Fairfield begins remapping of 18-month-old council districts Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Tuesday marked the first time all seven Fairfield council members met together in-person since the council expanded from five members with the city’s first district election in November.

Nearly nine months later, the city gets to redraw those district boundaries based on the 2020 census, final numbers for which are not expected out until the end of September.

“Redistricting determines which neighborhoods and communities are grouped together into a district for purposes of electing council members,” a staff report to the council states.

National Demographic Corp. has been contracted to help with the redistricting effort. The cost is $45,000. The deadline for adopting a

final map is April 2022, a staff report to the council states.

Public hearings on the redistricting start with a meeting at 6 p.m.

Aug. 17 in the council chamber at City Hall.

That will be followed by hearings Sept. 21, then a post-draft hearing Nov. 16. The final map adoption is expected to be considered Jan. 18.

A community workshop is scheduled for 8 p.m. Oct. 7. The location has not been determined, the staff report states.

The public can get information through the city’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. Fliers will be posted around town and information will be published in the Daily Republic, as well as appearing on Channel 26 and other media outlets. A dedicated webpage also has been developed.

LOS ANGELES — A new federal strike force launched by the U.S. Justice Department on Thursday will focus on disrupting the illegal flow of weapons into Los Angeles from neighboring states while also going after makers of local “ghost guns,” according to local and federal authorities.

Both sources of weapons are a major driver of violence within L.A., and local officials hope their disruption will help stem the city’s increasing levels of shootings and homicides.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said ghost guns – many of them locally made – now account for a third

of all weapons recovered by the LAPD. Others, he said, come from known trafficking routes into L.A. from sellers in Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

“Suspects go to those locations,” Moore said, “buy those weapons because of lax or permissive gun laws and then traffic those weapons here and sell them to the market of people who are not lawfully able to own or possess or purchase a weapon.”

The new federal effort will target “heavy players” responsible for making or moving large quantities of weapons into the city, “because the idea is to interrupt the supply cycle,” See Sellers, Page A9

FAIRFIELD — More than 30 residents have been hospitalized with Covid-19 as positive tests for the coronavirus continue to climb in Solano County.

There were no new Covid-related deaths reported.

The Public Health Division reported 124 new cases since Monday’s report, a two-day average of 62, up from the 43.67 daily average for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

There are 33 residents hospitalized as of Wednesday, the county reported, up from 27 Monday and from 19 July 16, the county reported.

Sixty-nine percent of residents 12 or older have received at least one vaccine shot, the county reported, a slight increase from 68% Monday. The number for fully vaccinated residents remained at 57% of those 12 or older.

Suisun City (2,419) added 11 cases; Dixon (1,976) added three; Benicia (1,070) added eight; and Rio Vista (413) added one. The one new report in the unincorporated area took that area’s total to 107 after it had

Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experi-

ence more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death.

The vast majority of people recover. The World Health Organization reports people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.

VACAVILLE — The City Council will face the public – literally – for the first time since March 10, 2020.

Vacaville announced Wednesday the return of in-person meetings starting Tuesday. All other city committees and commissions will resume in-person meetings in August.

“For more than a year our city leaders have relied on virtual platforms to conduct city business and engage with our community during the pandemic,” City Manager Aaron Busch said in a statement. “We look forward to resuming in-person meetings that will allow us direct interaction with our community when we welcome them back to our council chambers next Tuesday.”

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 650 Merchant St. Members of the

WalletHub shares Tokyo 2020 Olympics details by the numbers Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics are set to open Friday and the website WalletHub has shared its “The Numbers Report” on the Games The highlights: n Estimated cost of hosting the 2020 Tokyo Olympics: More than $26 billion. n Amount to be spent for Tokyo 2020 on coronavirus countermeasures: $900 million. n Estimated economic loss for Japan from barring overseas spectators and limiting the number of domestic fans: $15 billion. n Share of people in Japan who want the Tokyo Olympics canceled or postponed again as the coronavirus pandemic rolls on: 80%. n Number of security personnel who will work the Tokyo Games – roughly half the number of the 2016 Rio Olympics: 44,000. It will also be the first games to use artificial intelligence-managed security features, with the ability to correctly verify the faces of 230 million people in one second. n Age of the youngest member of Team USA: Swimmer Katie Grimes: 15.

The report also included some questions and answers.

Given its current vaccination count, is Tokyo safe and ready for the Olympics?

“After a slow start, the nation is now vaccinating 1 million citizens each day.

Even then, it is unlikely to reach most of the targets necessary to label the event safe,” wrote Andrew Billings, a professor at the University of Alabama.

“They are attempting some forms of ‘bubble’

scenarios (athletes will not use public transportation, etc.) but as we have seen within American sports, a ‘bubble’ only seems to work if tightly regulated, such as with the NBA bubble in 2020.”

Do you think that the U.S. Olympic team will take first place in the medal count?

“If the past is any indication, the U.S. should dominate the medals count. Except for a brief period in the ’70s when communist nations challenged the U.S. dominance at the Summer Olympic Games, the U.S. has dominated the medal count,” wrote Laurence Chalip, a professor at the George Mason University. “The rest of the world is indeed catching up to us, but we are still the richest nation in the world, which makes a difference.”

What will be the impact of the Olympics on Tokyo’s economy?

“The cost of this Olympic Games to the Tokyo and Japanese economies has been immense, with most esti-

mates putting the cost at $15.4 billion. The direct impact of the Games actually being held will help mitigate some of that, but not nearly what the benefits could have been,” wrote Charles Campisi, an associate professor at Baldwin Wallace University.

“There will be broadcast, sponsorship, ticket, merchandise and concession revenue, but the ticket, merchandise and concession revenues will be fractions of what they could have been given the limited capacity numbers and restriction on international spectators,” Campisi wrote.

“Additionally, and probably more important to the overall economy, (is) the loss of all of the travelers paying for hotels, restaurants and taxis, shopping, visiting museums and other attractions, and generally doing what tourists do will be significant,” Campisi wrote.

Cities rebel against new mask mandate, hinting at delta variant drama to come Erica Werner

NorCal SBDC offers business webinars in Spanish Daily Republic Staff

The Washington Post

PASADENA — Los Angeles County’s new mask mandate is infuriating officials in the sprawling region, leading to angry denunciations as some irate local leaders demand resignations and threaten to cut ties and form their own public health departments.

“The county cannot handle our current situation,” said Councilman Tony Wu of West Covina, a town of about 110,000 in the eastern part of the county. “We are absolutely not going to enforce nothing about this BS.” The municipal mess reflects the growing national tension over how to respond to the coronavirus’s new delta variant, which has led to a sizable rebound in cases and caught many government officials and business leaders by surprise. It is reviving tensions about vaccination levels and mask rules at a moment when many Americans had thought the virus was behind them.

This particular uproar underscores the volatile politics around the pandemic even in liberal Southern California, where patience has worn out in some quarters with new demands from health officials. Barely a month after state officials lifted nearly all pandemic restrictions – and even as the White House continues to insist that vaccinated people need not wear masks – the nation’s largest county clamped back down this past weekend, announcing a new requirement for everyone to wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status.

The backlash was immediate. While dominated by the city of Los Angeles itself, L.A. County is home to around 10 million residents spread across 88 distinct cities separated by hundreds of miles. And in some of these places, local officials have had it.

“We have had enough of these policies! We demand that you stop this one-size-fits-all approach to health and health outcomes,” elected officials

FAIRFIELD — The Northern California Small Business Development Center has developed a new workshop series specifically for the Spanish-speaking business clients and community.

Programa Hispano is a five-part webinar series for both startup and established businesses that will be taught in Spanish with the partnership of the California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

All webinars will take Linnea Bullion/ The Washington Post

Tom Hammel, left, and Darren D’Altorio enjoy the camaraderie of a return to the office in El Segundo, June 29. Los Angeles County has since reimposed indoor mask mandates. from a half-dozen towns including El Segundo, Torrance and Manhattan Beach wrote this week in a letter to their local county supervisor. “We implore you to modify this recent order, engage with us, and set a policy that better reflects the unique context of our area.”

Torrance and West Covina – and even tony Beverly Hills – are among the cities that have either launched or are exploring efforts to break away and set up their own health departments that would not be beholden to the county’s dictates.

No such effort has been attempted in decades, as far as the officials involved are aware, but they are pushing ahead, setting up talks with county and state officials and directing their city attorneys to examine how to move forward.

“I’ve been advocating for Torrance to detach from L.A. County’s health department for months now,” said Torrance City Council member Aurelio Mattucci. “This latest mask mandate is really going to have a terrible effect on businesses, it’s really going to instill more fear in shoppers and patrons and that’s where I think we need to draw the line.”

Beverly Hills Mayor Robert Wunderlich said he viewed the county’s new mask mandate as “justifiable” given rising cases, but asked, “Did they pick the optimal way?

I’m not sure.”

His city is in the process of enlisting an expert to help officials understand what setting up a public health department of their own would entail. The argument for doing so, Wunderlich said, would be “to have things in our own hands, for us to be in the position to be decision-makers about requirements and rules.”

In announcing the new mask mandate, the county pointed to a sevenfold increase in new cases since the state reopened June 15, driven by the highly transmissible delta variant. In a written response to questions, the L.A. County health department’s communications office defended the department’s move and suggested it would be unwise for cities to try to create their own health departments. The agency did not directly respond to calls for the head of the health department to step down.

“Cities can only establish their own health departments with state approval and demonstrated capacity to perform essential public health functions,” the county health department said. “Given the alarming increase in cases and hospitalizations across the county and the increasing circulation of the more infectious delta variant, we urge city managers and elected officials to support this sensible public health measure as this is a

relatively non-disruptive action that can help slow the spread of the virus.

At this point, working together is the most sensible path forward.”

But some local business leaders questioned how a mask mandate imposed

by L.A. County would do anything but create chaos and confusion, especially since residents in some areas of the county could drive a block and go shopping or out to eat in places like Orange County or Ventura County, which have imposed no new mandates.

“We really want L.A. County to remain aligned with the state because it does create confusion,” said Nancy Hoffman Vanyek, president and chief executive at the Greater San Fernando Valley Chamber of Commerce. “You could literally go into a neighboring area and it could possibly have a different set of restrictions.”

Vanyek and other critics of the county’s move questioned whether it would end up being just a first step back toward the kinds of capacity restrictions or even outright closures that hammered businesses in the early weeks and months of the pandemic. “That’s the big concern,” she said.

Supporters of L.A. County’s move say it’s just the opposite – an effort to ensure that case rates don’t get so high that the county does have to look at going back into lockdown.

The vehicle that struck the man was southbound on Sonoma Boulevard. The driver remained at the scene and was cooperative with the investigation. Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in this incident, police reported.

Members of the Vallejo Police Department Traffic Division are leading the investigation.

VALLEJO — Touro University California will host a webinar, titled “Beyond Pandemic Pedagogy: What Lessons Have We Learned From the ‘New Normal,’ ” at 3 p.m. Aug. 4.

K-12 education has been significantly disrupted over the past 18 months by complete school closures for public health reasons, remote instruction with digital tools and resources, and digital inequity that has impeded some opportunities to learn, the university said in a press release.

As students prepare to return to in-person learning – in some instances for the first time in more than a year – what are some things that parents and educators need to consider?

Join the panel to

discuss how to leverage lessons learned over the past year and a half about online or digitally supported teaching and learning, and what communities and educators should prepare for when they return to what hopefully can be a more typical school year.

Lisette Estrella-Henderson, Solano County superintendent of schools, will be a moderator of the discussion.

She will be joined by host Michael Barbour, an associate professor of instructional design at Touro; panelist Mary Rice, an assistant professor of literacy at the University of New Mexico; and panelist Jered Borup, associate professor, division of Learning Technologies at George Mason University.

The Dixie fire in Northern California’s Butte and Plumas counties passed the 100,000-acre milestone, Thursday.

Dixie fire reaches megafire status while Tamarack fire crosses state lines Tribune Content Agency The Dixie fire burning in Northern California’s Butte and Plumas counties mushroomed to more than 100,000 acres Thursday, becoming the second blaze in the state this year to surpass the megafire milestone.

The aggressive fire has now destroyed at least eight structures, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, said, and at least 1,500 more are threatened as it continues its slow crawl east toward Lake Almanor.

The fire was at 103,910 acres and 17% containment Thursday morning, Cal Fire said.

It is the second megafire in the state this year. Days ago, the 105,000-acre Sugar fire in Butte County garnered the designation, for a fire surpassing 100,000 acres.

Wildfire experts have said California’s fires are burning faster and arriving earlier this year because heat and drought have dried the landscape and primed vegetation to burn.

Wind and topography also played a role in the Dixie fire’s latest run, said Cal Fire Butte County spokesman Rick Carhart, as the area’s valleys, peaks and canyons are enabling erratic movement and spread.

“There are fingers of fire that are burning, so it’s not the whole fire front moving together,” Carhart said. “With more flame-front out there, there’s more ability for it to grow.”

Carhart said clear skies in the forecast for Thursday afternoon would encourage fire activity because it “allows more sun onto the fire and heats things up.”

An additional 500 personnel have arrived to help fight the flames, bringing the total size of the crew to just over 3,900, he said.

Firefighters have come from Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and even Florida to help with the operation.

Evacuation orders for Lake Almanor’s west shore, as well as portions of Butte and Plumas County, remain in effect, officials said.

Evacuation warnings have also been issued in Butterfly Valley, the Round Valley Reservoir and Long Valley, the Chester area and the Lake Almanor Peninsula.

Several road closures are in place, including portions of Bucks Lake Road and Highway 89, according to the California Department of Transportation.

During a community briefing Wednesday evening, Cal Fire operations chief Tony Brownell said crews were contending with 40-foot flame lengths, noting that spot fires were

increasingly jumping containment lines.

“If conditions hold, we’ve got a great probability of success up here,” he said, but “Mother Nature gets a vote. If the wind comes back up, we get spots over the line.”

Conditions are similarly challenging at the Tamarack fire in Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, which swelled across the CaliforniaNevada state line for the first time Wednesday afternoon.

Thursday By morning, the fire was 50,129 acres and only 4% contained, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

Fire incident spokeswoman Tracy LeClair said the focus Thursday remains near the junction of Highways 88 and 89, as well as along Highway 395, where the fire is most active and poses a potential threat to the communities of Spring Valley and Holbrook Highlands.

More than 1,200 personnel are working to quench the flames, she said, including ground crews, helicopters and air tankers.

As with the Dixie fire, firefighters are contending with difficult conditions, LeClair said, including pyrocumulonimbus clouds and fire whirls, which can force them to back off.

“Across the fire, it’s really very hot, dry and windy,” she said, “and on the east side – because of the change in fuels down to piñon, sage and grasses – it’s been very fast-moving and very dangerous.”

Smoke continues to be a problem, with conditions in nearby Markleeville moving into the “very unhealthy” range Thursday morning, according to EPA air monitoring site AirNow.gov.

The Tamarack and Dixie fires, as well as the massive Bootleg fire in Oregon, are creating such large plumes that their smoke has made it to the East Coast.

The Alpine county Sheriff’s Office ordered mandatory evacuations for the Blue Lakes Road area and the Mesa Vista area. Previously issued evacuation orders in Markleeville, Grover Hot Springs, Shay Creek, Woodfords and nearby areas remain in effect.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in Nevada has issued voluntary evacuations for all residents in the Topaz Ranch Estates and Topaz Lake areas. Previously issued evacuation warnings in the Leviathan and Holbrook Junction areas are unchanged.

Portions of Highway 88 remained closed Thursday because of the fire, the California Department of Transportation said.

Highway 395 is now closed from China Springs Road to the Nevada- California state line.

but briefly shut down Highway 12. Multiple agencies, including the Fairfield Fire Department and the Suisun City Fire Department, responded to the scene.

Perpetrators of domestic abuse committed 2 of 3 mass shootings from 2014-19, study finds Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO — Perpetrators of domestic abuse represent a tiny subset of U.S. gun owners but pose the greatest threat when it comes to mass shootings, according to gun violence researchers who studied cases over a six-year period from 2014 to 2019.

This group is composed of people who have abused an intimate partner or who have a history of having done so, according to research from the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence published in the Injury Epidemiology journal.

Two out of every three mass shootings analyzed in that paper were linked to domestic violence, said Lisa Geller, the lead author of the paper and the state affairs manager for the nonprofit affiliate of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Her team looked at shootings where four or more people died, not including the shooter.

Not only was their a frequent intersection between domestic violence and mass shootings, Geller said, but when the two intersected, it typically raised the risk that someone would die. On average, her research team found, two out of six people will survive a mass shooting if it’s not related to domestic violence, but if it is, only one in six made it out alive.

“The intent behind a perpetrator who kills a family member or intimate partner may be different from someone who perpetrates some of these high-profile public mass shootings that we hear about a lot on the news,” Geller said. “This intent to make sure that a family or intimate partner is killed, may mean that they are more likely to actually die from that gunshot.”

These shooters also execute their plan in familiar surroundings where they know how to trap people and get to their intended target, Geller said, whereas in random mass shootings, the perpetrator is shooting indiscriminately and going after as many people as possible.

The difference in survival, Geller said, also may be affected by how quickly ambulances or police are alerted or how quickly they respond. Her research did not control for such differences.

Geller’s team pulled data on mass shootings from the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive, an online repository of incidents logged by more than 7,500 law enforcement, government, media and

June 12 marked the fifth anniversary of the mass shooting that left 49 club patrons dead. commercial sources. Then they set about tracking down the history of each shooter with a death toll of four or more.

The researchers started with cases from 2014 because that’s when the archive launched, and they ended in 2019 because it was the last complete year before their work began.

Mass shootings actually are rare events in the United States, making up about 1% of the gun violence that occurs, said Geller, whose team found 110 events in the Gun Violence Archive where four or more victims were killed.

However, she said, if you looked at all homicides related to domestic violence, you would find that, on average, they represent 25% of all homicides in the United States.

In 2019, the National Vital Statistics System reported 19,141 U.S. homicides.

This small subset of gun owners are taking a lot of lives, not only those of their partners and bystanders but also their own, Geller said.

“A lot of the perpetrators of these mass shootings, specifically of domestic violence mass shootings, did die by firearm suicide,” Geller said, “and so there is this relationship between suicidality and domestic

violence and potentially mass shootings. . . . We found that 55 perpetrators . . . died during the incidents, and 71% of those (who) died, died by firearm suicides.”

All but one of the remaining shooters were shot and killed by law enforcement, often referred to as suicide by police, Geller said. The final perpetrator died as a result of an overdose.

The lethality of guns makes it more likely that people will die in crisis situations involving domestic violence, Geller said, and that is why her group advocates for removing guns from perpetrators of intimate partner violence whether they are married to their partner or not.

The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence and other research organizations recommend that states use a couple of tools to remove guns from people with a history of domestic violence: extreme risk protection orders, often called red flag laws, and a type of civil restraining order known as domestic violence protection orders.

While federal law prohibits anyone subject to a domestic violence order from buying or possessing a weapon, the statute does not address the temporary restraining orders ini-

tially issued to defendants in such cases. Victims face the highest risk of being killed or injured before a final order is granted, researchers have found.

California and other states have moved to close that gap in this protection by requiring surrender of firearms after a temporary permit has been issued and expanding the definition of intimate partners to those who have had a dating or engagement relationship.

And, extreme risk protection orders authorize certain individuals – employers, co-workers and teachers in the Golden State – to petition courts to remove firearms from individuals who are a danger to themselves or others.

On its website, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence offers a safety plan with almost two dozen tips on how to help a person who is being abused.

Geller suggests those who want to help familiarize themselves with potential resources, then ask a person being abused whether they’re OK. Listen without judging, she said, and offer the individual one resource if they express a need for help.

Although women make up the majority of abuse victims, experts say, everyone should bear in mind that men, women and nonbinary individuals all may find themselves in such relationships. “One in four women and one in seven men will experience severe domestic violence in their lifetimes,” Geller said.

Geller said she hopes her team’s work shows people that domestic violence should no longer be considered a personal or private family matter: “This is an enormous public health crisis,” she said.

his problem, not yours. Don’t take the bait.

Dear Annie: I am disturbed to still see people leaving their dogs in hot cars. Whenever I see this happening, I go into the nearest businesses and have announcements made over intercoms to try to track down the owners. If I can’t find them, I call 911 – because it truly is an emergency. Here are some relevant data points from Redrover.com.

“Dogs are especially vulnerable to heat-related illness because they can only cool off by panting and through the pads in their feet.

“Even on seemingly mild days, an enclosed car can be deadly. In a Stanford University study, when it was 72 degrees outside, a car’s internal temperature climbed to 116 degrees within one hour.

“A dog can only withstand a high body temperature for a short time before suffering nerve damage, heart problems, liver damage, brain damage or even death.

“Studies show that cracking the windows has little effect on a car’s internal temperature.” — Friend to Fido Dear Friend: I’m happy to print this reminder, which is always relevant but especially urgent as we enter the dog days of summer.

Carlile announces new album, drops single ‘Right On Time’ Tribune Content Agency It feels like Brandi Carlile hasn’t stepped out of the spotlight since her career-altering “By the Way, I Forgive You” album dropped back in early 2018. We’re not complaining, but it’s hard to believe that was already threeplus years ago.

Nevertheless, following a whirlwind period in which Carlile kept busy with all-star country collabs and bestselling memoirs, Washington’s new Grammy collector in chief is “back” with her highly anticipated follow-up.

This spring Carlile confirmed she and the Hanseroth twins had a new record in the can, but was otherwise light on specifics. On Wednesday, she announced her

seventh studio album, “In These Silent Days,” will arrive Oct. 1 through Low Country Sound/Elektra Records, with lead single “Right On Time” out now.

For “In These Silent Days,” Carlile reassembled her newly minted Americana dream team, working with producers Dave Cobb and Shooter Jennings, with whom she cut “By the Way, I Forgive You.” (Hey, if it ain’t broke.) She and Jennings also teamed up on Tanya Tucker’s acclaimed comeback album “While I’m Livin’,” which accounted for a couple of those Grammys.

Directed by “Friends” star Courteney Cox, the cinematic video for “Right On Time” features Carlile solemnly walking through a theater’s backstage after the rapturous applause fades.

In brief Mississippi asks Supreme Court to overturn Roe

Mississippi asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, raising the stakes in a polarizing clash the justices are set to hear in the term that will start in October.

In a court filing Thursday, Mississippi Attorney Lynn Fitch General called the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling and a 1992 follow-up decision “egregiously wrong” and said the argument for overturning them was “overwhelming.”

“Nothing but a full break from those cases can stem the harms they have caused,” Fitch wrote.

The case centers on a Mississippi law that would ban the procedure in almost all circumstances after 15 weeks of pregnancy. It will be the court’s first abortion case since Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation created a 6-3 conservative majority.

Biden appoints special envoy to Haiti WASHINGTON — The Biden administration named a special envoy to Haiti on Thursday as a new interim government took power and the Caribbean nation prepared to bury its assassinated president, Jovenel Moise.

Daniel Ambassador Foote, who has served as Deputy Chief of Mission in Haiti and previously as the U.S. Ambassador to Zambia, will “engage with Haitian and international partners to facilitate longterm peace and stability and support efforts to hold free and fair presidential and legislative elections,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.

“He will also work with partners to coordinate assistance efforts in several areas, including humanitarian, security, and investigative assistance,” Price added.

Biden’s team has been urging that democratic elections take place this year amid the country’s protracted economic and political crisis, despite concerns within Haiti that gang violence could stifle the vote.

The U.S. government is currently assisting the Haitian National Police’s investigation into Moise’s murder and has offered broad assistance to the interim government. The Biden administration also delivered 500,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines to the country last week – Haiti’s firstvaccinedoses–andsays that more are on the way.

Bill would require women to register for the draft WASHINGTON — The Senate Armed Services Committee included language in its version of the fiscal 2022 National Defense Authorization Act to require women, for the first time, to register for the draft.

Congress has debated for several years whether to require women to sign up with the Selective Service, as men must do between the ages of 18 and 25. No American has been drafted in nearly a half-century, but the Selective Service provides the government with information that could be used if a new draft were to occur in a time of national emergency.

Congress’ previous efforts to require women to register for the draft have fallen short despite widespread bipartisan support for the move.

UC raises tuition despite student outcry, touting more financial aid Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — The University of California will raise tuition beginning in fall 2022 after the Board of Regents approved the increase Thursday following prolonged debate and widespread student protests.

The 4.2% increase in tuition and fees – $534 added to the current annual level of $12,570 – will apply only to incoming undergraduates next year and stay flat for up to six years for them. Successive undergraduate classes would get a similar deal – one increase tied to inflation in their incoming year with tuition frozen for six years.

The undergraduate tuition increase includes a 2% surcharge for the incoming class next year, declining for subsequent classes until it is phased out by 2026. Graduate student tuition would be adjusted annually by the rate of inflation.

The plan aims to bring financial predictability to families, help struggling campuses maintain educational standards and make a UC education more affordable for many low-income students by raising more revenue for financial aid, UC President Michael V. Drake said. He oversaw a similar tuition plan at Ohio State University before taking the reins at UC last year and said it had increased financial aid, lowered student debt levels and increased student diversity.

The regents’ action marked UC’s second

tuition increase since 2011 and came after two years of discussion. It was set for a vote last July but shelved with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Drake told regents Thursday that the financial squeeze on campuses over the past several years has resulted in negative fallouts on students – more crowded classrooms and dorms, less interaction with faculty and more difficulty in accessing courses needed to graduate.

“This is not sustainable, and it is not acceptable,” he said.

“This plan proposes a much more stable and secure way forward for students and for the university.”

Opponents of the plan, however, have sharply questioned raising tuition amid a pandemic that has upended financial stability for so many families and after Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature provided the university system with $1.27 billion, the largest ever single-year infusion of state funding, for the 2021-22 fiscal year.

The UC Student Association and several other campus organizations lobbied against the increase, using a # s t o p t h efor e ver h i ke social media campaign.

They argued that the plan would hurt students who fall through the cracks – LGBTQ students whose parents refuse to pay college costs, immigrants here without legal authorization who don’t qualify for in-state tuition and low-income nonresident students hit by fluctuating exchange

rates and limited financial aid access.

Students who spoke out against the tuition plan during the public comment period Thursday also said it would increase financial burdens on those who already struggle to personally pay the $10,000 UC expects them to contribute to their education and reduce racial and economic diversity.

“Even as the university admits its most diverse class ever, it is making itself less accessible by balancing its budget on the backs of those least able to afford it,” said Rafael Jaime, president of UAW Local 2865, which represents 19,000 academic student employees.

They won over Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, an exofficio regent. “The cost of public higher ed is too high & increasing tuition is NOT the answer,” she tweeted last week. “I stand w/students against the proposed tuition increases.”

But several regents who expressed skepticism when the issue was discussed in May voted for the plan after UC officials tweaked it to address their concerns. Regent Eloy Ortiz Oakley, for instance, had fretted that tying tuition increases to the rate of inflation could result in steep new charges if consumer prices soar. But the final plan will calculate inflation at a three-year rolling average of the California Consumer Prize Index and cap any increase at 5%.

Regents retain the ability to revise student charges for any reason

at their discretion and will be required to reauthorize the plan in five years under an amendment by Student Regent Alexis Atsilvsgi Zaragoza, who voted against the increase along with Kounalakis, Regent Laphonza Butler and exoffico regents, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond.

Board Chair Cecilia Estolano also evolved from what she had called her initial “super skeptical” position to support, noting that more financial aid revenue generated by the plan could help lower the debt burden on students. She also has said that the tuition plan amounted to a progressive tax, which would be a fair way to raise money for the additional faculty, staff, mental health counselors and other support that students need.

“You can’t buy excellence on the cheap,” she said Thursday.

More than half of UC undergraduates would not be affected by the increase, since their tuition and fees are covered by financial aid.

UC officials say, more than 106,000 California undergraduates would receive more grant aid under the plan, giving them additional funding for housing, food, books and other nontuition expenses. That’s because 45% of the new tuition revenue would go toward financial aid for California students.

Over the past two decades, UC officials said, the system’s core funds have increased by 9%

while enrollment has grown by 71%, resulting in a 36% drop in per-student funding. financial That squeeze prompted the majority of campus chancellors to call for a tuition increase last year as they slashed budgets, dug into reserves, borrowed funds and substantially halted hiring to address what they called one of the worst financial crises they’ve ever collectively faced, fueled by the pandemic.

UC Berkeley, for instance, is particularly dependent on tuition, since it has no medical center to generate additional revenue.

The campus has been hit by two successive budget holes amounting to $150 million in 2016, then $340 million last year after the pandemic led to crushing losses and higher costs.

At UCLA, student-faculty ratios have increased from 25:1 in 2003-04 to 29:1 in 2019-20. And UC Riverside, like the other campuses, has struggled with inadequate student services and facilities in deep disrepair – falling ceiling tiles, leaking roofs, antiquated air systems and lab equipment breakdowns.

The tuition revenue, UC officials said, will help pay for needed repairs and maintenance, reduce class sizes, boost student instruction, enhance student services and provide more support to improve graduation rates and reduce achievement gaps.

Report: One-third of US has limited voting access Tribune Content Agency More than halfway into the year, and with most state legislative sessions concluded, the full scope of voting changes spurred by the 2020 election is coming into view.

As of last week, 18 states have enacted 30 laws that limit voting access, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, a liberal public policy institute at New York University Law School that has been tracking state voting legislation. At the same time, 25 states have signed into law 54 measures that expand access to the ballot box.

And more voting changes are sure to come.

Thirteen state legislatures are still in session, and additional states, like Texas, may convene for special sessions.

Zbigniew Bzdak/Chicago Tribune/TNS (2020)

Erika Garcia, right, and her mother, Rosa Figueroa, vote at Daisy’s Hair Studio in Chicago, Nov. 3, 2020. Both obtained citizenship three years prior and were voting for the first time in a presidential election.

Since the start of the year, more than 400 bills tightening voting rules have been introduced across nearly every state. This wave of restrictions is “the most aggressive” the Brennan Center has seen in more than a decade of tracking such laws. And the

proposed changes are in large part motivated by false claims of voter fraud in last year’s election.

Arkansas and Montana, with four new laws each, are tied for enacting the most voting restrictions this year.

Arizona is a close second with three new laws.

Most of the restrictive voting measures approved this year focus on rolling back mail voting access by limiting the availability of drop boxes, shortening the time voters have to apply for an absentee ballot and limiting who can return another voter’s mailed ballot. Other laws impose new identification requirements and increase maintenance of voter rolls, which could lead to the unintended removal of eligible voters.

In half the states where voting easements have been approved, those laws have mostly been focused on expanding access to early in-person and mail voting, as well as voter registration. A handful of states have also taken steps to restore voting rights to people with past felony convictions.

“Many of the states in

which voting is already comparatively more accessible are the same as those enacting policies to further strengthen voting access, deepening a national divide such that the promise of the right to vote depends increasingly on where Americans happen to live,” the Brennan Center wrote in its report.

Once again, the goodgovernment organization urged Congress to take action to mitigate these voting restrictions by passing the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Since House Democrats passed the For the People Act in March, the sweeping democracy reform legislation has been stuck in the evenly split Senate with no clear path forward. The VRAA has yet to be introduced in this Congress.

Unsafe condo building evacuated in Florida CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — Citing a falling roof, inoperable windows and various electrical and fire safety hazards, the city of Coral Springs declared a condo unsafe Thursday, giving residents two weeks to evacuate.

The two-story, 16-unit Villa Bianca Condominium at 3990 Woodside Drive was nearly full, mostly with renters, the city said. Only one unit was empty – unlivable since a fire seven years ago, according to the city.

Thursday night, pink slips of paper were stuck to the weathered condo doors, declaring it an “unsafe building” that must be empty by Aug. 5.

The evacuation order was the first in Broward County since the collapse of the Champlain condo tower in Surfside in June. Since then, a few condos in Miami-Dade County also were declared unsafe and ordered closed.

Because the council had been voted on citywide, drawing district maps was not necessary.

The opening salvo to change came in August 2019 when the city received a letter demanding it change to individual districts or face legal action. Among the allegations was the City Council did not represent its minority populations, and district elections would give those populations a greater voice in their own areas of the city.

While the council felt

like it had been trapped in a blackmail scheme, it did not fight the demand.

The council began the transition to six council districts in September 2019. The mayor’s position would remain a citywide selection.

The council approved the district maps in January 2020, approved the ordinance setting the new district boundaries in February 2020, and for the first time ever in the city, voters in four districts prepared to go to the polls.

There was no challenger in District 6, so Pam Bertani automatically returned to the council, which added two new members: Doriss Panduro in District 5, and Scott Tonnesen in District 2. Rick Vaccaro, now the vice mayor, was elected to represent District 4, but also was a returning council member.

CHP Officer Kirk Griess during a Freeway Sign Memorial Dedication Ceremony in Vacaville, Thursday.

Griess

Keri Griess described her late husband in terms that had not frequently been shared during the various memorial events that have been held since his death Aug. 18, 2018.

She called him a “simple and humble man,” a man who cheered on his children at their soccer games, and “the man who would buy me flowers just because.”

Keri Griess said she was not prepared for the life she is now living without her husband of 26 years, but intends to live it “not only for myself and my children, but for Kirk.”

Griess had made a traffic stop on westbound

Interstate 80 near Manuel Campos Parkway when a motorist veered across several lanes at a high rate of speed and crashed into Griess and the motorist who he had stopped.

Griess, who was 46, and Jaime Bueza Manuel, 49, of Vallejo. were killed.

Lyman said he hopes the motorists who pass by the memorial signs understand the sacrifice Griess made.

Rick LaBeske, the president of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen, also hopes the signs will serve as a reminder to all officers about the dangers they face each day.

“He loved being a

CHP officer . . . like piloting a fighter jet,” CHP Capt. Steve West said, noting Griess’ love of being part of the motorcycle unit at the Solano CHP Office.

“Kirk raised his right hand and said, ‘I’ll serve,’ ” West said.

Griess was a 19-year veteran of the CHP. He also served four years in the U.S. Marine Corps.

In addition to his wife, Griess is survived by two daughters and a son. He also was a son and a brother, and a colleague and friend to many others.

“Kirk was my hero,” Officer Ian Cheverier said.

our efforts as ATF works with law enforcement to track the movement of illegal firearms used in violent crimes,” U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. “These strike forces enable sustained coordination across multiple jurisdictions to help disrupt the worst gun trafficking corridors.”

Shootings and homicides have surged nationally since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic last year and the associated social and economic shutdowns. L.A. has been no exception.

As of Tuesday, homicides were up nearly 30% over last year, and shootings were up 43%. The city ended 2020 with 350 homicides, the most in a decade.

To help disrupt the violence, the federal strike forces, led by agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF, will “share information and otherwise collaborate across districts where firearms trafficking schemes cross state or jurisdictional boundaries to focus enforcement against entire traffick-

ing networks,” the Justice Department said.

It said the teams would do so “from the places where guns are unlawfully obtained to the areas where they are used to commit violent crimes.”

Moore said the initiative wouldn’t “change the entire course of the world,” as the LAPD and other agencies already work with the ATF on such investigations, but would add strength to those efforts.

Along with federal agents teaming up with local officers and detectives in greater numbers, officials said federal prosecutors would coordinate with the strike forces to review cases and prosecute any individuals who had broken federal gun trafficking laws – which can carry stiffer sentences than state cases.

Moore said he hoped the increased threat of federal prosecution would serve as a new deterrent for would-be gun traffickers, who he said are motivated by greed.

“Make no mistake about it. The people who are purveying these guns and trafficking are doing it for one reason: the almighty buck,” Moore

said. “We need to create a consequence for that that deters others from coming into it while we pick off those that are causing, in my belief fueling, this bloodshed.”

Moore said the LAPD knew there were specific pipelines that landed guns in the hands of L.A. criminals, because those guns are recovered during police investigations and then traced back to their origins by LAPD detectives.

“You can cycle and track them back to a parking lot in a trunk of a vehicle at an Arizona gun show,” Moore said, as one example.

In other cases, individuals arrested with ghost guns acknowledge that they’ve been purchased on the growing “underground market” for such weapons within L.A., he said.

Such pathways for guns to land on the streets of L.A. are constantly evolving and, therefore, difficult to permanently disrupt, Moore said. However, the added federal resources will help in the fight, he said, including in South L.A. and other areas of the city that have been hardest hit by recent violence.

Allen wasn’t surprised by the numbers.

She works in different fields, including helping formerly incarcerated women. She is known as “the prison lady.”

Among the people Unity Hall serves are the homeless, those on the poverty line and those formerly incarcerated.

Visitors will notice some big changes.

There’s new lighting, new walls and a coffee bar/cafe slated to open later. Much of the work was done by Josh Allen, Deanna Allen’s 18-year-old son.

The conference room will become a family center so parents attending meetings have a safe place for their children.

This is key to moving forward, Allen said. Many of today’s drug abusers are the third, sometimes even the fourth generation involved with substance abuse, she said.

The underlying cause is often trauma, some dating back to childhood.

Kemp spent more than 30 years as a firefighter.

As an 18-year-old, one of his early calls was a 4-year-old boy who had been crushed by a rack from a truck.

“I can still tell you what I ate for breakfast that day,” he said.

He tried drugs as a coping mechanism and became addicted. Kemp said he was let go from his job when he told the supervisor.

Kemp got sober. He got involved with Solano Recovery Project three years ago, looking for something to do.

More firefighters committed suicide in 2017 than died in the line of duty, he said.

“I saw myself going down that path,” he said.

That same year, Allen said, 15,000 came through the doors of Unity Hall. She secured a grant in 2018 that enabled staff to be hired for the first time. Unity Hall was launched in 2007.

That money kept them afloat during Covid-19, she said. There was no

rental income, yet rent needed to be paid.

A Jamba Juice fundraiser is planned. The cafe/coffee shop should also help with funds, Allen said.

Josh Allen shared his story of how a friend died in high school from an epileptic seizure. Social media spread the news across the campus in about two hours, he said.

That group of friends turned to drugs and eventually splintered.

Some even dropped out of school.

He also named fellow students who were killed or died from substance abuse in their high school years.

Many of his friends, he said, are being raised by grandparents, not their birth parents.

Teens won’t ask for help, he said.

“You have to shove it down our throat,” he said.

It’s time to break the cycle of trauma, Deanna Allen said.

Biden hits Cuba with more sanctions over its crackdown on protesters Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Thursday announced a new round of sanctions against the besieged Cuban government for its violent crackdown on demonstrators, blacklisting the defense minister and a paramilitary police force.

Officials said the sanctions targeted specific members of the communist-ruled island’s government who were deemed responsible for the repression of protesters demanding more freedom, food and health care. Hundreds have been beaten or arrested, human rights activists say.

The measures come as President Joe Biden faces mounting criticism from hard-liners in both political parties in Congress seeking stronger retaliation against Cuban President Miguel DíazCanel and his associates.

“I unequivocally condemn the mass detentions and sham trials that are unjustly sentencing to prison those who dared to speak out in an effort to intimidate and threaten the Cuban people into silence,” Biden said in a statement. “The United States stands with the brave Cubans who have taken to the streets to oppose 62 years of repression under a communist regime.”

Named by the Treasury Department were a single, albeit powerful, individual, Armed Forces Minister Álvaro López Miera, and one entity, the feared Boinas Negras (Black Berets), a paramilitary police force used to break up many of the dem-

The protests come amid demonstrations in Cuba over the lack of food, the pace of Covid-19 vaccinations and the government. onstrations. That security unit, however, was already blacklisted.

It was unclear what effect the sanctions would have since those targeted were unlikely to have assets in the U.S. or business dealings with U.S. firms, all of which are barred under the sanctions. The punishment comes under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, a nearly decadeold measure initially designed to focus on Russia but expanded to punish abusers of human rights worldwide.

State Department spokesman Ned Price said the actions taken Thursday had bite. “This is part of our effort (against Cuba) that is not over, to be sure,” Price said in a briefing with reporters. “This will not be the sum total. . . . We are going to hold to account

Cuban officials and entities responsible . . . for the violence, repression and human rights violations.”

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a prominent hawk on Cuba, said the key was to erode confidence within Cuba’s security forces.

“This is welcome additional pressure,” he said on MSNBC ahead of the formal White House announcement, “but more needs to be done.” He urged a diplomatic push by the Organization of American States and other regional bodies, with Washington in the lead.

The sanctions will also be seen as a nod to the battleground state of Florida, where immigrants from Cuba and other conflictive parts of Latin America, and their descendants, form a sizable voting bloc that often leans conservative and Republican.

Price acknowledged a certain symbolic value

to ramping up pressure on the Cuban government. “There is an important messaging element,” he said.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez responded angrily to the new sanctions, saying that the U.S. should apply the same criteria and punishment to itself for the “acts of daily repression and police brutality” that killed numerous American citizens last year.

Writing on Twitter, he also criticized the State Department’s “offensive and humiliating” campaign to pressure European and Latin American countries to join in condemning Cuba.

SEATTLE — A Seattle-based Coast Guard icebreaker damaged by a shipboard fire in 2020 is back at sea this summer on a lengthy mission that will include an Arctic transit through the Northwest Passage.

As sea ice retreats in a changing climate, the passage has become an increasingly accessible route, and researchers who will board the Coast Guard Cutter Healy are scheduled to conduct work that will include seafloor mapping and analyzing the ocean fate of meltwater from Greenland’s glaciers.

The Northwest Passage part of the voyage is expected to last about 10 days, and take place in September on a Canadian Arctic maritime route that connects the North Pacific to the North Atlantic.

It will be a highlight of a mission that began with a July 10 departure from Seattle and also includes an Atlantic transit, and traverse of the Panama Canal as part of a circumnavigation of North America.

The 85-member crew is expected back to Seattle sometime before Thanksgiving.

“The last time the Healy did the Northwest Passage was in 2005. This is a great opportunity,” said Capt.

Kenneth Boda, the commanding officer of the 420-foot Healy in a phone interview from Dutch Harbor in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.

The Healy is a medium icebreaker that is able to break ice up to 10-feet thick. The Healy and the Seattlebased Polar Star are the Coast Guard’s only two functioning seagoing icebreakers. Both are aging, and have suffered maintenance and other mishaps.

In August of last year, while off Alaska, a fire onboard the Healy damaged a propulsion motor that used power generated by diesel engines to spin a shaft and propeller. The fire was put out within a half-hour, and the vessel had to cancel a summer Arctic cruise and limp south.

Repairs in a California shipyard involved cutting out a big chunk of the side of the vessel so the old motor could be removed, and then installing a spare that had been stored in Baltimore. As the vessel made its way back to Seattle, the motor was not in perfect alignment.

But final adjustments were made in June, and it has performed well during the initials days of the voyage as the Healy cruised north to the port of Dutch Harbor, Boda said.

The crew has a wide range of experience, and includes some teenagers who just completed Coast Guard boot camp as well as recent officer graduates from the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut.

“I’m the old man of the crew at the age of 46,” Boda said.

‘Have him die somewhere else’ Florida homeowners yell at man trying to save neighbor’s life on their lawn Tribune Content Agency A Florida man was introduced to two very different kinds of neighbors this week.

One of them is being hailed a hero for possibly saving his life as he convulsed inside a car – which rolled down into the lawn of a family who, instead of helping, yelled at them to get off their property, authorities said Thursday.

“Get off our lawn,” the homeowners reportedly said. “Get the man out of here, have him die somewhere else.”

The shocking incident happened Monday as a lawn worker identified only as “Tony” was walking to work in a Palm Beach County community, according to the local sheriff’s office. The man spotted a neighbor having a “serious seizure” inside his vehicle and immediately rushed to help him, going as far as trying to stop the moving car with his own hands, authorities said.

Biden and his advisers, early in his administration, said they would begin to relax some of the harsh measures imposed by former President Donald Trump, who was reversing an opening overseen by his predecessor.

The Biden administration said it would revive travel between the U.S.

and Cuba and make it easier for Cuban Americans to send remittances to relatives. That has not yet happened.

Biden said Thursday that officials were “reviewing our remittance policy to determine how we can maximize support to the Cuban people.” A remittance task force was set up this week to examine the issue, but officials have given no timeline for when to expect results.

The car finally stopped on a neighbor’s lawn, but the driver was still “in terrible shape” inside the locked vehicle, according to the post. Tony screamed and begged the neighbors to help him, but the homeowners were apparently more worried about their grass.

“A very sad moment for Tony, but he kept at it!!” deputies said.

Tony, who recognized the driver from the neighborhood, ran to his home and alerted the man’s wife. Emergency workers arrived at the scene moments later and treated the driver.

After recovering from the health scare, the unidentified neighbor called the sheriff’s office asking for Tony’s phone number so he could personally thank him.

“The man said, ‘I want to talk to Tony . . . He saved my life,’ ” deputies said in the Facebook post.

The sheriff’s office also shared a photo of Tony, calling him a “true neighborhood hero.”

An additional step the U.S. is contemplating, administration officials said, is to replenish the staff at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, which was all but closed under Trump.

Minister: Death toll in South Africa mayhem rises to 337 JOHANNESBURG — South Africa’s government said on Thursday that the death toll from a week of mayhem and mob violence had risen to 337 people.

In the the coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal, there were 258 deaths.

Another 79 were confirmed in Gauteng province, which includes the capital, Pretoria and the country’s economic hub, Johannesburg, cabinet minister Khumbuzo Ntshaveni said.

At the start of the week, the number of confirmed dead had stood at 215.

The two provinces were rocked by riots, looting and vandalism for about a week starting on

July 9. Major highways and rail routes were shut down, leading to shortages of food and fuel, while businesses were plundered and burned.

Only after the mobilization of 25,000 soldiers to aid local law enforcement did the security situation begin to stabilize.

Protests initially broke out over the imprisonment of ex-president Jacob Zuma, who hails from KwaZulu-Natal. He was given 15 months in prison for contempt of court in relation to a corruption inquiry.

But the demonstrations soon descended into arson and gunfire, with vigilante groups forming to protect property.

Solano setter heading to Simpson Paul Farmer pfarmer@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — It took two extra years – one of them wiped out by Covid-19 – but persistence paid off for Kayla Somontan.

She’s finally headed to play volleyball for Simpson University.

The 5-foot-2 setter wanted to play for the Redding school after graduating from Vacaville High, but the Red Hawks weren’t interested enough at that point.

After a successful detour to Solano Community College – she was an All-Bay Valley Conference first team section in 2019 after helping the Falcons go 14-0 in

BVC play – and a 2020 season lost to the pandemic – Somontan gave it another try.

“When I first was trying to get recruited out of high school, Simpson was a school I reached out to and they were in the mix of schools I was picking to go to,” Somontan said. “I landed at Solano instead, so after I was done at Solano I decided to reach out again and things started to fall into place. I wanted to commit to Simpson because I wanted to go to a private school and be close to home. In volleyball, I usually am a setter but wanted to become a defensive specialist or play back row in college and Simpson offered me to play both.”

Falcons coach Darla Williams joked

in an email that “hopefully this is the last player that I (lose). I need the rest for my 2021 season.”

And Williams is losing a good one.

Somontan led the team with 316 assists in BVC play, averaging 8.1 per set, adding 64 digs while serving 155 times with 23 aces.

“She ran our offense and made all the decisions as to who to set, who was having a good game and who would put the ball away for us,” Williams said. “As a setter she was also one of our top servers and defensive players.”

Robert Hight begins a Funny Car eliminations run during the NHRA Sonoma Nationals at Sonoma Raceway in 2019.

Hight went on the win the Funny Car title that year, the last time the NHRA was in Sonoma.

Sonoma drag strip roars to life with NHRA’s return to track Sonoma Raceway SONOMA — Two years ago, Clay Millican was less than three feet away from picking up his first victory at Sonoma Raceway.

The popular Top Fuel driver lost in the final round in agonizing fashion in 2019 and, two years later, Millican will look to finish the job as the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series returns to Sonoma Raceway for this weekend’s NHRA Sonoma Nationals.

It’s the second race of the NHRA’s three-race Western Swing and Millican brings plenty of momentum in his 11,000-horsepower Parts Plus dragster after starting the trek with a semifinal showing in Denver. He’s excited to welcome back a Sonoma crowd clamoring for its first 330-mph nitro action since the 2019 campaign due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and Millican is hopeful to be celebrating with the fans in the winner’s circle by the

end of the weekend.

“Sonoma has such an awesome, unique layout and as a racing fan, I just love it,” Millican said. “It’s a spectacular facility and it’s just a cool place. We’ve run well there and it’s a fun place to race, so hopefully we can continue to perform well. For drag racing to get back to California, it’s very exciting.

It’s probably going to be standing-room only in Sonoma. The crowd in Denver was just absolutely incredible and I really loved it, and I think Sonoma is going to be the same way.”

Billy Torrence (Top Fuel), Robert Hight (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were the 2019 winners. This year’s event will be televised on FOX, including live final eliminations coverage starting at 1 p.m. on Sunday. It is the ninth race of the 2021 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season and the middle race in the rigorous Western Swing, but

Millican likes what he sees out of his team in recent races.

He believes his team is on track to challenge for victories, but it won’t be easy when there’s a Torrence involved. In this case, it’s dealing with three-time defending world champ Steve Torrence, who has won four of the past five races this year to hold a commanding points lead, including last weekend in Denver. Millican will also have to deal with the likes of Antron Brown, track record-holder Leah Pruett, Brittany Force, Shawn Langdon, Doug Kalitta and Justin Ashley, but the veteran likes the direction his team is trending.

“It’s just one of those things where (crew chief) Mike (Kloeber) is finding the sweet spot on what the car likes,” Millican said. “He’s really getting a good handle on it and we’re not hurting the car. You can do really, really good things when you’re not hurting things.

One thing won’t change in these Olympics: A big U.S. medal haul Tribune Content Agency TOKYO — Reminders that these Summer Games aren't normal come in the form of the plastic dividers that separate each athlete at tables in the Olympic village dining hall. The narrow vials that participants, officials, media and other credential holders must regularly fill with saliva to test for the coronavirus. The everpresent temperature checks. The stands that won't have spectators in the vast majority of 42 competition venues.

Though the still-surging Covid-19 pandemic has transformed the 17-day event into as much of a public health challenge as an athletic extravaganza, one thing should remain the same amid the unpredictability as the Games open Friday.

On TV “Opening Ceremonies” 3:55 a.m., Live; 4:30 p.m., Replay KCRA – Channel 3

The U.S. is projected to win more medals than any other country for the seventh consecutive Olympics.

The team includes household names such as Simone Biles, Allyson Felix, Katie Ledecky and Megan Rapinoe in addition to a slew of athletes such as Caeleb Dressel, Sydney McLaughlin and Nyjah Huston who are primed to join them as faces of the most unusual Games in modern history.

Gracenote, a sports analysis and data company that estimates

medal counts, noted this week that there is the "potential for the Tokyo Summer Games to be more unpredictable than normal." The company uses a formula based on recent competitions, so the pandemic has thrown many of its calculations into chaos because of halted competitions, irregular training routines, limited travel and sick athletes.

The company predicts the U.S. will win 96 medals, including 40 golds. That's down from the 121 it had at the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016. The medals would come in 27 of the 33 sports. Russia, China, Japan and Britain round out the top five, though none is expected to approach the U.S. total.

OAKLAND — Matt Olson hit an arcing home run and an RBI single, but his most telling moment against the Angels on Tuesday arguably occurred when he wasn't allowed to swing the bat.

In the sixth inning of a 6-0 A's win, Olson came up with men on second and third and one out. He did not see a pitch from left-hander José Suárez. The Angels called for an intentional walk. Olson jogged to first base.

It was strategic in a one-run game, setting up a force-out at all bases. A Jed Lowrie sacrifice fly and Ramón Laureano double negated the ploy. But it was also novel. Olson, the left-handed-hitting first baseman, has drawn 17 intentional walks in the majors.

This, per baseball-reference.com, was the first issued to him by a lefthanded pitcher.

One element

of Olson's resurgent season has been improvement stark against left-handers.

Before this year, Olson owned a career .229/.308/.417 slash line against left-handers. In 2020, lefties held him to a .208 batting average and .696 OPS. This season, Olson owns a .302 average against lefties, better than his .284 mark against righties. He is slashing .302/.377/.659 against left-handers. He owns more home runs against lefties (13) than righthanders (12) in about 70 fewer at-bats.

Through Tuesday, Olson's 1.036 OPS against left-handers ranked eighth in the majors among all qualified hitters. Only one left-handed hitter, the Dodgers' Max Muncy at 1.113, was better.

49ers’ GM Lynch: Warner brings leadership, energy Tribune Content Agency SANTA CLARA — Fred Warner's five-year contract extension became official Thursday, and 49ers general manager John Lynch ushered it in with a notso-subtle message.

“Now it’s time to go to work,” Lynch said to cap a statement announcing Warner's five-year deal.

After Warner's threeyear ascent to All-Pro status, he reports Tuesday for his fourth training camp, and with as much as $95 million coming his way with his new deal.

“We’re extremely excited to have completed a long-term contract extension with Fred prior to the start of training camp,” Lynch's statement read. “Fred brings the type of leadership and energy every day that our defense and team feeds off.

“He earned this extension through hard

work, discipline, and the professional way he goes about his business. We look forward to watching him continue to play at an elite level for us well into the future.”

The 49ers open their season Sept. 12 at Detroit.

Warner, who’s yet to speak with the media since agreeing to his new deal, expressed gratitude to those who've helped in his path, including going from Mission Hills High in his native San Marcos to BYU to the 49ers as a 2018 thirdround draft pick.

“Wow,” Warner tweeted Thursday morning.

Chicago Sky center Stefanie Dolson (31) makes a three-point shot during the third period against the Indiana Fever, June 9, in Chicago. Dolson will be playing 3x3 basketball at the Olympics with Team USA. 10 games in five days in Tokyo, starting with their opener against France in pool play Saturday. That frantic journey toward a medal – the United States’ only shot at one in the event since the men’s team didn’t qualify for the Olympics – is going to take all four players to be ready at all times.

Because a bad 10 minutes can doom their chances.

Nonstop focus First things first: Here’s how the U.S. team described the 3x3 game, which the International Olympic Committee added to the Olympic program in 2017: Fast-paced, physical and unpredictable.

“Anything can happen in 10 minutes,” Lawson said. “You think about the number of times a team that is the heavy favorite in 5-on-5 is down at the end of the first quarter. People aren’t really alarmed at that. You say, ‘Oh, they have three quarters. They’ll figure it out.’ … You don’t have time to turn it around in 3-on-3. You’re down at the end of the first quarter, you’re out of the tournament.”

The 3x3 game is played on a half court with a 12-second shot clock.

Games are one 10-minute period or the first team to 21 points. An overtime period is decided by the first team to two points. Baskets made

inside the arc and free throws are worth one point, and shots made outside the arc are worth two.

Play is continuous but for dead balls, free throws, one 30-second timeout for each team and TV timeouts. After a basket, rebound or steal, a player must dribble or pass outside the arc to begin the team’s possession. Play resumes after a dead ball with a check ball. Teams get six fouls before a bonus, and individual fouls are not added up unless they’re for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Teams are made up of four players, with substitutions usually occurring with dead balls.

“Being able to last three minutes straight of nonstop is the most important thing,” Dolson said. “If you can’t function when you’re tired, then you’re not going to be able to make it.”

That’s where Dolson’s improved fitness comes into play after a 2020 Sky season in which she played in 15 of 22 games. She averaged 6.4 points in 18.2 minutes per game, the lowest since her rookie season in 2014. Dolson, who battled Covid-19 in the spring of 2020, said the weight she gained during quarantine likely contributed to a foot injury that limited her.

The weight loss has helped her with the Sky — she’s averaging 7.9 points per game.

Games. Kara Eaker, an alternate gymnast for the U.S., tested positive during training in Japan and is isolated.

Some countries have tempered expectations for their performances because of the rampant uncertainty, both in the months of preparation and the looming possibility that a positive test could end an athlete's medal hopes. Britain settled for a wide range of medal goals instead of a specific target, while Australia dropped the number altogether after Rio. During a news conference last month, Japanese Olympic Committee President Yasuhiro Yamashita appeared to back off the group's goal of winning 30 golds.

“The preconditions have changed

dramatically for the Japanese athletes,” Yamashita said. “This was not an event where adequate proportions were possible.”

Mitsugi Ogata, another official with Japan's committee, said this week that the 30-medal goal "may not have the same relevance of significance" as before the pandemic.

But lofty expectations remain for the U.S. team, which includes more than 50 gold medalists. Michael Phelps – the most decorated Olympian of all time, who retired after winning five golds in Rio – may be an NBC commentator now instead of a medal favorite. However, the U.S. still has plenty of attentiongrabbing talent in all factions of these Olympic Games.

Olympic 3x3 hoops making its debut CHICAGO — When Stefanie Dolson considered what it will be like to be a member of the U.S. team in the first 3x3 basketball Olympic competition, she eventually expressed her excitement.

But first the Chicago Sky center acknowledged the expectation.

“That just adds more pressure, honestly,” Dolson said. “I just hope we can perform well and get the gold, because anything else. . .”

Anything else is not what’s expected of a USA Basketball team – even in an event in its early stages.

Dolson, however, is in a good place mentally and physically to help lead the U.S. team with Dallas Wings guard Allisha Gray and guards Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young of the Las Vegas Aces.

Seattle Storm guard/forward Katie Lou Samuelson made the team, but tested positive for Covid-19 on July 19 and was replaced by Young.

Her offseason work helped her make a confidence-building turnaround from a disappointing 2020 season in the WNBA bubble, so much so that U.S. women’s 3x3 coach Kara Lawson said Dolson’s improvement has changed their team.

“It’s changed how much of a weapon she is for us out on the court,” Lawson said in a video conference call last week before the team opened training camp in Las Vegas. “She’s obviously 6-5 and is a dominant presence, but she moves much better. She can guard guards in 3x3 for us. She didn’t have that ability a year ago. She has much better endurance, so she has more in the tank at the end of games and at the end of tournaments.”

Lawson said the goal is to play

longer period of time."

Hitting coach Darren Bush agreed Olson's numbers against lefties are one result of adjustments keying overall improvement. An offseason focus for Olson, who had a career-worst average and strikeout rate in the short 2020 season, was staying balanced and not bringing his body forward before his hands in his swing.

“He's been able to control keeping back – he's been able to do a really good job of control-

ling that throughout the season,” Bush said.

Olson hit home runs in each of the two games against the Angels.

Both were against lefties on non-fastballs. Olson pulled an inside changeup from Alex Claudio an estimated 392 feet into the right-field seats Monday.

Suárez struck out Olson on a full-count curveball in his first at-bat Tuesday.

In his second, Olson worked another full count and Suarez again tried a curveball. This time, Olson pulled it in the air

deep enough toward the right-field corner for a 356-foot homer.

“When he's staying back like that, he's able to get his hands out front and let his lower half work to elevate the ball to the pull side,” Bush said. “When you don't stay back, you block your lower half and then your tendency is to hit the ball on the ground more to your pull side.

They kind of work hand in hand. When you're staying back, you're able to clear your lower half and get your hands out front.”

3 growing crises could affect Newsom recall

I

n many ways, the campaign to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom is evolving just as Newsom hoped it would.

The polls indicate that recall sentiment is running well behind what would be needed to oust him from office. He enjoys solid support from his own Democratic Party, even though he won’t be listed as a Democrat on the Sept. 14 ballot, thanks to an error by his campaign.

Newsom and the Legislature advanced the date of the election to take advantage of his current popular support and give his opponents less time to make their case for the recall.

Moneyed interests and wealthy supporters have given Newsom Dan Walters a hefty campaign treasury, more than $30 million so far, that far outstrips what the pro-recall campaign has mustered.

Finally, the list of would-be successors has only a few dozen names, none a prominent Democrat and none with the public standing or the fundraising ability to mount a full-fledged campaign. The state’s disjointed and muchdiminished Republican Party cannot coalesce around a single candidate, and the political media, particularly those from elsewhere, seem mesmerized by the mock candidacy of former athlete and reality television figure Caitlyn Jenner.

All of that notwithstanding, current events – drought, wildfires and a flareup of Covid-19, particularly – are a political minefield for the governor.

Newsom wants to continue bopping around the state, under the guise of official business, proclaiming that California is “roaring back” from the pandemic and the sharp recession that resulted from his shutdown orders, and touting the new state budget’s generous benefits, including cash payouts, that voters will be receiving.

Newson eagerly took center stage after the pandemic exploded in early 2020, issuing executive orders to take solo command of the crisis, and making frequent and lengthy webcasts to explain what he was doing to combat the dread coronavirus.

With the recall election now just weeks away, however, Newsom is clearly shying away from assuming public command of the newest crises.

For example, when Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry Brown, faced a lesser drought in 2015, he ordered a mandatory 25% cut in water usage, but Newsom has issued only a tepid call for a voluntary 15% reduction, clearly unwilling to take the political heat for telling Californians they can’t water their lawns as often as they’d like.

When the highly infectious delta variant of coronavirus began pushing up numbers of new cases, several counties, including Los Angeles, reinstated orders to wear masks in indoor settings. However, when Newsom was asked this week whether a statewide order was looming, he responded with words that amounted to ducking the issue. Moreover, in sharp contrast to his high-profile command of the pandemic in 2020, he’s content to let state health officials do the talking this time.

When a news organization revealed that Newsom’s administration had accomplished only a small fraction of promised fuel reduction in fire-prone areas, it led some legislators to complain that Newsom’s proposed state budget was deficient in fire protection. He quickly filled the hole with some extra money, just as fires began erupting throughout the state.

All three crises – drought, fire and Covid-19 – seem destined to become more acute in the coming weeks and while Newsom may prefer to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative, to paraphrase the old song, he opens himself up to valid criticism if he sidesteps them for political purposes.

Moreover, if Covid-19 cases continue to climb, the question of reopening schools will once again arise and Newsom will be on the spot just as California voters begin marking their recall ballots.

You should constantly communicate with them, their dating partner and their parents about what your guidelines are with the relationship as far as your child is concerned. But be prepared for an emotional battle of resistance.

During the presidential campaign of last November, Joe Biden billed himself as a moderate. He would return to the center, away from the supposed extreme right-wing policies of then-President Trump.

Gordy named as Kennedy Center Honor recipient

Robin Terry cheers on her Uncle Berry Gordy as he blows out the candles at his 80th birthday celebration.

Tribune Content Agency Motown founder Berry Gordy has been named a Kennedy Center honoree, one of five figures to be celebrated in December for exceptional achievement in arts and culture.

The 2021 class – the Washington, D.C., institution’s 44th – includes opera singer Justino Diaz, “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels, singer-actress Bette Midler and singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, who spent formative years in Detroit in the mid-1960s.

“My first reaction was joy, then disbelief and then: ‘Did I hear that right?’ ” Gordy told the Detroit Free Press about receiving the news. “It was so exciting to me overall. I had all these emotions at one time, and I realized how much it meant to me.”

Gordy, the Detroit native who built his homemade music operation into one of history’s most successful and influential independent record companies, has been honored by the Grammys, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received the National Medal of Arts.

But the Kennedy Center is a special distinction, Gordy said.

“President Kennedy was one of my favorite heroes, so to be honored in his name means the world to me,” Gordy said.

“I’m extremely happy to join the past and present honorees and become part of this American legacy.”

In a prepared statement, Kennedy Center chairman David Rubenstein lauded Gordy as a visionary figure who “brought the quintessential soulfulness of Detroit into every home in America, elevating the Motown sound to become a national treasure.”

Gordy, 91, will join Motown’s Stevie Wonder (1999), Smokey Robinson (2006) and Diana Ross (2007) on the Kennedy Center roll call. Late Detroiter Aretha Franklin was honored in 1994.

Gordy will be in the famed

Daily Cryptoquotes

Kennedy Center box seats Dec. 5 for the gala celebration, which traditionally has been attended by the sitting U.S. president. The event will be taped for a two-hour primetime special to air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.

“After the challenges and heartbreak of the last many months, and as we celebrate 50 years of the Kennedy Center, I dare add that we are prepared to throw ‘the party to end all parties’ in D.C. on December 5th, feting these extraordinary people and welcoming audiences back to our campus,” Kennedy Center president Deborah Rutter said in statement.

Kennedy Center Honors week typically includes several VIP gatherings, including a White House reception and State Department dinner.

The gala also features tributes by surprise performers, their names kept secret from the honorees until the event.

Gordy said that whatever might be in store for him, “I have a feeling this is going to work out beautifully.”

In its Wednesday announcement, the Kennedy Center cited Gordy’s varied accomplishments – songwriter, producer, director, entrepreneur – and his transformation of popular music as Motown transcended racial and social barriers.

It also noted the array of stars shepherded under his watch, including Robinson, Ross, Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and the Temptations.

Speaking with the Free Press, Gordy was quick to pay tribute to that Motown family, including the folks whose names didn’t hit the marquees.

“By honoring me, I feel it also recognizes the unsung heroes of Motown,” he said.

“They worked and laughed and cried and died to make my dream and the Motown legacy a reality. So I can never forget them – ever, ever, ever.”

He also had a shout-out for

the city that made him.

“I’m just very grateful to Detroit, which had more major influence on me than anything I can think of. The atmosphere, the downhome feelings,” Gordy said. “I’m a Detroiter – I’m a competitor.

I taught my company to have that competitive spirit that breeds champions, because when I think of Detroit, I think of champions. And I took those things with me when I was building everything I built.”

At 91, Gordy said he still swells with “an inner feeling of pride and gratefulness” when he encounters Motown music in public. More than anything, he’s proud to have helped create something universal.

“I think people from Detroit have an edge. But deep down, all people are similar around the world,” he said. “That’s why our music was so successful in Germany, France, Sweden, around the world. Because we really are more alike than we are different. I find that very significant.”

Gordy, based in Los Angeles since the early ’70s, had remained active and creative in recent years, including his hit Broadway show, “Motown: The Musical,” and a 2019 Motown documentary tied to the label’s 60th anniversary.

In September 2019, he was on hand as Detroit’s Motown Museum broke ground on its $50 million expansion. That night at Orchestra Hall, he capped the hometown Motown 60 weekend by announcing his retirement.

Still, Motown and his life’s work are never far from his mind, and Gordy said he hopes to be a model for those following their passions and reaching their dreams.

“Those things stay with me even today. The things I learned in building Motown, I’m still teaching people,” Gordy said.

“And it all begins with truth, with being who you are – all that stuff I learned being in Detroit.”

more mistakes are made at the first trick than at any other single trick.

With that unsubtle hint, you should find today’s deal easy. How would you plan the play in four spades after West leads the club king?

I never know when it is better to raise to three no-trump with a hand like South’s. If the major were a minor, it would be automatic to rebid three notrump. But with that good a major, you worry about looking silly if the opponents run the hearts or clubs when you had 10 tricks in spades. Here, though, three no-trump cruises home, and four spades needs careful handling.

This week, the popular game show continues moving through a revolving door of guest hosts and it’s finally go time for LeVar Burton, who has actively campaigned to become Alex Trebek’s permanent replacement. A groundswell of fan support helped Burton win one of the exclusive guest-hosting slots. Now, it’s up to him to prove he belongs. (No pressure, though!). After Burton, the 37th season of “Jeopardy!” winds down with David Faber and Joe Buck taking turns at the podium. A decision on a permanent host is expected soon thereafter.

‘Upzoning’ in my backyard?

California bill won’t turbocharge home building, study says Tribune Content Agency A bill advancing through the California Legislature to allow for denser home building in single-family zones would be likely to produce an uptick in the state’s housing supply, but the so-called upzoning probably won’t cause redevelopment, mass according to a report published Wednesday.

The study by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley offers the most detailed analysis yet of the potential effect of Senate Bill 9, designed to allow up to four homes on most single-family lots and spur the construction of badly needed new housing.

Because of the way unit development would pencil out, the study found that “the vast amount of single-family parcels across the state would not see any new development,” said David Garcia, policy director at the Terner Center, which supports the bill written by Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins (D-San Diego).

SB 9 passed the state Senate and is expected to be taken up in the Assembly Appropriations Committee by Aug. 27. If approved, it would go to a final vote in the Assembly and then to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk.

The Terner Center study found that, under the bill, a total of 714,000 new homes would make financial sense to build, and it would take years to build them – if they ever are, since not all homeowners would want to sell or develop their own property.

It would make financial sense for property owners to add those homes on 5.4% of the state’s 7.5 million single-family lots – or 410,000 parcels now zoned for only one traditional, single-family house. In L.A. County, a slightly higher proportion of single-family lots, 6.7% of the total there, would make sense to add units on. Garcia called the bill “a modest reform.”

“It will make a modest but important impact [on supply] over time,” he said.

The Terner Center, whose research focuses on how to increase housing supply, reached its esti-

mates by examining construction costs, land values, parcel size, market rents and home prices, as well as other factors. It analyzed several potential scenarios, including converting an existing house into a duplex, keeping the house as is and putting a unit or two in the backyard, or demolishing the house and building up to four new homes.

The report’s findings add to the long-running debate about the merits of allowing more density on the traditionally prized single-family lot, an emblem of the California homeownership dream.

Proponents say SB 9 would add needed supply to ease a housing shortage – decades-long in the making – that has driven up California home prices and rents, but do so in a gentle way that’s largely compatible with each neighborhood‘s character.

They also argue many of the units are likely to be smaller than the existing house and, accordingly, more affordable, bringing online more attainable options in areas near jobs and good schools.

But the bill has drawn strong opposition from many cities and singlefamily homeowner groups across the state, which say they fear it would destroy quiet neighborhoods with large, out-of-scale projects. And they say it would do so while not providing housing to those most in need and, in some cases, would accelerate gentrification.

The arguments are similar to those that killed high-profile bills to erode single-family zoning in recent years, including the controversial SB 50, which would have allowed fourplexes in most single-family zones and, in some cases, larger apartment buildings in those neighborhoods.

California’s housing shortage is between 820,000 and 3.5 million – a huge gap that the Terner Center said is unlikely to be filled by SB 9 alone.

Garcia still characterized the bill as helpful, even though it doesn’t mandate that new units be restricted to some level of affordability. That’s partly because a wide body of research shows that See Study, Page B11

Black workers surpass white workers

Janelle Jones, chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor, stressed that the economy is still in a transitory phase.

in labor market participation for second time in history

Tribune Content Agency The June jobs report brought good news and bad news.

Employers added 850,000 jobs – a sign of progress amid increasing vaccinations and fewer Covid-19 restrictions.

On the other hand, the overall labor force participation rate, which tracks the proportion of people 16 and older working or looking for jobs, remained unchanged from 61.6% in May – and down from 63.3% since before the pandemic. In other words, workers are taking their time returning to the labor market.

But the statistics for Black workers may tell a different story.

For the first time since 1972, the labor force participation rate for Black workers (61.6%) exceeded that of white workers (61.3%). While economists view the change as more than an anomaly, they caution against declaring a new reality for Black workers, who historically have been at an economic disadvantage.

‘We need help, too.

We need a break, too.’ Mothers, people of color face unseen challenges Janelle Jones, chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor, stressed that the economy is still in a transitory phase.

“All of the data has been particularly volatile,” said Jones, a Lorain, Ohio, native who is the first Black woman to hold the position at the department. “Even the measures that we usually use for predictive behavior are just gone out the window, and we’re still trying to figure it out.

It’s exciting to see the labor force participation

rate increase (for Black workers), but we don’t want to say this is the new normal.”

“We’ve seen workers who have been out of work for maybe a year say, ‘Maybe I don’t want to work for $2.13 (minimum cash wage) plus tips and have to get coughed on and never get any paid leave and never have any sick time,’” Jones said. “I think that’s phe-

Massive internet outage affects major US websites Tribune Content Agency The websites of several major U.S. companies were temporarily down for many users Thursday in a widespread internet outage.

The list of companies affected by the outage included Airbnb, Delta Air Lines, Groupon and Salesforce. Delta acknowledged

having “a technology issue” that was “impacting many global websites.”

Users also reported issues with more than 30 other major sites, according to Downdetector, which tracks internet outages. The Daily News’ website was also affected, as were several Tribune Publishing websites, Bank of America, FedEx,

HBO Max, McDonald’s, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines and UPS. Massachusetts-based Akamai, which offers content distribution and cloud services, appeared to be the source for some or most of those outages. The company said in a tweet around 12:30 p.m. that it was experiencing a “service

disruption” and was investigating the issue.

“We have implemented a fix for this issue, and based on current observations, the service is resuming normal operations,” Akamai tweeted minutes later. “We will continue to monitor to ensure that the impact has been fully mitigated.”

Amazon Web Services,

another major cloud computing platform, told users on Twitter that the issues were not on their end.

The web disruptions came shortly after several towns across the country experienced an issue with their 911 emergency system.

In Virginia, the Rockbridge County Sheriff’s office said the outage that

began around 10 a.m. has already

been

resolved.

In Greyson County, also in Virginia, officials said utility workers were in the process of repairing a cut fiber line to restore service in the area, according to local news station WSET.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

that nut yet about what it is,” Logan said. “I think this is a time for getting some qualitative information and asking people what’s happening. We know rates of post-secondary enrollment are going up, and yet we don’t see the (overall) labor force participation rate going up.”

As far as Black workers’ increased labor force participation rate, Logan said he’d like to see more research done across labor markets in the U.S. “Some localities already had relatively high wages for essential employees,” he said.

“Do we see faster growth in the areas where the wages have increased, on average, faster for essential employees? Do we see the labor force participation rate increasing faster there?”

Preliminary data shows that the overall labor force participation rate in Ohio was 60.2% in June, indicating an increase from 59.9% in May. However, the data isn’t broken out by demographic or by city.

“We don’t sample enough people to be able to do it by state,” Logan said. “And I can tell you that the Columbus labor market is probably very different than the Cincinnati labor market, the Cleveland labor market and the Youngstown labor market. So, you’d want to break it down at a much finer level.”

Logan said it’s important to keep an eye on the data over time to have a better sense of the outlook for Black workers.

“This is not an immediate revival of the American labor market and economy,” he said.

“Economies do not run like a light switch.”

adding to housing supply, even at market rates, helps moderate housing costs regionally, he said.

Livable California, a statewide group advocating to preserve single-family zoning, has called SB 9 a “bulldozer bill” that’s “the beginning of the end of homeownership in California.”

In an opposition letter, the organization said upzoning single-family lots would raise the land value of those homes and make it harder for firsttime buyers to get their foothold into the American dream as they are forced to compete with deep-pocketed investors looking to build more units.

The group argued developers are likely to target Black and Latino communities in areas where land is cheaper, and demolish houses to build high-cost rentals that would limit the ability of people of color to build wealth.

“I see very expensive . . . rental units coming from this bill,” said Isaiah Madison, a board member with Livable California who lives in South L.A., adding that the homes won’t be affordable to large swaths of the existing community.

“If this is happening in affluent communities, the

affordability isn’t going to be as far off.”

The group also says language in the bill would allow property owners to build six units on what is today a single-family parcel, because they could doubledip between SB 9 and the accessory dwelling unit law, which already allows for a backyard home and a third small unit to be built. Atkins’ office said such a scenario is not possible and the senator has repeatedly said four units is the maximum allowable.

The Terner Center used the four-unit maximum in its analysis and did not break down the potential effect in individual neighborhoods, meaning some areas could see more intense development than the state or county as a whole.

Garcia said the center’s analysis suggests opponents’ fears are unfounded for several reasons.

Significantly, the bill doesn’t outlaw singlefamily houses, nor does it mandate development. It would only make possible multiunit construction on certain lots that isn’t possible under current law.

Garcia said land and construction costs are so high that it’s difficult to make money on many of the lots, and thus fewer homeowners and developers are likely to try to build.

How SB 9 is written also limits its potential

to spur significant new housing construction.

Under the bill, cities must approve up to two units on a lot currently zoned for one single-family house if a property

A lot split also makes it easier for homeowners to finance ADU construction, the Terner Center said.

That has been a hurdle for lowerincome owners.

Cities are also allowed to mandate that someone applying for a lot split live — Isaiah Madison, a board member with Livable California in one of the units, which the Terner Center estimated owner asks to do so.

Somontan topped the Falcons with 704 assists while contributing 154 digs, 368 serves and 41 aces, even delivering 35 kills with a .418 hitting percentage as a setter.

“She was very sneaky and smart with her decisions to dump over the net and be an additional offensive weapon for us,” Williams said. “It is so nice to have such a defensive setter on the court, she reads the hitters very well and (is) quick to anticipate attacks and dumps from our opponents.”

“I think the best thing I do on the court is provide good support to my teammates with high energy and also calmness,” Somontan said. “I learned a lot about mental toughness and how important it is on and off the court. I believe I have excelled in that aspect in my volleyball career, being positive and uplifting to my teammates is crucial as volleyball is a mental sport and much as it is physical.”

As with any sport, a lot of what’s “mental” about volleyball, especially for those who have aspirations about playing after high school, revolves around recruiting.

Somontan, who plans to major in biology and looks to become a dental hygienist, has gone through it twice.

“Being in the recruiting process is a tough process especially going through it twice in my junior/senior year of high school and now sophomore year

on and off the court, sometimes in unexpected ways – and preparing her for moving on to a four-year school.

“I believe Solano helped me with the transition from the high school level of play to college level of play and responsibilities,” Somontan said. “Solano and Coach Darla gave me an opportunity to better my playing capabilities.

Honestly, Solano was not my first choice out of high school as I was eager to commit to any school that wanted me. Solano didn’t only teach my physical properties of volleyball but it also humbled me and truly taught me a lot of the mental game behind volleyball and the importance of being mentally tough.”

“Kayla will be sorely missed, she has earned the next step and next phase in her life,” Williams said. “We wish her nothing but the best at Simpson University.”

While she’s put in two years at Solano academically, Somontan will be a sophomore in terms of athletic eligibility at Simpson.

Older sister Allora Somontan, another former Bulldog and Falcon, is an outside hitter with the University of Maine-Fort Kent, which is just 3,069 miles farther from Solano than Simpson as the car drives.

When asked if her sister was still looking to play with the Bengals, Somontan said, “She is heading up to Maine this August to continue her volleyball season – with lots of traveling!”

of college,” Somontan said. “The recruiting process was tedious so I was happy and relieved that I found a school that offered me to continue to play volleyball and had my major that I wanted to be in.”

Among the other schools she’d contacted were San Diego Christian, Cal State East Bay and Providence Christian College.

With Covid protocols loosening, she was able to make a trip to Simpson in the spring.

“I had a visit at the late end of May to go see the school, meet Coach Mike Haworth, and meet some of the girls from the team,” she said.

An added twist in the recruiting process was losing the 2020 season, which was canceled because of the pandemic. Somontan had hoped to build off her solid 2019 season, but she still wound up landing where she wanted to.

“It was extremely hard for me not to be playing last fall as it was for most,” Somontan said. “Many athletes and other students went through the same exact situation so there were definitely people to connect with who shared the same experiences and feelings towards not being able to be where we normally are. It also truly tested my motivation, with not having a set schedule with things to do or reassurance of what was coming next.

I had to learn to trust and love the process of what was next for volleyball in my life.”

Somontan credits Solano and Williams with helping her grow –
