JAN. 6 HEARING

Officer: ‘I could have lost my life that day . . . many times’ Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Four Capitol and Metropolitan Police Department officers on Tuesday recounted their experience fighting off the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol during the first hearing of a new House committee investigating the attack. “I recall thinking to myself, this is how I’m going to die, defending this entrance,” Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell said. “I could have lost my life that day, not once, but many times.”

Dressed in uniforms, the officers struggled at times to deliver the emotional testimony and graphic descriptions. At one point during a video presentation, Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone placed his hand on Gonell’s shoulder and whispered in his ear. Others dabbed their eyes with tissues, cleared their throats repeatedly and paused to drink water throughout their testimony. Gonell said he was more scared on

CDC urges using masks indoors, including schools Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Tuesday that some people vaccinated against Covid-19 resume wearing face masks indoors as new data indicates fully vaccinated individuals can spread the dangerous delta variant. The rising threat of infection led the agency to say that individuals in areas of “high” or “substantial” transmission of Covid-19 should wear masks indoors, whether or not they are vaccinated. All students, staff and visitors to K-12 schools should wear a mask when students

FAIRFIELD — Various pollination services in 2020 cracked the top 10 most valuable agricultural commodities for the first time in Solano County. Pollination had a gross production value of nearly $5.11 million, a 59% increase over 2019, Ed King, the county agriculture commissioner, reported Tuesday to the Board of Supervisors. Overall, however, the 2020 Crop and Livestock Report showed a total agriculture value of $357.16 million, nearly $15 million less than the prior year and the lowest in three years. This was the 71st annual report, dating back to 1949. The 4.02% decrease was blamed on the LNU Lightning Complex Fire, drought and the Covid-19 pandemic, which King said devastated processing plants, restaurants, stores and other related outlets the farmers and ranchers depend on each year.

He phoned me from But help had been there for me school one day to say a school when I needed it. I knew the difcounselor had told him about ference it could make. So I said a 15-year-old student who was the magic word: “Yes.” living on the street working as a And that is how Kelly came prostitute. into our lives. She was smart, “Her folks kicked her out,” funny and remarkably clever at my husband said. “She wants appearing to follow rules, while to make some changes.

What do you say?” to school every day on time. If I looked over at my she planned to miss dinner, she

needed to call to explain why. My husband and I met her mother and father. They were late-in-life parents who loved their daughter, but found her behavior unbearable. We hoped to work together for her best. Soon after she moved in with us, they began inviting her home for dinner. Kelly would call after school to see what each of us was cooking. Then she’d pick what sounded better, her mother’s cooking or mine. Her mother usually won. After dinner, her dad would drop her at our place. She seemed close to moving back.. One evening, while Kelly had dinner with her folks, and my husband was at basketball practice, I picked my baby up off the floor, pulled a tuft of dog hair out of his mouth, and answered a knock at the door. And there stood someone I’d not met, but knew well from my talks with Kelly: A nice-looking,

well-dressed, soft-spoken man, who had taken her in and turned her out as a prostitute. “Hello, ma’am,” he said, smiling. “May I speak to Kelly?” “She isn’t here,” I said, holding my baby a little tighter. He nodded. “That’s a mighty cute boy you got there. Mind if I have a word with you?” I grew up in the South, where if a stranger comes to your door, you invite him in for iced tea. I offered him a seat on the sofa but somehow forgot the tea. He didn’t stay long. He just said he wanted us to know he cared about Kelly and that he was grateful to us for our help. Then he shook my hand, patted my baby’s head, and left. A week later, Kelly went back to live with her parents. They were planning to move away and she wanted to go with them. I never heard from her again. Years later I saw her name in a list of college graduates. Was it

the same Kelly? I hope so. I don’t know what our time together meant to her. It was far from perfect. I wish I’d been kinder, wiser, more loving – or at least a better cook. But Kelly didn’t need me to be perfect. She just needed me to say “yes.” When we open our heart to someone in need, God uses our imperfections in perfect ways. I think of Kelly sometimes and pray for her best. I like to think she’s doing the same for me. She needed a safe place to stay a while. And I needed to know what she taught me: We don’t have to be perfect to say “yes.” Sharon Randall is the author of “The World and Then Some.” She can be reached at P.O.

Dallas-based soft drink Poppi starting to serve notice on soda market Tribune Content Agency DALLAS — Don’t call it sparkling water, sugary soda, or a “woo-woo wellness” tonic. Dallasbased Poppi, founded by husband-and-wife team Stephen and Allison Ellsworth, defies categorization on the grocery shelves the bubbly drink has been flying off of since March 2020. The crisp, lightly carbonated canned drinks are infused with apple cider vinegar, fruit juices, organic cane sugar and stevia, all blended into nostalgic soda-inspired flavors in fun, retro cans that still feel grown-up. Many of the flavors evoke already-popular drinks: Strawberry Lemon tastes like summery lemonade; Ginger Lime calls Sprite to mind; Orange has “Fanta vibes,” Allison says; and Grapefruit can easily replace your Fresca. Then there’s the newer Classics line of Root Beer, Classic Cola and Doc Pop, an ode to Dr Pepper. “I might have spent extra time [formulating the flavor] on that one,” Allison says of Doc Pop. “Being from Texas, that one was important.” Allison still creates all of the flavors herself, even though Poppi has grown from Dallas farmers markets to Target stores across the country. The Ellsworths first started marketing their concoctions in 2016 as Mother in glass beverages soda bottles. The Ellsworths both worked in the oil and gas industry but quit their jobs to pursue entrepreneurship and open a manufacturing facility in Dallas. “It was the full-on American dream

of, ‘Screw it, let’s go for it,’ ” Allison says. And they wanted to grow more. So in 2018, the couple pitched their product on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” where “beverage shark” Rohan Oza of Bai and Vita Coco fame chose to invest $400,000 in their company in exchange for a 25% share. “Oza didn’t have a lot of ‘Shark Tank’ brands already, so we got a lot of his time and focus,” Allison says. “He really hated our branding as Mother. And we couldn’t trademark it.” So they worked together to rebrand Mother as Poppi, a play on soda pop, with happy and fun graphic cans. They were scheduled to relaunch as Poppi in grocery stores in March 2020, right as the pandemic-related shutdowns began. “It was right as Covid hit,” Allison says. “But thankfully, people were looking for healthier products. Health was top of mind. We saw a lot of growth.” Now you can find Poppi at Target, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Publix, HEB, Kroger, Safeway and 7-Eleven. They sell tens of millions of cans a year and have added manufacturing facilities across the country. And while Poppi is a specialty drink, Allison says: “We see our biggest competition as Big Soda.” That may sound overly ambitious, but market trends point to growth in health-conscious beverages. The carbonated soft drinks market has been historically difficult to enter, as it’s dominated in the U.S. by large multinational players like The

Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo and Keurig Dr Pepper. But in recent years, sales for sugary sodas have been sluggish as consumers demand alternative beverages with higher nutritional value, less sugar and more mature flavors, according to reports from Grand View Research and Beverage Industry. That has made Lynda M. Gonzalez/Dallas Morning News/TNS room for more “better for Husband and wife team Stephen and Allison Ellsworth pose for a portrait at the Poppi you” beverages, like func- office in Dallas on July 1. Poppi is a Dallas-based probiotic drink company that started tional drinks from smaller out at local farmer’s markets and is now growing across the country. companies like Poppi. And health is still key to the brand, which is good for business strategy but also personal for Allison. When she started experimenting in 2016, she was suffering from health issues, like bloating and tiredness. She began regularly taking apple cider vinegar. “I was shocked at how it made me feel, but I literally could not do the taste,” she says. Apple cider vinegar, which is apple juice that has been fermented twice, has been used for thousands of years as a wellness tonic. It’s often touted as a weight loss aid, acid reflux remedy and promoter of gut health, according to the Cleveland Clinic, because it contains natural prebiotics, acetic acid and antioxidants. When Allison began experimenting with ACV, she mixed it with carbonated water and juices in her own kitchen, creating full-flavor sodas with far less sugar. Now she spends months working in a lab to create the newest flavors. (On “Shark Tank,” “Bethany Frankel yelled at me: ‘Get out of the kitchen!’ ” Allison says.)

Board directs staff to find funds to help pay garbage bills Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors’ annual regulatory run through delinquent garbage collection payments – resulting in property tax liens for the offending properties – added a new twist. The board directed its staff Tuesday to determine if there are any federal or state funds available to help those individuals who fell behind paying their garbage bills because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The issue was raised by Supervisor Erin Hannigan, who noted the efforts to help with rental and mortgage payments, as well as power and water bills.

But Supervisor Jim Spering said the staff needs to work with the collection agencies to identify those individuals who really need the help and will not just take advantage of another Covid-19 bailout. “I’m always concerned about throwing money at a problem that doesn’t exist,” Spering said. There were no comments during the public hearing. The areas of concern are the unincorporated areas of Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, Dixon, Elmira, Vallejo and Rio Vista. In addition to the liens for amounts owed, the board tacked on a $62 administrative charge.

FAIRFIELD — The number of individuals hospitalized with the Covid disease increased Monday to 45, with eight of those individuals in intensive care units. Still, the county Public Health Division is reporting that the increases are not nearly as bad as the situation was late last year or even last summer. “It (the delta strain) transmits more easily, but it does not create more illness,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, said in a phone interview.

Fairfield Host Lions Presents....

However, the most vulnerable remain older individuals, and especially that portion of the senior population that is not vaccinated. “Those in the ICU are generally older than the overall (positive) population and those hospitalized are older,” Matyas said. Of the 56 residents in ICU rooms Monday, eight are there for Covid, Matyas said. But the typical profile of the individual who is testing positive for the virus “is a 20-something

who is unconcerned with getting sick and is going to one party to the next,” Matyas said. Camping trips have emerged as a frequent activity where the spread of the disease is taking place, according to information gathered from those who are testing positive. The evidence does not suggest that the virus is coming into the country from individuals who are here illegally, though Matyas admits the immigration status of those tested is not questioned.

Matyas also noted that for the first time there are clusters of the illness showing up in the business sector, largely manufacturing plants where the workers are in close proximity to each other and not retail outlets or restaurants or bars. Solano County reported 289 new cases since Friday’s update, and when older reports are factored out, the three-day average is closer to 80 per day rather than over 96. See Covid, Page A4

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday adopted a resolution recognizing August as National Breastfeeding Month. This year’s theme is “Every Step of the Way.” Breast milk provides critical immunological components antibodies, including immune factors, enzymes and cells that protect infants from a wide variety of diseases and infections, including coronaviruses, the resolution states. Breast-feeding is a key element in the health and well-being of every child, giving them an equitable and optimal start in life, particularly among poor and vulnerable groups, the resolution adds. It was presented by Supervisor Monica Brown. The Solano County Breastfeeding Coalition has planned a Family Day at the Park on

Aug. 7 at Andrew’s Park in Vacaville. The staff report to the board also outlined county programs related to infant care and breast-feeding, including a Breastfeeding Peer Counseling program within the Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program, and efforts linked to the Black Infant Health Program. The counselors help mothers overcome the challenges of having a newborn and facilitate better breastfeeding outcomes, the staff report states. The Solano County Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Program in the 2020-21 fiscal year saw exclusive breast-feeding rates at two months postpartum that were significantly higher than for women enrolled in WIC who were not participating in the peer counseling program: 45% compared to 28%, respectively, the staff report states. It was also noted that babies of mothers who have been vaccinated

show strong antibody development against the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19. In other action, the board: n Approved $2,500 in contributions from the District general 2nd fund account to the Solano County Community College Foundation ($1,000), the Benicia School District ($750), the Vallejo City School District ($500) and the Fairfield-Suisun School District ($250). n Recognized Kim Maring, an office assistant with the Assessor-Recorder’s Office, upon her retirement after more than 22 years with Solano County. n Recognized Dale C.

VACAVILLE — The World Championship Giant Pumpkin WeighOff is returning to the Nut Tree this October, the original home of the event where it was established in 1921. The California Pumpkin Growers Club moved the annual competition to Elk Grove when the original Nut Tree ceased operations in 1996. It grew into a two-day event and featured more than 70,000 visitors, according

to a press release from Nut Tree Vacaville. But the weigh-off returns on the 100th anniversary of the original Nut Tree and will soon become the permanent grounds again. The all-day event is scheduled Oct. 9 with judging to begin at 10 a.m. Check in for participants begins at 7 a.m. Growers from across the United States participate each year, and with the return to the Nut Tree as host, organizers say interest has been sparked by international growers,

the press release states. With a large purse on the line, participation is expected to be big again. Pumpkins in the competition can weigh upwards of 2,000 pounds. Prize money is based on weight. The top prize is worth $18,000 and goes down to $100 for 25th place. A large animal petting zoo will be set up to go with the regular Nut Tree train and carousel, in conjunction with the weigh-off.

FAIRFIELD — Federal funds originally intended to create trails and improve public access to the Lynch Canyon area will instead be used to help motorists navigate the roadways near the county fairgrounds in Vallejo. Solano County will use $428,000 in unspent Cordelia Hills Sky Valley Project dollars toward the Redwood Parkway-Fairgrounds Drive Improvement Project. The Board of Supervisors approved the contract Tuesday amendment for the design phase of the Redwood Parkway-Fairgrounds Drive Project, Improvement which was started in 2016 and includes improvements to Fairgrounds Drive and its intersection/interchange with Highway 37.

Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be the one who brings everyone together. Does knowing they will influence one another for better and worse make you reconsider your guest list? TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Trials are your best teachers. You’ll meet challenges that affirm your strength and resourcefulness. Fellow earth signs Virgo and Capricorn prove worthy team members. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Nonproductive stretches can be uncomfortable or even alarming for movers like you. Don’t fight it; ride it. Something excellent will come out of the break, and it actually won’t put you behind at all. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Not all boundaries are meant to keep others out. Often the fences and limits provide a much-needed sense of order. Lay down a few rules to give structure to today’s uncharted territory. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone falls. Whether you fall down, fall short or fall for the tricks and traps of a wild world, there’s only one thing to do – pick yourself up and walk on with the lesson in your pocket. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). “Just be yourself,” they say. Meanwhile, “yourself” isn’t the easiest person to “just be,” when you’re in the process of exploring and becoming.

Daily Cryptoquotes

Dear Annie: I read your response to “Brokenhearted.” She was hurting because her sister didn’t believe her abuse. Depression is a process. My biggest hurdle in managing it was the belief that it was a flaw of mine. That there was something wrong with me. I read “The Body Keeps the Score.” It was liberating. The book, in my perspective, was a work of correlating physical changes in the body as they related to mental changes. What a life-changer. I realized that the evolution of my depression was not my fault. I did pretty darn good, considering what I went through. I no longer allowed people’s opinions to shape me. I arrived at a very empowered and healing place. I can’t recommend the book enough. Good call. — The Body Keeps Score Dear Body: Congratulations on your dedication to living a full and empowered life. Taking control of your mental and physical health is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself and the world. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Today’s birthday Never have you been more purposeful. You prefer the sort of power that comes from skills honed over time and earned merit. And yet, when you visit the person at the top and are granted a game-changing position, take it! This is either part of the payoff for your work or an advance payment for what you will do soon. Virgo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 26, 38, 10 and 5.

So instead, experiment and be whoever you want to be in the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You cultivate an atmosphere of emotional safety around you. People sense you’ll take care of them and make their lives a little easier, maybe even momentarily delightful. No wonder you’re popular. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It requires courage to take a chance. Give yourself credit for assuming a risk, carrying it and being big enough to accept the consequences, whatever they may be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Maybe the mystics and geniuses are right about life being an illusion. The question is what to do about it. Can you dream differently? What

would it take to pierce the perception that entraps you? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Stimulating environments engage the mind, but when they go on for too long, the imagination suffers. Creativity needs the breathing room that only boredom can provide. A dull stretch is the precursor to inspiration. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Boasting, posing and posturing is the behavior of insecurity and under-confidence. You get the best out of yourself and others by offering the remedy of kind attention and acceptance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The relationships you cherish the most will be the ones that demand something of you and afford you the opportunity to emotionally expand. When it comes to love, you get what you put in. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Immortally glamorous Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis remains a subject of adoring fascination. Sun and Mercury in Leo suggest she was destined for the spotlight, and though everpoised in its glare, Mars and Neptune in Virgo intimate it wasn’t a comfortable place for her to be. Virgo energy is always striving for perfection; Jackie O. made it seem attainable.

today’s deal from a 21st-century tournament. Also, what is the par contract, the best possible result for both sides? South, with six losers, was slightly aggressive in bidding game, but he knew it could be laydown. East’s double of four spades was speculative, but players often do that sort of thing in pairs events, especially if needing a good result to place. Also, here East was theoretically right because South had four losers. Although South could establish the diamond jack by leading twice toward his hand, the discard would serve no purpose. However, West understandably led the club queen. But when declarer incorrectly ducked that, West shifted to the heart 10. Declarer ducked that too, so West went back to clubs, South capturing East’s king with his ace. Declarer drew three rounds of trumps, West throwing hearts, and exited with the diamond two from hand. West GO HIGHER, AND went in with his nine and cashed the jack: down one.

Metal Church singer Mike Howe dead at 55 Tribune Content Agency Longtime rock singer Mike Howe, whose career included multiple stints with the band Metal Church, died Monday at age 55. Howe died at his home in Eureka, California, Metal Church announced in a Facebook post. “We are devastated and at a loss for words,” the announcement reads. “Please respect our privacy and the Howe family’s privacy during this most difficult time.” Howe joined Metal Church in 1988, eight years after the heavy metal band debuted in San Francisco. He remained the group’s lead singer until the band broke up in 1996, and contributed

to the Metal Church albums “Blessing in Disguise,” “The Human Factor” and “Hanging in the Balance. “When Metal Church broke up it was a very sad thing,” Howe told the music outlet Loudwire last year. “I loved being in Metal Church and I felt that was my identity. I left primarily because of the business of music and how difficult it was navigating management, record companies and outside forces that were ruining the band and my love of music.” He did not return in 1998 when the band reunited, but ultimately rejoined Metal Church in 2015 and was part of two more studio albums, “XI” and “Damned If You Do,” before his death.

“The pandemic brutally impacted (ag) no matter where they farmed or the crop,” King said. Additionally, King said, “We had farms and small ranches that were damaged or lost (to the LNU Lightning Complex Fire).” Solano County also has been declared a disaster area because of the drought. “The conditions are so bad now . . . it will take a couple of good winters to rebound,” King told the supervisors. King said the county’s diversity, with more than

Recall From Page One of the vote. Tim Flanagan, the county registrar of voters, and John Gardner, the assistant registrar, outlined the steps the county is taking to secure the election, including steps for Covid-19 protection as well as other contingencies. For those who do not wish to vote by mail, there will be 97 neighborhood poll locations, which is three fewer than the 2020 general election, largely due to logistical issues with those sites. There will be seven sites – one in each city – set up with backup power in the event of a power outage. Personal protection

Officer From Page One Jan. 6 than he was during his Army tour of duty in Iraq. He said when he arrived home at 4 a.m. on Jan. 7, he could not even hug his wife because his uniform was so soaked in chemical irritants he had been sprayed with. Less than four hours later he was back at work. He faces multiple surgeries from injuries to his shoulder, legs and feet, and at least a year of rehabilitation. Tuesday’s hearing, which was meant to set the tone for what is expected to be a monthslong investigation, focused primarily on the officers and what they experienced fighting off the melee for several hours. Some Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have sought to downplay the event as a largely peaceful protest that got out of control. “Even though there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, including hours and hours of video and photographic coverage, there is a continuous and shocking attempt to ignore or try to destroy the truth of what truly happened that day and to whitewash the facts,” Gonell said.

cattle and calves at $36.07 million; alfalfa was fifth at $26.14 million; walnuts was sixth at $22.52 million; wine grapes was seventh at $21.2 million; sunflower seeds was eighth at $10.48 million; followed by pollination and then prunes (dried), which also broke into the top 10 with a gross value of $4.99 million. As a group, fruit and nuts represent 29% of the production value. Vegetable crops represent 22%. That is followed by animal production (19%), field crops (17%), nursery products (10%) and seed crops (3%), the report states. King also noted his office was busy with its

pest prevention, including trapping for four different species of moths in the Benicia area, as well as efforts to eradicate the false yellowhead weed, which is poisonous to livestock. On the weights and measures side of his office, King said his staff conducted more than 6,500 inspections in 2020, many of those focused on grocery stores during the pandemic. He also noted his office issued more than 800 export certificates to the area farmers and ranchers. “That is mostly hay, but also some dried fruit, almonds and some nursery (products),” King said.

equipment will be issued to all poll workers and will be available for voters as well. “And we are still encouraging curbside (ballot drop-off) . . . from the safety of their cars,” Flanagan said. There will be 10 curbside drop-off locations throughout the county. They open five days prior to the election, including Saturday. Additionally, there will be 16 drop-off locations inside buildings that open up 30 days before the election. Moreover, on Election Day, there is an option for voters to drive up to a poll site and request a ballot that can be filled out while remaining in their cars and then return it to the poll worker. Voters should go to their assigned polling locations.

It is a service the county has provided for many years to help individuals who are disabled, but with the pandemic, it was extended to any registered voter. The county will begin processing the ballots as soon as it receives them, but the official count will not take place until the polls close. The county expects to certify the local results by Oct. 1.

The deadline for the state certification is Oct. 22. The estimated $2.99 million cost to the county will be reimbursed by the state, it was reported. For more information, including specific polling and drop-off locations, go to the Registrar of Voters webpage on the county website, www.solano county.com.

Speaking for more than three hours, officers discussed seeing protesters carrying knives and metal batons, and breaking apart barricades to use the pieces as weapons. They recounted people in the crowd trying to gouge out their eyes, calling them traitors and beating them with poles carrying American flags. They recalled watching officers keep fighting the rioters despite concussions and broken bones, being shocked with cattle prods and sprayed with wasp and bear spray. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn said he received no warning of a threat from the chain of command when he took his post Jan. 6. “We expected any demonstrators to be peaceful expressions of First Amendment freedoms, just like the scores of demonstrations we had observed for many years,” Dunn said. Hours later, after hearing repeated racial slurs from the mob, Dunn, who is Black, recalled helping to perform CPR on one of the attackers, fighting to save her life in House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s office. Before Jan. 6, “no one had ever called me a ‘n-----’ while wearing the uniform of a Capitol Police officer,” he said. On Tuesday he pleaded with colleagues

to get therapy and urged the panel to make sure help is available for struggling officers. “More than six months later, Jan. 6 isn’t over for me,” he said. The officers said they didn’t fire their weapons Jan. 6 because they were so outnumbered and thought it would cause armed people in the crowd to begin firing. “If that turned into a firefight, we would have lost and this was a fight we couldn’t afford to lose,” Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges said. Video of Hodges screaming for help while wedged in a door between officers and rioters is one of the most widely seen videos from the attack. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., a committee member, said she had been hiding in an office 40 feet from the tunnel entrance that Hodges and Fanone defended and could hear the fighting and the officers’ screams. “You were our last line of defense,” she said. “I shudder to think what would have happened had you not held that line.” Fanone was pulled into the crowd, where he suffered a heart attack after being beaten and shocked with stun gun repeatedly at the base of his skull. He recalled tussling with rioters over his weapon as some yelled, “Kill him

with his own gun!” before some people in the crowd finally intervened when he screamed to them that he had children. Fanone and the other officers urged Congress to perform an in-depth investigation into the riot. “What makes the struggle harder and more painful is to know so many of our fellow citizens – including so many of the people I put my life at risk to defend – are downplaying or outright denying what happened,” Fanone said. “I feel like I went to hell and back to protect them and the people in this room, but too many are now telling me that hell doesn’t exist, or that hell actually wasn’t that bad.” “The indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful,” Fanone said, raising his voice to a shout and slamming his fist down on the table. The committee’s next hearing has not yet been set. The Justice Department informed former Trump officials Tuesday that they can give “unrestricted testimony” to the House Oversight and Reform Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee. But that position differs from Trump’s claims of executive privilege and the issue will likely end up in court, if such witnesses are called to testify.

variant may be contagious and can spread the virus to others. Getting the Covid-19 vaccine reduces the risk of infection upon exposure to the delta variant by seven-fold and reduces the risk of hospitalization and death by 20-fold, the CDC director said. But although the immediate risks of a breakthrough Covid-19 infection are thought to be small among the vaccinated, there could be long-term consequences throughout communities. “The big concern is that the next variant that might emerge, just a few mutations potentially away, could potentially evade our vaccine,” Walensky said when asked why vacci-

nated individuals should mask up when the unvaccinated are causing most of the virus’s spread at this point. The three currently authorized Covid-19 vaccines provide ample protection against the virus, but wearing a mask can help prevent its spread and save lives, administration officials have said. “The reality is we are dealing with a much different strain of the virus than we were earlier in the spring,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki told reporters earlier in the day. The delta variant has caused an uptick in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks, especially among the unvaccinated, with

overall infections rising 300 percent in a little over a month through July 23, the CDC said. That led many public health experts to fear an even greater spike in cases in the coming weeks. In May, the CDC said fully vaccinated Americans could ditch masks indoors due to low transmission rates across the country and high rates of vaccinations. But in recent weeks, vaccinations have plateaued, and just 60% of American adults are fully vaccinated. Polling indicates that getting the remaining 40% across the finish line could be a slow crawl, as many unvaccinated Americans say they are not interested in getting a shot.

King said at its peak, there were 30,000 bee colonies in the county pollinating the almond orchards. The almond crop had a gross value of $50.7 million. Second on the list was processing tomatoes with a gross value of $38.08 million, followed by nursery products at $37.47 million, the crop report states. Nursery products moved up one slot from 2019.

Baby bear with badly burned paws found in path of Tamarack fire Tribune Content Agency After evacuating from the growing Tamarack fire over the weekend, homeowners in Markleeville, California, were relieved to find their house still standing, but they found a surprise in their backyard: a bear cub that had been injured in the blaze. The frightened cub’s paws were so badly burned that he tried to hobble away from his rescuers by walking on his elbows. When the residents returned to their house Sunday evening, they found the 6-monthold bear lying in their backyard, dehydrated and worn out. Rescuers from Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care

arrived within an hour and found the cub had crawled beneath the deck. He tried to get away, but the veterinarian staff and volunteers managed to corner and sedate him, wrapping the animal in a blanket for transport to the rescue center. The 21-pound cub, dubbed Tamarack after the namesake wildfire burning in northeast California and Nevada, is now recovering at the wildlife center, animal care manager Jenny Curtis said Tuesday. The baby bear was “not (in) terribly bad condition, but dehydrated, so he must have gotten burned early on in the fire,” Curtis said. “He could move but not very well.”

Police: Man dead after chase along I-80 between Vacaville, Fairfield Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — Authorities are investigating the death of a man who police suspect shot and killed himself early Tuesday after a vehicle chase that moved along Interstate 80 between Vacaville and Fairfield and back. A Vacaville police officer initiated a traffic stop around 12:30 a.m. near Gibson Canyon and Fruitvale roads. Police report that the man driving the vehicle “stopped momentarily”

before driving away from the officer. Officers pursued the vehicle through the north side of the city and onto westbound I-80, police report. The vehicle continued toward Fairfield where it exited and re-entered eastbound I-80 at Manuel Campos Parkway. The pursuit continued back toward Vacaville. Officers deployed a spike strip on eastbound I-80 prior to the Alamo Drive off-ramp. The vehicle exited onto the off-ramp, where another

spike strip was deployed, police report. The vehicle came to a stop on Alamo Drive just north of Merchant Street. Police report that the driver of the vehicle did not respond to instructions by officers, who approached the vehicle and found the man dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was the only occupant of the vehicle, police report. The Solano County Major Crimes Unit is investigating the incident.

Stars in unexpected trouble at increasingly turbulent Olympics David Wharton

ANALYSIS

LOS ANGELES TIMES

hese Olympic Games were always walking a tightrope, right from the beginning, teetering on the edge of disaster. From the first positive coronavirus test, there were fears the Covid-19 pandemic might land scores of athletes in quarantine, maybe wipe

out an entire event like the men’s 100-meter final. From the first explosion of fireworks over an empty stadium during the opening ceremony, there were doubts that Tokyo could generate any real buzz without fans in the seats. But it was neither of these things that pushed the Games a big step

closer to catastrophe on Tuesday night. The uncertainty that drove Simone Biles to abruptly withdraw from the women’s gymnastics team competition continued a more alarming trend. These Olympics are losing their star power. Biles was merely the latest marquee name to suffer misfortune in the first few days of the

Games. American swimmer Katie Ledecky – another ostensible “Greatest of All Time” – finished second in her initial race and Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka, whose face adorns countless billboards and television commercials in this country, was bounced from the women’s draw See Olympics, Page B10

Armijo grad’s Olympic dream as ‘Dreamer’ comes true Matt Miller

Armijo High graduate Luis Grijalva of Northern Arizona University holds the trophy he earned for finishing second in the men’s 5000-meter race during the NCAA Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, June 11.

FAIRFIELD — Luis Grijalva has been running one of the biggest races of his life in recent weeks . . . the race against time. He crossed the finish line Monday, a winner. The 2017 Armijo High School and recent Northern Arizona University graduate announced on Instagram that he will be competing at the Olympic Games in Tokyo for his birth country, Guatemala. “It’s official. I’m going to Tokyo,” Grijalva posted. Grijalva had the race of his life June 11 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. He ran the 5,000 meters in 13 minutes, 13.14 seconds, finishing second at the NCAA Track and Field Championships. Grijalva obliterated his personal-best in the event by 15 seconds as he lost to only Oregon’s Cooper Teare (13:12.27) on his home track. Grijalva’s performance was not only a personal record, but also eclipsed the Olympic standard of 13:13.50. He was asked a month later by his native Guatemala to join their Olympic team for the Games in Tokyo. There was only one hitch. Grijalva, 22, is a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient. And as a “Dreamer,” he was not allowed to leave the United States without being barred from returning for at least a decade. “It would be an honor

and a privilege to represent my home country but also be able to be a voice and represent over 600,000 Dreamers like me,” Grijalva posted on Instagram prior to Monday’s announcement. “I have been selected to represent Guatemala in the Olympic Games in Tokyo. DACA takes away my freedom of ever leaving the country and being able to come back in.” Thanks to work from his attorney, Jessica Smith Bobadilla, and president of his management team, Ray Flynn, he was able to receive an advanced reentry document that will allow him to go to Tokyo and come back to the United States. The men’s 5,000 meters is scheduled Aug. 6. Grijalva will have to leave soon to get accustomed to the time and climate differences. Preliminaries begin Aug. 3. “I came to the States at a year old and I have lived in the U.S. for more than 21 years,” he posted earlier on Instagram. “All my life all I have known is the United States. Even though my roots started in Guatemala in some ways I feel as American as anybody else who was born here.” DACA protects children who were brought into the United States illegally as children. DACA services, begun under the Obama administration, provide protection from deportation, an opportunity to receive health care, a work permit, a See Grijalva, Page B2

Fired-up Garoppolo is 49ers’ unquestioned starter, ‘right now’ Eric Branch

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Jimmy Garoppolo was the best quarterback on the 49ers’ roster “right now” and added there is no open competition for the starting QB spot between Garoppolo and rookie Trey Lance “right now.” In other words: You could be the second-stringer by September, if not sooner, Jimmy. It’s no shock that Garoppolo’s grip on the starting job he’s held since December 2017 is tenuous. The clock began ticking on Garoppolo’s time as the No. 1 – and his tenure with the 49ers – on March 26, the day the 49ers traded a draft-pick bounty to move up nine spots to select Lance with the third overall pick. Lance will eventually

replace Garoppolo. But will it be next week? November? In 2022? That’s the most compelling question as the 49ers ready for their first practice of training camp Wednesday. And here’s a takeaway after Shanahan, general manager John Lynch and a group of players that included tight end George Kittle and left tackle Trent Williams spoke with reporters Tuesday: If Garoppolo loses his job in 2021, he’ll go down fighting instead of pouting. “These OTAs, he looked like he had a little bit of a fire in him,” Kittle said. “I think he’s always had that, but I think he was just a little bit more intense. I’m fully expecting Jimmy to come out the gates firing this camp.” Shanahan said in March that Garoppolo was “pissed off” by the trade and offered, “The more mad

Jimmy gets, usually the better he gets.” Added Shanahan: “If Jimmy just gets madder and he stays healthy, it’s going to be a good thing for Jimmy, too, which could be a great problem for the 49ers.” Shanahan said in early June that Garoppolo had his best offseason practices since he’s been with the 49ers. Shanahan suggested Tuesday that Angry Jimmy had elevated his play, just as he’d hoped. “When Jimmy’s at the top of his game – I told him this when we made the trade – there’s no rookie that’s going to just come in here right away and just take your job if you’re at the top of your game,” Shanahan said. “And that’s what I’ve seen so far is him getting there. And that’s very exciting for me. It’s very exciting for the 49ers. It’s See Garoppolo, Page B2

driver’s license and a Social Security number. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service usually requires a 90-day approval period, but Grijalva broke the standard June 11 and didn’t know he was asked to join the Guatemalan Olympic Team until July. One thing that did help him is the fact that he recently turned professional and signed in July with the shoe company Hoka One One. Grijalva had found many supporters on social media and his story was growing in many U.S. and international media channels. Some supporters had encouraged leaders in both California and

Arizona to step in and help make his Olympic dream in Tokyo a reality. A spokesperson from Rep. John Garamendi’s office said Monday the congressman was aware of the situation and put a caseworker on it Monday to see if the issue could be resolved. Grijalva lived in New York for a short time before the family moved to Fairfield in the early 2000s. He quickly became a standout runner in local circles. Success in big meets was nothing new to Grijalva, who ran away with the 2016 California Interscholastic Federation Division I boys state cross country championship despite not being the favorite. The next spring

he won the 1,600-meter crown at the CIF State Track and Field Championships and nearly pulled off a rare double by finishing a close second in the 3,200. “He was always willing to commit, trust and do everything you ask of him,” said former Armijo coach Dave Monk, now working with the program at Vacaville High School. “He has a very special gift of gratitude and that’s what makes him so likable.” With his second-place finish at the NCAA Track and Field Championships, Grijalva earned his second All-America first team distinction in the past three months, having earned the honor in cross country in March. With

his time of 13 minutes, 13.14 seconds, he broke the school and Big Sky Conference records set by NAU alum Diego Estrada in 2013 (13:15.33). Based on previous times, Grijalva was not one of the favorites in Eugene, coming in with a regional qualifying time of 13:57.00 that had him seeded 20th. His personal best was 13:29.02 and he was15thinthe2019NCAAs in 14:20.86. The cloudy day in Eugene at 63 degrees and 74% humidity must have been to his liking because he was stronger than ever for the NCAA final. Now he will have a chance to see what he can do in Tokyo.

Garoppolo: Injury not only concern From Page B1 early. That was OTAs. We’ll see how training camp goes.” Last year, Garoppolo suffered a high ankle sprain in the first quarter of a Week 2 win against the Jets and never fully recovered. He missed two games, made five straight starts, then reaggravated the injury and was lost for the season. Williams referenced Garoppolo’s injury when asked about the QB possibly playing with an

added edge with Lance on the roster. “Jimmy has always been a fierce competitor,” Williams said. “His ankle was damn near less than an inch away from just snapping. So just watching him even fight through and try to play. A guy who has accomplished so much, got a lot of money, went to a Super Bowl, he didn’t have to press forward like he did and try to play hurt. And the guys respect that.” Shanahan acknowl-

edged Garoppolo’s injury had an impact on his performance in 2020, but added, “Yeah, I have opinions about the play, it’s not all just injury.” Shanahan’s opinions about Garoppolo’s play, along with his medical file, inspired the 49ers to investigate trades for QBs Matthew Stafford and Deshaun Watson in the offseason before they traded up to draft Lance. No rookie quarterback has ever started in

a Super Bowl, but Shanahan said that won’t influence his QB decision. “That doesn’t enter my mind at all,” Shanahan said. “I mean, I get that stat and those percentages, but I’m just looking at our situation and our moment. And that’s why it’s a lot simpler than I think people make it out to be: It’s who do you think gives you the best chance to win?” The answer: Garoppolo, right now.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, July 28, 2021 B3

Gym memberships are growing again But not everyone is rushing back to work out Tribune Content Agency Celeste Foley has been a regular presence at Life Time’s Schaumburg, Ill., athletic club for more than 20 years. The 54-year-old elementary school teacher takes group fitness classes like kickboxing and cycling, and when the facility closed during the Covid-19 pandemic, she worked out from home as instructors moved their classes online. But Foley missed the sense of community inperson classes offer, and as soon as the club reopened, she went back and picked up right where she left off. “It’s made a huge difference. I really missed it when I was gone,” Foley said. “I didn’t realize what a huge part of my life it is.” Foley is one of many Chicagoans returning to in-person workouts after gyms across the city were hobbled by the Covid-19 pandemic. As vaccinations continue to roll out and with the mask mandate lifted, a number of gyms are seeing an influx of new and returning members – something they expect to continue in the coming months. There were over 39,000 members throughout Chicago Athletic Clubs’ seven locations before the pandemic, according to owner Patrick Cunningham. Then “someone flipped the switch and we went down to 14,000 members.”

Things have improved at the club in recent months during the city’s phased reopening. Membership has grown by 2,400 since May, and now stands around 23,000. Business was doing so well at Studio Three’s two locations in Chicago before the pandemic that it committed to a third location, which opened in February. While the gym saw a 70% to 80% drop in membership, CEO David Blitz said they’re now almost at pre-pandemic levels. But not every gym is recovering so quickly. Membership at River North Gym, located inside the Merchandise Mart building in Chicago, is 56% of what it was in 2019. With many people still working from home, owner Bernie Lecocq said corporate fitness facilities will be the slowest to rebound as they wait for companies to chart a return to the office. About 85% of the gym’s clientele worked in the building before the pandemic. River North Gym is emblematic of the larger issues the fitness industry is facing. While many gyms made it through the pandemic, countless others didn’t. Seventeen percent of the estimated 41,370 health clubs in the U.S. permanently closed by the end of 2020, according to a report from the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association. Consumers have

adapted as well. Outdoor workouts became common during the pandemic as people looked for a reprieve from being cooped up all day. Interest in workout equipment also soared, with sales for everything from dumbbells to Pelotons climbing. Home fitness equipment sales grew 84% in 2020, according to Matt Powell, vice president and senior industry adviser for the NPD Group, a market research company. And during the first part of this year, from January through May, sales climbed another 121%. This trend may wane as the year goes on, but it presents a challenge for gyms as they work to rebuild their membership levels. “Consumers who have a sunk cost in home fitness equipment are likely not going to rush back to gyms,” Powell said. As a result of the changes in consumer habits and preferences, gyms are evolving to keep up with the times. Cunningham said Chicago Athletic Clubs will have a free on-demand library for members so they can still work out in case they’re stuck at home or traveling. Life Time launched a digital membership through an app that members can use for one-on-one training, small group training and nutrition coaching. “Finding where the members want to be served and how they

want to be served, it was a clarion call for us,” said Steve Larson, senior vice president for club operations at Life Time. While the pandemic-induced closures were a financial challenge, they presented gyms an opportunity to make upgrades – such as adding new equipment or improving the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units – that would otherwise be tough to pull off during normal business operations.

Walmart to pay 100% of college tuition, books for associates Tribune Content Agency The world’s largest retailer announced Tuesday it will pay 100% of all college tuition and books for its associates in the U.S. Walmart’s Live Better U (LBU) education program represents an investment of almost $1 billion over the next five years, the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company said. Starting Aug. 16, the $1-a-day fee will be removed for associates, making all education programs paid for by Walmart. This means about 1.5 million part-time and full-time Walmart and Sam’s Club associates in the U.S. can earn college degrees or learn trade

skills without education debt, the company said. “We are creating a path of opportunity for our associates to grow their careers at Walmart, so they can continue to build better lives for themselves and their families,” said Lorraine Stomski, senior vice president of learning and leadership at Walmart. “This investment is another way we can support our associates to pursue their passion and purpose while removing the barriers that too often keep adult working learners from obtaining degrees.” Walmart said its LBU program was designed after consulting with experts, reviewing other employer-provided education programs and

studying the research around what helps drive completion rates among adult working learners. According to Bloomberg, the 3-year-old program is also adding four new schools and degree or certificate programs in areas including business administration and cybersecurity. Since 2018, 52,000 associates have participated in the program and 8,000 have graduated, with nearly 28,000 currently enrolled this summer. Program graduates are twice as likely to get promoted, Stomski told Bloomberg, and are retained at a “significantly higher rate” that she would not quantify.

Covid-19 roars back, forces Newsom to act

ov. Gavin Newsom has been crisscrossing the state for weeks, boasting that California is “roaring back” from the health, social and economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Monday, however, he had to interrupt his victory lap because a nasty variant of coronavirus, dubbed “delta,” is roaring through the state, just a few weeks after Newsom had lifted personal and economic restrictions. “As of last week, California’s statewide case rate more than quadrupled from a low in May of 1.9 cases (per) 100,000 (per) day to at least 9.5 cases (per) 100,000,” the state reported. “Our testing positivity was at a low of 0.7% in June, now it has risen to 5.2%. Our hospitalizations were at a low in June of under 900, and we are now approaching 3,000.” Newsompleaded with millions of unvaccinated Californians to get the jab and ordered “all state workers and Dan Walters workers in health care and high-risk congregate settings to either show proof of full vaccination or be tested at least once per week.” He also urged local government and private employers to do the same. “We are now dealing with a pandemic of the unvaccinated, and it’s going to take renewed efforts to protect Californians from the dangerous delta variant,” Newsom said during a webcast news conference. “As the state’s largest employer, we are leading by example and requiring all state and health care workers to show proof of vaccination or be tested regularly, and we are encouraging local governments and businesses to do the same. Vaccines are safe; they protect our family, those who truly can’t get vaccinated, our children and our economy. Vaccines are the way we end this pandemic.” Reporters naturally asked Newsom whether he would reinstate mask wearing orders, as Los Angeles County has done and several other urban areas have recommended to their residents. However, he fended off those questions, as well as those asking whether teachers will be required to be vaccinated before in-person classes resume in a few weeks. About three-quarters of the Californians who are eligible for vaccinations – adults and older children – have received at least one dose, but that leaves millions still unvaccinated and “the vast majority of new cases are among the unvaccinated, with 600% higher case rates among the unvaccinated than for those who are vaccinated,” Newsom’s office said. So who, one might wonder, are the Californians who have refused to be vaccinated. Anew surveyby the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health found sharp variations by ethnicity, geography and economic class but they are not the right-wing Trumpies often pictured in the media. Among the findings: n While 12% of adult Californians stated that they would not get the vaccine, those in rural areas have the highest refusal rates. n By ethnicity, Black Californians have the highest rates of vaccine avoidance at 22.1%, followed by multiracial adults (21.1%) and Latinos (13.6%). n The poorest adults are also the least likely to seek vaccination, as are those with high school educations or less. If, as Newsom says, the key to dealing with the delta variant is accelerating vaccination rates, reaching these refuseniks is the difficult task he faces. And whether Newsom corrals this new chapter of the pandemic obviously could affect how Californians vote on recalling him seven weeks hence. Although Newsom is widely favored to beat the recall, especially since there’s no standout favorite among his would-be successors, he has counted on Californians endorsing his “roaring back” mantra to erase residual bitterness about his management of the crisis. It will be hard to maintain that upbeat attitude if the delta variant continues to roar.

The audit would tie up UC projects in red tape and delay much-needed construction projects, leading to increased costs, more deferred maintenance and less earthquake safety on campuses. The trailer bill singles out UC. That’s unfair – and ironic – because the UC system is the state’s third largest employer, directly employing about 229,000 full- and part-time faculty and staff. As we emerge from the pandemic, UC’s role in our economic recovery continues to be vital: UC-related spending and activities support more than 529,000 jobs. That’s 2% of California’s total jobs, or 1 in 45 jobs in the state. No wonder California’s building trade unions have joined UC and the California Coalition for Public Higher Education in opposing SB 132. The bill would discourage economic activity, postpone needed improvements and compromise the university’s ability to train and prepare students. We urge the Legislature to reject it.

It is important to distinguish the memorials to CHP and other law enforcement officers from the other highway memorials that exist in the state. One broader program recognizes those who served in the military. Of the 15 Blue Star Memorial Highway dedications, the only one linked to Solano is Route 680, the dedicated portion of which runs between the Contra Costa/Alameda counties line and the Contra Costa/Solano counties line. The sign reads, “A tribute to the Armed Forces that have defended the United States of America.” Additionally, there has been a Victims Memorial Sign Program in California since 2002. It directs the state Department of Transportation to place and maintain memorial signs along state highways that read “Please Don’t Drink and Drive” followed by an in-memory sign with the name of an individual who was killed by an impaired driver. No signs of that type are located in Solano County. Todd R. Hansen is a reporter and editor with the Daily Republic. Reach him at thansen@dailyrepublic.net.

LeVar Burton one step closer to his dream as this week’s ‘Jeopardy!’ guest host Despite decades of experience in the entertainment industry as a beloved TV host and actor, LeVar Burton was more than nervous to begin his long-awaited stint as guest host of “Jeopardy!” “I was absolutely petrified,” Burton said in a promotional video for the hit quiz show, whose first episode hosted by Burton aired Monday. “And I don’t know that that feeling ever went away.” After dropping hints and outright campaigning to succeed the late Alex Trebek as emcee of the prestigious TV institution for years, Burton finally makes his debut behind the famed studio lectern during this week’s “Jeopardy!” programming. “My standard of excellence is so intense that my initial approach was to try and be as good as Alex was,” Burton told previous “Jeopardy!” guest hosts Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos on Monday’s installment of “Good Morning America.” “Of course, I realized right away that that was an impossibility. The man had 37 years to perfect his mastery.” From 1983 to 2006, Burton served as host of the popular PBS series “Reading Rainbow,” which encouraged children to read through various modes of storytelling. During his “Reading Rainbow” tenure, Burton collected several Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award for his influential work. As Burton’s highly anticipated “Jeopardy!” moment approaches, more than 257,000 fans – who grew up watching the revered performer on “Reading Rainbow,” “Roots” and other seminal productions – have signed an online petition nominating him as permanent host of the long-running competition program. In recent years and months, Burton has repeatedly stated his aspirations to take up the coveted mantle on social media, in interviews and in correspondence with the show’s producers. In other words, he and

This week won’t mark the first time Burton has taken the “Jeopardy!” stage. In 1995, the Grammy-winning narrator raked in a whopping $14,500 for the Somalia Foundation as the winner of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” This time around, Burton is raising money and awareness for Reading is Fundamental, an organization that delivers thousands of books to children each year. “This is what I’ve been doing my entire career,” he said. “For 45 years, I’ve tried to use the medium of television to do more than simply entertain. “I know that we have the opportunity – when we do it with consciousness – to inform, to enlighten, to educate, even uplift ourselves with the stories that we tell one another. And I see ‘Jeopardy!’ as absolutely in the sweet spot of that Venn diagram.”

‘Gossip Girl’ star Laura Benanti on revealing more than she intended on Broadway stage

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency Laura Benanti stars in the new “Gossip Girl” reboot from HBO Max, but her role on the show has been shrouded in secrecy. What can she say about her character? “Literally nothing. The words I’m allowed to say are: ‘I’m so thrilled to be a part of this.’” But it wasn’t daunting to step into a project that aims to reimagine a series that already had such an entrenched pop cultural footprint. “I’ve done a lot of revivals of shows on stage and this feels like that to me,” Benanti said, “so I’ve been in this position before. It’s not my job to be exactly like the people before me.” On screen, Benanti’s credits include “Law & Order: SVU,” “Nurse Jackie,” “Nashville” and “Younger.” She’s also known for her recurring turn as Melania Trump on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” But Benanti is a Broadway actor at heart, with the Tony nominations and a win in 2008 for “Gypsy” to prove it. When asked about a worst moment in her career, of course it would be a memory from her time on stage. “I have so many stories,” she said. “One is just too sad to talk about: I broke my neck on stage while I was doing ‘Into the Woods’ (in 2002). And there was the time my microphone was on and I was complaining about the audience. That’s pretty cringey.” But an especially embarrassing memory, she said, was from a performance on Broadway in a show called “Swing.”

My worst moment . . . “This was in 2001. I was 19 years old. It was my second Broadway show and my first Tony nomination, but this story I’m about to tell you happened before I was nominated. In the show, I had a trick dress, meaning: What appeared to be a cape around my shoulders, when I tugged on it, it actually opened up and became a long flowing sexy dress. So initially it looked like I was covered in this matronly dress, and then I unclipped it and it became this sexy dress. “And the way it was constructed, the bra was built into it. So it started out as a cape and a skirt and it became a long gown with a beaded bodice and a very low sweetheart neckline. And every night I would do it and the audience would go, ‘Oooh!’ “But one night I did it and the audience was like, ‘Gasp!’ And I was thinking: Oh, I must look good! And I kept singing. And then I looked down and my boob was out. It was just me, alone on stage, doing a solo. I was like: Well, everybody’s seen my boob. I mean, I heard their

But I was just mortified for the entire rest of the show because I had always been really selfconscious about my boobs; I developed so early on that it was something I always tried to hide. So it was showing people my most mortifying secret. I was just deeply self-conscious about my body, and I was in a show with all swing dancers who had 0% body fat. “I was sobbing hysterically when I went backstage and one of the most seasoned dancers, she was a big Fosse dancer, she was like: ‘Listen, this happens to all of us. It’s just something that happens – we’ve got you and we love you.’ She wasn’t like, ‘Ah, shake it off.’ She was like, ‘It’s hard when that happens,’ and she validated my feelings and assured me that I would be fine. And I was. I was able to let it go. “But when I came out of the stage door afterward to get lunch – because it was a matinee – a boy who was like 10 said to me, ‘This was my first time seeing a Broadway show and I loved it.’ (Laughs) I was like, ‘Got it.’ “I had to do another show that night, and I was extremely nervous before that number and was just quadruple-checking that everything was where it was supposed to be. And that

became my new ritual.”

Would she ever do a project that required nudity? “No, I avoid it. I barely want to see myself nude. I’m not one of those people who’s like (sings) body positivity! My husband will be like, ‘Are you covering yourself up while you change?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I know. I don’t know why.’ I’m just a very prudish person (laughs).”

The takeaway . . . “I think up until then I had a very limited ability to withstand embarrassment and discomfort, and that experience hedged me toward being more able to shake things off. It was a really good lesson in: You just have to keep going. “Especially in musical theater, I think we’re taught not to fail. Perfection is a big part of it and that doesn’t really serve you as an artist. So it wasn’t until I really started allowing myself to loosen up, for lack of a better term, and allow myself to fail and not make the perfect choice, that I felt like I came into my own as an actor. “So yes, this was an incredibly embarrassing moment – probably one of the most embarrassing things that could happen to someone – but it didn’t kill me, you know? It helped increase my bandwidth for discomfort.”

stage. Hence his shut-my-eyes-andhope jump to six spades. North’s four-club rebid was a splinter, showing at least game values in spades (at most five losers) with a singleton or void in clubs. West led the diamond eight. Although this had all the aura of a singleton, South decided that he couldn’t handle a 5-1 diamond split. Also, maybe West was making a “clever” lead away from the king. So, South played low from the dummy. After winning with the king, East returned a diamond, South breathing a silent sigh of relief when West followed suit. Assuming East had the diamond jack, South saw 12 tricks: five spade winners in hand, three diamond tricks, two club ruffs in the dummy and two hearts – yes, that finesse would have to work too. South ruffed a club in the dummy, cashed the spade ace and played a spade to his king, noting that West IF YOU BID UP, YOU discarded a club. Another club ruff on the board was followed by the diamond MUST PLAY UP ace, on which South threw a club, and Yesterday, I featured a deal in which the diamond 10, covered and ruffed.

in the third round. “I’m disappointed in every loss,” Osaka said, “but I feel like this one sucks more than the others.” The list goes on. Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray of Britain withdrew from singles, deciding to give his body a rest by playing only doubles. Positive Covid-19 tests derailed Jon Rahm of Spain, the world’s top-ranked golfer, and Bryson DeChambeau of the U.S., ranked No. 6, before the start of play. The powerhouse U.S. women’s soccer team has looked shaky, barely escaping pool play with a 0-0 draw against Australia, and the men’s basketball team, stocked with NBA talent, hasn’t played any better. “I think that’s a little bit of hubris if you think the Americans are supposed to just roll out the ball and win,” Coach Gregg Popovich said. So what does all this mean for the Olympics? “It was already a very troubled Games with all sorts of issues,” said Jason Chung, an assistant professor of sports management at the University of New Haven in Connecticut. “Losing top stars from around the world doesn’t help.” If anything, the International Olympic Committee has seen its

17-day event become even more dependent on celebrity in recent decades, with television broadcasters paying billions in rights fees. Those broadcasters want recognizable names they can market to the viewing public. “That’s certainly true since the professionalization of the early 1990s,” said Victor Matheson, an economics professor who studies the business of sports at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts. “It’s not hard to look back at the first men’s Dream Team being a watershed moment.” Matheson expects to see lower television ratings for Tokyo in comparison to previous Summer Olympics in London and Rio de Janeiro. He wonders if the International Olympic Committee and local organizers are facing a perception problem they cannot solve.

“There was no chance of these Games being remembered as anything but disappointing — they were doomed from the start,” he said. “They were always going to be remembered as the Games without fans, or the Games where more athletes were disqualified by Covid tests than by doping tests.” But just four days into competition, there is still time for a turnaround. Speaking with reporters, Biles sounded as if she might be back for the all-around and individual events beginning later this week. “Just a lot of different variables and I think we’re just a little stressed out,” she said, adding that “we’re going to take it a day at a time.” Given the very personal yet very public circumstances of Biles’ withdrawal on Tuesday, Chung believes her return could become an even bigger story. “I could imagine it bringing more viewers because of the humaninterest angle,” he said. “Having someone of her magnitude and ability struggling emotionally,

people might be interested to see how she weathers the storm. “Also,” he said, “she could draw younger viewers who connect with that kind of authenticity.” In the days to come, the women’s soccer team and men’s basketball team could find their rhythm and reach the medals podium. Ledecky still has a number of races left and the start of track and field competition on Friday holds the promise of new stars coming to the fore. But the city of Tokyo reported a record three-day average of 2,848 new coronavirus infections on Tuesday, with health experts warning the numbers might continue to grow. That doesn’t bode well for a massive sports event already viewed with suspicion by the public. Even more athletes could be pulled from competition by positive Covid tests. Some of them could be big names. For these Games, things could get even worse. After all, there are still 13 days to go.
