Guns were on display at the Dixon Gun Show on Feb. 15, 2020, a scene that could go away if pending legislation banning gun shows on state property passes. The Solano

County Fair Board on Monday voted to ban gun shows at the fairgrounds in Vallejo, which is owned by the county and would not have been affected by the bill.

Spering disagrees with Fair Board gun show decision; accepts criticism Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Supervisor Jim Spering disagrees with the county Fair Board’s decision to ban gun shows at the fairgrounds, but accepted criticism leveled against him and board Chairman John Vasquez for not appointing representatives to the panel. “I think it’s unfortunate; I think it’s typical of what’s going on,” Spering said of the Fair Board’s 4-1 vote, with Director Lee Williams dissenting, to stop allowing gun shows after the contract with Code of the West Productions ends at the end of the year. “They just punished the lawabiding gun owners . . . and it’s unfortunate,” Spering said. The supervisor did accept criticism about not appoint-

ing members to the Fair Board, which left him and his 3rd District unrepresented when the gun show issue was considered. “I think it is a valid criticism, and I will accept that criticism. It’s been a low priority for me,” said Spering, who added Spering that the Board of Supervisors and the Fair Board need to have more communication moving forward. He said the higher priority concerning the fairgrounds, for him, has been implementing Solano360, the multimillion-dollar redevelopment of the fairgrounds property, which will likely shrink considerably the role of the Solano County Fair Association. Spering and Supervisor Erin Hannigan sit on the

Solano360 Implementation Committee along with two Vallejo council members. Industrial Realty Group LLC/Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. has been given exclusive negotiation rights as the master developer for the project. “I think to be fair, the Board (of Supervisors) should be working closer with the Fair Board,” Spering said. Vasquez, who represents the 4th District, did not return messages left for him with his staff, and failed to answer his cellphone. The Fair Board, at full capacity, would have three members from each Board of Supervisors district. There are two members from Hannigan’s 1st District: board Chairman Manuel Angel and See Guns, Page A8

Los Angeles Times The U.S. population has become increasingly diverse, powered by growth among Latinos, Asian and multiracial Americans, while the white populace registered historic declines, the U.S. Census Bureau said Thursday. The release of detailed data from the 2020 census paves the way for a frenzied rush to redraw congressional and legislative districts and shape the political landscape for the next decade. “Our analysis of the 2020 census results show that the U.S. population is much more multiracial and more racially and ethnically diverse than what we have measured in the past,” said Nich-

olas Jones, director of race and ethnic research and outreach for the Census Bureau’s population division. White people make up 57.8% of the total population, the largest racial or ethnic group in the nation, but its overall number, as well as its share of the populace, shrank. Latinos make up 18.7% of the country’s population, the second most prevalent group overall; in California, Latinos were the largest ethnic group, making up 39.4% of the state’s residents. The findings, which had been delayed because of the pandemic, show the national population increasing by 7.4% over the last decade – See Census, Page A8

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration, struggling to contain the rapid collapse of much of Afghanistan to Taliban forces, on Thursday announced it was pulling many U.S. Embassy personnel out of Kabul and urged American citizens – for the second time in a week – to leave the country immediately. Several thousand U.S. troops will be dispatched to the Kabul airport to help with what is shaping up as a military-run partial evacuation. It was a significant escalation in a violently deteriorating situation. The urgent moves came as the Islamist Taliban conquered Afghanistan’s third-largest city and two additional provincial capitals in its quest to topple the U.S.-backed government; Afghan ref-

ugees flooded Kabul, many sleeping in the streets, and talks to reach a political solution were going nowhere. State Department spokesman Ned Price said the administration has decided to reduce its “civilian footprint” in Afghanistan to a “core diplomatic presence” in face of the “grave” violence spreading across the country, and that many employees will be relocated to the fortified Kabul airport for safety. The moves are also likely to dismay an already desperate Afghan population. Many say they fear imprisonment, torture, repression and execution at the hands of the Taliban, who ruled brutally in the 1990s. The group says it has modernized, but there is little evidence to support

It lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 and declared that “the right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.” Rickey “Benji” Morgan, an 18-year-old Vacaville High School student, announced his candidacy for the City Council election to be held the following April. The long-haired young man showed some vision. “You have to accept the reality that Vacaville is going to grow, but you can’t rip out entire orchards right and left and expect the city to remain beautiful and livable,” Morgan was quoted as saying in a newspaper article. Morgan hoped to get young people registered and to the polls because he said that in commu-

nity elections “all of Leisure Town gets out and votes and controls about one-third of the election.” Some of Morgan’s ideas for Vacaville were to fix several dangerous intersections and develop a waste recycling center for glass, aluminum, paper and other products. While some were inspired by such a young Vacavillian throwing his hat into the ring, others had their feathers ruffled by Morgan’s repeated assertion that the city was controlled by “fat cats.” Morgan received about 400 votes in the election and finished seventh in a field of nine candidates. A 1973 follow-up called “Whatever Happened to Benji Morgan” found the former politician working as a dishwasher at a downtown coffee shop. He added a perhaps-prophetic quote as seen through the lens of hindsight: “If Vacaville continues to have too much growth too quickly, it will suddenly wake up to realize it has all of the accompanying problems only it’s too late to do anything about them.” Reach Fairfield humor columnist, accidental local historian and author of the upcoming book “Growing Up In Fairfield, California” Tony Wade at toekneeweighed@gmail.com.

Bay Area district extends air quality advisory for Solano, region for wildfire smoke Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — An air quality advisory that’s linked to smoke from wildfires across Northern California and southern Oregon was extended for Friday across the Bay Area. Smoke coming into the area from the north is expected at higher elevation in the North and East Bay regions, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District reported. Air quality is not expected to exceed the federal health standard. Similar advisories were in place for four consecutive days last week. The advisory was reac-

tivated Wednesday before being extended late Thursday morning for an additional day. Smoky, hazy skies will be visible across the Bay Area and smoke may affect localized regions in Solano, Napa and Sonoma counties, and higher elevation locations, the air district reports. Smoke can irritate the eyes and airways, causing coughing, a scratchy throat and irritated sinuses, and can be particularly bad for those with asthma, emphysema or COPD, the air district reported. The elderly, children and individuals with respiratory illnesses are particularly susceptible and

should take extra precautions to avoid exposure. If the smell of smoke is present, Bay Area residents are urged to protect their health, if possible, by staying inside with windows and doors closed until smoke levels subside. The air district also recommends those affected by smoke set their air conditioning units and car vent systems to re-circulate to prevent outside air from moving inside. The advisory comes a day after portions of Solano County were under a higher level air quality warning, known as a Space the Air alert. Officials with the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District

issued the warning due to high levels of smog across the region. The Bay Area Air Quality Management includes all or parts of the nine Bay Area counties, including western Solano County around Fairfield and Suisun City west to the Vallejo-Benicia area. The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District includes the area around Vacaville, east into Winters and Yolo County.

Solano Public Health sees early signs surge leveling Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Public Health Division reported Wednesday that the current surge in coronavirus cases, which started shortly after July 4, appears to be plateauing. The news comes as hospitalizations continue to rise, up to 127 Wednesday, and as Vallejo is on the cusp of exceeding 11,000 cases since the start of the pandemic. Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, also reported that he has received preliminary reports about the first fatalities from this surge, though the deaths have not been confirmed. There have been 245 Covid-related deaths in the county since the first was recorded in early April 2020. The county reported 294 new cases since Monday’s report, taking the total to 37,350. “Of those, 160 are actu-

The actual 80-day average since Monday, he said, does indicate a leveling off of new cases in the county. “I think we are starting to see indications of plateauing,” Matyas said. Of the 127 residents who are hospitalized with the disease, up from 101 Monday, 29 are in

intensive care units, making up about 50% of all ICU patients. Of all the new cases since the surge began, Public Health reports 10% of those who tested positive were vaccinated. That is a little lower than Matyas had anticipated. “So it may be underestimated,” he said. Additionally, more than half of the cases in this latest surge represent residents between

18 and 50 years old, and the number of cases for those 17 or younger or who are 65 or older is far less than their populations represent as a whole. The county reported 71% of all residents 12 or older have now received at least one vaccine shot, while 59% in that population are fully vaccinated. Vallejo has 10,997 cases after 94 new reports were added to the total since Monday, while Fairfield had 80 added for a total of 10,134 and Vacaville is at 9,764 with 69 new cases, the county reported. Suisun City (2,641) added 18 cases; Dixon (2,087) added 13; Benicia (1,153) added 12; and Rio Vista (458) added eight. There were no new reports in the unincorporated area with a total of 123 cases. The active cases climbed from Monday’s count of 626 to 754. The seven-day positivity testing rate increased from 16.2% to 17.8%, the county reported.

Napa Solano Medical Society wants Solano to mandate masks indoors Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Napa Solano Medical Society is urging Solano County to issue an order mandating the use of face coverings indoors to reduce what it describes as the “prevalence of Covid-19.” “Covid-19 cases have been surging in the county for the past several weeks, leading to a large corresponding spike in hospitalizations,” a letter, signed by Dr. Colleen Townsend, the president of the Napa Solano Medical Society, to the Board of Supervisors, states. “In the past month, the number of people hospitalized in the county due to the virus rose from 13 to 87.

additional health care professionals from which to call on, it is easy to foresee a situation where our hospitals and connected health care facilities become overwhelmed,” Townsend wrote in the letter. “It is imperative that the county take action now to try to prevent further cases and alleviate pressure on our hospitals and health care facilities.” The letter states that the organization represents 1,280 physician and medical student members. Erin Supervisor Hannigan this week requested the board be updated on the Covid-19 situation, including why Solano is the only county in the area not to issue a mask mandate. It is a point emphasized by the medical group as well. “In response to (the

Jailers, juvenile staff not part of vaccine mandate Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — The state’s mandate to vaccinate all congregate facility employees will not apply to the county jail or juvenile detention staff. The Public Health Division said there was some confusion on the matter initially, but a clarification from the state set the matter straight. “The California Department of Public Health issued (Frequently Asked Questions) on Aug. 7 which indicate that correctional facilities (adult or juvenile)

are not covered by the Aug. 5 order mandating vaccines,” a statement issued by the county Department of Health and Social Services said. The department was responding to questions from the Daily Republic about correctional staff, but also whether the mandate would require discussions with the unions that represent those employees who are required to get the vaccines. The vaccinations must be completed by Sept. 30. “The state’s regulating entities will enforce this requirement after See Jailers, Page A4

Vacaville downtown merchants hear report on new Main Street strategy Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — Members of the Downtown Vacaville Business Improvement District heard updates Thursday from city officials on the Main Street portion of the Downtown Development Strategy. The updated strategy plan, presented virtually, will go Tuesday to the Planning Commission for further discussion. The hope now is to have a final plan in place by fall to go to the Planning Commission and City Council for approval. Tyra Hays, senior planner, and Don Burris, economic development services director, made the presentation Thursday that was positively received by downtown merchants, though some of the overall concerns so far center around parking. “The downtown improvement is a catalyst to improvements in all of the area,” Hays said. “The viability of our downtown goal is

Solano County is the only county that has not issued such a mandate,” the letter states. “Issuing a mandate now, as opposed to later, can only help to reduce transmission of the virus in the coming weeks. It also demonstrates a clear message that the health of the public is a top priority.” The Napa Solano Medical Society contends that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared masks are a proven and effective way to reduce transmission.

Everything has been created to support that goal, though it does affect parking.” The biggest change presented in the Main Street plan is converting existing street parking from diagonal to parallel parking. That could lead to the removal of 50 to 60 existing spots. But officials assured merchants that there are still currently 13 parking lots within a five minute walk to the downtown area. Many street parking locations are for two hour windows and others for more extended time. This will continue to be studied, city staffers said. Some downtown merchants expressed concerns about the short duration while others, like restaurants owners, like it to change out the

Matyas also has stated that issuing such an order puts the onus on businesses to enforce the rule, creating possible conflicts with customers that he thinks are unnecessary. Board Chairman John Vasquez did not return a call seeking comment.

customers quicker. Maps of the downtown radius show that it is similar in size to the entire Nut Tree shopping area and to the Galleria Mall in Roseville. Most available parking lots are in that radius. The conceptual plan also calls for “streetscaping” that includes gateway entry designs at the west end of Main and Parker streets, and the east end of Main and Davis streets. Decorative intersections are in the plans as well. There would also be more signage directing people to the downtown area. Sidewalks along Main Street would be expanding up to 6 feet. That would allow more restaurants to expand outdoor dining, and also allow

merchants to display products outside. “Widening the sidewalk increases pedestrian foot traffic by 6%,” Burris said. “Adding streetscape adds another 6% who want to explore downtown. Adding outdoor dinning, and outdoor retail items, and that increases it 10 to 15% as well. Making it look good is great for business in a financial way.” Town Square would also be expanded with a larger courtyard for pedestrian movement that would move closer to Ulatis Creek and near Andrews Park. There would be no downtown street closures. Plans also include realtime awareness apps for phones to help people find parking, lanes for bicycles and other small transportation vehicles like scooters, more parking enforcement and more safety measures like increased lighting are also being discussed.

Solano a long way from seeing fed infrastructure dollars Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The votes to pass the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill were still echoing in the U.S. Senate chamber when the Solano County Board of Supervisors was told there is a lot to do before any funding actually gets to local jurisdictions. “I think it’s going to be very interesting to see how the infrastructure programs . . . (cross) the line to President Biden’s desk,” Joe Krahn, with the lobbying firm Paragon Government Relations, told the board Tuesday. The supervisors were told the package still had to pass the

House of Representatives, and interestingly enough, it is the Democrats who are waiting there with changes. One group the House, the board was told, has said they will not vote on the infrastructure plan until the larger so-called “human infrastructure” plan is passed, while others have amendments to the package. The human infrastructure plan is the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill, the framework for which also passed the Senate this week, and will be taken up by the House when it returns to session. “By no means is this a done deal,” Krahn said. The board was told that the earmarked projects

Vaca council hires housing strategy corporation Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — The City Council unanimously agreed Tuesday to contract with Economic Planning Systems Inc. to prepare a new comprehensive housing strategy with a completion goal of February 2022. The company was selected by city staff based on its prior experience working with similar municipalities, and for its understanding of the work and scope of the project and ability to deliver on it, city officials report. Planning Economic Systems Inc. has West Coast offices in Oakland, Sacramento, Denver and Los Angeles. The total cost of the report will be $120,927 with $100,000 coming from the nondepartmental budget and the final $20,927 from Measure M funding. The company will prepare a comprehensive strategy that will include data analysis, a study of current materials, public outreach and develop strategies for future demands. Vice Mayor Nolan Sullivan called it “one of the most exciting projects” the council has dealt with in recent days and that it is needed. Sullivan emphasized the need for public input, particularly from those who need affordable housing. “We really want to build community, and that includes looking at parks, schools and retail centers,” Sullivan said. “We have neighborhoods now where kids can’t walk a block to a park and seniors can’t walk to a library.” Councilwoman Jeanette Wylie stressed the importance of getting public feedback before the fact because the council gets a lot of feedback after

the fact. She also pushed for affordable housing and not “just trying to get it in where we can.” Developing a strategy that includes building charging stations to meet the energy needs of the future was also a point of interest for Wylie and other council members. “Everyone is concerned about how their kids are going to be able to afford to live here who want to live here,” Councilman Michael Silva said. Councilman Greg Ritchie said he would like an educational program to be a part of the study, teaching and helping residents in the process to buy a home. “We really need to help people become homeowners,” Ritchie said. In other action, the council: n Continued to move forward in its compliance with Senate Bill 1338, the need to reduce from landfills the amount of organic waste that creates greenhouse emissions. All cities in California must comply with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s initiative by January 2022. n Adopted a change to the language in the Municipal Code to include organic waste. Organic material like bones, meat, poultry, egg shells and shellfish will be able to be thrown out with yard waste refuge beginning in January. Residents will receive a small kitchen collector to go with their three large outdoor toters to collect scrapes. The increase disposal costs will be 4.2% to meet the new standards. n Took steps to amend the portion of the Municipal Code dealing with commercial truck drivers parking their rigs in or near residential neighborhoods. It has been a particular problem on Crescent Drive, according to council.

Vaca Parks and Rec announces new scholarship program Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — The Parks and Recreation Department is now accepting applications for a new scholarship program. Qualifying families can receive a $1,000 scholarship to enroll children 17 and younger in youth programs. To qualify, families must fall under the Solano County low-income threshold provided by the Califormnia Department of Housing and Community Development income

limits for 2021. Those income limits may be found at hcd. ca.gov/grants-funding/ incomelimits/state-andfederal-income-limits/docs/ income-limits-2021.pdf. This $100,000 scholarship funding was allocated by the City Council during the annual budget process. Funding comes from the city’s Measure M sales tax. “Parks and Recreation programs are vital to a child’s development and should be accessible to all See Program, Page A9

for Lake Solano and the former Rockville Trails Preserve are still in play for funding. The county has requested $867,648 for improvements at Lake Solano, in part due to the damage from the LNU Lightning Complex Fire. The other park project is to complete trail access for people with disabilities at the Patwino Worrtla Kodoi Dihi Open Space Park. Two additional transportation projects totaling $8 million – the Highway 37 and Fairgrounds Drive interchange project and the Vaca Valley Parkway and Interstate 505 Multimodal Improvement Project – are now on different funding tracts.

The federal lobbyists also indicated that the final guidelines and rules are expected at the end of the month for what uses are eligible for the $87 million in American Rescue Plan funds the county is scheduled to receive. The federal update was followed by a state legislative review by Karen Lang of Shaw, Yoder, Antwih, Schmeltzer and Lange Inc. “There is an incredible amount of money,” Lang said. A big chunk of that, $7 billion, is going toward broadband improvements and expansion, with a particular focus on rural areas. The federal funding also targets broadband expansion.

Board Chairman John Vasquez wondered if those funds could be used for a dual purpose of creating wildfire towers that could also act as standards for broadband infrastructure. Vasquez also wanted answers on biomass energy, and how farmers who are facing prohibitions on burning orchard prunings are going to benefit from turning that material into an energy source. One of the sticking points, it seems, is the pollution that could be created by having to transport the material to biomass plants, and therefore offsetting the benefits of not burning the cuttings in the first place. A lot of the questions

the board members had could not be directly answered as the Legislature is still working out details. Lang described it as “crafting programs while the plane in flying.” “This has been utterly bizarre,” Lang said of the legislative session and budget year. “We’ve developed four budgets and there is more budgeting coming.” She did note that the local jurisdictions will have until Dec. 31 to expend federal CARES Act funding funneled through the state, an extension on the first deadline.

Fairfield police recover loaded handgun Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A traffic stop Sunday night by a Fairfield police officer led to the seizure of the 131st firearm in the city in the past six months. Officer Zach Tuss conducted the traffic stop on a Dodge SUV for a

suspected Vehicle Violation code, according to a Police Department press release. Marijuana and a loaded Glock 276 40-caliber handgun with an extended 22-round magazine were seized, police report. Michael Alexander Delgado, 21, of Suisun City, was booked into Solano County jail on

suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon in his car, for carrying a loaded firearm in a public place, for carrying a loaded handgun and not being the owner, for having a large capacity magazine and for possession of marijuana for sale. Bail was set at $35,000 for the five misdemeanors allegations.

Delgado was no longer in custody as of Wednesday afternoon and had not yet had a court appearance yet, according to jail and court records. This was the 17th firearm that Tuss has recovered in the past seven months for the Police Department, according to the press release.

Fairfield police to stage DUI checkpoint Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A DUI and driver’s license checkpoint will be in place Friday in the area of Air Base Parkway and Dover Avenue, the Fairfield Police Department announced. “DUI checkpoints like this one are placed in locations based on

collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests, affording the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public,” a statement released by the department said. “The deterrent effect of high-visibility enforce-

ment using both DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols has proven to lower the number of (people) killed and injured in alcohol- or drug-impaired crashes. Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20% when well-publicized proactive DUI operations are conducted routinely,” the

statement said. The result of a DUI arrest can include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspensions and other expenses that can exceed $10,000. “Designate a driver or call for a ride. If you see someone driving you believe to be under the influence, call 911,” the police said.

Alameda woman dies in 5-vehicle crash on I-80 Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — A 33-year-old Alameda woman died Thursday when she allowed her Toyota Camry to drift into the center median of eastbound Interstate 80, corrected back onto the highway and collided with a Hyundai,

the California Highway Patrol reported. The collision at 4:54 a.m. triggered a five-vehicle pileup at the Interstate 505 interchange, during which two other individuals sustained what the CHP described as minor injuries. Both were taken to Kaiser Permanente Vacaville Medical Center.

The Camry driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Her identity was withheld by the Solano County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office pending notification of family. None of those involved in the crash were from Solano County, and two others involved sustained no injuries, the CHP reported.

Commuter traffic was backed up and slowed through Vacaville near the Peña Adobe exit for several hours after the crash. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call Officer Michael Barday at 428-2100.

Richards, Bialik to both host ‘Jeopardy!’ Tribune Content Agency A new era of “Jeopardy!” arrived Wednesday, with executive producer Mike Richards and actress Mayim Bialik named the hosts of the long-running game show. Richards becomes the full-time host of the weekday syndicated “Jeopardy!” broadcasts, while Bialik will lead special editions of the show. “We are thrilled to begin the next chapter of America’s Favorite Quiz Show with Mike hosting our daily show and Mayim hosting new versions of ‘Jeopardy!,’” Ravi Ahuja of Sony Pictures said in a statement. “We took this decision incredibly seriously. A tremendous amount of work and deliberation has gone into it, perhaps more than has ever gone

into the selection of hosts for a show – deservedly so because it’s ‘Jeopardy!’ and we are following the incomparable Alex Trebek.” Guest hosts had been filling in during the months since longtime “Jeopardy!” star Alex Trebek’s death last November at age 80 following a fight with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Under the new set up, Bialik – who starred as Amy Farrah Fowler on “The Big Bang Theory” – will host prime-time specials and spinoffs of the questionand-answer game show. That includes a “Jeopardy! National College Championship” special that debuts next year. Bialik and Richards both guest hosted episodes of “Jeopardy!” this year as part of the show’s rotating lineup.

A8 Friday, August 13, 2021 — DAILY REPUBLIC

Census From Page One the second slowest rate of growth, after the Great Depression era, in the country’s history. The first round of census data, released in April, revealed which states gained or lost seats in Congress based on their populations. This time, the information is more granular, examining how counties, cities and communities gained or lost residents. The slowdown in growth was particularly pronounced on the county level, with 52% having fewer residents in 2020 than they did 10 years ago. Population increases were concentrated largely in metro areas. It will take days or weeks for states, universities and political operatives to process the

raw data into a userfriendly format that can be plugged into map-making programs. Then the haggling over district boundaries can begin in earnest. While drawing lines has always been an exercise in consolidating power, this cycle is expected to be especially contentious because of a hyperpolarized climate and a compressed time frame. The consequences will lock in the political map until the 2030 census and more immediately set the stage for next year’s battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives. With Democrats holding such a narrow margin in the House, some analysts expect that Republicans can pick up enough seats in 2022 to win the majority just through partisan gerrymandering alone. Josh Silver, chief executive of RepresentUs, a nonprofit group that backs

its longest war and withdraws nearly all military forces. It especially does not want a Saigonreminiscent, last-minute rescue of Americans at the embassy if Taliban forces march into the capital. The administration will also speed up the processing of special visas for Afghan translators and others who worked for U.S. military and diplomatic missions, part of a program Washington created to attempt to provide a haven for the former employees. But the process has moved slowly and many Afghans say they cannot even reach Kabul nor cross Taliban-controlled borders to avail themselves of the visas. Senior national security officials launched a round of urgent consultations in the last 24 hours with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani but have announced no other new plans. The Biden administration insists it will not change course in its withdrawal of U.S. military forces by Sept. 1, and has placed the responsibil-

ity for security squarely on the shoulders of the weak Afghan government and its army. “They’ve got to fight for themselves, fight for their nation,” President Joe Biden said earlier this week. “But they’ve got to want to fight.” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Thursday that the removal of American officials from the Kabul Embassy and from the airport will likely include airlifts. Three infantry battalions, approximately 3,000 soldiers, will join 650 U.S. service members already deployed in Kabul, Kirby said. “This is a temporary mission,” Kirby said, to ensure a “safe and orderly” removal of people. In Afghanistan, some Taliban forces have pierced the critical city of Kandahar, the country’s second largest, and are carrying out guerrilla attacks, according to news reports from the region on Thursday. The Taliban has already captured Herat, Afghanistan’s third largest city,

the reports said, and has taken 11 of the country’s 34 provinces. “Herat, the largest and most strategic province in the western part of the country, was also conquered,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid boasted on Twitter. “The provincial building, police headquarters and many other facilities came under the control of mujahedeen. The soldiers laid down their weapons and joined the mujahedeen. The surrender of the troops is ongoing.” The Taliban often refers to itself as mujahedeen. U.S. officials say they remain prepared to assist Afghan security forces with any tool except ground troops. But at the same time, they are openly blaming a lack of united leadership in the Afghan government and the erosion in fighting forces from years of corruption for the dramatic failures that have allowed the Taliban to advance.

should have come to the Board of Supervisors. “It is something I am considering bringing to the Board of Supervisors,” said Mashburn, who qualifed the statement by saying it will depend on what he finds out about the Fair Board’s authority, among other questions. Hannigan and Brown support the Fair Board’s action. “I thanked (Birdseye) for her vote. I have no problem with her vote at all,” said Brown, who did not speak to her leading up to the meeting. “I’m glad that it’s happened.” Hannigan said she does not think there is a direct link from the gun shows to the violence in the community, but still thinks it sends the right message. “We don’t need to be promoting gun sales,” Hannigan said, who added that she did not discuss the matter with her representatives, either. “I absolutely do support the decision. I thought it should

have been made long ago,” she said. Attempts to reach Code of the West officials for reaction to the vote were unsuccessful. A phone message was left at its El Dorado office. Jason Smith, with Code of the West, did speak at the Fair Board meeting, but that was prior to the board’s vote. The lone member of the public to speak on the issue favored continuing the gun shows. Mashburn said he is aware of others who tried to speak on the matter, but for whatever reason, could not connect with the board. Some may have gone to the fairgrounds, but may have been unable to get into the building, he said. Mike Ioakimedes, the executive director and chief executive officer of the fairgrounds, said he had not received any complaints, and the building was open. He said the only reaction has been a couple of emails from the public supporting the board’s vote. Code of the West

has a show planned Oct. 9-10 at the fairgrounds, and another in December. The fairgrounds has typically hosted four or five shows annually, which generated between $40,000 and $50,000 in revenue. Spering said he hopes the fairgrounds’ financial condition was considered when the decision was made. He said he does not think the Board of Supervisors should intercede now, calling the decision the Fair Board’s to make. The issue came up because of pending legislation that would prevent gun shows from being held on state-owned property, including fairgrounds. That bill would not affect the grounds in Vallejo because the fairgrounds are owned by the county. If the bill passes, however, it would prevent the Dixon May Fair from hosting gun shows there. There are private venues that host gun shows in the county as well.

Oakland. His body was found in the agricultural ditch at the side of West Dixon Avenue, just 1,000 feet away from Interstate 80. Trask’s body is with the Solano County Coroner’s Office pending an autopsy. A sheriff’s deputy was flagged down at 11:15 a.m. Tuesday by a passer-by who reported possibly seeing a man in a ditch. The deputy went to the area and found the man’s body, according to a press release from the Solano County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s Inves-

tigation Bureau Mobile Command center was set up at the location and remained there most of the day as West Dixon Avenue was blocked off between Schroeder and Nunes roads in rural Dixon. Harris said Thursday, after what he characterized as “an extensive investigation” for what was believed to be suspicious foul play, those of being suspecting involved in the killing were found in the area of north Sacramento. Placer County sheriff’s deputies and California

Highway Patrol officers from Auburn assisted in the arrests, Harris said. Each person suspected in the killing were interviewed and the search warrants were obtained, Harris said. Harris said based on the information gathered by detectives, authorities believe this was an isolated incident, that it was unrelated to the area and that there is no threat to local residents. The Sheriff’s Office has also released Trask’s cause of death, pending the ongoing investigation.

Census data released Thursday show the United States’ diversifying demographics. redistricting reform, predicted that politicians will use the results to create advantageous districts “more severely than they ever have.” “That’s a tall order when you consider that ... the current gerrymanders in the United States are so bad you can actually draw the alphabet with congressional districts,” Silver said, referencing some idiosyncratically shaped districts. “And it’s about to get worse.” The decennial redistricting process has

From Page One that. U.S. officials and human rights groups say they are already receiving numerous reports of atrocities by Taliban forces, including executions of surrendering soldiers. “The embassy remains open,” Price said – though he would not say if that meant in its current location. “We will complete our priority work.” Already, the State Department had reduced the number of its “nonessential” personnel in Kabul, once site of one of the largest U.S. diplomatic missions in the world, and is constantly reviewing broader evacuation plans, officials said. U.S. officials hope to reduce the number of U.S. citizens in Afghanistan to avoid the need to mount large rescue operations if Kabul falls, which some analysts now believe could happen within weeks as the United States winds down

Guns From Page One Norma Placido. Both voted in favor of the gun show ban, and each cited escalating gun violence in Vallejo as the primary reason. the 1st District represents much of Vallejo. Kari Birdseye represents Supervisor Monica Brown’s 2nd District, part of which includes Vallejo. She, too, voted in favor of the gun show ban. The two representatives for Supervisor Mitch Mashburn’s 5th District – Valerie Williams and Lee Williams – split on the issue, with Valerie Williams joining the majority. Mashburn said he does not agree with the decision, but said he did not speak to either board member prior to the meeting. He also intends to check into whether the Fair Board had the authority to act on the matter, or whether that policy consideration

ongoing action, the Census Bureau data release Thursday marks an important milestone, said Matt Rexroad, a Republican redistricting consultant based in Woodland, California. “Those maps will start appearing to be more functional, because they have real data behind them. Suddenly, they’ll start to matter, so people will flip out even a little bit,” he said. In California, much of the focus will be on the boundaries of 52 congressional districts, which all must be roughly the same size in population. With the state losing a congressional seat for the first time in its history, many political observers are watching which region – and which incumbent politicians – may be disadvantaged by the new maps.

one district.) The ripple effects of the delayed data release have been apparent for months, as candidate recruitment, fundraising and messaging to voters have been complicated by districts’ unknown boundaries. But the process of drawing maps got underway even without the population detail, said Michael Li, a redistricting expert with the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law. There have been public overtures such as meeting with communities to get feedback on what changes they’d like to see from the current maps, as well as strategizing behind closed doors. “I guarantee you that in almost every state, partisan interests have gone ahead and started drawing maps,” Li said. “They’re trying to figure out what they can do and what they can get away with.” Even with all the

Anderson’s walk-off HR wins Field of Dreams game Tribune Content Agency DYERSVILLE, Iowa — Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito stared at the batter’s eye shaped as a barn in the cornfield beyond the center-field wall. Standing in the dugout along the third-base line wearing a vintage Sox uniform that was inspired by what the team wore in the early 20th century, Giolito took in all the festivities associated with playing a game in

a cornfield. “It blew me away,” Giolito said of his first reaction to seeing the temporary 8,000-seat ballpark on the Dyersville, Iowa, farm where the Academy Award-nominated 1989 movie “Field of Dreams” was filmed. “I was expecting to see a lot of corn in the outfield, but I wasn’t expecting these kinds of attention to detail in the dugout. “And the batter’s eye really gets my attention. They obviously put a lot of

work into this.” It was a Hollywood ending for the Sox as Tim Anderson hit a two-run, walk-off homer to right in the ninth, giving the Sox a thrilling 9-8 victory. The Yankees scored four runs in the top of the inning to take an 8-7 lead. The Sox entered the ninth leading 7-4 with Liam Hendriks in to close. He allowed a two-out, two-run homer to Aaron Judge, his second home run of the game. Giancarlo

Stanton put the Yankees ahead with another two-run homer. Seby Zavala walked with one out in the bottom half, and Anderson followed with the game-winner. It was the fourth homer of the game for the Sox. First baseman José Abreu hit a solo home run in the first, and left fielder Eloy Jiménez hit a three-run blast as part of a fourrun third inning. Zavala hit a two-run homer in the fourth.

New coach King looks to bring glory days back to Mustangs PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Rodriguez High football team has had just four teams in its 19-year history of varsity play finish over .500. Three were coached by David Fishleigh and two had Myles King at quarterback. King is ready to make it five as he takes over as head coach of the Mustangs, a position with a revolving door that has seen 11 men precede him with none lasting more than three seasons. King, however, is in for the long haul, which he knows won’t be easy. He’s familiar with the program and its players, having

served as its junior varsity coach with a 3-1-1 record in the recent spring season. The 2021 Mustangs – fall edition – return four starters on offense and four on defense. Leading the defense are defensive backs Leroy Butler and Malachi Jones, and defensive lineman Noah Gresham, all All-Monticello Empire League second team picks in the spring. From stats on maxpreps.com, Bryant led Rodriguez with two interceptions, four passes defensed and two fumble recoveries, Jones topped the squad with 6.3 tackles per game and Gresham was the sacks leader with 4½. Others back on defense include Gerald Certeza at

The 49ers bet against the Raiders – and it’s already paying off on defensive line Dieter Kurtenbach MERCURY NEWS

he 49ers were in a pinch this offseason. With the salary cap remaining flat and big contracts already given to elite players, they needed a way to turn a little bit of money into a big return. So the Niners went to Las Vegas. And – get this – things actually worked out. The 49ers’ defensive line is the heartbeat of their team. In 2019, when San Francisco went to the Super Bowl, the Niners’ fast and furious line went eight, nine players deep, and they wreaked havoc on opponents. The Niners feel like the team’s defensive line is back at its 2019 level. Much of that

ANALYSIS confidence comes from the return of Nick Bosa and the emergence of Javon Kinlaw, but part of it is this team has serious depth with two – perhaps now three – former Raiders players, signed on the cheap this offseason. “You know, we didn’t anticipate Arden Key and Hurst to become available, but the Raiders made a decision that they did and we pounced on it,” 49ers general John Lynch said at the start of training camp. “We think they’re good football players who can help us. And so, you know, the more quality depth we can add at that position we think it’s a good thing for us. And they know

they’re going to come here and get coached. They know we have a philosophy that allows those guys to shine and they know they’re going to be surrounded by quality players.” Lynch’s comments look prophetic as preseason game No. 1 looms Saturday. To those who didn’t spend much time in Napa or Alameda, Hurst has been the surprise of the Niners’ defense this training camp. Hurst isn’t the best all-around defensive tackle – he’s a bit on the smaller side and his hands aren’t heavy – but he has one skill that is seriously polished and exceptionally valuable: he shoots the gap. I’ve seen it too many times in training camp 11-on-11 drills to count – Hurst bursts off the line

FAIRFIELD — Carter Bins didn’t get to play long enough with the Arkansas Travelers – just 11 games – to put down roots before being traded by the Seattle Mariners to the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. The Rodriguez High graduate, who plays catcher for the Double-A Altoona Curve, made a successful return to Little Rock by hitting.300 in a five-game series (6-for-20) against the Travelers, including .400 (6-for-15) over the final four games. For the week, including two games against the Erie SeaWolves, Bins batted .333 (6-for-18) with a double and two RBIs, extending his hitting streak for six games. He’s batting .252 for the season with a .395 on-base percentage and .421 slugging percentage. Jesse Scholtens (Rodriguez) is still on the active See Alumni, Page B2

of scrimmage so fast you immediately look to the referees. No, he wasn’t offsides, but now he’s past the offensive line and in the backfield. The play is over for the offense. Hurst might not be an every-down tackle – he’s not going to push-back double teams or push an anchored guard into the ground – but it’s easy to imagine him being on the field on passing downs or when there’s a guard and center combination that the Niners want to exploit. He’s proven to be an outstanding fit for the 49ers’ “all-gas, no-breaks” front and a significant upgrade over Solomon Thomas, who was supposed to be that kind of player for the 49ers for the

Tribune Content Agency Given a seemingly endless supply of free baserunners by a generous Cleveland pitching staff, the streaking A’s finished off a three-game sweep on the road Thursday. Beneficiaries of 10 walks and three hit batters by Cleveland pitchers, the A’s drove those runners home with regularity behind ace starter Chris Bassitt and won 17-0. It was the seventh straight win for the A’s, who improved to 67-48 and can get to 20 games over .500 for the first time this season when they open a three-game series Friday in Texas against the Rangers. Given that the Rangers entered play Thursday with a .351 winning percentage that was the second-worst in the American League,

last few years. The Raiders signed Thomas this past offseason, effectively choosing him over Hurst. The Niners are thrilled with that de-facto trade so far. Meanwhile, reports out of Nevada indicate that Thomas might be on the chopping block. The Raiders also let Key – an LSU product who was considered a possible first-round pick before a worrisome 2017 season on the Bayou – walk this offseason. The Raiders selected him in the third round of the 2018 draft and threw him into the fire when they traded Khalil Mack to the Bears. To say that Key struggled with the Raiders would be an understatement to Raiders fans. It seemed that he was never able to translate his superior athleticism into effective rushes, registering just three sacks in 27 games. But the film tells a different story – Key has heavy, lineman-moving hands and impressive moves and bend off the edge. He’s a solid pass rusher if he’s in the right position. That was not the case in Oakland or Las Vegas. Key said this weekend that he was playing a “tight-five” technique with the Raiders, meaning he lined up face-to-face or just off the shoulder of the offensive tackle. With the Niners, he’s Bosa’s backup at “widenine”, which means he’s outside of the tight end. “I wanted to get out of there,” Key said of the Raiders. “It was just bad all around for me. Bad system. It just wasn’t the

right fit for me. I had to get out.” Playing Key at 5-technique seems so ridiculous given his speed off the edge and one-onone ability that I thought he was exaggerating in that press conference. But I popped on a few 2020 Raiders games over the weekend and, sure enough, there was Key, lined up across from the tackle snap after snap. That’s the Raiders’ system, though. We can debate the merits of different defensive fronts some other day. For now, I’ll say that Key is in a better situation for his skills and he’s looked like a solid depth piece for the Niners in 2021. The Niners are so thrilled with Raiders castoffs, they signed another one this week – Shilique Calhoun, the Raiders’ third-round pick in 2016. He faces a serious

uphill climb to make the roster, but he could be a practice-squad guy for San Francisco this year. But why not roll the dice again? The Niners’ strategy of signing former Raiders’ defensive linemen is reminiscent of something the Warriors did during their first season at Chase Center. It was never officially declared in a press conference or post-game huddle, but the Warriors, in the postKevin Durant era, looked to take advantage of the worst teams in basketball at the time – the Suns and the Timberwolves. The Dubs signed Marquese Chriss because they were sure his original team, the Suns, had no idea how to develop him at 19 years old. Chris had two solid seasons for the Dubs. Later, the Warriors traded for Andrew Wiggins and what turned out to be the No. 7 pick last

month’s NBA draft because they bet the Timberwolves weren’t competent enough to maximize Wiggins’ talent or avoid a bad season. They were right on both counts. The Niners are doing the same thing with the Raiders here. They’re betting on talent. They’re also betting on something I’m sure most Raiders fans will echo: the Raiders defensive coaches didn’t know what they were doing with that talent. The Niners feel vindicated in their bets at this early juncture of the season. Both Hurst and Key signed one-year, $1,045,000 contracts – a pittance for solid depth at the teams’ most important positions. The only question now is how much return the Niners can get on those investments and if that profit can buy them a trip to Los Angeles in February.

this youth generation

Attentive, inquisitive parenting holds value

hen my daughter was still in high school several years ago, she reluctantly revealed to me that some of her friends stopped including her or inviting her to events because, in her words, “Your daddy asks too many questions.” I was amused at first but then realized how this could have affected my baby girl at the time. We all know how critical social identity is for teens and the emotional impact it could have on them. As a parent, is it doing too much to question their every move? Is there a healthy balance between being inquisiDeon D. Price tive and too controlling? Can parents be attentive yet not nosy when it comes their child’s personal business? Let’s consider this scenario. A teenage boy asked his parent if he could go to a local amusement park with his high school friends. What questions should be asked, if any, before permission is given? How much will it cost? Who is driving? How many will be in the car? What time will you return? Now depending on the answer to these initial questions, there should be follow-up questions. It turns out that the friend who is driving is the same age as the boy. He is also 16 with no driver’s license. Would you still be OK with your child going? In this real-life situation, the parent not only did not give her son permission but also offered to drive them herself to the amusement park. Simply asking the right questions could have prevented a laundry list of problems. Teenage African-American boys in a car and a driver with no license is a magnet for trouble. We can only imagine the potential disaster this could be. If pulled over, (for the Vehicle Code violation 12500), the car will be towed, the driver would be penalized, fined and given 16 hours of community service. His license will also be suspended for six months when obtained. For parents and youth workers, the question often surfaces as to how much freedom we should allow to the youth we are responsible for. Do we micromanage them throughout their youth until they reach responsible adulthood? As challenging as it may be, it is in the youth’s best interest to have an inquisitive and attentive adult in their life. A responsible adult usually has the life experience and wisdom to see potential hazards that a youth may not. They also tend to help their youth make wise decisions with sound advice that will undoubtedly benefit the youth. The village approach to youth service means taking advantage of resources and people within the community. It is a collective effort from community-based organizations, public service agencies, local mentors, youth sports programs and public school systems. A child in the neighborhood a generation ago was looked after by various members of that local community. If they were out cutting up in public, a neighbor would let them have an earful even before they could even get disciplined by their parents. There were eyes everywhere on you. Nowadays, we live in a “mind your own business” culture when it comes to monitoring the activities of youth in the community. I maintain, that when it comes to the wellbeing of youth, it is my business. It’s all our business. When community members show an interest in the proper development of youth, that community thrives in many ways. So yes, let’s all pay attention and ask questions to help improve the quality of life for the youth in our community. Deon D. Price is an author and youth life skills coach who lives in Fairfield.

ably be forced to alter the election calendar accordingly. Obviously, candidates can’t seek offices if they don’t know the parameters of their districts. As deadlines and candidate filing periods move forward, if they do, they squeeze the campaign period for the June 7 primary election that will set the stage for the Nov. 8 general election. Meanwhile, the compressed period for the redistricting commission to do its work carries its own uncertainties. For example, the state will have one less congressional seat, thanks to its very slow population growth during the past decade, so there will be more movement than usual in the boundaries of the 52 remaining districts. As commission members go through the districts one by one – and even block by block – they will be under increasing pressure to preserve what are called “communities of interest” due to heightened sensitivity about racial, ethnic, economic and gender disparities. Finally, political conflicts these days frequently wind up in court. Those who believe the new maps disadvantage them will not hesitate to seek redress in the courts – a factor that could add even more hitches in the electoral system.

One of the nation’s nastiest governors is resigning his post. That would be New York’s Andrew Cuomo, of course. Don’t feel too sorry for him, though. He got more than $5 million from publisher Simon & Shuster for his chest-beating tale of his heroic taming of the coronavirus. He accomplished that by putting thousands of infected senior citizens in the state's nursing homes. In response to complaints from young women who worked for him that he was a groper, Governor Cuomo claimed that all 11 women came on to him, and he nobly resisted. Take a look at some of their pictures and then to a full-face shot of Cuomo and ask yourself if that rendition of events is even remotely possible. Closer to home, there's another governor who’s in trouble. That would be Gavin Newsom, of course. If the recall succeeds Sept. 14, the question is, who will take his place?

With new sitcom and comedy tour, Ms. Pat may be the next Roseanne

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency By the age of 15, Patricia Williams had been the victim of sexual abuse and given birth to two children. A few years later, she became a drug dealer and got shot twice. Now Williams, who performs under the stage name Ms. Pat, is one of comedy’s rising stars. She’s headlining a new sitcom that debuted Thursday, the same evening she kicks off a six-show run at the Mall of America’s House of Comedy. “I think you need to have some kind of struggle in life to be funny,” Williams said. “I’ve heard comedians complaining that their moms threw out their lunch. Please. Can you go rob a bank so you can write a funny joke?” In “The Ms. Pat Show,” streaming on BET Plus, the 49-year-old comic plays Patricia Carson, a slightly fictionalized version of herself – a convicted felon doing stand-up on the road while her husband manages the household. She returns to their Indiana home often enough to provide the kind of tough love Roseanne Barr was pounding out in the ‘90s. Their living room even resembles the one the Conners bickered in on “Roseanne.” “We only stay married because you have good health care,” she tells her husband in her version of flirting. To teach her kids to be ready for anything, she hurls fruit at them when they least expect it. If there was a swear jar in the kitchen, it’d be overflowing with $100 bills. But the character is also devoted to her children. In the first episode’s most striking scene, she tears into a school principal who’s trying to discipline her daughter – and mistakes Pat for a single mom. “I don’t do cartwheels or dance. I tell the truth,” Williams said last month during a phone interview from Atlanta. “I do a bit on stage about my relationship with my granddaughter. After one performance, a woman came up to me and said, ‘Omigod, you really talk to your granddaughter like that?’ Of course. And behind closed doors, so do you. I’m just bold enough to bring it to the stage.” Williams’ approach may have been a little too real for major platforms. Fox and Hulu expressed interest in adapting her memoir, “Rabbit: The Autobiography of Ms. Pat,” especially since the executive-producing team includes “Empire” co-creator Lee Daniels and Brian Grazer, who runs Imagine Entertainment with Ron Howard. Both networks ended up passing, even though legendary producer Norman Lear (“All in the Family”) was so impressed with the pilot that he

Ms. Pat attends the BET Awards 2021 at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, June 27. requested a meeting. The show’s 10 episodes will now stream on BET Plus, launched two years ago by the Black-centered cable network. “I learned that Hollywood doesn’t try something until it’s already successful,” Williams said. “In this show, you’ve got a bold mom with a certain background out on the road following her dream while her husband is home chopping vegetables. That’s not normally what they do on sitcoms.” Williams is familiar with the sound of doors slamming shut. She toiled away in relative obscurity for more than a decade before landing a spot on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” in 2015 and putting out her first stand-up album two years later. “I’m no overnight success,” she said. “I wonder about comics who get famous right away because of some video they did. Are they really ready? You spend the first five years on stage learning how to hold the mike correctly. Then you spend the next five years trying to figure out who you are and why you’re up there.” If she ever felt herself feeling down about the fate of “The Ms. Pat Show,” Daniels – the Oscar-nominated director of “Precious” – was there to boost her confidence. “After Hulu shot the pilot,

everyone thought we had our foot in the door. Then they didn’t pick it up,” she said. “Thank God for Lee Daniels. He believed in me. He kept saying, ‘We’re going to find a home for this show.’ I know Hollywood. Hollywood sells dreams and I’m not in the practice of buying dreams. You just have to hang in there.” Williams brought that same attitude to the pandemic, which she spent sequestered with her eight kids, four of whom she adopted from her sister who was struggling with drug addiction. She worked on several home projects, including painting the basement and remodeling two bathrooms. She also binge-watched “Property Brothers.” “If you ever want a divorce, just get your wife to start watching HGTV,” she said. “Pretty soon, you’ll be doing so many projects, you’ll break your budget.” While Williams waits for HGTV to offer her a show, she’s working on screenplays for feature films. She’d love to get a chance to show the world her dramatic chops. “I’m still learning how to act, but eventually, I’d like to have a role where I get to cry my heart out,” she said. “I’ve also always wanted to play a stripper. But I’ve got stretch marks.”

He explained that North’s two-spade cue-bid raise showed at least gameinvitational values in hearts. South, with his likely useless spade king, settled for game. Most declarers drew trumps, cashed the other club winners and played a diamond, covered by the jack (key play showing his sequence), queen and king. Now West knew it was safe to return a diamond. The declarers won with the ace and exited in diamonds, hoping West would have to win the trick. But he didn’t, and East pushed a spade through South’s king to defeat the contract.

Kidman teams up with ‘Big Little Lies’ writers again in new drama Chuck Barney East Bay Times

on’t Miss: “Nine Perfect Strangers” – The first time Nicole Kidman teamed up with screenwriter David E. Kelley and Aussie author Liane Moriarty it resulted in the blockbuster miniseries “Big Little Lies.” Could they have another mega hit on their hands? Kelley adapts Moriarty’s bestselling novel about nine stressed-out city dwellers who attend a secluded health-andwellness resort seeking to reinvigorate their lives. They soon realize that this place – and the mysterious woman (Kidman) who runs it – are nothing like they expected. The stellar cast includes, among others, Melissa McCarthy, Luke Evans, Regina Hall and Bobby Cannavale. (Wednesday, Hulu). Other bets: Sunday: As the family drama “Chesapeake Shores” launches Season 5, Abby (Meghan Ory) reflects on her conversation with Trace (Jesse Metcalfe) after their kiss on the beach during the Season 4 finale. Metcalfe since has departed, leaving Abby – and the show – to go in a different direction. (8 p.m. ET, Hallmark Channel). Sunday: The new drama series “Heels” is a story about the men and women who chase their dreams in the the hardscrabble world of small-town pro wrestling. It follows a family-owned promotion in Georgia where two sibling rivals (Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig) spar over their late father’s legacy. (9 p.m., Starz). Sunday: “The White Lotus,” this summer’s most addictive drama series, finishes off its run and it’s time for our ultra-wealthy, self-centered tourists to check out of their luxury Maui hotel. It’s also time to find who was in that coffin being loaded onto the plane. (9 p.m., HBO). Monday: The pandemic robbed viewers of “Bachelor in Paradise” last summer. Ready or not, the steamy dating

series returns to the beach as a new group of sexy singles seek a second – or even a third – chance at romance. (8 p.m., ABC). Tuesday: Uh oh, it’s the Season 1 finale of “Superman & Lois” and, apparently, Superman’s worst nightmare is about to come to life as he finds himself up against his Kryptonian half-brother Tal-Rho. Meanwhile, Lois confronts Leslie Larr. (9 p.m., The CW). Tuesday: The heat is on in the culinary smackdown “Chopped: Playing With Fire.” Four standout live-fire cooks vie for the last spot in the tournament’s finale. At stake: $25,000. (9 p.m., Food Network). Wednesday: Expect to bust out laughing as the hysterical “Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens” returns for Season 2 with back-to-back episodes. After a starry-eyed look at her future, Nora trains a new CBD store employee and Grandma’s newly diagnosed perfect bill of health leads to a faceoff. (10 p.m., Comedy Central). Thursday: When a new season of the Canadian crime procedural “Coroner” begins, the pandemic is raging and Jenny (Serinda Swan) investigates the mysterious death of a care worker whose body is found in her own car. (8 p.m., The CW). Friday: Sandra Oh (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Killing Eve”) has done plenty of drama. Now, she tries her hand at satirical comedy in “The Chair.” Oh plays Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim, who confronts a barrage of challenges as the newly appointed chair of the English department at a university suffering from declining enrollment. (Netflix). Saturday: In the TV film “A Little Daytime Drama,” the head writer of a soap opera (Jen Lilley) is desperate to save it from cancellation.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-2802832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-876258-JB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-876258-JB to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

Provocative ads use voting law to target Coke on labor, obesity Tribune Content Agency The minute-long ad begins with a ring of silhouetted people holding hands in a tall grass field. In the next shot, their hands form the letters of the word “love.” But that’s where the idyllic scene ends. “Just drink Coke, the road to obesity,” a singer croons as an overweight child pours himself a glass of dark soda. The spot follows the catchy tune of the iconic 1971 “hilltop” ad in which scores of diverse young people gathered in Italy to sing about their desire to buy the world a Coke. But its message, airing on Atlanta’s top four local television stations over the last week, is designed to be much more provocative. A choir slams “Woka-Cola” for its labor practices in China and for contributing to child obesity and diabetes as images flicker by of obese people giving themselves insulin injections and struggling to button shirts. Not mentioned in the spot, bankrolled by the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Consumers’ Research, is what provoked its rebuke of Coca-Cola: CEO James Quincey’s sharp criticism of Georgia’s new voting law passed by Republicans this spring. The campaign represents a new front in the fallout over the elections overhaul, which sparked

Dreamstime/TNS

An ad airing on Atlanta’s top four local television stations over the past week is designed to be provocative against Coca-Cola, with a choir slamming “Woka-Cola” for its labor practices in China and for contributing to child obesity and diabetes. reams of news coverage, boycott threats and non-stop fodder for both parties on the campaign trail. While Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have lambasted Republicans for instituting “Jim Crow 2.0,” the GOP has rallied around the threat of “cancel culture” and the “woke mob.” Over the last several months, right-leaning Consumers’ Research has embarked on a multimillion-dollar push to name and shame several large companies that have recently spoken out against major conservative priorities. Will Hild, the organization’s executive director, said his group is nonpartisan and isn’t advocating for any spe-

cific approach to elections law. But it is trying to send a message that companies should be cleaning up their own acts rather than weighing in on “woke” political causes. “You have this phenomenon of companies who have real issues, they have problems with how they treat their customers, and they decided to try and distract from that by wading into these issues and going low,” Hild said in an interview. “We’re putting them on notice.” The group has aired television ads targeting the likes of American Airlines, which opposed Republicans’ voting bill in Texas, Nike and Major League Baseball, which in April moved its AllStar game out of Cobb

County in response to Georgia’s elections law. For Coca-Cola, Consumers’ Research – which refuses to disclose its donors – commissioned two trucks to drive mobile billboards around Coke’s Atlanta headquarters and the Georgia Capitol for the last month. It created a website with links to news outlets and nonprofits, including several on the left of the political spectrum, that have published reports critical of Coke’s business practices. And it ran a second, 30-second spot with a dark look and tone not unlike a campaign ad that called out Quincey by name for attacking Georgia’s voting law. While there have been many ads aired in Georgia and across the country blasting the MLB, Consumers’ Research’s is novel for not only directly attacking Coke, a major economic and political force in Georgia, but for highlighting issues like labor and health that would traditionally resonate with those left-of-center. Wesley Longhofer, a professor at Emory’s Goizueta Business School focused on the intersection of business and society, said some organizations like Greenpeace have found success using provocative ads to force major changes at companies. They’ve done this by compiling compelling evidence and working with corporations to

clean up their supply chains, he said. “But if you’re too antagonistic it’s easy for a corporation to either ignore you or play defense,” he said. “That tends to be less effective than getting corporations to engage in the kinds of change that you’re calling for.” For its part, Coca-Cola said it respects “everyone’s right to raise their concerns and express their views.” “But we also believe the best way to make progress now is for us all to come together to listen, respectfully share concerns and collaborate on a path forward,” the company said in a written statement. “We remain open to productive conversations with groups who may have differing views.” Coke also defended its human rights policy and highlighted its efforts to reduce added sugar in many of its products. Consumers’ Research traces its roots back nearly a century and says its mission is to “increase the knowledge and understanding of issues, policies, products, and services of concern to consumers and to promote the freedom to act on that knowledge and understanding.” In the last decade, the group has made a name for itself penning legal briefs backing Republican attorneys general.

Home prices soar 23%, fastest on record Tribune Content Agency U.S. home prices rose the most on record in the second quarter as buyers battled for a scarcity of listings. The median price of an existing single-family home jumped 23% from a year earlier to an alltime high of $357,900, the National Association of Realtors said in a report Thursday. About 94% of 183 metropolitan areas measured had doubledigit gains, up from 89% in the first quarter. Low mortgage rates have stoked the hot U.S. housing market for more than a year, with a shortage of inventory pushing prices ever higher. Buyers are having a hard time finding properties they can afford: Sales of previously owned homes in the U.S. fell for a fourth straight month in May. “Home price gains and the accompanying housing wealth accumulation have been spectacular over the past year, but are unlikely to be repeated in 2022,” Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the Realtors group, said in the report. The price increases have hit particularly hard for renters looking to become homeowners. Among first-time buyers, the monthly mortgage payment for a loan with 10% down jumped to 25% of income in the second quarter, up from 21% a year earlier, according to the report.

Mustangs: Counting on 11 sophomores TV: Listings From Page B1 in a win over Vallejo, but also tied a school record with four interceptions thrown against both Wood and Vanden. The Mustangs also return top rusher Keith Gallon at running back and Gabriel Batres at tight end with Meadows, Jamoryon Johnson and Jeremiah Hill all listed as “athletes” and likely be asked to make contributions on offense. King’s roster is a goodnews-bad-news scenario. If things work out, nearly half the squad will be

with him for another two seasons. It also leads him to say his biggest concern is “the youth on this team. We have 11 sophomores who we expect to make an immediate impact.” Even with such a young team, the Mustangs’ goals remain high: “The goal will always be to make it into the tournament (playoffs) and give yourself a chance to play for the (Sac-Joaquin) Section and state title,” King said. As with all coaches, King hopes for a return to normal after the disruptions and delays that led to teams in Califor-

nia playing in the spring, a fact that has already made the 2021 fall season abnormal. “The biggest difference was the amount of workout time, and we didn’t get the regular offseason that we were used to – spring ball,” King said. “The good thing about this, though, is the quick turnaround leads to the players staying motivated through this short offseason since they just played.” They’d already had to stay motivated through the boredom of waiting out the pandemic, which

King said helped bring the players closer together. “This Covid situation helped Rodriguez as an entire unit come together and adjust to the adversity the pandemic created for us all,” the coach said. “The student-athletes worked hard every day, even when nothing was promised and there was so much uncertainty, and we are a stronger football program top to bottom because of it.” The Mustangs, who were 2-3 in the spring, open their fall season by hosting Bear Creek of Stockton on Aug. 20.

A’s: Bassitt improves to 12-3 with win From Page B1 the A’s can continue to put pressure on the Houston Astros in the A.L. West. Bassitt improved to 12-3 with six scoreless innings, giving up three hits with two walks and six strikeouts. He is 8-0 in 14 starts on the road, one win behind Bob Welch for the longest road winning streak by an A’s starter. Relievers A.J. Puk, Deolis Guerra and Jake Diekman finished things up for the A’s in the bullpen, with each pitching a scoreless inning. Eli Morgan, the Cleveland starter, got things started in the wrong direction for his team with three walks and two

hit batters in four innings, falling to 1-6. Five of the 10 walks for the A’s were drawn by third baseman Matt Chapman, tying a franchise record. Mitch Moreland homered twice for the A’s, his eighth and ninth of the season. Mark Canha and Starling Marte, the top two hitters in the batting order, each had three RBIs. It was the largest final margin for a shutout win in franchise history. Any doubt about the outcome was removed in the fifth inning, when the A’s scored five times against three Cleveland pitchers and took a 10-0 lead.

Included was Moreland’s home run to lead off the inning against Justin Garza, a bases-loaded walk drawn by Elvis Andrus, a run-scoring single from Marte and a two-run single by Matt Olson. Being aggressive on the bases led to two more runs in the fourth inning and a 5-0 lead, with Canha’s infield out and Marte’s double to left accounting for the RBIs. Chapman opened with a walk against Morgan, and one out later, Andrus hit behind the runner perfectly with Chapman racing around to third. Canha was next, and a potential ground ball double play instead

because a run-scoring fielders choice when Andrus, running on the pitch, beat the force play at second. Marte’s double brought in the second run. The A’s struck for three runs in the second inning with the help of free base runners supplied by Morgan, with Sean Murphy hitting a two-run double and a third run scoring when Marte was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The inning began when Moreland was hit by a pitch, followed by a walk to Josh Harrison. Murphy was next, and his 105 mph shot to the gap went for a double, scoring both runners.
