Biden: US-led evacuation from Kabul is accelerating Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said the U.S. has expanded its efforts to help evacuate Americans who’ve struggled to reach the Kabul airport and may extend the Aug. 31 deadline for a full U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. “We’re working hard and as fast as we can to get people out,” Biden said Sunday at the White House. “That’s our mission, that’s our goal.” The president declined to provide more detail about U.S. efforts to assist people outside of the Kabul airport perimeter. Biden said about 7,800 people were evacuated over the weekend, bringing the total since Aug. 14 to more than 25,000. Biden’s remarks come just two days before a virtual meeting

FAIRFIELD — Relatively clear skies Sunday above Solano County will likely yield to hazy skies Monday as smoke from this season’s wildfires again drifts over the region. The change prompted an air quality advisory – shy of an air quality warning known as a Spare the Air alert – Sunday for Monday across the Bay Area. The advisory comes as state and federal fire officials confirmed

A person walks on a flooded road during Tropical Storm Henri in Westerly, Rhode Island, Sunday.

Henri batters New England with rain, wind Tribune Content Agency Tropical Storm Henri is wringing out rain across New England and sweeping the region with gusty winds after it came ashore in Rhode Island. The storm drove the ocean 1- to 2-feet higher as it made landfall near Westerly, Rhode Island, with top winds of 60 miles per hour. More than 125,000 homes and businesses are without power across the region, according to

Poweroutage.us, which tracks outages. Henri is the latest in a grim parade of extreme weather events worldwide as climate change takes hold. Massive wildfires have blackened huge swaths of California, Greece, Algeria and Siberia, sending smoke over the North Pole for the first time on record. July was the hottest month ever recorded on Earth. See Henri, Page A7

the film that many folks had to put on layaway, your procedure was similar to this: You bought some film and knew that you had a finite amount of images you could capture. You got flash cubes as well. After taking all the exposures available to you, you turned the film in to a film processing place and waited for a few days to get the photos back. Now if you were impatient, you could go to the then-miraculous 50 Minute photo place in the mall, but again, the price for that extravagance was two of your bodily extremities and your firstborn offspring. Eventually you get your photos back and realize that you left the lens cap on. Advantage: Duh, new school. If you are an actual old-school photographer who develops your own pictures in a darkroom with chemicals and wet paper and clothes pins, you can try but you will not be able to convince me that that is better than having a photo lab in your pocket.

Making friends Old School: You spend a lot of quality time with someone and get to know their like and dislikes, build trust, start to make memories and develop an unshakeable bond that will last a lifetime. New School: You click “confirm friend request” on Facebook. Advantage: Old school. I have many friends on Facebook who I have never met in real life. Now, many of them seem like mighty fine folks, but I am not 100% sure that some of them aren’t actually just holograms.

Only $17,000 a night for this Orlando hotel suite Tribune Content Agency ORLANDO, Fla. — The Royal Suite on the 16th floor of the Four Seasons Resort Orlando isn’t just the largest suite in Orlando. It doesn’t earn its $17,000-per-night price tag with its crystal chandelier or views of Walt Disney World. For the clients who rent it, the real allure is the service. “We’re here to anticipate the guests’ needs,” said hotel manager Greg Viaud. “We keep ahead of the game.” The Orlando Sentinel sought a tour of the Royal Suite after LuxuryHotels.com recently released a survey that found Orlando to have the third most expensive five-star hotel rooms in the world, just behind Los Angeles and Paris. The survey used ratings from Booking.

com, identifying five-star hotels in metro Orlando that include the Four Seasons, Waldorf Astoria Orlando, JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes, Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes and others. With prices like those for the Royal, it’s easy to see how Orlando got to an average of $663.11 for five-star night, less than $2 below the average for Paris. Los Angeles, which was the most expensive, was $675.84 per night. Viaud wouldn’t disclose guests who have stayed in the Royal, though he said they range from celebrities to CEOs and even members of royal families. Privacy is one of the main draws of the suite for these megawealthy clients, who don’t blink at the price or hesitate to pay more for extra conveniences. But what do these afflu-

The Royal Suite at Four Seasons Resort, located within the private residential community of Golden Oak at Walt Disney World, is a 3,300-square foot suite that cost $17,000 a night. ent tourists get that the average schmo doesn’t? In the Royal, it does start with space. The one-bedroom suite offers guests 3,300 square feet to stretch out in, from the private office to the media center to the salon-style bathroom. The bedroom includes a

retractable TV screen, and the suite is ringed by a balcony with a vista stretching from Animal Kingdom to Space Mountain, with the option to dine outside for the nightly fireworks displays. The Royal Suite generates about $1,000 in tourism tax revenue per

night, but the money is limited to tourism advertising and sports and entertainment venues. Of course, if that isn’t big enough, guests have the option of connecting up to nine other rooms on the floor with their own private hallway. Or they can go for total privacy with an entire 16thfloor buyout starting at $69,000 a night, giving them 21 total rooms, including the Presidential Suite, the Four Season’s only rival to the Royal. The perks of the Royal actually start before the guests even arrive. The staff makes contact with the guests, often through a personal assistant, to find out what they want for their vacation. “They get to know the guests before they’re here,” Viaud said. Guests also get the kitchen stocked with whatever they request.

Dear Annie: As a caregiver and a daughter-in-law, I would just like to say your advice for “Forgotten Daughter” is spot on.

Today’s birthday Relationships take unexpected turns – especially ones tied to your livelihood. You’re in for a ride. What you receive will be different and more than what you ever thought you would take away from a situation. Tweaks to your routine lift your vitality. Someone new helps you get unstuck from what held you back before. Leo and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 4, 22, 28 and 13.

The word “yes” – being just what you wanted to hear – will make you smile. This affirmation is cause for relief, relaxation and celebration. It’s also a signal. The real work begins. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t tell all you know or show all you have. A glimpse is more interesting than a reveal, which should be saved until the very last moment for the audience who has earned it. And for the rest – never. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As the sign of transformation, you welcome the fascinating evolution of your own nature,

which often occurs without your control or interference. However, the change is solely your invention today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Expectation has a way of blinding people to the possibilities outside of what they anticipate. Don’t let this happen to you. Drop your preconceived notions and open up to more mysterious realities. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You are used to obeying the driving force of your ambition. It benefits you to change it up. Give that ambition a rest and it will still be there when you come back to it. Settle into a process. Let that be enough. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18).

BEWARE THE APPEAL OF OVERTRICKS When playing rubber bridge, declarer’s primary aim should be to make his contract. If there is a chance for an overtrick or two without risking the contract, fair enough – go for it. But if the contract is put in jeopardy, forget those overtricks.

by Phillip Alder value of a game bonus. Sometimes, it is true, you will be heavily favored to collect an overtrick. But anytime you go down in a contract that you could have had safe and sound, it will be hard to look your partner in the eye as he sees his wealth decreasing instead of increasing. Without glancing at the East-West cards, decide how South should play in three no-trump after West leads a low club. The careless declarer wins the first trick with the club jack and immediately takes a diamond finesse. It loses, and back comes a club to dummy’s king. South plays a spade to his hand and leads another diamond, but when West discards, declarer has that sinking feeling. He tries a heart, but both honors are offside, and West establishes and cashes his club suit. The more careful South starts by counting his top tricks. Given the club lead, he has eight: four spades, one diamond and three clubs. Only one more trick is needed, and it is guaranteed if he attacks hearts. Declarer should lead a low heart from his hand at trick two. Even if West wins with the queen and plays another club, South leads a second heart, establishing his ninth trick while he has all of the suits stopped. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

‘Punky Brewster’ revival canceled after one season Tribune Content Agency Peacock is putting out the Punky power. The revival of the popular ’80s sitcom “Punky Brewster,” which debuted on Peacock earlier this year, is not returning for a second season. The NBCUniversal streaming service Thursday announced that it would not renew the much-hyped sequel of the American TV classic, which was headlined by the show’s original star Soleil Moon Frye. “Punky Brewster was a beloved series that tackled meaningful storylines with so much heart,” Lisa Katz, NBCUniversal television and streaming president, said in a statement. “It was a bright light

for so many viewers and we are forever grateful to Universal Studio Group, the producers, the cast and crew and especially to Soleil Moon Frye for reigniting the Punky Power within everyone,” she added. The original show ran for four seasons starting in 1984: two seasons on NBC, and then two on syndication. It told the story of Punky (Frye), a bright young girl being raised by a foster dad (George Gaynes). The 10-episode revival, which debuted on Peacock on Feb. 25, followed Punky – now a divorced mother of three – who still lived in the same Chicago apartment where she grew up, and who met a young girl who reminded her of her younger self.

the right stuff

Why should we recall the governor?

avin Newsom, 54, had an unremarkable education. Newsom began developing successful businesses in wineries, restaurants and hotels in 1991 with the assistance of Gordon Getty of Getty Fortune fame. He began his political career in 1996 when San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown appointed him to his city staff and then to the Board of Supervisors. Newsom was later elected to the board in 1998, 2000 and 2002. He was elected San Francisco Mayor in 2003 and 2007, California lieutenant governor in 2010 and 2014, and California governor in 2018. Let’s look at reasons to recall Earl Heal Newsom: homelessness, wildfires, Covid-19, water supply and climate control. What is Newsom’s record? Homeless issues emerged significantly in California and the United States in general in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Three general categories define the homeless: mental problems, drug addiction and industrious people who had some bad breaks. Mental health budgets were decreased onethird from 1978-1982 and never restored. There are other causes that contribute, such as loss of jobs from deindustrialization and insufficient affordable housing due to excessive regulatory laws (e.g., California recently required all new houses to have solar panels, increasing the cost $10,000 or more). The result is many residents cannot afford the rent when the costs are passed on to them. The Council of Economic Advisers stated that housing deregulation would reduce homelessness 54%. Supervisor Newsom increased environmental regulations while the city’s homeless count increased to 8,600. To his credit as mayor in 2003, he diverted welfare cash payments to improve medical care and housing, which temporarily reduced the count 27%, but that count increased and climbed 57% by 2019 to 9,802. Wildfires are ignited by lightning, accidents and arson, and become intense when provided with excess fuel. A recent study found that wildfires in the western states are no more frequent than past history, but the increased intensity of those fires is a direct result of deadwood as required by environmental concepts. The current Dixie Fire went out of control from the uncleared debris of the 2020 fire that destroyed Paradise. Until we elect a state government that allows timber owners to manage their forests, California will continue to burn and lose forests, homes, millions of dollars, and perhaps human lives. A governor that blames climate change will never solve the problem. Covid-19. I have no criticism of any action taken during January 2020 as we were dealing with an unknown disease and estimates were published suggesting millions of American deaths. As knowledge was gained, the states applied varying actions. What was an emergency declaration of 90 days that became 1 ½ years. California took the more extreme actions. Newsom limited business operations severely and many never survived to reopen. He continued in-person schooling for his children in a private school while closing public schools to in-person attendance for a year. The lockdowns severely affected public education and caused significant increases in unemployment, domestic violence and suicide in many states, including California. Comparison with other states’ actions suggest little benefit from the extreme actions. There are six main systems of aqueducts and infrastructure that redistribute and transport water in California, principally the State Water Project, started in 1960, the Central Valley Project, constructed from 1944-1979, and the Colorado River system. Growth in agriculture and current population to nearly 39.5 million, plus the addition of environmental issues, has outgrown supply. Voters have approved bonds to increase water storage capacity and legislators have discussed options that include efficiency in agricultural water use, desalination, reuse and recycling of water, and increased capture of local rainwater, but nothing significant has been accomplished. Has Newsom ever addressed this issue seriously? Climate Change. California is reducing energy availability before developing alternative sources. Prepare for future blackouts. Is this the man you want leading California government? Vote to recall Newsom on Sept. 14. Earl Heal is a retired Air Force officer, Vacaville resident and a member of The Right Stuff Committee of the Solano County Republican Party. Reach him at healearlniki@att.net.

Cruz is right! Congress needs term limits By William Natbony The Fulcrum (TNS)

en. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is the lead sponsor of a proposed constitutional amendment that would impose term limits on members of Congress. Senators would be limited to two six-year terms and House members to three two-year terms. Although voters in the 1990s supported sweeping term limit legislation that imposed limits on state and local officeholders, the congressional term limits movement stalled in 1995 when the Supreme Court ruled that federal limits require a constitutional amendment. The result has been congressional term limit stagnation, with more than 90% of House incumbents being re-elected year after year and the re-election rate among Senators falling below 80% just three times since 1982. More than 60% of Republicans and Democrats support the adoption of federal term limits, recognizing that the Congressional Incumbents Club is a paradigm of careerism that combines power, stature and influence with lavish benefits: a high salary; unparalleled business connections; limited working days; spectacular working conditions; periodic taxpayer-funded fact-finding trips; a sizable staff (that could include family and friends); exceptional medical, dental and retirement ben-

efits; weakened insider trading rules; taxpayer funded legal expenses; the ability to moonlight at other jobs; free flights back and forth to the lawmaker’s home state; a family death gratuity; and free parking. No wonder those elected to Congress make every effort to hold onto their jobs and special interest groups spend lavishly to ensure that those they’ve elected continue to protect and enhance their special interests. These perks help to explain why public confidence in Congress remains near an all-time low – 12% according to a 2021 Gallup Poll. The consensus that Congress is broken is so widely held that if ever there was an issue that should command bipartisan support, it’s congressional term limits. Although The Heritage Foundation concluded in 1994 that “term limits are here to stay as an important issue on the American political landscape,” it and the U.S. Term Limits lobby badly misunderstood the degree of self-interest and power of the Congressional Incumbents Club. Unless a constitutional change movement originates with the states and mobilizes its way to Congress (as previously suggested), term limits bills are doomed to gather dust on congressional bookshelves. Term limits have been a net benefit at the state and local levels. They would bring new perspectives to Congress, encouraging those with fresh ideas to run for office (perhaps

to some degree offsetting the Supreme Court’s 2019 holding that gerrymandering is constitutional). Term limits also would diminish incentives for election-related spending that have proliferated in the careerist Congress (especially since the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision validating the solicitation and receipt of unlimited campaign contributions). Although there are strong arguments against term limits, a further significant benefit would be a counterbalancing of incumbent financial and media advantages, as well as the name recognition, media access and embedded political contributions that flow to incumbency. Term limits also would incentivize members of Congress to nurture their successors by providing the types of apprenticeship experiences that make for practical staff training in other industries, thereby taking legislation out of the hands of lobbyists, bureaucrats and unelected Beltway insiders.

high-risk statewide issue.” Not all of the seven high-risk issues raised by the auditor can be laid at Newsom’s door. Some of them are out of his control, such as funding gaps in the teachers’ retirement system. But he owns most of them, including mismanagement of expensive information technology programs, lapses in prison inmate health care, poor oversight of the Medi-Cal system of health care for the poor, lackadaisical regulation of nursing homes, and unfunded liabilities for state employees’ health care. The technology project issue is particularly vexing because Newsom has long portrayed himself as a hightech maven, even writing a book suggesting that technology could expand efficiency and accountability in public services. While technology problems pre-date Newsom, the biggest project, dubbed FI$Cal, which is supposed to be an all-encompassing financial management program, is still years behind schedule and many millions of dollars over budget. Howle says, “the transition to FI$Cal has diminished the state’s financial reporting and accountability and affected the state’s ability to issue timely financial statements, which could lead to increased borrowing costs.” CALmatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

Waves From Page One and climate change in our area,” said Marianne Butler, education director for the Solano Resource Conservation District, in a press release. “We hope that the local presenters inspired teachers and encouraged them enough to empower their students to help protect our natural resources in Solano County.” The training began Aug. 4 at Rush Ranch Open Space near Suisun City. Educators learned about the importance and challenges of managing the Suisun Marsh and other open spaces from both the Suisun Resource Conservation District’s John Takekawa and the Solano Land Trust’s Jasmine Westbrook-Barsukov. Teachers also learned from Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Leonard about the Solano County Office of Education’s Explorers Quest program – an outdoor treasure hunt that offers students and their families the chance to discover native plants and animals in Solano County. The second day of the workshop was spent boating on Lake Berryessa as part of an educational tour to help teachers experience firsthand the significance Lake Berryessa holds for them and their students. “It’s extremely important that students know Lake Berryessa is their drinking water,” said Jennifer Onufer, Supervising Park Ranger with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation at Lake Berryessa, in the press release. “While they can also recreate and play here, it is first and foremost a precious drinking water source that they can help protect.” Onufer’s statement came during a question-and-answer session halfway through the tour, at the Bureau of Reclamation Visitor Center. The panel discussion also featured Education Specialist Kathy Schulz from the California Department of Water Resources, Water Quality Supervisor Marc Bautista from the city of Benicia, and Senior Engineer Alex Rabidoux with the Solano County Water Agency.

‘These place-based learning experiences give teachers knowledge on the impacts of drought and climate change in our area.’ — Marianne Butler, education director for the Solano Resource Conservation District

Rabidoux also gave a full-hour presentation on the State Water Project, Central Valley Project and the Solano Project, which includes Lake Berryessa and the Putah South Canal. Solano County Parks Supervisor Chris Drake closed out Thursday with an overview of the opportunities within Solano County Parks and ongoing efforts to increase park access. The final training occurred Aug. 5 at the city of Fairfield’s Dunnell Nature Park and Education Center, where teachers were trained by California Project WET Coordinator Brian Brown to facilitate Project WET activities using the content they learned during the workshop. Teachers who completed the workshop and participate in an October follow-up meeting are eligible for a $200 stipend and can receive 21 hours of continuing education credit. The date for the 2022 Solano Water Institute is yet to be determined. The 2021 Solano Water Institute for Teachers was funded by the Solano County Orderly Growth Committee; the California Department of Water Resources; the Water Education Foundation; and the School Water Education Program, which includes the cities of Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, Dixon, Vallejo and Benicia, the FairfieldSuisun Sewer District and the Solano Irrigation District. The workshop is hosted by Solano Resource Conservation District with support from Brian Brown, Project WET coordinator for California.

Don Everly, of the Hall of Fame duo Everly Brothers, dies at 84 Tribune Content Agency Singer and guitarist Don Everly, half of a brotherly hit-making machine that set a template for a host of harmony-makers who followed, died on Saturday at 84. In a statement to the Los Angeles Times, his family wrote, “Don lived by what he felt in his heart. Don expressed his appreciation for the ability to live his dreams . . . with his soulmate and wife, Adela, and sharing the music that made him an Everly Brother.” His family said he died in Nashville and did not disclose the cause of death. Everly and his younger brother Phil, who died in 2014, hit it big in 1957 with “Bye Bye Love,” the first in a string of smashes showcasing the Everly Brothers’ incomparable vocal blend. Things weren’t always harmonious for the singing siblings in their personal lives, but upon Phil’s death, Don described their deep bond. “I was listening to one of my favorite songs that Phil wrote and had an extreme emotional moment just before I got the news of his passing,” Don wrote in a statement to The Associated Press at the time. “I took that as a special spiritual message from Phil saying goodbye. Our love was and will always be deeper than any earthly differences we might have had.” They began recording in 1956 and quickly racked up the hits. “Bye Bye Love,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard charts, was followed by “Wake Up Little Susie,” which hit the top spot. Between 1957 and 1962 they had 13 top-10 hits, with “All I Have to Do is Dream” and “Cathy’s Clown” also

Henri From Page One It’s the fifth storm to hit the U.S. in 2021 and the eighth to form in the Atlantic. Henri is expected to linger across southern New England bringing as much as 6 inches of rain to a landscape that has been drenched by weeks of downpours, which could make flooding worse. It will then sweep across southern Maine and head for the Canadian Maritimes. Flooding has been reported across the Northeast, disrupting transportation. Amtrak canceled trains between New York and Boston. Some subway tunnels were inundated in New York City. And about 1,000 flights were canceled as of 11 a.m., mostly in Boston and Newark, New Jersey, according to Flight Aware, an airline tracking service. More than 13,500

Rock and roll duo The Everly Brothers, Phil, left, and Don Everly, circa 1960. Don Everly died Saturday at the age of 84. Phil Everly died in January 2014 at age 74. reaching No. 1. The brothers enlisted in the Marines in 1961, and that and the British invasion helped cool their careers. The Beatles and their British brethren may have taken over the pop charts, but they owed a lot to the Everly Brothers. “Phil Everly was one of my great heroes,” Paul McCartney said in a statement when Phil died in 2014. “With his brother Don, they were one of the major influences on The Beatles. When John and I first started to write songs, I was Phil and he was Don.” McCartney later name-checked “Phil and Don” on his 1976 “Let ‘Em In.” Other harmony maestros also saluted the pair. “The Everly Bros music was a huge inspiration for me growing up,” Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys wrote after Phil’s

death. “As brothers, those harmonies just sound so sweet and tender, I think it’s a family thing. I could never get enough of their voices.” And Paul Simon, who laid down incredible vocals with Art Garfunkel, called the Everly Brothers “the most beautiful sounding duo I ever heard.” Their initial time together came to a crashing conclusion in a public setting. During a 1973 concert at Knott’s Berry Farm in California, Phil smashed his guitar and walked off mid-show, leaving Don to finish. They didn’t play together for another decade, until a 1983 appearance at Royal Albert Hall in London. Their reunion album, “EB 84,” included the McCartney-penned “On the Wings of a Nightingale,” which reached

No. 50 on the pop chart and climbed to No. 9 on the adult contemporary survey. The album peaked at No. 38, and was followed by two more releases, “Born Yesterday” in 1986 and “Some Hearts” in 1988. In 2003-04 they opened for Simon and Garfunkel on tour and joined the duo during the middle of the concerts. The Everly Brothers were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s first class, in 1986, with Neil Young introducing them. “Thank God they gave us two (trophies), we don’t have to fight over it,” Phil joked at the induction. Don’s brief speech included his feelings on their career. “Rock ‘n’ roll’s been good to us,” he said. “I hope it’s been good to you.”

utility workers from dozens of states are on standby to help restore power, according to the Edison Electric Institute, a utility trade group. As early as Sunday morning, Henri was still a hurricane, with top winds of 75 mph. But it lost power on its final approach. “It didn’t come in as ferocious as predicted,” said Jim Rouiller, lead meteorologist at the Energy Weather Group. “I was expecting a bit more out of it but it really hasn’t materialized.” A continental storm coming across Pennsylvania seems to have sapped some of Henri’s energy and moisture, Rouiller said. It also helped slow Henri down as it crossed an area of cooler water that robbed it of its strength. Hurricanes and tropical storms depend on warm ocean water to build power and maintain strength. The cooler water has just the opposite effect and that could mean that the feared

flooding and power outage won’t be as bad. But flooding could still be severe, and officials braced for the worst. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Saturday declared a state of emergency, and thousands of residents and vacationers evacuated beach communities — or in some cases, opted to hunker down. A mandatory evacuation order was issued for some residents nearest the coast in Madison, Connecticut, across Long Island Sound. President Joe Biden approved emergency declarations for Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York and ordered federal assistance. He authorized the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate all disaster relief efforts. Biden held a call Saturday with governors from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The Coast Guard

ordered ports in Southeastern New England to shut, and established a safety zone for the Port of Narragansett, Mount Hope, Buzzards Bay, and Cape Cod Bay. In New York and New Jersey, authorities will implement vessel traffic control measures and limit movement. Henri probably won’t produce anywhere near the $77 billion in damages that Superstorm Sandy caused in 2012, but it poses a significant threat to transportation and power networks, and is set to unleash potentially deadly storm surges. The winds, rain and surge damage could reach at least $1 billion in losses, said Chuck Watson, a disaster modeler with Enki Research. Many of those costs will be absorbed by residents, who will make repairs themselves or because the damage won’t reach insurance deductibles. Insured losses will probably top out at $500 million, he said.

decades and now face the risk of reprisal from the Taliban. Between Aug. 21 and Aug. 22 at 3 a.m., 23 U.S. military flights evacuated about 3,900 people, and 35 coalition aircraft – including foreign military and commercial airlines – evacuated another roughly 3,900, according to a senior White House official. About 30,000 people have been evacuated since the end of July. “We see no reason why this tempo will not be kept up,” Biden said.

Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, said Sunday that the U.S. is placing “paramount priority” on defending crowds at the Kabul airport, and warned of the “acute” risk of a terrorist attack by Islamic State. Earlier Sunday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that he activated stage one of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet, which gives the military access to U.S. commercial airlines to assist with the evacuation effort. In a tweet Sunday, Austin said that aircraft from

American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Atlas Air, Omni Air and Hawaiian Airlines are being used in the effort. They’re not flying into Kabul’s airport, instead flying passengers out of safe havens to interim staging bases, he said. In recent days, Biden has held calls with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Italy’s Prime Minister Mario Draghi, the White House said.

Vikings rally in second half to quiet Honkers, 37-33 Daily Republic staff

SPORTS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — After giving up 20 points in the first quarter, the Vanden High football team needed to make some adjustments. That the Vikings did, scoring 37 unanswered points en route to a 37-33 road victory over Yuba City, Saturday night. “I think it showed a lot of character,” Vanden coach Sean Murphy said of the victory. “It would’ve

been easy (in) week 1 for a lot of guys to quit. I think they were able to regather themselves and just chip away. It shows we were able to keep our composure and start making some plays.” It was the Honkers that made plays early, recovering a fumble on Vanden’s first offensive snap and scoring a touchdown on their own. Vanden put together a pair of nice offensive drives only to turn the ball over on downs both times. Yuba City, meanwhile,

drove for a pair of touchdowns to make it 20-0 with Jayden Robinson blocking one of the conversion attempts for Vanden. The Vikings finally got on the board with 15 seconds left in the half when quarterback Tre Dimes hit Konar McLeod with a 15-yard touchdown pass, though a fumbled snap on the conversion attempt kept it 20-6. Vanden forced a threeand-out from the Honkers to start the second half and put together a scoring

drive capped by Dimes’ 1-yard touchdown run to make it 20-13 with 4:53 to go in the third quarter after the first of Diego NunezSmith’s four PAT kicks. The ensuing pooch kick by Nunez-Smith was recovered by Jordan Jones of the Vikings, who then drove for another touchdown, a 2-yard run Cameron Fisherman to make it 20-20 at the end of three quarters. Yuba City’s next possession ended with an interception by Van-

den’s King Williams, who returned it to near the Honkers’ 30. Moments later, Nunez-Smith put the Vikings ahead to stay with a field goal. Vanden’s defense again came up big by forcing another three-and-out from Yuba City. Facing a fourth-and-goal from the Vikings’ 14, Murphy decided to eschew the field goal – “In high school football, to me a six-point lead is the same as a three-point lead,” the coach said – and was rewarded when Dimes

hit Michael Belk with a touchdown pass to up the lead to 30-20. After Ryan Null recovered a Yuba City fumble at the Honkers’ 7, Elijah Fisherman, Cameron’s younger brother, scored on the next play to make it 37-20 and wrap up Vanden’s scoring with 6:28 remaining. The Honkers tacked on two late touchdowns, though the Vikings’ lead was never threatened as See Vikings, Page B8

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert presents the MVP trophy to Breanna Stewart of the Seattle Storm

after a 79-59 win against the Connecticut Sun during the Commissioner’s Cup Championship Game, Aug. 12.

‘This is exactly where I want to be’

Stewart on balancing motherhood, on-court success Percy Allen

THE SEATTLE TIMES

SEATTLE — Breanna Stewart has certainly felt love and happiness before, but for the first time in her life she’s at peace. That’s the word the 26-year-old newlywed and brand-new mom used to describe her feelings while obtaining an elusive balance between her professional basketball pursuits and a growing family that now includes wife Marta Xargay Casademont and their two-week old baby daughter, Ruby Mae. “This is exactly where I want to be,” Stewart said. “And I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing with the people that I want to be doing it with.” After a two-game layoff to spend time with Marta and Ruby,

who was born via surrogate on Aug. 9, Stewart returned to the basketball court Friday night and helped the Storm to a 99-83 victory over the New York Liberty, which snapped Seattle’s twogame losing skid. It was Stewart’s first game as a mom, which is something she’ll never forget. Listening to her talk about the newest additions in her life, it becomes clear that the word “family” has new meaning for the North Syracuse, N.Y., native who grew up with parents Brian and Heather and younger brother Conor. “To be on the court as a mom just knowing that I’m representing more,” Stewart said. “My family has grown and I’m continuing to represent that. Also, even

though Ruby is not aware of it right now, continuing to be a role model to her and doing everything for my family.” In her first regular-season game as Momma Stewart, the 6-foot-4 forward looked identical to the former Connecticut Huskies star who was taken No. 1 overall in the 2016 WNBA draft and led the Storm to two WNBA championships while winning two WNBA Finals MVPs and a regular-season WNBA MVP award. Stewart tormented New York with 19 points on 6-for-13 shooting, a game-high 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 32 1/2 minutes. The diverse oncourt production is the same, but those who know Stewart say

she’s different. “She has this joy about her and this spirit about her to where it’s like, she’s just a go-getter,” coach Noelle Quinn said. “If we look at the body of work that Stewie has done on the basketball court, it’s amazing. But I think who she is as a person is really amplified in these moments. She wants to win. She’s a competitor, she’s a winner and it’s contagious. I just think because she goes about things the right way and her heart is in the right spot and doing it for the right reasons is why she’s so successful.” Stewart, a four-time NCAA champion at UConn and three-time WNBA All-Star, is no stranger to success. Since returning from See Stewart, Page B8

Rangers legend Rod Gilbert dies at 80 Tribune Content Agency Rod “Mr. Ranger” Gilbert, the Rangers’ all-time goals and scoring leader, has died. He was 80 years old. Gilbert’s death was announced by the team Sunday evening. “I am deeply saddened by the passing of Rod Gilbert — one of the greatest Rangers to ever play for our organization and one of the greatest ambassadors the game of hockey has ever had,” Rangers owner James Dolan said in a statement. “While his on-ice achievements rightly made him

a Hall of Famer, it was his love for the Rangers and the people of New York that endeared him to generations of fans and forever earned him the title, ‘Mr. Ranger.’ Our thoughts are with Rod’s wife, Judy, and the entire Gilbert family during this difficult time. They will always be a part of the Rangers family.” “Everyone in the Rangers organization mourns the loss of a true New York icon,” Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury added. “Rod’s remarkable talent and zest for life personified this city and endeared him to hockey

fans and non-hockey fans alike. Growing up a young Rangers fan, one of the first names I ever heard about was Rod Gilbert – he was synonymous with Rangers hockey. It was an incredible privilege to get to know Rod. His passion and dedication to the Rangers will forever be a source of inspiration for me.” Born July 1, 1941 in Montreal, Gilbert played with the Rangers from 1960 to 1978. Across parts of 18 seasons, Gilbert tallied 406 goals and 615 assists as a winger, for a total of 1,021 points in 1,065 games. See Gilbert, Page B8

There’s following a general game plan and then there’s matching the same script to an absurd extent. That’s what the Giants did Sunday at the Coliseum. Just like the day before, San Francisco trailed late, got a key walk and then a pinchhit homer, this time by Donovan Solano, whose blast off A.J. Puk in the eighth lifted the Giants to a 2-1 victory. Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee worked scoreless eighth and ninth innings, respectively, as San Francisco’s majorleague best record improved to 80-44. It was the first time in major-league history that a team has hit pinchhit homers in the eighth inning or later to erase a deficit and take a lead in back-to-back games. “It doesn’t surprise me one bit,” Giants starter Logan Webb said, adding of Solano’s drive, “It sounds weird to say but I almost knew it was going to happen.” Solano was pinch-hitting for LaMonte Wade Jr., who on Saturday had pummeled a pinch-hit homer in the ninth after Brandon Belt walked, giving San Francisco a last-gasp win. Solano said he thought back to that at-bat by Wade – but he also had some extra inspiration. “I just happened to look at my stats and saw that I had only 28 RBIs and I was like, ‘OK, it would be nice for me to get up to 30,’ and I started thinking what LaMonte felt when he hit the home run and drove in the winning run,” Solano said, with Erwin Higueros interpreting. “That was my mental state.” On Sunday, Austin Slater drew the two-out walk from Puk while also serving as a pinch hitter, and manager Gabe Kapler hoped that plate appearance doesn’t get lost in the shuffle, especially after Slater fell behind 1-2. “Donovan is going to get all the credit and the glory for the homer, which he should, but don’t sleep on how huge that at-bat from Austin Slater was,” Kapler said. It’s just the second time since 1961 that the

Giants have recorded goahead pinch-hit homers in back-to-back games. Neither Solano nor Wade had a pinch-hit home run before the weekend, but it’s becoming the norm with the Giants, whose 14 pinch-hit homers lead the majors and tied with the 2001 club for most by a San Francisco team since 1974. All nine of the Giants’ runs in taking two of three against the A’s came via the homer, and their 187 homers lead the majors. As the Giants sprint down the home stretch, Webb has emerged as the most consistently good member of the rotation. Over the past month, his ERA is 1.69, the rest of the starters combined, 4.93. Webb was working quickly much of the day and throwing strikes with everything, his fastball, slider and changeup. He allowed five hits in his six innings, walked one and struck out seven. The A’s lone run came when Tony Kemp slipped an opposite-field double down the left-field line and scored on Mark Canha’s base hit to center, which ended an 0-for-17 funk. Canha took second on the throw home, but was then struck by a ball off the bat off Starling Marte. A replay clearly showed the ball changing direction after hitting Canha’s foot and while the play is not eligible for replay review, Webb said all the players heard the ball strike Canha. The umpires huddled and made the correct call: Canha was out, Marte was credited with a hit and though he then stole second, Webb got Matt Olson and Jed Lowrie to ground out. With the Dodgers’ loss to the Mets, the Giants pushed their lead in the NL West back to 2 1/2 games. “We lost two in a row, and people start freaking out a little bit, which is crazy,” Webb said of social-media reaction. “But that’s just the type of division that we’re in, the type of race that we’re in. These guys on our team bring it every day. We’re never out of the game, and we’ve been proving that.”

What to make with

sweet corn

3 unique summer recipes JeanMarie Brownson The Daily Meal

hen friends ask about my favorite foods, my answer changes with the season. In August, the answer is corn, and I enjoy it as often as possible in any form. One of summer’s greatest pleasures is grilled corn. As it turns out, there are two ways to grill corn: in and out of the husk. To cook corn in the husk, first do your best to extract the silk from whole ears, taking care to keep the husk intact. After a soak in cool water, the ears can be roasted over a gas or charcoal grill, turning often until the husks are beautifully charred, about 30 minutes. The interior will taste of smoke and sweetness. Be sure to roast at least two per guest – nobody will eat just one. Grilling shucked ears adds char directly to the kernels and takes a mere 15 minutes on the grill. This is my preferred method when sprinkling the kernels over salads or adding them to sautés and stir-fries. But the joys of corn don’t have to be limited to late summer. You can make frozen corn (grilled or raw) to enjoy after the season ends by freezing corn kernels in a shallow layer on a baking sheet until the corn is solid. Then spoon it into freezer bags or containers and freeze for up to four months. An average-size ear of corn yields about 1 cup of corn kernels, so plan your freezing accordingly. If you’re new to enjoying fresh ears of corn off the cob, it’s important to know how to cut the kernels off the cob safely. First, stand the cob up in a large bowl holding it at the top with one hand. Starting at the top, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels from the cob, working your way down. Turn the cob and repeat the cutting until the cob is clean. What to do with all that corn? You can cook it in a skillet – corn and bacon pair as perfectly as peanut butter and jelly. Add ripe tomatoes and lots of basil for a skillet full of goodness that pleases just about everyone.

Clockwise from top, BBT corn skillet, corn and maple ice cream and corn and edamame succotash salad. Serve it over lettuce leaves as a side dish to grilled fish, chicken or skewered shrimp. You can also stir in sautéed chunks of tofu or feta to turn this into a main dish. In another classic combo, I love corn and lima beans in a summery succotash. Here, the corn gets grilled along with sweet onion and tender napa cabbage. Shelled edamame makes a more contemporary version of the old-time dish, but we don’t pass up lima beans when we can find baby limas in the freezer case. Crumbled fresh cheese or a drizzle of heavy cream enriches the dish. Sweet corn ice cream always brings back memories of a family vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We ordered it sprinkled with hot chile and lime. The surprising combination is as addicting as the sweet and salty duo of cheese popcorn and caramel corn, making this one of the things every foodie should have on their summer bucket list. BACON, BASIL AND TOMATO SKILLET CORN Prep 20 minutes Cook 20 minutes Makes 4 cups (about 6 servings) 4 thick slices (8 ounces total) smoky bacon, cut crosswise into ¼ inch pieces 2 shallots or 1 small white onion, finely chopped 1 large poblano chile, seeded, chopped 1 large or 2 small cloves garlic, finely minced 3 cups fresh or grilled corn kernels 1 pint ripe cherry tomatoes, halved or 2 to 3 cups large chunks ripe tomatoes ½ teaspoon coarse (kosher) salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup loosely packed thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, about 1 ¼ ounces In a large, well-seasoned castiron or nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook 8 ounces sliced bacon, stirring often, until bacon is crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate. Tip off (and save for another use) all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat from the pan. Add 2 chopped shallots and 1 seeded, chopped poblano to the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups corn kernels. Cook, stirring often, about 3 minutes, then stir in 1 pint halved cherry tomatoes. Cook until everything is very hot, about 2 minutes. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, or to taste. Remove from heat and stir in crisp bacon. Fold in 1 cup sliced basil. Serve right away. WARM GRILLED CORN AND EDAMAME SUCCOTASH SALAD Prep 25 minutes Cook 15 minutes Makes 6 cups, serving 6 2 ears corn on the cob, shucked, rinsed 1 large sweet onion, peeled, sliced crosswise into 3 sections 2 thick wedges Napa or green cabbage, about 6 ounces total 1 ⁄3 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling ½ teaspoon coarse (kosher) salt, plus more for sprinkling 1 ½ cups frozen shelled edamame or lima beans 2 small limes 1 teaspoon sweet paprika ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ cup (about 2 ounces)

crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese or ¼ cup heavy whipping cream ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh chives or green onion tops Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill until medium hot. Put 2 ears of corn, onion sections and cabbage wedges on a baking sheet. Drizzle all sides with some oil and sprinkle with salt. Place vegetables directly on the grill over the heat. Grill, occasionally turning until nicely golden on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool. Meanwhile, cook 1 ½ cups edamame in a small pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Grate rind from 2 limes into a large bowl. Then squeeze juice from limes into the bowl. Stir in 1⁄3 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon cumin and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add warm edamame to dressing in a bowl. Use a sharp knife to remove corn kernels from cobs and add to the dressing. Chop grilled onion and cabbage and add to the dressing. Mix well. Add ½ cup crumbled queso fresco or ¼ cup heavy cream. Serve at room temperature sprinkled with ¼ cup chives. SWEET CORN AND MAPLE ICE CREAM Prep 15 minutes Cook 10 minutes Chill Several hours Makes 1 ½ quarts This rich, sweet ice cream tastes like the best cornbread topped with maple syrup. For a fun salt and salty twist, sprinkle on a little chile lime seasoning. Note: The trick to great ice cream texture is to thoroughly chill the base before putting it into the ice cream machine. Don’t skip the straining of the base through the sieve; it’ll remove the corn kernel skins.

3 cups fresh raw corn kernels 1 cup whole milk 2 cups heavy whipping cream ½ cup sugar ½ cup pure maple syrup ½ teaspoon salt 4 large egg yolks 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Fresh black raspberries or blackberries for serving Chile lime seasoning or Tajin Classic Chile Lime seasoning, optional for serving Puree 1 ½ cups corn kernels with ½ cup whole milk in a blender until very smooth. Transfer to a deep, heavy saucepan. Repeat with remaining 1 ½ cups corn and ½ cup milk. Stir 2 cups heavy whipping cream, ½ cup sugar, ½ cup maple syrup and ½ teaspoon salt into the corn mixture. Heat over medium heat until simmering. Meanwhile, set a large bowl over a larger bowl of ice. Place a mesh sieve in the large bowl. Whisk 4 egg yolks in a small bowl. Slowly ladle 1 cup of the heated corn mixture into the egg yolks to heat them gently. Then, whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the simmering corn mixture and cook on very low heat just until thickened, 2 or 3 minutes. Do not boil. Immediately pour the mixture through the sieve into the bowl set over the ice. Whisk to cool the mixture and stop the cooking. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Refrigerate the corn mixture until very cold or up to 2 days. Pour the cold corn mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Scoop into a container. Cover and freeze solid for at least 1 hour. Serve small scoops of the ice cream topped with berries. If desired, shake a little chili-lime seasoning over the ice cream.

Tri-city area’s 1st cannabis club proves popular for local residents Customers shop at Stiiizy in Suisun City, Aug. 12. The first cannabis club in the Fairfield, Suisun City and Vacaville area has been open for less than two weeks.

SUISUN CITY — The first cannabis club in the Fairfield, Suisun and Vacaville area has been open less than two weeks and is already outpacing its projected revenues and working with the city to secure more parking spots at the Railroad Avenue location. What was once a bar, nursery and communications business in past iterations has been transformed into what resembles a high-end department store with photos and art on the wall as well as glass display cases full of neatly stacked products that range from buds to cannabisinfused gummy bears. Jennifer Arteaga and Aubree Josephs led the Daily Republic on a tour of the business, Stiiizy. Their first point: You must be 21 to enter. Those between 18 and 21 must show a medical letter to shop. Identification is checked at the door, at the reception table and with each purchase. It’s a cash-and-carry business. There are ATMs on site. One of the employees is Charles Mcclanahan, who grew up in Fairfield and has been bud-tending for almost a decade. His role is similar to that of a bartender. One of his main roles is to keep current on new products,

They are shown at the cannabis club, Aug. 12. changes in laws and industry trends, as well as to provide suggestions for cannabis products based on customer requests. The most popular product at the Railroad Avenue location is the Stiiizy battery, popular with people who vape. “We are excited to bring Stiiizy to the community and bring more jobs. The customers are excited to have us here,”

Arteaga said. Opening day saw more than 500 customers, she said. Cannabis customers prior to the shop’s opening would travel to Vallejo, Dixon, Davis or even Sacramento to get products. That was the case with Diamond Lofton, a Suisun City resident. She praised the city for locating the business near her home.

“It’s my first time in here,” she said. “I’m excited. They’ve done the best job they could have done.” Lofton was there to pick up some dabs, a powerful concentrate of THC. The name comes from the fact that only a dab, or a small amount of product, is needed to get a powerful high. A bud, or flower, has about 30% THC, Josephs said. A con-

centrate, such as dabs, has between 80 and 90%. Lofton said she would return and thought the cannabis club is a good idea. “People are using pot crazy these days,” she said. Stiiizy hosted a job fair less than a week after opening. The ideal candidate? A good personality, accountability and top-notch customer service, Arteaga said. She is the regional manager for all Northern California Stiiizy stores, starting her career in the Los Angeles area. “Stiiizy is a great community,” Josephs, who is the local manager, said. “I’m proud to be part of it.” The business is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The opening may move up an hour, to 8 a.m., in September. Stiiizy is one of three businesses that hosted grand openings in Suisun City in the span of two weeks. Beyond Tea, in the Marina Center, and the Holiday Inn Express, next to the Hampton Inn, were the other two. The Dunkin’ Donuts/Baskin Robbins on Sunset Avenue had a soft opening beginning Wednesday, offering drive-through service only. Stiiizy is located at 521 Railroad Ave. For more information, visit https://www.stiiizy.com.

GM recalls all Chevy Bolts for fire risk, recall to cost extra $1B Tribune Content Agency DETROIT — General Motors on Friday issued a new recall that expands to all Chevrolet Bolt EVs and the new EUV for fire risk and will provide customers with an eightyear warranty on new battery modules for the affected cars. The automaker said it expects the recall to cost it an additional $1 billion and is seeking reimbursement for some of that cost from the battery supplier, LG Chem. GM said that, in rare cases, batteries supplied to GM for the Bolts “may have two manufactur-

ing defects – a torn anode tab and folded separator – present in the same battery cell, which increases the risk of fire.” The high voltage batteries used in the Bolts are made by LG Chem’s Ochang, South Korea, facility though GM discovered manufacturing defects in certain battery cells produced at LG manufacturing facilities beyond the Ochang, Korea, plant, GM said. GM’s upcoming EVs will use the automaker’s proprietary Ultium battery system. Last month, GM recalled 68,600 of the model year 2017-19 all-

electric Bolt hatchbacks for the second time in less than a year because of a potential fire risk. The company made the move after two Bolts caught fire without impact in recent months. GM is confirming that at least one of the Bolt fires was battery-related and happened despite the owner getting the fix from GM’s first recall on the cars last November. GM is expanding that second recall to include an additional 9,335 of the 2019 model year Bolts as well as 63,683 of the 2020-22 model year Bolt EV and the new EUV. Most of those are in the

United States. GM said in a statement: “Out of an abundance of caution, GM will replace defective battery modules in Chevrolet Bolt EVs and EUVs with new modules, with an expected additional cost of approximately $1 billion.” In the second-quarter earnings report, GM said the Bolt recall has already cost $800 million. That cost made up the bulk of GM’s $1.3 billion in warranty expenses in the quarter. GM said the batteries with these new modules will come with an eight-year/100,000-mile limited warranty.

The automaker said it is “working aggressively” with LG to increase production as soon as possible. GM will notify customers when replacement parts are ready. In November, GM issued the first recall on the 2017-19 model year Bolts because the vehicles potentially posed a fire risk then. GM said it found five vehicles in which the batteries caught fire without any impact, injuring two people with smoke inhalation. Until customers in the new recall population receive replacement modules, they should:

n Set their car at a 90% state of charge limitation using Target Charge Level mode or have their dealer do it. n Charge their vehicle more frequently and avoid depleting their battery below 70 miles of remaining range. n Park their vehicles outside immediately after charging and do not leave their vehicles charging indoors overnight. Any Bolt owners with additional questions or concerns should go to www.chevy.com/boltev recall. They can also call the Chevrolet EV Concierge 833-EVCHEVY or call their dealer.

Jennifer Vogel attends the “Flag Day” press conference during the 74th annual Cannes Film Festival, July 11.

The film is based on her book, “Flim-Flam Man: The True Story of My Father’s Counterfeit Life.”

Writer admits to feeling excitement, dread as her life becomes a movie Tribune Content Agency MINNEAPOLIS — Tales of the ups and downs of Hollywood don’t get much better than this: “Flag Day” is about the life of Jennifer Vogel and there’s no way it would exist without her. Even so, she was edited out of the film. Based on the Minneapolis writer’s memoir, “Flim-Flam Man: The True Story of My Father’s Counterfeit Life,” the movie depicts Vogel’s adolescence and young adulthood, much of it lived in Minnesota with her father, an arsonist and counterfeiter who disappeared for long stretches of time. The book generated enough buzz that producer Bill Horberg wanted to make it a movie before its 2004 publication. Even then, Sean Penn, who ultimately directed and starred in it, was being considered to play Vogel’s late father. (Penn’s daughter, Dylan, plays young adult Jennifer). A scant 17 years later, moviegoers can see him do just that as “Flag Day” opens this weekend. “I remember Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth, who are the screenwriters, came to visit me,” said Vogel. “I took them on a tour of the city and tried to show them some places that were important to me and my dad. It was a glimpse into the future, that first trip, showing these real things – my old school, our cabin, these landmark places – and thinking how they might be portrayed in a fictional way.” Vogel got her first sense of how that might work when she was sent an early draft of the screenplay. Her husband, journalist Mike Mosedale, interpreted it on the way to their cabin near Bemidji. “He was reading it to me

Daily Cryptoquotes

as I drove and we had to pull over by the side of the highway because we were both crying,” Vogel recalled. Over the 17 years it took to get the movie made, Horberg stuck with the project. It remained an “exciting possibility” that Vogel didn’t want to think about too much, knowing many books get optioned by the movies and never made. Coincidentally, she was Up North again, vacationing with three buddies at a cabin in Two Harbors in January 2019, when things got real. “We had gone trudging through the snow,” recalled Vogel, who returned from the winter hike to find a voice mail message from Horberg. “He said, ‘I’m sticking to that original promise.’ And he’s a guy who never got your expectations up in a way that wasn’t realistic, so I knew it was really happening. I have to tell you my face went completely white. It was a burst of excitement and then acres of dread.” Some of that dread came from knowing she’d have to see heartbreaking scenes from her life reenacted on screen multiple times. But Vogel says Penn welcomed her into the movie, which was shot in and around Winnipeg, Canada, in summer 2019. “I didn’t want to spend my life there. I have other things I want to do, but I did go three times, I guess as an observer. I would give a lot of notes. I was a reality check,” said Vogel, whose third trip to the set included filming a small role as one of her high school teachers. “I’m not a person who loves a lot of attention and the spotlight all that much but I thought, ‘All right, I’m game,’ “ said Vogel, recalling being fussed over by hair, makeup and costume artisans while eating breakfast.

Ultimately, the scene was cut. “It wasn’t my fault, I don’t think,” Vogel joked. But she knows her experience on the set was unusual in a business that typically devalues writers. “I was treated so well and so respectfully. I guess it’s a big deal when you’re playing somebody and the real person shows up. The girl Jadyn [Rylee], who plays tween me, would go, ‘WWJD? What would Jennifer do?’ ” Vogel said. What Jennifer would do is take it with a grain of salt. Vogel was dazzled by the Hollywood magic – she was on the set for an “incredible” scene of a burning building – but she remains puzzled by the whole process. “This whole giant crew and all these actors and Sean, acting and directing at the same time. It was so much effort. And so much care was put into telling this story,” Vogel said. “I can’t help it, I was like, ‘Is it worth all of this?’ It felt like a bit much.” Audiences at the Cannes Film Festival, where “Flag Day” earned a standing ovation last month, thought it was worthwhile. So have the folks who reach out via Twitter to tell Vogel they can relate to her story of surviving childhood traumas. Survival is a key theme of the movie, which closes with a title card that assures viewers Vogel is doing well, living in Minneapolis with her husband and working on a novel (called “Invisible Empire”). “It was fun visiting the set but also a little stressful, watching people act out painful scenes from your life. Some of it was really hard,” said Vogel, shifting into second-person to discuss the disconnect of sitting in the present and reliving the past. “But I could always just go home.”

Bridge

CONSIDER AS MANY PLAYS ALL POSSIBLE In chess, the number of possible moves increases dramatically as the game unfolds. In bridge, though, the number of possible plays decreases with each trick. Plus, the requirement to follow suit further reduces your options. However, the more of those choices you consider, the more likely you are to come up with the best play.

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder In today’s deal, East has to find the lethal defense. West leads the heart four against three no-trump. What should East do? North’s bid of three no-trump was correct. He hoped that the long diamond suit would provide enough tricks for game. Also, it is almost always easier to win nine tricks than 11, especially with no side-suit shortage. The natural instinct is for East to win the first trick with the heart ace and to return a heart, trying to run partner’s suit. But the point-count suggests that West’s suit is unlikely to be that good. Besides, that diamond suit in the dummy is threatening. Unless South has all four missing diamonds, East can cut declarer’s communications in the suit by holding up his ace. However, there is an entry on the board. East must remove that spade ace, and the only winning play is to take the first trick with the heart ace and shift to the spade king. After this defense, declarer can win only two tricks in each suit, finishing down one. Leading an unsupported honor to remove an opponent’s entry card is called the Merrimac Coup. It is named after an American coal-carrying ship that was sunk in Santiago Harbor in 1898 in an effort to tie up the Spanish fleet. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Stewart: Won gold medal in Tokyo From Page B1 an Achilles injury that forced her to miss the 2019 WNBA season, she’s won the 2020 WNBA title and Finals MVP before carrying the Russian team UMMC Ekaterinburg to an undefeated season, a EuroLeague championship and a Russian Premier League Finals title while winning two MVP awards earlier this year. In addition, Stewart captured her second Olympic gold medal with Team USA at the Tokyo Summer Games a day before Ruby’s birth and led the Storm to the WNBA’s inaugural Commissioner’s Cup title on Aug. 12, three days after becoming a new mom. “Stewie is a machine,

man,” Storm guard Sue Bird said. “At this point, it’s just what she does. She lives her life the way she wants to. Point blank. That’s it. Nothing to elaborate there, which is amazing. A lot of us can’t do that. So, she’s really a role model in that way and in that sense.” Admittedly, it took the 40-year-old Bird, who is engaged to soccer star Megan Rapinoe, several years to feel comfortable publicly talking about her private life. “When you figure out who you are off the court, it just lends to a happy place on the court,” Bird said. “It really does. She’s only going to get better. She’s only going to mature within her game. And the sky is the limit. “It’s crazy. I don’t even

know how old the kid is? I think she’s turning 27 maybe. And she’s already accomplished everything you can hope to accomplish in a career. I’m just so happy that she’s living her life. I’m so happy for her and Marta. Ruby is the cutest. And I’m obviously happy that she is on the Storm.” With eight regularseason games remaining heading into a Sunday matchup against the Washington Mystics, Seattle (17-7 through Saturday) is jockeying with the Las Vegas Aces and Connecticut Sun, who are tied at 17-6, for the best record in the league. The Nos. 1 and 2 playoff seeds receive a coveted double bye to the semifinals. “There’s still a lot of

matched 20 team scoring records and was second only to Gordie Howe in points by a right winger in NHL history. He also appeared in eight NHL All-Star Games. In 1976, Gilbert received the Bill

games to be played,” Bird said. “Obviously, it’s not a ton of games, but there’s enough where things are going to shift and move in the standings. Teams are going to make runs. For us, we can’t get too far down the line. “We haven’t really been together that much as a group. The Commissioner’s Cup and (Friday), that’s the two times our roster has been together in over a month. So I think we have another level that we can get to, to be honest.” And it certainly bodes well for the Storm that its MVP candidate Stewart is feeling better than ever. “I’m really happy with where I am,” she said. “Just appreciating my life and the fact that I’m able to do all of these things and be my best in both aspects.”

Vikings: Rally From Page B1 the last score came on the final play of the game. “They never gave up hope that we were going to fight our way back into the game,” Murphy said of his team. “Once we were able to execute, we were able to do some things. I was pleased with the way the young guys were able to get back up. The young guys were really nervous. Once they were punched in the face, they stepped up in roles they weren’t expected to. I think we showed a lot of grit.” The Vikings host Franklin of Elk Grove in their first home game of the season on Friday.

Bulldogs open by crushing Davis, 45-8 VACAVILLE — Darian Leon-Guerrero scored on runs of 65 and 62 yard, and caught a 57-yard touchdown pass as the Vacaville High football team rolled to a 45-8 season-opening victory at Zunino Stadium, Friday night. Leon-Guerrero, who ran for 162 yards on just eight carries, got the Bulldogs on the board 11 seconds into the game by scoring on a 65-yard

run with Ariel Till kicking the first of six conversions. The Blue Devils got their first and only lead of the night by scoring on a 4-yard run and added a two-point conversion with 8:16 to go in the first quarter. The lead lasted less than 2 1/2 minutes as Ryan Vaughn fired a 57-yard TD strike to Anthony Wiley to put the Bulldogs up for good at 14-8. Vaughn added a 9-yard TD run to make it 21-8 at the end of the first quarter. Vaughn’s 57-yard touchdown pass to LeonGuerrero and the latter’s 62-yard scoring romp made it 35-8 at the half. Till booted a 41-yard field goal with 50 seconds left in the third quarter and Vaughn tacked on his second TD run, this one from 13 yards out, with 10:21 to go in the game to wrap up the scoring. Vaughn finished 10-of-22 for 206 yards, adding 32 yards rushing. Blake Espino rushed for 59 yards on two carries. Timothy Plowman led in receptions with three for 38 yards.
