LOUISIANA

Ida makes landfall with winds stronger than Katrina Tribune Content Agency Hurricane Ida barreled into the Louisiana coast on Sunday, packing winds more powerful than Hurricane Katrina and a devastating storm surge that threatens to inundate New Orleans with mass flooding, power outages and destruction.

The Category 4 storm roared ashore at 11:55 a.m. local time near Port Fourchon, Louisiana, with top winds of 150 miles per hour, the National Hurricane Center said. It comes on

the 16th anniversary of Katrina’s landfall, which left the region in ruins and killed more than 1,800 people.

Ida, so sprawling that its tropical-force winds extend 140 miles, will be a bruising test for the region’s levees and infrastructure rebuilt after Katrina. It arrives on the heels of a United Nations scientific report warning that weather will only grow more extreme as global warming intensifies. Six tropical cyclones have now struck the U.S. See Winds, Page A7

FAIRFIELD — Solano County residents can expect hazy – but relatively smoke-free – skies Monday as a shift in prevailing winds that started Sunday continues.

Bay Area officials inititiated an air quality advisory Sunday for Monday due to wildfire smoke that’s moving across the region.

Air quality is expected to be mostly moderate Monday across the nine-county Bay Area region, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District reports.

Pollution levels are not expected to exceed federal health standards.

FAIRFIELD — A popular dinner-fundraiser that was canceled last year due to the pandemic returned this year with safety protocols in place and a new beneficiary.

Prime Rib in the Park has been a reliable fundraising event for local groups over the past 16 years.

It returned Saturday after a hiatus last year for another entertaining and delicious evening.

“Because of Covid we couldn’t do it last year,” said Fairfield Host Lions member Nancy Meadows Trigueiro. “Everyone is excited to come back.”

It was a sellout this year, again, with proceeds from the event going to benefit the Fairfield Police Activities League.

This huge dinner, which includes a live auction, silent auction, dessert auction and prize drawing along with good MARSHALL food, was sponsored once again by the Fairfield Host Lions Club at McNaughton Park in the city’s downtown.

“It is a way to recognize local Fairfield police efforts in the community,” Trigueiro said.

We figured since it was still warm it was a “fresh kill” so we stuck it in our golf bag and took it home to try and cook it. Mud hens are bottom feeders so when we tried to clean it, the smell of what it had been eating stunk up the whole house.

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County supervisors this week lowered business licence fees 75% for small home businesses.

The action takes the initial fee from $429 to $110, and a renewal license from $277 to $72 for those qualified businesses with gross incomes of $15,000 or less each year.

The county will initially take the word of the

license applicant but could require proof of business income as necessary.

In other action, the board: n Approved the Notice of Completion for the Claybank Campus Perimeter Security Fence Replacement Project at 2500 Clay Bank Road in Fairfield.

The cost was $785,047, of which $518,937 was construction. The fund balance was $200,953, which will be used for project-related costs including some maintenance. The contractor was Golden Bay Fence Plus Iron Works Inc. of Stockton. n Renewed the Behavioral Health performance contract with the California Department of Health Care Services through June 30, 2024, outlining conditions and requirements to receive funding

for Mental Health Services Act, Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness, Community Mental Health Services Block Grant and Substance Abuse Block Grant programs. n Received the Sheriff’s Inmate Welfare Fund Report of Expenditures that ended June 30. n Accepted the $257,698 California Office of Emergency Services grant for the county Victim Services Program through Dec. 31. n Approved an appropriation transfer of $493,446 to recognize unanticipated revenue for Juvenile Justice Realignment Block Grant-Juvenile Justice Realignment. n Authorized the Solano County Probation Department to participate in the Youth Programs and

Facilities grant program funded through the state general fund and administered by the Board of State and Community Corrections, and approved an appropriations transfer of $152,571 for unanticipated revenue from the state board. n Approved an agreement with Yolo County for each jurisdiction’s Public Works agencies on a joint one-time chip seal maintenance project of various Yolo County roads. n Approved submitting a request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for a $133,590 allocation from the state Pedestrian and Bicycle Project funding for the Benicia Road Complete Streets Project for

the current fiscal year. n Approved an appropriations transfer for $200,000 to recognize unanticipated revenue for the California Department of Public Health California Safe Schools for All, program and approved a $317,750 amendment to the contract with California Health Medical Reserve Corps, for a total contract of $365,750, to support the project’s goals through June 30, 2022. n Approved a $25,000 revenue contract with Solano Community College for the Department of General Services to provide vehicle leasing and vehicle maintenance services from Sept. 1 through May 31, 2022.

RIO VISTA — Firefighters with the Montezuma Fire Protection District and the River Delta Fire Protections District came together early this month to standardize training for their fire personnel.

While both districts have been collaborating in a number of training areas and with mutual aid, they recently conducted a state-recognized Firefighter-I academy for their newer personnel.

“Firefighting involves many skills, but one of the most important elements is teamwork,” Montezuma Chief Michael O’Connor said in a prepared statement. “Everyone needs to know his or her job and members have to count on each other when things get challenging.”

“Our district relies on volunteers to keep the station staffed and one of our minimum requirements for them is the state’s Firefighter-I certification,” River Delta’s Chief Paul Cutino said in the statement. “We try to have eight members on duty 24/7 and this academy has helped increase the number of qualified members available to fill those duty slots.”

The River Delta District covers the unincorporated area around Isleton with these volunteers.

Most of Montezuma’s members respond from their homes or jobs when an emergency call comes in. Montezuma Fire Station 51 in the Rio Vista is staffed with firefighters during the week.

“Every fire chief needs to have a reasonable expectation as to how his personnel can perform, regardless of who comes for a call,” O’Connor said in the statement.

“The fire academy and the other training activities we have engaged in that are based on state and national standards provide consistency in performance. Our volunteers are valuable assets to our community as well as part of our community’s history. We owe it to them to provide them with the tools and skills to be successful and to be sure to come home at the end of a difficult call.”

Cutino in the statement pointed out that in addition to FirefighterI training, the members of the two districts train in other specialized skills such as certified rescue swimmers, credentialed wildland firefighters, expandedemergencymedical qualifications and managing traffic at highway incidents.

“We’re basically in a rural area where it is common for one agency to help another,” Cutino said in the statement. “Having responding members who have the same baseline training and qualifications can make operations more seamless when we have to work together.”

In addition to Firefighter-I certifications, many members have expanded EMT credentials, rescue swimmer wildcertifications, fire certifications and National Traffic Inci-

dent Management certifications for highway incidents. Recruits during the academy earned additional state fire training credentials in hazardous materials, wildland firefighting, confined space, firefighter survival, incident command systems, auto extrication and live fire training.

The River Delta and Montezuma fire districts would like to express appreciation for several agencies and individuals who helped support the joint recruit fire academy with the use of their facilities, materials and instructors.

Those include the board of directors for both fire districts, the Consumnes Fire District, Moraga Orinda Fire District, Contra Costa Fire Protection District, East Contra Costa Fire District and West Sacramento Fire Department.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). There’s a quiet comfort in the way some people go out of their way to make you feel special. Should it really be such a rarity? How can you get more of this in your life?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You do not lack motivation; though the details of a successful process are not as clear to you as they must be in order for you to follow through.

Take it slowly, step by step, making sure you really understand each move.

West led the club ace, East playing the queen to show the queen and the jack (or an unlikely singleton queen).

West continued with the club four, East winning with the jack and returning a third round.

West won with the king, then returned a heart. Declarer drew trumps and cashed his heart ace, dropping West’s jack. Declarer had lost three tricks, so he couldn’t afford to surrender a diamond trick.

KISS nixes show after Stanley tests positive for Covid Tribune Content Agency They, want to quarantine all night, and social distance in coming days.

KISS canceled their Thursday night show in Pennsylvania after singer Paul Stanley tested positive for Covid, the band said on Twitter.

On the upside, the 69-year-old New York City native and his bandmates have reportedly been inoculated, but Stanley said he’s still experiencing some symptoms.

“I had been sick with flu-like symptoms and was tested repeatedly and was negative.

As of late this afternoon I tested positive,” he wrote Thursday.

Stanley also addressed an earlier

rumor he’d apparently heard, which made it sound as though he was ready to be intubated.

“PEOPLE!!! I am fine! I am not in ICU!” the rocker tweeted. “My heart allows me to do 26 miles a day on my bike! I don’t know where this came from but it’s absolute nonsense.”

While vaccinated people can still test positive for Covid, they are less likely to come down with severe symptoms.

KISS promised information “ASAP” with regards to future show dates.

Their “End of the World Tour,” which is billed as the 48-year-old band’s last, is scheduled to roll through North Carolina on Saturday.

Opinion A6 Monday, August 30, 2021 — DAILY REPUBLIC

calmatters commentary

If recalled, what’s next for Gavin Newsom?

P

oliticians and pundits — including this one — have given much attention to how the recall of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and his replacement by a Republican would affect state government.

Republicans hope that changing occupants of the Capitol’s corner office would be a rebirth of relevance for their beleaguered party. The leading GOP candidate, talk show host Larry Elder, feeds that hope with all sorts of promises about what he would do as governor to change the state’s political course.

Democrats point to Elder and his promises as a doomsday scenario that threatens all that they hold dear, from abortion rights and greenhouse gas controls to medical care for undocumented immigrants.

The hopes and fears expressed by both sides, of course, are playing to their Dan Walters voter bases, seeking to motivate them to cast ballots. The reality is that were Elder or any other Republican to replace Newsom, he could have very little impact in the remaining 15 or so months of the governor’s term.

As pointed out previously in this space, Democrats hold three-quarters of the Legislature’s seats and could easily thwart any major moves by a GOP governor while continuing to pass legislation, including a state budget, over his vetoes.

He (all of the major Republican contenders are male) could issue proclamations, pardon state prison inmates, appoint judges to vacancies and fill a vacant U.S. Senate seat, but that’s about it without approval from a hostile, Democrat-dominated Legislature.

In some respects, the most intriguing impact of a recall would be on Newsom’s political career, which at one time seemed destined to include a bid for the White House.

His recall, if it happens, would result from a low turnout of Democratic voters and a high turnout of anti-Newsom Republicans. However, in the public at large and among all registered voters, he still enjoys fairly strong support, recent polling has found.

That anomaly suggests that Newsom could, if he wishes, simply turn around and run for a second term in 2022 with a strong probability of success. Thus, Newsom could still be governor until 2027, but even so, his pathway to the White House remains uncertain.

President Joe Biden probably will run for re-election in 2024, and if he doesn’t, Vice President Kamala Harris would be the presumptive favorite, at least among Democrats. If Newsom is serious about seeking the presidency, therefore, he would need a parking place to await an opening in 2028 or beyond.

That place could be in the U.S. Senate.

Newsom has climbed California’s political ladder rung-by-rung and the next logical step, given the current Democratic hold on the White House, would be the Senate seat held by Dianne Feinstein for the past three decades.

Feinstein’s seat will be up in 2024 and it’s reasonable to assume that at 91, she would not seek another six-year term. It’s even possible that she would retire early, particularly if Republicans recapture control of the Senate in 2022.

Logically, therefore, if Newsom is recalled this year, he should hope that Feinstein sticks around at least for another year, preventing a GOP governor from naming her successor. As either a re-elected governor or a popular ex-governor, he could then run for her seat in 2024.

It’s the same scenario that confronted Newsom’s quasi-uncle, Jerry Brown, in 1982. As governor, he had already run for the White House twice, and needed a Senate seat to keep his presidential hopes alive, but lost to Republican Pete Wilson.

Newsom needs to succeed where Brown failed, or probably kiss his presidential ambitions goodbye.

He authored a shockingly horrible Mistake Three: Why are we “treaty” with the Taliban: don’t shoot leaving at the start of the fighting at us and we’ll leave by May 1. When season rather than the end? When the Taliban balked, he sweetened the Prime Minister Ashraf Ghani visited offer – we’ll require the Afghan govthe president, he begged that the ernment to release all 5,000 Taliban

prisoners (including ISIS). Thus undermined, the Afghan government saw that the die was cast. Trump and Biden were joined at the hip in this: They both wanted out, and damn the consequences.

Does anyone think that had Trump won re-election our departure would have been more graceful?

May 1 would have arrived too soon for much better organization. And we’ve now learned that Trump left behind 17,000 unprocessed Special Immigrant Visas and that every effort to process them was stopped

by Steven Miller and henchmen.

Trump would have left all our Afghan helpers in Afghanistan.

George W? That requires a 5,000-word essay.

Why do I fault American character? As our finest retired diplomat, Ryan Crocker, has recently written, Americans are noted for impatience.

A small low-cost body of troops left until the end of the fighting season would have prevented all this. But we’re impatient.

Second, we feel a duty to, in Andrew Jackson’s words, “expand the area of freedom.” Someday I might write more about our notion that we’re a light to the world, but not today. In short, we’ve got to put a lid on American Exceptionalism before we lose a future duel with a very dangerous China.

Meanwhile, I wait with anxiety to see if Biden can recover. There’s a chance that this will end better and this nightmare recede.

Afghanistan is only 93% as large as Texas. Vietnam and Afghanistan were lost because diplomacy prevented victory.

War is ugly but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of mind and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Warfare rules are hard, as is war.

Only following them brings success.

Fire crews in ‘pretty good firefight’ as they brace for red flag conditions Tribune Content Agency

Susan Hiland/Daily Republic

Fairfield Police Chief Deanna Cantrell enjoys an evening out at the Prime Rib in the Park at McNaughton Park in downtown Fairfield, Saturday.

Prime From Page One a property.

“We will find a home for the kids,” Marshall said.

It has been a challenge to keep doing programs that are interesting to the teens with Covid-19 and not being able to meet in person, but they have solved some of that with online tutorials and programs.

Marshall said he did notice a decrease in teens participating in online activities and understands the reluctance of parents for their teens to go out into large group activities.

“Covid has made everything a challenge,” Marshall said.

PAL officials recently decided to have a Parking Lot Skate Night, which Marshall said was quite popular.

Blane Christian, 13, and Lanissa Celaya, 13, both of Fairfield, joined PAL just because of the Skate Night.

“It was a lot of fun,”

Skies From Page One Saturday. That advisory was upgraded to an air pollution warning Friday for both Friday and Saturday, then extended Saturday to include Sunday.

That warning was downgraded Sunday to an air quality advisory for Monday.

An air quality advisory is a step below an air pollution warning – called a Spare the Air alert – that triggers bans on most indoor burning (fireplaces, wood-burning and pellet stoves) and outdoor burning (fire pits and similar options), as well as recommendations for people most vulnerable to breathing polluted air to seek shelter indoors.

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 and Dixon, east into Winters and Yolo County.

Moderate air pollution levels are also expected Monday across the YoloSolano district.

Air quality Sunday was moderate for much of the day in western Solano County and entered the good range for a time in Vallejo and Benicia. Air pollution levels Sunday were moderate and at times unhealthy for sensitive groups in eastern Solano County and neighborning Winters.

Christian said.

Celaya said she really liked PAL and couldn’t wait to get involved with more activities.

They both were helping with the dinner by being part of the cleanup crew. It was something they didn’t mind doing.

Police Chief Deanna Cantrell thought Fairfield PAL was an important program for the city.

“It helps us reach out to low-income kids and give them an opportunity to do things that they don’t normally get exposed to,” Cantrell said.

The police chief said she hoped the positive interaction would also be a benefit for the teens since the Police Department puts on the program and they would come to see working for the police or the city as a good thing.

“PAL is important for so many reasons,” she said.

The Fairfield Host Lions Club is the original service club in Solano County and since 1924 has been providing a multitude of services through a number of fundraisers.

Districts that monitor air quality classify pollution levels on a sliding scale that ranges from good, to moderate, to unhealthy for sensitive groups, to unhealthy, to very unhealthy, to hazardous.

The Caldor Fire that’s burning in the Sierra Nevada in El Dorado County continues to send smoke into the air, with some of it drifting west across the Sacramento region and pushing into the Yolo-Solano area. Smoke from other Northern California and western wildfires is also contributing to ghe haze Air quality in communities near the Caldor Fire has at times jumped into the hazardous range.

Smoke can irritate the eyes and airways, causing coughing, a scratchy throat and irritated sinuses. Elevated smallparticle pollution in the air at ground level – such as soot and smoke – can trigger wheezing in people who have asthma, emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, known more commonly as COPD. Air pollution district officials report that elderly people, children and those with respiratory illnesses “are particularly susceptible to elevated air pollution levels and should take extra precautions to avoid exposure.”

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — The Caldor Fire burning near South Lake Tahoe continued its slow creep east on Sunday, with crews engaged in a “pretty good firefight” as they braced for the arrival of strong winds, according to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection operations chief Cody Bogan.

Crews were primarily focused on two areas, including the Delta division on the fire’s northwest perimeter, which spurred new evacuation orders around Pleasant Valley Road over the weekend.

But the majority of growth and activity was on the fire’s northeastern edge, near the town of Strawberry and in the direction of the South Lake Tahoe basin, officials said. By Sunday morning, the fire had seared through 156,515 acres and was 19% contained.

Firefighters on Saturday made a substantial stand to protect Straw-

berry, including the historic Strawberry Lodge. Flames at one point were within feet of the town’s general store, but crews were able to keep them at bay through strategic backfiring and hose line operations.

But the biggest threat to the Tahoe Basin could be yet to come, as the National Weather Service has issued red flag warnings indicating gusty wind conditions in the fire area from 11 a.m. Monday to 11 p.m. Tuesday.

“We are expecting a big change in the weather pattern,” incident meteorologist Jim Dudley said during a briefing Saturday evening. “What will happen is that the winds that have been affecting the fire on the ground level . . . are going to be aided by southwesterly winds aloft. “ Officials said the winds will meet with hot, dry conditions to create elevated fire weather concerns. Gusts on Monday could be as strong as 35 mph.

Crews on Sunday will be working hard and fast to get ahead of the shift.

“We have one more day of fairly light winds across the fire, and then things change later Sunday night, Monday, and they will continue into Tuesday,” Dudley said.

Adding to the challenges is the area’s topography, which includes deep drainages and canyons that can act as funnels for the wind and flames, officials said.

“We have a saying: Where water flows, fire goes,” said fire behavior analyst Steven Volmer.

Volmer said the fire is currently spotting at distances as far as threefourths of a mile, and the probability of those spots creating new fires is 90%. In the days to come, that probability will increase to 95%.

Winds have long been the “X” factor in the state’s extreme fire behavior, officials said, so the forecast for the week could spell trouble for crews and for residents waiting for answers.

“We’ve had spotting occurring with these weaker winds,” said Cal Fire public information

officer Henry Herrera.

“So once they reach those [higher] speeds, there is potential for increased spotting, and for the spotting distance to increase as well.”

Residents in many areas near the fire are watching with concern and wondering whether and when it is time to take action.

In the Christmas Valley – the first part of the Tahoe basin to be placed under a voluntary evacuation notice – resident Carol Bin, 61, moved her horses to nearby Gardnerville, Nev., last week. She said she was hunkering down with air purifiers to protect against the fire’s thick yellow-gray smoke while she waited to see what the blaze would do next.

A former Big Bear resident, Bin said she has faced evacuations before. She wasn’t eager to do it again.

“The hardest part is to pack,” she said. “Do I pack for a week? Or do I pack like I’m never coming back?”

Winds From Page One this year. Floods killed 20 people this month in Tennessee. And droughtand heat-wave-fueled wildfires are raging in California, Minnesota, Greece and Turkey.

Ida hits Louisiana at a particularly vulnerable moment. The state’s hospitals are already overwhelmed with more than 2,600 coronavirus patients. Just 41% of the population is fully vaccinated.

“I feel sick to my stomach watching,” Eric Blake, a forecaster at the National Hurricane Center said on Twitter.

“This is a very sobering morning.”

Ida, which came ashore about 60 miles south of New Orleans, is expected to drive up ocean levels as much as 16 feet and dump 2 feet of rain. Winds will be strong enough to rip roofs from houses, and snap trees and power poles. Blackouts could last weeks.

About 80,000 homes and businesses were without power at 11:20 a.m. local time, according to Poweroutage.us, which tracks utility outages.

In addition to Ida, the hurricane center is tracking Tropical Storm Julian in the central Atlantic, as well as three other potential storms there.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Nora is raking Mexico’s Pacific coast.

New Orleans asked residents to evacuate or take shelter. The levee gates are closed in many areas and hospital wards were cleared out. Most oil production in the Gulf of Mexico is shut down.

Thousands of people have fled the region.

Utility workers play in the wind from Hurricane Ida as they wait for the storm to pass to begin repairs in New Orleans, Louisiana, Sunday. from Chicago who was stranded in New Orleans because his flight was canceled, tore apart a plastic umbrella bag to fashion a rain-proof hood as he stood inside the oldest cathedral in the U.S., St. Louis Cathedral, as the first gales began to lash the city.

“It’s in God’s hands now,” Tovar said in an interview. “Hopefully, we can get out Tuesday. Stay safe everyone and try to stay inside.”

The storm could damage close to 1 million homes along the coast, according to CoreLogic. It’s forecast to run directly over chemical plants, refineries and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port. All told, damages and losses could exceed $40 billion, said Chuck Watson, a disaster modeler at Enki Research.

“It could be catastrophic,” said Jim Rouiller, lead meteorologist at the Energy Weather Group.

In the hours before

landfall, sidewalks and normally bustling squares in the heart of the city’s tourist district were deserted. Trash cans tipped over in the wind and rolled in the street.

Even if the levee system holds and keeps the surge at bay, New Orleans could face a major flood risk from the rain alone, said Ryan Truchelut, president of Weather Tiger LCC. FEMA has deployed about 2,500 people to Louisiana and states including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas.

President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency for Louisiana. New Orleans is below sea level and depends on levees and pumps to keep the ocean and river out.

The Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans has already risen about 2 feet from Saturday and is forecast to rise 4 feet higher later Sunday, the National Weather Service said.

As of Sunday,

537 flights had been canceled in New Orleans, Dallas and Houston through Monday, according to FlightAware, an airline tracking service.

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was thronged with local residents lining up for outbound flights or trying to rent vehicles to flee the city. Queues at rental car kiosks were hours long.

Oil explorers bracing for the storm have already halted the equivalent of more than 1.2 million barrels of daily crude production.

Royal Dutch Shell Plc, BP Plc and others are shutting offshore platforms and evacuating crews.

The Gulf is home to 16% of U.S. crude production, 2% of its natural gas output, and 48% of the nation’s refining capacity. Ida could also flood cotton, corn, soybean and sugarcane crops, said Don Keeney, a meteorologist with commercial forecaster Maxar.

the strike indicated it had “a substantial amount of explosive material” aboard, he said.

A Navy hospitalman, an Army staff sergeant, and 11 Marines were killed in the suicide bombing, which wounded an additional 18 U.S. service members and killed dozens of Afghans seeking to flee. The bombing at the airport’s Abbey Gate, where the U.S. was processing potential evacuees, was carried out by ISIS-K, an Afghan offshoot of the terror organization.

Before the transfer took place, Biden and first lady Jill Biden met with

families of the service members who died.

Biden warned ISIS on Thursday that the U.S. would “hunt you down and make you pay.” The Pentagon said Saturday that the U.S. killed two ISIS-K members and wounded a third in a retaliatory air strike.

As vice president, Biden took part in a 2016 dignified transfer ritual for a soldier killed in action in Afghanistan.

Barack Obama attended two such events as president and Donald Trump took part in four when he was president.

Biden said Thursday he had “some sense” of

the loss for families of the slain service members, noting that his son, Beau Biden, had served in the Army in Iraq before dying of brain cancer. ”You get this feeling like you’re being sucked into a black hole in the middle of your chest; there’s no way out,” Biden said. “My heart aches for you.”

Biden has been criticized by lawmakers and foreign leaders over the execution of the U.S. withdrawal. He has acknowledged his administration did not anticipate the quick collapse of the Afghan government.

49ers rotate QBs Garoppolo, Lance freely in romp Eric Branch

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

The question of the summer: Jimmy Garoppolo or Trey Lance?

The answer for Week 1: yes?

It appears the 49ers could very well open the regular season with Garoppolo as their starting quarterback. And rookie QB Trey Lance replacing him in midseries. And Garoppolo returning on the same drive. And Lance spell-

ing him. And fans getting dizzy.

And opposing defenses staying on their heels – if the 49ers’ rotating QB plan is successful.

Based on the unique way the 49ers’ top two quarterback were utilized Sunday in their preseason finale against the Raiders, the Lions, their Week 1 opponent, should prepare a defensive game plan that accounts for Garoppolo running head coach Kyle Shanahan’s traditional offense.

And Lance running zone

reads, QB draws, naked bootlegs and other concepts that highlight his mobility that Shanahan didn’t unveil in their meaningless 34-10 win over Las Vegas.

Shanahan was asked if he wanted opponents to have in their mind that the Garoppolo-Lance shuffle is a regular-season option.

“Yeah, it is an option,” Shanahan said, “whether it’s in their mind or not.”

Garoppolo and Lance rotated throughout the 49ers’ first two drives before Garoppolo put on a

baseball cap and became a spectator.

The tally from those two drives, which both ended with QB touchdown runs against an opponent that rested its starters: Garoppolo played 14 snaps (completing 4 of 7 passes for 64 yards) and Lance logged 10 (eight handoffs, one incompletion, one run) while they rotated aggressively.

For example, Garoppolo began the game by playing three snaps. Lance played a snap. Garoppolo was in

for a play. Lance took four straight snaps. And Garoppolo, who evidently forgot the game didn’t count in the standings, capped the 10-play, 68-yard drive by recklessly lowering his throwing shoulder and getting walloped by two defenders on a 1-yard touchdown run.

The 49ers averaged 6.2 yards per play on their game-opening touchdown drives against a collection of backups.

“It’s tough for defenses to handle that,” Garop-

polo said. “I’ve never been in that situation, but just seeing it firsthand here today, it’s hard on them.”

Lance primarily handed off on zone-read plays on the first two series before he waltzed into the end zone untouched on a 2-yard run to finish a 14-play, 75-yard march. Lance, 6-foot-4 and 224 pounds, rushed for 1,100 yards in his lone season as a starter at North Dakota State.

Hammon’s well-deserved SCC opens time in NBA is coming VB season by LOCAL REPORT

splitting pair of matches

Ron Cook

PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE

T

he NBA isn’t quite ready for Becky Hammon.

That is the league’s problem, not Hammon’s.

It’s sad that it will be huge news when – not if – Hammon gets one of the NBA’s 30 head coaching jobs.

She has proven she is qualified, regardless of her sex. But it still will be a historic hire. She will be the first woman to hold such a position.

Not that bursting through that barrier and making history is what drives Hammon, who was a finalist for the Portland Trail Blazers job in June and interviewed with the Orlando Magic this spring, the Indiana Pacers in 2020 and the Milwaukee Bucks in 2018.

Wouldn’t it have been appropriate if Hammon had gotten the Trail Blazers’ job, which went to Chauncey Billups?

“Please don’t hire me to check a box,” she told the Associated Press earlier this month. “That’s the worst thing you can do for me. Hire me because of my skill sets and coaching, who I am as a person, hire me for those.”

The late, great Pat Summitt could have been the first woman to coach an NBA team. She was more than qualified, her knowledge of basketball second to none and her ability to demand discipline from her players impressive. Summitt turned down the chance to coach the University of Tennessee men’s team on more than one occasion, choosing to stick with the women’s team. She won eight NCAA championships and made it to 18 Final Fours during her fabulous run from 1974-2012.

It’s easy to think the Tennessee men would have been better off with Summitt than with any of the nine male coaches they had during her time in Knoxville.

Hammon is just as ready to be an NBA head coach. She has worked on five-time NBA champion Gregg Popovich’s staff with the San Antonio Spurs since 2014.

She coached the Spurs to the NBA Summer League championship in 2015. She has been Popovich’s top assistant since 2018. She ran the Spurs’ bench during a game in December after Popovich was

San Antonio Spurs assistant Becky Hammon became the first woman finalist for an NBA head coaching vacancy. thrown out and received rave reviews afterward.

“Becky has definitely been instrumental for us every time we step out there on court, even in timeouts with Pop as the head coach,” forward DeMar DeRozan said that night. “She’s quick on her feet, understanding defensive coverages, where we should be offensively, what we should run, different mismatches. Her words on the side are always instrumental.”

You think that was a nice endorsement of Hammon?

You haven’t read anything yet.

“I’ve played under two of the sharpest minds in the history of sports in Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich,” former NBA star Pau Gasol wrote in a letter supporting Hammon. “I’m telling you Becky Hammon can coach. I’m not saying she can coach pretty well. I’m not saying she can coach enough to get by. I’m not saying she can coach almost at the level of the NBA’s male coaches. I’m saying Becky Hammon can coach NBA basketball. Period.”

Popovich long has pushed for Hammon: “She knows her stuff.

She’s confident. She’s got opinions and solid notions about basketball.

Obviously, she was a great player.

As a point guard, she’s a leader.

She’s fiery. She’s got intelligence.

Our guys just respected the heck out of her.”

That last line is significant, the most important thing Popovich said about Hammon. No coach – male or female – can be successful without the respect of the players, no matter how well he or she knows the Xs and Os. Hammon, 44, has earned it, not just with her work with the Spurs, but with her 16-year career in the WNBA with the New York Liberty and the San Antonio Stars. She was a six-time WNBA All-Star, twice making first team. She also was a three-time All-American at Colorado State.

Hammon’s time is coming.

That barrier will come crashing down, sooner rather than later.

Tony Kemp’s late home run salvages frustrating game, A’s win over Yankees Tribune Content Agency OAKLAND — Tony Kemp’s two-run home run in the eighth inning gave the A’s a 3-1 lead against the New York Yankees. His fifth home run of the year was his third against the Yankees.

Kemp homered off Yankees reliever Chad Green in a rally that started with Mark Canha’s double over left fielder Joey Gallo’s head.

In his third big league start this year, Paul Blackburn blanked the red-hot Yankees lineup through five innings. He gave up five hits, all singles hit in each inning, and struck out one and walked one.

The A’s lathered up a few more scoring opportunities against Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery, but were characteristically fruitless in their attempts to score.

The A’s loaded the bases on a pair of hits from Yan Gomes and Jed Lowrie followed by an error by third baseman Gio Urshela on Matt Chapman’s grounder.

Canha, in need of a big hit to break a slump in which he’s batting .141 in August, was called out on an inning-ending double play. But the call was reversed on replay, giving the A’s a run, an unearned one for Montgomery.

The Yankees squeezed out an

unearned run against reliever Jake Diekman thanks to back-to-back errors on pinch hitter Anthony Rizzo’s at-bat in the seventh inning.

Gary Sanchez at second base with two outs, Rizzo hit a pop up foul that popped out of catcher Gomes’ glove. Rizzo hit a ground ball 88mph to Chapman, who was vacuuming up sharp grounders all afternoon, but saw it slide under his glove to score the game-tying run.

The A’s loaded the bases against Jonathan Loaisiga, but Gomes struck out to end the threat.

Yusmeiro Petit, Deolis Guerra and Andrew Chafin pitched scoreless innings to keep the A’s in it.

SALINAS — The Solano Community College volleyball team opened its 2021 season by splitting a pair of matches in the Hartnell Classic, Friday, falling 25-20, 25-17, 25-13 to San Joaquin Delta before defeating Hartnell, 25-17, 23-25, 25-15, 25-17.

Against SJD, Sammy Brown led with seven kills, Rocelyn Hongria added five kills and a solo block, and Mylei Moli had four kills.

Kailyn Kaiser led the defense with 10 digs, Hongria following with nine. Anaya Rodriguez had 11 assist and seven digs, and Jeryn Baldonado added eight assists and served 8 for 8.

“It was a very competitive match with some amazing rallies,” Falcons coach Darla Williams said. “The ball just didn’t fall our way all the time. Delta was a very scrappy team.”

In the win over Hartnell, Kaiser led Solano with 21 digs on defense, Brown had a few doubles with 12 kills, 18 digs and serving 10 for 10.

Dani Rydjord also contributed 12 kills and led the team with four

blocks. Mylei Moli added 11 digs and served 14 of 15 with two aces.

Chris Cruz served 14 of 15 with two aces. Rodriguez ran the offense with 23 assists, chipped in 12 digs and two aces.

Gina Garlick added three blocks to round out the team’s total of nine solo blocks and six assist blocks. Crystal Carroll added four digs and served 6 of 7. Bryanna Lott had two digs and a kill, while Sarah Elledge added two kills and a solo block.

“This match against Hartnell was a full team effort,” Williams said. “We had a starting player (outside hitter) go down at the start of the first set and the team regrouped and got the job done. We will (assess) the injury with trainers on Monday, but we were very impressed with the team’s focus to win the match.”

The Falcons play in the Folsom Lake Classic on Wednesday and in the in the Modesto Classic on Friday.

Giants blanked by Braves 9-0, now it’s time for mighty Brewers, Dodgers Tribune Content Agency ATLANTA — Baseball players are taught not to look ahead too far. One game at a time and all that. So, as a team, the Giants can ill afford to look onward to next weekend’s humongous series against the rival Dodgers.

Not when the mighty Brewers, who lead the National League Central, will be at Oracle Park for the next four games.

It’s different for Anthony DeSclafani because he’s a starting pitcher, and he’s lined up to start

Friday night’s Dodger opener. It’s OK for him to begin focusing on his next assignment. It sure beats harping on Sunday’s 9-0 blowout loss to the Braves.

DeSclafani, who has been dealing with right ankle woes and was reinstated from the injured list before the game, looked magnificent for three innings while retiring nine of 10 batters. As if he were pitching as he did in the first half, like an All-Star.

However, all five of DeSclafani’s See Giants, Page B8

L

egendary Devo rocker and winemaker Gerald Casale graciously welcomed me to his home in Napa for a glass of wine.

Casale, who loves to cook, was busy making chopped salads and grilled jumbo shrimp in the kitchen a few weeks ago when I arrived. This is a side of the musician that most fans don’t get to see.

“You have to have a little food,” he insisted while pouring me a glass of The 50 by 50, his lovely rosé of pinot noir.

We chatted about his upcoming four-concert tour with Devo and the progress on his Napa winery.

Introduction to California wines A food revolution was going on in Los Angeles and San Francisco about the same time the band became successful.

“In L.A., the ‘Mad Men’ era was gone and they were turning more to farm to table,” he said, crediting chefs Wolfgang Puck, Jeremiah Tower, Michael McCarthy and Bruce Marder for starting the movement. These chefs introduced Casale to California wines at a time when they weren’t respected around the world.

“They were friends with guys like [Mike] Grgich and [Robert] Mondavi, and suddenly they were turning me on to those wines.

Suddenly, I understood.”

His taste in wine elevated with the band’s success as he became enamored with many high-end wines like Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello and Burgundy while touring the globe.

“It wasn’t until a French promoter started opening some legendary DRC’s one long, gluttonous night in Paris in 1990, that the pinot noir light bulb went on,” he said.

Casale’s income couldn’t keep up with his exquisite taste in wine, so he decided to give the more affordable California pinot noirs a closer look.

“I had a bottle of 1989 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir with breast of duck. I was off and running and have never stopped,” he said.

Are we not winemakers?

Casale, an architectural enthusiast, got “the uncontrollable urge” to “take timeout for fun” and start making his own wine. In 2008, he partnered with a famous Los Angeles restoration architect to purchase a beautiful 24-acre hillside property on Monticello Road, next door to Kenzo, one of Napa Valley’s elite wineries.

“He asked in return for him being the investor that I call the wine The 50 by 50,” Casale said.

He released his first pinot noir in 2012 from grapes sourced from growers in Carneros, California’s Petaluma Gap. The plan was to re-create an architectural masterpiece, called 50 by 50, designed by 20th century Modernist architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe more than 70 years ago. It would be a 50- by 50-foot glass structure with a 365-degree view of the estate.

“That was going to be a tasting room and an area attraction for anyone interested in architecture,” Casale said of the still-incomplete structure that has been stuck in a holding pattern for several years. Permits, building inspectors and wildfires have prevented Casale from whipping his winery project into shape.

“Right now, we’re in the middle of a two-year impasse,” Casale said, explaining that building inspectors aren’t happy with the pitch of the roof.

California wine country has also been hampered by wildfires.

“There’s been so goddamn many of them,” said Casale, when talking about the 2017 fire that scorched the still-unplanted land, and melted wiring in the unfinished structure.

The concrete, steel and still-crated 1-inch glass panels were miraculously unaffected by the heat of the flames. If that wasn’t enough, the entire 2020 harvest for The 50 by 50 pinot noir was ruined by smoke from last season’s wildfires, which occurred three days before his planned harvest.

“We will have a 2020 rosé of pinot noir,” he added, since those grapes were picked a few days before the fires.

At 73, Casale is in a “race of doom” of sorts to see his project completed. His dream is to plant Bordeaux grape varietals on 7 acres of the property to produce an estate wine called Parliament 50/50. The wine would be similar in fashion to Chateau Calon-Segur, one of his favorite French Bordeaux wines.

t’s the rare person who doesn’t love pickles.

Besides giving hamburgers a crunchy, vinegary finish or a bloody Mary martini its zing, pickles are packed with the good bacteria called probiotics, which makes them terrific for gut health.

You Gretchen McKay might like Gretchen’s table pickles even more if you knew how easy they are to make with just a few simple ingredients you might already have in your pantry.

If you go with the refrigerator version, all you have to do it slice a few cucumbers and boil a mixture of water, vinegar, sugar and spices. Fridge pickles are exactly as billed: a type of fresh pickle that goes right into the refrigerator instead of being preserved in a hot water bath and put up. They can last for up to a month chilled, though the longer they sit, the less crisp they become.

For those of you who simply, ahem, relish pickles, we’re providing 3 recipes for fridge pickles: old-fashioned bread and butter (sweet, with onions), classic dill and quick-pickled peaches, which sound weird but actually taste great on top of pound cake or vanilla ice cream.

All are easy, and just as tangy and flavorful as canned pickles. Be sure to wash the produce thoroughly and sterilize the pickling container before packing the pickles. I use glass Mason jars.

BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES These have a crisp texture and sweet-sour flavor. They pair well with cheese and are awesome on top of a crispy chicken sandwich.

2 pounds pickling cucumbers, sliced thin 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt ½ large sweet onion, thinly sliced 2 cups sugar 2 cups white vinegar 1 cup apple cider vinegar

4 tablespoons sea salt Slice cucumbers lengthwise into quarters, or eighths, depending on how fat the cucumber is and how fat you want your pickles. To make dill pickle chips, thinly slice them horizontally.

Divide sliced cucumbers among 4 8-ounce glass jars.

Divide garlic, mustard seeds, peppercorns among the jars, and add a couple of dill sprigs to each jar.

Bring water, vinegar, sugar and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve, about 1-2 minutes. Let cool slightly and pour over cucumbers. Set jars aside to cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator.

Pickles will get more flavorful the longer they sit in the fridge. They can be stored for several weeks.

Clockwise from top, easy refrigerator dill pickles, pickled peaches and old-fashioned bread and butter pickles. ½ cup light brown sugar 2 to 3 teaspoons mustard seeds 1 teaspoon celery seeds ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric Combine cucumbers, onions and salt in a large, shallow bowl; cover and chill 1-2 hours.

Remove cucumbers to a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Drain well and return vegetables to bowl.

Combine granulated sugar, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds and ground turmeric in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, and cook for 1 minute.

Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the cucumber mixture. Let cool to room

temperature, then ladle into pint jars or other airtight containers and refrigerate 24 hours. Store in an airtight container.

— Gretchen McKay, Post-Gazette EASY REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES This makes a bit more brine than you’ll need for 4 pintsized jars, but I hate it when I come up short. Fresh dill, which you can find in bunches at farmers markets, is essential.

12 pickling cucumbers 4 large garlic cloves, halved 3 teaspoons mustard seeds 3 teaspoons peppercorns 1 bunch dill sprigs 4 cups water 4 cups distilled white vinegar ½ cup cane sugar

QUICK PICKLED PEACHES Pickling fruit brings out its natural sweetness, with a bit of zip. This recipe for pickled peaches makes an excellent topping for a variety of desserts, including vanilla ice cream. “Very different taste, but good with pound cake,” my sister told me after sampling the jar I gifted her.

Be sure to pick peaches that are ripe but still firm or you will end up with mushy fruit. I used Gochugaru, the Korean version of red pepper flakes, for some extra kick.

1 ½ cups cider vinegar 1 ½ cups water 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns ½ teaspoon ground cloves 1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick, broken into small pieces 4 large, slightly firm peeled peaches Combine first 8 ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes, stirring until sugar dissolves.

Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes. Cut each peach into 12 wedges. Add peaches to vinegar mixture and let stand 20 minutes.

Remove peaches with a slotted spoon.

Makes about 2 cups.

Try pineapple pavlovas for your next summer party Tribune Content Agency TAMPA, Fla. — Wandering Whisk Bakeshop owner Jennifer Jacobs is known for her decadent and colorful buttercream cakes, French macarons, cream puffs and cookie sandwiches. But did you know that the selftaught cake designer and pastry pro also makes a mean pavlova?

“Florida summers are hot, so I’m always looking for a light and refreshing dessert to serve when I’m entertaining,” Jacobs said.

Jacobs came up with this recipe while working at her bakery in Pinellas Park, Florida, where she regularly hosts popup events and works on custom orders.

These miniature pineapple curd-filled pavlovas, a meringue-based dessert with a crunchy exterior and soft and airy interior, are flavored with coconut and naturally gluten-free.

“Pavlovas look challenging but are actually quite simple to prepare,” Jacobs said. “They will definitely make a statement on your table.”

Mini Piña Colada Pavlovas Makes approximately one dozen.

4 egg whites, at room temperature (save the

egg yolks for curd) ¾ cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons coconut extract 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon lemon juice In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on high until foamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add the sugar, one spoonful at a time. Continue to beat until the meringue reaches stiff peaks, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Remove the bowl from the mixer. Using a rubber spatula, fold in coconut extract, cornstarch and lemon juice. Take care not to deflate the meringue.

Using an ice cream or cookie scoop, scoop out the meringue into 12 equal dollops onto a baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to create a little nest in the middle. (This will hold the curd in place.)

Bake at 250 degrees for approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the meringues in there for an additional 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

For the pineapple curd: 4 egg yolks ¼ cup pineapple juice ½ cup granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed For topping: Toasted coconut, for garnish Pineapple slices, for garnish Combine egg yolks,

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and registers 160 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 4 to 6 minutes.

Remove from heat and add salt and butter, one piece at a time, stirring until smooth.

Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl.

Cover the curd with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the curd. Refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.

To assemble the pavlovas, top each one with a hearty scoop of curd. Add toasted coconut and a slice of pineapple. Feel free to add fresh berries or any other fruit desired.

Passengers check in and wait by the Spirit Airlines ticket counter in Terminal 4 at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The Miramar-based

airline canceled more than 2,000 flights in early August, drawing scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

To fly or not to fly

Travelers weigh the risk of getting sick – or canceled Tribune Content Agency FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Just as airlines are trying to get back to normal, new fears might keep many travelers off the jetway.

Given the rampant spread of Covid-19 variants and a spate of summer operational problems at many of the nation’s airlines, the answer may range from a flat-out “no,” to “maybe, if the circumstances are right.”

With a little more than a month to go in the summer travel season of 2021, more than a few would-be flyers seem to be hesitating, with some postponing or canceling their plans as a new surge of Covid-cases storms across the country.

In a report this week, Southwest Airlines, which maintains a major South Florida presence at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and Miami International airports, said it is seeing declines in passenger bookings.

AAA, the auto club, said that while it expects “travel volumes to remain high” during the Labor Day holiday, “some travelers are wondering if they should take that last summer trip or continue with their future travel plans.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the club notes, advises that “fully vaccinated people can travel domestically with little risk.”

But for unvaccinated people, it’s best to delay travel plans.

Operational chaos at some airlines has hardly helped as carriers from Spirit Airlines of Miramar to Southwest to American Airlines all experienced cancellations and delays this summer due to staffing shortages, unavailable aircraft and that well-known summertime disrupter: bad weather.

Jay Starkman, founder and chief executive officer of Engage PEO of Fort Lauderdale, a human resources technology firm, drastically altered his family’s vacation plans. They took a trip between the time the Covid vaccines came out and when the variants erupted across the country.

Every year, he said, his family travels internationally for a vacation. He and his wife and two older children are vaccinated. But their 11-yearold is not, so that was the end of the overseas travel plan.

They looked for a U.S. destination where the variant was not flaring “because we needed a vacation.”

In the end, they flew to Massachusetts – privately. “If the trip was scheduled next month, we would not have gone,” he said.

“It’s easy to talk about postponing travel because of airlines’ problems, but in reality, that’s hard to do,” said Henry H. Harteveldt, president and travel industry analyst at Atmosphere Research Group, a San Francisco research and advisory firm for the travel industry.

“If someone has requested time off for vacation, it may not be easy to change that,” he said. “Plus, there may be other factors that complicate this, such as kids returning to school.”

Changing plans have added to the difficulties of airlines, said Nick Ewen, senior editor of The Points Guy, a New York consumer travel advisory service.

As a help to the consumer during the pandemic, American and Delta Air Lines waived their fees for changing flights.

“At the end of the day that does give the consumer the power to say. ‘you know, what?

I don’t feel like taking this trip,’” Ewen said. “That has created another operational challenge. It becomes harder to forecast [passenger] loads and schedules.”

Now, carriers are changing schedules with minimal or no notice to consumers, leaving it up to travelers to constantly check flight schedules.

“Some may not notify (passengers) of dropping a leg.

We’ve seen reports of that,” Ewen said. “You need to be your own advocate.”

Big demand This summer, Americans homebound by the pandemic were more than ready to hit the road, according to a survey by Triplt, the online travel company.

“Travel hit an apex this summer since the pandemic started,” said Jen Moyse, the company’s senior director of product. Starting with Memorial Day weekend, domestic flight bookings in TripIt were up 33% compared to 2019 and rose to 51% compared to 2019 for the Fourth of July holiday.

Moyse said a July survey of the company’s customers showed 82% of the respondents had traveled in the previous three months; 52% of them had taken a domestic flight.

Moyse believes the activity is a possible signal of a “continued desire to take a trip in the coming months. As of July, when we asked respondents when they would be ready to travel, those that were comfortable with a domestic flight increased from 80% in September to 89% in December.

But did the airlines spoil a good thing?

Summer turbulence Industrywide, each carrier spent millions trying to allay the fears of consumers who worried they could contract Covid-19 either at 30,000 feet or while passing through an airport terminal. They installed better onboard air filtration systems and widely deployed disinfectants.

On the ground, airport authorities installed their own preventive measures.

But the pandemic did more than threaten the public health.

It roiled airline finances as traffic plunged by 80% to 90%.

The airlines grounded planes, sidelined workers and all but vacated airports.

After vaccines triggered a business rebound, the carriers started a gradual ascent to recovery – with a major assist from billions in federal aid.

Yet, the trip back toward prepandemic operations has been a bumpy ride as carriers struggled to meet the resurgence in customer demand. The upshot: surges in cancellations and delays.

“Just operationally, it’s a challenge for them right now,” said Ewen, of The Points Guy. “They had this huge surge in demand over the summer. They weren’t able to get their employees and planes back to meet the demand with as much flexibility as they’d like.”

Spirit and American blamed staffing shortages, technology problems and stormy weather.

Some airlines have rebounded better than others.

“We have fortified our staffing by completing all required recall pilot training, bringing back more than 3,000 team members from leaves – with thousands more flight attendants returning from leaves this fall,” American CEO Doug Parker and President Robert Isom said in a late July note to employees.

They said American, which maintains a massive U.S. and international hub in Miami, is hiring nearly 3,500 new employees throughout the operation, as well as 350 pilots this year, and more than 1,000 pilots and 800 flight attendants next year.

Spirit is still reeling from a 2-week-long customer service disaster fueled by 2,000 flight cancellations. Its CEO, Ted Christie, publicly apologized and vowed to fix the problems.

Spirit under federal scrutiny But while flight cancellations and delays have abated, the company is now being monitored by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

“The Department is committed to protecting the rights of air travelers and is in contact with Spirit regarding its recent widespread flight cancellations and delays,” the agency said in an emailed statement to the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

“The Department has reminded Spirit of its legal obligations, including its obligation to provide prompt refunds when it cancels or significantly changes a flight and the passenger chooses not to accept the alternative offered,” the statement said. “Spirit is also required to have and adhere to a customer service plan that identifies the services that the carrier provides to mitigate passenger inconveniences resulting from flight cancellations and misconnections.”

It also said it directed Spirit to “publish a clear statement” on its website about whether the airline will provide hotel accommodations, arrange for ground transportation, provide meal vouchers and sleeping facilities and arrange for air transportation on another carrier.

As of late last week, a link to the statement appeared at the top of the website.

Less affected by the summertime turmoil is Delta. The airline did not lay off employees during the pandemic. For the third year in a row, the airline was named No. 1 in customer service in a survey by The Points Guy, which rated the nation’s top 10 major airlines in reliability, experience, loyalty, and costs and reach.

Ironically, Spirit, which came in at No. 8 overall, scored highest in the reliability category – before it was overwhelmed by its cancellation troubles.

“Though it’s been getting better, Spirit’s operation is still far from reliable,” said Harteveldt of Atmosphere Research.

“I would expect that within two to three weeks, Spirit should be back to a close-to-normal level of operational reliability,” he said. “People who have flexibility and are booked on Spirit flights during the next three weeks may want to postpone their trips. However, if the airfare is more expensive, it’s possible the airline may charge the fare difference.”

The Covid-19 factor While several of the airlines straighten out their operations, Covid-19 should remain a top-ofmind task for any travelers who insist they need to leave town.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel asked three medical experts from three of the region’s medical schools for advice on

what leisure and business travelers should consider so long as the variant remains prevalent.

Among their key points: n Make a checklist “Every traveler should be doing a checklist prior to getting that ticket or even getting in the car,” said Dr. Eneida O. Roldan, chief executive officer of the FIU Health Care Network.

“The first line would be, ‘Am I vaccinated or not? What is my age group?” Roldan asked.

“Even if you are vaccinated you have to look at your medical condition. I’ve seen even with a vaccination you may not have built up the immunity as much as another individual who does not have an underlying disease.”

For anyone considering travel, it’s important to think about your own health risk, and what you can do to lower your chances of becoming infected or spreading Covid-19, said Dr. Joanna L. Drowos at the Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University.

The CDC recommends delaying travel until you are fully vaccinated, because travel increases your chance of getting and spreading Covid-19, she added. There are specific recommendations for unvaccinated individuals, which include testing pre- and post- travel, masking and quarantining after you return. n Scope out your destination “You are responsible for understanding and following all airline and destination requirements related to travel, mask wearing, testing, or quarantine, which may differ from U.S. requirements,” Drowos said.

“Failure to do so may mean that you are denied entry to your destination and need to return home.” n Ask yourself: is this trip necessary?

“The two key protection strategies are vaccinations and masking,” said Dr. Johannes Vieweg, dean of the College of Allopathic Medicine at Nova Southeastern University.

“That’s all that we can do. As a vaccinated person you are pretty well protected in the face of the delta variant.”

But he warned, “You just have to be aware of the risk going into.”

“There is some fatigue setting in among all of us,” Vieweg said. “We all want to go on with our lives. Nothing in our current situation is black and white. You have to personally look at your own risk. Am I little bit older? Do I have cancer? Is the travel necessary? Is it really worth the risk?”

David Duchovny is honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, Jan. 25, 2016.

David Duchovny recalls Scientology recruiting effort, slams its tax-exempt status Tribune Content Agency It’s not surprising that the Church of Scientology once tried to recruit David Duchovny into its ranks, but the actor says in a new interview that the controversial organization’s efforts “didn’t go well.”

Duchovny’s interview with the Daily Beast comes as he’s back in the limelight for his cameo role in “The Chair,” the Netflix dark-comedy series about academia. The 61-yearold actor plays a version of his once-aspiring English doctorate self, but it was his re-creation of a famous “The X-Files” scene that set Twitter abuzz. Duchovny is introduced into the Netflix series when he, like his FBI agent character, Fox Mulder, had done, climbed out of a swimming pool wearing a small red Speedo.

It was during the height of Duchovny’s “X-Files” fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s that he said he had his strange encounters with Scientology.

The church is well known for wanting celebrities such as Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Elisabeth Moss to be its public faces, but there’s probably symmetry in the fact Duchovny’s “X-Files” had its own cult-like following and otherworldly mythology – not unlike Scientology, as critics say.

Scientology, moreover, had a friendly connection to Duchovny, as the actor recounts in the new interview with writer Marlow Stern. Duchovny’s close childhood friend, “Chicago P.D.” actor Jason Beghe, was an avid member of the church.

As Duchovny explained to the Daily Beast, he checked out Scientology when he attended Beghe’s wedding at Scientology’s Celebrity Centre in Los Angeles in 2000. He said he

Daily Cryptoquotes

tried one of Scientology’s famed auditing sessions.

“I did squeeze the cans and I did a session on the E-meter, and I realized immediately, because they’re asking very personal questions, that they were gathering information that I didn’t want to give out to a stranger,” Duchovny said.

“So, the session didn’t go well.

I didn’t play by the rules, and I never went back.”

Even before the session, Duchovny had concerns about Scientology, mostly because he saw how Beghe’s involvement in the organization had changed him.

“Jason and I drifted apart during that time, because Scientology hangs with their own when they’re doing it,” Duchovny said. “We’d see each other from time to time, and I noticed that his vocabulary was different. The way he described the world and his experiences, particularly his psychological experiences, was cult-ish and had changed completely. Either I didn’t have the balls to slap him and snap him out of it, or he said it was working for him, or . . . maybe I failed him as a friend during those years?”

Beghe left Scientology in 2007 and became an outspoken critic. Among other things, Beghe described in a 2008 video that his friendship with Duchovny was adversely affected by his involvement in the church. He said Duchovny was labeled an “SP,” or suppressive person, a term the church uses to describe someone it perceives as an adversary.

After he left the church, Beghe said he immediately renewed his friendship with Duchovny. During a visit to Duchovny’s house, he said he told him about Scientology’s

belief in a galactic overlord named Xenu. “I couldn’t get a third of the way through the story, and we had our faces on the floor,” Beghe said. “We were laughing so hard.”

With the Daily Beast, Duchovny was careful to say that Beghe, “to his credit,” never tried to actively recruit him.

“He only ‘recruited’ me in the sense of saying, ‘This is great, and I think you should try it,’ not anything harder than that,” Duchovny said.

Duchovny also responded to a concern expressed by Beghe and other former members who say the church expects members to spend thousands of dollars or more on auditing and on other church education programs.

Beghe called it “a con” and said he had probably sunk about $1 million into the church during his 13 years he was a member.

Duchovny agreed with writer Stern that he “dodged a pretty big psychological and financial bullet” by staying away from Scientology. He also agreed that “they drain people dry.”

“They really do,” Duchovny said. “And that’s another thing – the tax code. I don’t really understand it. It’s a ‘religion,’ but who figured that out?”

Duchovny is referring to the controversy over Scientology having tax-exempt status.

“There are other religions that are tax-exempt that have a lot of wealthy people in them as well, so it’s really a question of taxes and religions, but it’s also a question of: How do you define yourself as a religion?”

Duchovny said. “Why can’t I be my own religion of one and stop paying taxes? I think that’s what Jeff Bezos is up to!”

MACPHERSON, AN UNMARRIED MAN WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN

BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE; OUTSIDE OF SANTA CLARA STREET ENTRANCE TO THE CITY HALL 555 SANTA CLARA STREET, VALLEJO, CA 94590 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2671 BURRELL DRIVE, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $45,595.79 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 096149-CA. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 096149-CA 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.

Giants: Long roughed up in late innings From Page B1 batters in the fourth reached base, and Jorge Soler and Austin Riley blasted home runs. After Joc Pederson and Dansby Swanson legged out infield singles, DeSclafani was pulled trailing 3-0.

Next for the righthander: the Dodgers, who have scored 22 runs in 21 innings off him this year.

“We’re so close,” DeSclafani said of the top two teams in the NL West.

“We’re neck and neck with the Dodgers. Every game is super important.

“For me getting back

out there. I’m just trying to build momentum and get on a roll again. Hopefully I can do that against the Dodgers. If not, there’s a lot of the season left.”

Sammy Long replaced DeSclafani and did a nice job getting out of the inning but gave up two runs in each of the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. Eventually, the lefty’s main job was to eat innings to preserve the bullpen for the Milwaukee series, and he accomplished that.

The game got so out of hand that outfielder Austin Slater was summoned to get the

final out in the eighth.

After walking former Giant Ehire Adrianza, Slater induced Freddie Freeman to fly out.

Long had been a candidate to start Sunday as DeSclafani tested the ankle in recent days. By starting Long, DeSclafani could have been pushed back to pitch against the Brewers and avoid facing the Dodgers.

Such a move would have enabled the Giants to push Logan Webb, their best starter, back a day to face the Dodgers.

Webb got the only win in Atlanta with seven scoreless innings Saturday.

The decision-making regarding the rotation remains fluid. For now, the Giants plan to stay on turn, meaning Johnny Cueto, Alex Wood, Kevin Gausman and Webb would face Milwaukee.

“In theory, you may start to think about the Dodger series, but you’ve got (Corbin) Burnes and (Brandon) Woodruff and a really, really tough Milwaukee team,” said Giants manager Gabe Kapler, noting the Brewers’ scheduled starters for Monday and Tuesday. “It might just make sense to keep our guys on a (fiveday) rhythm.”

49ers: QBs have also rotated in practice From Page B1 And the threat that Lance could run Sunday helped create running lanes: His first eight handoffs netted 53 rushing yards.

Running back Raheem Mostert had five runs for 32 yards on Lance’s five snaps on the opening drive.

“They were definitely eyeing Trey,” Mostert said. “And that just opened

the game for me and other running backs . . . Kyle is doing a great job with both of them. I’m just excited to see how this thing plays out this season.”

Lance’s TD run fooled the Raiders with misdirection: He faked a zone-read to running back Trey Sermon, as wide receiver Jalen Hurd, lined up in the slot, went in motion to the left. With
