FAIRFIELD — Darlene Phillips chuckled Sunday as she shared the story of purchasing a wig, then sitting on the back floor in the car to put it on, so no one would see. Phillips has launched a local support group for people with alopecia, an autoimmune disease where the body attacks its own hair follicles. September is National Alopecia Awareness Month. Phillips wants people to know there is support and healing in Solano County. Along with friends who have alopecia, Phillips has launched Bald Life United 2 Empower. She has designed T-shirts featuring a bald silhouette and

matching masks. She tried a variety of hair products and styles when she notice her hair was thinning. Phillips was also contemplating a $15,000 investment for a hair plant. She decided against it. “I decided it wasn’t time for me to put hair back on my head,” she said. She chose to view her hair loss as a way to share her story and hopefully encourage and empower others with alopecia. “We are committed to bringing awareness and support to those who may be in a challenging stage, but would love to move forward to a happy place and live a purposeful life,” Phillips shared in an email to the Daily Republic.

Phillips has shared her story with Bald Life Magazine, which just released its fourth issue with Rep. Ayanna Pressley on the cover. Pressley went public with her story at the beginning of 2020. Charlotte Robinson, a paraeducator at Crescent Elementary School, noticed her hair was thinning about six years ago. She, too, covered it up with wigs until a woman at church offered to cut her hair. “I felt a little uncomfortable at first,” she said. As time went on, she began to get compliments. She was in a store Saturday when the clerk, Robinson estimated to be in his 20s, said, “Look See Bald, Page A7

Haitian migrants continue to flock to Texas border, some flown back Los Angeles Times DEL RIO, Texas — A week after Haitian migrant Junior Desterville, 30, and his family had made it all the way from Chile to the burgeoning migrant camp here on the U.S. banks of the Rio Grande, the darkhaired mechanic set back out to the Mexican side early Sunday to buy food for his hungry wife and 4-year old daughter, Nayalla. By noon, Desterville, garbed in a blue T-shirt and black shorts, had waded back north

through the chest-high water to return successfully from Ciudad Acuña as Mexican police and Texas state troopers sought to block ongoing river crossings by hundreds of incoming migrants. Making his way past a crowd of hundreds and up dirt trails along the riverbank that reeked of human waste, he found his wife, Stephanie, in one of the scores of huts that migrants have built from the carrizo cane lining the waters. They have slept in the dirt inside the hut since

making their way to this hot, chaotic camp of more than 10,000 migrants after a three-month slog, mainly by bus, through Chile, Central America and Mexico. Desterville said he can’t imagine returning to Haiti. “We don’t have a president or security,” he said. “Let’s get out of here,” said Stephanie, 24. “We’re hungry.” For many, however, crossing the Rio Grande appears likely to mean a one-way air ticket back to troubled Haiti. On Sunday, the Biden

administration began making good on its promise to send Haitian migrants in Del Rio back to their homeland, The Associated Press reported. The U.S. sent back three flights of migrants taken from the camp, and the number of flights is expected to reach at least six a day shortly, according to a U.S. government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not allowed to discuss the issue publicly.

LOS ANGELES — Critical fire weather conditions are expected to persist through Sunday evening in Sequoia National Park, where hundreds of additional firefighters are now fighting a lightningsparked wildfire that has reached the Giant Forest, home to many of the planet’s tallest and longest-living trees.

Biden’s vaccine booster, export plans collide Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will set a new course for global vaccine allocation this week, hosting a summit on the shortage of shots in poorer countries even as the U.S. moves to give booster doses to millions of fully inoculated Americans. The U.S. plan for boosters will steer tens of millions of doses into the arms of many U.S. adults starting as soon as Friday. That has angered nations where many people are still struggling to obtain a first shot.

As world leaders gather for the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week, Biden aims to counter their criticism by hosting a virtual summit on Wednesday where he’ll propose a target of fully vaccinating 70% of the world by September 2022. The U.S. has exported more doses of vaccines than any other country, and Biden’s team wants other wealthy nations to increase their donations to offset any strain on supply from the U.S. booster program.

But back in those days Now, I had seen that building I really got into the culture and being remodeled for months and I remember when local head then found out what it was, but shop Aquarius went out of was stumped when I saw the business. My stoner friends and name. STIIIZY? What the . . .? I bought flavored rolling papers, How do you pronounce that?

Like dizzy? If so, why did they not trust the one “I” in dizzy to be able to do the same amount of work in the company name? Before I searched for the name on Google, I was tempted to just stop right there on Railroad (when no cars were behind me) and shout at one of the security guards to enlighten me on the pronunciation. Just say “hi”: Years ago I worked with a woman who if you asked her how she was doing just as an aside, she would tell you. And tell you. And tell you. And tell you some more. It’s not like she was talking about dramatic stuff or problems she was having. It was more like someone running down the mundane details of life that we all experience, but rarely expound on for several minutes at a time. I did not need to know her feelings about what particular toothpaste or toilet paper she used and why she preferred them to others or how when eating oatmeal she used a tablespoon and only a certain one but used a teaspoon for cereal. I mean, as a guy, I communicate best in bullet points. She was all about multiple paragraphs with barely a break in between for some punctuation. She was a nice person and I liked her, but she was also a ticking talk bomb and the fuse

was lit by a simple query. So after a while I got wise and instead of asking her how she was doing, I would smile and say “Hi!” and just keep on steppin’. I need help from friends in high places to get me to high places: So, while I do know some of the movers and shakers in Solano County – kinda – I need them to come through for me on this request. I want to get high in Fairfield. Not stoned – I told you I haven’t done that since before Grunge became a thing – I want to physically, actually, get high. I want to climb to the top of the old water tower across from Armijo High. I want to go to the roof of the old County Courthouse. I want to go to the roof of the old Armijo Building on Union Avenue, now the Solano County Hall of Justice. I want to go to the roof of the Solano County Government Center. I want to have a swing attached to the downtown Fairfield sign and swing in it while traffic rolls on underneath me. OK, scratch that last one, but what about it local folk in high places, can you help me out? City Council? Board of Supervisors? Star Fleet Command? High’s Ice Cream: I know that memories are enhanced sometimes and what people remember as “the best ______ ever” is often because it has

been sweetened by the wonderful nectar of nostalgia. That’s why I was sure that my own memories of stopping and getting ice cream at High’s Ice Cream in Norfolk, Virginia, fell into that category. While surely there is some of that because it is the first place I can remember going to to get the sweet treat and could barely see into the freezers, there was some truth to it. It turns out that David Norton, vice president of production at the High’s Ice Cream production plant, created about 90% of their flavors and won 25 national dairy awards during a 37-year career. They included Charlie Brown, a chocolate ice cream with veins of peanut butter; bubble gum; chocolate nut fudge; and banana split, made with bananas, cherries, pineapple and English walnuts. I can still cherish memories of going to High’s Ice Cream with my family and not miss eating ice cream. I quit consuming processed sugar more than two years ago and dairy more than 18 months ago. Don’t feel bad for me. My cholesterol is no longer . . . wait for it . . . high.

Officials prepare to open new scenic trail along Lake Berryessa Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

WINTERS — The new North End Trail at Lake Berryessa is opening Saturday. “This trail represents a shared vision and years of collaboration between (the U.S. Bureau of) Reclamation and Tuleyome, a state nonprofit conservation organization working to provide access to public lands since 2002. With a formal partnership in 2013, Tuleyome secured grant monies through . . . California to fund trail construction,” the bureau, Tuleyome and the Napa County Regional Park and Open Space District announced Friday. The scenic trail is 7.5 miles and winds along the northwest shore of the lake. It is open to hikers and cyclists, and is rated as an easy path. The trail provides views across the lake to the Blue Ridge mountains, 15 miles away.

VALLEJO — A pair of freeCovid-19vaccineclinics are scheduled this week. Walk-ins are welcome. No appointment is needed. Minors will need a parent or legal guardian present. Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, experience mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death. The delta variant of the virus, which is currently dominant in the U.S., is highly transmissible with indications that asymptomatic individuals can spread the virus to others. Federal health officials recently announced that unvaccinated people who contract the delta variant are 11 times more likely to die than are their vaccinated counterparts. However, the vast majority of people who contract the disease recover. For more information about the vaccine clinic, visit https://www. solanocounty.com/depts/ ph/coronavirus_links/ covid_19_vaccines.asp. The clinics will occur: n 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Hogan Middle School (12+ Pfizer-BioNTech, 18+ Johnson & Joh nson /Ja nssen), Rosewood Ave., 850 Vallejo (inside the gym).

This has really affected me greatly, and I don’t know if I should even go ahead with the marriage anymore. Kindly advise; am I being unrealistic and selfish? — Confused Dear Confused: No, I don’t think you are being unrealistic or selfish at all. I think you are confused and hurt. And for good reason. A complete change in attitude in any relationship is a red flag that something is not right. The best way to figure out what is going on is to tell her how you feel and ask her why her behavior toward you has shifted so dramatically.

Trust that it’s a better position to be in than the more comfortable obliviousness so many of your peers enjoy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take your time making a choice. Choosing wisely is the most time-efficient action. With the right decision, you can hit the ground running. There’s nothing to work out, and the maintenance fits your lifestyle. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You have a gift for working through conflict, and the initiative to step up to challenge. You’ll apply these

In a way, each mistake is evidence of the vitality of your connection. The question is: How many is too many? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18).

The North-South hands contain no voids, only one singleton and just 19 combined points, but the declarer brought home his five-diamond contract. Cover the East-West cards. West took two top spades and shifted to a heart. Declarer drew trumps in three rounds, West having a singleton. How should South have continued? Three diamonds was a brave bid, but the secondary club support strengthened the hand. Five spades doubled costs 500 if North gets a heart ruff. To make his contract, declarer had to play the club suit for no losers. There were two chances: West had a singleton king or East a singleton jack. In the former case, South needed to cash dummy’s club ace, then finesse East out of his jack. In the latter, declarer had to lead the queen from hand, pinning East’s jack and finessing West out of his king. Which was more likely? Given that West had a singleton diamond, it was unlikely he had a singleton club as well. Therefore, South played for East to hold the singleton club jack. After drawing trumps, he led the club queen from his hand. When the jack appeared from East, South claimed his contract. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

‘The Bodyguard’ remake in motion Tribune Content Agency “The Bodyguard” will get another chance at taking control of moviegoers’ hearts. “reimagining” A of the 1992 romantic drama starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner is currently underway from Warner Bros. Tony Award nominee Matthew López has been tapped to script the film, which will be “inspired” by the original, according to Variety. The acclaimed playwright is the creative force behind the epic 2019 Broadway play “The Inheritance” – a contemporary exploration of gay history loosely inspired by E.M. Forster’s classic novel “Howard’s End.” “The Bodyguard” grossed more than $400 worldwide and its

soundtrack, featuring “I Will Always Love You,” is considered the bestselling movie soundtrack of all time – amassing more than 45 million copies worldwide. The reboot is being produced by, among others, Lawrence Kasdan, who co-wrote and produced the original film. The 72-year-old filmmaker previously wrote and directed “Body Heat,” “The Big Chill” and “The Accidental Tourist.” The project reportedly has been in the works since 2011, and the actors whose names have been floated to star in it include Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, and Channing Tatum and Cardi B. Fans of Lizzo and Chris Evans have even expressed their wishes on social media.

Will Newsom release Bobby Kennedy’s killer?

ov. Gavin Newsom is not likely to ever free Robert F. Kennedy’s killer from prison – nor should he. That’s just a guess based on Newsom’s stated admiration for Kennedy and the fact that he’s no political dummy. He also apparently understands that assassin Sirhan Sirhan unforgivably changed American history for the worse, committing a crime against the nation. If Newsom could announce now that he would never allow Sirhan to be paroled, he’d probably leap at the chance. “I can’t imagine voters feeling sympathy for Sirhan Sirhan,” says George Skelton veteran Democratic strategist Rose Kapolczynski. “There is a movement for criminal justice reform that has great support. But are those people going to be upset if Newsom denies parole to the assassin of one of the nation’s top leaders? I don’t think they’d punish him.” Conversely, I suspect most voters would reward him for keeping Sirhan locked up – and punish him if he didn’t. But Newsom believes he can’t publicly discuss the case without jeopardizing the validity of a future decision he might make. “The death of Robert Kennedy undeniably changed the course of American history,” Newsom spokeswoman Erin Mellon emailed me. But, she added, “the parole decision is still under review by the Parole Board. The governor is unable to comment on this case until it is before him without compromising the legal validity of his decision.” A two-person panel of the state parole board deemed Sirhan, 77, suitable for release after he’d been imprisoned for 53 years and his requests for freedom turned down 15 times. That decision will be reviewed by the parole board staff and perhaps the full board itself. They have 90 days. If Sirhan’s release still has the green light after that, the governor could block it. Newsom was asked about it at a news conference prior to the recall election. His answer seems best read between the lines. “They haven’t formalized the approval so I have been cautious and [will] allow for the process,” he replied. “Then it comes to me for deliberation. That won’t happen for some time. So, I won’t opine on it except to say this: “Anybody that has ever walked into my office, you have to walk by photographs of Bobby Kennedy’s funeral procession – those famous train photos. The first photograph – the only photograph – you will see in my office is a photo of my father and Bobby Kennedy just days before Bobby Kennedy was murdered.” To emphasize his point, Newsom added: “So, I hope that gives you a sense of my sentiments as it relates to Bobby Kennedy – in particular my reverence, my respect and my adulation for his family and his memory.” What I read between the lines is: “Parole for Sirhan? Not on my watch.” Of course, just because RFK is a hero to Newsom and

Sirhan spoiled history doesn’t necessarily mean the governor wouldn’t feel compelled to release him. Under California law, to be released on parole, a prison lifer must be considered no longer a danger to the public. Asked at his hearing whether he’d ever kill again, Sirhan replied: “I would never put myself in jeopardy again.” That wasn’t exactly a statement of remorse. But Sirhan at another point said: “Senator Kennedy was the hope of the world . . . and it pains me . . . the knowledge for such a horrible deed – if I did, in fact, do that.” Neither was that exactly taking full responsibility for the evil act, although Sirhan added: “I’m still responsible for being there and probably causing this whole incident through my own gun or other guns.” Sirhan, who is Palestinian, now claims not to remember the murder. But he confessed immediately afterward and has many times since, saying he objected to Kennedy’s support of Israel. There was a kitchen pantry room full of people at the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard who witnessed the killing. California law also says the parole board and governor can consider the crime in judging whether a lifer is unsuitable for release. When Sirhan mortally shot Kennedy minutes after his victory speech in the pivotal 1968 California presidential primary, he killed the dreams of millions of Americans who were demanding an end to the reckless, wasteful Vietnam War that repulsed the Democratic candidate. There’s a high probability – actually, no doubt in my mind – that Kennedy’s California triumph would have propelled him to the Democratic presidential nomination at the party’s national convention in Chicago. Democrats would have united behind RFK, five years after the assassination of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. And as JFK had done in 1960, RFK would have beaten Republican Richard Nixon in November. Instead, the Democratic Party collapsed into rioting at the convention, which nominated the war-backing Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. The party fractured and Nixon narrowly won. As the war dragged on under Nixon, roughly 21,000 more Americans were killed in Vietnam. And Nixon’s psychotic Watergate scandal made citizens even more cynical and distrustful of the American government. Sirhan’s murder of Kennedy traumatized a country already shaken by assassinations and splintered by antiwar and civil rights protests. I agree with Harvard University Law professor Laurence H. Tribe, who wrote in a Los Angeles Times opinion piece: “Vitriolic as our political disagreements can be, we are a nation bound by the rule of law, not the rule of a revolver. “By resorting to the latter, Sirhan forfeited his right ever again to breathe the air of freedom.” Sirhan should die in prison. Newsom most likely agrees. Political columnist George Skelton has covered government and politics for nearly 60 years and for the Los Angeles Times.

Secretaries of defense agree: We must memorialize fallen in war on terrorism By Robert M. Gates, Leon E. Panetta, Chuck Hagel, Ash Carter, Jim Mattis, Mark T. Esper Special to The Washington Post

t the end of World War II, Winston Churchill suggested the arch leading into the bomb-stricken House of Commons be rebuilt with stone scarred by the war. He hoped it would be a reminder to future generations of the fortitude and sacrifice of those who fought and the families who stood behind them. As the global war on terrorism reaches its 20th year, the United States needs a place to honor its sacred war dead. Calls to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Veterans Crisis Line have surged since the U.S. left Kabul. Veteran service organizations have responded with concern, putting out letters, op-eds and videos reminding veterans that their service made a difference. Yet there is no national memorial to the global war on terrorism. No eternal reminder of the brave women and men who gave their lives for their country. No place to collectively honor the troops, veterans, families and friends who remain. We cannot wait 50 years to break ground on a memorial for this war. Legislation to secure a prominent location on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for a National Global War on Ter-

rorism Memorial is stalled in Congress, though there is some reason for optimism. The For Country Caucus, a bipartisan group of veterans in the House of Representatives, has called on President Joe Biden to support House Resolution 1115, the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Location Act, the final hurdle to authorize construction of the memorial. In addition, many outside groups, including the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation, Gold Star families and veteran-led groups such as With Honor Action, have been working for years for a National Global War on Terrorism Memorial on the National Mall. The legislation before the House has widespread bipartisan support, with more than 100 co-sponsors. Congress should listen to those voices and pass it into law this year, and Biden should put his public support behind a National Global War on Terrorism Memorial. Like the other wars memorialized on the National Mall – World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War – the global war on terrorism is the war of a generation. Born from the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, the war on terrorism represents America’s longest war, touching young women and men who were not yet born on that harrowing day. We lost more than 7,000 troops during mili-

tary operations in the past two decades. Each left behind family, friends and fellow service members who deserve a place to remember them. And each of these service members should be held up as a reminder for generations to come of the bravery and sacrifice this war required. Their memories should be enshrined next to the memorials for other brave women and men who gave their lives defending this nation since its founding, because their sacrifices are just as significant. The National World War II Memorial was completed almost 60 years after the conflict ended. A 20-year-old World War II veteran returning home would have visited the memorial at 80 years old. Most never made it there. We must give friends, families and veterans a place to gather, throughout their lifetimes, with the spirits and memories of all those they lost. In these days after the exit of the last American service member from Afghanistan and in the immediate aftermath of the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, the president and the Congress have an opportunity and an obligation to get this done. Robert M. Gates, Leon E. Panetta, Chuck Hagel, Ash Carter, Jim Mattis and Mark T. Esper are the six surviving secretaries of defense who led the Defense Department during the past 20 years of the global war on terrorism.

Harris has said, “The right of women to make decisions about their body is not negotiable.” This is in direct contradiction to supporting Biden’s mandate that workers receive Covid-19 vaccinations. That is government control of people’s bodies. According to a recent poll, 55% of likely voters say that Vice President Harris is not qualified or not at all qualified to assume the duties of the presidency. Her performance as vice president is dismal. Her one major responsibility as vice president was to manage the border crisis of hordes of immigrants entering our country illegally, and she failed that miserably; she was prodded repeatedly to even go to the border with Mexico and laughed in her typical inappropriate manner when she was asked why she didn’t go there. She then lied, saying she had gone there. When ultimately pressured to visit the border, she, for a photo op, selected El Paso, the site of minimum immigration traffic. Visiting the Rio Grande Valley would have visualized the real border problem for Harris. Her failed presidential campaign hardly garnered any support. She was just not likable.

Summit From Page One administration is negotiating with Pfizer Inc. to buy an additional 500 million vaccines to donate globally, which would double the U.S. commitment to helping less-wealthy countries. But the U.S. government’s booster policy could instead put political pressure on other countries to follow suit with their own plans for extra doses, further exacerbating global inequities. “It’s like you and I have a life jacket, and they are throwing us one or two more when more than half the planet doesn’t have one,” said Tom Hart, acting chief executive of the ONE campaign, which advocates for vaccine exports to lowincome nations. “Not only is that morally outrageous, it doesn’t make any sense epidemiologically,” he said. “The best way to protect Americans is to extinguish this fire elsewhere as quickly as possible.” Biden’s team, speaking on a private briefing call last week, said Wednesday’s summit isn’t meant to be a one-day event, but instead the start of a months-long process to set clear international vacci-

Border From Page One San Antonio, the AP reported, and arrived Sunday afternoon in the Haitian capital, Port-auPrince, each carrying 145 passengers. Families on the first flight held children by the hand or carried them as they exited. Dozens lined up for a meal of rice, beans, chicken and plantains while pondering where they would find housing or jobs. Each was given $100 and tested for Covid-19, though there was no plan to place any in quarantine, said Marie-Lourde JeanCharles with the Office of National Migration. In Del Rio, a large number of buses to transport additional migrants arrived on Sunday for transfer to the flights, or to place them in holding facilities run by the Border Patrol. Some 3,300 migrants have already been removed from the Del Rio camp to planes or detention centers, Border Patrol Chief Raul L. Ortiz said at a news conference Sunday, and he expected to have 3,000 of approximately 12,600 additional

ferent,” she said. When a young boy wanted to know why she didn’t have hair, Robinson was able to explain, “It’s not my hair that makes me. It’s how I am inside.” Her suggestion: “When you get a haircut, think of me.” Spaulding retired from the Air Force earlier this year. She decided to cut of all of her hair about three years ago. “I’m going to rock my crown the way it is,” Spaulding told the DR in April. The three women gathered Sunday to share their stories and to enjoy brunch. After, they sat nation targets and paths to achieve them, people familiar with the call said. The Pfizer deal is expected to be announced ahead of the meeting. In a hearing Friday, U.S. Food and Drug Administration scientists acknowledged the political pressure building around the booster plan. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, began the hearing by asking the panel to focus on the science of booster shots without veering into “issues related to global vaccine equity.” The panel voted to recommend boosters of the Pfizer Inc.-BioNTech SE vaccine for people 65 years old and older, as well as those with conditions that would put them at higher risk of severe Covid-19. The panel voted 16-2 against recommending boosters for all U.S. adults, as Pfizer had requested. The FDA will still need to grant final clearance. And an outside advisory panel to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will also make detailed recommendations for the use of booster shots at a meeting next week. The U.S. consumed the first hundreds of millions of doses made on its soil before pivoting sharply to exports once domestic demand slowed. So

far, the U.S. has donated and shipped more than 140 million doses abroad. But the world needs billions of doses to curb the pandemic – a tough goal to meet with donations alone. Many advocates for greater global vaccine equity say Biden should relax legal protections for vaccine formulas and forge deals between manufacturers and facilities in other countries.

migrants moved within a day. The rest should be gone within the week, he said. “We are working around the clock to expeditiously move migrants out of the heat, elements and from underneath this bridge to our processing facilities in order to quickly process and remove individuals from the United States consistent with our laws and our policies,” Ortiz said. Meanwhile, more Haitian migrants appeared to be arriving at the border, undeterred by the U.S. plan. The influx at the border outpost 145 miles west of San Antonio has come since the U.S. temporarily halted expulsions to Haiti last month following a 7.2 magnitude earthquake, which struck a month after Haiti’s president was assassinated. Nearly 28,000 Haitians have been intercepted by the Border Patrol for the fiscal year that ends this month, compared with 4,395 last fiscal year and 2,046 the year before. More were in camps in southern Mexico. Del Rio Mayor Bruno “Ralphy” Lozano, a Democrat, declared a local state of emergency on Friday and announced authorities were closing

the port of entry. He warned that with more migrants on the way, the camp was expected to reach 20,000 – which, in a city of 35,000, has already prompted an anti-immigrant protest. Haitian migrants have not pushed north into town, instead moving back and forth across the river to buy food and other supplies in Ciudad Acuna. Late Saturday, U.S. officials attempted to cut off access to Mexico, confining migrants to the camp. But migrant camp inhabitants and new arrivals continued to wade north across the shallows, the newest ones turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents and receiving blue numbered tickets they hoped would allow them to claim asylum. Desterville, whose number was 11,240, said that the Border Patrol separated migrants when they arrived, removing single people and leaving families to wait at the river. Several of the camp dwellers were pregnant women, including at least one who gave birth near the banks of the Rio Grande, was taken to the hospital and then returned to the camp.

And U.N. SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres warned against a U.S. plan for booster shots that would mean fewer vaccinations abroad. “If to have booster shots in one country means that others will not have shots, of course this is not the best way to deal with the disease,” he said in an interview. Biden will meet with Guterres on Monday

request the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which only requires one shot. “We’re feeling proud of all the work that the U.S. government has done to fulfill the president’s commitment to share vaccines with the world, and we’re looking forward to doing more,” Natalie Quillian, a senior White House official involved in the Covid-19 response, said in an interview last month. But U.S. officials acknowledge that more needs to be done. The vaccine industry was built to produce between 4.5 billion and 5 billion doses per year, and now needs much greater capacity, one U.S. official said. “The U.S. has at least moved 140 million doses of vaccine so far,” said Krishna Udayakumar, founding Director of the Duke Global Health Innovation Center. “That’s still nowhere near the size and scope needed, but puts other countries to shame.” Surgeon General Vivek Murthy refuted criticism that the U.S.’s booster program ran counter to helping vaccinate the rest of the world. “The notion that somehow us providing adequate protection for the American people is not right, I don’t accept that premise,” Murthy said. “We have to do both. We can’t choose between one and the other.”

National Guard troops, who slowly approached and carried her away. Zareal German, 45, who has spent four days at the camp with his wife, who is five months pregnant, said he and other migrants have been denied medical help. Only emergencies were taken to the hospital, he said. “You see, they don’t care about us,” German said. “Look how we’re living like animals.” He said he had heard about the deportation flights, but they would not deter him, he said. “It doesn’t change my mind. I’ve got one thing on my mind: to get to my destination,” he said. He has family in South Florida, he said, where his father recently died, and he came hoping to arrive in time for the funeral Sept. 25. “To get here, we had to cross 10 countries. We had to spend a lot of money. You become broke,” said Alex Bravener, 25, who lived in Chile and Brazil before arriving here with his wife and 3-year-old daughter last week. “We know that we come here illegally, but we are human too, like the president. We have children,” he said. “If you’re going to deport us, why did you let us in here? If

we’re already here, try to do something for us. The world knows we lost our president. We had our earthquakes. “You deport us, what will we do in Haití? Some of us have been in another country for years. We don’t even know our family there. How are we going to live? We know America can help us to save our children.” Haitians have been exempted at times from the pandemic policy known as Title 42 that the Biden administration has used to expel migrants back to Mexico without allowing them to claim asylum. Many of the Haitian migrants had gathered in Mexican border cities southeast of Del Rio in recent months after hearing that families with children were not being expelled to Mexico. Homeland Security announced Saturday that it was accelerating the expulsion flights, although it was not clear how many daily flights Haitian authorities had agreed to receive. Federal officials were also trying to return some Haitians to countries they had passed through on their way to Mexico, such as Brazil and Chile. Republicans have complained of a crisis on the

border for months. In August, the Border Patrol stopped migrants nearly 209,000 times, close to a 20-year high. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has made Del Rio the focus of a campaign to secure the border more tightly, sending scores of state troopers and National Guard troops who have packed local hotels and even pitched a tent camp at the fairgrounds. This weekend, Abbott tweeted a photo of state troopers’ cars lining the river, blocking migrants. “The Texas Department of Public Safety is in full force along the border around the Del Rio area,” he wrote. “They have built a barricade with their squad cars and State Troopers. The National Guard is working with them to secure the border.” The Del Rio mayor thanked Abbott for the deployment in a video posted late Saturday. “The governor is trying to provide assistance to help ensure the security of the port and to ensure that we don’t have any major mass movement in case anybody or any individuals begin to just flock the port,” Lozano said.

before addressing the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday and hosting the vaccine summit. The U.S. has enough vaccines to give Americans boosters without withdrawing its donation pledges, but “the scope of that expanded access is going to reverberate through the system,” said global Tom Bollyky, director of the global health program at the Council on Foreign Relations. Some donations have been bogged down by red tape. To send 3.5 million Moderna doses to Argentina in July, for example, U.S. officials had to hash out a nine-step process, including regulatory approval, legal amending agreements, contracts, and even a change in local vaccine regulations. Argentina’s president, Alberto Fernandez, signed a decree smoothing over legal and technical terminology to pave the way for the donation. U.S. donations have shipped daily or near daily. From the time of production, there is a 96-hour window to pack, ship and deliver frozen vaccines before they spoil. Trucks, planes and even Coast Guard ships are making the deliveries.

Buffalo Soldiers set visit Peña Adobe Park Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

LAGOON VALLEY — Company G of the 10th Cavalry, better known to history as the Buffalo Soldiers, will ride out of western history and into Peña Adobe Park for the first time Oct. 2. They will be joined by the mounted volunteers of Solano County Sheriff’s Posse and their horses at the Peña Adobe Historical Society’s monthly open house. The Buffalo Soldiers are a living history group that was established almost 30 years ago in the Sacramento area. The group re-creates the Black cavalry units that served in the Old West from 1866 to 1891. The Black cavalrymen were

given their nickname by the American Indians because the Black men’s dark hair was so similar to the buffalo’s winter coats and the color of the cavalrymen’s skin. Company G’s goal is to tell the story of the Buffalo Soldiers’ history by visiting schools, community organizations, churches and public events. They will have two tables with artifacts of the Buffalo Soldiers’ history on display and members, dressed in the uniform of that time, will be on hand to talk with park visitors. The Sheriff’s Posse has been part of the Solano County Sheriff’s Office for more than 70 years and is comprised of volunteers who use their horses and equipment to help the department with

search-and-rescue efforts, emergency services and as public ambassadors. Scott Griffin of the Fairfield-based Griffin Coin Company will be exhibiting portions of his collection of Civil War-era coins at the open house. The Peña Adobe, built in 1842 by pioneer Juan Felipe Peña, is Vacaville’s oldest existing structure. The park is home to the Mowers-Goheen Museum, which preserves the area’s early history and will be open to visitors Oct. 2. The open house runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the park, which is located in Lagoon Valley at the end of Peña Adobe Road. For more information, call 447-0518, send an email to penaadobe@gmail.org or go to www.penaadobe.org.

PG&E warns of safety blackouts amid risky wildfire conditions Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO — PG&E Corp. warned it might shut off power to thousands of customers in portions of 13 California counties starting Monday morning because of dry wind amid critical fire weather conditions. Pacific Gas and Electric Co. sent notifications on Saturday to the customers who could be affected by this latest Public Safety Power Shutoff “to reduce the risk of wildfire from energized power lines,” according to a company news release. The potential shutoffs include 20 affected PG&E customers in Yolo County. PG&E is already under investigation in connection with the Dixie fire, which started July 13 and has become the second-largest wildfire in California history. Last week, victims sued Pacific Gas & Electric Co. over damages from the fire. Cal Fire is investigating whether the Dixie fire was sparked by PG&E equipment.

The largest number of PG&E customers who could have their power shut off Monday are in Shasta County with 3,166 customers; Butte County with 2,735; and Tehama County with 2,270. Sonoma and Napa counties each have more than 1,000 potentially affected PG&E customers. Solano, Colusa, Glenn, Kern, Lake, Mendocino, Santa Barbara each have fewer than 1,000 affected customers. The potential power shutoff could also affect PG&E customers in two tribal areas, including 50 in Grindstone Rancheria and eight in Cortina Rancheria. On Sunday, PG&E said its meteorologists were continuing to monitor a potential weather system that could bring dry offshore wind and possibly some rain to these affected areas. If the wind arrives without the rain amid “extreme to exceptional drought and extremely dry vegetation,” PG&E officials said

they will need to shut off power to these customers. “The potential shutoffs could begin Monday morning in portions of the North Coast and North Bay; shutoffs in the Northern Sierra foothills and Kern County could begin Monday afternoon, depending on the timing of the wind event,” PG&E said in the news release. Customers were notified via text messages, emails and automated phone calls. PG&E customers also can also look up their address online to find out if they’re included in the potential power shutoff. On Sunday, the National Weather Service in Sacramento issued a red flag warning Sunday night through Monday evening for portions of the Sacramento Valley, the coastal range and surrounding foothills. The red flag warning will remain in effect through Tuesday morning in portions of the Sierra Nevada, Southern Cascades and its adjacent foothills.

Cal alum Homa surges in Napa for 3rd PGA Tour win Tribune Content Agency Barely more than 2½ years ago, when Max Homa mostly was known as the funny golfer on Twitter, he acknowledged the uncommon disparity between his avid following and his pedestrian results on the PGA Tour. “I probably have a fairly large fan base compared to what I deserve for my golf,” Homa said then. Now, his fan base and his accomplishments are trending in the right direction. Homa, a Cal alum who won the 2013 NCAA individ-

ual championship, pocketed his third PGA Tour victory Sunday in Napa. He earned it, shooting a final-round 65 to surge past Stanford alum Maverick McNealy (68) and win the Fortinet Championship at Silverado Resort. Homa and McNealy separated themselves from the pack coming down the stretch. Homa ultimately prevailed by playing the final seven holes in 5-under, while McNealy – after playing bogey-free for the first 16 holes – stumbled with a costly double bogey on No. 17. McNealy’s quest for his

maiden professional victory shows the difficulty of winning on the PGA Tour. He earned consensus national player-of-the-year honors as a Stanford sophomore in 2015, matched Tiger Woods and Patrick Rodgers for the school record with 11 career victories and spent time as the world’s top-ranked amateur. Then he turned pro and vanished into the pack. But McNealy, 25, after two seasons on the Korn Ferry Tour and two on the PGA Tour, clearly is getting closer. He finished 58th on the FedEx Cup

points list last season, posted a career-best second-place finish in February at Pebble Beach and enjoyed a steady if unspectacular summer. Homa, 30, also was a standout in college, winning the Pac-12 and NCAA individual titles as a Cal senior in 2013. Much like McNealy, it took Homa time to find his way on tour – he won twice on the Korn Ferry Tour (in 2014 and ‘16) but didn’t pick up his first PGA Tour victory until 2019 at the event in Charlotte. Then, in February, he won his hometown event in Los Angeles,

outlasting Tony Finau in a playoff at storied Riviera Country Club. Homa hopped into the fray in an improbable way Sunday. His wedge shot on No. 12, from the right rough, landed on the front of the green, rolled and rolled and rolled ... and then disappeared into the hole for eagle, abruptly vaulting Homa one shot behind McNealy. Then, on No. 13, Homa dropped a 21-foot birdie putt to pull even with McNealy at 17-under-par. Big Game on, Cal vs. Stanford down the home stretch.

which they had one play gain more than 17 yards, averaged 3.1 yards a carry, didn’t force a turnover, were outgained (326-306) and still led by 14 points with four minutes left. “A really pretty game is very hard to do,” center Alex Mack said. “You’ve just got to savor the wins.” He didn’t have to tell that to Jennings.

49ers dancing after ugly 17-11 win over Eagles PHILADELPHIA — After Jauan Jennings spoke with reporters in the visitor’s interview room at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, the 49ers young wide receiver stepped away from the podium, hopped down from the riser and did something no one saw coming. “Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!” Jennings sang as he danced in a semicircle a few feet from reporters. Jennings, 24, then grabbed his backpack and passed linebacker Fred Warner on his way through a door back to the locker room.

Said Warner, smiling, before fielding his first question: “That’s that 2-0 feeling right there.” Jennings’ joyous and inartistic music-dance number was off-key, odd and disjointed, which made it the perfect celebration for a 17-11 win over the Eagles which the victorious players described as “dirty” (tight end George Kittle) and “grimy” (Warner). The 49ers improved to 2-0 after with the second straight road win, victories that sandwiched a week of practices in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. They did so with a grind-it-out style in

Shane-Nicole Sheppard got Solano on the board first with an unassisted goal in the 27th minute with Lenaye Ringler scoring off a pass from Dakota Marin in the 45th minute to make it 2-0 at the half. Eight minutes into the second See Local, Page B8

Kris Bryant was presented as a do-itall ballplayer, able to appear at many positions and hit anywhere in the lineup. In large part, that has worked out for the Giants, who have welcomed the former Cub onto their Octoberbound bandwagon and valued his championship pedigree. Versatility, however, is not easy to manage even for the stars. In Sunday’s 3-0 loss to the Braves, Bryant started at his third position in three days and struggled with a couple of plays that demonstrated how tough it is to fulfill so many roles. The Giants, who collected just four hits (all singles) off Max Fried and two relievers, dropped a game in the standings and lead second-place Los Angeles by one game with 12 to play. They concluded their homestand 4-3, splitting four games with the Padres and winning two of three

from the Braves. Anthony DeSclafani pitched six scoreless innings, but the game changed in the seventh when Austin Riley hit a catchable fly to right-center that Bryant didn’t catch. He appeared tentative and not so comfortable with the quirkiness of Oracle Park. “Definitely it’s one of the weirdest right fields in baseball,” Bryant said. “You really have to try to pinch the gaps more than other fields because you’re dealing with such a deep right-center.” Bryant ventured to the warning track toward Triples Alley, not quite quickly or assertively enough, and Riley got a double. The next batter, former Giant Adam Duvall, smoked a two-run home run for a 2-0 Braves lead. That ended DeSclafani’s day after 84 pitches, and reliever Zack Littell immediately surrendered another homer to Eddie Rosario, who See Giants, Page B8

A’s sweep Angels in battle between Ohtani and Montas Tribune Content Agency A pitcher’s duel came down to the ninth inning. The Oakland A’s bullpen couldn’t hold a two-run lead. In extra innings, the A’s beat the Angels, 3-2, to extend their win streak to five games and sweep Los Angeles. Sergio Romo shouldered the burden, putting the game-tying runs in scoring position with a pair of hits and productive out. Jose Rojas’s double tied the game. Though Jared Walsh, the game-tying run, held up at third initially, Romo didn’t back up right fielder Seth Brown’s throw, which sailed to the back stop to allow Walsh to score. Lou Trivino took over and struck out back-toback batters to send the game into extra innings. The A’s took the lead in the 10th on a single from Mark Canha and sacrifice fly from Jed Lowrie, scoring desig-

nated runner Matt Olson from third. In the thick of a contentious postseason race, Shohei Ohtani had to be the guy the Oakland A’s wanted see on the mound Sunday afternoon. Questions surrounded Ohtani’s availability to pitch as he dealt with arm soreness, but he got Sunday’s start at the last minute and was every bit a frustration for A’s hitters. Good for Oakland, though, was that their starter Frankie Montas was up to match him inning-forinning in a battle of two pitchers with some of baseball’s best split-finger fastballs. Montas held the Angels to one hit – a Brandon Marsh double in the third inning – and four walks in seven scoreless innings. Montas struck out seven Angels and got them to whiff on his splitter eight times.

Social Security retirement benefits are turning into one hot topic as some speculate that next year’s cost of living adjustment could be as much as 6.2%.

Consumer Price Index. Mary Beth Franklin, a Any increase due to COLA renowned author specializing will show up in checks and in unraveling Social Secudirect deposit benefits paid rity intricacies, says she has in January. heard some financial planners Right now, it looks like wonder whether it’s a good time to claim benefits now to lock in the cost-of-living adjustment that eye-catching cost-of-living is going to be around 6.2%, according to the Senior Citizens adjustment.

And she uncovered something most people don’t know. Her take is that anyone who is age 62 or older in 2022 and who is eligible for Social Security will profit from next year’s COLA – even if they have not yet filed for benefits. “I worry that some people may rush to claim Social Security this year to benefit from the exceptionally large costof-living adjustment expected next January,” Franklin told me by email. “I’m sure most people do not realize that they automatically will benefit from next year’s COLA – even if they have not yet filed for Social Security – as long as they are at least 62 or older in 2022,” said Franklin, who wrote “Maximizing Social Security Benefits,” an online book that is available for $29.95 at MaximizingSocialSecurityBenefits.com. If there are future inflation adjustments, she noted, those who are 62 and older would see inflation adjustments baked into future payments each year until they claim benefits all the way up to when they reach age 70. She points out that the Social Security Administration notes: “You’re eligible for cost-of-living benefit increases starting with the year you become age 62. This is true even if you don’t get benefits until your full retirement age or even age 70.” You can begin to receive Social Security benefits as early as age 62, but you’re getting a far lower monthly payout if you claim benefits long before reaching a full retirement age. Those who turn 62 next year and afterward face another issue, too. Anyone who was born in 1960 or later has a full retirement age of 67. (If you were born on Jan.1, you’d refer to the previous year.) Once that full retirement age was 65. But it has been gradually moving higher. It moved to age 66 for those born in 1943 to 1954. It jumps to 66 and two months for those born in 1955 and after. It

gradually climbs upward by two-month increments and it hits 66 years old and 10 months for those born in 1959. For those turning 62 in 2022 and after, the retirement benefit is reduced by 30% – or $300 on a $1,000 monthly payment – if that group claims at 62 instead of age 67. Each year that you wait past age 62, you get a higher payout. The Social Security Administration said it adds cost-of-living increases to your benefit beginning with the year you reach 62. And benefits then could be adjusted each year to reflect any increase in the costof-living as measured by the Consumer Price Index. It’s great news for some end-of-the-line baby boomers who have not yet retired or claimed Social Security retirement benefits. The cost-of-living adjustment will, of course, provide extra cash for retirees and seniors who are already collecting Social Security retirement benefits. But Franklin also warns that retirees age 65 and older need to watch out for premium hikes for Medicare Part B, which are expected to rise in 2022 and could erode some of the COLA increases in Social Security. Part B covers outpatient and diagnostic services. Its monthly premium, which is deducted from Social Security benefits, changes on a yearly basis. Franklin said the amount of the premium increase would be known in November.

Ways to look at Social Security People can apply up to four months before they want their Social Security retirement benefits to start. When they’re ready to apply for retirement benefits, they can use the online retirement application at SSA.gov. In Michigan, there were nearly 1.54 million people receiving Social Security retirement benefits as of December

2020, the most recent information available. Michigan’s state population as of April 1, 2020, was at 10,077,331 people. So nearly 15% of the population receives Social Security retirement benefits. Laurence Kotlikoff, professor of economics at Boston University, said he’s quite concerned that inflation will continue to be higher in the years ahead. If inflation continues, he said, many people are better off waiting to take Social Security past age 62 so that they ensure a larger share of their old age income is inflation-protected. “Inflation should make you more prone to being patient when taking Social Security,” said Kotlikoff, who is president of Economic Security Planning, which offers an online tool called “Maximize My Social Security” for $40 a year for individuals. Kotlikoff said even without the concerns of inflation, waiting to take Social Security closer to age 70 is the “best move by a mile for roughly three quarters of households.” He said the the inflationadjusted benefit at 70 is 76% higher than at age 62. If prices are going up, he said, waiting to take Social Security closer to full retirement age offers a roughly 7.6% hedge for each year you wait. Kotlikoff, co-author of “Get What’s Yours – the Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security Benefits,” notes that people can tend to live longer than they’d expect and delaying claiming Social Security benefits for as long as possible can be both a hedge against inflation and longevity. Rushing to make a move just based on the Social Security headlines could end up being the exact wrong thing to do for some in their early 60s.

Molasses crinkles a perfect back-to-school treat

recipes from the first 15 years of the Star Tribune Holiday Cookie Contest. By the way, that icing recipe was a snap. Combine 1½ cups of powdered sugar with 3 tablespoons of milk (or 3 tablespoons of melted and cooled butter), then whisk until smooth. For a yuletide touch, I stirred in some finely chopped crystallized ginger. Yeah, I won. Thanks, Mrs. Hewitt.

Rick Nelson Star Tribune

ne of the rules of my book club is that the host provides dessert, and one of the joys of my book club is that many of its members are excellent bakers. Years ago, fellow book clubber and colleague Chris Hewitt was serving cookies, and one of them was a fantastic molasses crinkle. The texture really stuck out: slightly crisped-up on the outside, yet softly chewy on the inside. Another duality? It looked like an everyday cookie jar cookie, but tasted like so much more, exuding a rich molasses bite that tickled the nose before landing on the taste buds. Molasses crinkles are a lifelong favorite of mine. They were a staple of my mother’s baking repertoire, and frequently ended up in the brown paper lunch sacks I carried every day to Palmer Lake Elementary School. Turns out, Chris shares a similar history. “Everyone in our family loves them,” he said. “My sister and I have always called them ‘Molasses Shops,’ and we still do, which makes no sense. We thought the name on Mom’s recipe card said ‘shops,’ but it’s ‘snaps.’ Which is weird, because they don’t snap, they’re a soft cookie.” Unlike me – I probably didn’t bake a single molasses crinkle during my 20s and 30s – Chris incorporated his mother’s recipe into his baking routine. “I’ve always made them,” he said. “They’re so easy, and forgiving. You could throw all the ingredients in a bowl, hit the mixer button and they’d be fine. And they make your house smell so good. Even if you’re going to give them all away, they’re worth making.” Chris being Chris, he generously shared the recipe. Over the intervening years I’ve prepared it so many times that I barely need to reference my splattered and wrinkled handwritten copy. Since I’m incapable of leaving well enough alone, I’ve tweaked Judy Hewitt’s formula to the point where I wonder if she’d recognize it. (I hope she approves). Her version calls for shortening (turns out, she originally used bacon fat), but I prefer cookies made with butter. I’ve replaced some of the granulated sugar with dark brown

Mrs. Hewitt’s Molasses Crinkles is the ultimate lunchbox cookie. sugar to underline the molasses flavor. Instead of a whole egg I use just the yolk, and if the eggs are small, I’ll make it two yolks. Rather than cinnamon, I’ve inserted hints of cardamom and allspice. Sometimes I play around with the spice levels, adding more ginger and/or cloves, or giving the pepper mill a few more cranks. I prefer using a strongly flavored molasses, because they’re called molasses crinkles. For this reason I skip the familiar (and, let’s be honest, dull) Brer Rabbit brand, and pick up the full-bodied organic molasses from the Wholesome label, available at some supermarkets and most natural foods co-ops. The slightly larger Wholesome bottle is often twice the price of its more familiar competitor, so it’s a splurge. But the best baked goods start with the best ingredients. I also purchase ground spices in the bulk aisle at the co-op; it’s cheaper, because you can buy what you need, and the flavor is generally more lively.

Sometimes, I refrigerate the dough overnight. This step helps relax the flour’s glutens and dials up the tenderness factor, although it also takes away from the lunchbox cookie genre’s no-fuss nature. On a similar note, this is an excellent work-ahead cookie. Form the dough into balls, arrange them in a single layer, freeze them and then store in the freezer in an airtight container. When you’re ready to bake, allow the dough to thaw slightly, roll the dough balls in sugar and bake. That sugar, by the way, is all the embellishment this cookie needs. I love how a rustic beauty develops as the tops form their namesake fissures, and the way the sugar twinkles against the copper-tinted dough. However, I once created a dolled-up version, and the results are worth noting. The occasion was our department’s holiday cookie competition. True to form, I’d completely forgotten about it until the night before. Baking

cookies was the last activity that I wanted to do; I’d recently wrapped up the Star Tribune’s annual holiday cookie contest and, to be honest, I was cookied out. Turns out, staging a cookie contest for nearly 20 years creates expectations, including mandatory participation in the office baking competition. Oh, and your entry had better be good. If not, as they say in Texas, you’re all hat and no cattle. I took a quick pantry inventory and realized that we had all the ingredients for Mrs. Hewitt’s Molasses Crinkles. Which was perfect, because my rock-bottom energy level was an ideal fit for this easy-to-prepare recipe. I knew that, flavor- and texture-wise, I had a contender on my hands, but maybe a festive icing might make it irresistible to the judges’ panel. I turned to an easy formula from – where else? – “The Great Minnesota Cookie Book,” which features the winning

MRS. HEWITT’S MOLASSES CRINKLES Makes about 3 dozen cookies. 2 ¼ cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 ½ teaspoon ground ginger ½ teaspoon ground cardamom ½ teaspoon ground cloves ¼ teaspoon ground allspice ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ¼ teaspoon salt ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature ½ cup plus 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling dough 1 ⁄3 cup dark brown sugar 1 egg yolk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup dark molasses Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cardamom, cloves, allspice, black pepper and salt, and reserve. In the bowl of an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter until creamy, about 1 minute. Add granulated sugar and dark brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat until thoroughly combined. Reduce speed to low, add molasses and mix until thoroughly incorporated, scraping down sides and bottom of bowl and mixing thoroughly. Add flour mixture in thirds, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Place about ¾ cup granulated sugar into a wide, shallow bowl. Form dough into 1-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until cookies are browned and slightly puffy, with cracks in the tops, about 11 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking (if using a convection oven, check on them at 9 minutes, and if still slightly wet in the cracks, bake an additional 30 seconds). Do not overbake. Remove from oven, cool cookies on baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

The new Impossible nuggets actually taste like chicken Emily Heil

The Washington Post

he nugget aisle at the grocery store – already packed full of varieties, from dinosaur-shaped to sauce-slicked – gets a plantbased addition as Impossible Chicken Nuggets hits frozenfood cases this month. The new product from the company behind the faux-beef Impossible Burger is now available to restaurants – and a handful of celebrity chefs have designed menu items featuring the soy nuggets for its debut. “Impossible Nuggies” are on the menu of David Chang’s trendy Fuku in New York alongside the chain’s signature fried-chicken sandwiches, where they’re paired with two sauces and waffle fries. At Sean Brock’s Joyland in Nashville, Tenn., they’re served with pimento macaroni and cheese and a peach-infused sauce. Others incorporating the faux birds include Tal Ronnen at Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles and Traci Des Jardins at a pop-up called El Alto Jr., at the new State Street Market in Los Altos. Retailers carrying the product will include Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway, ShopRite, Giant Stores and Gelson’s, the company said.

Impossible Foods

Impossible Chicken Nuggets. Laura Kliman, who heads up product development for Impossible Foods, said in an interview that the nuggets sold to consumers differ slightly from those that are used by restaurants, which are typically using deepfryers to prepare them. But both, she said, rely on the company’s understanding of how flavors develop to mimic the taste of chicken. “You look at the attributes that are the most important – people want that golden appearance, so the color had to be right,” said Kliman, who spent about a year leading the team developing the nuggets. “You want them very crispy and crunchy. And then there’s the savory, juicy, mild chicken flavor.”

Of course, faux versions of meat products have been around for decades. Multiple varieties of plant-based nuggets are already available. But the high-tech tinkering used by Impossible Foods and other makers of vegan meat alternatives, including Beyond Meat, is an attempt to make the replicas all the more realistic in hopes of making alt-meats appealing to the masses. The category is intended to reduce the harm to the planet caused by factory farming, and it also purports to offer a better nutritional proposition, although some dietitians call the latter differences a toss-up. Fast-food companies have entered the game: McDonald’s is developing the “McPlant” with Beyond Meat, and Burger King carries an Impossible Whopper. Impossible recently followed up its popular burgers with ground pork sausage. Nuggets, Kliman said, were slightly different from anything the company had done before, but her team was attracted to the category simply because so many consumers are, too. Chicken, she noted, is the most popular meat in the United States. Getting the iconic childhood staple right presented challenges. “The most novel part was developing the coating

and breading, getting that really perfect crunchy exterior,” she said. The nuggets don’t contain heme, the ingredient derived from genetically modified yeast that the company has famously used to make its burgers “bleed” like beef. But otherwise, Kliman said, it employed a strategy similar to its approach with its original product, using plant-derived “flavor precursors” that develop while cooking, just as in real meat. The company claims that 7 in 10 customers preferred the Impossible nuggets over a leading brand’s real chicken nuggets in a blind taste test involving 201 tasters. We put it to a smaller-scale test. What would be the verdict of two slightly hangry food journalists (that would be me and my colleague, Olga Massov), after a day of work, and one 6 1⁄2 -yearold (Olga’s son, Avi)? We fired up our respective ovens and prepared the nuggets according to the simple directions: Preheat to 375, cook for 11 minutes. Over Zoom, we compared notes. “It does taste like chicken,” Olga marveled as she nibbled thoughtfully. I examined the dupe for your standard frozen nugget. The color was appealingly golden brown, and the texture of the

breading was nice and nubby. Upon tasting it, I agreed: The flavor was indeed savory and chicken-like. “I don’t mind this,” I said. That’s a higher compliment than it might seem – I don’t often eat nuggets and prefer less-processed strips or tenders over the mushed-up texture of a nugg. But I wouldn’t turn my nose up at these toasty hunks, even if they did share the slightly pasty interior as the chicken versions that inspired them. Avi, on the other hand, is a connoisseur who enjoys chicken and plant-based versions, and so his opinion seemed more important. We got him to pause for a few bites and he, too, was impressed. What did he like? “The outside!” What were his impressions? “I like it with ketchup!” Did he prefer these or real nuggets? “These! With ketchup!” I imagined other uses for them – as a crunchy element in a chopped salad, maybe, or tucked into a tortilla with tangy slaw. But their utility seemed best suited to the way I was consuming them right then – with no idea what or when dinner would be, served straight from the oven to a plate. And following Avi’s tasting notes, generously globbed with ketchup.

Daniel Craig as James Bond in “No Time to Die,” coming out this fall.

Top 10 movies for fall 2021: Hopes for streams, cineplex Tribune Content Agency While spring can really hang you up the most, as a great old song put it, autumn 2021 feels like an honorary spring in the making. Suspended cultural animation. Uncertain variants and a million separate, often competing comfort zones. Movie theaters have reopened, and people are going back, at least to some (much?) of what’s available, from “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” on down. Do the studios making those movies care? Or are they so invested in stocking their streaming platforms with new fish to fry to give much thought to the fate of the multiplex? The movie capturing the moment best is the new James Bond film “No Time to Die.” Its very title suits the feelings of both the vaxed, masked portion of the country and the live-free-and-die faction, millions and millions strong. The movie’s coming out Oct. 8, some 18 months after the $250 million franchise item was first scheduled to open. This is Daniel Craig’s final Bond picture, or so Craig says. It feels like a long goodbye, fulfilled at last. Unfashionably, “No Time to Die” will open in theaters only. Then it adds its streaming release option a few weeks later, date yet to be confirmed. Now that our kids are nearing full vaccination, I’m feeling a little better about going out to a movie, i.e. going into a theater. Let’s all do what it takes to bid our goodbyes to the pandemic, and the behavior, that got us where we are this fall — which is back, sort of, at a time of partial, hopeful recovery. Here are 10 prospects, all of which I sincerely hope turn out to be pips. As always, release dates are subject to change. “The Many Saints of Newark,” Oct. 1 in theaters and

on HBO Max. I’ve seen this one, and it’s good – a witty, melancholy “Sopranos” prequel in which teenage Tony (Michael Gandolfini, son of the late James Gandolfini) and his loving, fraught relationship with his uncle Dickie (Alessandro Nivola) is framed by family torment and late 1960s unrest. “Diana: The Musical,” Oct. 1 on Netflix for one day only; Broadway premiere, Dec. 16; Netflix streaming premiere to be determined. This is Diana’s season, all right, with Netflix sneaking “Come From Away” director Christopher Ashley’s “Broadway capture” edition of the new musical on Oct. 1, two months prior to the show’s Broadway premiere. Meantime “Spencer,” “Jackie” director Pablo Larrain’s take on the Lady Diana Spencer travails starring Kristen Stewart, premieres in theaters Nov. 5. “No Time to Die,” Oct. 8 in theaters. Retirement doesn’t suit James Bond, which is handy, because there’d be no movie if his old friend Felix didn’t solicit his sense of surly obligation. “Dune,” Oct. 22 in theaters and on HBO Max. Frank Herbert’s 1965 science-fiction phenom, previously filmed, after a fashion, by David Lynch, returns to transfix/disorient/ stun/frustrate/entice moviegoers looking for a little spice. “Arrival” and “Blade Runner 2049″ director Denis Villeneuve’s cast features Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Oscar Isaac. “The Harder They Fall,” Nov. 3 on Netflix and in theaters. Fantastic cast: Jonathan Majors, Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz, Lakeith Stanfield, Regina King, Delroy Lindo … here’s hoping it’s a bracing amalgam of fact-based history (protagonist Nat Love was a key Black post-Civil War figure of the Old West) and imaginative style courtesy of British director

and musician The Bullitts,aka Jeymes Samuel. “Eternals,” Nov. 5 in theaters. It sounds daft: Director Chloe Zhao, whose poetic naturalism served her so well in “Nomadland” and especially “The Rider,” heading up a Marvel movie? The results will be confined to theaters for at least 45 days prior to streaming on Disney Plus, which suggests Disney learned a lesson from the success of “Shang-Chi” and the wisdom of not self-cannibalizing your own menu offerings. “Julia,” Nov. 5 in theaters. Sony Pictures Classics is distributing this documentary about legendary cookbook author, chef and lover of life Julia Child. It premiered recently at the Telluride Film Festival. “Belfast,” Nov. 12 in theaters. Coming off the late summer/fall film festival circuit (writer-director Kenneth Branagh is scheduled to visit the Chicago International Film Festival in October with it), this black-and-white cinematic memoir delves into Branagh’s early years in Northern Ireland. The filmmaker’s ensemble features Jamie Dornan, Judi Dench, Ciaran Hinds and Caitriona Balfe. “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” Nov. 19 in theaters. Jason Reitman, son of original “Ghostbusters” director Ivan Reitman, takes a whack at revitalizing the ‘80s-sprung franchise. This one brings back several of the first movie’s ringers, Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver among them; headliners include Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Carrie Coon and Paul Rudd. “King Richard,” Nov. 19 on HBO Max and in theaters. Will Smith smells like an Oscar (or something like that), based on the early, tear-stained response to this biopic of Richard Williams – Venus and Serena’s father and coach.

However, West was worried about the adverse vulnerability. But if West had bid four hearts, probably South’s four-spade rebid would have ended the auction. When West bid only three hearts and North raised spades, South aggressively jumped to slam, hoping that his partner had a little something useful. South saw that he could ruff his two heart losers on the board. He won trick one in hand and cashed the heart ace, dropping East’s queen. Declarer paused, taking a quick look at East. Could that queen really be a singleton? No, it was obviously a false-card. South ruffed the heart six with the spade seven. Disaster! East overruffed and returned his last trump. Declarer had no home for his heart jack and went down one. If only South hadn’t sent a boy to do a man’s job (and tried for the overtrick), he would have been safe. He should have cautiously ruffed the heart six with the spade 10. He would have returned to his hand with a club to the ace and ruffed the heart jack with the spade seven, not caring when East overruffed.

FAIRFIELD — The new movies for the week debut Monday with “Clairevoyant,” about a spoiled rich girl who hires a camera crew on her journey to attain enlightenment. This mockumentary dives deep to find the right path but reveals that the way is not always shown. It’s not rated. “Intrusion” airs Wednesday on Netflix. The plot centers on a husband and wife who move to a small town. A home invasion leaves the wife traumatized and suspicious. It’s not rated. Thursday brings “Mayberry Man” to screens. The story centers on a famous movie star who is caught speeding in a small Southern town. The sentence: Attend the town’s annual Mayberry Festival, paying homage to “The Andy Griffith Show.” Look for an appearance from Karen Knotts, the daughter of Don Knotts, who played Deputy Barney Fife. It’s not rated. Friday’s new movies run the gamut. “Apache Junction” is an outpost of lawlessness, a haven for thieves and cold-blooded killers. After a big-city reporter arrives to write an article on the town, she becomes a target when a notorious gunslinger comes to her aid. Now she must entrust her future to a man with a deadly past. It’s rated R. “Birds of Paradise,” on Amazon Prime, is the story of an ambitious and gifted, if tomboyish, aspiring ballerina. She gets a scholarship to attend a prestigious ballet school in Paris. Her confidence and emotional fortitude are tested by a beautiful, mysterious fellow dancer, who recently lost her brother (and dance partner) to suicide. It’s rated R. “Courageous” is the tale of four men with one calling: To serve and protect. When tragedy hits home, the men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith and their fathering.

It’s rated PG-13. “Dear Evan Hansen” centers on a high schooler, plagued with social anxiety, who concocts a story to become closer to the family of a deceased classmate. It’s rated PG-13. “East of the Mountains” has Tom Skerritt as a retired heart surgeon and recent widower who learns he has terminal cancer. Determined to navigate his final days on his own terms, he shares the news with no one – not even his daughter. He opts to travel back to his boyhood home. The familiar landscape triggers memories and a connection with a kind stranger inspires new insight. It’s not rated. “I’m Your Man” stars Dan Stevens a humanoid robot designed to be the perfect life partner. It’s rated R. “Lone Wolf” centers on a group of environmental activists who are meeting in secret, with phone taps and more focused on them. It’s not rated. “My Little Pony: A New Generation” is set after the unimaginable has happened. Equestria has lost its magic. Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi are no longer friends and now live separated by species. But idealistic Earth Pony Sunny, voiced by Vanessa Hudgens, is determined to find a way to bring enchantment and unity back to their world. It’s rated PG. “On These Grounds” centers on a viral video showing a white school resource officer pulling a Black teen from her desk. One woman uproots her life to support the girl and dismantle the system. It’s not rated. “Solitary” is the story of a man who wakes up inside a room with no memory of how he got there. He discovers he’s a prisoner sent into space to form Earth’s first colony on another planet. The only thing worse than his fate is his unpredictable and ruinous cellmate. It’s not rated.

Adriana Durham/Authorized Signature 27455 TIERRA ALTA WAY, STE.B , TEMECULA CA 92590 (619) 465-8200 FOR TRUSTEE'S SALE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL 714-730-2727 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 (714) 730-2727 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site - www.servicelinkASAP.com - for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 138171. 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: 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 (714) 730-2727 for information regarding the trustee's sale, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkASAP.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case Ts# 138171 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.

49ers: 92-yard drive a key to victory From Page B1 time since Dec. 6, 1992. First, they went on a 12-play, 97-yard march that was capped by Jimmy Garoppolo’s 11-yard touchdown toss to Jennings with 12 seconds left in the second quarter. They followed with a 16-play, 92-yard drive that Garoppolo finished with a 1-yard sneak to give them a 14-3 lead early in the fourth quarter. Garoppolo, who was consistently off the mark in the first half, completed 12 of 13 passes for 111 yards on the long drives. He led an offense that wasn’t electric, but also didn’t have a turnover or allow a sack against a defense that had the third-most sacks in the NFL last year. “It was just staying with it,” Warner said. “It wasn’t our best ball by any means. But just staying

with it and coming up big in those moments.” It also helped that the defense and special teams had big moments while the offense was struggling to figure it out. The Eagles led 3-0 in the second quarter and had 1st-and-goal at the 1-yard line. They reached the doorstep after a 91-yard completion from Jalen Hurts to wide receiver Quez Watkins was followed by a pass-interference penalty on cornerback Josh Norman. But the Eagles were turned away when a trick play didn’t fool the 49ers on 4th-and-goal from the 3: Hurts pitched to wide receiver Greg Ward, who turned into a QB and a tossed an incompletion in Hurts’ direction in the end zone. It was a version of “Philly Special,” the played that was successful in their Super Bowl win in February 2018.

7-yard lines. In addition, defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw blocked a 47-yard field-goal attempt with the Eagles leading 3-0 in the second quarter, the 49ers’ first blocked field goal since 2016. It was part of a performance that left the 49ers far more satisfied than they were after their 41-33 season-opening win at Detroit in which they dominated until the Lions’ late-game rally. Why was Jennings singing and dancing? Warner, the only player who witnessed the impromptu celebration, wasn’t posed that question. But his feelings about the grimy win provided an explanation. “The hard ones,” Warner said, “are always the ones that mean the most.”

Shanahan said the goal-line stand, which was followed by their first touchdown drive, steadied the 49ers when the 91-yard completion made it feel like it was about to unravel. “That feeling gets going like, ‘Oh my gosh, what’s happening,’” Shanahan said. “But you just keep playing. When you do that and do it the right way – you don’t turn it over – you look at that scoreboard and that’s” (what happens). How odd was the game? How many times to you hear an NFL star take time to rave about the punter? “Before I continue,” Kittle said. “I have to give a shout out to our Mitch Wishnowsky . . . He was incredible.” Indeed, Wishnowsky headlined a stellar special-teams performance by dropping punts at the Eagles 3- and

Local: Report From Page B1 half, Marin found the net off a pass from Ximena Rodriguez and added a second goal nine minutes later with an assist from Sheppard. Esther Mendoza scored an unassisted goal for Ohlone in the 67th minute. In goal, Bailey Erbland had three saves without allowing a goal in the first half, while Fatima Guzman and Jessica Biasotti splitting time in the second half, the former

making a save. In a 5-1 loss to Evergreen on Friday, the visitors scored early, getting their first goal in the fourth minute, and often, leading 3-0 at the half and 5-0 before the Falcons got their goal in the 77th minute. Marin got her third goal of the week off a corner kick from Amber Morales. Solano hosts Modesto on Tuesday before opening Bay Valley Conference play at Mendocino on Friday.

Giants: Blanked From Page B1 wound up hitting for the cycle, becoming the only player other than Oakland’s Eric Byrnes in 2003 to get the cycle in the park’s 21-year history. Bryant also seemed to have a chance to catch the ball Rosario hit for a fifth-inning triple. “The first one, I was thinking of diving for. I just had no clue how much warning track I

had and didn’t want to end up diving into the wall,” Bryant said. “The second one I think was more catchable than the first.” Bryant’s strength is giving manager Gabe Kapler plenty of lineup and defensive options. As a Giant, he has made 20 starts at third base, eight in right, seven in left and three in center. He perfectly fits their constantly adaptive game-planning.
