Councilman will run if Spering stays on course to step down Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Councilman Chuck Timm said if Supervisor Jim Spering does not run for reelection, he will seek the District 3 county seat.

“If Mr. Spering does not run, I will run for his seat,” Timm said in a phone interview Monday. He has been on the Fairfield council for almost 12 years.

“If he decides to run, I would applaud that decision because I think he has been a great asset to the county,” Timm said, calling Spering a “great mentor” to him over the years.

Spering last week said that at this moment he does not intend to seek re-election, but left open the possibility he could change his mind.

Timm said he thinks it is TIMM important to have county supervisors who understand the issues cities face and that he would bring a current perspective to the Board of Supervisors.

Spering (Suisun City), as well as Supervisors John Vasquez (Vacaville), Mitch Mashburn (Vacaville) and Erin Hannigan (Vallejo) all served on city councils. Only Supervisor Monica Brown did not. She came out of the education sector and served on the Solano Community College board after a 39-year teaching career.

Timm noted critical issues such as homelessness, crime and infrastructure all require strong county-city relationships. He said he would issue a formal statement when the time comes.

Vasquez confirmed he will seek a sixth term on the Board of Supervisors.

The candidacy period for local primary elections opens Feb. 14 and ends March 11. The candidacy period for Superior Court judgeships is from Jan. 31 through Feb. 9, the county Elections Office reports.

The primary is scheduled for June 7.

FAIRFIELD — Councilwoman Catherine Moy confirmed Tuesday she is strongly considering a run at the 3rd District Board of Supervisors’ seat and expects to make a final decision by early February.

Moy said she also is weighing the possibility of running for Fairfield mayor.

“I’m ready to run, but I’m not 100%,” Moy said in a phone interview. “Obviously this community (Fairfield) has been good to me . . . and what I’m looking at is whether I can help a wider range of residents.”

If she decides to run for the county post, she would be the second member of the current City Council to join the race – depending on whether MOY Supervisor Jim Spering steps down as he has said his intentions are, at least for now.

Councilman Chuck Timm has said if Spering does not run for re-election, he is all in for the county office, citing the need to build on countycity relationships on critical issues, including homelessness.

Moy said while she has supported Spering, and specifically notes his expertise on transportation issues, his decision to run or not will not affect her decision.

“Even if Jim Spering is running, that would not deter me,” Moy said.

Either way, she said he expects the 3rd District election to be contentious, and could mark a swing in county policymaking. Her emphasis, she said, would be on homelessness and changing the focus on how to address the problem.

Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard, the Call of Duty publisher, for $68.7B The Washington Post Microsoft Gaming will acquire Activision Blizzard – the embattled video game publisher behind such hit franchises as Call of Duty, Warcraft, Overwatch and Candy Crush – in a $68.7 billion deal, the company said in a blog post Tuesday.

The proposed price would make Activision Blizzard the largest acquisition in Microsoft’s history, even as Activision Blizzard grapples with multiple lawsuits and claims of a toxic work environment.

The announcement from Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer comes as Activision Blizzard faces a series of crises. In July, the publisher was sued by California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH); the state agency’s suit alleging widespread gen-

But we what many have described as an

“insurrection” that obstructed the constitutional transfer of power from one president to another.

I’m often asked to explain how presumably well-educated citizens can behave in ways that display such a profound ignorance of, and distain for, the fundamental principles of American democracy. People ask, “What, if anything, do schools teach about the values and practices of democratic government?”

In a nutshell, my response is “plenty.” There is no shortage of information, curricular programs or instructional materials and practices to suggest that our schools are falling short. In fact, most American schools today teach far more than mere facts and chronologies relating to American government (unlike my own public school experience more than 55 years ago).

Today, children from kindergarten to 12th grade receive a rich, conceptually integrated and developmentally appropriate education covering content knowledge, democratic values

and dispositions, civic responsibilities, political engagement strategies and the ability to make moral and well-informed judgments about public policies, political behaviors and their outcomes.

California schools adhere to a diverse array of Education Code statutes related to American government and a regularly updated curricular framework for civics education and related content standards. The frameworks and standards are closely aligned with inquiry-based and hands-on strategies delineated in the Common Core Standards to help students practice the skills of engaged citizenship.

For example, in kindergarten, children learn what it means to be a good citizen. In first grade, they learn to respect the rights and opinions of others. In third grade, they are introduced to the U.S. Constitution and the basic structure of American government. In fifth grade, they examine the Declaration of Independence, inalienable rights, the relationship between citizens and the

government, and the three branches of government. In eighth grade, students study major ideas, issues and events that shaped the founding of America. Finally, in 12th grade, students explore the meaning of liberty and equality by considering the actions Americans have taken to organize in support of, and in opposition to, government policies. They study the recurrent theme of citizenship and voting by analyzing how these rights and privileges have been contested and reshaped over time. They also examine the many contributions of Americans seeking to define the meaning of citizenship across the country.

Although we live in perilous times, public schools are working hard to prepare students to engage thoughtfully and productively in American democratic life.

shop – a wood framed, hand-stitched embroidery of a Bible verse I learned as a child: “To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. — Ecclesiastes 3:1.”

My life – much like yours, I suspect – is a series of seasons, each with its own purpose.

Some are dark as a moonless night. Others are dazzling as a day in May. But they are all meant to be lived with purpose and gratitude,

knowing that in time, every season, dazzling or dark, will surely come to end.

If you made your own magnet, what would it say? Would you hang it in your kitchen or hide it under your bed?

I wish I could see it.

If I made my own magnet, it would say this: “Life is short. Live it well.

Lose with grace. Love with abandon. Cry a little.

Laugh a lot. Sleep like a baby. And wake up each day just to see what will

happen next.”

I keep those words in my heart and take them out whenever I need them.

But I would hang that magnet in the kitchen right next to the sign that says “Eat.” Sharon Randall is the author of “The World and Then Some.” She can be reached at P.O. Box 922, Carmel Valley, CA 93924, or www.sharonrandall.com.

Entire staff at bagel shop quits in protest: ‘We’re not disposable’ Sarmiento has been chronicling the staff’s journey since their manager was fired and explaining why the entire staff decided to quit after several complaints of mistreatment from higher-ups.

Kowalski told KCRA 3 that the West Coast company told her she was suspended due to a customer complaint, then fired her without proper notification. She says there was no customer complaint, KCRA 3 reported, and she never asked the rest of the staff to quit in protest.

“We take the treatment of our team members very seriously and are looking into this matter. As an organization, we pride

Tribune Content Agency VACAVILLE — “Say no to toxic management,” a video that has racked up over 5 million views in three days declares.

The video capturing an entire staff of workers at a Vacaville bagel shop quitting in protest of the firing of a general manager has gone viral on TikTok since its posting.

Eighteen employees at Noah’s New York Bagels in Vacaville planned their exodus in support of their general manager, Bre Kowalski, TikTok user Beonce Sarmiento says.

“When the whole team pulls up on the same day to quit,” the 10-second TikTok reads.

ourselves on providing a rewarding work experience for all our team members as we seek to provide the best possible experience for our guests,” Noah’s Bagels told the news outlet in a statement.

Sarmiento says the company treated its employees like they were easily replaceable and did not take their manager seriously when she came to them with complaints of customers mistreating the staff.

“We’re not replaceable,” Sarmiento told KCRA 3. “We’re not disposable and you can’t just fire somebody and not let them know.”

In follow-up videos, Sarmiento says her

bosses told her and her coworkers that Kowalski failed to communicate properly with higher-ups, and she did not open up the store on time.

Sarmiento disputes this and says Kowalski was ignored by her bosses when she asked for help specifically handling customers who said they had Covid-19.

This combined with other issues with high-ups, Sarmiento says, led to the entire team quitting.

“We’re a team,” she said in the video. “We’re . . . near a family at this point.”

Positions for bakers, team members and team leaders are open on the Noah’s Bagels website.

LA chosen to host Summit of the Americas Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Los Angeles has been chosen by the Biden administration to host this year’s Summit of the Americas, a key gathering that U.S. officials hope will help mend diplomatic fences in the Western Hemisphere, officials familiar with the decision said.

The White House is expected to announce later Tuesday that the meeting – to be held on U.S. soil for the second time since the forum was created nearly three decades ago – will take place in early June in Los Angeles.

The administration is expected to cite the city’s “deep and robust” ties throughout the hemisphere as one of the reasons it was selected, according to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter ahead of the formal announcement.

President Joe Biden will attend the meeting.

Former President Donald Trump skipped the last summit, which was held in Peru in 2018.

The summit is scheduled to convene every three years, though it was delayed this time by a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

For the Biden administration, holding the meeting in Los Angeles provides ways to show the connection between U.S. domestic and foreign policy.

The city has a large population of Latinos with family members spread throughout Central and South America. Los Angeles has also been

hit particularly hard

by Covid-19, a disease that disproportionately affects Latinos.

The Los Angeles venue “is especially relevant for those of us who are hyphenated Americans,” the White House official said, noting “more than 224 languages spoken” in the greater Los Angeles area representing 140 countries.

The first such summit was held in Miami in 1994, with President Clinton as the host. It was billed as an early post-Cold War venue for regional partnerships in trade, aid and security.

The Biden administration has struggled at times to formulate and execute its policies in Latin America. A focus on the so-called Northern Triangle of Central American countries that fuel immigration into the U.S. has met numerous obstacles; Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has proved mercurial and unpredictable, and the Venezuela policy aimed at ousting dictator Nicolas Maduro is in disarray.

Another tricky issue is who is invited to the summit. Attendance has generally been limited to democratic countries.

Peru revoked Venezuela’s invitation in 2018, and Cuba has never attended. The administration official said criteria were still being discussed on who will be invited, such as whether countries like Nicaragua and El Salvador, where increasingly authoritarian leaders are exerting control, will make the cut.

Rapid at-home Covid-19 test kits are seen in Chelsea, Massachusetts, Dec. 17, 2021.

5 things to know about ordering free Covid tests Anumita K aur

LOS ANGELES TIMES

WASHINGTON — The federal website to order free rapid coronavirus tests went live on Tuesday, ahead of its scheduled Wednesday launch.

Covidtests.gov is an attempt by the Biden administration to remedy nationwide shortages of such at-home tests, with the president pledging the government will provide millions of such kits to Americans for free in coming months.

Here’s what you need to know about ordering at-home Covid-19 tests through the federal government’s website:

1. The process is simple The first thing to know: The website is already

taking orders. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Tuesday that the website was in “beta testing” and operating at a “limited capacity” ahead of its official launch on Wednesday. She added that the administration was anticipating having to address a “bug or two.”

I visited the site Tuesday morning – before Psaki confirmed it was taking orders – and was able to request free tests.

I even received an email confirmation of my order.

All I did was visit https://www.Covidtests. gov, type in my name, email address and shipping address. I am scheduled to receive four rapid at-home Covid-19 antigen tests.

You can opt to provide your email address to receive shipping updates.

An order confirmation will also be sent to this

email address.

The website will not process more than one order for the same address. If you try doing that, you will get this notification: “At-home Covid-19 tests have already been ordered for this address. Our records show that at-home Covid-19 tests have already been ordered for this address. We are unable to process duplicate orders for the same address.”

2. Think a few weeks down the road President Biden announced last month that his administration will push to deliver 500 million at-home tests amid criticism over his pandemic response and strained testing availability. Last week, he said that the administration will double

the number to 1 billion tests. The administration has said the first batch of those orders will begin shipping late this month.

The federal government website limits each household to four tests, and there will be a wait to get them. Officials said tests will usually ship via the U.S. Postal Service within seven to 12 days.

Lindsey Dawson, associate director of the Kaiser Family Foundation, said people should think about whether they will need the tests in coming weeks and months.

“If you’re going to school, if you’re engaging with people outside your household, if you’re using public transportation–there’s a whole range of ways that people might be at risk for contractSee Tests, Page A6

Jan. 6 panel subpoenas Giuliani Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and two other allies of former President Donald Trump who promulgated election fraud claims about the 2020 presidential election and worked to delay or overturn the results are being subpoenaed by

Tests From Page A5 ing Covid, so it makes sense to have some at home,” Dawson said in an interview.

3. Don’t take the tests for kicks The Centers for Disease Control recommends using an at-home test if you have a fever, sore throat, runny nose, or loss of taste or smell.

The agency also recommends people take a test at least five days within having come into contact with someone with Covid-19 and before gathering with a group of people, especially those at risk for getting seriously sick.

4. Private insurances are required to reimburse for athome tests, too Four tests per address will not meet everyone’s needs.

If a household requires more tests, people can buy them and get reimbursed by their private insurance carriers. Private insurance carriers are required to to reimburse the cost of up to eight tests per month.

the House select committee examining the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

Jenna Ellis, a Trump campaign lawyer, and Boris Epshteyn, a Trump adviser, also received subpoenas. They are all required to produce documents by Feb. 1 and sit for an interview Feb. 8.

“The four individuals we’ve subpoenaed

today advanced unsupported theories about election fraud, pushed efforts to overturn the election results, or were in direct contact with the former President about attempts to stop the counting of electoral votes,” Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said in a statement.

5. Frequent testing does not replace other Covid-19 precautions

tings, Dawson said.

Biden is expected to announce a plan this week to make high-quality face masks available for free. Public health experts have repeatedly warned that cloth masks do not provide enough protection against the more contagious omicron variant, recommending that people wear N95 or KN95 masks.

Dawson said testing is not enough to prevent Covid-19 from spreading. Such at-home tests “should be used in conjunction with other risk reduction strategies,” including getting vaccinated and wearing masks in crowded or public set-

Family files lawsuit against Amazon after tornado left 6 dead at warehouse Tribune Content Agency CHICAGO — A lawsuit against Amazon was filed Monday by the family of a delivery driver who was killed in December after a tornado hit an Amazon warehouse downstate, according to the family’s attorneys.

Six people who had been working at an Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville died following the Dec. 10 storm, which left dozens dead across multiple states.

Among them was independent contractor Austin McEwen, 26, who, like other workers, was allegedly required to work under conditions management knew to be unsafe, according to a news release from the law firm retained by the family. The facility had inadequate emergency plans and no basement shelter, the lawsuit contends, and McEwen and others who died were told to shelter in a bathroom during the storm.

The suit was e-filed Monday morning in Madison Circuit Court, though the courthouse was closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, an attorney for the family said.

A spokeswoman for Amazon disputed those claims in a statement, saying members of a local team “worked to move people to safety as quickly as possible.”

The lawsuit was expected to be the first filed against Amazon in connection with the deaths, according to Clifford Law Offices, the Chicago-based firm representing McEwen’s family.

“It appears that holiday profits took precedence

over safety,” said the family’s attorney, Jack Casciato, according to the news release.

In a statement, Kelly Nantel, a spokeswoman for Amazon, said the lawsuit “misunderstands key facts.” The building was new and up to code, Nantel said, and “local teams” were following weather conditions at the time of the storm.

“Severe weather watches are common in this part of the country and, while precautions are taken, are not cause for most businesses to close down,” Nantel said.

“We believe our team did the right thing as soon as a warning was issued, and they worked to move people to safety as quickly as possible.”

Amazon representatives previously have said its emergency response, including in the event of severe weather, is part of training for warehouse employees. Amazon directs employees to shelter during tornadoes, representatives said last month, but the company declined to specifically state when employees at the Edwardsville facility were warned about the threat.

Amazon recently opened warehouses across the south suburbs, in Markham, Matteson and University Park.

According to law enforcement officials in December, the other victims at the Amazon warehouse were Deandre Morrow, 28, and Etheria Hebb, 34, both of St. Louis; and Illinois residents Kevin Dickey, 62, of Carlyle; Clayton Lynn Cope, 29, of Alton; and Larry Virden, 46, of Collinsville.

Shelves displaying meat are partially empty as shoppers makes their way through a supermarket, Jan. 11.

Empty grocery shelves about worker shortages Tribune Content Agency The omicron variant is taking a toll on grocery workers who can sense customers’ frustration as they try to keep shelves stocked and checkout lines moving.

Grocery shopping in Dallas-Fort Worth in recent days may feel a bit like 2020, when food processors and consumer goods manufacturers couldn’t keep up with demand for pasta and toilet paper.

But this time the periodic empty shelves aren’t about the supply chain, experts say.

Stores and warehouses are being hit by worker shortages, said Gary Huddleston, grocery industry consultant to the Texas Retailers Association.

And shoppers should expect to use self-checkout lanes as the fourth spike in this pandemic leaves waves of workers suddenly out sick.

“Either other employees work overtime or the shift goes empty,” Huddleston said. That leaves groceries on trailers, in stockrooms or at distribution centers, he said.

“The pandemic and the shortage of workers continues to wear on everyone,” said Jennifer Foley-Howard, a spokeswoman for the UFCW Local 1000. The union, based in Grapevine, represents 8,000 North Texas workers at Kroger.

“Members are dealing with omicron and a lot

AT&T, Verizon delay 5G rollout near some airports Tribune Content Agency The two companies that hope to use a swath of radio spectrum to launch the next generation of wireless phone technology starting Wednesday said they’ll delay its deployment around some airports to ensure aviation safety.

AT&T, which along with Verizon last year bought a swath of spectrum for more than $80 billion, said in a statement early Tuesday it will “temporarily defer” turning on some of the towers that they had planned to use to deploy 5G in order to ensure that they don’t interfere with aircraft radar altimeters, which help planes navigate in low-visibility situations.

Verizon followed suit hours later, saying it would “voluntarily” limit its 5G network

around airports.

The companies have already twice delayed 5G deployment after outcry from the aviation industry, which has warned that interference could at best disrupt aircraft and at worst pose a risk to the flying public.

Tensions remain.

AT&T, clearly frustrated with the delay, said that the airline industry and the Federal Aviation Administration have had two years “to responsibly plan for this deployment.”

The company noted that 40 countries have been able to deploy 5G technology near airports without disrupting aviation.

Verizon expressed similar frustrations.

“The Federal Aviation Administration and our nation’s airlines have not been able to fully resolve navigating 5G around airports, despite it being safe and fully operational in

more than 40 countries,” a Verizon spokesman said.

Still, the company said it plans to deploy 5G.

of anxiety,” she said.

“They are tired and overworked.” Local 1000 has hundreds of workers out with Covid-19 on top of unfilled jobs, which brings the number of missing workers into the thousands, FoleyHoward said.

The first reported case of the coronavirus omicron variant in Texas was in Houston 40 days ago. Since then, the virus has spread rapidly, and it hasn’t yet peaked in North Texas.

In the past two weeks, Walmart has temporarily closed three stores in Dallas, Fort Worth and Richardson for professional cleaning after an increase in positive Covid-19 cases.

Grocery chains including Kroger and Central Market have reinstated mandatory mask-wearing for employees and are encouraging customers to wear masks. Several area school districts – including Forney, Mesquite and Mansfield – announced temporary closings this week, forcing parents to stay home from work.

That also contributes to worker shortages, Huddleston said. And school closings combined with more people being asked to work from home again means groceries are suddenly in higher demand.

Store employees are hustling.

At 9 a.m. on Friday, employees at a Kroger on Forest Lane in Dallas were trying to get the

store set for the weekend.

The perimeter of the store, where fresh and refrigerated cases line the walls with produce, dairy and meat, was fully stocked. Only a few aisles – cereal and pasta – were short of product but not empty.

Likewise, a Tom Thumb on West Northwest Highway, Central Market on Lovers Lane and a Walmart in North Dallas looked ready for the weekend.

Walmart employees said online orders have definitely picked up with the omicron surge. Curbside pickup slots may be hard to get from area grocers this weekend.

Stores are also depending more on selfcheckout lanes.

During the pandemic, most national chains made aggressive plans to install and expand selfcheckout lanes. About 61% of grocers surveyed by the food industry association FMI last year said they plan to reintroduce or enhance self-service to make checkout more convenient.

Self-checkout has been around since the 1990s, when the experience was pretty awful and the industry pulled back. It’s back because technology is better and consumers are using it.

According to FMI, 29% of all grocery store transactions in 2020 were completed in self-checkout lanes, up from 23% in 2019 and 18% in 2018.

For larger chains with more than 100 stores, that number was higher at 31% of transactions in 2020.

Many of those consumers are using online delivery or curbside for bigger orders anyway.

Kroger and Walmart are experimenting with all-self-checkout stores.

Kroger’s is in Oak Lawn and Walmart’s is in Plano.

Costco has added selfcheckout lanes in its Dallas store on Coit Road.

There’s a big debate – even during labor shortages and pandemics – about selfcheckout taking jobs away. But self-checkout can’t operate without a staffer standing ready to validate that shoppers are 21 when buying beer and wine and to help the technically challenged among us.

If you believe the buzz on social media platforms, shoppers hate self-checkout. But they’ll have to get used to it. Worker shortages are likely to continue and the UFCW Local 1000’s Foley-Howard says grocery employees are struggling.

“While there is much beyond their (workers’) control, and they continue to have their own personal challenges as result of this pandemic, they show up as front-line workers – years into this pandemic – and are doing their very best,” FoleyHoward said.

State surpasses 7M Covid cases Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — California has recorded more than 7 million coronavirus cases, after its fastest accumulation of reported infections in the history of the pandemic.

The unprecedented count, recorded in California’s databases late Monday, comes one week after the state tallied its 6 millionth coronavirus case.

Even during last winter’s disastrous wave,

Acquire From Page One repeated calls by employees to step down.

The deal would be Microsoft’s biggest purchase in its decades-long existence, and one of the largest acquisitions within the tech industry. It would surpass Microsoft’s 2016 acquisition of professional networking site LinkedIn, which the business software company bought for $26.2 billion. After the Activision Blizzard deal closes, Microsoft says it will become the thirdlargest gaming company by revenue, beat only by Tencent and Sony.

The acquisition comes at a time when the video game industry has made major strides both financially and culturally. In 2020, with people around the world self-isolating and turning to games amid the coronavirus pandemic, the gaming industry recorded double and even triple digit jumps in engagement in terms of sales and time spent online. S&P Global Market Intelligence predicted in November of last year video game content revenues would surge past $200 billion in 2022, after marked yearover-year leaps between 2019 and 2021.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has for years defended the value of the company’s gaming unit, even when some analysts had suggested the cloud-computing giant sell the company in previous years.

Following the news of the acquisition, Nadella announced that Kotick will stay on as CEO of Activision Blizzard. When finalized, that company will report to Spencer. In an email sent to Activision Blizzard employees Tuesday and shared with The Washington Post,

Early From Page One his high school classes.

He hopes to major in history when he goes fulltime as a college student.

“I just wanted to make ECHS a good student experience,” Flynn said.

“It has been shown in studies that students do better with a full stomach in the morning.”

He had friends from several of the other schools and while chatting with them realized they all had free breakfasts.

He wondered why Early College High School did not.

“I didn’t see a reason why we couldn’t also have a free breakfast,” Flynn said. “Students do better on tests, studying and that means it’s an investment in the community.”

Flynn brought his con-

new infections increased more slowly. It took a little over three weeks for California to get from its 2 millionth cumulative coronavirus case to its 3 millionth.

The stunning speed of new infections is a testament to the omicron variant’s transmissibility, believed to be two to four times more contagious than the delta variant, which in turn was more infectious than earlier strains that pummeled California last winter.

California’s daily Covid-19 death rate has also risen dramatically.

For the seven-day period that ended Sunday, the state was recording 103 deaths a day; that’s roughly double the last week of 2021, when 55 deaths a day were tallied.

At its worst, California’s Covid-19 death rate over a weekly period was 545 deaths a day, reached during late January 2021.

The dramatic surge in infections is con-

tributing to strained hospitals across swaths of California, many of which have said they’ve been forced to cancel scheduled surgeries amid crushing demand in emergency rooms.

The high rate of infections has also contributed to even scarcer staffing in hospitals. California’s state epidemiologist, Dr. Erica Pan, said last week that “we are seeing near-crisis levels” of emergency room overcrowding in certain areas.

Kotick wrote he would stay on as CEO “with the same passion and enthusiasm” he had when he started the job in 1991.

He wrote that the deal will close sometime by June 2023, pending regulatory approval, and until then, the company will stay autonomous from Microsoft.

Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is more than four times bigger than the previous record sum paid for a video game publisher set earlier in January when Take-Two Interactive announced plans to purchase mobile game maker Zynga for $12.7 billion.

In 2020, Microsoft paid $8.1 billion to acquire ZeniMax Media, the parent company of popular video game developer Bethesda Softworks.

The acquisition could also position Microsoft to better compete in the nascent business of the “metaverse,” or online worlds that have become a recent focus of tech companies.

Facebook recently changed its corporate name to Meta, in part to reflect its emphasis on building out the metaverse.

Buoyed by the releases of major new games like “Call of Duty: Warzone” and a mobile version of “Call of Duty,” Activision Blizzard soared over the past two years, peaking at over $100 per share in Feb. 2021. However, the company’s fortunes swung in July with the filing of a lawsuit from California’s DFEH. That lawsuit alleged genderbased discrimination and harassment, primarily at Blizzard Entertainment, one of the company’s major studios and the developer of “World of Warcraft.” Blizzard president J. Allen Brack stepped down as a result of the lawsuit, replaced by a tandem of Mike Ybarra and Jen Oneal.

Oneal stepped down from the position after just

three months and left Activision Blizzard at the end of the year.

The allegations in the DFEH lawsuit, and what some workers saw as a lacking response from the company, prompted a series of walkouts by employees. In November, more than 1,000 Activision Blizzard employees signed a petition calling for Kotick to resign as CEO, a call that was echoed by shareholders. The December termination of a dozen contractors working in quality assurance for Activision Blizzardowned Raven Software led several dozen workers to strike, demanding those contractors be reinstated and given fulltime positions.

“As a company, Microsoft is committed to our journey for inclusion in every aspect of gaming, among both employees and players,” Spencer wrote in Tuesday’s blog post announcing the deal.

“We deeply value individual studio cultures. We also believe that creative success and autonomy go hand-in-hand with treating every person with dignity and respect.

We hold all teams, and all leaders, to this commitment. We’re looking forward to extending our culture of proactive inclusion to the great teams across Activision Blizzard.”

Industry analysts believe the controversies around Activision Blizzard may have pushed downward the acquisition price. “[Microsoft is] paying a lot less than it would have a year ago,” said Joost van Dreunen, a lecturer on the business of games at the New York University Stern School of Business. He added that the deal could help Microsoft challenge PlayStation, the dominant console maker. “Across the ecosystem, there’s a land grab in content as

10 major platform holders are all looking to differentiate themselves, attract customers and lock in long-term audiences.”

Last week, in an interview on the New York Times podcast “Sway,” technology writer Kara Swisher asked Microsoft’s Spencer about the sexual assault allegations in The Wall Street Journal’s December report on Activision Blizzard.

“I always feel for people working on any team, my own teams, other teams. I think people should feel safe and included in any workplace that they’re in,” Spencer said on the podcast. “I’m saddened and sickened when I hear about workplace environments that cause such distress and destruction of individuals and teams.”

Last November, Spencer wrote an email to staff explaining that Microsoft was reevaluating its partnership with Activision. Spencer told Swisher that Microsoft had changed how the company partners with Activision Blizzard but didn’t go into any details.

Spencer went on to say that “Xbox’s history is not spotless” and he didn’t want to chastise other gaming companies.

“This isn’t about, for us as Xbox, virtue-shaming other companies,” Spencer said. “If I can learn from them or I can help with the journey that we’ve been on on Xbox by sharing what we’ve done and what we’ve built, I’d much rather do that than get into any kind of finger-wagging at other companies that are out there.”

Separately, Microsoft announced last week that it has hired an outside firm to conduct a review of the company’s sexual harassment and gender discrimination policies after a shareholding proposal pushing for the investigation was approved.

cerns to Petero through a petition signed by 105 students. She then brought it up to the school district board.

Petero said in a prepared statement that she, as a member of the Fairfield-Suisun School District governing board, was not aware that Early College High School was the only high school in the district that did not serve breakfast to its students.

“Evidently, students who attended ECHS were expected to go to Rodriguez High School to get their breakfast before attending classes at the Solano College campus,” Petero wrote.

She realized that was out of the way for many students.

“Just because you are in the ECHS program doesn’t mean that you aren’t disadvantaged,” she said.

Petero said she was surprised to hear at

the most recent board meeting the announcement from Superintendent Kris Corey that Early College High School would begin receiving breakfast.

“It’s wonderful,” Petero said.

Jennifer Aguilar, cafeteria lead at Rodriguez High School, on Tuesday served up a breakfast of cereal, milk, fruit, cinnamon crumble, juice and Pop-Tarts to about 75 students at the cafeteria at Solano Community College in rural Fairfield, where Early College High School students attend classes.

“I have no idea how many kids we are going to serve today,” Aguilar said early in the process. “It could be 200 because we have that many receiving a free lunch. So kids will be getting a free breakfast and lunch paid for by the school district.”

Mark Spinelli, a phys-

ical education teacher at Rodriguez High School, said he isn’t sure how much energy the students are going to get from breakfast but he does notice a difference in students after lunch.

“After lunch, they are incredibly awake,” he said. “If I was a betting man, I would say giving them a breakfast every morning will do the same thing.”

Leilani Montero, 15, logged in with her student identification number and took a crumble.

“I don’t have time to eat in the morning because my first class is at 7 a.m.,” Montero said.

She plans to major in architecture after getting her associate degree through the Early College High School program.

“Hopefully this will help so I don’t get anymore migraines,” she said. “They take me out for the whole day.”

“We’ve got to change.”

She said the funding for the necessary programs and services flows through the county, and the Board of Supervisors would benefit from having someone with her

hands-on experience.

Moy said she is being encouraged by her supporters to run for the county post.

“So everything is set for me to run,” she said.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, January 19, 2022 A9

Senate begins debate on voting rights legislation Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The Senate began debate on voting rights legislation Tuesday for the first time this Congress, inching toward putting every member of the chamber on the record about where they stand on the issue.

But the legislation is almost certain to die, perhaps as early as Wednesday.

The bills Democrats want to pass – the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act – will fall short of receiving the 60-vote threshold needed to end debate, and Democrats lack the unanimous support required in their caucus to change the rules to lower that supermajor-

ity requirement.

“Senate Democrats are under no illusion that we face difficult odds, especially when virtually every Senate Republican – virtually every Senate Republican – is staunchly against legislation protecting the right to vote,” Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor.

“But I want to be clear: When this chamber confronts a question this important – one so vital to our country, so vital to our ideals, so vital to the future of our democracy – you don’t slide it off the table and say ‘never mind,’” he said. “Win, lose or draw, members of this chamber were elected to debate and

to vote, especially on an issue as vital to the beating heart of our democracy as voting rights.”

After Senate Democrats met privately Tuesday afternoon, Schumer announced that the rule change they intend to pursue is a so-called talking filibuster, which would require opponents of a bill to continually speak on the floor to block it.

“We feel very simply on something as important as voting rights, if Senate Republicans are going to oppose it, they should not be allowed to sit in their office,” Schumer said. “They’ve got to come down on the floor and defend their opposition to voting rights, the wellspring of our democracy.”

Schumer earlier this month committed to taking up voting rights and rules changes by Monday’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, though he ultimately pushed that timeframe back due to concerns of a winter storm over the weekend.

And though the effort appears all but doomed, voting rights activists said they agree with Schumer’s approach to hold a vote, highlighting the importance of the American people seeing for themselves where each member stands.

Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have made clear they oppose abandoning the filibuster rule

to pass voting rights legislation, even though they support the legislation’s goals.

Now other moderate Democrats who may privately agree with Manchin and Sinema will have to determine which side they’ll align with when they vote.

“Much has been made about Sen. Manchin and Sen. Sinema,” said Rev. Leah Daughtry, former chief executive of the Democratic National Committee and campaign manager of the Fighting for Our Vote coalition.

“Are they the only two that are opposing? We need to know. So this is the time for Democratic senators and Republican senators to go to the floor and make

their positions known.

The American people deserve to know.”

Absent federal legislative action, new laws that have been enacted in states with Republican-led legislatures will remain in place during the midterm elections in November, potentially erecting new barriers to voting that weren’t in place in 2020.

Activists worry that mere confusion or uncertainty about the changing laws, in addition to new regulations that limit early voting, restrict drop boxes and absentee ballots and require voter identification, could depress turnout, particularly among a diverse coalition of voters who traditionally turn out for Democrats.

49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo ‘in a good spot’ Tribune Content Agency SANTA CLARA — Sprained thumb? Jimmy Garoppolo overcame it in an overtime win over the Rams. Sprained shoulder? He played through that albeit not too great in Sunday’s cliff-hanging win over the Cowboys.

“It’s playoff football,” Garoppolo said Tuesday.

“We know what time it is.

No time to rest right now.”

What does he have up his sleeve – or bandages, or brace, or harness – to

shake off Saturday night’s chill at Lambeau Field, where a low of 3 degrees is expected when the 49ers visit the top-seeded Green Bay Packers in the playoffs’ divisional round?

“I’ve played in the cold my whole life so it won’t be crazy with that,” Garoppolo, an Illinois native, said before Tuesday’s 5 p.m. practice.

“I’m learning to adjust and that’s what this week of practice is for. We’re in a good spot, though.”

Good, as in he’s confident he’ll play?

“We’ll feel it out throughout the week.

Feeling good right now,” Garoppolo responded.

Which injury is worse, the shoulder or thumb? “They’re pretty close,” he said.

After Garoppolo jammed his shoulder with an awkward landing in the second quarter of Sunday’s win at Dallas, he said every ensuing throw was impacted. All he did was stretch and not throw during Tuesday’s 5-minute media access to

the walk-through practice inside Levi’s Stadium.

As has been the case since Garoppolo’s Dec. 23 thumb injury – involving a torn ligament and bone chip – the 49ers surely will have ready rookie Trey Lance for action. Lance played the entirety of a Jan. 2 win over Houston, but Garoppolo has taken every snap the last two games.

What is Shanahan’s goal for Lance’s scoutteam role this week as he mimics Aaron Rodgers?

ALUMNI UPDATE

“Aaron does a real good job not making bad decisions and not turning the ball over,” Shanahan said. “He also makes all plays downfield whenever you’re off a hair. We need Trey to be aggressive and let it rip.”

Linebacker Fred Warner on that: “It’d be a tall task to tell Trey to be Aaron Rodgers three days before we head out there. He’s done great all season. You don’t really feel Aaron Rodgers until you’re out there against the man himself.”

Rodgers is 0-3 all-time in the playoffs against the 49ers – 2012 divisional round at Candlestick Park, 2013 wild-card thriller at chilly Lambeau, and the 2020 season’s NFC Championship Game rout at Levi’s Stadium.

Shanahan downplayed what was in the past and focused more on the present, adding: “Everyone knows Aaron is the man. But this doesn’t have to do with the last time See 49ers, Page B10

Vacaville High graduate Nevaeh DeSouza finished second in the all-around to help the California women’s

gymnastics team defeat Stanford at Haas Pavilion, Sunday.

DeSouza, Williams help Cal gymnastics top rival Stanford Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — It’s tough to match beating your arch-rival with the best season-opening performance in program history.

With Vacaville High graduate Nevaeh DeSouza finishing second Sunday in the all-around and Buckingham Charter grad Madelyn Williams tying for second on the uneven bars, the University of California women’s gymnastics team edged Stanford, 196.325-196.275.

DeSouza, a junior who like Williams is a former standout with Vacaville-based Dream Xtreme Gymnastics, had an all-around score of 39.475 to finish second to Stanford’s Kyla Bryant (39.675), won the vault (9.900), tied for third in floor exercise (9.875), tied for fourth on bars (9.850) and tied for sixth on beam (9.850).

Williams, a freshman making her first collegiate appearance, had a score of 9.875 on the bars.

It all helped the No. 7 Bears amass a score of 196.325, which topped the previous best for a season opener, a 196.200 at the Collegiate Challenge in 2020.

Buckingham Charter graduate Madelyn Williams made her debut wi t h t he C ali fornia women’s gymnastics team by finishing second on the bars at Haas Pavilion, Sunday.

MEN’S BASKETBALL Playing rare back-to-back-back conference games, Cal Maritime (7-5, 3-0 CalPac) got by Benedictine, 81-80, Park-Gilbert, 87-70, and EmbryRiddle, 85-64. Braxton Adderly (Rodriguez) didn’t

play against Benedictine, but had three points, three assists, two rebounds and one steal against Park-Gilbert, and six points and two rebounds against Embry-Riddle.

Phoenix Shackelford (Vanden) continued his strong play for Cal Poly Pomona (7-4, 3-4 CCAA) with 10 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists and three steals in a 91-85 overtime loss to Sonoma State and 23 points, five rebounds, two steals and one assist in an 87-67 thumping of Humboldt State.

Fourth-ranked William Jessup (19-2, 7-2 GSAC) suffered its second loss of the season by falling 78-75 to No. 8 Arizona Christian with Jordan Adams (Vacaville, Solano) contributing three points, four rebounds and one assist. Earlier, the Warriors edged Ottawa, 74-71, with Adams getting three points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal.

James Ballard Jr. (Vanden) had eight points, four rebounds, two assists and a block for Rochester (13-7, 6-4 WHAC) in a 77-69 loss to Lourdes.

Coming off the bench, Teiano Hardee was second in scoring for Sacramento State with 13 points as the Hornets (5-7, 1-4 Big Sky) lost 67-62 to Portland State. Hardee also had five rebounds and one assist.

Jay Nagle (Wood) had an assist for UC Santa Barbara (7-7 0-2 Big West) in a 79-73 loss to Cal State Fullerton.

Cal State East Bay (3-10, 1-6 CCAA) dropped a 76-64 decision to San Francisco State with Zack Perlstein (Vacaville) contributing seven points, three rebounds, three assists and one steal.

Michael Wudel (Wood) played for Lewis and Clark (6-8, 0-6 NWC) as the Pioneers lost to George Fox, 99-89 and Willamette, 82-78.

quarter, 29-24 at the half and 43-37 after three quarters before outscoring the Comets 14-1 in the fourth.

Dominique Eagling led Solano, which played just two reserves and shot 24.7% (19-of-77) from the floor and 13.3% (4-of-30) on 3-pointers, with 17 points, adding 17 rebounds and two assists.

Zaire Brown also had a dou-

ble-double with 11 points and 17 rebounds, blocking two shots.

Jaslyn Woods came close to matching her teammates with eight points and 13 rebounds, adding four assists and two steals, while Genesis Ernie-Hamilton had nine points, two rebounds, two steals and two assists.

The Falcons are scheduled top host Los Medanos on Wednesday.

Agendas of those around you will clash with your own. Nip it in the bud. If it’s not going to work out, it’s better to know early on. Assert yourself with quiet confidence, and all will be quickly sorted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The hurdles between where you are and where you want to be only matter to the degree you allow them to matter. If you keep your eyes on your lofty goal, you won’t even see them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Stars shine on sales, purchases or trading. Many problems are solved on the way to pleasing the customer.

Keep your ear to the ground; there’s some truth to the rumbling rumors.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). The one who is dragging their feet and taking forever to get a job finished will not deliver what’s needed in the time frame you agreed upon.

This is just a glitch. Put your back-up plan in place.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You’re an explorer.

You’ll travel to interesting places that happen to be in close proximity and can only be accessed through a bright and curious state of mind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll get the sneaking suspicion that someone wants something from you but isn’t saying what. Your feeling is right. Kindly and gently call people out. Make it safe for them to be direct with you.

IT LOOKS TOTALLY OBVIOUS, BUT ...

Arthur Koestler, a novelist and journalist, was born in Budapest but moved to London just before World War II. He claimed, “The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards.”

The right play in some bridge deals looks so obvious that almost everyone follows the same line. Then, when they go down and realize that a different,

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder unusual, approach would have worked, perhaps they have learned to think first, hunt for alternatives second and play third.

In today’s deal, how should South try to make four spades? West starts with three rounds of hearts.

North adds one point for his doubleton and makes a game-invitational limit raise. If, like me, you prefer to employ the Losing Trick Count, the North hand has only seven losers because you deduct one loser for a 10-card fit. That suggests forcing to game, but perhaps it is better to pull in your belt one notch.

Declarer has three unavoidable red-suit losers, so it seems as though he needs the club finesse to succeed. He ruffs the third heart, draws trumps and runs the club queen. But it loses, and South is an unhappy down one.

However, perhaps North will notice that his partner had two chances to get home. After pulling the trumps, South should have played three rounds of diamonds. Lo and behold, East would have had to win the third round and been endplayed either to lead away from the club king or to concede a ruff-and-sluff.

Finally, yes, if West shifts to a club at trick three, he defeats the contract.

East should signal first with the heart three (discouraging), then the heart four (suit-preference for clubs).

Dion cancels shows to focus on health Tribune Content Agency An ongoing health issue caused pop superstar Celine Dion to cancel another string of concerts as she focuses on her recovery.

Dion won’t return for the remaining North American shows on her “Courage” tour following treatment for “severe and persistent muscle spasms,” concert organizers said in an announcement Saturday.

“I suppose I just have to be more patient and follow the regimen that my doctors are prescribing,” Dion said in a statement. “There’s a lot of organizing and preparation that goes into our shows, and so we have to make decisions today which will affect the plans two months down the road.”

The canceled concerts were scheduled

to take place from March 9 to April 22.

Stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C., were among those that were canceled.

Last October, Dion postponed the debut of her latest Las Vegas residency, which had been scheduled to begin in November, due to recurring muscle spasms.

“I’m heartbroken by this,” Dion, 53, said at the time.

Her current “Courage” tour was postponed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and is now slated to resume in England in late May. The Canadian-born singer had performed 52 concerts on the tour before the pandemic postponement.

Dion is known for hits such as “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” and “My Heart Will Go On.”

CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

Newsom backs away from single-payer health care

G

ov. Gavin Newsom, when he unveiled a new state budget last week, crowed about California becoming the nation’s first state to embrace universal health care coverage.

His budget would accomplish that goal by extending state Medi-Cal coverage to undocumented immigrants of all ages, beginning in 2024.

“I campaigned on universal health care,” Newsom said a day later. “We’re delivering that.”

Not quite.

While running for governor in 2018, Newsom pledged to create a single-payer system for California, making the state Dan Walters the sole supplier of coverage.

“I’m tired of politicians saying they support single-payer but that it’s too soon, too expensive or someone else’s problem,” Newsom said during the campaign.

That pledge won Newsom the support of single-payer advocates. The California Nurses Association decked out a bus that toured the state with a picture of Newsom’s face and the words: “Nurses Trust Newsom. He shares our values and fights for our patients.”

However, once elected, Newsom did virtually nothing to implement the promise.

Instead, as the state’s finances allowed, he extended Medi-Cal coverage incrementally to undocumented immigrants and others lacking private or public coverage.

Along with mandates and subsidies from “Obamacare,” state actions eventually raised health coverage to 94% of Californians and Newsom’s latest extension to undocumented adults would make it, at least on paper, 100%.

Newsom gets a bit testy when reporters ask him about his 2018 pledge. As he was introducing his budget this month, the state Assembly was beginning to move a single-payer bill for what’s called CalCare, and asked about it, Newsom replied, “I have not had the opportunity to review that plan, and no one has presented it to me.”

“I think that the ideal system is a singlepayer system,” Newsom said. “I’ve been consistent with that for well over a decade. . . .

The difference here is when you are in a position of responsibility, you’ve gotta apply, you’ve gotta manifest, the ideal. This is hard work. It’s one thing to say, it’s another to do.

And with respect, there are many different pathways to achieve the goal.”

The nurses’ union and other single-payer advocates aren’t satisfied.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported union organizer Alyssa Kang told single-payer advocates on a conference call, “So we want to be absolutely clear: This is a flip-flop from a governor who said . . . ‘I’m tired of politicians saying they support single payer but that it’s too soon, too expensive or someone else’s problem.’ This is absolutely unacceptable, and he cannot be allowed to have it both ways.”

The differences between universal coverage and single-payer are more than semantic.

The former includes a wide variety of public and private health insurance plans, many of which have coverage limits and patient co-pays, while the latter would provide unlimited benefits free of out-of-pocket costs, much like Great Britain’s National Health Service.

Providing universal coverage, as Newsom defines it, is doable by spending a few additional billion dollars in the state budget.

Single-payer, on the other hand, would require the federal government to give the state the $200-plus billion is now spends on Californians’ health care and the state to raise taxes more than $150 billion a year.

The legislation now pending in the Assembly would create a framework but the taxes are contained in a companion constitutional amendment that would require two-thirds votes in the Legislature and voter approval.

With massive opposition from employers and much of the medical industry, chances for complete approval of the package are iffy at best and it doesn’t appear Newsom will lift a finger to help it. He’s clearly content to settle for universal coverage.

Martin Luther King wasn’t just the dreamer of the March on Washington speech. He was a put up or shut up radical reformer who went about the hard work of securing our freedoms with the fierce urgency of now.

Both Manchin and Sinema say voting rights should be bipartisan. I agree. In a perfect world, everything would be bipartisan. But that’s not America 2022. Voting rights have been under partisan attack from the Supreme Court and Republican politicians across the country.

What do Manchin and Sinema have to say about that? Crickets.

Isn’t it strange that Manchin co-sponsored the For the People Act in 2019, even though it had no Republican support then? It’s sad that the same state that was the last to recognize the MLK holiday sports a senator determined to stick it to the legacy of Dr. King on voting rights.

Intransigence from Republicans is no longer shocking. It’s who they are.

But with regard to white moderates, Dr. King said it best: “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” Peace.

The two sides even shut down the government for nearly a month over this dispute. The public sided with Clinton, with Democrats regaining their partisan advantage and the president’s job approval ratings rising to as high as 60% as he swept to an easy re-election.

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan similarly pushed for draconian cuts after his party took power in 2011. Gingrich, having learned his lesson, argued against this, but Ryan persisted. His selection as Mitt Romney’s vice presidential nominee in 2012 allowed Obama to tar the entire party with his proposals.

The result: Obama cruised to victory, and the GOP even lost seats in the Senate when they had expected to regain control.

The message is crystal clear: If Republicans want to become the majority party, they have to stop crusading against the entitlement state that helps so many Americans live with dignity and security. This is particularly true as the party’s demographic base shifts even more heavily toward working-class voters who rely more on these programs in their retirement than do the wealthier classes that used to be the GOP’s bedrock.

If Republicans really want to be a multiethnic, multiracial, workingclass party, they need to recognize and embrace the crucial role that entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security play in those voters’ lives.

Biden’s ultra-liberal ineptitude is giving Republicans another chance to prove they understand the real American dream. If they finally listen to what voters are telling them, 2022 and 2024 could bring about the most decisive realignment since the Great Depression.

Musgraves happy to take sad divorce record on the road

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, January 19, 2022 B5

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency On top of all the renewed worry about Covid, Kacey Musgraves faces what seems like another daunting hurdle heading into her tour this week: singing the ultra-personal, heartbreak-filled songs off her latest album night after night.

Like a Texan caught in a squall, though, the Grammywinning country-turned-pop singer is shrugging off the latter concern – and a lot of other headline-making news related to her 2021 record “Star-Crossed.”

“I’m in a happy place now,” she said firmly. “I’m comfortable sharing the pain, and showing I got through it.”

“Comfort” was the word du jour as the East Texas native talked by phone two weeks ago on a day when snow pelted her Nashville, Tennessee, home – a scene she relished.

“I’ll be ready for you,” she quipped to the journalist in Minnesota, which somehow wound up being the spot she chose to launch her tour in mid-January.

Musgraves, 33, returns Wednesday to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, the same venue where she had her breakthrough gig in the Twin Cities, opening for Harry Styles in 2018 just as her album “Golden Hour” arrived. (“It was such a good feeling being embraced by Harry’s fans,” she remembered.)

Loaded with the clever wordplay, small-town agitation and self-deprecating humor that permeated her two previous albums – 2013’s “Follow Your Arrow” ranks among the top five country radio hits of the past decade – “Golden Hour” traded Musgraves’ rootsier country sound for synth-tinged dancepop and up-tempo, Southern California-breezy twang-pop.

The musical change-up worked like a charm. “Golden Hour” got picked up by pop and adult-contemporary radio stations on its way to being named the Grammys’ album of the year in 2019.

“I don’t like to feel I have to serve any one particular entity or person’s taste when I go in to make a song,” Musgraves said of her sonic progression. “If it feels good to me, I go with it, and hopefully I’m not the only one who likes it.”

She followed that gut instinct in making “Star-Crossed.”

Released in September, the 15-song collection was written and recorded with the same Nashville collaborators as “Golden Hour.” The big difference this time around was the emotional tone of the songs.

“Star-Crossed” follows Musgraves’ divorce from singer/ songwriter Ruston Kelly after two-and-a-half years of marriage. “It simply didn’t work,” the musical couple said in a joint statement, adding that

Kacey Musgraves performs at the Intersect Festival in Las Vegas, Dec. 6, 2019. they were “put into each other’s lives for a divine reason” and “have both changed infinitely for the better.”

Many of the songs on the album follow a similar no-lovelost, lessons-learned attitude.

From the balladic, Spanish-guitar-infused title track, which opens the LP, to the slowrambling single “Justified,” Musgraves more often sings about her own guilt and mixed emotions than those of her ex.

“Moving onwards, feeling strong, but healing doesn’t happen in a straight line,” she sings in “Justified.”

Musgraves said the “moving onwards” line will be at the core of her upcoming performances – which, she pledged, “will be uplifting.”

“I really believe that this chapter of my life deserves a platform, and it’s something a lot of listeners will connect to,” she said.

“I’m leading with the fact that healing is not linear, and you need to learn to depend on yourself, learn to depend on your friends. There was a lot of exploring myself spiritually, and getting a lot closer to whatever God is throughout this process.”

She promised to drop in a lot of the “Golden Hour” songs “to lighten things up,” but she also emphasized that the new songs aren’t entirely filled with heartache.

“There’s a lot of love on the album, too,” she said. “It is a divorce record, but there’s a lot of love and admiration and reflection on the experience I had with this person. Just because it didn’t last forever, it doesn’t take away the beauty that it did have at one point.”

Time to ‘de-stress’ While she believes everyone in the crowd can relate to the messages – “especially after what we’ve all been through the past couple years,” she said – Musgraves singled out “Good Wife” as one song that’s

“definitely been more a favorite among women.”

Lyrics include: “God, help me be a good wife ‘cause he needs me/ Even when he’s not right he still needs me.”

“That song was sort of a funny little prayer,” she explained, “a little nod to myself being newly married and in over my head and not really knowing the way to support somebody unconditionally.

It’s hard.”

Upon releasing “StarCrossed,” Musgraves found her support in the country music industry to be far from unconditional. The album got scant attention from country radio and was even deemed ineligible in the country categories of the (currently postponed) Grammy Awards – never mind that “Golden Hour” was just as un-twangy and won those same categories in 2019.

You could chalk up these perceived snubs to sexism, given “Star-Crossed’s” more feminist tone (“I really couldn’t say if that’s the case,” is all Musgraves said), but she isn’t sweating them.

“I already have six Grammys, so I can’t really complain,” she said. “It gets dicey in this day and age when you’re trying to break down and dissect what kind of music an album is. Some of my favorite artists are kind of genreless.

“Really, what matters most to me at the end of the day is that I wrote songs that feel authentic to me, whatever category they get put in.”

After already waiting four months to perform these songs on tour, Musgraves said she didn’t want to delay any longer, even with the rise of Covid’s omicron variant.

“We have the vaccines, booster shots and masks to protect ourselves, and I think people know by now what they’re comfortable with,” she said.

“I think we can all use a night out to de-stress a little,” she added.

North wasn’t enthusiastic about his two-spade raise, but he had 7 points and a doubleton. South wondered about three no-trump but did not expect to have nine runners (immediate winners), and if he had to lose the lead while establishing tricks, he would have the “Roadhouse Blues.” So he settled into four spades.

With a loser in each red suit, South needed to find trumps 3-2. However, how was he going to ruff his third heart without risking a trump promotion if East had a doubleton in both majors?

The original declarer won the first trick and returned a heart. West played a third heart, East overruffing the dummy. Then East put West in with the diamond ace and ruffed the next heart, effecting an uppercut that produced down two. The defenders took one heart, one diamond and three spades.

It’s finally final – Prince’s estate worth $156.4M MINNEAPOLIS — After nearly six years of legal wrangling, parties to Prince’s estate have finally agreed on its value: $156.4 million.

That’s far more than the $82.3 million appraisal by the estate’s administrator, Comerica Bank & Trust, but not much less than the tax collector’s assessment.

The Internal Revenue Service in 2020 had valued the estate at $163.2 million.

PRINCE With an agreement between Comerica and the IRS – with the OK from Prince’s heirs – the process of distributing the star musician’s wealth could begin in February.

“It has been a long six years,” L. Londell McMillan, an attorney for three of Prince’s siblings said at a hearing Friday in Carver County District Court.

Prince died of a fentanyl overdose in April 2016. He did not have a will.

Since then, a phalanx of lawyers and consultants have been paid tens of millions of dollars to administer his estate and come up with a plan for its distribution. Two of Prince’s six sibling heirs, Alfred Jackson and John R. Nelson, have since died. Two others are in their 80s.

In the end, the estate will be almost evenly divided between a wellfunded New York music company – Primary Wave – and the three oldest of the music icon’s six heirs or their families.

The IRS and Comerica settled last spring on the real-estate portion of Prince’s estate. But the trickier task of valuing intangible assets such as rights to Prince’s music was not completed until October.

The value of that settlement – $156.4 million – was disclosed Friday in a filing in Carver County probate court.

As part of the agreement, the IRS dropped a $6.4 million “accuracyrelated penalty” it had levied on Prince’s estate.

The Minnesota Depart-

ment of Revenue, which agreed on the estate’s valuation, also has jettisoned an accuracy penalty, the filing said.

Tax collectors will take a bite out of Prince’s fortune that will run into the tens of millions of dollars.

A bit more than $5 million of Prince’s estate will be exempted from taxes under federal law, but thereafter the tax rate is 40%. In Minnesota, the first $3 million is tax-exempt; after that, much of Prince’s estate will likely be taxed at 16 %.

In mid-2020, Comerica sued the IRS in U.S. Tax Court, saying the agency’s calculations of the estate’s value were riddled with errors. A tax trial set for March in St. Paul has been canceled because of the settlement.

Comerica, in a court filing Friday, said that while the IRS settlement was “fair and reasonable,” it believes it would have “prevailed” in the tax court case. Comerica said it told Prince’s heirs that if lowering estate taxes was their “primary interest” they should continue pressing the IRS and – if need be – go to trial.

“Instead, the members of the heir group have uniformly communicated to [Comerica] their strong desire that the estate settle with the taxing authorities,” the filing said.

Primary Wave bought out all or most of the interests of Prince’s three youngest siblings, including Jackson, who died in August 2019. Three older siblings – including John Nelson, who died in September – rejected offers from Primary Wave.

The three older siblings last year transferred an undisclosed portion of their stake to McMillan and Charles Spicer, who have represented them in estate proceedings. McMillan is a veteran New York entertainment lawyer who worked with Prince for several years; Spicer is a New York musician and producer.

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 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 833-561-0243 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000008554206. 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 833-561-0243, or visit this internet website WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM using the file number assigned to this case 00000008554206 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.

On March 9, 2022 at 09:30 AM, at Santa Clara Street entrance to the City Hall, 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on June 24, 2015 as Instrument No. 201500056239, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Solano County, California, executed by MARIE REUTER, AN UMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for REVERSE MORTGAGE FUNDING LLC. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1078 SPARROW LANE, 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 made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trusteeʼs Sale is estimated to be $233,814.98 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiaryʼs bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashierʼs 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 California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trusteeʼs Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidderʼs sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 In Source Logic at 702659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000507-21-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER 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 702-659-7766, or visit this internet website www.insourcelogic.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000507-21-1 to find the date on which the trusteeʼs 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 trusteeʼs sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trusteeʼs 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.
