VACAVILLE — Celebrating African American changemakers was at the center of the Black History Celebration hosted Saturday by the Tri-City NAACP. The theme was “Amplify Our Voices.” Plenty of speakers did just that for the second annual event at Andrews Park.

Johnicon George, president of the Tri-City Branch of the NAACP, said he wanted to accomplish several things with this event.

“We are intentional about sowing into our youth and young adults,” he said. “We are adamant about preserving the 15th Amendment.”

George said he was also eager to restore the economic development of Black businesses in Solano County. He said Black businesses were left behind during the pandemic.

(Susan Hiland/ Daily Republic)[/caption] George said he feels it is important to listen to the community’s youth and hear them from where they are coming from, otherwise they feel unheard and they will lose generations of youth.

“They need the wisdom of their elders and we need the energy of their youth,” George said.

This year was a little bigger than last year’s event, with about 100 people coming out to Andrews Park. The event also included 14 vendors.

Planning began back in January.

It took some time to choose the students to be honored during the celebration of youth.

“It was difficult because there were so many worthy students,” said the Tri-City NAACP planning chairwoman and economic devel-

opment chairwoman Nikila Gibson.

“They were chosen because they are making an impact in schools for their fellow students and making a difference in the community.”

Jayde Champion, a student from Will C. Wood High School, was the keynote speaker.

“Being a changemaker can mean many things,” she said.

“It might mean marching in the streets, or mean sticking up for those who may not be able to stick up for themselves.”

She noted that everyone came from different backgrounds but there is something in common with everyone: the desire to see change happen.

Champion was honored as a changemaker because of her passion and dedication to making changes through her community and school activities.

“Continue to be unapologetically you,” she said.

‘Candy Bomber,’ no stranger to Travis, dies at 101 Glen Faison

GFAISON@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Retired Col. Gail Halvorsen, known as the Cold War-era Berlin “Candy Bomber,” died Wednesday in Provo, Utah, after a brief illness.

He was 101.

Halvorsen, who in recent years visited airmen at Travis Air Force Base, started his career in 1942 in the U.S. Army Air Corps.

He served as a pilot until his retirement in 1974, accumulating more than 8,000 flying hours during 31 years of military service.

“Colonel Halvorsen was an American hero,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown Jr. said Thursday. “He made such a positive impact on this world and will be remembered for his kindness and bringing joy to those who desperately needed it. His selfless dedication and willingness to help those in need embody the core values of the Air

Force, and his legacy will live on in the ethos and values of the greatest air force in the world.”

Halvorsen secured his place in history for his selfless acts during the Berlin Airlift in 1948 and 1949. Halvorsen, a first lieutenant at the time, took it upon himself to help boost the morale of the children in West Berlin by

attaching handkerchief parachutes to chocolate bars and dropping them from his aircraft to the children below.

He would also rock the wings of his aircraft as he came in to notify the children of which plane was carrying the chocolate.

The German children began calling him “Uncle Wiggly Wings.”

Soon, Halvorsen’s idea was expanded into “Operation Little Vittles,” which garnered public support and donations. By the end of the airlift, 25 plane crews had dropped more than 20 tons of chocolate, chewing gum and other candies over Berlin.

Halvorsen’s efforts stand as a symbol of the influence one small gesture can have on people and made him a legend in both the airlift community and among Berlin residents alike.

His “deeply human act has never been forgotten,” Berlin’s mayor, Franziska Giffey, said in a prepared statement reported Thursday by The Associated Press.

Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah – Halvorsen was born in Salt Lake City and made his home in Utah after retiring from the Air Force – praised Halvorsen as well.

MOSCOW — The manufactured war scare mounted by Moscow-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine – using potentially 700,000 people as props – unraveled quickly.

Its centerpiece was a staged mass evacuation of women, children and elderly residents of breakaway regions, touching off long lines at ATMs and gas stations on Friday. Russian state TV went all out on the fake war, airing film of buses leaving, arrests of alleged spies and grainy video of “saboteurs,” playing off President Vladimir Putin’s claim on Tuesday that “genocide” was unfolding.

So far, however, the false-flag effort appeared neither particularly sophisticated – nor very convincing. Residents of the separatist republics were as skeptical as anyone about the claims that Ukrainian forces were ready to attack and try to reclaim the territory in the eight-year war with Russianbacked separatist fighters.

“Everything is fine,” said one woman from the Donetsk separatist region, which calls itself the Donetsk People’s Republic, who crossed via a checkpoint into Russia on Saturday. “There were not many people at the checkpoint,” said the woman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid possible repercussions from separatist officials.

The evacuation story – and separatists’ claims that Ukraine was planning to attack - sparked fears that Russia will use this as a pretext to invade Ukraine. Ukrainian officials deny staging attacks or having any plans to do so. Instead, they report that separatist forces have stepped up shelling into See Crisis, Page A10

Jeffrey Epstein associate Jean-Luc Brunel, onetime Miami modeling agent, found dead Tribune Content Agency Jeffrey Epstein’s former business partner and alleged accomplice in trafficking and sexually abusing girls, Jean-Luc Brunel, was found dead Saturday in his French jail cell, according to French authorities.

Brunel’s death eerily resembles Epstein’s death by hanging in a New York prison cell in August 2019 that was ruled a suicide. Brunel, 76, had been arrested in December 2020 and was under investigation on rape and sex trafficking charges.

“It almost seems like the entire ring of people who were doing this that their conscience is getting the better of them now that they are being held accountable for their actions,” said Spencer Kuvin, an attorney who has represented several of Epstein’s victims. “Of course, the alternative conspiracy theory is that it’s like someone is trying to clean up shop.”

Prosecutors in Paris confirmed Brunel was found hanging in his cell in La Sante, in the south Paris, in the early hours of Saturday morning.

“I can confirm that Mr. Brunel was discovered at 1:30 a.m. last night dead in his cell. He was alone in the cell. According to the first findings, it is a suicide by hanging. An investigation in search of the causes of death is however opened,” said Antoine Pesme, a spokesperson for the Paris public prosecutor’s office.

British and French media reported that no See Brunel, Page A10

I barely got it out, because I was starting to giggle, thinking of the awkward situation of a doctor walking in for a consultation and the patient sitting there, buck naked except for a paper robe.

“Yes. That happens sometimes. A lot of times in the summer, because it’s warm.”

Then she left.

What?

What?

I laughed at the idea of someone mistakenly taking off too many clothes. I envisioned someone naked except for a paper robe while an uncomfortable doctor looks in their ears or checks out a spot on their arm.

Maybe someone with no pants on as the doctor simply asks them questions about their eyesight.

But she gave a different answer: She said that people took off their clothes a lot in the summer. Because it was hot.

Did she mean that some people go to the doctor’s office and disrobe because they get overheated? That some patients would prefer to sit on an uncomfortable bench in a stranger’s office while wearing a paper robe that keeps opening . . . because it’s hot?

That can’t be true, right? I mean, I get that people misunderstand directions – after all, had I not asked for clarification, I might have disrobed for an appointment where my doctor just had to check out my torso (I envision her walking in and

saying, “What do you think you’re doing, you freak?” while I tried to keep the paper robe closed and wondered the same thing).

But do some people enjoy disrobing at the doctor’s office?

To wear that dreadful paper robe?

That can’t be true. I’m going to presume the physician’s assistant didn’t understand my question, although I’m not sure how that would happen.

People don’t needlessly get undressed at the doctor’s office to cool off, do they?

I may never again go to the doctor during the summer months. Who knows what happened in the room before I got there?

Then there are the visitors who deliberately throw things into a habitat.

Signs that say “Do Not Feed the Animals” don’t only refer to food as we know it. Animals are “indiscriminate feeders” and don’t know the difference between food and a hazard.

Myers said that most people don’t “do it to cause malice,” but animals could suffer if they eat something other than the food provided to them.

Meanwhile, the common “Do Not Feed” signs will soon be enhanced with digital boards.

“I am so disappointed that people are not reading these signs,” Magill said.

Dixon Gun Show off to sound Vallejo sees 5th start, continues at fairgrounds shooting death this month

Susan Hiland

SHILAND@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

DIXON — Kyle Chabot, owner of Crownpoint Customs LLC, a custom design knife business, came out Saturday to the Dixon Gun Show to sell his ware for the first time.

“I have worked as a machinist for Chevron for years. I took what I learned in my career and started applying that to making these,” he said, pointing to his creations.

The pandemic has changed many things for people and helped some realize hobbies could be more than just fun but also a way to happy profits.

“I think a lot of people are finding their purpose,” Chabot said. “Something that I create and sell – I just love it. I think a lot of people are realizing they need to follow what they love.”

Chabot said he plans to continue working for Chevron but still doing different venues on the weekends.

His family came out to help with the booth Saturday, which was right up front at the Dixon Gun Show at the community fairgrounds.

The two-day event is put on by organizers John and Nicole Arabia, who have planned this and similar events this since 2016.

“We have been doing this even through the pandemic,” Nicole Arabia said.

Although the show is a little smaller with 175 tables and fewer vendors, the building at the fairgrounds was still packed with shoppers.

The Arabias expect 3,500 people to come through the Dixon Fairgrounds gates over the weekend. Visitors are asked to wear a mask but if they don't want to, it will not be pushed.

“People need to get out and socially interact,” John Arabia said.

He wanted to make sure anyone visiting this weekend understands they are not walking out

The Dixon Gun Show has 175 tables filling one of the buildings at the Dixon Fairgrounds, Saturday. The show continues Sunday. with a gun in hand because of California laws related to background checks.

“We have a trade dealer which does the paperwork and submits it, then once the background check is down, in about two weeks the gun dealer can ship the gun to you,” he said.

All types of weapons are sold at the gun show, including self-defense items from Damsels in Defense.

Robin Chaloner from Grass Valley has been doing these different events for four years and sells several nonlethal items for defensive purposes.

“I love what I am doing because it is empowering but also I have helped someone in trouble,” she said. “And I know I have because I have gotten phone calls.”

Jolyn Curtola, 79, passed away peacefully on Valentine’s Day with her husband and children at her side, finding peace after 25 years of major back problems. She was born in Vallejo to Helen Sousa and Linzie Kramer on April 2, 1942.

Jolyn graduated from St. Vincent’s Ferrer High School in 1959 and attended San Jose State University. She met her husband, Terry Curtola, as a freshman in high school and they dated for nine years before getting married on April 18, 1964.

They would have been married 58 years this April 18th.

During Jolyn’s time in San Jose she was a buyer for Jay Vee Women’s Apparel, a nationally known chain.

After she and Terry were married, she worked for Babbitt Photography in downtown Vallejo and then in the office at Terry’s Restaurants.

She was very active in charities, including the Lilac Branch of the Children’s Hospital and local groups such as the Vallejo Campfire Girls and the St. Vincent’s High School and the St. Patrick’s High School parent groups while her children were in school.

Jolyn was known to her friends as a gourmet cook and pastry chef. She created wonderful desserts for City Lights Restaurant in Vallejo and was solicited to do pastries at the Blue Fox Restaurant in San Francisco.

Jolyn was known for her class and style while serving as the First Lady of Vallejo from 1978-1987.

She represented Vallejo in Akashi, Japan, and La Spezia, Italy, on behalf of the Sister City Commission and maintained friendships there until her death.

As her children grew, she was able to travel with her husband and her beloved friends in The Vista Bridge Group. They visited Cabo San Lucas, Maui, the big island of Hawaii, Malaga, Spain and Zihuatanejo, Mexico. She also traveled to Washington, D.C., attending the inauguration of Ronald Reagan. She visited Prague, with her mother, Helen, and brother and sister-inlaw, Linzie and Rhonda, as well as a trip to Italy for her niece’s wedding, where she

met the Pope.

Her favorite summers were spent enjoying the family cabin in Pine Grove, Lake County, surrounded by people she loved.

She adored loving her grandkids and great-grands, which gave her the joy she needed these past few years, as they all visited her constantly and exchanged wonderful memories. All 12 of them loved their Nana with all their hearts.

She is survived by her husband, Terry; children, Cori (Jeff) Gormley, Trey (Keri) Curtola, Kim Curtola and Chris (Leslee) Curtola; along with her beloved exson-in-law, John Matson; grandchildren, Aaron Walmsley, Jordan (Adrianne) Walmsley, C.J.

The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Tam. Nurturing her vegetable and flower gardens gave her great pleasure. She loved a quiet evening with friends and family, cooking

her favorite recipes.

She always had her constant companions, Baron, Fame or Hera, at her side.

During school breaks, Tam traveled throughout the world with her family, stepping foot on the Great Wall of China with her sister, sitting in the Roman Coliseum with her grandson and sailing the Hawaiian Islands with her daughters. She had a curiosity for genealogy, tracing her family back to Scotland and culminating in a tour of that country. Her pleasant personality was contagious with everyone she met.

Tam is survived by her daughters, Diane, Carole and Cynthia; grandchildren, Jennifer, Alisha, Derek, Michelle, Tamara, Jamie and Jake; great-grandchildren, Charlize, Sean, Harper, Eva, Macklynn and Torin.

Memorial service will be held at noon on Saturday, Feb. 26, 2022, at Santa Rosa Memorial Park, 1900 Franklin Ave., Santa Rosa, California.

Aguiar-Curry forwards bill to expand cancer vaccination coverage Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

WINTERS — Assemblywoman Cecilia AguiarCurry, D-Winters, introduced legislation to require that all health insurance programs cover the costs of the cancer-preventing vaccination for human papillomavirus, or HPV. Approximately 13 million Americans become infected with HPV each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

While some HPV infections will go away on their own, infections that don’t go away can cause certain types of cancer. HPV is a leading cause of cervical cancer, which is one of the most preventable cancers, according to a press release from Aguiar-Cur- AGUIAR-CURRY ry’s office.

There is no cure for HPV, according to the release, but a vaccine exists to protect against infection from the start. HPV infections and cervical pre-cancers have dropped significantly since the vaccination has been in use. The CDC says as many as 93% of cervical cancers could be avoided simply by screening and receiving the HPV vaccine, according to the press release.

Assembly Bill 2516 would require that all of the state’s public and private health insurance programs include the full cost of the HPV vaccine within its covered health services.

As a common, but preventable, disease, which infects both males and females, every possible precaution must be taken to prevent the spread of HPV, according to the release. The federal government has approved the use of federal funds for this purpose and some state and private coverage is available as well.

“We have a proven cancer-prevention treatment available to Californians,” Aguiar-Curry, D-Winters, said in the release. “If we let another year go by without offering access to critical HPV prevention coverage, more young people will contract HPV, and more young people will get cancer. We’ve been laserfocused on the pandemic crisis in our state, and we should be. But, we have the means to prevent a silent health crisis in the spread of HPV and the cancers that result. Everyone should have access to its prevention.

And if we let cost determine access, shame on us.”

Aguiar-Curry currently represents the 4th Assembly District, which includes all of Lake and Napa counties, parts of Colusa, Solano and Sonoma counties, and all of Yolo County, except West Sacramento.

1 new death, but Solano Covid cases continue steady decline Matt Miller

MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.COM

FAIRFIELD — Covid-19 case numbers continued to show a steady decline Friday, according to the Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, though there was one new death added to the overall pandemic total that is now 394.

“The county is seeing a pattern of gradual reduction,” Matyas said by telephone Friday afternoon. “It’s dropped rapidly over the last month when in the first week of January there was 1,400 reported new cases per day.”

The total case numbers increased 315 Friday to an overall mark of 78,218, though only 187 were from the past two days. There were 128 cases added in the new report from earlier this month.

The death, according to Matyas, was a man over 65, living in the community, who was unvaccinated and had underlying health issues.

The number of people hospitalization due to the disease dropped from 65 Wednesday to 50 Friday. The cases in ICU went up slightly from 14 Wednesday to 16 Friday. Matyas said the 50 cases in hospitals was down significantly from the high of 165 in mid-January.

In brief New pavement striping on Woolner to begin

FAIRFIELD — Public Works crews will be restriping Woolner Avenue beginning Monday between Beck Avenue and Merlot Court.

The re-striping will include a double yellow and white edge striping center. The project comes in response to a study completed by Traffic Engineering staff

Vaccination rates went up slightly from 71.5% of residents 5 and older to 72% for those fully vaccinated. The number of residents to have at least one shot held steady at 81%.

The number of children between 5 and 11 to be vaccinated was 11,885, or 32% of that age group.

“We have essentially plateaued with those who want to be vaccinated,” Matyas said, “but we will continue to provide vaccinations for those who choose to get it.”

The number of residents who have received booster shots is 142,925.

Rio Vista has the highest vaccination rate in Solano County, with 99.1% of eligible residents ages 5 or older having been vaccinated. Next is Benicia (88.1%) followed by Vallejo (88%), Dixon (83.8%), Fairfield (83.3%) and Suisun City (76.9%), Solano Public Health reports.

Vacaville has the county’s lowest vaccination rate at 75.1%.

Vallejo added 111 new cases Friday, the most in the area, taking its pandemic total to 24,515. Fairfield added 105 cases for a new count of 20,699. Vacaville is at 19,096 after 59 new reports, the county said.

The rest of the county had much smaller increases. Suisun City

The pavement changes will visually narrow drivers’ field of view, in turn encouraging drivers to travel at lower speeds.

The operation will move so that no lanes will be closed, but on-street parking will be affected.

Dodd pitches auto liability insurance reform bill Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Sen. Bill Dodd introduced legislation this week to improve liability coverage for California motorists, protecting people injured in crashes as well those who might be exposed to paying higher medical and vehicle repair bills.

“Californians have been underinsured for too long and it is costing them dearly,” Dodd, D-Napa, said in a press release.

“My bill ensures crash victims get the financial support they need while covering those who might be liable for soaring medical and property damage costs. It modernizes our insurance laws, bringing our state in line with what the rest of the country deems the right amount of coverage.”

California set the current mandatory insurance minimums 55 years ago, requiring drivers to carry $15,000 in coverage for a single injury or death, up to $30,000 per accident and only $5,000 for property damage, according to the release. Only four states have the same or lower limits.

Many drivers are under the impression that carrying the current minimum would make them whole after a crash, the release states. The standard is

especially hard on lowincome or fixed-income residents who lack a safety net to cover damages.

Dodd’s legislation, Senate Bill 1107, would update the minimum to $30,000/$60,000/$25,000, bringing it in line with increased costs over the past half-century on everything including vehicle repairs, medical care and emergency services.

Dodd currently represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes all of Solano County and all or parts of Napa, Yolo, Sonoma, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties.

There were 12 new cases in Dixon (4,099). Benicia (2,981) added seven, Rio Vista (1,054) picked up two and the total number

of cases in the unincorporated areas of the county was changed to 188, one less than previously reported.

The seven-day pos-

itivity rate was at 13%, down 2% from Wednesday’s report.

Case totals represent those reported to county and state health agen-

cies, such as results from various testing sites in the community or from local medical offices and pharmacies. They do not include results from test kits people use at home since there’s no requirement for people to report those results to the county or state.

Solano County does not post case updates on weekends and holidays. The next update is scheduled late Wednesday afternoon.

Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only 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. The vast majority of people who contract Covid-19 recover.

STATE

A6 Sunday, February 20, 2022 – DAILY REPUBLIC

A war to halt logging in Northern California reignites. Will it end differently this time?

Los Angeles Times Michael Hunter slammed a mallet onto a hand-held drum, the beats ringing out in rapid succession.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! “The drum is always loud enough it seems like,” he said, “where people rally around the drum.”

Hunter is tribal chairman of the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, and on this sunny Sunday, dozens of people clamored around him in the parking lot of Jug Handle State Natural Reserve.

Across Highway 1, nearly 50,000 acres of stately redwoods rose like a chorus of elders: Jackson Demonstration State Forest, the Pomo people’s ancestral land.

Hunter was kicking off a series of demonstrations here along the Mendocino Coast to protest the redwoods’ destruction from state-sponsored logging and research.

The Jan. 23 gathering was the latest rallying cry in a decades-long war over Jackson’s trees, a battle that has pitted environmental activists against state and timber industry leaders. At the heart of the dispute are differing opinions about the best use of public land and who should steward the precious resource.

Those who oppose logging call it a greedfueled operation that runs contrary to climate goals.

Supporters see it as pragmatic management of a renewable resource.

Now, Native American tribes indigenous to the area have joined the fray, demanding a say in the fate of their ancestral homeland. And state officials are listening.

The renewed debate playing out behind the socalled redwood curtain could deliver the first agreement with Indigenous tribes to co-manage a state demonstration forest, according to officials at the California Natural Resources Agency.

It’s a historic path supported by stakeholders on both sides. But there’s a wrench in the works: State and tribal leaders don’t see eye to eye on important aspects of Jackson’s future. It’s not yet clear how the chasm between their visions will be reconciled.

“Those redwoods are our relatives,” Hunter said. “When they’re cut, it’s painful.”

The timber industry casts a long shadow in Mendocino County.

Though dozens of mills have closed over the decades, trucks still hurtle

Genaro Molina/Los Angeles Times file

Activist Alder rappels up a Redwood tree where tree sitters have been, intermittently, camping out on a platform to protect it from being cut down in the Jackson Demonstration State Forest in Caspar, Jan. 22. down Highway 20 carrying stacks of hulking redwoods, easy to distinguish by their crimson heartwood. Many here know someone in the timber industry, or have worked in it themselves.

Jackson is the largest of the state’s nine demonstration forests, living laboratories for scientific study. It’s managed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention, or Cal Fire, one of 26 departments, conservancies and commissions overseen by the California Natural Resources Agency.

Cal Fire officials create Timber Harvest Plans, commercial logging sites that are put up for sale at several demonstration forests, including Jackson.

A sawmill might purchase a plan, or part of one, and then hire a licensed timber operator to fell the trees.

Kevin Conway, Cal Fire’s state forests program manager, said harvests are an important tool to improve forest health and reduce fire risk.

Among other things,he said, strategically removing trees can promote growth by controlling forest density and reducing competition for light, water and nutrients.

Most years, they also bring in money – nearly $8.5 million annually, a majority from Jackson – which funds operations at the demonstration forests.

But on Jan. 19, Cal Fire announced that there wouldbenoadditionaltimbersales in Jackson during 2022.

Some loggers bemoaned the decision.

Protesters who call themselves “forest defenders” take credit for the stoppage.

About 10 months earlier, the protesters had embarked on a Davidand-Goliath-scale battle to stop commercial logging in the forest. They erected

tree sits, used their bodies to shield redwoods from logging equipment and amplified their cause on social media. Several were arrested. One was hit by a car but managed to walk away.

Those rallying to halt logging at Jackson argue that the threat of climate change is of top importance. Cutting swaths of enormous, carbon-sequestering trees, they say, isn’t conducive to an environmentally sound future.

Logging was halted in some areas amid the protests. It was deemed too dangerous to have people running around as chainsaws whirred and behemoth trees toppled.

It’s not the first time tensions have boiled over.

A series of lawsuits halted logging in the forest from 2001 to 2009. Judi Bari, a legendary environmental activist, led Earth First! campaigns against logging in the region in the 1980s and 1990s.

Myles Anderson, co-owner of a logging company in Fort Bragg, Calif., blames state officials for siding with demonstrators in the latest uprising. He defends logging operations and criticizes the recent tactics used to stop it. Protesters, he said, put themselves and loggers in danger in an effort to stop a legal enterprise.

“No one wakes up in the morning and says, ‘I want to fell a tree and squish someone,’” Anderson said.

“It’s their biggest fear.”

The latest anti-logging movement can seem like watching a rerun of the same old movie. But some see the tribes’ emerging role as a game changer, potentially offering a new ending to an oft-repeated tale.

Linda Perkins, 81, initially resisted getting involved with the recent protests at Jackson. She first took on the timber

industry in the early 1990s as part of Bari’s campaign, known as the Albion Uprising. She’s been around long enough to see all kinds of approaches fail.

“This is different,” she said during a recent demonstration near a logging site off Highway 20, which winds through Jackson Demonstration State Forest. “We’re going to succeed this time.”

Success, Perkins said, is however the Pomo define it.

Amid the protests, the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians stepped up to initiate government-to-government consultations with the state. Then-Gov. Jerry Brown outlined tribes’ right to the high-level talks in policy matters that affect their communities in a 2011 executive order.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has since built on Brown’s order. In September 2020, he issued a policy statement encouraging all state entities “to seek opportunities to support California tribes’ co-management of and access to” state-owned lands within the tribes’ ancestral territory.

Newsom acted, he wrote, “in the spirit of truth and healing in recognition of past harms” done to the tribes.

Tribes, in effect, have access to a seat at the table. “We have leverage,” said Polly Girvin, an advocate for the tribe.

Talks are underway with local tribes to formalize their role in managing Jackson, and agreements could be realized “in months, not years,” said Wade Crowfoot, secretary of the state’s Natural Resources Agency.

Protecting cultural and historic resources is of top importance, but what comanagement would look like in practice is still taking shape.

Genevieve E.B. Thompson, the agency’s assistant secretary for tribal affairs, is “working with sleeves rolled up” to determine what’s important to various tribes, Crowfoot said. It could entail implementing tribal methods of prescribed fire and allowing access for cultural practices such as acorn harvesting.

But the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians is pushing for bigger change.

Girvin said they envision a future for the forest

based on conservation.

Trees wouldn’t be cut.

Studies carried out would be in service of healing the forest. Nothing would be done for profit.

“We don’t put a value on our relatives,” she said.

“We wouldn’t want to put a price value on your mom or something.”

The tribe has experience with forest management.

Priscella Hunter, the tribe’s former chairwoman, heads an intertribal council that manages more than 4,000 acres of land on the North Coast.

Save the Redwoods League recently transferred more than 500 acres along the dramatic Lost Coast to the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council.

Tribal co-management is an emerging concept, and it’s never been implemented in one of California’s demonstration forests.

Matt Simmons, an attorney for the Environmental Protection Information Center, described it as “a sort of a brave new world of possibilities.” The center, based in Arcata, Calif., is part of the coalition pushing to stop logging at Jackson.

Simmons said some agreements have worked better than others. And there’s often pushback from those who don’t want to cede control.

It’s “still in its early phases,” Simmons said, “but it’s really hopeful, and I think, for a lot of people, it’s sort of the moral obligation for these lands.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Column perpetuates the Big Lie For the third time, I must object to the veracity of a “The Right Stuff” column. “Facts of Jan. 6 Capitol march/riot Part 1” published Jan. 24 and “Part 2” published Jan. 31 by Earl Heal contain falsehoods that he continues to claim are the truth.

He continues to claim that the violent Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was not an insurrection, but a riot; which is highly laughable as even Sen. Mitch McConnell publicly declared it a violent insurrection.

Heal says Trump requested 10,000 National Guard troops prior to his rally, fearing violence. No, he didn’t, and Nancy Pelosi does not have the authority to call out the National Guard, a job reserved for the mayor of Washington, D.C. Heal makes allegations about voter irregularities and fraud, even though there were numerous ballot recounts (mostly giving Biden more votes) with no evidence of widespread fraud. Again, these are allegations based entirely on the Big Lie. Heal reminds us that Trump finished his rally by saying “Walk to the Capitol peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Sure, we all heard it – a statement Trump made after riling up and firing up his crowd with the Big Lie. Heal says Trump’s call-out to the crowd was no different than Al Sharpton or the Rev. Martin Luther King demanding civil rights during that period of

history and telling protestors to fight for their rights. The difference is, those men did not rile people up to violence – and Dr. King stood for nonviolent protest. So yes, there’s a big difference.

Heal said that a MAGA hatwearing BLM member exhorted the crowd to violence. There is no record online of either BLM or antifa being involved. Heal is also wrong about Trump not watching the insurrection on TV. Many sources stated that he did indeed watch, and Trump’s own former press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, reported that not only did he watch it in a dining room, but “gleefully” rewound the recording to watch and praise his supporters.

There are more facts to follow...

School district Stop Asian Hate policy As a student in the FairfieldSuisun School District, I would like to ask the district to make a strong commitment to ensuring Asian-American students, teachers and staff are protected from anti-Asian hate by introducing a Stop Asian Hate board policy.

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, anti-Asian hate has skyrocketed with anti-Asian violence and rhetoric becoming increasingly prevalent in our society. Recently, NBC News reported on this, saying, “The compilation of hate crime data . . . revealed that anti-Asian

hate crimes increased by 339% last year compared to the year before.” Think about what that figure means.

Over the past year, antiAsian hate crimes increased by 339%, a truly horrifying and saddening number. We have seen distressing and appalling news stories where anti-Asian hate has become more prevalent.

In New York City, a young woman named Michelle Go was brutally and fatally pushed in front of an oncoming subway train. In San Francisco, an 84-year-old man named Vichi Ratanapakdee was violently killed in a truly senseless attack.

In Stevens Points, a rural town in Wisconsin, a 57-year-old man harassed, threatened and bullied Asian-American community members who were simply buying groceries. These examples are just a very small sample of the level of anti-Asian hate crimes that have dramatically risen since the start of Covid-19.

In response to this heartbreaking crisis, I would like to ask the Fairfield-Suisun School District to introduce a Stop Asian Hate board policy that specifically addresses the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, violence and rhetoric. School should be a safe haven where students can learn without fear of harassment.

The Fairfield-Suisun School District needs to adopt this board policy to ensure that AsianAmerican students, teachers and staff feel safe and welcomed while learning, engaging and interacting with the district.

The Sacramento Bee reported, “In Nevada County, a group of activists allege that officials have overstepped their authority when it comes to Covid-19 contact tracing, lockdowns and other public health measures that ‘violated religious freedoms and individual liberty.’

They’re seeking to recall the fivemember board for committing ‘crimes against humanity’.”

According to the Bee, recall proponents see county supervisors as “part of a corrupt system under Dr. Anthony Fauci that is forcing a dangerous and untested vaccine on the masses, refusing to treat patients with ivermectin, and stripping them of their liberties by monitoring them for contact tracing.”

Not surprisingly, the wavelet of recalls has generated suggestions in the state Legislature for changing the process, some to make it more difficult to qualify a recall for the ballot, others that would effectively negate the recall of a governor.

Perhaps the recall is being overly used or even misused at the moment, but it remains a valuable check on arrogant officeholders. Changing it could have unanticipated and negative consequences, so we shouldn’t be too eager to make radical reforms.

FOR YOUR HEALTH

by Holiday Mathis

Today’s birthday Worries will disappear. You’ll be heartened by the mounting evidence of your life’s progress. New friends, exciting plans and interesting twists come in the next 10 weeks. Maintain high energy with solid self-care; you’ll need to be at your best to keep up with your good fortune. An investment will bring a prime return. Cancer and Scorpio adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 48, 20, 13 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Social confidence is not based on the belief that people like you; it is based on the belief that (you like you. Your approval rating matters less and less as you enter your flow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Everyone needs you at once. However, when and if you respond to people is entirely up to you. You haven’t always felt like it’s your right to go at your own pace, but their urgency doesn’t have to be yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is someone you know well who is no longer taking in your full glory. When someone else notices your wonderful qualities, it will shake things up. Suddenly, you will get all the attention you deserve.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Work that you are suited for allows you to thrive. It’s important to remember, however, that the perfect work for you is not necessarily what’s needed and wanted in the moment. Be flexible and open-minded.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You strive to have a stress-free day and will largely succeed in doing so. However, some stress is good for you. Too much tranquility will lead to stagnation and boredom.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a big assignment coming up. If you have enough time to do it right, you will be satisfied with the endeavor. But if not, you can negotiate to make it so.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will work on several aspects of a project at once. At first, it won’t seem like you’re accomplishing much. Work this dispersed is difficult to track. As you build, however, something impressive will emerge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even those with no idea how to help will be full of advice. It would be laughable if you weren’t so polite. Be discerning. Find out who the real experts are and make an appointment with a true authority.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Sunshine, exercise, sleep, laughter, wholesome food – all these contribute to good moods. In an attempt to cheer someone up, you’ll lift not only them but also three other people, one of whom is you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Make sure you have a backup system in place. Besides being an excellent practice, it will give you an idea of how much you’ve accomplished over time, and the value of your work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s usually easy for you to read people, even total strangers. But today people will surprise you. Don’t make assumptions. Instead, ask questions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Having a strong sense of style isn’t just about good taste or bad taste; it’s more about specific choices and intentions that are repeated in an identifiable pattern.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Supernova Rihanna mixed musical influences to produce a style all her own. The soulful Pisces became the bestselling digital artist of all time and an eight-time Grammy Award winner.

These days, her beauty and clothing lines share the center stage. Aries moon indicates a passionate and headstrong nature. Natal Mars in Sagittarius signals universal appeal.

Diet plans that top the charts

Eating more vegetables is a component of the top diets: the Mediterranean, the DASH and the Flexitarian.

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY REPUBLIC

id you have a resolution to eat healthier but haven’t really started?

It’s never too late to start eating healthier, according to Melinda Scholten, registered dietitian for NorthBay Healthcare, and there are some highly recommended diets that will help guide the way. In fact, three rise to the top of many dietitians’ lists: the Mediterranean, the DASH and the Flexitarian diets.

Scholten and the Nutrition Services team at NorthBay are in agreement with a panel of dietitians, nutrition consultants and physicians who placed those three diets at the top of a recent U.S. News & World Report poll.

The Mediterranean diet puts an emphasis on eating whole grains, fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, olive oil, and some lean meat and fish. It was No. 1 in the magazine’s poll.

“What we like best about the Mediterranean diet is that it is easier to follow, includes a lot of flavor and is a pattern of eating that can be sustained long-term. It emphasizes what to choose, not what to take away,” Scholten noted, “and while followers of the Mediterranean diet may lose weight, the main benefit of it are the health benefits it offers, particularly for improvements in cardiovascular health.”

The second-place DASH diet is a plan designed to lower blood pressure by consuming more vegetables, fruits and low-fat dairy along with whole grains, lean meats and nuts, seeds and legumes. It also follows sodium guidelines that will help reduce hypertension.

“I love the fact that a pattern of eating can lower blood pressure, and it confirms the thought of ‘food as medicine,’ ” Scholten said. “DASH helps people fill in nutritional holes, such as vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants, and when that happens bodies can function at a higher level.”

In the U.S. News & World Report poll, the DASH diet tied with the Flexitarian diet, another plantbased eating plan that’s often called “semi-vegetarian.”

The Flexitarian Diet came from a book written in 2010 by registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner, Scholten explained.

“It emphasizes plant-strong eating with the flexibility to include from nine to 28 ounces of meat or fish per week.

People may find it easier to implement for families with a variety of eating styles, and it may also have benefits for the environment.”

Whatever plan you choose to follow, know this for sure: Any increased focus on plant-based foods is one of the best things you can do for your health, and a number of studies support this, according to U.S. News & World Report.

One study, published in August 2019 in the Journal of the American Heart Association, concluded that people who closely adhered to plantbased diets had up to a 25% lower risk of dying from any cause compared with those who didn’t follow the eating pattern. The Journal of Geriatric Cardiology noted that eating a plant-based diet is associated with a lower risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute funded three studies examining the health benefits of DASH, and found it can lower blood pressure and LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol levels, as well as help people lose weight, when compared with diets such as the Standard American Diet, which is known to be high in salt, added sugar and saturated fat.

As for the Flexitarian diet, in a review of 25 studies, the eating style was shown to help with weight loss, improve blood pressure and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a study published online in January 2017 in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition.

The bottom line?

“Nutrition is a work in progress,” Scholten notes, “and every day we get a new shot at nourishing our bodies to the best of our abilities.”

Sally Wyatt is public relations coordinator for NorthBay Healthcare, a Partner of Solano Public Health.

From Page One somewhere,” Cox said, as reported Thursday by the AP. “As I look back at Operation Little Vittles and the years that have followed, there is one human characteristic above all others that gave it birth – the silent gratitude of the children at a barbed wire fence in Berlin, July 1948,” Halvorsen wrote in his autobiography.

The Berlin Airlift is arguably the mission that put U.S. heavy aircraft on the map. It was the first major victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War, and it was a tremendous success for the then-new U.S. Air Force.

Travis Air Force crews played a key role in the operation: The base’s airlift squadrons were pulled from Travis and stationed in West Germany to support the Berlin Airlift.

The 11-month campaign started in 1948 in response to the Soviet blockade of land routes into West Berlin, allowing the United States and allies to airlift food, water, and medicine to the residents there. Only a few narrow air corridors were left open to allow for air travel.

Halvorsen told people at Travis during a visit in late 2009 he wasn’t sure how he felt about helping people the U.S. had defeated three years earlier to bring World War II to an end in Europe. But when the German porters came up into the plane to thank Halvorsen and shake his hand in heartfelt gratitude for flying in food they needed to survive, “from that day we were on the same page.”

“The Berlin Airlift showed that a friend can be made from an enemy,” Halvorsen told those who had gathered at what was then called the Travis Air Museum (now the Travis Heritage Center) on Dec. 10, 2009, to dedicate a permanent exhibit to honor the Berlin Airlift.

Halvorsen was was 89 when he served as the keynote speaker at the event where representatives of the Federal Republic of Germany and the city of Berlin presented the museum with the exhibit.

The Travis museum was one of the first locations in October 2008 to host the exhibit on its 29-city tour of the United States to honor those who took part in the massive airlift that saved Berlin from the Russians 60 years earlier.

“We were looking for a proper place where it could be permanently displayed,” Heinz-Gerd Reese, who represented the mayor of Berlin and was at the time the head of the Berlin Airlift Gratitude Foundation, said during the dedication ceremony.

Travis was picked because of the museum and because the 60th Air Mobility Wing’s predecessor had provided some of the planes and aircrews for the airlift.

Halvorsen was there to cut a ribbon to open the display.

“It is an excellent way to show the friendship between our two countries,” the museum director at the time, Terry Juran, said.

“Service breaks down the wall between people,” Halvorsen said during the dedication ceremony.

“When you help somebody else, you get something back, that’s your reward.”

“This museum and exhibit remind us of the cost of freedom for us and our friends,” he said.

Increasing Soviet pressure to force the western Allies out of Berlin culminated in the decision in June 1948 to blockade the city and starve them out. “(Soviet leader Joseph) Stalin wanted West Germany and West Berlin was in the way,” Halvorsen said during the dedication of the permanent exhibit at Travis.

Stalin underestimated the western Allies’ ability to supply by air alone a city of 2 million people through one of the worst winters in recent times. The western Allies responded to the blockade with an around-the-clock airlift of food and supplies that lasted until September 1949, well after the Soviets threw in the towel and ended their blockade in May 1949.

The Candy Bomber legend was born when Halvorsen walked to the fence around the airfield in Berlin where he landed and spotted German children playing in the rubble. Halvorsen handed them two sticks of gum, which they split into several small pieces to share.

He then promised the children he would be back with more candy when he next flew to Berlin.

“That small decision changed my life,” Halvorsen said during his visit to dedicate the permanent display at Travis.

When the children asked how they would recognize him among the large number of aircraft, Halvorsen said he would waggle his plane’s wings.

Before his next flight, Halvorsen tied small bags of candy to parachutes he made out of handkerchiefs and tossed them out of his plane to the waiting children below.

The idea caught the attention of not only other pilots, but of the rest of the Air Force which started what was called Operation Little Vittles and became part of the overarching Berlin Airlift.

Approximately 2.3 million tons of humanitarian supplies was flown into the besieged city during the Berlin Airlift, according to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. More than 21 tons of candy was dropped through Operation Little Vittles. Some 65 U.S., British and German pilots, crew members and civilian workers, including 31 Americans, died during airlift operations, according to the Travis Air Force Base Aviation Museum Foundation.

“They will never forget what you have done,” Reese, the representative of Berlin’s mayor at the time, said of Halvorsen during the

dedication ceremony in December 2009 for the permanent Berlin Airlift display at the Travis Heritage Center.

Halvorsen’s desire to help others extended well beyond his time in uniform. He asked in 1994 to assist in the delivery of food to refugees fleeing from the conflict in Bosnia.

“We have our freedom to choose, and when the freedom is taken away, air power is the only quick way to answer a crisis like that,” he recalled during an interview with Airman Magazine.

Halvorsen visited the Fairfield base periodically over the final 20 years of his life.

He received an American flag in recognition of his achievements during a Tattoo ceremony in 2004 at Travis before returning to the base for the dedication of the Berlin Airlift display in 2009.

A Tattoo ceremony is a 300-year tradition that takes place worldwide to showcase the excellence and readiness of service members.

Airmen during the ceremony exhibit the precision and teamwork necessary for mission success.

Halvorsen last visited Travis on Jan. 31, 2020, when, at 99, he shared his life story with the airmen and families around the base.

He visited the 821st Contingency Response Squadron during that visit and spoke about the importance of being a part of the airlift team and told airmen there was no greater service than to save the lives of others.

Halvorsen was greeted by an outburst of applause from the crowd as soon as he walked into the room.

“Well, it is good to see you all,” he said with a smile on his face.

“I’ve never had a handclap like that before.”

Halvorsen was inducted that day into the squadron’s “SuperHowl” hall of fame.

The Super-Howl was initiated by the squadron as a way to recognize military veterans who visit their unit and have played an important role in the nation’s history. The squadron displays this honor on a plaque at the unit where they add the name of the inductee next to the operation in which he or she served.

Halvorsen said that day he was thrilled to be at Travis Air Force Base and shared his feelings about his time in uniform.

“I’m honored to be part of the Air Force,” he said Jan. 31, 2020.

“I’m not retired yet.”

Halvorsen’s legacy lives on in part through the Col. Gail Halvorsen Award, which is sponsored by the Airlift/Tanker Association and recognizes an airman from the air transportation career field who has sustained an elevated level of excellence in aerial port operations.

Senior Airman Aundrea Britt, an information controller with the 60th Aerial Port Squadron Air Transportation Operations Center at Travis, was the recipient in October 2021 based on her efforts the previous year as a passenger service agent supporting operations at the passenger terminal amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

ing Russia when she was crossing into Russia’s southern Rostov region Saturday morning.

There were no long bus queues. And traffic apps showed light traffic on the roads from the separatist regions to Rostov. RBK media, an independent Russian outlet, reported 3,384 people leaving the separatist zones by midday Saturday.

The woman said many people had no plans to evacuate after orders came Friday. “Some people panicked, but

mostly people are taking it easy and do not want to go anywhere,” she said, interviewed via Telegram. Like others, she spoke on the condition of anonymity because of fears of reprisals from local separatist authorities.

Many others painted the same picture, contradicting the official version – such as Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s claim that Ukraine was committing “crimes against

humanity” and Russia’s Investigative Committee report of “massive shelling” by Ukraine of civilian villages. All has been denied by Ukrainian officials, and journalists in Ukraine have witnessed no major offensive actions by Ukrainian forces.

“I honestly do not have the feeling that someone is attacking someone,” the woman from the separatist region said, “neither Ukraine nor Russia. No one is preparing to attack.”

Brunel’s death also comes as a judge in New York is weighing the release and unsealing of documents that could shed more light on Epstein’s trafficking operation and who was involved. Several people, labeled as “John Does,” have been fighting for years to keep their names redacted from the documents.

Brunel was being held

for investigation into allegations that he and others sexually abused and trafficked young women in France over several decades. He was considered a key part of the case, and had reportedly been cooperating with authorities. He had also been speaking to U.S. authorities.

Since Brunel’s arrest, many women came forward to French

authorities to report their abuse, including Thysia Huisman, a Dutch former model who said was raped by Brunel as a teen.

“It makes me angry, because I’ve been fighting for years,” Huisman told the AP. “For me, the end of this was to be in court. And now that whole ending – which would help form closure – is taken away from me.”

Bay Area could finally see some rain – and freezing temps – next week. Here’s what to expect Tribune Content Agency After more than 40 days without a measurable amount of rain in the Bay Area, weather models showed a slight chance of some precipitation in the region Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

As of Friday morning, there was around a 16% chance on average that the Bay Area could see rain by Tuesday night, according to the weather service.

San Francisco had an 11% chance of rain-

fall, the East Bay had a roughly 19% chance and San Jose had around a 17% chance, the weather service tweeted Friday.

Further south, in places like Big Sur, the chance of rain was much higher for Tuesday.

But even then, the amount of rain expected to fall was scarce – with no more than 0.1 inches “for the ‘lucky’ folks” expected at most, said weather meteorologist Sean Miller.

Reported Sacramento shootings ends with crash on I-80 in Yolo Tribune Content Agency Police officers on Friday arrested a suspect who reportedly carjacked a vehicle in North Sacramento before crashing several miles away on Interstate 80 at the Yolo Causeway.

Several people, including the suspect, were injured in the freeway crash, according to the Sacramento Police Department. Caltrans officials said all westbound lanes on I-80 were blocked as authorities investigated the crash, but the lanes between Sacramento and Davis were reopened about 40 minutes later.

The incident began about 4 p.m. Friday, when officers were called to the 300 block of Silver Eagle Road for reports of multiple shootings and an armed suspect running

through the neighborhood, police said. As officers headed to the scene, multiple callers reported a suspect was running through their yards.

When the officers arrived, a witness told them the suspect had committed a carjacking. Police said officers in a police helicopter spotted the suspect speeding away in the carjacked vehicle.

As the helicopter followed the suspect, the stolen vehicle crashed with multiple occupied vehicles on I-80 in the area of the Yolo Causeway. Immediately after the crash, the suspect tried to carjack other vehicles but was unsuccessful, according to the Police Department.

About 30 minutes after the carjacking, the stolen vehicle had been spotted trying to get past slow freeway traffic, according

to the California Highway Patrol’s online dispatch log. The stolen vehicle was then spotted moving about 100 mph through the center divider.

After the crash, Sacramento police officers arrived at the scene and took the suspect into custody. Police said the suspect suffered non-lifethreatening injuries in the crash and will be treated at a hospital before being booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail.

The CHP online dispatch logs indicated the suspect suffered a face injury and an injury to the left leg. The suspect got out of the stolen vehicle from a rear passenger door, and the vehicle’s back window had been broken, according to the CHP. Police said multiple people suffered minor injuries in the crash.

Another effort to tax ‘extreme wealth’ Airbnb amends policy in California is launched in Legislature forcing Superhosts to Los Angeles Times SACRAMENTO — A handful of Democrats in the state Legislature are pushing again for a tax on “extreme wealth” in California, a move they say could bring the state billions in revenue by raising taxes on households worth $50 million.

But if last year is any indication, the legislation faces an uphill battle.

The new bill by Assemblymember Alex Lee (D-San Jose) reintroduces a proposed tax hike for the state’s richest residents, potentially affecting about 15,000 Californians, or .07% of taxpayers. The proposal would apply a 1% tax on those with a net worth of Xinhua/Zuma Press/TNS file (2019) at least $50 million and a 1.5% tax on those worth more than $1 billion.

resume reservations during pandemic Tribune Content Agency

Ann Goldman enjoyed renting out a spare bedroom in her small Berkeley home via Airbnb, until the pandemic hit. Then she stopped, concerned about sharing the bathroom, kitchen and other common spaces with travelers, who often have just spent hours on a plane.

Last week Airbnb notified her and others that they must resume hosting again or lose status as Superhosts, an elite category for toprated hosts that garners more bookings and earnings for people who rent out rooms or homes via Airbnb.

“This change has made me very angry,” said Goldman, a semiretired consultant for nonprofits. “ Airbnb is telling me that I have to choose between keeping my Superhost status or risk compromising my health.”

Well, she no longer has to worry. Airbnb amended its policy after being contacted by The Chronicle.

“We’ve heard some of our Hosts are still not yet ready to resume hosting, so select, existing Superhosts with health and safety concerns related to the pandemic are eligible for an extension,” the company said in a statement late Friday afternoon.

Airbnb and its hosts have a symbiotic relationship. That was frayed early in the pandemic

when Airbnb gave guests full refunds for canceled reservations, which some hosts said left them in the lurch.

Airbnb’s business rebounded quickly, in part fueled by workers untethered from offices who booked long-term rentals in farflung locations.

Goldman fits the exact profile of the kind of host Airbnb likes to highlight: A senior who hosts to help make ends meet, “sharing” a room in their home.

The other kind of hosts rent out entire houses or apartments.

They are controversial with many civic leaders who say turning homes into hotels removes desperately needed housing stock. San Francisco and other cities have placed strict limits on wholehome rentals. But hosts with separate units who are not cohabiting with guests obviously would have fewer concerns about hosting during the pandemic.

“Now that we’re going back to our usual assessments, you’ll need to work on a few of your stats,” Airbnb wrote in a email last week, saying that Superhosts must “host at least 10 stays in the past year (or 100 nights over at least three stays for Hosts with longer-term reservations).”

During the pandemic, Airbnb had temporarily let Superhosts keep their designation without being active.

The best of Lincoln on film, TV Neal Justin and Chris Hewitt STAR TRIBUNE

T

here’s a reason Presidents Day was designated to honor George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and not, say, Millard Fillmore and Martin Van Buren.

We’re especially obsessed with the 16th president, which explains why Hollywood keeps churning out films and TV specials examining his life. Here are three new documentaries to check out as well as gems from the past: “Abraham Lincoln”: If the only thing you know about Lincoln is that his mug wound up on the penny, this is a good place to start. Doris Kearns Goodwin leads an all-star team of historians offering a thorough, but fairly basic, bio over the course of three nights, covering everything from Lincoln’s hard-scrable childhood to the assassination’s impact on the country. The only surprise here is how easily former President Barack Obama slips into the role of fanboy. 8 p.m. ET Sunday-Tuesday, History Channel “Lincoln’s Dilemma”: If the History Channel project is a primer, then “Dilemma” is the advanced-placement class. Jeffrey Wright narrates these four episodes that take a more nuanced approach to the president’s war strategy and political thinking. It also spends time examining how the issues that triggered the Civil War remain unresolved. The results are not nearly as rah-rah as other offerings. Apple TV+ “Frederick Douglass – In Five Speeches”: You can’t tell Lincoln’s story without examining the contributions of the most famous Black man of the 19th century. Several of today’s most promising young Black actors, including “Lovecraft Country” star Jonathan Majors, recite excerpts from Douglass’ most famous speeches while historians look back at how the civil rights leader pushed and prodded Lincoln. It’s a powerful hour. 9 p.m.

Here are all the dates Tribune Content Agency Paul McCartney is ready to get back on the road again.

The former Beatle on Friday announced his 13-city U.S. “Got Back” concert tour, which begins at the Spokane Arena in Washington on April 28 and concludes at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on June 16. That is just two days before McCartney’s 80th birthday.

At this point, the itinerary includes two California dates – May 6 in Oakland and May 13 in Los Angeles, where McCartney and his band will perform at SoFi Stadium, the site of last week’s NFL Super Bowl game and hip-hop celebrating halftime show.

There is a six-day gap without any performances between McCartney’s upcoming Oakland and Los Angeles concerts. The gap suggests he could add an extra West Coast tour stop or two during that period.

“Got Back” is McCartney’s first tour since his 2019 concert trek, which included 39 performances in 12 countries and concluded at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

“I said at the end of the last tour that I’d see you next time. I said I was going to get back to you. Well, I got back!” McCartney said in a statement issued Friday morning.

railers for the movie “Dog” – co-directed by and starring Channing Tatum as a retired Army Ranger named Riggs who takes a former K-9 comrade to her handler’s funeral – make it look like a fun road trip. Lulu, a Belgian Malinois, is a difficult dog: she chews the car seats, grabs snacks at every opportunity.

Cute guy, cute dog, cute movie. Right?

Wrong.

“Dog” turns out to be a deeply thoughtful, surprisingly resonant look at trauma and what stems from it. Lulu isn’t a bad dog – she’s broken. So is Riggs. They’re both no longer Rangers because they are no longer fit for duty, thanks to that all-

Once he does, he’ll be permitted to join a private

military contractor, despite his own brokenness. So the two begin their odyssey from Oregon to Arizona, making several stops along the way. Though the story can be predictable and pat at times, there’s something more, something deeper behind the plot.

Riggs’s early frustration

with Lulu is understandable. She used to be well-behaved; she had a job and did it well. Now she’s scared of everything, and she doesn’t know why.

Riggs keeps asking her what went wrong. (She is, unsurprisingly, unresponsive). He wants to know how she lost her way, why she seems insistent on destroying herself and her legacy, strongly implying that if Lulu just wanted it enough, she could get better. Riggs even points out that See Trauma, Page B3

Trauma From Page B1 euthanasia isn’t a “warrior’s death.”

Then he goes out and gets drunk, comes home, pops pills, and wakes up to another day where his ears won’t stop ringing and he doesn’t get to do what he’s trained to do – because that nearly killed him.

(A bit of context: Many canine veterans end up being euthanized, as their training and experiences can make them hard to adopt. Soldiers, obviously, aren’t. Yet on average, at least 16 veterans take their own lives every day.)

The connection between Lulu’s and Riggs’s PTSD is never laid on too thickly, but it’s there. And because it’s there, it gives the audience a new way to connect to someone who’s suffering. A highly trained combat veteran with rage issues and night terrors is scary, and it’s easy to look away. A dog? It’s a little harder to turn away from Lulu’s big brown eyes, and easier to see that underneath her muzzle is a desperately sad, scared creature who is worth the effort it takes to save.

Tatum’s varied background in film serves him well here. He’s as believable as a military man as he was in “White House Down,” as funny and as charming as he was in the “21 Jump Street” movies.

What’s more, his serious turn in “Foxcatcher” was no fluke: He can really act.

Considering we spend the vast majority of the movie with him and Lulu in his truck, that’s a relief.

He’s harder to judge as a director, since he’s working as a team here (with Reid Carolin), but there are a number of shots that are truly lovely.

Even the choice of landscape works on a deeper level; as Riggs and Lulu leave the lush woods of Oregon for the arid plains of Arizona, the scenery begins to look more and more like the desert areas of Afghanistan, where Riggs and Lulu met and served together.

While “Dog” is often funny, it’s not a comedy.

Though it’s often sad, it’s not a tragedy either.

Instead, it’s a sensitive, engaging, realistic look at what happens when a soldier’s toughest battle starts when they come home. It’s not the movie its marketing would have you believe it is. It’s much, much better.

Bristol is a university town and they have theater there so I really enjoyed that.

Q: Your distinctive speaking style is irresistible to impressionists. Where does it come from?

A: It’s nothing I ever did intentionally, but I obviously have a way of speaking that’s easy to imitate. I thought a lot about it and the only answer I’ve come up with is that I grew up in Queens, where at the time the whole neighborhood was full of people

who had come from somewhere else and English was not their first language.

In my father’s bakery, everybody spoke German, and usually a few other languages.

The guy next door, the butcher, he was Polish.

And the grocery guy was Italian. In the street and at friends’ houses, you heard other languages spoken all the time.

When people spoke in English there was kind of a searching for words. I grew up hearing people who spoke broken English with those rhythms and it affected the way I speak English.

Q: That style is very evident in “The Outlaws” but mostly muted in “Severance.” There’s one moment, though, the brief final line of Episode 5, where you dial it up.

Was that conscious?

A: No. With that scene there were probably six different ways I said that in different takes.

If I wasn’t a performer, I think I might like to be an editor. You take all the stuff and rearrange and put it together and the choices can make an enormous difference.

Whenever I see something I’ve done, even if I think I knew what was going on, I’m always surprised because of the way they’ve put it together.

Q: You’ve embraced your persona, even doing an “SNL” skit, “Meet the Family,” where everyone – Bill Hader, Amy Poehler, Andy Samberg – played a Walken and did their impression. Were you wary of people becoming distracted by this in your movies?

A: There are certain things in life you can’t do anything about. If that’s what it is for me, well, actors realize pretty quickly that they’re lucky to be working. Most actors are not working.

So, if I was welcome in the business, then that’s all that mattered.

B4 Sunday, February 20, 2022 — DAILY REPUBLIC

For years, a Catholic priest used 1 wrong word during baptisms The church now says the rituals were invalid The Washington Post Time and again, pastor Andres Arango poured holy water on the heads of his parishioners during baptismal ceremonies, performing the Catholic sacrament that signifies the reversal of all past sins and the birth of an innocent person.

“We baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” Arango, a priest in the Diocese of Phoenix, repeated during countless ceremonies.

But Arango misused one word that eventually compromised the validity of all of those rituals: Instead of saying “I baptize you,” he used the word “We,” the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix has announced in a news release.

Arango’s incorrect word nullified all of the baptisms the priest performed using that language, a probe conducted by the diocese recently revealed.

“If you were baptized using the wrong words, that means your baptism is invalid, and you are not baptized,” the diocese

said on its website. “You will need to be baptized.”

Following the news, Arango, who was named pastor of St. Gregory Parish in Phoenix in April 2017, resigned. His resignation became effective on Feb. 1.

“It saddens me to learn that I have performed invalid baptisms throughout my ministry as a priest by regularly using an incorrect formula,” Arango said in a letter published on the Diocese of Phoenix’s website.

“I deeply regret my error and how this has affected numerous people in your parish and elsewhere.”

Arango did not immediately respond to messages from The Washington Post early Tuesday. Neither the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix nor St. Gregory Catholic Church answered messages from The Post early Tuesday.

The mistake goes beyond baptism, the first Catholic sacrament. Because baptism is a sacrament that opens the door to others, if an individual was improperly baptized

by Arango and later received other sacraments, such as confirmation or marriage, they may need to repeat some or all of those sacraments after they are validly baptized.

In 2020, Archbishop Giacomo Morandi said there appeared to be other instances of priests changing the wording during baptisms. Morandi said that, according to the Vatican, no priest shall add, remove or change “anything in the liturgy on his own authority” – an incident that would likely invalidate the sacrament.

Before joining the Diocese of Phoenix, Arango was a member of the Eudist community, an order dedicated to the training of future priests and to the preaching of missions. According to the diocese, Arango was used to saying “We baptize you,” instead of “I,” when presiding over baptisms in both Spanish and English.

After it was reported to Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted that Arango was using the wrong word, a “careful study” found that “all of the baptisms he has

Instead of saying “I baptize you,” the priest used the word “We,” the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix has announced in a news release. performed until June 17, 2021, are presumed invalid.”

Any baptisms Arango performed after June 17, 2021, are presumed valid, the Diocese of Phoenix said, and there is no need to repeat them.

Olmsted, who said he does not believe Arango acted in bad faith, pledged to help correct any invalid baptisms.

According to the Diocese of Phoenix, Arango “has not disqualified himself from his vocation and ministry” and will

continue to help those who were incorrectly baptized. It added that he remains in “good standing” as a priest. The diocese said that as of right now, other sacraments performed by Arango are considered valid.

The priest is asking his parishioners for forgiveness.

“I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience my actions have caused and genuinely ask for your prayers, forgiveness, and understanding,” Arango said.

7 champs give Bulldogs 21st SJS Masters crown Daily Republic staff

LOCAL REPORT

SPORTS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

STOCKTON — Make it 21 Sac-Joaquin Section Masters championships for the Vacaville High wrestling team.

In one of their most dominating performances ever, the Bulldogs rolled to the 2021-22 SJS title by amassing 341 points to 268 for runnerup Oakdale.

Both squads boasted 14 competitors – one in each weight class – but the Mustangs couldn’t keep pace as the Bulldogs put eight wrestlers in the

finals, seven of them capturing crowns, compared to five finalists and three champs for Oakdale.

It’s the fifth straight SJS title for Vacaville, the second-longest in section history behind six

by Turlock (1957-62) and breaking the school record of four set from 1985-88 and 2007-10. It might have been six had the SJS not cancelled postseason competition last spring because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The top six finishers in each

weight class advance to next week’s CIF State Championships at Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield.

Going 5-0 and winning titles for the Bulldogs were Isaiah Medina (106 pounds), Tyler Riley (113), Eric Almarinez (138), Ethan Birch (145), Jason Brauning (152), Francisco Ochoa (182) and Logan Kuehl (195) In the finals, Medina major decisioned Victor Ramirez Jr. of Central Catholic, 9-1; Riley decisioned Jagger French of Del Oro, 6-0; Almarinez major decisioned Jonathan Hernandez of

Oakdale, 11-3; Birch major decisioned Paul Johnson of Liberty Ranch, 10-1; Brauning decisioned Ammar Khan of Franklin of Elk Grove, 4-3; Ochoa decisioned Toure Hendrick of Folsom, 4-3; and Kuehl decisioned Jackson Burgess of Vista del Lago, 3-0.

Also reaching the finals was Logan Vallador, who went 4-1 to finish second at 120.

Others advancing to the state meet were: Casey Roberts (4-2, fourth) at 126; Arjun Nagra (5-1, third) at 160; Thomas Sandoval (5-1, third) at 170); and Luke Levengood (5-1, third) at 285.

Jai Guerra (4-2) just missed out on a state meet berth by placing seventh at 220, while Quasai Marini went 3-2 at 132, ensuring that all 14 Bulldogs made it to the second day of the tournament.

The other area placer was Armijo’s Oeiskie Louis Cleveland, who went 3-3 to finish eighth at 220, losing 3-1 to Guerra in the seventhplace match.

Also competing for the Royals were Manuel Khangab Jr (0-2 at 113); Jorge Nunez See Local, Page B6

Olympics’ time in spotlight has come and gone Paul Zeise

PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE

T

he Olympics are just about to wrap up.

Actually, maybe they did wrap up and I missed it.

It wouldn’t shock me because I’ve missed most of it. And judging by the ratings for the Olympics, most of you have missed it, too. These Olympics are well on their way to set record lows for viewership and that’s never a good thing for the people who televise this stuff.

For whatever reason, these Olympics haven’t resonated with viewers.

There is very little buzz about the Games and even the controversy-type stuff hasn’t drawn the usual outrage and nonstop discussion.

The Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva tested positive for a banned substance but was still allowed to compete. I

ANALYSIS just can’t really get worked up about that, and most people don’t seem to care about it. It is a figure skater in a contrived competition that takes place every four years, and Russian athlete doping scandals became boring about the mid-1980s.

I have heard a lot of reasons why these Olympics are happening almost anonymously in this country, and many of them on their own are a reach. Perhaps all of them stacked together have had a cumulative effect on the ratings, but let me offer this: The reason we in America aren’t watching is because the Olympics have outlived their usefulness. They are somewhat obsolete and involve too many sports that we just don’t play or watch here.

That’s especially true with respect to the Winter Olympics. Most of the sports – like skiing, sled riding (called luge or bobsledding) and even shuffleboard on ice (curling) – are mostly done as recreational activities in this country and most are enjoyed with a group of friends and a few (OK, more than a few) adult beverages.

And remember when we were told by old heads that pro athletes have ruined the Olympics?

Those days were fun, when people believed adding NHL and NBA players was a bad thing and that most people wanted to see the amateurs.

I don’t know about you, but I have no interest in watching Olympic hockey with a bunch of random guys. I want to watch the best of the best compete. I want to watch Sidney Crosby play against Evgeni Malkin.

And the whole thing about country pride is just not enough any more. We don’t have that same nationalistic pride we used to have, and we don’t have a Cold War going on to conjure up all kinds of anger in order to develop a rivalry.

The over saturation of sports on TV has to be a factor and a big one. It used to be the Olympics were an opportunity to watch sports nonstop for two or three weeks, and that was the only time you got to do that. Now that we have seemingly dozens of sports channels, we have the chance to watch sports every day of every year for as much as we want.

In other words, it isn’t a unique experience to be able to watch sports in the middle of the afternoon or at night any more. We do it all the time to the point where the law of diminishing returns on sports See Gone, Page B12

Elana Meyers Taylor adds to US medal haul, takes bronze in 2-woman bobsled Tribune Content Agency BEIJING — After winning silver in the Olympic debut of women’s monobob, Elana Meyers Taylor gave her medal to her son, Nico.

The 2-year-old wore the red lanyard around his neck and turned the silver medal over in his hands as he rolled onto his back in a heartwarming video Meyers Taylor shared on Twitter. With two Olympic medals in tow, Meyers Taylor will get a redo during Sunday’s closing ceremony. Her United States teammates again elected her as the flagbearer.

Nico now has another new toy.

Meyers Taylor added a bronze medal in the two-woman event to her record-setting Olympic haul Saturday, bringing her total medal count to five. The 37-year-old pilot who paired with brakewoman Sylvia Hoffman is the most decorated Black athlete in the Winter

Olympics, passing speedskater Shani David, and has the most Olympic medals for any female bobsledder and U.S. bobsledder.

Previously, she won the twowoman silver in Pyeongchang and Sochi and bronze in Vancouver after switching to bobsled from softball when she saw bobsledder Vonetta Flowers become the first Black athlete to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics.

“There’s a lot of people that came before me,” Meyers Taylor told reporters. “Vonetta Flowers is the reason I’m here and Shani David and even Erin Jackson. It’s just been such a long legacy of Black athletes at the Winter Olympics and hopefully it just continues.”

Germany won gold and silver with 23-year-old Laura Nolte blowing the field away. Nolte, who won the women’s monobob in the 2016 Youth Olympic Games,

recorded a four-heat time of 4:03.96 to unseat defending Olympic gold medalist Mariama Jamanka, who totaled a time of 4:04.73.

For the first time in her Olympic career, Kaillie Humphries finished a competition off the podium. The three-time Olympic gold medalist was battling a calf injury and finished seventh, dropping from the fifth-place position after Friday.

The 36-year-old won gold in monobob on Monday.

Hoffman won her first Olympic medal in her debut after taking up bobsled as a result of the NBC reality show/training camp “Next Olympic Hopeful.” The former basketball player and Olympic weightlifter hugged Nolte after the German pilot’s final run, telling her, “Congratulations! You got gold!

You did it!”

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Jacques Villeneuve is just happy to be here, an odd yet understandable position decades after his Indianapolis 500 win and Formula One title.

A run during Sunday’s sold-out Daytona 500 is a bucket list item for the 50-year-old Canadian racer to cross off.

“At this point in my career, just to make the show is incredible,” said Villeneuve, who posted the fastest time of the six cars eligible in Wednesday’s time trials.

NASCAR’s showcase event and season’s kickoff is many things.

It’s lifetime achievement for Villeneuve, a career-maker for some and heartbreaker for others – with the Harley J. Earl Trophy undoubtedly the sport’s ultimate piece of hardware.

“It is the Daytona 500. It is everything,” 2015 winner Joey Logano. said. “It feels special to win it for sure. Being so close the last few years and ending up in a ball of fire at the end of it hurts.”

Each driver in the 40-car field has his own emotions, experiences and expectations entering the scheduled 200-lap trek around the 2.5-mile oval at Daytona International Speedway that inevitably comes down to the final mile.

Defending champion Michael McDowell wants to prove his only Cup Series to date was no fluke and avoid joining Trevor Bayne and Derrike Cope as one-hit wonders in the Great American Race.

Two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch aims to join his brother and 2017 winner, Kurt, on the list of champions and leave behind a group of greats never to win it, most notably Tony Stewart – one of the few drivers this millennium with comparable talent.

“There’s a lot of guys that have been greats in

our sport that did not win this race,” Busch said. “I would not like to go down as one of those guys.”

Meanwhile, pole-sitter Kyle Larson hopes to continue his redemption story and elevate his status among racing’s elite following the championship.

2021 The 29-year-old became the first driver to win 10 times in a season since Jimmie Johnson in 2007 after Larson sat out 2020 following his suspension for using a racial slur during a virtual racing event.

Expected to be in the mix late Sunday, Larson did not anticipate starting from the front row alongside Alex Bowman, who is there for a record fifth straight time. Yet, Larson’s offseason dirt track success shows he is willing and able to drive in all conditions, allowing him to adapt quickly to NASCAR’s new Next Gen car.

“Everyone has been one foot in front of the other and taking a cautious approach because there’s still so much unknown,” Kurt Busch said. “There’s still a lot of question marks floating above people’s heads.”

Fans included.

The Next Gen car enjoyed favorable reviews during a soft opening Feb. 6 at the Busch Clash during NASCAR’s first-event race in L.A. Coliseum.

But Sunday’s sold-out crowd will feature an estimated 120,000 spectators, including many of the sport’s true-blood fans finely attuned to the new car’s ability to perform and produce exciting racing.

Beverly has better second round at Riviera FAIRFIELD — After a disastrous first round that included a quintuple-bogy, Aaron Beverly enjoyed a much better second round in his PGA debut at The Genesis Invitational at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Friday.

The Armijo High graduate and former Sacramento State University standout, the recipient of the Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption, finished with a 3-over-par 74 with a round that included seven pars, four birdies and seven bogeys.

Starting out his second round on the 10th hole, Beverly’s birdies were on the 10th, 11th, 15th and sixth holes. His front nine included three bogeys after he had opened with the two straight birdies.

All told, Beverly finished at 156, 14-over par.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, February 20, 2022 B7

They left corporate America to be their own boss; this is how it’s going The Washington Post Many businesses born during the pandemic are now struggling to survive or grow.

Rising inflation, supply chain issues and labor shortages are expected to continue at least for the short term, making it harder for small businesses to succeed – and jeopardizing the prospects of the historic number of new ventures launched in 2021.

According to the Census Bureau, some 5.4 million new business applications were filed in 2021. Of the businesses launched in 2020, 78% – or roughly 4 out of 5 establishments – are still active, according to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, a Kansas City, Mo., nonprofit that studies entrepreneurship.

The pandemic accelerated the new-business boom in two ways, says Ken Szymusiak, managing director of the Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Michigan State University.

First, entrepreneurs saw opportunities to serve millions of people who were working and learning from home.

Second, a historic number of people quit their jobs in 2021. Many people who were downsized by their companies or were unwilling to return to the office started their own businesses out of economic necessity.

Some 30% of the new businesses in 2020 were started out of necessity, compared with 13% in 2019, the Kauffman Foundation found.

Experts and academics offer this advice to rookie entrepreneurs: Don’t give up. “There are always highs and lows,” Szymusiak says. “If you’ve lost your passion or reached the point where you can’t stomach the financial repercussions, it’s time to ask hard questions about going on,” he says.

Gallup has found that a craving for independence, the ability to manage risk, self-confidence and a sense of determination are among the top characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.

Those traits – the same that compel someone to

To understand how new entrepreneurs stay motivated and build their businesses, we talked to three people who left jobs to go out on their own, launching a cooking show, a home decor business and a board game company.

One is earning far more than he was at his corporate job. The second is breaking out in big ways on Etsy and through partnerships with companies like Target. The third venture hasn’t fully taken off yet. Their experiences show how an uncertain economy can challenge the thrill of being your own boss. n n n

Max Miller Burbank Old job: Film sales and distribution for the Walt Disney Co. New venture: Tasting History, a YouTube cooking channel Q: Where did you get the idea for Tasting History?

A: I was always bringing historic food into the office. At a company Christmas party in 2019, I brought a medieval elderflower cheesecake.

A co-worker said to me, “Hey, you should put this on YouTube.” I put out my first video at the end of February 2020.

Q: When did Tasting History become a full-time gig?

2/20/22

Difficulty level: BRONZE

Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty level ranges from Bronze (easiest) to Silver to Gold (hardest).

Solution to 2/20/22:

Q: How do you make money?

A: About four months after the channel took off, a company called Curiosity Stream reached out and wanted to sponsor the channel. I had no idea what to charge. So I decided to ask for a certain amount – I thought it was a lot – and they very eagerly said OK. Clearly my amount was not correct. I called a friend who was an agent and asked for help negotiating. She’s been able to help me with contracts and seeing pitfalls I didn’t see coming. Even though my agent takes a portion of what I bring in, her 10%

struck, I was furloughed.

Nobody was going to the movies anymore. But I knew that I was starting the channel at the perfect time. Everyone was at home, and there was room to grow there. My start-up costs were fairly cheap – about $2,000 for a camera, tripod, light ring and microphone. I had rather immediate success, hitting 150,000 subscribers in just four months.

By April 2020, the channel had pretty much replaced my income at Disney.

When the company asked me to come back in 2021, I decided to focus on the channel and made a video called “I Quit.”

cut was made up a hundredfold in a month. Now I have over a million subscribers and am full-up with sponsors.

Q: Are you profitable?

A: I am making far more than what I was making at Disney. I wouldn’t have ever guessed that.

Q: What’s next?

A: All of this could go away any given week – there’s always that fear. What happens if YouTube changes its search algorithm or how it shares its advertising revenue? My strategy is sublimating YouTube. I have a cookbook in the works. I’m thinking about moving into podcasts. I’m just starting to grow on Instagram and Twitter. If something happens with YouTube, all of my eggs aren’t in one basket.

Miller’s takeaways: n Seek revenue from sponsors and advertisers; hire someone to help with negotiations and contracts. n Diversify your offerings and delivery platforms to expand your base and protect you from downturns. n n n

Candice Luter Cedar Rapids, Iowa Old job: Account executive at a commercial design firm

New venture: Candice Luter Art + Interiors Q: How did you discover your passion?

A: Sometime in 2015, I came across an ad for a local farmers market. I had never upcycled anything – where you take old furniture and decor and make it better – but I had seen it on Pinterest. I bought power tools and asked for help using them. I started upcycling anything I could.

A month later, I thought I could really do something with this.

Q: So you were able to work a full-time job and run a business?

A: It was hard. With this side job, I was answering emails and calls from the bathroom and in the car. Then the pandemic hit, and I got laid off. I thought it would be for a month or two. But they said, “We can’t bring you back.” When you’re used to stability and then there’s no stability, it’s tough. I was on unemployment. But I thought, “OK, God, you gave me two hands.”

Q: When did business really take off?

A: I already had a place on Etsy. At the start of the pandemic, a lot of people were working from home and wanted See Left, Page B8

business

B8 Sunday, February 20, 2022 — DAILY REPUBLIC

Left From Page B7 artwork for their Zoom backgrounds or were tackling to-do lists. I tripled my sales the first year of the pandemic, which floored me. Last August, Etsy named me the artist of the year or some such. A lot of companies search on Etsy and Pinterest to discover artists and see what’s new out there. In February, Target featured some of my products that I created for its Black History Month collection across 855 stores. Until December, I wasn’t getting a regular paycheck because I needed to take care of my employees first.

Q: How do you fulfill all these production demands?

A: I have two part-time employees, but I mainly employ subcontractors who are paid by the hour. I have such a great, supportive community in Cedar Rapids. I am surrounded by people who are willing to learn with me.

Q: What are your biggest challenges?

A: In the beginning, I had no business sense, no idea of markup or how much my time was worth. But I didn’t set out to be a business manager and lead all these people. I realized that I needed to be in design - that’s my best fit. So I’ve added people with different skill sets to help me with marketing and shipping. I also contacted women I knew with corporate jobs and outsourced HR and accounting to them.

Q: What’s next?

A: I can see our business growing across different niches in decor. I’m working with a strategist to figure out where we want to be in five years. Do I need a line of credit? Do I need investors? I’d love to continue expanding – there’s so much room in a creative business.

Luter’s takeaways: n Know your weaknesses, such as accounting and human resources, and tap professionals for help. n Get exposure online through marketplaces like Etsy

Wonmin Lee Astoria, Queens Old job: Consultant with a major technology company New venture: Pegasus Games Q: You’ve known for a while that you weren’t cut out for a desk job, right?

A: The time I spent working for a big corporation was very taxing on my mental health and my soul. In June 2016, I quit my job to do my own thing - learn coding and launching a website with my brother. After about two years, I got burned out from coding, and we sold our website to a competitor. I wanted to do something with my hands, so I created “Welcome to Sysifus Corp,” a board game about corporate life. I wasn’t trying to get crazy rich. I was more like a starving artist who wanted to know if it’s possible to make

than when I was working for a company. I can spend time with my girlfriend and family – and my cat, Lou. Q: What’s holding you back?

A: I vastly underestimated shipping costs, especially with all the transportation problems globally. I now work with a couple of companies that ship for you, and I get better rates. I also realized that it’s cheaper to use standard box sizes instead of custom sizes.

Q; What’s next?

A: My next game to come out is called “Love, Career & Magic,” a game based on a Japanese reality show. This time, I’ll have a marketing campaign in place before launching another Kickstarter. I need to build up my following. People have signed up for my email list, and they follow me on social media.

Lee’s takeaways: n Consider crowdfunding your start-up costs and market your product to donors. n Look for ways to reduce business costs, such as standard box sizes and bulk shipping.

something I was proud of.

Q: How did Covid-19 affect your game business?

A: The pandemic accelerated its release. Right now, there is like a movement of people not wanting to work. It’s anti-work, down with corporate America.

I took advantage of that. I posted a Kickstarter campaign in early 2021 that raised about $18,000 – enough money to order 1,000 copies from the manufacturer. The final retail version of the game came out in October 2021. Through Kickstarter, I sold more than 200 games. Then I sent 200 or 250 copies to a board game distributor.

Q: Are you still a starving artist?

A: I was until recently.

Over Thanksgiving, my brother posted on Reddit a photo of my game, and I got a crap ton of orders. It was a hectic postThanksgiving week. I went to my dad’s warehouse to ship over 100 games out. In the end, I basically broke even with the Kickstarter money. I didn’t take a salary in 2021. Even so, I’m happier with my life now

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF ELVA LEE BUSH CASE NO. P051182 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: ELVA LEE BUSH A Petition for Probate has been filed by D'ARCY BUSH in the Superior Court of California, County of SOLANO. The Petition for Probate requests that D'ARCY BUSH be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The Petition requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on 3/9/2022 at 9:00 A.M. in Dept. 22 Room N/A located at 600 UNION AVE., FAIRFIELD, CA 94533.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Medal: ‘Lot of work’ went into effort her home as the pandemic shut down gyms.

Makeshift workouts made an unwelcome return in Beijing, where Meyers Taylor had to spend the first part of the Games in isolation after testing positive for the coronavirus.

While other pilots got to test the track during informal trainings for the monobob competition, Meyers Taylor was left lifting a barbell in her hotel. The isolation also cost Meyers Taylor an opportunity to carry the flag for the United States at the opening ceremony.

She watched the event from an isolation hotel.

From Page B5 Meyers Taylor and Hoffman finished 1.52 seconds behind the gold medalists and 0.75 second out of silver.

Typically paired with Humphries during the World Cup circuit, Hoffman worked with Meyers Taylor only sparingly leading up to the Games.

“We had to put in a lot of work just so we could get on the same page,” Hoffman told reporters.

“We did it. We got bronze, which is awesome because it’s my first Olympic medal.”

Along with competing in two events for the first time in her Olympic career, Meyers Taylor returned to the Olympics for the first time as

Busch, though, said the pace and intensity will escalate considerably with more cars on the track.

winner said. “The cars by themselves are slower, but they draft so much more aggressively and the speed will pick up almost double what last year’s car did. So . . . in the draft things are moving around like the bingo ball, Powerball 5.

“Then when you lose the draft, it’s like you pulled a parachute in drag racing at Gator Nationals.”

“It brings back a lot of great memories,” McDowell said of his return to the iconic track.

Someone will make some Sunday. Others, like Villeneuve, already have.

“To be able to make such a big race at such a high level is amazing,” he said. “When I’m in the race car I don’t realize that I’m 50, which is good.”

while every driver will be dreaming big.

McDowell’s first career victory in 358 Cup Series starts gave underdogs hope.

McDowell’s title defense got off to a promising start. The 37-year-old posted an average lap speed (192.736 mph) in his No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford, the fastest time during the two 50-minute practice sessions.

One reason for the low ratings that I just don’t think is a factor is that they are in China and people are angry about it. China is a country that has welldocumented human rights violations and the theory is many people think we should have boycotted them I don’t buy that at all. I don’t think there is some large movement of people so bent out of shape about the human rights violations in China that they are tuning out.

That is an excuse and a convenient one that doesn’t hold a lot of water.

It is important to note that the U.S. probably should have boycotted the Olympics as a statement against Chinese human rights violations. But that doesn’t mean there is some huge undercurrent

of anger among Americans.

I believe the Olympics and all of the scandals that come with the Games should go away forever. We can hold international competitions without all the bells and whistles and the corruption of the IOC. The World Cup in soccer and the four majors in both tennis and golf are great examples of far better and far more compelling events than the Olympics have been. I’m sure they could put together a World Cup-like tournament in basketball that would blow away the Olympics.

The Olympics used to be something special and used to be must-see TV. They aren’t any longer and instead are an overhyped and overpriced three-week dog and pony show. It is time to find a better and more interesting way to hold international competitions because this model is obviously broken beyond repair.
