Sanchez joins 3rd District supes’ race Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Former Suisun City Mayor Pete Sanchez has joined the growing list of candidates looking to replace Jim Spering on the Solano County Board of Supervisors, and current Suisun Councilwoman Wanda Williams has made her campaign official. Sanchez said Tuesday he decided eight years ago he would likely run for office if Spering decided against seeking reelection, which was a rumor at the time. Spering sought and won reelection then and did so again four years ago. Now that it appears Spering will indeed retire, Sanchez opted to enter the race. Sanchez is basing his cam- SANCHEZ paign in large part on his years of public service, which includes 23 years in the Solano County Assessor’s Office (he’s a certified public accountant), 24 years on the City Council in Suisun City and his current service on the Solano Irrigation District’s governing board. He understands the ups and downs of politics but said he has more to give to the larger community. “I’ve run a lot of campaigns. I’ve lost half of them and I’ve won half of them,” he said. “I feel confident with my 24 years on the Suisun City Council and serving 12 years as vice mayor and 12 years as mayor.” During that time he was exposed to the operations of the Solano Transportation Authority, where he served as president; and served on various local, county and regional boards and commissions as Suisun City’s representative. Sanchez, if elected, said he will donate his entire net salary while in office to the parent-teacher organizations at schools in the Fairfield-Suisun School District, to the Suisun Senior Center and to local school marching bands. He said he made similar donations – though much smaller given his stipend at the time – during his first term on the City Council. He said if he wins office, he looks forward to performing free wedding ceremonies, as See Sanchez, Page A8

President Joe Biden delivers remarks on developments in Ukraine and Russia, and announces sanctions against

Russia, from the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., Tuesday.

Biden hits Russia with sanctions for invasion of Ukraine

Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that the United States will levy its first tranche of economic sanctions against Moscow, responding in concert with European allies to what he described as “the beginning of a Russian invasion of Ukraine” while holding stronger measures in reserve. “I’m going to begin to impose sanctions in response far beyond the steps we and our allies and partners implemented in 2014,” Biden said, a reference to the response that followed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea eight years ago. “If Russia goes further with this invasion, we stand to go further with sanctions” against Moscow, he added. U.S. sanctions will hit “large Russian financial institutions” in a

Stream 2 gas pipeline project. Putin has coveted the $11 billion Russian investment as a way to gain additional leverage over Europe by controlling its energy supply. Shortly after the announcement, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said he had called off his planned meeting this week in Geneva with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov. “Now that we see the invasion is beginning and Russia has made clear its wholesale rejection of diplomacy, it does not make sense to go forward — President Joe Biden with that meeting at this time,” Blinken told reporters head of Russia’s Federal Security Tuesday. “We will not allow Russia Service, known as the FSB, the main to claim the pretense of diplomacy domestic security agency that suc- . . . while it marches down the path of conflict.” ceeded the Soviet-era KGB.

FAIRFIELD — The man charged with murder and arson in connection with a wildfire that raged into Solano County in August 2020 made a new court appearance Tuesday, according to court records. Victor Serriteno, 30, was in a Fairfield courtroom for a readiness conference and an order to show cause before Judge Carlos R. Gutierrez. The readiness conference and preliminary hearing are now scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Aug. 22 in Department 9, Room 205 of the Justice Center, according to the online records. SERRITENO The Vacaville man remains in jail without bail. He faces three counts of murder along with one count each of arson of an inhabited structure and arson during a state emergency. The arson enhancement to the murder charge could make him eligible for the death penalty. Solano County District Attorney Krishna Abrams indicated after Serriteno’s previous court appearance in November that the families of the victims are anxious for the case to proceed to trial. There have been several court appearances since Serriteno’s initial booking Sept. 11 into the Solano County jail. “It’s a capital case, a death penalty case,” Abrams said in November. “We would just like to set the preliminary hearing. It’s frustrating for the family.” Authorities suspect that Serriteno started See Court, Page A8

But impossible. But they were all to borrow a bit of wisdom from good kids who, for whatever Jimmy Buffett, “If we couldn’t reasons, needed a safe place to laugh, we would all go insane.” stay for a while. They enriched I liked the card for its humor, our lives and taught us more but I loved it because of the than we ever hoped to teach person who sent it to me. them. Especially Emily. Let’s call her Emily. That’s Life had not been kind to her. not her real name, but it’s a good At times, it was unspeakably name for a good soul. It’s been cruel. But in the 14 turbudecades since Emily came to lent years of her life, she had live with me, my first husband learned how to survive, how to and our three young children. make the best of bad times and She was not the only teenmost of all, how to laugh.

I wish you could’ve heard her. That girl could out-bray a mule. If I ever get hearing aids, I plan to send her the bill. And now that I have her address, I’ll know where to send it. At the end of Emily’s year with us, she went back to the family and the life she grew up in. For a while, things seemed to go well. When she was in a good place, I’d get a note or a long-distance phone call. When she was in a bad place, I didn’t hear much from her. I rarely knew how to get in touch with her. But she always knew how to reach me. In recent years, I hadn’t heard a word from Emily. I’d almost given up hope of ever hearing from her again. But two months ago, I got a Christmas card from her, saying that she was well and sending us her love. It included a return address.

So I wrote back with a brief update on our lives. She knew that my first husband died years ago and that I had remarried. So I filled her in on our growing family, complete with photos of our nine grandchildren. When I mailed it, I prayed it wasn’t too much. I didn’t want to overwhelm her and risk never hearing from her again. Then last week, she sent me that wonderful birthday card with a few more details of her life and how well she is doing. She especially seemed to like the photos of the grandkids. But my favorite line she wrote was this: “I now know how much God loves me, and it has finally brought me to love myself.” Sometimes a birthday card can be a priceless gift. If I could have given Emily anything when she was with us, I’d have gladly given her what she described in that card – the thing she needed most of all –

a clear sense of how much she is loved by God, and in turn, a genuine love for herself. But love is a gift. It can’t be received until it’s accepted. We don’t need hearing aids to hear it. We just need to be willing to risk everything, open our arms and our hearts and let it in. Love speaks in a whisper, never a shout, sometimes with words, always with grace. It comes on the wind, in the sound of a baby’s breath, in a look in the eyes of one who cares, or in the touch of a healing hand. It finds a home within our soul and sings a song that all is well. Listen. Do you hear it? Sharon Randall is the author of “The World and Then Some.” She can be reached at P.O. Box 922, Carmel Valley, CA 93924, or www.sharonrandall.com.

Grayson introduces bill to combat human trafficking Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Assemblyman Tim Grayson recently introduced legislation sponsored by the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking, which would establish the California Multidisciplinary Alliance to Stop Trafficking Act. Assembly Bill 2553 aims to examine and evaluate existing programs and outreach for survivors and victims

of human trafficking. It provides recommendations to strengthen California’s response to supporting survivors and holding offenders accountable. “California is GRAYSON home to some of the largest hubs for sex and labor trafficking in the United States, and it is beyond time our state takes the necessary steps in combating this criminal enterprise,” Grayson,

D-Concord, said in a press release. Human trafficking is the exploitation of human beings through force, fraud or coercion for the purposes of commercial sex or forced labor. It is estimated to be a $150 billion a year global industry, according to the release from Grayson’s office. Communities became more vulnerable to traf-

ficking during the Covid-19 pandemic and shelter-at-home orders due to the suspension of regularly offered services, the release states. There was a significant rise in calls for urgent trafficking cases through the pandemic, leading to overburdened service providers unable to offer essential services due to the increased need, according to Grayson’s office. As a result, some survivors were re-trafficked,

and many others were left without safe options for housing and employment. A task force would be comprised of select state agencies, survivors and representatives from human rights and immigrant rights organizations whose main priorities are to evaluate the state’s progress in preventing human trafficking and providing support to victims and survivors, according to the press release. In doing so, the task force would be able to

provide recommendations to strengthen state and local efforts to address the root causes that make individuals, families and communities at risk of trafficking. AB 2553 is co-authored by 12 other Assembly members. Grayson currently represents the 14th District, which includes portions of Solano County in and around Benicia and Vallejo.

Historically, women typically adopted their husbands’ surnames when they married and use that name the rest of their lives. Property and estate records were usually recorded only in the husband’s name. Nonetheless, there are records out there that document their lives.

Supreme Court shuts down Trump bid to shield records from Jan. 6 committee

3 men convicted of hate crimes in Arbery’s killing

Tribune Content Agency

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — The three men responsible for Ahmaud Arbery’s murder were found guilty Tuesday morning of federal hate crimes, closing another chapter in his family’s two-year struggle for justice. The verdict was reached just before 10 a.m. after less than four hours of deliberations by a jury of eight white people, three Black people and one Hispanic person. It came a day before the twoyear anniversary of Arbery’s slaying. The convictions are viewed as a victory for the U.S. Justice Department, which has made prosecuting hate crimes a priority. Unlike last year’s murder trial, federal prosecutors centered their case on race. Numerous witnesses testified about the three white defendants’ vile comments and bigoted attitudes toward Black people. The prosecution successfully argued that Travis McMichael, 36, his father Greg McMichael, 66, and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, 52, targeted Arbery because he was Black. Several jurors were visibly emotional as the clerk read the guilty verdicts on all five counts of the federal indictment. The foreperson, a Black social worker, wiped tears from his eyes. Outside the courthouse was a scene of jubilation as Arbery’s parents addressed news cameras. Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, called it “Super Tuesday.” “I want to say thank you to everybody who stood by us during

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court has formally rejected President Donald Trump’s effort to block release of documents from his administration to the House Jan. 6 Select Committee, bringing a formal end to his executive privilege claims in connection with the records. The decision follows the court’s Jan. 19 order that led the National Archives, which legally holds presidential records, to hand them over to the House of Representatives as the court weighed whether to accept Trump’s appeal. The House committee has said it needs visitor logs, phone records, speech drafts and other written records to understand what role Trump may have played in instigating the violence that unfolded when his supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to prevent Congress from formally certifying Biden’s 2020 presidential election. The insurrection left lawmakers scrambling for safety and delayed for several hours the largely ceremonial, but constitutionally required, process. In August, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), chairman of the House committee, asked the National Archives for “all documents and communications related to efforts, plans or proposals to contest the 2020 presidential elections results” as well as “videos, photographs and other media” from the White House that related to the Jan. 6 rally, “the march to the Capitol

President Donald Trump turns to reporters as he exits the White House to walk toward Marine One on the South Lawn in Washington, D.C., Jan. 12, 2021. . . . and the activities of President Trump and other high-level executive branch officials that day.” Trump sued to prevent the dissemination of the records after President Biden determined last year that they could be released. Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that Trump had “provided no basis” for the courts to override Biden’s judgment that executive privilege should not be asserted on those documents. Tuesday’s Supreme Court decision ends Trump’s bid to have the Supreme Court hear his case. Several former Trump officials have refused to speak to the committee citing Trump’s executive privilege claims.

Sheffield, center, during his sentencing, along with his father Greg McMichael and neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan in the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick, Georgia, Jan. 7. this fight for justice for Ahmaud,” she said. “It’s been a very long, stressful fight.” Cooper-Jones praised the Justice Department for bringing the federal hate crimes charges but criticized prosecutors for striking a plea deal with the McMichaels before the trial. During an emotional pretrial hearing on Jan. 31, U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood, after hearing protests from Arbery’s family, declined to accept a binding plea agreement that would have required her to impose 30-year prison sentences against the father and son. Wood gave the McMichaels two days to decide whether they wanted to enter their guilty pleas to a hate crime but allow her to decide their punishment. They declined. “What the (Justice Department) did today,

it was made to do today,” Cooper-Jones said. “It wasn’t because of what they wanted to do. They were made to do their job today.” The defendants face possible life sentences for the hate crimes convictions. Wood has yet to schedule a sentencing date. At a press conference in Washington, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said “hate crimes have a singular impact because of the terror and fear that they inflict on entire communities. . . . No one should fear that if they go out for a run they will be targeted and killed because of the color of their skin.” Arbery should still be alive today and his family should be preparing to celebrate his 28th birthday this spring, not mourning the second anniversary of his killing, the attorney general said. “The defendants’

actions and the racism that fueled them have inflicted enduring trauma on Mr. Arbery’s family, his friends, his community and communities across the country,” Garland said. When asked about Cooper-Jones’ criticism of the Justice Department’s recommended plea deal, Garland became emotional, at times catching his breath. “I cannot imagine the pain that a mother feels to have her son run down and then gunned down while taking a jog on a public street,” he said. “My heart goes out to her and to the family. That’s really all I can say about this.” In a statement, Gov. Brian Kemp called the verdicts “another necessary step toward justice in a case that shocked many across our state and nation, my family included.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A desire for improvement may seem like a rejection of the status quo. With an accepting heart, you will somehow be able to simultaneously love the way things are while also rooting for the change. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Unfinished business has its own beauty. It’s still ripe with potential. Don’t be too quick to finish things. Let yourself linger in the lively land of limbo. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It is possible that you lack the technical expertise to complete a task. Do not let that stop you. Let your enthusiasm and excitement shine through. There will be somebody to assist you with the logistics. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The saying goes, “It takes money to make money.” The money in question doesn’t always have to be your own, though. Although you can mitigate the risk, remember that those who pay the most will also gain the most. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re skeptical of what’s happening in elite circles. Though you may be invited to join, you’ll resist. The outsiders are more attractive to you. Somehow, it’s safer outside. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Although you work well with strong-willed individuals, sometimes you need a break from the intensity. Today you’ll thrive in easygoing company, or the serenity of solitude. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Daily Cryptoquotes

Talk Day-by-Day Dear Walking the Talk: Thank you for sharing you own personal experience in accepting and living with your husband who has Alzheimer’s. I hope that your letter helps others know they are not alone and that there are resources available for those living in similar situations. Dear Annie: In addition to grieving parents, we often forget about grieving siblings. My oldest child died suddenly, and it wasn’t until I received the outpouring of love and support from my older brother that I realized the impact my son’s death had on him. Despite the tumultuous years of childhood and the eye-rolling teenage years, they loved each other, and his grief was profound. — Grieving Mother Dear Grieving: I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your letter. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

by Holiday Mathis

Today’s birthday The various roles of your life get a brilliant shake-up. A sibling acts as a good friend; children transform into teachers; and your inner critic becomes an insightful coach. You will gain a greater sense of control over your physical energy and achieve a health-related goal. Love will help you discover your potential. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 44, 10, 27 and 16.

You’re patient and will wait for your loved ones who move at a different pace. When you’re on your own, you can have as much speed and freedom as you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The deal goes down; the exchange favors you. You won’t immediately feel the force of your good fortune. But the future will reveal the many advantages to your position. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). It’s one puzzle after another today. Whether you’re learning new software or locating a left shoe, trial and error will eventually get you to the win. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). What would it take to let go of winning, of being right, of proving a point, and instead focus on understanding and listening? For many it would be too heroic a task. But you’re angelic, gracious and egoless, so it’s easy, right? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being available to the world today will benefit you. Don’t let your calls go to voicemail.

Personalization will make a difference. Your human touch is appreciated. COSMIC QUESTION: “How do you know the difference between love and infatuation? I’ve been with a Capricorn for three weeks and I think it’s love. I’m ready to be exclusive with him. He says I’m taking it too fast and that I’m still in the infatuation phase. He says he doesn’t want to get hurt. Should I slow my roll? This is the most exciting, passionate, romantic relationship I’ve ever been in. I’m an Aries.” Fiery Aries thrives on excitement, impulse and risk. Can you savor this fun without being pushy? Like your practical Capricorn beau, I too believe that you’re infatuated, but that’s beside the point. Whether you’re infatuated or in love, you’re still creating this relationship with another person. If he’s feeling pushed or pulled, that’s repellant. He’s going to be less attracted to you because you’re asking him to make decisions he’s not ready to make. My advice in this early stage is to build the fun, have experiences, get to know each other and bond like crazy. For now, don’t worry about defining your feelings, just let them grow naturally through the dating process. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Dakota Fanning holds the distinction of having been the youngest person ever nominated for a Screen Actor’s Guild Award. She started acting at the age of 5, which is less unusual for Pisces natives, who tend to be old souls who know what work they want to do early on in life. Fanning was born under the entertaining Leo moon.

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder two more tricks in the suit and East discarding a low club. West shifted to the diamond two. How should South have continued? What do you think about West’s defense? North’s two-heart cue-bid showed at least 10 support points with three or more spades. South made a game-try with three clubs, which North was happy to accept. Both overbid slightly, but aggression often pays when you know the opposition’s strength is concentrated in one hand. Frequently you can make a game with fewer high-card points than are customarily required. Once East, who couldn’t respond, turned up with the heart ace, West was marked with the spade queen and diamond king. South won the fourth trick with dummy’s diamond queen, played a spade to his ace and cashed the spade king. When the queen dropped, declarer removed East’s final trump and claimed. West defended poorly. With his honor cards uncovered when East produced the heart ace, he should have led another heart at trick four, hoping his partner had 10-x-x in spades. Then if declarer discarded from the board, East’s spade 10 would have executed an uppercut on declarer. Or, if South ruffed with dummy’s spade jack, East’s 10 would have been promoted.

Oscars will require Covid-19 vaccination for audience members The Washington Post The 94th Academy Awards will require nominees and guests in the Dolby Theatre audience to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination and two negative PCR tests, according to a person with knowledge of the March 27 ceremony. The vaccine mandate won’t extend to performers and presenters, who will still be required to undergo testing. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ decision was first reported Thursday by the New York Times, which noted that the organization came to its decision after “much internal discussion” and in response to safety protocols and standards set by Los Angeles County.

invited to sit in the Oscars audience, according to the Times, those in the “orchestra and parterre” sections will not be asked to wear masks. Last week, the Hollywood Reporter stated that the academy was not planning to require vaccinations at all and would instead only require a negative PCR or rapid antigen test taken the day of the ceremony. A representative for the academy did not respond to The Washington Post’s request for comment on that report. Upcoming ceremonies hosted by Hollywood unions – including the Screen Actors Guild, the Directors Guild of America and the Producers Guild of America – will require proof of vaccination, according to Deadline.

incursions into Ukraine, reflects an effort by Western allies to stay unified as they shift from trying to deter a conflict to containing one. For several U.S. administrations, sanctions have become a favored tool to punish misbehaving world leaders. But the effectiveness of sanctions in changing a government’s behavior is murky at best. Sanctions, which usually ban the target from trade or commerce with U.S. entities including banks and freeze the target’s U.S.-based assets, seemed instrumental in bringing Iranian leaders to the negotiating table over their nuclear aspirations. In 2015, Iran agreed to suspend most production of nuclear materials in exchange for the lifting of sanctions that had crippled the country’s economy and blocked its ability to sell oil on the world market. Russia is a different story. A series of sanctions that the U.S. and Europe previously placed on Russian entities and individuals has failed to alter Putin’s behavior, including his suspected poisoning of opponents and dissidents in countries outside Russia. Many experts say that unless sanctions can punish the Russian elites whose wealth and political self-interests bolster Putin, the measures will have little deep impact. But the sanctions imposed Tuesday against two banks – the nation’s fifth-largest, VEB, and a government bank that funds Russia’s military – marked the first time the U.S. has frozen the assets of a major state-owned Russian bank, signaling the severity of the fuller sanctions package still in the offing. Deputy national security adviser Daleep Singh, who briefed reporters on the measures, said they were “only the sharp edge of the pain we can inflict,” stating that the White House is ready to take similar actions against Russia’s largest banks. “No Russian financial institution is safe if this invasion proceeds” Singh added. Combined, the two banks hold $80 billion in assets and finance the Russian defense sector and economic development, according to a fact sheet from the White House. The measures will freeze the banks’ assets in the United States,

prohibit U.S. individuals and businesses from being involved in any transactions with them, shut them out of the global financial system and foreclose access to the U.S. dollar. The administration also said it plans to block U.S. individuals and financial institutions from participating in Russia’s secondary bond market, in an effort to cut off a key avenue for Russia to raise new money. Last year, the U.S. took similar action to block the purchase of Russian government bonds directly from state institutions. Biden said that the U.S. would be repositioning troops already in Europe to shore up forces along NATO’s eastern flank, including an infantry battalion task force of approximately 800 personnel, from Italy to the Baltic region, but sought to clarify that those movements were “totally defensive” in nature. “We have no intention of fighting Russia,” he said. “We want to send an unmistakable message, though, that the United States, together with our allies, will defend every inch of NATO territory and abide by the commitments we made to NATO.” In the first hours of a new conflict in Europe, democratic powers worked to balance the need to punish Putin for violating Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty with the awareness that severe economic repercussions may not be enough to force the Russian autocrat to change course. In fact, officials say, Putin may use Western sanctions as a pretext to escalate the crisis. So far, allies have taken limited steps in responding to Russia, keeping more far-reaching economic sanctions in reserve as political pressure builds on them to take more robust action. On Monday, the White House announced that it would impose economic sanctions on Donetsk and Luhansk, the two separatist regions of Ukraine that Putin recognized as independent. But the administration held off on a larger package of sanctions, which had been agreed to in recent weeks by the leading members of NATO. Explaining that stance Monday evening, a senior administration official told reporters that it considered Russian tanks storming into the Donbas region of Ukraine not to be a provocation worthy of the administration’s most aggressive potential response. “Russia has had forces in the Donbas

region for the past eight years,” the senior administration official said. Implying that Putin’s actions did not yet cross the proverbial red line triggering the more severe package of sanctions, the administration official said the White House would instead calibrate its response to Russia’s actions, not Putin’s words. On Monday, Putin recognized two separatist-held enclaves in Ukraine as independent breakaway republics and ordered troops into those areas. He told his nation in a rambling speech Monday night that Ukraine was a Bolshevik-constructed amalgam created entirely by Russia. “Ukraine was never a true nation,” he said. Asked why sanctions weren’t stiffer right off the bat, Singh said they “are not an end in themselves . . . (but) meant to prevent and deter a largescale invasion of Ukraine that can involve the seizure of major cities, including Kyiv.” He added that stronger measures remained on the table, including barring Russia from the SWIFT global banking network, a high-security communications platform linking the world’s financial institutions, as well as export controls and additional sanctions against other Russian banks and oligarchs, including Putin. Germany took the first major step Tuesday toward punishing Putin, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz announcing that he has halted the process of certifying the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia, a still-incomplete project that Putin has coveted to gain greater leverage over Europe. The European Union followed Germany’s lead, enacting sanctions against 351 Russian legislators who voted in favor of recognizing separatist regions in Ukraine. It also imposed sanctions against 27 other Russian officials and institutions in the defense and banking sectors. They also sought to limit Moscow’s access to EU capital and financial markets. U.S. financial markets dropped quickly after the news from Berlin, clarifying how Americans and others around the world are likely to be affected by the conflict and its effect on energy markets. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s national security council, responded to Germany’s move in a tweet aimed at European

consumers: “Welcome to the brave new world where Europeans are very soon going to pay 2,000 (euros) for 1.000 cubic meters of natural gas.” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also took action Monday, slapping sanctions on five Russian banks and three wealthy oligarchs, individuals who have deep financial interests in energy and infrastructure, and who have already been sanctioned by Washington. Thus far, Republicans and Democrats alike have mostly backed Biden’s efforts to deter Putin. Now that those efforts seem to have failed, lawmakers in both parties have begun pushing the White House to respond with more vigor. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who led a bipartisan delegation to last weekend’s Munich Security Conference in Germany, said in a statement that Putin’s actions amounted to a declaration of war on Ukraine that “should immediately be met with forceful sanctions to destroy the ruble and crush the Russian oil and gas sector.” Numerous Democrats echoed that point of view. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told CNN that sanctions “need to be severe.” “We can stop equivocating as to whether we have an invasion or not,” he added. “I think the West – the United States – has to make it very clear to Putin that the consequences begin now.” Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said in an interview on CNN that “it’s time to ramp up the sanctions.” Given that Putin views Ukraine’s independence after the fall of the Soviet Union as a tragedy of Russian history – articulated clearly in his speech Monday – many analysts wonder if even the most serious of financial sanctions will be enough to dissuade him from a brazen effort to reconquer the former Soviet republic. Putin knows that the U.S. and its NATO allies will almost certainly not send troops to defend Ukraine. He has also worked to inoculate Russia’s economy against the inevitable sanctions that will result from a prolonged invasion by building its currency reserves and establishing deeper economic ties with Beijing.

She filed her nomination papers Thursday with the county Registrar of Voters. She has a number of issues on which her campaign is focused, including economic development and public safety, but homelessness is a top priority. “We definitely need to focus on our homelessness issue. That is on the forefront of everyone’s mind, but we can’t do it in silos,” Williams said. “It is a regional issue; it is a national issue.” She said that is why she chose to run for the 3rd District seat because she thinks the county needs to be more engaged on the issue with the cities.

Williams said it is not just about the individuals who are homeless, arguing it is an issue that affects public safety, business and other issues, so more resources are needed. Williams said she will not support the eighthcent sales tax increase proposed for wildfire issues unless it is specific to that issue. She said the general tax leaves it open to many other possible uses, so she wants the language to be very specific.

Teens arrested in killings of Detroit couple, 5-year-old in family home Tribune Content Agency DETROIT— Two teens have been arrested in connection with the killing of three people in a west-side home, including a 5-year-old boy who was shot multiple times days before his birthday, police said Tuesday. The suspects, ages 16 and 17, were arrested Monday and have been remanded to the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility as police prepare warrants seeking murder charges, Detroit Police Cmdr. Michael McGinnis said during a Tuesday press conference at Detroit Public Safety Headquarters. Citing the open investigation, McGinnis declined to release some details of the incident, including when the killings are thought to have happened or the possible motive, although Police Chief James White said whatever prompted the killings is immaterial. “It’s just inexcusable, whatever the issue was, to get that outraged, to bring a baby into this and kill him,” White said. A relative of one of the victims found the bodies at about 5 p.m. Sunday in a home in the 15300 block of Evergreen, McGinnis said. “A family member who hadn’t heard from their loved one for several days went to check . . . and ended up discovering their

loved one, his girlfriend and her 5-year-old son deceased in the house,” said McGinnis, who heads the department’s Major Crimes Section that includes the homicide unit. “The child had a birthday five days from now,” McGinnis said. “I imagine the family was preparing for a birthday celebration, and tragically, their plans changed. “Words can’t explain what it’s like to see a 5-year-old child lying deceased from gunshot wounds. It’s incredible how sad that is.” Because the suspects are juveniles, McGinnis said he couldn’t disclose whether they’d had prior contacts with law enforcement. Tips from the community led police to the two suspects, McGinnis said. “You are the reason why we were able to get so far in this investigation in such short order,” McGinnis said of the citizens who provided detectives with information. “Tips came in, we identified the suspects, and our apprehension team . . . took them into custody. “We’ve served multiple search warrants and we have high confidence that the individuals we’ve taken into custody are responsible (for the killings),” McGinnis said. “We’ll be submitting a warrant soon for prosecutors to review.”

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, February 23, 2022 A9

Experts: Omicron variant BA.2 does not appear to be worse than predecessors Tribune Content Agency A new variant of omicron is making the rounds, but indications are that in the U.S. at least, it’s not spreading very far. Health experts have been telling us there will be more iterations of the novel coronavirus and its variants, and now one of them, omicron BA.2 (as opposed to omicron BA.1, the original version), is delivering. But slight variability seems to be all that it is delivering, medical experts told the Daily News on Tuesday. This recently detected strain of the already highly transmissible omicron variant could itself be more contagious than its predecessor, health experts say. New research out of Japan this week suggests that it could also cause more severe disease, but that study has yet to be peer-reviewed. But other factors affect how that transmissibility plays out in the world. For instance, people who have recovered from the first version of omicron are probably

largely protected from BA.2, Dr. Jeremy Kamil, an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at Louisiana State University (LSU) Health Shreveport, where he leads Covid-19 sequencing, told the Daily News. Moreover, he said, the variant’s trajectory in places like Denmark, where it took over quickly as the dominant strain, does not seem to be happening here. “The thing that’s so important to stress is that people who have recently recovered from BA.1, in most cases they are not going to be infected by BA.2,” Kamil said. “The panic greatly exceeds the social media hype on this one. In places like the United States, where BA.1 had a huge head start, it ate BA.2′s lunch. So BA.2 is having to eat the crumbs.” That holds true for the New York region, where cases are plummeting and hospitalizations are way down, Dr. Peter Silver, chief quality officer and associate chief medical officer at Northwell

Health, told The News. Elsewhere in the country, where the vaccination rate might be lower, the caseload is still high. “I think there are still parts of the country, though that are still experiencing high rates of Covid, and we have to be conscious about that,” Silver told The News on Tuesday. A new variant was not unexpected, given that the more people who are infected, the more chance there is for the virus to mutate. But it does raise the question of what the impact will be on the ebbing of the pandemic, and whether it means another, perhaps more deadly, wave is in the offing. But that does not appear likely, Silver said. “In terms of severity of illness, transmissibility, it’s very, very similar,” Silver said, comparing omicron BA.2 to the original omicron. “I think what we’re waiting to see though, is if it’s causing a little bump in the incidence of Covid.” Though it may be a bit more contagious, “we

don’t necessarily think it’s much worse in terms of severity of illness,” Silver said. “We don’t think more people will end up in hospital than those with first omicron or that it will cause more death than first one. If anything it may cause a little bit of a bump, but maybe not even. We’re not overly concerned.” At the same time, Kamil emphasized that this does not make omicron, or any variant of Covid-19 infection, something to trifle with. “BA.1 is plenty dangerous,” Kamil said. “BA.1 is bad news, especially for unvaccinated people.” Though omicron may cause less severe illness, especially in people with vaccines and boosters, it’s by no means mild, Kamil said. “It’s fair to say the omicron variants were slightly less dangerous than delta,” Kamil said. “Delta was significantly more dangerous than omicron, but they’re all nasty viruses and not something you want to catch.”

Report: Madoff’s sister killed husband, then herself in Florida murder-suicide

1HZ 0$775(66 Tribune Content Agency

NEW YORK — Bernie Madoff’s sister, Sondra Wiener, allegedly fired the shots in the suspected murder-suicide that left her and her husband dead last week. Wiener, 87, shot husband Marvin, 90, then died by suicide,

BocaNewsNow.com reported. Police have not confirmed who shot who and a spokesperson for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office did not return a request for comment from the New York Daily News on Tuesday. An official cause of death is still pending

an investigation by the medical examiner’s office. The Wieners were found dead Thursday at their Valencia Lakes home in Boynton Beach, about 60 miles north of Miami, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Sunday. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue responded

to a call about a suicide attempt around 1 p.m., but found two people with gunshot wounds, according to BocaNewsNow.com. A gun was found at the scene. The couple’s family has already invoked Marsy’s Law, which protects the privacy rights of crime victims and their families.

Wood grad McKee wins SAC wrestling title for TWU Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

As a grad student, Drake McKee is wrapping up his collegiate wrestling career at Texas Wesleyan University in style. Two weeks after being named the Sooner Athletic Conference Wrestler of the week, the Will C. Wood High graduate went 4-0 to win the 174-pound title at the SAC Championships in Fort Worth, Texas. McKee won his crown in dominating fashion, never trailing in any of his four matches. He opened with a 16-0 technical fall over Brandon Chapin of Wayland Baptist before pinning Jarin Gomez of Central Christian in 2 minutes, 42 seconds, decisioning Tyler Estep of Central Christian, 11-4, and winning the championship with a 15-3 major decision over Tommy St. John of Wayland Baptist. McKee’s efforts helped Texas Wesleyan finish second in the team standings with 86 points to 99.5 for Oklahoma City University and made him one of eight Rams to qualify for the NAIA Nationals to be held in Wichita, Kansas, March 4-5. Cal Poly wrapped up its regular season with the Mustangs (4-3, 2-3 Pac-12) falling to Stanford, 23-14. Lawrence Saenz (Vacaville), ranked 30th in the nation, fell 5-0 to No. 4 Real Woods at 141 pounds.

Women’s gymnastics Ninth-ranked California quickly squashed any fears of a letdown after last week’s upset of No. 3 Utah by never trailing in a dominating 197.575-196.025 win over Arizona, recording its highest score of the season and tying for the sixth-best in program history. Nevaeh DeSouza (Vacaville, Dream Xtreme) finished second to teammate Maya Bordas in the all-around competition at 39.575, winning the vault (9.900), tying for fifth on bars (9.850), typing for fourth on beam (9.875) and fourth on floor (9.900). Madelyn Williams (Buckingham Charter, Dream Xtreme) likewise had another solid meet, tying for ninth on vault (9.750), finishing third on bars (9.875) and tying for fourth on beam (9.875).

Men’s basketball Phoenix Shackelford (Vanden) scored big and did a little bit of everything else to help Cal Poly Pomona (11-8, 7-8 CCAA) go 2-0 last week. In an 87-49 pounding of Cal Poly Humboldt, the former Viking amassed 22 points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal, while in a 77-63 win over Sonoma State he had 10 points, five steals, four assists, two rebounds and one block.

His shooting touch deserted him as he was 3-for-12 overall and 1-for-8 on 3-pointers in the loss to Westmont, finishing with eight points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal.

John Kuntz/Tribune Content Agency

Team Lebron James player Steph Curry is all smiles during a time out where he poured in a bunch of three-

point shots during the NBA All Star game, Sunday, at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

Will All-Star Game performance ignite Curry’s shooting for W’s? Tribune Content Agency Steph Curry has fallen out of the MVP conversation, but he secured at least one trophy for his cabinet over the weekend in Cleveland. Now, the only MVP trophy Curry needs to complete his trifecta is from the Finals. To get there, the Golden State Warriors might need a classic Curry conflagration. It might not get him back in the conversation for Maurice Podoloff’s statue, but the Warriors enter the final stretch of their season depleted and holding a slim lead on the No. 2 seed. With Klay Thompson still getting back to full strength and Draymond Green out for at least the next few weeks, can Curry carry the Warriors across the finish line (and, heck, maybe avoid his first season shooting below 40% from the behind the arc while he’s at it)? After Sunday night in the AllStar Game – stealing the show with a record-smashing 16 3-pointers – Curry reminded reporters gathered in Cleveland where the Warriors stand as they enter the final stage of the regular season.

“We’ve had a lot of injuries, and we haven’t been whole in a very long time,” Curry said. “When Klay came back, Draymond was out the same night. Still waiting on the three of us to take the floor again.” It has been 21 games since Thompson came back and Green departed, overlapping for only a ceremonial seven seconds. There remains no date set to expect all three to share the court together again. Could Curry’s magnificent showing Sunday night ignite the hot streak the Warriors need until they are whole again? Curry’s 34.8 minutes per game this season are his most in eight years, he has played in 54 of Golden State’s 59 games, and he is on pace to launch more shots than any previous season. But on Sunday night, Curry sat beside his All-Star MVP trophy speaking with a vigor for the stretch run to come. “It’s all kind of shaping up to try to peak at the right time,” Curry said. “To be in that conversation again after last two years that we’ve had, I’m pretty rejuvenated and excited to be back in that atmosphere.”

Curry’s midseason slump was the worst of his career, no doubt, but hitting a skid isn’t out of the ordinary. It’s common for Curry’s shot to hit a snag leading up to the All-Star break. Just as often, Curry heats up after the time off. Can we officially put the slump to sleep? According to Curry’s thinking, there was never one to begin with – just all part of a long season. “There’s not really a ‘past this.’ It’s just keep shooting. That’s just how I approach it,” Curry said earlier this month. “It’s not like when you’re hot and shooting 60% from 3, it’s never like that’s going to last. And whenever you dip, it’s not gonna last forever. . . . never really felt bad. It just didn’t really go in. There are certain tweaks and all that, but if it feels bad, then you don’t shoot.” Curry has had recent hot games that prove his shot wasn’t broken – three 30-point performances in his final eight games before the AllStar break: 7-of-14 from distance in one, 8-for-13 in another – but has also been plagued by inconSee Curry, Page B10

six-point halftime deficit to pull out a 73-64 quarterfinal victory over the No. 8 Cougars at Solano Community College, Monday. The Vikings (17-13) advance to the SJS semifinals where they will host No. 4 Manteca at Solano on Wednesday at 7 p.m. “We got off to an extremely slow start,” Vanden coach Micheal Holloway said. “We let their best player get loose in the first half.” Accounting for half of his team’s points at the break, Cook was the main reason his team held a 38-32 lead heading into the third quarter. “I told Tyler at halftime he was going to sacrifice points in order to guard No. 15 and he did a great job holding him to two points the second half,” Holloway said. “The third quarter we didn’t let him get off a shot.” Vanden wound up outscoring Center (18-9) 41-26 in the second half. Thompson finished with eight points, but the scoring slack was picked up by Sterling McClanahan, who netted a career-high 27 points and pulled down nine rebounds, while Takai Emerson-Hardy had 22 points and eight rebounds. By reaching the semifinals, the Vikings automatically qualify for the NorCal Regionals, which will be played in early March. Grant 68, Rodriguez 53: At Sacramento in the Division II quarterfinals, the 11th-seeded Mustangs (19-6) were outscored in all four quarters by the No. 3 Pacers (23-3), but hung tough throughout, trailing 17-11 after the first quarter and 33-23 at the half.

Banks warn customers to be alert against imitators who seek digital access codes diately, making recovery difficult, Friedlander said. “We will continue to work with other financial institutions and law enforcement in an effort to track down suspects and attempt to recover funds for our customers,” Friedlander said. On its website, Zelle draws a distinction between fraud and scams, saying a scam happens when a customer is “knowingly involved.” “Even if you were tricked or persuaded into authorizing a payment for a good or service someone said they were going to provide, but they didn’t fulfill it, this would be considered a scam,” Zelle warns. As a result, it tells customers they may not be able to get their money back. Wells Fargo told Morgan in writing that it asked the receiving financial institution to return her money. She said the bank added there was no guarantee that would happen. Customers at other banks are reporting similar scams. And on its website, Wells Fargo describes how such “bank imposter” scams unfold. The scammer contacts a person pretending to be someone from a bank and they often know some personal information, likely from social media, public records or a data breach. “Typically, they say that there is suspicious activity on your account and that to stop it you will need to provide an access code from a text or e-mail,” the Wells Fargo description said. “They may also ask for other information, such as a PIN or your username and password. Other times, you are told to send money to yourself to ‘reverse’ the payment.” Friedlander noted that Wells Fargo will not contact customers and ask them to send money to themselves or anyone else to prevent or stop fraud on their account. Wells Fargo warns customers not to share an access code, PIN or password with anyone who requests it. Wells Fargo said it only sends a code when prompted by an action a customer initiated, such as signing on to online banking or sending money.

Tribune Content Agency Margie Morgan was recently scammed out of $2,000 in a scheme involving Zelle digital payments and a woman who posed as a representative of Wells Fargo. Morgan, a food entrepreneur in Edina, Minnesota, fell victim to the scam because it was a new form of phishing, the practice of sending fraudulent communications that look real. It began as a text message to Morgan’s phone that appeared to be from Wells Fargo, but ultimately wasn’t. “I’m embarrassed at myself because I thought I was smarter than this,” she said. The texts asked Morgan if she had authorized money transfers from her account. Morgan hit “no” and immediately received a call from a woman who portrayed herself as a Wells Fargo representative. Morgan said she didn’t think much about it because she received legitimate phone calls from the bank and American Express in the past asking about fraudulent activity. The woman told Morgan that to recover the unauthorized transactions, Morgan would need to make reverse transfers to herself via Zelle. She followed the woman’s directions, which involved using a PIN the scammer gave her. But the money flowed out of her account, not into it. Morgan, 57, learned later from an actual Wells Fargo representative that she’d been duped out of $3,000. Wells Fargo was able to recover one $1,000 transfer but not a second transfer for $2,000, which had been processed, Morgan said. “I’ve been beside myself because I started a small business last year and $2,000 cleaned me out,” she said. Wells Fargo spokesman Kevin Friedlander said he couldn’t discuss the specifics of Morgan’s case, citing customer privacy and confidentiality.

Long Covid a big piece of the puzzle Tribune Content Agency The coronavirus that nearly killed Stephanie Schroeder in 2020 is still keeping her from working. She suffered cardiac arrest twice and was in the hospital for three months, then came home to more than a year of kidney problems and intermittent brain fog, tingling in her hands, numbness in her right foot and a need for oxygen after even modest exertion. “Some days, I’m all right, but I can’t tell you which days I will feel good,” she said. “It’s all very frustrating because you know what you were capable of doing before.” She is among many people with lingering Covid-19 aftereffects who cannot work or can only work part-time. The condition has been given a name: post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection, or PASC. But it is commonly called long Covid. It may be the missing piece in a pandemic puzzle: Why has the number of people in the labor force lagged? Why are there still so many unfilled job openings? Schroeder used to supervise nursing students. Lately the McDonough, Georgia resident has been volunteering to run concessions at some high school track meets, trying to edge back toward the workplace. “It gives me a sense of normalcy,” she said. “But after last Saturday’s meet, I was bedridden for two days.” While more than 900,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus, the vast majority of people who contract it do survive. But many – between 10% and 30% of those who live, experts say – continue to struggle with symptoms. That is a lot of people: up to 23 million nationwide, according to estimates by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Some don’t work. Some are still in the labor force, but at reduced hours. Linda Rodin, a wellness specialist at an

Up to 23 million nationwide suffer from long Covid, and many of them are having difficulty rejoining the work force. Atlanta-area supermarket, said she came down with Covid-19 in November. “I never had a fever, but it felt like the sinus infection from hell.” The worst of it passed, but the symptoms clung to her. At one point in December, she said she stopped at a gas station and realized she had no idea how to put gas in the car. “I went back home sobbing hysterically. Things you’ve done your whole life, like tie your shoes, and suddenly are inaccessible. It is terrifying.” She works parttime, grateful that her employer gave her that option. Long Covid does not appear explicitly in the labor data. But there are clues. n The labor force in Georgia is still 28,341 below its pre-pandemic level, and the real gap is larger. At the pace of pre-pandemic growth, the labor force would be about 184,000 larger than it is today. n The number of people with jobs but out sick averaged 50% higher last year nationally than in 2019. n The number of people nationally who usually work full-time but who are working parttime because of illness rose through last year. Since last summer, it has averaged 16% higher than pre-pandemic times. n The number of people who were out of the labor force with a disability is up 5.5%, or nearly 1.3 million, from the summer of 2020. n The Census Bureau’s most recent survey showed more than a quarter-million people in Georgia either sick or

caring for someone with coronavirus symptoms. Kathryn Bach, a research fellow at the Brookings Institution, who has studied the issue, calculated that long Covid accounts for about 1.6 million people missing from the U.S. labor force. That’s equivalent to at least 15% of the nation’s job openings. By her calculation, about 45,000 people in Georgia are missing from the labor force because of long Covid. “You could argue that my number is too low, I want to be conservative,” Bach said. “There is simply not enough data.” Some long-haulers stay in the labor force, but just barely. Joy McFather, a part-time teacher in Monroe County, Georgia, caught what she thought was a mild case of Covid-19 at Christmas of 2020 and hasn’t been free of it since. “It’s been a roller-coaster ride of fatigue and brain fog,” she said. “It’ll get better and some weeks I’m good, then I’ll hit the wall and it will get worse.” She’s taken 10 to 15 days off this past year, but has avoided any extended absences so far, she said. “I’ve been able to get myself through three days and on the fourth day, I crash.” Symptoms of long Covid include debilitating fatigue, shortness of breath, pain and a “brain fog” that makes it hard to focus. With most federal pandemic programs expired, a Covid “long-hauler” who cannot work can apply for disability. That challenging process is even tougher for a new disease, many of whose

worst symptoms – like brain fog – are invisible. Not everyone is convinced that long Covid is a large part of the labor shortage. Daniel Altman, chief economist at Instawork, an app for skilled hourly professionals, is among the skeptics. He said changes in the labor force do not match up with the waves of Covid-19 in the way you’d expect if each wave pushed people out of the workplace. Still, he acknowledged, the disconnect might be because of how the data are gathered. “We have found that the Department of Labor doesn’t do a great job of tracking people who are going into flexible work. If someone is in and out of work because of long Covid, they may not show up as part of the workforce in the official statistics,” he said. Megan Gaskin has worked with Covid-19 cases since the pandemic’s start as a physician’s assistant at Piedmont Healthcare in Austell, Georgia. “It goes away, it comes back. It produces thousands of sick days. It is a beast,” she said. When hit by the symptoms, about one in five can work from home, she said. Experts say early retirement is the biggest single reason for people leaving the labor force, and long Covid is part of that, Gaskin said. She estimates long Covid accounts for about a quarter of early retirements. More answers about the impact of long Covid are likely on the way. A four-year National Institutes of Health study has just begun that will include about 1,000 Atlanta-area participants, said Igho Ofotokun, professor of medicine at Emory University, who is working on the study. Long Covid is similar to some chronic diseases that doctors have seen before, and maybe in time, there will be effective treatments that send victims back to work, he said. “We don’t know enough yet to be able to tell.”

Kieran Goh, 8, creates an elixir in the Potions classroom at “Harry Potter: The Exhibition” at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Feb. 17.

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

rom a cupboard under the stairs in England to the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, a transfiguration spell has been cast on the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, turning the Center City museum into a magical maze of wizarding wonder for the world premiere of “Harry Potter: The Exhibition.” Running through September, the 20,000-square-foot show by Imagine Exhibitions is an interactive experience that gives muggles a chance to cast spells, play Quidditch and immerse themselves in endless photo opportunities (go ahead and sit at Dolores Umbridge’s desk, if you dare). Joining your Daily Prophet reporter (moi) on the scene for a media preview of the exhibit last week was 8-yearold Kieran Goh, an avid “Harry Potter” fan and proud Gryffindor house member whose mom, Kristen Graham, is an education reporter at The Inquirer. “It was so cool!” Kieran said. “I love the potions room.” While even Moaning Myrtle might have a hard time finding something to complain about the exhibit, there were still a few hiccups that seemed to be getting worked out last week. One or two of the interactive features weren’t clearly marked and some guests breezed through a room which, at first, appeared to be just an immersive Marauder’s Map, but later morphed into an enchanting scene of Hogwarts Castle through the seasons. During his opening remarks, Franklin president and CEO Larry Dubinksi said ticket presales for this exhibit have already exceeded presales for all other shows at the museum since 2007, when the Franklin hosted the King Tut exhibit. “Today is truly a magical day,” he said. “Let us all be very clear, the city of Philadelphia is open for business and this phenomenal exhibition will help. It

will draw people from near and far to Philadelphia.” The exhibit focuses mainly on the world created by the “Harry Potter” movies, the first of which premiered in November 2001. Very little is mentioned of the books that inspired the films, or of author J.K. Rowling, aside from a copy of the first North American edition of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” which is on display. Rowling remains a controversial figure following a series of anti-transgender tweets she posted in June 2020. Many of the actors who worked on the Harry Potter movies have condemned her remarks, including star Daniel Radcliffe, who responded to Rowling’s comments in an essay for The Trevor Project. At the Franklin Institute, guests enter “Harry Potter: The Exhibition” at King’s Cross Station, where they receive a wristband which is used to interact with Golden Snitch medallions in the exhibit. Visitors then pick a Hogwarts house, a wand and a Patronus at a touch-screen kiosk, choices which are then associated with the wristband and appear throughout the experience. While there’s no grand staircase to speak of, guests do walk down a hallway lined with paintings of figures that move, including one of the Fat Lady

who guards the entrance to Gryffindor Tower. The hallway opens up to a small rotunda, where galleries for each of the Hogwarts houses are set up to display costumes and props from the movies. But the real highlight of the exhibit are the Hogwarts classrooms, where guests can pot (and pull) screaming mandrakes in the Herbology Greenhouse or fight boggarts (shape-shifters who take the shape of one’s greatest fear) in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Each challenge successfully completed adds 10 points to a guest’s chosen house. This Ravenclaw’s personal favorite was the Divination classroom, where you could swipe your wristband and see yourself and your house and receive a prophecy by looking inside of a crystal ball (“Your potential is as big as the gourds in Hagrid’s pumpkin patch”). Kieran particularly loved the Potions classroom, where he spent time making potion after potion on a touch screen to rack up his score. “I’m going to get as many points for my house as I can!” he proclaimed. A game where kids are encouraged to throw balls through Quidditch goals could get interesting, depending on the number of kids involved, but Kieran quickly proved himself to be a Quidditch MVP. Like me, Kieran was excited to see floating candles in The Great Hall, but he was less impressed with Hagrid’s Hut and the Forbidden Forrest, where it was unclear if there were any interactive features. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10 screaming mandrakes, Kieran gave the exhibit a solid 9. “It was really cool and you got to have a wristband that let you touch the Golden Snitches and it was an interactive experience,” he said. “I would definitely tell my friends to come.”

West’s opening was a textbook weak two-bid, showing a good six-card suit and some 6-10 high-card points. West led the spade king, which South ducked, and continued with the spade queen. After winning with his ace, South ran the diamond queen. East won with the king and shifted to the heart seven, top of nothing. South immediately claimed nine tricks: one spade, four hearts and four diamonds. There was a groan from West audible halfway across the continent. “Why didn’t you switch to a club? He goes down three.” “Because you told me to lead a heart,” replied East. “How did I do that?” “By leading the spade queen at trick two. If you had led the spade jack, the lower of your two remaining honors, I would have returned a club.” West had one last arrow in his quiver. “But a club return couldn’t cost. If I have the heart ace, I must get in before declarer has run nine tricks.” “That isn’t true if South has 2=2=5=4 distribution and the club jack. Unlikely, yes, but I preferred to trust your play.” COPYRIGHT: 2022, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Oliver’s ‘Last Week Tonight’ returns for new season Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — John Oliver is looking for laughs, and promising the truth. The funnyman returned to HBO Sunday night with the premiere episode of an all new season of “Last Week Tonight.” While Oliver is hoping the show’s ninth season is funny, he’s determined to make sure it’s at least factual. He worries there isn’t a lot of that going on these days. “It’s not just (Joe) Rogan,” Oliver said. “It feels like there’s a much broader problem with people on podcasts and on TV very confidently passing along horses–. Whether they know it’s horses – or not, at some point, it doesn’t matter.” The 44-year-old comic famously skewered factchallenged Fox News star Tucker Carlson in a definitive TV moment last season. He can’t say whether or not Rogan will be in his crosshairs in coming months. But Oliver is interested in Spotify – the streaming outlet that carries “The Joe Rogan Experience” – being a “pretty visceral example of platforms that decide to be publishers” by paying Rogan a ton of cash, while dodging accountability for the things he says and does. According to Oliver, his show’s researchers are usually working on a half-dozen investigative segments at a time with the goal of churning out 30 episodes per season. Not every report proves solid enough to broadcast, so he moves on. “If I was Joe Rogan, and I am not emotionally or physically, I would employ a research department if I want to confidently say things and not just sit with a laptop next to me f– ing googling stuff as it occurs to me,” Oliver said. “I would be mortified if I passed on bad information.” Last March, Oliver took aim at Carlson and Fox News, soundly labeling the conspiracytheory-spouting cable host as a vessel for white-supremacist rhetoric. Oliver said that when making that episode, he

decided it would be more effective to paint a big picture of Carlson than chasing the “drip, drip, drip” of the right-wing prime time host’s daily sound bytes. “We felt there was a benefit to pulling it back a little bit so you’re not just reacting to what he said this week,” Oliver explained. “You’re getting a picture of what he says all the time and the broader argument he’s making.” That argument of racial supremacy, Oliver said, “is completely consistent and absolutely horrific.” In 2020, Oliver’s show dragged the far-right cable outlet OANN over the coals for its sensational, agenda-driven programming. Now that the network is being sued over its shoddy election “fraud” coverage and dropped by its largest television distributor, Oliver feels no remorse. “For humanity? No I don’t,” he smirked. “For the individuals involved? No, I don’t. For the audience? No. I still don’t.” When an outlet like OANN gets kneecapped, another one simply takes its place, according to Oliver, the damage is already done. “To the extent that they were acting as a sort of 100-proof Fox News, as soon as someone realizes that people will drink 100-proof Fox News, someone else is going to manufacture it for them,” he said. “Because at the end of the day, America is nothing if not a country that honors supply and demand.” Oliver, a Birmingham, England, native, became a U.S. citizen in 2019. While much of his show focuses on the issues his adopted nation faces, some of it is pure comedy. Throughout 2020, Oliver repeatedly made comments about how attractive he found Adam Driver, calling the actor a “brooding mountain.” That season ended with a seemingly faux-agitated Driver appearing on the show telling the silly host to knock it off. Oliver said he hasn’t heard from the “rudely large man” since.

COMMENTARY

World awake to China and Russia’s malign ambitions

T

he world is fully awake to the malign ambitions of the new axis of evil from Tehran to Moscow to Beijing – and none too soon. That was the overlooked lesson in the rejection of the “Genocide Games” by audiences in the West. These Olympics were a disaster for broadcaster NBC and the sponsors. Prime-time viewership plummeted more than 40% from four years ago, hitting record lows. Even the few ratings bright spots, such as the Canada-U.S. women’s hockey gold medal game, demonstrated that viewers were picking their spots in ways that made clear they were watching despite the host government. I knew about the game only because my friend John Ondrasik told me he would be watching this single Olympic event. As demonstrated by the name of his band/ brand, Five for Fighting, Ondrasik has a deep love of hockey. I do Hugh Hewitt not share this particular bug, but of course 1980’s “Miracle on Ice” planted in every American a love of Olympic hockey that lasted for four-plus decades. Not this year, though. Even a hardcore enthusiast such as Ondrasik was willing to tune in to only a single game, when the International Olympic Committee worked hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party’s fanatical, totalitarian regime. “The fact TV sets were turned off in the huge North American market should send a message to the IOC in the only money that gets their attention,” wrote the Montreal Gazette’s Jack Todd. “If the 2022 Olympics drew an audience on this continent that was barely half that of 2018 in Korea, the time difference was not the problem. China’s appalling human-rights record was.” The ratings failure of the Genocide Games made clear that China has become a pariah state, even though Hollywood, NBC, the NBA, all the corporate sponsors and Wall Street won’t admit this out loud. Like Russia, Iran and North Korea, China has become for most Americans a repulsive and deformed regime. Its ruling Communist Party is a nightmare for the people under its boot and increasingly for the world. Anyone covering the Olympics who didn’t mention or who played down the human rights evils of this regime is complicit in the suffering in the Uyghur camps, the destruction of Tibet, the crushing of Hong Kong and the menacing of Taiwan. Citizens of China and Chinese expats around the world know the regime is fully Stalinist and will disappear anyone it needs to. The world should not have been there even if everyone knew it was about the money. The stain will never rub off the sponsors or the IOC. But while Western governments haven’t been entirely silent, they have not called attention to political prisoners in China in the way they lifted up Soviet dissidents in the final years of that odious regime. Only the Uyghur camps are well known. Political prisoners such as Hong Kong’s Jimmy Lai essentially disappear into prison. During the Cold War, Americans knew of dissidents by their names: Solzhenitsyn, Sakharov, Sharansky, Bukovsky and more. Lai might be the most visible of the Chines Communist Party’s political prisoners, but if anyone heard his name in the United States in the past two weeks, it was likely by accident. Another tyrant atop another regime – Vladimir Putin – has political prisoners, too, and those he has ordered assassinated. So does Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran. But again, the West does not seem to advocate for these victims and prisoners like the Cold War dissidents. Certainly the idea of billions of dollars in sanctions relief to Tehran would not have occurred to Ronald Reagan or Jimmy Carter. But President Joe Biden’s national security team seems poised to follow up on the collapse in Afghanistan and the imminent conquest of Ukraine with a new “Iran deal,” completing a hat trick of capitulations with the worst appeasement yet. If Putin topples the freely elected government of Ukraine, that government will go into exile and should, like the governments of the nations toppled by the Nazis, be recognized by the West as the legitimate government of that country for as long as it takes to return. Former national security adviser Robert C. O’Brien has been making this argument for weeks, and it’s starting to get traction. That’s not a “sanction” that Putin can calculate or ignore, but rather a signal – like the rejection of the Genocide Games – that the screw has turned in the West. Hugh Hewitt, a Washington Post contributing columnist, hosts a nationally syndicated radio show on the Salem Network. The author of 14 books about politics, history and faith, he is also a political analyst for NBC, president of the Nixon Foundation and a professor of law at Chapman University Law School, where he has taught constitutional law since 1996.

once again the hard policy decisions the growing crisis requires, such as increasing supply through desalination and wastewater reclamation, reallocating the existing supply among competing uses, and/ or building more storage to capture winter rains as mountain snow packs shrink. Each of those specific strategies carries the potential for bitter political infighting as the state’s many competing water interests seek to protect or even expand their claims on supply but postponing the day of reckoning just sharpens the inevitable clashes. We are already years overdue for acting on the water conundrum. Rearranging the water bureaucracy, as Hurtado proposes, is probably needed, but unto itself would not address the overarching issue of supply and demand. It should be done to implement the needed policy decisions, if and when they occur, and doesn’t need a blue ribbon commission to accomplish. Hurtado represents an agricultural San Joaquin Valley district that is keenly feeling the impact of drought, so it’s natural that she wants to do something, but SB 1219 is just feel-good fodder for a press release, not the concrete action the situation demands.

time before cutting ties to their tormentors and setting up shop as an independent nation. But having no experience at independence, Ukrainians have found this to be a rocky road. A clear-eyed master strategist would look on this story and see that Stalin’s brutality in Ukraine (as elsewhere) failed to achieve its objective. Millions of deaths and forced relocations did not solve the question of Ukrainian identity in the way Stalin had in mind. Instead, if anything, it deepened the desire of Ukrainians to be free. Putin appears determined to try the same thing Stalin tried – first by taking back Crimea, which he did in 2014, then by combining it with Ukraine under Russian domination. But he seems to expect a different result, which is one definition of insanity. Those who say the United States and its allies somehow brought on this crisis are misguided. Geography is destiny, and Ukraine’s location means it will be fought over unless it is protected by a robust commitment to peace. Putin has no such commitment. In its response, the West must keep a grip on reality. The way to deal with a Stalin wannabe is the same way the world dealt with the original: Surround, contain and hold that line with steely patience. It’s crazy to think the Cold War is resuming – but that appears to be exactly what is happening. The same alliance that won the first time will win again, if only the West can keep its wits.

Curry enters the Warriors’ final 23 games on pace for the worst shooting season of his career – a year defined by his pursuit of the 3-point record – by a pretty wide margin, too. He has never shot worse than 41.1% from distance over the course of a full season and sits at 37.9% coming out of the All-Star break (sorry, Steph, the 16-for-27 on Sunday doesn’t count). So, what would it take to at least get him over the 40% mark? Curry is taking 12.3 3-pointers per game this season. That averages out to about 283 remaining 3-point attempts over the final 23 games. He would have to hit them at a clip of 45% to get there at that pace – which would also result in the second-most 3s made in any season in NBA history (378, falling short of his own record of 402). That’s hardly a dif-

ficult feat to imagine for the greatest 3-point assassin the world has ever seen – he’s made 3s at that clip twice over the course of a full season. But it would take a step up from even clip that garnered him MVP chants at nearly every arena he visited early this season, before the skid. Curry’s best two AllStar showings have come the past two years. As an eight-timer, he understands the ins and outs of All-Star weekend now, he explained, and set his sights on the MVP trophy, an honor he’d never taken home before. “You understand the nuances of the game and how different guys approach it. Guys get hot and they put on a show,” he said. “Once I kind of knew I was feeling it, you kind of wanted to ride that wave and see how it ended up.” Last season, Curry dropped 28 in the AllStar Game – modest in comparison to this year but then a personal best – then got red-hot down the stretch, upping his scoring average to 34.9 per game after the break and leading the Warriors to 15 wins in their final 21 games.
