Russia widens its attack on Ukraine

‘We now have war in Europe’ Tribune Content Agency KHARKIV, Ukraine — Russia pressed ahead with its assault on neighboring Ukraine on Thursday, with explosions resounding in cities across the country, airstrikes crippling its defenses and reports of troops crossing the border by land and sea.

An adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister said on Facebook that Russian missiles had struck Ukrainian military command centers, air bases and depots in the capital, Kyiv, and in the major cities of Kharkiv and Dnipro.

The government acknowledged that Russian forces had taken control of Chernobyl, the city north of Kyiv that was the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident, raising fears of a possible escape of radioactive material.

Ukraine’s interior ministry also confirmed that Russian troops had taken a strategic international airport barely 10 miles outside Kyiv.

Huge traffic snarls formed as residents tried to flee the capital. Video showed Russian armored vehicles advancing into mainland Ukraine from Crimea, the peninsula that Moscow illegally seized eight years ago.

of Russian military strikes, which according to the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, killed at least 40 in the early attacks.

The White House called it an “unprovoked and unjustified” assault, while Russian President Vladimir Putin called it a “special military operation” aimed at the “demilitarization and de-Nazification” of the country.

The terminology is particularly poignant because Adolf Hitler established the Werwolf in Vynnitsya, his headquarters of that region.

VACAVILLE — A Vacaville woman who still has family in Ukraine said despite weeks of military buildup, rhetoric and international warnings, she was still surprised with Thursday’s pre-dawn attacks and invasion.

“You know the saying, ‘hope dies last,’ ” Alina Adams said in a phone interview Thursday.

Adams was born in Vynnitsya – or Vinnitsa as it also has come to be known. It is a city of about 400,000 people located in west-central Ukraine on the Southern Bug River. Its history dates back to the 14th century.

It is the home of the Multimedia Fountain Roshen, one of the largest floating fountains in Europe, that includes a water display and show accompanied by music, light and laser effects.

Adams’ mother, sister, niece, cousins and lots of friends still live in Ukraine. She met her husband, Francis, there when he was traveling through the country.

They were married and she moved to Vacaville in May 2001. She is the owner of Alina’s Music Studio, where she teaches violin, piano and voice.

She herself is a violinist.

Her brother-in-law is in the Ukrainian military.

At the “Local Legends” shoot, we talked first about Johnny’s latest project, a reenvisioning of his 2012 album “I Hear Voices.” Called “I Hear Other Voices!! (Hardly Strictly A Cappella),” it features stripped-down-to-their-soulful-essence versions of classic tunes like “Little Bitty Pretty One,” “Lover Please,” “Let Me In,” “So Much in Love” and more. One of the highlights is the guest vocal by then-15year-old Vallejo resident Gabi Wilson, now known as multiple Grammy-winning artist H.E.R., on “Slow Twistin’,” an old Chubby Checker tune.

But being old school, I wanted to dig deep back into Johnny’s roots growing up here and have him relay several of those stories. Now I did know a lot of his tales from bygone days, but he still surprised me

with little nuggets, like the fact Sly Stone hired him without hearing him play a single note.

The night before the interview, I did some last-minute preparation and discovered that Johnny had sung background vocals on Heart’s 1985 eponymously named album on the songs “Nothin’ At All” and “These Dreams.” The latter is one of my favorite tunes by the Seattle Wilson sisters and I fought the urge to ask Johnny to sing a few bars of the chorus live.

We delved into his old local bands like the Furlanders, The Yewess Army and Cottonmouth as well as their contemporaries like Project Soul, who later became Con Funk Shun.

I think we were only supposed to do a half-hour show, but we just kept yakkin’ and the edited version (that removed our oopsies) is about 40 minutes long.

After we were done with the interview, the city folks took

me and Johnny on a tour of the college’s brand spanking new state-of-the-art studio that we will be using for future shows.

The only thing I was disappointed in is they didn’t use one of those clapperboard thingies before the start of filming to make me feel important. You know, “Local Legends: Johnny Colla, take 76.” CLACK! I demand compensation for that slight. $0 ought to cover it nicely.

Marina Village affordable housing project in Suisun breaks ground Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

SUISUN CITY — The second ceremony to break ground, in as many weeks, of an affordable housing project in the FairfieldSuisun City area took place Thursday.

“Our ground-breaking ceremony (marks) a momentous milestone for the Solano Affordable Housing Foundation as we work to revitalize and develop affordable housing options for residents in Solano County,” Don Harris, executive director of the foundation, said in a statement.

The Marina Village Apartments project, when completed, will include nine three-story, gardenstyle residential buildings, one single-story community building, a laundry facility and 220 on-site parking spaces. It is expected to be ready for residents in March 2024.

Suisun City Mayor Lori Wilson speaks during a Solano Affordable Housing Foundation groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of Marina Village, Thursday.

The project cost is about $70 million. Public funding sources include about $11 million in state and federal tax credits, about $37 million in tax exempt bonds and about $2 million in permanent loan financing from the California Housing Finance Agency, according to information provided by Harris.

The complex will

have 159 rental units, with 39 one-bedroom, 55 two-bedroom, 50 three-bedroom and 16 four-bedroom units, the foundation reported.

The development, located at 201 Marina Blvd., will target individuals and families earning between 30% to 70% of area’s median income, the foundation reported.

The ceremony to

break ground follows a similar county-city event last week in Fairfield of the Fair Havens Commons project by MidPen Housing.

The $40.4 million project, located at 1695 Sunset Ave., is expected to be completed by the spring of 2023.

Fair Haven will provide 72 affordable rental apartments, including 44 units set aside for households who are at risk or experiencing homelessness and have other supportive housing needs.

The project includes six studios, 30 one-bedroom, 30 two-bedroom and six three-bedroom apartments, also for households earning up to 60% of the area’s median income.

Amenities include a community room, secured bicycle parking, and passive and active outdoor recreation areas.

Pride Center receives Horizon grant Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VALLEJO — The Solano Pride Center, with headquarters in Vallejo, received a $15,000 community grant from the Horizon’s Foundation.

The center supports the well-being among the members of the LGBTQ community in Solano County. The grant was one of 31 totaling $400,000 awarded to grassroots organizations.

“Grassroots LGBTQ nonprofits continue to develop innovative ways to serve the community, especially groups that are traditionally underfunded and underserved,” Francisco O. Buchting, Horizons’ vice president of Grants, Programs and Communications, said in

a statement.

The statement said these grants will support advocacy and civil rights, arts and culture, community building and leadership, and health and human services, and focus on a variety of projects, such as: n Funding genderaffirming surgery for transmen of color. Dem Bois Inc. is aiding femaleto-male, transmasculine people of color in obtaining gender-affirming surgery, which is often prohibitively expensive yet critical to their ability to live fulfilled, authentic lives. n Providing housing to LGBTQ asylum seekers.

In response to the ongoing need to support LGBTQ people seeking refuge from persecution abroad,

FAIRFIELD — Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said Wednesday that Solano County could be headed for a “longer period of lower levels” of the Covid-19 disease.

“I think at this point we are beyond the omicron surge,” Matyas said by telephone.

“Winter is when we anticipate another surge.”

Matyas said there have been smaller summer surges the past two years, but he MATYAS doesn’t anticipate that happening this time.

“If it does, it will be milder than last year, unless there is a new variant that is more transmittable,” he said.

Matyas said winter booster shots for Covid could become the norm in coming years, just like the annual flu shots.

A long stretch of lower case numbers could also provide the county and state with reasons to continue to relax mask mandates further, Matyas said.

Solano County did not provide a Monday report because of the Presidents Day holiday, so the new case count since Friday was up 808 to a total of 79,026.

Only 312 of those are new cases, Matyas said, with the other 496 being added into the overall total from January.

The case average over the past five days has been 62 per day.

There have been two new deaths since Friday for an overall total of 396. Both cases were men over the age of 65, living in the community with significant underlying health issues. One man was vaccinated, the other was not.

The number of people hospitalized due to the disease dropped from 50 Friday to 43 Wednesday, with the number of those in ICU also falling from 16 to 14. That total is down significantly

from the high of 165 in mid-January.

Vaccination rates held steady for residents 5 and older at 72%.

The number of residents with at least one shot remained at 81%.

There were 1,930 residents who received booster shots in the past five days, sending the overall total to 144,855.

All seven cities in the county saw their vaccination rates improve.

Rio Vista continues to have the highest vaccination rate in the county at 99.2%. Vacaville has the lowest at 75.1%.

The other vaccination numbers have Benicia at 88.1%, Vallejo at 88%, Dixon checking in at 83.8%, Fairfield at 83.3% and Suisun City at 76.9%.

Fairfield picked up the highest number of new cases with 402 for a total of 21,101. Vacaville had 222 new cases for 19,318, Vallejo added 153 for a total of 24,668 and Dixon had 117 new cases for 4,126.

The rest of the county had a smaller number of new cases. Suisun City picked up 71 new cases for a total of 5,552 and Benicia had 23 new cases for 3,004. Rio Vista added three for 1,006 and there were three new cases in unincorporated Solano County for a total of 191.

The seven-day testing positivity rate dipped from 13% Friday to 11% Wednesday.

Case totals represent those reported to the county and state health agencies, such as results from various testing sites in the community, or from local medical offices and pharmacies.

They do no include results from home test kits people use at home since there’s no requirement for people to report those results in the county or state.

Solano County does not post results on Thursday. The next scheduled report will be late afternoon Friday.

of our communities, according to the release, including the formerly incarcerated, people at low income levels and people of color.

For many of the roughly 50,000 formerly incarcerated people whose voting rights were restored by voters by Proposition 17 in 2020, confusion still hampers their engagement.

AB 2576 creates the Civic Learning, Outreach and Engagement Fund for

the Office of the Secretary of State to provide additional support to counties with the lowest voter registration rates, according to the press release. It offers these counties the opportunity to conduct outreach and education catered to the needs of the communities they serve. The bill would also increase civic education and engagement for young people.

“Voting is the most basic right and responsi-

bility in American life,” Aguiar-Curry said in the release. “There is no excuse in 2022 for large numbers of eligible voters to remain outside the system. We can do better.

Our democracy is most vibrant, and safe, when more people participate in choosing the people who represent them.

“And, as we strive to include those who are eligible, we need to do a better job of exciting our young people about the

opportunity to be the next generation of voters and leaders,” Aguiar-Curry said in the release. “For them, we need to make voting and community engagement an accessible habit.”

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

Thompson and Johnson said it is a clear reminder of the importance of the doping agency to protect U.S. athletes and promote clean sports.

The House passed bipartisan legislation (House Resolution 172) last April to reauthorize the USADA through 2029. But Thompson’s letter states the legislation has “languished in Senate for the past 10 months” and he and Johnson recommend

the agency be reauthorized in “any upcoming spending bill.”

heart embrace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You, at full concentration, are a powerful force. But if you divide yourself among too many responsibilities, there won’t be enough of you to create impact in any single role.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

As a result of your ambition, you’ll set lofty goals that you’re unlikely to achieve. Even so, you’ll get further than if you hadn’t aimed so high. All success is significant, and your spirits stay high as you interpret it as such.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’ll attend events your friends invite you to. The Scandinavian proverb applies: Go often to the house of thy friend; for weeds soon choke up

the unused path.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). The crowd takes notice . . . you’re in excellent form.

You’ll interact with someone who is clearly enchanted by you, and you can soak it up without worry. You offer excellent attention and should expect the same from others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Your life and work experiences will prove useful.

A profound impact can be made without even telling your story.

Rather, you influence others through your example.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Today’s challenges require boldness. Your bravery, your support of what you believe is right and your facilitation of justice make you indispensable.

It will be easy to sleep tonight, knowing that you put in a solid day’s work.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Though Capricorn is a power player who often takes charge, Pisces is feeling the cosmic surge of solar authority and will lead this couple through a blissful weekend. There doesn’t have to be much going on to keep these two entertained, as they will be captivated by one another. Conversation goes high and low, silly and deep, but it’s something intangible that cements their sweet bond now.

West had a fairly normal preemptive opening, though there was a risk he would miss a superior major-suit fit.

South had a respectable three-heart balancing overcall, and North had an easy raise to game.

On lead against four hearts, West paused to consider his options. It looked as though he would do best to put partner on lead and receive a diamond ruff in return. But how could he achieve this aim? He spotted one possibility – admittedly slightly risky – and went for it: He led the club two.

Now the spotlight moved to East.

He knew the lead wasn’t fourth-highest. From the unusual low-spot-card lead, East deduced that his partner had a void in diamonds, the lower-ranking side suit. Expecting West to have the king of his suit for a vulnerable preempt missing the ace and queen, East made the fine play of the club queen at trick one. When that held the trick, East switched to the diamond four. West ruffed, put his partner on play with another club and received a second diamond ruff to defeat the contract. Nicely done!

Middleton says she often jokes about having another baby Tribune Content Agency Kate Middleton just wants more, more, more.

More babies, that is.

The Duchess of Cambridge visited the Children’s Museum in Copenhagen on Tuesday and teasingly said that meeting babies makes her “very broody.”

She then revealed that she often jokes with her husband, Prince William, about “having another one.”

Already the mother of 8-year-old Prince George, 6-year-old Princess Charlotte and 3-year-old Prince Louis, the 40-year-old royal visited the city of fairytales to learn about Denmark’s approach to the early years of development in children.

pendent, the Duchess met two 8-month-old baby boys and their parents and joked: “It makes me very broody.

During the two-day fact-finding visit, the duchess also praised proactive pappies for taking time off work to be with their babies and shared how feeling “insecure” about parenting was a universal struggle among mothers and fathers.

“There is so much joy and happiness associated with having a newborn baby but actually people don’t necessarily talk about the worry or the anxiety that comes with having a newborn, and particularly if you are noticing things with your own child that you feel you are worried about,” she said.

district of Minnesota, declined to take questions, including what length of sentence prosecutors would request for the three.

Kueng and Thao were convicted of failing to intervene on Floyd’s behalf as he pleaded for his life and repeatedly said he couldn’t breathe while pinned under the knee of former Officer Derek Chauvin for more than nine minutes.

Along with Lane, Kueng and Thao were also convicted of violating Floyd’s constitutional rights by failing to render aid during the restraint captured on a bystander video that fueled global unrest and a racial reckoning.

Having found the officers guilty, the jury also was asked whether Floyd’s restraint caused his death. The jury answered yes, allowing the judge to give the former cops longer sentences if he chooses.

Biden From Page One members,” but not Putin himself, although the U.S. president said that option was still “on the table.”

The announcement came hours after Russia launched an all-out assault on Ukraine, with troops and tanks advancing across the border and Russian missiles and artillery fire hitting strategic installations. Putin ordered the attack despite weeks of diplomacy by the U.S. and its allies that sought to forestall a war Biden said was brought “without provocation, without justification, without necessity.”

The administration in recent days has imposed an escalating series of sanctions on Moscow, and Ukrainian officials and some U.S. lawmakers were hoping Biden would strike an even tougher blow Thursday to Russia’s economy.

But Biden opted not to sanction Russian energy giant Rosneft and instead focused this round of economic penalties on financial institutions, largely to avoid disrupting global energy markets, a concern the president articulated.

“As we respond, my administration is using the tools, every tool to protect American families and businesses from rising prices at the gas pump,” he said.

Biden also confirmed his administration would not seek to bar Russia from using SWIFT, the global financial messaging network that connects more than 11,000 banks.

Ukrainian officials, including the country’s president, have been vocal in urging Biden to block Russia from SWIFT, an action analysts say would have devastating consequences for Russia’s economy.

Administration officials did not take that step because they were concerned it might cause global energy prices to spike, according to an

“My country, with all the people I talk to, is very strong; the spirit is very strong,” Adams said.

But this is not all that new for Ukrainians.

She said the country has been at war with

on June 13 in Hennepin County District Court where they are accused of aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter.

Chauvin has already been convicted in both state and federal court.

He pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in December to violating Floyd’s constitutional rights, but has yet to be sentenced on that crime. He was convicted of Floyd’s murder last April and sentenced to more than 22 years in prison. Chauvin is being held in the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Oak Park Heights.

Jury selection in the trial of Kueng, Lane and Thao began in late January. Lawyers made their opening statements Jan. 24 and closing arguments Tuesday. The prosecution put 21 witnesses on the stand. The defense attorneys called 11 witnesses, including all three defendants.

Jurors began deliberations in the case just before 10 a.m. Wednesday and worked about 13 hours before reaching their verdict just before 4 p.m. Thursday.

Floyd died on Memorial Day in the custody of

the officers. The following day, police Chief Medaria Arradondo fired all four officers as the video shot by teenage bystander Darnella Frazier ricocheted around the world on social media.

Kueng and Lane were first on the scene at the convenience store on a report from a clerk that Floyd has used a counterfeit $20 to buy a pack of cigarettes. They first approached him in his Mercedes SUV on the street and cuffed his hands behind his back before walking him across the street and trying to get him into the back of a squad vehicle.

As Kueng and Lane struggled to get an upset Floyd into the backseat, Chauvin and Thao arrived to help. With Thao standing watch, the other three officers placed a handcuffed Floyd prone on the street.

Floyd repeatedly said he couldn’t breathe while Chauvin put his knee on the back of Floyd’s neck, pressing the side of his face into the street.

Kueng held down Floyd’s lower back area while Lane controlled his legs.

Thao remained standing, holding back an

increasingly angry group of bystanders on the curb who pleaded for them to relent or check Floyd’s pulse.

In his instructions to the jury before deliberations, Magnuson told jurors they must view the evidence in light of what a “reasonable officer at the scene” would have done “without the benefit of 20-20 hindsight.”

He told them they must consider whether the decision to use force on Floyd was reasonable under circumstances that were tense and rapidly evolving.

It violates the Constitution for a police officer to fail to intervene if he had knowledge the force was unreasonable and ability to help, Magnuson said.

The jurors, all 12 of whom are white, come from all over the state. Eight are women and four are men. Two each are from Hennepin, Ramsey and Olmsted counties.

One juror each is from the following counties: Anoka, Blue Earth, Washington, Jackson, Nicollet and Scott.

administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations.

Getting several European nations to agree to such a move has also been difficult because their economies are so intertwined with Russia’s, the official said.

Taking questions after delivering remarks, Biden conceded the impasse over SWIFT. “It is always an option, but right now that’s not the position that the rest of Europe wishes to take,” he said, asserting that the sanctions the administration was imposing would be just as consequential as blocking Russia from SWIFT. “There’s a conscious decision to pull a few punches,” said Jeff Schott, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a think tank based in Washington.

Schott said that allowing the sale of oil and gas to continue to Europe when prices are spiking – thanks to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – means that Russian companies and the Russian government are “making windfall profits.” The sanctions on financial institutions and high-tech exports to Russia will have a corrosive effect on the nation’s economy, damaging its productivity and growth while degrading its military capabilities over time, Schott said.

“Putin has worked on establishing a cushion against international sanctions,” Schott added, “but you can’t sanctionsproof an economy as focused on raw materials as the Russian economy.”

In Washington, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle expressed dismay that the sanctions weren’t stronger. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, had pushed for banning Russia from SWIFT. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who had previously given the White House high

marks for its approach to Putin, criticized Biden harshly for not imposing sanctions sooner. “Deterrence after the fact is not deterrence at all,” he said in a statement.

Declaring the West to be “more united than it’s ever been,” Biden said the U.S. response “will limit Russia’s ability to do business in dollars, euros, pounds and yen.” Biden also reiterated America’s commitment to Article 5 of NATO, an implicit warning to Putin that any invasion of NATO countries outside Ukraine will be met with military force.

“This is a complete rupture now in U.S.-Russia relations,” Biden said during a back-and-forth with reporters shouting questions following his remarks.

Following Biden’s remarks, the Pentagon announced the deployment of 7,000 additional U.S. service members to Europe, an effort to shore up defenses around NATO’s eastern flank countries, along Russia’s western border.

Biden also pushed back on the suggestion that his approach on sanctions was meant to prevent the invasion itself. “No one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening,” he said. “This could take time, and we have to show resolve so he knows what’s coming and so the people of Russia know what he’s brought on them.”

He added: “Let’s see in another month or so if (the sanctions) are working.”

A senior Pentagon official said Thursday that Russia’s assault on Ukraine, the first major conflict on European soil in more than 70 years, was only just beginning.

“What we’re seeing are initial phases of a large-scale invasion,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

The official said Russia appeared to be advancing in a three-pronged land assault on Ukraine from the east and from two

regions in Belarus with a clear goal: to “decapitate” the Ukrainian government and replace it with people friendly to the Kremlin.

The White House in recent days has ordered sanctions that officials said would target Russian financial institutions and a few of the country’s elites and their family members, including the head of Russia’s Federal Security Service. The administration held back its stiffest measures and said it would escalate if and when Putin’s invasion ramped up.

“President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering,” Biden said in a statement Wednesday night.

“Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way. The world will hold Russia accountable.”

Biden spent the morning meeting with his National Security Council and conferring via videoconference with Group of 7 allies.

On Wednesday, Biden said he would allow previously blocked sanctions to take effect against the company behind the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which was built to transport natural gas from Russia directly to Germany. The U.S. “will not hesitate to take further steps if Russia continues to escalate,” he said in a statement.

The announcement came a day after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he had taken steps to halt the process of certifying the pipeline, which has yet to begin operating.

The sanctions are being imposed while the Kremlin has pressed ahead with its assault on Ukraine, with explosions heard in cities across the country as Russian troops crossed the border by land and sea, despite Moscow’s denials that an invasion was planned.

Russia since 2014.

“It is particularly hurtful because my dad is from Russia, so half my family is in Russia and big supporters of Putin,” said Adams, who added the two sides of the family no longer talk to each other, nor is she in contact with her Russian relatives.

“I do not support Putin; I do not support anyone who supports Putin,” she said.

Adams said Americans do not understand the kind of man Putin is, and because Ukraine is so far away, she does not think most Americans care what happens there.

She also thinks it is difficult for Americans to understand what war is about, but war is all too familiar in Ukraine and Europe.

“It is in our genes,” she said.

Adams said she hopes the U.S. will send military support, including troops, to Ukraine.

“They could put their troops on the ground so Russia will not proceed,” Adams said. “They do not need to fight, just have a presence there.”

Adams said she also hopes Americans seek out and donate to humanitarian groups that will aide the Ukrainian people.

SOLANO/WORLD

Russia From Page One Ukrainian air-traffic controllers sealed off the country’s airspace “due to the high risk of aviation safety for civil aviation.”

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared martial law in his embattled nation and encouraged his compatriots to take up arms.

Meanwhile, the U.S. and the West announced new sanctions on Russia for an invasion that they had warned for weeks was coming but that Moscow had denied was planned.

Russian President Vladimir Putin portrayed the incursion – which followed months of Russian military buildup along Ukraine’s borders to the north, east and south – as a move to liberate and protect eastern Ukraine, where Moscow-backed secessionists hold sway over a large swath of the region. He warned other countries not to intervene, saying that it would lead to “consequences you have never seen in history.”

In Washington, President Joe Biden described the invasion as a “premeditated attack” that came “without provocation, without justification, without necessity.” He laid responsibility for it firmly at the Russian leader’s door, calling it “Putin’s war.”

Biden conferred with other world leaders Thursday to try to coordinate a response to an act of aggression that has drawn outcry across the globe and that raised the specter of catastrophic bloodshed in Europe.

The attack rattled Europe and stirred memories not only of the Cold War but also of World War II. It reflected Putin’s long mistrust of NATO and the West and his ambition to stitch back together remnants of the former Soviet Union. And it raised the specter of how the West – let alone Ukraine – would handle a possible humanitarian and refugee crisis while trying to counter a powerful Russian military that possesses both conventional and nuclear weapons.

“We now have war in Europe on a scale and of a type we thought belonged to history,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday, describing the incursion as “a deliberate, cold-blooded and long-planned invasion” and a “blatant violation of international law.”

“This is a grave moment for the security of Europe,” said Stoltenberg, who will convene an emergency virtual summit of NATO leaders Friday.

“Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked attack on Ukraine is putting countless innocent lives at risk with air and missile attacks, ground forces and special forces from multiple directions, targeting military infrastructure and major urban centers.”

An adviser to Zelenskyy said Russian forces had seized Chernobyl, where a reactor exploded in April 1986,

scattering radioactive materials across Europe.

The stricken nuclear plant has since been decommissioned and the damaged reactor encased in a giant concrete and steel shelter, but Ukrainian authorities warned that fighting could damage the covering.

“After the absolutely senseless attack of the Russians in this direction, it is impossible to say that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is safe,” Zelenskyy aide Myhailo Podolyak told The Associated Press.

Washington and its European allies announced new sanctions aimed at further isolating Russian banks, oligarchs and companies from world markets, measures going beyond similar steps taken earlier this week.

Biden also directed Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III to deploy about 7,000 more U.S. service personnel to Europe; they will be based in Germany to help reassure NATO allies and to deter further Russian aggression. But Biden has insisted that U.S. and NATO troops will not fight in Ukraine itself, which is not a member of the transAtlantic alliance.

NATO ambassadors said in a statement after emergency talks Thursday that the alliance would beef up land, sea and air forces on its eastern flank.

“We have increased the readiness of our forces to respond to all contingencies,” the envoys said.

Putin announced his “special military operation” in east Ukraine in a nationally televised address early Thursday in Moscow.

Even as he spoke, bombing runs began across the former Soviet republic, with some two dozen strikes reported on major cities and other areas. An adviser to Zelenskyy said that more than 40 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and dozens more wounded in fighting.

Russia’s defense ministry said in a statement,

quoted by the Russian Interfax news agency, that Ukrainian air defenses were “suppressed.”

Ukraine’s defense ministry said its forces shot down five Russian warplanes and a helicopter, an assertion denied by Moscow.

Russian military vehicles were reported to have entered Ukraine from Belarus to the north, where Russian troops had been holding joint military drills that Western capitals warned were a prelude to an incursion. Kyiv lies barely 50 miles south of the Belarusian border.

On Wednesday, Western powers said Russian soldiers had already entered Ukraine from the east, in the industrial heartland known as the Donbas, where Moscow’s proxy militias have engaged in skirmishes with Ukrainian forces for eight years. Putin on Monday recognized two Donbas enclaves under the control of pro-Russia separatists, Donetsk and Luhansk, as independent republics, setting the stage for him to send in troops to the region under the pretext of “peacekeeping.”

stood in a field with two Howitzers aimed north, where the Russian border lay. A convoy of large Ukrainian military trucks lumbered down the road.

Almost all shops were closed. In the lobby of the high-end Kharkiv Palace Hotel, guests sipped coffee, wondering if they should join the westward exodus.

“The Russians will be here in two hours,” said a man who gave his name as Anton, who had come to Kharkiv on a work trip and was trying to find a way to return to Kyiv. The road heading southwest to the city of Dnipro was not an option, he said, since he expected it to be bombed by the Russian military.

Some residents flocked to subway stations looking for escape or for shelter, lugging backpacks, small suitcases and pet carriers. Inside one station, people wedged themselves against the wall, using their bags to claim what little space they could as the crowds kept piling in.

Those who could cram themselves into subway carriages did so, sitting on the seats, the floor or anywhere else they could find, waiting in darkness for the line to start up.

City opens warming center as night temps dip to record lows Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The city opened a temporary warming center Thursday night as temperatures dipped to record cold levels overnight this week.

City officials said the warming center at the Fairfield Community Center will remain open until 7 a.m. Saturday to provide shelter for homeless residents and those without heat as the cold front continues.

Mike Pechner of Golden West Meterology in Cordelia Villages said temperatures at Travis Air Force Base dropped to 22 degrees early Thursday and 24 degrees in Cordelia Villages.

Both are record lows and the coldest temper-

atures this late in the winter, Pechner reports.

A freeze warning was in effect through 9 a.m. Friday.

The National Weather Service expected overnight lows Thursday night through Friday morning to reach 30 degrees at Travis Air Force Base. The forecast calls for a low of 32 degrees overnight Friday at the base before temperatures moderate overnight Saturday.

Masks will be required inside the warming center regardless of vaccination status. The warming center may extend its hours of operation if excessive temperatures continue, the city reports.

The community center is located at 1000 Kentucky St.

ROCKVILLE — There was little drama in Wednesday’s Sac-Joaquin Section Division III semifinal victory as the Vanden High School girls basketball team dominated Placer from the opening tip in an 84-52 victory.

The game was all but over five minutes

into the action at Solano Community College as the Vikings jumped out to a 23-1 lead. Vanden quickly secured itself a date in the section finals.

Vanden, now 24-3 overall, will take on Lincoln, a 55-40 winner of East Union of Manteca, at 2 p.m. Saturday in Sacramento at the Golden 1 Center. Head coaches Allison and Jake Johnson have their team back

in the finals after Division II titles in 2016 and 2017, and a Division III crown in 2015.

Wednesday night.

It was a game never separated by more than seven points on either side until the Vikings took control in that fourth quarter. Tyler Thompson and Jalen Encinas hit some big 3-pointers and Vanden was 5-for-5 from the free throw line in the final eight minutes to seal the victory.

“The kids didn’t want

Vacaville High graduate Cole Elvis is back for his senior campaign as starting catcher for the University of

California baseball team, batting .538 the first week of the season.

Vaca grad Cole Elvis opens with bang for Cal baseball Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

There’s nothing like starting the season off by sweeping a tournament. Cole Elvis made sure the University of California baseball team pulled off that feat with a three-run home run that helped lift the Golden Bears to a 6-3 win over San Diego State to go 3-0 in the MLB4 Tournament at Scottsdale, Arizona.

For the game, the Vacaville High graduate went 2-for-3 with a walk, his three-run blast capping a four-run bottom of the fifth that put Cal ahead for good.

But that was hardly Elvis’ heroics for the first week of the season. Not by a long shot.

In the season-opening 4-2 10-inning win over Houston, Elvis opened the scoring with a

run-scoring double in the top of the seventh and finished 2-for-5.

He then went 3-for-5 with a double, run scored and RBI in a 7-6 win over TCU. Over the three games, Elvis batted .538 (7-for-13) with five RBIs, a 1.494 OPS ELVIS and a .921 slugging percentage. He is one of three former Bulldogs catchers starting at the Division I level, joining Texas A&M’s Troy Claunch and Air Force’s Brayden Altorfer.

Claunch, who transferred to College Station from Oregon State, helped the Aggies sweep a threegame series from Fordham by batting .375 (3-for-8).

Altorfer had the toughest opening week, going 0-for-12 with

three walks, a hit-by-pitch, a run scored and two RBIs, one on a sacrifice fly, as the Falcons split four games in the Swig and Swine Classic in Charleston, South Carolina.

Hunter Dorraugh (Vacaville), a transfer from Sacramento State, had a smashing debut with San Jose State, batting .385 (5-for13) with three home runs and two doubles, five walks, two hit-bypitches, a 1.831 OPS, 1,231 slugging percentage and .600 on-base percentage as the Spartans went 2-2 against Nebraska-Omaha.

Warriors reckon with facing stretch run without Draymond Green Tribune Content Agency P O R T L A N D , Ore. — When the Warriors arrived here to embark on the stretch run of the regular season, there was one player not on the team charter: Draymond Green, whose absence from a disc injury in his lower back reached 22 games Thursday night.

That Green hasn’t progressed to the point of traveling with the team on its first trip after the All-Star break does not bode well for an expedited return to the court, which the team has said will come “at some point” in the final stretch of

the season but offered no more specifics. His missing presence in Portland served as a reminder of the Warriors’ biggest hurdle in their final 23 games, facing the prospect of playing many of them without their point forward and most important defensive asset.

As Green’s absence extends, the Warriors are left with a couple of quandaries: their standing in the Western Conference – a 1 1/2 game lead on Memphis for the No. 2 seed entering Thursday – only gets shakier the longer Green is out, and preparing for the playoffs without the lineups they hope to log

critical minutes together isn’t an easy task, either.

PLAYOFF POSITIONING It’s pretty simple: Green is a crucial cog and the Warriors aren’t the same without him.

That heightens the challenge of maintaining their lead over Memphis and makes it near impossible to catch Phoenix, even if the Suns will also be without a key member of their team after Chris Paul broke his thumb. Making matters more difficult: the Warriors’ remaining schedule is the seventh-toughest in the NBA, while the Grizzlies’ is the third-easiest.

“That requires everybody to step up until Draymond gets back,” Steph Curry said earlier this week.

Claiming the No. 2 seed would guarantee homecourt advantage through the conference semifinals and allow the Warriors to face a play-in team in the first round, rather than the No. 6 seed. A series against

the Timberwolves, Clippers or Lakers is far more manageable than a firstround matchup with the Nuggets or Mavericks, potentially even more important if Green is working his way back to full strength.

ON-COURT CHEMISTRY During games’ most critical junctures, the lineup Warriors coach Steve Kerr wants to roll out certainly includes the quartet of Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Green. One problem: that crew hasn’t played together – ever.

The night Thompson returned from his two-year injury absence, Green played a ceremonial seven seconds, checked out of the game and hasn’t returned since. There’s lots of history between Green, Curry and Thompson, but that trio hasn’t shared the court since the 2019 Finals. Wiggins, the newcomer, has played 99 games with Green and

OAKLAND — Zaire Brown turned in her 12th double-double of the season and second in as many days in helping the Solano Community College women’s basketball team roll to a 69-44 Bay Valley Conference victory over Merritt, Wednesday.

Brown finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks, four steals and two assists, while Genesis Ernie-Hamilton contributed 17 points, nine rebounds and three steals, Kyla Maghoney had 12 points and three assists, and Janae Jackson had eight points and 13 rebounds.

For Merritt (7-20, 6-9), Sonia Randall had 18 points and 15 rebounds, while Yakira Figg delivered 14 points and 10 rebounds.

The Falcons (17-10, 12-3 BVC) led 16-6 after the first quarter before breaking the game open with a 25-9 edge in the second to lead 41-15 at the break.

Solano closes the regular season by hosting Yuba (17-9, 12-3) on Friday at 5:30 p.m., with the winner securing second place behind champion Laney of Oakland.

JC men’s basketball

SCC ends season with pair of losses ROCKVILLE — Ricky Hamilton Holland delivered a double-double with 23 points and 11 rebounds, while Jacob Ebert netted 20 points, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Solano Community College men’s basketball team from dropping an 88-73 Bay Valley Conference decision to Mendocino, Tuesday.

The Falcons (3-24, 1-15) trailed 40-34 at the break, but the Eagles (14-13, 9-6) scored the first six points of the second half and led most of the rest of the way by 10 or more.

Jonathon Cobbs added 12 points and Cole Arabian eight for Solano.

Mendocino’s Lesown Hallums led all scorers with 28 points and Marcus Neal added 24, with the two finish-

ing with double-doubles with 10 and 15 rebounds, respectively.

The Falcons fell 101-78 to Merritt on Wednesday and will forfeit its final two games, which would have been played Thursday at Contra Costa and Friday against Yuba because of Covid-19 issues.

JC softball

Solano rallies for first win of season ROCKVILLE — The Solano Community College softball team pushed across three unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and made them stand up for their first victory of the season, a 3-2 win over American River in the first game of a doubleheader, Tuesday.

The second game didn’t go Solano’s way as ARC ran away with an 8-0 victory in six innings.

Trailing 2-0, Solano (1-9) had Gabriela Ibarra reach on an error with Naiya Watts and Maleah Martinez scoring on the play.

Annabelle Lentino later singled in Ibarra with the go-ahead run.

Lentino and Watts finished with two hits, with Lentino and Aketxalli Aranda each smashing doubles.

Martinez picked up the win in the circle, allowing four hits and two runs with four strikeouts and two walks in a completegame effort.

In the second game, Lentino had the lone hit for the Falcons and also took the loss, giving up six hits and five runs (three earned) with three walks over the first four innings.

Solano is off until it hosts Shasta in a doubleheader on March 3.

Long Beach State opened the season by taking two of three from defending national champion Mississippi State, with Devereaux Harrison (Vacaville) picking up the save in the opener, a 3-0 victory, striking out one in a scoreless final inning. He then got to serve as pinch-hitter/designated hitter in a 12-4 loss in the finale, going 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored.

Sonoma State (3-6) was swept in a three-game series by Fresno Pacific with Brandon Herter (Solano) going 1-for-4 and Tanner Fonoti (Rodriguez) having a tough debut on the mound, giving up one hit, two walks, a hit-by-pitch and four runs with one strikeout in a third of an inning.

Coppin State opened its season by suffering a three-game sweep at the hands of Cal Baptist as Wellington Balsley (Solano) went 3-for-12 with a walk and a sacrifice.

Nevada took two of three from Grand Canyon with Tyler Bosetti (Vacaville) going 4-for-15 with two doubles, two runs and three RBIs. Brett Erwin (Armijo)

transferred across the country from UC Davis to the University of Maine and had a solid debut with the Black Bears, giving up four hits and two runs (one earned) with seven strikeouts and one walk while taking the defeat in an eventual 13-1 loss to LSU, which went on to sweep the three-game series.

Another player at a new school is Shea Kramer (Vacaville), who transferred from Utah to Gonzaga, which split its first four games. Kramer batted .313 (5-for-16) with three runs, three RBIs, four doubles, a walk and a hit-by pitch.

Northwestern Ohio (9-3) was 2-2 for the week with Titus Groeneweg (Wood) starting and having a no-decision in a 5-4 win over Middle Georgia State, giving up three hits and one run with three strikeouts in three innings of work.

Boys: Solid late From Page B1 final at 4 p.m. Saturday at the home of the Sacramento Kings, the Golden 1 Center. Central Catholic earned a 62-61 win over Burbank of Sacramento in the other semifinal.

Section championships are a Vanden speciality dating back to the reign of long-time head coach Jim Boyd. The Vikings own one Division II title (1973), four in Division III (1979, 1982, 1986 and 2020), and three in Division IV (1991, 1994 and 1995).

Holloway’s team is the reigning champion since tournament games were canceled in 2021 by the Covid-19 pandemic. That made the coach a bit emotional, especially with another icing on the cake this season.

“This is crazy, personally,” Holloway said.

“This year is a little more different as far as how special it is. My daughter (Calonni Holloway) is going to be playing for a section title right before me.”

Manteca gave Vanden no surprises. The two teams met in a Christmas tournament game in December and the Vikings came away with a tough

44-39 victory. The Buffaloes gave them a steady diet of zone in the first meeting and did so again on Wednesday night.

Manteca was up 14-10 at halftime before Vanden went on a 15-9 run in the second quarter to grab a 25-23 lead at halftime.

The teams then played to a 14-14 draw in the third quarter with the Vikings going into the final quarter up 39-37.

Vanden slowly started to pull away with the threes from Thompson and Encinas, and the free throws. Thompson also had a putback layup and Sterling McClanahan delivered a steal and layup.

Emerson-Hardy had a follow-up layup, was fouled and hit a free throw during that run.

He also had the emphatic dunk that sent the crowd into a frenzy.

“The crowd was loud and so were we,” Emerson-Hardy said. “We fed off that and started moving faster. They were able to zone us, but we did a good job down the stretch. When we were running, they couldn’t keep up with us.”

Thompson led the way with 23 points, including

Simpson (8-8) won four of its six games as Jodi Garner (Wood) went 2-for-10 with four runs, three RBIs, a double, three walks and a hitby-pitch, and Ashley Miller (Rodriguez) went 3-for-11 with three runs, three RBIs, two doubles and a walk.

Academy of Art, coached by former Solano coach Nikki Gentile, dropped its two games last week to fall to 0-12 on the season.

Army opened its season 1-4 with Brook Mitchell (Vacaville) batting .375 (6-for-16) with a run scored.

Destiny Quiles White (Vacaville) went 1-for-8 with two RBIs and a walk as Utah (6-4) won four of five games.

Tai Wilson (Vanden) endured a tough week, going 0-for-15 as Seattle (7-3) went 2-3.

Oregon Tech (11-3) played up to its No. 1 NAIA national ranking by going 6-0 with Krista Ward (Vanden) batting .429 (3-for-7) with a run, an RBI and a walk.

(7-3) went 3-2 in the Littlewood Classic.

Northern Florida (8-1) went 4-0 in its own tournament with Bailey Aguigui (Vacaville) going 2-for-7 with three runs and a hit-by-pitch.

Dariana Orme (Vanden) pitched in three games for Baylor (6-2) with two wins and a no-decision, allowing 10 hits and five runs (two earned), 13 strikeouts and three walks over 14 innings, including a four-hit shutout in a 3-0 win over Oregon.

Holy Names (2-9) split a pair of games with Cal State East Bay with Cienna Cheshier (Rodriguez) going 1-for-5 with a double, two RBIs and two sacrifices, Cassidy Simon (Vacaville) going 1-for-6 with a double, Sydney Davis (Vacaville) getting into one game, and Dezirae Simon (Vacaville) going 0-for-3 at the plate and taking a loss in the circle, surrendering six hits and three runs (two earned) with three strikeouts and one walk.

Southwestern Christian (5-3, 1-3 SAC) split its four games last week as Britney Czelusniak (Solano) went 2-for-11 with two runs, five RBIs, a double, walk and stolen base.

Sacramento State (3-6) lost four of its five games in the UC San Diego tournament with Lewa Day (Armijo) going 2-for-11 with two runs.

Manteca, which finished its season 20-11 and had a five-game winning streak snapped, was led

by Justice Chase with 15 points. Ryan Inderbitzen scored 13 and Noah Lyons added 10.

“We’ve played multiple great games since the playoffs and we have a chance to go to the section finals,” Thompson said.

“It’s a great feeling. It’s a privilege to be playing

right now with my brothers. We were able to take care of business.”

Vanden now has a date with Burbank. The Titans come in as a No. 6 seed with a 20-9 record.

They are a familiar foe to the Vikings as well, having beaten Vanden 66-65 on a neutral floor at the Murdoch Smith Tournament Dec. 3. It was the Vikings’ third game of the season and part of their 0-6 start. They’ve gone 18-6 since.

Opinion CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

State mistreats working families during Covid-19

D

emocratic politicians frequently and vehemently express their admiration for and support of what they call “working families,” while contending that rival Republicans lack such empathy.

Despite that political posture, the Democratic governor of California, with the implicit support of a Democrat-dominated Legislature, has imposed unnecessary misery on those they purport to value, as a new report from the Legislature’s budget analyst confirms.

When Covid-19 struck California two years ago, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency and ordered closure of large segments of the state’s economy to battle its spread.

Almost immediately, more than 2 million workers were laid off as their employers complied with the orders and most applied for unemployment insurance benefits to keep themselves and their families housed and fed.

Whether the closures and resulting layoffs were justified, in terms of their pandemic-fighting effects, will be endlessly debated. RegardDan Walters less, they happened and having lost their jobs by executive decree, the suddenly idled workers’ claims for benefits deserved rapid and accurate processing by Newsom’s Employment Development Department.

Instead, EDD’s pandemic operations rapidly devolved intoa bureaucratic Chernobyl with immense and prolonged backlogs of claims, unresponsive handling of claimants’ inquiries, rampant fraud and, as the new report details, botched anti-fraud practices that blocked payments to those with legitimate claims.

The state’s oversight agencies, particularly the state auditor’s office, have steadfastly catalogued EDD’s shortcomings and the latest report, focusing on about $20 billion in fraudulent payments and EDD’s measures to battle it, comes from the Legislative Analyst’s Office.

What emerges is a tale of an agency repeatedly failing to act when necessary and then overreacting as it tries to correct its previous errors.

Embarrassed by the revelations of fraud, mostly involving special federal jobless benefits, EDD’s managers went overboard in adopting anti-fraud policies, thus denying benefits to many legitimate and qualified claimants, the Legislative Analyst’s Office report declares.

At one point, it says, “EDD and (and an outside contractor) identified 1.1 million claims as potentially fraudulent. EDD stopped payments for these claims. Workers were not notified ahead of time. To reopen their accounts, workers had to verify their identity using ID.me or their accounts would be closed permanently. Ultimately, more than half of the claims (600,000) flagged as fraudulent were confirmed as legitimate.”

Thus, the “working families” that Democrats profess to treasure have been doubly and triply mistreated.

Newsom’s proposed 2022-23 budget contains funds for six contracts by outside vendors to prevent future fraud, in addition to 13 other fraud-related contracts and the Legislative Analyst’s Office report questions “whether additional anti-fraud efforts are warranted at this time.”

“Moving forward at this time with new, additional layers of fraud protection also would move the department further out of balance by again prioritizing fraud elimination at the expense of prompt and straightforward payments,” the report states.

One of the most irritating things about the EDD’s incredibly bad performance over the past two years is that its political overseers had plenty of warning. During the previous recession that began in 2007, the department experienced great difficulty in handling a surge of unemployment insurance claims because of antiquated tools and procedures.

However, once that recession ended, the agency reverted to its customary ministerial role and no one – in particular Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry Brown – took the proactive step of improving EDD’s capabilities before the next recession hit.

Thus, when it did hit in 2020 by Newsom’s decree, the department was overwhelmed and the shortcomings revealed in the previous recession were magnified. It’s another reminder of government’s endemic inability to look ahead and plan ahead.

rectional institutions rather than educational institutions. We make the effort to encourage youth to be as competitive academically as they are athletically, or as passionate about education as they are about art.

Be mindful that this work is not for the faint of heart. You will see, hear and experience things you may not want to share or bring home to your family. You cannot do this work halfhearted. You may not be rewarded or even appreciated for your efforts or the lives you save at times.

You are the unsung hero. You’re the true underdog. You must embrace the roll of David versus Goliath.

Similar to the game of baseball, if you succeed four out of 10 times you are a superstar. That means six out of 10 of your target group may end up on the negative end of a statistic.

However, if you become complacent with these odds, then you are in the wrong business. You must challenge yourself to never accept the unhealthy conditions of the environment. This is the harsh reality of a youth worker. To quote my good friend, Kevin Bracy, who is an international motivational speaker: “Do not grow weary of the amazing work you are doing for youth.” I often encourage youth workers and educators to “stay in love with the work.”

You can hate the job but love the work. That love for the work will sustain you.

Analogies to Hitler and Stalin should be avoided. Still, there was more than a whiff of 1939 and the Molotov-Ribbentrop nonaggression pact in Xi and Putin’s joint declaration of “friendship” issued Feb. 4 as Xi’s Beijing Winter Olympics opened.

Is it coincidence Putin waited until Feb. 21, a day after the Games ended, to send troops into eastern Ukraine?

In secret protocols, the Nazi-Soviet pact divided Eastern Europe between them. Does Putin have any confidential understandings with Xi, who might see Ukraine, and the West’s response to it, as a test case for an eventual Chinese move on Taiwan?

Finally: Former Kremlin foreign policy adviser Alexey Chesnakov told The Wall Street Journal on Monday that “right now I have my doubts that the European political elite and diplomats understand the full complex of problems they will run into” with Russia, a comment that could be extended to U.S. policymakers as well.

ARTS/SATURDAY ’S GAME S

Porter just a regular dude who paints fences, wins Grammys

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency Grammy-winning jazz singer Gregory Porter had a to-do list before hitting the road: Paint the fence and chop down some trees.

“The way I stay grounded is by cleaning out my gutters and reorganizing the garage, changing diapers,” he said recently from Bakersfield, a day before his tour started. “I’m just a regular dude.”

There were other issues to deal with, including his organist missing the first two nights of the tour because of Covid symptoms. The singer takes Covid precautions seriously, especially after one of his brothers died of the coronavirus in 2020.

“If science and cities tell us we have to shutter again, I’m OK with that,” he said. “I’m all for keeping people safe.”

Porter played at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday, and is cognizant of the racial reckoning in the Twin Cities with the deaths of George Floyd, Daunte Wright, Winston Smith and Amir Locke at the hands of police.

“I’m conscious of current and past trauma in areas I’ve been to,” he explained. “This is entertainment but it’s much more than just entertainment; there’s a deeper thing that happens.”

Porter recalled a 2015 concert in Israel where he was confronted by a boycott over alleged Israeli human rights violations, which he wasn’t aware of when he signed the contract.

“There was so much pressure and political energy that I had to speak with my mother in the sky before I approached the stage,” said Porter, who began singing at a Bakersfield church where his late mother was a minister. “So I talked about brotherhood, and sang songs about offending the least one and looking out for your brother as a point of political differences.”

Porter, 49, is touring behind “Still Rising – The Collection,” last fall’s retrospective of 34 songs that connects the dots in a stellar career that has seen him collaborate with everyone from opera diva Renee Fleming and pop experimentalist Moby to the late crooner Nat King Cole and early rocker Buddy Holly (via technology).

Many of those duets are on the double album.

“The record is a good example of respecting music by not respecting genre,” said Porter, who has won a pair of Grammys for jazz vocal albums.

“I approach things like a jazz singer. I feel like a jazz singer in my body and in my voice, but sometimes because it’s jazz, the gospel, the blues, the soul, that comes out as well. Music associated with Black Ameri-

“All Rise,” his 2020 album, is easily the most gospel-infused of his 12-year recording career.

The singer said that direction was organic, reaching back to the first music he sang as a child.

The video for the single “Revival,” from “All Rise,” alludes to Freddie Gray, who died in the custody of Baltimore police in 2015, but Porter feels the song has a broader sweep.

“It does apply to the cloud and darkness that can be put upon you by racism and the many difficulties we have in our society [but] it’s more than that.

It’s also the internal self-doubt.

It pertains to all people.”

Jazz as protest music Porter has more obvious protest songs in his repertoire, including “1960 What?” and “Mister Holland,” about how he was treated rudely by the father of a white girl he hoped to date in high school.

“Yes, protest music is an essential part of the jazz expression,” he said. “To give a full picture of singing a song about optimism, you have to talk about where you’re coming from. There’s a reason you’re crossing the River Jordan, because on this side you’re catching hell.”

Overt racism was part of Porter’s childhood in Bakersfield. There were only two Black families in his neighborhood.

A 30-foot cross was burned in their yard. One of his brothers was shot while walking home from work. Bottles filled with urine were tossed through their windows.

One of seven kids whose father abandoned them when Gregory was a toddler, Porter still managed to find his way.

He won a talent contest in high school by singing a gospel tune after a well-received band rocked out and then flipped off the audience. Those musicians went on to eventual fame as the metal band Korn. (Lead

singer Jonathan Davis recently friended Porter on Facebook.)

Porter headed to San Diego State University on a football scholarship. Knowing that the lineman could sing, teammates Marshall Faulk and Darnay Scott (both future NFLers) asked him to perform a song at practice one day.

“All day long in the locker room, these guys were listening to hip-hop, R&B and soul music, and on the football field I sang [the jazz standard] ‘Moody’s Mood for Love.’ They had this perplexed look on their faces.”

A shoulder injury halted his football career, so Porter focused on getting a degree in urban planning. Meanwhile, his dad, whom he barely knew, died when Porter was 20, and his mother passed the next year of cancer.

“My mother was on her deathbed. I was telling her I was going to finish my degree and wear brown shoes and have two kids and everything’s going to be normal,” he recalled.

She advised him otherwise.

“With her last breath, she was encouraging me to pursue music. It gave me kind of license to pursue it even if it wasn’t bringing me immediate success.”

As for his dad, “he gave me no time, no counseling, no money, nothing. But I learned at my father’s funeral that he was a great singer. He gave me something. My voice. I’ll take that.”

Porter has a scrumptious baritone that evokes Lou Rawls, with hints of Nat King Cole, Joe Williams, Donny Hathaway and Bill Withers.

That versatility has led to invitations to sing on records with world-class cellist Yo-Yo Ma and electronic dance duo Disclosure, among others.

While his ingredients may vary from song to song, there is one constant for Porter: his Kangol Summer Spitfire hat.

He has 30 or 40 at home, but saves the black ones for the stage. “Some are for working in the yard,” he noted.

Like he said, a regular dude.

In today’s deal, how should South plan the play in seven clubs after West leads the spade queen?

South opened with a strong, artificial and forcing two clubs. North gave a positive response promising a suit headed by at least two of the top three honors and 8 or more high-card points. After that, clubs were agreed.

Then South used Blackwood and took an understandable shot at seven clubs.

South was faced with a spade loser.

One possibility was to take the heart finesse: a 50-50 proposition. Alternatively, he could play to establish the heart queen as a winner. This required finding either the heart king with at most two other cards, or king-fourth and a 2-1 club break: altogether, just over a 64% chance of success.

After winning trick one, South played a heart to the ace and ruffed a heart with the club nine. He continued with a club to dummy’s eight, another heart was ruffed with the club queen, the club 10 was overtaken by dummy’s jack, and the heart seven was ruffed high in hand. Finally, the carefully conserved club two was led to dummy’s four and the spade three was discarded on the established heart queen. Grand!

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

W

ith the conflict unfolding in Ukraine over the past several weeks and months now coming to a head, the world has been waiting in tense anticipation for the potential outbreak of war in Europe. As Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened, postured and rattled his saber over Ukraine’s sovereignty, particularly the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in eastern Ukraine that he has declared Russian territory, many may be wondering what’s motivating the implacable, impenetrable former KGB agent and FSB head Putin. Helpfully, there are ways to learn more about the recent history of Putin and Ukraine through a variety of documentaries available to stream.

Start with the 2018 documentary “Active Measures,” directed by Jack Bryan.

The main focus of this rapid-fire info-packed film is Putin’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and the cultivation of Donald Trump and the Trump family and associates as Russian assets, particularly through real estate money laundering for Russian organized crime.

However, the first half of the documentary offers a primer on Putin’s tactics interfering in elections in Ukraine and Georgia, and the subsequent protest movements rejecting Putin’s influence, especially in Ukraine. The film also explains the significance of Ukraine specifically to Putin, and the devastation he feels over the dissolution of the Soviet Union, which has led to his aggressive actions in former Soviet states.

Stream the film for free (with a library card) on Kanopy, or rent it on any digital platform.

Director Steve York’s 2007 documentary “Orange Revolution” details the 2004 presidential election in Ukraine, in which Putin crony and former Donetsk governor, Viktor Yanukovych, faced off with the more liberal

Viktor Yushchenko and his ally, Yulia Tymoshenko. Yushchenko was famously poisoned in an assassination attempt that took him off the campaign trail, and after Yanukovych was deemed the winner of a rigged election, Ukrainians took to the streets for 17 straight days in protest, ultimately overturning the results and installing Yushchenko as president. Stream it for free in its entirety on YouTube.

Yanukovych later became president, succeeding Yushchenko in 2010 and defeating Prime Minister Tymoshenko in the election.

In 2013, Yanukovych’s decision to ally with Russia and reject a European Union association agreement sparked yet another revolution in Ukraine, the bloody, monthslong protest movement and occupation of the central square in Kyiv, known as the “Euromaidan.”

Though Yanukovych used violent suppressive tactics, including sniper shooters, to target the protesters, he was ultimately removed by parliament and fled to Russia, where he remains in exile.

This revolution was captured in stunning detail in the 2014 documentary “Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom,” directed

by Evgeny Afineevsky, streaming on Netflix.

Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa also made an immersive documentary about the revolution, “Maidan,” which is streaming on Kanopy or available for rent on other digital platforms.

Finally, a narrative feature set in eastern Ukraine that takes a fictional look at some of the realities of life during wartime there.

Last year’s Ukrainian Oscar entry was “Atlantis,” directed Valentyn Vasyanovych, a dystopian wartime drama set in a near future, where a factory worker joins a team recovering bodies from a recent war.

This mesmerizing film requires, and rewards, a patient viewing. Stream it on Fandor or rent it on iTunes.

The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

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.

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.

Alyssa Jackson worked her way inside the paint for eight points, Calonni Holloway hit a pair of 3-pointers, and the Vikings scored at will early in the game to grab that 23-1 led with three minutes left in the quarter. They went on to a 22-8 run through the whole second quarter and led 49-18 at halftime.

“We didn’t get to compete last year and it’s something we’ve been looking forward to,” Jackson said. “It was taken away from us. The first quarter was just the start of the game and I think we came out into it.”

The Vikings held a slight 24-17 edge in the third quarter to lead 73-35. Vanden was finally outscored in the fourth quarter, 17-11, but by that time the game was well in hand and the Johnsons were able to get quality minutes out of their bench.

There were spurts of the game that left Allison Johnson’s shaking her head, though. One came late in the first quarter when, up 23-1, the Vikings allowed Placer nine points in that final three minutes.

There were also lapses in the second half when Vanden gave away some open looks and the Lady Hillmen were knocking down open 3-pointers.

“I thought we were a little frantic and I’m

actually not happy at all with the way we played,” Allison Johnson said, immediately after the game. “It was almost like we were playing in the middle of SATs or finals. Our mental awareness seemed a little foggy to me. But I was proud about certain stretches of the game.”

Jackson, the twotime Monticello Empire League most valuable player, led Vanden with 21 points, including 16 in the first half and eight in each of the first two quarters. Jiana Creswell had 12 with some efficient jump shooting, and Gabby Wright tacked on 10.

Amara Jackson led Placer with 13 points and Jaylie Tolle scored 11.

“We did good,”

Jackson said. “We slipped a little like everyone does but we were able to come back. I think we just kind of snapped out of it.”

Vanden nows gets the Lincoln Fighting Zebras, owners of an overall 27-2 record and a 12-0 mark in the Foothill Valley League. Lincoln has won 20 straight games, while Vanden has won 13 straight.

“It’s really exciting and a long time coming,” Allison Johnson said. “We didn’t have any seniors last year, so I feel like this is that same team with a few more additions.

Jake has done an unbelievable job with group and I’m really proud of all of them.”

with a run in the bottom of the second when Shane Martin tripled and Victor Vega followed with a sacrifice fly. They then tied it in the fifth when Jason Pridy singled in Michael Vena and Pridy later scored when Austin Menessini reached on an error.

It stayed 3-3 until the

top of the seventh when Nick Ochoa plated Blake Yuyama with a sacrifice fly to right.

Solano starter Ryan Radkey went the first six innings, allowing three runs on three hits with six strikeouts and four walks, while reliever Kyle Boll, who took the loss, went three innings,

giving up one run on one hit with three strikeouts and one walk.

Vega and Vena each had two hits, with Vena and Dimitri McLen each ripping doubles.

21 games together. But all four? Not a single game.

Kerr and Curry were both confident re-integrating Green wouldn’t be an issue, no matter when he returns.

“That transition will be pretty smooth because we know what he’s capable of doing,” Curry said.

Kerr said he has thought “a lot” about how he will use Green come time for the playoffs but without his

full complement of players has stopped short of formulating any solid plans.

“The fact that Draymond and Klay have played together for so many years, I don’t think they need much time together to really click,” Kerr said.

“But if a guy is coming back from injury before the playoffs, it sure is nice to get a handful of games under that player’s belt, as a group as well.

So, when can the Warriors hope to get Green back in the fold?

When pressed on the Turner Sports All-Star broadcast, Green said he hoped to be back in “three to four weeks.” However, that was the same timeline he gave when he last met with reporters two weeks prior, after being named to the All-Star Game.
