President Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress in the U.S.

Capitol’s House Chamber in Washington DC, Tuesday night.

Biden blasts Putin’s invasion as he pledges to fight inflation Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President Biden on Tuesday evening used his first State of the Union address to praise the West’s response to Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s “premeditated and unprovoked” war with Ukraine while seeking to convince Americans that he has a plan to combat spiking inflation at home.

The speech comes amid geopolitical and domestic crises: a stalled legislative agenda, rising inflation, declining public support and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In an escalation of the U.S. response to Putin’s actions, Biden set out a series of actions to put pressure on Russia: He will ban Russian aircraft from American airspace, joining other European nations that have already taken that step.

In addition, the Justice Depart-

“Tonight, I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime: No more.”

ment will pursue Russian oligarchs in Putin’s inner cycle, Biden said.

“Tonight, I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime: No more,” Biden said to bipartisan, rapturous applause in the House chamber of the U.S. Capitol. “We are joining with our European allies to find and seize their yachts, their

luxury apartments, their private jets. We are coming for your illbegotten gains. He has no idea what’s coming.”

Biden also sought to underscore the role the United States played in establishing a united Western front to Russia, spelling out his decision to share Putin’s plans to the world.

“We countered Russia’s lies with truth. And now that he has acted, the free world is holding him accountable,” Biden said. “In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.”

In the House chamber, hundreds of lawmakers, freshly relieved of Covid-19 face mask mandates and armed with signs of support for Ukraine, cheered when See Biden, Page A8

Huge Russian convoy advances on Kyiv; nearly 700,000 flee country Tribune Content Agency KYIV, Ukraine — Russian forces struck government buildings, a television tower and Ukraine’s main Holocaust memorial on Tuesday as they targeted residential neighborhoods and assembled a 40-mile-long column of tanks, artillery and other military vehicles outside the capital, Kyiv, in what appeared to foreshadow an imminent assault on the city.

The specter of more violence and the scenes of civilians huddled in bomb shelters or pouring across Ukraine’s western borders come as Russia finds itself increasingly isolated on the world stage, with sanctions inflicting immediate damage to its economy and currency.

The United Nations’ High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said in a press briefing from Geneva that some 677,000 people have fled Ukraine in the last six

Russia’s Defense Ministry said it would hit facilities of Ukraine’s state security service along with communications centers “in order to suppress information attacks Moscow.”

Soon after, a large explosion rocked Kyiv when Russian bombs

felled the capital’s iconic TV tower. Ukrainian defense officials said at least five people were killed and five others injured. Programming of Ukraine’s TV channels was temporarily disrupted. The officials also reported a “powerful missile attack” near the Babi Yar Holocaust memorial, which marks the site where nearly 34,000 Jews were killed within 48 hours in 1941 when the city was under Nazi occupation.

In Kharkiv, the nation’s second-largest city, a missile slammed into a central city square in front of a large, ornate government building, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said. Video of the explosion was shared widely on social media, showing cars driving through the cobblestoned square in the morning hours after the curfew’s break before being engulfed in flames.

The Ukraine State Emergency Service said 10 people were killed and 24 wounded in the strike on Freedom Square, the site of Kharkiv’s regional government headquarters. An opera house and concert hall nearby were also hit.

The blast came after a barrage of what observers say might have been cluster bombs on a residential neighborhood Monday evening, killing at least nine civilians and wounding dozens of others in Kharkiv, See Ukraine, Page A8

Solano Family Justice Center getting makeover from inside-out Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors are taking steps toward new leadership for the Family Justice Center.

The board on Tuesday set in motion a series of actions that include seeking proposals for a new lead agency to run the center, and to develop a strategic plan for its operations.

Casey Gwinn, president of the Alliance for HOPE, repeated his conclusion from an unflattering report to the board that the center has never reached the industry standards to be regarded as a family justice center.

"I think one of the reasons we are here today is because those standards have never been fully implemented," said Gwinn, who has been a leader in the development of justice centers in the state and beyond.

The board approved

a $10,000 change to its contract with Alliance, taking that contract to $55,845, and approved an additional $30,000 contract to provide strategic planning for the center.

Part of that includes comprehensive leadership training for center Director Angel Aguilar and to provide technical support as the county moves forward with a new model.

The county will have to meet with unions that represent center employees, but by April expects to send out the request for new lead agency proposals and to develop an oversight committee that will include the county administrator, the district attorney, the sheriff, the chief probation officer, the Health and Human Services director, the public defender, a CASA representative and two large city police chiefs and one small city chief.

Growing up in the South, The beginning is a stopper, a even before I learned to say few magic words that grab the “y’all” or gnaw the kernels off listeners so they’ll sit up and pay an ear of corn, I learned how attention: “Once upon a time to be still and listen with all there were three bears . . . .” my senses to a story.

An intruder breaks into But I was born into a family of storytellers. My parents and their house, eats all their Pop-

Tarts, trashes the living room and passes out on Baby Bear’s bed. Then the three bears come home and “There she is!”

In the end, the intruder makes a break for it, never comes back to the bear’s abode, and they all live happily ever after.

Your story might not sound like that. Mine doesn’t. Except the part about eating Pop-Tarts and trashing the living room.

But what our stories and our lives tend to share in common is structure: A beginning, a middle and an end; we’re born, we live and then, well, we move on.

To tell a whole story takes all its parts. But to tell it in pieces – just the beginning and some of the middle – we don’t need to know the end. We can tell what we know as life unfolds and trust for a happy ending.

Why? Stories have always been, and will always be, the way we understand ourselves

and each other. They tell us who we are, separately as individuals and collectively as people.

They point out our differences, but at the same time, they show us how we’re all alike, what we have in common and how very much we need each other.

I often hear from readers who tell me my stories are their stories, too. I love that. It’s my next-to-favorite comment. My most favorite comment came from a kindergartner who, after hearing my story on how I once tripped my brother on a barbedwire fence, said, “That’s the meanest thing I ever heard. I can’t believe you did that.”

Maybe I’ll tell that story to my grandkids. They’ll say, “Nana’s cool, but don’t cross her.”

Good, bad or horrid, our stories can tell it all, including things that make us more human (and might not be men-

tioned at our funeral.) Or they can be edited a bit, as my grandad’s often were, to cast us in a slightly kinder light.

As much as we need to tell our own stories, we also need to listen to the stories others tell. Even if we’ve heard them before. An old familiar tale can have a different meaning depending on why it’s being told. Maybe the teller just needs to tell it again.

If we don’t share our stories with each other – with people who mean the world to us, or strangers we meet in the checkout line – we might never truly know ourselves, or one another or why on Earth we are here.

What’s your story? I’d love to hear it. Tell it to someone. And ask them to tell you theirs, too.

Rebuked once again, she hollered down the stairs to her daddy, “Mommy still won’t let me in!” To which daddy replied, “That’s because she’s sick and needs to stay away in order to keep us safe.”

The princess, intent on having the last word, jutted out her chin, put her hands on her hips and hollered, “Oh yeah?

Well, I’m the mommy now!” “Really?” Her daddy said. “Yup” replied the princess. To which Daddy asked, “How do you know?” “Because Mommy told me,” stated the princess with an air of authority.

Sarcastic? You bet.

Coming from a little kid who knew darn well she wasn’t “the mommy” but was intent on establishing some measure of control over the situation.

Naturally, the grandpa in me howled with laughter at the exchange. But

the old professor in me wanted to learn a bit more about the intersection between intelligence and sarcasm (if it existed, that is). Here’s what I learned.

Psychologists have long seen sarcasm in a negative light – essentially a maladaptive coping mechanism used by people with unresolved anger or frustrations. A number of researchers in recent years have come to a different view.

It appears sarcasm actually enhances the emotional impact of a message. Moreover, sarcastic thinking can be a sign of intelligence. Researchers from

Harvard and Columbia found that comprehending sarcastic expressions requires more cognitive effort and complex thinking than merely understanding the literal meaning of a comment.

The abstract thinking required to discern the difference between the literal and actual meanings of sarcastic expressions may stimulate creativity, new ideas and insights, or in some cases, novel solutions to challenging problems.

Interestingly, the ability to detect sarcasm can be found in children as young as 5. However, the ability to apply subtle

(and often ironic) forms of sarcasm tends to ripen well into adulthood.

So, the next time a youngster snaps off a snarky comment cloaked in sarcasm, and before your “head explodes” with outrage over the impertinence, keep in mind that child may be an “Einstein” in waiting.

Remember, sarcasm is the body’s natural defense against stupidity.

Solano school leaders applaud state’s Mask mandates for indoor public places first step in lifting mask mandates lifted for everyone

Matt Miller

MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano school leaders applauded Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recommendation Monday to lift mask mandates for students in what amounts to a small start in shifting back to pre-pandemic normalcy.

The mandate will be lifted at midnight March 12. Masks will continue to be “strongly recommended” as students head to school March 14 but not required, likely meaning many students will continue to choose to wear their masks and others will not.

“I appreciate the state’s announcement of moving from mask requirements to masks being strongly recommended for our schools,” Solano Superintendent of Schools Lisette EstrellaHenderson said by email.

“The new guidelines seem to reflect recent Covid data and feedback from California families. California has had among the lowest pediatric hospitalization rates compared to other states, and the data is certainly trending in the right direction in Solano County.”

Fairfield-Suisun School District Superintendent Kris Corey concurred by email with Estrella-Henderson: “It has been two years since the pandemic started.

Our school district has changed and adjusted accordingly to the various executive orders, guidelines and mandates,” Corey wrote. “We are

Todd R. Hansen

The announcement was one of three about maskrelated mandates that are going away.

Schools will no longer require masks for students or staff as of March 11, and masks will not be required at megaevents, either. However, those events are still restricted to individuals who can show proof of their vaccination status.

The announcements come on a day when Solano County’s case numbers drop virtually to pre-surge levels.

There were 183 new cases reported, but only 155 over since Friday’s

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — In a move that may have more bureaucratic meaning than any practical change, the state on Monday announced that starting Tuesday masks were not required for indoor public places.

That mandate had been lifted for vaccinated residents several weeks ago, but now also applies to unvaccinated residents.

Enforcement of the rule, however, has been left up to each business.

Health officials concede it is a mandate that has been widely ignored in Solano County.

Newsom said California would join Oregon and Washington in its decision to lift the mandate.

He continued to state that masks are “the effective tool to minimize the spread of the virus and future variants, especially when transmutation rates are high.”

California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said in a teleconference that the data will likely continue to show a downward increase over the next 10 days before the mask mandate is lifted.

“We’re pleased how the data is coming down right at the moment,” Ghaly said in the online press conference. “From where we are heading, it feels like the right time.”

Students for the past two years have had to deal with at-home learning to eventually returning to school with masks on. School officials said they hope the trends continue in the right direction to add further steps of ending masking.

“We look forward to working with our local health jurisdiction to seek further guidance as appropriate,” Estrella-Henderson said via email. “Solano schools will continue to work with educators and families to maintain ongoing efforts to keep campuses safe and open for students and staff.”

Even with optional masking, Corey said, “The safety and security of our students and staff will continue to be of utmost importance,” Corey wrote. The Fair-

field-Suisun district “will follow the continuously changing guidance of the CDC, CDPH, and adhere to any future executive orders.”

Vacaville School District sent a message Monday night to parents informing them of the statewide decision.

Included in the message was a statement of mutual respect they hope is followed at all Vacaville campuses. They, include. n The state is providing personal choice for masking in schools with the expectation that individual choices are respected. n Recognizing that a number of factors go into the personal

Suisun City seeks food vendor for Train Depot Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

SUISUN CITY – The city is seeking a sustainable food/beverage or similar service business at the Train Depot, 177 Main St. The vendor should be able to provide consistent hours of operation to serve the commuter population and other consumers.

Proposals can be submitted for a combination of Suite 1, Suite 2, and/ or possible use of Lobby including vending. Use of the outdoor space surrounding the depot may also be possible.

Proposals are to be submitted to Senior Planner John Kearns by 3 p.m. March 25. Send any questions to Kearns at jkearns@suisun.com or 707-421-7337.

The Suisun City Train Depot, which opened to the public in March 1904, was established during the heyday of rail transportation, situated about halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento. The depot is part of the Capitol Corridor route from Sacramento to San

Jose, and is a popular stop for commuters heading to either city.

It is also served by local and intercity buses.

The train depot was first renovated during the 1990s as part of the revitalization plan of downtown Suisun City, with another

major rehabilitation project completed in September 2016.

The primary purpose of the most recent rehabilitation was to bring the restrooms and exterior “path of travel” up to current ADA standards. Electrical fix-

tures, new windows and doors, updated seating, painting and entryway enhancements were also included as part of the rehabilitation.

The full proposal for a new vendor is posted on the city’s website: suisun.com.

SUISUN CITY — Twenty students from Solano County Office of Education’s Solano Youth Coalition participated in an Observer Corps program training Saturday and mock City Council meeting.

The opportunity was coordinated in partnership with the League of Women Voters Solano County chapter and Suisun City. The League of Women Voters provided the program training. This is the first time the training has been offered to Solano County youth.

The goal of the training, according to a Solano Office of Education press release, was to provide local youth an opportunity to engage civically and learn about community issues and government laws/ policies. The program promotes transparent and accountable government while connecting elected or appointed offi-

cials with constituents.

The training was followed by a mock City Council meeting hosted by Suisun City Council members.

Solano County Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderson attended the session.

“Programs like Observe Corps provide our youth firsthand experience with local governmental entities and how they work independently and collaboratively on issues affecting our community,” EstrellaHenderson said in a press release. “The youth voice is incredibly powerful and impactful when speaking to elected officials, and I admire Solano’s youth and their passion to improve and protect their community.”

For more information about the program, contact Johanna NowakPalmer at jnowak@ solanocoe.net or Rebecca Floyd at rfloyd@ solanocoe.net.

Solano spends $2.4M on Vallejo learning center, new program Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday agreed to spend $1.87 million in federal pandemic relief funds toward a new Early Learning Center at the site of the former Beverly Hills Elementary School in Vallejo.

The board also approved $533,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding toward programs to reconnect with students who did not graduate during the pandemic and are not engaged in any kind of school or work programs. It is a threeyear program.

The actions were taken during a presentation by the Children/Education working group, one of 10 groups addressing various priorities eligible for the federal funding.

Solano County has now dedicated $2.65 million of the $86.7 million the county is to receive – half of which arrived in May 2020, and the other half scheduled to arrive this coming May. The learning center is a $3.2 million project to rehabilitate the shuttered school site. The Vallejo City School District, First 5 Solano, Head-Start, Early Head-Start and possibly the city of Vallejo are all partners in the project.

The center will provide services for children 0 to 5 with Early Head-Start infant and toddler care, Head-Start programs,

transitional kindergarten and kindergarten classes as well.

Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, only about 24% of children with working parents had access to child care, and that number has crashed with the pandemic.

Supervisor Erin Hannigan said the center should be viewed as an economic development project because it allows parents to return to the workplace, and provides what she described as critical cognitive development in the children that will serve

them better as they age.

Hannigan also noted it can be a model for other sites in the county.

Two other requests by the working group were not funded, though both seemed to receive a good measure of support from the board and will be con-

sidered with other priority items that are not immediately funded.

One was a threeyear $1.65 million request for expanding and enhancing student mental health support; the other was a three-year, $888,000 program that

would provide technical business support to child care providers, starting with a pilot program for 20 providers.

The board was told the requests for American Rescue Plan Act funds have, or will likely, exceed the total available.

Child Care Planning Council to host virtual forum Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Office of Education and the Solano Child Care Planning Council invite families, caregivers, child care providers and the community to virtually attend the Child Care Community Forum from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

March 12 via Zoom.

Presentations and a panel discussion will include Solano Family and Children’s Services (child care resource and referral services), Help Me Grow Solano, Solano Family Resource Centers and Vallejo First 5 Center.

A Better Way’s training on mental health first aid will be offered, and participants can learn about local resources and organizations that provide support to children and families.

The panel discussion will also address the impacts, responses and outcomes of the Covid-19 pandemic for the child care system, providers and the clients these organizations serve.

“Every Solano family deserves access to high-quality resources and educational options for their children. This community forum can help parents and community members connect with the wideranging supports and programs available to Solano families,” Solano County Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderson said in a press release.

The Solano Child Care Planning Council operates under the authority of the Board of Supervisors and the superintendent of schools. The council has the responsibility of planning and coordinating child care services

in Solano County.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, March 2, 2022 A5

In brief No new candidates join election

FAIRFIELD — Joseph Joyce and Pete Sanchez joined Wanda Williams as candidates who have completed their nomination paperwork for the 3rd District seat on the Solano County Board of Supervisors – guaranteeing their names will be on the June 7 primary ballot.

Several other candidates also have completed their paperwork for various county offices.

Sharon Henry, a chief deputy in the District Attorney's Office, joined her boss, District Attorney Krishna Abrams, in completing her paperwork to be placed on the ballot.

There were, however,

no new candidates listed Monday or Tuesday in the Election's Office filing log for the ballot.

The single candidates for all the other county offices up for election have completed the process, except Supervisor John Vasquez, who has yet to take out his formal nomination papers for his 4th District re-election bid.

The filing deadline is March 11.

If the incumbents in those offices do not file by then, the nomination period is extended to March 16.

That will be the case for assessor-recorder as Marc Tonnesen has announced his retirement. Glenn Zook, his top deputy, has filed his paperwork.

Supervisor Jim Spering has indicated he will not seek re-election for the 3rd District supervisor's chair, but also has left the door slightly ajar in case he changes his mind.

Daily Cryptoquotes

I’ve reached out through mail but have never gotten a response from my granddaughter or her mother. I’m at a total loss because I have no idea of what I supposedly did. As far as I know, there hasn’t been anything bad that’s happened to cause this reaction. I’ve tried to accept and let go, but it still bothers me. I love and miss my granddaughter so much and fear I will never see her again. — Heartbroken Grandma Dear Heartbroken Grandma: I am so sorry that you have that fear that you will never see your granddaughter again. The only way to understand what happened is to speak with your son. You could also try and reach out to your granddaughter, as she is an adult, and see why she is upset with you. But at the end of the day, if someone doesn’t want to see you, the kindest thing you can do is respect their boundaries and hope that they come back in time. Just continue to communicate your love to her via your son or directly to her.

At the bridge table, you sometimes have two chances to make your contract, but if one is obvious and the other obscure, it can be easy to fail if the first chance does not pan out.

In today’s deal, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads the heart ace and continues with the heart queen, East playing high-low to show a doubleton?

In the auction, North’s double was negative, showing exactly four spades and 6 or more points. South bid what he hoped he could make.

West might have led the heart queen, but it was reasonable to begin with the ace, given that he had the club ace as an entry card.

When I use this deal in a class, most declarers win with their heart king and immediately play two rounds of diamonds. When West discards a club, declarer then stops to think, but it is too late.

Netflix won’t carry Russian state programming Los Angeles Times As Ukraine continues to defend itself against a Russian invasion, Netflix said it does not plan to comply with a regulation to carry Russian state programming in that country.

Netflix, which registered as an audiovisuals service in Russia in December, was expected to comply with a law that would require the streaming service to carry 20 Russian federal television channels, including Channel One and programming from the Russian Orthodox Church in Russia, according to the Moscow Times.

But on Monday, Netflix said it would not follow the rule.

“Given the current sit-

uation, we have no plans to add these channels to our service,” Netflix said in a statement.

The Los Gatos, California, company declined to elaborate.

Netflix, along with other entertainment companies, is distancing itself from Russian state outlets amid concerns about the proliferation of Russian propaganda and disinformation surrounding the invasion of Ukraine.

Media outlets have been ordered to remove reports that depict Russia’s attack on Ukraine as an “assault, invasion or declaration of war.”

Netflix, which has about 222 million subscribers, has fewer than 1 million subscribers in Russia, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Police seek leads on missing teen Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Police continues efforts Tuesday to find a teenager who was reported missing Saturday.

Joven Henry, 17, is classified by police

as a runaway when he left their home around 3:20 p.m. on the 2400 block of Bickford Court. Police conducted what was described in a press release as an extensive search.

Foul play is not sus-

From Page One managed firefighters together on an issue – saying both oppose the tax measure – and calling the county's proposal a "bad plan" and an "incomplete plan."

Rio Vista Fire Chief Scott Goodwin acknowledged there are many problems in the fire service, not the least of which is the lack of training and failure to meet industry standards. He said he is concerned about the safety of the firefighters.

Goodwin said the county has been "accidentally successful" in fighting past fires.

"I don't think an eighth of a cent is going to solve your problems," Goodwin added while calling for the vote to be postponed. "It appears the (tax) number is about what will pass."

Several residents also opposed the tax: one caller thought the county should be asking for more, and one speaker called for the resignation of all fire chiefs as part of a single, united countywide fire department.

Board Chairman John Vasquez said the intention of the measure is to help rural fire districts, and the effort was never intended to create

a single countywide agency.

Jeff Dittmer, a member of the Cordelia Fire Protection District board, urged the board to move forward. He said he is not sure the funds generated will be enough, but said rural districts have been suffering for a long time and he did not want to lose the progress made with this option.

Supervisor Jim Spering was upset that two rural chiefs in the audience did not speak up, and aired his frustration with the city chiefs for essentially "sitting on the sidelines" until the final decision was being made.

He said the city departments have been part of discussions and never had a city department pushed forward its own plan or ideas.

The ballot language reads: "To provide general county services, such as adding fire protection to reduce fire risk and prevent spread of wildfires from wildlands to neighborhoods, improving 911 response times, adding firebreaks/reducing flammable vegetation in public open spaces, adding local firefighters/paramedics, improving early wildfire detection, and for general government uses, shall Solano County's ordinance enacting a (one-eighth cent) sales tax for 20 years be adopted, providing approximately $9 million annually, requiring inde-

pendent oversight, audits, and all revenue controlled locally."

However, the measure is a general tax and can be used for whatever this board or future boards choose. The emphasis is clearly on funding prevention and protection measures related to wildfires.

The staff report states, "this measure would generate funds which can be used on a variety of public services including, but not limited to increased resources for rural fire protection and prevention, and prevention of wildfire spread from rural areas to developed communities."

By going with the general tax, the county only needs a simple majority to pass the measure.

The board also approved $160,000 for a consultant's time and to conduct an outreach campaign that would include "two informational mailings and provide electronic outreach to all registered voters in the county."

The consultant, TBWBH Props and Measures, is already under contract to assist the county with the preparation of the ballot measure. That contract is for $75,000 and goes through June.

The firm would receive an additional $75,000 under the new terms That brings the total cost to $235,000.

Volunteers for Territorial Defense Units arrive and march past trenches dug to defend their positions against the incoming Russian invasion, in Kyiv, Ukraine, Monday.

Ukraine From Page One

a city of 1.4 million in northeastern Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack as “state terrorism.”

Ukrainian authorities also confirmed reports that about 70 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in a Russian attack on a military base in the town of Okhtyrka, west of Kharkiv, on Sunday.

And several people were wounded in strikes Tuesday on the southeastern port city of Mariupol, The Associated Press reported.

In an interview with Ukrainian 24 News, Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko said “Russian Nazis seek the genocide of the Ukrainian nation.”

“We will fight until the last bullet,” he said. “If they run out, we will use our teeth against the enemy that is moving towards Mariupol.”

The bombardments hint at a new, more violent phase in a Russian incursion that appeared to have partly stalled in the face of dogged resistance and possible logistical problems, such as a shortage of food and fuel.

A senior Pentagon official said Tuesday that there are signs that Russian troops may be losing morale, and said some have surrendered without a fight.

“They’re not only running out of gas, but they are running out of food,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Yet Russia has been unrelenting in its bombardments, with the official saying more than 400 Russian-launched missiles had hit Ukraine as of Tuesday.

The U.N.’s Human Rights Office

said that since hostilities began on Feb. 24 up to midnight on March 1 there had been 536 casualties, including 136 civilians killed – 13 of them children.

The toll’s increase matches alarm over fears of increased airstrikes and suspicions that Russian President Vladimir Putin will order his troops to encircle and blockade major population centers such as Kyiv and Kharkiv, bombing or starving them into submission.

Despite word from Russian officials quoted by the state news operator TASS that negotiations would resume between Ukraine and Russia on Wednesday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said in a news conference Tuesday that the special military operation – Moscow’s routine term for its war in Ukraine – “will continue . . . until the set goals are achieved.”

“What we see now see is a new wave of attack against Ukraine, against innocent people,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said at a news conference in Estonia on Tuesday. “And a column of heavy Russian armor which is moving towards Kyiv will bring more death, more suffering and more civilian casualties.”

Speaking virtually at the opening session of this year’s U.N. Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva on Tuesday, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken blasted Moscow.

“Russian strikes are hitting schools, hospitals and residential buildings,” Blinken said. “They are destroying critical infrastructure, which provides millions of people across Ukraine with drinking water, gas to keep them from freezing to death and electricity.”

Biden pointed to Ukrainian ambassador Oksana Markarova in the gallery where she was sitting with First Lady Jill Biden. “Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world,” Biden said, drawing a standing ovation from members of both parties.

Biden touted efforts

by U.S. and Western allies to sanction Russia over its invasion in the hopes of pressuring Putin to stop the war. “A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world,” Biden said. “And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted at Russia’s economy.”

Acknowledging the Covid-19 pandemic has taken a toll on Americans, Biden said the country “has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.

The pandemic has been punishing."

The president took pains to tell Americans that he understood they were struggling to afford groceries and gasoline.

Biden outlined what the White House identifies as its recent accomplishments in job creation and recovery, as well as a plan to fight inflation in a way that he says will also slash the deficit.

“Lower your costs, not your wages,” Biden said. “Make more cars and semiconductors in America. More infrastructure and innovation in America. More goods moving faster and cheaper in America. More jobs where you can earn a good living in America.

And, instead of relying on foreign supply chains – let’s make it in America.”

“I call it building a better America,” he said.

Biden is hoping for a reset, particularly with the economy.

The board felt it was important the actual heads of all those

departments were on the committee and not someone they designated to serve in their places.

A recommendation on the new lead agency is expected to be made in June, and the strategic

The center currently falls under the authority of the District Attorney's Office, but Gwinn noted that only covers those

Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — A fervid discussion about how the county approaches homelessness broke out Tuesday after the official business of the Board of Supervisors.

Supervisor Erin Hannigan used the board member comment period to announce that a “homeless summit” involving Supervisors Jim Spering and Mitch Mashburn, as well as elected officials from the cities, was scheduled Thursday.

Hannigan seemed to be put off that the two supervisors would be involved in the event without getting any direction from the rest of the board, or even allowing the board to choose who would attend and represent the county.

Moreover, the board has never approved involvement in the twoby-two format that has been readily adopted by the cities for a regional approach to dealing with homelessness. Mashburn has urged the county to get involved several times.

He said elected officials need to be more involved in the homeless issue at all levels, including on the CAP-Solano board. Hannigan serves on that panel.

Spring took exception to Hannigan’s comments, and even used her own words about the county “doing nothing” about homelessness when airing his frustration with the lack of progress.

He said the county, with the cities, needs to have a single voice on the issue in order to attract federal and state dollars needed to

address the issue.

“We don’t have that here in Solano,” he said.

Spering said the summit is not intended to develop a regional plan, only to determine if the elected HANNIGAN officials are open to the concept.

Ironically, Spering had originally opposed the twoby-two format, calling it redundant to other county programs, and Hannigan had faced similar criticism of acting on her own when she brought in tribal dollars and did not consult the rest of the board about how that money should be spent.

The summit had not been announced pub-

licly prior to the meeting, and because there is no quorum of any elected board, it does not fall under the open meeting laws for public participation.

That, too, has its own irony since the board’s discussion Tuesday likely violated the Ralph M. Brown Act when it went well beyond the kind of informal announcements and comments made during unspecified agenda postings, resulting in a board-level discussion on an issue of public interest.

Mashburn said after the meeting it was his intention to invite local press to the event.

Public From Page A3 update, a three-day average of 51.7, the county reported. The 10-day daily average was 60.4. The total number of cases for the pandemic is at 79,444, the county reported.

“That means we are coming down a lot. We’re almost down to the preomicron surge baseline,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said Monday in a phone interview.

The number of residents in hospitals with Covid-19 was reported Monday at 38, down from 42 Friday, but the number of patients in intensive care units rose by

three to 15.

Matyas also noted it appears vaccination levels in the county have plateaued, with 72% of the eligible population having been fully vaccinated and 82% of that population having received at least one shot.

The percentages have gone up very little in recent weeks.

The number of booster shots administered was at 146,744 Monday, up 922 over Friday’s report.

The number of children 5 to 11 who have received a vaccination shot inched up to 12,146 – 56 more than Friday.

Vallejo had the most new cases with 70, taking the city’s total to 24,823.

Fairfield added 48 for a count of 21,218. Vacaville is at 19,402 after adding 34cases,thecountyreported.

Vacaville grad Dorraugh homers in 6 straight games for SJSU Paul Farmer PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

As a freshman utility player with the Sacramento State University baseball team last spring, Hunter Dorraugh had three home runs in 72 plate appearances.

A change of scenery has apparently been beneficial for the Vacaville

High graduate.

In a huge way.

In his first eight games with San Jose State, Dorraugh has more than doubled his 2021 total, blasting seven home runs heading into Tuesday’s contest with San Francisco to rank third in the nation – including one each in his last six games.

As the Spartans (5-3)

went 2-2 last week, Dorraugh, a former Bulldogs quarterback, batted .333 (5-for-15) with four home runs for a solid 1.200 slugging percentage, scoring seven runs and driving in nine, also getting hit by two pitches.

It’s no surprise that he was named the Mountain West Conference’s Player of the Week.

Dorraugh started his week by belting a threerun homer in a six-run fourth inning in San Jose State’s 14-3 win over Northern Colorado. He followed that up with a solo shot in a 15-6 loss to open a three-game series with Portland, a three-run blast in an 11-4 loss and a See Alumni, Page B2

JUPITER, Fla. — After all that, the angst and the waiting, the posturing and the bickering, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday that it will delay the start of the 2022 season after the MLB Players’ Association rejected its latest proposal for a collective bargaining agreement. For the first time in nearly three decades and a half dozen CBAs, labor unrest will cost MLB part of its regular season.

The blame game will play out over the weeks, months and years to come, regardless of how long this dispute continues and how many games are lost. It began to play out Tuesday afternoon, when an MLB spokesman announced that the players union’s tone had changed dramatically since the sides split up around 2:30 a.m., even though the union had been far more measured in cautioning about the gaps remaining between their desired offers.

In that impromptu news conference, the spokesman announced that MLB would be presenting its “best” offer.

A few hours later, after the union voted not to accept an offer that did not move much from where it had been Monday night, MLB did just that, announcing that it would delay Opening Day, which had been set for March 31, and canceling the first two series of the regular season in the process.

In this dispute, which has cost the sport regular season games for the first time since a strike canceled the 1994 World Series and part of the 1995 campaign, what happens next is unclear. The sides are likely to schedule new talks at some point, but neither was in the mood Tuesday to speculate about when that might occur as the owners’ lockout reached its 90th day.

The outcome was not inevitable.

The lockout itself was not a mandatory part of what both sides knew would be contentious bargaining because of player frustration with previous deals. The owners implemented the lockout

Dec. 2 when the sides could not come to a new agreement by the time the previous CBA expired. At the time, Commissioner Rob Manfred called it a “defensive” measure meant to create urgency – and then his office did not schedule a negotiation session for 43 days.

From mid-January to late February, the sides met intermittently, with proposals on small parts of a would-be agreement exchanged now and then, neither sensing any give in the other nor conveying much urgency to do so before the last minute.

Then, in mid-February, MLB told the union that it was imposing a deadline of Feb. 28, arguing that was the last date the sides could agree to a deal and conduct a long enough spring training to avoid injury risk. The union never fully agreed with that assessment, and player frustration with what they saw as an artificial deadline continued through early Tuesday morning, when 16 hours of negotiations pushed well past midnight and made clear that the deadline wasn’t exactly firm.

When dawn broke on a new “deadline day,” the sides were maintaining something of a fragile detente.

They knew what each side would concede in return for what. They knew what needed to be in a package for the other side to meet them halfway. That they broke off talks Tuesday morning was, in part, because the players didn’t want to rush a deal, didn’t want to find themselves hurried into something they didn’t have time to vet.

So that they broke apart injected new uncertainty into the situation, giving players time to scan social media and internalize outward perceptions of partial and not necessarily accurate reports about the deal. Both sides met with their constituents before talking again Tuesday morning.

Maintaining momentum would require keeping everyone onboard with progress made overnight and with the urgency of getting a deal See Short, Page B10

Chipmakers need help with supply chain

DAILY REPUBLIC

Managing Editor

Even if no attack on the power grid materializes, Russia could still cause chaos in the energy sector and supply chains. We could see much higher gas prices, which means higher prices for food and consumer goods.

It’s inspiring seeing the Ukraine people’s resolve to fight for their homeland, to stand together against tyranny. At the same time it’s disheartening knowing we wouldn’t see that here. No, we’d be busy trying to blame some political foe. American politicians wouldn’t rise up like Nathan Hale but shrink down like Benedict Arnold. We already have Americans who loathe Joe Biden more than Vladimir Putin.

We have come together in the past and sacrificed. We did it during World War II and in the aftermath of 9/11.

Like I said, natural disasters often bring out the best in Americans rallying together to help our fellow man.

We have the ability to stand together against outside threats.

But maybe the real threat to us isn’t nuclear weapons or crippling cyberattacks but our own petty infighting. We’re the perfect weapons Putin can unleash against the U.S. Peace.

COMMENTARY

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

hither Dianne Feinstein?

California’s senior U.S. senator, a California political fixture for more than a half-century, was facing a turning point even before her husband, financier and philanthropist Richard Blum, died Sunday of cancer.

The Senate’s oldest member at 88 and the state’s longest serving senator has clearly fallen out of favor with voters, even her fellow Democrats.

A new poll by UC-Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies found that after years of steadily eroding popularity, just 30% of the state’s registered voters now approve of her, including just 45% of Democrats. Meanwhile, 49% said they disapproved.

“The five-term senator now receives more negative than positive job ratings from strong Dan Walters liberals, women, voters of color, younger voters, as well as voters in Los Angeles County or the San Francisco Bay Area,” the poll noted.

Feinstein has been a senator for nearly 30 years, following two decades of public service in San Francisco, including a stint as mayor. She was once one of the state’s most popular politicians due to her centrist, pragmatic approach, and was the go-to person for California’s interest groups with issues in Washington.

However, political polarization has left her drifting in political no-man’s land, reflexively despised by Republicans because she’s a Democrat and increasingly alienated from a leftward-drifting Democratic Party.

As Donald Trump’s presidency widened the ideological divide, Feinstein’s centrism, particularly her willingness to cross the Senate aisle and do business with Republicans, made her a pariah to the Berniecrat wing of her party.

Four years ago, as she was seeking another Senate term, the state party endorsed rival Kevin de León.

Feinstein easily defeated de León in 2018 but her popularity continued its downward course, not only because she’s out of step with her party but due to her age and media reports that she may be suffering the cognition effects of old age.

She must now – and soon – decide whether to seek still another term in 2024.

Feinstein has said she’s running again, but she would say that under any circumstances because that’s what politicians do. Were she to announce retirement, her clout in the Senate, which already has waned somewhat, would vanish and there would be a feeding frenzy among California’s ambitious Democratic politicians.

That said, it was at least a 50-50 bet that Feinstein wouldn’t seek another term in 2024 even before the devastating poll and her husband’s death. There’s now a strong probability she won’t run, approaching near-certainty.

As that probability sinks in, those ambitious politicians will be maneuvering to become her successor and all eyes will be on Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Newsom won’t have any trouble winning reelection this year, barring some cataclysmic x-factor, but what then?

Had Trump won a second term in 2020, the door would have been open for Newsom to make a run for the White House in 2024. But with Joe Biden’s victory – and more pointedly, Californian Kamala Harris’ elevation from the Senate into the vice presidency – a 2024 presidential run by Newsom seems highly unlikely.

Newsom wears ambition on his sleeve and if he wants to extend his political career, the next logical move would be into the Senate, and there’s no better springboard than a landslide re-election as governor this year.

Newsom is certainly not the only California politician who might want to succeed Feinstein.

There are probably several dozen Democratic members of Congress who see a senator staring back when they look in the mirror, plus some other statewide officials and big city mayors.

It all hinges on whether Feinstein is ready for a well-earned political retirement.

This isn’t the only instance where the industry has become overly reliant on a country in a geopolitical hotspot. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. dominates the global market for high-end chips, found in products that include processors inside Apple’s iPhone, smartphone chips used by Qualcomm and computer processors for Advanced Micro Devices.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has repeatedly said diversifying production away from Taiwan is a matter of national security. But it doesn’t seem like U.S. companies are listening.

The crisis in Ukraine is a reminder the industry needs to do more to diversify its supply chain, from using more foundries based in other countries to more dual sourcing of essential raw materials. Semiconductor companies have been too complacent for too long. They should realize viable backup suppliers are essential in an increasingly uncertain world.

Crossword

Warner Bros. Pictures/TNS

Jeffrey Wright (left) as Lt. James Gordon and Robert Pattinson in “The Batman.”

I thought I’d had it with this guy.

And then along came the first good ‘Batman’ since ‘The Dark Knight’ Michael Phillips CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Just when you’ve had it with Gotham City, caped crusaders and the whole murked-up franchise, along comes a good Batman movie – easily the best since “The Dark Knight” 14 years and an entire film industry ago.

“The Batman” keeps the lights low and the dread high, as well as makes it rainy enough to earn the forecast “cloudy with a chance of ‘Blade Runner.’” It runs a tick under three hours.

Some will respond to that news with: woof. Many may find those hours a tough, deliberately paced night in movie jail, and (no surprise to the ardent fan base) the opposite of exuberant escapism.

But across several highly variable directors now, the pointy-eared DC Comics gold mine has pushed and stretched and drilled down into the rough stuff for its two-faced, psychologically riven protagonists and antagonists. It got pretty awful for the audience, too, for a while, with the Zack Snyder Batman movies.

But there’s real filmmaking here in “The Batman.” Matt Reeves, the director and cowriter, has a serious interest in the tantalizing Batman/Catwoman dynamic. His script, in collaboration with co-writer Peter Craig, parcels out the action sequences carefully, and when they arrive, they’re both visually lucid and excitingly reckless. (Some of the action scenes were filmed in Chicago in 2020.) Reeves works wonderfully with cinematographer Greig Fraser, most recently

Daily Cryptoquotes

MOVIE

Review “The Batman” Rated PG-13 176 minutes

HHH (OUT OF FOUR) of “Dune.” Fraser lights like a master, creating sinister allure out of otherworldly interiors and perpetually moist exteriors. Together – with all the design collaborators in this organic vision of urban hell, where the underworld is the only world – he and Reeves turn “The Batman” into a full-on gangster movie edging toward film noir.

All that atmosphere needs real actors, otherwise it’s just pretty/ugly pictures on a screen. “The Batman” features a solemnly effective new Bruce Wayne/Batman (sorry, “The” Batman) courtesy of Robert Pattinson. He has a superb counterpoint/ frenemy/soul mate in Zoe Kravitz’s Selina Kyle/Catwoman. In this outing, Selina works as a nightclub hostess (vaguely defined on purpose) in a mob hangout frequented

by John Turturro’s Falcone, who is outfitted by sunglasses handed down, apparently, from Sam Giancana.

“Oz” Cobblepot, aka The Penguin, reports to Falcone but isn’t happy about the arrangement. He’s played by an unrecognizable Colin Farrell, and it’s one of the movie’s limitations. His subtly repulsive and nicely detailed performance is ready to rip, and indeed Farrell’s Penguin

will get his stand-alone HBO Max spinoff soon enough, but fewer prosthetics and a little more of the actor’s actual mug wouldn’t hurt. Meanwhile, Andy Serkis as Wayne’s guardian Alfred Pennyworth is lovely, a naturally civilized antidote to all the hellishness swirling around him.

Set around Halloween, “The Batman” introduces Pattinson in full “Taxi Driver” voiceover mode, muttering about how “two years of nights (in Batman guise) have turned me into a nocturnal animal.”

A serial killer known as The Riddler (Paul Dano, heavily masked and in shadow for most of the film) stalks Gotham and targets an array of hypocritical authority figures, be they police or criminals or freelance dark knights. Here “The Batman” veers perilously near the grisly, nihilistic territory of David Fincher’s “Seven,” as this word-game enthusiast drives Commissioner James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright, huge asset) to distraction, along with Gordon’s crime-fighting associate with the cape.

The source material for “The Batman” comes from various inspirations, including “Batman: The Long Halloween,” by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, and “Batman: Year One,”

by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. The motifs of damaged souls seeking either the light or utter moral darkness are not new. Neither are the general contours of the movie’s gangster underworld plot. Reeves, I think, lets the audience get out ahead of some predictable developments in the second half.

Bridge

by Phillip Alder

Look at today’s North hand. South opens one diamond, and West overcalls four spades. What would you do?

When an annoying opponent leaps into the stratosphere over your partner’s one-of-a-suit opening, a double by you, the responder, must be flexible. It is not for penalty, showing a trump stack (because you will never have one), nor is it a pure negative double guaranteeing four cards in an unbid major (because you might not have them). It just says that you have too many points to pass (usually 12 or more, but you may be flexible – that word again – with 10 or 11) and nothing more descriptive to do.

How does opener react? He passes with a balanced hand, hoping to defeat the contract, or bids with an unbalanced hand. Here, South rebids five clubs, which is passed out. (West might be tempted by five spades, but the vulnerability is wrong. He would be doubled and lose 800.)

AT A HIGH LEVEL, BE West takes his two spade winners and exits with a heart.

DOUBLY FLEXIBLE South must play the trump suit Everett McKinley Dirkson, who without loss. With nine trumps represented Illinois in the House of missing the queen, the a priori Representatives and the Senate and percentage play is to cash the ace and was known for his flamboyant king. Here, though, West has only five speeches, said, “I am a man of fixed and spaces in his hand for the club queen, unbending principles, the first of which but East has 12. The odds have spoken is to be flexible at all times.” flamboyantly – finesse through East.

That is an excellent trait for a bridge player, especially in the auction.

Experts weigh in on lifting mask mandate B6

Wednesday, March 2, 2022 - Daily Republic

Tribune Content Agency

Health, said it’s reasonable for L.A. County to still strongly recommend masking requirements at K-12 schools and childcare sites when mandates are lifted on March 12.

If improving trends continue, Kim-Farley said he expected “there will be a time when they will say that we’re no longer needing to recommend masks in schools.” But it’s also important to be flexible, and should there be another curveball by a new variant, there could be a need to return to universal mask requirements.

LOS ANGELES — Public health officials say California’s strict coronavirus policies in schools in recent months have resulted in relatively few pandemic-related campus closures.

Moreover, California’s rates of pediatric Covid-19 hospitalizations are the lowest among the nation’s six most populous states, health experts said.

So why have they decided to lift a statewide mask rule in K-12 schools after March 11, allowing schools to decide for themselves?

Here’s what we know:

State officials say it’s now safer One of California’s top health officials said the falling coronavirus numbers justify the relaxing of the rules.

“This feels like the right time. There’s the data that supports it,” both in terms of declining coronavirus cases and impacts on hospitals, Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s health and human services secretary and a pediatrician, said Monday.

But Ghaly said state officials are still “strongly recommending” mask wearing in K-12 schools, rather than simply advising it or making it optional.

“This is because we are coming out of what was one of the most devastating surges that we experienced as a state – where healthcare systems are still reeling, where they aren’t quite 100% back to their baseline,” Ghaly said.

“There’s a lot of members of our community who still are at risk,” he added. “There are children who are not eligible for a vaccine yet – those kids under the age of 5.

We have individuals who are disabled, those who are older, who have, yes,

Junior Robert Menjivar, right, wears a mask in the class of teacher Cordell Haynes at Hawthorne High School. been boosted and been vaccinated but still carry a significant degree of risk,” Ghaly said.

There’s also a concern about lower vaccination rates among younger children.

Only 30% of California’s children age 5 to 11 are considered fully vaccinated, whereas 65% of adolescents age 12 to 17 are. By contrast, 77% of adults up to age 49 are fully vaccinated, and more than 82% of older adults are.

Experts have mixed feelings University of California, Berkeley infectious diseases expert Dr. John Swartzberg was critical of moving too rapidly to ease the K-12 mask mandate.

Swartzberg said he thought the state’s plan was reasonable, but it would have been better to retain the mask mandate until cases dropped lower – suggesting a threshold of less than 35 coronavirus cases a week for every 100,000 residents, which, on a statewide basis, is less

than 2,000 cases a day.

He thought the timing of the new guidelines has been influenced a loud minority of those opposed to COVID-19 mandates for schools. A recent poll conducted by UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies and co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times found that that nearly 2 in 3 California voters support mask and vaccine mandates in K-12 schools.

Swartzberg pointed to California’s decision to lift its universal indoor mask mandate in mid-June — about a month after many other states did. Ensuring case rates were lower before mask rules were eased led to California suffering a much less severe summer delta wave because its overall case count was lower before the new variant hit, which saved more people from severe illness and death, Swartzberg said.

“Everybody says we’re following the science. I think that’s true. But people are also following other things [including] the psychology of a minority of people – but a large

minority of people – who are very vocal about removing masks in children,” he said, adding that he’s skeptical of claims suggesting children don’t learn as well in classrooms with universal masking.

“I’d certainly prefer children not having a mask on. There is something lost there, probably not very great,” Swartzberg said, referring to the students’ educational experience when everyone wears masks.

But not requiring masks when coronavirus transmission levels are elevated also risks children’s safety, he said.

He also feared children in schools that have less resources, such as those with poor ventilation, will be at greater risk.

“There is a real risk from Covid – albeit small.

Why take it if we don’t have to, until we know we’re at a time when there are very few cases around?” Swartzberg said.

Dr. Robert Kim-Farley, a medical epidemiologist and infectious diseases expert at the UCLA Fielding School of Public

One main reason for the easing of mask requirements in K-12 schools is California’s plummeting coronavirus case rate. In mid-January, the state was recording about 123,000 coronavirus cases a day, far worse than last winter’s peak of 46,000 cases a day.

But by the first week of February, the state was averaging about 33,000 cases a day, and most recently, roughly 10,000 cases a day. By March 11, state officials forecast California could be averaging 2,000 to 6,000 cases a day, according to data Ghaly provided.

California at less than 2,800 cases a day would be considered in the “moderate” level of transmission, which is less than 50 cases a week for every 100,000 people.

Getting under that number would represent a significant milestone under older, stricter criteria established by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – which, until Friday, was the threshold the agency used to ease universal masking recommendations. California last consistently got to this level between April and July 2021, before the summer delta

surge struck.

The CDC on Friday issued new recommendations. Many counties in Southern California now fall into a “medium” transmission level, including Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and Santa Barbara. In those areas, the CDC no longer recommends universal masking in K-12 schools but says at-risk people may choose to wear them.

The CDC was still recommending that L.A. County practice universal masking in schools because of its high transmission level as of Friday.

Similar recommendations were in place in San Diego and Imperial counties as well as parts of the San Joaquin Valley and rural Northern California. It’s likely, however, that Los Angeles County will likely fall into a medium level later this week.

In addition, the impacts on California’s hospitals from the omicron surge are easing. The number of coronavirus-positive patients hospitalized in California are about onequarter of what they were at the height of the omicron surge – there were 4,233 hospitalized as of Sunday, a fraction of this winter’s peak of 15,435 recorded on Jan. 21. Coronavirus-positive hospitalizations are at their lowest levels since around Christmas.

In addition, the number of pediatric coronaviruspositive hospital patients has dropped by half in the last two weeks, from about 1,000 to 500, according to data provided by Ghaly.

What will happen at my school?

The decisions on whether schools will retain indoor mask mandates in K-12 settings will now fall to districts and private schools going forward after March 11.

Talks were supposed to begin at 11 a.m., and both sides arrived about an hour before that to speak with their constituents. The union held a Zoom call with around 50 players, but an official familiar with the union’s plans said player representatives were on the phone with the negotiating team late into Monday night’s talks, too. At 1:30 p.m., representatives from MLB headed to the players’ side of the facility, where the union

presented them with a proposal. MLB officials didn’t like it, prompting that statement and the announcement of a final offer. That offer – which was almost identical to the one MLB had on the table when the sides broke early Tuesday morning – was delivered to the union shortly before 4 p.m.

By 4:30, the players had unanimously rejected it, and lead negotiator Bruce Meyer called MLB deputy commissioner Dan Halem to tell them they would not be taking it – an easy decision, according to multiple people in the room. A little after 5 p.m., Manfred announced that regular season games would be canceled.
