Valero to pay $345K for refinery violations Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

BENICIA — Valero has agreed to pay $345,000 to settle 17 notices of violations that occurred at its Benicia refinery in 2017, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District announced Thursday. “This settlement is separate and unrelated to the $191,500 settlement Valero reached with the air district in November stemming from a 2019 inspection that found unreported emissions of harmful organic compounds,” the district stated in a press release. Additionally, a hearing board on March 15 issued an abatement order “for Valero Refining Co. to cease unreported emissions at its Benicia oil refinery.” The order sets requirements and a schedule for Valero “to design, engineer, permit and construct a project to stop the excess emissions,” and provides conditions for Valero “to minimize emissions during normal operations, pending completion of the project.” “The hundreds of emissions points at each refinery require regular inspections,

FAIRFIELD — Solano County experienced a slight increase in its coronavirus case numbers since Monday, with one additional death to take the Covid-related total to 413. There were 91 new cases since Monday’s update, 66 from those three days, the Public Health Division reported Thursday. The one death was a woman between 50 and 65. She was living at home and was unvaccinated. She had significant health

issues, Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview. The number of residents in hospitals also ticked back above double-digits at 10, with four patients in intensive care units, the county reported. Matyas said those in the hospitals may not have been admitted because of Covid, but had tested positive for the virus. It is more likely that those in the ICUs are there due to Covid-19, but not necessarily all of them. See Covid, Page A8

Library system seeks volunteer literacy tutors Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Library Services is looking for volunteers to serve as in-person or online literacy tutors for adults in Fairfield, Dixon, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville and Vallejo. “More than 100,000 adults in Solano County struggle with literacy, meaning that their reading and writing make it challenging to navigate daily living and employment tasks,” the Library Service noted in a statement. “Children whose parents struggle with reading and writing skills are more likely to struggle in school and have low literacy skills themselves. Teaching an

adult to read, write, and/ or improve their Englishspeaking skills, can have far-reaching effects in our community.” Tutors don’t have to have prior experience, just a commitment to three hours a week. The next tutor orientations are scheduled from 6 to 7:30 p.m. April 12 in Vallejo; from 6 to 7:30 p.m. April 13 in Fairfield; and from 10 to 11:30 a.m. April 16 in Fairfield. Training sessions will be socially distanced and all current county Covid guidelines will be followed.

My dad would sometimes let us know beforehand how many whacks we were going to be getting like say, 10, but would then miscount on purpose. You could point it out, but it was best not to or he might start all over again at zero. Our countermeasures were to always wear corduroy pants with Giant Sized Green Lantern comic books stuffed in the butt area. The only thing was, you had to wail loudly when struck and at the exact same time so as to dull the sound of the telltale thwack that you couldn’t really feel. He, of course, discovered our corduroy/comics scheme and so we were then made to drop our pants before whuppings. Tightie whities offered precious little insulation from that belt, let me tell you.

orange Hot Wheels tracks. He said just seeing them caused his buttocks to clinch involuntarily. Now as a parent, I never used a belt or switch or plastic race track on my daughter Kaci when she was small. She did get a couple of spankings, not whuppings, but unlike me and her uncles, she learned lessons from them and corrected her behavior. Plus I learned there was a much more effective punishment device: looking her straight in the eye when she had committed some infraction and delivering the parental nuclear bomb of saying, “I am so disappointed in you.” That would not have worked on me and my hard-headed brothers as we were, to stretch the metaphor, dug in deep in our misbehaving bomb shelters.

Plus I’m pretty sure he had some hard-to-define bond with the belt and could communicate with it like how Slytherin Harry Potter did with snakes and it would have found him anyway. Now, for the most part, my mom dealt with the misdemeanors and Dad dealt with the high crimes. Sometimes when my mom uttered those fateful words “Wait until your father gets home,” I dreaded it all day. Other times I would get to playing with my G.I. Joes or watching “Lost in Space” and completely forget about my butt’s appointment with the belt until Dad walked in the door and ominous theme music played. Now besides the belt, my dad had a secondary punishment device which was ironic: those orange plastic Hot Wheels race tracks. The joy of getting them for Christmas turned to dread when you got a whupping from one of those belt surrogates.

Senator honors Fairfield homeless coordinator as Woman of Year Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The city’s homeless coordinator has been named Woman of the Year for the state’s 3rd Senate District. Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, announced his selection of Dawn La Bar in a statement released Wednesday. “Dawn’s dedication to helping the homeless and our most vulnera- LA BAR ble populations is nothing short of outstanding,” Dodd said in the statement. “She’s had a huge impact on reducing homelessness in Fairfield and providing services for those in need. I’m proud to recognize her for her significant contribution to improving our community.” La Bar has worked for Fairfield for more than 10 years. Prior to that, she had served as a district and legislative aide for retired Sen. Lois Wolk. Her current duties include being chairwoman of the Community Action Partnership Joint Powers Authority. She is credited for her work to secure a new operator for the city’s homeless shelter, creating a temporary shelter

permit program and developing a homeless-towork initiative to provide job skills. She also collaborated with local businesses to create the “Hand Up, Not a Hand Out” public education campaign to encourage donations to service providers, and she created a Covid-19emergency shelter program in collaboration with a local church to protect homeless people who are at high-risk of getting infected, Dodd’s office reported. La Bar had also served on the Vacaville Planning Commission and the Solano Family Justice Center Foundation board. She began her career as a child support caseworker for Solano County. “We live in the best place on earth and work with the most amazing organizations and people,” La Bar said in the statement. “It makes my job so much easier. It’s incredibly humbling to be recognized this way. I don’t take this honor lightly. There are so many other women doing extraordinary things for Solano County who deserve this as well.”

FAIRFIELD — Brentwood native Erik Elness saw only one name on the ballot for the 11th Assembly District special election and felt a need to change that, even though at this point he can only get in as a writein candidate. “I feel people should have a choice in who to vote for,” Elness said. “When I saw that nobody else was running, I prayed about it, talked to my family and decided to step forward.” Suisun City Mayor Lori Wilson, a Democrat, has been the lone candidate on the ballot for the April 5 special election. Republican Elness, 51, said he hopes people take notice of his movement and write in his name.

FAIRFIELD — The applicant for a special events center on Morrison Lane near Fairfield has withdrawn her use permit application. County Counsel Bernette Curry announced the withdrawal Tuesday as the Board of Supervisors broke from its morning session and was heading into a closed session. The Planning Commission had already approved the use permit to Susan Turpin, who had told the supervisors she and her late husband had purchased the vacant 25-acre piece of property as a blank canvas for their retirement home and business. The commission decision, however, had been appealed. The plans called for a 4,738-square-foot barnstyled event center, with a footprint more than 8,000 square feet, a guest studio and a secondary dwelling, possibly to be used as a short-term vacation rental and related uses. Detractors did not think it met the intention of the Suisun Valley

agritourism goals of enhancing and promoting agriculture. Neighbors also have raised issues of fire safety, traffic, noise and county enforcement of possible violations as additional concerns. The site is fallow, and as part of getting the use permit, Turpin had five years to have some kind of related agriculture production, plans for which were believed to be a lavender farm. In other action, the board: n Approved the changes to the Solano County disturbing the peace code, introduced March 1, that prohibits “loud or unusual noise” between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., to include “any nonagricultural noise . . . that exceeds 65 (decibels) at the property line.” n Authorized Agriculture Commissioner Ed King to execute the amendment to the fiscal years 2020-2022 Pierce’s Disease Control Program revenue agreement, adding $470,767, for a net total of $789,988, with the state Department of Food and Agriculture, and to ratify the $121,247 purchase

Additionally, the board approved a $470,767 appropriations transfer recognizing revenues and expenditures. n Approved a fiveyear, $564,849 contract with Innovative Interfaces Incorporated for Polaris, an integrated library system, from April 1 through March 31, 2027. n Authorized the Department of General Services to submit two grant applications for a combined $24 million for Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding and for Prepare California Match subapplication to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services for the Solano Justice Campus Asset Protection Project, from Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2025. n Approved a lease amendment with 10 Sage St. Vallejo LLC through Feb. 29, 2052, related to the property at 10 Sage St. in Vallejo. The group plans to sublease the property.

2 die of injuries from Vallejo house fire Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VALLEJO — Firefighters spent the day Wednesday investigating a fire that left two people dead and another person injured. The fire was reported at 4:47 p.m. Tuesday on the 100 block of Bayview Avenue. Firefighters who arrived at the scene found the fire had already fully engulfed the basement and extended to the residence above. Firefighters conducted what was described in a press release as “a liferescue search operation” while trying to bring the

fire under control. Firefighters who entered the home found and extracted three residents. Two of the residents, an 81-year-old woman and her 50-year-old daughter, died as a result of their injuries shortly after arriving at area hospitals, the Vallejo Fire Department reports. The third resident experienced smoke inhalation and what was described in the press release as “minor thermal burns” and was expected to make a full recovery. A dog was also found dead at the scene. “On behalf of the Vallejo Fire Department,

I’ve been up to Solano County and I have some campaign workers who have done a great grassroots effort. I know there is a farmers market in Vacaville Saturday and I hope to meet some people there.” Elness said there needs to be more accountability in Sacramento. He said he is a strong supporter of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those have been infringed upon the past two years, he said, by vaccination requirements and mask mandates. He said children shouldn’t have to wear masks. Elness said freedom of religion was impinged during the pandemic. He supports the Second

Shirley Weber as a writein candidate. Another disadvantage for Elness is many people have already voted. Solano County has already received more than 6,000 ballots as of Wednesday. There are just under 150,000 registered voters in the district. Former correctional officer Ron Plunkett of Suisun City, 56, a Republican as well, pulled papers in early February and also declared himself a write-in candidate for the special election. Vacaville legislative advocate Jenny Callison was able to get on the ballot for the June primary election as a candidate for 11th Assembly District. Callison is not running in the special election. Elness owns a small business with his wife in Contra Costa County. They have a son and two daughters. He knows challenges are great by putting his name in late for the race but he felt not all people are having their

I would like to express our deepest condolences to the family during this very difficult time. We are all devastated by this tragic loss of life,” Vallejo Fire Chief Kyle Long said in the press release. “I would also like to commend our firefighters for their heroic efforts in a rescue operation during an active fire and their ability to preserve the life of one victim during this horrific incident.” The cause of the fire remains under investigation but has been determined to have started in the home’s basement area.

Amendment. He supports public schools but said parents also have the right to make the decision to home-school, or send their children to private or charter schools. He said he is a strong supporter of law enforcement and firefighters. Elness has not run for office before but said he has helped political campaigns. He notes he was one of the “statutory proponents” of the original effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom. “I don’t know Lori Wilson but I don’t see anything different from the status quo Democrat,” Elness said. The special election in April is to fill the remainder of the two-year term vacated in December by former Assemblyman Jim Frazier. The primary in June and the runoff in November will determine who wins the next full two-year term.

Senate committee passes Hwy 37 improvement bills Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VALLEJO — Legislation advanced this week from Sen. Bill Dodd to ease congestion along Highway 37 and protect it from sea-level rise by authorizing a toll to pay for improvements and by tapping roughly $2 billion in federal infrastructure funding. “With the highway projected to be underwater in 20 years, congestion and seasonal flooding will only get worse,” Dodd, D-Napa, said in a press release. “We must take action if we want to preserve this vital link to jobs and family. Creating a dedicated funding stream and leveraging federal dollars is the only way we can afford these critical improvements that will keep this artery working, while reducing daily commute times.” Traffic jams and seasonal flooding have plagued the 21-mile Highway 37 for years, according to the release, which runs from Interstate 80 to Highway 101, connecting Solano, Napa, Marin and Sonoma counties. Caltrans recently estimated that because of climate change, the section along San Pablo Bay could be fully immersed within 20 years, cutting off a regional artery that serves 40,000 motorists a day. Transportation planners are identifying solutions, including build-

ing a raised causeway that would cost billions of dollars. Dodd has introduced two bills. The first, Senate Bill 1050, authorizes the creation of a toll between Mare Island and Sears Point. The revenue would finance construction costs and environmental remediation, and it could be used to leverage state and federal funding. The second bill, Senate Bill 1049, directs $1.9 billion in federal infrastructure funds to climate-adaptive transit projects, including along Highway 37. A prior version of the legislation was introduced in 2020 but withdrawn because of the pandemic. SB 1049 and SB 1050 both passed the Senate Transportation Committee this week. Dodd currently represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes all of Solano County.

Mark LeRoy Richardson was born to Max and Doris Richardson in Panama City, Florida, on Nov. 22, 1952. He was 69 years old when he passed away at Vaca Valley Hospital in Vacaville, California, following an unexpected cardiac event on Dec. 12, 2021. As a part of a military family, Mark lived many places across the world, spanning from Casablanca, Morocco to Vacaville, California. He attended grade school in Vacaville, middle school in Hawaii, and high school at both Vacaville High School and Yamato High School in Japan, where he graduated in 1971. Mark returned to California and attended Sacramento City College before transferring to Sacramento State in 1973, where he graduated with a degree in Social Sciences in 1975. At Sac State, Mark met his first wife, Carol Borrelli, in the dorms where they became great friends before getting married in 1977. In 1985, while living in Dixon, California, they had their son, Aaron, followed by their daughter, Hannah, in 1995. In 1987, Mark decided to leave his pharmaceutical sales job in favor of a career change into education. He attended St. Mary’s College in Moraga, California, and received his teaching credential for elementary school. Mark landed his first teaching job at Padan Elementary School in Vacaville in 1989. He transferred to Browns Valley Elementary School as a fourth-grade teacher when it was built in 1991. Mark impacted the lives of countless Vacaville students through his engaging teaching style and cool, calm demeanor. He was known locally as ‘The Rock and Roll 4th Grade Teacher’. Many students remember him for his fun art projects, the many books he read with his classes, and rewarding good behavior with gummy worms and Jolly Ranchers. Parents of his students likely remember the heartfelt Mother’s Day letter, the compelling persuasive writing assignment, and the arduous California Mission project. Mark retired from teaching in 2017 after 26 years in the classroom. Beyond being a teacher, Mark was also a passionate athlete and a local ‘rock star’. Mark was the

guitar player in a number of bands over the years including Krakatoa, Beat Bandits and Strut-A-Various. His band, StrutA-Various, made many appearances at local Vacaville venues including Fiesta Days, Creekwalk, and City Sports at Stars Recreation Center, as well as many Northern California nightclubs. Mark also had a love for tennis that stemmed from his collegiate career at Sac State. He enjoyed the fellowship of the tennis community, and played for a number of local Solano County clubs (as well as many matches with his brothers, when he got the chance). Mark was a proud member of the United States Tennis Association. In 1998, Mark married the love of his life, Melanie Richardson, and welcomed her two daughters, Kate and Kelsey, into the family. Over the next 23 years, Mark and Melanie shared many adventures including their annual trip to Cabo to celebrate their anniversary. They were also loving parents to many fur babies, including rescue cats and dogs, and their beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Mark’s family likes to think he is now reunited with all the pets he loved so deeply during his life, most notably Riley and Charlie, their first two dogs together. Mark is survived by his wife, Melanie Richardson; children, Aaron Richardson, Hannah Richardson, Kate Gunn, and Kelsey Spencer; grandchildren, Aerilyn Mock, Jacob Richardson, Danica Richardson, and Maya Spencer; father, Max Richardson; siblings, Jack Swanson, Barbara Raymond, Christy Sisson, Scott Richardson, Brett Richardson, and Holly Richardson; and many nieces and nephews (and greatnieces and great-nephews). Mark’s wife and children are hosting a celebration of life at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 27, 2022, at Sunrise Event Center, 600 Orange Drive, Vacaville, California. This casual event will feature mementos from all walks of Mark’s life, including some of his favorite snacks and beverages. The family hopes anyone who was touched by Mark’s life, whether it be friends, students or colleagues, followers of the band, or tennis and golf pals to join us in remembering Mark and celebrating his life.

On Jan. 30, my dear sister and our dear ‘auntie’ passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born and raised in Great Falls, Montana, and graduated from Great Fall High in 1961. After graduating, she married and had her son, Kevin. Two years later, they moved to Westminster, California, where she was employed by JC Penney, in the accounting department. Her family loved going to the desert, and enjoyed many fun camping trips with friends and her parents. Great memories were made on their trip to the Baja. In 1979, she moved to Fairfield to be closer to her family. After various jobs, she was hired by the Travis Unified School District as a purchasing assistant. She was employed there for 20 years until her retirement in 2003. In search of more activities, she moved to a retirement community called Trilogy, in Rio Vista. Although the commute was challenging, the rewards were great, as she made new friends and began traveling with the Trilogy travel group. She managed to sign up for every one offered! Cruises included Hawaii, Alaska and Mexico. Along with cruises, she also enjoyed the bus trips to so many great places, her favorite was a trip to seven of the National Parks. Every summer her favorite place to visit was still Montana. She loved visiting her cousin and family, who

lived on beautiful Flathead Lake. As her health presented more challenges, she decided to move to Paradise Valley Estates in 2016. She loved living at PVE, with all it had to offer and made some great friends, including Lynn and John McCurry. We are very grateful for all they did to help her out during her final battle with cancer. We would also like to thank Dr. Long, her longtime oncologist for all the compassionate care he gave her. Natalie loved being outdoors and walked every day around PVE for as long as she could. She loved gardening, animals and watching all the birds, which visited her birdbath and feeders. She had a good heart and spent a lot of time picking out just the right gift for special people in her life. She is survived by her sister, Robin Carpino (Clyde); nephews, Cody Carpino (Meredith), Todd Carpino (Sarah), Colby Schrader; niece, Kelly Kreutzen (Josh); and several great-nieces and great-nephews. She is preceded in death by her son, Kevin Prindel; brother, William Jon Schrader; and her parents, Nathan and Gladys Schrader. Interment will be private at the Vacaville-Elmira Cemetery. Arrangements are under the care of McCune Garden Chapel. In memory of Natalie, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.

concerned, and that's his threat to use nuclear weapons if all else fails. That, of course, would change the course of world history. And part of Putin's anger, you may have heard, was in response to President Joe Biden's labeling him a war criminal. I was delighted that Biden had the backbone to tell the truth about Putin. Way to go, Joe. It got the Kremlin riled up, including foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. It's apparent that the game – if you can call the future of the world a game – is costly to Russia as well. CNN has reported that as many as 15,000 Russian soldiers have been killed. And so far, there has been no sign of an end to this bloody, dangerous war. Perhaps I pay even more attention to what's going on because my paternal grandparents were from Ukraine. They left, as did many others, because of the acute reign of terror from the Tsarist government against the Jews.

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

alifornia’s state government offers many – too many – examples of botched attempts to make itself more efficient by adopting high-tech data systems. The current poster child for information technology projects that either failed to work or have become bottomless pits of expense is something called FI$Cal, supposedly a comprehensive state government finance control system. Originally begun in 2005 and costing nearly $1 billion to date, FI$Cal has yet to function as envisioned. Prior to the FI$Cal, the most spectacular IT failure was another comprehensive project, managed – or mismanaged – by state Judicial Council and Dan Walters the the Administrative Office of the Courts. Launched in 2002, it was supposed to be a centralized management system for the millions of civil and legal cases handled by the courts each year. The project was abandoned a decade later after $530 million had been spent on unsuccessful efforts to make it work. But one aspect of the debacle continued for another decade and only this month was finally concluded. The former Ventura County clerk, Michael Planet, who had been one of the IT project’s strongest backers and an early user, was forced to revert to paper filings when it was abandoned but continued to insist that lawsuits and other filings would not be made public until they had been processed. That policy ran counter to a long-standing practice that once filed, lawsuits immediately became public documents and Courthouse News, a publication that specializes in legal matters, decided to fight Planet on the issue, eventually going to court itself. The Judicial Council, whose members set policy for court operations, backed Planet by passing a rule saying documents were not public until processed and hired a law firm to battle Courthouse News for another decade. As Courthouse News reported this month, “Filed in 2011, the saga of Courthouse News v. Planet included three trips to the Ninth Circuit. The last one, handed down in 2020, is referred to as Planet III, and it said the First Amendment right of access attaches to new complaints when they are filed. “This matched up with an age-old tradition in American courts where news reporters checked the new complaints at the clerk’s counter. The complaints were in a box or bin or cart where the intake clerks set them as soon as they came across the counter. Reporters checked the box at various times during the day but most often around closing time to make sure they saw all the day’s new cases.” The 2020 decision, written by Judge Kim Wardlaw, declares, “The free press is the guardian of the public interest, and the independent judiciary is the guardian of the free press. These values hold especially true where, as here, the impetus for (Courthouse News’) efforts to obtain newly filed complaints is its interest in timely reporting on their contents.” It took two more years, however, for the final chapter to be written. This month, the Judicial Council sent a check to Courthouse News for $2.9 million to cover its legal bills for fighting the case – money that ultimately comes from the state’s taxpayers. And that doesn’t count what the Judicial Council spent for its own attorneys. By pursuing the case, Courthouse News struck a blow for open records and freedom of the press. By stubbornly insisting that Planet’s position was correct, even changing its regulations, the Judicial Council wasted millions of taxpayer dollars. Perhaps that shouldn’t be surprising, given how the managers of the court system also blew more than a half-billion bucks on an inoperable IT project.

sion that could have resulted in grave danger for me and several of my peers. A simple invitation to a party was a life-or-death decision based on the environment within which I was unfortunately residing. My decision to pass on the invitation was guided by fear and common sense. Most of us, even today, recognize some areas or neighborhoods are more dangerous than others and are more likely to have a violent confrontation occur. My intuition was loud and clear enough for me to absorb a barrage of criticism to maintain my position and not give way to peer pressure. The decision not to go could very well have saved my life, as several of my classmates and friends who attended this party were shot, and some were killed. This is a fine example that validates that it is your choices that dictate the outcome or consequences. We are in critical times where every decision we make can have a tremendous impact. Thinking ability and considering consequences could be the difference between surviving and thriving. Deon D. Price is an author and youth life skills coach who lives in Fairfield.

Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The other person’s account of the events in a relationship may differ substantially from your own. Be receptive to the other person’s point of view. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This is a lucky day to gather and acquire resources. You’ll accurately estimate what you need, find the right price and get a lot of use from today’s purchases. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A curious, experimental mood takes hold. You won’t have to pursue it for long before you find yourself in a magical place. Perception alters the lighting scheme of the world.

You’ve fantasized about getting someone else to do the mundane work while you follow your creative whimsy. However, it’s the mundane tasks that move your imagination.

Daily Cryptoquotes

So far, this has worked out great for everyone. Last year, we held Christmas on Dec. 18. We had some family drive from 700 miles away to be there. All the travelers had the opportunity to have a Christmas celebration with their families at home, and our local family knew weeks ahead of time to ask for time off when needed. The grandchildren helped put together a buffet meal, and everyone showed up with gifts (usually home-cooked sweets). We also celebrate birthdays when it is convenient for all the family members. Sometimes, we even have a special Halloween with the grandkids so we can all eat candy together. We hope that all our family members will remember that having a celebration on a specific date on the calendar is not important. What is important is that we get together and enjoy each other’s company. P.S. Sometimes we do have to be very flexible to make sure everyone we want to see can work with the dates we choose for celebrations! — Stress-Free Holidays in Louisiana Dear Stress-Free Holidays in Louisiana: Props to you for your flexibility and impressive hosting skills. What a great reminder as we approach Easter next month: The true importance of a holiday lies not in its calendar date but in who we spend it with.

by Holiday Mathis

Today’s birthday Like the snap of a puzzle piece coming together or the satisfied rush that comes with a row of green Wordle squares, you’ll often have the thrill of filling life’s blanks. Your wins will build up and you’ll get to wear them like a cape of confidence. You’ll be made a leader and you’ll use your power to make things better. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 44, 4, 20 and 32.

Normally you wouldn’t gamble with what’s precious to you, but there’s a calculated risk that seems like it might be worth taking. Make sure you have good communication and a backup plan. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s not like you to accept whatever life throws your way as though it’s meant for you. You say what’s meant for you. You think ahead; you take control. What you give will strongly influence what you get. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You could use some faith. While a naive abandon of thought

process isn’t your style, you could surrender your skepticism for a more practical reason. It’s heavy. Traveling light is faster. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). There’s much to do and you’ll be a leader, overseeing the action. You already know one way to get the job done. To foster teamwork and innovation, encourage others to come up with solutions too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Colleagues and friends can provide some of your most meaningful competition, as their close vicinity is intensely motivating. Don’t be afraid to share information but keep some for yourself too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). This is a sharing kind of day. What we share is inconsequential; it’s the effort that matters. It’s enough to appreciate being connected and let the particulars be what they are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Minefields just look like fields until something blows up. It’s a good day to respect hidden history, read all the signs, follow all the rules and heed all the warnings.

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder can spot it and take advantage of it. Against South’s contract of six spades, West led the heart king: ace, 10, six. Declarer cashed dummy’s spade ace and played a spade to his king, but West discarded a heart. How should South have continued? Faced with a trump loser, declarer thought that he needed to find East with at least three clubs (so that South could discard his heart loser before East ruffed in) and West with the diamond king. Consequently, South played a diamond to the queen at trick four, but East won with the king and returned his last heart: down two. From West’s vulnerable pre-empt and the play to trick one, it was likely that East had started with a doubleton heart. (With an eight-card suit, probably West would have opened four hearts.) As East had to have at least three clubs, declarer should have tried that suit first. Then, when East turned up with four clubs, declarer could have discarded his heart loser, ruffed the heart three in hand, played a spade to dummy’s queen and led dummy’s last club. If East ruffed, he would have to return a diamond into dummy’s ace-queen. So he would have discarded. But declarer would have exited with dummy’s last spade, endplaying East anyway.

Bieber drops lawsuit against Twitter users Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — Justin Bieber has dropped the lawsuit that he filed against two social media users who accused him on Twitter of sexual assault. Attorneys for the “Yummy” and “Peaches” singer requested a dismissal of the 2020 defamation lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court last week, according to court documents reviewed by the L.A. Times. The request was made with prejudice for all parties and all causes of action, meaning Bieber cannot refile the same claim against the two Jane Does mentioned in the lawsuit.

The documents did not indicate whether they had agreed on a settlement. “Justin has decided to move on and dismiss the case for defamation filed in 2020,” his attorney, Evan Spiegel, of Lavely & Sanger PC, told the L.A. Times on Wednesday. The 28-year-old pop sensation filed the $20 million suit in June 2020 seeking $10 million from each defendant who alleged that he assaulted them, one in 2014 and the other in 2015. He claimed the testimonies they posed on Twitter were “outrageous lies” that are “probably fabricated” and “factually impossible.”

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump is taking Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee to court over what he has called “the Russia hoax,” allegations that his successful 2016 campaign for the presidency was aided by collusion with Russia. In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Florida, Trump accuses his opponents of manufacturing

Allies From Page One gathering of leaders, planned in just days, was convened largely to send a signal of resolve to Putin while ensuring NATO allies remain on the same page as they plot additional measures against Moscow and prepare for scenarios that could draw them deeper into the conflict. “We are determined to continue to impose consequences on Russia to bring about an end to this brutal war,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said as he opened the meeting, expressing support for Ukraine, recognizing “the great courage” of its people and of those inside Russia “who are bravely speaking out against the war.” “We hear the voices,” he said. “They matter.” The meetings come one month to the day since the war began and at what could be a critical juncture for the fate of Ukraine, Europe and the world. “Putin can’t afford to lose this struggle. By the same token, President Biden can’t afford to lose this struggle,” said Thomas Graham, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who has handled Russia issues on the National Security Council in Democratic and Republican administrations. Despite certain optimism in the West, Graham said, “there’s a great deal of devastation that Putin can do over the next several weeks.” NATO leaders began a closed session Thursday after posing for a “family photo,” ratifying the plan Stoltenberg first outlined Wednesday to double the number of battle groups in Eastern Europe. That will result in deploying more forces to Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. The alliance had already doubled its initial troop presence on its eastern flank since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine on Feb, 24. “Today’s establishment of four new battle groups in Slova-

monitoring and data review by the air district,” Damian Breen, senior deputy executive officer of operations/enforcement at the air district, said in the statement. “Penalties resulting from

the Russian collusion story in a bid to undermine the legitimacy of his campaign, his Electoral College victory and his presidency. “Hillary Clinton and her cohorts orchestrated an unthinkable plot – one that shocks the conscience and is an affront to this nation’s democracy,” attorneys for the former president wrote. “The defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican

opponent . . . was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty. The actions taken in furtherance of their scheme – falsifying evidence, deceiving law enforcement, and exploitingaccesstohighlysensitive data sources – are so outrageous, subversive and incendiary that even the events of Watergate pale in comparison.” Trump’s ties to Russia were brought up as a campaign issue repeatedly in 2016, with Clinton calling him a “puppet” of Russian

President Vladimir Putin during a nationally televised debate. The extent of the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia were investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller, whose report on Russian interference became a political Rorschach test after it was released in March 2019. According to Trump’s lawsuit, the allegations of collusion were nothing more than political theater aimed at “destroying” Trump’s life and political career.

kia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary is a strong signal that we will collectively defend and protect every inch of NATO territory,” Biden said in a statement following the NATO leaders’ meeting. There are 100,000 U.S. troops stationed in Europe, roughly 20,000 more than were there before Russia attacked. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s president, addressed the summit via video, asking the alliance to step up military assistance to help his country fight back. “The world is waiting. Ukraine is waiting. For real action, for real security guarantees, from those whose word is to be trusted and whose actions can really preserve peace,” Zelenskyy said. “We need peace now. The response is yours.” Zelenskyy has made similar requests in speeches to lawmakers in Washington, Berlin, Ottawa and other Western capitals in recent days. Biden touted the $1 billion in new security assistance for Ukraine, which included anti-aircraft systems, anti-tank missiles, drones, heavy weaponry and ammunition, telling reporters that “our weapons are flowing into Ukraine as I speak.” And he suggested in a statement that other countries would be sending additional aid: “We are committed to identifying additional equipment, including air defense systems, to help Ukraine.” Biden arrived in Brussels on Wednesday evening and was also participating in meetings Thursday afternoon with the G-7 leaders and the European Commission. He will hold a news conference before traveling to Poland on Friday. The discussions among leaders, said Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan, would include planning for numerous “potential contingencies,” including what to do in the event that Russia launches cyberattacks against the U.S. or other NATO countries or uses chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine. Under NATO’s Article

5, an attack against one member nation is considered an attack against all. Since Russia began its war in Ukraine, NATO members have imposed severe economic sanctions, taken steps to ban or limit imports of Russian energy and contributed billions in defense aid to Ukraine. They are attempting to punish Moscow as severely as possible while steering clear of any direct military engagement that Putin could use to justify expanding the conflict into NATO territory. Putin, allies fear, may seek to escalate the conflict out of frustration over his brazen campaign’s lack of progress. Russian officials seemed to have believed the invasion would take just days but instead has bogged down as the war enters its second month. Perhaps as many as 10,000 Russian troops have been killed by Ukraine’s military and resistance fighters, which Wednesday halted the eastern advance on Kyiv and pushed back Russian troops several miles. NATO agreed Thursday it would provide Ukraine with detection and protective equipment, medical support and training for decontamination and crisis management in the event of a Russian chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack, Stoltenberg said. In a joint statement issued by the leaders of all 30 member nations, the alliance vowed that “any use by Russia of a chemical or biological weapon would be unacceptable and result in severe consequences.” During his 30-minute news conference ahead of the third and final meeting with EU leaders, Biden clarified that NATO “will respond” if Putin uses chemical weapons. “The nature of the response will depend on the nature of the use,” he said. With Russia struggling to conquer Ukrainian territory, Putin has increasingly unleashed artillery, bombs and missiles against civilian targets, prompting Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken on Wednesday to formally

declare that the U.S. has concluded Russia’s actions against Ukraine constitute war crimes. The crisis in Ukraine has taken Biden’s own chosen frame for his presidency – a historic confrontation pitting democracies versus autocracies – beyond the theoretical. It has also served as the impetus for reinvigorating a transatlantic alliance that, some seven decades after World War II, had seemed to be losing its focus and shared purpose. But Stephen Sestanovich, an expert on Russia at the Council on Foreign Relations, said Biden will have to ensure NATO members enact more sanctions and take other concrete steps to punish Russia if he wants the meeting to be considered an operational success. It remains unclear how much further some European countries are willing to go. While Germany, for example, has committed to increasing defense spending and halted the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to its Baltic coast, it continues to rely on Russian energy, as do many other European countries. “This war is accelerating Europe’s awakening to the real threat posed by Russia,” said Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer, transAtlantic security research director for the German Marshall Fund. “But it seems that the European Union has pretty much reached the limit of what it actually can do because if we really wanted to act seriously and cause pain to Russia, it would involve limiting our imports of gas and oil,” Scheffer said, adding that some countries have declared they cannot take such action. Calling the coming days “a tipping-point phase of conflict” because Russia may be encountering difficulties on the ground while Ukraine is fighting hard but desperate for more aid, Scheffer said NATO countries needed to “accelerate our support before it’s too late. It’s not a question of months or weeks, it’s a question of days.”

MARE ISLAND — The Mare Island Dry Dock LLC is indeed hoping more ships will come in after announcing $13 million in new private investment to expand its repair capabilities to include U.S. Navy vessels. The investment is new turn at the shipyard after it was closed in 1996. What was once the proud home of shipbuilding could now be repurposed into one of the largest ship repair docks on the West Coast. Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, joined Mare Island Dry Dock President Steve DiLeo and many local and county leaders in announcing the new project. A press conference took place Wednesday morning next to the sail memorial of the historic Mariano G. Vallejo submarine. “I’m just plain excited about what we are doing today,” Garamendi said. “Mare Island has long been a part of American West history. This place

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday agreed to use $15,000 from the general fund to replace general assistance benefits that have been swiped from client Electronic Benefits Transfer cards. The EBT cards are used for the CalWORKs, CalFresh and other program recipients, including general assistance. “Beginning late 2021, counties throughout California began reporting that CalWORKs, CalFresh and general assistance

FAIRFIELD — With the threat of a destructive wildfire season looming, Legislation advanced this week from Sen. Bill Dodd that would enhance wildfire prevention in California through the implementation of a $20 million prescribed fire claims fund. “Prescribed burning is one of the most effective means of wildfire prevention, which is why I wrote the law last year to encourage greater

use of this proven technique,” Dodd, D-Napa, said in a press release. “My new bill continues our efforts to encourage greater use of prescribed fire by ensuring those who practice this time-tested technique can have some protection from any unintended costs.” Prescribed fire, also known as controlled burning, has been used for centuries to clear tinderdry trees and brush that are known to fuel runaway wildfires. Rarely do prescribed fires escape their bounds and cause damage

recipients were experiencing benefits being ‘swiped’ or removed from their EBT cards,” the staff report to the board states. CalWORKs and CalFresh recipients are directed to file police reports, along with a state form, when benefits have been illegally removed from their cards. “In Solano County, to date, there have been 69 swiping reports received and reported for CalWORKs benefits and six reports for CalFresh. For CalWORKs and CalFresh benefits, repayments are reimbursed by the state general fund,” the staff report states.

However, general assistance is funded by the county and four general assistance clients, to date “have been victims of having their benefits ‘swiped’ or stolen from their EBT cards, representing approximately $1,440 in benefits.” “Recipients reporting their benefits were swiped will be required to follow the same process that is required for CalWORKs and CalFresh recipients,” the staff report states. The board also amended the county write-off policy to include those loan benefits that have been stolen.

Caltrans plans closure of EB I-80 exit, I-680 connecter in Fairfield Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Caltrans has scheduled weekend closure of the eastbound Interstate 80 Green Valley Road exit and the connector ramp to Interstate 680. The ramps will be shut down from 9 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Monday as the Interstate 80/Interstate 680/Highway 12 Interchange Project continues. The closures will allow Caltrans to construct transition lanes and shoulders at the interchange. Caltrans said detours will be clearly marked. All work is weather-permitting. The detour route for the eastbound I-80 Green Valley Road exit will be as follows: n Continue on eastbound I-80 past the Green Valley Road exit. n From eastbound

We would just take it another step up to be able and serve combat-type vessels. We are hiring now and expect the expansion to happen fully within 18 months.” The investment is being made to help the shipyard prepare for MIL-STD-

It is a follow-up to Senate Bill 332, written by Dodd and signed into law last year, which protects landowners and prescribed fire managers from having to pay fire suppression expenses unless they have acted with gross negligence. SB 926 is sponsored by The Nature Conservancy. It passed the Senate Natural Resources committee.

1625D dock certification. What’s important for potential workers is that these are good-paying jobs. The average salary for positions at Mare Island Dry Dock is more than $100,000 per year and only requires a high school diploma or relevant experience. One group the dock is hoping to target for employment is veterans. The company wants to play a key role in helping veterans shift from military to civilian careers. “This is a big, big deal for Vallejo and the surrounding communities,” Garamendi said. “There’s just not enough repair facilities on the West Coast. This is an opportunity for employment and re-enhancing what used to be one of the key facilities on the West Coast.” Garamendi is the chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness. The Readiness Committee oversees in excess one-third of the Department of Defense’s

annual budget, has jurisdiction over 1,100 military installations and bases worldwide and oversees all U.S. military training, logistics and equipment maintenance. One of Garamendi’s responsibilities is to help the Navy find locations for ship repairs. Though they have an advocate in Garamendi, the Mare Island Dry Dock would still be required to put in its own bid and compete with other docks for contracts. The channel could require dredging for the new ships coming into dock, but Garamendi said it would not serve the large nuclear ships. Garamendi said he and Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, have met with other leaders and that dredging in the Bay Area and the Delta is “critically important” and they are prepared to make money available for the work.

Supervisors told feral cat programs in place, but pandemic funds are not directly eligible Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors have listened in recent months to a number of requests, often emotional and sometimes graphic, to do something about the growing community cat population. The primary request is for the county to fund a trap-neuter-return program using the volunteer groups already working in the community, representatives of which have complained about having to go outside the county for timely, affordable veterinarian services. Some of the proponents have called on the county to use American Rescue Plan Act funding. The board was told Tuesday that ARPA funds cannot be used for such a purpose. “Initial analysis is such use would not be consistent with U.S. Treasury guidelines to fund ongoing staffing and services. Possible use of ARPA funds for programs such as vouchers to address shortterm impacts including public health and disproportionate economic impacts associated with the increased cat population caused by reduced services available during the Covid-19 pandemic is still being evaluated,” the staff report to the board states. The board, in past discussions, has been told that federal pandemic funds can be designated to the county to cover revenue losses related to the pandemic, and with the guideline strings cut, could then be used

A feral cat hides under a gutter along Chadbourne Road in Fairfield, Jan. 27. for any general government service the Board of Supervisors chooses. The Sheriff’s Office reported it has a trap-neuter-return program. “Animal Care offers low-cost spay/neuter services at the Solano County Animal Clinic to pet owners, the public and local organizations who partner with Animal Care for TNR,” the staff report states. “Animal Care currently schedules 25 TNR procedures per week by appointment, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As staff vacancies are filled, Animal Care will increase the number of service days back to three to include an increase in the number of TNR appointments.” Animal Care contacted 31 veterinary hospitals in November to develop a TNR voucher program, but 28 were not willing or able to participate, and three indicated a $100 voucher program would be feasible at some point but were unable to participate at that time due to Covid-19 operational impacts. Sheriff Tom Ferrara

said he would use salary savings in his budget to up the voucher price to $250, but tempered expectations because he has found veterinarians are extremely busy coming out of the pandemic. He said it has taken three months to get an appointment for his own dog. “Animal Care staff plan to revisit this concept

as Covid-19 impacts on potential veterinary operations diminish, initiating this program depending on the willingness of veterinary hospitals to participate,” the staff report states. “In March of 2022, Animal Care implemented a Trap Loan Program, in which community members can borrow a trap for seven days in order to trap community cats and bring them in for TNR services.” Officials noted that during February, Spay/ Neuter Awareness Month, 18 community cats that had been trapped were neutered or spayed. There were 30 procedures in all. Officials said in order to expand the spay/neuter program from three days to five, Animal Care would need to add two fulltime registered veterinary technicians, one office assistant and increase

contracted veterinarian hours by 16 each week. That would allow up to 75 procedures per week, the staff report states. “However, these are already hard-to-fill positions for Solano County Animal Care at this time,” the report states. It also would likely require adding to the costs the cities pay for the county doing Animal Control services. The report did not state what the extra costs would be. Additionally, working with the county Health and Social Services and various law enforcement agencies, Animal Care, twice a month, provides free medical services,

including spay or neutering, for pets of homeless residents. The cost is covered by donations. There was no action taken by the board. The agenda item was a presentation only. It included an overview of other services by Animal Control, noting that during the 2020-2021 fiscal year it impounded 5,050 animals, of which 500 were surrendered by the pets’ owners. There were 18,000 dog licenses issued, and 700 animals were put in foster care – mostly kittens. The county euthanized 492 animals, the majority due to health issues, officials said.

Roberts guarantees Dodgers 2022 World Series win Tribune Content Agency One year after finishing second to the Giants in the NL West and being knocked out of the playoffs by the eventual champion Atlanta Braves, the Dodgers are gunning again for a World Series title. And manager Dave Roberts is confident in his team. “We will win the World Series in 2022,” Roberts said Thursday on the Dan Patrick Show. “We will

win the World Series this year. Put it on record.” It seems Roberts wanted to make a statement to his team and to the rest of the baseball world that the Dodgers’ expectations are sky-high entering 2022. And he has good reason. Roberts won the title with the Dodgers in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, then finished one game behind the Giants for the division crown and MLB’s best record. Los Angeles

beat the Giants in a tense five-game divisional series before the Braves knocked them out in six games in the NLCS. The Dodgers responded by signing the face of the Braves, first baseman Freddie Freeman, to a six-year, $162 million contract in free agency after losing shortstop Corey Seager to the Rangers. They also won’t have 2021 midseason pitching acquisition Max Scherzer, who was lights-out for them after

arriving from Washington last fall. Trea Turner, who they acquired alongside Scherzer, is expected to take Seager’s spot at short. The Giants, like they did last season, have taken a less star-studded approach to building their 2022 roster as president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi has focused on shoring up the rotation – re-signing Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood while adding Alex Cobb and Carlos Rondón – and creating a flexible group of

position players to match up against a variety of opponents. San Francisco let its big midseason acquisition walk in free agency, too, as Kris Bryant signed a seven-year, $182 million deal with the Rockies. Roberts’ response was born out of a finish-thesentence prompt from Patrick: The Dodgers will win the World Series if . . . “We play a full season and there is a postseason,” Roberts said. In answering the spirit of Patrick’s prompt, about

a key to the Dodgers’ success, Roberts pointed to his pitching staff. “We are winning the World Series if our starting staff stays healthy,” Roberts said. “I know that’s vague but that’s my answer.” Both the Dodgers and the Giants have taken steps in recent years to ensure their starting pitchers aren’t overtaxed, planning to use more than the standard five-man rotation over the course of the year.

defeating the Gonzaga Bulldogs 68-74 in the Sweet Sixteen at Chase Center, Thursday, in San Francisco.

Arkansas stuns top-seeded Gonzaga in San Francisco Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — Gonzaga’s dream of winning a national championship will have to wait at least another year. The top-seeded Zags, in their seventh straight trip to the Sweet 16, were sent home by an Arkansas team whose speed and aggression added up to a 74-68 victory at the Chase Center on Thursday evening. The Zags (28-4) reached the national championship game in 2017 and again last year, only to be turned away. The Razorbacks (28-8) took the lead 3 minutes into the second half and never gave it back. The loss is the second

in a month in the Bay Area for the Zags, who fell, 67-57, at Saint Mary’s in the regular-season finale on Feb. 26. The Hogs, who have advanced to the Elite Eight round for the second straight season under former Warriors coach Eric Musselman, will play in Saturday against the winner of the Duke-Texas Tech game. Down nine points with less than 7 minutes left, Gonzaga got no closer three points the rest of the way. Drew Timme scored 25 points for the Zags, but Andrew Nembhard, championed by coach Mark Few as the nation’s top point guard, made just one of his first nine

shots before dropping in a running 3-pointer with 16.5 seconds left. Eight seconds later his driving layup try was smothered at the rim by Davonte Davis. Freshman 7-footer Chet Holmgren, expected to be a top-3 pick in the NBA draft, had 11 points and 14 rebounds but often was a step slow on defense and fouled out with 3:29 to play. Arkansas point guard JD Notae had 21 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals, but hoisted 29 shots and was 2 for 12 on 3-point tries. Jaylin Williams contributed 15 points and 12 rebounds and Trey Wade also scored 15. The back-and-forth

continued early in the second half but the Zags developed the first serious foul issue when Holmgren was whistled for his third with 15:56 left. Few left him in the game and Holmgren avoided further trouble until bumping Au’Diese Toney, who converted a layup and free throw for a 52-46 Hogs’ lead with 8:36 left. For the third straight game the Zags found themselves in a firsthalf battle, trailing 32-29. They were up just 35-33 against Georgia State before winning 93-72 and they trailed Memphis 41-31, ulti-

Duke’s perfect finishing kick sent the Blue Devils to the NCAA tournament’s Elite Eight Thursday night. The Blue Devils didn’t miss a shot from the field over the game’s final 8 minutes and 19 seconds, allowing them to break away from a nip-and-tuck game and beat No. 12 Texas Tech 78-73 at the Chase Center in San Francisco. The win sends No. 2 seeded Duke (31-6) into the West Regional final where the Blue Devils meet No. 4 seed Arkansas in the West Regional final Saturday night at approximately 5:45 p.m. The Razorbacks (28-8) upset the tournament’s top seed Gonzaga, 74-68, earlier Thursday night. Paolo Banchero scored 22 points to lead Duke, which hit its final eight shots from the field to shoot

70.4% (17 of 24) in the second half. The Blue Devils shot 51.9% overall and emerged a winner in a thrilling game that saw 13 lead changes and 11 ties. Mark Williams scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half for the Blue Devils. Sophomore guard Jeremy Roach continued his hot March with 15 points and five assists. With the Red Raiders (27-10) up 56-52, Banchero started Duke’s finishing rush with a 3-pointer at 8:19. Texas Tech led 68-66 when Kevin McCullar, who scored 17 points, hit a 3-pointer with 3:16 to play. But Banchero answered with his own 3-pointer at 2:55, igniting a 7-0 Duke run that turned the game in its favor. Roach hit two tough baskets, with a jumper and shot in the lane, on Duke’s next two possessions to give the Blue Devils a

Trentin Schmidt went 2-for-3 with a triple and a sacrifice fly, while Grant Kerr didn’t allow a hit over the final three scoreless innings to get the save, fanning three and walking one.

and 1-4 in the MEL. In the JV game, Rodriguez rolled to an 11-1 victory. Wood 9, Fairfield 4: At Fairfield on Thursday, the Wildcats (5-6, 2-3) enjoyed three-run innings in the second, third and fifth frames, while the Falcons (4-8, 0-5) could only counter with three in the third and one in the sixth. Wood 2, Fairfield 1: At Vacaville on Tuesday, the Wildcats rallied for two runs in the bottom of the sixth to edge the Falcons with Dayton Hicks firing a four-hitter, striking out nine and walking none. Randy Chalmers and Xavier Melgoza each plated runs for Wood, with Jarren Ford and Kai Koizumi each going 2-for-3 and Bryce Mendez-Dichoso ripping a double. Zack O’Reilly drove in Pat O’Reilly with the Falcons’ lone run with Christian Rambeau going the distance, scattering eight hits while striking out four and walking two. Vacaville Christian 27, Esparto 3: At Esparto on Tuesday, John Elliott and Bryce Pazdel each belted home runs and Aiden Stevens drove in six runs to power the Falcons past the Spartans. Elliott, who went 3-for-4, added two doubles and three RBIs, while Stevens had two hits, including a double, with Teagan Gonzales hitting two doubles and Steve Dingman, who had two hits, getting a triple and four RBIs. Pazdel drove in four runs and scored three with Elliott crossing the plate four times, while Thomas Lane, Stevens and Gonzales each came in three times. Elliott, Josh Brumfield and Rafa Rios combined to strike out nine and allow five hits and one

73-68 lead. Duke hit five of six free throws in the final 25 seconds to seal the win and reach the Elite Eight for the third time in the last four NCAA tournaments. With Duke struggling on offense, Texas Tech took a 33-29 halftime lead. Although Duke hit 5 of its first 7 shots after halftime, the Red Raiders kept finding driving lanes to the basket and built a 46-40 lead with 15:06 to play. After a timeout, the Blue Devils made their defensive switch to a 2-3 zone and it sparked a rally. The Blue Devils unleashed a 9-1 run as Texas Tech went four minutes without a field goal. Williams started the rally with two free throws and Theo John rebounded and scored off a Roach missed 3-pointer. See Duke, Page B9

Wood 8, Fairfield 2: At Vacaville on Wednesday, the Falcons (5-6, 0-3) scored first with two runs in the top of the second inning it was all Wildcats after that as the home team took the lead for good with four runs in the fourth and added three in the sixth. For Fairfield, Nikki O’Reilly went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, with Tatianna Scott going 2-for-3 and Adrianna Gutierrez-Davis driving in the other run. Madison Cox went the distance in the circle and deserved a better fate as four errors led to six unearned runs. The senior yielded nine hits and two walks with two strikeouts.

MST’s ‘Nunsense’

Crossword

blesses Fairfield with heavenly hilarity

Tony Wade

DAILY REPUBLIC CORRESPONDENT

wise saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” So instead of coming up with a new, succinct paragraph that sums up my experience on opening night of Missouri Street Theatre’s latest offering, “Nunsense,” I’m going to repurpose the same unbroken paragraph I used when I saw them perform the show in 2009 and 2015: “The quintet of wisecrackin’, song-beltin’, toe-tappin’, double-entendre-bomb-droppin’ nuns starring in the Missouri Street Theatre’s production of ‘Nunsense’ may not have taken vows of poverty or chastity, but evidently did take one of hilarity as the show was a fun-filled romp from start to finish.” “Nunsense,” with a book, music and lyrics by Dan Goggin, is a musical comedy that, believe it or not, began life as a line of greeting cards. It then morphed into a cabaret show before eventually being fleshed out into a full-length musical. “Nunsense” is the second-longest-running OffBroadway show in history and first opened Dec. 12, 1985. It has six sequels, three spin-offs and was adapted for television in a 1993 special starring Rue McClanahan of ‘The Golden Girls.” The show’s plot is basically a nod to those old Little Rascals “let’s put on a show to raise some money” types, but with a Catholic-nuns-from-New Jersey twist. Now, I’m not Catholic so perhaps I’m not the best one to judge, but the mocking of Catholic conventions seems to be mostly good-natured. I mean, compared to, say, “The Book of Mormon.” The main thing is it is very funny. The cast and crew have changed over MST’s three iterations of the show, but the one constant has been Dae Spering. As she did in the past productions, Spering wore two habits – one as Sister Robert Anne and one as the director. Now, this is not going to come out right, but I’m going to try anyway: I always love to bask in the sonic glory of Spering unleashing her voice live on stage. She was magnificent on “Playing Second Fiddle,” “Robert to The Rescue” and the showstopper “I Just Want to Be a Star.” But a personal highlight of the show that I have loved each time has been when she hops on an exercise bike during a brief spoof of “The Wizard of Oz” and channels Margaret Hamilton with some delightful cackles and an exhortation for her flying monkeys to take wing.

HHH (OUT OF FOUR) just love that. Beth Ellen Ethridge made her MST debut in “The Sound of Music” in December and she appears to have found a home. As Sister Mary Regina Mother Superior, she was overbearing to her charges, played the straight nun to their hijinks and also performed some hijinks of her own. Especially hysterical was when she – spoiler alert – inadvertently got high on some inhalants in the first act. Ethridge was in fine voice on “Turn up the Spotlight” and “A Word from Reverend Mother,” among others. Jeffrie Givens, who played Sister Mary Hubert, has been given songs that fit her powerfully emotive and soulful voice in past MST shows like “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Hair,” so I couldn’t wait to hear her take on one of my fave tunes in the show, “Holier Than Thou.” It was well worth the wait. She also crushed “Tackle That Temptation with a Time Step” and others. Emily Owens Evans, who plays Sister Mary Amnesia in the current show, also played a nun in MST’s “The Sound of Music.” One might think she was being typecast, but the range of her abilities is evident in that she also played Janet Weiss in last year’s annual “Rocky Horror Show.” Speaking of her range, one of the highlights of the entire “Nunsense” production was when she shared the stage with a

puppet and hit sweet, piercing and powerful operatic notes and alternated them with the puppet’s talking/singing in a gruff Oscar the Grouch-type voice in “So You Want To Be a Nun.” It was remarkable. I have seen Macey Cook, who plays Sister Mary Leo, grow up on the Missouri Street Theatre stage going back to when they still performed on Missouri Street. I have come to expect excellence from this talented young woman and she always delivers. In “Benedicite,” she displayed the full triple threat (acting/singing/dancing) package and her ballet moves were, well, heavenly. If there is any fair criticism of the show it is that some of the musical’s references are a li’l crusty and clearly for old . . . er, I mean, classic people like myself. I’m not sure some of the audience members who belong to generations near the end of the alphabet got the references to Carmen Miranda or Gloria Swanson in “Sunset Boulevard.” Missouri Street Theatre’s production features lots of wink-wink-nudge-nudge audience participation. It started with a pre-show quiz where guests could win prizes like Testamints (mints with Bible verses on the wrappers) and Jesus Loves You bracelets. There was also a dance contest at intermission (the first song they danced to was AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell”), which was a scream and the young man who won busted some serious moves and took home a plushy Jesus doll. I had hoped to win the Bingo game at the break so I could donate the money back to the MST Youth Theatre fund. I won it in 2009, kept the cash (like 12 bucks) and has Dae held it over my head for years. I didn’t win this time so my guilt continues. In addition to actors, the eight-piece band led by F. James Raasch killed it the entire show. All of the other elements (set, lighting, choreography, etc.) were up to the exacting MST standards I have come to expect. A lot of us have prayed for the return of theater in the darkest days of the pandemic. So now that it is back it would be, well, a sin to miss this most entertaining show.

‘Belfast’ star Hill delighted by Oscar noms for Branagh’s ‘beautiful story’

Chicago Fire ’ Movie

For breakthrough “Belfast” star Jude Hill, the power of his Oscarnominated drama is more than black and white. The 11-year-old actor, who won best young actor at the Critics Choice Awards this month, says the entire cast and crew realized they were telling a special story as they worked on Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical movie about a boy growing up in Northern Ireland during the social unrest of the late 1960s. Hill, who plays the central child, Buddy, believes anyone can relate to something or someone in the heartfelt coming-of-age story. “Maybe they moved away from home at a very young age,” Hill told the Daily News. “Maybe they saw themselves with the character Buddy. Maybe they saw themselves with Pop, Ma, Pa. I think everyone sort of sees themselves in it a little bit.” The black-and-white film, which Branagh wrote and directed, is nominated for seven Oscars at Sunday’s Academy Awards, including best picture and best original screenplay. Hill, who is from Northern Ireland, says the recognition “means the world” to the movie’s makers. “We are all are so close and we all worked hard as a team to produce this beautiful story of Ken’s,” Hill said. “We all hope and think we have done him proud. We would love for Ken to get the recognition he deserves.” The movie is set toward the beginning of the Troubles, a decadeslong conflict often characterized by turmoil between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland. Hill hadn’t learned about the Troubles in school yet when he began working on the film, but says his co-stars and parents, as well as documentaries and informational videos, helped him “get into the head of someone” who lived through the era. He also said Branagh helped him find his way

Jamie Dornan, left, and Jude Hill in “Belfast.” into his character. “I remember during rehearsals, he would just tell me stories of him as a child,” Hill said. “Maybe him getting in trouble with school teachers or . . . about football games. Really just anything he remembered from his childhood. I’ve got to say, it helped so much.” Hill stars in the film with Jamie Dornan and Caitriona Balfe, who play Buddy’s parents, as well as Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds, who are nominated for supporting acting Oscars for their portrayals of his grandparents. Hill said he quickly connected with his character through a shared love of movies, family and soccer. “In the film, Buddy is a Tottenham Hotspurs fan, and even though I’m a Liverpool fan, we’re both die-hard football fans,” Hill said. It’s been an eventful awards season for Hill, who says he’s loved meeting celebrities at the different ceremonies while dressed up in his junior-size tuxedo. He was recently invited by Jared Leto to attend the premiere of the actor’s new Marvel movie, “Morbius,” and even ran into one of his idols, Andrew Garfield. “Andrew Garfield was super, super nice, and he seemed to have enjoyed the film a lot, and he seemed to have enjoyed me a lot, which is something that I never would’ve thought would happen,” Hill gushed. “Belfast” marks the first feature film for Hill. He said Dench and Hinds were constantly joking and reminded him of his own grandparents. “I will never forget being on set with Ken everyday and I will take all his advice with me along the way,” Hill said. “How lucky was I?”

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 04/20/22 at 9:00AM in Dept. 22 located at 600 Union Ave., Fairfield, CA 94533 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 833-561-0243 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000007099872. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder", you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 833-561-0243, or visit this internet website WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM using the file number assigned to this case 00000007099872 to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

points as the Red Raiders built a 56-52 lead with 9:24 left. Duke pushed back with five points in a row on a Banchero 3-pointer and two Williams free throws to lead 57-56 with 7:43 to play. And the lead continued to see-saw back and forth from there. In the first half, Texas Tech hit Duke hard in the game’s first five minutes as the Blue Devils committed three turnovers and started 1 of 5 from the field to trail 10-2.

But with the Red Raiders leading 12-4, the Blue Devils settled down to work their half-court offense far better. An 8-0 Duke run forced the first of five first-half ties. Roach gave Duke its first lead of the game, at 24-22, on a jumper in the lane with 7:47 to play. But Kevin Obanor drilled his second 3-pointer of the game to put Texas Tech back in front 25-24 and the Red Raiders held the lead the remainder of the half.

Obanor’s basket in the lane with 1:12 left in the half gave the Red Raiders a 33-26 lead before Banchero drove to dunk while drawing a foul with 12.6 seconds left. His free throw cut Duke’s halftime deficit to 33-29. The scoring output was Duke’s second-lowest of any first half this season. The Blue Devils shot just 36.7% overall, including a frigid 3 of 11 (27.3%) on 3-pointers.

played at a frantic pace. Arkansas made 38% of its shots in the half and was 2 for 12 from beyond the 3-point arc. Gonzaga converted just 35%, including 3 for 13 deep. The Zags twice led by

eight points, the last time after a fast-break layup by Rasir Bolton that made it 27-19 with 6:29 left in the half. But Gonzaga went eight possessions without scoring, missing five

straight shots – many of them from close range – and committing three of its nine first-half turnovers. That helped fueled a 9-0 Arkansas go-ahead burst that became a 13-2 run closing the half.
