FAIRFIELD — Solano County has not had a Covid-related death reported for two weeks, and the number of residents in hospitals with positive coronavirus tests continues to be below 10.

The county Public Health Division reported on Thursday 87 new cases since Monday’s report, a daily average of 29 and

a 10-day average of 22. Both are slightly up from recent reports, but much lower than during the winter surge.

The case count for the pandemic is 84,751. The number of deaths is 413.

The number of residents in the hospital with a positive test was reported at seven, up from Monday’s report of five. The number of patients in area intensive care units with Covid-19 was not imme-

diately available.

Most of the new cases were reported in Fairfield where 31 cases took the city’s count to 22,698. Vallejo added 26 cases for a new total of 25,546. Vacaville is at 21,669 after 19 new counts, the county reported.

Suisun City (5,955) added four new cases; Dixon (4,347) and Rio Vista (1,192) each See Covid, Page A9

Challenger to District Attorney’s Office gets ‘debate’ stage to herself Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County District Attorney candidate Sharon Henry had everyone’s attention.

Henry, a chief deputy in the District Attorney’s Office for the past eight years and is challenging District Attorney Krishna Abrams for the top seat, was the lone participant at the Solano County Bar Association

candidate forum held Wednesday at Paradise Valley Estates.

It drew under 30 people to the clubhouse, with another dozen who were expected to HENRY watch remotely.

Henry answered 15 questions on about a dozen topics, and afterward, engaged with some audience members

who had more personalized questions that were not asked, including at least one about the lawsuit she has brought against the county.

O l i v e r Ehlinger, the past president of the association and moderator of the event, said the format was by design. The association was looking

for “substantive questions,” mostly from its 160 members, that would have appealed to both candidates regarding the function of the office.

Henry offered several themes that punctuated her night at the microphone, including the need for the District Attorney’s Office to be more independent so it can address law See Stage, Page A9

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, promoting the appellate judge to a lifetime seat no Black woman has ever occupied.

Jackson, 51, becomes only the sixth woman and third Black justice to ascend to the high court, which will for the first time have two Black members, three members of color and four women.

Jackson shattered the proverbial glass ceiling with the Senate’s 53-47 confirmation vote.

Three Republicans – Sens.

Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah – joined every Democrat in supporting President Joe Biden’s historic nominee.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., presided over the Senate as it passed a key hurdle Thursday afternoon, and Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the chamber during the final vote.

Biden’s first appointment to the Supreme Court won’t alter the ideological balance of a bench that now has a 6-3 conservative majority.

But in appointing the first Black female justice, Biden hopes to energize Democrats heading into the midterm election and strengthen the court’s liberal minority with a new member who could serve for decades.

Jackson won’t be formally sworn in until this summer. Retiring Justice Stephen G. Breyer said he will step down at the end of the court’s current term, which will come at the end of June or early July, when the decisions in all the pending cases have been issued. Those include some potentially far-reaching rulings on abortion, guns, religion and climate change that Jackson will not take part in.

That gives Jackson, who once served as a law clerk for the justice she is replacing, the summer to prepare for the new term in October, which will include cases on the future of affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act. Justices will hear arguments concerning the use of race as an admissions factor at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.

Jackson, a Harvard alum, said she will not take part in the Harvard case See Judge, Page A9

The front cover of Tony Wade’s second History Press book, “Lost Restaurants of Fairfield, California,” which will be published July 4. in February and was able to lock in the super-cool July 4 publication date.

So what is the new book about? Well, it is, of course, similar to the first one that had a chapter called “Let’s Eat!” in it, but it goes into much more detail and obviously has a narrower focus. Among other things, it has several little-known facts about the history of the eateries that are highlighted, the restaurateurs who ran them and poignant/ funny/thought-provoking remembrances from members of the aforementioned Facebook group.

I am not blowing my own horn or patting myself on the back (I mean, if I was able to do that simultaneously I would have achieved my dream of being on “That’s Incredible!” back in the day), but I am proud of this new book as it required a lot of focused effort. The first was mainly drawn from the 10 years of “Back in the Day” columns I have written, but this one is probably 90% new stuff I had to come up with – and find accompanying images.

Longtime residents knew the best Mexican food north of Tijuana could be found at Dan & Ruth’s Café, and Voici, where the movers and shakers met, claimed the crown as swankiest spot in town.

Family of Fairfield founder donates Waterman portrait Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The family of the city’s founder, Capt. Robert Waterman, has donated a portrait of the recordsetting merchant sea captain.

A ceremony recognizing the donation is set for 10:30 a.m. Friday in the quad area of the City Hall complex, 1000 Webster St. Known as Bully Waterman, also Bully Bob Waterman, the sea captain set sailing records, including his time of 74 days from Hong Kong to New York City in a sail-powered vessel, the Sea Witch, a ship he helped design and later purchased.

He was born in Hudson, New York, and according to published accounts, first went to sea at age 12.

He famously, or infamously, had a troubled

voyage on a poorly crewed vessel, the Challenge. He reportedly used a high level of violence against his crew members, leading to a mutiny, much of it directed at the actions of his first mate, James Douglass, who was particularly harsh with the crew, the reports state.

Waterman and Douglass were tried for crimes in San Francisco. Waterman was found guilty of three serious crimes, including murder, but apparently was never sentenced, the reports state.

Waterman retired soon after and settled in California with his wife.

There he founded Fairfield in 1856, naming the city after his former home in Connecticut.

He became a poultry and cattle rancher, and served as port warden and inspector of hulls in San Francisco. He died in 1884. He was 76.

Educators, students bring awareness to Child Abuse Prevention Month Matt Miller

MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Blue and gray pinwheels were planted in the front lawn of the Vacaville Police Station on Merchant Street early Wednesday morning to represent local victims of child abuse.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

The Solano County Office of Education’s Solano Youth Coalition Family Justice Committee joined SCOE staff members and Vacaville police representatives for the event.

National Child Abuse Prevention Month recognizes the importance of families and communities working together to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect. The campaign puts focus on prevention services and support to help protect children and produce thriving families, officials said.

“We want to share focus on violence prevention,” said Anthony Diaz, of Dixon, a member of the Youth Coalition.

“We are happy to advocate for those who may not be able to advocate for themselves.”

Diaz spoke alongside his Youth Coalition partners, Vacaville Police Chief Ian Schmutzler and Solano County Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderson on the steps of the police station.

The ceremony was one of many throughout the county as part of the “Paint the Community Blue” campaign.

Two million children received prevention ser-

SUISUN CITY — Power was expected to be returned to all residents of the Harbor Breeze Apartments in Suisun City on Thursday – nearly a week after a power pole was knocked down by what the Police Department suspects was a drunken driver.

The potential case against Samuel Beugre, 27, will be sent to the Solano County District Attorney’s Office for review on allegations of drunken driving, hit-andrun and driving without insurance, Suisun City police Commander Daniel Healey said. The DA’s Office had not received the report as of Thursday.

Healy said investigators were waiting to get back the report on bloodalcohol levels.

The incident occurred about 3:45 a.m. Saturday when the department

Pinwheels representing local victims of child abuse are seen in front of the Vacaville Police Station, Wednesday. vices in 2020, 1.2 million children received post response services – such as family preservation, family support or foster care – because of needs discovered during an investigation or alternative response, according to the national 2020 Child Maltreatment Report.

Fewer than one-quarter (21.8%) of confirmed maltreatment victims were removed from their homes during federal fiscal year 2020 because of an investigation or alternative response, according to the report.

“We want to make sure that the community is aware that it is Child Abuse Prevention Month,” said Isabel Montano, a mental health clinician in the Vacaville Police Department’s Domestic Violence Unit.

“We have 240 pinwheels

that each represent five schoolchildren who are victims of abuse.”

Johanna NowakPalmer, SCOE’s Youth Development Services Program manager, said the Vacaville PD continues to be “an amazing partner for a very long time” in getting the word out.

“When we asked them to be a part of this, they didn’t hesitate to get involved,” Nowak-Palmer said. “This brings the community together to make this issue very public. It helps bring awareness to a very violent situation.”

Schmutzler said the pinwheel is used because, “We want every child to have a wonderful childhood.”

Estrella-Henderson emphasized the need for reporting cases and bringing them to the attention of the police department. She said local educators are often the “first responders” in such cases.

“We have the opportunity to lift up this awareness in everything we do,” Estrella-Henderson said. “We do it because we get it and others might not. If you see something, say something.”

asserts that Beugre, driving a Ford Taurus, hit and knocked down a power pole in front of the apartment complex at 1101 West St. Police said he then fled the scene.

Police contacted the Suisun City man at NorthBay Medical Center.

Power was restored to two of the complex units

by Saturday afternoon, but the power line to one building with 22 units was “ripped away,” requiring a new part, Kathy Lawton, the city’s housing manager said.

The city manages about 20 of the complex’s 76 units under a rent subsidy program, three in the affected building.

One woman, not a complex resident, said that the residents were also without water, but that proved to be incorrect.

Lawton said the part to fix the power issue was supposed to arrive See Power, Page A4

Vaca man sentenced in 2019 marijuana robbery case Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Vacaville man who was arrested after being tricked by workers into hiding in a box truck, on Thursday was sentenced to 27 years-to-life in state prison.

Superior Court Judge William J. Pendergast handed down the sentence after a jury on Sept. 24 had found Mark Graham guilty of robbery, attempted robbery, assault with a firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm, the Solano County District Attorney’s Office reported.

The jury also found true the allegation that Graham had used a firearm causing great bodily injury during the robbery.

Graham, along with an accomplice – previously identified by law enforcement officials as Matthew M. Quinn, on Aug. 22, 2019, “went onto a rural property on Gates Canyon Road to rob the owners of their marijuana grow,” the District Attorney’s Office reported.

The two wore masks and impersonated deputies from the Solano County Sheriff’s Office.

“Under the guise of being police officers, the

two victims working as security officers on the property were ordered out of their tents and restrained. One of the victims suffered injuries as a result of being shot in the leg while being restrained,” the District Attorney’s Office reported.

The next day, as Graham was being chased from a Marshall Road apartment complex by sheriff’s deputies trying to serve a warrant, he ran through a creek and jumped a fence into a home’s backyard, reports at the time said.

He ran through the home on the 200 block of Woodhaven Drive

and encountered a work crew, who he asked to help hide him from pursuing deputies. They agreed, and Graham hid in their box truck.

The work crew then flagged down Vacaville police officers, who were assisting deputies in the pursuit, and told them where to find Graham.

Vacaville police then turned Graham over to the deputies, according to those reports.

Detective Charles Olmstead of the Solano County Sheriff’s Department investigated the case. The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Hunter Burnette.

Two Dodd bills address water monitoring, mobile pharmacy vans Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, had two pieces of legislation pass through important committees this week.

Legislation advanced Tuesday to improve the way the state measures and manages water, protecting supplies and ensuring efficient use in communities and agriculture.

Legislation advanced Monday that would authorize the creation of mobile pharmacy vans to bring medication and counseling to the state’s hard-to-reach communities, improving health for homeless people and many others who have inadequate access to care.

Senate Bill 832 would authorize the State Water

Resources Control Board to study if remote sensing can determine how much water is diverted from rivers and other sources.

It is intended to determine if remote sensing technology, in lieu of or in combination with existing measurement methods, enhances diversion data.

The bill passed the Senate Natural Resources and Water committee with unanimous, bipartisan support. The bill is expected to be supported by California water managers and environmental stewards.

“You can’t manage what you don’t measure, and this bill helps us more accurately track where water is going, empowering us to chart a more sustainable water future,” Dodd said in a press release. “Because with climate change, Cal-

ifornians must be vigilant about our water use. Today we take another step toward ensuring we have water for generations to come.”

Dodd’s other proposal, Senate DODD Bill 872, authorizes public agencies and others on the front lines of serving homeless and vulnerable people to operate mobile pharmacies. Each mobile unit would have a physician as part of the team to prescribe medications that can be dispensed immediately. Oversight would come from the state Board of Pharmacy.

“We must be proactive if we want to address the underlying cause of many societal challenges, including homelessness,” he said in another release.

“Many people can’t get

to the medication they need to lead healthy, productive lives, so we will bring it to them. This bill creates critical access to potentially life-saving drugs that will improve the lives of the most vulnerable Californians.”

The bill is supported by health care groups as well as Contra Costa, San Diego and Santa Clara counties. It passed the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development committee with bipartisan support.

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

Vaca council settles on final district map Matt Miller

MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — The City Council voted to keep its current district map intact with a few minor modifications at a special meeting Monday.

The vote was 5-2 with Council Members Nolan Sullivan and Jeannette

Wylie opposed. Sullivan wanted more discussion on extending District 4, his district, and Wylie wanted him to have that discussion.

Council went with Option 1, which stands truest to form from the map selected in 2018 when the city first went to by-

district voting. It is a population balanced map that lowers the city deviation from the current 23.26% to 9.06%.

Districts 2, 3 and 6 will remain fully intact, while a small population of voters is moved from District 5 to District 4, and another small population

is moved from District 1 to District 5.

The Leisure Town community remains fully in District 2. The districts are compact and contiguous and retain the core of the existing districts. The selected map See District, Page A5

FAIRFIELD — Drivers who look down at their phones for just 5 seconds while going 55 mph, will travel the length of a football field while not watching the road.

As part of April’s Distracted Driving Awareness Month, the California Highway Patrol, the California Office of Traffic Safety and Impact Teen Drivers

“are working together to increase education and enforcement efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving,” the CHP said in a statement.

“Nothing on your phone is worth endangering a life when you drive,” CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray said in the statement. “Your primary focus should always be on the road and the task of driving your vehicle safely.”

In 2021, the CHP

issued more than 55,800 citations for distracted driving, and the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System calculated that driver inattention resulted in more than 13,000 crashes.

At least 56 distracted drivers were involved in fatal crashes and nearly 6,300 other distracted drivers were involved in injury crashes throughout California.

Preliminary hearing set for man facing attempted murder charge Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — A 32-year-old Fairfield man arrested in August on suspicion of attempted murder made a Solano County Superior Court appearance Thursday, during which a readiness

conference and preliminary hearing were set for separate days.

Carlos Gomez-Jauregui will be back in court May 18, before Judge John B. Ellis in Department 23 of the Justice Center in Fairfield, for an 8:30 a.m. readiness conference. His prelimi-

In brief

City hosting workshop on Cordelia’s future FAIRFIELD — The city is holding a Cordelia Workshop regarding its General Plan project at 6 p.m. April 28, at the Cordelia Library, 5050 Business Center Drive.

It’s an opportunity for members of the public to discuss what may be missing in Cordelia and where new housing, jobs and services should be allowed.

The General Plan project, called Fairfield Forward 2050, sets the vision and goals for growth and preservation in Fairfield for years to come.

The project is in the “Alternatives” phase, the city said in a statement, developing different landuse strategies to achieve Fairfield’s vision. These “Alternatives” will present different options for the location and amount of new housing, as well as the types of housing, and land for jobs growth in various industries.

The intent of these alternatives is to get the community thinking about necessary tradeoffs and priorities for the future of Fairfield.

For more information, visit fairfieldforward.com.

Extended road closure in business park FAIRFIELD — Guittard Way, located in the Solano Business Park of Fairfield, is now closed for an extended time due to construction.

The project, which includes roadway frontage improvements and an extension of the existing cul-de-sac, began Monday and is expected to be completed by February. The schedule depends on favorable weather conditions and construction progress.

Traffic control and signage will be in place along the Guittard Way and Abernathy Road intersection.

Motorists are asked to proceed with caution.

Call Alvin Lei, senior civil engineer, at 707428-7476 or visit the city online at www.fair field.ca.gov.

Young Eagles grounded due to construction VACAVILLE — The Young Eagles first-time flight program has been canceled for April and May due to construction at the Nut Tree Airport.

The program, which took a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, relaunched in March, but has had difficulty getting off the ground.

The March event was cancelled due to weather, and now the construction issues.

The program, which gives individuals 8 to 17 the opportunities for free flights with local pilots, will resume in June, though organizers are hoping a May date is still possible. The hours are 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.

The program is operated by the Experimental Aircraft Association EAA 1230 chapter and is scheduled to run through November.

FAIRFIELD — The city is asking the public to participate in a survey regarding the new 50-acre Matt Garcia Community Park.

The park will be located in the northeast area of Fairfield, on Vanden Road,

District From Page A4 and the other options can be viewed at mapvacaville.org.

The current council is made up of Mayor Ron Rowlett, Vice Mayor Jason Roberts (District 5), and Council Members Roy Stockton (District 1), Greg Ritchie (District 2), Michael Silva (District 3), Sullivan (District 4) and Wylie (District 6). Ritchie, Sullivan and Wylie are up for re-election this year.

Silva wanted to represent the Markham area but decided to keep the natural boundary of Interstate 80 intact.

“To limit the impact, I’d like to support Option 1,” Silva said. “It’s easier for the residents to follow along. But I will say that we are all committed to

representing all residents in the city.”

Roberts also said one of the newer maps was “confusing and not clearly defined.”

Every 10 years, cities with by-district election systems must use new census data to review and, if needed, redraw district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. This process, called redistricting, ensures all districts have a nearly equal population.

Redistricting determines which neighborhoods and communities are grouped into a district for purposes of electing a council member.

The city also held public hearings on Jan. 25, Feb. 22, March 8 and March 22.

In other action Monday, the council voted to hold in-person meetings again.

My sister and I think that signing a DNR order prevents unnecessary suffering at the end of life – real CPR is not like on TV and would cause physical injuries – and that current quality of life has nothing to do with it.

Today’s birthday You’ve been impulsive in the past and now you see the benefit in being strategic. Like a poker player with killer cards, you’ll communicate carefully and your restraint will win you a premium prize. You’ll often join a fun crowd, though you’ll also find magic as you venture to places that are easier to get to when you walk alone. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 18, 4, 23 and 16.

VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). You’ll get the feeling that someone is watching over you. The one who has your back may be currently invisible or anonymous, but you can count on their protection. Go fearlessly forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). You’ve made something. Whether you love what you made or not, it now has the virtue of existing, which makes it more useful than things that don’t exist, because existing things can be observed, built upon and revised.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

While puzzles and mysteries seem fun, troubles and inconveniences don’t. Yet both could be seen from the standpoint of gaming. A lot depends on how you name the problem.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The road to becoming is paved in repetition. Be mindful of what you do time and again. For better or worse, what gets replayed will one day be a part of you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). As you look back, mixed feelings come up. Regret is an option, but there are prettier ones. The past is a big picture with a million framing options. Why not choose the ones that are more fun to look at?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). The move you most need to make next is a challenging one. Instead of shying away from emotional discomfort, move through it. Discomfort will soon give way to something beautiful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Every seed already knows how to grow itself. The planter’s job is to create the proper conditions and get out of the way.

by Phillip Alder spades is the ideal contract.

Assuming the spades were breaking 3-2, South had 12 top tricks: five spades, four hearts, one diamond and two clubs. After winning trick one, declarer drew two rounds of trumps with the queen and king. When the suit divided favorably, South cashed the spade ace and took a club finesse, guaranteeing his contract.

If the spades had been 4-1, declarer would have taken an immediate club finesse. When it won (as it must), he would have played off the hearts, discarding diamonds from hand. If an opponent ruffed in, South would have taken the probable diamond switch, drawn the last trump and repeated the club finesse. If no one ruffed in, declarer would have played a spade to the ace and taken a second club finesse.

His last diamond loser would have disappeared on the club ace.

Now watch how the original declarer played the contract. At trick two, he led a diamond to the jack and queen. West switched to a club.

Declarer put up dummy’s ace, discarded his second club on a top heart, played a diamond to the ace and ruffed a diamond with dummy’s spade five.

Finally, he drew trumps and claimed.

The approximately 45% line had worked as well as the 100% line!

Ed Sheeran wins copyright court battle over ‘Shape of You’ Bloomberg Pop star Ed Sheeran won a copyright infringement battle over his hit single “Shape of You” which he was accused of stealing from a U.K. grime artist.

Sami Switch said that Sheeran ripped off a key part of his 2015 track that made it into the song that reached No. 1 in the U.K. singles charts in Jan. 2017.

Sheeran was accused of copying his single “Oh Why,” claiming the “Oh I” hook in Sheeran’s track was similar to his. Lawyers for Chokri claimed that Sheeran was a “magpie” who habitually copied other artists during the 11 day court trial in London.

quite see it that way in a ruling published on Wednesday, when he ruled Sheeran did not deliberately or selfconsciously copy the hook and although there is similarities in the songs, there is “significant differences.”

“As they have always maintained, they created ‘Shape Of You’ together, without copying from anyone else,” Sheeran’s lawyers said in a statement referring to the writers.

Sheeran has also been embroiled in another copyright fight in the U.S. The owners of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” have accused him of copying the classic song with his release of “Thinking Out Loud.”

THIS YOUTH GENERATION

Death of a rap star

T

his week I noticed something extremely disturbing on social media. Unfortunately, yet another young rap artist was recently shot and killed. It’s sad to say that this is happening so frequently that it is no longer shocking to hear. What made this latest loss of a young life even more troubling is that the people close to him thought it was a good idea to have his body embalmed and propped up in a night club for his fans to view. They titled the event “His final performance.”

Deon D. Price The young man whose stage name is “Goonew” was just 24 years old.

There have been so many rappers killed in recent years that this career choice is becoming as dangerous of an occupation as a military infantry person or a police officer. We can go back as far as the deaths of Tupac and Biggie up to today and you will find a jaw-dropping number of casualties and tragedies from violence to drug overdoses that have taken the lives of rap artists.

It’s safe to say that the majority of these premature deaths can be attributed to the ongoing glamorization of the gangsta-thug lifestyle that has been going strong since the early ’90s. The false narrative that has continued to influence the hip-hop culture and rap industry is that you must have so called “street cred” in order to make it in the “rap game.” This narrative is further validated by high profiled rap superstars who are now mega millionaires who got their start by transforming from urban drug dealers into rap stars.

Superstars like Jay-Z, Gucci Mane, The Game, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dog, TI, Eazy E, Notorious B.I.G. are self-proclaimed former drug dealers who used their illegal activity to finance their rap careers.

Although this false narrative is far from the truth, it seems to be the model that most aspiring up-and-coming rappers are following. I have a nephew who is heavily into the rap game and I am doing my best to deter him from following this dangerous model. I warn him about the ill-spirited energy that it brings and bad company that it attracts.

There is an alarming concern of young rap artists becoming dangerously attracted to the “gangsta” or “thug” lifestyle, which is becoming more fashionable. The trend of the current generation is now using the word “gangsta” as a compliment when referencing something admired. This type of irresponsible glamorization of the gangsta lifestyle has a detrimental effect on this youth generation. These high-profiled images are being blasted, typecasted and broadcasted through social media, radio, television and film.

Concerned parents and youth workers are challenged to present a muchneeded positive image to impress upon today’s youth. I know it’s a tall task but we have no choice.

Consider this illustration: You have the ultimate prize, which is fame and fortune, as the draw. You have thousands of young artists desiring that prize. You put that prize on top of the highest peak of a mountain. All those successful rappers are already there encouraging these young artists to go for it. But . . . “Come on up at your own risk.” A few of them actually make it to the top and are equally celebrated but the mass majority unfortunately fall to their death trying to get to the top of that mountain. This is exactly what is happening in the rap industry and why we are seeing so many deaths. They are all trying to follow the motto that was made popular by another former drug dealer turned rap superstar, 50 Cent, “Get rich or die trying.”

state’s definition of them involves cosmetic features, rather than their lethality. Perfectly legal semi-automatic rifles that lack those features are available for sale everywhere in the state.

The newest effort at gun control in California, backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, would authorize personal lawsuits against the manufacturers and sellers of illegal assault rifles or ghost guns, mirroring a new Texas law allowing suits against those who perform abortions.

The legislation, Senate Bill 1327, is just a stunt – one of Newsom’s periodic jabs at a rival state. Those who could be sued under the bill are already committing criminal acts in California and a federal law prohibits suits against manufacturers of legal firearms, including the “assault weapons” that California and a few other states purport – but fail – to outlaw.

The bottom line is this: Actor Alec Baldwin’s claims notwithstanding, guns don’t fire on their own. Someone must accidentally or purposely pull the trigger and that should be the focus of efforts to reduce violence – such as more vigorous enforcement of laws banning gun possession by felons and those under court order.

That’s what always overreaching meaning monetary inequality is Elizabeth Warren cheered for during nowhere near what it is often said to be.

Of course, average folks still pay a lot in payroll and state and local taxes, the Covid virus has left a mess and our deficit could someday ruin us, but there is good news out there. It is that jobs increased by 431,000 last month as wages grew and unemployment went down to 3.6%. Biden contends his shaky plan would reduce the threatening deficit by $1 trillion over the next decade, but a far more effective plan would be to cut spending, especially given the return of earmarks, also known as pork. This is the practice whereby a member of Congress sells his vote on some issue or the other to get more money for a local project benefitting him or her politically while often being wasteful.

Not a few government programs take more than they give, and reform can reduce deficits, help fight inflation, spur the economy and offer Americans better lives and our children more secure futures. I would suggest Biden and his executive colleagues sweat their way through identifying what spending can and should go away instead of making our amazing country less amazing. If they don’t, the Supreme Court may save us. The words of the Constitution only allow federal taxation on real income, as literacy informs us.

the backing of police unions – and Jackson’s family’s law enforcement service – to rebut GOP claims that Jackson was soft on crime.

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee claimed their members would conduct themselves better than Democrats did during the contentious confirmation hearings of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, who was forced to address and deny allegations that he sexually assaulted a female student in high school.

Nevertheless, the Jackson hearing also turned ugly at several points, as Jackson was asked questions such as “Are babies racist?” and how to define “woman,” and forced to listen to graphic descriptions of child pornography.

Though senators hoped for a reset of sorts from the extreme partisanship of the Senate’s recent Supreme Court confirmations, tensions remain high.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who blocked Attorney General Merrick Garland from receiving hearings when Obama nominated him to the Supreme Court in 2016, repeatedly declined in an interview Thursday with Axios’ Jonathan Swan to say whether he would hold hearings on a high court nominee if another vacancy opened up next year and Republicans take back control of the chamber.

McConnell said the question “puts the cart before the horse.”

Jackson will also be seated in time to hear Alabama’s challenge to a provision of the Voting Rights Act. Jackson’s impact on the court figures to be limited at the start. She will be the junior justice and one of only three Democratic appointees on a court whose agenda is set by the six conservatives, all Republican appointees.

But progressives point to her experience as a public defender and a federal trial judge, and say she could influence the court’s internal debates on matters of crime and punishment.

They also say she could have a powerful voice on civil rights, not just within the court but in dissent.

Since the retirement of Justice Thurgood Marshall in 1991, the high court has not had a Black justice who was an outspoken champion of civil rights and racial justice.

In his opening floor remarks Thursday morning, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said it was “a joyous, momentous, groundbreaking day,” though he also insisted America

educated judge who had been Senate-confirmed with bipartisan support on three previous occasions, including last June.

Senate Democrats routinely touted her deep experience as a U.S. District Court judge for the District of Columbia and then on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

President Barack Obama nominated her to serve as vice chair of the Federal Sentencing Commission, and before that she was a federal public defender.

Democrats eyed a mid-April timeline for confirmation, modeling the pace set by Republicans in 2020, when the Senate confirmed Justice Amy Coney Barrett a month after she was nominated and roughly a week before Election Day. Senate Republicans acknowledged Jackson was qualified for the Supreme Court, but many grew frustrated by her refusal to articulate a judicial philosophy or distance herself from some Democrats’ call to increase the number of justices on the court.

Several GOP lawmakers criticized her sentencing record in a handful of child pornography cases, an issue Democrats vigorously pushed back on.

Jackson was endorsed by a wide array of groups and figures, most notably the Fraternal Order of Police, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and retired federal judges J. Michael Luttig and Thomas B. Griffith.

should’ve reached this milestone generations ago.

“America today is taking a giant step towards making our union more perfect,” Schumer said. “People sometimes talk about standing on the shoulder of giants. Well, Judge Jackson will go down in history as an American giant upon whose shoulders others will stand tall, and our democracy will be better off for it.”

The final Senate vote capped a 10-week process that began in late January with reports of Breyer’s retirement.

To reach confirmation with a 50-50 Senate left little margin for error. Democrats had to use a tool that hadn’t been used to advance a Supreme Court nominee since 1853.

After the Senate Judiciary Committee deadlocked on recommending Jackson on Monday, the full Senate narrowly voted to advance her nomination to the floor via a so-called discharge motion.

Breyer’s official retirement set in motion the search for an eminently qualified Black woman who could win Republican support. As a presidential candidate in 2020, Biden had pledged to nominate a Black woman to the high court.

And as president, he gave himself an end-of-February deadline, assuring he would announce his decision during Black History Month.

Lori D. Wilson walks up the center aisle of the Assembly chamber at the state Capitol in Sacramento with her

husband Chavares to be sworn in as the new Assembly member for District 11, Wednesday.

Wilson

ocrat will run again in June and have one challenger in legislative advocate, Vacaville resident and independent Jenny Callison.

In Solano County, Wilson captured 13,850 votes, 97.19% of the valid ballots that were counted. Write-in candidate and Republican Erik Elness of Brentwood earned 401 votes (2.81%).

Only 15,963 registered voters participated, which is 10.68% of the 149,420 registered voters in the county.

Wilson received 12,562 votes (96.98%) of the vote in Contra Costa County with the local candidate receiving 379 (3.02%). The voter turnout was a

little lower than Solano County with 14,345 out of 155,276 registered voters casting ballots (9.24%).

Sacramento County’s initial vote numbers had Wilson receiving 260 votes (98.48%) with Elness getting 4 votes (1.53%). Some 554 registered voters live in the 11th Assembly District portion of the county.

The special election cost nearly $1.3 million in Solano County. The county’s share is $590,000.

The full cost in Contra Costa County is about $1.3 million, but officials were not sure how much of that will be picked up specifically by the county taxpayers.

Sacramento County officials estimated the

preliminary costs at $66,631, though there may be a little bit more labor added once all timesheets are completed for this pay period and through completion of all election-related duties for this election.

Wilson was first elected to the Suisun City council in 2012. She was previously vice mayor for six years before winning as the county’s first Black mayor in the 2018 race.

Wilson replaces Jim Frazier as the 11th Assembly District representative.

Frazier resigned in December. He had been an Assembly member since November 2012.

sized the need for more training for deputy district attorneys, and to develop them professionally so they had more personal authority regarding the cases they prosecute, including the kind of deals struck with defense attorneys.

“Right now in the District Attorney’s Office that is not happening . . .

It’s an absolute shame that we are not developing our attorneys,” Henry said of that professional growth.

She said the deputy district attorneys are going to court being told what to do.

Henry also noted what she believes is a need for more community engage-

ment by the district attorney, going so far as to say she would leave much of the day-to-day management of the attorneys and staff to the chief deputy district attorneys she plans to hire if she wins the seat. That, she said, would free of up more of her time to be out in the community.

There were also specific questions about the Solano County Family Justice Center, stating that she supported the center.

Henry was the direct supervisor over the center for a number of years, and argued it was personality conflicts that have caused the controversies and highly critical

grand jury reports that conclude that the center has failed to live up to its mission to serve victims of domestic violence and related crimes.

Henry said the voters of Solano County have a big decision to make on June 7, and closed her comments by drawing attention to Abrams’ absence from the event.

“I wish my opponent was here to answer some of these questions. But I’m here,” Henry said.

Abrams has indicated she had a prior commitment for the reason she did not attend, but has not responded to multiple inquiries about what that commitment was.

From Page One Wilson was able to see her new office, get keys, go through security, meet with people, and even learn how to vote as an Assembly member. She’ll immediately become a part of the voting body.

Tiger Woods reacts after making birdie on the 13th green during the first round of the Masters at Augusta National

Golf Club, Thursday, in Augusta, Georgia. The tournament runs through Sunday.

1-under-par round for Tiger Woods in return at Masters Sam Farmer

LOS ANGELES TIMES

AUGUSTA, Ga. — With thousands of spectators watching his every move Thursday morning, Tiger Woods emerged from the Augusta National clubhouse, closed his eyes, took a deep breath as if to brace himself, opened his eyes and stepped into the next chapter of his legendary career.

The five-time Masters winner began his pursuit of his sixth green jacket under circumstances almost beyond belief.

He’s 14 months removed from a catastrophic rollover car accident that threatened his ability to walk, and yet somehow he remained a factor on the first day of

the storied tournament.

Playing conservatively and frequently saving par with his putter – including a 10-footer on 18 – Woods shot a one-under-par 71 with 13 pars, two bogeys and three birdies.

When he finished his round, he was three shots off the lead.

“To play this golf course and to do what I did today, to make – to hit the shots in the right spots – I know where to hit it to a lot of these pins, and I miss in the correct spots and give myself good angles,” he said. “I did that all day, and I was able to make a few putts and end up in the red like I am now.”

He got a break with his tee shot on No. 18, which clipped some branches

on the left and wound up in wet pine straw.

Because he was in standing water, he was able to move the ball back – making the drive a mere 193 yards – but almost into the fairway. He didn’t reach the green on his next shot, but spun his third in prime position to make birdie, drawing loud cheers from the spectators ringing the green.

It was Woods’ first competitive round in 509 days, since the 2020 Masters that was postponed until November because of the pandemic. He played with Louis Oosthuizen and Joaquin Niemann, who shot 69 for his best career round at Augusta.

Woods, 46, said during the week that his challenge wouldn’t be

ball-striking or putting, but walking the undulating course on his rebuilt legs. He looked slightly stiff but not overly uncomfortable, although he did briefly clutch at his back after his errant tee shot on No. 9.

“I’m going to be sore, yes,” he said. “That’s just the way it is. But the training cycles that we’ve had to make sure that I have the stamina to keep going – and this is only one round. We’ve got three more to go. There’s a long way to go and a lot of shots to be played.”

The day started with drizzle, the last vestiges of the thunderstorms that interrupted practice rounds Tuesday and See Masters, Page A11

Falcons waste big rally, lose in 10th ROCKVILLE — The Solano Community College rallied for four runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the score, but Napa Valley College pushed across a run in the 10th and held on for a 9-8. Bay Valley Conference victory at Billy and Louise Yarbrough Stadium, Thursday.

Ryan Mitchell and Shane Martin sandwiched RBI singles around a two-run single by Jason Pridy in the bottom of the ninth, but the Falcons (8-19, 5-6) stranded the potential winning run on second and went down 1-2-3 in the 10th after Chris Blyskal’s double plated Wyatt Dorman in the top of the frame.

Masters From Page A10 Wednesday. By the early afternoon, when Woods was on the back nine, blue skies and sunshine had returned.

The breeze picked up, though, making those into-the-wind holes especially challenging.

Woods made par on his first five holes, then dropped to one under with a birdie on No. 6, a par-three hole that he nearly aced. He gave that stroke back on No. 8, however, coming up short of the green on his third shot, running his fourth past the hole, then two-putting for bogey on his way back.

At one point, he missed five greens in a row but was able to scramble with his putting. A birdie on the par-five 13th put Woods back in red numbers, but was right back at even par with a bogey on 14.

Just before 11 a.m., caddie Joe LaCava emerged from the clubhouse carrying Woods’

black and green Monster Energy Drink bag with the distinctive Tiger headcovers. This was in a roped-off area under the famous oak tree with patrons – what they call spectators here – crowding outside the ropes and hoping for a glimpse at Tiger.

It had rained for the last two days, and drizzled again Thursday morning, so the grass outside the clubhouse was slick and even treacherous. Groundskeeper carts traversed the area in the pre-dawn hours, distributing coarse green sand as if salting the roads during a snowstorm. Augusta National is hillier than it looks on TV, so it’s easy to lose your footing and take a tumble.

Tiger was greeted with cheers and applause on the first tee, the hole lined with several layers of patrons all the way to the green. He hit his tee shot a little to the right and behind a bunker.

The round had begun.

Asked after 18 holes what the next 18 hours will look like for him, a smiling Woods had a simple answer: “Lots of ice.”

Home Improvement

Low-cost ways to

revamp

living areas aligns with your budget.

• Change the paint color. Lighter and brighter colors are on trend. A can or two of paint can do wonders for updating a space without a large financial commitment. Pair that new paint color with new window coverings and complementary throw pillows to pull the theme together with minimal expense.

• Update the flooring. Tired, outdated carpeting or other flooring can use an overhaul. While solid hardwood flooring may be preferable, there are many types of laminate flooring that mimic the looks of popular wood colors and styles for a fraction of the cost. Plus, many are sold at home improvement retailers and even at warehouse clubs or online for reasonable prices.

Laminate flooring also may be a potential DIY job for a skilled homeowner, saving even more money.

• Introduce a fireplace. Fireplaces were once hot commodities, but that popularity waned in the 1970s and 1980s. Homeowners with chimneys may discover a fireplace

H

ome improvement projects require substantial financial investment. But just because a homeowner wants to bring a fresh look indoors doesn’t mean he or she has to break the bank along the way.

Living rooms are some of the most frequently used spaces in a home, and they can use an update from time to time to stay on trend or to make the area more functional for a changing family dynamic. Here are some budget-friendly ideas for breathing new life into living room designs.

• Establish the budget. Homeowners should figure out how many dollars they can designate to a living room makeover before purchasing supplies or hiring out the work. Figure out the scope of the remodel, visit stores or suppliers to price out materials, get estimates from contractors, and then plan for some unforseen circumstances along the way to determine if this type of renovation is affordable. If not, scale things back until the project more closely

How to cut costs on home renovations Metro Services

D

o you still have an avocado green kitchen?

Is your living room dank and dark? Perhaps there is only one bathroom for a family of six? Answering yes to any of these questions could serve as the catalyst for a home renovation project.

Home improvement projects come in all shapes and sizes – some with huge budgets and others that are more cost-conscious. Regardless of what homeowners hope to achieve with their renovations, a common goal across any price point is a desire to save as much money as possible. Home renovations can be expensive, but there are ways to cut costs.

• Assess the merit of the project. Remodeling magazine annually publishes a “Cost vs. Value Report” that lists the average cost and return on investment homeowners can expect of various types of projects. If you’re planning to sell your home soon, it may be best to focus on repairs and renovations that will generate the most substantial ROI. • Hire a contractor. Even avid do-it-yourselfers can sometimes benefit from a contractor’s expertise, particularly for complex tasks. Don’t waste money by trying tough jobs yourself; rely on an experienced contractor who can get supplies for less money and will do the job right the first time. Compare bids from several different contractors and figure out the best value.

• Refurbish existing features. Rather than a complete gut and rebuild, figure out where you can revitalize existing fixtures and more. For example, refinishing existing cabinets can save you up to 50% compared with the cost of new cabinetry, according to Angi (formerly Angie’s List), a cost comparison and business review resource.

• Choose midgrade materials. Certain materials may be all the rage but they come with a higher price tag. Angi reports that granite counters could be $60 to $100 per square foot. However, a composite or laminate that looks like granite and wears well may be $10 to 40 per square foot. Figure out where you can choose middle-of-the-road materials for maximum value.

• Avoid peak seasons. You’ll pay more to install a deck or a pool right before the outdoor entertaining season. There also may be a premium to get work done right before a major holiday. Therefore, consult the calendar to find an off time for a renovation and book it then to save.

• Do some prep work. You might be able to

he decision to replace windows often comes down to aesthetics and necessity. Drafty windows can reduce energy efficiency in a home, requiring HVAC systems to work harder to keep interiors comfortable. The harder the HVAC must work, the more homeowners will pay in energy costs.

Old windows also may be points of entry for water and insects.

Despite the importance of windows, Money magazine advises that new windows make up only a fraction of the home’s total exterior “envelope,” resulting in only about 5 to 15% of total energy savings.

But there are still plenty of reasons to invest in new windows.

Vinyl or aluminum may be best

Lumber is farmed rather quickly today and solid wood products may not stand up to elements as well as wood used a half-century ago.

To avoid rot, vinyl windows often are an affordable and durable choice. Homeowners also have the option of wood windows with aluminum cladding, which are long-lasting.

Moisture problems indicate windows need to be replaced

Windows add curb appeal

Condensation that shows up as fogging between double-pane windows or on the inside of windows indicates that the windows are starting to fail. If installing a vapor barrier in the basement or crawl space, ventilating properly when showering or cooking, or using a dehumidifier indoors does not remedy the situation, it might be time to replace windows.

Beyond functionality, replacement windows immediately update the look of the home and can improve curb appeal since they are one of the See Window, Page B4

WAYS TO MAKE YOUR

MORE SUCCESSFUL

Metro Services

H

omeowners enjoy gardening for many different reasons. In addition to adding beauty to a property, gardens can offset grocery costs by yielding tasty produce. They also offer important habitats and food sources for both insects and animals.

While growing a vegetable or flower garden can turn into a rewarding hobby, or even a passion, gardening also can be overwhelming - particularly when the results are less than stellar. Novice gardeners have scores of resources at their disposal, including the advice of gardeners who have made mistakes and learned from them. The following guidance can make home gardens that much more successful.

1

Start small

You may have visions of an expansive garden growing rows of crops or acres of flowers. But it is smart to start small and build on what you find successful, which includes plants that thrive in your lawn and garden.

This also is beneficial if you are unsure of vegetable yields. Several blooming plants producing bushels of crops can be overwhelming, especially if you can’t get to harvesting or cooking them in a timely fashion.

2

Assess the soil

Plants need nutrient-rich soil to encourage extensive root systems and produce strong, hardy plants, according to the gardening resource GrowVeg. Nourish soil with organic matter, such as manure, compost, shredded leaves, and natural mulch. Add this organic matter in the off-season to give it enough time to be incorporated into the ground before spring. You can have your soil tested for pH and other characteristics that make it friendly or averse to plants at a local garden center.

3

Arm yourself with knowledge

4

Sit in your yard and observe

Do you know how deeply to plant seeds and how far apart to space plants? Are you aware of the sunlight needs of certain flowers or plants? If not, read the packaging and do your research so your plants have the best chance of not only sprouting, but also surviving. Many people prefer to start seedlings indoors in late winter and then transfer those plants outdoors when they are stronger and more established.

Watch the way the sunlight dances over areas of your landscape. Take note of which areas get the most sun and shade. This will help you plan what to plant and where to plant it. Vegetable gardens tend to need

rees benefit a landscape by serving both aesthetic and utilitarian functions. A home surrounded by healthy green trees can be a sight to behold, and those same trees can benefit surrounding plants and wildlife at the same time.

As appealing as trees are, not all trees and landscapes make for the perfect match. The Arbor Day Foundation notes the importance of planning when designing a landscape. Planning ensures the trees homeowners ultimately choose for their properties will grow well in the soil and moisture present in their yards.

Careful consideration of a handful of variables can help homeowners determine which trees will make the best fit for their properties.

• Height: Homeowners must consider the projected height of a tree

save by doing some of the demolition and preparatory work yourself. For example, you can tear up

before planting it. Avoid trees that will bump into anything when fully grown, as that can adversely affect surrounding greenery and pose a safety hazard. The ADF’s tree sizing guide can be accessed at https:// www.arborday.org/trees/ rightTreeAndPlace/size. cfm and serves as an invaluable resource for homeowners who want to plant new trees around their properties.

• Canopy spread: Trees grow out as well as up, so it’s important to consider their potential width at maturity as well. The ADF sizing guide can help homeowners get an idea of how wide a tree is likely to be at maturity. Trees that spread out quite a bit don’t necessarily need to be avoided, but it’s important that they’re planted far enough apart so they don’t adversely affect surrounding plants. In addition, wide trees that are planted too close together can make the landscape appear crowded,

taking something away from its aesthetic appeal.

• Growth rate: Growth rate is an important variable because it can affect how quickly homeowners will see changes in their landscapes. Homeowners who want to plant for privacy can consider trees with quick growth rates or purchase more mature trees that are already near full growth. Those who are not in need of instant transformation can try trees with slower growth rates, which the ADF notes typically live longer than fast-growing species.

• Requirements: Different trees require different amounts of sun and moisture and different soil components to thrive.

Homeowners can have their soil tested to determine which trees will thrive in it. Local garden centers can be a great resource for homeowners who want insight as to which trees will thrive in their local climates.

old carpeting before the installation of new tile floors. Perhaps you can mend and patch up walls before a paint job.

• Buy a display item.

Former showroom kitchens and baths often are sourced at a fraction of

their recommended retail prices, according to Real Homes, a home remodel guide based in the United Kingdom. Retailers often update their displays and you may score existing showroom items at a discount.

ample sunlight to bear pick-worthy produce. You can give plants a leg up by growing them in optimal conditions.

5

Choose hardy varieties

Certain plants have been bred to thrive in your climate, including heat-tolerant plants for climates with sweltering summer sun. Consult with a local gardening center to figure out which plant zone you are in and which plants will do best within that zone.

6

Use rainwater

Rainwater contains fewer contaminants and additives than tap water, which can benefit garden plants. Collect rainwater in rain barrels and use irrigation systems to deliver it to the garden.

4

Consider other energyefficient upgrades

5

The wrong windows can adversely affect home value

6

Think about soundproofing, too

7

Proper installation is key to longevity

Sometimes older windows can be salvaged, especially if they are not damaged and only moderately drafty. Replacing panes, sash cords, weather stripping, and even glazing may be less expensive than replacing a window. Plus, older homes with attractive windows complement one another. To keep energy bills down, think about adding insulation to the attic and basement – which is a good idea even if you are replacing windows.

The National Association of Realtors says homeowners get about 73% of their replacement window investment back when they resell a home. But choosing the wrong windows might lower the value of the home. It’s important to match the look of the original windows, including window material and the divided light pattern (the number of panes in each window) with the original windows.

When upgrading windows, also think about how certain windows can cancel out noises and make homes more soundproof. Some windows can help reduce outdoor distractions like leaf blowers or lawn mowers.

Replacement windows are only as good as their installation in many cases. Poor installation and orders of standard rather than custom sized windows could result in poor fitting and seals. Homeowners should carefully vet and review window replacement contractors to find the best professionals for the job.

ARTS/SATURDAY ’S GAME S

Mike McCready discusses Pearl Jam, his side projects

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, April 8, 2022 B5

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency SEATTLE — As one of the first big bands to suspend its tour plans, Pearl Jam’s packed schedule abruptly cleared when the pandemic hit in 2020. Come May, the Seattle juggernauts will finally set off on a run of makeup shows after fans have been waiting two years to hear some of the daring new(er) tunes off “Gigaton,” the band’s 11th album, born just as the world was shutting down.

But on the plus side, the unexpected down time produced a rush of new side projects and archive-mining releases for fans to nibble until the next stadium singalong. Among them, Pearl Jam guitar slayer Mike McCready’s old side band, The Rockfords, dusted off the WAV files last month to release its lone studio album in digital formats for the first time.

Hatched in the late ’90s, the Seattle supergroup consisted of McCready and his childhood friends Danny Newcomb (lead guitar), and brothers Chris and Rick Friel (drums and bass), with singer Carrie Akre of Goodness and Hammerbox. Although The Rockfords only had a few years together, releasing their self-titled album with Epic Records, the tightknit members had plenty of history together: McCready, Newcomb and the Friels played together in McCready’s first band Shadow, while Newcomb and Chris Friel joined Akre in Goodness.

We recently caught up with McCready to discuss his resurrected Rockfords project and the latest happenings in the PJ universe. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

Q: How did The Rockfords rerelease get in motion?

A: Danny Newcomb, who’s the other guitar player and principal songwriter, one of my oldest — if not my oldest friend, I’ve known him since we were 5 years old – it was his idea. We’re proud of the record.

We have a lot of history behind all of that.

Q: You obviously have a ton of history playing with Danny, Rick and Chris. Then Danny and Chris playing with Carrie in Goodness. But how did you all decide to form The Rockfords?

A: I’m really close with Rick and Chris and Danny over all these years. So we were just talking about let’s put something together, let’s do something. At that time, either Goodness had just broken up or they were still going on, and I loved Carrie’s voice. Her personality was great and she was funny. She had a helluva range and a cool emotional quality to her singing, all the way back to Hammerbox. And I loved her energy. I really wanted to play

Pearl Jam plays the first of its “Home Shows” at Safeco Field in Seattle. with her as a singer.

Q: Those first times everybody got together, what was the chemistry like among you given all the overlapping history?

A: There’s these silly old jokes that we all do over and over and over again. Rick and Chris and Danny and I will talk about KISS or we’ll always talk about the same kinda silly things, and I’m sure we were boring Carrie to death with our old rock stories. But we kind of get back into that mode again of being teenagers and the excitement of playing music together and the energy we had back then in Shadow.

I also get an influence from Danny when I play with him. I watch him play leads, I always have. He was the lead guitar player in Shadow and I was the rhythm guitar player at that time. So, I’ve always watched him to see what he does. He pushes me to be a better guitar player. It’s similar to when I play with Stone [Gossard in Pearl Jam]. I play off of what he’s doing. I don’t try to repeat what he’s doing, I try to play around it.

Then Rick and Chris have their brothers’ chemistry in terms of the bass and drums, and I’m used to all that. I’ve played with those guys for thousands of hours. I love that. There’s a connection that happens, there’s a goofiness.

We’re kinda like silly kids, me especially.

Q: On a personal level, what was it like to step away from the whole Pearl Jam frenzy and do this project with a bunch of longtime friends?

A: To step away from the craziness of Pearl Jam has always been a nice exit so that I can get back into it, get back into the frenzy. Especially around that time. It was a good relief. There was less pressure.

We were doing it for the fun of it and we were doing it to write songs together. We played some shows around Seattle, but there wasn’t a giant pressure to do the Rockfords record. It was more organic and fun and celebratory at times. The song “Silver Lining,” which Danny wrote, that’s probably my favorite

song on there. Getting to hear Carrie sing those cool lyrics and they’re kinda sad and poignant.

Getting to work with a really great singer has always been for me a total treat. It’s like the icing on the cake, because you get to have that right in your ear while you’re playing and it’s beautiful to hear how Carrie sings and her emotional quality.

Q: You mentioned doing a few shows around Seattle.

Were there any in particular that stood out?

A: I remember we played one at Bumbershoot that was really, really fun. It was a bigger crowd and I think we rose to that. We had a Tractor [Tavern] show that was pretty great and then the old Crocodile was probably one of the better ones. We were doing covers like – what’s that Blondie song: [sings] “Met you in the restaurant” – “Dreaming.” We were doing “Dreaming” and it was fun to play with Carrie because she can really bring that Blondie vibe to that song.

We also got to write a song called “Riverwide” with Nancy Wilson. That was a cool experience. Just rad to have your heroes jam with you.

Q: How did she get involved on the song and what did she bring to it?

A: I reached out to her and just asked her. She’s a friend of mine now and I wanted her to play on it or write some lyrics or do anything. She happened to be in town and we recorded it.

She’s [so] underrated, Nancy, in terms of rhythm guitar players.

She’s a ridiculous rhythm guitar player. Everybody knows that, but I don’t know if it’s talked about enough.

Q: When the pandemic hit, Pearl Jam’s tour plans after “Gigaton” got put on hold.

What has this period been like for you, creatively, having this unplanned pause to touring?

A: For me personally, it’s been really a great experience. It’s not that I don’t want to tour or anything like that.

But I taught myself to do GarageBand and I’ve been taking singing lessons, and I’m working on a solo thing right now. I’m working on a song I wrote about Chris Cornell.

low heart to dummy’s king. What now?

South seemed to have four unavoidable losers: two hearts, one diamond and one club. Was there any chance to win 10 tricks?

North’s four-spade raise was preemptive, showing a hand with offensive potential for spades but limited defensive values.

The original declarer gave up without a fight. After winning with dummy’s heart king, he drew trumps ending in the dummy and called for the club eight. However, East was awake.

He won with the club ace and cashed the heart queen to defeat the contract.

South didn’t spot his faint chance for success. He should have tried to establish dummy’s diamond eight as a trick.

After winning with the heart king, he should have played a spade to the ace, cashed the diamond king, returned to dummy with a trump and ruffed a diamond, which would have fortunately brought down the jack.

‘Sonic 2’ packs more action, but much less heart Adam Graham

THE DETROIT NEWS

O

ne of the fun surprises of 2020, and one of the few pleasures in what turned out to be a historically bad year, was “Sonic the Hedgehog,” a bright, light, good-natured cinematic reinvention of Sega’s popular video game character. In a landscape littered with soulless intellectual property, “Sonic” rose above, molding itself into something of a warmhearted “E.T.”-lite story and becoming one of the last blockbusters to hit screens before the world turned upside down due to a certain pandemic.

“Sonic the Hedgehog 2” now arrives with expectations which the fuzzy little blue guy isn’t able to meet. It is bloated, running past the two hour mark, while the first crossed the finish line in just under 100 minutes. We get two new characters from the “Sonic” universe, Tails and Knuckles, neither of whom fully justify their presence. And there is an entire wedding subplot that has nothing at all to do with Sonic, which seems shipped in from a direct-to-Netflix romantic comedy in an entirely different universe. (Need trimming? Start there.)

Ben Schwartz is back as the voice of Sonic, who has now settled comfortably into life in Green Hills, Montana. He’s like a precocious child who can’t wait until his parents go out of town to stay up all night, watch movies and eat snacks, which he does when Tom (James Marsden)

MOVIE

Review ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ Rated PG 124 minutes

HH (OUT OF FOUR) and Maddie (Tika Sumpter) go to Hawaii for the wedding of Maddie’s sister, Rachel (Natasha Rothwell).

Trouble finds our blue friend in the form of Dr. Robotnik, again played by Jim Carrey, who doesn’t encounter a syllable he can’t turn into three. He’s joined by Knuckles, a red Soniclike figure and an ancient warrior with the lowrumble voice of Idris Elba, a pairing that never quite meshes. They’re out to vanquish Sonic and gain control of a powerful green emerald which holds all the mystical powers of the universe, or somesuch.

So much for Sonic’s quiet weekend at home.

Sonic is joined by a new ally, Tails (voice of Colleen O’Shaughnessey), a yellow fox with two tails (hence the name), but the adventure is never as satisfying as the simple fish-out-of-water — or hedgehog-off-of-homeplanet — story told in the first film. “Sonic 2” has more action but less heart, and fewer surprises than were delivered the first time around. Maybe times were simpler back then.

Or maybe this hedgehog was on better turf when he was more of an underdog.

Summary of Ordinance No. 2022-07 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAIRFIELD AMENDING SECTION 12.15 AND 12.15.1 OF CHAPTER 12, ARTICLE I OF THE FAIRFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE CHANGING THE 48 HOUR NO RETURN TIMEFRAME TO 30 DAYS Ordinance No. 2022-07 would amend the Fairfield Municipal Code sections 12.15 and 12.15.1 which currently require that a person not return to a private property or business premises for 48 hours after being notified to leave by the police, owner, occupant, or agent. This timeframe is inadequate for repeat offenders of business premises trespassing and violates private rules and regulations. In order to reduce repeat offenders and provide more effective enforcement of the Fairfield Municipal Code, it is recommended that the current timeframe be amended to 30 days instead of 48 hours.

Notice is hereby given that a copy of the above-numbered ordinance is available for inspection by all interested parties at the office of the City Clerk of Fairfield, 1000 Webster Street, 4th Floor, Fairfield, and that said ordinance was introduced on April 5, 2022.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF JOHN W. HARRIS CASE NO. P051341 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: JOHN W. HARRIS AKA JOHN WILLIAMS EDWARD HARRIS A Petition for Probate has been filed by GEMMA T. HUGUENIN in the Superior Court of California, County of SOLANO. The Petition for Probate requests that GEMMA T. HUGUENIN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on 5/13/2022 at 8:30 A.M. in Dept. 4 Room N/A located at 600 UNION AVENUE, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533.

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

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

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

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

Members of the public are provided direction per the Policy on registering complaints for violations.

All items which result in a use of force will be investigated, as is already required by the existing FPD policy.

Notice is hereby given that a copy of the above-numbered ordinance is available for inspection by all interested parties at the office of the City Clerk of Fairfield, 1000 Webster Street, 4th Floor, Fairfield, and that said ordinance was introduced on April 5, 2022.

Seattle suburb likes new ‘Main’

Know the risks of rising mortgage interest rates Tribune Content Agency

Tribune Content Agency BOTHELL, Washington — Nearly two years ago, Bothell banned vehicles from a downtown street to promote outdoor dining and strolling during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Now, it looks like the cars may never return.

The rapidly growing Seattle suburb will keep the street vehicle-free for at least two more years while studying whether to make the change permanent, based on a split vote by Bothell's City Council last month.

In one sense, it's a relatively modest step toward prioritizing pedestrians and nonmotorized activities. The zone on Main Street stretches only one block. But local activists who pushed for the change say the decision to keep it intact, despite some business and traffic concerns, demonstrates how new ideas are taking hold in Bothell.

Experts say communities across the region should be paying attention, and the mayor is comparing the space to a European central square.

"It's nice to have at least one block that doesn't privilege drivers," said Amanda Dodd, who's been part of the group Bo-POP (Bothellites for People Oriented Places), which organized for the car-free zone. "If we can show people what being protected feels like on this street, it's going to be that much easier to advocate for some level of protection on other streets."

"ROAD CLOSED" signs and heavy concrete blocks spraypainted with flowers guard the block ends. According to a city survey conducted ahead of the council's March 15 vote, first covered by The

The Bothell City Council voted to extend the closure of a block of downtown Main Street, seen March 31, for another two years in a desire to create a community gather space.

Urbanist, downtown residents generally "love the pedestrian area."

Though he lives in a different neighborhood, Eric Eisenberg does, too.

"It encourages people to come down and have some sense of community," Eisenberg, 43, said last week, snacking on cheese curds outside a brewpub while his 3-yearold, Odin, played in the street. "The little guy can run around and I don't have to worry about him getting hit by a car."

Bothell created the car-free block in June 2020, hoping the change on Main Street between 101st and 102nd avenues would turn the city's historic downtown into a social hub and boost business at a time when indoor activities were restricted for Covid, Mayor Mason Thompson said.

For businesses like The Bine brewpub, the outdoor dining environment helped "1 million percent" as the pandemic raged, said coowner George Marshall, who built covered seating in his parking spots.

Another restaurant expanded all the way into the street and the pedestrian zone was a draw, especially during nice weather, Marshall said.

"People like to meander around," he said.

Not all businesses have benefited: Nine surveyed by the city reported positive impacts, while seven reported negative impacts.

Francesca Cohn, who runs a handicrafts store below street level, Sankara Imports, said the change disoriented some of her customers. Rachman Cantrell, who opened Bothell Jewelers and Collectibles in 1987, said the car ban has been "a disaster" for his business, which caters to seniors and closes at 5:30 p.m., before the restaurant rush.

"There's no traffic going down the street, so nobody sees my shop," he said.

Marshall, from The Bine, thinks the city needs to arrange more markets and concerts on the block, which hosted a Diwali celebration last year. There are plans for Friday night markets this summer.

Even among retailers, perspectives vary. Paul Kavanagh, who owns Woodland Optical of Bothell, said elderly clients can no longer be dropped off at his door. But Chelsea Coryell's interior design store, First & Main, gets "flooded" with accidental shoppers from the zone's picnic tables. "They pop in to see what we're about," then end up spending money, she said.

Though banning cars was initially a Covid strategy, it jibed with Bothell's urbanist aspirations. The city's population grew 44% between 2010 and 2020, nearing 50,000, as its downtown added hundreds of new apartments.

Jobless claims fell to 1968 comparison Tribune Content Agency Applications for U.S. state unemployment insurance fell last week by more than forecast, showing that employers are retaining workers in an increasingly tight labor market.

Initial unemployment claims decreased by 5,000 to 166,000 in the week ended April 2, Labor Department data showed Thursday. The level matched the lowest in 54 years.

200,000 initial applications. The government’s report included annual revisions dating back to 2017.

Continuing claims for state benefits rose marginally to 1.52 million in the week ended March 26.

A few years after risky mortgages and related investments led to a global financial collapse, the Federal Reserve put out a handbook to help consumers make smarter choices about their home loan options. The focus was on adjustable-rate mortgages, whose exotic variants were among the prime culprits in the meltdown.

“To compare two ARMs or to compare an ARM with a fixed-rate mortgage,” the handbook states, “you need to know about indexes, margins, discounts, caps on rates and payments, negative amortization, payment options, and recasting (recalculating) your loan.”

Wait, what?

In plain English, the Fed was cautioning home buyers that it’s harder to predict the cost of an adjustable-rate mortgage than a plain vanilla fixed-rate mortgage. You have to understand not just your current payments but also how the lender will calculate the amount you will pay after the interest rate starts to adjust.

You also have to understand how the principal amount you owe may grow instead of shrink, and what your potential offramps might be.

It’s a lot to think about, which is one reason consumers flocked to simpler fixed-rate mortgages as the interest rate for 30-year fixed mortgages fell from about 6.5% at the height of the last recession to 2.7% in December 2020.

But rates for those mortgages have bounced back up since then, and on Friday they hit their highest level since 2018: 4.9%, according to Bankrate.com. That’s an increase of about $625 per month on a $500,000 loan.

Make no mistake, rates remain far lower than they were in the latter part of the 20th century, and a few percentage points below their levels in the 2000s.

Safer vs. less safe ARMs One good thing for home buyers today is that some of the most complex and inscrutable loans either are no longer on the market or are less widely available. That’s because the subprime mortgage fiasco led lawmakers to reduce the legal pro-

tection for lenders, who were making profits off of the loans they issued regardless of whether they were repaid.

“Everybody was making money on the front end,” said Sarah Bolling Mancini, a staff attorney with the National Consumer Law Center. The demand from investors was so strong, she added, it created a thirst for loans that made it hard for borrowers to tell how unaffordable the payments would be.

The 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires lenders to check a buyer’s ability to repay and bars them from issuing some of the riskiest kinds of loans, said Eric Stein, a former Treasury Department official now at the Center for Responsible Lending.

That’s why you won’t find any more “liar loans,” or mortgages that didn’t require borrowers to show proof of their financial health.

The law also gave lenders an incentive to offer “qualified mortgages,” or loans designed to be easy for borrowers to understand and to have predictable payments, Stein said. An ARM could fit that definition, he said, but only if it holds rates steady for at least the first five years and is “fully amortizing” – in other words, the home buyer steadily pays off the amount borrowed as well as interest charges.

The initial rate for a five-year ARM isn’t as low as you would have gotten with the one- and two-year ARMs that were popular before Dodd-Frank.

“What all this comes down to is that fixed-rate mortgages are safer, but ARMs are much safer than they were, assuming that someone gets a qualified mortgage, which primarily is what lenders are offering,” Stein said.

One drawback to the shift toward qualified mortgages is that it has made it harder for Black, Latino and low-income Americans to qualify for loans, said Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Assn. of Consumer Advocates.

That’s because of the way lenders measure a borrower’s ability to repay, he said.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-backed enterprises that buy mortgages from lenders, are looking at different types of loans and different ways to evaluate borrowers’ risks, Rheingold said.
