Zelenskyy forecasts ‘hard battle’ ahead in Ukraine’s east Los Angeles Times KYIV, Ukraine — Amid signs that atrocities and fighting were likely to intensify as the war in Ukraine entered its seventh week, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday warned of a “hard battle” ahead, with Russian forces amassing in the east for a new offensive.

Thousands of terrified civilians were fleeing the eastern Donbas region, expected to be the next major battleground after Russia shifted its focus to consolidating its control in the places it already occupies. More than 50 civilians attempting to escape the region were killed in what Ukraine has said a Russian missile strike on a crowded train station on Friday.

“We believe in this fight and our victory,” Zelenskyy said Saturday at a news See Ukraine, Page A12

The American Armory Demo Days allowed visitors a chance to ride military vehicles in Fairfield, Saturday.

FAIRFIELD — If you ever wanted to ride on a tank then the American Armory Demo Days was the place to do that on Saturday.

Jennifer, Jimmy and Kennedee Makin of Vacaville came out for the first time to see what the event was about.

Five-year-old Kennedee came dressed in a pint-sized soldier girl costume complete with a hair-do straight out of 1940.

“She loves to dress up,” said her dad.

Kennedee had a very special relationship with her great grandfather who had a 1943 Jeep that he lovingly restored over the years, “giving” it to his great-granddaughter for safekeeping.

“They just always had this special bond and when he passed a cousin had the Jeep and we got it from them,” See Armory, Page A12

VACAVILLE — McKayla Klein brought her handmade jewelry collection to the vendor fair to help support her school, Buckingham Charter on Saturday.

The seventh-grader began making jewelry for Girl Scouts and found it so relaxing she just couldn’t stop creating.

Last year she began selling her creations at craft fairs with the help of her parents.

“It is a great way to relax,” she said. “I just kept doing it.”

Soon the house got filled with jewelry and her mother thought maybe

“The Girl Scouts was a good experience and helped with her anxiety,” he said. “We did a craft fair in December and this went 10 times better than we expected.”

He also likes that after an event his daughter offers to buy everyone ice cream.

“It’s fun for all of us,” he said.

I presumed only children liked I was wrong. Way wrong. superheroes. I still don’t Over the past several understand why so many adults decades, the D.C. and Marvel lose their minds over a movie

characters have owned the movie world. Every year, there are new superhero movies, featuring characters that I’ve never heard of. Enough so that I rarely know they’re superheroes.

Of course, I know Superman and Batman and Spider-Man. I know Wonder Woman (mostly from the TV show starring Lynda Carter). But I’d never heard of these other characters.

I presumed the first Black Panther movie was about Huey P. Newton or Bobby Seale, not a superhero.

I presumed Captain America was about former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, not a superhero.

Morbius? Doctor Strange?

Black Adam? Iron Man? Those all seem fake.

Apparently, I missed out on a huge cultural trend. I’ve spent my adulthood scoffing at

superhero movies, then seeing them be wildly successful. How did I miss this? As a kid, maybe I was too busy collecting baseball cards or watching “Hogan’s Heroes” to read those comic books (at my house, the comic books were mostly “Archie” and “Richie Rich,” not superheroes).

But it happens, year after year after year. I hear the excitement for a new superhero movie. “I’m so excited to see the new Fandango Woman and Tricycle Man movie!” people say.

I don’t get it. I don’t go to superhero movies and don’t plan on starting.

However, I did find comfort in that Morning Consult poll that showed that more than two-thirds of Americans are superhero fans. Millennials are by far the group most interested in superheroes, whether it’s

going to movies, buying comic books or dressing up as them.

Gen Z is significantly less interested.

So go ahead and enjoy going to the next Asparagus-Man movie or reading the next issue of the comic book about Scrapbooker and the Committee of Pencils. I’ll sit it out, along with my Gen Z friends.

Maybe we’ll be watching a movie about Hugh Jack-Man, Paul New-Man or Morgan Free-Man – a joke that reveals how old my cultural views are.

But if that were the case, at least I’d understand the superheroes and their random hyphens.

Not like the new “Pink Lady and the Legion of Grasshoppers” movie.

Cars were killing salamanders; a student got the road closed to save them The Washington Post Eli Bieri noticed something disturbing as he walked through Presque Isle Park in Marquette, Mich., a few years ago.

Several dozen bluespotted salamanders had been smashed by cars while they were crossing from the forest to the wetlands on the other side of the road during their annual migration to breed and lay eggs.

“They were all over the road, squished flat by tires,” said Bieri, 23, then a freshman ecology student at Northern Michigan University in the Upper Peninsula.

“I’ve always loved salamanders, and it really made me sad,” he said about the 4-inch, bug-eyed amphibians, a common species in east-central North America.

On that drizzly night in 2018, he said he was the only one in the park to witness the yearly migration that happens over several weeks in the spring.

“I saw them crossing the road en masse,” said Bieri, adding that they go to their breeding ponds when the weather is just right - rainy and 30 to 40 degrees.

The following year, Bieri said he knew he had to do something to help the blue-spotted salamanders that were being crushed by people who drove their cars into the park to stargaze, not knowing any better.

“I’ve been fascinated by swamps and ponds since I was a kid chasing frogs and turtles, so of course, I was out there,” he said.

Bieri went to the tool he knew best: He started a university research project to figure out how many of the salamanders were being killed by tires in Presque Isle Park every year.

“It’s impossible for a driver to see them at night because they’re black and the asphalt is black,” said Bieri, explaining that the long-tailed salamanders move slowly, increasing their chance of being squashed.

Bieri checked the park road every day for several weeks to see how many salamanders had died during their migration journey.

He got other students to help with his research, and together they tagged salamanders to get a feel for their numbers, he said.

They found about 400 dead salamanders on the road that spring, and learned that many of them were getting wiped out on the park’s main thoroughfare every year, Bieri said.

He released his findings, and upon seeing them, Marquette decided in 2020 to block a quarter-mile section of the park’s main road during migration season, from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.

That year, Bieri found only three salamanders flattened by car tires, a big victory.

The road closure now happens every year, and other groups joined the city to help let the public know about the salamander’s plight, including the Superior Watershed Partnership and Northern Michigan University.

Once residents found out about the salamanders, they flocked to the

“Most people didn’t even know they were there,” he said. “I was happy to help share that magic.”

Now, salamanderwatching expeditions are so popular in Marquette that the city has decided to hold its first Salamander Days this spring - six weeks of events including a salamander art show and hikes to learn about the amphibians’ habitat.

A local brewery has even come up with a special salamander beer, but it’s golden hued, not blue.

Local resident Dan Barrington, 64, proposed the celebration last year.

“I thought it sounded like a magical idea - I’d been out to watch the migration with my wife and I was mesmerized,” Barrington said. “The salamanders are really sweet and not many people had seen them before.”

He and a friend, Elizabeth “Puck” Bates, took his proposal to Tiina Morin, Marquette’s arts

and culture manager, and she was immediately on board, he said. Barrington got to work crafting two giant blue-spotted salamanders from plywood and foam to promote Salamander Days.

Although blue-spotted salamanders are not endangered, they’re an indicator species that can alert humans to problems in the ecosystem, said Tyler Pendrod, a program manager at Superior Watershed Partnership, a lake protection group in Marquette.

“What’s really cool about Eli’s research is that a lot of educational programming has come out of it,” he said. “Children are experiencing nature in a way they never did before.

From 10 to 11 at night in April, the parking lot at the park is now packed.”

Blue-spotted salamanders venture out only in full darkness and they’re best viewed with a flashlight on a rainy night, Bieri said.

He said he is delighted to see families carefully walking along the roadside at night with flashlights, hoping to catch the beginning of the spring migration, when the salamanders come out in droves.

Bieri is missing this year’s salamander celebration because he is on vacation in Fiji. This summer, he plans to start a master’s degree program in Australia.

“I’ll be doing research on frog responses to wildfires,” Bieri said. He added that he eventually hopes to become a wildlife biologist.

“Even though they’re not blue-spotted salamanders, they’re also important and interesting,” he said.

Portrait of Fairfield founding father Waterman donated to city

Committee approves Bill Dodd’s Climate Resilience Finance bill

FAIRFIELD — Capt.

Robert Waterman on Friday made a ceremonious return to Fairfield, the city he founded, in the form of a portrait donated by family members that dates back over 180 years.

“Fairfield remains a city of rich history, innovation and resiliency,” Fairfield Mayor Harry Price said. “We are unveiling one more piece of history and I’d like to thank the family for donating this remarkable piece of art.”

Julie Haley Mallett and her sister, Joan Crawford, descendants of Waterman, were present at the City Hall ceremony, along with Crawford’s husband, Harry. The family also donated a book about Waterman written by David Weir, the one-time publisher of the Solano Republican (forerunner to the Daily Republic) and the namesake of the local elementary school.

Mallett said the portrait hung in her family home in Sacramento for years. It was later restored at the Crocker Art Museum to offer it a renewed vibrancy.

“I think my mother said it was in the barn of a relative and said it didn’t belong in a barn,” Mallett told those assembled in the quad near the Waterman Bell. “It hung on the wall of our house for many years and now it is yours.

It’s so important to honor your founding fathers and I’m so grateful that you are taking this portrait

FAIRFIELD — Legislation advanced Thursday from Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, that would address the effects of climate change, including sea-level rise and wildfire, through creation of local resilience districts to undertake and promote conservation efforts.

The family was given a framed city proclamation.

City Councilman Chuck Timm presented keys to the city to them as well.

Cupcakes served at the ceremony had a blue icing that looked like the sea with a picture of the city logo and Waterman’s ship, The Challenge, mounted on toothpicks.

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, and was the son of a Nantucket Whaling captain. Robert Waterman himself first

The Waterman story is not without its share of drama. He captained a troubled voyage on the Challenge that sailed from New York to San Francisco. 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, a report states.

Waterman and Douglass were tried for crimes in San Francisco but apparently acquitted. Waterman retired soon after and settled in the Suisun Valley with his wife, Cordelia, the namesake for that part of Fairfield, to be a farmer, a cattleman and grow lima beans.

He founded Fairfield in 1856, naming the city after his former home in Connecticut. He also served as port warden and inspector of hulls in San Francisco.

He died in 1884 at the age of 76. The historic Waterman home still stands.

The portrait of Waterman will reside in the city manager’s office at City Hall, Price said.

Dodd’s legislation, Senate Bill 852, would allow cities, counties or special districts, either alone or in combination, establish climate resilience financing districts to undertake projects and programs to address climate change including wildfire, sea level rise, extreme heat and cold, drought, flooding and related matters.

Obituary Victoria Llorente Lugtu Oct. 17, 1930 - April 6, 2022

Victoria Llorente Lugtu, 91, peacefully passed away on April 6, 2022.

She was born in Corregidor, Philippines, on Oct. 17, 1930.

Victoria was a graduate of Centro Escolar University, achieving her career goal of being a Dentist. She practiced for five years in Manila, before moving with her husband and eldest daughter, to San Francisco in 1961.

She was offered a teaching position at UCSF, but eventually turned it down to devote herself to solely raising her family.

She loved being a fulltime mom. Part of her job enabled her to chaperone every field trip for her youngest daughter growing up, despite getting separated from the class and lost for several hours in Golden Gate Park on one of those class trips.

As a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, part of her job was playing chauffeur as well.

For decades, she drove her daughters to Catholic school on opposite sides of the city, and dropped her husband off at work along the Embacadero, all before 8 a.m. each day. Then, picked them all up at the end of the day.

And in between, she cooked every meal of the day, but still found time to shop at Breuners and Macys, two of her all-time favorite shops. Her chauffeuring days continued in later years, as her grandchildren entered school, escorting them through college.

Years later after their children were grown, Victoria and Romy, her husband of 60 years, volunteered as Eucharistic ministers and Marriage Encounter counselors for Corpus Christi Church, counseling countless engaged couples, who had to pass their course before getting married.

She is survived by her daughter, Rachel Graham of Tacoma, Washington;

daughter, Rowena Lugtu-Shaddox, of Sacramento; granddaughter and her husband, Alexandra and Ryan Waldrop of Roseville; granddaughter, Sabrina Shaddox of Woodland; and great-grandchildren, Declan and Romy Victoria, of Roseville, and Ricky-Timmy and Bentley McKean of Alaska.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Romulo.

Viewing and rosary will be from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday, April 11, 2022, at BryanBraker Funeral Home, 1850 W. Texas Street, Fairfield. A Mass of Christian burial will be at 2 p.m.

Tuesday, April 12, 2022, at St. Mary’s Church, 350 Stinson Ave., Vacaville.

A reception will immediately follow at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fairfield. Victoria will be laid to rest at 11 a.m.

Wednesday, April 13, 2022, at Vacaville-Elmira Cemetery in Vacaville.

Civil Service Commission meets FAIRFIELD — Changes to Probation

6.5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. By 2050, that number is anticipated to be as high as 13 million.

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. Additionally, more than 11 million family and friends provide at home care to people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

In Solano County alone, according to the Solano committee, there are over 7,000 people living with the disease and more than 13,000 caregivers.

Alzheimer’s and other dementias are costing the nation $321 billion, according to Alzheimer’s Association data.

The Solano County walk is one of 600 walks nationwide. It is the world’s largest series of events to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

Department and Human Resources jobs will be considered when the Solano County Civil Service Commission meets Wednesday.

CEO of Yellow Heart nonprofit running for Fairfield council Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — A former member of the Youth Commission and chief executive officer of the nonprofit Yellow Heart Committee has announced she is running for the District 1 seat on the Fairfield JOHNSON City Council.

N ’ d e a Johnson, 25, is kicking off her campaign at an event set for 11 a.m.

Saturday at Cordelia Community Park, 1300 Gold Hill Road.

“My experiences growing up through the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District and serving on the city of Fairfield’s Youth Commission have shaped and deepened my understanding of our community’s complex needs,” Johnson stated in her announcement.

“After receiving my bachelor’s (degree) in political science from UCLA and a master’s degree in education policy from Columbia University, I returned

home to Fairfield ready to better work and serve all members of our community,” she added. “I am running to bring new ideas to our local government, to rejuvenate our infrastructure, to reinvest in our youth, and to revitalize and energize our local businesses.”

Her nonprofit is “dedicated to mobilizing to support the holistic mental health of trauma survivors through policy advocacy, education and community outreach,” the announcement stated.

She said Timm and Vice Mayor Rick Vaccaro are expected to attend the campaign launch.

The election is Nov. 8.

Johnson said she also will be accepting toiletry items, gently used clothes or shoes following the campaign event. She is looking for volunteers to help bag the items, from 12:30 to 2 p.m.

Suisun Marsh duck club lost to fire to be rebuilt Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — A Suisun Marsh duck club lost to fire will take wing, again.

The Solano County Planning Commission on a 4-1 vote Thursday night approved a use permit for the SF Gun Club to rebuild and operate a private duck club with reconstruction of a private lodge for up to 12 members, covered parking, reconstruction of a dock and placement of storage units.

Commissioner Kay Cayler dissented. She wanted different language for the road maintenance

section, a requirement the other panel members felt could be addressed in the agreement between the new and old operators.

The club, previously operated by the West Wind Duck Club but lost in a fire, will be located on 351 acres at 2886 Grizzly Island Road, about 5 miles south of Suisun City. It is bordered by Montezuma Slough to the east and north and the Frost Slough to the west, the staff report to the commission states.

However, the previous club did not have any permits to operate.

“According to Solano County regulations, any development within the

Suisun Marsh . . . shall be subject to obtaining a Marsh Development Permit pursuant to the Suisun Marsh Preservation Act of 1977,” the staff report states.

“When a land use subject to a Marsh Development Permit, such as this project, is proposed in both the Primary Management Area and Secondary Management Area, as defined in the Suisun Marsh Preservation Act of 1977, the land use shall be subject to a use permit covering the whole of the project.”

The property is under a Williamson Act contract.

“The project would

replace and consolidate the two lodging structures lost to fire and would construct one new 3,855-squarefoot club dwelling/lodge with eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms and a 2,817-square-foot deck.

The new lodging structure would be 1,985 square feet less than the combined total of the original lodge structures,” the staff report states.

Garage and storage space would be located below the main level. Two shade structures, totaling 2,640 square feet, and four 40-foot shipping See Club, Page A9

Corporate America is nowhere near War in Ukraine supporting Yellen’s global tax deal may affect Bloomberg

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is counting on the support of corporate America for a recently agreed global tax deal to help win passage in Congress – a crucial step for its worldwide success.

The problem with that plan: Big business is nowhere near backing the plan. Executives at eight major U.S.-based multinational corporations interviewed by Bloomberg said that far too much remains unknown about the deal, whose fine print is still being negotiated.

Corporate leaders agree that international tax rules need reform and that the groundbreaking global deal Yellen secured last year could deliver important benefits to them by helping to reduce disputes and prevent trade wars. But they also called the plan overly complex and expressed little confidence it would be implemented fairly and uniformly around the world.

The executives represent firms across more than eight industries with a combined $600 billion of annual revenue – each likely exceeding the thresholds for the proposed new global tax rules. They spoke on condition of anonymity to offer candid comments on the accord.

Most of the executives said some version of deal can eventually be finalized, but not on its current, ambitious

Many Republicans are opposed to the accord, and the November midterm elections could give them control of one or both chambers of Congress, adding urgency for Yellen. In a February interview, she stuck to her view that enough Republicans will eventually support the deal because U.S. companies will ask them to.

But the interviews with U.S. company executives indicate such support is far from assured.

“I think there’s a willingness to make it to that finish line,” said Alexandra Minkovich, a partner in the North American tax practice at law firm Baker McKenzie, whose comments echoed those from many executives. “But the mere fact that it’s a political process means the ultimate outcome can’t be guaranteed.”

Two senior Treasury officials, also speaking on condition of anonym-

DAILY REPUBLIC

ity, said they are acutely aware that companies still lack the information necessary to make a final judgment on whether to support the accord. Still, they remain confident that once the deal’s details are ironed out and made public, corporations will prefer that outcome to a world without the agreement and a continued deterioration of the global tax landscape.

In the meantime, the Treasury is continuing to solicit feedback from businesses and lawmakers and incorporating that feedback as it works to resolve all the deal’s open issues, the officials said.

Negotiators already have made remarkable progress toward a transformational agreement in a very short period.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development had tried for eight years to find a plan that would address rampant crossborder profit shifting that was costing governments an estimated $100 billion to $240 billion in tax

revenue each year. But talks at the OECD had stalled, until Yellen and a team at the Treasury revived them in early 2021.

What emerged by midyear was a two-part deal that would introduce a 15% global minimum tax and reallocate some taxing rights from nations where profits are booked to those where revenue is generated – giving so-called market countries a fairer slice of the taxes imposed on the largest multinational corporations.

Importantly, the deal would also ban so-called digital services taxes that target cross-border electronic commerce.

For multinational companies, it promised a trade-off: higher taxes in exchange for a more predictable tax landscape, with relief from the rapidly rising number of tax disputes and potential trade wars. Several executives recognized the attraction – certainty, they said, is invaluable to a business leader.

Last October, government heads from about 135 countries endorsed the agreement. It was a stunning achievement, but the new plan was nowhere near complete.

“Technical” talks, the OECD said, would continue.

The executives who spoke with Bloomberg made clear they see these unresolved details as important enough to make or break the overall deal.

Tax From Page A7 One company engaged in substantial digital commerce – and thus hit harder by digital services taxes – was generally enthusiastic for the deal.

Trade groups including the Information Technology Industry Council and the Computer and Communications Industry Association, praised the agreement and Amazon. com Inc. issued a statement welcoming the “consensus-based solution for international tax harmonization.”

But for the rest, not enough is known yet about the formula for reallocating taxing rights. Without that, they said, the firms can’t begin to estimate how their overall tax exposure will change.

Many are also deeply worried about the com-

Costs

plexity of the reallocation, as it will require them to report on the ultimate destination of their products.

A plan intended to offer certainty, they said, may simply deliver a compliance nightmare.

Executives whose companies aren’t engaged in significant digital commerce expressed resentment about being dragged into a framework where taxes are reallocated in exchange for giving big tech companies relief from digital services taxes – something which wouldn’t benefit them.

The full reallocation plan won’t be available until at least June, leaving firms in the dark for now. That will also leave Congress -- where legislating will grind to a halt in August through the midterm elections – little time to consider how and whether to write the plan into U.S. law before a potential change in partisan control.

Russia-Ukraine conflict, specifically the impact on the top 21 global reinsurers in 2022.

S&P reported a negative outlook on the global reinsurance sector, reflecting its credit trend expectations over the next 12 months, including the current distribution of rating outlooks, existing sector-wide risks and emerging risks.

As of March 31, 29% of S&P’s ratings on the top 21 global reinsurers had negative outlooks, 57% were stable, and 14% were positive or on CreditWatch with positive implications. The rating agency predicts the top 21 global reinsurers to assume around half of the potential losses in the insurance sector on aggregate, varying by

over the past years to the present.

S&P did explain that the extent of the price increases has varied by lines of business, loss experience and regions.

The industry financial position has improved over the past several years due to price increases and additional allocations for reserves to protect against natural catastrophe losses. But the industry continues to struggle with many catastrophes like the fires we have suffered in California.

S&P predicts that the magnitude of the RussiaUkraine conflict losses to add pressure to price increases. If the industry increases prices to a point where their reserves better match the actual losses, then the whole industry would be more stable and secure.

MINNEAPOLIS — As Kat Corrigan sat at her dining room table, painting a canvas, one dog rested at her feet.

The family pug passed through, giving a snort.

Then a cat, named Fatoosh, hopped onto the table, nuzzling Corrigan’s left hand.

Creatures had found their way onto her canvas, too. On this morning, as she did every morning in March, Corrigan was painting a cat.

Two cats, actually, nuzzling one another, gold glints in their eyes.

“In cats’ eyes, there’s so much stuff happening – blue and green . . . and a little bit of gold,” Corrigan said, loading her brush with more of the golden yellow she’d mixed that morning. “How do you create those illusions?”

Over the past decade, Corrigan has captured the eye colors, head tilts and swirling fur of hundreds of pets via her monthlong dog-a-day and cat-a-day challenges, a practice that she believes has made her a better painter. Sure, she paints landscapes. Wildlife, too.

But “pet portraits – that’s the practice that keeps me going,” Corrigan said.

She’s among a cadre of local artists who paint, draw and collage portraits of folks’ pets as a steady source of income in an unsteady profession, as well as a source of joy. They’re an easy sell, especially these days, after the wave of so-called “pandemic puppies” took residence in our homes and our hearts.

“Everybody I know wants artwork of their pets,” said Hannah Frick, a Minneapolis artist trained at the now-defunct College of Visual Arts.

In college, Frick ranked making pet portraits near hanging your artwork in a coffee shop – something, in other words, a serious artist would never do.

“I thought, ‘Oh, I have to make profound, beautiful, abstract pieces of art,’ ” she said, laughing.

“I’m definitely over that.”

Frick first collaged

David Joles/Minneapolis Star Tribune/TNS file photos

Artist Kat Corrigan works on one of her paintings for her 30 cats in 30 days project from her home, as family dogs rest and stir around her, in Minneapolis, March 15. two cats for her sister as “a fun little experiment.”

Today, the collages make up three-quarters of her work. She flips through magazines, pulling out colors or patterns that match the pet in question, creating a palette for the piece.

She’s done dogs, mostly, but also cats, bunnies, a goat and, last month, a snake. Most people pick an 8-by10-inch size, which starts at $150, but Frick has collaged a 4-by-4-foot portrait of a pair of dogs, too. “They’re in charge of that household,” she said, “so it makes sense.”

The folks who live in that household agree: “They are 20-pound dogs that run the show,” said Michelle Horovitz, laughing. She and her husband, Adam Klarfeld, commissioned the large portrait of their small dogs, Tootie and Edna, for a prominent spot in their Minneapolis home.

“Hannah rips up materials – conventional and unconventional – that create the exact palette,” Horovitz said. “She gets every single feature. They look exactly like our dogs from far away.” Then you go up close, she continued, and discover photos, patterns, even mangos.

“It’s an interactive experience because you could stare at it for a hour.”

The artists who love this work say it sustains them, not only financially. Growing up, Corrigan had been “one of those awkward kids who felt I had more of a capability with animals than humans.” Today, the south Minneapolis home she shares with her husband, a puppet artist, and her son bustles with pets, most of them theirs.

So she’s honored to capture others’ beloved creatures, many of whom have died.

“There’s just a really glorious connection when you paint someone’s animal and they appreciate it,” Corrigan said.

“To be a part of that is so humbling.”

In 2003, Leslie Plesser adopted two puppies – a golden retriever and a collie – at the same time “because my husband and I were crazy.”

For Christmas that same year, she received a DSLR camera, her first.

She didn’t want to be one of those people who had a fancy camera she never used, she said. “So I promised I would make one photo every day that was good enough to put on the internet.”

As she moved into the studio, her pups became her test subjects. She trained them to sit and to stay, practicing different lighting techniques against their profiles.

Then people began bringing their own dogs in.

Against a clean backdrop, a dog’s details shine, she said.

The cowlicks in the fur, the bottoms of the paws, the spots on the tummy.

“Dogs are very expressive,” she said. “And dogs aren’t self-conscious. A lot of times when I take people’s portraits, they’re holding their breath or they’re sucking it in or they’re trying to stand in the most flattering pose.

“Dogs are just being dogs.”

But Plesser has been nipped at and peed on. An elderly, shaking chihuahua fell off an ottoman.

Blood went everywhere.

“It’s not glamorous,” she said.

More than half of Plesser’s paid pet clients come to her when their dog is diagnosed with something terminal, which is a bummer: “I don’t think this is how you want to remember your dog.”

So she encourages owners to bring in their pets when they’re spunky and sassy and full of life.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Gratitude expressed to FAST drivers, dispatchers Trying to say goodbye and expressing our gratitude to our GX and B line bus drivers would be a logistical impossibility. The changes in drivers, bus schedules and work schedules prohibit that.

The announcement that SolTrans would be taking over the lines caused apprehension among some passengers. There are many of us who remember our days with Vallejo so we are optimistic that once again we can and will be amenable to the change.

However, that same majority of us will miss the extraordinary kindness and professionalism of our FAST drivers.

Anyone who commutes via bus has had the opportunity to establish a friendship with the bus drivers. It was not practical for those who ride BART and other modes of transportation to be able to cultivate rapport. We have grown protective of our drivers and dispatchers who have ensured our safety. We have requested rather strongly that our fellow riders treat our drivers and dispatcher with respect.

We observed how the drivers interacted with the handicapped and their continual efforts to accommodate them with deep respect and compassionate caring.

We were often amazed by the diplomacy that the drivers and dispatchers exhibited in dealing with disagreeable passengers. They were polite, courteous and understanding. We knew we were protected. We knew we would arrive safely at our destinations. Saying thank you as we disembarked became common.

To our drivers, we must say thank you for being such uniquely wonderful and caring people. You greeted us when we boarded the bus and you wished us well at the beginning and end of our day. Some of us knew your names but some did not. When they described you to us, we knew you by what you said and did. It was easy to tell them the name of their drivers.

It has been a good journey – a safe and pleasant journey with some very special people – the drivers and the dispatchers. We will miss you all greatly. On behalf of my fellow commuters and me, I thank you.

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

lthough California’s population growth began to slow in the 1990s after exploding in the previous decade by 6 million people, both official and independent demographers continued to see relatively strong growth for decades to come.

In 2007, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s in-house demographers projected that California would have 39.9 million residents by 2011. It didn’t happen.

Five years later, then-Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2012-13 budget projected that the state’s population would be “over 39.6 million” by 2016. That didn’t happen either.

In 2016, with the state’s Dan Walters population estimated at 38.7 million, the Public Policy Institute of California declared that “California will continue to gain millions of new residents in each of the next two decades, increasing demand in all areas of infrastructure and public services – including education, transportation, housing, water, health, and welfare.”

“By 2030, PPIC said, “California’s population is projected to reach 44.1 million.”

That’s not going to happen either.

The 2020 census pegged the state’s population at 39.5 million and a recent report from the Census Bureau says California had a net loss of more than a quarter-million residents between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021.

“California appears to be on the verge of a new demographic era, one in which population declines characterize the state,” PPIC demographer Hans Johnson writes in a new analysis.

“Lower levels of international migration, declining birth rates, and increases in deaths all play a role. But the primary driver of the state’s population loss over the past couple years has been the result of California residents moving to other states.”

Since 2010, Johnson continued, “about 7.5 million people moved from California to other states, while only 5.8 million people moved to California from other parts of the country. According to Department of Finance estimates, the state has lost residents to other states every year since 2001.”

Instead of zooming past 40 million to 45 and then 50 million by mid-century, as earlier projections indicated, California may remain stuck just under 40 million indefinitely.

That said, a stagnant population doesn’t mean a lack of demographic change. Declining birth rates, the aging of the large baby boom cohort and rising death rates – three other components – mean, for example, that as a whole, California’s population is growing older. We’re already seeing sharp declines in public school enrollment from the state’s baby bust.

The state-to-state migration patterns Johnson cites also affect the composition of an otherwise stagnant population. Overall, he says, those leaving the state tend to have low to moderate incomes and relatively low levels of education while those moving here have higher levels of education and income.

“Most people who move across state lines do so for housing, job, or family reasons,” Johnson writes. “Since 2015, among interstate movers who cite housing as the primary reason, California has experienced net losses of 413,000 adults (according to the Current Population Survey).

“Net losses among those who cite jobs as the primary reason totaled 333,000 and among those who cite family 239.000. The PPIC Statewide Survey finds that 37% of Californians have seriously considered leaving the state because of housing costs.”

While the differences between incomers and outgoers would seem, at least superficially, to be a net positive for California, they have some very negative effects, including a worsening shortage of workers and widening the state’s already immense economic divide.

“The state’s high cost of living, driven almost solely by comparatively high housing costs, remains an ongoing public policy challenge – one that needs resolution if the state is to be a place of opportunity for all of its residents,” Johnson concludes.

Amen.

Birgitta’s response was so different and so respectful that I have never forgotten it.

Our findings were extensive because the county Board of Supervisors was not adequately funding her department to meet its responsibilities. That response was, “Thank you.

You can see the warts on my nose that I cannot see.”

Thank you, Birgitta, for setting the example of leadership and integrity.

What if bounty to deliver Putin to The Hague offered?

What if someone, or a group of someones, offered a $1 billion, or even a$10 billion prize to deliver Vladimir Putin, unharmed, to The Hague for a war crimes trial?

Everything about the Russia invasion of Ukraine appears to be directly tied to Putin, who could stop it at any moment if he chose to do so, but those who know him well say he is unlikely to do.

It sounds like that’s a lot of money, but the cost of the Ukraine war is making even that amount seem small if something isn’t done to stop it.

And, just maybe, whoever takes over Russia after Putin is gone could be influenced to pay that much, or more, in reparations for the damage done by the war.

Tailwind cover brought back memories for Army Air Corp pilot This is No April Fool’s joke.

Your Tailwind cover sheet for the April 1 issue with the three KC-10 female crew members brought back memories.

On July 30, 1943, two days after graduation as an Army Air Force pilot, I was in Base Operations at Smyrna Army Air Base, Tennessee, a B-24 training base, completing a clearance form for a local flight, when a new B-24 landed, being delivered directly from the factory.

It taxied to the front of operations and parked. After the bomb doors opened, the normal entry and egress for the B-24, the three-person ferry crew exited – pilot, co-pilot and flight engineer – all female.

From that moment on, after a slight ego adjustment, I had no doubt that women could do anything. Yes, I am 98 years old, but my memory is intact, at least some. As I tell friends, "I am 98, nearly blind and deaf, but otherwise in good shape.”

Terrace Senior Living, an assisted living and independent living and memory care facility that is located at 4625 Mangels Blvd. in Fairfield.

We are nestled away near the mountainsides and have had beautiful views of the surrounding Fairfield and Green Valley area, since opening in 2016. We are home to over 100 senior citizens who in their free time, love to go on scenic walks around the community and enjoy the views neighboring.

Recently, we cannot help but notice that these views have been obstructed with many new buildings and construction that has been less than appealing to the eye. We understand this is an ideal place for these types of businesses, but deeply miss our views that some of these residents had as the only thing to admire on a day-to-day basis.

My hope in reaching out is that we can work together to give these seniors, along with our community, something to enjoy. Imagine looking out the window of your apartment to see a huge blank wall, with nothing but buildings, left to right. Now imagine looking out your window to a beautiful mural of the Napa Valley, rolling hills and blue skies.

I would much prefer option two and think if we work together, we can have that. Ideally, we would work together with local artists to collaborate on some type of mural to occupy the blank walls that now surround our building. I think this would be a great opportunity to keep the scenic views, even if painted on, to bring happiness to those passing by or living nearby.

Speaking for the seniors that currently live within our community, I know there a few things day to day that can bring joy to them. A simple mural, that as a community we could fundraise and get monetary donations for, would bring that joy.

Murals could add back quality of life in Rockville senior living area I am a home health physical therapist. I serve my clients, who are mostly elderly, in the FairfieldVacaville region. One of my stops is at Rockville Terrace, an assisted living facility.

I have clients who absolutely love the view from their windows. They were able to see the traffic on I-80 roll by and get a sense of the clockwork of life. However, that changed when the building of big warehouses surrounding the building blocked their view of the open fields and the flowing traffic.

The residents felt saddened and closed in. That was their general sentiment.

Recently, I drove around San Francisco with my family and I saw these wonderful murals. My thought is if murals can be painted on the backs of these buildings, that the view can be improved for the residents of Rockville Terrace.

I feel murals on the back of these buildings could actually add to the quality of life of our elderly living at Rockville Terrace.

The four-alarm blaze was sending black and gray smoke high into the air just off of Bayshore Road, Benicia Fire Department officials said on Twitter.

Fire officials said there was not a shelter-in-place order issued for Benicia, but said that could change if winds changed direction. Officials urged people to avoid the area.

Shortly before 3:45 p.m., Benicia fire officials said wind conditions were favorable, but said they were continuing to monitor air and wind conditions.

From Page One conference in the capital, Kyiv, alongside the visiting Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also paid an unannounced visit to Kyiv on Saturday.

The British government announced it was supplying Ukraine for the first time with anti-ship missile systems, which could help Zelenskyy’s forces counter shelling on southern cities from Russian naval craft in the Black Sea. The new assistance package, which also includes financial aid, “is a testament of our commitment to his country’s struggle against Russia’s barbaric campaign,’’ Johnson said on Twitter after the meeting with Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian Embassy in London posted a photograph of the two leaders sitting in a government office in Kyiv.

In another sign of Russia’s struggles in conducting its offensive in Ukraine, Moscow put a new military general in charge of the operation, the BBC reported, citing unnamed Western sources. Gen. Aleksandr Dvornikov has a reputation as a ruthless commander after leading Russia’s scorched-earth campaign in Syria that was credited with turning the long-raging civil war in favor of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.

Until now, command of the Russian operations in Ukraine has been centralized in Moscow, possibly explaining what experts describe as glaring failures in logistics, supply chains and on-the-ground morale among Russian troops.

Amid a wave of international condemnation and fresh sanctions, Russia has denied responsibility for the missile strike in the city of Kramatorsk on Friday that Ukrainian officials said killed at least 52 people. But Western military officials affirmed that Moscow’s forces were behind the attack. The Pentagon said it believes the weapon was an SS-21, which is the NATO designation for a Tochka short-range ballistic missile variant, according to a senior Defense official.

Zelenskyy warned in an overnight address that those responsible for the railway strike, at all levels of planning, would face consequences.

“This is another war crime of Russia, for which everyone involved will be held accountable,” he said. Investigators, he declared, would establish “who did what, who gave orders, where did the rocket come from, who was carrying it, who gave the order and how the

Ukrainian officials are also continuing to painstakingly document gruesome forensic evidence of atrocities against civilians in areas close to Kyiv, which Russian forces occupied for about a month before breaking off a failed bid to capture the city. They received strong backing from senior European Union officials who inspected a mass grave and other sites in the city of Bucha and pronounced that the “unthinkable” had taken place.

In a sign of some normalcy returning to the capital following the Russian redeployment to the east, some Western diplomats were beginning to return.

Italy’s foreign minister, Luigi Di Maio, was quoted by the Italian news agency ANSA Saturday as saying that Italy would reopen its Kyiv embassy later this month.

The European Union has already said its head of delegation was back in the capital.

But the relative calm in the capital region contrasted with a growing sense of alarm and imminent danger in the country’s separatist Donbas region in the east.

Following the devastating bombardment in Kramatorsk, which left crumpled bodies strewn across the station platforms, Ukraine’s national railway service was ferrying people away from the area as quickly as possible, using nearby cities as jumping-off points for the exodus.

Despite fears that civilians trying to escape the east would again be targeted, Ukrainian officials repeated appeals to noncombatants to flee if they could.

The mayor of Kramatorsk, Oleksandr Honcharenko, said Saturday that evacuation buses would transport people to neighboring cities like Sloviansk, where they could catch trains bound to safer parts of the country.

“The railways do not halt the task of taking everyone to safety,” the railway operator said in a statement on the messaging app Telegram.

Departures would continue from stations in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, it said. Keeping the rail system operational during the war has been a point of pride for Ukrainians.

The governor of Luhansk, Serhiy Gaidai, said on public television that Russia was “amassing forces for an offensive” and that shelling had intensified, making it imperative that civilians find haven elsewhere.

The next phase of fighting is likely to increase in ferocity, Western officials said. At the Pentagon on Friday, a senior U.S. official forecast a metaphorical “knife fight,” saying combat would be “very bloody and very ugly.”

There were growing indications that Russia was laying the groundwork for redoubled combat in the east with strikes on Ukrainian military infrastructure.

Russia’s military said Saturday that its forces had destroyed an ammunition depot at the Myhorod airbase in Ukraine’s central-eastern Poltava region and claimed to have wrecked a Ukrainian fighter jet and helicopter in the strike. A Defense Ministry spokesman was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying another ammunition depot was taken out near the city of Novomoskovsk.

With up to a fifth of Russia’s initial invading force thought to have been incapacitated, Russian President Vladimir Putin appears determined to seize strategic chunks of Ukraine, including the eastern industrial heartland and parts of the southern coast, in order to portray the invasion as a victory, analysts said .

At home, Putin has moved to crush dissent and criminalize antiwar activity. His justice ministry said it had revoked the registrations of a dozen international organizations including the rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The groups vowed to carry on their work.

The museum came about thanks to Jelly Belly Candy Company’s chairman, Herman Rowland Sr., and his collection of American freedom military vehicles.

Geoff Lippman is the museum director. He moved from Florida to California at the request of Herman Rowland Jr. to take the position.

They met when Rowland attended an auction of military vehicles where Lippman was working.

Lippman estimates there are 80 to 90 vehicles on site. Some are on loan from people and others have been given to them.

The newest addition to the collection is a display of soldiers’ uniforms from the Spanish American War to the Gulf War. There are tanks, motorcycles and trucks

people displaced from their homes, more than 4 million have fled to neighboring countries. In Warsaw on Saturday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said a global pledging event for refugees of the war in Ukraine had raised $11 billion.

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister, Iryna Vereshchuk, reported fresh efforts Saturday to help civilians leave the besieged southern port of Mariupol by private transport. The city has been savaged by Russian airstrikes since the first days of the war.

Ukrainian officials for weeks have cited reports that Moscow, in the guise of a humanitarian intervention, has been spiriting Mariupol evacuees away to Russia.

On Saturday, Russia’s RIA news agency quoted the Defense Ministry as saying dozens of people had been “taken to safe places” from the city Friday.

More than 30,000 people have been “illegally deported” to Russia from Mariupol, Ukrainian officials say.

Mariupol is considered a particular prize for Russia, because capturing the city would allow the creation of a land corridor from Russia and territories it controls to the Crimean peninsula, which Russia seized eight years ago.

Ukrainian forces have “continued to hold out against Russian assaults” in parts of southwestern and eastern Mariupol, according to a report late Friday from the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank.

Russian naval forces have been launching cruise missiles to support military operations around Mariupol, on the Sea of Azov, and Mykolaiv, near the Black Sea, British military intelligence said in an assessment Saturday.

Despite denials from Moscow that it deliberately targets noncombatants, British officials said Russia was continuing its attacks on civilians and would likely conduct more strikes like the one in Kramatorsk. for viewing pleasure, some are California street legal and have been seen in area parades and military vehicle shows.

“We have been here for 10 years,” Lippman said. “The last five years we have been doing the demo show.”

One of the biggest draws for the event is the tank which crushed two cars on Saturday only.

They also have a car show with about 50 cars and a People’s Choice voting with trophies going to the winners.

On Sunday the car show will be gone but in its place is a vendor flea market. They will welcome pop-up booths that want to participate.

The museum opens at 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sunday, and also offers membership programs.

They are located at 4144 Abernathy Road, rural Fairfield in Suisun Valley.

SOL ANO/STATE

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, April 10, 2022 A13

Bay Area set for cooling and rain next week Tribune Content Agency There’s more weather whiplash ahead for the Bay Area as the region continues to cool down from high temperatures last week. Strong winds are expected on Saturday and Sunday before a chance of rain breaks through on Monday, ushering in cold, wintery temperatures for the upcoming week, according to the National Weather Service.

“We went from record highs last week

to feeling like winter this week,” said Roger Gass, a meterologist with the weather agency.

On Saturday afternoon and Sunday, conditions will be breezy throughout the Bay Area, with gusts of wind up to 40 miles per hour possible in most areas and up to 60 miles per hour in the North and East Bay hills, Gass said.

Because the winds will be strong over the ocean, a high surf advisory is in effect, Gass said, as large breaking waves could

reach up to 18 to 20 feet with strong rip currents.

These conditions mean people can easily be swept off jetties and rocks into the ocean, and people are advised to avoid the coast if they can.

The winds have not triggered a red flag warning in the Bay Area – though one is in effect for major parts of the Central Valley – because grasses and brush have some moisture in them from recent rains.

Still, winds do prompt an “elevated concern” for fires to spread because the

ground is relatively dry from the lack of rain this year, Gass explained.

“Our threat for a large, rapidly spreading wildfire is not there at the moment,” Gass said.

“But, that said, it really takes just one spark to start a fire.”

He pointed to the fire on the Big Sur coast in January, which he said was “almost unheard of,” to indicate that fires can happen even when there’s no red flag warning.

“People do need to be mindful that it’s still dan-

atures will stay cool, “struggling to even reach the 60s,” Gass said, with more chances of rain Wednesday and Thursday, across the Bay Area, though that precipitation is also likely to stay at or below a tenth of an inch.

“Though there will be light precipitation on and off throughout the week, again, it’s not anything that’s going to greatly impact our current drought conditions, given the deficit of rainfall that we’ve had so far this season,” he said.

gerous out there,” he said.

As the winds die down Sunday afternoon, a “cool, unsettled pattern” will come in, Gass said, bringing a chance of light rain across the Bay Area on Monday, but total rainfall amounts are expected to be less than a tenth of an inch in most locations.

“While any rain is welcome at this point, it’s not going to be a significant rainfall event,” he said. “I wouldn’t cancel any major outdoor plans or anything like that.”

After that, temper-

BART finds ‘potential’ conflict of interest involving S.F. firm awarded $40 million contract with transit agency Tribune Content Agency A manager at BART failed to disclose their ties to a construction management firm awarded a $40 million contract that the manager helped broker, the agency’s inspector general found.

In a report released Friday, BART Inspector General Harriet Richardson urged the agency’s management to seek outside counsel on whether BART should void the remainder of the contract in light of

In brief

the “potential” conflict of interest.

According to Richardson, neither the manager nor the firm disclosed that the former used to be employed by the latter, and that the manager’s spouse and sibling still work at the firm. The lack of disclosure could force BART to void $27 million remaining in the contract and forego paying the firm $5.4 million in unpaid invoices for prior work.

“The BART manager’s relationships create a potential financial inter-

est in the contract, which is against the law,” Richardson said in a statement.

Neither the manager nor the construction firm were identified in the inspector general report, though a Los Angeles Times report identified the latter as the San Francisco-based PGH Wong engineering firm that helped oversee BART’s expansion to north San Jose.

The agency issued a stop-work order in February after it was first made aware of a potential con-

flict, The Times reported.

The BART manager in question was the “agreement manager” for the contract awarded to PGH Wong in 2020, but did not disclose that their spouse worked at the firm or that part of their annual compensation benefits from the firm’s contracts with BART, according to the report.

The potential conflict of interest is partly the result of a “lack of clear guidance and training for employees regarding conflict-of-interest disclo-

sures,” Richardson said.

BART’s management agreed to implement most of the report’s recommendations that included requiring training employees better and permanently reassigning work related to contracts with PGH Wong to another manager.

Though, they pushed back on the request to use outside counsel.

“After an exhaustive review of the situation, management believes all agreements, work plans and invoicing with this

firm are fair and reasonable,” BART management said in its response. “Management is of the opinion that no financial interest was realized by the employee or the firm.”

While the spouse has been removed from working on BART-related projects, the report urged BART to seek outside legal advice and proactively void the PGH Wong contract.

VACAVILLE — Country performer Easton Corbin will perform May 6 at the Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre.

The “A Little More Country Than That” singer, Billboard’s 2010 Top New Country Artist, has seven top singles, including his second No. 1 hit, “Roll With It.” “That’s what I love and that’s what I do,” Corbin said in a statement about his passion for traditional country music. “For me, it’s about keeping one foot in the traditional and one foot in the modern and marrying those two. I’m a country singer: That’s one of the things that I take pride in. I try to hone that craft and try to represent that.”

The Florida native said he was influenced by Merle Haggard and Hank Williams, but noted that he was surrounded by music during his childhood.

“My earliest memories are of me as a kid with a guitar, singing and playing along with the radio,” Corbin recalled. “I knew from an early age I wanted to be a country singer.”

And now, he is knows exactly the kind of music he wants to play.

“I know what I want to say and what I don’t want to say, and I know what I would say and what I wouldn’t say,” he explained.

“I think the new music highlights the fact that we’ve been honing these songs and trying to cut the best songs and writing the best songs we can. I think the Didn’t Miss A Beat project is a great representation of that.”

Tickets for the concert are on sale. They are are $66 and are available through the Box Office at 707-469-4013 or at VPAT.net.

Academy bans Smith for 10 years from events, including the Oscars Tribune Content Agency

Myung Chun/Los Angeles Times/TNS file

Will Smith accepts the award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for “King Richard” during the 94th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, March 27.

LOS ANGELES — Nearly two weeks after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars over a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Friday it is forbidding Smith from attending any academy events, including the Oscars, for 10 years.

“This action we are taking today in response

to Will Smith’s behavior is a step toward a larger goal of protecting the safety of our performers and guests, and restoring trust in the academy,” the organization’s President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson said in an open letter to members following a meeting of the organization’s 54-member board. “We also hope this can begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted.”

Smith, 53, quickly issued

a statement Friday that read: “I accept and respect the academy’s decision.”

The news comes one week after Smith – who went on to win the lead actor Oscar less than an hour after striking Rock – resigned from the academy, calling his actions “shocking, painful, and inexcusable.” By resigning, Smith preempted what many expected to be his potential suspension or expulsion See Smith, Page B3

diversions

Smith From Page B1 from the academy. But the organization, under pressure to hold Smith accountable for the violent outburst that derailed the Oscars and stunned millions of viewers, was determined to press ahead with the disciplinary proceedings it announced the day after the ceremony.

With its actions Friday, the academy stopped short of rendering Smith ineligible for consideration for future Oscar nominations. The actor has a film from Apple called “Emancipation” slated for release this year.

In the run-up to the board meeting Friday – which was moved up from April 18 following Smith’s resignation – questions swirled over what steps the academy would take to punish one of the film industry’s most bankable and generally well-liked stars. The organization’s code of conduct, enacted in 2017 following the Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct scandal, gives academy leaders wide latitude in the disciplin-

ary measures they can undertake for violations of the group’s standards, ranging from a simple reprimand to expulsion and loss of eligibility to receive future Oscars.

In the wake of the Oscars, the academy faced fierce criticism over its handling of the incident, with many questioning why Smith was not removed from the Dolby Theatre after striking Rock and yelling profanities from his seat. In a statement last week, the organization said Smith “was asked to leave the ceremony but refused,” even as it expressed some misgivings over its own decisions that night.

But conflicting accounts quickly emerged, with Smith’s camp disputing the nature of the academy’s request, further muddying the picture of what happened backstage in the tense and chaotic minutes after the altercation.

In their letter Friday, academy leaders expressed regret over their own handling of the incident and expressed gratitude to Rock for “maintaining his composure under extraordinary circumstances.”

Join us Sunday as we re-enact the Lord’s Supper

T

Greg Davidson Religious view

here will be an amazing moment Sunday at Trinity Baptist Church.

As the clock tolls 6, almost like a movie script, the disciples who gathered around a table with Jesus 2,000 years ago seem to come to life as they celebrate with the Lord Jesus that moving moment of the Lord’s Supper.

The stage is set to the

biblical specs set out in the scriptures that allows the audience to be transported to that historic moment that took place hours before the crucifixion of Jesus.

There is a dramatization of a humble savior washing the feet of his disciples.

There is the reenactment of the struggle of each disciple with the thought that one of them would possibly betray

the Lord they passionately followed for three and a half years on the dusty roads of Palestine. There is the climax of Judas exiting the supper to sell out the Sovereign Messiah, who came to save the world.

Furthermore, in this moment of witnessing the love Jesus exhibited to his disciples, and the courage he demonstrated in the shadow

of his impending death, each individual in the audience is gripped by the majesty and magnificence of their Lord.

This amazing reenactment on Palm Sunday initiates the commemoration of the greatest week in human history that we know as Holy Week.

As we stand in awe of our Redeemer at the threshold of Holy Week, the only hope

for a war weary and troubled world, we are moved to pray like the apostle John, “Even so Lord Jesus come quickly.”

enabler. — Confused Dear Confused: While it is fine to take him at his word, it is even more important to take him at his actions. Is he attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings or other support groups to help him with his addiction? Is he using the same tools that helped him get sober in the first place? Does he have a sponsor? All of these questions are worth a conversation between the two of you before any decision is made.

If you love him dearly, then attending Al-Anon meetings will also help you to deal with him. Before any major decision is made, you need the help of professionals to manage your

husband’s disease. You are correct that you want to help him only if he helps himself, and the only way he can help himself is if he stays honest with you from the beginning. That is where the action steps come into play. Sobriety has to be his number one goal.

you for sharing your story. I am printing your letter alongside another spouse who is struggling with her husband’s addiction. My hope is that your letter inspires her to continue to support her husband and that she finds the same success that you and your husband did as a team in fighting this disease.

Bravo for staying the course and saving his life! It sounds like true love and dedication from both of you.

FOR YOUR HEALTH

by Holiday Mathis

Today’s birthday In a brush of cosmic contradiction, the better you get at accepting the circumstances of life as they are without requiring them to be anything other than that, the more the fates favor you with beautiful experiences unfolding as though custom created to please you. Your attitude of relaxed fun attracts new faces. Love is all around you. Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 8, 2, 28 and 41.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Whether you choose to hang back and observe or jump in and participate, do it because you want to, not because someone is pressuring you. If you need support in standing up for yourself, here it is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s someone watching your moves today and probably commenting on them a little more than you’d like. If you can get past the annoyance of this, you may find value in the actual advice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Emotions warp the space-time continuum.

Fear, waiting and discomfort make the seconds go by agonizingly slow. Joy, fascination and fun speed things up.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re adaptable but principled. It is possible to bend without violating the rules you hold sacred, but it is not quite obvious how to do this. Brainstorm with a partner to come up with possible solutions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Either you will notice signs of trouble ahead or you will see that where you’re headed isn’t the destination you imagined it would be. The fates are on your side as you pivot.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Criticism should be gentle. Your aim is not to tear anyone down but to promote growth in the person you’re advising – especially if that person is you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a nugget of gold in a relationship that you haven’t uncovered. Finding it will be a process of chipping away at superficialities and washing away layers of protection and ego that separate us all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t set out on an adventure; you just set out. The harrowing fun starts when expectations are not met, tools fail and plans disintegrate. This is the kind of gift that money can’t buy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

As playwrights know, people have a very short attention span for exposition. You’ll quickly get to the heart of the story and have the complete attention of your audience.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

New people juice your curiosity.

You’ll learn more through friendly playfulness and observation than you could possibly find out by asking direct questions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Having your emotional needs met makes you feel physically strong and capable. A loved one’s affection and attention will improve your health.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Someone casts you in a role. Whether you play it is up to you. If you decide to take it on, don’t mistake the role for who you are. You’re the artist behind the creation, not the creation itself.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: “This is Us” star Mandy Moore is an enchanting presence on and off screen, as a voice-over queen with several major credits including Rapunzel in “Tangled,” Cassandra in “High School USA” and the adorable kitty Sheriff Callie in “Sheriff Callie’s Wild West.”

More than 65 million Americans report binge drinking or heavy drinking in a one-month period.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month Sally Wyatt

A

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY REPUBLIC

cold beer on a warm day can be a satisfying refreshment, but when does alcohol consumption edge from satisfaction to addiction? April may be the right time to address that question, as it is Alcohol Awareness Month.

The National Council for Alcoholism and Drug Dependence launched the awareness campaign in 1987 with the aim of raising awareness and to outline possible causes and offer available treatments, as well as reducing the social stigma associated with alcoholism. After more than two years of Covid-19-related stress and isolation, the topic could be more important now than ever.

More than 65 million Americans report binge drinking or heavy drinking in a one-month period, which is more than 40 percent of those who drink alcohol, according to the National Institutes of Health.

For many, the first stages of alcohol use disorder, or AUD, start in the teenage years, often through persistent binge drinking. A recent national survey found that among people ages 26 and older, those who began drinking before age 15 were more than five times as likely to report having AUD in the past year as those who waited until age 21 or later to begin drinking. The risk for females in this group is higher than that of males.

Genetics and family history of alcohol problems may also play a role.

AUD risk is influenced by a person’s genes and their environment. Parents’ drinking patterns may also influence the likelihood that a child will one day develop AUD. A wide range of psychiatric conditions, including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder also increase the risk of AUD. People with a history of childhood trauma are also vulnerable.

However, adults and senior citizens can develop AUD even if they have not previously had any problematic drinking habits.

What is considered problematic? Frequent hangovers, having alcohol-related accidents, saying or doing things that hurt you or others, experiencing mood swings or an impaired ability to work, or facing depression or anxiety are indicators. These may not necessarily signal alcoholism, but it can be the first signs of addiction, according to the National Institutes of Health.

When diagnosing alcoholism, many medical professionals will use a spectrum of 11 criteria or symptoms to measure severity. The more criteria the alcohol abuser meets, the higher the level of alcoholism. The 11 criteria are: n Taking alcohol in larger amounts or drinking for longer than you intended to; n Wanting to cut down or stop using

alcohol but not managing to; n Spending a lot of time obtaining, using or recovering from use of alcohol; n Cravings and urges to use alcohol; n Not managing to meet commitments at work, home or school; n Continuing to use alcohol, even when it causes problems with family or friends; n Giving up important social, occupational or recreational activities in favor of alcohol use; n Getting into dangerous situations while under the influence of alcohol, such as driving under the influence, using machinery or having unsafe sex; n Continued alcohol consumption, even when you know it is making a physical or psychological problem worse; n Having to drink increasing amounts of alcohol to get the effect you want; and n Development of alcohol withdrawal symptoms when not drinking.

Having two or three of the above criteria would signal mild AUD; four to five would be a moderate AUD, and six or more indicates a severe AUD. If you or a loved one are concerned about alcohol use and would like to explore whether you might have AUD, please visit the Rethinking Drinking website at https://www.rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov.

Steelers’ QB Haskins dies on Florida highway B7 Sunday, April 10, 2022 SECTION B Paul Farmer . Sports Editor . 427.6926

Scheffler holding steady in lead at Masters Jim Souhan

ANALYSIS

STAR TRIBUNE

AUGUSTA, GA. — Scottie Scheffler looks like he was born wearing soft spikes. He’s tall, athletic and dresses like a golf mannequin, wearing only that which is crisp and new.

Cameron Smith looks like he was conceived behind the stage at an AC/DC concert. His mullet would place him on the Minnesota all-state hockey hair team if he moved to Warroad and laced on skates. He promised to cut his flowing locks for his girlfriend if he ever won a PGA Tour event,

then reneged, saying “it feels like a part of me now. He apparently dresses in the dark.”

Sunday, Scheffler and Smith will play in the last group at the 2022 Masters, providing contrasting versions of cool.

Saturday, Scheffler shot a 71 to finish at 9 under par. On a difficult, cold, windy day, Smith shot a 68 to reach 6 under.

Scheffler began Saturday with a five-shot lead over four golfers; Smith passed all four. Sungjae Im is at 4 under; no one else is better than 2 under.

While neither has won a major, Scheffler and Smith have been the best players in the world this season, winning a combined five times, with Smith winning the Players Championship last month.

Smith looks like a rocker but putts with hands soft as azalea blossoms. Scheffler does the electric slide during his swing, his right foot scooting toward his left as he releases the club. They will be the first pairing of top 10 players in the world golf rankings in the last group of a final round of a major since 2015, when Jason

Day and Jordan Spieth were together on Sunday for the PGA Championship that Day won at Whistling Straits.

Smith cut into Scheffler’s lead because after almost three full rounds of nearly flawless play, Scheffler finally blinked on the back nine on Saturday. He made three bogeys in four holes, starting with the 12th, then pulled his drive on No. 18 into the trees, requiring a search for his ball and a drop that led to another bogey.

Acknowledging that he was “a hothead” in junior golf, Scheffler has learned to control his

emotions, and was doing so until he saw officials looking for the ball. “I thought, ‘No big deal,’ “ Scheffler said. “Then I saw the guy with the flag kind of panicking and I was like, ‘Oh, crap.”

He took a drop, held a long, calm conversation with a rules official, then hit a 3-iron about 250 yards, almost hitting the flagstick. The ball rolled through the green, then he got up and down to set up his showdown with Smith.

Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodón (16) reacts after striking out Garrett Cooper (26) of the Marlins with men

in scoring position in the fifth inning Saturday at Oracle Park in San Francisco.

Giants unable to capitalize on Rodón's brilliant season debut Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — Carlos Rodón took the mound for the first time at Oracle Park Saturday afternoon to “Rooster,” the seminal grunge track

by Alice In Chains, and fired his warm-up pitches with the top button of his jersey flapping in the breeze off the San Francisco Bay. As he walked off of it for the final time after the fifth inning, he leaped and pumped his fist and soaked in the standing ovation from fans who witnessed one of the most marvelous pitching debuts in franchise history.

By the time his day was over, Rodón had struck out a dozen

Marlins, more than all but two other pitchers in their first start with the Giants, and recorded swings and misses on more than a quarter of his 89 total pitches. He did all this in five innings, while allowing only one run, but came up empty in the decision as the Giants struggled almost as much to hit Marlins starter Pablo López.

Gifted brilliance

by Rodón, neither the Giants’ bats nor their bullpen could back it up in a 2-1 loss, the Giants’ first defeat of the season.

The Giants mounted one scoring rally to ensure Rodón wouldn’t be saddled with the loss but couldn’t muster another after the Marlins

plated the go-ahead run off Jake McGee in the seventh inning.

Rodón’s stuff was so nasty that Joey Bart had a hard time handling it behind the plate, leading to the only run the Marlins managed off the left-hander. Batting in the nine hole, Jon Berti reached on an infield single in the third and came around to score the first run of the game on a variety of defensive lapses and pitches too tough to handle.

Wilmer Flores airmailed the throw to first base, allowing Berti to advance to second. He made it to third, then scored on two pitches in the dirt that Bart couldn’t wrangle.

In the seventh, McGee

surrendered leadoff a double to third baseman Brian Anderson, who became the decisive run a batter later when he was driven home on a single by center fielder Jesus Sanchez.

Two games into the season, the Giants bullpen has already surrendered the lead twice, including Friday after Camilo Doval surrendered a goahead home run in the ninth inning.

A rarity last season, the Giants rolled out the same lineup as Opening Day. But while they scored six runs and made up for the late blown lead Friday, the same group was held to just See Giants, Page B9

SAN FRANCISCO — Jordan Poole has done everything the Warriors have asked of him this season and then some.

He thrived as starter in place of the injured Klay Thompson earlier in the season, proving himself to be a crafty scorer both at the rim and behind the arc. And Poole has since stepped up in place of Stephen Curry, who’s missed the last three weeks with a foot injury.

Poole has been one of the NBA’s best nonAll-Star players since the February break. In 34 games, he’s averaging 23.7 points while shooting 48.3% from the field and 42.5% from deep. He’s also tallying 5.1 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.

Poole has gotten more looks from opponents, often drawing double teams as of late.

That pressure has actually helped him develop into a better facilitator.

Poole’s court vision has improved through-

Castellanos helps power Phillies to second straight win over A’s Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — Bryce Harper had something to say.

So, after being presented with the National League MVP award in a pregame ceremony Saturday, he stepped to a podium and made brief remarks, including eight words that may serve as the keynote to the Phillies’ season.

“Let’s go have a party on Broad Street.”

On cue, then, Nick Castellanos brought a noisemaker.

Castellanos swatted his first Phillies home run, a two-run shot in the first inning after Harper got hit by a pitch. And like his powerhitting partner, Kyle Schwarber, 25 hours earlier on opening day,

Castellanos’ blast set the tone for a 4-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics before another jam-packed crowd at Citizens Bank Park.

OK, before we go further, a caveat: Nobody expects the A’s to be any good this season. They traded four of their best players last month and have a $47 million payroll, roughly as much as the combined 2022 salaries for Harper and Castellanos.

But victories over Oakland count the same as victories over any other team, and the Phillies struggled to beat Arizona, Colorado, Baltimore, and other tomato cans down the stretch last season.

So, starting pitcher Kyle Gibson gladly took his 10 strikeouts, one shy of matching his career-high.

And Castellanos, Rhys Hoskins, and Jean Segura were happy to collect home runs. And the Phillies took no mercy in executing their formula: Crush the ball, early, often, and without regard for opposing pitchers.

The A’s were held to five hits with Jed Lowrie and Stephen Piscotty have two apiece. Elvis Andrus also had a hit. Oakland scored in the eighth inning when a deep drive to right center plated Andrus.

They scored again in the ninth on an RBI single by Lowrie that scored Tony Kemp.

out the season, and he’s learning when to make the extra pass to create opportunities for his teammates. That was on display in Thursday’s regular-season home finale win over the starless Los Angeles Lakers.

With two defenders on him near the 3-point line in the fourth quarter, Poole passed to a cutting Andre Iguodala, who who finished at the rim.

“It just feels really good to put my teammates in really easy situations to score the ball, especially getting guys going early in case the game gets close… just making the right play,” Poole said.

Poole tied for a team high Saturday night with 18 points as the Warriors secured a 100-94 win at San Antonio.

Jonathan Kuminga had 18 points as well, while Andrew Wiggins scored 15.

Draymond Green had a big night with 12 points and 13 rebounds in helping Golden State to the win.

NAPA – The Solano College baseball team scored five runs in the first inning and dominated host Napa Valley 13-5, Friday.

Zion Judkins and and Eli DeGuzman each had two hits and drove in three RBIs. Shane Martin had a single and a double. Solano improved to 6-6 in the Bay Valley Conference and 9-19 overall.

Ryan Radkey pitched eight innings for the Falcons. Radkey allowed two earned runs on six hits and had three strikeouts.

Prep Baseball

Olsen homers in Vanden's win FAIRFIELD — The Vanden High baseball

team cruised by visiting Berkeley 7-2 Friday in a non-league game, thanks in part to a 5-run fifth inning.

Jason Olsen helped power the Vikings offense by going 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBIs and two runs scored. Jack Brooks was 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored.

Cody Buckley and Tyler James each had doubles.

D.J. Anderson pitched six innings, allowing only one unearned run and seven hits to go with six strikeouts. Calvin Malech worked one inning on the mound.

On Saturday, the Vikings had a tournament game in Sacramento against Christian Brothers and lost 12-7. The Vikings had a Saturday afternoon game See Local, Page B9

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, April 10, 2022 B7

Who fits as the Sharks’ next general manager?

Tribune Content Agency SAN JOSE — Sharks president Jonathan Becher joked that his phone was already buzzing with interested parties Thursday after Doug Wilson announced he was stepping down as the team’s general manager.

The Sharks are about to undertake their first general manager search in close to two decades after Wilson, who had been on medical leave, announced he was parting ways with the organization to focus on his well-being.

Wilson, 64, had been away from the team since late November for undisclosed health reasons.

Becher, interim general manager Joe Will and owner Hasso Plattner will lead the search committee. For now, the team is looking for an external replacement, so it appears potential internal candidates for the full-time position like Will, Sharks director of scouting Doug Wilson Jr. and scout Ned Colletti won’t necessarily be considered right away.

“One of the reasons we’re

Patrick Tehan/Bay Area News Group

San Jose Sharks majority owner Hasso Plattner has a big decision on his hands in having to find a new general manager for the team. looking externally is we will get new ideas, we’ll hear new things,” Becher said. “We’re not necessarily going to do things exactly the same way. By definition, a new GM will have new ideas.”

The Sharks do not have a specific timeline in mind for a hire, so they feel they will not necessarily need to have someone in place prior to the NHL draft on July 7-8 or when free agency gets underway the following week.

“We’ll see where this goes,” Will said. “But I have no doubt there’s going to be some very

good candidates out there. At that point in time, we’ll be sifting through that and who is really the best fit to mesh with our needs here in San Jose.”

The Sharks are about to miss the playoffs for the third straight year but feel they can be in a more competitive position next season.

Some potential candidates:

Sean Burke Burke, 55, a scout and the director of goaltending for the Montreal Canadiens, recently interviewed for the formerly open general manager job in Vancouver, so he’s certainly no stranger to the process.

Burke was part of the Coyotes’ management group for six seasons, holding the titles of director of player development and assistant general manager.

He also played 18 NHL seasons, represented Canada at the 1988 and 1992 Winter Olympics and was Team Canada’s GM at the 2018 Games in PyeongChang.

Perhaps this is his time to lead an NHL franchise.

Mathieu Darche

Scott Mellanby

Darche, 45, played pro hockey for 12 seasons, including one year in the Sharks organization, although mostly in the AHL with Worcester. More relevant is his front office experience, as he’s in his third season as Tampa Bay’s director of hockey operations, working alongside Lightning GM Julien BriseBois.

Darche was a finalist for GM jobs in Vancouver and Chicago and is largely seen as an up-andcomer in the front office world.

Mellanby, 55, worked with the Canadiens for nine seasons but resigned his position as the team’s assistant general manager when he wasn’t promoted to the GM’s chair after Marc Bergevin stepped down in November.

Mellanby’s name has come up whenever an NHL GM job opens up, and he would be a fairly orthodox pick for the Sharks. Besides his front office experience, he also played 1,431 games in the NHL over 21 seasons.

Chris MacFarland Is in his seventh season as the assistant general manager of the Colorado Avalanche, working as GM Joe Sakic’s right-hand man.

MacFarland, 51, also spent 16 years in the hockey operations department of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Colorado’s turnaround from cellar-dweller a few years ago to Stanley Cup contender now makes MacFarland an intriguing potential candidate.

Scott Nichol Nichol, 47, is certainly familiar to Sharks fans after he played two seasons for the team from 2009 to 2011. He’s worked in the Nashville organization since 2013 as the team’s director of player development, has been the GM of the Milwaukee Admirals since 2018, and is in his first season as a Predators assistant GM.

Steelers’ QB hit by vehicle, killed Tribune Content Agency PITTSBURGH – Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who was trying to resurrect a once-promising career and hoping to have an opportunity this season to be Ben Roethlisberger’s replacement, tragically died HASKINS early Saturday morning after being hit by a vehicle in South Florida.

Haskins, 24, was in Boca Raton, Fla., working out with some of his teammates that included new quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and was headed to the Fort Lauderdale airport to return to Pittsburgh when the accident occurred.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the accident occurred at 6:37 a.m. when Haskins was walking on a “limited access facility for unknown reasons” and attempted to cross the westbound lanes of Interstate 595 when he was struck by a dump truck. Haskins was pronounced dead at the scene, and the agency said a traffic homicide investigation is open.

Haskins was in his second season with the Steelers after being Washington’s first-round draft choice in 2019. He was trying to start a new chapter with the Steelers, who signed him as a free agent in January 2021 and tendered him a

Weather

one-year $2.54 million offer as a restricted free agent last month.

“I am devastated and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement. “He quickly became a part of our Steelers family upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our hardest workers, both on the field and in our community. Dwayne was a great teammate, but even more so a tremendous friend to so many. I am truly heartbroken. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kalabrya, and his entire family during this difficult time.”

Haskins had been spending nearly every day of the offseason in the Steelers facility, watching film and working out to get ready to battle with Trubisky and Mason Rudolph for one of the quarterback spots.

“I am absolutely heartbroken to hear the news of the passing of Dwayne Haskins Jr.,” Washington coach Ron Rivera said in a statement. “Dwayne was a talented young man who had a long life ahead of him. This is a very sad time and I am honestly at a loss for words. I know I speak for the rest of our team in saying he will be sorely missed.”

Haskins was born in New Jersey, and even trained in Central Pennsylvania as a youth. He played at Bullis School in Potomac, Md., before going on to become a highly decorated player with the Buckeyes despite playing only one season as a starter.

Haskins was the 15th overall pick in the 2019 draft after throwing 50 touchdowns his final season at Ohio State. That helped make him a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award, and he finished third in the Heisman voting. Haskins was also a first-team All Big-Ten pick in 2018, and was the MVP of the Big Ten title game that year. He was the Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year, too, and won the Sammy Baugh Trophy and Kellen Moore Award that year. He was the 2019 Rose Bowl MVP. But he was released by Washington after two turbulent seasons in which he compiled a 3-10 record as a starter and was eventually benched by coach Ron Rivera. In 16 games for Washington, he passed for 2,804 yards and 12 touchdowns with 14 interceptions. Haskins did not appear in a regular season game for the Steelers in 2021.

Haskins’ teammates responded to his death on social media.

“Dwayne meant so much to so many people,” defensive captain Cam Heyward wrote.

Olympic figure skater retires at the age of 16 Tribune Content Agency OAKLAND — Bay Area native Alysa Liu, a two-time United States national figure skating champion and 2022 Winter Olympics participant, announced her retirement at age 16 on Saturday.

In an Instagram post, Liu said she started skating when she was five years old, she “never thought I would have accomplished so much,” and “now that i’m finally done with my goals in skating I’m going to be moving on with my life.”

“This skating thing has taught me a lot more about life than I anticipated,” Liu said in her Instagram post. “I’m really glad I skated.”

Liu won United States women’s singles championships in Detroit in 2019 and in Greensboro in 2020 and took home a bronze medal at the 2020 women’s singles championship in Tallin, Estonia.

Liu missed the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang because she was too young to participate .

With 12 strikeouts in his Giants debut, Rodón joined elite and exclusive company. The only other pitchers to match that number in their respective debuts were Juan Marichal (12 vs. Philadelphia on July 19, 1960) and Cliff Melton (13 vs.

Boston on April 25, 1937) – and both pitchers needed nine innings for the total it took Rodón just five frames to reach.

Rodón fired his first pitch to Miami leadoff man Jorge Soler at 97 mph and didn’t throw one slower than that until the second inning. He threw 10 pitches – all fastballs – in the first inning and got two strikeouts.

Then, almost as a sick joke, started Avisail Garcia off the next inning with four straight breaking balls, getting him swinging, too, on an 85-mph slider.

He became the first pitcher since Carlos Carrasco in 2019 to record at least 12 strikeouts in five innings or fewer, ringing up at least two batters in every inning and striking out the side twice.

Of his 12 strikeouts,

of the lineup in baseball than Harper-Castellanos,” Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said in the waning days of spring training.

After allowing a one-out single to Jed Lowrie in the first inning, Gibson – Kyle, that is – retired 14 consecutive batters.

He held the A’s to two hits in

11 came via swings and misses. He got six with fastballs, five with his slider and even broke out the curveball he has been refining to get the center fielder Sanchez looking to lead off the fifth inning.

Rodón’s heater topped out at 98.9 mph. The fastball averaged 97.4 mph, notably a full two ticks higher than he has averaged in any previous season.

As with the rest of the Giants’ starting staff coming off a condensed spring training, Rodón was on a loose pitch limit and took a count of 61 into the fifth inning. No pitcher in the Statcast era (since 2008) has recorded more swings and misses (19) on that few pitches, and his total (24) over five innings has been outdone only three times in the Statcast era. Giants pitchers have recorded that many in a start of any length only seven times.

But, after sending down the first two Marlins in the fifth for punchouts 10 and 11, Rodón began to show signs of wear. The fastball velocity never dipped, but he started missing up in the zone. He issued back to back walks that put runners on first and second while his pitch count creeped higher.

On his 89th pitch, the crowd rose to its feet, then erupted when Rodón put a 98 mph heater past Garrett Cooper for his 12th strikeout.

The series resumes today in San Francisco with a 1:05 p.m. start at Oracle Park.

seven scoreless innings and struck out 10, his highest total in a game since May 8, 2019, for Minnesota against Toronto.

Gibson also benefited from nifty infield defense. In the fifth inning, second baseman Jean Segura dove for Elvis Andrus’ smash, got to his feet, and made an on-time throw.
