Chabad Center for Jewish Life keeps Holocaust history with survivor’s tale Susan Hiland

SHILAND@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Sy Karfiol spoke at the Chabad Center for Jewish Life on Sunday, recounting surviving the Holocaust for a room of about 30 listeners. He is part of the Central Valley Holocaust Survivors and Descendants group out of Sacramento, comprised of survivors and the children of survivors who tell their stories at schools and other places so the world will not forget. Karfiol, of Fairfield, has spoken to groups for about 10 years, some talks in large high schools and others in small venues. Karfiol and his sister were hidden during the Holocaust by their mother Berthe (nee Freifeld) Karfiol after she realized their father had been taken and probably

would never be seen again. A childless Catholic family took them in and hid them in plain sight. They both survived the war years as Catholic schoolchildren. A couple of years after the war, when their father miraculously returned to take them back with him to Belgium, everything changed. “That was the end of the good years,” Karfiol said Sunday. Today we would say his father had post-traumatic stress disorder but at the time, he had a temper. He took his rage out on his young son, making his childhood a very difficult place to grow. It was many years later that he heard what happened to his mother from a friend from the old neighborhood. She and his grandmother were shot one night in their home by soldiers.

“According to this friend, she was part of the underground and had blown up a building,” Karfiol said. The Chabad Center for Jewish Life has held several talks over the years with survivors of the Holocaust, including the step-sister of Anne Frank. “We have had almost a dozen,” Rabbi Chaim Zaklos said Sunday. These talks, he said, are important because they remind people who are struggling that they, too, can survive these ordeals. “We can summon optimism and keep hope alive in these turbulent times,” Zaklos said. “It is also important to remember those that perished.” Zaklos spoke to the group and those who attended on Zoom about See History, Page A8

US gets first 70,000 pounds of baby formula Tribune Content Agency A planeload of more than 70,000 pounds of baby formula arrived in the U.S., starting an emergency program to alleviate a national shortage that has left some parents scrounging to feed their children. More formula will start arriving in stores “as early as this week,” Brian Deese, President Joe Biden’s top economic adviser in the White House, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” The plane that landed in Indianapolis on Sunday will address “15% of the overall national volume that we need,” he said. Faced with pressure by both Republicans and Democrats to address the crisis, Biden last week ordered the use of government planes to airlift infant formula to the world’s richest country. He also invoked emergency powers under the Defense Production Act to spur domestic manufacturing. The U.S. Air Force cargo plane from Ramstein Air Base in Germany delivered

VACAVILLE — All evacuation warnings were lifted Sunday in connection with a wildfire that sparked Saturday in the rugged hills north of Vacaville and promoted evacuations in an area previously devastated by the LNU Lightning Complex Fire in mid-August 2020. The fire, dubbed the Quail Fire, had burned across 0.23 square miles (150 acres), according to the Solano County Office of Emergency Services, and was 75% contained as of early Sunday afternoon, when all of the evacuation warnings

were ended. The fire started around 3:15 p.m. Saturday in the area of Quail Canyon Road and Pleasants Valley Road, southwest of Winters, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports. Cal Fire listed the burn area Sunday afternoon at 0.21 square miles (135 acres). Firefighters continued their work Sunday as the National Weather Service issued a fire danger warning, known as a Red Flag warning, for Solano County and across the central portion of the state See Fire, Page A8

Ukraine says it’s holding off Russia’s intensified thrust Los Angeles Times KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian forces were deterring Russia’s intensified offensive in the east, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday, even as he labeled the grinding military panorama across the country as “very hard.” The situation in the heavily contested eastern Donbas region “is extremely difficult,” Zelenskyy said in his overnight address, noting that Russian forces continue to mass against the eastern Ukrainian cities of Severodonetsk and Slovyansk, strategic

points that serve as the base for the Ukrainian defense of the Donbas. “The Armed Forces of Ukraine are deterring this offensive,” the president said. “Every day that our defenders take away from these offensive plans of Russia, disrupting them, is a concrete contribution.” He described a strategy of wearing down and frustrating Russian forces as they continue to pound Ukrainian positions.

Now honestly, I have not yet cracked open the five free comics I got that day, but I had to go there and honor that kid in me who loved the stories, the language, the art and the imagination contained within those paper pages. His head would have exploded if back in the day we had a local store wholly devoted to comics that every year gave out freebies. I’m juiced when I go there and see future 58-year-olds who will hopefully have similar experiences one day. Farmers market: If I was a pessimist I could lament the fact that when I went to the Thursday downtown farmers market a couple of weeks ago the longest line was for kettle corn, but I am not a pessimist. I am pleased that Fairfielders have the option of purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables in town and it may be silly, but I’ve also

always enjoyed being able to just stroll around in the middle of the street. Mother’s Day Artisan Fair: My wife Beth and I went to the Mother’s Day Artisan Fair at the Suisun City waterfront put on by Brenda Mossa Events. We went to sell copies of my first book “Growing Up in Fairfield, California,” and promote the second, “Lost Restaurants of Fairfield, California,” which will be published on the Fourth of July. While it was a bit cold and windy, it was still so great to see so many members of the community out and enjoying themselves. I saw former co-workers, friends from junior high and high school, members of the I Grew Up In Fairfield Too Facebook group and met numerous new people as well. It was especially cool because so often when we are at these events, it’s all about me, but one woman came to our

booth and saw my book and said she wasn’t from Fairfield. Beth asked where she was from and she replied, “Texas.” “So am I!” Beth said. “Where?” When the woman answered, “El Paso” – where Beth grew up – it started a long, happy, animated conversation of connectedness and remembrance of things between the two of them. Now, that is something I do all the time here with Fairfield folks, but Beth rarely has that opportunity. Bathroom unity: In the bathroom at work I noticed there are two toilet paper rolls. One goes the correct way (over) and one goes the incorrect way (under). Something for everyone! We can all get along! Fairfield freelance humor columnist and accidental local historian Tony Wade writes two weekly columns: “The Last Laugh” on Mondays and “Back in the Day” on Fridays.

VACAVILLE — Fiesta Days returns after a twoyear pandemic pause to its traditional Memorial Day weekend with all the activities it has offered 64 times in the previous 67 years. The annual event has celebrated the city’s Spanish and western heritage since 1957. It has happened every year except 1959, when the event was washed out by heavy rain, and then again the past two years because of Covid. Committee chairwoman Karen Juilfs said it is nice to finally get some sense of normalcy back in the community. “I think it’s going to be a really great year,” Juilfs said. “I think our community needs this. We’re ready.” The committee had to scrap plans last May and had to do so again in September. They tried to have some events in the fall but Covid mandates were still too strong. This time, it appears to be an all-go. “I think it had become a staple for families Memorial Day weekend,” Juilfs said. “Two years without Fiesta Days, I think it was missed. I think families will be ready to come back and have a great time together.” Fiesta Days 2022 will return the parade, carnival, lineup of live musical offerings and contests. There will be the traditional jalapeño eating contest, the Wiskerino, for those bearded chaps, vendors, Kid Zone and Carole Warren’s list of pageant activities. Kevin and Georgia Marino, owners of Wren’s Cafe in Vacaville, will also finally get their opportunity to serve as grand marshals of the parade after being selected in 2020. Fiesta Days will be held Thursday through Memorial Day. The kickoff barbecue is Monday. Tickets can be purchased for Fiesta Days at vacavillefiestadays.org, where the full schedule of events is regularly updated. Information on the pageants is available at solanocountypageants.org.

The future is bright for Solano County artists. McCormack Hall at the Solano County Fairgrounds was host Saturday to the best and brightest young artists as the Solano County Department of Education put together the event “Solano Art Showcase: Ignite” which displayed 400 pieces of art by students from 24 different schools and grades ranging from fourth to 12th. Other partners helping put together the presentation were Fighting Back Partnership, Solano Youth Resiliency Summit, Solano Friday Night Live Partner, Rio Vista ATOD Alliance, VibeSolano and Nature of Sound. Judges looked over

each and every one of the pieces, honoring awards to, among others, Armijo junior Jasmine Hernandez. She was at the front of the venue when immediately she noticed her oil painting, “Night Walk” had won Best in Show. “I was very surprised I won,” Hernandez said while looking at her award and art as her parents watched. “This took a lot of time, but I guess I just assumed somebody else would win.” Hernandez said her art teacher had assigned a few options to take on. She says she liked the one for “ Night Walk.” “I liked how it was colorful and how it has some people in it and I like the umbrella and bench,”

Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 9, 29, 22 and 16.

You have questions, and the people around you will have the obvious answers. Go wide. Throw the problem out to the universe at large. You’ll love the variety pack of possible solutions that comes back to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Your moral sense makes it painful for you to do anything but the right thing... so long as you know what that is. Today’s situation doesn’t make it obvious. If you decide not to decide yet, it’s a fine decision indeed. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Be a little selfish with your time now or you could be snagged

into a strange obligation. If you take on too much, or the wrong thing, you’ll become reacquainted with the amorphous weightiness known as dread. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Your brain is firing brilliantly. Ask yourself to solve a problem and you will. Aim your bold fantasies at the future; shoot your brilliant imaginings into the sky. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). No one is you. People fulfill similar roles and jobs and have other facts in common, but you’re the only one bringing it all together in your particular way, and that is your power. Lean into your uniqueness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To carry out the strategy best for your particular strengths, you will need to prepare differently from the way the others are. There’s no need to show anyone, though nosey competitors would love to know. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While the people around you may not get along with one another so well now, you’ll be on friendly terms with everyone. You’ve gotten this far by not taking sides, and you’ll do well to remain neutral.

by Phillip Alder East-West. North chose not to use Stayman because of his strong intermediates. He felt confident that there wouldn’t be an extra trick available in hearts even if they had a 4-4 fit. On some layouts, he would be wrong, but not using Stayman does have the advantage that it avoids giving the defenders more information about declarer’s hand. Looking only at the North-South cards, you can see 11 top tricks: three spades, three hearts, one diamond and four clubs. There are several chances for the 12th trick, and perhaps your first thought is to take a diamond finesse. Assuming it loses, you will try to drop the heart jack in three rounds, planning, if that fails, to take a second diamond finesse. To be sure, that’s a good line of play, but it isn’t the best available. There is a path that guarantees the contract anytime East has fewer than five clubs. South cashes his four club winners, discarding a diamond from the dummy. Then he leads a diamond to the 10. East wins with the queen, but what can he return? Whichever suit he selects, it concedes an extra trick in that suit and furnishes declarer with 12 winners. Always take a sure-trick line if one is available.

Many agencies offer state and federal grants that may offset a large portion or cover all of the cost toward purchasing new hearing aids and other hearing assistance devices. States have their own agencies that offer grants, so by taking a little time to do a search online, you will find it well worth the effort.

Lil Nas X to be honored at Songwriters gala Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — Though he went home empty-handed at this year’s Grammy Awards, Lil Nas X will be bestowed a prestigious honor next month by an elite group of music-makers. The 23-year-old hit-maker – already a two-time Grammy winner – will receive the Hal David Starlight Award at the 2022 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction gala, scheduled for June 16 at the Marriot Marquis in New York City. “Gifted young songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry via

their original songs” are presented the award, which was created in 2004 to celebrate the legacy of SHOF Chairman Hal David, the late pop music lyricist known for timeless, chart-topping collaborations with Burt Bacharach. While past recipients include Halsey, Ed Sheeran, Nick Jonas, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, John Mayer and Rob Thomas, only one other rapper has won the award: Drake in 2011. Songwriters Hall of Fame chair Nile Rodgers said that Lil Nas X “is someone we are very proud to award the Hal David Starlight Award to.”

CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

Will state voters give OK to sports betting?

t seemed possible earlier this year that California voters would face the bewildering civic task of choosing which of four competing measures to legalize sports wagering would prevail – if any. Now, however, it’s down to two and it could be just one by the time votes are cast in the November election – or maybe even none. About 30 states have some form of legal wagering on sports events, thanks to a 2018 Supreme Court decision overturning a federal ban on such bets. California, the biggest potential market, has lagged because of protracted wrangling over who could operate sports books. Indian tribes, which have a monopoly on casino gambling in California, longed to expand into sports Dan Walters wagering, but horse racing tracks and local cardrooms also wanted the action and so did the big online wagering corporations such as Fan Duel and Draft Kings. The issue knocked around the Legislature, without resolution, for several years as the competing interests jousted for position. Finally, a group of casino-owning tribes, led by Pechanga, qualified a ballot measure that would require sports bets to be placed personally inside casinos and at horse tracks. The measure also took a shot at the tribes’ old enemies, the cardrooms, by exposing them to some lawsuits. In response, a coalition of cardrooms, aided by local government officials, floated a competing measure that would give them a piece of the action, but it failed to garner enough signatures. The Fan Duel/Draft Kings faction then weighed in with a measure allowing online betting and that, in turn, sparked a second coalition of three tribes, called Californians for Tribal Sovereignty and Safe Gaming, to offer their own online wagering measure. Its sponsors feared that if voters were given only a choice between Pechanga’s in-casino betting measure and the online wagers offered by Fan Duel, Draft Kings, et al., they’d opt for the latter, preferring to use their computers and smartphones rather than drive to one of the tribal casinos, which are often in rural areas. However, a few days ago, tribal sponsors of the alternative online measure decided to forego the 2022 ballot, aim for 2024 and go all-out to defeat the Fan Duel/Draft Kings version. Online and television spots depicting the measure as a money grab by out-of-state interests are already running. So, it would seem, the stage is set for an all-out battle over the Fan Duel/Draft Kings online measure – but it’s not quite that simple. The Pechanga measure requiring in-person betting has enough signatures to make the ballot so its tribal backers must decide whether to proceed or drop it and join the other tribal group’s battle against the online corporate proposal. If the Pechanga measure remains on the ballot, it will also face a stiff opposition campaign by the cardrooms because of its gratuitous lawsuit provision. Finally, there is a chance – although probably not a very good one – that rather than spend several hundred million dollars fighting each other, the factions would do what they had been unable to do for years: compromise and withdraw everything from the ballot. For many years, once a measure qualified for the ballot, it would remain even if its sponsors changed their minds. But a recent change in state law allows qualified measures to be withdrawn, thus providing leverage to force legislative action. The provision has already been implemented once this year. A measure changing California’s limit on medical malpractice damages is being taken off the ballot because of a compromise that’s been given fast-track approval in the Legislature.

But I don’t think I changed one mind. I could have said Jan. 6 won’t be repeated. There will be no need. Nineteen swing states have passed voter restriction laws that will trim voter turnout just a bit. But swing states are swing states because they’re swung by very small vote margins. And 24 states have Republicans who had challenged the votes in their states who are now running for election for their secretaries of state, the officer who’s in charge of balloting and certification of ballots. Think about it. Or take Colorado, where county election official Tina Peters tampered with the voting machines. A judge removed her from office. Now she’s running for secretary of state and recently called for the sitting secretary to be lynched – to the approving roar of Republican rally attendees. Think about it. No, there won’t need to be a riot. Enough state-certified vote totals will not yield the “wrong” outcome. These are Republican actions. Nary a criticism from sensible, honest Republicans. This is what is so shocking. And too many nice, average Republicans don’t seem to understand the danger: single-party dictatorship. I’m really, really worried.

Admittedly, some states will prevent abortions, but the availability of abortions will be available in other states, if not the individual’s state. Yes, there could be a transportation cost, but may I suggest that birth-control pills are cheaper and less painful.

SOL ANO/STATE

DAILY REPUBLIC — Monday, May 23, 2022 A7

California about to begin nation's largest dam removal project. Here’s what it means for wildlife Tribune Content Agency REDDING — After decades of negotiation, the largest dam-removal project in U.S. history is expected to begin in California's far north next year. The first of four aging dams on the Klamath River, the 250-mile waterway that originates in southern Oregon's towering Cascades and empties along the rugged Northern California coast, is on track to come down in fall 2023. Two others nearby and one across the state line will follow. The nearly half-billion dollars needed for the joint state, tribal and corporate undertaking has been secured. The demolition plans are drafted. The contractor is in place. Final approval could come by December. Now, among the last acts of preparation, scientists are trying to make sure the fish and wildlife that are intended to benefit from the emergence of a newly wild river will thrive. While the decision to remove the hydroelectric dams was financial, it was urged —and enabled — by those hoping to see a revival of plants and animals in the Klamath Basin. The native flora and fauna in the region are bound to prosper as algaeinfested reservoirs at the dams are emptied, the flow of the river quickens and cools, and river passage swings wide open. "At its heart, this is really a fish-restoration project," said Mike Belchik, senior fisheries biologist for the Yurok Tribe, which has long lamented the decline of salmon on its ancestral territory in the basin. "That's why we're doing this." In one of the latest and most significant tests of how fish may fare, a team of scientists recently released thousands of juvenile salmon into the rivers and creeks upstream of the dams, areas where fish migrating up the Klamath haven't been able to go since the dams blocked access more than a century ago. The researchers are tracking these "experimental" salmon with the goal of learning whether more than 300 miles of waterways in the upper Klamath Basin are still navigable and fit for fish. As it stands now, fish swim upriver but are stopped at the dams, an impasse considered detrimental to their numbers. "The landscape is a lot different now than it was," said Mark Hereford, fish biologist at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, who is leading the study on fish passage in the Klamath Falls area of Oregon. "There are uncertainties we have

Pam and Steve Conner didn’t know anyone who participated in the event, but still came from Vacaville to see the talent displayed at the

about how the fish will do as they migrate through the system." The concerns run the gamut. Urban development has crowded out wetlands. Recently established invasive fish could prey on natives. Communities may be drawing too much water from rivers and creeks. At stake is nothing less than the future of the cherished chinook salmon run. The fish once numbered in the hundreds of thousands in the Klamath River, making its migration the third largest salmon run on the West Coast. Only populations in the Columbia and Sacramento rivers were bigger. Today, the celebrated fall run of chinook is a fraction of what it was, less than 10% by some estimates, contributing to the sharp contraction of commercial salmon fishing on the California coast. On at least one occasion, the Yurok Tribe even stopped serving local salmon at its annual Klamath Salmon Festival. The test fish being released by Hereford and his team will not just help preview the fate of chinook and whether the new terrain can help the salmon rebound. It will also provide a glimpse of what's in store for other struggling fish that have historically migrated from the ocean to the upper Klamath Basin. These include coho salmon, steelhead trout and Pacific lamprey. "There's a lot of habitat up here. There's enough habitat to support a lot of fish," Hereford said. "The results of this project are going to be exciting." n n n From the window of a Cessna 210 on a recent afternoon, the stunted flow of the once steadilymoving Klamath was visible below. On the California portion of river, one dam after another brought water to a virtual standstill. The smallest of the three California dams and the first scheduled for removal, 33-foot-tall Copco No. 2, diverts water to a powerhouse to generate electricity. The other two, 173-foot Iron Gate Dam and 126-foot Copco No. 1, produce power as well as hold back large reservoirs that pool water amid sprawling hills just south of the state line. A fourth dam slated for elimination, J.C. Boyle, is in Oregon, about 12 miles north of the border. Two other dams above J.C. Boyle, considered less harmful to wildlife, will remain. "This is the end of the road for any migrating fish," said Mark Bransom, chief executive officer at the Klamath River Renewal Corporation,

the nonprofit cooperative created to manage the dam removal, as he looked down at the dams from the small plane. Bransom helped organize this week's flight with the aim of getting a final aerial view of the hydroelectric facilities before their demolition. The tour started in Redding, about 100 miles south of the first dam, Iron Gate, and was provided by EcoFlight, an environmental group that seeks to raise awareness of threatened lands and waters. The plan to raze the dams is the product of at least 20 years of debate over what to do with the river's old and increasingly problematic infrastructure. Owned by power company PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, the dams have long needed major upgrades, including fish ladders, which are believed to cost more than the dams' worth as hydroelectric assets. In 2020, a one-of-a-kind deal was struck. PacifiCorp agreed to transfer license of the four dams to the states of California and Oregon and the Klamath River Renewal Corporation. Under the agreement, also signed by the Yurok and Karuk tribes, PacificCorp committed $200 million to dam removal and would essentially walk away from the facilities and any potential liability. The rest of the funding for the dismantling effort is coming from voterapproved water bonds in California. While the four dams no longer generate significant power, according to PacifiCorp, some residents along the California- Oregon border have opposed the demolition because of a

fairgrounds. “I’m impressed with not only the art, but the age of the kids that are doing it,” Pam Conner said. “There are so many styles here. Some are a little dark, but you look at them and you can tell that the artist was trying to convey a message.” Pam said that she noticed the event on Facebook and was glad to pay this event a visit. “We’ve noticed that art is coming back into the classrooms more and I believe that’s a very good thing because it used to be a choice – this or P.E.,” Pam Conner said. “We still need music, art, etc in this world. For kids, that’s often how they express themselves

and tell us what they are all about.” The art was divided into five divisions, with Division I being fourth, fifth and sixth grades, Division 2 being seventh and eighth grades, Division III being freshman and sophomore in high school and Division 4 being juniors and seniors in high school. It was a special separate category not yet classified, Division 5, that had a piece of art that was the favorite of Ken Scarberry, the Solano Office of Education Director of Youth Development. The two pieces of art Scarberry liked were both by Mariani Ramos, a sixth-grader who drew “Portrait of Mom” and “Untitled.”

Klamath river California. reluctance to surrender any power source, the pending loss of waterfront property on the reservoirs and less water available for fighting wildfires. The dams are not used for irrigation, municipal water or flood control. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which has final say over the dam removal, released a draft environmental impact statement in February, suggesting that the benefits of the venture outweigh the concerns. An updated environmental assessment from the federal agency is expected in September, with a decision on whether the dismantling can proceed coming shortly thereafter.

"We're at a point right now where we've never had so much momentum and sense of inevitability that the project will move ahead," Bransom said. Sitting next to Bransom on the plane was Daniel Chase, senior fisheries biologist with the Texasbased ecological restoration company Res, which has been contracted to help return the river to its natural state. The company is planning to re-vegetate 2,200 acres of land that will resurface once the dams are torn down and the reservoirs are drained. "Basically we'll be taking big bathtubs and turning them into productive upland habitat," Chase said. Chase and his colleagues have collected 11 billion seeds for planting, many of them germinating at nurseries in the region. They intend to collect 6 billion more. The seeds represent 97 species of native trees, brush and grasses that are designed to help take the landscape back to what it was more than a century ago. n n n The test run of chinook salmon above the dams, near Klamath Falls, has already begun to yield some insight into how fish will do when the dams come down. Hereford and his team released 3,500 juvenile salmon in both the Wood and Williamson rivers, which flow to Upper Klamath Lake, where the Klamath River begins. Before construction of the

dams, chinook and other ocean-going fish came to the upper basin to lay their eggs while their young rested in these waters until making the long journey to sea. By monitoring tags on the test fish, the scientists have learned that the juveniles in both the Wood and Williamson had little problem swimming the 15 or so miles to Upper Klamath Lake. Now, the researchers are tracking the salmon across the 25-milelong lake, hoping they'll reach the Klamath River before the water becomes too shallow and warm for the fish come summer. "They're moving a lot faster than I thought they would," Hereford said. A second, smaller test run of juvenile chinook is being conducted on the Klamath River south of the lake. While Hereford is so far impressed by the movement of fish, he and his colleagues will work to address any bottlenecks that emerge. Potential remedies for problems with fish passage range from enhancing waterways with gravel beds and native vegetation to trying to boost water levels or reduce sediment loads where flows are low. The new terrain that will come with dam removal is expected to not only boost fish numbers but increase biodiversity. This can harden the fish to the challenges of drought, warming water temperatures and other hardships likely to come with the changing climate.

Zelensky says war will Ukraine end in diplomacy; West discusses atrocities in Hague From Page One

The Washington Post Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the only way out of the war will be through diplomacy - in addition to a Kyiv win on the battlefield - as his chief negotiator ruled out the possibility of a ceasefire that would give Russia control of any captured Ukrainian territory. “Victory will be bloody,” Zelensky said on Ukrainian television, and “the end will certainly be in diplomacy.” Zelensky said the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine is facing an “extremely difficult” situation as Russian forces concentrate on the east after Kyiv gave up its defense of Mariupol and Moscow claimed total control of the port city. Russia is likely to have deployed its only operational company of BMP-T “Terminator” tank support vehicles to Severodonetsk, a key focus for its operations in Donbas, Britain’s Defense Ministry said. Severodonetsk is the easternmost city still in Ukrainian hands. A delegation of U.S. diplomats is set to travel to The Hague on Sunday for talks with allies “regarding our responses to atrocities committed in Ukraine” and in other conflicts, and on efforts to “bring the perpetrators of atrocities to justice,” the State Department said in a news release. Ukrainian authorities have put three captured Russian soldiers on trial for war crimes, and the Biden administration is supporting steps by the Ukrainian prosecutor general to investigate Russia’s actions in the war. Polish President Andrzej Duda, in the first in-person address by a foreign leader to Kyiv’s parliament since the war began, stressed Ukraine’s right to determine its own future. President Joe Biden signed a $40 billion package of new military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine on Saturday while visiting South Korea, amid signs that the United States and its allies are preparing for a drawn-out conflict. Zelensky called the aid package “a historic contribution to the protection of freedom in Europe.” The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, starts Sunday, with the theme “History at a Turning Point.” Zelensky will address the conference virtually this week. Zelensky says an international agreement with security guarantees from countries other than Russia will be needed after fighting ends. But, he told Ukrainian television in an interview broadcast Saturday, everything depends on the circumstances that end a “hybrid war” and lead to a “hybrid peace.” Zelensky did not rule out talking to Russian President Vladimir Putin, but he said the form of such talks would be determined by events. “I think that a discussion between Ukraine and Russia will definitely

happen. But we don’t know in what format,” he said. Any security guarantees for a future peace must be based in reality and not on a piece of paper, he added. Citing the fate of the Ukrainian fighters besieged for weeks by Russian forces at the Azovstal steel complex in Mariupol, Zelensky noted: “I said during the bombardment that if they destroy the people in Azovstal, there will never be any discussions with Russia. Today we saw that they found a way to let these people live.” “Time changes things,” he said. “There are various situations. It all depends on the time.” Ukraine is planning to grant more rights to Polish citizens in the country in response to a similar decision from Warsaw, Zelensky said Sunday. Speaking at the Ukrainian parliament during a visit by his Polish counterpart, he thanked Poland for a recently adopted law on assistance to Ukrainian citizens. “This is an unprecedented decision, according to which our citizens, who have been forced to flee to Poland due to the Russian aggression, will be granted almost the same rights and opportunities as Polish citizens. Legal residence, employment, education, health care and social benefits,” Zelensky said, according to a text of the speech posted by an official from the presidential office. The president said that he planned to submit a “mirror” bill offering the same rights to Polish citizens in Ukraine “in the near future.” Duda, in his address to the Ukrainian parliament, said his country would do “everything it can to help Ukraine become a member of the European Union.” Poland has received almost 3.5 million refugees from neighboring Ukraine since Russian forces invaded on Feb. 24. Zelensky said increased military aid to Ukraine would help the country reopen its ports and ease pressure on worldwide food prices. Ukraine closed the ports in late February, and Russian warships and floating mines have prevented them from reopening. The closures have halted the export of grain and other agricultural products. Zelensky said in a news conference Saturday that 22 million metric tons of food intended for export are stuck in the country. “There will be a crisis in the world. The second crisis after the energy one, which was provoked by Russia. Now it will create a food crisis if we do not unblock the routes for Ukraine, do not help countries in Africa, Europe, Asia, which need these food products,” he said. “You can unblock them in different ways. One of the ways is a military solution. So we turn to our partners with inquiries about the relevant weapons.”

icantly,” which he called a positive development, considering Moscow’s vast military capabilities. “Actually, the fact that we are able to say this on the 87th day of a fullscale war against Russia is good news,” Zelenskyy said. “Russia has sent virtually all its resources to destroy us.” The president’s comments dramatize the unremitting nature of a conflict that began Feb. 24, when Russian troops invaded Ukrainian territory on various fronts. But the Russian expectation of a quick victory evaporated as Ukrainian forces put up stiff resistance, forcing Moscow to abandon its plan to seize the capital, Kyiv. Russian forces eventually retreated from Kyiv in early April and redirected efforts toward southern Ukraine and the Donbas, Ukraine’s coalproducing, traditional industrial heartland. The Donbas is composed of the provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk. Since 2014, pro-Russia separatists have controlled large swaths of the Donbas region. Moscow’s forces are seeking to expand control to the entire Donbas. In its morning report Sunday, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said that Russian troops “continue to advance in the east” while the forces of Belarus – a close Russian ally that borders Ukraine – “are conducting intensified reconnaissance on the border with Ukraine.” Ukrainian forces repelled nine enemy attacks during the previous 24 hours in the Donbas, the military reported. On Saturday, Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai said that Russian troops were throwing “all their forces

The aim was to cut off the main supply route to the key city, he said. “The Russians are destroying Severodonetsk . . . The enemy’s plans are to surround the area or turn it into a fire,” Haidai said in a statement on Telegram. A Russian breakthrough in Luhansk would enable an attack on nearby Donetsk and Kharkiv provinces, he added. Later Saturday, Haidai said the Russians had destroyed a bridge between Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, its twin city across the Seversky Donets River. The bridge’s destruction will complicate efforts to bring reinforcements to Severodonetsk, he said. Russia is continuing to press its offensive in the east after claiming its biggest victory in its almost-three-month assault: the full capture of the sprawling Azovstal steelworks plant in the coastal city of Mariupol. The facility’s labyrinthine network of pipes and tunnels became the site of Ukraine’s last stand in Mariupol. The battle for Mariupol came to dramatize the violence and intensity

of the Ukrainian conflict. Much of Mariupol is in ruins and Ukrainian authorities say only about 100,000 of a pre-war population of more than 400,000 remain. Russia said it captured 2,439 Ukrainian troops when it took the metalworks plants. The fate of the captured fighters is unclear. Although Kyiv said it would bring back its troops via prisoner exchanges, the Kremlin has yet to comment on their fate. In recent days, Russian lawmakers have called for prison terms and even capital punishment for members of the Azov regiment, a far-right Ukrainian military unit with neoNazi roots whose fighters emerged as the Azovstal plant’s most stubborn defenders. The history of the group has been seized on by the Kremlin to claim it is fighting “Nazis” in Ukraine, an assertion dismissed as ridiculous by the Ukrainian government. Mariupol has been a target of Russia’s invasion virtually from the start of the war. As much of the city fell into Russian hands, an assortment of Ukrainian troops and civilians bunkered in the massive plant even as

their adversaries maintained a relentless siege, along with continuous bombardment. Women, children and elderly people were first bused out before Ukrainian authorities ordered the remaining troops to surrender. The full death toll of civilians in the Mariupol siege is still unknown, but Ukraine says it could be many thousands. Earlier, Denis Pushilin, self-proclaimed leader of the separatist Donetsk People’s Republic, said the Azovstal plant would be demolished and replaced with a park, a residence or what he called a techno park. For Russia, the capture of Mariupol offers the prospect of a land bridge between pro-Russia territory in the Donbas and the Crimea, which was seized by Russia in 2014. The seizure of Mariupol is a major victory for Russian President Vladimir Putin. But Russia seems intent on pushing for further territorial gains in the Donbas, which could signal a prolonged land battle involving tanks, artillery, aircraft and ground forces in the broad eastern stretches of Ukraine.

vices reports. Solano County sheriff’s deputies within 30 minutes of the fire’s start had been called to help with evacuations, the Sheriff’s Office reports. No injuries had been reported, and no structures were lost. Officials had early in the fire said that there was an “Immediate threat to life.” Cal Fire spokesman Tyree Zander said weather conditions were favorable compared to the past several days when strong winds buffeted the region – dangerous conditions for fire. Aircraft dropped retardant on the fire Saturday. Zander said smoke from the fire appeared to have dissipated, suggesting the fire’s forward progress may have been slowed. A dry lightning storm set fires in August 2020 across Northern California from the Mendocino National Forest to the Santa Cruz Mountains. The largest was the Hennessey Fire in Napa County, which combined with several smaller fires

and burned around Lake Berryessa. The fire’s burn zone spanned from the Cache Creek Wilderness along the Yolo-Lake county line to the outskirts of Vacaville and Fairfield. Hundreds of homes were destroyed as what’s now known as the LNU Lightning Complex Fire that burned into Solano County late Aug. 18, 2020, raced toward Vacaville in the early hours of Aug. 19. Six people died as a result of the fire, the Cal Fire reports. Five people were injured, including one first responder. A total of 309 single-family homes were destroyed by the fire in rural Solano County. A total of 1,491 structures were destroyed across the larger fire complex. Hennessey, eight fires that sparked in Napa County and quickly merged into one megafire, burned into Solano County and also across portions of Yolo, Lake and Colusa counties, charring nearly 477.58 square miles (305,651 acres) – 65.625 square miles

(42,000 acres) in Solano County. The larger fire complex includes two smaller fires in Sonoma County and charred more than 567.53 square miles (363,220 acres). The overarching complex fire burned until Oct. 2, 2020. It was at the time the fifthlargest fire in the state’s modern history, dating back to 1932. It now ranks sixth. It’s the 11th mostdestructive fire of the modern era and is tied for 11th as the state’s most-deadly fire both at the time and today, Cal Fire reports. Hennessey by itself would have ranked seventh at the time on the list of the state’s largest fires. It would now rank eighth. The Quail Fire was burning in or near the Hennessey Fire’s footprint. The region is among many in California prone to wildfires. Lauren Hernández of the San Francisco Chronicle contributed to this report.

Giants’ blowout loss, series sweep to Padres validates concerns Tribune Content Agency The first-place Dodgers have former MVP winners Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman anchoring the most feared lineup in the majors. The secondplace Padres, hot on their tails, are riding five-time All-Star and early MVP front-runner Manny Machado to an impressive start. As for the third-place Giants? Well, their lack of star power and mount-

ing injury concerns were on full display at Oracle Park this weekend as they capped off an embarrassing sweep against the Padres with a 10-1 defeat. The blowout loss dropped San Francisco 5.5 games behind Los Angeles in the National League West with nearly a quarter of the season now complete. The Giants sat 4.5 games back in the division in April of last season and were still two games back

of the Dodgers following a sweep on May 23 of last season, but Buster Posey isn’t walking through those clubhouse doors again. Immediate help isn’t on the way either, as two of the team’s top lefthanded sluggers, Brandon Belt and LaMonte Wade Jr., landed on the injured list over the weekend with knee inflammation. Shortly after manager Gabe Kapler said Sunday that Wade would likely miss

a few weeks with a bone bruise, the Giants placed Belt on the 10-day injured list retroactive to May 19. A Giants team that lost four in a row just once last season has now done so twice this month. “We just didn’t swing the bats well enough, play good enough defense, make enough pitches to be the better team in this series,” Kapler said. “They were clearly the better team in this series and we have to improve.” For the second straight

week, a blowout Sunday loss compelled Kapler to use one of the team’s most consistent left-handed hitters, rookie Luis González, on the mound as he covered the eighth and ninth innings inning to save a bullpen that had already given up five runs. Starter Alex Wood, who gained a reputation as a “stopper” for his strong performances following losses a season ago, lasted just three innings against San Diego as the Padres pounded him

for eight hits and five runs. It may not have mattered if Wood turned in his best outing of the year as the Giants’ lineup hardly offered support against Padres rookie MacKenzie Gore. “I think (the Padres) playing up to their potential so far this year,” Wood said. “So it’ll be another good test for us the rest of the way and should make things interesting the rest of the year.” A day after veteran See Giants, Page B8

Patrick Sandoval (43) of the Los Angeles Angels throws against the Oakland Athletics in Anaheim, Sunday.

Sandoval sharp again in Angels victory over A’s Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — Patrick Sandoval wasn’t quite as dominant Sunday as he was last July 24 in Minnesota, when the Angels lefthander came within two outs of a no-hitter and struck out a career-high 13. He was in command throughout a superb 7 1/3-inning start, giving up one run and four hits, striking out seven and walking one in a 4-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics before 40,042 at Angel Stadium. Mike Trout reached base in four of five plate appearances with a

double, an RBI single, a walk and a home run, and Shohei Ohtani hit a home run and a single to pace the Angels’ offense. Sandoval needed only 82 pitches to complete seven scoreless innings in which he gave up two singles and did not allow a runner to reach second base, and he seemed poised to throw his first complete game or shutout. Then in the eighth inning, Tyler Wade, a middle infielder who started in right field in place of the injured Taylor Ward, lost Kevin Smith’s fly ball to medium right in the sun, the ball dropping for a

leadoff double. Smith took third on Elvis Andrus’ grounder to first and scored on Cristian Pache’s soft single to center to cut the Angels’ lead to 4-1. Luis Barrera walked to put two on and bring the tying run to the plate. Angels manager Joe Maddon pulled Sandoval in favor of right-hander Ryan Tepera, who struck out Sheldon Neuse with a 92-mph sinker and pinchhitter Seth Brown with a 93-mph sinker to preserve the three-run lead. Closer Raisel Iglesias struck out the side in the ninth for his 11th save. Sandoval retired 10 consecutive batters

to open the game, two by strikeout, before Chad Pinder reached on second baseman Luis Rengifo’s fielding error with one out in the fourth. The pitcher responded by striking out Jed Lowrie with an 83-mph changeup and Sean Murphy with an 86-mph slider. Sandoval whiffed Christian Bethancourt with an 83-mph changeup to open the fifth, but Smith broke up the no-hit bid when he lined an 85-mph changeup that was just off the outside corner to center for a single. Rengifo then fielded Andrus’ sharp grounder See A’s, Page B8

Giants place Belt on injured list, recall infielder Tribune Content Agency After the Giants placed LaMonte Wade Jr. on the injured list with left knee inflammation on Friday, another key left-handed hitter is also set to miss time. Minutes after the first pitch of the Giants’ series finale against the Padres was thrown on Sunday, the club announced that first baseman Brandon Belt has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right knee inflammation. The team recalled right-handed hitting infielder Kevin Padlo from Triple-A Sacramento to take Belt’s spot on the 26-man roster. Belt was scratched from the team’s lineup on Saturday against the Padres with knee soreness, but because he hasn’t appeared in the series, Belt’s injured list placement is retroactive to May 19. The Giants haven’t announced a timetable for Belt’s return, but he’s eligible to come off the injured list as soon

Ray Chavez/Bay Area News Group

San Francisco Giants’ Brandon Belt (9) leaves the game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Saturday, May 7. as Sunday, May 29 when San Francisco finishes a three-game set in Cincinnati against the Reds. Wade, meanwhile, has a bone bruise in his knee that’s expected to keep him out of the lineup for at least a few weeks. Belt’s injury robs the Giants of a second key left-handed power

threat as he and Wade combined to hit 47 home runs last year. When Belt dealt with various injuries in 2021, Wade was often manager Gabe Kapler’s top choice to fill in at first base. Right-handed hitting infielder Wilmer Flores started at first base Sunday against San Diego and the Giants may have to move forward without a solid left-handed hitting platoon option at the position until either Belt or Wade is cleared to return. Darin Ruf has also started at first base recently and Padlo, who was acquired in a trade with the Mariners in April, has experience playing first base in the minors. Padlo has eight home runs and an .844 OPS in 107 Triple-A at-bats this season. It’s unclear whether the Giants would consider using Tommy La Stella at first base, but La Stella has 12 career appearances at the position.

Another game, another knock on the Mavericks’ bench “decorum.” The NBA on Sunday fined the Mavericks $100,000 for several players and a member of the coaching staff standing away from the bench and encroaching upon the playing court during their Game 2 loss to the Golden State Warriors. Sound familiar? It’s the third time the Mavericks have been fined for violating the league’s rules regarding “team bench decorum.” First: $25,000 after Game 2 against the Phoenix Suns in the second round. Coach Jason Kidd said then “the league is worried about the wrong thing” in punishing a team for cheering on its players. Owner Mark Cuban posted a link to an explicit video to Twitter, insinuating the Mavericks wouldn’t stop the

rowdy support that their reserves – and Cuban himself – have made a hallmark of their chemistry all season. So came a $50,000 fine after Dallas’ Game 7 victory against the Suns about a week later. “Who complained?” Kidd quipped in reaction. “It was a blowout, so I don’t think the fans would complain. I thought the guys did what they were supposed to do. They were cheering on their guys. So we’ll find out what the fine is, but it is what it is.” One notable instance that might’ve prompted the Mavericks’ third fine?

Justin Thomas wins the PGA in a playoff after Mito Pereira’s nightmare at 18 The Washington Post TULSA, Okla. — It seemed clear by midafternoon Sunday that the 104th PGA Championship would go to one of four young guys you probably wouldn’t recognize if they showed up at your front door, trying to sell you a vacuum cleaner. How odd, then, that the gap between those four and the rest would erode when the familiar face of Justin Thomas came galloping out of the leader board yonder. How odd that Thomas, a player many golf intellectuals thought would win here, would win here in a three-hole playoff over Will Zalatoris long after those same geeks must have concluded he wouldn’t, long after an early-round deficit of a hopeless eight shots. And how oddest that, along the way, one of those four little-known youths, Mito Pereira of Chile, would stagger from a three-shot lead into both a creek and the haunted halls of golf lore.

At some points, Thomas must have assumed he wasn’t winning. “For sure,” he said. How odd. “I wasn’t looking at leader boards today,” he said. “I was just trying to play golf.” No wonder that when he plunked in his clinching 14-inch par putt at No. 18 in the playoff, he sort of laughed. When the geeks sit around years from now and yak about a daydream Sunday with soft clouds yielding to sunshine at Southern Hills, they might not remember how Thomas played the last 12 holes of Round 4 in 4 under par – four birdies, eight pars – to reach 5 under and the cusp of the lead, how his 67 made him the lone player in the last seven groups to break par. They might not remember how the face of the 29-yearold took on a look of charismatic certainty as he began the flawless playoff of birdie-birdieSee PGA, Page B8

How Joyce Chen changed our perceptions of Chinese food Monica Eng

SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON POST

In 1966, Boston’s public television station produced two groundbreaking TV shows in the same studio. One was Julia Child’s “The French Chef.” The other was “Cooking with Joyce Chen.” A half-century later, almost 20 years after her death, Child still looms larger than life in American culture - she’s even the subject of a new HBO series - while Chen, who died in 1994, has largely faded into the mist of Chinese American history. In fact, many outside the Boston area - this writer included - had never even heard of the Chinese American cookbook author, restaurateur and entrepreneur until 2014, when she landed on a series of U.S. postage stamps celebrating American culinary figures that also included James Beard, Edna Lewis and Child. This month, GBH (formerly WGBH) is hoping to change that by highlighting its recent release of a little-known documentary Chen produced for the station chronicling her family’s trip back to China shortly after President Richard Nixon opened diplomatic relations with the communist nation in 1972. “Joyce Chen’s China” is streaming on the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, which also hosts 11 episodes of her blackand-white cooking show. The fascinating documentary, largely shot by her teenage son, blends equal parts travel log, home movie, state propaganda, Sunday morning political talk show and cooking program. The fact that Chen was able to essentially smuggle a film crew into 1972 China is a testament to her chutzpah and pioneering foresight. “My mother had this philosophy,” her son Stephen Chen recalled in a phone interview from his home in Massachusetts, “’If you see a door, don’t ask if you can go through it. Just open the door.’” That kind of initiative led the single mom to open multiple Boston-area restaurants, patent an Americanized wok, self-publish a popular cookbook and star in a nationally broadcast TV cooking show at a time when America was much less accepting of independent women, Chinese immigrants and international foods than it is today. Even if Chen’s cooking show didn’t take off like “The French Chef,” her legacy is deeper than her name recognition may convey. And her hard work paved the way for many Asian American chefs. “I have always admired Joyce Chen not only for her cooking, but her business acumen as well,” Ming Tsai, a fellow New Englander, TV chef, entrepreneur and restaurateur, said in an email. “I would see her line of woks and stuff, and that would inspire me to one day have my own line. Xie xie [Thank you] Chef Chen for leading the way!” n n n Born in Beijing in 1917 and raised just outside of Shanghai, Chen learned cooking by watching the family’s chef, according to Stephen. As the Communist regime was taking over China in 1949, she fled with her husband, Thomas, and eldest children, Henry and Helen. They landed in Cambridge, Mass., just outside Boston, “because my mom’s friends in China who went to Harvard and MIT said if you go to America, you have to live in Cambridge,” Stephen recalled. In 1955, according to family lore, Chen got her first taste of culinary success when she made egg rolls for her children’s school fair and dropped them off at the goodie table. When she returned soon after, they had disappeared. “Her first thought was that they must have been too horrible for the others to eat and they had to hide them under the table,”

Chen harvesting radishes with children in 1971 in Beijing. recalled her daughter, Helen, in a Zoom call from her home in Massachusetts. “But then the truth came out that they sold out like hot cakes and they asked my mother if she would make more.” Her kids, now in their 70s, admit those egg rolls - with their thick skins, cabbage and pork - were nothing like the delicate spring rolls that Chinese eat during the spring festival. But they served as a symbol of Chen’s willingness to meet American taste buds where they were and coax them along. In fact, in her 1962 “Joyce Chen Cook Book,” the author starts her egg roll recipe with “1/2 lb of Good Hamburger.” This drive to make Chinese food and culture more accessible to average Americans would last throughout her career. She coined the term “Peking ravioli” to introduce New Englanders to northern style pot stickers and boiled Chinese dumplings. She also designed and patented a flat-bottomed wok that worked on American stoves with their lower heat levels. She numbered all the items on her menu and introduced Chinese buffets to New England so diners could easily sample new, non-Cantonese dishes that reflected the cuisine of her native regions. Shortly after her egg roll success, Chen started teaching cooking classes to home cooks, which eventually led her to open Joyce Chen Restaurant in Cambridge in 1958. Along with the expected chop suey, she served soup dumplings, moo shoo pork and Peking duck with pancakes. In 1962, she self-published her cookbook. “Publishers told her that no one wanted to see color pictures of food,” Stephen remembers with a laugh, adding that after the book’s initial success J.B. Lippincott Co. picked up the title and reprinted it many times. n n n In 1966, after Chen divorced her husband, she got an intriguing offer. “A lot of the people from WGBH ate at our restaurant,” Stephen recalled. “And they were working on a show with Julia Child, and they asked my mom if she would consider doing a show, too.” Stephen says his mom threw herself into the project, preparing TV-friendly recipes, taking lessons from a voice coach and rehearsing like crazy. “They would have to plan out exactly when the water was going to boil because back then you couldn’t edit it that easily,” he said. “So you had to do long sections just straight.” Chen cranked out 26 halfhour episodes, showing viewers how to grow and cook bean

sprouts, prepare Peking duck and egg foo young, and make boiled dumplings and pot stickers from scratch. But she also taught such basics as using chopsticks, making good tea and preparing the perfect pot of rice. Chen filmed on the same set as “The French Chef” but with Asian touches, including screens and wind chimes. Her recipes delivered close approximations of Chinese food that American housewives could make using mostly ingredients they could find at the grocery store. But there was an issue. “One of the criticisms was that her Chinese accent was too strong,” Stephen said. “Some people just couldn’t understand

n n n Despite the cancellation of her cooking show, Chen found an ingenious way to return to public television. The rare opportunity emerged when Nixon unexpectedly opened up U.S.-China relations. Even after his historic trip, most Americans could not secure a visa to China. But Chen had a plan. “She took me up to the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa,” Stephen recalled. “And she explained what we wanted to do and who we wanted to visit. And two weeks after we got back to Boston, they called to say, ‘Yes, you have permission to go to China.’” Chen had secured visas for Helen, Stephen and herself,

Chen’s first restaurant in Cambridge, Mass., in 1958. what she was saying.” The producers came up with a workaround, where she would spell out words that were hard to pronounce. Still, her popularity didn’t balloon like Child’s. It wasn’t for any lack of talent, “but it was just the time and age, and people were not ready yet,” Stephen said. So when the station was renewing its cooking shows in 1967 and launching into the wonderful but expensive world of color TV, the executives chose “The French Chef” and not “Joyce Chen Cooks.” New York University cinema studies professor Dana Polan noted their very different TV personas. On one hand you had “Julia Child, who is wacky, eccentric, boisterous and larger than life, both metaphorically and literally,” he said in an interview. “And it was just like good television.” “In contrast, Chen is much more pragmatic, like, let’s get down to business. She’s not fun in the same way.” Chen did joke and smile on her show, but she lacked Child’s charming nuttiness and certainly the hyperactive style of the first breakthrough Chinese TV chef, Martin Yan.

then reached out to WGBH, whose producers agreed to give Stephen a crash course in cinematography. “She paid for all the equipment and film because they had no idea what we would bring back,” said Stephen, who was 19 at the time. It paid off. They came back with 16-millimeter footage of train travel, Chinese streets, family life and celebrations. Ironically, the footage didn’t include much food. Executive producer Fred Barzyk had the job of pulling the footage together and blending the homecoming aspects with balanced political analysis. He said he was intrigued by Chen’s ability “to kind of surreptitiously sneak in under the guise of a family visit because nobody was really quite sure how open China was going to be.” Most of the film takes viewers across the country to visit factories, busy cities, farms, parades and the family village. But it finishes on a WGBH studio set with Chen serving dinner to two special guests: Harvard economics professor John Kenneth Galbraith and Newsweek foreign editor Edward Klein.

The scene feels a bit like “Good Morning America” and “Meet the Press” over dinner, with Klein asking the family if they suspect the Chinese government harbors a secret class of high-ranking bureaucrats who live better than anyone else. More fish, anyone? n n n After her time on TV, Chen poured herself into her restaurants (she would eventually open four), her children, her cookware and food line. You can still buy her sauces, dumplings and cookware online or in regional markets. Through the 1970s, she was a constant presence in her restaurants, the final being a modernist shrine to Chinese cooking on Cambridge’s Rindge Avenue, where her guests included Henry Kissinger, Danny Kaye, Shirley Temple and, of course, Julia Child. Barzyk recalled attending an early ‘70s dinner where Chen presented slides from her China trip and introduced guests to a new chef who specialized in hand-pulled Chinese noodles. “I ended up sitting next to Julia Child,” he said, “and when the noodle master came out she jumped up on her chair to get a better look. I had to hold on to her [by the waist] so she wouldn’t fall.” In the early 1980s, Chen was carrying a jug of sauce down the stairs, and it broke and cut her hand, severing a nerve. She needed microsurgery, Stephen said, and after being under general anesthesia, she started to have memory difficulties. “She felt it started with that surgery on her hand,” he said. By the mid-’80s Chen started to withdraw from public appearances as she dealt with the onset of dementia. The last Joyce Chen Restaurant closed in 1998, four years after she died, but her legacy carries on in her food and cookware line and even a children’s book, 2017’s “Dumpling Dreams.” Helen manages the cookware line while Stephen manages the sauces, dumplings and archives of this fearless mid-century translator of Chinese culture. “My mother was a pioneer when it came to just about everything, and she had this probing mind,” Helen said. “It wasn’t just the restaurant, the TV show, the cookware or the food products. It morphed into all kinds of aspects of Chinese food and culture. At that time people thought of Chinese food as chow mein and chop suey because they couldn’t travel, and she opened up a whole new world.”

FAIRFIELD — Coming to the big screen this weekend is “Top Gun: Maverick.” It has been 30 years since Tom Cruise fans were introduced to the character of Maverick in this high-flying military film. Maverick remained in the Navy as a test pilot but has avoided working his way up the ranks. He finds himself in charge of teaching the next generation of Top Gun graduates for a dangerous mission. Also in theaters locally is “Bob’s Burgers: The Movie.” The cartoon is the story of how Bob and Linda Betcher try to save the restaurant after a pipe breaks. The kids find a mystery that needs solving, which could help save their parents from financial ruin. Opening nationwide are: “Top Gun: Maverick,” in which Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, still pushing the envelope after 30 years in the Navy as test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a one-of-akind mission, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.” Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it. The film is rated PG-13. “Bob’s Burgers: The Movie,” in which the much-beloved cartoon comes to the big screen with even bigger troubles. The story begins when a ruptured water main creates an enormous sinkhole right in front of Bob’s Burgers, blocking the entrance indefinitely and ruining the Belchers’ plans for a successful summer. Parents Bob and Linda struggle to keep the business afloat as the kids try to solve a mystery that could save their family’s restaurant. As the

dangers mount, these underdogs help each other find hope and fight to get back behind the counter, where they belong. The film is rated PG-13. Opening in limited release are: “Rite of The Shaman,” in which Kai (Janice Spencer-Wise) struggles with taking care of his sick mother and dealing with high school pressures.

How ‘Under the Banner of Heaven’ got Mormon history right. Down to the ‘bullet holes’ Los Angeles Times “Under the Banner of Heaven” is more than just a true crime detective story. It’s also a period piece tracing the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the journey of its founding prophet, Joseph Smith. As Detective Jeb Pyre (Andrew Garfield) investigates the brutal 1984 killings of Brenda Lafferty (Daisy EdgarJones) and her infant daughter, “One Mighty and Strong,” the series’ fifth episode, flashes back to a defining moment for Latter-day Saints: the murder of Smith and his brother, Hyrum, in Carthage, Illinois, in 1844. Smith and a growing legion of followers had pushed across the country, eventually settling in Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1839 after fleeing Ohio and a violent expulsion from Missouri. But in Illinois, Smith was arrested for inciting a riot after he endorsed the destruction of the printing presses belonging to a dissident newspaper that had criticized Smith for plural marriage and other controversial doctrines. Smith and his brother had been taken into custody at the Carthage Jail to await trial when they were attacked by a frenzied mob. Hyrum was killed as he tried to block the door; Joseph was then shot multiple times before he plummeted out the window. “This is a story that every young Mormon learns,” said series creator and showrunner Dustin Lance Black, who was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The familiarity of this saga in church history made re-creating it in 21st-century Canada especially daunting. “The challenges with the historical work were threefold,”

Daily Cryptoquotes

Here’s how to work it:

said production designer Renee Read. “Weather was not our friend. We had a lengthy timeline, and [the series’ historical action] span[s] a lot of decades. And it’s very recent history, so it’s well documented and part of the collective consciousness, meaning there’s not a lot of wiggle room” to take poetic license, she added. For starters, Smith’s murder, which took place on a sunny day in June, was “filmed in late November in the southern plains of the Canadian Arctic climate,” said Read. This meant the production had to get rid of the snow blanketing the ground. Read and the show’s cinematographer would fly overhead in a helicopter to identify the areas that needed clearing. The production also contacted oil rigs in northern Alberta in order to track down specially designed dry steam trucks that would work in colder weather. (“We accidentally turned our entire Nauvoo town into a skating rink the day before” using a wet steam truck, Read said.) Because the red limestone jail, built in 1839, is such a readily identifiable landmark, Read did not have the option of repurposing a set from another production. Nor was filming at the actual jail, preserved by the church and operated as a historic site, an option. But its preservation made it easier for Read and her researchers to figure out the details, “right down to the location of the bullet holes in the door, the type of wood, the number of window mullions – everything,” she said. Read and her team replicated the exterior of the Carthage Jail, with its uneven stones, using vacuum-form simulated stones arranged Tetris-style in varying direc-

tions and painted by the scenic department to resemble red limestone. “The production design team, to the last detail, made sure that what was on that set was actually in that jailer’s room, and that what they’re wearing was accurate, that the order in which bullets were fired was accurate,” said Black. “If we were going to do it, we wanted to do it right.” “All the giant, historical moments in the religion – from the founding of it, to young Emma and Joseph Smith, to writing the Book of Mormon, to all the many horrific massacres and disasters that happened – we cover them all,” said costume designer Joseph La Corte. The historical timeline, which covers the 1820s through the 1850s, was especially tricky because “the silhouettes changed every decade,” said La Corte, who coped by thinking of “Banner” as two separate shows. “It was just overwhelming to try to work as one piece.” La Corte was lucky that the clothing and watch worn by Hyrum Smith on that day have been preserved and displayed at the church museum. A more monumental task was outfitting Joseph Smith’s wife, Emma (Tyner Rushing), who wears 13 different costumes over the course of the series – most of them handmade and one of which took 110 hours to construct. Using preexisting costumes was not an option, he said, “because if it’s at a rental house, it’s probably already been on camera somewhere.” Her sartorial journey traces her rise from middle class to becoming, with her husband, “the face of the religion,” La Corte said. “Everything becomes more elevated.”

Winklevoss twins have fortunes riding on crypto startup comeback Bloomberg

A woman shops for baby formula at Target in Annapolis, Maryland, as a shortage of baby formula continues due to supply chain crunches tied to the

coronavirus pandemic that have already strained the country’s formula stock, an issue that was further exacerbated by a major product recall in February.

Baby formula shortage shows risk of US industry concentration Bloomberg News Formula isn’t just for babies. April Crohare desperately needs it for her 14-year-old son, Charlie. Due to medical complications from a rare brain disorder called lissencephaly, his only source of nutrition comes from infant formula through a feeding tube. The Crohares, who live in Maryland, had relied on Abbott Laboratories’ hypoallergenic brand EleCare to feed Charlie for almost half his life until the specialty formula was pulled off shelves in a February recall linked to bacterial contamination at Abbott’s Sturgis, Michigan, facility. She’s been frantically searching for it – or another product her son can digest without getting sick – ever since. “This was the first time I’ve thought my kid was going to die because we can’t get formula, not because of all of his other medical issues,” Crohare said. Decades of market consolidation in the U.S. have resulted in problems like the one the Crohares and millions of other American families are now facing. Four companies – Abbott, Perrigo, Nestle SA and Mead Johnson – control 90% of the U.S. supply of formula. The risks of that concentration only came into sharp relief recently, when the Food and Drug Administration recalled some of Abbott’s brands. That move came after four babies who consumed formula made at its plant were infected with cronobacter – two of them died. Abbott said there’s no conclusive evidence linking its products to the infections and that analysis showed the strains taken from two infants’ samples didn’t match those found at its plant. The FDA did its own investigation into the cases, which it said it has since concluded, but the agency hasn’t provided any information to the public about what it found. Some people like the Crohares have been scrambling for formula since the recall first started, because they rely on a specialty brand for which there aren’t many alternatives. Other families with less-specific formula needs have seen the problem become worse over time. The recall led to panic buying and hoarding, creating shortages that have spread throughout the country. More than 21% of store shelves that carry formula are bare as of May 15, according to IRI, a market analytics company. San Angelo, Texas, and Topeka, Kansas, are among the hardesthit areas, with more than 30% out of stock as of May 8. The story of how those shelves ended up empty dates back years: The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the supply chain for formula like it did for so many other household essentials. It also dates back decades, to the 1972 creation of a federal program to feed infants – the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants,

and Children, more commonly known as WIC. The USDA estimates that WIC accounts for more than half of the country’s formula market. Some 45% of all American babies were eligible for WIC as of 2018, the most recent year data was available, and nearly all of those who are eligible use the program. That makes WIC a crucial factor in the formula market, and the way it is structured has led to formula monopolies in the majority of U.S. states. In 1989, Congress mandated that all states adopt competitive bidding for their WIC program. Under that law, states are required to award a formula contract to the lowest bidder, in most cases leaving one company in control of an entire state’s WIC formula allocation. Abbott has become a major player through this system, with the company now providing the formula for nearly half of the babies covered by WIC nationwide. These monopolies created by WIC have made it hard for other brands to break into the market, David Davis, a professor of economics at South Dakota State University, said. “If you want to be even a minor player in the industry, you need the WIC contracts,” he said. WIC contracts play a big role in how a formula maker does in a given state with other consumers as well. When a manufacturer clinches a state WIC contract, it boosts sales of its product to non-WIC consumers, according to a study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, which analyzed the program’s effect on the infant formula market. The opposite is also true: When a manufacturer loses a WIC contract, its market share in the non-WIC segment drops dramatically. For example, in August 2007, California switched its WIC contract from Abbott to Mead Johnson, and Abbott’s market share in the state, with both WIC and non-WIC consumers, dropped to 5% from 90%, according to the USDA study. The same study showed in a 30-state analysis that manufacturers that won state WIC contracts experienced an average 18-point increase in market share among non-WIC consumers, while manufacturers that lost their contracts experienced an average 19-point decline in share. These results help explain why, despite selling their products at a discount to the WIC program, manufacturers have an incentive to secure those contracts. Davis has tracked statelevel bidding for WIC contracts for years and said sometimes several states will form alliances, so whichever manufacturer wins one contract, wins them all. This kind of market concentration leaves little flexibility when something goes wrong. The current shortages are a frustrating illustration of that: Across the country, baby

formula supply started dropping in early March, less than a month after Abbott recalled products from its Sturgis, Michigan, facility, according to data from IRI. Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan told a House panel Wednesday that the agency would “look at the mergers that contributed” to the current “fragile state” of the market. “One plant has a really big impact on the industry,” Davis said. “This whole situation calls for a reexamination of how the formula market works.” It hasn’t helped that trade and regulatory restrictions make imports of infant formula rare. FDA labeling rules prevent imports of formula made in Europe, since most lack the required U.S. nutrition information. Infant formula that can be imported is also subject to an added tax of 17.5%. The United States‐Mexico‐Canada Agreement adopted by the Trump administration in 2020 also restricts infant formula imports from Canada, part of an effort to protect U.S. dairy farmers from being undercut by Canadian rivals. All of this has meant very few brands have much of a footprint in the U.S. formula market. Marc Scheineson, an attorney at Alston & Bird who has represented formula startups, said that when a smaller player wins FDA authorization for a new formula product, it’s often immediately taken over by one of the bigger companies. “The antitrust laws are supposed to prevent that from happening, but they haven’t been zealously enforced in years,” Scheineson said. This type of unchecked market dominance, along with WIC contracts and heavy FDA regulations, have created an industry where “entry barriers are too high” and “competition is too great” for new formula makers to stand a chance. That hasn’t stopped a startup called ByHeart from trying. Just a few weeks ago, it said it got FDA approval for its new plant in Pennsylvania, making it the first new formula manufacturing entrant in the U.S. in the past 15 years. The company’s new formula launched on March 23, in the midst of Abbott’s recall. ByHeart’s co-founders Mia Funt and Ron Belldegrun said they realize the company has launched during a “very complex time,” but that has only emboldened their mission. Just last week they took in three months’ worth of new customers, and they’ve invested millions into scaling the company to ensure they’re able to keep up with growing demand. Belldegrun said other companies that have tried to enter the baby formula market in recent years “haven’t brought anything to the industry.” Years of commitment to innovation and owning their supply chain have positioned ByHeart to “be part of the solution,” he said.

The family office of billionaires Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss will serve as a test case for the staying power of crypto startups after TerraUSD’s collapse and as interest rates and recession fears rise. Through Winklevoss Capital Management, the 40-year-old twins have investments in crypto startups from trading platform Slingshot to tax facilitator Taxbit to Praxis, which vows to build “the citycryptostate to realize a more vital future.” Between their family office and the venture arm of their digital asset exchange Gemini, they have stakes in about 50 crypto or blockchain startups, according to portfolios they’ve posted online. The latest tumble in digital assets could test the durability of those bets. Global fundraising for tech startups declined in the first quarter for the first time in nearly two years, with venture capitalists warning the firms they’ve backed to begin slashing costs. It’s a message that many young entrepreneurs have never heard before. Crypto startups in particular could face a cooling effect from the recent collapse in the TerraUSD algorithmic stablecoin and its affiliated digital token, Luna. They were still getting funding from venture capitalists as recently as April and pulled in $5 billion during the first quarter. Digital currencies Bitcoin and Ether remain depressed, down 50% from last year’s peak. Venture capital fundraising activity among US crypto or blockchain firms is on pace to fall short of last year’s deal count for the first time since at least 2017, according to PitchBook data. “We believe in investing in the next generation of builders and visionaries who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible,” Cameron Winklevoss said in a statement provided to Bloomberg earlier this year. “They are risk takers who want to build a better human experience and aren’t afraid to think big and fail greatly.” The brothers declined to comment further on their family office. The Winklevoss twins have a combined fortune of $6.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. They co-founded Gemini and are thought to be among the largest holders of Bitcoin, reportedly buying about 1% of all in existence around 2012. The brothers first became famous for claiming Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea for a Facebook-type social media platform while at Harvard University. They settled a lawsuit and used the money -- $20 million plus Facebook stock -- to create Winklevoss Capital in 2012. Many investment firms for ultra-wealthy families are shrouded in secrecy, taking pains to avoid the limelight and raising the specter of theft and kidnapping if their fortunes were made public. The Winklevoss twins, by contrast, use Instagram and Twitter to promote their family office’s 75-plus invest-

ments. The companies that have been acquired are emblazoned with bright magenta badges on their website, which doesn’t include the size, duration and type of their stakes. Their investments include Tezos, a platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications, and Xapo Bank, which protects users’ crypto holdings with the “security of a deep cold storage vault,” according to the family office. The twins joined Tiger Global Management and other investors last month in a funding round for GamerGains Lab, which lets players earn crypto rewards. The twins in January joined Soros Fund Management and other investors in a funding round for Animoca Brands Corp., a non-fungible token and metaverse company. “It’s an interesting blend between what we think of as a traditional office and a venture capital firm,” said John Workman, managing director at family office advisory firm Pathstone. “You don’t find too many family offices with a web page that publishes what they’re investing in.” The firm’s top exits have mostly come from non-crypto companies: Block Inc. bought food-delivery firm Caviar in 2014, Ford Motor Co. snapped up commuter ridesharing firm Chariot in 2016, and ASSA Abloy purchased smart-lock maker August Home in 2017. As for Winklevoss Capital’s newer crypto investments, some questioned how long such startups could continue to attract funding -- even before this month’s turmoil. “Compared to just a year ago, there’s been financing events that we’re just shocked at by the amount they were able to raise,” Spencer Bogart, a general partner at Blockchain Capital, told Bloomberg News last month. The New York-based firm, which has completed about 130 deals, passed on one it originally liked after the startup’s asking price reached levels too lofty to stomach. “Many blockchain-based projects require additional funding to achieve their growth goals,” said Matthew Sigel, head of digital-assets research at VanEck. “This downdraft could tighten investors’ focus on who should get funding and who shouldn’t.” If the Winklevoss twins approach their startup investments like they do Bitcoin, they’re likely in it for the long haul. When their digital coin of choice tumbled as low as $25,425 on May 12, Tyler tweeted that he was “completely unfazed,” while Cameron said he’s “HODLing.” (HODL is an acronym for “hold on for dear life.”) “Bitcoin isn’t just an asset. And it’s not just a technology,” Cameron Winklevoss tweeted on May 14. “It’s a movement that offers the blueprint to dismantle traditional power structures. It promises greater independence, choice and opportunity. It was a tough week, but the underlying fundamentals haven’t changed.” He signed off with another acronym. WAGMI: We’re all going to make it.

par that would bring Thomas a second major and a second PGA title. They might not pinpoint that Thomas’s clamber from seven shots down at dawn tied the PGA Championship record alongside John Mahaffey in 1978 at Oakmont. What they’ll absolutely remember, human nature being human nature, is how the 100th-ranked player in the world (Pereira) reached the 72nd hole with a one-shot lead (at 6 under) and an absence of fear (driver in hands). They’ll remember how Pereira’s drive did look sick as it strayed to the right, hopped up over an embankment beside the creek and plunged right in. They’ll remember Pereira’s score from

Fines From Page B1 ericks’ defensive calls and happened to be wearing white, the same color as Golden State’s uniforms. That’s the only instance with which Warriors coach Steve Kerr had an issue. “In fact, I really love the energy their bench showed. I think it’s great,” Kerr said after Golden State’s pre-game shootaround Sunday. “They’ve got great chemistry, great energy. They’ve had a phenomenal season, and I think part of it is they’re so connected and they’re pulling for each other. I love that part of it. “But you can’t interfere with the game, and I

thought that one play – I don’t know who it was, but someone was wearing a white shirt and was basically standing right next to our player and calling for the ball. So that’s too much. That’s too much. But the other stuff I have no problem with. I think it’s great.” No word yet on Pinson’s outfit choice for Game 3 Sunday night. But if his tweet during the Eastern Conference semifinal Game 3 Saturday night is indication, Pinson isn’t ready to tone down the hype. “I guess the Miami Heat are wrong for standing up and having white warmups and Boston wearing white jerseys huh,” he tweeted with questioning and cryinglaughing emojis.

there – a REM nightmare of a double bogey that featured a chip from off one side of the green to off another side - and how that dropped him from 6 under to 4 under, left Thomas and Zalatoris to square off from 5 under and put Pereira among golf’s rich volumes of horror stories. The man had led by three at 9 under at the outset and had held on gamely through the day, if shakily and with some par saves. He would see a 12-foot putt for birdie on No. 17 stop right at the door of the cup and a twoshot lead, as if he would not have enough memories to howl from the corner of his brain. Then he had his march to No. 18, an unlikely leader from an unlikely golfing country seeking a par at the toughest hole on the course through four days. Then he had something only a psychopath

could cheer. “I mean, I wish I could do it again,” he said thereafter. For so long, they had been up ahead: Mito and Will and Cameron and Matt. Their ages were 27, 25, 25 and 27, deepening a recent PGA Tour theme of youth growing up fast and ready to behave like the seasoned. Two of them (Zalatoris and Cameron Young) went to Wake Forest together. At around 3 in the afternoon, they had not so much broken away as that others had broken beneath them, and there figured to be a winner coming from Pereira at 9 under, Zalatoris at 7 under or Young and Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick at 6 under. Occasional golf observers and other channel-flippers might have been getting to know them. Hail to the lads. Well, how absurd that

the eventual top score would turn out to be 5 under. Pereira, in a lofty spot for just his second major, bogeyed Nos. 3, 7, 8, 12 and 14 but birdied Nos. 5 and 13 as he made his way toward No. 18, toward 75 and toward unforgettable. Young, the New Yorker whose ranking has blossomed from No. 1,510 two years ago to No. 264 one year ago to No. 38 by Sunday, looked contentious until his three-putt from 30 feet on No. 16 wreaked a double bogey. He finished in a tie for third at 4 under and said, “We had a good time for the most part.” Fitzpatrick, by far the most experienced in his 28th major with one top-10, faded off eventually with a 73 built on three back-nine bogeys. He finished in a tie for fifth at 3 under and said, “It’s tough obviously to take.”

from the Covid-related injured list Saturday, led off the second with a single to center. Irvin mishandled Wade’s bunt for an error, and Andrew Velazquez, after fouling off a bunt, singled sharply to center to load the bases with no outs. Ohtani flied to medium right. Suzuki, a slowfooted catcher, tagged from third but stopped a few feet beyond the bag. Wade, thinking Suzuki was headed home, tagged from second. Pinder, the A’s right fielder, threw to second. Suzuki should have broken for home at that point, but he didn’t. Wade couldn’t get back to the bag in time and was tagged out at second.

Trout followed with a 55.7-mph dribbler to the second-base spot that went for an RBI infield single and a 2-0 Angels lead because the A’s were shifted toward the left side. Suzuki was thwarted again in the third when, with a runner on first and two outs, Pache raced to the warning track and made a leaping catch of Suzuki’s drive at the top of the center-field wall. Trout walked to open the fifth, took second on Matt Duffy’s one-out single and scored on Brandon Marsh’s soft single to center for a 3-0 lead. Trout pushed the lead to 4-0 in the seventh when he led off with

his 12th homer of the season, turning on Justin Grimm’s inside curve and sending it 383 feet over the wall in left. The Angels played their second consecutive game without Ward, who left Friday night’s game because of a neck injury after slamming face-first into the right-field wall while catching Tony Kemp’s ninth-inning drive. The leadoff man, who has a major league-leading .370 batting average and 1.194 on-base-plusslugging percentage to go with nine homers, 23 RBIs and 23 walks, was diagnosed with a neck stinger and is listed as day to day.

good as he ever has right now. He’s locked in,” Wood said of Machado. “When he goes, their lineup goes. He’s hitting pitches early, pitches late, grinding out ABs and stealing bags, he’s doing it all right now. Machado’s four extrabase hits tied an Oracle Park record for an opposing player, set August 30, 2006 by Braves first baseman Adam LaRoche. Entering the season, Giants fans watched Dodgers sign the Freeman to a six-year, $162 million deal to fortify a lineup that was one of the majors’ best last year. They saw the Padres, who collapsed down the stretch, trade for veteran starter Sean Manaea and closer Taylor Rogers, who leads the majors with 16 saves. The Giants watched Buster Posey head off into retirement and watched as Kris Bryant signed a seven-year $182 million deal with the Rockies. Not every high dollar free agent signing pays off, but fans had reason to be critical of Farhan Zaidi’s approach. A short-term contract that brought

Carlos Rodón, the fifth-place finisher in American League Cy Young Award voting, appears shrewd, but a Giants’ lineup that lost two of its best bats looked overwhelmed against the Padres’ pitching staff at times this weekend. “We expected to have challenges, we expected to have injuries, we expected to have periods of poor play,” Kapler said. “None of this is surprising.” If the team’s worst month since the 2020 season isn’t a surprise, how do the Giants turn things around? “We do it by improving our practices, our processes and go back and take a look at what we can do better prior to the game,” Kapler said. At 22-18, the Giants are still one of the better teams in the National League, but a sweep against the Padres validated some of the concerns fans harbored entering the year. The Giants are a solid bunch, but World Series-caliber? With a quarter of the season down, they’re a long way from looking like a franchise ready to reclaim some evenyear magic.

unlikely division title, but the hill to climb might have an even steeper grade this year. Not only are the Dodgers brimming with talent, the Padres team that exited Oracle Park on Sunday with a sweep look the part of a legitimate contender thanks in large part to Machado, who bumped his average up to .374 with a 4-for-4 performance that featured three doubles and a triple. “He’s swinging it as
