Jackie Farmer teaches her class at Laurel Creek Elementary School in Fairfield, Tuesday.

‘Mrs. Farmer,’ last of the original Laurel Creek Elementary teachers, set to retire Matt Miller MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — When school resumes in August at Laurel Creek Elementary, something will be very different in the 30-year history of the school on Gulf Drive.

Jackie Farmer – or Mrs. Farmer to the hundreds of students who have entered her classrooms over the years – will no longer be teaching there.

Farmer is the last of what she called the “old-timers,” the original group of faculty where many made the switch over from Dover Elementary when it became a middle school. She and her husband Paul, the longtime sports editor of the Daily Republic, will be retiring and

moving to Utah to be close to their children and grandchildren.

“I wouldn’t even think about it, but people keep saying, ‘How many days left, Jackie?’ ” Farmer said. “It probably won’t really hit me until August when I’ll want to go out and buy school supplies and I won’t have to. But I do look forward to doing it with my grandchildren.”

The Farmers lived in Southern California before they moved to Fairfield in 1990, close to Jackie’s childhood home in Napa and Paul’s in Sonoma. They met as undergrads at Brigham Young University, working together as part of a cafeteria cleanup crew.

Jackie started out in the Fairfield-Suisun School District as a substitute teacher before landing a

job at Dover. All four of the Farmer children are products of the district and thrived in various extracurricular activities at Fairfield High, the music programs being the biggest among them.

Laurel Creek opened in 1993 and Jackie Farmer found her new home.

“It’s been a really good staff to work with,” Farmer said. “There’s a lot of collaboration and helping with new teachers get their feet wet. I’ll miss the staff, but thanks to Facebook and social media, we’ll keep in touch. I have a lot of great memories here.”

Farmer has taught first and fifth grade to go with the many years of fourth grade, where she has been See Farmer, Page A7

DOJ opens investigation into police response during Texas school shooting Tribune Content Agency The Department of Justice will launch an investigation into if and how local police failed to stop or slow the massacre at Robb Elementary School last week.

“At the request of Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, the U.S. Department of Justice will conduct a Critical Incident Review of the law enforcement response to the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas,” officials said Sunday.

Nineteen fourth-grade students and two teachers

were fatally shot Tuesday inside their classroom as police waited outside.

“The goal of the review is to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses that day, and to identify lessons learned and best practices to help first responders prepare for and respond to active shooter events,” the DOJ said.

The report will be released at the end.

Most of us were Air Force kids.

We were all awaiting his return from Vietnam and his wife Ms. June kept us up on when he would be back. Tragically, about two months before he was due to come home, his plane was shot down while training his replacement. In shock, we all sat in front of my house as different people came to pay their respects.

Grove of Titans stand in Northern California reopens vated around the grove, opened Saturday and will provide year-round access from the newly realigned Mill Creek Trail in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in Del Norte County.

“People had been walking off-trail to access the Grove of Titans,” said Erin Gates, deputy superintendent for the Redwood National and State Parks’ North Coast Redwoods District. “So we realigned the trail so that people could meander through the grove without putting a single footprint on the ground.”

Tribune Content Agency After the once-secret location of a famed grove of ancient redwoods in Northern California was made public, visitors flocking to see the towering trees caused significant damage looking for the off-trail behemoths.

Now, a new 1,300foot boardwalk through the Grove of Titans will give visitors a chance to see the old-growth redwoods, many reaching 300 feet tall, without threatening the forest’s fragile ecosystem.

The path, which is ele-

The Grove of Titans in Northern California contains some of the largest coast redwoods.

The location of the grove had been kept secret since the park was established in 1929, but finding it became a popular quest after researchers came across the stand of trees in 1998 and named it the Grove of Titans.

Although the researchers did not disclose its location, adventure enthusiasts began searching for the grove, Gates said.

In 2011, a website posted the GPS coordinates of the Grove of Titans, opening the floodgates to visitors who carved new paths for a glimpse of some of the world’s largest trees, damaging the forest floor and jeopardizing the shallow roots of the redwoods.

“When the location was shared online, that’s when a large majority of the resource damage began,” Gates said. “It wasn’t just people in the dozens, it was people in the hundreds and people in the thousands.”

Gates said one tree in particular was repeatedly trampled by visitors who climbed around it, killing the lush ferns that had once hugged its base.

“I’m actually looking at that tree right now,” Gates said prior to the ribbon-cutting for the new trail. “Ferns are shoot-

ing up from the base where the vegetation had been stripped.”

The $4 million project included realigning

3 miles of Mill Creek Trail, creating the elevated boardwalk through the grove and restoring what was damaged.

Peña Adobe Historical Society to celebrate Native American heritage Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — The Peña Adobe Historical Society will celebrate Native American heritage from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Laverne Bill, director of cultural resources at the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, will speak with park visitors about the many aspects of Yocha Dehe culture, including preservation of its language and oral history, governance, dance, food and agriculture. Bill will also be available to answer questions about local cultural resources/archaeological sites and the roles of tribal members in the community.

Ann Parkinson and Virgil Sellers of the Rush Ranch Education Council will share their knowledge of Native American basketry. Volunteers like Parkinson and Sellers have since 1994 taught more than 37,000 Solano County schoolchildren through the Rush Ranch Patwin Program.

Nicole Stevenson, executive director of the Vacaville Museum, will be on hand to share Native American items from the museum collection. Stevenson will chat with guests about the Vacaville Museum’s mission, which includes cultural and historical preservation for all of Solano County.

Miwok Tribal Elder Marge Grow Eppard will join the group for the blessing of the Willis Linn Jepson Memorial Garden.

The garden was established years ago by Bob Allen, founding member of the Peña Adobe Historical Society. Named after local famed botanist Willis Jepson, the garden had been left unattended for a number of years and has recently been restored.

Members of the Solano County Master Gardeners and the California Native Plant Society, who led the restoration effort, will speak to park guests at the rededication of the garden. Out-of-town family members of Allen, who died in 2016, will be present at the ceremony

Morse talks DNA at next meeting VALLEJO — The Genealogy Society of Vallejo-Benicia’s next speaker will be Stephen Morse, who will talk on “From DNA to Genetic Genealogy: Everything You Wanted to Know but Were Afraid to Ask.” The Zoom event will begin at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.

Morris is the creator of the One-Step Website for which he has received both the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Outstanding Contribution Award from the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies, Award of Merit from the National Genealogical Society, the first-ever Excellence Award from the Association of Professional Genealogists,

and two awards he said he cannot pronounce from Polish genealogical societies.

In his other life, Morse is a computer professional with a doctorate degree in electrical engineering. He has held various research, development and teaching positions, authored numerous technical papers, written four textbooks and holds four patents. Morse is best known as the architect of the Intel 8086 (the granddaddy of today’s Pentium processor), which sparked the PC revolution more than 40 years ago.

This talk introduces genes, chromosomes and DNA, and goes on to show how DNA is inherited. That knowledge of inheritance can be used to help find relatives you didn’t know you had, learn about your very distant ancestors and the route they traveled, and determine if you are a Jewish high priest (Kohan).

Examples presented include Genghis Khan’s legacy, the Thomas Jefferson affair and the Anastasia mystery.

All active Genealogy Society of Vallejo-Benicia members will receive a Zoom link. If you would like to attend as a nonmember guest, send an email to president@gsvb. org no later than 4 p.m.

Wednesday and request a Zoom invitation.

More information on the event can be found on the Genealogy Society of Vallejo-Benicia’s website at www.gsvb.org.

Weather Service issues fire danger warning for Solano County, region Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Much of Solano County is at risk for wildfires starting Memorial Day and officials are urging people to be prepared to flee should a fire start near their homes.

The National Weather Service has a fire danger warning, called a Red Flag warning, in place from 11 a.m. Monday through 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Much of the northern portion of the Central Valley – from Redding in the north to Modesto in the south, is included.

The affected area extends through Central Solano County but excludes Vallejo and Benicia.

A Red Flag warning means critical fire weather conditions are expected. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Those factors are expected across the region Monday and Tuesday, the National Weather Service reports.

Winds are projected to have gusts up to

35 mph, and low relative humidity values of 5% to 15%. The greatest threat is on the west side of the Sacramento Valley, mainly along and west of Interstate 5, the SonomaLake-Napa Unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports.

Residents are asked

to prepare their families, have emergency supply kits ready and have evacuation plans in place in case a fire starts near their homes.

For more information and to register, send an email to di@solanolandtrust.org or call 707-420-1041.

Rhinehart talks about War of 1812 records VACAVILLE — Brian Rhinehart will present “Navigating the Records from the War of 1812” at the next meeting of the Solano County Genealogical Society.

The virtual presentation begins 11 a.m. Saturday.

From bounty lands to pensions, there is no shortage of genealogical records for soldiers from the War of 1812. However, the various bounty land acts and pension acts enacted over the years had different restrictions and generated records with different kinds of information. This presentation will explain how and why these records were created, how to make sense of them, and what information those records may contain about your ancestors.

Rhinehart is a professional genealogist and speaker and is the owner of CivilWarRecords.com.

He is a graduate of Boston University’s Certificate of Genealogy Research and the Genealogical Institute on Federal Records (GenFed) in Washington, D.C. A direct descendant of six Civil War soldiers, Rhinehart specializes in research and record retrieval for Civil War and War of 1812 soldiers at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and has retrieved military files from the archives for hundreds of clients.

Guests are welcome to attend this free event. If interested, send an email to the society at scgs@ scgsca.org no later than 4 p.m. Friday, and request an invitation.

won’t regret.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A group identity is forming, and its character will depend on a few good leaders. You don’t know which ones they will be yet. Just know that more really will be merrier. Be inclusive; ask for input.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Victory is not an identity. The win defines no one. How a person takes the win says a lot more. And what they do with defeat says more still.

You’ll apply keen observation to an accurate assessment of character.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). A most felicitous approach to endeavors: Imagine the event before you execute or

even plan it. Stay in the land of your imagination until you’ve made something happy there, then approach the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Someone needs you. To be there for them is everything to you. The day’s setbacks seem unimportant when you are in service to the ones you love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Peace is a weird thing to have to fight for. A more logical way to invite peace is to find a place to claim it, then protect the sacredness of that place. Erect boundaries and build a sanctuary for peace to thrive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll practice what you love and love what you practice.

You’re becoming sharper and more accurate, discovering a side of the thing you didn’t know was there.

West leads the heart queen against three no-trump. How is South in danger of defeat? How can he survive?

CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

Gov. Newsom, legislators given stark warning about budget

T

he Capitol is agog about Gov. Gavin Newsom’s declaration that California will have a nearly $100 billion budget surplus.

“You’ve never seen a number like this,” Newsom told reporters as he unveiled his revised 2022-23 budget proposal.

Nearly half of the surplus must, by law, go to schools. The governor and legislative leaders are now busily negotiating how to spend the other $52 billion. They agree on giving a big chunk of it back to Californians but are arguing over how much and who will get the checks and/or cash cards.

However, the Legislature’s own budget adviser, Dan Walters Gabe Petek, is warning the politicians they should be careful because the budget could be in big trouble in the years ahead. If they ignore his advice, there could be a fiscal meltdown of epic proportions.

Petek believes that the governor’s revenue estimates – on which the huge surplus estimate is based – could be too optimistic because he ignores a very real threat of recession. Petek also faults the governor’s budget for ignoring long-term effects of the Gann Limit, a constitutional provision that imposes tight controls on revenue windfalls.

“Although predicting the next recession is impossible,” Petek says in a report released Tuesday, “economic indicators currently suggest a heightened risk of recession within two years. Past recessions – with the exception of the one induced by the pandemic – have resulted in cumulative revenue losses of tens of billions of dollars.

In two recent recessions, in fact, total revenue losses were around $100 billion.”

“Under our estimates of revenue and spending in the out-years, the state would have a very narrow operating deficit in 202324, a small operating surplus in 2024-25, and a larger operating deficit in 2025-26.”

Petek says.

Although Newsom’s budget makes passing reference to the possibility of recession, it assumes the state’s recovery from the pandemic-caused downturn will continue to be strong, and thus will generate a strong flow of revenues.

Petek reserves his sharpest criticism, however, for the budget’s lack of a plan to cope with the effects of the Gann Limit.

Once the calculated limit is reached, any revenue beyond that point must be either returned to taxpayers or spent on a few exempt categories.

“These requirements would far exceed the state’s narrow operating surpluses – and would compound operating deficits,” Petek notes, adding that without corrective action “the state likely would have significant budget shortfalls in the out-years.”

As drafted, Newsom’s budget avoids triggering the Gann Limit in 2022-23 by clever accounting, but Petek warns it’s likely to hit home within the next few years, forcing Newsom – assuming he’s re-elected this year – and the Legislature to reduce spending on other programs to meet Gann Limit requirements.

Although Newsom and legislative leaders have indicated they may ask voters to repeal or modify the Gann Limit’s stringent requirements, “In the meantime, we strongly caution the Legislature against passing a budget with a structural deficit stemming from unaddressed State Spending Limit (Gann Limit) requirements,” Petek says.

He suggests one way to make the budget more resilient to both recession and Gann Limit requirements is to devote more of the surplus to reserves, which would mean spending less of it on things the governor and legislators want, such as a massive election year giveback of cash to voters.

“Economic indicators point to a recession on the horizon within the next two years, not three to four years from now,” Petek warns.

“The state has a $52 billion surplus this year – now is the time to prepare for these looming budget problems.”

The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates aggressively to slow growth. Is Biden going to cause a depression by his inane policies?

A comparison of stock market performance under Donald Trump and Joe Biden as of May 24 shows that on the NASDAQ, Trump was at +34% and Biden was at -14.7%, a difference of 48.7%; on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Trump was at +25.7% compared to Biden at +3.2%, a difference of 22.5%; on the S&P 500, Trump was at +20.5% compared to Biden at +3.8%, a difference of 15.7%.

For working people whose life savings are in 401(k)s and IRAs, Biden’s financial policies are hurting their investments. At the end of Trump’s term as president, the NASDAQ had gained over 30%, the Dow Jones had gained over 55% and the S&P 500 had gained over 65%.

The performance of the stock market under Biden is weak and the trends are negative.

It appears that President Biden is wrong on every energy and financial policy as well. Reuters’ current rating of Biden’s approval is 36%. Eightythree percent believe America is headed in the wrong direction.

It has led officials to produce questionable numbers (the official death rate is . . . remarkably low), to separate parents from their children, to withhold medical care from those with other ailments, and to confine citizens – with a food system near the breaking point – to try to achieve an increasingly impossible goal.

China’s regime is trapped by its previous success. It has centered much of its propaganda on the superiority of zero-Covid and the Chinese system of rule. Altering the policy might be taken as an implicit admission that the Chinese model is not so successful after all. Hence the current situation, where China’s local and national leaders probably realize continuing the zero-Covid policy is a mistake, but no one feels secure enough to take the risk of fixing it.

One key lesson is complex authoritarian systems such as China are less nimble than they seem at first sight.

Numeric targets allow the central leadership to influence their underlings – but at the expense of giving them tunnel vision and the incentive to fudge the figures when they can. And sometimes, when the targets do succeed for a while, they become traps, tempting the regime to identify too closely with a measure that then leads it to adopt increasingly irrational policies even when reality demands change.

It’s hard for China’s leaders to relax the zero-Covid policy, even if they can see its destructive consequences.

President Joe Biden visited Uvalde, Texas, on Sunday to meet with some of the families whose children died last week in the latest mass shooting at a elementary school.

Biden was greeted in Uvalde by Texas GovGreg Abbott, ernor a Republican who regularly criticizes the Democratic president over immigration at the southern U.S. border and is seeking re-election in November. Biden’s first stop was a memorial at the school where an 18-year-old man who legally bought two assault rifles fatally shot 19 children and two teachers on Tuesday.

In the wake of the killing, Vice PresKamala ident Harris called for a ban on assault weapons and enhanced background checks for firearm purchases, while Biden broadly has urged Americans to stand up to the “gun lobby.”

“In the face of such destructive forces, we have to stand stronger.

We must stand stronger. We cannot outlaw tragedy, I know, but we can make America safer,” Biden said Saturday during a commencement ceremony at the University of Delaware, his alma mater.

“We can finally do what we have to do to protect the lives of the people and of our children,” he added, before linking both the

“It’s also fun to see the kids that graduate and come back to say hello,” she said. “They may have struggled with school and now are taking AP honors classes. It’s nice knowing that I might have been just a little part of that.”

Warriors benefit from break ahead of Finals Key injured players make progress Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — Coach Steve Kerr deflected questions last week during the Western Conference finals about how important the additional time off between series could be for his veteran-led and shorthanded squad.

He and the team were focused on beating the Mavericks, which Golden State did Thursday night at Chase Center to earn the franchise’s sixth NBA Finals berth in the last eight seasons.

But after having two days off, a rarity during the NBA season, Kerr returned from golfing and enjoying time with his wife, Margot, on Sunday and said the team greatly benefited from the break which allowed players a chance to recover after an exhausting few weeks.

“When you go to the Finals, it’s almost a two-month journey filled with stress and fatigue and everything else, so if you can get a little

bit of a break, it’s very meaningful,” Kerr said. “Hopefully we can get healthy and have a few days of really good prep and be ready to go on the first day.”

The opportunity to allow key players more time to recover from injuries might be the biggest gain during the Warriors’ six-day gap between series.

Gary Payton II (elbow), Andre Iguodala (neck) and Otto Porter Jr. (foot) are expected to return to practice this week.

Oakland Athletics’ Sean Murphy (12) reacts after striking out on a pitch thrown by Texas Rangers pitcher Dane

Dunning (33) in the first inning of their MLB game at the Coliseum in Oakland, Sunday.

Jed Lowrie’s single in the ninth gives A’s walk-off win over Texas Tribune Content Agency Jed Lowrie singled home Cristian Pache with two out in the ninth inning Sunday as the Athletics avoided a four-game sweep with a 6-5 win over the Texas Rangers before a crowd of 8,342 at the Coliseum.

Pache opened the ninth with a single to right against losing pitcher Brett Martin.

After Tony Kemp popped up a sacrifice bunt attempt, Pache went to second when Ramon Laureano hit a grounder off Martin, who retired Laureano at first.

Lowrie then deliv-

ered the game-winner to left center as the A’s improved their record to 20-30. Texas, hoping to reach .500, instead fell to 22-24 in a game in which the Rangers made five errors.

Chad Pinder, hitting for Seth Brown, drove in the tying run against reliever John King in the eighth. Then, with one out, Marcus Semien, playing second base, threw a ball in the dirt with the infield in and the bases loaded enabling Ramon Laureano to score the lead run.

The Rangers tied it against Dany Jimenez, however, when the

reliever uncorked a wild pitch with two out that enabled Semien to score the tying run.

Jimenez (2-2) ended up the winning pitcher after blowing the save.

Corey Seager and Brad Miller had solo home runs for Texas against starter James Kaprielian.

Kaprielian was done after 4 1/3 innings, giving up the two solo home runs and two more in the sixth inning on run-scoring singles from Miller and Marcus Semien, the latter on an 0-2 pitch driven to right field.

Semien’s hit was the end of Kaprielian’s day, with Sam Selman,

recalled from TripleA Las Vegas Sunday, taking over.

Following four innings of abject frustration, the A’s rallied for three runs in the fifth to cut the Texas lead to 4-3.

Jed Lowrie opened with a single, and after Brown struck out, Sean Murphy hit a ball down the line which got hung up against the wall, with Lowrie coming all the way around to score.

SF Giants rally to avoid sweep vs. Reds Tribune Content Agency CINCINNATI — The Giants had struggled to scrape together runs for two games against one of the worst teams in the majors and appeared to be headed down an even worse path in Sunday’s series finale.

They were held hitless into the seventh inning and scoreless until the eighth but were kept in the game by another strong pitching performance from starter Alex Cobb. And with a six-run rally off Reds relievers in the eighth inning – highlighted by Evan Longoria’s go-ahead three-run home run – they were able to stave off a sweep with a 6-4 win at Great American Ballpark.

Longoria’s three-run shot into the right-field seats came after the Reds pulled starter Tyler Mahle, who didn’t allow a hit until Thairo Estrada doubled with two outs in the seventh inning. Giants hitters made 20 outs before they could

muster a hit off Mahle.

Going nearly toe-to-toe with Mahle, Cobb limited the Reds to two runs on four hits over six innings while striking out eight – six looking – including a stretch where he struck out five in a row. For seven innings, it appeared Cobb’s strong start would go to waste.

With Sunday’s early start time (11:35 a.m. local), the Giants’ bats woke up right around the time they would have normally started play for a Sunday game in the Eastern time zone.

Until Estrada’s seventh-inning double, the only base runners the Giants could manage against Mahle, who took MLB’s worst ERA among qualified starters (6.32) into this game, came on three walks and a hit-by-pitch. The pitcher who started Saturday’s game, Vladimir Gutierrez, had an ever higher ERA (8.70, but not enough innings to qualify) and limited San Francisco to two runs. Facing a rookie making

his second MLB start Friday, the Giants’ only run came off Cincinnati’s bullpen.

Mahle needed 104 pitches to make it through 7⅔ innings, and forcing him from the game ignited the Giants offense.

Tommy La Stella started the rally with a one-out double off reliever Jeff Hoffman, followed by a walk to Wilmer Flores that prompted Cincinnati to turn to Art Warren. The first batter he faced, Joc Pederson, snuck a single past shortstop Kyle Farmer to drive home La Stella for the Giants’ first run.

Then the floodgates opened.

Longoria launched his fourth homer of the year to clear the bases and give the Giants their first lead of the entire series. They had played 26 innings against the Reds prior to the eighth and trailed in all but two of them (the first two innings Saturday, knotted at zero).

See Giants, Page B8

Scott Dixon, who has led more Indianapolis 500 laps than any other driver, was cruising toward his second career victory in the 106th running of the race Sunday afternoon when he drew a speeding penalty on pit row.

That mistake, compounded by a Jimmie Johnson crash, set up a four-lap shootout.

Marcus Ericsson held off Pato O’Ward in that shootout, with Tony Kanaan finishing third.

“I couldn’t believe it. You can never take anything for granted,” the 31-year-old Ericsson told NBC. “. . . It was hard to refocus, but I knew the car was amazing. I had to do everything there at the end to keep [O’Ward and Kanaan] behind.”

After Dixon’s miscue, those three, along with Marco Andretti and Alex Palou, were in the running. But Ericsson, a Swede whose helmet paid tribute to late Swedish driver Ronnie

Peterson, took control with 10 laps to go, opening a big lead over O’Ward and Kanaan.

Johnson, Ericsson’s Chip Ganassi Racing teammate and the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion running in his first Indy 500, briefly took the lead for a lap with 13 to go, but a crash into the fence on Turn 2 ended his race with six laps left. That brought out a red flag that stopped the race to allow Johnson’s debris to be cleaned up and set up a shootout – the last thing Ericsson wanted to see - with four laps left.

“They’d better be ready. I wouldn’t want to be the leader of the restart,” Kanaan told NBC from his car as he awaited the shootout.

“I’m exactly where I want to be.”

Ericsson held off O’Ward’s challenge and won the race for the first time. It was the third IndyCar race victory for the Swede, who made his debut on the circuit See Indy, Page B8

Vanden to open NorCal Regionals at San Jose’s Bellarmine Prep Daily Republic staff SPORTS@ DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Vanden High baseball team’s loss in the SacJoaquin Section Division III championship game came with a silver lining.

When CIF Northern California Regional brackets were released on Sunday, the Vikings (29-4) found out they’re the eighth – and lowest seed -- in Division II and play at Bellarmine College Prep of San Jose (21-9-1), the West Catholic League runner-up and North Coast Section semifinalists, on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

However, Del Campo of Fair Oaks (29-4), which outlasted Vanden 4-2 in eight innings on Wednesday, is seeded eighth in Division I and must open at No. 1 De La

Salle of Concord (24-6), East Bay League and North Coast Section Division champions.

As the lowest seed in its bracket, Vanden, the Monticello Empire League champs, will play on the road regardless of the opponent.

A win Tuesday means a game at either No. 5 Ukiah (20-9) or No. 4 Granite Bay (19-13) on Thursday in the regional semifinals.

The top seed in the other half of the bracket is No. 2 Archbishop Mitty of San Jose (21-10), a possible regional finals opponent on Saturday.

Regional playoffs began in 2021, but only in Southern California as they were canceled in Northern California because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Trout is moist with a scrumptious, smoky flavor.

Wrap whole trout in bacon and grill it for a smoky, no-stick fish

Ann Maloney

THE WASHINGTON POST

I

f I write about cooking fish, I almost always get a comment about how smelly it is. If I suggest moving the cooking outside to the grill, I hear from folks with sad tales of losing fillets to the white-hot coals or winding up with overcooked, dried-out food.

Enter grilling expert and cookbook author Elizabeth Karmel’s grilled bacon-wrapped trout.

The beauty of this technique for cooking whole fish is its simplicity. The head-on, tail-on, cleaned fish are rubbed with a bit of olive oil, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, and stuffed with sprigs of fresh herbs. Then they are wrapped in strips of thin, center-cut (this is important, so more on this later) bacon, placed on a grill over indirect heat (see notes below for more details), covered, and grilled until the bacon crisps, about 15 to 20 minutes. No flipping required.

The resulting fish is moist with a scrumptious, smoky flavor. We have done this several times at my house now. The last time, we ate two of the fish hot off the grill. Then we deboned the rest and ate the smoky fish cold the next night on a makeshift dinner board with the bacon, rough chopped, next to crackers, hummus, grape tomatoes and olives. It was delicious that way, too.

I agree with Karmel, who said: “It’s crazy simple. . . . The taste is elevated and complex, but it’s so easy to execute. It’s almost not like cooking. It’s like a craft project, and it is beautiful on the plate, too.”

Karmel does have a few tips.

First, she warns that this is not the time for that thick-cut, artisanal bacon. “I buy Oscar Mayer center-cut,” she said.

The thinner bacon needs to sit out for about 20 minutes until it loses its chill. That way it will wrap easily around the fish and require no messy toothpicks to keep it in place. Center cut is important because it is leaner.

Bacon that is too fatty will shrink as it cooks, leaving your fish naked in spots.

Karmel introduced me to the wrapping technique late last summer when I talked with her about tips for grilling fish. She’s a big proponent of putting things

Don’t use thick-cut, artisanal bacon. The thinner center-cut bacon will wrap easily around the fish and require no messy toothpicks to hold it in place. between the delicate creatures and the grill. She recommends the bacon-wrap method to firsttime or anxious fish grillers.

“Everything I do is problem-solution based,” she said.

“One of the biggest problems people have when they are grilling fish is that it sticks. If you use the fish basket, then it sticks to the fish basket. So obviously, a barrier between the grate and the fish will eliminate that stickage.”

She might slip a salmon fillet atop chevroned layers of lemon slices or onto a well-soaked cedar plank. Unlike foil or other barriers, bacon, citrus and cedar also add flavor, she said.

(If you do put your fish directly on the grill, Karmel is adamant that you oil the fish, not the grate. Do not argue!)

For flavor, she likes trout stuffed with fresh tarragon but encourages folks to use any herbs they like, such as cilantro, or maybe try sliced garlic and/ or thin lemon wedges.

If you can’t find trout, she recommends snapper or branzino, and adds that keeping the head and tail on results in more flavor and helps keep the fish in one piece as it cooks.

“Any small whole fish would work with this method,” she said. “It’s going to take 15 to 20 minutes for the bacon to cook, so anywhere between 3 ⁄4 to 1 1⁄2 pounds should be OK. With the skin and whole herbs and bacon, it is very hard to overcook it because there’s so much moisture.”

Karmel urges grillers to wait until the bacon is nice and crisp before removing the fish.

If you are using a charcoal

grill, it might take a bit longer for the bacon to get there, but it will, she said.

We also tested the technique in a hot, hot oven, too, and found that, in a conventional oven, the fish got too oily before the bacon crisped. The technique worked better in a convection oven, but you have to flip the fish halfway through. Also, we found it best to quickly run it under the broiler right at the end to crisp up the bacon. So, for me, it’s back to the grill.

If you’re cooking four small, whole fish like this, you probably also have room to add vegetables to the grill. We found sliced quick-cooking zucchini to be a great complement to this dish.

GRILLED BACONWRAPPED TROUT 30 minutes, plus 15 to 45 mins for setting up gas or charcoal grill, respectively 4 servings If you have trepidation about grilling whole fish, try this recipe from grilling expert and cookbook author Elizabeth Karmel. The fish is seasoned simply with olive oil, salt and pepper, and stuffed with fresh herbs.

It is then wrapped in center-cut, hickory-smoked bacon. The bacon serves two purposes: It adds flavor, but it also prevents the fish from sticking to the grates. Keeping the head and tail on the fish while it grills results in more flavor and helps keep the fish intact during the cooking time, Karmel says. Karmel likes to make this dish with trout, but other small, white-fleshed fish, such as snapper or branzino work well, too.

One tip: This is not the time for thick artisanal bacon. Use thin, center-cut bacon, which has less fat and so will not shrink as much when cooked.

Make sure the strips are at room temperature, so they will easily wrap around the fish and stay in place.

Make Ahead: The fish can be oiled, seasoned with pepper, stuffed with herbs, wrapped in bacon and then tightly wrapped and refrigerated up to 1 day before grilling. Do not season with salt if preparing in advance because this will cause the fish to dry out.

Storage Notes: Refrigerate for up to 2 days.

4 whole trout or branzino (about 1 pound each), gutted and cleaned (see NOTES) Olive oil Fine salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 to 8 sprigs fresh tarragon, plus more for serving 12 slices center-cut hickorysmoked bacon, room temperature, plus more as needed 2 zucchini (about 1 1⁄4 pounds total) Pat the trout dry. Brush each trout inside and out with olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Divide the tarragon into four equal amounts and place them inside the fish.

Starting with the head of one fish, just behind the eye, begin to wrap the bacon around the circumference of the fish, slightly overlapping each layer so cover the fish skin. Each fish should take about 3 pieces of bacon to wrap; more if your fish is larger. Stop wrapping when you reach the last inch of the tail. Repeat with the remaining fish.

Wash, trim and halve the zucchini lengthwise. Slice each half lengthwise again, into 1⁄4-inch thick pieces, then cut each piece in half, for easy handling. Place on a plate or platter, brush with oil and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Place two clean platters near the grill. Preheat the grill for indirectheat, medium-heat grilling (see NOTES).

Place the fish in the center of the cooking grate over indirect heat and arrange the zucchini slices around the fish. Cover and grill for 10 minutes. Transfer the zucchini to a platter and cover it to keep it warm. (Or, if you want the zucchini very soft, flip it and continue cooking.) If necessary, rotate the fish (see NOTES), and continue to cook for about 10 minutes more, or until the bacon is crisped, the fish flakes and is cooked through.

Transfer the fish to a platter, sprinkle with tarragon leaves, and serve family-style with the zucchini.

NOTES If your fish are larger than 1 pound, they may need to cook for

a bit longer and you may need an additional strip of bacon or two.

It is best to put the fish in the center of the grates, so it has even heat on the left and right, and air can move evenly around the food, like a convection oven. If the size or configuration of your grill makes that impossible, you may find that the fish is browning too much on one side after the first 10 minutes. If so, move and rotate the fish so the cooler side is near the heat source (hotter coals). It is not necessary to flip the fish, but you can if you like.

To prep your gas grill for indirectheat grilling: Cover and preheat with all burners on high. When ready to cook, if using a threeburner grill, turn the middle burner off and reduce the heat on the other burners to medium-high.

Many two-burner grills are set up for indirect heat, so you can simply place the food in the center of the cooking grate. Heat one burner to medium-high and leave the other one off. The temperature of the grill should be about 400 degrees.

If using a charcoal grill, fill two chimney starters with charcoal, light them, and when the coals are ashed over, arrange them on either side of the pan, leaving an empty spot in the middle. If your grill is too small to allow for an empty spot, push the coals to one side, leaving the other side empty. Replace the cooking grate, and set an oven or grill thermometer on top. Cover the grill. You are aiming for a temperature of between 400 to 450 degrees.

If using a convection oven: We prefer this fish grilled so you get the smoky flavor, but it can be made in an oven with a convection setting.

Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Place the baconwrapped fish on a rack set on the baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees on the convection setting. Roast the fish for 10 minutes, then flip it over and roast for another 10 minutes. If the bacon is not quite crisp enough, turn on the broiler, raise the rack 4 to 6 inches from the broiler and broil the fish for about 2 minutes on one or both sides, watching carefully so that it does not burn.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Monday, May 30, 2022 B3

What West Coast ports’ labor negotiations mean for your packages Tribune Content Agency As the U.S.’s largest ports in California moved record amounts of cargo amid pandemic-induced supply-chain bottlenecks, union dockworkers strengthened their indispensable role in the nation’s logistics network.

But the expiration of labor contracts with more than 22,000 West Coast port workers this summer could throw a wrench in the recovery plans of the twin hubs of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which handle about 42% of all U.S. containerized trade with East Asia.

Contract negotiations between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and about 70 employers represented by the Pacific Maritime Association for new contracts started May 10. The sides have said they’re committed to keeping cargo moving throughout the process. This would avoid a repeat of the delays and congestion that hampered ports from San Diego to Bellingham, Washington, during the 2014 talks that extended into 2015.

Here’s a look at what’s at stake:

When does the contract expire?

July 1. Originally set to end in June 2019, the parties in 2017 agreed to extend the end date to June 2022, after roughly two-thirds of union members voted in favor, avoiding cargo disruptions in exchange for higher wages and pensions.

In November, port workers declined an offer by employers to lengthen the existing pact for another year.

Who’s involved?

The contracts apply to members of the ILWU’s Coast Longshore Division – marine clerks, foremen and long-

The PMA, meanwhile, counts the biggest container carriers and terminal operators including A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S and Cosco Shipping Holdings Co. among its members.

The White House is on standby in case it needs to reprise its actions in the 2014 talks. Back then, a ninemonth dispute that caused disruptions and shipping delays only ended after the Obama administration intervened. It took the shipping industry about the same period after a deal was reached in February 2015 to return to normal service, according to an analysis by Copenhagen-based Sea-Intelligence.

“We don’t need to get involved in this negotiation unless we have to,” Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said on Bloomberg Television May 6.

Why do these talks matter?

Two years of strong consumer spending have seen record cargo volumes hammer West Coast ports with congestion, leading to an unprecedented supply-chain crisis. Although the situation has improved, new economic gridlocks are threatening the recovery. As companies and

consumers worldwide feel the repercussions of China’s Covid-19 lockdowns, the domino effect of increased arrivals that had been held back from the U.S. due to the restrictions has yet to peak at West Coast ports, according to the leaders of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

“When dockworkers strike, the impacts are felt by everybody,” said Katy Fox-Hodess, an employment-relations lecturer at Sheffield University Management School in the UK and former ILWU organizer.

What’s at stake?

The talks are unfolding at a moment of unusual clout and vigor for the long-declining U.S. labor movement. Unions secured surprising election victories at a Staten Island Amazon.com Inc. warehouse and at dozens of Starbucks Corp. locations, establishing footholds at firms that had successfully resisted organizing for decades. Leaders from both of those campaigns were invited to the White House where they met President Joe Biden, who has pledged to be “the most pro-union president leading the most pro-union administration in American history.”

New union campaigns have also emerged in recent months

among staff for Apple Inc., Trader Joe’s Co. and the U.S. Congress. An unusually tight labor market has helped embolden some employees to organize, and has boosted union members’ leverage to demand more at the bargaining table or threaten strikes.

In the seven years since West Coast port workers have negotiated a full, fresh contract, the hardships of laboring through the Covid-19 pandemic, employers’ recent robust profits, and the rapid acceleration in inflation could all drive up ILWU members’ expectations for winning substantial raises.

The current focus on mitigating supply-chain disruptions and the near impossibility of running the ports smoothly without these workers’ expertise could embolden them to hold out for bigger concessions from management and wield the strike weapon if the companies aren’t cooperative.

“We make no apologies for achieving wages that allow workers to provide for their families,” ILWU International President Willie Adams said in a May 6 statement.

The basic “straight-time” hourly wage for ILWU members is $46.23, according to the latest ILWU-PMA contract.

They would therefore make at least $96,000 for a 40-hour week, above California’s median household income of $79,000.

What about automation?

The employers’ right to automate their operations has become a prominent issue in the contract. The 2002 deal introduced new technologies such as scanners and character-recognition technology, while the 2008 pact explicitly authorized automation.

Last year, Total Terminals International LLC announced its intention to fully automate

its Long Beach operations, a project the ILWU strongly opposed. This would make it San Pedro Bay’s fourth terminal with some automation out of the port complex’s 14 hubs.

A week before the 2022 talks started, the PMA released a report extolling the benefits of automation. The study found that two of the twin ports’ automated terminals have processed containers twice as quickly as conventional ones, while paid hours rose by almost one-third.

ILWU Coast Committeeman Frank Ponce de Leon called the report a “self-serving document,” saying there hadn’t been “an overall increase in productivity at the ports, just a shell game to mask the human cost of job destruction.”

“Automation itself is a self-fulfilling prophecy – the more automation you use, the better it gets, and the less you need human intervention,” said Stephanie Loomis, vice president of international procurement at freight forwarder CargoTrans Inc. “The union realizes this is their livelihood, and the livelihoods of potentially the next generation. So this is not going to go easy for either side.”

Will they get a deal?

Both sides have repeatedly said they will reach an agreement, and are committed to do so without disruptions.

But whether that happens by July 1 is unlikely, as both parties usually agree to extend the contracts to allow themselves extra time to negotiate.

“It doesn’t matter that the contract isn’t done by July 1, that’s not the litmus test,” PMA President Jim McKenna said in an interview last month. “The litmus test is the contract is done, and there’s been no disruption. I don’t care if it’s done three months after it expires.”

Here are movies to look forward to between now and early August.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Consider your need for speed satisfied.

Now in theaters, “Top Gun: Maverick” is a feel-good force that captures the spirit of the original 1986 film while delivering a wholly new story. Tom Cruise is better than ever as the rebellious Navy pilot Maverick, who must now train a new generation of aviators.

It’s the perfect film to see with your wing man or woman.

‘The Bob’s Burgers Movie’ Viewers of Fox’s meaty animated comedy series “Bob’s Burgers” can finally sink their teeth into a feature film about the quirky Belcher family.

‘Lightyear’

‘Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank’

“Toy Story” lovers will go to infinity and beyond for this Buzz Lightyear origin story. The spinoff introduces the human astronaut who inspired the Buzz toys, depicting an epic adventure through time and space.

It’s the fifth “Toy Story” flick – and first to go beyond the franchise’s main story line.

Chris Evans voices Lightyear in the film, in theaters June 17.

A family film to get tails wagging, “Paws of Fury” features a doggone good voice cast led by Michael Cera as a beagle training to become a samurai.

The animated animal movie, in theaters July 15, also stars Samuel L. Jackson, Michelle Yeoh, Mel Brooks and George Takei in a story loosely inspired by the classic comedy “Blazing Saddles.”

‘Elvis’

‘The Gray Man’

Austin Butler looks to strike the right note as the King of Rock and Roll in a Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic showcasing Presley’s ascent to superstardom.

With a $200 million budget, it’s among Netflix’s most-expensive films ever.

‘Minions: The Rise of Gru’ There’s nothing despicable about this animated origin story for Steve Carell’s Gru, the lovable villain introduced in the “Despicable Me” movies.

Gru becomes a hero over the course of those films, but his venture to villainy is highlighted in this prequel, in theaters July 1. Expect plenty of screen time for his hilarious henchman, the Minions, who are always favorites among kids.

‘The Forgiven’ Thrill seekers this summer need to look no further than the suspense-filled “The Forgiven,” which hits theaters July 1.

PLAY FROM DOWN UNDER A woman called a bookshop in Sydney, Australia. “Do you sell bridge books?”

“No,” replied the salesman. “We sell only science fiction and fantasy.”

The woman giggled for a moment and said, “But you haven’t seen my husband’s bridge game!”

Bridge is very popular in Australia

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder and New Zealand. The magazine Australian Bridge has been published for decades, now with six large-page issues a year containing something for everyone.

Today’s deal was played at the Double Bay Bridge Centre in Sydney.

After South reached seven hearts, West led a trump. How should declarer have planned the play?

When North received a positive response in hearts to his strong opening bid (which dates the deal as decades old), he used the Grand Slam Force. This asked South to bid seven with two of the top three heart honors.

He duly obliged.

Perhaps West should have guessed to lead a minor, especially as a diamond defeats the contract. However, against a grand slam the textbooks recommend a trump.

South drew two rounds of trumps ending in the dummy. Now he saw that if the spades were breaking as in the diagram, a club ruff would have to be his 13th trick. Declarer cashed the club ace, ruffed a spade in hand, ruffed a club in the dummy, ruffed another spade, drew the last trump (discarding dummy’s low diamond) and claimed as dummy was high. South’s 13 tricks were five spades, five hearts, two minor-suit aces and the club ruff in the shorter-trump hand. He also won a bonzer sum of Australian dollars.

ET games on Independence Day in Washington, D.C. (2012, 2015). MLB’s new streaming deal with NBC’s Peacock features early morning games every Sunday, and this was the Giants’ first time taking part. They don’t have any more Peacock or Apple TV games on their schedule. “I naturally get up early, so it’s not a big deal for me,” manager Gabe Kapler said before the game. “I just try to compare it to a normal day game, like a 1:05 game, but players get here an hour earlier or so.

It’s not the easiest part of the schedule but also not the hardest.”

by Cristian Pache.

The A’s reverted to squandering opportunities in the seventh, putting runners on first and third with no one out and failing to score. Brock Burke struck out Andrus and Smith before Matt Bush came on to induce a popup out of Pache.

In the first inning, the A’s got a runner to third with no one out and had the bases loaded with one out and didn’t score, with Murphy striking out against Dunning and Barrera hitting into a fielder’s choice.

A two-out rally in the second and Dunning wild pitch had runners at second and third, with Ramon Laureano striking out looking on a pitch high in the zone.

In the third, with a runner at second and two out, Barrera hit a screamer measured at 107.3 miles per hour. It went directly to Nathaniel Lowe at first base for the third out.

It got worse in the fourth. Andrus singled to lead off, Seager fumbled a potential double-play ball and Pache walked to load

the bases with no one out.

The A’s again came up empty, with Tony Kemp popping to third and Laureano hitting into a double play. At that point the A’s through four innings had left eight runners on base and were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

The A’s cut off a potential run in the seventh inning when Brown’s glove flip to Murphy at the plate cut Andy Ibanez down at the plate on an attempted squeeze bunt attempt

his second win of the year and his fourth since 2021.

“It’s frustrating. It’s bittersweet,” he said after Sunday’s runner-up finish.

“I’m so proud, but it definitely stings, because I feel like the team and I did everything perfectly to get it done, and something that’s out of our control was why we struggled in the end.”

Of opting against a gofor-broke move on the final lap, O’Ward said: “[Ericsson] was going to put me in the wall if I would have gone for it. We were alongside each other.”

Johnson, a 46-year-

old in his second IndyCar season, told reporters afterward that he had “mixed emotions” about a result for which he had “higher expectations.” He claimed to not have had “the car that I needed.”

“Just really couldn’t get through the field,” he said. “Every time I set someone up for a pass, the car would wash out and I would lose one or two spots, and I kept falling further back in the field.”

The most disappointed about the outcome may have been Dixon, who came into it 75 laps behind Al Unser’s total of 644 for most led all-time in Indy

500 history. Dixon wound up leading 95 of 200 laps Sunday to grab the record, but he failed to win for the fourth straight time after starting the race in pole position. He previously won the Indy 500 from the pole in 2008.

That remains the one victory in the event for Dixon, a 41-year-old citizen of New Zealand who lives in Indianapolis. He has earned IndyCar season champion honors six times, most recently in 2020.

“It’s frustrating. The car was really good all day. I just messed up,” Dixon said.

BASEBALL

Even with Sunday’s win, the Giants have lost nine of their past 14 games. They now head to Philadelphia to face a Phillies team that is scuffling equally, having lost nine of 13 (and four of five) entering their Sunday Night Baseball game against the Mets.

Notable Fans back in San Francisco had to set their alarms and brew their coffee to catch this one, though maybe it’s better if they didn’t. The 11:35 a.m. local start time (8:35 a.m. in the Bay Area) was the third-earliest game the Giants have played since the turn of the millennium. The only earlier starts were both 11:05 a.m.

behind win, the Giants avoided being swept by a team that took the worst record in the majors into this series. It was just their second time in 19 games that they have won while trailing after seven innings.

Before Sunday, the Giants had already locked in a losing record during the month of May. With two games remaining this month, San Francisco stands at 11-14, one loss shy of tying August 2020 for the most in a month since Kapler took over. That August was also the only other month in Gabe Kapler’s two-plus seasons that the Giants have finished a month below .500.

Finals From Page B1 injured his left foot in the first half of Game 3 of the Western Conference finals against the Mavericks. The injury, different from the foot issue that hampered him toward the end of the Western Conference semifinals, sidelined him for Games 4 and 5.

Meanwhile, Payton and Iguodala missed all of the last series against Dallas.

Payton has been out for about four weeks since he broke his left elbow in Game 2 in Memphis. He’s been spotted doing court work with his right arm and a recent report indicated he was on track to make a return this series, which is welcoming news for the Warriors who’ve missed the 28-yearold’s defensive prowess, length and athleticism.

Iguodala hasn’t played since the Warriors’ firstround series against the Nuggets as he is nursing a disc injury in his neck. The 38-year-old veteran has found ways to make positive impacts this postseason despite being unable to play.

He’s served as a pseudocoach, mentoring the young players and providing in-game feedback.

There’s a possibility all three could return at some point during the NBA Finals.

“That’s what we’re aiming for but we’ll have a better feel after the next couple of days of practice,” Kerr said.

Golden State will be

well rested and rejuvenated by Game 1 of the NBA Finals Thursday, while its opponent, the winner of Game 7 Sunday night between the Heat and Celtics, will have only three days to rebound from the Eastern Conference finals, one of which will be spent on a flight to San Francisco.

“That’s huge,” Kerr said. “Conference finals were really tiring even though the series only went to five games, you play every other day.

It’s very difficult when you factor in the back and forth, three and a half hour flight. Both teams felt that.

“So to be in our own beds for [more than] a week straight… is very helpful,” he continued.

“But still got to go out and do all the work and get the job done.”

While some fear the long gap between series could throw the Warriors out of rhythm, center Kevon Looney said the pros far outweigh the cons of the time off.

“When you’re playing in those series, there’s a game every other day and you’re traveling most of the days, you don’t have a lot of time to get your body together,” he said. “But having two days off and a week until we play [allows] everybody get their mind right, everybody focus and get the body back to where you want to get it to. Some of the cons is there’s nothing like game rhythm, game shape, so you’ve got to make sure you’re doing all the stuff that you normally do to stay sharp.”
