3 dead after Philly attack Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — Three people were killed and 11 others wounded in a mass shooting late Saturday night on South Street amid chaos that erupted on legendary blocks that have long been among the region’s most popular gathering places. “Once it started I didn’t think it was going to stop,” said Joe Smith, 23, who was standing outside the Theater of the Living Arts on South between Third and Fourth streets, when the shots rang out around 11:30 p.m. “It was chaos,” said Eric Walsh who was closing up the outdoor seating area of O’Neals, a bar near Third and South. He saw a young woman collapse to the ground on the corner. “People were coming off the street with blood splatters on white sneakers and skinned knees and skinned elbows,” said a visibly shaken Walsh. “We literally just were balling up napkins and wetting them and handing them to people.” Officials had not released the identities of the dead, saying only that one was a 25-yearold man and another a 22-year-old woman.

Capitol hearings to begin Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, shocked viewers watching live around the world and, at least in the moment, infuriated Republican congressional leaders who fulminated among themselves against the role Donald Trump and his allies played in egging on the rioters.

Several attorneys and researchers steeped in advocacy for this population said they were stunned by the speed at which Collier was shuffled around the system. Some told CalMatters they initially didn’t believe it until they saw the documentation. “I don’t think the system is designed where anybody says, ‘Stop. Take a step back. What does he really need?’” said Margot Mendelson, an attorney with the Prison Law Office, cocounsel in the ongoing federal, class-action suit about the state’s treatment of inmates with mental illness, known as Coleman. For many inmates, the churn continues. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation agreed on May 5 to release transfer data that CalMatters had requested in March, but has thus far failed to

provide it. However, data collected by CalMatters from the department’s public website between June 2021 and May 2022 showed that, while most of the state’s prison inmates rarely move, a subset is being transferred frequently. According to CalMatters’ analysis of the data, of the 86,118 inmates who had been incarcerated at least 12 months prior to last June, 1,988 moved at least four times this past year and 32 moved eight times or more. Several of the inmates who moved the most frequently told CalMatters they were being treated for mental health conditions. Even as the state shrunk its overall prison population in recent decades, the ranks of inmates with mental illness continue to swell. In April 2000, one in eight California prison inmates had a diagnosed mental illness. This year, one in three do, See Prison, Page A7

According to Fairfield City Councilwoman Pam Bertani, the idea of having a celebration here was born in a meeting of the Fairfield Clergy Action Network. Bertani formed Fairfield CAN, a collaboration with senior pastors comprising the local faith community and the city of Fairfield, to join forces and collectively bring resources to bear on pressing community concerns. The Solano County Black Chamber of Commerce, led by President Tamuri Richardson, has signed on as have others and the idea has become reality.

The engaging host is librarian Chris Diaz and he effectively guides viewers through interesting and little-known local history tales, including ones about the city of Cement, the forgotten Japanese community of Vacaville and the violent 1932 Vacaville labor strike, among others. My favorite so far is about King, the famous acting dog from Dixon. Thanks for the Top Fan Badge, Solano County Library, and here is your Bumpie (uh, and there was no quid pro quo involved). Tamaiah Massot: It has been daunting trying to keep up with all the Marvel superhero movies that are churned out with increasing rapidity these days. I mean, as soon as I finally made plans to see the kinda new Dr. Strange movie, I discovered a new Thor one is coming out. So that’s why it was doubly refreshing to learn we have a real-life, no CGI needed, bonafide superhero living among us right here in Fairfield. Back on March 30, 12-yearold Public Safety Academy student Tamaiah Massot was walking home from school and

saw a 2-year-old child face down in an apartment swimming pool. She immediately sprang into action by jumping into the pool, pulling the child out and administering CPR. She saved the child’s life. While Tamaiah does not have a blockbuster movie coming out touting her literally lifesaving deed, she was recently honored by the Fairfield Fire Department with the inaugural Citizen Life Saving Award. The ceremony took place at her school, and joining in the kudos were the Fairfield Police Department, Fairfield-Suisun School District trustees and officials from NorthBay Medical Center. I now pile on and award her a 2022 Bumpie. Hopefully, the Tamaiah Massot action figures are arriving in local stores soon.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Senators believe gun talks are starting to inch forward Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of U.S. senators continues to move forward on negotiating limited measures to help prevent mass shootings, though a deal is far from assured, senators involved in the talks from both parties said on Sunday. “There are intensive discussions underway,” Sen. Pat Toomey, Republican of Pennsylvania, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It includes people who have not been engaged on this issue in the past. I certainly can’t guarantee any outcome, but it feels to me like we are closer than we’ve been since I’ve been in the Senate.” Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who along with Texas Republican John Cornyn is leading the bipartisan talks, also said the group is “closer than ever before” to a package of gun measures that can meet the 60-vote threshold needed to overcome a filibuster in the Senate. “As late as last night, we were engaged in conversations,” Murphy said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” though he remains “anxious about failure.” House Democrats have proposed a package of gun legislation that would raise the minimum age to purchase some semiauto-

matic rifles to 21 from 18. There have also been calls for a federal “red flag” law that would allow courts to temporarily take away guns from people because of mental health concerns. Murphy said one focus of the Senate talks is negotiating measures to identify people in the 18to 21-year-old age range that could present a danger and prevent them from acquiring guns. Senators in the group are examining how “to make sure that we aren’t giving a weapon to anybody that has during their younger years a mental health history, a

juvenile record. Often those juvenile records aren’t accessible when they walk into the gun store buying as an adult,” Murphy said. President Joe Biden last week addressed the nation and urged Congress to pass some gun limits after 19 children and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and a racist attack at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, left 10 victims dead. On Wednesday, a gunman killed four people at a medical facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The plan needs adjustment but it will still work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Avoid severe approaches to problem solving. Even the larger problems will be solved with small moves today. Also, note that many things are better regulated than prohibited. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Drawing a hard line with yourself isn’t always the way. If your rules for yourself are causing you stress, consider changing them. The same goes for beliefs. A slight bend could make all the difference. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Attraction will depend not on what you do but how you do it. People who need care will be drawn in by your tenderness, but so will people who just prefer to be treated well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As a person of taste and style, you’re interested in the story of a thing and the deeper aspects of what it does and means. If anyone with money can have it, you’re not that interested.

Today’s birthday Risking with your heart feels dangerous, but fortune favors your spontaneous expressions of love as well as the daily routines that hold your relationships in good stead. Other highlights: the happy conclusion of months of struggle, assets changing into a more useful and liquid form and a team effort that nets a trophy. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 33, 19 and 45.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You want to bring joy to someone. Make no assumptions on the matter. What qualifies as enjoyable to them is not what you would have chosen for yourself. Regardless, if you can make them smile, you’ll be happy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Good manners, common courtesy and conforming to expectations will convey respect. Any breach in this regard will pack more punch than usual, but follow the rules and all goes smoothly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’re skilled at turning negativity around on itself. Instead of thinking you’re not good at a task, you think,

“This one isn’t coming easily, but I’m good at many other things. If it’s worth it, I’ll work on it and improve.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Routines are comfortable; ruts aren’t.

by Phillip Alder to four clubs. This is not Gerber. It is called a splinter bid, which shows four-card or longer heart support, at least game-going values and a low singleton, singleton ace or void in clubs. (Do not splinter with a singleton king.) Now South has no club losers because, if necessary, he can ruff them on the board. So he uses Blackwood to uncover the heart ace, heart king and spade king. Then he signs off in seven hearts. How should the play proceed after West leads the diamond king? The only danger is a 4-0 trump split. If East has all four hearts, declarer is down. But if West has them, South is safe as long as he starts with his trump queen, keeping dummy’s ace and king over West’s jack and 10. Declarer continues with a second trump, winning West’s 10 with the king. He returns to hand with, say, a spade, plays a heart to dummy’s nine, draws West’s last trump and claims. South’s 13 tricks are two spades, five hearts, five diamonds and one club. Note that without the descriptive splinter bid, seven hearts is effectively unbiddable. In the old days, this four-club response showed a weak hand with a l-o-n-g club suit – much less useful and less frequent. COPYRIGHT: 2022, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

White’s LA home sells for $10.6M, $100K over asking Tribune Content Agency It’s a home fit for a Golden Girl. Betty White’s home in Los Angeles sold for $10.6 million, about $100,000 over asking price. The house was listed in April, four months after White’s death, and sold to an anonymous buyer, the Wall Street Journal reported. The exact sale price was $10,678,000. Sotheby’s Realty listed the home in Brentwood Park for $10,575,000. It has about 3,000 square feet, five bedrooms and six full bathrooms. “This property with huge parklike grounds, views of the Getty Museum and mountains has been lovingly cared

for,” reads the listing. “Gated and set back from the street on over ¾ of an acre, the setting is peaceful with flower-filled gardens and old growth trees. This is the first time the property is on the market in over 50 years.” The listing implied that whoever was buying the home would be tearing it down and building a new structure. No one was allowed to tour the interior, and the listing said it was a perfect location “to build your dream home on a flat lot in a serene country setting.” White and her third husband, Allen Ludden, moved into the home in 1968. They also had a property by the beach in Carmel, which sold for $10.7 million in April.

Democratic factions vie for power in Assembly

leadership battle in the California Legislature is a guilty pleasure for those who work in and around the Capitol. A power struggle pits one faction of Democrats against another and, like any family feud, brings out the worst in everyone, rupturing the façade of camaraderie that politicians prefer to present – which is why it’s so much fun to watch. Robert Rivas, an assemblyman from Salinas, touched off such a clash late last month when he met with Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, claimed that he had support from a majority of Democrats and demanded that Rendon step down. Rendon refused, leading Dan Walters Rivas, perhaps foolishly, to publicly declare that he had enough votes to become speaker and claimed to be negotiating with Rendon for a transition. Rendon will be termed out of the Assembly in 2024 and had planned to hand off the speakership sometime next year, in accordance with recent practice. But Rivas didn’t want to wait, so the stage was set for a political duel. Democrats met behind closed doors for hours last week and when they emerged, Rivas and Rendon issued a joint statement that reinstated the façade of camaraderie. Rivas conceded that Rendon would remain in office for the remainder of the legislative session. But what then? Even if Rivas has a majority of the Democrats now, it’s uncertain he will have it after this year’s elections when at least a dozen new Democrats will win seats. Officially, the new and returning Democrats will elect – or re-elect – a speaker when the new session convenes in December. Rivas clearly would like matters to be settled before then, but Rendon just as clearly is in no hurry. Underlying the conflict is a burgeoning ideological clash between progressives and moderates playing out in at least a dozen Assembly districts this year. Progressives, the core of Rivas’ support, have chafed at Rendon’s perceived reluctance to advance an ambitious left-wing agenda – single-payer health care, especially. With Rendon now seemingly secure for at least a few more months, his duel with Rivas will focus even more attention on the progressive/moderate battles in Assembly districts that are opening up because of term limits and the post-census changes in district boundaries. Left-leaning organizations will use the prospect of a Rivas speakership to drum up support for their candidates in those districts while Rivas’ bid for the speakership will give business interests a new impetus to pour money into moderates’ campaigns. Were it to come down to a head-to-head contest in December, with Rendon seeking another term as speaker and Rivas attempting to block him, the handful of Republicans in the Assembly could become the decisive factor if neither man can muster 41 Democratic votes. That’s happened before, most spectacularly in 1980 when two Democrats, Assembly Speaker Leo McCarthy and Assemblyman Howard Berman, waged a very bitter battle for nearly a year – one that ruined friendships and included death threats and clandestine spy operations. Eventually, the McCarthy faction joined forces with Republicans to elect Willie Brown, who became the Assembly’s longest-serving speaker. Simultaneously, but much more quietly, there was a leadership coup in the state Senate. Democrats dumped President Pro Tem James Mills and elevated David Roberti on his promise to protect Democratic seats after Republicans had defeated three Democratic senators. Eight years later, a group of dissident Democrats, dubbed the “Gang of Five,” unsuccessfully attempted to recruit Republican support for ousting Brown. The Rendon-Rivas dustup is the closest we’ve come to an all-out power struggle since those long-ago clashes.

to create the most free, most prosperous and powerful nation on Earth, we have to recommit to taking responsibility for our actions in furtherance of this ideal. We know from history our Founding Fathers were, without exception, highly educated men. So, it’s hardly surprising they should be familiar with those great wisdom works of antiquity referenced earlier. Furthermore, the Founders came from all aspects of a society, which exposed them to many interactions in which they needed to apply critical thinking in everyday life. This common sense was a bedrock of our governing principles, then and now. Our so-called social and news media, educational establishment and the ever-present Democratic Party pushes us to forget our history, traditions, principles and past sacrifices, rejecting what we know from real-life experiences to be true. Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes said, “Man’s mind once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” So, my fellow citizens, let’s remember how to critically think and put common sense to work resisting the Democratic Party and others who oppose these vital concepts. November is coming. Think. Jim McCully is a former chairman of the Solano County Republican Central Committee and former regional vice chairman of the California Republican Party.

actually had a beer with him!” That’s not surprising for a man whose 2018 campaign featured a pledge to reduce minimum prices at the provincial-owned liquor stores and bring back “a buck a beer.” When Toronto was hit by a large snowstorm in January, Ford drove around his neighborhood personally helping stranded motorists dig out their cars and ferry them to appointments. An American version of “Ford Nation” would likely govern considerably to the right. Ontario does not have a long southern border that hundreds of thousands of people try to cross illegally each month. The United States also has cultural conflicts over Big Tech and abortion that are not as pressing in Canada, and the stronger anti-government tradition among American conservatives would also have an effect. Those factors would make a U.S. version of Ford’s campaign more confrontational in tone. And it would offer more red meat to the right, much as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, has done. But American conservatives can learn from Ford’s willingness to shed conservative dogma to bring in new converts. Suburbanites tend to shy away from harsh religious rhetoric. And minorities and working-class voters tend to favor larger levels of government spending than traditional conservatives do. The GOP is sorely mistaken if it thinks it can take these people’s votes and discard their sentiments after the midterms. Ford’s two landslide victories show it is possible to build a new, broadbased conservative majority. Anyone who wants to be the next Republican presidential nominee should take notes.

Prison From Page One according to data provided by attorneys from San Franciscobased Rosen, Bien, Galvan & Grunfeld, which is co-counsel in the Coleman suit. Long before he arrived at Kern Valley State Prison in March of 2020, Collier was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder and anxiety disorder, among others. He had spent five years in Oregon State Hospital and several months in a California state hospital. Prisoners’ rights advocates have long argued that prison is not the right setting for people with serious mental illnesses. For the many who wind up behind bars anyway, Collier’s story poses a critical question: Are frequent transfers a good solution for anyone?

A sensitive child suffers trauma As a child, Collier was sweet-natured and sensitive, a tow-headed boy who made friends easily and loved teddy bears, chess and snuggling with his dog, Jessica, his mother recalled. In his first five years, his family lived off the grid in the mountains near Grants Pass, Oregon. After moving to Santa Cruz for a time, his parents divorced when he was 7. His mother moved Adam and his older brother back to the Portland suburbs. Susan Ottele still has a note Adam carefully printed out for her in wobbly letters during that time: “How was work today? I missed you all day.” A few years later, he brought home a certificate from CF Tigard Elementary School, commending him for being kind-hearted. In middle school, he met a crew of close friends, including his best friend, Anton Engelmann. After Engelmann shared his personal troubles with Collier, Engelmann recalled, Collier regularly brought him home for a meal and a shower. Engelmann said he remembers watching Collier jump up to hug his mother whenever he saw her. But Susan Ottele was gone a lot, too. A single mom, she sometimes worked as many as 18 hours a day. Left to their own devices, Collier and his friends would skip school to egg houses, set off illegal fireworks and smoke pot, Engelmann and other friends recalled. Only much later did his friends and family discover the extent to which Collier had been living a nightmare during those early years. At various points, several different men abused him physically and sexually, according to his mother, friends and prison medical records. That trauma tormented him for the rest of his life. He attempted to kill himself when he was 12 or 13, according to medical records obtained by his mother. He would try again at least seven more times. As the years went by, Collier went on and off psychiatric medications, telling his mother he didn’t like the way they made him feel. He increasingly selfmedicated with street drugs. “The things that happened to him really hurt his head and his heart, and drugs was a good numbing effect and a good distraction, I guess,” said his former girlfriend, Rhapsodee Murray. “But I also think it broke his brain.” In his early 20s, after a stint in jail, Collier met another girlfriend, Miki Cornilles, at a rehabilitation program on a working farm. Cornilles was drawn to his humor and kindness. They eventually moved into an apartment and began using drugs together, she said. Cornilles was troubled by how intensely meth affected Collier. One day, she recalled, his mother brought over a new

Beginning in his 20s, Collier was arrested multiple times in Oregon for exposing himself, the same crime that would eventually land him in prison in California. In Oregon, Collier was found “guilty except for insanity” and sent to Oregon State Hospital for five years in February 2007. While there, Collier underwent surgery to address chronic back pain. Something went wrong – the spinal screws snapped. From then on, according to medical records, Collier lived with intense pain, which compounded his stress. At one point, he pounded the wall of his room in the state hospital so hard he broke his hand. In December 2011, Collier was discharged from the Oregon State Hospital. For a few months, he lived in his mother’s house in McMinnville, a quaint wine country town outside Portland. The next summer, Collier decided to move closer to his father’s family in Santa Cruz. He was ready, he told his mother, to start over.

How the system works – or doesn’t Why did Adam Collier transfer so often? Advocates, inmates and family members contend that, in cases like his, a steady stream of transfers reflects a system that too often fails to adequately care for people in mental health crises. These inmates might bounce between prisons and short-term crisis beds without ever stabilizing enough to get better, they say. For some, the simple fact of being in a prison environment might trigger them to lash out against guards or other inmates. Corrections spokesperson Waters said in a statement that inmates can be transferred for a variety of reasons, including court hearings, medical treatment, mental health treatment, changes in security level, patient safety, staff conflicts, misconduct allegations or parole. Six of California’s 34 prisons don’t have mental health programs, she said, “so patients requiring ongoing mental health care would need to be transferred.” Clinicians “are trained to identify and treat serious mental illness, and tailor care to the individual needs of patients,” Waters stated. Mental health care in California’s prisons is provided along a spectrum, designed to transfer inmates as their level of need changes. Treatments range from outpatient therapy in the general inmate population to long-term hospitalization in dedicated treatment facilities within the correctional system. At the other end of the spectrum are state hospitals, which are separate facilities that also house people who are not in the criminal justice system. Suicidal inmates are supposed to be moved quickly to mental health crisis beds, according to the state’s mental health program guide. The beds are designed for a 10-day stay that can only be extended by

medical officials. But the system doesn’t always work perfectly. Sometimes people who need it aren’t referred to a higher level of care, the Inspector General has determined in several investigations. Sometimes referrals come too late. In 2019, mental health clinicians failed to evaluate acute suicidal risk factors in one inmate after he learned of his mother’s death. They didn’t place him under suicide watch or send him to a mental health crisis bed, according to a report from the Inspector General. Soon after, he killed himself. Adding to these concerns, the state and country face a shortage of mental health providers, which experts say has only worsened during the pandemic. Waters said in an email that the department has robust recruitment and retention programs, which she calls “especially critical.” She said the department routinely assesses the number of mental health crisis beds and inpatient beds to make sure it has enough to meet fluctuating needs. But some say a provider and bed shortage means inmates don’t always get the mental health care they need. “The idea is, ‘How soon can we stabilize them and get them out?’” said Keramet Reiter, a criminology professor at the University of California, Irvine. When inmates repeatedly get into mental health crises and act out or hurt themselves, correctional officers and even prison clinicians often view those actions as manipulative, Reiter and others said. These inmates can then be deemed more dangerous and moved to higher security facilities where people with mental illness are even more vulnerable. Those who are classified as sex offenders, as Collier was due to his indecent exposure charges, have it worst. Even if inmates are extremely sick, state hospitals are often wary of admitting those with high-security levels or histories of bad behavior, said Jessica Winter, an attorney with the Rosen, Bien, Galvan & Grunfeld. Her firm is co-counsel for Coleman, the federal classaction suit on behalf of inmates with serious mental illness. That case has led to important reforms, she and other advocates say, including more oversight of how California’s prisons treat inmates with mental illness than exists in some other states. In theory, transfers can mean the system is working, said Tom Nolan, another attorney at Rosen, Bien, Galvan & Grunfeld. But in Collier’s case, he said: “It’s kind of crazy how much he got transferred around.”

Collier’s start-over plan disintegrates Adam Collier’s plan to start over in Santa Cruz was shortlived. It was 2012, and he was 35 years old when he left Oregon for California. During his first year and a half in Santa Cruz, he was arrested several times for indecent exposure. Under Jessica’s Law, he was required to register as a sex offender and was barred from living many places. He cycled between homeless shelters, the streets and jail. A psychologist who evaluated Collier around that time considered him incompetent to stand trial, saying he was agitated, heard voices, needed medication, and was asking for treatment, according to court records reviewed by CalMatters. On April 29, 2013, Santa Cruz police picked him up for exposing himself in a public place. Collier took a plea deal and was sentenced to two years in prison. Collier served time in San Quentin and was released. His mother looked into bring-

ing him back to Oregon to serve his parole, but said her county wouldn’t allow it. She couldn’t afford the move to California, though she said she contemplated coming anyway and living in her car. Within weeks, he was arrested again in Monterey and sent to jail. The next year, the cycle repeated. But this time, he was sentenced to five years in prison. That’s when Susan Ottele started tracking her son’s movements. On March 12, 2016, according to her notes, Adam Collier arrived at North Kern State Prison. His first transfer, to California Medical Facility in Vacaville, took place a month later. His second, back to North Kern, was the month after that. Reiter of UC Irvine calls what happened to Collier – bouncing between crisis units and state hospitals and seven different prisons – “a very sad and very unsurprising story.” There’s even a term for it, she said: “Diesel therapy” refers to moving challenging inmates around to keep them from wearing out staff in any given facility. “It absolutely happens often,” she said. In a February 2017 letter to his mother, Adam Collier said he believed he was sometimes moved as punishment for his behavior. Collier did lash out at prison staff, sometimes dangerously. CalMatters’ review of nearly 600 pages of his prison medical records from 2020, shared by his mother, shows he was written up multiple times for spitting, fighting and battery against prison staff. At one point, he was moved to segregated housing after attacking several prison guards. “You are deemed a threat to the safety and security of this institution, its staff and inmates,” wrote the prison lieutenant who authorized that move. Such circumstances can be taxing for all involved. “Staff work in the same conditions that incarcerated people live in,” said Margot Mendelson of the Prison Law Office. “Really toxic environments are toxic for everyone.”

Inmates describe multiple transfers For a year, CalMatters monitored the statistical evidence of thousands of people being shuffled around the prison system. Without state data, as CalMatters requested, the full extent of these relocations over time is unknown. Several inmates who moved at least five times in the last year told CalMatters the constant transfers prevented them from establishing relationships with therapists. With every transfer, they said, they often lost their few possessions. They were shocked that someone outside the system even noticed. “It makes my mental health worse,” said Steven Saucedo, 48, who has transferred at least eight times since last June, including relocations to attend court, CalMatters data shows. “You’re always on the move.” Cedrick Johnson, 61, said he didn’t start moving until he was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few decades ago. He’s been incarcerated since the 1980s. “(Transfers) are a great problem,” he said, sighing. “We talk to different doctors all the time. . . . It doesn’t make you better at all.” Johnson said he has transferred at least seven or eight times since last June; CalMatters has documented eight moves to five facilities in less than a year. Randall Shrout, an Amador County public defender who represented Collier in a 2018 case, said frequent transfers are common among his clients, many of whom come through Mule Creek State

Prison in Ione. “You’ve got Adam’s name, and there are hundreds of others,” he said. “I can go through 10 years of records and find you mental health cases where they bounced them all over the state.” Jennifer Hoff, whose 29-year-old son has suffered from serious mental illness since he was a young child, said he has been in at least nine different prisons, and has transferred numerous times in the past decade. “It’s meant to grind you to dust,” she said. Her son, Matthew, has schizophrenia. He was charged with terrorism in 2012 at age 19, his mother said, after he walked, unarmed and off his medication, into a bank and passed a sticky note to the teller threatening to blow himself up if they didn’t give him $1,000. In prison, he has repeatedly harmed himself, including carving up his face with a needle, she said. Some years he has been transferred between facilities nearly a dozen times, she said. Each time requires him – and his family – to start over with new staff and new routines. “You can’t possibly keep up with the transfers,” she said. “How engaged can you possibly be in a system that’s meant to make you go away completely?” ‘I guess this is my lot’ Every day for four years, Susan Ottele would log onto her computer to check on her son’s whereabouts. She kept a list of the various prisons’ phone numbers. Every time he moved, she called all the numbers on the new facility’s phone tree until she knew how to reach someone if something went wrong.

Something always went wrong She felt a growing sense of helplessness. “It’s like being strapped to a chair watching your child being tortured,” she said. “Once you get in the prison system, there isn’t much you can do.” Collier wrote to his mother, often complaining about back pain that drove him to tears. “I guess this is my lot,” he wrote from North Kern State Prison in May 2016. “See why heroin and vodka seems appealing?” At times, he sprinkled in words of reassurance, along with updates on his sobriety: “Please don’t worry about me.” “I’m not suicidal.” Trying to get him help, Susan Ottele penned certified letters in loopy cursive begging prison wardens to give her son Tylenol and heating pads. “Adam’s pain management is crucial to his mental + physical health,” she wrote. “Allowing him to suffer needlessly is neglectful and a form of torture to say the least.” In February 2017, Adam Collier attempted suicide again. He was sent to California Health Care Facility, Stockton and then to Atascadero State Hospital for three months. He did well there, his mother said, but was returned to Valley State Prison in Chowchilla in late June. From there, things unraveled. With a parole hearing approaching, he told his mother he was afraid of being sent back out to live on the streets. He slapped a prison guard. He was transferred again. And again. And again. The following year, in January 2018, he was accused of threatening and kicking a prison guard at Mule Creek State Prison, and was ordered into solitary confinement. In an appeal, Collier wrote that multiple guards had handcuffed him and beaten him until he was unconscious. Susan Ottele wrote to the warden, who replied that the staff’s actions were in compliance with the department’s use of force policy.

Oversight weak, documentation ‘lax’ Susan Ottele filed several complaints with the independent Office of the Inspector General about Collier’s medical care at Mule Creek and the alleged use of force. The oversight body is known for scathing public reports about prison misconduct. That’s about all it can do. In 2011, lawmakers stripped the office of its authority to investigate prison employee misconduct, effectively leaving the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to police itself. Last year, legislative staff recommended the inspector general’s authority be reinstated. It wasn’t. CalMatters analyzed 372 critical incident case summaries from the office since 2018. Of 67 inmate suicides reviewed by the inspector general, 81% percent were determined to be “poorly” handled by the state. Among those suicides, CalMatters identified 38 where the office dinged state mental health professionals for not referring inmates to a higher level of care, keeping lax documentation or returning people to their housing units despite increased mental health symptoms, among other things. Over the years, Adam Collier’s letters were often punctuated with allegations of brutality and victimization: a cellmate he said knocked him unconscious, prison guards sodomizing him with a baton. His medical records, meanwhile, describe him acting out against guards, spitting at them or hitting them with his cane. For a while, he went on a hunger strike.

During his time in prison, Collier was prescribed at least 19 different psychiatric medications. He would take them for a while, his mother said, then stop due to the side effects. By 2019, he began sending her long screeds praying for plagues to rain down on the United States, along with lists of elaborate burial wishes: the broken screws in his back should be removed upon his cremation and placed in the parking lot of the Oregon State Hospital; his ashes should be scattered in Santa Cruz Harbor at 4:30 a.m. His medical records describe him cutting himself in order to “burn my blood for my God.” The records also mention him asking for more consistent mental health treatment. That July, he again attempted to kill himself. A month later, he tried to castrate himself. He begged his mother to help him get mental health care. “I believe good ol’ ‘Job’ did his best,” he wrote in one letter, referring to the Biblical character who is tormented to test his faith in God. “Patience hath an end.” “Feed kitties treats 4 me,” he added.

Covid slips into the prisons On March 11, 2020, according to his mother’s notes, Adam Collier transferred one last time. Kern Valley State Prison, a maximum-security facility 40 miles northwest of Bakersfield, is one of six prisons named in a motion in a federal class action lawsuit alleging correctional officer abuse of people with disabilities. In a 2020 report to the Legislature, it was listed as having among the highest annual average suicides, due to being a

high-security facility that houses and treats inmates with severe and chronic mental health and behavior problems. Inmates there, said Margot Mendelson, of the Prison Law Office, “live in terror.” Around the time of Collier’s arrival, the country’s first Covid-19 cases were popping up in Northern California. Soon, with prisons buckling under massive outbreaks, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order temporarily halting transfers. Collier hated it at Kern Valley. During those first months of the pandemic, he described to his mother how isolated and depressed he felt, too terrified of prison guards and other inmates to leave his cell. On one piece of lined paper, he scrawled a single sentence: “I loosing it mom.” He was 43 years old then, and walking with a cane. His body was etched with scars from various attempts to kill himself. On May 22, 2020, he tried again. A week later, he told the psychologist who interviewed him that he had done so because he was high on meth and afraid of retribution for an unpaid drug debt, his medical records show. He asked to be sent to a state hospital or into solitary confinement for his own protection. Byrhonda Lyons is a national award-winning video journalist for CalMatters.

NBA Finals at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Sunday. Curry scored 29 points in the 107-88 win.

Curry leads electric third quarter as Warriors even up NBA Finals Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry led Golden State to another electric third quarter outburst Sunday night in front of a sold-out Chase Center crowd. But unlike their embarrassing collapse in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Warriors held strong and fended off the Celtics in Game 2 for a 107-88 win. Curry scored 14 of his 29 points in the third, helping the Warriors outscore the Celtics 35-14 to take a 23-point lead heading into the final 12 minutes.

After coughing up a double-digit fourth quarter lead in Game 1 in an epic fourth quarter meltdown, the Warriors were able to sustain their third quarter momentum on Sunday, cruising throughout a comfortable fourth to tie the series 1-1. The Celtics hit backto-back 3-pointers with 4:32 remaining in the third quarter to pull within six of the Warriors, but that was the closest they would get to Golden State for the rest of the game. Curry nailed two 3-pointers during an 11-0 run that extended the Warriors’ lead to

79-62 with 1:54 left in the third quarter. A poor first half performance kept Jordan Poole out of the game until the last 1:19 of the third quarter, but he made the most of that final 79 seconds. Poole handed out an assist on a Kevon Looney layup and hit two 3-pointers, including a highlight worthy pull-up shot from 39-feet to beat the buzzer. Poole finished with five 3-pointers and 17 points off the bench. Boston made five straight shots to start the game, including a pair of 3-pointers, to

jump out to a nine-point lead, but the Celtics’ sharpshooting went cold and the Warriors held a 52-50 advantage at halftime. Poole emerged in the second half, but Andrew Wiggins finished with 11 points and Klay Thompson had a postseason low 11 on what was a shoddy night of shooting for the two starters. Meanwhile, Gary Payton II made his return after being out for a month with a broken elbow. He took turns guarding Jayson Tatum, who finished with a teamhigh 28 points

MIAMI — Donovan Walton. Jakob Junis. Had you heard of them before they became Giants this season? Two more onceobscure acquisitions have become households names in San Francisco, cementing themselves amongst the lore of Farhan Zaidi-era players such as LaMonte Wade Jr., Mike Yastrzemski and Darin Ruf. A grand slam from Walton and another stellar start by Junis delivered a 5-1 win over the Marlins on Sunday to secure a .500 record on the 10-game road trip. With a fourth-inning grand slam, Walton shed the nickname Donnie Doubles in favor of a Walton Wallop. His first home run with the Giants – and the first grand slam of his career – traveled 421 feet to right field and was all the offense the Giants needed behind yet another impressive performance from Junis.

Tribune Content Agency PARIS — Rafael Nadal claimed the 14th French Open title of his astonishing career and vowed he would "keep fighting" to earn even more success. There had been speculation during this Roland Garros fortnight that Nadal could retire if he landed the trophy, a record-extending 22nd men's singles grand slam. Yet the 36-year-old, who has won two majors this year despite being hampered by a long-bothersome foot problem, is determined to play on until his body refuses. He thrashed Casper Ruud 6-3, 6-3, 6-0, reigning in Paris once again, some 17 years after his first triumph. Watched by the king of Spain, Felipe VI, Nadal was again sensational on the red clay, becoming the

oldest champion. "For me personally, it is very difficult to describe the feelings that I have," Nadal said. "I for sure never believed I'd be here at 36 being competitive again, playing in the most important court of my career once again. It means a lot of energy to try to keep going." Nadal told the crowd: "It's unbelievable to play here with your support. I don't know what can happen in the future, but I'm going to keep fighting to try to keep going." Addressing Ruud, Norway's first men's grand slam singles finalist, Nadal said: "I want to congratulate you for an amazing career you are having, and this two weeks is a very important step forward, so I am very, very happy for you and for all your family.

With every passing start, Junis, who signed a $1.75 million freeagent contract this offseason after toiling for five years in Kansas City, is becoming less of a revelation and more of a permanent and valuable asset in the Giants rotation. On Sunday, he limited the Marlins to a single hit before Garrett Cooper spoiled the shutout with a home run in the sixth inning. He finished six innings while allowing just the lone run and striking out a season-high eight batters, lowering his ERA to a rotation-best 2.51.

OAKLAND — The Athletics limped out of town Sunday hoping things will get better away from the Coliseum. It can’t get any worse. A 5-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox Sunday before a crowd of 12,084 closed out a 1-9 homestand against Texas, Houston and the Red Sox. That came after their previous 2-5 homestand, which came before an 0-6 homestand that ended on May 4. That’s 3-20 in their last three home series, as opposed to the A’s record of 13-13 on the road for an overall record of 20-36. Boston, which got six innings from 42-year-old left-hander Rich HIll, improved to 27-27 in completing a three-game sweep. Rafael Devers homered for Boston leading off the eighth against A.J Puk, his 11th, and Franchy Cordero hit a three-run home

Montas threw 104 pitches, 72 for strikes, with a walk and seven strikeouts. Hill (2-3) retired 16 straight batters from the first until the seventh when Jed Lowrie singled to right, prompting Alex Cora to replace the veteran with John Schrieber. The A’s eventually worked the bases loaded, but Schreiber struck out Kevin Smith to get out of the inning. Tyler Danish pitched the eighth and Ryan Brasier the ninth for the Red Sox. The A’s got a run against Brasier on a two-out RBI single from Tony Kemp.

Even with that bogey on 18, Lee won in a four-shot romp Sunday, not her first major but her first Women’s Open, and the newest member of an exclusive club that so far includes only legends. Lee, at 26, is at the beginning of her career, unlike Annika Sorenstam and Karrie Webb and Cristie Kerr when they won at

Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club. Her runaway this week certainly suggests she can follow in their footsteps. “I’m sure this is not the last time she’s in contention in majors and is the one hoisting a trophy, as well,” Lydia Ko said. Lee came into the week hot off a win, rolled through the first three rounds to set the Women’s Open 54-hole

scoring record, started Sunday with a threestroke lead over Mina Harigae – who was at Duke for a hot minute in the fall of 2008 before turning pro – and opened with a pair of birdies to remove whatever drama might still have been left. Her round was hardly perfect, with several close encounters with the wiregrass, but even par was more than enough to

remain in total control on a day when the wind whistled through the pines and the greens baked in the sun and the rest of the field went backward in a hurry. Only two players finished the day under par, and even Lee wasn’t one of them. Harigae never really threatened and Ko might have, if she’d converted any of her several birdie tries on the front nine, and Hyejin Choi

made a run, but no one ever got too close to Lee for comfort.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ cruised to box office heights; will more summer movies take flight?

DAILY REPUBLIC — Monday, June 6, 2022 B3

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency The success of "Top Gun: Maverick" has lifted hopes for a robust summer box office, after the long-awaited sequel generated $160 million in North American ticket sales over its Memorial Day weekend premiere. The airborne action blockbuster's debut had been teed up as a do-or-die moment for moviegoing, with 59-year-old actor and producer Tom Cruise returning to the Navy aviator franchise after 36 years, seemingly on a quest to save the big screen experience through sheer force of will. "There should be a shrine to Tom Cruise in every movie theater," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. The prayer among theater owners and studio executives is that the enthusiasm about "Top Gun: Maverick," from Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media, will spur momentum for a run of big-budget Hollywood films looking to capture audiences' attention during the key summer period. Universal Pictures' "Jurassic World: Dominion," Disney and Pixar's "Toy Story" spinoff "Lightyear" and Marvel Studios' "Thor: Love and Thunder" are among the films looking to buoy a comeback for a theatrical market that has been slowly working its way to health since the Covid-19 pandemic. The summer months, in normal times accounting for some 40% of annual domestic grosses, will show whether "Top Gun: Maverick" is part of a trend or whether its exceptional reception among critics and audiences made it an outlier. Ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada so far this year remain about 40% lower than the same period in 2019, according to Comscore. Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence expect full-year receipts to reach $7.5 billion, which would be a nearly 70% increase from last year but still down 34% from the pre-pandemic levels of $11.4 billion. The industry may be facing a box office market where, as in an elite Navy fighter pilot school, only the best will succeed. Any whiff of mediocrity and you're grounded. "Quality is the differentiator in getting people to go the movies right now," said Chris Aronson, head of domestic distribution for Paramount Pictures. On those grounds, "Top Gun: Maverick" clearly made the cut, with an outstanding 97% "fresh" score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes and an A-plus audience rating from polling firm Cinemascore. It showed that older audi-

Fiftyfive percent of the opening weekend audience was over 35, reflecting the broad appeal. With strong word-of-mouth, some analysts are estimating that "Top Gun: Maverick" could gross around $70 million during its second weekend, which would be an unusually small decline of 45% from its threeday opening. Others predict a steeper drop of about 55%. On the flip side, Focus Features' "Downton Abbey: A New Era" had strong reviews but lacked a must-see urgency, opening with $16 million in ticket sales, about half the debut tally of its hit predecessor. The divergent results illustrate a dynamic of the unpredictable cinema market. Movies are an increasingly winners-take-all business where the box office is dominated by a handful of massive blockbusters, leaving room for little else. That trend was well underway before the pandemic but accelerated because of the disruption wrought by the virus. The market share taken by the weekly No. 1 films, calculated on a trailing 52-week basis, crossed 50% for the first time, according to a report this week from Cowen & Co. media analyst Doug Creutz. Before the pandemic, the average share for the top weekly films was roughly 35% to 40%. A decade ago, the No. 1 movies took up around 30% of total ticket sales. This "unprecedented level of concentration" is "symptomatic of a theatrical exhibition industry which is now almost completely dependent on a few big blockbusters," Creutz wrote. "Ultimately we do not think it is healthy for exhibition to be this dependent on superhero films and sequels to beloved 36-year-old movies that miraculously earn 96 Rotten Tomatoes scores." The thin release schedule is the result of studios postponing debuts because of pandemicrelated production delays and sending some movies to streaming services. Thus, the slate

this year has featured some big hits, such as "The Batman" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," followed by significant lulls. "We're still feeling the ripple effects of all these release date changes," Dergarabedian said. "It threw the whole calendar out of whack." The market may become less lopsided as studios start to release new movies at a steadier clip. After the new "Jurassic World" and "Lightyear" comes Illumination Entertainment's computer animated comedy prequel "Minions: The Rise of Gru" on July 1, followed by Jordan Peele's mysterious thriller "Nope" later that month. "It's been a lot of startand-stop," said Sean Gamble, president and chief executive of movie theater chain Cinemark Holdings. "As we get into the summer, for the first time we're going to have more of a regular cadence of movies coming out every week. There needs to be that steady stream." But also, the lackluster business reflects a dearth of nonfranchise movies in the elusive "middle" – those with budgets greater than the cheap horror films and less than the star-studded sci-fi action-adventures. Superhero franchises still make gargantuan sums at multiplexes. Animated movies have been successful, as have some horror films. Other genres remain in question. Those types of pictures, including teen comedies and rom-coms, have mostly become the domain of streaming services such as Netflix, Apple TV+ and HBO Max. Competition from streaming has created a stark division between movies that must be seen on the big screen and those that can be enjoyed while folding laundry. Studios at April's CinemaCon in Las Vegas promised diverse slates to appeal to all audiences, but their presentations for cinema owners nonetheless focused on the big-brand characters and comic book labels viewers already know.

responds one spade? Despite the weak trumps, the North hand is now worth game. (Yes, in support-point terms the hand contains just 17: 15 high-card points and 2 shortage points for the singleton, but the hand has only five losers: three spades, one heart and one club. That makes it worth game. Edgar Kaplan’s 4Cs method rates the hand at 18.25 points.) However, rather than raise directly to four spades, North should jump to four clubs, which is a splinter bid showing game values in spades with at least four trumps and a singleton (or void) in clubs. (A singleton is seven times more likely than a void.) Now South knows that he has no club losers because, if necessary, he can ruff his two low cards on the board.

FAIRFIELD — The future sometimes is bleak and unforgiving, in “Crimes of the Future,” where Viggo Mortensen plays a character who is in a new reality that sees the human race adapts to a synthetic environment. The body undergoes transformations and mutations leading to questions about our existence. Jurassic world comes to its conclusion in “Jurassic World Dominion,” coming out this week in local theaters. The dinosaurs have survived after the destruction of Isla Nublar. The safety of everyone is in question with the rise of the ancient creatures. Opening nationwide are: “Crimes of the Future,” in which Caprice (Léa Seydoux) and Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), celebrity performance artists, publicly showcase the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances in a world where synthetic life is evolving. Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements and finds out a mysterious group is using Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution. The film is rated R. “Jurassic World Dominion,” unites two generations or characters for the first time after the end of Isla Nublar. The cast includes Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard who are joined by Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill. From Jurassic World architect and director Colin Trevorrow, Dominion takes

place four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed. Dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures. The film is rated PG-13. Opening in limited release is: “I’m Charlie Walker,” which based on a true story. Mike Colter stars as trucking and construction entrepreneur Charlie Walker. Two oil tankers collided off the San Francisco Coast in 1971, spilling millions of gallons of crude oil and creating an environmental disaster. Against all odds, Walker was able to secure one of the most lucrative contracts to clean the coastline that threatened much of the San Francisco Bay. With only three trucks, an incredible work ethic and a whole lot of heart, the film recounts the racial discrimination Walker endured as he tried to save the coastline, all while fighting institutional racism from the very company that hired him in the first place. The film is not rated. For information on Edwards Cinemas in Fairfield, visit www. regmovies.com/ theatres/regal-edwardsfairfield-imax. For Vacaville showtimes, visit www.brendentheatres.com.

California will test digital driver’s licenses IS PERSONAL INFO AT RISK?

Tribune Content Agency

re Californians ready for yet another new version of the driver’s license? The last one – called “Real ID” – went over about as well as CNN+. As of April, less than half of the state’s drivers had obtained one, even though Californians will need a Real ID or a passport to get on a plane or enter a federal building in a year. The tepid reaction may stem from the fact that these IDs offer no new benefits to drivers, just another time-consuming obligation. Now the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles is planning to test a version called a mobile driver’s license or digital ID – an identity-verifying credential stored on your smartphone. And unlike Real ID, a mobile license could give you more control over your personal information, although critics say a poorly designed system would threaten your privacy. Louisiana, Colorado and Arizona already have rolled out mobile licenses, and Utah is testing them. Other countries, including Germany and New Zealand, are also creating digital identity systems. Yet the technology is still in its early days, experts say, with some key pieces unfinished. Here’s a rundown of how mobile licenses would work, the benefits they could provide and the potential drawbacks.

What’s the point? Eric Jorgensen, director of Arizona’s Motor Vehicle Division, said in a recent interview that the goal is to improve security, privacy and convenience. “It’s not about balancing one against the other,” he said. “It’s an attempt to make all three of those better.” The easiest way to understand the push for change, though, is to consider the problems with conventional driver’s licenses. The 9/11 terrorists used fraudulently obtained state IDs to board the planes they hijacked, putting an exclamation point on the vulnerabilities of physical ID cards. That day’s events prompted the federal government to pass the Real ID Act in 2005, which set higher standards for how licenses were designed and issued. The goal was to deter the cards from being counterfeited or obtained by people who were not legal residents. Real ID was no panacea, however. While the watermarks and other design features were hard to copy, they were also hard for the untrained eye to recognize. You almost have to be a security expert to detect them, Jorgensen said. And like all physical IDs, conventional licenses are not much help when it comes to verifying your identity on the internet. They’re not useless – see, for example, how ID.me uses licenses and smartphone cameras to verify identities online. But you have to jump through a lot of hoops on the web to prove that the ID card you’re using actually belongs to you, and the process is still vulnerable to scamming. Another problem with

Kent Nishimura/Los Angeles Times/TNS

Californians will need a Real ID or a passport to get on a plane or enter a federal building in a year. physical ID cards is that they can share too much information. When that creepy bouncer at the nightclub door demands proof that you’re old enough to enter, you can’t just show him the birthdate on your license. You have to show him the whole thing, revealing your name and address in the process. Ugh. (And as Jorgensen points out, nothing stops the bouncer from taking pictures of every license shown at the door.) In addition, the information laminated into permanence on a physical ID is not, itself, permanently accurate. And nothing on the card will signal that it has incorrect information; the only way to verify details like your current name and address is to access the DMV’s database. And finally, even a counterfeit-proof, updated ID card can’t confirm that the hand holding it belongs to the person who obtained it. There’s information on the card that a cashier or clerk can check against a person’s physical appearance, but that’s hardly a foolproof system of verification.

How would a mobile license be different? The shortcomings of driver’s licenses are part of a larger problem with how people go about answering the question “Who are you?” It’s an even bigger challenge online, where identity theft has risen sharply over the past decade. The need for something more secure than ID cards and the ubiquitous login-password combo has inspired numerous companies and inter-industry groups, such as the Better Identity Coalition and the Fast Identity Online Alliance, to promote more reliable ways to verify identity. In response, the tech world is steadily shifting toward solutions based on “multi-factor authentication.” A password is one factor – something only you know. An ID card is a single factor too – something you have. Multi-factor authentication is some combination of something you know, something you have and something you are, such as a fingerprint or facial scan. That’s the approach taken by a mobile driver’s license app. It uses the biometric capabilities of

your smartphone (something you are) to tie your mobile driver’s license or ID to your device (something you have). For certain uses, you could even require a passcode (something you know). Proponents of mobile driver’s licenses say a system built around the technical standard published last year by the International Organization for Standardization addresses all of the shortcomings of a physical license. One caveat is that the ISO standard just covers in-person use at the moment; the standards for online use are still in development. Imagine, just for example, you’re trying to enter that nightclub with the creepy bouncer: n You can decide whether to let him check your mobile license – he can’t do so without your permission. And you don’t have to hand the bouncer your phone to display your ID; your license app will exchange information wirelessly with his device. n You control which pieces of information from your license to share and which to keep concealed. Also, the license app is able to answer some yes/no questions, so it can reveal whether you are old enough to enter without telling the bouncer your birthdate. n The way the system is designed, none of the information you disclose will be stored by the bouncer’s device. n The mobile license is easier for the bouncer to check too. Instead of him scrutinizing your physical license for watermarks or other anti-counterfeiting features, his device will use cryptographic techniques to confirm that your license is authentic. n Leave your phone at the bar after overindulging? The mobile license is more theft-resistant than its physical counterpart, thanks to the biometric controls on your phone. Plus, if your phone is lost, you can tell the DMV to revoke your mobile license, rendering it inoperable – in sharp contrast to a revoked physical license, which looks no different than a valid one. n But let’s say a thief somehow manages to unlock your phone and your mobile license, then tries to rent a car with the license before you revoke it. When the thief shares the mobile license data with an agent

at the counter, the picture stored with it will be transmitted electronically to the agent’s device so he or she can compare it with the person pretending to be you. n One other benefit: When you change your address, you can update your information immediately. Similarly, if your driving privileges are suspended or revoked, the digital license would immediately reflect that, yet it would continue to function as an ID. The two states first out of the gate with mobile license apps – Louisiana and Colorado – acted before the ISO standard was complete, limiting their licenses’ interoperability. At this point, Colorado’s app is accepted by that state’s agencies and police officers, and Louisiana’s works with government agencies, state liquor stores and other app users. To enable broader use of mobile licenses, the American Assn. of Motor Vehicle Administrators, a trade group of DMV officials from across the country, has issued guidelines for mobile driver’s licenses built around the ISO standard. And in keeping with a 2020 law, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is working on ways to verify IDs electronically, using the same standard. The Transportation Security Administration has started supporting standards-based mobile licenses in Apple’s wallet app. At selected airports, Arizona residents with a mobile license from the state can pass through a TSA screening with a single tap of their device, Jorgensen said. State agencies in Arizona are also starting to accept its mobile driver’s license to verify applicants for other state licenses and services, Jorgensen said, adding that retailers and banks have also expressed interest in how they can implement the technology. In the program’s first year, he said, about 320,000 Arizona residents had downloaded the mobile license app, and since March about 60,000 had put their mobile ID into an Apple wallet. (The state has more than 5.3 million licensed drivers.) Vittorio Bertocci of Okta, whose technology helps businesses verify identities, said that after

two decades working on identity issues, “probably for the first time, I see that the standards and the technology are mature enough to give a good base, a good foundation” for mobile ID. “And I see the desire, the investment, from governments,” said Bertocci, who is a principal architect at the company.

So what could go wrong? The fact that there is an international standard doesn’t mean every country is using it. Although the U.S. is building around the standard, Bertocci said that European countries are taking a different approach. Companies like Okta can provide ways to bridge the differences so digital ID systems can interoperate, he said, but that sort of arrangement may not be universally accepted. Nor does everyone have a smartphone or tablet. That’s why every mobile license rolled out in the U.S. so far has been a complement to a physical ID, not a replacement for it. More fundamentally, the notion of shifting IDs from physical to digital is troubling to some privacy advocates. Among other things, they’re worried that companies and governments will find a way to use digital licenses to track your movements and learn something about your personal life. Granted, you leave a digital trail when you use your credit card or smartphone to pay for things away from home. But with a driver’s license on a card and a bunch of cash in your wallet, you can go about your business in relative anonymity. Bill Lamoreaux, a spokesman for Arizona’s Motor Vehicle Division, said those concerns are being addressed by the people developing and implementing mobile licenses. “Mobile ID, as implemented, is device to device,” Lamoreaux said. In other words, the device checking your ID doesn’t connect to the DMV, so it can’t track you. “As the issuing authority, we do not know when or where these are used, as is the case with a physical, plastic license or ID.” Still, Alexis Hancock, director of engineering for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said the stan-

dard for digital licenses includes a way for the app to stay in touch with the agency that issued it, and “it doesn’t really effectively address how to limit this.” Jeremy Grant, coordinator of the Better Identity Coalition, said some government officials, especially those in law enforcement, would love to use digital licenses for tracking. And the consequences could be severe: Imagine, Grant said, if licenses could report when a woman went to an out-of-state abortion clinic. But that kind of tracking can’t happen in a properly designed system, he said. Each mobile license will come with the state’s encrypted digital signature. When you share information from your license, the verifying device only checks to see whether the digital signature is valid – if so, your ID and the data on it are valid. “They can get a yes/no answer without the state knowing it was you,” Grant said. Beyond that, a standards-based mobile license doesn’t transmit a unique identifier when it shares its data. So again, there are no electronic footprints to connect the mobile ID used at nightclub X or brewery Y to the person to whom it belonged. Before moving forward with mobile licenses, Hancock said, governments need to work through a number of issues that could be raised by putting IDs on smartphones filled with sensitive personal information. For example, she said, what happens if a traffic cop or TSA agent demands that you hand over your unlocked phone for an ID check, even though they can get the information they need from your mobile license without you doing so? What safeguards are there against your phone being unlawfully searched? Some privacy advocates want to spread out the storage of ID data online, using blockchain or other distributed ledger technology, rather than having it centralized in one state database. Each piece of a person’s identity information – name, birthdate, address, picture, etc. – would be stored separately so it could be checked independently of the others. That would reduce the risk of a massive data leak while also ensuring that the government keeps no record of where and when the digital IDs are used. The decentralized approach, known as verifiable credentials, is being explored by the Canadian province of British Columbia and a coalition of groups across Canada. A bill by state Sen. Bob Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys), SB 1190, would require California by Jan. 1, 2024, to “provide industry standards and best practices” regarding the issuance of verifiable credentials for individuals and businesses. Grant said his group doesn’t have a position on the technical question of how ID credentials are stored, just that the arrangement needs to preserve privacy and be secure.

Daily Republic - Monday, June 6, 2022

Paying extra for premium gas? You should stop

manager at the Automobile Club of Southern California and the AAA. And pay close attention to the language. “Unless your vehicle manufacturer says premium is required – not recommended,butrequired–we’ve found no advantage to using premium fuel,” Shupe said. If it says “recommended,” you can ignore the recommendation and pocket the 30 to 50 cents

per gallon you’d be saving. Spending more doesn’t buy any benefit in horsepower, fuel economy or emissions, Shupe said. Depending on how much you drive, the switch can save several hundred dollars a year. With the average price of a gallon of regular now above $6 in California, that’s money that could go to food or rent. What does “premium” even mean? That gaso-

line grade is laced with an extra dose of hydrocarbon molecules called octane. In a high-compression engine, heavy pressure can squeeze the fuel-air mixture so tight and hot that some fuel combusts before it should. That leads to uneven explosive forces, which can vibrate engine parts unnecessarily. The extra octane helps the fuel burn more evenly. In California, premium gas is labeled 91 octane, midgrade is 89, and regular is 87. All are unleaded. The results of AAA’s octane tests have become widely accepted. So why would a carmaker recommend premium when it’s not needed? One reason may be the belief by many customers that premium, required or not, boosts engine performance. For a manufacturer seeking to support a luxury car’s high sticker price with claims of similarly high performance, the association might not hurt. In fact, some higherend models from the likes of Audi and BMW have a sensor that can tell if gasoline is premium or regular, according to Jil

libertarian advocates of the verified credentials approach want to remove the government completely from the identity business. They would have people certify themselves, albeit in some verifiable way. The steep challenge for this group, Grant said, is persuading banks, government agencies and others to accept “self-sovereign” claims, rather than those backed by a DMV or other government agency.

with a timeline and cost estimate for the pilot project. At this point, the department is still talking to multiple vendors about possible approaches, with no date set for the launch of any pilots, the department said in an email. The department declined to say how it would respond to the concerns expressed by privacy advocates. But the authorizing legislation, which lawmakers tucked into a 2021-22 budget trailer bill, laid out a number of mandatory protections for people taking part in the trial, including: n No forced participation. Only volunteers will be included in the trial, which is limited to 0.5% of the state’s licensed drivers, or about 135,000 people.

n No tracking or data mining by your app. Your digital license or ID card and the corresponding mobile app are barred from collecting or holding any information beyond what’s needed to perform their stated functions, “including, but not limited to, any information related to movement or location.” n No sneaky license checks. Before your mobile ID app responds to any request for information, you would have to approve the release of any amount of information. n No warrantless searches. You cannot be forced to hand over your device in order to verify your ID, nor do you consent to having your device searched if you use it to verify your ID. n No extra data pro-

Tribune Content Agency You love your car. You want to treat it well. You certainly don’t want to do anything that would damage it. That’s why you’ve been filling it with premium gasoline all these years. But with prices up above $7 a gallon, you’ve started to wonder: Does my car really need the good stuff? Can I just switch to regular? Or should I compromise and buy midgrade? Answers: Probably no, probably yes and almost definitely not. Confused? Don’t worry, you’re in good company. Many years of research at the American Automobile Assn.’s Los Angeles fuels laboratory has shown that if your car requires premium, you should keep using premium and suck up the cost. But thanks to a mix of clever marketing and quirky consumer psychology, some 16.5 million U.S. drivers fill their cars with premium when regular would work just as well, according to AAA. Think you might be one of them? Check your owner’s manual, advises Doug Shupe, program

License From Page B5 personal view, he said, is that the blockchain approaches “introduce some very complicated ways to manage identity and privacy that will overwhelm the average consumer,” such as requiring people to “manage a different private [cryptographic] key for every data point about them.” He added, “You can preserve privacy and avoid tracking with technologies that do not require blockchain, and that are easier to implement, easier for people to use, and that scale better.” Some of the most

High gas prices continue at a 76 station off Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Angeles, May 31.

What is California doing? State lawmakers authorized the DMV last year to do a trial run with mobile driver’s licenses and ID cards, giving the department a year to come up

McIntosh at Autotrader, and adjust the engine accordingly. The AAA lab didn’t test the pluses or minuses of midgrade fuel. That could be because there aren’t many benefits to speak of, except for gas industry profit margins. (The exception is older cars with engine knock, which can potentially benefit from midgrade gas.) The middle choice is an artifact from the days when unleaded gasoline began showing up as an alternative to gasoline containing lead. Gas stations needed three pumps to sell leaded regular, unleaded regular and unleaded premium. After leaded gas was phased out beginning in the 1990s, midgrade was a way to make use of the third pump. Midgrade makes up a tiny fraction of retail gasoline sales. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, about 88% of gas sold in the U.S. is regular, 11% premium, and the rest midgrade. If midgrade customers are trading up from regular, whether they need it or not, that

pump provides fatter profit margins. When premium customers trade down, profit margins are squeezed. One thing all gasoline buyers should look for if they’re seeking performance and longer engine life, according to Shupe: an indication that a gas station is selling “Top Tier” fuel. Often there will be a label on the pump. Most major brands do; many minor brands do as well. Any grade of gasoline – regular, midgrade, premium – can be Top Tier. Such gasoline is processed with additives that reduce carbon buildup and is tested by an independent group to verify the formulation. Tests show such fuel improves performance and extends engine life. Brand names such as Chevron’s Techron and Shell’s V-Power are Top Tier, for instance, though they’re not always designated that way. Those fuels cost more than gas at deep-discount stations that don’t sell Top Tier gas, but the AAA suggests that the extra few cents are worth it.

vided. The information that can be released by the app is limited to what’s on your physical driver’s license or ID card. Ultimately, the success of a mobile license will depend on how widely it’s adopted – not just by drivers, but by anyone who asks for your ID. There’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, Jorgensen said, because there’s not much incentive for companies to build apps that support mobile IDs if few people are using them, and states and their residents won’t have much incentive to adopt mobile IDs if there aren’t many places that accept them. Yet there are plenty of other factors driving interest in digital IDs among state governments and businesses, particularly

national ones. And millions of Americans have already gotten a taste of how their smartphones can be used to verify personal details – they’ve been using them over the past year to prove their vaccination status. There’s a long way still to go on mobile driver’s licenses, though, with basic questions still to be answered about where identity credentials will be stored and how identity will be verified online. At the current pace, Grant said, it will take 10 to 15 years for mobile IDs to get to critical mass. Californians is likely to have access to one well before that. But the DMV is the agency in charge of this effort, so a long wait time would be on brand.

Powers holds Scoreboard BASKETBALL off Rossi to win HOCKEY the Detroit GP NHL Playoffs NBA Playoffs Finals

Conference Finals

Tribune Content Agency DETROIT — Will Power was putting on a dominating performance in the final IndyCar race on Belle Isle’s 13-turn, 2.3-mile street course Sunday afternoon, leading the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix by 16 seconds after returning from his final pit stop with 20 laps remaining. The only question was could Power hold on to the lead in his No. 12 Chevrolet for Team Penske? Power did, defeating Alexander Rossi who was driving the No. 27 Honda for Andretti Autosport by one second for his first win of the season and third on Belle Isle, matching the record three wins on the island by his former teammate Helio Castroneves and Scott Dixon of Ganassi Racing. The win marked the end of racing on the island as the prix will return to downtown

Detroit next year. It had been on Belle Isle since 1992. “Getting in the fountain was really rewarding," Power said of celebrating by taking a dive in the island's historic James Scott Memorial Fountain. "I can’t believe it actually happened because I knew it was the last race, what are the chances. I lost the chance last year (finishing Race No. 2 in sixth). I thought the chance of it happening again is pretty slim, especially after qualifying (16th). "You can never give up. Never give up. Yeah, I was really excited to obviously win this race after last year. Had my eye on it for quite a while.” Dixon finished third, followed by pole-sitter and Team Penske driver Josef Newgarden and Pato O’Ward of Arrow McLaren.

Thairo Estrada, another player plucked from the waiver wire before last season, reached base three times and swiped the first bases – two of them – the Giants have stolen in 15 games, the longest active streak without a stolen base in the majors entering Sunday. He scored on Walton’s grand slam. Jason Vosler, a former Padre signed in Zaidi’s second offseason, also singled and scored on Walton’s grand slam, after homering the previous two nights. In 51 at-bats this season, he’s batting .294/.362/.569, a .931 OPS. The Giants have needed every contribution they can get as they navigate a season that, so far, has been marred by injuries and other absences.

Belt, Steven Duggar and Anthony DeSclafani, while Evan Longoria and Tommy La Stella have also missed significant chunks of time. “I don’t think it’s any secret that we’ve been a little bit challenged by not having many of those players,” manager Gabe Kapler said before Sunday’s game. Joc Pederson, who received his first day off of the road trip on Sunday, echoed Kapler’s comments after the Giants exploded for 15 runs on Friday night. “Those guys are huge, key pieces to this team that make us go,” he said. “I feel like we’ve played down kind of the whole year. . . . We really haven’t had our whole lineup, which is able to put people in the best position to succeed. I think that’s when we’re really firing on all cylinders. Right now, we’re just doing a good job of getting by, but we’re still not even playing to where our standard is.” The good news is that many of those players are due back in the near future, possibly as soon as the upcoming home stand. There’s a chance Alex Cobb makes his next start after being scratched with back/hamstring

whether it’s the atmosphere or just plain luck, this tournament here has had a knack for identifying some of the biggest names at the peak of their careers, delivering the kind of champions whose names resonate throughout history. “People ask why Pine Needles? Why four times?” USGA executive director Mike Whan said Sunday.

tightness Friday; he threw from about 75 feet on Saturday. Belt (right knee inflammation) has begun running and already resumed hitting while staying back in San Francisco on this trip. Wade (left knee inflammation) is running, hitting and throwing, too. Duggar (oblique strain) embarked on a rehab assignment this week. Ruf’s time on the bereavement list, following the surprise death of his father, expires Thursday. “We’ve got some reinforcements coming,” Kapler said, naming DeSclafani (right ankle inflammation) and Matthew Boyd (flexor tendon surgery) as potential additions to the rotation over the next month. Both pitchers have been throwing bullpens while the team is on the road. Even with the contributions from Vosler, Walton and Luis González (who returned to the lineup Sunday after exiting Friday’s game with a bruised shin he suffered on a hit-bypitch), the Giants return home likely wishing they capitalized on a stretch of the schedule that featured three teams with records below .500, one of which (the Phillies) fired their manager shortly after the Giants left town.

“Because it creates great champions.” That’s not as easy as it sounds. Pinehurst followed up Payne Stewart’s unforgettable U.S. Open win with the eminently forgettable Michael Campbell and Martin Kaymer (but struck golf gold with Michelle Wie in the second half of the dual Opens in 2014), but Pine Needles’ first three

Women’s Opens delivered three memorable winners in an 11-year span. Sorenstam, of course, is the gold standard. Back this week for a sentimental reunion as Senior Open champion, repeating as Open champion in 1996 cemented her position atop the game, her second of 10 majors in a 12-year span, may never bee matched in the game.

left Montas in the game. Montas’ very next pitch was launched by Cordero for a three-run home run. Boston came in leading the majors in extra base hits, but attacked Montas with a singular approach in the first inning. The Red Sox had four singles from Jarren Duncan, Kiki Hernandez, Devers and Verdugo. Only Devers” drove in a run, however, but Montas wound up throwing 30 pitches – 22 for strikes. The A’s, by contrast, tied the score 1-1 in the bottom of the first with two doubles – one by Chad Pinder and another from Laureano with two outs. The dilemma of hitting against Hill was on display when Seth Brown led off the second inning. Hill threw five pitches coming in at 68, 66.8, 67.4, 69 and 69.6 miles per hour – and Brown exited the box after striking out looking.

From Page B1 Cordero’s three-run home run in the sixth saddled Montas with three unearned runs and a 4-1 deficit. In what was Montas’ first high-traffic inning since the opening frame, he walked Devers and then Xander Bogaerts reached after it was ruled a throw from third baseman Kevin Smith pulled Seth Brown off the bag at first base on a grounder. The A’s challenged the call – and it indeed looked like Brown may have had his foot on the base – but the call from first base Alex Tosi stood. Montas then got Alex Verdugo to fly to right and Trevor Story to pop to second. Manager Mark Kotsay visited the mound, but

Nadal From Page B1 went through in terms of injuries. If I don't have a great support from the team – family, everybody that has been next to me – nothing of this would be possible because I would be retired much before, so many, many thanks for everything." As Nadal considers whether he could push for a calendar grand slam by targeting Wimbledon

and the US Open, Ruud will reflect on a tough first grand slam final experience. Ruud idolized Nadal from a young age and in recent years has trained at the Spaniard's Mallorca academy. Runner-up Ruud said: "The first thing and the most important thing is to congratulate Rafa. It's your 14th time here, a 22nd all-around in grand slams. At that point, the crowd bellowed "Ruuuuudddd."
