Voters send Abrams, Ferrara back for new terms Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Voters apparently like the job their district attorney and sheriff have done.

The 10:20 p.m. update by the Solano County Registrar of Voters Office showed District Attorney Krishna Abrams and SheriffCoroner Tom Ferrara jumped out to commanding leads early and were carrying their advantages throughout the night.

Abrams was challenged for the seat by her chief deputy, Sharon Henry. Abrams led the vote count with 24,794 votes, ABRAMS or 61.18% of the vote, according to unofficial results published by the county Elections Office reported.

Henry had 15,733 votes, representing 38.82% of the ballots cast, the county reported.

Daryl Snedeker, in his second attempt to oust Ferrara, trailed big, with the incumbent earning FERRERA 70.48% of the vote, with Snedeker at 29.52%, the Elections Office reported. The

Solano supports Newsom, Padilla in low turnout June primary Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The June primary failed to inspire Solano County voters to cast their ballots, and for those who did, there was little motivation to change existing leadership.

The Registrar of Voters Office reported that somewhere around 25% to 26% of the 260,348-plus registered voters cast ballots. There were 7,000 inperson voters Tuesday and John Gardner, assistant registrar of voters, said quite a few voters dropped off their mail-in ballots at the precincts.

The results at 10:20 p.m. showed that Solano still supports Gavin Newsom for governor, after also defeating the failed recall effort, and Alex Padilla as

FAIRFIELD — Early election night results indicate Suisun City Councilwoman Wanda Williams and Fairfield Councilman Chuck Timm are headed for a November runoff for Jim Spering’s 3rd District seat on the Solano County Board of Supervisors.

The 10:20 p.m. update by the Registrar of Voters Office shows Williams leading the ballot count with 33.19% of the vote, with Timm garnering 29.19% of the voter choice. Neither is likely to have a simple majority to carry the victory outright.

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Supervisor John Vasquez said his agenda heading into his fifth, four-year term looks a lot like 2018 – including being flexible enough to respond to situations that have not revealed themselves yet.

FAIRFIELD — The real game is in November for the 11th Assembly District and the 4th, 7th and 8th Congressional districts that got a kind of ballotbox rehearsal Tuesday.

Still, Wilson received an early vote of confidence at the very least with 67.17% of the Solano County vote, the Elections Office reported at 10:20 p.m. Districtwide, with 4.4% of the precincts

Wilson received 28,294 votes districtwide and 27,707 in Solano County. Callison had 13,542 votes (32.83%) in Solano and 12,202 (30.1%) See Races, Page A5

of Supervisors meeting Tuesday, also said the county is getting close to having a wildfire plan.

“I think we are close to an agreement with the fire districts and the fire chiefs,” Vasquez said.

He also is more hopeful than he was four years ago that county and city cooperation will lead to improving the homeless situation in the county, “and housing in particular.”

He credited the work of Supervisor Jim Spering, who will be leaving office at the end

of the year, and Supervisor Mitch Mashburn, who is in the middle of his second year on the board.

Those supervisors have pushed forward an agenda initiated by a committee of city representatives, but with a focus on reconfiguring CAP Solano and its authority over regional homeless issues.

In hindsight, Billy

was most likely suffering from undiagnosed autism, which, combined with years of educational neglect, resulted in him performing at about the fourth grade level academically. Then there was 11th-grader Marsha Knoll, who could barely read and struggled with simple arithmetic. In those days, she was classified as “educable mentally retarded.” Since she outperformed the other educable mentally retarded students, she was placed in the educational learning handicapped class.

My entire class consisted of cases like these.

The care, attention and educational resources available for millions of America’s special needs children either didn’t exist or were woefully inadequate in the early 1970s. Since the onset of America’s public education system in the early 1800s, children with special needs and disabilities were commonly marginalized in their schools or often denied access to public schooling altogether.

However during the 1960s and 1970s the blossoming civil rights movement evoked an avalanche of local, state and federal court cases challenging schools and educational systems that failed to provide appropriate educational services to children with special needs.

Today, special education laws and services guarantee a “free and appropriate public education” for each eligible special needs child in America, regardless of disability type or level of severity.

Since the adoption of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act in 1975, millions of children previously denied access to public schools have been provided a wide variety of special education services funded through a combination of local school districts and other related state and federal programs. Today, approximately 15% (7.5 million) of all public school students receive special education services.

By 1976 I was a full-time

social studies teacher, but how I received my first teaching job in special education would never happen today.

Today, all 50 states have instituted rigorous standards and criteria for the preparation and employment of special education teachers.

Most important, millions of special needs children who in years past would have been marginalized by the public school system now receive a free and appropriate education, and a significant number go on to lead productive lives. Finally, the World Bank estimates the cost of educating special needs children yields a return-oninvestment two to three times greater than that for non-special needs children. Now that’s impressive.

Last night, in a rare mood, I decided to make a Boston cream pie. Never mind why. I just wanted one. As you may know, it’s actually a cake. I found a recipe online: Bake one layer of a cake, split it in half, fill it with custard, put the halves back together and cover it with chocolate sauce.

Sounds easy, huh? You also have to make the

custard and chocolate sauce. I did it all in about three hours, thinking “this thing better be good.”

After it chilled, I cut two slices, one each for my husband and me.

It was pretty good. Not great. My husband said he liked it, but he’s learned not to complain.

The cake was dry. It looked a little like cornbread. Suddenly, I knew what to do. I cut two more slices, one for each of us. But this time, before serving, I crumbled them up a bit and drizzled them with milk. And “pretty good” got a lot better.

My dad would’ve loved it. Maybe not as much as he loved cornbread in buttermilk. But he’d be proud I remembered what he taught me.

Life is like cooking. We can’t make everything the way we want it to be. But we can make the best of what we’re given.

The next time I want a Boston cream pie?

I’ll buy one.

State, Solano not following latest Future of county CDC masking recommendations economy remains Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a recommendation that Bay Area counties – including Solano – should again ask residents to mask up for indoor public places.

“Alameda has enacted a masking mandate for indoor spaces, but to my knowledge, no one else has,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, said in a phone interview Monday.

He said there are no plans to issue a mandate or recommendation for mask use in Solano County.

Matyas said the CDC is still using the color-status system, with Solano’s case numbers putting it into the red category.

He said the state, however, has long shifted away from the color system and is focused more on the severity of outcomes of those who test positive rather than just the number of new cases.

The county on Monday

That is an increase in the rate of the disease, and likely the result of Memorial Day weekend activities, Matyas said.

“I don’t think it is a surprise to see a bump after a holiday,” Matyas said.

But Matyas noted there were no new deaths to report, holding that number at 426, and there were fewer residents in the area hospitals with positive tests – 28 Monday compared to 32 Thursday.

There were four patients in the intensive care units, one more than in the previous update.

Overall, though, Matyas said the latest version of the omicron virus continues to show

mild outcomes.

Fairfield added 296 new coronavirus cases to take the city’s total to 24,776. Vallejo added 319 cases for a new count of 28,019. Vacaville is at 23,473 after 232 new cases since Thursday, the county reported.

Suisun City (6,530) added 89 new cases; Dixon (4,615) added 29; Benicia (3,599) added 40; Rio Vista (1,298) added 19; and there were no new cases reported for the unincorporated area of the county, keeping that case count at 204, the county update states.

Vaccination rates continue to hold at 74% for residents 5 or older who have been fully vaccinated and 83% for those who have received at least one shot. There have been 169,635 booster shots administered, the county reported.

The number of children 5 to 11 who have received a vaccine shot is at 12,952, representing 39.9% of that population, the county reported.

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County is still recovering from a recession and a pandemic, and faces additional pressures from the drought, inflation and geopolitical forces that leave the view into the future a bit cloudy.

EYLER Economist Robert Eyler, president of Economic Forensics and Analytics in Petaluma and an economics professor at California State University, Sonoma, told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that gas prices

have nowhere to go but up – to as much as $8 per gallon in San Francisco and other Bay Area counties – and area residents and commuters should expect them to stay there.

He also called the rising costs nothing more than a profit grab behind the economic structure of supply and demand, and what could happen in the global market, especially given the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

But Eyler came short of forecasting another recession for the state See Cloudy, Page A4

companies try to force employees working from home back into their offices, Eyler said.

For Solano residents who had been commuting to other counties for higher-paying jobs, the additional cost of gas may make it more financially viable for them to find local jobs – even lowerpaying jobs – than to continue their commutes.

Eyler noted the Solano County workforce, in April, was at 97% of the level it was in January 2020, just before the pandemic. He said one of the biggest issues facing the county will be workforce transition, especially those looking to change careers.

Still, the index offered a hopeful path for Solano.

“Solano County’s unemployment rate fell toward pre-pandemic levels to 5.4% as

“The pandemic’s impacts remain in our county, throughout California and across the United States.

Optimism from the ‘reopening’ of our economy in 2021 came with more inflation pressure and continued struggles against new Covid-19 variants. Geopolitical issues cloud the economic picture to 2025,” the 2021 report states.

Inflation is hitting the lower- and middle-income households hardest, and gas prices could have a definite impact on the job market, especially if

2021 ended; in April 2020, unemployment surged to 15.7% when the pandemic’s grip was first felt.

Some of Solano County’s residents have left the labor force, including some that moved away.

In 2021, the California Department of Finance estimated that Solano County lost 2,723 residents,” the index states.

“However, with all that change, housing prices continued to increase throughout Solano County in 2021; median home prices increased to almost $600,000. Solano County’s communities are gaining incomes and becoming more educated, but with a rising cost of living.

Countywide efforts for economic development, linked with workforce development, continues to move Solano forward.”

n Poverty rates among Solano County residents fell in 2020 (the latest data), based on five-year averages, to approximately 9.1% of residents. n Regional cost of living increased in Solano County by 1.6% in 2019 (the latest data), slower than the state and national averages.

Solano County’s agriculture industry, which represented a $357.12 million gross value in 2020, is slumping due in large part to the drought, but also access to global markets due to Covid-19. The 2019 value was $372.11 million, the county reported in its annual Crop and Livestock Report.

Other troubling trends, due greatly to the pandemic, include a drop in the high school gradua-

tion rate in 2020, although it was better than the state overall. The report states 85.8% of high school seniors graduated in 202021, down from 86.9% in 2019-20. The state rate for those periods were 83.6% and slightly more than 84% the previous year.

Eyler said there are economists who believe the rate of housing price increases will slow.

“In 2021, the median housing price increased 21.6%, to $592,500; housing affordability in Solano County decreased for the second year in a row,” the report states. “As of March 2022, the price of housing was forecast to increase approximately 13.6% in Solano County through March 2023.”

How that will affect the construction industry is unknown, but it could help the rental market.

Dec. 18, 1930 — May 15, 2022

Susan Grotheer Lippstreu passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on May 15, 2022, after a courageous battle with congestive heart failure.

Susan Lippstreu was the daughter of Lloyd Andrews Grotheer and Dorothy Campbell Grotheer, longtime residents of Suisun Valley.

Susan’s grandparents, George Campbell and Ella Mae Robinson Campbell, August Grotheer and Jane Andrews Grotheer, also lived in Suisun Valley. The Campbells and the Grotheers were all farmers in Suisun Valley starting in the 1880s.

Susan went 1st-8th grade at Suisun Valley School. She graduated as class valedictorian from Armijo High School in 1948. She went on to receive her bachelor’s degree in education and teaching credential from Stanford University in 1952.

Susan married Ed Lippstreu in 1954. They had four children, Bruce (Jenel), Lynn, Carol and Jill (Brian). Susan was blessed with three grandchildren, Ryan and Logan Wagner and Parker Green.

Susan had four careers. She taught 4th grade at Fairfield Elementary School. She raised four beautiful children. She worked for her own business with her husband Ed at Lippstreu Realty. She was a 4th generation farmer in Suisun Valley where her roots ran deep for the love of farming, so in 1983 when her father passed away, she continued the farming tradition at Grotheer Ranch.

Susan loved to play bridge with her friends. She played golf at Green Valley Country Club where she served as the Women’s Golf Captain in 1972. She was a longtime member of The Open Book Club and Wednesday Club of Suisun. She was appointed by the Solano County Board of Supervisors as a charter member of the Agricultural Advisory Board where she served 14 years as a director. She was a proud member of Farm Bureau and served as a director for over 20 years. Her years as a 4-H leader brought much joy to her as well.

Susan was also appointed by the Supervisors of the Suisun Fire Protection District to serve as a Commissioner for the Fire Protection District. Susan was so proud of our volunteer fire department, and she appreciated all their care in her final years.

Susan was an incredible woman. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and a friend. Susan was loved by all who knew her, and she will never be forgotten.

Susan is survived by her four children; and three grandchildren.

Susan is preceded in death by her great-grandparents; grandparents; husband, Ed; and her brother, Lloyd Andrews Grotheer Jr. Visitation with family will be held at 10 a.m. with funeral service at 11 a.m. Thursday, June 16, 2022, at the Methodist Church, 1875 Fairfield Ave., Fairfield. Burial will follow about 12:15 p.m. at Rockville Cemetery, 4219 Suisun Valley Road, Fairfield. A lunch reception at 1:30 p.m. at Green Valley Country Club, 35 Country Club Drive, Fairfield, is open to all. Join us to celebrate the life of an amazing woman.

At Susan’s request and in lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Suisun Fire Protection District, 445 Jackson St., Fairfield, CA 94533 or Community United Methodist Church, 1875 Fairfield Ave., Fairfield, CA 94533.

They had a family home at the Tahoe-Donner Golf Course in Truckee. They enjoyed a lot of great times here with family and friends.

Rita always had a love of art. It was a dream of hers to someday take painting lessons and learn what she could upon retirement. She was determined to find an art teacher. After 10 years of lessons and struggles, she found a wonderful outlet for her creative side. She took many workshops and lessons from artists in the Bay Area and from the North Lake Tahoe art center.

Her favorite subjects were flowers and landscapes, working with oils, watercolors and some acrylics. Her only regret was that she waited too long to start her life as an artist. She loved to learn and create.

She was a member of AAUW-American Association of University Women, retired teachers’ association and the Wednesday Club.

Rita is survived by her loving husband, Kenneth; two children, David Perkins from Sparks, Nevada, and Ann Pettit from Chico, California; three grandsons, Keith, Kyle and Tanner; and one great-granddaughter, Harmony.

She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Vera Miser; sister, Carol; and brother, George Robert.

A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, June 10, 2022, at Bryan-Braker Funeral Home, 1850 W. Texas St., Fairfield. Burial will be at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery, Dixon, California, at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association, 225 N. Michigan Ave., Fl. 17, Chicago, IL 60601.

WINTERS — Volunteers collected 353 pounds of trash and recyclables Saturday as part of World Environment Day at Lake Berryessa.

“World Environment Day, led by the United Nations Environment Programme since 1973, is held every year to build global and political awareness of environmental issues while supporting individual and community projects around the world,” according to a statement released by the Solano Resource Conservation District, which hosted the event.

The volunteers then gathered at Lake Solano for a picnic lunch.

JUNE PRIMARY

Races From Page One districtwide, the county and state election offices had reported.

Longtime Reps. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, and John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, showed they still hold a strong grip on local voters even when the districts are redrawn.

Thompson was still playing in his home field with Napa County still a big part of the new 4th District. However, the district includes the north half of Solano County rather than the Vallejo and Benicia area Thompson had been representing.

With 37.8% of the precinct reporting, Thompson had garnered 69.1% of the primary vote, 52.7% in Solano, and will face Republican Matt Brock in a November runoff. Brock collected 11,942 votes, 4,418 in Solano (29.73%), or 15.2% for the district, the county and state returns show.

Garamendi does not live in the newly drawn 8th Congressional District. By law, he only needs to live in the state.

His campaign early on indicated the veteran politician planned to move into the district, but that did not happen. It did not make a difference to the voters Tuesday, who gave Garamendi a resounding endorsement with 65% of the vote. In November, he will face Republican Rudy Recile of Vacaville, who received 20% of the vote.

Garamendi had 17,430 votes in Solano County (62.3%). Recile had 6,986 votes (24.97%), the county Elections Office reported.

“I am deeply grateful and humbled by this vote of confidence from the voters in Contra Costa and Solano counties,” Garamendi said late Tuesday in a prepared statement.

“This decisive victory

creates strong momentum for the general election on Nov. 8 and gives us an opportunity to continue the critically important work that’s before us.

“When I announced my re-election bid to Congress in California’s 8th Congressional District, I vowed to never stop fighting for working families across our community. As I reflect on our victory in tonight’s primary election, I am filled with unyielding hope and determination to carry out the important work to best serve Solano and Contra Costa counties,” Garamendi added in the statement.

Similarly, veteran Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, captured the support of the handful of Solano County voters in the new 7th Congressional District. Matsui, according to the state Secretary of State’s unofficial results, held a convincing lead districtwide, too.

Matsui led with 66.5% of the vote districtwide with the state reporting 99.3% of the precincts counted. Republican Max Semenenko was second with 26% of the vote, the state reported.

In Solano County, Samenenko actually captured eight votes to Matsui’s three, the county Election Office reported at 10:20 p.m.

Ted Gaines, a Republican and the sitting member of the state Board of Equalization, representing the 1st District – which includes Solano County – had taken the early and convincing lead in Solano and districtwide with 291,970 votes after 50.3% of the precincts had been counted.

That represented 50.3% of all ballots cast. In Solano County, Gaines had 16,404 votes (38.98%).

The next closest candidate was Democrat Jose S. Altamirano with 137,259 votes (23.6%), the state reported. Altamirano had 12,190 votes in Solano County (28.96%).

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, June 8, 2022 A5

Progressive San Francisco D.A. Boudin headed toward recall Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — In early returns from Tuesday’s recall election, beleaguered District Attorney Chesa Boudin appeared to be on the brink of losing his job.

San Francisco voters whose ballots had been tallied as of 9 p.m.

Tuesday heavily leaned toward ousting the 41-year-old from the office he has held since January 2020, with 61% supporting the recall. The San Francisco Chronicle called the election Tuesday night.

The bitter, expensive recall election has become a referendum on some of San Francisco’s most painfully visible social problems, including homelessness, property crime and drug addiction.

The recall campaign has painted Boudin as a soft-on-crime prosecutor who doesn’t care about public safety. It has tied his criminal reform policies to a wave of highprofile crimes, including a fatal hit-and-run involving a man on parole, a series of smash-and-grab robberies from high-end

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin looks on during a news conference in San Francisco, May 10.

Union Square stores and a wave of attacks against elderly Asian American residents.

“Safe is not a word I’d use to describe San Francisco,” said Raj Marwari, 40, who lives in the Marina District and works in finance. He said he voted to recall Boudin because “obviously, things have gotten worse in every way,” including homelessness.

He said he’s embarrassed when his parents from Texas visit the city.

Removing Boudin from office won’t solve everything, Marwari said,

The longest serving elected official is Charles

but “when the player’s doing bad, you’ve got to pull ‘em.”

Property and violent crimes fell by doubledigit percentages during Boudin’s first two years in office. But some individual categories of crime surged in the same time frame: Burglaries rose 47%; motor vehicle theft, 36%. Homicides also increased, though the city saw its lowest number of killings in more than a half-century in 2019.

Like other prosecutors in the nationwide movement to reimagine the criminal justice system, Boudin ran on a platform to reduce mass incarceration and divert low-level offenders into drug and mental health treatment instead of jail cells.

His loss could have national implications, including for Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon, who is facing his second recall attempt in two years.

During his 21/2-year tenure as San Francisco’s top prosecutor, Boudin has refused to seek the death penalty or try juveniles as adults. He has significantly reduced Lomeli, who will be serving in his sixth term as county treasurer-tax collector-county clerk.

Also getting free passes into new terms are Auditor-Controller Phyllis Taynton, starting her second term, and Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderson, who was appointed in 2017 and will be starting her second full term as well.

the use of sentencing enhancements. A San Francisco police officer stood trial for excessive force this year for the first time, though the officer, Terrance Stangle, was acquitted.

Boudin and his supporters fanned out across the city Tuesday, stopping in the Mission, the Castro and Balboa Park to speak with voters and hand out pamphlets urging a “no” vote on the recall, known as Proposition H. As he campaigned along Divisadero Street in a neighborhood known as NoPa (North of the Panhandle), Boudin said he was “feeling great.”

Michael Wald, 81, a retired Stanford law professor, voted to keep Boudin in office. Recalls “are a very bad way of addressing public policy” and should be reserved for candidates who have done something unethical or illegal, he said.

“Crime is a part of life,” said Wald, whose home was burglarized last year. “What I want is the city to adopt policies that make it less likely to get into crime in the first place.”

Eight judges also earned new six-year terms uncontested.

They are Daniel J. Healy (Department 2); E. Bradley Nelson (Department 4); Tim P. Kam (Department 7); Christine Donovan (Department 10); Donna L. Stashyn (Department 18); Alesia Jones (Department 22); John B. Ellis (Department 23); and Janice Williams (Department 25).

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

There’s much that concerns you that you can do nothing about, and spending your energy there is, of course, a waste. As you focus on the things you have the ability to change, more will fall into the category.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Since having too much to do makes it hard to do any of it exceptionally well, you’ll take a step back to survey the scene objectively and figure out what to cut. You won’t miss it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You have a gift for seeing what’s possible. Don’t get too carried away, though. Potential is something to nurture and believe in but not something to bank on or date.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’re in the role for a reason.

If you feel like an imposter, that’s actually a sign that you belong there. It’s the people who are overly sure of themselves who make big mistakes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ll give your admiration without elevating anyone on a pedestal. It’s much easier to work and play when everyone is on the ground together – equal but different.

Daily Cryptoquotes

I have lived with my oldest son and his family twice, for months at a time, both times to help out when they had a lapse in child care. It only worked because we all knew it was temporary. Both my son and his wife had worked and lived with other people as roommates for years, so they were used to dealing with different personalities and approaches. They both have tremendous communication skills, and we have always been very close and open with each other.

I personally had to turn down a friend who needed longterm housing – not because I didn’t love her, but because I DID and wanted it to stay that way. I have no doubt our friendship would have ended had she moved into my home. It was a hard and seemingly hardhearted decision that gave us five more years of laughter, tears and memories until she passed away.

We choose many people in our lives as friends and also acquire more family members along the road of life. There are many people we can love and appreciate, but there are very few we can live with. — Love Them Enough to Say No Dear Love Them Enough to Say No: Thank you for telling us of your experience. Boundaries and communication are everything.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

A congruent domestic life allows you to do good work in the professional sector, and when things are going well at work, home life is better. Life rings out with the harmony of these sectors.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When you give a project over to the group, you’re not sure what will happen with it, and that’s part of the excitement.

You work alone for predictable results. You work with others to achieve exponential results.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Just because you can fit yourself into a situation doesn’t mean you belong there.

Consider how you really feel around certain people. The best fits feel like hope, curiosity and excitement.

THE SINGLE PIECE OF GOOD NEWS George S. Kaufman, who, inter alia, wrote some musicals for the Marx Brothers, said, “I understand your new play is full of single entendre.”

In today’s deal, North should sing loudly about a single feature of his hand. After he opens one diamond and South responds one spade, what should North rebid?

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder North’s hand is worth game, but there is a better bid than four spades.

He should jump to four clubs. This is a splinter bid showing four-card spade support, game-going values and a singleton (or void) in clubs – nearperfect!

Suddenly, South sees that he has no club losers. He might jump straight to six spades, but perhaps he should content himself with five spades, which North ought to raise with such good red suits – South must have excellent trumps to be slamming without all of those red honors.

How did declarer plan the play after West led the spade jack?

South saw that he needed trumps to be 3-2 and to have some luck in the red suits. However, there were transportation difficulties, and he did not want to rely on a red-suit finesse.

Declarer spotted a surprisingly good line. He won the first trick with the spade ace, cashed the club ace and ruffed a club. The next card he called for surprised everyone at the table, particularly East: dummy’s diamond 10. East took this with his queen and returned a second trump, but declarer won in his hand, ruffed another club, cashed the top hearts, ruffed a heart, drew West’s last trump and claimed. He took four spades, two hearts, three diamonds, one club and two club ruffs.

Carey sued over ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ Tribune Content Agency Mariah Carey is being sued for copyright infringement related to her smash single “All I Want for Christmas Is You” by Andy Stone, the man who wrote another Christmas hit with the same title. But his fight for at least $20 million in damages is likely an uphill battle, according to one entertainment attorney.

Stone, who performs under the name Vince Vance, alleges that Carey’s song – which has gone platinum multiple times all over the world – is “a derivative work based” on a Christmas song of the same name he wrote and recorded in 1989. His attorney reached out to

the defendants in December 2021, the lawsuit said, but was “unable to come to any agreement” about the continued publication of Carey’s 1994 song.

The Vince Vance & the Valiants version of “All I Want” received “extensive airplay during the 1993 Christmas season” and “began making appearances on the Billboard charts” that year, said the lawsuit, which was obtained by The Times. What Stone is claiming to be the relationship between the two songs is unclear. Carey’s tune is an upbeat pop number, while Stone’s is a low-key country song.

Stone’s lawsuit says the performer “personally requested” that Carey cease and desist publication of her song.

Actor Matthew McConaughey holds an image of Alithia Ramirez, 10, who was killed in the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, as he speaks during the White House daily press briefing, Tuesday.

Karine Jean-Pierre, who said the actor wanted to use his platform to deliver a message about common-sense gun measures.

The actor’s appearance reflected how the killing at the Texas elementary school, with its shocking number of young victims, has seized the country’s attention.

McConaughey, a household name from such movies as “Dazed and Confused” and “Dallas Buyers Club,” is not a political figure, but he flirted last year with running for governor of Texas, finally announcing in November that he had decided against it.

“As a simple kid born in the little town of Uvalde, Texas, it never occurred to me that I would one day be considered for political leadership,” McConaughey said in a video at the time, adding that he would seek other ways to make a difference.

McConaughey gave few indications of his political leanings as he considered a campaign, saying at one point that he was more of a “folksy and philosopher poet statesman” than a politician.

He did say that he would not mandate vaccinating young children against the coronavirus and that his own two youngest hadn’t been immunized.

On Tuesday, he presented himself as a small-town Texan and gun owner who was introduced early to firearms but who supports responsible gun ownership and takes issue with those who misuse the Second Amendment.

Lawmakers, he said, have a window of opportunity now to pass meaningful gun-control measures. The actor called for the creation of a waiting period for purchasing AR-15 rifles, as well as for raising the minimum age for purchasing that type of weapon to 21. He also called for universal background checks and “red flag” laws.

Gun responsibility, he said, is something most Americans “agree on more than we don’t.”

“This should be a nonpartisan issue,” McConaughey said. “That should not be a partisan issue. There is not a Democratic or Republican value in one single act of these shooters.”

The actor told reporters that his mother taught kindergarten less than a mile from Robb Elementary School, the scene of the shooting. Uvalde, he said, is the town where he “learned responsible gun ownership.”

Going back to his hometown in the wake of the shooting, he said,

was shocking.

“You could feel the pain, the denial, the disillusion, anger, blame, sadness, loss of lives, dreams halted,” he said.

McConaughey also showed artifacts from the slain children, including a drawing made by one of the victims, Alithia Ramirez, 10, who had visions of going to art school in Paris, showing herself along with a friend looking down on her from heaven. Another of the little girls killed, Maite Rodriguez, who was also 10, wanted to be a marine biologist, McConaughey recalled.

“Maite cared for the environment so strongly that, when the city asked her mother if they could release some balloons into the sky in her memory, her mother said ‘Oh no, Maite wouldn’t want to litter,’” he said.

Maite, McConaughey said, wore green hightop Converse shoes “with a heart she had handdrawn on the right toe, because they represented her love of nature.” Alves, sitting nearby McConaughey in the briefing room, showed a pair of the shoes.

“These are the same green Converse on her feet that turned out to be the only clear evidence that could identify her after the shooting,” McConaughey said.

Actor Matthew McConaughey, a native of Uvalde, Texas, urged lawmakers to act on gun control Tuesday in impassioned remarks delivered in a surprise appearance on the White House briefing room’s podium, adding another twist in the tumultuous debate over firearms that has roiled Washington in the wake of several mass shootings.

McConaughey emotionally told the stories of the 19 children and two teachers killed by a shooter at an elementary school in the small South Texas city on May 24. He said he and his wife, Camila Alves, spent most of past week with the victims’ families in his hometown.

“You know what every one of these parents wanted, what they asked us for? What every parent separately expressed in their own way to Camila and me? That they want their children’s dreams to live on,” McConaughey said. “They want to make their loss of life matter.”

The actor then called on lawmakers in Washington to take action on gun control as they try to forge a bipartisan congressional response to recent mass shootings. Expectations for a quick deal were fading Tuesday, even as those involved in the talks remained hopeful about the chances for an eventual agreement.

“Responsible gun owners are fed up with the Second Amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals,” McConaughey said.

“These regulations are not a step back. They’re a step forward for civil society and the Second Amendment.”

McConaughey and Alves spent Tuesday morning on Capitol Hill, meeting with Republican and Democratic lawmakers to discuss gun control.

McConaughey also met with President Joe Biden before stepping into the White House briefing room with press secretary

McConaughey urges gun measures in surprise White House appearance

Primary From Page One the junior U.S. senator for California.

Padilla will fill out the remaining months of his appointed term, and then face Republican Mark P. Meuser in a November runoff for a full term.

However, Meuser will have a tough climb as Padillo received 57.2% of the votes statewide as of 10:20 p.m.

In Solano County, Padilla had 56.36% of the votes and Meuser was second with 13.07%.

Newsom’s November challenger will likely be Republican Brian Dahle.

Newsom had received

said she was shocked to find microplastics in every sample.

“It’s incredibly sad but finding microplastics in fresh Antarctic snow highlights the extent of plastic pollution into even the most remote regions of the world,” she said.

Her research, published in the science journal “The Cryosphere,” found an average of 29 microplastic particles per liter of melted snow.

The density of microplastics was nearly three

times higher immediately next to the scientific bases on Ross Island, Scott Base, and McMurdo Station.

Of the 13 different types of plastic found, the most common was PET, which is often used to make soft drink bottles and clothing.

Microplastics may have traveled thousands of kilometers through the air, but it is equally likely the presence of humans in Antarctica established a microplastic “footprint,” the researchers say.

The research confirmed what scientists expected, Institute of Environmental Science and Research senior scientist Olga Panto said.

“It really is impossible for any organism to now avoid the impacts of human activity, similar to the way that all environments and organisms are impacted by human-driven climate change,” she said.

Significant steps are needed to reduce the use and management of plastics, Panto said.

60.1% of the vote statewide as of 10:20 p.m., and led Solano’s count at 61.36%. Dahle had 15.6% of the vote overall and 14.3% in Solano.

Solano voters also threw their support behind a list of other incumbents: Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis (58.82%), Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber (64.18%), Attorney General Rob Bonta (59.85%), Treasurer Fiona Ma (63.83%), Superintendent of Public Schools Tony K. Thurmond (53.84%) and Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara (40.34%).

They all led in the statewide count as well, but each will face the next closest voter-getter in November.

For Kounalakis, a Democrat, that means Republican Angela E. Underwood Jacobs.

For Weber, that means Republican Rob Bernosky. For Bonta, a Democrat, that likely means Republican Nathan Hochman.

For Ma, a Democrat, that likely means Republican Jack Guerrero or Republican Andrew Do, who were within 1.4 percentage points of one another as of 10:25 p.m. Tuesday. For Thurmond that likely means Ainye E. Long, Lance Ray Christensen or Marco Amaral, all of whom were within 1.5 percentage points.

For Lara, a Democrat, that means Democrat Marc Levine, Republican

Greg Conlon or Republican Robert Howell.

Levine led Conlon by 2.3 percentage points and Howell by 2.5 percentage points as of shortly before 10:30 p.m.

There will be a new controller with incumbent Betty Yee having termed out.

Solano, like the state, was divided between Lanhee Chen at 31.44% and Malia M. Cohen at 27.53% of the votes.

Statewide, Chen had a more comfortable lead over Cohen, 33.6% to 22.5%, heading into the November runoff.

Solano supervisors recognize need to support Alzheimer’s care, research Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Cheryl Johnson said during the 13 years she cared for her mother with Alzheimer’s disease, she got to know a woman she did not know.

“She told me she would never, ever forget me because she had a daughter named Cheryl, too,” Johnson told the Solano County Board of Supervisors.

Riitta DeAnda said she watched her father drift away.

“It took eight years for the man I knew to disappear,” DeAnda said.

The board on Tuesday adopted a resolution rec-

ognizing June as National Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month and June 21 as The Longest Day in Solano County.

Kathy Link participates in a clinical trial on drugs that could help in the treatment, and possibly, the cure of the disease that affects 6 million Americans, 650,000 Californians and an estimated 8,000 Solano County residents who are 65 or older.

Link, who cared for her mother for 14 years, has a gene marker that makes her 30% more likely to get Alzheimer’s, a revelation that forced her to get more exercise, improve her diet and to get more sleep. She joined one clin-

ical trial, but was in a placebo control group, and agreed to another six-year trial as long as she was one of those who received the drug under consideration.

But the board was told that there need to be more clinical trials, especially for people of color who are at a higher risk of getting the disease.

Bob Panzer, a longtime advocate for the local Alzheimer’s Association, said there are a number of ways area residents can donate. The largest single fundraising event is the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, which will take place Oct. 22 at the Suisun Harbor.

For more information

on that and other ways to help, go to https://act.alz. org/donate.

In other action, the board: n Recognized Juanita Fleming, program specialist in the Employment and Eligibility Division of the Health and Social Services Department, upon her retirement after 31 years with Solano County. n Reappointed Fadi Halabi, Celia EspositoNoy, Tim Healer, Gerald Huber and Jon Riley to the Workforce Development Board of Solano County for terms to expire June 30, 2026; and reappointed David Tam for a term to expire July 19, 2026.

Derby winner third betting choice for Belmont Tribune Content Agency

Silas Walker/Lexington Herald-Leader/TNS

Rich Strike, with Sonny Leon up, wins the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, May 7.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — After winning the Peter Pan Stakes by 10 1/4 lengths, We the People was installed as the 2-1 favorite for Saturday’s Grade 1 Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park.

Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike, who did not run in the Preakness on May 21, is the third choice at 7-2 with Wood Memorial winner Mo Donegal the second choice at 5-2 in the morning line for the eight-

horse field.

“He’s done real good since he’s been here,” Rich Strike trainer Eric Reed said after the draw.

“He’s training better every day.”

Post time for the third leg of the Triple Crown is set for approximately 6:49 p.m. NBC has the television coverage from 5-7 p.m.

CNBC will provide coverage from Belmont Park from 3-5 p.m.

We the People has won three of his four career races. His lone loss was

a seventh-place finish in the Arkansas Derby on April 2 at Oaklawn Park.

The son of Constitution bounced back with an impressive wire-to-wire score in the Grade 3 Peter Pan at Belmont on May 14.

“I thought it was nice of you,” trainer Rodolphe Brissett said when asked about his horse being made the favorite. “I don’t look at the odds, but it makes sense.”

After We the People (2-1), Mo Donegal (5-2), Rich Strike (7-2), Creative Minister (6-1), Nest

(8-1), Barber Road (10-1), Golden Glider (20-1) and Skippylongstocking (20-1) complete the field.

Mo Donegal finished fifth in the Kentucky Derby for trainer Todd Pletcher, who has won the Belmont three times – Tapwrit in 2017; Palace Malice in 2013 and the filly Rags to Riches in 2007.

Pletcher has a filly in this year’s Belmont in Nest, who ran second to Secret Oath in the See Belmont, Page B10

Benicia High’s section-winning softball team gets county spotlight Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday turned the spotlight on the Benicia High School varsity softball team, which captured the North Coast Section championship.

That celebration took place May 27 on their home diamond with a 6-1 victory over Marin Catholic.

The Panthers then took their “Cinderella story” on the road, winning two Division II state playoff games away from Benicia before having their season end against Lincoln High School in Stockton.

Lincoln is a Division I school slotted into the eight-team Division II tournament. Benicia was the fifth seed.

Lincoln was No. 4.

“Every day they came out and worked hard. I couldn’t be more proud of them,” Coach Kristin Grubbs told the board, after each of the

14 team members introduced themselves. Four of those players are going on to play at the university level. Nine of the players return next season.

Grubbs also followed the lead of Supervisor Monica Brown in recognizing the 50th anniversary of the landmark Title IX federal civil rights legislation that opened up athletics to girls and women by prohibiting any genderbased discrimination in any program that receives federal funding.

“We wouldn’t be here if not for the equal access and funding,” Grubbs said.

But it is not quite equal, yet, and Brown in post-meeting comments said it was important that Title IX provisions are protected and enforced.

“It’s allowed our girls to go to college on (athletic) scholarships; it’s allowed our girls to work together,” Brown said in her introduction of the team.

Report: Kings could trade No. 4 pick in NBA draft to acquire ‘win-now player’ Tribune Content Agency The Kings will consider all options leading up to the draft, including the possibility of trading their first-round pick to acquire a player who can help them end their NBA-record 16-year playoff drought.

The Kings moved up three spots in the lottery to secure the No. 4 pick in the draft, which will be held June 23 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor reported Monday that Sacramento would be willing to give up the pick if the right opportunity presents itself.

“League sources say the Kings are looking for a win-now player with the fourth pick, whether they draft one or deal the pick to acquire one,” O’Connnor wrote. “Trading out of the draft is a possibility, but so is moving down. Sources say Sacramento is willing to move back for a lower pick and a player who

would fit into the same trajectory as De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and Davion Mitchell.”

This news comes as no surprise in Sacramento, where the sense of urgency grows exponentially each year after 16 consecutive losing seasons.

The Kings are coming off a 30-52 campaign.

They haven’t posted a winning record since their last playoff appearance in 2005-06.

The big three of Auburn power forward Jabari Smith, Gonzaga center Chet Holmgren and Duke power forward Paolo Banchero are widely projected as the top picks in the draft. Sacramento could consider Purdue guard Jaden Ivey, Kentucky guard Shaedon Sharpe or Iowa forward Keegan Murray with the No. 4 pick, but the Kings would likely need more to become a See Kings, Page B2

Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green (23) celebrates his basket and foul against the Boston Celtics in the

first quarter of Game 2 of the NBA Finals at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Sunday.

The chip on Green’s shoulder could bring the Warriors another ’ship

Dieter Kurtenbach BAY AREA NEWS GROUP

BOSTON — Draymond Green has the Celtics right where he wants them.

And that means the Warriors do, too.

Yes, the NBA Finals are tied at one game a side – Boston stole homecourt advantage with a Game 1 win – but the Warriors’ rebuttal in Game 2 has longer legs than just one win should.

That’s because it wasn’t merely the Warriors’ on-court adjustments for Game 2 that has Boston spinning going into Game 3.

No, Draymond Green was the fullest version of himself in Game 2 at Chase Center.

He was the aggressor on defense, setting a tone of physicality that Boston simply had no interest in matching. Of course, it didn’t stop there for Green: He was happy to

ANALYSIS tell the Celtics what he was doing to them the whole game.

The Celtics did not respond well to such agitation.

In the immediate aftermath of the game, the Celtics were whining and complaining that Green was not ejected from the game. They lost their cool the first time they were pressed on the NBA’s biggest stage.

For a young team, such an emotional response isn’t unexpected.

But what was unexpected is that after a flight home and a day off, the Celtics were still hung up on Green Tuesday.

“We ain’t got time for that,” Jaylen Brown, the most aggrieved, as Green’s primary defensive mark, said at TD Garden. “We’re here to play basketball, so don’t get caught up in all the

On TV NBA FInals, Game 3 Golden State at Boston 6 p.m. – Channels, 7, 10

antics and stuff like that.”

That was a refrain from the Celtics Tuesday: “Just play basketball.”

But what Green is doing is basketball. It’s winning basketball.

And if the Celtics do not figure out how to handle it, they will lose the home-court advantage in these two games in Beantown – if not the series altogether.

The Warriors’ forward can defend at the highest level and is an elite passer, but he can’t shoot worth a lick in this series where shooting is at a premium, so he’s throwing his body around with reckless abandon to make up for it. He’s trying to set a tone for the Dubs.

And it’s working.

But Green’s true superpower amid all this physicality is his ability to talk trash.

With some brashness and a whole lot of wit, I’ve seen Green crush the confidence of his opponents (hi, CJ McCollum!). And at this, the highest level of basketball, it’s the little things that amalgamate into the kind of advantage that can swing a series.

Take an opposing player out of the game just a bit and it can undercut an entire team.

So Green is going to poke, prod, and nudge at any weakness – overt or researched – in an effort to knock his opponents off their game.

And if he hasn’t already reached that point with Brown and the Celtics, he’s dangerously close after two games.

“If you want to ignore it, ignore it. If you engage, engage. Do what you do.

Oakland’s losing streak hits seven games Tribune Content Agency Ramón Laureano drove in two first-inning runs to give the A’s an early spark in Atlanta, but that was all the offense Oakland mustered in another rough showing for a disappointing lineup in a 3-2 loss to the Braves on Tuesday.

With the game tied 2-2 in the seventh, light-hitting outfielder Guillermo Heredia greeted reliever Lou Trivino by launching a

solo home run that ultimately rewarded Braves starter Kyle Wright with a win. The home run was only Heredia’s seventh hit in 49 at-bats this season and bumped Trivino’s ERA up to 6.91.

A’s starter Cole Irvin pitched into the sixth inning at Truist Park and took a no-decision as the left-hander gave up a pair of home runs to Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. After the first three A’s hitters –Tony Kemp, Elvis

Andrus and Laureano, reached against Wright with singles, Oakland recorded only two hits the rest of the way.

The A’s lost six straight games to close out their 10-game homestand at the Coliseum and their seven-game losing streak is the team’s second longest of the season. Oakland lost nine straight games from April 29-May 8.

If Oakland’s fortunes change Wednesday,

rookie left-hander Jared Koenig will have a hand in helping the A’s. The Aptos, Calif. product will make his MLB debut against the Braves after posting a 2.21 ERA in 53 innings at TripleA Las Vegas.

Koenig, 28, was pitching for the San Rafael Pacifics as recently as 2018 in independent ball and spent part of 2019 with the Auckland Tuatara of the Australian Baseball League.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson answers questions before practice Tuesday, as the Warriors

prepare for Wednesday’s Game Three of the NBA Finals at TD Garden in Boston.

Klay Thompson turns to YouTube highlights in hopes of breaking slump Tribune Content Agency BOSTON — Klay Thompson’s shot hasn’t been up to his championship standard in the first two games of the NBA Finals. But he just might have a modern solution to the issue of a shooting slump.

Over six straight playoff runs, Thompson has developed a funk-breaking trick that he hopes will work for Game 3: The Warriors guard pulls up YouTube, searches for his own highlight clips, and learns a thing or two from his past self.

“That’s the beauty of playing in today’s age,” Thompson said. “You can go on YouTube and look up all your great moments.”

It’s become routine for Thompson amid some of his bad slumps, before and after his two-year absence thanks to two major injuries. He watched highlights of himself earlier in the playoffs to get his shot going. After going 1-for-8 from 3 in the Warriors’ Game 2 win over Boston on Sunday — shooting collective 4-for-14 from distance in the first two games — Thompson went home, searched “Game 6 Klay” highlights, and put himself back in that mindset.

“There were some very

high-pressurized situations I was in,” Thompson said. “I ended up shooting the ball well. When you can do it when your back is against the wall, you can do it at any given moment.

It’s just about keeping that mental strong.”

Thompson has shot a career 49.5% from 3 and 44 percent from the field in three career Finals Game 6s. His stronger shooting nights in these playoffs have come later in each series — with the pressure on. But the sizzling scoring nights are few and far between.

Thompson played through a garbage-time fourth quarter in Golden State’s Game 2 win to find some sort of rhythm, but he’s still 10-for-33 overall in the first two games.

The YouTube highlight database is a common source of inspiration for plenty of players. Steph Curry watches highlights of himself, too.

“All the best do that.

I like that,” Curry said.

He’ll often watch fellow sharp-shooters Ray Allen and Reggie Miller along with clips of his brother, Seth Curry, and old clips of his dad Dell Curry at Virginia Tech.

“Just more so being an NBA fan, consuming as much basketball as possible, you start to get motivated and inspired

by all different types of people,” he said.

With Curry getting mugged by Boston’s defense, the pressure is on Thompson and Jordan Poole to take on a good chunk of the scoring responsibility. After a dismal Game 1, Poole had 17 points with five 3-pointers in Game 2. Now all eyes avert to Thompson to catch up.

Thompson’s legacy leans on a “shooters shoot” mentality. He doesn’t get gun-shy or lax defensively, even amid his slumps.

“He’s been through more than anybody can think of. We know that mentally he’ll bounce back, he’ll get under it,” Gary Payton II said.

“We have our teammates pushing him and lifting him up, telling him that he’s more than a scorer for us.”

Added Otto Porter Jr.: “Once he gets going, it’s going to help us out even more. Klay is going to be fine. He’s going to continue to play how he plays, and we’re going to continue to look for him, screen for him. He’s going to be great. He’s going to be great.”

There are lessons to be learned from his clips, Thompson says.

Lately he’s been a “little rushed” and not “under-

neath my shot.”

“This is nothing I’m immune to. I’ve been through shooting slumps before. The best part is, it’s how you respond,” he said. “Come Game 3, I’ll probably not do much differently rather than just play with great pace and pump great shots. When I tend to do that, I tend to have a big night.”

His ascent with Curry and Draymond Green as part of the NBA’s latest dynasty and rapid fall with two major injuries has given Thompson perspective on those poor shooting nights.

“There could be nights where I’m hitting everything, I’m not hitting the rim at all. It’s just about realizing that, like, greatness takes time. It doesn’t happen overnight,” he said. “For what I’ve been through the last couple years, I will gladly be in this position, especially considering where I was at last year during June.

Me and Rick Celebrini in the gym, just two in the arena, it was empty.

There’s nobody in the Bay during that time.

“To be back here on this stage, just got to remind yourself to keep working because it’s a blessing and really an honor to be here.”

Woods is skipping this year’s U.S. Open Tribune Content Agency Tiger won’t be on the prowl for a while longer.

Tiger Woods is skipping this year’s U.S. Open in order to get healthy to play in other PGA events later this summer.

“I previously informed the USGA that I will not be competing in the U.S. Open as my body needs more time to get stronger for major championship golf. I do hope and plan to be ready to play in Ireland at the JP McManus Pro-Am and at the [British] Open [in St. Andrews, Scotland] next month. I’m excited to get back out there soon!”

Woods said in a statement Tuesday.

Woods, 46, has won 15 majors – including three U.S. Opens – in his storied career, but has been slowed by a number of injuries in recent years, notwithstanding a surprise 2019 win in the Masters. He nearly died in a February 2021 car crash and required leg surgery.

“You’ll be missed,”

Christian Petersen/Getty Images/TNS file

Tiger Woods on the 16th hole during the third round of the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, May 21. the USGA responded to Woods on Twitter. “We look forward to having you back at the US Open again soon!”

Earlier this month, reports surfaced that Woods turned down a

nine-digit offer from the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf League.

Woods withdrew from the PGA Championship in May after 54 holes and was visibly limping and in discomfort on the Tulsa,

Okla., course while shooting 12-over par. It was only his second event since his 2021 car crash.

The U.S. Open tees off next week at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass.

Be who you are,” Celtics coach Ime Udoka said.

“The main thing is to continue to stay composed. . . For us, it’s to be who you are.”

Doesn’t that sound all well and good?

But Udoka continued to talk, and this is how Green knows he has the Celtics on the hook: “I told them if I was a player, who I was, I would probably get a double technical immediately [in Game 2]. But that’s not everybody. Do what you do. Block it out or meet physicality with physicality.”

It’s important to remember why Udoka is the head coach of the Celtics.

Boston was led until last offseason by former Butler coach Brad Stevens, and he did a great job. He was tactically brilliant and his eye for talent and ability to develop players was second-to-none in the league.

But Stevens moved to the Celtics’ front office in part because this Boston team – which is as smart and talented as any squad in the league – needed someone who could reasonably challenge them to be tougher.

This is a squad led

by Jayson Tatum, who despite being a firstteam All-NBA wing and a future NBA MVP, admitted to questioning whether he can lead.

There’s Brown, an intellectual who chose Cal for his one-and-done year.

And then there’s veteran leader Al Horford, whose reputation in this league is that he is too soft for the big moments.

Yes, Boston has Marcus Smart, but one small tough guy can only get you so far.

Stevens looks like he works in marketing at Eli Lilly. (Oh wait, he did that.) His highest level of basketball was at DePauw University in Indiana, where he played 18 minutes a game as a 6-foot-1, 178pound guard.

Ukoka was an NBA journeyman who could tell his squad that they were “getting punked” before the fourth quarter of Game 1 and have it mean something.

Boston has responded to Ukoka’s in-yourface personality. They beat the Bucks and Heat – two of the toughest, most physical teams in the league – to reach the Finals.

But Green and the Warriors represent an entirely different kind of challenge.

Green is the Finals boss.

He learned to talk trash on the courts of Saginaw, Michigan.

He was a second-round pick who can recite the names of everyone who was selected before him.

Green doesn’t have a chip on his shoulder – there’s a shoulder growing out of his chip, even after three titles and a guaranteed place in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

This is in his DNA. This is part of the Warriors’ “championship DNA.” Steph Curry isn’t that kind of rah-rah kind of leader for the War-

Kings From Page B1 playoff team.

O’Connor mentioned the possibility of the Kings trading back to No. 6 or No. 7 to acquire Malcolm Brogdon from the Indiana Pacers or Josh Hart from

Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green argues against Boston Celtics’ Marcus Smart in Game 2 of the NBA Finals at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Sunday. riors. No, he sets the tone for Golden State by being the ultimate professional. No drama, no nonsense, just results.

But this is the real world and nice guys don’t always finish first.

Just as the greatest hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky, had his “bodyguards” in Dave Semenko and Marty McSorley, Curry has Green.

Collectively, they give the Warriors balance. It’s a formula that works.

And it’s working against the Celtics right now.

Game 3 will be huge for the timbre of this series.

The Boston crowd is going to direct decades of blue-collar angst on Green on Wednesday.

He’ll certainly be booed every time he touches the ball and perhaps even when he doesn’t have it, too, just for good measure. And Green will welcome the attention and egg on the Garden crowd.

He lives for moments like this.

But the Celtics know that the home crowd can turn on them, too.

Is that the reason they are just 5-4 at home this postseason? You can’t discount it.

On Tuesday, Celtics players were already bracing for the crowd to turn against the home team in Game 3.

“For us, it’s just a matter of using that energy and trusting our fans because they’re going to be there to support us,” Grant Williams said. “At the end of the day, we have to continue to trust. Sometimes I feel like when things don’t necessarily go (our way), we go away from the things that are working. Next thing you know, it goes even higher.”

Those boos – for him or anyone else – are music to Green’s ears.

“There is an art to trash-talking,” Green said Tuesday. “If you grew up in Saginaw, Michigan, it’s naturally given to you . . . You can’t survive if you can’t talk on the court. You go out there quiet if you want to… If you’re quiet, they’re going to think you’re soft. They’re going to try to bully you.

That’s just kind of the way I learned.”

He lived that truth in Game 2.

He’s going to bring the same intensity to Game 3.

This is where the series can turn.

And while Curry 3s and Looney blocks will play a huge role in any Warriors victory, it’ll be Green’s impact – that chip on his shoulder – that will put the series in the Warriors’ hands.

the Portland Trail Blazers. They could also explore the possibility of moving back to No. 5 to acquire Jerami Grant from the Detroit Pistons. Such a deal would help the Kings address their need at the power forward position while still allowing them to pick up a promising young player on a rookiescale contract.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, June 8, 2022 B3

COMMENTARY

We want war to end, but should calls for a cease-fire be taken seriously?

T

hree months have passed since Russia invaded Ukraine, and calls for negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin are growing.

The leaders of the European Union’s three largest member states – Germany, France and Italy – have all recently issued statements calling for a cease-fire, with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz underscoring the need for this to come “as quickly as possible.” Italy and Hungary sought – unsuccessfully – for the EU to call for an immediate cease-fire at its summit last week.

The influential New York Times Editorial Board has emphasized the unlikeliness of a decisive Ukrainian victory and insisted responsible leaders have a duty to “not chase after an illusory ‘win.’ ” And former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger made waves at the recent Davos Forum with his suggestion that “negotiations on peace need to begin in the next two months or so,” even if this involves Ukraine ceding sovereign territory to Russia.

Jordan A pointed response from Ukrainian Gans-Morse President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a furious social media storm have accused those urging negotiations of appeasement. But how should we know when the time is right to take such proposals seriously?

At a minimum, proposals for cease-fires and negotiations should offer compelling answers to these three questions.

First, how will Ukrainian citizens in areas under Russian control be protected from war crimes? Claims that an end to fighting will save civilian lives ignore overwhelming evidence to the contrary from Bucha, Mariupol and countless other villages and cities.

A premature cease-fire would leave some Ukrainians far from being safe, stranded in occupied territories and likely to be subjected to summary executions. This is in addition to makeshift torture chambers, gang rapes, filtration camps, Ukrainian-language book burnings, abolition of Ukrainianlanguage schools, forced deportations to Russia and other measures aimed at denying the existence of a distinct and independent Ukrainian culture and nation.

Second, what evidence is there Putin is ready to engage in serious negotiations? Negotiation requires two willing parties.

To date, Putin has mocked international diplomacy. Most notably, just one day after United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres traveled to Moscow in late April to personally appeal for peace, Russia launched missile attacks on Kyiv with full knowledge that Guterres was visiting the Ukrainian capital.

Indeed, U.N. and EU leaders’ premature overtures are likely to prove counterproductive. By confirming Putin’s beliefs that Europe’s leaders desire a rapid end to the war more urgently than he does, they are more prone to kindle his appetite for aggression than increase his inclination to compromise.

Third, why should Russia be expected to abide by a cease-fire or negotiated settlement? Putin and his inner circle operate with disturbing comfort in the post-truth global milieu their propaganda efforts have helped create. These are the same people who repeatedly denied intentions to invade even as nearly 200,000 troops, visible for all the world to see, amassed on Ukraine’s borders.

History shows Russia does not merely violate cease-fires but also uses them to gain a strategic advantage. From Georgia to Syria, Russia has turned cease-fires into frozen conflicts, annexations and opportunities to regroup or further modernize its armed forces.

To be sure, those calling for negotiations are right to be concerned a prolonged war could lead to full-scale Russian military mobilization, Russia’s use of weapons of mass destruction or escalation into a head-to-head conflict between Russia and NATO. But rather than mitigating these concerns, a premature cease-fire or an unstable peace settlement risks merely postponing these disastrous scenarios until a renewed bout of Russian aggression.

Many calls for negotiations offer the caveat that ultimately the timing is for Ukraine to decide, as if those advocating for a settlement are just objective analysts offering pragmatic solutions and spelling out sober truths. But to the contrary, these proposals inflict significant damage.

By promoting the misleading impression that a negotiated settlement is a viable option that NATO and Ukraine are refusing to pursue, they undermine public support. This plays into the hands of Putin, who is counting on war fatigue in Europe and America to eventually make military aid, sanctions and goodwill toward Ukrainian refugees politically difficult to sustain.

The Western world – and more importantly, Ukrainians themselves – will know when the time for negotiations arrives. It will, at minimum, be when those calling for cease-fires can offer hard evidence that war crimes in occupied territories can be prevented, Putin is ready to negotiate and a pause in fighting is more than a prelude to renewed Russian aggression in the near future.

To date, advocates of negotiations fail miserably to address these issues. Until they do, the fastest path to a stable peace, and the only way to minimize indignities suffered by Ukrainian civilians, is to provide Ukraine with the support and weapons needed to repel Russian troops from its sovereign territory as soon as possible.

state named Jerry Brown decreed that measures could be placed on the primary ballot as well.

Three years later, Brown used his own ruling to place Proposition 9, a political reform measure, on the 1974 primary ballot – a major factor in his successful campaign for governor that year.

For the next four decades, primary election ballots included some of the state’s most farreaching, hard-fought ballot measures that drew voters to the polls, including Proposition 13, the iconic tax limitation measure in 1978.

In 2011, however, Brown, once again governor, countermanded his own 1971 decree by signing legislation to once again confine initiative measures to the November general election ballot.

Why? Democrats wanted to prevent a so-called “paycheck protection” measure, limiting unions’ ability to extract campaign funds from their members, from appearing on the 2012 primary ballot. Forcing it onto the November ballot, they believed, would make passage less likely.

The ploy worked as voters rejected the measure. But ever since, primary election ballots have lacked voter-motivating ballot measures and turnout has been weak.

We all witnessed what happened when a man couldn’t accept the fact he’d lost the presidency and made up a big lie about a stolen election that unfortunately, the less discerning among us bought.

By following the bipartisan hearings, we will learn the facts from people who were intimately involved. We may learn some of our preconceived ideas are wrong. It won’t be a pleasant experience because what happened was one of the saddest episodes in American history.

But most of us are ready to hear the truth. Peace.

Summer 2022 TV Preview What to watch, try and avoid

A

new Marvel hero, some really old dragons and Neil Patrick Harris, all just in time for summer.

Here are the buzziest new TV shows of the season to watch, try or avoid — based solely on trailers and descriptions (no spoilers here).

WATCH ‘Irma Vep,’ June 6, HBO Alicia Vikander has been tasked to lose her mind playing Mira, an American actress who, disillusioned with her life, moves to France to star in a remake of a French silent film classic about an underground crime organization called “The Vampires.” But as Mira gets deeper into production, she begins to lose track of what’s real and what’s script. If the show can avoid falling into ugly stereotypes about crazy women, it could be a fascinating study of fiction, reality and everything in between.

‘Ms. Marvel,’ June 8, Disney+ Obviously, the person best suited to save the world is a teenage girl from New Jersey.

Who else? After more superhero movies than you can count about buff white guys named Chris, Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), a Pakistani-American high school student from Jersey City finally gets her MCU show as she figures out how to control the cosmic energy she can create from a magic bangle. Let the girls run the show.

‘Queer as Folk,’ June 9, Peacock A “reimagining” of Russell T Davies’ groundbreaking show, “Queer as Folk” is set in New Orleans this time and follows

a group of LGBTQ friends, reeling from a Pulse-like shooting and trying to get back to their brand of normal.

‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,’ June 17, Prime Video Remember those empty teenage years where you just floated by, untethered from the realities and miseries of the world? “The Summer I Turned Pretty” isn’t quite as rose-colored, but Jenny Han’s (“To All The Boys”) adaptation of the first book of her same-named trilogy promises a hazy throwback to when life was at least a little easier, littered with teenage crushes and cotillion dresses.

‘Loot,’ June 24, Apple TV+ One of the first images released of “Loot” was of Maya Rudolph and an alpaca. Do you need more? How about Rudolph as a rich woman whose life is turned upside down when her husband betrays her, leaving her with nothing but the tabloid headlines and a charity foundation that wants nothing to do with her drama? Bring on the alpaca.

‘Black Bird,’ July 8, Apple TV+ This doesn’t exactly sound like an odd couple comedy, but the series, based on James Keene and Hillel Levin’s true crime memoir “In With The Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, and A Dangerous Bargain for Redemption,” sets up two unlikely partners: a police officer’s son (Taron Egerton) doing 10 years for drug dealing and a serial killer (Paul Walter Hauser). If the former can extract a confession from the latter, he gets out early. What happens behind bars doesn’t stay behind bars if you’re a narc.

‘House of the Dragon,’ Aug. 21, HBO Nothing said here is going to sway your decision in any direction. If you’re still mad about the “Game of Thrones” finale, you’re not going to watch the prequel. Or maybe you are because you miss the dragons so much. If you didn’t care about “Game of Thrones” the first time, you’re not going to watch another one.

‘The Patient,’ Aug. 30, FX Steve Carrell as a therapist trying to talk a serial killer (Domhnall Gleeson) out of killing again while being held hostage could be great or terrible, especially once you throw in the murderer’s mommy issues. What should put “The Patient” on the right side of that line is the creators: Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields, who last made a little show called “The Americans.” If anyone knows how to do damaged relationships, it’s them.

TRY ‘God’s Favorite Idiot,’ June 15, Netflix Apart, Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone are two of the funniest working actors.

Together, their work often boils down to ‘yeah, sure, fine,’ which is unfortunate. And yet we just keep giving them second chances. This time, Falcone plays a tech guy who gets struck by lightning and is chosen by God to help save the world. McCarthy plays his girlfriend and Leslie Bibb plays Satan. Yeah, sure, fine.

‘Players,’ June 16, Paramount+ “American Vandal” had a really simple premise: See Preview, Page B5

Once, my partner opened one club. I had 15 high-card points with six clubs to the ace-king-queen-jack. I also had a singleton spade, so I responded three spades. It went all pass! Then partner put a singleton spade down in the dummy! I tried hard to make it, but I unluckily ran out of trumps. Six clubs was cold.

In today’s deal, North’s four diamonds was a splinter bid. Then South used 14-30 Roman Key Card Blackwood, understandably believing that his partner had something in clubs to justify his game-force. When North showed one key card (an ace or the spade king), South jumped to six spades.

West, who disliked leading from a jack, chose the club seven. After winning with dummy’s king, how did declarer play?

L. Pief Weyman/Showtime

Adapted from the British series of the same name, “Queer as Folk” was the first hourlong drama in the U.S. to portray the lives of LGBTQ men and women at the forefront of the story.

Preview From Page B4 someone drew penises all over a high school and a bunch of teens try to solve the “crime.”

The mockumentary style, plus the ridiculousness of the whole thing was addictive. In “Players,” co-creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault are trying to capture the same mockumentary magic, but in the world of League of Legends and an esportsteam trying to capture glory. Sure, gamers are easy material to ridicule, but at some point it just seems a little cruel.

‘The Old Man,’ June 16, FX FX’s “The Old Man,” starring Jeff Bridges, is based on Thomas Perry’s 2017 novel of the same name, but if you assumed it was just a ripoff of “Red,” no one would blame you either. A former CIA agent living off the grid who suddenly has to go on the run when an assassin tracks him down? Yeah, Bruce Willis already did that. But hey, “Red” was great, so who are we to complain?

‘Uncoupled,’ July 29, Netflix Darren Star’s “Emily in Paris” was the subject of a truly ridiculous level of discourse for a mostly silly show about, well, a girl in Paris. Will his next show, about a newly single gay man in his mid-40s (Neil Patrick Harris) in New York City, cause the

same agita among people who think they are too good to just watch a silly show? Please, for all our sakes, say no.

AVOID ‘The Terminal List,’ July 1, Prime Video Jack Carr’s 2018 novel was a bestseller, praised as an action-packed thriller about a Navy SEAL wrapped up in a government conspiracy after his platoon is ambushed. Chris Pratt as a soldier on a mission and a list of a bunch of people to kill – thus “The Terminal List” – feels like yet another antihero who would be better served talking through his feelings.

‘Flowers in the Attic: The Origin,’ July 9, Lifetime You know what absolutely no one needs right now? A prequel series about a woman who eventually locks her grandchildren in an attic and, if the trailer is to believed, watched the incest at Foxworth Hall start early.

‘Resident Evil,’ July 14, Netflix Resident Evil has been a third-person shooter game, a firstperson shooter game, a six-film movie series, some novels and a few comic books. Now it’s a TV show. But has anyone stopped to ask if we actually want to watch another zombie apocalypse?

Donna Pock Deputy City Clerk DR#00055542 Published: June 8, 15, 2022 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. CA-22-898897-BF Order No.: DEF2250150CA YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 5/7/2012. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Matthew C. Schramm, a single man and Samantha R. Grippe, a single woman as joint tenants Recorded: 5/11/2012 as Instrument No. 201200044795 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SOLANO County, California; Date of Sale: 6/15/2022 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Santa Clara St. Entrance of the Vallejo City Hall, located at 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $307,247.12 The purported property address is: 5254 SHUMWAY PLACE, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533 Assessor's Parcel No.: 0166341-120 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-898897-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-898897-BF to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON ADOPTING NEW USER FEES OR REVISING EXISTING USER FEES (GOV. CODE SECTION 66018) On June 14, 2022, in the Solano County Board of Supervisorsʼ Chambers, located at 675 Texas Street, Fairfield, California, the Solano County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to adopt by resolution FY2022/23 user fees or revised existing user fees as described in the staff report and summarized below: 1. Development Project Fees The Department of Resource Management calculates a composite hourly rate for each division separately. These composite hourly rates reflect direct operational costs in addition to the departmentʼs full administrative costs, which are proportionally allocated to each of the operating divisions. Fees are based on the average time it takes to perform a specific fee for service multiplied by the composite hourly rate to recover direct operational and indirect administrative overhead costs for providing the service. These fees are further explained below. a. Environmental Health – (Exhibit III-A) The Department of Resource Management proposes to revise its existing fees to reflect composite hourly rate increases and the anticipated time to perform services for the environmental health and hazardous materials programs. This results in most environmental health and hazardous materials program fees increasing from 0.7% to 5.1% or $1 to $1,493 with a median increase of 1.0% or $5. No permit fees are proposed for facilities operated by non-profits, governmental organizations, or veterans, and no fee changes are proposed for disposal fees at the landfill. b. Planning Services – (Exhibit III-B) The Department of Resource Management proposes to revise its existing Planning Services fees by 0.5% to 8.0%, which results in fee increases from $1 (for items such as building plan and business license review) to $287 (for use permit amendments) with a median fee increase of 0.7% or $10, for all but four of its fees. The Department is adding one new fee, for filing an agricultural preserve cancellation petition, and deleting two fees, variance permit revision and fees for copying meeting recordings. c. Building and Safety – (Exhibit III-C) The Department of Resource Management recommends no change to all but three fees based on operating costs, staffing levels, and the time required to perform inspection services. The hourly rate for code enforcement reinspection, abandoned vehicle abatement, and code compliance is decreasing by $1 or 0.5%. The hourly rate for additional inspections is decreasing by $3 or 0.6% for building permits. d. Administrative Services (Exhibit III-D) The Department of Resource Management proposes to revise its existing fees for Administrative Services work in the Business License program from 1.9% to 3.9%, resulting in a fee increase ranging from $1 to $5 for review and processing of initial, renewal and revised business licenses applications. The fee increases offset operational cost increases and are based on administrative staffʼs hourly rate and estimated time to perform the functions.

e. Public Works/Engineering/Surveyor – (Exhibit III-E) The Department proposes a productive hourly rate decrease of $8 for Civil Engineer, $2 increase for Engineering Technician, and $5 increase for the County Surveyor to reflect changes in operating costs. As a result of changes in the productive hourly rates, the time required to perform the inspection or service, and overhead costs, twelve of the permit fees are proposed to increase from 0.9% to 3.3%, or from $1 to $36, with the median increase being 1.7% or $6. These proposed fee increases include surveyor map check fees, encroachment permits and road signage, assembly permits, and flood zone determination. One new fee associated with land development, i.e., Marsh Development Permit Planning Commission Revision, is being added.

2. General Government Fees a.) The Agriculture Department proposes decreasing twenty-one fees ranging from $1 to $5 representing 0.5% to 5.2% fee decreases based on the current yearʼs fee due to decrease in productive hourly rate resulting from adding more employees performing the service which spreads the cost for providing services to the higher number of employees.

In addition, the department proposes increasing one fee for Pest Control Business Registration by $15 representing a 19.5% increase to reflect the actual labor hours to perform the service. There are 34 existing fees that remain unchanged because the fees are established or capped by statute. b.) The Assessorʼs Office recommends increasing twenty-four fees ranging from $2 to $55, representing 12.8% to 16.7% increase and 5 fees with no change. Fee increases are due to increase in the departmentʼs productive hourly rate.

The Recorderʼs Office also recommends increasing eight fees ranging from $1 to $4, representing a range of 1.3% to 14.3% increase in the Recorderʼs Office. Three of these fees are due to increase in productive hourly rate resulting from increase in labor and overhead costs. Per AB110, effective January 1, 2022, vital record copies, representing five fees, are set to increase. The department recommends no change in its twenty-six fees as these fees are set by statute. c.) The Public Guardian (a program in the Health and Social Services Department) proposes adjustments in fees to recover a portion of the cost for providing services. d.) The Treasurer/Tax Collector/County Clerk proposes to increase two fees resulting from increased debit and credit card processing fees which are passed through from vendors. e.) The Office of the Auditor/Controller proposes a fee schedule that reflects increase of fees ranging from $.29 to $23 to reflect full cost recovery for the services provided. The department also proposes decreases in some fees ranging from $3 to 17. f.) The Registrar of Voters proposes an increase to four of their existing fees that are based on the cost recovery for the services provided. g.) The Clerk of the Board proposes an increase of two fees resulting from increase in the productive hourly rate for its services and increase of one fee due to increase in overhead and direct materials cost. h.) County Counsel proposes a 2.5% increase in the hourly rate for its services. i.) The County Administratorʼs Office fee schedule reflects an increase of $.05 or 13% for the standard photocopies - legal size or smaller (for additional page other than the first page.) This fee is also the standard countywide copy fee. Other departments are authorized per Government Code to charge copy fee which is different from the standard copy fee.

The department is also proposing a new fee for fines collected for violations of Vehicle Code section 22507.8 (unlawful parking in disabled persons and disabled veterans parking spaces. Per Penal Code 1465.5 funds collected through such an assessment be disbursed as provided in Welfare and Institutions Code Section 9545, which can be spent to provide care and case management services to frail elderly and functionally impaired adults j.) The Health and Social Services Department proposes fee adjustments and new fees for its Behavioral Health Services (including mental health and substance abuse) and Public Health Services (including Targeted Case Management, Medical Marijuana ID Card, Vital Statistics, California Childrenʼs Services, Family Health Services and Public Health Laboratory). k.) The Sheriffʼs Office proposes to increase eight existing fees to recover actual administrative and/or service-related costs as allowed by State statutes or regulations. These increases are primarily due to increases in productive hourly rates resulting from employee merit/step increases and COLAs together with higher increases from changes to processes including the number of minutes to perform certain tasks. The proposed fee schedule also reflects decreasing six existing fees to reflect lower operational costs.

Pursuant to Government Code section 29551(b), Solano County may charge a jail access fee. The fee is equal to the actual costs of booking an arrestee into the local detention facility, to a local agency that exceeds their three-year average number of non-felony bookings. Arrests for municipal code violations and most misdemeanor violations are included in the criteria for billing for the non-felony bookings. Arrests for driving under the influence offenses, domestic violence misdemeanor offenses and enforcement of protective orders are excluded from the billable jail access fees. The jail access fee is being recommended to increase by $38.67 and has been included in the fee exhibit. l.) The Probation Department is proposing to delete two collection and other services fees and one adult services fees to align with AB177 (signed by Governor on Sept 23,2021, took effect on Jan 1, 2022) which eliminates the authority of counties and superior courts to impose administrative fees/and or costs on criminal defendants and makes any unpaid balance related to those fees “unenforceable and uncollectible,” and requires that “any portion of a judgment imposing those costs shall be vacated. These fees include Installment Account Processing Fee, Victim Restitution Service Fee and Juvenile Traffic Failure to Appear (FTA) Automation – Admin Fee. The remaining three existing fees remain unchanged. m.) The Sheriffʼs Office oversees the operations of Animal Care and Control Services.

The Sheriffʼs Office recommends increasing nine existing fees to recover actual administrative, and/or service-related costs. These increases are primarily due to minor increases in productive hourly rates resulting from employee merit/step increases and COLAs together with higher increases from changes to processes including number of minutes to perform certain tasks. The proposed fee schedule also reflects decreasing seven existing fees to reflect lower operational costs.

There are 47 existing fees that remain unchanged, of which 11 are for licensing, eight for adoptions, one for redemption, one for boarding, and are based on similar fees charged by neighboring jurisdictions. Included as unchanged are three related to dangerous dog permits and hearings that are set by County ordinance, and three impound penalties established by California statute. Unchanged fees also include three wherein the actual cost of the service is unknown (livestock boarding for example) and 17 wherein cost remained constant. n.) The Department of General Services – Nut Tree Airport proposes fee adjustments for eight fees to reflect 3% CPI increase, ranging between $6 to $21 for fees related to hangar rentals. The department also proposes to increase the Hourly Rate for Administration Staff Service due to increase in cost in providing services. There are two fees adjusted to align with the State mandated fees effective January 1, 2022. The department proposes four new fees for Operational Staff Hourly Rate, Conference Room Rental Rates for full and half day periods, and Hangar Wait List Deposit fee.

If the Board of Supervisors adopts these fees, all will become effective on July 1, 2022, except for the Resource Managementʼs Planning Division fees which will become effective August 13, 2022, to meet the statutory requirements of 60 days following the boardʼs adoption of fees. Supporting documentation for all these fees are available for public review in the County Administratorʼs Office, 675 Texas Street, Suite 6500, Fairfield, CA. In accordance with AB 361, members of the Board of Supervisors and the public may attend the meeting virtually.

Best time to find a job in California?

US trade deficit narrows most on record on muted China imports Experts say this industry is struggling to hire Tribune Content Agency The U.S. trade deficit shrunk in April by the most on record in dollar terms, reflecting a drop in the value of imports amid Covid lockdowns in China while exports climbed.

The gap in goods and services trade narrowed $20.6 billion, or 19.1%, to $87.1 billion, Commerce Department data showed Tuesday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for an $89.5 billion deficit. The figures aren’t adjusted for inflation.

Imports dropped in April as factory activity in China fell to the lowest level since February 2020 amid strict lockdowns to curb the spread of Covid-19. While manufacturing in the country has improved somewhat since, the measures are still straining alreadytenuous global supply chains, especially when coupled with Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The deficit with China decreased in April by $8.5 billion, the most in seven years. Imports dropped $10.1 billion, also the most since 2015.

Decades-high inflation is expected to weigh on trade this year, with the World Trade Organization cutting its forecast for growth in global merchandise volumes. So far though, in the U.S., that hasn’t materialized yet, judging by the nearrecord amounts of goods that arrived at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in April.

In the first quarter, the widening of the trade deficit largely explained the economy’s worst performance since the pandemic recovery

Shipping containers are stacked high at the Port of Los Angeles, April 19, 2021. began, with gross domestic product shrinking at a 1.5% annual pace.

That’s because the value of products American businesses and consumers bought from overseas outpaced purchases of U.S. goods and services by other economies.

The value of imports of goods and services decreased 3.4% in April to $339.7 billion, the first drop since July in a broad-based decline.

Exports increased 3.5% to a record $252.6 billion.

U.S. merchandise imports plunged from a record in March, dropping 4.4%, the most since April 2020, reflecting a decline in inbound shipments of consumer goods, industrial supplies, capital goods and automobiles.

Retailers like Target Corp. and Walmart Inc. are trying to offload excess inventory, accumulated in part as consumers shift more of their spending from goods to services. That may portend fewer imports going forward.

On an inflationadjusted basis, the April merchandise-trade deficit narrowed 14.2% to $116.2 billion.

It’s the best time in 50 years to look for a job in California.

That’s the view of Michael Bernick, who used to run the state’s unemployment agency, an analysis largely echoed by other economists and backed by data.

Many of those jobs are in the hospitality and tourism industries, where California employment still has not reached preCovid pandemic levels.

“There are lots of service jobs available, but businesses can’t hire enough workers to meet the demand,” said Sung Won Sohn, president of Los Angeles-based SS Economics, a consulting firm.

California has been filling jobs quickly. Its unemployment rate in April, the latest data available, was 4.6%, down from 8.3% a year earlier.

The state has gained 925,000 payroll jobs in the previous 12 months, for a total of 17.4 million jobs.

In the Sacramento area alone, for example, roughly 7,600 jobs were gained in April.

The area saw growth in leisure and hospitality, but also in education, health services and government jobs. Labor Market Consultant Cara Welch with the California Employment Development Department said the region has recovered the number of jobs lost during the pandemic, and then some.

“We’re following the same trend as the nation, we’re bouncing back since the pandemic occurred,” Welch said. The Sacramento area has recovered 102% of the jobs lost since March 2020.

A server brings food to customers at a restaurant in Redondo Beach.

But the state also had nearly 1.3 million job openings in March, seasonally adjusted, up from 779,000 a year earlier, according to preliminary data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

And hiring was roughly the same – 656,000 in March 2022 and 646,000 in March 2021.

The data are “consistent with employer reports that they can’t find workers,” said Bernick, now an employment attorney with Duane Morris LLP. Leisure and hospitality got hit hard during the pandemic, which remains a key reason job openings are plentiful.

The state’s Employment Development Department reported 1.88 million payroll jobs in the industry in April, up 331,700 from a year ago and 20,100 from a month earlier. Increases in full-service restaurant employment were a key driver of the increase.

The numbers, though, were still below the 2.05 million leisure and hospitality jobs of February 2020, the month before the pandemic hit.

Why are there so many openings?

It’s difficult to pinpoint precise reasons for all the openings. Throughout last year and early this year, some experts saw increased unemployment benefits and government stimulus payments as reducing motivation to seek work.

But higher unemployment benefits ended in September, and the maximum benefit, which at one point reached $1,050 weekly, has been $450 a week. The last federal stimulus payment program was enacted in March 2021, and monthly child tax credits ended in December.

Some sectors have roared back creating and filling jobs, notably blue collar work such as construction, HVAC tech-

nicians and truck driving.

But other industries lag.

“Even employers with white collar jobs in tech, business services, and health care report far fewer job candidates than prior to the pandemic,” Bernick said.

Ray Perryman, president of a Texas-based economic consulting firm, cited demographic and immigration patterns as a reason for the labor shortage. Many new immigrants often take lower skilled jobs as they climb the economic ladder, but this country has tightened its immigration laws in recent years.

Restaurant owners, notably in San Francisco, have said that in recent months they could not find many of their support staff, who had apparently left the high-cost area.

And, said Bernick, “millennials do seem to be looking at other fields, especially those that appear to have other labor market options.”

Angels fire manager amid 12-game losing streak Tribune Content Agency The Angels fired Manager Joe Maddon on Tuesday, a day after they equaled their franchise single-season record by losing their 12th consecutive game.

Third base coach Phil Nevin was named interim manager. Nevin has managed at Triple-A, but never in the major leagues.

Reached by phone, Maddon declined to comment, but he later said in an interview with Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic that he was surprised by the decision.

Maddon told The Athletic that he and General Manager Perry Minasian had a good relationship, but he hinted at a some degree of disconnect over analytics.

Belmont From Page B1 Kentucky Oaks on May 6.

“Both have trained super,” Pletcher said Tuesday. “We came in right after the Derby was over. Both have trained together and breezed together all three times.”

Pletcher indicated that Mo Donegal might favor the unusual mile-and-ahalf distance of the race.

“He’s a horse definitely from the very beginning showed us he wanted to go longer,” the trainer said.

“I thought he ran a very credible race in the Derby.

He drew the No. 1 post and didn’t break well.”

“It’s been kind of difficult overall,” Maddon said. “I’m into analytics, but not to the point where everybody wants to shove it down your throat.”

Minasian and Nevin are scheduled to speak to the media this afternoon at Angel Stadium before the Angels play the Boston Red Sox. Maddon, 68, was 157-172 in his three seasons with the Angels, the first time in three managerial stops that he didn’t have a winning record.

Maddon was 754-705 with the Tampa Bay Rays, leading them to their first American League pennant. He was 471-339 with the Chicago Cubs, famously leading them to a World Series title that ended a 108year drought.

The Angels had high

expectations under Maddon, but injuries and underperformance of key players doomed the team.

This season the Angels started off strong, with Mike Trout performing at his peak and the pitchers almost all faring as well or better than expectations.

Ironically, the Angels were at their best immediately after the most head-scratching decision of Maddon’s tenure. On vApril 15, Maddon intentionally walked Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager with the bases loaded and the Angels trailing in the fourth inning. The Angels came back to win that game, starting a stretch in which they were 21-9, which improved their overall record to 24-13.

But little has gone right for Maddon and the

Angels since May 16. They have lost 16 of 19 games.

In their current 12-game losing streak, they have blown leads in the seventh inning or later five times.

Over the past 12 games, they have a .596 OPS (27th in the majors) and a 6.40 ERA (29th). Their starters have a 6.88 ERA and their relievers have a 5.88 ERA. Despite the team’s poor play recently, they are still very much within range of making the playoffs under the new expanded format. Three wild card teams in each league with qualify for the playoffs, and the Angels are currently tied for fifth in the wild-card standings, just 1-1/2 games behind the third-place Red Sox.

As for Nest, Pletcher said, “We nominated her (for the Triple Crown in January) with the Belmont as a possibility. She’s a filly that’s well-bred for this race.”

Creative Minister is the only horse in the Belmont who ran on both Kentucky Derby day and Preakness day. Trained by Kenny McPeek, Creative Minister won an allowance optional claiming race on May 7 at Churchill Downs. He then finished third behind Early Voting and Epicenter in the Preakness.

“He’s progressed really, really well, this horse,” McPeek said after the draw, adding that the son of Creative Cause has taken to the Belmont Park

surface and surroundings.

“Fantastic. He’s bitten everybody that’s handled him all week. You like to see that. He’s aggressive.”

McPeek won the 2002 Belmont Stakes with 70-1 shot Sarava. That year, McPeek took Sarava straight to New York after he won the Sir Barton on Preakness day at Pimlico.

He took the same tact with Creative Minister.

“This horse has got a real chance,” McPeek said.

Trained by Johnny Ortiz, Barber Road ran sixth in the Kentucky Derby after a second-place finish in the Arkansas Derby.

Trained by Saffie Joseph, Skippylongstocking finished fifth in

the Preakness last time out after a third-place showing in the Wood Memorial. Golden Glider ran second to We the People in the Peter Pan. Trained by Mark Casse, Golden Glider ran fourth in the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland on April 9.

As a closer, the 80-1 shot Rich Strike benefited from an extremely fast pace in the Kentucky Derby. On paper, at least, there does not appear to be the potential for much pace in the Belmont.

How will that affect the Kentucky Derby winner?

“He’s probably still going to drop back, but probably not as far,” Reed said. “That’s his style of running.”

Deputies search for missing soccer members

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the disappearance of several members of the Haitian Special Olympics soccer team participating in this year’s USA Games.

Antione Joseph Mithon, Nicholson Fontilus, Peter Mianovich Berlus, Anderson Petit-Frere, Steevenson Jacquet and Oriol Jean were last seen Monday around 2:30 p.m. Eastern time at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, according to the sheriff’s office.

A news release states they all turned in their room keys and left behind their personal bags and belongings.
