The Solano County Superior Court recently adopted Local Rule 17.7, in accor dance with California Rules of Court, Rule 10.20, which directs a commit tee to be established to address and remedy any actual or perceived bias in connection with judi cial proceedings or court operations.“Martin Luther King Jr. famously wrote that ‘injustice anywhere is a threat to justice every where.’ He was referring to the fact that justice has not always been fairly and equally admin istered to minorities, women and those of lower social economic means,” Judge Stephanie Grogan Jones, who is a founding member, said in a press release of the commit tee. “The Solano County Superior Court and the Elimination of Bias Com mittee is committed to the fair and equal access justice. The establish ment of the Elimination of Bias Committee is a great step forward in eliminat ing many of the obstacles that people face in obtain ing fair access to justice.”

Left-handed obsession brings dubious payoff

W hen I was about 13, there were a few things I wanted to be. n The San Francisco Giants radio play-by-play announcer. n Someone with better hair. n A member of the Commodores. n Left-handed. I worked on one option a lot: Being left-handed. (Well, I also practiced doing radio playby-play into my tape recorder during the baseball “Game of the Week,” but that was only once a month or so.) Being a lefty was cool. Barack Obama is a lefty. So is Paul McCartney. So were Neil Armstrong and Napoleon. But then, though, I was mostly focused on how cool lefthanded athletes were. Decades later, being a lefty is still cool, despite all the things

And don’t get them started on spiralboundThenotebooks.conclusion? Who cares, because lefties seem cool, par ticularly in sports: The lefty quarterback. The lefty jump shot. A left-handed pitcher. I worked at it, teaching myself to bat left-handed in the way many in my generation did: Wiffle ball, with a light bat. But I didn’t just grab a plastic bat and hit lefty. I had a plan –one I also used while learning how to throw lefty and shoot a basketball left-handed: I watched myself in the mirror. I observed how it looked when I batted, threw or shot righthanded, then mimicked it with my left hand. I was a weird kid. Learning how to do things with the opposite hand is not easy. It takes repetition. But I wanted things to look the same lefty as they were when I did them
Myright-handed.sisterwasalefty, so we had a left-handed baseball mitt. After practicing the throwing motion over and over in front of a mirror, I went out and threw a tennis ball against a wall lefty until it felt kind of normal. Kind of normal. I had to practice. Same with shooting a bas ketball. I practiced shooting lefty on our driveway hoop. Over and over. The result? I got pretty good doing sports lefty, almost as good as I could do things righthanded. (Offsetting fact: I wasn’t very good right-handed at hitting, throwing or shooting a basketball, so the bar was low.) I extended the left-handed obsession beyond sports. I taught myself how to write lefty. I brushed my teeth lefty. I learned how to use a spoon and forkDecadeslefty. later, I benefit from that childhood obsession. I never got a whiff of announc ing for the Giants, I listen to the Commodores and still have bad hair, but I can do some thingsWhenlefty.Ihurt my right shoul der a few years ago, I realized I could still throw things and shoot a basketball. It was awkward, but the practice from decades earlier helped. (Off setting fact: At my age, you’re rarely asked to throw something or shoot a basketball.) Still, my junior high obses sion led to one of my greatest natural skills: I quickly identify left-handed people on movies and TV shows. I shout out, “he’s a lefty!” or “she’s left-handed!” to Mrs. Brad. It’s not the same as being able to throw 80 mph lefthanded, but it’s something. I guess.

Joseph Andrew Waldren Joe’s heart was filled to the brim with the desire of serving Jesus and his church. He wouldn’t hesitate for a second to lend a helping hand. Joe was dedicated to serving at the 5 p.m. Mass on Sundays. He assisted with distributing Holy Com munion and passing out the collection baskets; most of all, he was a cheerful greeter, who welcomed everyone who stepped in the church with an ear-to-ear smile. He took these jobs seriously and was a beautiful example showing reverence to God, especially in the Eucharist. If you tell Joe to arrive an hour early to help out, he would want to arrive two hours early. His zeal for God was so strong and he was such a joyful giver. After Mass, he would want to grab dinner or dessert with the young adults of Corpus Christi and socialize. Everyone loved cracking jokes with Joe and knew he had a great sense of humor. He lived in the moment and wasn’t concerned about yesterday or tomor row. He knew each day was a blessing and would ask God, ‘How do you want me to serve you today?’ An evening gathering of friends and family will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22, 2022, with a Rosary and Vigil service beginning at 5 p.m. at Corpus Christi Catho lic Church, 3550 E.

Reflecting on LNU Fire, what wasn’t done In reflecting on the two-year anniversary of the death of PG&E troubleman Steve Wink while working in the LNU Lightening Complex Fire, it is disturbing to know that local newspapers did not provide any cov erage of the event. Major news outlets throughout the state did cover his death. Why did local newspapers choose to not provide any coverage? Steve was born and raised in Fair field and graduated from Fairfield High School. He lived and worked in the local community for over 25 years. His dedication to the com munity should have warranted local mediaThecoverage.questionthat must be asked is why the local media failed to be transparent with the community and not even ask any questions or report on the incident? Could it be that the Solano County Sheriff’s Office failed to conduct an investigation? Was it that the Solano County Coroner’s Office also failed to investigate, ignored a paramedic’s request for deputies to meet at the hospital, gave PG&E and CalOSHA full access to the scene that provided them with time to make evi dence disappear, and released Steve’s body to the Donor Network West in San Ramon for harvesting prior to theABC10autopsy?investigative reporter Brandon Rittiman accomplished what the media and government agencies failed to do. See ABC10 Fire Power Money, Unexplained Death at PG&E. The 2022 Solano County grand jury conducted an investigation of the Solano County Coroner’s Office. The report is not favorable and can be viewed on the Solano County grand jury website. It has long been an open secret that serious problems exist at the Solano County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office. The mishandling of death investigations and bodies, and the callous disregard shown to family members is appalling and not deserving of public trust. There are no full-time medical per sonnel at the Coroner’s Office. The ongoing failures of the Solano County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office will one day impact you or your family member. Elections have consequences.

The celebration was for the opening of the rejuvenated area for court sports as pickleball and tennis courts plus a futsal court were filled with happySpeechesplayers.honored the efforts of those responsible for making this won derful improvement happen. The breeze had its say, blowing away some prepared presentations, but Hizzoner the Mayor, Harry Price, as usual, did a great job on the mic, giving the nod to those deserving people. His remarks included the hope and desire that the activities there will attract people to the city and the businesses in the area. With some 78 years behind me since I first stepped on a tennis court and subsequently finding racquet sports courts of various kinds around the world, I was impressed. Seldom have I seen such a wonderful public facility provided for the enjoyment of everyone willing and able to come out to learn and play. Now I just hope an appreciative public takes good care of these sports facilities provided at the park. It, and they, deserve the best – so the balls are in your courts.

Mary P. Johnsen, USPTA Elite Professional USOC, Volunteer Coach of the Year-Tennis, 2003 Fairfield Rebuttal to TaiwanambassadorChineseontreaty
Last week, the Daily Republic pub lished an opinion from the Chinese ambassador to the U.S., Mr. Qin Gang, lectured us on our failure to observe treaties regarding Taiwan. It was another verbal attack on our nation –in a series of such blasts – because the Communist Party of China believes we do not have the will to fight back. The opinion was probably pub lished in media all across the U.S. It calls for a response. Where is the WhiteSomeoneHouse?has to respond. For openers, let me remind Mr. Qin of China’s treatment of Hong Kong and its Forpeople.most of the 20th century, Great Britain occupied Hong Kong under the Second Convention of Peking adopted in 1898. That agreement ended several decades of conflict between the two countries and ceded Hong Kong to the British for 99 years. As the end of the treaty period neared, England was willing to peace fully transfer Hong Kong back to China under certain conditions. Over the many decades, Hong Kong had adopted most western policies and customs; the British wanted assur ance that its people would not be subjected to the undemocratic prac tices on the mainland. The “one country, two systems” agreement was reached in Accordingly,1984.in 1997, Hong Kong passed to Chinese control. Almost immediately the Chinese government began erasing the free doms Hong Kong residents had enjoyed. In 2019, massive protests and marches broke out over the repressive measures. They were squelched. “One country, two systems” was dead. We should have challenged Mr. Qin on his country’s failure to observe treaties – there are many – and repeated our commitment to defend Taiwan. Our lack of response will only encourage China to press on. John Takeuchi Fairfield Public hearing meltdown unbecoming

A fter 170 years of population growth – occasionally explosive growth – California is now experienc ing population loss for the first time. As foreign immigration and birth rates declined, they no longer offset net losses in state-to-state migration. Since 2010, 7.5 million people have left California while 5.9 million people have come from other states. That gives rise to a question: Who is leaving Cali fornia and why? “Most people who move across state lines do so for housing, job, or family reasons,” Hans Johnson, a demographer for the Public Policy Institute of Califor nia, wrote earlier this year. Johnson also notes that those who leave California tend to be poorer and less educated than those who migrate to the state, which is not sur prising given that housing and jobs dominate motivations.Thereis,however, a less obvious subset of those who leave California – high-income fam ilies seeking relief from the state’s notoriously highThetaxes.San Francisco Chronicle shed some light on that phenomenon when one of its reporters dove into Internal Revenue Service data that revealed favorite destinations of high-income former San Franciscans. The newspaper found that 39,000 San Fran ciscans who had filed federal tax returns for 2018 had moved out of the city before filing 2019 returns. Collectively, they took $10.6 billion in income with them while people who moved to the city during that period reported just $3.8 billion in income. “The county that saw the wealthiest movers from San Francisco on average was Teton County, Wyoming, home to Jackson Hole and its famed ski resorts,” the Chronicle reported. “The data showed that 40 differ ent families, comprising 63 people total, filed their 2019 taxes in San Francisco and then filed their 2020 taxes in Teton County, accounting for a total of $37 million in income moving from San Francisco to Teton. That is an average of $586,000 per person, according to the IRS data.”
The most political husband and wife team in Fairfield are my good friends, Duane Kromm and Marilyn Farley. They both presented stellar arguments before the Fairfield City Council on Aug. 17, 2022, against agenda item 19 under new busi ness, authorizing the mayor and city manager to execute a potable water service agreement between the Solano Irrigation District and the city for the Middle Green Valley Solano County Specific Plan Area. Poor Mr. Kromm, he just lost it at the public hearing. Realizing he was probably going to lose the issue, he decided to go on a personal attack against Vice Mayor Rick Vaccaro, Councilman Chuck Timm and Coun cilman Scott Tonnesen, accusing them of being bought and paid for by the development community. His emo tions got the better of him. He had to be embarrassed for himself. I person ally felt really sorry for Mr. Kromm, stooping to his personal attacks on members of the council. There is no place for that kind of testimony in the council chamber during a publicLikehearing.mywife says, maybe he needs to be saged to get rid of his negative energy and aura. Mr. Kromm, I am praying for you. Gary Falati, former Fairfield mayor Fairfield I will always protect Travis base Lou Webster’s letter to the editor in the Aug. 7 edition about Travis Air Force Base and a possible nearby development was misleading on several fronts. Please allow me to set the record straight. Travis Air Force Base is a crucial piece of our local economy, and I have worked as a council member to protect it and serve our active duty members, reservists and veterans. In recognition of my work, this spring I was named an honorary commander at Travis Air Force Base. Mr. Webster is publicly listed as the Solano County Republican Party’s Strategic Liaison Director, which he did not disclose in his letter. As the only candidate for supervisor endorsed by the Democratic Party, I’m not surprised to see the misinfor mation campaign begin.

Here are the facts: The discus sion around a development on land that Buzz Oates Development cur rently owns is in its early stages, and no development will proceed without proof that it will not negatively affect base operations. That is precisely why I created Suisun’s Good Neighbor Policy, in which Mr. Webster partic ipated. Through Suisun’s new policy, community members – and potentially affected parties like Travis Air Force Base – have time early in the process to meet the developer and discuss any potential development long before it is permitted. That’s how good gov ernment and good neighbors work together to forge better communities. To be clear, this project is in the very early stage of consideration. Travis Air Force Base has yet to weigh in on any potential impacts, and Suisun City is scheduled to meet with Travis Air Force Base to discuss the matter. Moreover, this poten tial project would need the approval of the city’s Planning Commission, the Solano County Airport Land Use Commission, the City Council and the Solano County Local Agency Forma tion Commission. But whether in my current role as a council member or as a county supervisor, I always have and always will vote with Travis Air Force Base’s interests at heart. Wanda L Williams, Suisun City Council member Suisun City We must protect Travis Air Force Base
After reading a recent letter to the editor regarding a proposed indus trial development near Travis Air Force Base South Gate, I want voters to know exactly where I stand. While the land for this project has been in Suisun City’s sphere of influence since the 1980s, much has changed. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on our nation, Travis shifted all truck deliveries to its South Gate, including sensitive cargo and mil itary equipment that Travis ships around the world. If growth near that gate extensively disrupts base oper ations, it could be devastating to the Travis mission. The military does not comment publicly on individual development projects. The base depends on elected officials to make the right decisions. All of us know how important this area is. No elected official should be igno rant about Militaryit.installations close because incremental encroachment reduces their ability to perform their mission. Encroachment is not just buildings, it’s any negative impact to ingress, egress, flight operations and more. If Travis’ concerns about this project are not eliminated, it should not go Electedforward.officials have a responsibil ity to Travis. Threats change and we must keep up with them. Fairfield and Suisun City should protect Travis and not encourage encroachment that could put Travis on a closure list. Too many Solano County veterans and residents rely on Travis for vital services and jobs. I support economic development, but not at the expense of Travis Air Force Base.

Two other ski resort-heavy counties made the top 10 destinations of San Francisco’s wealthiest movers. Washoe County, Nevada, which includes Lake Tahoe’s Incline Village, was No. 2 while Summit County, Utah, site of the Park City ski resort, was No. 6. Palm Beach, Florida, was No. 3. While the Chronicle article cited the pop ularity of resorts as a destination for wealthy expatriates, the more glaring fact is that their favored new homes are often in states that levy little or no personal income taxes. No-tax states include Wyoming, Nevada, Washington, Texas and Florida. Utah has a flat 4.85% rate. California’s top income tax rate, 13.3% on taxable incomes over $1 million, is by far the nation’s highest and when added to the top federal rate of 37% pushes the overall bite to more than 50%. Moreover, a tax overhaul during the Donald Trump presidency basi cally ended the ability to deduct state income taxes on federal returns. If anything, California’s taxes on the wealthy are likely to increase. Proposition 30, a measure on the November ballot, would boost the top marginal rate to over 15%, raising money for programs to battle climate change, and another tax hike is headed for the 2024Theballot.wealthy are quite capable of protect ing themselves, including moving to another state. However, they are vitally important to California’s schools, health care and myriad other public services. Income taxes account for three-quarters of California’s general fund revenues and the top 1% of California taxpay ers generate nearly half of those taxes. That’s just 150,000 taxpayers in a state of 40 million, so even a trickle of departures has a potentially huge impact on the budget.

Thank you for Voting us #1 Store*Mattress Inspired by a Simon & Garfunkel song, two old friends travel the world to sit on a bench together Tribune ConTenT AgenC MINNEAPOLIS — Larry Bans and Tom Edelstein metItcrabby.was their first day of seventh grade, and the outgo ing Edelstein turned around to introduce himself to Bans at the morning assembly at Highland Park Junior High in St. Paul. “I know who you are,” Bans whined, having done his intel. It turns out that they were trying to date the same girl. Neither ended up with the girl, but Bans and Edelstein ended up as best friends. The kind who painted houses together in high school. The kind who roomed together at the University of Minne sota. The kind who vacation together even though they live 1,600 miles apart. And their mothers became dear friends, to boot. To celebrate their long friendship, Bans, a urologist in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Edelstein, a Realtor in St. Paul, have tried to live out their “big song” from high school – “Old Friends” by Simon & Garfunkel from 1968. “Old friends, old friends Sat on their park bench likeItbookends”started10 years ago when Edelstein had heart surgery. “I was blue and sentimental,” he remembered. “And I said, ‘Here we are turning 60, we gotta start doing something.’” So, the old friends – whose birthdays are four days apart – took a trip together, and, as a nod to Simon & Garfunkel, they were photographed sitting on a park bench. In this case, it was actually a natural bench – a piece of wood over the headwa ters of the Mississippi River in Itasca State Park. They’ve been “benching” every year since, save for one year of the pandemic and another when Edelstein injured his foot the day before the scheduled trip. They’ve been to the Grand Canyon, the Blue Ridge Moun tains and the fjords of Norway, among other spots, in search of the right bench. They take turns picking the destinations, the old friends explained last month at Edel stein’s realty office. “He likes more exotic travels,” Edelstein said of Bans. “And he’s really a big-time hiker. Nature really speaks to him.” The buddies document their sightseeing-oriented bench trips with lots of photos. Each journey is commemorated in a hard cover book, which have ranged from 34 to 92 pages. Their bench photos are not selfies. The ever-smil ing pals ask strangers to snap the“Wepictures.walked into this art gallery in Santa Fe and there was a bench that was Native American, and it occupied the entire length of the studio,” Bans said. “We explained the whole thing to the guy who owns the studio, and he takes the pan oramic [photo]. That bench had to be 15 to 18 feet and it kind of curved around. I was there a year later. The bench sold.” On their trip to Zion National Park, a guide helped search for an ideal photo op. “This kid gets us to this rock in the waters of the Narrows,” Bans remem bered. “And he’s in the water literally taking our picture and he says, ‘This is so unique. I’ve never been on a bench trip.’” The benches vary as much as the locales – from a wagon-wheel seat outside a restaurant in Jackson Hole, Wyo., to a natural resting place dubbed Clam Rock in White Pocket, Utah. Not all the old friends’ trips are about pursuing the perfect place to park their derrieres. They’ve traveled to destinations on their bucket lists including New Zealand, Banff and Pata gonia, with side excursions to Buenos Aires, the Straits of Magellan and Cape Horn. They also occasionally ren dezvous for concerts in the States – Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Chicago, Alabama and the Righteous Brothers, to name a few. But the friends have never gone together to see Paul Simon and/or Art Garfunkel, coinci dentally, two pals since grade school. Opportunities to see them perform are limited since Simon retired from touring in 2018, and this summer Garfun kel canceled a European tour because of Covid concerns. This month, Bans and Edel stein have a bench trip planned to New York City. They want life to imitate Simon & Gar funkel’s art: Can you imagine us years from today Sharing a park benchHowquietly?terribly strange to be 70 Old friends, memory brushes the same theSilentlyyearssharingsamefears Both of them will turn 70 in late August. This time, for a change, they will be joined by Edelstein’s wife, Randy, and Bans’ partner, Debra Revzen, who produces the annual bench books. They’ve got tickets to “MJ the Musical,” the Michael Jackson Broad way show, and reservations at some choice restaurants. But they haven’t picked out an allimportant bench. They are contemplating a few spots. Central Park at 70th Street. Or by the 59th Street Bridge, in honor of S&G’s “The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy).” Or across the street from Simon’s longtime Man hattan apartment. They’d like his“We’readvice. going to ask Paul Simon which bench and see what he thinks,” Bans said with chutzpah and a prayer. “We want him to understand how influential his lyrics have been for us for many, many years.” And to see if maybe, just maybe, he’ll snap the photo graph of these two old friends on a park bench.
Labor market This week’s labor market figures remained robust, with applications for unemployment insur ance stabilizing at a historically low level in the week ended Aug. 13. Filings have gradually moved up in the past few months, potentially sug gesting some cooling, but altogether, the data indi cate the labor market remains extremely tight. Similarly, continuing claims have edged up in recent weeks but are still a stone’s throw from the multi-decade low seen in mid-May.Thelatest regional Fed manufacturing snapshots also pointed to a stronger hiringEarlieroutlook.this month, the July jobs report showed that labor demand remains extremely strong as employers added more than double the number of jobs forecast and the unemployment rate fell to 3.5% – matching a fivedecade low. The August update will come out early next month. Outlook Looking ahead, one indicator in particu lar this week suggested storm clouds are building for the economy. The Conference Board’s leading economic index, which includes metrics like the S&P 500 index of stock prices and building permits, fell for a fifth straight month in July. The group says this suggests greater recession risks in the near term. “Consumer pessimism and equity market vola tility as well as slowing labor markets, housing construction, and man ufacturing new orders suggest that economic weakness will intensify and spread more broadly throughout the U.S. economy,” said Ataman Ozyildirim, the Con ference Board’s senior director of economics. “We have been here a couple of times,” he said. “She really loves it.” They planned to drive over to the Western Railway Museum and ride the train afterward. Get the Rush occurs the third Saturday of the month. There are oppor tunities to ride in an old-fashioned wagon, see a blacksmith working and take a walk through the marshlands.“Wetryto plan an event on these Saturdays that coincide with something going on nationally,” said Diana Holokahi, engage ment specialist for Solano Land Trust. “People love the wagon rides.”
“They are bigger than the horses which are housed here,” Holokahi said. Along with taking in the beauty of the marshlands, visitors can learn about the native habitat that includes birds, mammals, and flora and fauna. “The goal is to encour age kids to love the land,” Holokahi said. “We want to inspire the next gener ation so the love can be passedSolanoon.”Land Trust was founded in 1986 as the Solano County Farmlands and Open Space Founda tion with the dedication of open space advocates, land developers and a municipal government working together to benefit the community.

The Land Trust has managed to perma nently protect more than 22,000 acres of natural areas and agricultural lands, which without the support of donors and supporters would mean that those lands would not be available to make memories like those the Chavarria family has made over the years. Solano Land Trust is looking to do something with the Solano County Library next month for Get the Rush, but no plans are ready yet. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities for those who love the open spaces of the area and want to share that joy with others. Go to moresolanolandtrust.orghttps://forinformation.
cardboard. In a call with investors earlier this week, Children’s Place CEO Jane Elfers described the surge in cotton prices as “a huge, huge problem for us” and said the company was hoping to see some relief in the second half of the year. The outlook for Brazil is anything but helpful. The drought there has already dried up an esti mated 200,000 metric tons of supply, accord ing to Abrapa, a group representing growers. With the nation’s 2021-2022 harvest close to complete, production is now seen at 2.6 million tons – or less. Bom Futuro group, one of Brazil’s largest cotton producers account ing for about 10% of the nation’s planted area, has seen yields fall 27% compared with the pre vious season. Julio Cezar Busato, a grower in Sao Desiderio, Bahia state, has suffered from a similar decline. Dryness is reducing the number of cotton bolls, making them lighter across all of the country’s main growing regions, he Meanwhile,said.U.S. output is set to plunge 28% in the season that began this month. The U.S. expects production to hit the lowest level since the 2009-2010 season, sending stockpiles to near-his toric lows, because of a drought that has become so extreme that the U.S. government is rationing water from the Colorado River. Together, the U.S. and Brazil account for half of the world’s cottonTheexports.decline in global supplies has become so steep that it’s overshadow ing demand headwinds. The U.S. government and analysts have been pro jecting a drop in demand due to a slide in clothing purchases and slowing economies, especially in Europe and Asia. And yet all signs point to “much higher” cotton prices in the coming months with crops shrinking, said Andy Ryan, senior relationship manager for Hedgepoint Global Markets in Nashville. Busato, who also serves as the head of Abrapa, sold 75% of what he expected to harvest in advance and ended up largely missing out on the big surge in prices. Because of the weather, he only pro duced enough to meet his already-existing contrac tual obligations. “I could have made a mountain of money,” he said. The weather has created a secondary headache for the cotton buyers of the world. Untimely rains in regions including Australia, Pak istan and even Brazil have also diminished the quality of the stock, said Peter Egli, director for Plexus Cotton Ltd. So as not to be blind sided for another season, Brazilian farmers are set to increase their cotton-growing areas by 100,000 hectares to 1.7 million hectares for the 2022-2023 season, with plantings beginning in January. Now that most of the current crop there has been sold, farmers are looking to start hedging the 2023 harvest more aggressively. “We don’t want to lose Asian markets that we gained recently,” Busato said. and appliances stores, and online retailers. The data suggest the backbone of the economy is largely holding up in the face of the fastest inflation in a genera tion. The spending mix, however, appears to have changed to more essential goods as inflation forces shoppers to pay more for basic items. Plus, people are spending more on services like travel. Big retailers like Walmart Inc. and Target Corp. are gearing up for a healthy shopping season this fall after sharply cutting prices on things like apparel and kitchen appliances in recent months that reflected a swift change in consumer preferences. Others aren’t as sure. “The staying power of consumers has been quite robust, but it’s showing signs of running out,” Wells Fargo & Co. econ omists Tim Quinlan and Shannon Seery said after the retail sales report. “Our baseline expecta tion is for consumers’ staying power to last into Labor Day, and once the kids return to school and the bills come due, house holds will begin to tighten theirMorebelts.”complete July spending data, which includes services, will be released later this month.

Meantime, more buyers canceled home-purchase deals, adding to the sector’s woes. The nearly 26% decline in previously owned home sales since January marks the steep est six-month plunge in records back to 1999. And while inventory is picking up, many prop erties continue to sell quickly. Mortgage rates have started to ease some, while home price growth is starting to slow, but only“We’regradually.witnessing a housing recession in terms of declining home sales and home build ing,” said Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors. “However, it’s not a recession in home prices.

Into that unlikely scenario wanders Elba’s Nate and daughters Mer edith and Norah (Iyana Halley and Leah Jeffries), who are on a mission of reconciliation after their African-born mother has died while estranged from Nate, leaving the film’s hero with some healing to do. It’s not just recon ciliation he seeks, but redemption for being absent from his family during their time of need. And as everyone knows, redemption, at least in Hollywood, requires sac rifice. All this falls into place, like a morality play, against a scenic backdrop, with solid performances rendered by the afore mentioned actors and Sharlto Copley, who plays an old friend of the family and their tour guide to the wildlife preserve in which the action takes place.

Yet, accord ing to the Bible, this can be the church’s finest hour. The book of Acts tells us about a church that meets the needs of the forgotten, the ignored, the overlooked, the desper ate and the needy. We are major partners with City Church that brings hope to the homeless. We are also major partners with Grassroots Healthcare, which offers a free medical clinic to the commu nity. Our church offers hope and help to those who just need to get back on their feet. I think about a man who joined our church. Life’s crush ing circumstances left him addicted, home less and jobless. He came to City Church a broken man. Yet after grad uating from the program, he is back driving his truck, he has a place to live, and he is addiction free. That’s when the Gospel becomes believable. It’s the love of Jesus in action through his people. May he use his people to stand in the gap in this desperate hour of economic crisis.

Editor’s note: Annie Lane is off this week. The following column was originally pub lished in 2019. Dear Annie: My wife and I are approaching 50 years of marriage. Recently, we went on a cruise with her child hood friend, “Cindy,” and her husband, “Rob.” They have been friends since elementary school and Cindy was the maid of honor at ourDuringwedding.the cruise, Rob made a joke of a comment Cindy made, and I laughed at the delivery, no malice intended. Rob laughed, too. A few moments later, Cindy told me that I was rude and had always been rude. This took me by surprise because I’ve known her and thought we were friends for more than 40 years. I apologized for hurting her feelings and asked her to accept my apology. She turned her back to me and walked away, not saying anything. Since that inci dent, I have avoided her. I just tolerate her presence for my wife’s sake. My wife doesn’t know that this incident took place, and I won’t ever mention it to her for fear that their long relationship will be damaged. If it ever comes to light, it won’t come from me. I was not aware that she harbored such feelings all these years and I resolved to move on from that uncomfort able incident. Life is too short to harbor resentment. It doesn’t have a place in my heart, just forgiveness. — Moving on Toward the Sun Dear Moving on Toward the Sun: I wouldn’t take this single conversation to mean the entire 40 years of friendship was a sham and she’s always har bored resentment toward you. Her husband made the joke; you just laughed at it. It sounds as though he might be the one whom she’s really frustrated with, but you got caught in theIncrossfire.anycase, I think you should share with your wife what happened. You needn’t present it as you vs. Cindy. Recount the incident, being sympathetic to Cindy in your your wife can help patch things over or offer some insight into Cindy’s behavior; perhaps not. But she is your wife, and you shouldn’t keep things from her, even though you’re doing so with the best of intentions. Dear Annie: A few days ago, I was at a grocery store that was packed. Every cashier had long lines. There was a beauti ful little girl, maybe 3 or 4 years old, in the line next to me who saw a Minnie Mouse balloon that she loved. I mean, really loved. I decided, what the heck, I’ll get it for her (first asking her parents if it was OK), because my twin girls are 16 and long past the age of being delighted by balloons. I tell this not to show how nice I am, but to cleaned the conveyor belt for the cashier. Someone else invited an older lady to go ahead of her in line. A young man paid for a harassed mother’s diapers and formula. It was as though the whole store got nicer and politer. Each kindness has a chain reaction, but usually you don’t get to see it. This time I did, and it was so cool. — Choose to Be Kind Dear Choose to Be Kind: Kindness is catching. Not only did your consideration ripple outward to everyone in that store; it’s now inspired me and, I’d wager, many reading this to try to be just a little more gener ous today. Thanks for writing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The most impor tant words ever uttered in the history of speaking wouldn’t matter in the least if spoken with weak intention. And utterly inane words spoken with confidence can open doors. The right energy will be key today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You provide what’s needed and serve it up in a way that is most pleasant and convenient for others. For this reason, you’ll get what every suc cessful person needs – opportunities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As much as you enjoy striving for an ideal and doing your best, perfection is not your friend. The futile notion of getting it all right can only stand in the way of fun and connection with your fellow flawed humans. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). For the guitar to make a sound, there must be tension on the strings. There is tension in one of your relationships, too, and if you rush to relieve it, you might spoil the har monic potential. It’s interesting music you’re making here. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know you’re right, but it’s still important to defend yourself against the oppo sition. In doing so, you’ll fortify your confidence. When dealing with a group, you’ll only be as right as you can convince people you are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If the service is bad, it’s a fair indication the food will be, too. There’s usually a graceful point in which to get out while the getting’s good, but you have to be watching for it. This advice applies to dating, too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s a time of reorganization, especially of your mate rial possessions. You get the most value out of the items you use on the regular. As for the rest, the more you let go of, the happier you will be. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The time is coming for you to give a gift. The thought you put into will not only save you money but also elevate the gesture to something much more meaningful. Think ahead. It’s not about the size or cost; it’s about artful specificity.

P laying youth sports can be an exciting and fun part of your child’s life, giving them opportunities to stay fit and active. Starting sports at a young age can help them develop good health habits, increasing the likelihood of lower body fat, stronger muscles and bones, and increased cardiovascular fitness. Sports can also teach children the value of teamwork and good sportsmanship.Itisalsoimportant to make sure they are prepared for the upcoming sportsSportsseason.injuries, such as pulled muscles and concussions, send more than 2.7 million children to emer gency rooms every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Common sports injuries vary depending on the sport but can include jammed fingers for basketball players or head injuries and ACL tears in foot ball players. Baseball pitchers can often struggle with arm injuries. Here are some ways to ensure your child is prepared: n One of the best ways to ensure your child is physically ready for any sport is to get a sports physical. A sports physical is typically a require ment before a young athlete can play an organized sport. The goal is to ensure your child is in good health to safely participate. Make sure the doctor reviews your child’s medical history and does a thorough examina tion, including measuring the blood pressure and listening to their heart. The doctor should also make sure that your child’s muscles and joints are in good shape. n Before kids play sports, they should do a simple warm-up routine. Warming up primes the body for the more active movements to come. A good warm-up also offers the benefits of both injury prevention and improves performance. Encourage kids to cross-train. Overuse injuries, such as stress fractures, occur because athletes may be repetitively using one body part, which doesn’t give it the downtime to repair itself. If your child is very focused on one sport, make sure that their training also incorpo rates activities that work different muscles. For example, if your daughter runs track, urge her to add swimming to her regimen. Cross training has been shown to prevent overuse injuries to one area of the body. n Make sure children have the proper gear that fits well. Watch for injuries in your child. Don’t let them play through pain. This can lead to further pain and chronic injuries that can keep your child out of play and sports for long durations. n Build in time for rest days. Children should take at least one day off to rest and recover. n Stay hydrated. Players can avoid heat exhaustion and heatstroke by drinking water or sports drinks often. Have them drink 7 to 10 ounces before exercising, then continue sipping throughout the game or practice. Chills, dark-colored urine, dizziness, weakness, headaches or dry mouth can be the signs of heatstroke and is a medical emergency. One important thing to keep in mind is to make sure your child is enjoying sports. Beware of getting too competitive. Sports should be a fun way to stay active without causing children stress or anxiety. Above all, we want them to be safe.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s no reason to be in a dilemma alone, especially when you consider that to some people this choice would be a snap because they make such decisions every day. Bring more people into mix and you’ll get clarity. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are unlikely to hit your goal without a system of accountability. This might be a person, a group or a tool. The more you enlist in your process, the better. It lightens the load so much you may even forget that it’s work.
by Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s normal to fear what is different and be drawn to the safety of what is similar. It is just as normal to do the opposite. You’ll be fasci nated by the foreign. Peculiarity piques your interest, and your curiosity will drive you to discover.

Jeffrey Missouri also ran a punt return for a touchdown among the Mustangs’ scoring plays. “There was plenty of excitement,” Rodri guez head coach Myles King said. “There were too many penalties and we’re going to have to clean that up.” At Yuba City, Vanden quarterback Tre Dimes connected with Brayden Chavez on a 70-yard touchdown pass.

SuSan SluSSeR SAN FRANCISCO DENVERCHRONICLE—For the first time in nine years, San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt is batting lower than seventh in the starting lineup against a righthanded starter. This probably should not be a shock. Belt is 0 for his past 13 entering Saturday night’s game at Coors Field, and 2 for his past 34. He was so uncomfortable in his third at-bat Thursday against Arizona’s Zac Gallen, he bunted with two strikes and struck out with a foul Usually,ball.though, Belt is a middle-of-the-order hitter for the Giants, and the Rockies aren’t start ing Gallen. Their starter is rookie Ryan Feltner, but there was Belt, batting eighth. This move was made to take the heat off Belt as he tries to get back in sync. “In this particular case, I think it’s just a nice opportunity to take a little pressure off,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “He’s been hitting in the four (hole), the two (hole) so much, I think it’s maybe a little bit less spot light down there at the bottom – and sometimes it’s nice to have a danger ous bat down there.”
Playing almost the entire first half was great for his conditioning – and his“Hereputation.brings an intim idation factor, for sure,” defensive end Nick Bosa said of Kinlaw after the 49ers’ practice Wednes day with the Vikings. “. . .

I’m just glad he’s feelingKinlawgood.”said in April his goal this season was to get to the quarterback more often, rather than just be a run stuffer with his 6-foot5, 319-pound frame. Another point of emphasis for him was to not rely on his bull rush. On a second-quar ter play, Kinlaw showed great hands in immedi ately swiping his way past the left guard, but the Vikings had a quick-throw completion.Bracketing Kinlaw on his sack – late in the first quarter – were defensive ends Drake Jackson and Kemoko Turay.

Kinlaw ripped inside past right guard Ed Ingram and sacked quar terback Kellen Monds inside the Vikings’ 5-yard line, touching off Kin law’s celebratory shuffle through the end zone and to the 49ers’ bench, where teammates greeted him with smiles and high-fives.

After a scoreless first half, the Wildcats picked it up in the second and found motivation later when teammate Kristopher Butters was injured after a 33-yard punt return. Wright said that Butters had a left ankle dislocation and two fractures in his leg with a prognosis of being out at least four to six weeks. “We really came together as a team when KD went down and held it together,” Delatorre said. “We were motivated to honor him with a win. We brought great energy.” Wood scored for the first time with 8:33 left in the third quarter. Randy Chalmers dove over from 1 yard out for a score and a 6-0 lead. The point-after failed but after a penalty the Wildcats tried to run in a two-point conversion and that failed, too.

From there, his season went south: a 7.94 ERA over his final eight starts left his ERA for the year at 4.28. “I feel like I had a good year,” Blackburn said, “but just from an athlete’s standpoint, everything that sticks in your head is what just happened.”

He worked 1 2/3 innings and allowed four runs (two earned) on six hits with two strikeouts. He became the 55th player used by the A’s this season, break ing the Oakland record set in 2007 and tied in 2017.

Nose guard Jericho Johnson led the Armijo defense with seven tackles, one forced fumble and a sack. Julian Soto added six tackles and Brown contributed five. “It was a good per formance on our part,” Armijo head coach Don Mosley said. “We had a slow first quarter but showed some resil iency and scored 20 unanswered points after halftime to make a game of it. We made some great adjustments.” In Davis, Brody Fortunati finished 11-for-27 passing for 271 yards and four touch downs in leading the Bulldogs to victory over the Blue Devils. Fortu nati also rushed seven times for 24 yards and a touchdown.Fortunati had a 10-yard touchdown pass to Isaak Bubak, a 75-yarder to Brady Mott, one for 11 yards to Jemeir Buckner and a 13-yard scoring strike to Cristian Diosdado.

Wood From Page
Butters set up the Wildcats with great field position after his punt return. Wood couldn’t muster much of a drive and was forced to punt. The Patriots later blocked a punt near the Wildcats’ goal line with 9:17 left in the game and Ryan Pearson picked the ball up in the end zone for a touchdown. Matthew Nunez tacked on the point-after kick and it was 7-6 Pioneer. Pioneer was driving again for a second score but Darrius Hickenbot tom had the defensive play of the game for Wood. He intercepted a Pearson pass and raced 38 yards into Patriots’ territory. That set up the drive with Sayre’s finalWoodscore.came away with the win but left a lot on the field. The Wildcats were able to penetrate the red zone but unable to score, often because of penalties, including an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a target ing call. There were also two missed field goalTheattempts.Wildcats fin ished with 196 yards rushing and 57 passing. Sayre connected on a 46-yard pass to Butters on the first drive of the second half that set up the first score and seemed to energize the WoodWrightsideline. credited middle linebacker Jaren Ford, Hickenbottom, defensive end Zephaniah Sitaietasi and free safety Jacob Emmerson with solid games on defense. Pioneer finished with just 34 yards rushing but passed for 187. Julian Munoz had five catches for 99 yards. But the Wood defense stood strong, highlighted by the Hickenbottom inter ception and a big sack of quarterback Carson King for a seven yard loss by Nicholas Brown and Avery Beal on Pio neer’s first drive of the secondWoodhalf.will be back in action next Friday with a game on the road at Casa Roble.
