But there are lots of others we need to hear. When someone speaks the truth, straight from the heart, we are wise to listen closely and take from it what we need. Here are some examples: n As a child, drying dishes with my grand mother, I dropped her favorite platter and cried, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to break it!” “Child,” she said, drying my tears with her apron, “accidents happen. I know you’d never do anything inten tionally wrong.” I’ve often fallen short of those words. But they were my first lesson in forgiveness and grace. n Once, when I was 10, feeling homely and sad, my brother Joe said, “Sister, you’re a beauty.” Joe was blind, but he was gifted at seeing things others never saw, and at saying words that needed to be heard. I still felt a bit homely, but not so sad. It’s hard to be sad if you feel loved. n In 12th grade, praying for a way to go to college, I wrote an essay titled “My Life.” After reading it, my English teacher took me aside and said, “You’re a writer. You might not know what it means now, but you will someday. Just keep writing.” I’ve been writing for years and still don’t know what it means. But I like to think that he knew. n From the day she was born, people often said my little girl was beautiful. I’d smile at her and say, “Yes, she’s a beauty. She’s also smart and funny and kind.” I liked all those people a lot. Especially the ones who said she looked just like her mama. n My mother grew up with little praise and never saw much need to give it. The best thing she ever said to me came the day I phoned to tell her I had won a national award for my column. “For your what?” she“Forsaid.my column, Mama. You know, that thing I write every week for“Oh,”newspapers?”shesaid,

In the final hours of my first husband’s battle with cancer, I told a friend, “I don’t think I can do this. How can I help him and our children get through it?” “You can,” she said. “You will. God will give you all you need.” She always spoke the truth, straight from her heart. I had to believe her. And she was right. Some people seem born with a gift for saying just the right thing at just the right time to make us smile, forgive ourselves or do what we fear we can’t do. But we don’t need to be born with that gift to make it our own and use it to help others. It doesn’t take a great chef to know when someone is starving and give them something to eat. We can all find the words that will feed a hungry soul, as long as those words are true and spoken from the heart. Who needs your words today?

On another occa sion, I sat on the floor with a kindergarten class and recalled a story from my childhood of how I tripped my brother (not the blind one, the one I called Monkey Boy) on a barbed wire fence and he got stitches in his leg. I told them I felt awful about it, had no idea what made me do it, and was so glad my brother forgave me.

This is clearly an impressive array of lofty educational values and teaching strategies. But just how unusual are such qualities? Of course, there’s no way to know for sure. After all, there are more than 3 million public school teachers in America. They can’t all be like Kurt Russell. So, to narrow my focus, I read the narra tive description of the 2022 teacher of the year for the Fairfield-Suisun School District, Christo pher Romo. Here’s what I found. Christopher has taught special education at Fairfield High for 20 years. He is passionate about addressing the “holistic needs” of every student. He works “hand-in-hand” with the community on multiple fronts, and he strongly believes that “the community serving our schools and the schools serving the community are one in the same.” (And there is much more.) It’s encouraging to know that one doesn’t have to look far and wide to find exemplary teach ers like Kurt Russell (and, of course, Chris topher Romo).

Dixon seeks support from county for railroad overcrossing project

A number of Green Valley Highlands res idents attended the meeting, reiterating their concerns about what amounts to com mercial ventures being allowed in residential areas – and reminding the committee members of the problems their neigh borhood had with a single rental property. It was those problems that essentially led to a county moratorium on the so-called “tourist homes” for most areas of the unincorporated area. One exception is the Suisun Valley specific plan area. The rentals are viewed as supporting the ag tourism model of the region. The moratorium has been in place since AprilAnother2021. issue for the county is the number of property owners oper ating the short-term vacation rentals without the required permit. The ordinance “could develop a process to temporarily suspend operation with verifica tion of ongoing complaint (three times in any twoyear period) and revoke (upon) confirmed major complaint. ‘Three strikes’ places operation on hold for a fixed period,” a report to the com mitteeThestates.vacation rentals would not be allowed in areas for which the state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is responsible that are con sidered to have a very high fire risk. The proposal requires an overview of hazards 428-9871 Oliver Road, report to the board states. In the United States, 45,979 people died by suicide in 2020, of which 4,144 were California residents. There are an estimated 1.2 million suicide attempts in the United States each year, the resolution states, citing the National Insti tute of Mental Health. Of the 54 2021 suicide deaths in Solano, 76% were male, 54% were adults ages 30-59, 24% were seniors 60 or older, 17% were young adults ages 19-29, and 4% were ages 0-18.

Accepted the Audi tor-Controller’s Internal Audit Division’s internal control review of the Solano County Health and Social Services Public Guardian. There were three “significant deficiencies” identified, all of which are being corrected, the report states. The three areas of concern are: Lack of upto-date inventory listings of clients’ personal belongings at both the on-site vault (for items of value such as jewelry and keys) and the off-site storage (for personal effects such as photos and books); untimely rec onciliation for bank accounts and net client property value, and sub mission of court account ings; and policies and procedures not updated timely to reflect opera tional practices.

“The county supports Travis Air Force Base and Cannon Road is a pri ority of Travis,” Terry Schmidtbauer, director of the county Department of Resource Management, said in a phone interview. Supervisor John Vasquez, who sits on the committee with Supervi sor Jim Spering, said the point is that the county does not want to leave an impression that the Dixon project is a higher pri ority than Cannon Road, and noted that after those comes the need to address Midway Road. The project has the support of the Solano Transportation Authority, which called the project “critical” in a letter to the county seeking support.

Power outage leaves thousands in dark, shuts down classes at Solano College

Barr, the city’s engineer and util ities director, could not be reached Monday forAcomment.keyelement to the project is the closure of the Pitt School Road railway crossing once the Parkway Boulevard over crossing is completed. That is an issue of safety, but also one in which a grant being sought requires a railway cross ing to be closed if the funds are awarded. One man was killed when the truck he was driving was struck by an Amtrak train in July 2017, and Schmidtbauer said the crossing is one of the highest at-risk crossings in theTheregion.Solano Transpor tation Authority letter also reflects the anticipated growth in the area, with more than 1,000 new fam ilies by 2025, a population bump of 25%. That would only add to the conges tion and safety risks, the agency“Thestated.Parkway Bou levard Overcrossing Project will provide a vital safety connection over a passenger and freight rail corridor with over 40 trains per day travel ing in excess of 79 miles per hour,” the Solano Transportation Authority letterThestates. overcrossing would, according to the city, reduce the traffic at Pitt School Road and at Midway Road, which sup ports the plan to close the railway crossing at Pitt School Road. The city is not seeking financial support from the county.

She was 79 years Susieold.was born in Sonoma, Cal ifornia, to John and Betty Thomas. She attended schools in Sonoma, gradu ating from Sonoma Valley High School in 1960.

Upon her graduation, Susie joined John at his perma nent assignment as an instructor in the Mainte nance Officer Course at Chanute AFB, Rantoul, Illi nois.

On top of the Old Bailey, the famous criminal court in London, stands Justice. She holds a sword in her right hand and scales in her left. Across her eyes is a blindfold. Bridge players sometimes feel like her. We weigh the evidence, but because some cards are hidden, contracts make that can be defeated, and vice Burrellversa.Ives Humphreys, a former Superior Court judge from New Jersey, brought off a brilliant coup in today’s deal from a duplicate game -- because West couldn’t see Humphreys’ cards. Against three no-trump, West led the diamond three: seven, queen, king. Humphreys knew that if he conceded a club trick, the defenders could run four or five diamond tricks. To try to deflect the course of justice, Humphreys made an incredible play: At trick two, he led the diamond jack! Thinking South was strong in diamonds, West – an expert with many titles to his name – ducked his ace. Immediately, Humphreys cashed four spades, two hearts and one club for his contract.Atthe end of the evening, though, Humphreys found that he had scored 0 matchpoints! Every other South had won 10 or 11 tricks. Maybe some Wests didn’t lead a diamond. However, it seems more likely that the declarers played the ace and another club, either immediately or after crossing to dummy with a spade. When West won with the club king, he couldn’t envisage the diamond distribution. Instead, he switched to a major, refusing to give South a trick with the diamond jack. As Humphreys might have said, justice definitely wasn’t done – or seen to be COPYRIGHT:done.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Something about an interac tion doesn’t seem quite right. Make a mental note to consider in your private contempla tions. Your subconscious is alerting you, though it may not be quite time yet to act on the information.

A COUP WORKEDTHATAND LOST

Editor’s note: Annie lane is off this week. The following column was originally run in 2019 Dear Annie: I live out in the country and have found a consis tently wonderful kennel for my dog. The people who work there are the owner and two helpers; all are kind, efficient and obviously dog lovers. The kennel costs $40 per night. My question is, how much of a tip to leave? Sometimes, one of the helpers is working when I pick up my dog, and sometimes it’s the owner. Should I tip differ ently for the helpers versus owner? Please advise. I want to do right by them! — Asking for a Tip on Tips Dear Asking for a Tip: Thank you for your kind words. You sound like a thoughtful and considerate person. Typ ically, tipping can be between 15 to 20% of the services ren dered. Tipping the owner is not technically considered proper etiquette, as the tip should go to the employees. But since you frequent this business often and love the services they provide for your dog, it is a kind gesture to tip generously. Dear Annie: In response to “Sick of Being Treated This Way,” I am 73 and have spent much of my life being complimented on looking and acting younger than my age. Of course, I enjoy those compliments. After all, doesn’t our culture glorify youthfulness? But I have had nat urally white hair for a few decades, and I guess my wrinkles, though few, are start ing to show more. So, yes, sometimes people do offer me a seat or ask if I’d like help car rying a heavy item from a store even though I regularly carry heavy loads while maintain ing my garden. But you know what? I’ve learned to take much of this as a way to show respect for their elders, something done far better in other cultures where youth has not been put on the pedestal we seem to have given it. In fact, when I think back to the times when this has bothered me, it’s because it is my ego kicking in, wanting to somehow pretend that I am part of that great American worship of all that is young. At the same time, is it not a sign of kindness (or maybe even guilt) when a young and healthy person sees someone who might be a little frailer and decides to offer them their seat? If you don’t want to take their offer, why not just say, “No, thanks anyway,” and be happy they cared enough to ask? When I am asked if I need help carrying my groceries, I can appreciate that they noticed that I might be struggling and then smile and say thank you – and maybe even let them take on the load, even if it’s not necessary. Why is it we so often have to take offense when others are trying to reach out? Is it because our pride won’t let us look a little vulnerable or needy? Being “treated differ ently just because you have lived longer” is perhaps a good thing, a sign that respect and concern hasn’t gone the way of the dark ages! — Happy With Living Longer Dear Happy With Living Longer: You offer a great per spective on aging. Our culture does seem to glorify youth fulness. Yet growing older is a privilege and something to be celebrated. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

The show, which also debuted on streaming service HBO Max, had big boots to fill. The original series, “Game of Thrones,” steadily grew into HBO’s biggest series ever. It ended after eight seasons in May 2019 with an enor mous audience – its finale drew more than 19 million viewers – but that story’s ending fell short of expectations for some of its most ardent fans. The latest incarna tion, based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood” book, is set in the fictional Westeros about 200 years before the “Game of Thrones” mayhem. The new series struck familiar themes: a succession drama filled with jealousy, flying dragons and gory human deaths. Most critics’ reviews were favorable. “It was wonderful to see millions of ‘Game of Thrones’ fans return with us to Westeros last night,” Casey Bloys, HBO and HBO Max chief content officer, said in a statement.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden intends to announce his long-delayed decision on canceling some student debt on Wednesday. Biden has yet to finalize the details of his plan, but any choice he makes on the contentious issue is likely to draw criticism from both parties and risks shifting the political winds that have recently begun blowing in Demo crats’Bidenfavor.returns from a two-week vacation Wednesday and prep arations are underway for an event at the White House to announce his decision, according to a person familiar with the matter. Aides expect the president to land some where close to forgiving up to $10,000 of federal student loan debt for borrowers earning less than $125,000 a year, the person said. More than 40 million Amer icans making under $125,000 have at least some student debt. Biden had vowed to act before Aug. 31, when the latest pandemicdriven moratorium on federal student loan pay ments runs out. He is also weighing whether to extend that pause on loan payments and interest one more time. President Donald Trump first suspended payments in March 2020, and Biden has granted four extensions. So far, the suspensions have cost the federal government more than $100 billion. More than 40 million Americans owe a collec tive $1.6 trillion in federal student loans. A fight over student loans could slow the Democrats’ recent momentum and threaten their coalition’s cohe sion. The president and his party have seen their poll numbers rise in recent months, buoyed by a series of events that have altered the political landscape in their favor. The Supreme Court’s late June decision over turning Roe vs. Wade alienated women across political lines. The highprofile hearings further illuminating Trump’s key role inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection received broad television coverage and hardened perceptions of Republi cans as the more extreme party. And Democrats’ passage of three major bills – a climate, pre scription drug and tax overhaul, new funding to boost domestic manu facturing of microchips and enhanced health care for veterans exposed to toxic chemicals on the battlefield – has shown the public that Biden is far from a do-noth ingBeforepresident.the abortion decision, the Jan. 6 hear ings and the flurry of new legislation, some senior Biden aides believed sig nificant student loan debt forgiveness was one of the few measures that could excite the Demo cratic base and help the party survive a tough election cycle. Despite public and private pres sure from Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., Biden has long ques tioned whether forgiving as much as $50,000 in debt would be prudent. Now that the presi dent is set to announce smaller-scale loan for giveness, he risks leaving all parties unhappy. Key Democratic constituen cies, including young voters, Black Americans and civil rights groups like the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People, have pushed hard for more forgiveness, and may be disappointed. Repub licans, meanwhile, will have a new line of attack.

“Zatko was fired from his senior execu tive role at Twitter in January 2022 for ineffec tive leadership and poor performance,” a Twitter spokesperson said. “What we’ve seen so far is a false narrative about Twitter and our privacy and data security practices that is riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies, and lacks important oritiesbeenandshareholders.itsinflictcaptureappearand“Zatko’scontext.allegationsopportunistictimingdesignedtoattentionandharmonTwitter,customersanditsSecurityprivacyhavelongcompany-widepriatTwitterandwillcontinuetobe.” Jury convicts 2 on Whitmer kidnapping charges

Derrick Johnson, the president of the NAACP, blasted Biden in a state ment Tuesday, stating that if reports of the pres ident having settled on $10,000 in debt forgive ness are correct, “we’ve got a problem.”

The deci sion, he went on, would continue a historic trend of federal government policies that are detri mental to “Tragically,Blacks. we’ve experienced this so many times before,” Johnson said. “The interstate highway system devas tated Black communities. Welfare reform tossed poor people of color by the wayside. The Senate’s failure to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act failed to save Black lives. President Biden’s decision on student debt cannot become the latest example of a policy that has left Black people – especially Black women – behind. This is not how you treat the 90% of Black voters who turned out in record numbers to once again save democracy in 2020.”

Twitter in January, has claimed some of the com pany’s senior executives have been trying to cover up serious security vul nerabilities and that one or more current employ ees may be working for a foreign intelli genceAccordingservice. to reports, Zatko’s disclosure alleges that Twitter executives have misled its own board and U.S. regulators about security vulnerabilities, and that the platform could be susceptible to foreign interference or spying and hacking. His claims include allegations of poor basic security practices, with as many as thousands of staff members able to access the sensi tive central controls of the platform and a lack of transparency around who has accessed what data and when. In addition, it has been reported the disclo sure claims that Twitter does not have the ability to fully calculate the true number of bot or fake accounts on the plat form – an issue which has become central to billionaire Elon Musk’s protracted and now stalled takeover which is currently heading for trial in the US in October, with Twitter looking to force through the £37.4 billion deal. Zatko’s lawyer told CNN that the whistle blower had not been in contact with Musk and that Zatko had started the whistleblow ing process before there was any awareness of Musk’s attempts to buy theTheplatform.disclosure also claims the U.S. govern ment provided specific evidence to Twitter shortly before Zatko left the company that at least one of its employees was working for another government’s intelli genceHowever,service.the whistleblower’s report does not state whether Twitter was already aware of this or if subsequent action was taken. Zatko said he had attempted to raise the alleged security lapses with Twitter’s board and claims his public whis tleblowing comes after those attempts failed.

Biden faces a tricky balancing act, trying to satisfy important Demo cratic constituencies that want him to do more. But his centrist instincts and the political risk of unilat erally spending billions of taxpayer dollars during a period of record inflation are holding him back.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A federal jury Tuesday convicted two men accused of orchestrating a plan to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as prosecutors salvaged the largest domestic terrorism case in a generation that has shed light on political extremism in Michigan. The convictions came on Whitmer’s birthday, four months after jurors deadlocked on charges against Pot terville resident Adam Fox and Delaware truck driver Barry Croft and acquitted two others who were accused of being part of a broader group of people angered by pandemic restrictions and hoping to spark a second Civil War. Fox and Croft face up to life in federal prison.

High School graduate Kevin Smith Jr. is trying to make a comeback at Weber State as the college football season begins for many local ath letes in the coming days. The 6-0, 225-pound running back has been in the program since 2016 but has not played since 2019 due to injuries. He earned All-Big Sky honors that season. Smith has played in 35 games in his career and has been on the roster for four Big-Sky titles. He enters 2022 ranked 27th in school history with 1,232 yards and eight touchdowns.WeberState is ranked No. 20 in the preseason FCS Poll by the American Football Coaches Association.

Daily Republic Wednesday, August 24, 2022 SECTION B

DieTer KurTenbACh BAY AREA NEWS GROUP Kevin Durant’s loss is the Warriors’ gain. The superstar forward wanted out of Brooklyn. He didn’t like the coach he picked, Steve Nash; he was over the superstar teammate he chose, Kyrie Irving; and he didn’t like the direction of the organi zation that handed over so much power to him when he went there in 2019. I say this without a strain of sarcasm: It takes a big man to admit his mistakes. Durant going to Brooklyn was a mistake. The problem for Durant amid his trade request was that he made the mistake of not just choosing Nash, Irving, and the Nets, but he also signed a fouryear contract extension lastDurantAugust.had no lever age in his trade demand outside of being one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA.

And the problem with trades is that it takes at least two teams to make a Durantdeal. will turn 34 next month, and he is entering his 16th NBA season in October. He is arguably the greatest scorer in NBA history, but he also has a surgically repaired Achilles tendon and a history of foot inju ries. Add in the drama that followed him from Golden State to Brooklyn and the justifiably massive price tag the Nets put on him in trade talks, and it’s hardly surprising that a deal never materialized thisSosummer.after weeks of looking for a way to ami cably divorce, the Nets announced Tuesday that Durant, Nash, and the team’s ownership met in Los Angeles and agreed to stay together. I say this with every known strain of sarcasm: That should go well. I maintain that trading for Durant would have been a good move for the Warriors, but him staying in Brooklyn is a win for the Dubs, too. Not only will Durant remain in the opposite conference to the War riors and not join the Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Maver icks, or even the Memphis Grizzlies, who reportedly had late interest (what took so long?), but the Nets should not be viewed as a serious threat to the Dubs as it pertains to possible NBA Finals matchups.

Angels owner starts optionexploringofselling

David Crane, Los Angeles Daily News/SCNG/TNS Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin throws to the plate during a game against the Padres earlier in the season.

“When he put all his focus to the arm care, the routine, on just pitch ing, I think is when things took off for him,” Burnes said of Gonsolin, who was one of his closest friends at Saint Mary’s. “He’s turned into probably a better pick than the Dodgers were originally thinking they were Thoughgetting.”theirpaths didn’t cross much in the minors, Gonsolin and Burnes kept in touch throughout their ascents to the big leagues. “[Since we’ve debuted], we’ve been keeping track of one another,” Burnes said. “We’re texting throughout the year, just kind of checking in. It’s good.” Valenzuela stayed close with each player, too. During the lockout this past winter, Gonsolin went to Long Beach State’s facilities to throw, giving Valenzuela an early hint of the breakout year that’s followed. “I just saw a lot more confi dence,” Valenzuela said. “He knows he belongs there, that he can take that next Duringstep.”the All-Star Game in Los Angeles last month – in which Burnes and Gonsolin were team mates on the National League roster – Valenzuela connected with Burnes during a party thrown by the pitcher’s“They’reagency.adults, they’re differ ent than they were as freshmen, but they still have those same person alities,” Valenzuela said. “Corbin talks and he’s outgoing and he’s fun. And then Tony is a little bit more quiet and to himself, in a good way. They’re different. You had to coach them different. . . . But they’re special in their own way.” Still, for as good as they were in college, Valenzuela said he never could have imagined this – to not only see his two former players face off in a big-league game, but doing so as two of baseball’s top pitchers. “Both of them have had some ups and downs,” Valenzuela said, refer encing Burnes’ 8.82 ERA in 2019, and Gonsolin’s struggles with inju ries the previous couple of seasons. “But I just love to see their progress. Obviously, Corbin kind of skyrock eted [the last couple of years]. And now, Tony is right in the mix as well. It’s pretty cool.”

Tatis Jr. apologizes for suspension, will now have shoulder surgery

Tribune ConTenT AgenCy Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. on Tuesday spoke publicly for the first time since he was suspended for a posi tive PED test. “I have let so many people down,” he said. “I have lost so much love from people.

His meetings last week with Preller and Padres chairman Seidler, as well as his talking to the team, were considered by many in the organization to be the first steps toward rebuilding trust. When the suspension was announced, Preller referenced Tatis’ offsea son motorcycle accident, in which he fractured his wrist, and referred to a pattern of actions that were troubling to the organization.“He’ssomebody that from the organization’s standpoint we’ve invested time and money into,” Preller said then. “When he’s on the field, he’s a dif ference maker. You have to learn from the situa tions. We were hoping that from the offseason to now that there would be some maturity, and obviously with the news today, it’s more of a pattern and it’s something that we’ve got to dig a bit more into. . . . I’m sure he’s very disap pointed. But at the end of the day, it’s one thing to say it. You’ve got to start showing by your actions.” Tatis at times appeared to search for words and gather himself, especially during his opening statement. “My dreams turned into my worst night mares,” he said. “. . . There is no other one to blame but myself. I haven’t made the right decisions these past few weeks, months, even from the start of the year. I regret every single step.

Tatis said he under stands the anger and disappointment.“I’mgoing to make myself not be in this posi tion ever again,” he said. “. . . The distraction I’ve been is unacceptable. It’s with actions I’m going to start doing. Actions are going to speak for myself in the future. There’s going to be a whole new story out there. It starts today.”

“We’re a split family tonight.” Valenzuela was central to both pitchers’ origin stories on the Whenmound.he was hired as Saint Mary’s coach ahead of the 2014, Gonsolin was a rising sopho more who primarily was a batter during his first year at Saint Mary’s. Burnes was an incoming freshman who, despite having a promising arm, mostly played short stop in high school. Neither of them, at the time, seemed destined for star careers as pitchers.Butwith Valenzuela trying to rebuild the floundering program’s thin roster – he had inherited only 19 players and about half a dozen pitchers – he needed both to help bolster the team’s pitching staff. “They were both kind of raw,” Valenzuela said. But they also had potential. Burnes had a big arm and grad ually dialed in his command to become Saint Mary’s best starter. Gonsolin eventually honed in the natural movement on his pitches to become a weapon out of the bullpen – though still saw himself as a hitter first, serving a in a full-time two-way role as an out fielder as well. “In college, he was more focused on hitting,” Burnes chuckled. “Pitching was like the fun thing he would Together,do.”they led Saint Mary’s to a conference championship and NCAA tournament appear ance in Then,2016.they were both taken in the top 10 rounds of that year’s draft –Burnes going in the fourth round to the Brewers, Gonsolin in the ninth round to the Dodgers.

These unintended consequences in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland cannot be taken lightly. Worsening drug consumption challenges in these areas is not a risk we can take.” Newsom said his administration would convene meetings with local officials to discuss “minimum standards and best prac tices for safe and sustainable overdose prevention programs” and “a truly limited pilotWiener,program.”inastatement, said Newsom’s veto “sends a powerful negative message that California is not committed to harm reduction” and added, “We don’t need addi tional studies or working groups to determine whether safe consumption sites are effective.

Polls have indicated most Democrats would prefer that Biden, who suffers from high dis approval rates in voter polls, not run again. Just last week, a new poll was released by the University of California, Berkeley Insti tute of Governmental Studies, reporting that 61% of California voters don’t want Biden to run again, including 46% of Democrats. The same poll also indicated Newsom ranks high as a replacement candidate.

Russia’s war is how Soviet Union finally ends How does a wannabe dictator take over a democracy?

The legislation Newsom rejected, Senate Bill 57, was carried by Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat, and had cleared both houses of the Legislature, albeit nar rowly, with only Democratic support. Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry Brown, had vetoed a similar bill, saying it sent the wrong message about drug abuse, but during his 2018 campaign for governor, Newsom indi cated he was open to the idea. On Monday, he didn’t denounce it as strongly as Brown had done, but expressed concerns about its work ability and “unintended consequences.”

Does Newsom’s drug bill veto signal HouseWhitehopes?

G ov. Gavin Newsom dropped the stron gest hint yet that he may be think ing about a presidential candidacy Monday when he vetoed a bill that would have allowed cities to set up sites where addicts could ingest drugs. National political media had been waiting for Newsom’s action, reasoning that if he rejected a bill supported by progressives in his Dem ocratic Party, it would indicate that he was worried that signing it would alien ate moderate voters in otherNewsomstates.has consistently denied harboring presiden tial ambitions but has drawn national media attention with his sharp attacks on red state governors and his entreaties that Democrats mount a stiffer defense in the face of conser vative political and judicial gains. Prior to Monday’s rejection, The New York Times quoted Jessica Levinson, a Loyola University Law School professor and political analyst as framing the bill’s politics: “I feel like Gavin Newsom is the most and least likely governor in America to sign this bill – most likely in the sense that he likes to be ahead of the curve. But if he signs this, the ads kind of write themselves: He becomes ‘Governor Heroin.’ ”

W ars that are caused by people can also be caused by deep his torical processes. For proof, look at the fight ing in Ukraine. That conflict is the doing of Russian Pres ident Vladimir Putin, a ruler determined to reassert Rus sia’s greatness by destroying an independent Ukraine. Yet it is also part of a bigger story about what happens when empires break up. The fighting in Ukraine is the latest and worst of the wars fought over the remnants of the Soviet Union, an empire whose death throes continue some 30 years after the union itself ceased to exist. It will not, unfortu nately, be the last. The 20th century saw the break ing of the great Eurasian empires that once dominated global affairs. World War I destroyed the Russian, Aus tro-Hungarian, Ottoman and German empires. World War II brought down empires ruled by Tokyo, Rome and (once again) Berlin. Decolonization subsequently finished off the British, French and Portuguese empires. And the end of the Cold War killed the Soviet Union, which first lost its satrapies in Eastern Europe and then disintegrated into 15 indepen dentYetstates.empires don’t die quickly: Their collapse, historian Serhii Plokhy wrote, is a “process rather than an event.” When a vast entity once held together by the iron discipline of the metropole gives way, don’t expect a new, stable status quo overnight. Ongoing tensions in the Balkans and the Middle East remind us that the legacies of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires are still working themselves out. The relationship between Britain and its former colo nies continues to evolve. Because the Soviet Union was gov erned so brutally, its breakup has been particularly messy. The end of the Soviet state removed the strictures that had suppressed ethnic ten sions and national rivalries among the empire’s constit uent parts. It birthed new, politically volatile states. It precipitated an ongoing strug gle between the country that had dominated the empire, Russia, and the states and peoples that now looked to escape Moscow’s grasp. The result was what scholars have called the “wars of the Soviet succes sion” – a series of bloody conflicts over contested areas from Eastern Europe to Central Asia. During the 1990s, wars convulsed Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, Chechnya, Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Tajikistan, often drawing in neighboring states and international peacekeepers. Some of these conflicts have since simmered; others, such as the dispute over Nago rno-Karabakh between Armenia and Azerbaijan, or the fight between Georgia and the Moscow-backed breakaway provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, reignited into major international conflicts. The end of the Soviet Union was a geopolitical earth quake whose aftershocks destabilize the international system even today. Ukraine has suffered the most jarring of these tremors: The current war is distinguished by the ferocity of the fighting and the totality of Putin’s effort to wipe another country off the map. Its most immediate origins can be found in the increasingly totalitar ian nature of Putin’s regime, which allows him to be more aggressive while also requiring him to find exter nal enemies; as well as in the question of whether Kyiv will align with Moscow or the West. Yet it is also of a piece with the larger post-Soviet tumult. Ukraine’s declaration of independence in late 1991 helped destroy the Soviet state and accelerate the imperial dissolution that followed. It is thus unsurpris ing, and sadly symbolic, that Ukraine is at the center of Putin’s effort to reconsolidate the dominance Moscow onceThepossessed.warhasn’t gone as Putin planned: Ukraine has defended itself admirably and will long resist being forcibly incorporated into a Russian sphere of influence. Putin’s quest for imperial resurrection has, in this case, turbocharged the formation of Ukrai nian nationalism. Yet if Russia has paid a high price for its misadventure, that doesn’t mean the wars of Soviet succession are over. Whenever the Russia-Ukraine con flict ends, the dividing line between the two armies may simply become another contested post-Soviet frontier where frequent tension causes peri odic violence. Whether Russia wins or loses, the outcome will shift the balance of power within the former Soviet Union, perhaps causing a reintensification of old disputes with Moldova, Georgia or other states. The potential for violence in Central Asia remains high, as shown by an anti-government revolt in Kazakhstan, which precipitated Russian intervention earlier this year. A change of government or a military mutiny in Belarus – neither of which can be excluded due to severe dissatis faction with Aleksandr Lukashenko’s autocratic regime – could start a fight over that country’s place between Russia and the West. In early 1992, one American news paper warned that the troubles caused by the “still-fragmenting, nucleararmed shards of the world’s last great empire” were only beginning. Even when the present war is over, that empire’s long, violent afterlife will persist.

T he first thing to do is run for president. Pick a highly controver sial issue right away, one that millions will agree with you on, and talk about it continuously. The perfect issue is immigration. Say they are coming in from Mexico to take your jobs and commit crimes. Tell your audience the other party believes in open borders and is letting all of them in. Tell everyone you will build a big beautiful wall to keep all of them out, and “Mexico will pay for it.” Start attacking the “dishonest press.” Point them out at your rallies and turn the audience on them. Plant the seed that any criticism of you is “fake news.” Get at least one media outlet to support you, repeat your lies and call you for interviews. Tell your audience to believe only you. Start the forming of a cult. They have to believe only you to be a cult, and you cannot win without them. Call the press the “enemy of the people.” Personally attack your polit ical opponents. Give them nicknames and lie about them. This way you don’t have to debate the issues. Use humil iation. Keep lying. Find out which lies are resonating and repeatIssuethem.several Twitter mes sages a day and build a following. Use Twitter to lie. Threaten to lock up your opposition and use the term “treason” a lot. Get another powerful country to help you win the election. Say great things about that country’s leader. Get him on board. Welcome that country’s help. “Russia, if you’re listening find those 30,000 missing emails.” Sow doubt about the election process. “The only way I can lose is if there is fraud in the election.” Con vince your followers you are the only one who can fix all of the problems in this country. “Only I can fix it.” Tell them you are very rich and a great businessman. Promote violence and fear. “I’d like to punch him in the mouth. Get him out of here. If you hurt him I’ll pay your legal bills.” If you lose the election declare that you won. Do not concede. Do all you can to overturn the results. Break the law if you have to. If that doesn’t work, run for president again because you believe they can’t touch you if you are a candidate.Youknow you have to win to stay out of jail. Win that second term and you are in. You have already taken over your political party and they will do your bidding. You can control your Justice Department and they will drop all investigations. Your party can work to change the term limits and allow you to be president for life. You can install your children in the White House, again, and have one of them take over for you in the future. The dictatorship will be complete. Gary Keeter is a resident of Vacaville.

8 miniseries to squeeze in before the summer ends

Netflix Michelle Monaghan as Gina and Leni McCleary in “Echoes.”

2. ‘Echoes’ Michelle Monaghan plays Gina and Leni McCleary, iden tical twins who have switched places throughout their lives, sharing everything includ ing their husbands (played by Daniel Sunjata and Matt Bomer, respectively). The dan gerous role reversal comes to a head when one of the twins abruptly disappears. The Netflix limited series is a paintby-the-numbers streaming mystery – clearly designed to attract eyeballs – and the result ing artwork is as chaotic as a Jackson Pollock. As such, this isn’t so much a recommen dation as it is nonjudgmental permission to watch seven epi sodes of something sort of ridiculous (but entertaining enough) and not overthink it.

The WashingTon PosT We’ve reached the last broody stretch of summer, which feels like the perfect time to stay in and watch an absorbing miniseries. This year has brought many options: Whether you gravitate toward twisty seven-episode thrillers or a taut five-part drama, there should be something for you on this list.

6. ‘The Staircase’ The story of Michael Peter son, a novelist and failed politician accused of murder ing his wife, Kathleen Peterson, has been told in documen tary and podcast form, and was even parodied in the NBC sitcom “Trial and Error.” This year, HBO Max tackled the confounding case in this fic tionalized series (based on Jean-Xavier de Lestrade’s docuseries about the case) star ring acting heavyweights Colin Firth and Toni Collette. Kang called the first half of the eightepisode series out for poor pacing but said viewers should stick around for the latter half, “when ‘The Staircase’ sug gests a dramatic gearshift to something else entirely: the rare fictionalization that underscores the many narra tive decisions that went into piecing together its ostensibly more straightforward, fly-onthe-wall precursor.” (Streams on HBO Max)

In a March review, Kang wrote that the eight-episode series “is less interested in how Ther anos serves as a symbol for Silicon Valley’s toxic positiv ity than in the human cost of the company’s fraud and the para noia required to maintain it.” (Streams on Hulu)

A DEFENDER’S PLAY AFFECTS DECLARER’S Jay Leno cracked, “The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver.” In today’s deal, South, the declarer, has two jobs. Against three no-trump, West leads his fourth-highest spade. What should South do if East (a) plays the queen, or (b) wins with the ace and returns the spade nine? When East plays the spade queen, there are deals when it is right for declarer to duck – but not here. South should win with his king, cross to dummy with a club to the 10 and run the heart queen. The finesse loses, but West cannot hurt declarer. If West continues spades, South gets a second trick in the suit. If West shifts to a diamond, declarer wins with the ace and claims nine tricks: one spade, three hearts, one diamond and four clubs. What happens when East wins trick one with the spade ace and returns a spade? If South wins with the king and takes a losing red-suit finesse, the opponents may be – and, here, are –able to cash enough spade tricks to defeat him. The right play is to finesse the spade jack. It loses to the queen and a spade comes back. Now needing to keep West off the lead, declarer should run the diamond jack (or nine). If the finesse wins, he repeats the finesse and has a shot at an overtrick or two. If the finesse loses and East still has a spade left, that suit must have been 4-4 at the beginning, and South is safe. Here the finesse loses, but East cannot do better than switch to a heart. Declarer wins with his ace and takes 10 tricks: one spade, one heart, four diamonds and four clubs.COPYRIGHT: 2022, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE Sudoku by Wayne Gould

The actor recently told the Los Angeles Times that he sees the show’s exploration of reli gious extremism as relevant to current political divides. “This show is a clear reflection of the kind of fundamentalism that is creeping into public life,” he told the paper. “The scariest part is that there is this kind of cheering on of ignorance, a kind of flag waving of how great it is that ignorance is winning and a lack of compassion is winning.” The drama’s ensem ble cast also features Sam Worthington (“Manhunt: Una bomber”), Daisy Edgar-Jones (“Normal People”), Gil Bir mingham (“Yellowstone”) and Rory Culkin (“Halston”).

ON CHANNEL 69 DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, August 24, 2022 B5 Gareth Cattermole/GettyImages/TNSfile Steve Toussaint attends the “House Of The Dragon” Sky Group Premiere in Leicester Square in London, Aug. 15.

“That’s so true. So many people are basing their idea of the history of this country on a few films and stuff that were made in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, which don’t bear any resemblance to the truth,” Toussaint said. “Historically, people of my hue and your hue, we didn’t just turn up here in the ’70s or the ’60s. There was a point when the ruler of his country, ‘the Caesar,’ was an African man. There are street names that tell you there were people who looked like us in this country even then, but for some reason, it seems to be very hard for people to swallow.”Butforsome, Corlys’ upward mobility and stature are less believ able than some of the wilder supernatural hap penings of the saga. “And as you said, they are happy with a dragon flying. They’re happy with white hair and vio let-colored eyes, but a rich Black guy? That’s beyond the pale,” he said.

Los A ngeLes “House of the Dragon” star Steve Tous saint addressed the racism he faced after being cast in the “Game of Thrones” prequel, saying that seeing a “rich Black guy” in a fantasy series is “beyond the pale” for some. The “Small Axe” and “Judge Dredd” star plays Lord Corlys Velaryon in the sprawling drama, which premiered Sunday on HBO. But long before the first episode made HBO Max crash, Tous saint’s casting set off another backlash and reignited the conver sation about diverse casting in period dramas. Delving further into the topic in Health interview, the 57-year-old Brit said he’s also been told that “it’s great to have this repre sentation” on the show. Prior to that, however, he revealed that he “was racially abused on social media” but wouldn’t allow it to get to him. “First of all, people of color existed in the past,” interviewer Hanna Flint said in their Q&A. “Sec ondly, if you care more about a guy’s skin color than the fact that every one’s miraculously got gorgeous teeth, it just shows your prejudice.”

Others include Moses Ingram of Disney+ series “Obi-Wan,” and Kelly Marie Tran and John Boyega who dealt with similar online abuse over their roles in the newer “Star Wars” films. However, Toussaint seems hopeful about what “House of the Dragon” has to say about the world. “A TV show or film, wherever it’s set, it reflects the time that it was made. One of the criticisms of ‘Thrones,’ particularly the early seasons, was that there was a feeling of exploit ativeness, particularly for the women,” he said.

navy in the Seven King doms with the fortune he made as a seafarer and is married to Prin cess Rhaenys (Eve Best) of the noble House Tar garyen, from which the series title is derived. He also sits on the govern ing council where much of the series premiere’s political intrigue unfolds. “[U]ltimately, for me, what his engine is, is the fact that he’s trying to elevate his family, elevate his name. When his wife was passed over for the crown, he seems to take it that much more personally than she does. Ambition is his driving force for most of the season,” Toussaint said. Toussaint is just the latest actor of color to address the racism he faced just for being cast in a major property.

Rodón sets career-high When Rodón’s 85-mph slider swept through the strike zone and past the bat of Willi Castro for strike three and the final out of the fifth inning, the Giants’ overpowering lefthander had notched a new milestone in what has been a banner year. It was his 186th strikeout of the season, surpassing his 185 last season to set a career high. Tuesday’s start was also Rodón’s 25th of the season, the most he has made since 2016, his second major league season, and he has shown no signs of slowing down. The strikeout to end the fifth was only the seventh of 10 eventual strike outs over seven innings of one-run ball Tuesday. With his 10th and final punchout, firing a 96-mph heater past Harold Castro, Rodón recorded his eighth double-digit strikeout game of the season, the most by a Giants pitcher since Tim Lincecum’s 2009 Cy Young campaign. Finishing Tuesday night with 189 strikeouts on the season, Rodón also surpassed the Yankees’ Gerrit Cole for the major league lead. Coming in 147 1/3 innings, Rodón’s 11.55 K/9 also leads the National League. Since a brief stumble out of the AllStar break, Rodón has allowed five runs and struck out 41 over 31 1/3 innings, a 1.44 ERA backfatiguedealingtimesivestarts,and11.78K/9,inhispastfiveespeciallyimpresconsideringatthislastyearhewaswithshoulderinhisfirstseasonfromsurgery.

theirTheworkout.initial 53-man roster must be set next Tuesday. Conceiv ably, the 49ers could extend Garoppolo’s tenure another week without guaranteeing his salary for the season. His $24 million salary becomes guaranteed if he’s on the roster the opening week of the season, which officially starts Sept. 11 at Chicago. Trey Lance, Garop polo’s understudy as a rookie last season, is firmly entrenched as the 49ers’ starting quarterback. He had a hot-and-cold train ing camp, and after an 11-snap cameo in the preseason opener, he sat out with almost all other starters in Saturday’s win at Minnesota, which followed two days of joint practices against theLanceVikings. and most starters are expected to play in Thursday’s preseason finale at Houston ( 5:15 p.m. PT; Amazon Prime Video, KTVU-Ch. 2). Neither Verrett nor Davis has debuted in practice and both have been restricted to indi vidual conditioning. On Monday, the 49ers waived receiver Austin Mack with a hamstring injury he sustained in Saturday’s three-snap stint in Minnesota. The 80-man roster must be set by 1 p.m.

49ers From Page B1 mess. Chemistry matters in the NBA, and Brook lyn is not so talented that it can overcome that truth. I’d expect more drama and more non sense by the time the calendar flips to 2023. But even when that drama hits, I don’t expect things to change to the point where Durant is traded. The Dubs, mean while, have not only won their divorce with Durant; they’re running up the Thescore. defend ing champions have good chemistry and a clear – albeit binate –identity. And now, with the Durant situation put to bed, the Dubs can push forward as the favorites to win the West again in 2022-23, knowing that only one rival, the Clippers, has seriously improved this offseason.

Durant From Page B1 stint, Longoria is batting .353 (12 for 34) with three home runs – includ ing, yes, in back-to-back games – raising his season OPS to .848.

Giants From Page B1

Vanden graduate Armon Bailey, a 6-foot-1, 228-pound linebacker, is back for his senior season at Sacramento State. Bailey’s 2021 cam paign was hampered by injuries. He played in the first two games and did not return until an FCS playoff game at South Dakota State. Bailey fin ished with seven tackles, three for loss. One of those tackles was a strip sack at DixieSacState.State kicks off Sept. 3 at Hornet Field against Utah Tech. Amir and Zamir Wallace are back in the defensive secondary at San Diego as cornerbacks. The Fairfield natives and De La Salle graduates are both listed as seniors. Amir was third-team all-Pioneer League in 2021 and played in all 11 games. He had 39 total tackles (27 solo, 12 assist) and 10 pass breakups. He notched a career-high five solo tackles against Montana State. Zamir made the aca demic honor roll and played in 10 of 11 games. He totaled six tackles (five solo, one assist), had a pick-six against Butler and a 15-yard tackle for loss against Presbyterian. The Toreros open the season Sept. 3 at home against La FairfieldVerne.High grad uate Mondo Calderon is a senior 6-foot-1, 260pound defensive lineman at the University of Minnesota-Morris.Calderon played in nine games in 2021 and had 36 total tackles (17 solo).

The Dubs’ oppo nents in the Western Conference finals, the Mavericks, lost their second-best player for nothing. The Suns angered their starting center, didn’t do any thing to bolster their roster, and now get to roll the dice with Chris Paul going into his age-38 season. The young Grizzlies should continue to improve with another campaign together, but they traded away a rocksolid depth piece in De’Anthony Melton for a draft pick and Danny Green, who tore both the ACL and LCL in his left knee in last year’s play offs. Sorry if I don’t think that’s a winning move forThisMemphis.isn’t to say that the Warriors will repeat as Western Conference or NBA champions – it’s merely to say that the biggest threat to their status as the favorites this offseason was the possibility of Durant coming west.
