Candidates for Suisun City mayor want a cleaner city

Todd R. H ansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

SUISUN CITY — Larry Brumfield will be the next city mayor – albeit for a matter of days or a couple of weeks at the most.

Brumfield said he is going to use that opportunity to raise concerns he has heard from the public, which he has written down in a notebook he carries.

The candidates who want the job after Brumfield – Councilwoman Alma Her nandez and businessman James Berg – offer choices in what they view as their priorities for the city.

However, they agree on one priority: Suisun City needs a good cleaning.

“Suisun City has a growing reputation for being littered with trash and unkept. This comes from multiple sources without accountability. Many of the city’s dirti est lots actually belong to the city,” Berg wrote in response to the Daily Republic’s question.

Priorities separate 5 candidates vying for 2 Suisun council seats

R.

SUISUN CITY — A mixture of what they view as the city’s top priorities does give voters a choice among the five candidates seeking two seats on the City Council.

Those top-shelf con cerns range from public safety and crime to roads, from dredging to homeless ness, from city cleanliness to communication with the residents and from quality of services to the general quality of life.

The Daily Repub

lic asked the candidates:

Name two issues criti cal to the city, what you think needs to be done and how you would effect those outcomes.

One issue that came up frequently was the local economy. Jenalee Dawson,

Princess Washington and Charles Lee all commented on the topic.

“The city could be a destination city, with the downtown waterfront, but we need to strategi cally invest in the critical pieces of economic revital

ization. We need to focus on incremental change that gradually improves the area’s economic foun dation and eventually makes large-scale invest ments possible. This can

Kyiv braces for prolonged hardship as Russia threatens more strikes

THe WasHingTon PosT

KYIV, Ukraine — With Kyiv facing rolling elec tricity outages, authorities on Tuesday raced to repair the damage from a barrage of Russian mis siles that slammed into the heart of the Ukrainian capital, in a significant escalation of the nearly eight-month-old war that drew international con demnation of Moscow.

Many Kyiv residents hurried on Tuesday to make whatever prepara tions they could ahead of potential cuts to power, heat and water – fearful that the missile strikes, which killed at least 20 people across Ukraine

on Monday, were a bleak prelude to what they will face repeatedly in coming months.

The attack, which Russian President Vlad imir Putin said was retaliation for an explo sion over the weekend on the Crimean Bridge, tar geted power plants and other critical infrastruc ture, and underscored the continuing vulnera bility of Ukrainian cities despite a surge in Western military aid since Putin’s Feb. 24 invasion.

Speaking to leaders of the Group of Seven via video link on Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zel ensky voiced his own

apprehension about Rus sia’s intentions in the coming months, and he pleaded again with leaders of the world’s advanced democratic economies for more advanced air defense systems.

Even as they began bracing for difficult months ahead, Kyiv

residents voiced determi nation and resolve.

Olga Sali, who was sur veying the gaping crater a Russian bomb left near a playground in one of the city’s central parks, said that she had just dropped her 10-year-old daugh ter at school on Monday

That question was: “While mayors only have one vote in City Council decisions, it is a position of leadership. Name three critical issues facing the city and state how you would influence public policy and council collabo ration on these issues.”

“The main responses to help address this issue would be to enact existing code enforcement policies and have city accountability, while pushing forward with effective, proven ways to help the unhoused get off and stay off the streets. I am con cerned with the amount of money being thrown at this crisis without enough results. A clean city can help open new doors of opportunity,” Berg added.

Hernandez said, “One of the top pri orities I have heard from residents is the need to clean and beautify our city. Having such a windy city, we have an issue with trash being blown from overflowing trash bins, littering, and illegal dumping. We also have had issues with overgrown weeds, maintenance of public spaces, illegal encampments, neglected empty busi ness spaces and lack of code enforcement to enforce and regulate city and building ordinances.”

To address the issue, she said she would establish a Citywide Beautification

Children

time

My granddaughter Eleanor is 7 years old, full of life and ready to rule the world. If you don’t believe me, ask her brothers.

When Elle spends a night with us, she brings a back pack full of “necessities”: five changes of clothing; at least one “fancy” dress; two swimsuits; books for reading; paper for drawing; crayons for coloring; two of her favorite stuffed animals; and an interest ing assortment of hats.

She doesn’t pack a toothbrush, but keeps one at our place. She doesn’t bring a coat because she never gets cold. And though she adores her brothers, she leaves them at home, because it’s her turn to feel special, not theirs.

Her backpack is coming apart at the seams. If she had a bigger one, she’d bring more stuff. I love the things she brings that don’t need to be packed: Laughs and hugs and lots of memories.

She sits at our dining room table, col oring a picture, staying within the lines. Her long brown hair, streaked with gold, flows down her back like a waterfall. One hand brushes it off her face. The other hand keeps coloring.

I wish you could see her.

Watching her, I recall two memories. The first is my daughter (Elle’s Auntie Nan) at Elle’s age, doing her homework at that same table. Same hair, same laugh, same readiness to rule the world. If you don’t believe me, ask her brothers.

The second memory is of me at Elle’s age, same hair, same laugh, but no inter est in ruling the world. If you don’t believe me, don’t ask my brother.

Some of the happiest days of my childhood were spent with my grand mothers, who were as different from each other as two old women could possibly be.

One lived alone on a farm in the mountains where she knew the names of every living thing, trees, flowers, birds, snakes or anything else I needed to know.

The other lived in a small town where she knew every soul who passed her porch, where they’d been, what they’d bought and how much they’d paid for it.

One taught me how to crochet; the other taught me how to cheat at cards.

I inherited both of their natures. Sometimes they argue in my head and I never know which side will win.

I wish you could hear them.

My grandmothers made me feel special to them. I was sure I was their favorite. My mother’s mother actually told me I was her favorite. I later learned she told other grandkids they were her favorites, too. But I knew she meant it most for me.

I have no desire to give my grandchil dren my two-sided nature. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But I want Elle and her brothers and their cousins to know they are all special to me. Each one of them is my favorite.

Children need to feel special. They long to be somebody’s favorite. It takes a fair amount of time to give them that. That’s why God created grandparents.

Tonight was Elle’s turn to feel special to us. She milked it for all it’s worth. For dinner, she chose the Running Iron (where cowboy boots hang from the ceiling) and ate mac’n’cheese and apple pie. When we came home, she picked a movie (she swore “Home Alone” was OK with her mom) and stayed up late to laugh at it with us.

I put her to bed in our guest room, read a book, said prayers and kissed her goodnight.

Minutes later, she screamed, “There’s a SPIDER on the wall!”

Papa Mark, our hero, removed the spider. But Elle’s eyes still looked as big as hubcaps. So I got in bed, pulled her close and promised to stay all night.

Soon she was snoring softly, with her arm across my face. And I recalled how it felt so long ago to fall asleep in the safety of my grandmother’s arms.

Tomorrow, we’ll pack up all her stuff, load it in the car and Elle will go home. I will miss her. But I hope she’ll take a few good memories to share some fine day with her grandchildren.

Can you guess what we plan to give her for Christmas? Yes, a brand new backpack – pink with white unicorns –that will hold only half as much stuff.

BRIGHT spot

You may want to surprise a loved one with a

Tribune ConTenT AgenCy

Remember those com mercials that used to encourage us to “reach out and touch someone” with a phone call? They may have been on to something.

Research in the Journal of Psychology and Social Personality earlier this year showed that people in your social circle are highly appre ciative of texts, emails or small gifts.

“Despite wanting to reconnect, many people are hesitant about doing so,” the researchers said on Kudos, a website that helps researchers globally showcase their ideas and progress. “This research suggests that their hesitations may be misplaced, as others are likely to appreciate being reached out to more than people think.”

The data came from experiments where college students wrote a note to people they hadn’t been in touch with for a while, using paper, a brief text, or an email message. Similar experiments with non-student participants included people bestow ing a small gift, not just a note.

“We kept finding that people underestimated how much their reachouts were appreciated,” the researchers said. The level of appreciation reported by responders escalated in proportion to how surprised they were to be contacted.

When the reaching out happens in an expected

context, without an element of surprise, the researchers found those reaching out typically had an accurate idea of how much the responder would appreciate their gesture or gift. “Thus, it’s really these unexpected reach-outs that people appreciate much more than we expect,” the researchers said.

This is good news in an age when loneliness is reaching its peak, partic ularly for older adults.

According to a Univer sity of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging, 56% of adults polled, all of them ages 50-80, reported that they felt isolated at least some of the time, compared to 27% prepandemic in 2018. And 48% of the adults sur veyed said they felt more isolated than they did before the pandemic.

One boost might come from old friends reach

ing out, especially if the communication comes as a surprise.

Lead study author Peggy Liu, associate professor of Business Administration in the Marketing and Business Economics Area at the University of Pittsburgh, said people should work to overcome any qualms about getting in touch.

“When I find myself hesitating to reach out to someone with whom I want to reconnect, I think it’s useful to think about these research findings and remind myself that other people may also want to reach out to me and hesitate for the same reasons. I then tell myself that I would appreciate it so much if they reached out to me and that there is no reason to think they would not similarly appreciate me reaching out to them.”

Solano linked historically, culturally to Indigenous People’s Day

Todd R. H ansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

GREEN VALLEY —

Thirty years ago, the city of Berkeley started what has now evolved into Indigenous People’s Day.

The counter-culture event was held to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Chris topher Columbus to the Americas on Oct. 12, 1492, but to make it clear the Europeans did not arrive to an empty space.

On the 529th anniver sary of Columbus’ arrival, actually one day before, President Joe Biden signed a proclamation declaring Oct. 11, 2021, as a national holiday.

It is celebrated the second Monday of the month – this year on Oct. 10.

Native American Her itage Month is celebrated in November, and has been fully embraced by area tribes, who work

with schools, libraries and other agencies and groups to make more people aware of the native past and the native present.

Nicole Braddock, the executive director of Solano Land Trust, works closely with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation on a host of projects.

The tribe is active in the

development of the 1,500acre Patwino Worrtla Kodoi Dihi Open Space Park, including culturally accurate signage to help visitors understand the native heritage of the area. There are a number of cul tural heritage sites visitors will be able to see when the park is opened.

“We learned a lot about how the Suisun Valley area and Green Valley area were impor tant cultural areas that we had developed over,” Braddock said.

And because the Land Trust and the tribe have a common interest in pre serving the land and its heritage, the relationship has since grown. The tribe, for example, is helping to fine tune the school curric ulum the Land Trust first developed in connection to Rush Ranch.

But for Braddock, the holiday is more about the here and now.

“They are still here,”

Braddock said.

It was the same message James Tunstall, the Native American docent at Adobe Peña Park, was deliv ering during the recent Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.

“They were a strong people and they survived the invasion of the Euro peans, and the disease, and they are still here today,” said Tunstall, a member of the California band of the Yaqui Tribe, which is rooted in Mexico, Arizona and Texas.

Of course, Solano County takes its name from Chief Solano – or more accurately – Sem Yeto. He was the leader of the Suisunes, a Patwin people who lived in the Suisun Bay region.

He had close ties to Gen. Mariano Gua dalupe Vallejo, was baptized as Francisco Solano and became known as Chief Solano.

Victim testimony brings down Dixon man in child molestation case

FAIRFIELD — A Solano County jury has convicted a 35-year-old Dixon man of continuous sex crimes against a child. The jury handed down its verdict Friday against Eliberto Gutierrez, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office reported Monday.

The assaults hap pened between 2017 and 2019 while Gutierrez lived in Woodland and Dixon,

the Sheriff’s Office reports. Gutierrez molested a young relative while her mother was working a night shift.

The girl confronted Gutierrez in 2019 and told him to stop, but Gutier rez threatened her, the Sheriff’s Office reports.

The allegations came to light in 2020 when the girl told her mother about the abuse. The mother immediately called law enforcement and a safety

plan was devel oped to remove the children from the home, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s inves tigators arrested Gutierrez during a traffic stop Sept. 1, 2020, in Dixon.

Investigators dis covered Gutierrez had purchased a one-way bus ticket to Tijuana, Mexico, and was on his way to the bus station when he was

stopped, the Sher iff’s Office reports.

The girl took the stand and tes tified against Gutierrez. He is scheduled to return to court Jan. 20 for sentencing.

The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Barry Shapiro and investigated by sheriff’s Detective Danny Schilling.

SCC plans conversation with police personnel

ROCKVILLE — Solano College Public Safety officers will meet with students, faculty, staff and the public in what is being billed as the first in a series of “Conversations with Solano Community College Department of Public Safety.”

The event will take place from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Thursday in Room 113 of the new library on the rural Fairfield campus, 4000 Suisun Valley Road. To register, send an email to sccdps@solano. edu. State how many are in your party.

“These events will spark conversations between students, faculty, staff and the public on one end, and public safety officers on the other. It will help to establish an open com munication with public safety and the com munity it serves. In these challenging times, it is crucial for students, faculty and staff to be acutely and constantly

aware that the core values of public safety are to serve and protect them. It sets aside the usversus-them mentality that is not only toxic but also counterproductive in our daily dealings,“ Chief Brian Travis said in a statement.

“We currently have over 8,500 registered college students and 370 Early College High Schoolers from Rodri guez High School. Our students are a micro cosm of Solano County and beyond. We have Vacavillians, Suisu nians, Fairfieldians, Rio Vistans, Benicians, Dix onites and Vallejoans.

We also have students from outside of Solano County and some inter national students so it is vital to offer every one a chance to have their voices be heard and also a chance for us to address their concerns,” Travis concluded.

Light refreshments will be provided for these events. This is a first of a series planned for 2022-2023.

Angela Lansbury dies at 96

Tribune ConTenT AgenCy

LOS ANGELES — Angela Lansbury, a Tony Award-winning actress who conquered Broad way in the glamorous roles movie studios never gave her and captured televi sion viewers as the star of the hit series “Murder, She Wrote,” has died at her home in Los Angeles.

Lansbury, who played television’s literary sleuth Jessica Fletcher from 1984 to 1996, died Tuesday “peacefully in her sleep ... just five days shy of her 97th birthday,” her family said in a statement pro vided to the Los Angeles Times. She was 96.

“Angela LansburyShe, my darlings, was EVERYTHING!,” wrote stage actor and play wright Harvey Fierstein on Twitter after news of her death spread.

“Frozen” actor and fellow Broadway star Josh Gad also paid his respects online.

“It is rare that one person can touch multi ple generations, creating a breadth of work that defines decade after decade,” he tweeted. “#AngelaLansbury was that artist. From “Mame” to “Bedknobs” to “Murder She Wrote” to “B&TB” to “Mary Poppins Returns” she touched 4 generations.

IN APPRECIATION

RIP Legend.”

Beyond her acclaimed work in theater, “Murder, She Wrote” was a classic but lighthearted whodunit, a literate and sophisti cated TV show complete with clues and red her rings. Like its star, the show had exceedingly good manners that made for easy family viewing.

The series hovered near the top of the ratings for almost a decade, becoming a signature piece for CBS and making Lansbury a household name. Nominated for a

dozen Emmys for playing the warm and spunky detective, Lansbury never won but repeatedly said fans made her feel like a “national treasure.”

Although she con sidered the “Murder” mysteries “formula stuff,” Lansbury said the program had been popular because it was like a cross word puzzle the audience could solve along with her.

At about age 80, she played villainous Aunt Adelaide in the 2006 family film “Nanny McPhee.” By then her voice was famil iar to a generation that had grown up watching the 1991 Disney film “Beauty and the Beast” on video; Lansbury sings the title song and voices the moth erly teapot.

Vegas stabbing suspect charged with murder

A man suspected of stabbing eight people, two of them fatally, on the Strip was formally charged Tuesday with two counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder.

At a brief court hearing, Yoni Barrios, 32, was appointed a public defender.

Barrios is accused of stabbing several women posing as showgirls along with tourists Thursday in unprovoked attacks outside Wynn Las Vegas, on the 3100 block of Las Vegas Boulevard South, police said.

Las Vegas residents Maris DiGiovanni, 30, and Brent Hallett, 47, died from their stab wounds.

During Tuesday’s two-minute hearing, Deputy Public Defender Scott Coffee said his office would begin evaluating if Barrios was competent to stand trial. He is being held without bail.

Barrios told police he wanted to “let the anger” out after he felt people were laughing at him for wanting to take a photo with the women dressed as showgirls, according to an arrest report from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Police: Human remains found in freezer

CHICAGO — A suspect is in custody after police found human remains in a freezer on the city’s Far North Side Monday night, according to police.

Officers responded to a well-being check on North Washtenaw Avenue around 7 p.m. Monday. The owner of the West Ridge house – who rented the rooms out – had been missing for approximately 24 hours, the tenant who called police told them.

The tenant also told police the residents of the home were scared of one of the other people who lived there.

The tenant that the others were afraid of, Chicago Police Department Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan said, had recently called a tow truck and carried out a heavy bag. The individual dumped the large bag in a garbage can at Foster Beach, police said.

Detectives discovered bloody rags and towels inside the can and secured the scene. The can and its contents were transported to the medical examiner’s office Tuesday morning.

Based on that evidence, detectives returned to the West Ridge residence and found human remains in the freezer, police said. They then obtained a search warrant to search the house.

DoJ asks Supreme Court not to intervene in ongoing Trump classified records fight

might be subject to attor ney-client or executive privilege.

Department of Justice urged the Supreme Court in a filing Tuesday not to weigh in on an ongoing fight with former Presi dent Donald Trump over classified documents, arguing that Trump “has not even attempted to explain” how he is harmed by an appellate court deci sion not to allow a special master to review classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Solicitor General Eliz abeth Prelogar said in the filing that the under lying dispute involves an “unprecedented” attempt to restrict the govern ment’s use of its own “extraordinarily sensi tive” classified documents.

“As this Court has emphasized, courts should be cautious before ‘insist ing upon an examination’ of records whose disclo sure would jeopardize national security ‘even by the judge alone, in cham bers,’ ” she said, citing a court case.

Last week, Trump asked the Supreme Court to intervene and allow a special master to examine roughly 100 classified records found during the court-approved search of his Florida home in early August. The Justice Department is investi gating alleged retention of classified information, theft of government doc uments and obstruction of justice.

In their petition to the Supreme Court, Trump’s attorneys wrote that “any limit on the compre hensive and transparent review of materials seized in the extraordinary raid of a President’s home erodes public confidence in our system of justice.”

Trump’s request asks the Supreme Court to overrule a unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, which granted the Justice Department’s request to keep the classi fied records separate from the outside expert’s review of about 200,000 pages of documents the FBI seized in the search. The panel rejected Trump’s argu ment that the classified documents might be his property, not the govern ment’s, saying it did not see a reason why Trump “would have an individ ual interest in or need for any of the one hundred documents with classifica tion markings.”

The full court could act on the matter within days. It would take five justices to grant Trump’s request.

The 11th Circuit also overruled a lower court decision and allowed the Justice Department to use the seized classi fied documents in its ongoing criminal inves tigation while the special master conducts his review, which is focused on whether the documents

Trump did not ask the Supreme Court to weigh in on that part of the panel’s decision, but the Supreme Court could choose to do so.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon named Raymond Dearie, a senior judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern Dis trict of New York, special master and tasked him with evaluating which materials might be pro tected from the Justice Department investigation by claims of attorney-cli ent or executive privilege. The review is expected to take months to complete.

The Justice Depart ment has also appealed to the 11th Circuit the appointment of a special master, saying the process is not neces sary, in part because officials had already completed a review of documents potentially subject to attorney-cli ent privilege and set them

aside. It has also argued that a special master should not be tasked with resolving claims of execu tive privilege.

Trump’s legal team opposed the Justice Department’s request to expedite that appeal, an act the department says undermines his plea to the Supreme Court.

“Indeed, because applicant has no plausi ble claims of ownership of or privilege in the documents bearing classi fication markings, he will suffer no harm at all from a temporary stay of the special master’s review of those materials while the government’s appeal proceeds. And applicant further undermined any claim that he is suffering irreparable injury from the stay by opposing the government’s motion to expedite the underlying appeal and urging that oral argument be deferred until ‘January 2023 or later,’ ” Prelogar said in the filing.

Hurricane Ian: Behind the scenes of search, rescue on Fort Myers Beach

Tribune ConTenT Agen

FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. — The members of the South Florida Urban Search and Rescue Team followed Hurricane Ian up the coast to Fort Myers Beach, where a raging storm surge destroyed homes and killed people who did not evacuate.

They set up a command post in the shadow of a Margaritaville Resort still under construction. They unfurled maps of the city divided into grids and split up areas to target next. They slept on cots, filling tents beside the Gulf of Mexico and close to the shattered fishing pier.

Clad in navy jackets, pants and bucket hats, the searchers traded long shifts in the sun. Some of them had been working for a week and didn’t know when their stint would end.

On a recent afternoon, one team member walked around with a glass mea suring cup full of Cuban coffee. He poured steam ing shots into small paper cups for anyone not already out searching the dusty rubble.

The search and rescue workers drove around the island in lifted pickups with bulky tires. They came from fire depart ments across South Florida, and all had passed hours of special training. Many of the firefighters were a little over a year removed from working at the Surfside condo tower collapse.

For some, like heavy equipment rigging spe cialist Bryan Bartlett, the job is like an inheritance. Their fathers were fire fighters, too.

“It’s important to be able to come out and help these people,” Bartlett said. “These people in Fort Myers Beach, they lost everything.”

More than 300 people joined the search and rescue mission on Fort Myers Beach, said Capt. Ignatius Carroll, a spokes person for the South Florida team. Some trav eled from other states.

The South Florida group was in charge, full of firefighters with years of experience working around disaster zones.

“We are finding human remains,” Carroll said

almost a week after Hurri cane Ian made landfall. He declined to say how many.

The official death toll from the storm reached 102 on Monday, accord ing to state figures. That included multiple people on Fort Myers Beach. As of late last week, more than half of the victims had drowned.

The search and rescue crews were methodical. They scanned the city in phases, Carroll said:

First came the hasty search when firefight ers walked around and called out to people. They noted residents still on the

work together, oct. 5, to search for people in an area of homes damaged by Hurricane Ian.

island and alive.

Then came a closer look through at least two more searches.

The crews embarked on property-by-property surveys. They checked behind doors, peered into cars and eventually circled back to areas that were especially hard to reach. Sometimes, they called for dogs trained to detect human remains. They ticked off locations with a phone application.

Searchers attempted to decipher where chunks of homes, ripped from their foundations, had stood before the flood

pushed wreckage inland. They picked apart piles of debris by hand and with heavy machinery.

Even days after the hur ricane, Carroll said, the crews could have found people alive, trapped in attics or in raised houses with no way down.

The damage on Fort Myers Beach was stunning, even to sea soned veterans.

Hazmat Specialist Peter Darley thought of the storm as a combina tion of Hurricane Michael (intense destruction) and Hurricane Irma (broad in its sweep).

Exactly one week after Ian’s landfall, Darley and a handful of other search ers stepped into a thick patch of brush off Mango Street on Fort Myers Beach. Their blue uni forms and white helmets disappeared into the green, sticks and dead leaves crunching under their boots.

The flood could have washed a person into the scrub, but they found nothing.

The team moved down the road, climbing over piles of broken wood and metal, peering into empty windows and under col lapsed roofs. In one house, still standing, a clear water line dirtied the wall above the highest kitchen cabinet.

Someone had smelled something bad in this area, perhaps a body hidden from view.

The firefighters stepped past pieces of walls, a deck and cinderblock columns. They passed a calculator, a skim board, an unbro ken glass bottle of Corona. Tree branches, a wicker chair, metal poles.

All of them had tripped or fallen at some point. They picked up trash – broom handles, a golf club – to steady themselves.

No survivors here, either. The smell was nothing to worry about.

“North side!” Darley yelled to a teammate. “Open fridge.”

It was their last stop of the day. The team hopped back into a truck and headed to the command post at the edge of town.

Eminem notches another song in Spotify’s Billions Club, sets a record

Tribune ConTenT AgenCy

Eminem has once again joined Spoti fy’s Billions Club, and his latest entry gives him yet another sig nificant streaming accomplishment.

“Godzilla,” Eminem’s 2020 collaboration with the late Juice WRLD, recently passed the 1 billion streams marker on the streaming service. It’s Eminem’s sixth song to achieve the digital milestone and third this year, following 2000’s “The Real Slim Shady,” which crossed the threshold in June, and “Love the Way You Lie,” his 2010 collaboration with Rihanna, which hit 1 billion streams in July.

“Lose Yourself,” “’Till I Collapse” and “Without Me” have also racked up more than 1 billion streams.

With “Godzilla,” Em becomes the first artist with songs from three different decades to hit 1 billion streams. If any songs from 1999’s “The Slim Shady LP” climb the ladder that would give him four decades, but with the closest entry at 417 million streams, he’s still got a ways to go.

And Em’s got a ways to go before scoring his next song in the Billions Club: “The Monster,” his “Marshall Mathers LP 2” collaboration with Rihanna, is next highest with 768 million streams.

Am I imagining that my fiancé is flirting with friend’s sister, or is it real?

Now, 10 years later, we are still often at get-togeth ers with her, and I sense there is some flirtation between them every now and then. At times, this really bothers me. Is it because I know he was inter ested in her years ago? Should I mention this to my future husband, or am I being imma ture? — Bride to Be

Dear Bride-to-Be: Based on the flirtation your fiance had with your best friend’s sister, my guess is that your antenna is up as high as it can go. Ask yourself if he is really flirting or if you are more sen sitive because you knew in the past that he liked her. If it really bothers you, you can mention it to your fiance just as you did to me.

Don’t approach the conver sation in an accusatory way

Honesty about feelings in a relationship is a good idea so long as you are not making accusa tions. Use “I” statements rather than “you” statements.

Dear Annie: My solution to people speaking loudly on the phone in public locations is to join in the conversation. I’ve done this twice. The first time, the lady snapped, “This is private,” and I said, then it needs to be in a private place.

THE NECESSARY AND UNWANTED HONOR

The former British comedy team of Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise used a two-liner based on the honors awarded biannually by the Queen.

by Phillip Alder

In today’s deal, like in yesterday’s, it is vital for a defender to play a king at the right moment to defeat a contract of three no-trump.

East’s three-heart overcall put South in an awkward position. He wanted to show his diamond suit, but that would carry the bidding above three no-trump. Hoping for the best, he settled for that game.

West led the heart nine: five, 10, four. East continued with the heart jack. By playing his lowest-possible cards, East was trying to tell his partner that his only chance of an entry was in clubs: the lowest-ranking of the suits. However, West was oblivious.

South played a diamond to dummy’s king and a diamond to his ace, but East’s spade discard killed that plan. Next, South cashed the club ace. Unthinkingly, West played his eight, not the king.

When South continued with another club, he was relieved to see West win with the king. Declarer claimed an overtrick a moment later.

If West had unblocked his club king under the ace, East would have got on play with the jack and cashed five heart winners.

True, unblocking the king might have cost a trick, but it would have been only an overtrick, a small price to pay when trying to defeat a game.

morning before the first missiles struck. Terrified, she hurried to an under ground shelter.

But on Tuesday, when the air alert rang out again – in another attack that authorities said was thwarted by air defenses – Sali stayed put. “It’s a pity all that has hap pened in our country,” she said. But: “We decided to stay here, because it’s our home.”

In Kyiv, authorities said they were working to protect vital infrastruc ture while acknowledging the limits of what they could do without more comprehensive air defenses for the city of an estimated 3 million wartime residents.

Officials said that 83 missiles were fired

at different areas of Ukraine on Monday, and that about half of them were shot down.

In response to the attack, in-person school ing in Kyiv was suspended for the remainder of the week. And across the broader capital region, police said they were increasing their patrols in anticipation of evening power cuts, Kyiv regional Police Chief Andriy Nebitov said.

Monday’s strikes created “a certain deficit” in energy capacity in Kyiv, the city’s power company said after the attacks.

To help ease the strain on the grid, the utility announced rolling power outages lasting up to four hours across sectors of the city. It asked people to refrain from using washing machines and other heavy-demand appliances during peak consumption hours,

NASA confirms mission altered asteroid’s orbit

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission, better known as DART, successfully shifted the orbit of an asteroid known as Dimorphos – a huge victory for local scientists and engineers whose work was involved in the mission, NASA officials announced Tuesday.

The space agency purposely crashed a spacecraft into the harmless asteroid, which orbited a larger aster oid, known as Didymos, millions of miles away, in late September as a test to see if in the future a killer rock could be nudged out of Earth’s way.

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md., designed and led the DART mission for NASA while the Jet Propulsion Lab’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies, an element of NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office, was tasked with determin ing the location of Didymos in space within 16 miles of its exact location.

and also urged them to keep devices charged as much as possible given likely service cuts. Water service was also dis rupted temporarily in some areas.

Additional strikes on Tuesday left 0ne-third of Ukraine’s western city of Lviv without power, and parts of the city without water, Mayor Andriy Sadovyi reported on Tele gram. A power plant in the Vinnytsia region, south west of Kyiv, was hit twice on Tuesday, offi cials said, with the second attack injuring at least six workers who were making repairs after the earlier strike.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko described the immense scale of the chal lenges his administration now faces in sustain ing utilities, education, medical care and public transport for a city that may well come under sus

be done by evaluating the economic condition; identifying opportuni ties for market growth; strengthening existing businesses and recruit ing new ones; finding new economic uses for downtown main street buildings; and develop ing financial incentives and capital for building rehabilitation and busi ness development,” said Dawson, adding that city accountability for expen ditures must be part of the effort.

Without an improved economy and the rev enues that would be generated, she notes city services and employee turnover will continue, which in the end costs the city even more.

“A complete review of the city’s financial state, with the hope of possi bly streamlining some of our expenditures is a necessity. Vigorously searching for additional grants and, the increase of sustainable revenue by continuing to bring in new businesses (we need a professional marketing assessment and plan as a starting point) and, start ing to build residential units for sale on avail able vacant property, thus increasing property tax revenue, is impera tive,” Lee said.

tained aerial siege.

Unlike earlier in the war, when Russia struck areas outside the city center as it mounted a failed attempt to seize the capital, Monday’s attacks targeted Kyiv’s historic, commercial and gov ernment core.

Klitschko said the chal lenges would only increase during the winter, when Ukraine’s intense cold will make the impact of pos sible power cuts more painful for residents. More than three-quarters of Kyiv’s buildings are con nected to a central heating system powered by gas, which can be disrupted by explosions.

In an interview on Tuesday, Klitschko decried attacks on civilian sites and vital infrastructure.

“War has clear rules,” he said, which Russia has violated. Klitschko said Russia’s leaders were

That dovetails into his first priority of public safety, noting, “We must ensure pay parity for our police officers and fire fighters to bring them in line with other Solano County departments in order to stem the tide of departures. With longev ity, they become more familiar with our commu nity and our community more familiar with them. My public safety pri ority also includes the hiring of at least four additional police officers to more appropriately establish proactive com munity policing in order to better address the criminal activity and reckless driving in our neighborhoods.”

Washington, who also lists public safety as a priority, said of the economy, “Suisun City has low sales tax genera tion, which decreases the finances needed to rein vest within ourselves. This is due in large part to the way the city has been structured. We are a bedroom community. We do not possess enough businesses within our city limits to effectively pay for our city.”

“My plan to revital ize our local economy is to actively engage and encourage oppor tunities to spend dollars locally in Suisun City. This can be done in mul tiple ways, but the most important being com munity engagement. We have to encourage resi

trying “to make people helpless without services, but it’s not successful.”

The mayor contrasted the Russian strike on a largely glass bridge in central Kyiv – a tourist attraction known as the “Klitschko Bridge” because of his involvement in its con struction – with the explosion on the Crimean Bridge, a vital road and rail link between main land Russia and occupied Crimea, which Russia has used as a conduit for weapons, equipment and other supplies for its troops in Ukraine.

Ukraine has not officially claimed respon sibility for that attack, but Putin blamed the country’s special services and warned Monday of further missile strikes in the event of other attacks by Ukraine.

Klitschko described the Crimean Bridge as a mil

dents and surrounding areas to come to Suisun for some much-needed foot traffic,” Wash ington added.

Without a stronger economy, the city will not have the funding to increase police, fire and public works services, though she emphasized funding those would be priorities for her.

Councilwoman Jane Day said she is working to get the necessary votes on the council to fund what she views as the biggest priorities the city faces: roads and dredging.

“To affect these, I’m working to get the required three votes for the passage of funds to accomplish (the tasks because) they are a key item of the eco nomic engine of the city,” she wrote.

Katrina Garcia has a holistic view of the city with a modern communi cations platform.

“My vision for Suisun would look like this: Suisun City continues to move forward and improve communications between the city and its residents. The website provides an efficient way to keep everyone up to date with the latest news, events and resources.

Social media platforms are utilized to share updates and help connect individuals with each other,” Garcia said.

“One of the goals is to maintain a healthy balance in the budget

itary target because it has been used to move military resources, and he noted with satisfac tion that the Kyiv bridge had suffered only minor damage in Putin’s attack.

“It’s a signal they are weak,” he said.

Already the city is planning mobile heating points as a backup to help hospitals and schools during outages. The U.S. government mean while announced it would provide Ukraine with $55 million in “winteriza tion” aid to repair heating networks and help Ukrai nians prepare to withstand the cold weather ahead.

In a visit to Kyiv last week, Samantha Power, the head of the U.S. Agency for International Development, joined Klitschko in touring a U.S.funded project to rebuild and upgrade heating pipes damaged by an earlier Russian strike.

by bringing in revenue through various means such as grants, loans, fees and taxes. Another goal is to continue provid ing Suisun City residents with high-quality ser vices that they have come to expect. The expertise of our elders is valued and their advice is sought out when making deci sions that will affect the community as a whole,” she added.

Dawson was the only candidate to list home lessness among the top priorities, and included housing needs as part of her response.

“It is impossible to eradicate homeless ness without affordable housing and a living wage. There will continue to be homelessness if mental health issues and substance abuse issues are not properly treated . . . . Our current model of pushing housing first doesn’t address barriers that our unsheltered res idents face to accessing those services, nor does it address our core issues in Suisun City,” she said.

“We need housing for people who are dis abled and unable to work, we need housing for people trying to get their life back on track. Compassionate relocation (sweeps) is not a sus tainable policy . . . . We need a managed regional approach, wrap-around services, showers and safe places to sleep.”

Committee and a Code Compliance Program “that educates members of our community regarding what code enforcement is, the laws, policies and ordinances that need to be upheld, and also enforces these laws when infractions are being made. “

After that, the two candidates diverge in their views if what is the highest priorities.

Hernandez lists home lessness and the need for more government transparency as issues that must be addressed, while Berg lists the need for community policing and an economic model that is more “self-reli ant through a strong local economy rather than relying on government handouts that come with stipulations. Our budget will be our policy.”

“Our current policy is to have on hand 20% reserves and we are continually told by the current council that we meet this goal. In the audit ending June 2021, it states that our reserves are actually at 16%, which is $1.3 million below the 20% mark,” Berg noted.

“Another problem is the actual funding of our road repair.

The city needs to invest $5.5 million each year just to keep up with

the demand of wear and tear. Last year we were lucky to get $1.8 million after the original ear marked amount was less than $400,000. Also stated in the audit, our Measure S funding, which was sold to us as infrastruc ture repair, is now being used to balance our general fund.”

He also listed exam ples of what he believes is wasted spending:

n $20,000 for a stove (April 2022).

n $11,000 for a new Christmas tree that just needed regular watering, plus $2,000 for removal of the old tree.

n $1,104 for unplug ging a urinal. (August 2022)

“As mayor, I will lead by example to show council members that they need to get involved in the commu nity physically, to make sure they are reading agendas, researching the data and working hard to create solutions. We need to challenge the status quo while working with others to provide posi tive opportunities for our city,” Berg stated.

Hernandez stated that while the homeless issue is complex, it is an issue on residents’ minds. She views prevention as a critical part of addressing the matter.

“The concerns that I have received include a concern for the individu als who are unsheltered and in need of assis

tance, a concern for personal safety, a concern regarding the illegal encampments and the trash this generates, and a fear of fires that could be started in a homeless encampment,” she said.

Her solution includes establishing “a Home less Prevention Program that supports, in con junction with county and state service providers, a way in which Suisun City residents, or their family members, can navigate the available services and programs that can help mitigate their situation prior to becoming homeless.”

But it will take money, she added.

“This issue requires resources beyond those that Suisun City can navigate alone. With limited funding, staffing and resources, we find ourselves challenged by our own limitations. We must continue to work toward increasing reve nues so that we can fund the resources needed. We must also continue to work with and advo cate for our needs in the recently established 2X2 Regional Homeless ness Committee, which is one step forward in advocating for resources and regional strategies to address this issues,” Her nandez said.

Other needs are to “strengthen our homeless intervention,” with coor dinated efforts among departments such as

Police, Fire and Public Works. That includes cleaning up encamp ments one day a month. She also noted that while she supports the regional effort, the city needs to increase advo cacy efforts for issues specific to Suisun.

As for governmental transparency, Hernandez proposes implementing a Community Engagement Strategy that “provides opportunities for resi dents to participate in community surveys, pro motes opportunities to engage with our collabo rators and partners who work with us directly, and hosts an annual State of the City that provides res idents with opportunities to learn about what the city is doing and provide input,” in addition to regular council meetings.

An annual Customer Service Review and improvements to how the city communicates infor mation to its residents are also part of her approach.

“I would invite council members to help design and provide direction on how to improve the way in which we keep our res idents informed. This may result in seeking or programming funding to reach these goals or seek community partners and collaborators to support,” she stated.

The candidates’ full responses may be found on the Daily Repub lic website.

Coronation set for May 6; Camilla to be crowned alongside Charles

Tribune Con

LONDON — King Charles III’s coronation will be held next May 6, with Camilla, the queen consort, being crowned alongside him, Buck ingham Palace has announced.

The deeply religious affair will take place in London’s Westminster Abbey, eight months after the monarch’s accession and the death of the queen.

The palace said the cer emony will be “rooted in long-standing traditions and pageantry” but also “reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future.”

Charles III will be anointed with holy oil, receive the orb, corona tion ring and sceptre, be crowned with the majes sister Margaret, while the in long-standing traditions ceremonial robes, and a

number of rituals, such as the presentation of gold ingots, axed.

Coronations have not traditionally been held on a weekend, with the late queen’s taking place on a Tuesday. It has not yet been confirmed whether there will be any arrange ments for a bank holiday.

Further details are due to be released in due course, but the gov ernment and the royal household will be con scious of the scale of the event in light of the cost-of-living crisis facing the country.

The late queen’s coro nation took place on June 2, 1953 – 16 months after she became monarch – and there had been specula tion Charles would opt for a June date close to or even

on the 70th anniversary of his mother’s ceremony.

Special seating struc tures were built inside the church at the time to increase the usual congre gation from 2,000 to 8,000.

Security will be height ened given the high-profile nature of the day.

Sandgren on his game at Fairfield pro tennis event

M att Miller MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

ROCKVILLE —

Tenny Sandgren walked off the court Tuesday at the TaubeHaase Men’s Pro Championship at Solano Community College the winner of three matches in three days.

Sandgren paused a moment and thought it over before saying, “I haven’t won three matches in a row at a tournament since the Australian Open in 2020.”

That’s when Sand gren was at the top of his game and earned a berth in the quarterfinals of the major championship. He’s not sure what that kind of success means for him this week in Fair field, but it certainly can’t hurt.

Sandgren had to win two qualifying matches Sunday and Monday before even reaching the main draw of 32. On Tuesday, he knocked out Sebastian Fanselow of Germany 6-4, 7-6(7).

Sandgren is currently the 435th ranked singles player in the world. He has reached as high as 41st and twice has been to the Austra

lian Open quarterfinals, in 2020 and 2018. One of those matches was a tough five-set loss to Roger Federer.

Injuries and simple poor play have been his downfall since.

“It’s a brutal sport,” Sandgren said after his match. “It’s really hard. Everybody is really good and if you are not playing your best, not chomping at the bit, you’re going to lose. Things can tailspin pretty quickly without a lot of effort.”

The action Tuesday featured a full slate of singles action and two doubles matches. Com petition in the ATP Pro 80 event continues through Sunday on three hard courts at Solano.

Tuesday was a good day for qualifiers.

American quali fier Sam Riffice won this third straight match after holding off Stefan Kozlov of the United States 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. Qualifier Alexandr Coz binov (Moldova) did the same with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 win over Nicolas Mejia of Colombia. Qual ifier Alfredo Perez of the U.S. rolled over Malek Jaziri of Tunisia 6-2, 6-2.

2 MEL football games scheduled Thursday night

over Rodriguez (41-12) and Vanden (28-13). The Bulldogs are 4-3 overall.

FAIRFIELD — Two Monticello Empire League football games are scheduled Thurs day night because of a referee shortage around the Sac-Joaquin Section.

Vacaville will play at Fairfield. Vanden will be at Will C. Wood in Vacaville.

Rodriguez will keep a Friday night game as scheduled at Armijo. Vacaville Christian will host Rio Vista in a Satur day night game.

Vacaville has opened MEL action with wins

Fairfield is winless at 0-2 in the MEL after shutout losses to Will C. Wood (42-0) and Rodri guez (33-0). The Falcons are 0-7 overall.

Vanden's loss to Vacaville was the Vikings' first of the season. Vanden opened MEL action with a 42-6 win over Armijo and is 6-1 overall.

Will C. Wood has an MEL win over Fairfield and last week the Wild cats beat Armijo 38-6. Wood has an overall record of 5-2.

VACAVILLE — The Rodriguez High School girls golf team completed an unbeaten Monticello Empire League season by winning the final tour nament by 75 strokes Tuesday at Cypress Lakes Golf Course.

Rodriguez shot a team score of 401 in the event that covered 18 holes per individual. Vacav ille was second at 476, just one stroke ahead of Vanden’s 477.

Rodriguez and Vacav ille will be the team representatives at the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III Tournament

Oct. 25 at Micke Grove Golf Course in Lodi. It will feature a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Vanden grabbed all the individual qualifying spots.

The best finishers at the divisional tournament advance to the Section Masters Oct. 31 at The Reserve in Stockton.

Fairfield, Armijo and Will C. Wood all played best ball scramble because they didn’t have enough players to com plete teams. Their scores were not official.

Darla Dela Torre led Rodriguez with the lowest round of the day, a solid 68. Nikki Chin davong shot a 72 and was followed by Jody

Castillo (84), Coco Trotter (87) and Destiny Mendiola (90).

Erica Villegas led Vacaville with a 70. Vil legas was followed by Brooke Williams (97), Raquel McGrath (102), Kate McMahon (103) and Grace Kramer (104).

Leading Vanden was Fatum Soumahoro with an 82. She was fol lowed by Zoe Zanassi (95), Kara Chung (95), Diana Borchert (102) and Maggie Taylor (103).

The top eight indi vidual golfers also earn all-MEL honors and featured Villegas (127 points), Chindavong (124.5), Soumahoro (115), Dela Torre (113),

Castillo (110), Williams (98.5), Trotter (93) and Zanassi (85).

Rodriguez com pleted its regular season matches Monday with a win over Fairfield at Rancho Solano Golf Course. The Falcons had to forfeit the match but the Mustangs still went out and shot an impres sive 192 for nine holes.

Castillo led the way with a 34. The other five for Rodriguez included Chindavong (37), Dela Torre (37), Coco Trotter (41), Concepcion (43) and Ellie Steiger (47).

The Mustangs finished 20-0 in the MEL.

Jason Verrett could be back in lineup soon for 49ers

FAIRFIELD — Defen sive back Jason Verrett did not play Sunday at Carolina, but he returned to practice earlier in the week for the San Fran cisco 49ers and could be back on the field earlier than thought out of necessity.

49ers starting corner back Emmanuel Moseley suffered a season-end ing injury in the 37-15 win over the Panthers. That means Verrett, the Rodriguez High School graduate, could be thrust into duty if doctors and coaches deem him fit to do

so. But that won’t be deter mined until after they see how he tackles a week of practice before this week’s game at Atlanta. Verrett suffered an

ACL injury in the opening game of the 2021 season in Detroit. He returned to the practice field for the first time last week. That means he missed

all of 2021, any offseason workouts after that, and training camp.

In 39 career games, Verrett has 133 tackles (113 solo, 20 assists) with seven intercep tions, one touchdown and 26 pass defends. His best seasons were in 2015, during which he earned a Pro Bowl spot with the then-San Diego Char gers, and in 2020 with the 49ers (3-2).

Linebacker Mykal Walker (Vacaville), mean while, will be on the other side of the field. Walker has had a hand in 11 tackles (seven solo, four assists), one for loss,

for the Atlanta Falcons in a 21-15 loss to Tampa Bay.

The Falcons are 2-3.

College Football

Senior linebacker Armon Bailey (Vanden) had a hand in four tackles and also had a quarter back hurry in a 55-7 win by Sacrament State over Northern Colorado. The Hornets, now 5-0 and off to their best start in years, play Saturday at Eastern Washington.

Junior center Jake Lev engood (Vacaville) and Oregon State stunned Stanford 28-27 in the final seconds. The Beavers (4-2) scored four touch

downs in the game, gained 442 total yards and didn’t give up a sack. Wash ington State will be in Corvallis on Saturday to face Oregon State.

Sophomore linebacker Zion Booker (St. PatrickSt. Vincent) had a hand in five tackles, one for a 2-yard loss, and broke up four passes as Pacific won at Puget Sound 41-21. The Boxers (3-1) host Linfield on Saturday.

Giants may have found star in

By Evan WEBEck

AREA

Most of Pete Putila’s adult life has been spent devoted to developing many of the players who will took the field Tuesday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series, the beginning of the Astros’ sixth straight postseason appearance.

But the night before, rather than pre paring for the Mariners or reveling in their success, Putila was on a Zoom call with Bay Area media, being introduced as the 10th general manager of the San Francisco Giants – Farhan Zaidi’s new right-hand man, the replacement for Scott Harris, who last month departed for the top job in Detroit.

A logical question for the new guy, then, was their any particular player who showed the fruits of your labor?

“Yeah,” Putila responded, “I think our starting rotation is a testament to that.”

He continued.

“Our starting shortstop.”

“Starting center fielder.”

“Starting third baseman.”

“Second baseman.”

“The list sort of goes on,” he said.

The Giants? The last remnant of the homegrown core from their champion ship run is on the verge of retirement.

Besides Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt, San Francisco proudly claims Logan Webb, who this year became their first homegrown Opening Day starter since Madison Bumgarner. But who else?

Joey Bart, the Giants’ highest draft pick since Will Clark, caught that start and many more but had to spend a month in the minors. Hard-throwing Camilo Doval, who signed out of the Domini can Republic in 2015, is proving to be a back-of-the-bullpen fixture for years to come. Austin Slater, an eighth-round pick in 2014, is one half of a solid out field platoon.

But look around at the remain ing playoff field: the Mariners have Julio Rodriguez; the Yankees have Aaron Judge; Atlanta has Austin Riley, Spencer Strider, Michael Harris II and more; even in the Dodgers’ $280 million lineup, drafted-and-developed catcher Will Smith bats cleanup.

Houston might boast the most home grown talent of any team.

With Putila, 33, the Giants will have the youngest active general manager in the majors, a title that once belonged to Harris. He grew up in a small town outside Pittsburgh, his dad telling him tales about Roberto Clemente, and went to college in West Virginia, where he also served as the baseball team’s student manager.

At 21, then-Astros GM Ed Wade hired him as an intern and promoted him to full-time staff a few months later.

Putila survived two owners, three general managers and one sign-steal ing scandal. At one point in 2020, after the fall out of MLB’s investigation into the Astros’ cheating on their way to the 2017 World Series, Putila was the topranking official left in the Astros’ front office; however, he said he did not inter view for the job that eventually went to James Click.

“I’ve gotten to see the organization transform over the years,” Putila said, denouncing the Astros’ sign-stealing and claiming he had no knowledge of it. “Just some of the success (and) some of the failures, it’s good to be able to reflect back and focus on those successes and make sure we avoid any of the failures.”

(Zaidi said he confirmed with MLB that Putila was not part of the league’s investigation, which cost some their jobs.)

Many of Putila’s 12 years in the Astros organization have been devoted to cre ating, maintaining and adapting one of the game’s most highly regarded player development systems. He began over

seeing all major- and minor-league development in 2016 and was promoted to assistant GM in 2020.

“One of the things that really excited us about Pete is the fact that he has an extensive background in player devel opment,” Zaidi said. “That doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re limiting the scope to the minor leagues. We’ve talked a lot over the last couple years about how much we value continued player development through and including the major-league level. That’s really been a point of emphasis throughout Pete’s very successful career with the Astros.”

Flick on TBS at lunchtime this week for a visual representation of Puti la’s résumé.

The fruits, to which Putila alluded:

n Four-fifths of the Astros’ starting rotation – everyone but Justin Verlander – signed as international amateurs and were developed through their farm system, which Putila oversaw starting in 2016. The quartet of starters – Framber Valdez, Cristian Javier, Luis Garcia and José Urquidy – totaled 10.1 Wins Above Replacement this season, according to Baseball-Reference’s calculation.

n All four of their starting infielders –first baseman Yuli Gurriel, second baseman Jose Altuve, shortstop Jeremy Peña and third baseman Alex Bregman, who combined for 14.1 bWAR – were either drafted or signed as international free agents (though Altuve made his MLB debut the same year Putila started as an intern).

n Their second-biggest home run hitter, Kyle Tucker, mans right field and was a first-round pick in 2015. Tucker’s final tally? Thirty, a number no Giant has reached since Barry Bonds. Next to him, in center, is Chas McCormick, a 17thround selection in 2017.

n And their DH? That would be Yordan Alvarez. An unheralded prospect when the Astros acquired him from the Dodgers for reliever Josh Fields who became the league’s top power hitter besides Judge. (The Dodgers’ GM at the time? Zaidi.)

Zaidi explained why Putila’s skillset –“the ability to cut through a lot of noise and information and identify things that are really important” – is particularly useful in the field of player development.

“There’s no shortage of ideas, tech nologies and points of view in player development,” Zaidi said. “But actually streamlining it and identifying key pri orities for the organization and things we really want to focus on and be best in class at . . . I think Pete will be an incredi ble asset to us in achieving that.”

Putila is leaving an organization in the playoffs – one that won 100 games for the fourth time in five full seasons –for one that is not, though he lauded the resources coming to his disposal in San Francisco.

The Giants hope some of that founda tion has already been laid: top pitching prospect Kyle Harrison should debut next season, shortstop Marco Luciano was as good as advertised when healthy,

Iguodala out for start of Warriors’ season; Thompson could play Friday

By M adElinE k EnnEy BAY AREA NEWS GROUP

SAN FRANCISCO —

Coach Steve Kerr remains optimistic that Klay Thompson will be ready for the Warriors’ season opener next week but definitively ruled Andre Iguodala out for the start of the regular season.

Thompson scrimmaged for the first time with the team Tuesday ahead of the Warriors’ preseason game against Portland and could play in Golden State’s preseason finale Friday at Chase Center against Denver, Kerr said. The 32-year-old shoot ing guard previously said he didn’t play in any five-on-five during the offseason because of a mental block stemming

from the 2020 offsea son when he ruptured his Achilles tendon in a pickup game.

But two other key veterans – Draymond Green and Iguodala –were absent from Tuesday morning’s scrimmage.

Green, 32, remains away from the team after he punched Jordan Poole in the face at prac tice last week. Kerr said he will address Green’s timeline after Tuesday’s preseason game.

And Iguodala, 38, still hasn’t played five-on-five since he decided to come out of retirement and sign a one-year deal with Golden State a day before camp opened. He won’t be ready for opening night Oct. 18against the Lakers.

“He won’t be ready

for the first game,” Kerr said. “We are going to push that back and really look at the big picture. It’s an 82-game season, so we want him healthy long term. Given that he needed some time in camp and get where he needs to be, he won’t be ready by opening night.”

The Warriors are playing it safe with Iguo dala, especially after how last season played out.

Iguodala played nearly 21 minutes a night for the first 12 games, playing a key role in helping jump start the Warriors’ hot start while then-rookie Moses Moody was in Santa Cruz with Golden State’s G League affil iate and fellow rookie Jonathan Kuminga saw limited minutes.

Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group/TNS file Farhan Zaidi, the president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants, found a new right hand man in Pete Putila of the Houston Astros to be his new general manager.

Who’s to blame for California’s high gas prices?

As the inimitable Yogi Berra once said, it’s déjà vu all over again.

As gasoline prices spiked last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom denounced oil com panies and called a special legislative session to impose a new tax on their profits.

“Crude oil prices are down but oil and gas companies have jacked up prices at the pump in California. This doesn’t add up,” Newsom said. “We’re not going to stand by while greedy oil companies fleece Califor nians. Instead, I’m calling for a windfall tax to ensure excess oil profits go back to help millions of Californians who are getting ripped off.”

Newsom is only the latest governor to promise a crack down on oil companies when pump prices spike. Over the years, there have been numer ous investigations into why California’s prices are markedly higher than those of other states, but there’s never been any conclusive proof of collusion.

Rather, it’s been repeatedly demonstrated that California’s relatively high gas prices are largely, if not completely, explainable by unique factors such as the state’s particular refin ing recipe meant to minimize smog-producing emissions, its high taxes, and its overall high cost of doing business.

More recently, California has seen decreas ing refining capacity due to the state’s commitment to eliminating gasoline-powered cars and trucks and shifting to “zero emission” vehicles powered by batteries or hydrogen.

Refiners are unwilling to invest in production upgrades when their operations face statemandated phaseout, and as in-state refining declines, California is no longer a self-con tained fuels island. It becomes increasingly subject to the global commodities market with the disadvantage of requiring specially formu lated fuel that cannot be readily obtained from outside sources.

“California policy makers have knowingly adopted policies with the expressed intent of eliminating the refinery sector,” Valero vice president Scott Folwarkow told the state Energy Commission in a letter. “California requires refiners to pay very high carbon cap and trade fees and burdened gasoline with cost of the low carbon fuel standards. With the backdrop of these policies, not surprisingly, California has seen refineries completely close or shut down major units. When you shut down refin ery operations, you limit the resilience of the supply chain.”

Amy Myers Jaffe, managing director of the Tufts University Climate Policy Lab, alluded to the decline in refining in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

“Do I have the new infrastructure fast enough before I retire the old infrastructure, and what happens if you’re in the middle?” Jaffe said. “The way we’re doing it now is you just let the fuel costs go up and then we leave poor people with no ability to get anywhere. . . . And then [California leaders] grandstand against the oil companies – that’s not a solution.”

The Times article pointed out that various authorities have been warning Capitol poli ticians for years that California needs plans to manage the shift to renewable transpor tation while maintaining gasoline supplies until they are no longer needed, but the pleas went unheeded.

So what will come of Newsom’s special leg islative session for a tax on windfall profits? Legislative leaders seem to be lukewarm at best. They know that rounding up two-thirds votes for such a tax would be difficult despite Demo crats having supermajorities in both legislative houses, especially if Newsom cannot provide rock-solid evidence of oil company malfeasance.

The industry will argue that such as tax would merely be passed on to consumers in even higher pump prices and/or constrict supply even more.

Politicians’ time would be better spent making sure the complex transition from hydrocarbon fuels to renewables isn’t the disas ter, particularly for poor consumers, that Jaffe describes.

Something fishy in endorsement switch

I am referring to Jack Batson’s latest DR column where he listed his endorsements for this current midterm election. In this column, he endorsed Catherine Moy for mayor and cited in a very articulate manner, why. He had recently seen her at a public appearance and he was glowing about what she said and how she presented herself. Thus, his endorsement.

He spoke about why he didn’t endorse Harry Price – Harry hadn’t seemed himself lately and for a variety of reasons probably wouldn’t make it through another term. Then, mere days later, Jack Batson sent a letter to the editor of the DR stating that he had received “information on Saturday” (he didn’t say what it was) but all of a sudden he said he no longer endorsed Cat but had changed his endorsement to Harry Price.

Sorry, but to me, this just smacks of corruption and, sadly, the voting has begun without most voters even knowing about this. Nice timing, huh? The kind of thing that happens conve niently right before an election. This kind of ploy is totally unfair to voters who are trying their hardest to make the right decisions. Jack Batson has done us an injustice.

People do read what he has to say, even if we don’t agree.

Vote yes on Measure S

As a teacher for 28 years in the Fairfield-Suisun School District, I can speak personally to the impor tance of passing Measure S to update local classrooms and school facilities. I have taught at both David Weir Pre paratory Academy and Cleo Gordon Elementary School and have seen firsthand the impact updated and modernized [schools] can have on the quality of education for our students.

While Measure J, the last local school bond, upgraded some schools like Cleo Gordon Elementary School, others like David Weir Preparatory Academy are still in need of repair.

The simple truth is the district’s schools, some of which are up to 60 years old, were built for a different era of education. While some schools have been upgraded, many like David Weir Preparatory Academy still need urgent repairs and upgrades so local students receive a high-quality edu cation that prepares them for college and in-demand careers. I saw the direct, positive impact the upgrades at Cleo Gordon had on student learn ing. Safe and up-to-date classrooms, science labs, job training facilities provide the environment our teach ers need to help our students do their best.

Measure S will make critical improvements so our Fairfield-Suisun schools can provide all students with a 21st-century education in safe, upto-date classrooms and labs. The best part is, Measure S upgrades our schools without increasing tax rates beyond what we already pay.

Measures S requires strict fiscal oversight and accountability to ensure funds can’t be taken by the state – every dime from S will stay right here in our community to repair and update our local schools. By law, no funds can be used for adminis trators’ salaries or benefits. Annual audits are mandatory to ensure all funds are spent as promised.

Please join local teachers in our Fairfield and Suisun City schools in supporting Measure S to modern ize and upgrade our local schools to provide our students with the quality education they need and deserve.

Vote Yes for Travis School District Measure M

Please consider supporting Measure M, a first-time bond authori

zation for the Travis School District.

Their situation is distinct from the Fairfield-Suisun and Vacav ille school bond measures also on the Nov. 8 ballot. Those districts had large bond measures in 2016 and 2014, respectively, and are now asking for additional amounts. Voters in those areas can make their own decision. However, the Travis School District does not yet have a propertybased bond.

The Travis district was formed in 1962 and at one time educated stu dents mostly from Travis Air Force Base. Military families living on base do not pay property tax. Instead, the U.S. government pays some funds for each student attending. Over the decades, the number of people on the base has gradually shrunk with a proportional drop in relative federal funding. On the other hand, much of the recent and planned growth in both Fairfield and Vacaville lies in the Travis district. Today, most Travis district students live in southeast Vacaville or northeast Fairfield and are not connected to the base.

The Travis district has been very economical with their funds. But without a bond measure that most school districts enjoy, funding for school facilities is extremely tight. Many buildings date to the early days of the district. The additional students, driven by the growth in Fairfield and Vacaville, now have some in temporary classrooms.

Families living on the base do not vote on this measure. The outcome will be decided by Fairfield and Vacaville residents living in the Travis district. In turn, residents in the cities will get the benefit of higher home values. We often see real estate listings proudly stating the property is in the Travis School District.

The district plans to pursue matching state funds and limit bond offerings in higher interest rate envi ronments. Please vote Yes to keep good facilities and high standards in the Travis School District.

Price, Timm best choices for Fairfield mayor, Solano supervisor

W hy would Jack Batson waste his energy writing his local endorsement column then change his mind before the ink was set? Maybe’s he partially come to his senses.

Harry Price is the best choice for Fairfield mayor. Harry has demonstrated lead ership and dedication. He has much more to offer. His oppo nent spends most of her time on social media or being on the short side of important issues. Leadership of a city council requires someone who can organize, bring people together and make difficult public policy deci sions by consensus. Cat Moy doesn’t understand you can’t lead if no one will follow.

Harry has worked with me to bring transportation improvements, grants and hard-won projects that improve conditions for Fairfield res idents. Harry supported and helped start the County-City Homeless 2X2 task force, with council members Rick Vaccaro and Doriss Panduro serving. Having voted to support it,

Ms. Moy has done nothing but criticize it. Her “experience” managing the Heather House homeless shelter was a total failure. It closed.

Ms. Moy calls her fellow council members “corrupt.” No mayor can lead without council support. She doesn’t have it. On important issues, Cat Moy is on the short end of 6-1 votes. It’s the opposite of leadership.

Fairfield is making progress on homelessness, crime, transportation, a revitalized downtown and a part nership with the county to protect agriculture in Suisun Valley. Good things are happening. It’s why we need Mayor Price and why Chuck Timm deserves our support for county supervisor.

Chuck has the experience to deal head on with the homeless issue.

Suisun City’s mayor wouldn’t even appoint Chuck’s opponent to the new homeless task force. Homeless ness, trash and lack of maintenance has left Suisun City in dire straits.

Wanda Williams has done nothing to turn things around. She shouldn’t be awarded with a promotion.

Travis Air Force Base is facing new and dangerous development encroachment issues. Chuck has always put Travis first. Wanda is considering development near the south gate that Travis sees as a threat to base operations and could put Travis on a future base closure list. Her actions increase this possi bility. Travis’ future should not be in her hands.

Chuck will support Fairfield, Suisun City and the Suisun Valley Valley, just as he’s done for decades.

I’ve served Suisun City and the county as mayor and supervisor for 36 years. I’ve served you, not the organizations I was elected to. Harry Price and Chuck Timm have done the same. I strongly endorse Harry Price for Fairfield mayor and Chuck Timm for the Board of Supervisors.

Jim Spering is the 3rd District repre sentative on the Solano County Board of Supervisors. He opted not to see re-election.

Lansbury was an instantly recognizable and readily transformable talent

Charles MCN

A ngela Lansbury, who achieved widespread fame as the star of the long-run ning CBS series “Murder, She Wrote” and was the recipient of six Tony Awards (including an honorary one bestowed this year) was never to be confused with any other performer. A royal in exile, astringently self-possessed, her syllables arrayed like fine china, she was at once instantly recognizable and readily transformable.

Lansbury, who died on Tuesday at age 96, didn’t dis appear into her roles, but she could play anything. She was as much a character actor as she was a star.

In 2014, when writing a profile of Lansbury, I asked Stephen Sondheim for his thoughts on one of his most dis tinguished interpreters. He was away in London and missed my deadline for the piece, but I preserved his pithy remarks: “It’s hard to write about her without sounding like her agent.

Suffice it to say that every play wright should have her in their play and every theater song writer should have her in their musical.”

The daughter of an afflu ent English timber merchant and politician who died when she was 9, Lansbury was just a teenager when she signed a contract at Metro-GoldwynMayer after having left Britain with her actress mother and brothers during World War II. She was selling cosmetics at a Los Angeles department store at the time to help support her family when studio boss Louis B. Mayer, impressed with her screen test, took a shine to her.

Hired as an attractive utility player and placed on the MGM assembly line, she was cast in supporting roles in “Gaslight” and “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” earning Oscar nomi nations for her work in both films. She was Elizabeth Tay lor’s older sister in “National Velvet,” a saloon singer rival of Judy Garland’s in “The Harvey Girls” and part of a love trian gle with Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy in “State of the Union.”

Working alongside Holly wood’s biggest stars was both an education and a source of frustration for Lansbury. Cast in parts that didn’t always feel like an ideal fit, she saw that the studio had consigned her to the second tier. She longed for the stage, having studied drama when she arrived in the U.S. through a scholarship from the American Theatre Wing. But she had a family to support, and after she left MGM at the end of her contract, she started appearing regularly on televi sion throughout the 1950s. Curiously, it was after one of her most indelible film performances, playing

the treacherous mother in the 1962 classic “The Man churian Candidate,” that she decided it was time to pursue her dream of musical theater. The prospect of being typecast by Hollywood as a maternal terror galvanized her to action. As Lansbury explained when I interviewed her at her Brent wood, California, home in 2014, “You can’t live down a part like that. I decided, ‘Forget it. I’m going to sing now. I’m going to make you happy by singing.’”

She starred on Broadway in the Sondheim flop “Anyone Can Whistle,” which closed shortly after it opened. Playing the zany yet villainously corrupt “Mayoress” Cora Hoover Hooper, Lansbury had no inter est in reprising a version of her character from “The Manchu rian Candidate.”

She recalled a few scream ing matches with book-writer and director Arthur Laurents, who became a staunch friend.

To make matters worse, she hurt her voice singing the part. But this inauspicious launch of her Broadway musical career would be eclipsed by the enor mous success she was to have two years later in the Jerry Herman musical “Mame.”

Playing the title role of the extravagantly glamor ous New York bohemian who finds herself suddenly saddled with a kid, Lansbury won the first of her Tony Awards. But something more important was gained: The respected utility player had become a bona fide Broadway star. No matter what else she did – and there would be much more – she would forever be recognized as a toptier talent.

In a 1985 television inter view with Barbara Walters, Lansbury recalled “humbling” herself to get the part. “It’s the one time in my career that I have done that, and I did it for Mame because I knew Mame

was the key that would unlock a whole new career for me and get me out of this kind of dol drums of cameo parts that I was locked into for so many years.”

Lansbury would win her second Tony for her perfor mance in “Dear World,” a short-lived Herman musical that was a comedown from the dizzying heights of “Mame.” But Broadway lightning struck again a few years later with the 1974 revival of “Gypsy.”

Stepping into the notorious stage mother role that Ethel Merman originated, Lansbury knew that she couldn’t compete with her predecessor’s raw the atrical power. So instead she dug into the character’s dra matic complexities. Working again with book-writer and director Laurents, she deliv ered a “Rose’s Turn” that was at once a seismic 11 o’clock number and a full-scale nervous breakdown.

Lansbury’s ability to be both broad and subtle, larger than life yet unmistakably human, was indispensable in intro ducing the world to “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” Critics were initially respectful but full of doubts about this bloody, Brechtian musical thriller by Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler. Lansbury, who by this time had become widely beloved for casting spells in the 1971 Disney film “Bed knobs and Broomsticks,” brought out the comedy without undercutting the horror. She delivered the Grand Guignol with a wink that was all the more disturbing for being so eccentrically amusing.

In today’s deal, North took my advice to heart, driving all the way to game. However, he did have a side-suit singleton and prime controls in his two aces.

West led the heart king. Then, as East had hoped, West shifted to the diamond six. Declarer won with dummy’s ace, played a club to his king (wisely, not tempted to finesse) and ruffed a heart in the dummy. South now cashed dummy’s club ace before he carefully – and flamboyantly – returned to hand by ruffing a low diamond with the spade ace. After trumping his last heart in the dummy, declarer was happy to concede three tricks: one spade, one heart and one club.

West wasn’t too pleased with his partner. “You can see,” he said, “that declarer is going to ruff a heart or two in the dummy. I can’t afford to switch to a spade without blowing a trick. You should overtake my heart king with your ace and lead a trump. Then I think we can defeat the contract.”

Third hand should always take some time at trick one to plan the defense, even if declarer has already called for a card from the dummy. Here, East had two choices at trick one; he should have considered them both.

bodies he plans to rack up. When the idea occurs to her that these corpses would make an ideal filling for her meat pies, she treats the matter like a perfectly reason able business decision before giddily imagin ing the cannibal variety she’ll be able to offer her customers.

You can see the light bulb go off in Lansbury’s head in the performance that was filmed for tele vision at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion as she launches into “A Little Priest,” the hilariously macabre number in which she and Sweeney list the pies according to the victim’s profes sion. Lansbury’s cockney squawks and daft, diabol ical music hall flourishes delighted an audience who were willing to go wherever she was pre pared to take them, even if it meant imag ining “shepherd’s pie peppered with actual shepherd on top!”

Sondheim’s inge nious madness found the ideal singing char acter actress. A brilliant theatrical technician capable of juggling clev erness with clowning, she honored Sondheim’s wildly original lyrics with her own musical precision while making the outlandish scenario fiendishly entertaining.

Lansbury’s great gift was her ability to enter into a storybook reality, regardless of medium, and place her talents at the service of narrative. She wasn’t shy of the spotlight, but then she

learned from MGM days the power of a star to sell an illusion. When I interviewed her, she was gearing up to reprise her Tonywinning Broadway performance as the eccentric spiritual ist Madame Arcati in Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit” at the Ahmanson Theatre. She was 89 and committed to working, even if it meant wearing an earpiece to stay on cue. Her honorary Oscar stood inconspicuously among the bric-a-brac. The future was her chief concern.

Lansbury’s relation ship with her audience was precious to her. After 12 seasons of enter ing the living rooms of viewers as the mystery writer turned detec tive Jessica Fletcher on “Murder, She Wrote,” the series that began in 1984, she wanted to preserve the special con nection that TV uniquely provides. Worldwide syndication of the series, to say nothing of her voice-over performance as Mrs. Potts in the 1991 Disney animated film “Beauty and the Beast,” only strength ened her desire to give back to her growing intergenerational legion of fans.

A consummate pro fessional when acting, she was comfortable in her own skin when out of the spotlight.

Proud of her British heritage, Irish roots and Ameri can home, she embraced her past, the tragedies as well as the triumphs, with the same cleareyed aplomb that she approached her unlim ited range of characters throughout her long and exemplary career.

Giants

From Page B2

and outfielder Luis Matos is off to a hot start in the Arizona Fall League. Third baseman Casey Schmitt is regarded as one of the top defensive prospects in all of base ball and could arrive next year, as well.

However, the Giants’ depth at the upper levels of the minor leagues was particularly scarce this season, and when Cole Waites debuted late in the season, he became the first player signed or

drafted and developed under the current regime to reach the majors.

Putila, along with farm director Kyle Haines (who got a full endorse ment from Zaidi), will surely be tasked with addressing some of those shortcomings.

His former club will play in the ALDS this week and possi bly deeper into October. Putila, though, will be leaving immediately for the Giants.

“Yeah,” Zaidi joked, “I think he’s going to have to buy his own tickets to the Astros playoff games the rest of the way.”
