Biden told Russia’s Vladimir Pu-
tin that invading Ukraine would
cause “widespread human suffer-

mitted to diplomacy to end the
crisis but “equally prepared for
other scenarios,” the White House
said Saturday. It offered no sug-

Biden also said the United
States and its allies would re-
spond “decisively and impose
swift and severe costs” if the
Kremlin attacked its neighbor,
according to the White House.
The two presidents spoke a day
after Biden’s national security ad-
viser, Jake Sullivan, warned that
U.S. intelligence shows a Russian
invasion could begin within days
and before the Winter Olympics
in Beijing end on Feb. 20.
Russia denies it intends to in-
vade but has massed well over
100,000 troops near the Ukrai-
nian border and has sent troops
to exercises in neighboring Be-
larus, encircling Ukraine on three
sides. U.S. officials say Russia’s
buildup of firepower has reached
the point where it could invade on
short notice.

When Mission Viejo leaders in

changing how voting is done in
the city — after nearly two years
of trying to implement a cumula-

two years longer than the terms
they were elected to.
Now a resident is asking the
state attorney general to allow
his lawsuit over the extension of
those two-year terms to four years

(Total cases on February 12 - total cases on January 29) / population x 10,000. On some occasions, a county, state or country may correct their totals, which may result in negative numbers.

the Coliseum in front of a
reported 80,000 people at
the Democratic National
Convention in 1960. Other
notables to have graced the
99-year-old stadium before
large crowds include Pope
John Paul II in 1987 and
Nelson Mandela in 1990.
The Rams first occupied
the hallowed halls in 1946

Cleveland. Today, the Rams
will take on the Cincinnati
Bengals in Super Bowl LVI
— about 6 1/2 miles away,
at SoFi Stadium. The Col-
iseum hosted the first Su-
per Bowl in 1967 — before it
was even called that — and
another in 1973. But with
Inglewood’s posh new pal-

won’t see another.

Landlords finding ways to evict after getting rental aid

By Michael Casey
A day before she was
due to be evicted in No-
vember from her Atlanta
home, Shanelle King heard
that she had been awarded
about $15,000 in rental as-
sistance. She could breathe
again.
But then the 43-year-
old hairdresser got a letter
last month from her land-
lord saying the company
was canceling her lease
in March — seven months
early — without any expla-
nation.
“I’m really pissed about
it. I thought I would be
comfortable again back
in my home,” said King,
whose work dried up dur-
ing the pandemic and who
now worries about finding
another apartment she can
afford. “Here I am back up
against the wall with no-
where to stay. I don’t know
what I am going to do.”

The highest priced bottles have the
lowest markups
If you dig in your heels, determined not to pay
more than $25 for a bottle of wine, you might
be missing a great deal, says Mark McDonald,
chef and co-owner of Old Vine Kitchen + Bar in Costa

bottles of $150 wine,” he said. “Typically if I did a stan-
dard markup on that it wouldn’t be approachable and
it would be harder to sell. We want people to experi-
ence some of these wines that are a little more special,
and that are a higher price point. So we take less of a

My fascination with love letters began
when I first read the exchange between po-
ets Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert
Browning. Would that I might love some-
one enough to express it in the poetry of
“Sonnets from the Portuguese,”
Elizabeth’s love letters to her
husband.
Later, I would discover that
the tree of love letters has
many branches. Not all of them
have to do with romance. But
all of them have to do with
love.
Like this one: Although I
may not have realized it at the
time, my mother’s love letter to her daugh-

boxed and mailed to my dorm for Valen-

Or this one: “It’s been a long time since
I got down on my knees to pray,” my long-
time friend, Linda, wrote in a letter that
arrived the day before my cancer surgery.
“But I’m doing it for you tonight.”

The magic of perspective

Marlon James spins
different takes on the
same story in his Dark
Star fantasy trilogy
By Liz Ohanesian
Correspondent
When Marlon James began the research
that would go on to inform his Dark Star
trilogy, he wasn’t planning to write one
book — let alone three.
“For a while, I didn’t know what I was
envisioning,” James says from Brooklyn on
a recent video call, “because a lot of the re-
search I did was merely to do research.”
“Moon Witch, Spider King,” out Tues-
day from Riverhead Books, is the second
installment in the trilogy that began with
James’ 2019 bestseller, “Black Leopard,
Red Wolf.” Through these books, James is
inviting readers into a fantasy filled with
intrigue and steeped in African mythology.
The author, who grew up in Jamaica,
was familiar with some of the continent’s
geography and had studied African his-
tory in high school and college. Mythology,
though, was a different story. “I’m clearly

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

The Los Angeles Rams are in their second Super
Bowl since 2018 and playing in their home
stadium. They face the Bengals, who haven’t been
to a Super Bowl since 1989.
By KURT SNIBBE / Southern California News Group
GAME SNAPSHOT
The Rams are 4.5 point favorites against the AFC’s Bengals. Both teams bring in
high powered passing games. The biggest difference may be the two teams’ ability
to protect their quarterbacks. The Bengals offense gave up a league-leading 55
sacks in 2021, the Rams gave up 31. Both teams were able to pressure opposing
quarterbacks. The Rams had 50 sacks and the Bengals had 42 in the regular season.
THE QUARTERBACKS
Joe Burrow: Burrow won a National Championship at LSU and was the first overall
pick of the 2020 draft by Cincinnati. Burrow led the NFL in completion percentage
(70.3) and his 108.3 quarterback rating was 2nd in the league. Burrow sat out the
last regular-season game after getting banged up in a playoff-clinching victory
against the Chiefs in week 17.
Burrow’s leading receiver is Ja’Marr Chase, who had 1,455 receiving yards (4th in
the NFL) and the offense also features running back Joe Mixon who ran for 1,205
yards (3rd in the NFL). In good company
Matt Stafford: The Rams traded their 2016 first overall pick, Jared Goff, to Detroit Bengals’ Joe

Details to get you through Super Bowl LVI

By Joe Reedy
The Super Bowl between the
Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati
Bengals today at SoFi Stadium in
Inglewood will as usual be the
biggest day of sports broadcast-
ing in the United States. But this
year might be the biggest of them
all since this is the first time the
country’s biggest sporting event is
happening at the same time as the
Winter Olympics, one of the big-
gest events in the world.
Here are some things to know
about the game as well as Super
Bowl-related programming on
other networks:
Which network has this
year’s Super Bowl?
This marks the 20th Super
Bowl broadcast for NBC, which is
second among all networks. CBS

Fox (9) and ABC (7).
Of the seven previous Super
Bowls held in Los Angeles, NBC
has aired four, including the last
one in 1993 when Dallas beat Buf-

first Super Bowl, which was at the
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

HOA HOMEFRONT
Should an association allow volunteer labor?

Q We’re a small asso-
ciation, so even the
idea of boards and direc-
tors is beyond what we
could hope
to have. We
barely had
three vol-
unteers for
the last elec-
tion, and
they’re start-
ing with se-
verely lim-
ited funds
because of
some poor decisions by
boards in the past.
In some cases, home-
owners who’ve been on
the board at times or who
have knowledge of how to
do things take on small
tasks for the HOA. If a
homeowner attempts to
help the HOA with small
tasks but errs, will any
insurance cover that? Is
the homeowner liable?
Should both be covered? If
a homeowner offers to do
something and the board
allows it, is anyone cov-
ered if there’s a problem?
And then there’s work-
ers’ comp. Does the HOA
need workers’ comp for
any volunteer effort by the
homeowners? Does the
homeowner’s own insur-
ance cover that?
