California’s down-ballot races fierce, and costly Los Angeles Times More than $1 billion so far has been poured into California races – but with less than three weeks to go before voting ends, candidates for governor and U.S. Senate haven’t aired a single general-election ad that touts their campaigns. What’s soaking up all the money and attention is the Los Angeles mayoral race, along with sports-betting ballot measures and congressional clashes that could determine the balance of power in Congress. The Los Angeles television market is saturated with ads about the ballot measures and the race between billionaire developer Rick Caruso and Rep. Karen Bass to lead the nation’s secondlargest city. It is already the most expensive candidate
contest in city history, drawing $76 million in spending as of last month. Caruso has outspent Bass by a factor of 10, with nearly all of his spending coming out of his own pocket. Then the race was rocked by recordings of city leaders making racist comments. “It’s definitely sucking all of the air out of the room, and that probably has the effect of freezing everything in place,” said Democratic strategist Paul Mitchell. Mitchell said that the leaked conversation of Latino city and labor leaders – which included derogatory comments about a councilmember’s Black child as well as scheming to preserve and expand Latino political power – could cut both ways.

Cheney says Trump testimony wouldn’t be on live television Bloomberg News WASHINGTON — Donald Trump wouldn’t be permitted to appear live on television before the Jan. 6 committee, which has subpoenaed him to testify on his role in last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Liz Cheney said. “He’s not going to turn this into a circus,”
Cheney, a Wyoming Republican and the committee’s vice chair, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “This is a far too serious set of issues.” The committee issued the subpoena last week, also demanding extensive records of the former president’s communications during the See Cheney, Page A8

SUISUN VALLEY — Olive oil lovers and novice growers alike helped to usher in fall Sunday at Il Fiorello Olive Oil Company during the annual Community Milling Day and Oktoberfest celebration. Rex Barr of Vacaville brought in 1,352 pounds of olives that were close to a record for him. He said he has brought in tons of olives for milling over the past few years. "This was about the same as the second year we did it," Barr said. "Each year is different because you have different amounts of olives." He lives on a hill with around 70 olive trees. Some are Italian olive trees. He said he can tell

Il Fiorello has got a more grassy taste with a little bite to it," he said. Barr said he plans to bottle the milled oil and
sell it with the help of a bottling company in Suisun City. "People love it as a gift but this is going to be too much for us to use ourselves or even for gifts," he said. Anyone with a small number of olives can
bring the ripe olives from those trees to Il Fiorello on Community Milling Day to have them milled into extra virgin olive oil. The olives from Community Milling Day are milled as one batch. The percentage of olives each person contributes to the overall total represents the amount of olive oil each contributor gets to take home. The pulp and pits are reused for mulch at Il Fiorello, or sold to farmers to use as feed for animals, said Ann Sievers, coowner of Il Fiorello Olive Oil Company. There is a per-pound price for milling but there is no minimum requirement. There is a small charge for the containers for the olive oil. The end product will be See Milling, Page A8
Biden reiterates he’s in good health Bloomberg News WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden challenged voters to pick another Democrat if they have concerns about his age, while declaring himself healthy enough for a second term. If a voter concludes “that I’m missing a beat then she should support some other Democrat,” the president said in an interview segment with MSNBC’s
Jonathan Capehart that aired Sunday. “Right now, knock on wood, I don’t want to jinx myself, I’m in good health – all of my, everything physically about me is still functioning well. And mentally, too, so,” said Biden, who turns 80 on Nov. 20. In a portion of the interview that aired Friday, Biden reiterated that he intends to run again and would
