FAIRFIELD — Thousands of Solano County residents are likely to see forced blackouts Sunday as PG&E shuts down power in the face of high winds that are expected to sweep across much of Northern and Central California. PG&E announced plans Friday for expected power outages across dozens of counties, including portions of Solano. It comes as the National Weather Service warns of high fire danger across the region – a red flag warning. The warning is in effect locally from 8 a.m. Sunday until

6 a.m. Tuesday. PG&E’s anticipated outages and the fire danger warning remained in place Saturday. Wind gusts of up to 25 mph are expected Sunday at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, increasing to gusts of up to 39 mph Sunday night, the weather service reports. Wind gusts Monday are projected to reach 39 mph, with gusts decreasing Monday night to 25 mph. City officials in Fairfield announced their own plans Friday to shut off access to three large open spaces through the weekend and beyond due to a high risk of fires. See Power, Page A9

He sleeps on the top bunk, so under his bed is his older brother’s bed, but he understands what his mother meant. She knows where everything is. And sure enough, under his brother’s bed, Ethan’s beat-up old dump truck and jeep are there – along with his collection of basketball trading cards and the toy phone his sister has not discovered is missing, yet.

and again: No version of the Nerf ball has been inducted, making it the Dan Marino, Barry Bonds or Susan Lucci of the toy world. Close, but never the chosen one. Anyway, this year’s ballot has some weaknesses in it, even if you ignore the Nerf snub. There are a couple of obvious slam-dunks (no offense to Nerf hoop), but even they aren’t as strong as some earlier choices. For instance, the best group of the past decade is probably the Class of 2017, with the Wiffle ball, Clue and the paper airplane. All three of those rank higher than any of this year’s nominees. This year, sidewalk chalk is a strong favorite. I don’t think

it existed when I was a kid (at least I didn’t know about it. We just used regular chalk to play tic-tac-toe, design hopscotch boards and make lines to divide bike “lanes” on the road), but sidewalk chalk has been a part of childhood now for decades. Who doesn’t like it? The other favorite is likely bingo. While the Toy Hall of Fame website shows a specific board game of bingo, the nomination is for bingo in general. This is a rare multigenerational choice, as it’s popular among kids (I remember playing it in school to learn letters and numbers, then playing it in middle school Spanish to learn numbers and letters: “Bay ocho . . . Bay ocho”). It remains a staple for seniors. Bingo seems

These rescue groups are good luck for black cats The Washington Post This time of year, Halloween decorations depict black cats, hissing with arched backs and bushy tails. Superstitious people regard black cats as bad luck. Others say they’re simply scary. The image isn’t a good one for injured or abandoned dark-furred kitties. Fortunately, blackcat rescue organizations across the United States work to change these misconceptions and find them forever homes. Tracey Lenac runs Black Cat Holistic Rescue in Los Angeles. She rescued her first black kitten 23 years ago. “I thought she got out of my house, and I asked my neighbors if they’d seen a black cat,” she recalls. So many of her neighbors made negative comments that she began to research people’s attitudes about black cats. “I found that almost everyone had a bad opinion of them,” she says. “I started educating people, introducing them to my kitten so they could see how sweet she was.” L enac star ted her rescue organization in 2015. “I get messages daily from people who’ve found black cats fending for themselves,” she says. “In September, someone called because they found a laundry basket full of kittens in a park.” Lenac provides each

Cat rescuers say it’s unfair that some black cats don’t get adopted because people think they are bad luck or scary. Susanna Finn of Black Cat Rescue, shown with her cat, Olivia, and Finn’s co-workers say the cats are funny, friendly and loving. feline with vet care and a foster home, and then a permanent family. One success story is Buffy, an affectionate and outgoing black cat who came to her with four severely injured paws. “His new mom is a fan of the TV show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” She fell in love with him,” Lenac says. “Now they cuddle together all day.” Across the country, Susanna Finn is assistant director of Black Cat Rescue in Boston. Her organization finds homes for black cats, including a pudgy three-legged cat named Shelly and a skinny, mostly-bald cat named Snoopy. Finn and her co-workers promote black cats as funny, friendly and loving. She adopted her own

cat, Olivia, from the rescue. She has also fostered 37 cats. “I love black cats,” Finn says. “I think they’re beautiful.” But it can be challenging to show their beauty in a photo. “A big part of getting cats adopted is getting their cute faces out there. Black cats blend into the background, so photography takes more work than if a cat has a white or orange face,” she explains. “You should take pictures of black cats in natural light or on a brightly colored cat bed.” In Oregon, black cats find good homes thanks to Leah Lyman, who runs Jagger’s Journey. Lyman rescued her first black cat, Jagger, 16 years ago. As part of her work, she bottle-feeds kittens found soaking wet and filthy, and takes cats that are fleainfested off the streets. “Black cats have amazing personalities,” she says. “People need to open their hearts to them.” Lenac from Black Cat Holistic Rescue agrees.

Sorry deserves consideration if for no other reason than the memorable TV commercials of the 1970s. For now, hold your breath and wait for the election results, which will be announced at 7:30 a.m. Nov. 5. Let’s hope the losers accept the decision with grace. And let’s hope Nerf gets nominated in 2021. Reach Brad Stanhope at bradstanhope@hotmail.com.

FUN FACTS • The Egyptian goddess of protection, Bastet, is often depicted as a black cat. • Sailors used to believe black cats on a ship brought good luck. Fishermen’s wives kept black cats, hoping to ensure a husband’s safe return from sea. • Some theaters have historically kept black cats to bring luck to a performance.

“When you adopt a black cat, you’re creating a change in the world,” she says. “You’re changing people’s attitudes by showing how lovable and beautiful black cats are.”

Solano’s daily Covid-19 case rate rooted in purple tier Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County reported another daily Covid-19 case increase above the red tier threshold. Friday’s update of 37 new cases brings the county’s total to 7,286, the Public Health division reported. The county has to maintain a case rate of below 30.7 to stay in the red, but instead it appears the rate will have been in the purple tier range for a two-week period. Health officials believe that will result in the state sending the county back to the more restrictive

purple tier, which will hit businesses hardest. But the county will not know its fate until Nov. 3. The flip side is that another critical element the state uses to determine its tier assignments, the seven-day positivity testing rate, has held firmly in the red tier even as the cases climbed. Meanwhile the health equity measure, another key element, for the county also has been stable, officials reported. The latest report had the positivity rate at 5.2%, up from 4.9% a day earlier, but still well-rooted in the red tier range. The health equity rate has been basically in the same area.

Woman dies after hit-and-run incident; police seek suspect Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Police are investigating a hit-andrun incident that happened late Thursday and left a woman dead. Dispatchers received calls shortly before 11 p.m. of a woman who was down in the roadway on Cement Hill Road near Laurel Creek Park. Officers responded to the scene and determined the woman had been struck by a vehicle. The woman was transported to a local hospital but died as a result of her injuries.

The Traffic Unit was contacted and has taken over the investigation. The incident is being investigated as a felony hit-and-run case since the driver fled the scene and has yet to be contacted. The victim has been identified as Namie Stewart, 81, of Fairfield. Police ask that the driver involved, or anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about what occurred, call the Fairfield Police Department at 428-7300 and ask to speak with Sgt. Matt Thomas.

A woman died after being struck near Laurel Creek Park in Fairfield, Thursday. Witnesses said they heard screeching tires before impact. The driver fled from the scene.

Moreover, hospitalizations have been on the decline in recent days, with Friday’s count at 17, one fewer than Thursday, the county reported. California’s colorcoded Covid-19 monitoring system designates the purple tier for counties where transmission of the novel coronavirus is considered to be widespread. The red tier is for counties with substantial spread of the virus. The orange tier designates moderate virus transmission, while the yellow tier is reserved for counties where the spread of the virus is deemed to be minimal. Restrictions to slow the spread of the virus

are eased as counties move from purple to red, red to orange and orange to yellow. The number of Covid-related deaths continues to hold at 74, while active cases did decline, from 324 Thursday to 306 Friday. The total number of completed tests was reported at 101,226, an increase of 730. Solano County does not post updated totals on weekends. The next update is scheduled Monday afternoon. Fairfield added seven new cases Friday to take its total to 2,364. ValleSee Covid, Page A4

FAIRFIELD — October marks the 60th anniversary of the Solano County Taxpayers’ Association. It was established as a nonprofit Oct. 17, 1960. One of the co-founders was Richard Brann, of Rio Vista, who served on the county Board of Supervisors from 1972-1988. “We believe that over the past 60 years, the SCTA has given much time and effort to fostering engagement in the political process within the communities it serves and become renowned for its ability to work with a diverse group of people in order to forge solutions to the challenges that face the region,” a statement by group President Michael Nolan said. “We are looking forward to another 60 years supporting and protecting the taxpayers in Solano County as our founding fathers envisioned.” The association was formed to “secure by lawful means greater economy and efficiency in government; to stimulate the public interest in civic affairs; to effect reduction in taxes; and to assist governments of a county region by studying and recommending regional policies directed at the solution of mutual problems that transcend the local jurisdictions.” In addition to attending various government meetings, members also sit on oversight committees and

provide other information to the county taxpayers. Some of the highlights of the group are: n Solano County Taxpayers’ Association members testified in 2007 before the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Board to help improve the board’s understanding and knowledge of Dixon’s efforts to protect water quality. n Members testified in March 2008 before the Little Hoover Commission regarding the report “Clearer Structure, Cleaner Water: Improving Performance and Outcomes at the State Water Board.” n The Solano County Taxpayers’ Association and the California Manufacturers & Technology Association jointly filed a lawsuit in 2014 in Sacramento County Superior Court asserting that the state did not consider economic feasibility in adopting a drinking water standard for hexavalent chromium. The court agreed in 2017 and found that the state had not conducted an economic feasibility analysis of the drinking water standard as is required by law, and saved millions of dollars to citizens throughout the state. n The organization assisted the citizens of Rio Vista in the development of a referendum for wastewater treatment facilities. n The organization’s See Group, Page A5

FAIRFIELD FUNERAL HOME

Pre-Arrangements of Funeral & Cremations

It is with a heavy heart that we must share the loss of Chad Glashoff, 36, of Suisun Valley. A caring young man of many talents, an artist, a sculptor of large metal art, and descendant of a pioneer family, lost his life Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020. Chad was born to a life on the road, with a deep connection to the Suisun Valley and the developing Sculpture Ranch. The natural beauty of the valley inspired Chad and cradled his artwork throughout his life. Chad lived with his father in a variety of living situations throughout his childhood, which were some of his fondest memories. Shacks, trailers and hotels were considered home as a child, a lifestyle Chad embraced. One yarn he loved to recall was living in a shack during an El NiĂąo when it rained for 28 days straight. There was no clothes dryer, clothes were hung on the rafters to dry. They never dried. Animals and livestock were always a huge part of Chadâ€™s life. The ranch collected a menagerie of beasts: Big dogs, llamas, cattle, donkeys, horses and zebra. Chad took it upon himself to create special bonds with specific four-legged friends: a dog named Poe, a calf named Roja. Animals grounded him. Upon graduating from Armijo High School in Fairfield and in pursuit of higher education, Chad attended the California College of the Arts in Oakland/Berkeley. There he networked with masters of various artistic media and was especially drawn to painting, ceramics and sculpture. His favorite artist was Kandinsky, a Russian painter and art theorist.

Upon completing his chosen coursework, Chad immediately joined his father on the road. He became an instant highlight of street shows with his stainless steel abstractions. He loved the adventure, diversity and eccentricities of street shows and art-loving clients. Chad was a natural. But along with chasing art venues throughout the West Coast came the hardships of sleeping in trucks, flat tires, blown engines, road food and porta-potties. Chad embraced the ride. As Chadâ€™s career in sculpting progressed, he became immersed in and influenced by spirituality, creating timeless images of past and present spiritual icons. It was not only a change in style, but mirrored his own personal progression. Chadâ€™s outlook became all about love and searching for the undefined truths of the Universe. Chadâ€™s Earthly loves were his friends in Suisun Valley, art shows, his artist comrades on the road and his animals. One wonders what beauties would have come next. We will always wonder. Chad was a blueeyed shining light, traversing across the Earth on an elevated plateau. â€˜Just passing through.â€™ Sadly, although Chad had many friends and touched so many lives, due to the current pandemic restrictions any event to celebrate Chadâ€™s Life will be private and limited to family and a few invited guests. Arrangements have been entrusted to BryanBraker Funeral Home, 707-425-4697. Friends are encouraged to sign the guest book, leave condolences for the family and/or share a fond memory of Chad at www. bryanbraker.com.

VALLEJO — A man who barricaded himself inside his home during a standoff with police midweek ultimately surrendered and was jailed, police report.

An Operation PEACE officer secured a search warrant and a 22-caliber rifle was seized from Orr’s residence, police report.

Group makes girl’s wish comes true Susan Hiland

VACAVILLE — Aryana Freeman, 10, is a fighter. She was diagnosed in May 2018 with a Stage 4 tumor in her kidney. She had been having belly pains and after some tests the doctors found the mass, which was a rare form of cancer. The family declined an interview request from the Daily Republic but MakeA-Wish Greater Bay Area provided the transcript of an interview its staff conducted this summer when Aryana’s wish was granted. Portions of that interview are included in this report. “We didn’t know what to do because she was really sick, she couldn’t walk. She would just stay in the bed. It scared all of us, especially my husband because his cousin had passed away from cancer at the same Oakland Children’s Hospital (where they took Aryana) not too long before we found out she had it,” her mother, Melissa Freeman, said in a transcript from the Makea-Wish Foundation. Aryana stayed in the hospital and was bedridden for six months. She was released in time for Thanksgiving. “That Thanksgiving was a big Thanksgiving for us,” her mom said in the transcripts. “We had a lot to be thankful and grateful for.” Aryana’s family came for her birthday as a surprise but she surprised them by getting up and walking. “She was walking with her walker. She stood up, walked to me, and it was

I couldn’t believe,” Melissa Freeman said in the transcripts. “I am seeing my baby walk because she could not while she normally just stayed in the bed.” It was then her mother dubbed her a little warrior kiddo. She eventually came home and returned to school. But things were still tough. She was selfconscious because her hair was gone, but it grew in eventually. At one point the social worker at Oakland Children’s Hospital told Aryana about Make-AWish. She could wish for anything she wanted. Her family thought she would want a trip, but that

wasn’t it. She wanted a kitty. She even had a name picked out: Lily. It didn’t happen immediately because Aryana’s immune system was compromised from the treatment and she needed to have a strong system for introducing a new element like a cat into the equation. She waited 15 months before her family got the kitten in August. “We had picked up Lily; it was perfect and awesome,” Melissa Freeman said in the transcript. “When she came home we were like, ‘Everyone put her down.’ We were holding her like she was a newborn baby.” See Girl, Page A7

Work continues on Habitat Rio Vista build for veterans Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

RIO VISTA — Construction continues on the Rio Vista Veterans’ Residence despite Covid-19 restrictions and regional wildfires. The framing, plumbing, walls, siding and roofing is complete. Next steps are the electrical work, insulation, sheetrock and finally, all the interior finishing work and the exterior landscaping. Solano-Napa Habitat for Humanity is partnering with the American Legion Post 178, Berkeley Food & Housing Project, Solano County and the city

of Rio Vista for the build. The project will provide a six-bedroom, three-bath home for six veterans in Solano County. It will provide a permanent home for screened veterans to ensure their compatibility for a group living situation, according to a project update. Many veterans struggle when living in isolation, but instead thrive on the companionship of housemates and shared housing is a viable option for veterans on an extremely low income. The project is being built next to the American Legion building and

will serve as a prototype for potential similar builds elsewhere in the county. A virtual ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony are being planned. Ground was broken for the project Aug. 2, 2019. The foundation was poured and the first walls raised in February. Habitat for Humanity and Community Action North Bay dedicated a six-bedroom, three-bath home in Dixon on Aug. 24, 2019. The project houses six veterans. For project updates, and ways to help, visit https://solanonapahabitat. org/contribute.

Girl From Page A6 The impact that cat made in the lives of the Freeman family was enormous. “Seeing Lily is just a reminder that all things are possible; anything can happen. You just have that faith and keep pushing, do what you can do, and you guys made that wish come true for her,” Melissa Freeman said in

the transcript. Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area CEO Betsy Biern said in an interview that she has the best job. “We get to create happy stories,” she said. “From getting kittens or puppies to backyard playsets.” Make-A-Wish is always looking for something magical to do for children. They have had to get creative to fulfill wishes due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. “For Aryana we had to wait on her immune

system,” Biern said. “We worked with the rescue for this adoption.” Other children who want a trip somewhere will have to wait until the pandemic’s restrictions lift. “We hate making the kids wait,” Biern said. In the meantime, they are looking for ways to make children happy and are always in need of donations to make that happen.

So we support risk-taking, not recklessness.” Newsom also signed two other financial protection measures, one that requires debt collectors to be licensed beginning in 2022 and the other creating a Student Loan Borrower Bill of Rights. Although the new state law is said to mirror the Dodd-Frank law, it contains at least one significant difference. When federal regulators levy fines for what they consider to be bad conduct, the money goes into the federal treasury. When state regulators impose their fines of up to $1 million a day, the money will be retained by the new agency to finance more activity. Will that give the new agency a financial incentive to skip over minor consumer

services via the internet without maintaining physical offices. Fintechs, many of them based in the San Francisco Bay Area, have blossomed in recent years as part of the digital economy, competing with traditional brick-and-mortar banks. Their disruptive nature is not unlike the challenge that technology-based ride services such as Uber and Lyft pose to taxicabs and buses. Late-blooming changes in AB 1864 exempted traditional financial firms that are already regulated, such as banks and credit unions, from the new consumer protection law, leading some analysts to conclude that its unstated aim is to help them stave off competition from new kids on the financial block. The vagueness of the new law was encapsulated in what Gov. Gavin Newsom said during a signing ceremony. The new law and the new department, he

Significantly too, the new investigative and regulatory mechanism contained in AB 1864 specifically does not usurp the authority of the attorney general to also target companies under the state’s equally vague “unfair competition” law. From its inception a decade ago, Dodd-Frank has attracted criticism from business executives for regulatory overkill. Will California’s new version be less controversial? We won’t know until the new agency puts some definitional meat on its bones.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vote Joan Gaut for School Board I whole-heartedly endorse the re-election of Joan Gaut for the Fairfield-Suisun School Board, Trustee Area 2. As the incumbent, Joan is familiar with the challenges created by Covid-19. Her background as a retired teacher and former teachers union representative and her thorough knowledge of operations at the district level make her highly suited to tackle important issues. Also, with her background as a school nurse, she brings experience in the medical field that is advantageous during this pandemic. I taught with Joan and have known her for many years. She is passionate about our students’ education. I urge you to help re-elect Joan Gaut. Jane Loveall Fairfield

Smoke or fire? Truth or consequences. We have all heard the phase. What it means with this election is yet to be seen. The Democrat Socialists Progressive Peoples Party calls President Donald Trump the worst we have ever had. Why? For the unforgivable temerity of beating her highness Queen Hillary, the first of her name. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist the “Game of Thrones” reference.) Yes, he replaced the “The One” Barack Hussein Obama II and his partner Joe Biden, whose eight years were distinguished by telling We the People how spoiled, under-taxed, homophobic, greedy, racist, who didn’t build anything by ourselves stealing everything we ever had from other people while bitterly clinging to our Bibles, our

Christian God and our guns. All while being treated to the longest recession in American history. Yes, “Trump bad” is the mantra. He collaborated with Russia, China and God knows who else. Except he didn’t do any of this, as has been proven. The DSPPP and friends assert he hates homosexuals, Jews, military veterans, active-duty personnel, etc. He is greedy, corrupt, has too much money, doesn’t have money at all, he tweets and challenges the orthodoxy of the so-called mainstream media mafia and their lapdog pandering politicians. Awful man, right? President Trump accomplished things Hillary, President Obama, candidate Biden and other swamp dwellers claimed couldn’t be done. He revived our economy to new heights, rebuilt our military, made NATO allies pay what they’ve owed, increased border security, brought back more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs. He donates his annual $400,000 salary to charity while he and his family suffer countless insults and lies. Let’s see if Joe Biden, et al., can stand up under real scrutiny for alleged wrongdoing where there is actual written proof. Tell the truth, Joe, or suffer the consequences. Remember in November who really did what. Jim McCully Vacaville

Our democracy under threat I believe we are witnessing an attempt to dismantle and destroy U.S. democracy. Donald Trump is now

openly stating that if he doesn’t win the election he will challenge the result. He will not commit to leaving the White House if he loses, equating a loss with a “rigged election.” He is doing everything he can to undermine voter confidence in the integrity of the election. He claims that mail in-ballots are subject to fraud, despite being an absentee voter himself. (It should be noted that an FBI investigation found no evidence of coordinated mail-in ballot fraud.) Voters are beginning to think their vote will count only if they go in person to their polling place. In the middle of a deadly pandemic, it is unconscionable to force people to choose between their health and their right to vote. Republicans currently in Congress are complicit in all of this. They intend to take power in the upcoming election and hold onto it. If this happens, we will witness the beginning of a one-party system that allows no future challengers. Democracy will be dead in America. If the end of democracy is indeed imminent,

it will be partly the fault of the American people for not standing up now and saying no to Donald Trump and the current crop of Republicans in Congress.

Sharp for Board of Education Our family has been in business in Fairfield for nearly six decades, and as longtime Green Valley residents, we’re excited to support Amy Sharp for re-election to the Solano County Board of Education. We use the word, ‘excited,’ because with Amy, we have a strong leader who went to the board and did exactly

what she said she’d do. She said she’d push for transparency, and she did. From making sure meeting records are accessible to monitoring spending and the budget, she brought real change. She said she’d be an advocate for special education students, and she has been. She pushed until there was an established coordinator in place to make sure these students and their families will be received in the classrooms with plans and equipment in place. Finally, she said she’d fight for programs that create new opportunities for underserved kids, and she delivered. Amy has been an advocate for children as long as we’ve known her going back nearly 25 years. That we have a tried and true advocate for young people, who is passionate and unafraid to challenge the status quo, will continue to benefit our community for a generation. This is not just an easy vote, it’s one we get to make with pride. Please join us in returning Amy Sharp to the post she was meant to hold. Debra and Anthony Russo Fairfield

CHP investigates man’s death along highway FAIRFIELD — Authorities are investigating the death of a man early Saturday along Interstate 680 between Fairfield and Benicia. Preliminary information indicates the man was found unconscious shortly before 3:50 a.m. inside a vehicle in the area of the Parish Road off-ramp. Additional information was not immediately available.

Power From Page One Closures were issued Friday for Rockville Hills Regional Park as well as the Serpas Ranch and Spyglass open spaces starting at 5 p.m. Saturday. The closures remain in effect through 6 a.m. Tuesday. The closures – as well as PG&E’s anticipated blackouts – were prompted by weather conditions that pose increased fire danger. That includes dry conditions, low humidity and high winds. Solano County is one of 38 counties that Pacific Gas & Electric Company has announced may face forced power outages Sunday to limit the threat of wildfires. The utility reports that such blackouts

are likely to occur. A total of 1,602 customers, 96 medical baseline customers, are in the shutoff area in Solano County, PG&E reports. All but a handful are in the unincorporated area in the northwest and western areas of the county. Power shutof f would occur between 4 and 6 p.m. Sunday and continue through approximately 10 p.m. Tuesday, PG&E reports. A total of some 1 million people could be affected. Some customers in two dozen tribal communities may also be affected, the utility reports. Michael Lewis, PG&E’s interim president, said in a prepared statement Friday that initial forecasts by the utility indicate this could be the company’s largest forced power outage so far this year.

Jupitus said the early results show that materials that may not have been returned are being returned, and with the addition of an auto-renewal system for materials for which others are not waiting, fewer returns are logged in as late. The libraries are not the only county department that is working in those directions, and in fact, a Community Action for Race Equity team has been formed to push the agenda forward. It includes the libraries, Health and Social Services, First 5 Solano and the Probation Department, county officials said. Additionally, the Board of Supervisors has dedicated $150,000 for a newly formed committee, comprised of Supervisors Erin Hannigan and John Vasquez, to further the efforts within and outside the county walls. Hannigan brought the matter to the board. The funds come out of an existing administration fund. “My goal for the equity committee is twofold,” Hannigan said in a phone interview. First is “to address equity and diversity within the county departments and every role . . . and to look at our hiring practices, and are they fair to everyone who wants to apply,” she said. She also wants to see the top level of the government reflect the makeup of the county. “I am not talking about a quota system, but we have to be cognizant of who we are hiring and who we are promoting,” Hannigan said. The second goal of the committee, she had hoped, would be looking at how services are delivered and whether any of those practices are inherently unfair to any population or community in the county.

meeting, the supervisors heard a number of criticisms of the county’s hiring and promotion practices. However, information obtained through a California Public Records Act request and provided by the County Counsel’s Office shows those criticisms have not often resulted in lawsuits or official complaints. Gerald Huber, the director of the Department of Health and Human Services, emphasizes that the recently completed draft of the 2019-22 Solano County Three-Year Racial Equity Plan developed within his department is “more of a framework for discussion that has not been fully vetted by the county as a whole.” The plan stresses the use of evidence-based practices to target specific goals and outcomes. Evidence-based practices are those with a verifiable result, as opposed to, in some cases, lo n g- h eld practices that have a perception of success but lack authentication. One of the areas that has shown great promise is when a child taken from a parent, for whatever reason, is placed with other members of the family rather than a foster parent, even when the first-look review would suggest that child would have more advantages in that placement. But that connection to family has shown to be critical, and with better outcomes than other placements, said Aaron Crutison, Health and Social Services deputy director in charge of Child Welfare. The report shows clear areas of need in Solano County, and those do not stray far from the socio-economic boundaries – even more so than in other Bay Area counties. “Solano’s racial and ethnic diversity does not equate to better health and socio-economic outcomes for communities of color,” the draft report states. Sandra Sinz, the Health and Social Services

deputy director in charge of the Behavioral Health, said in many cases it is just a matter of access. But in other cases, there are cultural or community stigmas to overcome. Hispanic and Filipino residents are less likely to avail themselves of mental health services, she said, which is also true among the LGBTQ community. That cultural or community resistance shows up in other areas. In a recent report given to the Fairfield City Council that included crimes against women, Rochelle Sherlock, a co-founder of the Solano Commission for Women and Girls, said domestic violence is not reported among the Filipino community with the same frequency as other cultures. Moreover, county health officials said the system has often “criminalized poverty,” and that has resulted in disproportionately low outcomes in health, economic success and other basic areas of society, including basic nutritional needs. “The Bay Area Equity Atlas indicates that huge median income earnings disparities are occurring in Solano County. For example, in 2015 Latinx and Native American workers had median incomes nearly $15,000 less than White/ Caucasian workers,” the Racial Equity report states. The report further states, citing the Equity Atlas, “In an equitable economy, all workers would earn a living wage, and earnings would not vary systematically by race and gender. Low wages and pay gaps by race and gender undermine workers and their communities while reducing local spending and tax revenue.” Still, it is impossible to address the interlinked issues of diversity, equity and inclusion without asking one relevant question. “Do we reflect the people (who) we are ser ving?” Crutison asks. The reference is

to the makeup of the county workforce. Huber emphasized that the Race Equity Plan was not intended to, nor does it address county hiring, promotion and disciplinary practices. Crutison said staff can, and are, being trained on how to relate better to various communities by breaking down “implied biases” that often get in the way. One troubling example is the perception, even among the African American community, that Blacks are inherently more violent. A bruise on a white child is often viewed differently than a bruise on a Black child, and the county receives a disproportionate number of reports of possible abuse against Black residents. So Crutison said there is a value to having cultural connections, though he is clear to emphasize that does not mean one culture cannot “speak across to another.” “And this is applicable to the African American, Latinx to Asian-Americans,” Crutison said. Anika Johnson, a literacy program assistant and one of the first library staffers to get involved in equity issues, said she has already seen positives. She said part of the effort is to include training so workers can better understand and, at least to a degree, better identify with their co-workers’ cultural backgrounds. “What surprised me is how open people have been to talk about this. We don’t all agree because we come from different (backgrounds) . . . but I think it has been very helpful because I even have seen staff who are not on the (CARE) committee who are thinking about diversity,” Johnson said. She said she hopes that will attract a greater diversity of employee candidates, and she thinks it will help retention. Both would serve the goal of workforce diversity.

Giants’ rotation needs rebuild for 2021 Tribune Content Agency The Giants appear set at many positions across the diamond, and they’ve got a slew of young relievers who could help fill out a bullpen. When it comes to the rotation – rather, rebuilding the rotation – that’s where Farhan Zaidi will earn his salary. Little is left over from the Giants’ 2020 season with Kevin Gausman, Drew Smyly, Jeff Samardzija and Trevor Cahill eligible for

free agency. The only starters under team control for 2021 are Johnny Cueto, Tyler Anderson and Logan Webb, along with Tyler Beede, who’s coming off Tommy John surgery. That’s close to the bare minimum, and Zaidi, the Giants’ president of baseball operations, probably won’t get help from the farm system because top pitching prospects Sean Hjelle and Seth Corry don’t appear to be ready for

the big leagues. 2020 review: Cueto and Samardzija were supposed to lead the rotation, but Cueto posted the highest ERA (5.40) among National League qualifiers, and it was an unacceptable 6.40 over his final six starts. Samardzija made just four starts because of a shoulder injury and had a 9.72 ERA. Thank goodness for Gausman, the most reliable starter who posted a 3.62 ERA in 10 starts

(75 Ks, 54 2/3 innings) and also relieved twice. Gausman’s fastball and splitter made him well worth his one-year, $9 million deal. Smyly, the other starter signed by Zaidi last winter ($4 million), was valuable with his fastball-curve combination, averaging 14.4 strikeouts per nine innings. But he made just five starts because of a finger injury. Anderson, who had a 4.37 ERA and pitched the Giants’ lone complete game, is eligible for arbi-

tration, and it would make sense to tender him if only because the Giants are short of bodies and experienced arms. Webb has a long way to go after a rough rookie season (5.47 ERA, 24 walks in 54 1/3 innings). Cahill, a swingman, made six starts (4.05 ERA) and then transitioned to the bullpen for five relief appearances (0.00). Beede isn’t expected to open the season in the majors after his reconstructive elbow

surgery in March. Rising prospects: Hjelle and Corry lost key development time in 2020 especially because they didn’t participate at the club’s alternate site in Sacramento. The Giants preferred to include their top hitting prospects, figuring it would be easier for their top pitching prospects to train on their own.

Two unbeaten Vanden squads sit atop list of city’s biggest winners Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

In putting together the weekly series of city high school top 10 lists, there have been frequent ties making some categories a “top 11.” Thanks to a six-way tie for 10th, it’s a top 15 when it comes to making a list of winningest individual teams. Vanden appears the most with eight spots on the list – four of them coached by Rich Woods – with Fairfield next with five and Rodriguez third with two. Armijo has never won more than eight games in a season, going 8-0-1 in 1936, 8-1 in 1972 and 8-2 in 2004. Through the years, Vanden has had seven 8-win seasons, Fairfield two and Rodriguez none. And as a commentary on the city’s recent prep football struggles, the most recent teams on the list are from 2009. Here’s a look at the winningest teams in city history with ties listed in chronological order:

1. Vanden, 1995 — 13-0 It’s no accident the 1995 Vikings,

coached by Woods, sit atop the list as the city’s top winner. They set city records for most points scored (538) and points per game (41.4), ranking second in total yards (5,087), third in rushing yards (3,924), eighth in rushing yards per game (301.8) and 10th in total yards per game (391.3). Halfback Pat Haines set what were then city records for most rushing yards (1,904), most touchdowns (30) and most points (180). Then there was the defense, which gave up the fewest points per game (7.4) and second-fewest total points (96) in years with a 10-game regular season, the second-fewest total yards per game (171.9) and the fourth-fewest rushing yards (1,128). The Vikings recorded five shutouts, including three straight, and gave up more than 14 points in a game just once. They intercepted 29 passes while allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete just 37.8 percent of their passes. And special teams? Kicker Sean Jensen booted 61 extra points. That season Vanden, whose narrowest margin of victory was 15 points (29-14 over John Swett) won

its first Superior California Athletic League title in nine years and third Sac-Joaquin Section championship. Other city teams may claim they played a tougher schedule, but none dominated the way the 1995 Vikings did – in all phases of the game.

2. Vanden, 1984 — 12-0 The 1984 Vikings foreshadowed their 1995 counterparts in many ways. Like Woods, Ron Beverly Sr. was in his third year as head coach, each starting off with a losing season, making the playoffs in their second campaign and going undefeated while winning SCAL and section championships in their third. They each set school records for points in a season, the 1984 squad amassing 301 to top the old mark of 245 in 1977. Like Haines, running back Bryan Batchan broke the city record when he rushed for 1,539 yards and quarterback Ron Beverly Jr. went on to play both football and baseball in college (UOP) as did his 1995 counterpart, Chris Jessop (Air Force).

Five ways the rogue Raiders can beat Tampa Bay and Tom Brady Jerry McDonald MERCURY NEWS

he Raiders have been swatted on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. We’ll see what kind of dog they’ll be in the fight Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Allegiant Stadium. Anyone else think it was a little unusual that instead of having their game delayed because of Covid-19 concerns, as has happened in with other teams, the Raiders instead will play on the same day more than four

ANALYSIS hours earlier? Raiders fans love a good conspiracy, but good luck trying to prove it this time. After accruing more than $500,000 in team and individual fines stemming from violations regarding coronavirus protocols, the Raiders didn’t exactly get the beneift of the doubt when their entire offensive line and safety Johnathan Abram went on the Covid-19 reserve list this week. Tackle Trent Brown, who tested positive for the virus, reportedly without

symptoms, won’t play. Neither will Abram, who was in contact with Brown Tuesday and couldn’t get in five days of negative tests during his quarantine period before kickoff. Four other linemen – left tackle Kolton Miller, left guard Denzelle Good, center Rodney Hudson and right guard Gabe Jackson – could be cleared to play although they haven’t practiced other than a light session Monday. Both the NFL Network and ESPN reported no new positive tests from the Raiders Friday,

meaning the linemen could be removed from the Covid-19 reserve list Saturday with the final all-clear coming Sunday morning. Raiders coach Jon Gruden seemed optomistic Friday he’d get those linemen back after a week of “virtual” practice. He’ll need them to have a chance at beating the Buccaneers, who are 4-2 and coming off a 38-10 destruction of previously unbeaten Green Bay.

L iam Hendr iks’ season, which began with a blown save on Opening Night, reached its peak Saturday when he was named the American League Reliever of the Year. Hendriks is the first A’s pitcher to win the award, which was established in 2014 and bears the name of Mariano Rivera. Three A’s won the award when it was known as the Rolaids Relief Award: Dennis Eckersley (twice), Billy Koch and Keith Foulke. “Honored is an understatement,” Hendriks said in a statement released by the team. “It’s humbling to win an award that bears the name of the greatest closer in history.” Rivera was part of a seven-member selection committee that included Eckersely, Rollie Fingers,Trevor Hoffman, Lee Smith, John Franco and Billy Wagner. Hendriks’ blown save on Opening Night – he gave up a game-tying home run to Jason Castro of the Los Angeles Angels – was his only failure of the year. He went 14-for-15 in save opportunities, compiling a 1.78 ERA with 37 strikeouts in 24 appearances over 25 1/2 innings. He gave up just that one home run.

Hendriks is a free agent and, although both he and the A’s have expressed interest in him returning, that is unlikely. In his statement Saturday, Hendriks thanked everyone – his teammates, his coaches, the A’s organization, even the relievers with whom he has shared a bullpen over the years. “Finally, to A’s fans everywhere, I’ve had the privilege to represent you since I arrived here five years ago,” Hendriks said. “And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” See Hendriks, Page A13

49ers and Patriots: Coaches share mutual respect and a history with Jimmy Garoppolo Tribune Content Agency SANTA CLARA — The 49ers and Patriots don’t have a whole lot in common when it comes to the way the two football teams operate, their fan bases or even their climates. “We’d be here for a while if I told you all the differences,” 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo said this week. Garoppolo, of course, is a protagonist in New England’s longstanding melodrama, even while he plays his home games more than 3,000 miles away. The prodigal son once destined to replace Tom Brady is now with San Francisco, and Sunday is heading back to play against the team that drafted him – that might secretly wish he was still there. The debate as to whether Garoppolo was pushed out per Tom Brady’s request remains. Though no matter how it’s

sliced, it’s hard to argue over the Patriots going to two Super Bowls since Garoppolo was shipped to the Bay Area for a secondround draft pick midway through the 2017 season. But with all the differences between the 49ers and Bill Belichick’s team, once constant remains: a high level of respect between the two franchises, which might be a reason why Garoppolo was sent to the 49ers in the first place, while Belichick reportedly turned down a better offer from the Cleveland Browns. The reasoning? That depends on whom you ask. Some would say Belichick wanted Garoppolo as far away from the Patriots as possible, both literally and figuratively. By sending Garoppolo to the 49ers of the NFC, Belichick would never have to play him in the AFC playoffs. And geographically, only See Coaches, Page A11

Coaches: Pats couldn’t afford to keep both Garoppolo, Brady From Page A10 a few of teams are further from Foxborough than San Francisco. Others say Belichick wanted to send Garoppolo to a head coach that could help him flourish and maximize his potential. Belichick and Kyle Shanahan seem to be cut from the same cloth when it comes to coaching chops. When asked about that on a conference call with Bay Area reporters this week, Belichick didn’t stray from his brand as a notoriously tight-lipped football guy hiding warmtime secrets. “We have good relationships with a lot of teams. We’ve traded with practically everybody in the league. So, I don’t know,” Belichick said. Then, surprisingly, he opened up just a little bit. “Out of respect for Kyle and his dad,” Belichick continued, “I go all the way back with Mike and now him and his family there in the league for a long time, I have great respect for him. (49ers general manager John Lynch), I coached John. So, I feel like I have good relationships with everybody out there so, you know, a lot of teams in the league that we deal with too. So, I mean, I don’t know.” n n n Shanahan and Belichick have formed a bond as coaches, starting with their encounter in the Super Bowl LI when Shanahan, serving as the Falcons’ offensive coordinator, played a role in his team infamously blowing a 28-3 thirdquarter lead, just days before he would officially become the head coach of the 49ers. Belichick reached out to Shanahan after the game and the two got to talking, sharing football thoughts. Their conver-

And when they were rebuked, they even had the gall to ask about Brady on the heels of one of his great Super Bowl triumphs. Then, just before the 2017 trade deadline, the topic was brought up again. This time by Belichick, who couldn’t afford to keep both Garoppolo, a looming free agent, and Brady. So he offered Garoppolo for a secondround pick and the deal was executed quickly. For the 49ers, it came hours after an embarrassing loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who thumped San Francisco,

33-10, in a game riddled with injuries. Shanahan’s team fell to 0-8. T hen Garoppolo arrived, offering the 49ers their best chance at a franchise quarterback since Colin Kaepernick was at the peak of his powers in 2013. n n n Garoppolo’s 49ers tenure since then has been a roller coaster. He got off to an extremely fast start, going 5-0 in his first five games under center, before signing his five-year, $137.5 million contract the following February. Since then, he suffered an earlyseason ACL tear, went to the Super Bowl in his first season as a starter, and now is the center of weekly conversations about his viability as San Francis-

co’s next signal caller to raise a Lombardi Trophy. One thing Garoppolo was quick to do this week was credit Belichick and the Patriots for helping him become the player he is today. Coming out of Eastern Illinois as the No. 62 pick, he had NFL promise, but didn’t have NFL skills. “We liked him, his personal characteristics, his intelligence, his toughness, his work ethic, his playing skill,” Belichick said. “He came from a situation where we thought that he would need some development.” Then, in another rare moment, Belichick opened up. “He worked very hard, worked very hard to improve, particularly playing under center,” Belichick continued. “Dropping back under center, his mechanics and (turning) his back on the defense and things like that you don’t do when you’re in the shotgun all the time like basically he was in college. And obviously reading coverages and seeing things at this level are a lot different than (everybody) out of college. “But he handled that well, he showed a lot of toughness and leadership and the opportunities that he got to play for us, and practice, when Tom wasn’t able to practice, sometimes during the week, he would step in there and did things at a very high level. Everybody here had a lot of confidence in him and it’s one of those situations where he just – you’re not able to keep all the players based on the system that is set up.” Garoppolo was regularly lauded for his work on the practice field in New England, which was reportedly something that made Brady uncomfortable. And, eventually,

‘We liked him, his personal characteristics, his intelligence, his toughness, his work ethic, his playing skill.’ — Bill Belichick on Jimmy Garoppolo

the threat of Garoppolo was alleviated by the trade to San Francisco, which remains a hotly debated topic in New England. For Ga r oppolo, however, things have worked out, whether half the 49ers fan base want him replaced or not. For that, he was quick to thank the coach who drafted him, who reportedly keeps in contact with Garoppolo and checks in on his family. “Coach being my first coach in the NFL, he was just very honest,” Garoppolo said this week. “Really never beat around the bush. He was very black and white with everything that he did and that’s kind of how I am. I really appreciated that from him. Just whether it was my first day there or when I got traded, he always shot me straight. I think just when you’re talking about just man to man, that’s all you can really ask for at the end of the day.” Said Belichick: “I’m glad that it’s worked out for him in San Francisco. I hope it doesn’t work out on Sunday. But otherwise, happy that he had the opportunity to play for a great coach, and a great organization, and play on a great team. I think he deserves that. He certainly worked hard and earned it and (I’m) happy for him and his family.”

n n n That aligns with what Shanahan appreciates about the six-time Super Bowl winner. The Patriots have done the impossible by maintaining a dynasty in a league built on parity. Whenever Belichick retires, part of his legacy will be winning six Super Bowls (and counting?) in an era designed for competitive balance. No one has turned over rosters, manipulated the salary cap and adapted to the game’s changes like Belichick. Surely that’s something Shanahan would like to emulate. “I just love his attention to detail. I love that he’s not a BS-er,” Shanahan said. “He is a very smart person who looks at football very hard in all three phases and tries to do what’s best from a common-sense standpoint and from his experience with teaching people. “I love that he’s not going to sit there and try to make up some rah-rah story to get guys to go. He’s just going to keep it real, hold guys accountable and I think he has the experience and the preparation in what he’s done to be one of the most knowledgeable guys to ever coach in this game. His consistency has to do with him just being himself, which he seems like all the time. I think his players really respect him for it because he obviously knows what he’s talking about.” Those are all traits Shanahan has tried to put in practice himself. In a way, Belichick is a mentor figure to Shanahan. Some believe Shanahan has a chance to become one of the best head coaches in his era, like Belichick. Both coaches know this and respect each other in a way not all coaches do, which should make Sunday’s game all the more interesting.

Winners: Mustangs won Sac-Joaquin Section title in 2007 From Page A10 1985 and 1996 both lost in the second games of their respective seasons. The biggest differences between the city’s only two undefeated, untied teams – Armijo had four undefeated teams in the 1930s, but each had at least one tie – is that the 1984 squad spent much of the season walking a tight rope. Five of its 12 victories, including its 20-14 win over Hilmar in the SJS Class A title game, were by eight points or less. Yet it got the job done on both offense and defense. It still ranks 10th in rushing yards (2,576) in Vanden history and Beverly was the city’s all-time passing yards leader until having his record broken by Fairfield’s Jared Biggs a dozen years later. The Vikings allowed just 1,175 yards rushing and 2,193 total yards all season, ranking sixth in both categories in school history. In a 29-0 win over John Swett, Vanden held the Indians to minus-47 yards rushing and minus-8 total yards. In one more odd coincidence, Ron Beverly Sr.’s Solano Community College football team edged Foothill 51-50 in the Santa Cruz Lions Bowl for the Falcons’ first bowl victory in school history on Dec. 2, 1995 – the same day Vanden defeated Bear River to complete its 13-0 season.

3 (tie). Fairfield, 1991 — 11-3 Of the three 11-win teams in city history, two were turned in by Fairfield 10 years apart, both tying for the Monticello Empire League championship and both losing to Elk Grove in the SJS Division I title game at UOP. The 1991 season was

a tale of two halves, the best start in school history with wins in their first six games, followed by gut-wrenching losses to Napa (14-7) and Vacaville (15-13) and then five straight wins, including three in the playoffs, one of them over MEL rival Vallejo, to reach the SJS title game. Fairfield, coached by Jim Sykes, finished in a four-way tie with Napa, Hogan and Vallejo for the MEL championship, but because one of its losses – to Vacaville – was outside the four-way tie and the other co-champs lost twice within the tie, the Falcons had the league’s top seeding heading into the playoffs. Got that? The Falcons did it mostly with defense, giving up just 91 points in the regular season and 158 overall, an average of 11.3 per game, and second-best in school history. The unit was led by defensive end Reggie Jordan, the MEL Player of the Year, and linebacker Dan Corpstein, MEL Lineman of the Year. The offense did just enough to get the job done, averaging 22.6 points per game. Halfback Jimmy Phillips, the team’s leading rusher, needed all 14 games to get to 1,000 yards (1,072). Brandon Myers, pressed into service at quarterback as his jersey number (30) attests, completed 33.6 percent of his passes (37 of 110) and he threw for 738 yards, 52.7 per game, and eight touchdowns. Robert Green, the team’s leading receiver, had 15 catches, 1.1 per game, for 254 yards and one TD. Not great numbers, but enough to win and get to the SJS title game, which they lost 20-6 to the Thundering Herd.

3. (tie). Fairfield, 2001 — 11-3 Fairfield’s 2001 squad, the other Falcons team to reach an SJS championship game, had a much more potent offense and was also solid defensively. In the same number of games played, it scored 92 more points while giving up 35 more, averaging 29.2 points per game, while surrendering 13.8. The team appeared destined for anything but greatness, however, with a dismal turnout the first day of practice and getting off to an 0-2 start with disappointing home losses to Valley of Sacramento (9-7) and Vallejo (24-7). But 2001 was the second and final year the MEL had 10 schools and thus a ninegame league campaign. The Falcons, coached by Randy Hood, had plenty of time to right the ship and did so immediately, rattling off a school-record 11 game winning streak with no opponent finishing closer than 12 points until a 19-14 road victory over Lincoln of Stockton in the SJS semifinals. The team pitched no shutouts, but in five games it gave up seven points and 14 in four others. Fairfield had arguably its most talented backfield in school history, with fullback Desmond Bishop (1,632 yards, 22 TDs), halfback Quinton Ganther (951 yards, 10 TDs), both of whom played in the NFL, and Demario Warren (870 yards, 8 TDs), currently the head coach at Southern Utah, ranking first, third and fifth, respectively among the Falcons’ all-time rushing leaders. Not surprisingly, Fairfield amassed 14 100-yard rushing games on the season. Bishop was named MEL Player of the Year

and Charles Wilson MEL Lineman of the Year as the Falcons tied Vallejo for the league title, but because the Apaches won their game in Week 2, the red, white and black had to play their first and third playoff games on the road before losing 34-12 to Elk Grove in the title game.

3 (tie). Rodriguez, 2007 — 11-2 With one of the most talented rosters in city history, it’s no surprise the 2007 Mustangs won a Sac-Joaquin Section title – 42-13 over Solano County Athletic Conference rival Bethel of Vallejo. Rather, the surprise is that they lost any games at all. Rodriguez failed to win the SCAC title – that went to Bethel, which upset the Mustangs 34-8 on a drizzly night in October – after having suffered a 30-28 loss at Chico on Sept. 14. Among the players coach David Fishleigh had at his disposal were Jason Verrett, currently starting at cornerback on Sundays for the San Francisco 49ers, Marcel Jensen, who also played briefly in the NFL, Geno Escalante, who was drafted by the San Francisco Giants, and Michael Johnson and Cameron Richmond, who started at wide receiver for UNLV and Idaho State, respectively. Escalante rushed for 1,375 yards and 25 touchdowns, Johnson threw for 1,161 yards and rushed for 697 more while accounting for 21 TDs, and Richmond caught 37 passes for 735 yards and 8 TDs. The Mustangs amassed 463 points, tied for sixthmost in city history, and averaged 35.6 points per game, rolling up 3,129 yards rushing

and 4,652 total yards, to rank 10th and eighth, respectively. As essentially the seventh seeds in the Division III playoffs, the Mustangs knocked off 10-0 Casa Roble (29-7) and 10-1 Inderkum (30-20), both on the road, before avenging their earlier loss to 11-1 Bethel with a 42-13 triumph in the SJS title game at Oakmont of Roseville.

6 (tie). Vanden, 1975 — 10-1 The motto “Offense wins games, defense wins championships” was never more true than with the Vikings in 1975. Their lone defeat was a 22-16 loss to Washington on Nov. 7 in which they surrendered nearly 40 percent of the 56 points they’d give up all year. Vanden’s defensive unit hurled four shutouts including 24-0 over Bret Harte and 36-0 over Mariposa in their two SJS Class A playoff games to capture the first section title in school history and first for the city since Armijo won a Central Section crown in 1936. The play of the defense was crucial as Vanden won close games over Rio Vista (13-7), Delta (19-12), John Swett (10-7) and Dixon (9-6). The lone 100-yard rushing game on record was 135 yards turned in by Mel Byrd in a 21-0 win over Wheatland. Along the way the Vikings won the SCAL title, the first for Vanden and head coach Ed Serpas since 1965.

6 (tie). Fairfield 1988 — 10-2 M a ny lon g t i me Falcon Faithful feel the 1988 team is the best in

school history – and they have a point. That season Fairfield scored 474 points and averaged 39.5 points per game, school records that rank seventh and fifth in city history, respectively. They were nearly as good on defense, allowing just 135 points in the regular season and 925 rushing yards overall. Their only two losses were 45-21 at Lincoln of Stockton in Week 3, and 19-14 to Merced in the SJS Division I quarterfinals, snapping an eight-game winning streak. Fairfield, coached by Jim Sykes, was especially dominant in rolling to the first MEL title in school history, going 7-0 while winning by an average score of 41-5 over league foes. Chad Tigert returned from a season-ending injury in 1987 to rush for 1,171 yards and 18 touchdowns, Mario Ramirez threw for for 1,204 yards and 14 TDs, and Larry Thompson, one of the great offensive weapons in city history, caught 33 passes for 757 yards and 11 touchdowns, adding 11 more TDs in various ways. Not surprisingly, Thompson was named MEL Player of the Year and Woon Park Lineman of the Year.

6. (tie). Vanden, 2001 — 10-2 There’s a simultaneous feeling of wonder and disappointment when looking back at the 2001 Vikings. They were arguably the best offensive squad in city history, setting records for most rushing yards (4,532), rushing yards per game (412.0), total yards (5,474) and total yards per game (456.2), and ranking second in total points (494) and points per game (41.2).

A12 Sunday, October 25, 2020 — DAILY REPUBLIC

Raiders: Need to outplay Bucs, Brady From Page A10 bye, and took their foot off the gas after beating the Kansas City Chiefs, those four linemen will could be one of two things: 1) Extremely fresh; or 2) Unprepared to play with the kind of crispness necessary to improve to 4-2. If you’re of the belief that practice matters, it’s easy to see this one slipping away against Tom Brady and Co. But the Raiders gained a lot of confidence in beating the Chiefs. While Abram will be missed, they’ve grown used to being without Brown, who has missed nine of 21 games (including one three-snap game) since signing before the 2019 season. The most likely candidate to take his place is veteran Sam Young unless other linemen go down, and then it would probably be Brandon Parker. “We played four games without Trent,” Gruden said. “We used four different right tackles, so we’re experienced at adjusting and we’ll have a right tackle that’s prepared and experienced and ready to play.” As for Brown, who reportedly spent time without his mandatory tracking device, wound up with the virus and inadvertently but his teammates in a bad situation, there are no outward hard feelings from Gruden. “I have talked to Trent. He is feeling better and hopefully we get him back soon,” Gruden said. “He’s a big part of this team.” Five ways the Raiders can beat the Bucs and silently thumb their nose at those responsible for stripping their Sunday night game and determining they weren’t worth a one- or two-day delay:

1. Josh Jacobs pierces the Tampa run defense The Buccaneers have given up 386 yards and 22 first downs rushing in six games and just 3.0 yards per carry. No team has gained 100 yards against Tampa Bay, let alone an individual runner. So whatever form the Raiders offensive line takes, they’d better be at the top of their game to deal with a front seven that includes Ndamukong Suh up front and inside linebackers Lavonte David and Devin White as inside linebackers in a 3-4 alignment. The Raiders have also promised to utlize Davontae Booker more often, and ideally he gets seven to 10 carries and 40 yards or more.

2. Derek Carr outplays Tom Brady Carr has played better head-to-head than both Drew Brees and Patrick Mahomes, and don’t sleep on Teddy Bridgewater in the opener either as he’s having a heck of a season. Everyone knows the formula by now for Carr to be at his best – a relatively equal split of running plays to passing plays. And even if the Raiders aren’t getting a ton of yards with those runs, the attempts themselves matter. As for Brady, he’s in the unusual situation of mastering a new system at age 43 and there were times early on where you wondered if maybe he was finally showing his age. Never mind. In the last four games, Brady has 11 touchdown passes, one interception and has completed 63.7 percent of his passes. He’s been sacked only eight times in six games. Those aren’t Jameis Winston numbers.

There are dangerous targets outside in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and it looks like tight end Rob Gronkowski is coming around after a slow start following a one-year retirement. Antonio Brown, fortunately, is a ways off for Tampa Bay after signing Friday.

3. Putting the rush on Brady As good as Brady has been in winning six championships, the teams that have success against him pressure him throughout. The Giants did it two him twice in Super Bowls, and even though he put up huge numbers against the Eagles, it was the pass rush at the end that closed the deal. The only way that happens is to shut down running back Ronald Jones, the NFL’s fifth leading rusher with 492 yards on 97 carries. If that happens, and the Raiders can get after Brady the way they did Mahomes, it’s a game-changer. Mahomes managed to escape trouble although the pressure in the second half reduced his effectiveness. Brady, although nimble in a small area in the pocket and adept at getting rid of the ball, won’t be nearly as difficult to contain in terms of creating plays. Clelin Ferrell, coming off the signature game of his young career, was asked if he’d thought about sacking Brady. “Always. I’ve been thinking about that since I was a little kid,” Ferrell said. “I’ve always been a Tom Brady fan. Just to walk out there and the field, get a look at him as somebody I really want to devour, it’s going to be good. I’m excited.”

4. Getting Henry

Ruggs more than a cameo Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians talked with reverence about the Raiders’ “Big Three” of Jacobs, Darren Waller and rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs III. That’s a lot of respect, considering Ruggs has only eight touches in three games. But he’s caught six passes for 177 yards, and is already well known among defensive coordinators as a touchdown waiting to happen on any snap. You wonder what would happen if the Raiders could get the ball in his hands eight times in a single game. Ruggs should be as ready as he’ll ever be, getting a bye week after torching Kansas City for 118 yards on two receptions, so it’s time to really take the Ferrari out for a spin and see what it can do.

5. Play their cleanest football game of the season Tampa Bay is coming off a game in which it committed no sacks, had no penalties and had zero turnovers. Common sense says they won’t do that again. But what about the Raiders? As promising as their start has been considering the level of competition, we haven’t seen a complete game yet in terms of offense, defense, special teams and execution. If you’re going to beat a team led by Brady, it almost always means making fewer mistakes. Few are better at taking advantage of sloppy football.

Winners: Rodriguez, Vanden played for 2008 SCAC crown From Page A11 disappointing 19-18 Week 2 loss to Roseville by romping over its next nine opponents by an average score of 46-16 before losing 39-15 on the road to Central Catholic in the SJS semifinals. Ironically, had Vanden’s outcome with Roseville been reversed it would’ve hosted CCHS. The city’s most potent offense was led by running backs Marques Cole (1,539 yards and 17 TDs rushing, 22 catches for 489 yards and 9 TDs receiving), Brenton Kendrick (1,376 yards and 15 TDs rushing), Jason Dean (972 yards and 15 TDs rushing) and Kris Battle (942 yards and 13 TDs passing). The Vikings won the Golden Empire League West Division title, the fourth and final league title under Rich Woods.

6. (tie). Vanden, 2009 — 10-2 The 2009 Vikings, coached by LeVon Haynes, are another example of how something that started out so good – a 9-0 record to open the season – could go south in such a hurry. To get the bad out of the way, the Vikings were upset 28-21 by Rodriguez in the regular season finale, a loss that not only dropped them into a tie for the SCAC title, but cost them the league’s best player. Deone Bucannon, who’s still in the NFL, was injured returning a blocked Rodriguez field goal attempt and was lost for the playoffs. That hit home in a 56-14 loss to Oakdale in the SJS quarterfinals two weeks later. What was most stun-

ning about the loss to Rodrigues was that Vanden hadn’t had a close game all season to that point, winning its first nine games by an average of 29 points. Ben Scott turned in the best sophomore season ever by a city quarterback, throwing for 2,174 yards and 27 touchdowns, while Damon Treat rushed for 1,003 yards and 14 touchdowns, and Chris Broadnax caught 43 passes for 1,035 yards and 15 TDs. Bucannon led the defense with 107 tackles, 44 solo, with four sacks and two interceptions.

10. (tie). Fairfield, 1993 — 9-3 How good did the Fairfield coaching staff think its 1993 squad was? It arranged its homeand-home matchup with national power De La Salle of Concord so the better of the two Falcons squads, believed to be the 1993 team, would host the Spartans and thus have a better shot at a victory. Didn’t work out that way. Fairfield trailed by six points heading into the fourth quarter before losing 41-20 in Concord in 1992, and was blown out 53-13 at Schaefer Stadium a year later, losing quarterback Aaron Douville for several games to a leg injury in the process. A 30-26 loss to Vallejo in the MEL opener the following week put the Falcons, coached by Jim Sykes, in second place the entire season and that’s where they finished. The Falcons won their final six regular season games, all in convincing fashion save for a 36-35 eclipsing of Napa

in which Brad Davis, who filled in at QB for Douville until the latter’s return, kicked a 23-yard field goal in the closing seconds to defeat the Indians. Irving Dingle, the MEL Player of the Year, rushed for 1,411 yards and 12 touchdowns, with Cliff Harrison adding 949 yards and 13 TDs, and Chris Butler 918 yards and 9 TDs, a big reason the team had 15 100-yard games. Antonio Harrison was one of the top deep threats in school history, averaging 31.7 yards on his 16 catches with eight touchdowns. One thing the team had trouble doing on occasion was tackling, giving up 23.4 points and 295.8 yards per game. The shortcoming was most evident in a 34-6 quarterfinal loss to Merced.

10. (tie). Vanden, 1996 — 9-3 The 1996 Vikings, coached by Rich Woods, returned Pat Haines, who went on to have the best season by a running back in city history (2,291 yards, 35 TDs), but lost just enough elsewhere to keep them from repeating as SCAL and SJS champions. Their two regular season losses were by a combined 12 points, 21-14 to nemesis Bear River and 22-17 to John Swett. Sam Paler added greatly to the running game, rushing for 1,141 yards and 20 touchdowns as the Vikings averaged 38.6 points and 349.5 yards rushing, ranking sixth and second in city history. But Vanden struggled in the passing game, however, throwing for just 612 yards and four TDs all year. The season ended

with a 32-7 road loss to Hughson in the SJS Division III semifinals.

10. (tie). Vanden, 1997 — 9-2 As w it h t he 2009 Vikings, Vanden’s 1997 team had the year turn sour after a dazzling 9-0 start. After a 35-14 loss to Dixon in the regular season finale, a battle for the SCAL title, a 34-22 first-round loss to Colfax followed to end an otherwise glorious season. T ravelle Gaines rushed for 1,671 yards and 24 touchdowns and the Vikings, coached by Rich Woods, averaged 311.1 yards per game on the ground, fifth-best in city history. Chris Carey had a productive year as a receiver, catching 15 passes for 452, 30.1 yards per catch, and 5 TDs. He accounted for more than half of Mike Higgenbotham’s 776 passing yards and nearly half of his 11 TD tosses.

10. (tie). Vanden, 2008 — 9-2 For the only time ever, two city teams met for an outright league championship in the regular season finale as the Vikings outlasted Rodriguez 21-15 at windy George A. Gammon Field. The Vikings’ lone regular season loss was 9-7 to Vintage in which QB Chad Hurst was 10 for 30 for 146 yards, though his receivers should have been credited with passes defensed because of the numerous drops they had. Vanden, coached by LeVon Haynes, then went on to win eight straight games, capped by its win over the Mustangs, but

all the victory did was earn them a first-round matchup with Del Campo, which defeated them 24-18 in the first round of the playoffs. Hurst was the focal point of the Vanden offense, throwing for 1,609 yards and 14 touchdowns. The yardage was crucial as the Vikings had one of their poorer rushing seasons, gaining just 1,732 yards on the ground with Damon Treat leading the way with 626 yards and 8 TDs.

10. (tie). Rodriguez, 2008 — 9-3 The Mustangs’ bid to repeat as SJS champions turned on that windy evening at George A. Gammon Field and the 21-15 loss to Vanden. Rodriguez QB Myles King, who had shredded Vacaville for 320 yards and four TDs in the season-opening 49-42 loss to Vacaville, was limited to 5 of 12 for 55 yards by Vanden and the weather. How windy was it? Punting toward the north end of the field, King downed his own boot after it went nowhere and bounced near the line of scrimmage. Fullback Geno Escalante set a city record with 36 carries, rushing for 163 yards and two TDs, but the effort was in vain. The loss not only cost Rodriguez the SCAC title, but put them on the road for the playoffs. They opened with a 21-6 win over Woodland, doing all their scoring in the second quarter, but then fell 52-35 at Casa Roble. It was by far the most potent offensive team in Rodriguez history, as King threw for 1,860 yards and 20 TDs, Escalante rushed

for 1,128 yards and 19 TDs, and Cameron Richmond caught 52 passes for 1,014 yards and 12 TDs. Jason Verrett was healthy and able to play in every game, rushing for 617 yards and nine TDs, catching 18 passes for 332 yards and two TDs. As a team, the Mustangs, coached by David Fishleigh, averaged 40.8 points and 425.2 total yards per game, both third-most in city history

10. (tie). Fairfield, 2009 — 9-3 With Tra’Mayne Bondurant, the city’s alltime total offense leader running the offense at quarterback, the Falcons were fun to watch. With a defense that was challenged, points were piled up on both sides of the scoreboard. Indeed, the Falcons, coached by Jack Canavesio, won big and lost big, getting its nine wins by an average score of 41-15, suffering its three setbacks by an average of 61-25. Bondurant turned in the greatest total offense season in city history, amassing a record 3,538 total yards (2 ,6 3 0 passing, 908 rushing) and being responsible for 50 touchdowns, another city record. Alex Hubbard capped his stellar career by catching 37 passes for 295 yards and four TDs despite missing four games. Fairfield’s secondplace finish in the MEL earned it a home game in the first round of the playoffs, but after the 45-17 win over Rosemont the Falcons were flattened 66-12 by powerhouse Grant of Sacramento.

Potential free agents: If the Giants are going to heavily spend in the offseason, starting pitching might be the way to go. Zaidi said the mission in 2021 is making the playoffs, and that wonâ€™t happen with the rotation as is. Thereâ€™s interest in resigning Gausman and Smyly, both of whom expressed a desire to return but will have ample opportunities on the open market. If the Giants fail to bring back both, Zaidi will need to acquire a slew of starters from other organizations via free agency or trades. Free agency starts withÂ Trevor BauerÂ andÂ Marcus StromanÂ but is expected to deepen with teams, without their normal revenue from fans in attendance, non-tendering promising arbitration-eligible pitchers.

Currently, the Giants are holding instructional league inÂ Arizona, and Corry is participating but not Hjelle. The Giants wanted him to have a normal offseason instead of extending him into November so heâ€™d be ready to perform in his second big-league camp in spring training.

Giants selected in the June draft came with the 67th pick, leftyÂ Nick SwineyÂ of North Carolina State. And perhaps the most intriguing pick, at 85, was leftyÂ Kyle HarrisonÂ out ofÂ De La Salle HighÂ inÂ Concord, who received a $2.5 million bonus to forgo his commitment toÂ UCLA. Key question for 2021: What doesÂ Johnny CuetoÂ have left?

Berryessa starts phased reopening Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

LAKE BERRYESSA â€” The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation continued the official phased reopening of Lake Berryessa on Saturday. The lake and its resorts have been closed to the public since the start of the LNU Lightning Fire Complex in mid-August. â€œWe fully understand and empathize with the local communityâ€™s desire to return to a sense of normalcy after such a devastating event,â€? Regional Director Ernest Conant said in a statement released Friday. â€œWe appreciate the publicâ€™s patience as reclamation staff works hard to safely provide full access to our Lake Berryessa recreation areas again.â€? Visitors are required to follow Covid-related guidance from Napa County and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The phased reopening started Friday with con-

cession-operated facilities. â€œAccess to boats in slips, boat rentals and boat launching will be opened at Pleasure Cove, Spanish Flat, Steele Canyon and Putah Canyon recreation areas,â€? the reclamation statement said. Many of those facilities were damage in the fire, so they will not be fully operational until further notice. The LNU Lightning Complex Fire that started early Aug. 17 in rural Napa County and ultimately surrounded Lake Berryessa. Officials closed off access to the lake the next day. Several smaller fires soon merged into the Hennessey Fire, the largest fire within the complex, which raced into Solano County late Aug. 18 and early Aug. 19 and forced thousands of people to flee from the homes. Two people were killed by the fire in rural Vacaville. Another three people died in the fire in Napa County. The LNU Lightning Complex Fire burned

more than 567.53 square miles (363,220 acres) across portions of Solano, Napa, Yolo, Colusa, Sonoma and Lake counties. It currently ranks as the fourth-largest wildfire in the stateâ€™s modern era. A total of 65.62 square miles (42,000 acres) burned in rural Solano County before firefighters stopped it near the city limits of Vacaville and Fairfield. Reclamation-operated facilities reopened Saturday, including South Oak Shores and Eticuera day-use areas, the Capell Cove boat launch and the Pope Bridge parking lot. Camping and cabins at concession-operated facilities will take visitors Friday.

He was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats with the intent to terrorize, carrying a loaded handgun he does not own, being a felon in possession of a firearm, illegal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and for having a large-capacity magazine, all felonies, and a misdemeanor allegation of possessing a firearm for which the serial number has been removed, according to jail records. Bail was initially set at a combined $157,500. Gaines was no longer listed as being in custody Saturday, according to jail records. No case had been filed against him in connection with the case, according to court records.

A new take on Romero’s ‘Night of the Living Dead’ Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

SAN JOSE — San Jose Stage Company has announced the full cast and creative team for The Stage’s opening show of its 2020-21 virtual season, “Night of the Living Dead,” which runs Wednesday through Saturday. George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” set the stage for decades of the zombie horror film genre. The Stage’s virtual presentation is a hybrid of theater, film and the classic radio drama. “After months of being closed to the public, due the global pandemic, The Stage is thrilled to present ‘Night of the Living Dead’ virtually,” said Randall King, artistic director, in a press release. “The company had fun working on this classic that we all grew up with. The story proves timeless as we universally grapple with an unknown invader struggling in darkness reaching for the light of dawn . . . a new day . . . another chance.” The cast includes Randall See Dead, Page B2

Bieber tops Celebrity Apology Index for ’20 Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Justin Bieber tops the list of the Celebrity Apology Index, compiled by Casino Hex. To arrive at the rankings, the company searched the biggest celebrity news and gossip websites TMZ and E! Online, recording every article that featured the keywords “apology,” “apologizes” and/ or “scandal.” That provided a list of celebrities and news article URLs. Duplicate news articles where the same celebrity scandal or apology was fea-

tured multiple times and/or covered on both news sites were removed. The results were then totaled to create a data table of who had to apologize for what. Bieber, Chris Brown and Kevin Hart top the charts, having apologized most for insensitive comments and behavior. Bieber racked up a total of seven public apologies across the themes of racial offense (4), breaking the rule of law (1) and being insensitive to mental health issues (2). Brown and Hart racked up five public apologies each, with See Index, Page B2

They did a daytime dinosaur party for a nephew. His sister will be 2 in November and Tanciongco’s mom celebrates a birthday. The Halloween tradition includes family so all can enjoy the fun of seeing children dressed in costumes, searching for sweets. Odd antenna-looking things just went up in late September at the Shoveller Drive home. The sidewalk in front of the abode gained 6 feet distance markers last week with torches

and reflective ground markers along with lit signs. Tanciongco and Sencil are creating the Jurassic experience with the assistance of six projectors. The garage will be a focal point, Sencil said. “We always do family friendly,” Sencil said. The 2019 Halloween display was called the Electric Pumpkin Carnival, fashioned after the Electric Daisy Carnival. Trick-or-treaters got glow sticks and a present mix of tunes from a DJ.

FAIRFIELD — Greg Ojeda is fighting a war on two fronts. He lives with Parkinson’s disease and fights to save souls as the lead pastor of Fairfield’s I Am Church. Ojeda recently released his second book, “The Marriage Maker: What Time is it in Your Marriage?” A book description reads: “In marriage, we always have a dance partner. We can always drive in the commute lane. We always have a dinner date. We always have a warm bed. “Always remember, the Marriage Maker himself is God, and he

would like to declare over you, ‘And They Lived Happily Ever After.’ ” He released his first book, “What in the World was God Thinking? Marriage: Biblical Answers to Understanding Male & Female Differences,” four years ago. Ojeda and his wife, Marilyn Ojeda, who organized the local Day of Prayer for several years, have been married almost 44 years. They have raised four sons. They moved here in 1981 to minister.

And, unlike the Gingy House, which welcomes guests nightly during the Christmas season, Dino Zoo is a one-night only event from 7 to 10 p.m. The couple often plans their holiday displays, an area favorite, three to four years in advance. That gives them the opportunity to collect necessary items and finalize plans. Those visiting the Dino Zoo will have the most enjoyable experience walking, Sencil said.

hough the title may sound like science fiction or some rock-and-roll romp, “Radium Girls” gets its name from the plaintiffs in a real court case about an American tragedy during the Progressive Era. The case had a lasting impact on workplace protections, though possibly not as enduring as the effect the radiation the women were exposed to would have on their bodies. From the 1910s through the ’20s, the United States Radium Corp. (here, “American Radium”) thrived by selling glow-in-the-dark watches with numbers hand-painted with actual radium. Workers, mostly women, were exposed to tremendous amounts of the radioactive material. They were even instructed to bring the brushes to a finer point by putting them between their lips. When workers began to sicken and die in conspicuous numbers, a handful of the rest brought suit against the company, which had maintained that the substance was safe. Joey King (“The Act”) plays Bessie, one of three sisters to work at the factory. Her sister, Mary, has died before we meet the family, which does not suspect a lethal connection to her job. Abby Quinn (“Little Women”) plays the other sister, Josephine, a star worker with enthusiasm for ancient Egypt and for her work – until she falls mysteriously ill as well. Considering the company doctor’s humiliating diagnosis

of Josephine’s sickness and the wealthy corporation’s resources, how can a group of impoverished legal novices prevail? Many facts and names have been altered. Despite this dramatic license, the film lurches toward cliche, with surprise witnesses and evidence sprung on the other side in the courtroom. A romantic subplot is thrown in, with questionable necessity. Co-director Lydia Dean Pilcher again shows an eye for intriguing historical material (she also directed this year’s “A Call to Spy”). However, as with “Call to Spy,” there’s a lack of texture and experiential quality to “Radium Girls.” Low-budget period pieces face the formidable challenge of making the time and place feel immediate; “Radium” isn’t helped by the filmmakers’ habit of interspersing archival footage they can’t quite match with new digitally “aged” shots featuring their characters. Little attention is paid to the vernacular or physicality of the period.

Flight attendants could soon be selling credit cards on flights Tribune Content Agency

Kent Nishimura/Los Angeles Times/TNS file

Some wineries, like Somerston Estate Winery & Vineyards in St. Helena, are forgoing a 2020 vintage due to the

ongoing wildfire season, which has seen two major wildfires in the region, so far.

AFTER BACK-TO-BACK WILDFIRES

SOME NAPA WINEMAKERS WONâ€™T MAKE A 2020 VINTAGE Tribune Content Agency Craig Becker walked among the vines of Somerston Estate in St. Helena and surveyed the rolling hills before him. Less than two months ago, lightning storms sparked fires that lit the ridges around him and tore through the trees, bushes and crops that covered this sprawling piece of land. The flames rendered the estateâ€™s surviving vines unworkable, spoiled by the thick smoke that sat

in the valley and seeped into grapes, turning their flavor to ash. Like several other vineyards here, Somerston has decided not to harvest any fruit from its 2020 vintage due to damage caused by smoke fumes. â€œAll of them are tainted,â€? Becker said as he chewed a grape, then spit it out. â€œI have it on my tongue right now.â€? California has been under near-constant siege by wildfires for nearly two months as flames of his-

toric size, intensity and destruction have ignited throughout the state. Following large, consecutive wildfires in Napa â€“ first the LNU Lightning Complex fire that burned more than 363,000 acres in August, and now the Glass fire that has chewed through more than 51,000 acres â€“ some vintners say harvesting this yearâ€™s grapes isnâ€™t worth the time or investment because they canâ€™t be salvaged. â€œItâ€™s terrible,â€? Becker

said, hopping into his buggy and driving down a hill to inspect another batch of vines. â€œYou can taste it on the finish.â€? Itâ€™s still too early to tell what the full extent of loss will be for winemakers across the state, but some vineyard managers are preparing for the worst.

Southwest AirlinesÂ is asking flight attendants to sell credit cards during flights in exchange for a smaller pay cut as the company tries to navigate expected losses from the Covid-19 pandemic. Dallas-basedÂ Southwest, which told union employees earlier this month they need to take a 10% pay cut next year to avoid furloughs, could start selling products during flights, including credit cards, as a way to increase revenue and make up for the dismal number of passengers booking fares. The credit card pitches came up during a bargaining session this week betweenÂ Southwest and Transport Workers Union Local 556, representing the 15,000 flight attendants at the carrier, according to a summary of the meeting sent to union members. Southwest, which announces third-quarter earnings Thursday, declined to comment.

The airline is in a dire financial position as it heads into 2021 and is looking for ways to boost revenue and cut costs. Thatâ€™s why the company recently announced expansion plans to airports such as Chicago Oâ€™Hare, Houston Intercontinental,Â MiamiÂ andÂ Palm Springs, Calif., an attempt to broaden its revenue base while a large number of passengers are still unwilling to fly. Losses are expected to be steep once again forÂ SouthwestÂ when it announces its third-quarterresults.Â Atlanta-basedÂ Delta Air LinesÂ reported a $5.4 billion loss for the quarter andÂ Chicagoâ€™sÂ United AirlinesÂ lost $1.8 billion.Â Fort Worth-basedÂ American AirlinesÂ also reports results Thursday. SouthwestÂ CEOÂ Gary KellyÂ and other airline executives have said they donâ€™t expect a significant rebound in airline traffic until a Covid-19 vaccine See Flight, Page B4

Napa: Winemakers suffer losses after wildfires

is developed and distributed, which likely wouldn’t happen until late 2021. Southwest has never slashed pay or furloughed employees in its 50-year history. Kelly said the company is looking at a myriad of options to avoid it, including new ways to make money and cut expenses. Southwest is the only major airline that doesn’t try to sell credit cards during flights, one of a handful of ways it sets itself apart from other carriers, along with its bags-fly-free and no-first-class policies. Credit card and loyalty programs are a major revenue stream at other airlines. Airlines don’t disclose exactly how much they make from selling credit cards on board, but Southwest said it made $1.3 billion last year from its various credit card programs and agreements with banks. Selling credit cards during flights often brings in revenue for each new card, as well as potential cash when customers use those credit cards. In the past, Southwest has turned to other means to sell credit cards than pestering passengers, such as emails and partnerships with country music stars. The airline would need the flight attendants union to sign off on the on-board credit card pitches because they would be the ones selling the cards. The topic came up in negotiations for a new contract last year, but those talks have slowed because of the uncertainty of the pandemic. So far, unions have been icy toward the idea of pay concessions. TWU Local 556 president Lyn Montgomer y said that historically pay cuts haven’t resulted in fewer furloughs at other airlines. “Now, while flight attendants are serving on the front line of the pandemic, they are doing so with limited opportunities to earn what they had before, while the company is asking for pay concessions that would result in a further reduction to their paychecks,” the union negotiating committee said in its letter to members.

wildfires would occur around mid-October, when for many vineyards, a majority of fruit had already been picked. This year, more fruit remained vulnerable on the vine when smoke set in. Smoke contains compounds that bind to the skin of grapes and get absorbed into the fruit. The aroma releases throughout the fermentation and aging process, making a seemingly unaffected wine taste more ashy over time. In general, red wines, especially ones made with thin-skinned grapes like Pinot Noir, tend to be most affected. “This is definitely an industry challenge, but it’s not something that consumers need to worry about. The wineries simply won’t release bad wine,” said Gladys Horiuchi of the Wine Institute. During a normal fall season, Becker’s employees would be showing tourists and wine lovers around the property and pointing out the different varietals before taking them back inside for a tasting. Somerston, which covers 1,682 acres of Napa Valley’s eastern Vaca mountain range, hosts 244 acres of vineyards. Nearly 1,400 acres of the estate burned in the Hennessey fire, part of the LNU Lightning Complex. The estate also chose not to harvest most of its fruit after fires tore through the region in 2017. But the 2020 vintage has higher taint levels, Becker said, ranging from five to 15 times more smoke taint than 2017. “We have enough wine to bridge the gap,” he said. But the vineyard will likely run out of white wine this year because it has only the 2019 vintage to draw on, he added. Becker, Somerston’s general manager, said the estate is trying to recoup some of the costs of the August wreckage from insurance. He estimates the vineyard sustained $1.1 million in infrastructure damage alone. For smaller vineyards, the smoke damage to 2020 vines will be harder to stomach. Lamborn Family Vineyards in Angwin, Calif., announced last month it wouldn’t make a 2020 vintage after the LNU Lightning Complex fire choked its vines. The vineyard produces about 1,800 cases of wine per year with grapes grown on just under 9 acres. “The fruit tastes really

good if you were to pick it from the vine, but the problem is the smoke taint shows itself after fermentation,” said Brian Lamborn, who runs the vineyard with his parents and brother. “Our winemaker did some micro fermentation on fruit from different sections in the vineyard, and there was measurable smoke taint.” Vineyards as far north as Mendocino County have been battling smoke taint issues for the last four years, said Lewis Perdue, publisher and executive editor of Wine Industry Insight. “In some cases, the larger wineries which would buy from a lot of different vineyards would simply reject the grapes, and the vineyard owner is kind of stuck,” Perdue said. “Right now, nobody really knows what the extent is going to be.” Last week, Lamborn said flames from the Glass fire were the closest any blaze has come to the vineyard. “We do have wines to sell over the next few years, but it’s 2023 that is going to be really problematic,” he said, referring to the year the winery’s 2020 vintage would have been sold. “When you’re in the business of selling wine, and you have a year of no wine to sell, it’s a big deal for a small winery like us. With the whole pandemic going on, and now the wildfires, wine country has really taken a hit.” The 45-year-old said the family lost its nearly $100,000 investment in this year’s grapes – a cost they can’t easily recover. “That is something

we feel immediately,” he said. “We’re not a bigger vineyard. We are a small family business, and that represents a significant investment for someone of our size.” The vineyard is looking into alternatives for its sooty grapes, he added, including hand sanitizers, sauces and fruit essence. Still, not every winery or vineyard is going to lose its 2020 crop, Lamborn said. “It’s not this doom and gloom where wine country isn’t going to be making any wines from 2020,” he said. “There will be some wonderful wines. It’s just that for us it was a tough decision, but one that needed to be made.” To confirm the smoke damage, grapes have to be tested. But the laboratories that perform tests are backlogged with an unprecedented volume of requests, experts say. Jason Smith, president of vineyard management firm Valley Farm Management, said results that used to come back within 24 to 72 hours now take about four to five weeks. ETS Laboratory, a primary company California winemakers turn to for testing, is evacuating its St. Helena branch in the midst of the Glass fire, adding potential delays to results. “I mean, you can’t even make this up,” said Smith. “It’s just crazy.” Two weeks ago, a coalition of organizations advocating for California, Oregon and Washington winemakers requested support for disaster relief and continued research from Congress through the Wildfire and Hurricane Indemnity Program.

The group said they feared fires “will result in the greatest economic loss, due to a natural disaster, ever suffered by the industry in our states,” according to the letter they sent to officials. Some winemakers have found creative ways to work with an otherwise spoiled product. When Lindsay Hoopes tasted her 2017 vintage in 2019, she was shocked by the profile that had become “unsaleable” since the last time she tested the batch. “The wine tasted like an absolute ash tray,” Hoopes said. “It came seemingly out of nowhere. We would never have embarked on processing them if we had known.” She is still fighting with insurance to cover the costs of some of the loss at Hoopes Vineyard, she said. But a chance meeting with master distiller during a trip to Kentucky provided an unconventional solution that could help her recoup some of what she lost: using the smoky wine for spirits. A second-generation grower, Hoopes leaned into the charred flavor profile of her wine and used it to make brandy and vermouth. The pivot required additional investment on top of losing expensive crops, but she needed to salvage what she could. With her brandy still aging in the barrel, she hopes to recover at least part of the $2 million she lost in 2017. “2017 wildfires started the trend of putting your entire year’s revenue at risk,” said Hoopes, who was raised in Napa. Sitting at a picnic table at her Yountville vineyard, Hoopes explained that the

vines behind her were tainted by smoke again this year. She said she plans on using those grapes for brandy and vermouth too. “More people are affected now,” she said. Thick clouds of smoke hung in the air, migrating from the flames around Calistoga down into the valley where Hoopes has created her “oasis” – a space outfitted with Airstreams, a garden and an animal sanctuary. “Some people might escape it, but in theory you could be talking about an entire vintage gone.” Emma Swain, chief executive of St. Supéry Estate Vineyards & Winery, said the estate is facing a loss of grapes due to smoke from the August fires and the Glass fire. It was able to use grapes from its Rutherford property, Swain said, as well as grapes harvested from its Dollarhide vineyard in Napa’s northeastern hills before the LNU Lightning Complex fire broke out. The rest showed “significant taint.” like losing “It’s 90,000 cases of Napa Valley wine,” Swain said, adding that the estate had not seen tainted grapes in previous years. “It affects our business for the next three years, and I think that is true for everyone.” The LNU Lightning Complex posed a bigger threat than the Glass fire, she added, because those fires burned on the estate while the Glass fire has remained miles away. “The reality is we can’t put something we’re unsure of out,” she said.

Vatican, China renew accord on bishops despite US pressure Bloomberg News The Vatican renewed an agreement with China, brushing aside pressure from the U.S. government which has denounced attacks on religious freedom in the Asian country.

Beijing and the papal state, which are slowly moving toward restoring diplomatic relations after almost 70 years, agreed to extend the 2018 accord on the appointment of bishops in China for another two years, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-

man Zhao Lijian said at a daily briefing on Thursday. U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said Sept. 30 during a visit to the Vatican that â€œnowhere is religious freedom under assaultâ€? more than in China. The Vatican â€œendan-

gers its moral authorityâ€? by renewing the agreement, Pompeo tweeted on Sept. 19. He also published a critique of the pact in a religious magazine. Pope Francis did not grant Pompeo an audience during his visit, with Vatican officials saying

the timing was too close to the U.S. election. Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vaticanâ€™s secretary of state, told reporters at the time he was â€œsurprisedâ€? by Pompeoâ€™s article, adding that a meeting was the most appropriate way of discussing such issues.

Chinese spokesman Zhao said the renewal signals continued momentum between China and the Vatican. â€œThe two sides will remain in close communication and consultation to continuously improve our relations,â€? he said.

In brief Women exiting service can get help virtually ARLINGTON, Va. — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Women’s Health Services and the Department of the Air Force’s Women’s Initiative Team collaborated to establish training that provides information on health services available to women who are separating or retiring from the military. The virtual training is taught by women veterans who actively use Veterans Affairs health care services. The five-phase curriculum covers topics such as enrolling in the Veterans Affairs, understanding the Veterans Health Administration and utilizing available femalespecific services. “There’s a lot of different challenges that women veterans face when they depart service, and I think different issues compared to their male peers, (it’s not that) one gender experiences it worse – it’s just one gender experiences it differently,” said Maj. Alea Nadeem, Women’s Initiative Team chair. The course is available to all active duty, guard and reserve servicewomen. For Nadeem, the reasons women should attend the Women’s Health Transition Training is two-fold. Virtual training sessions are offered twice a day until Dec. 21. The 2021 calendar is still being finalized. Women may sign up for the course 24 months prior to separation. Those interested in attending, can register at www.va.gov/ womenvet/whtt/. Participants are not limited to training sessions in their own time zone.

Groups to focus on interpersonal violence ARLINGTON, Va. — The Department of the Air Force will soon conduct focus groups with airmen and Space Force professionals about their experiences surrounding interpersonal violence. The focus groups are scheduled to begin the week of Monday and consist of interpersonal violence survey participants who volunteered to take part in smallgroup discussions. Interpersonal violence ranges from stalking and bullying to domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse. “Within the interpersonal violence survey, members could opt-in to take part in a limited amount of focus groups. These groups will help us understand our members’ perspectives surrounding interpersonal violence,” said Brig. Gen. April Vogel, director for manpower, personnel, recruiting and services at the National Guard Bureau, and the interpersonal violence task force lead. “Their voices are an imperative piece to determine if we are keeping our airmen and space professionals safe when they face interpersonal violence.” The focus groups are part of an approach in which the focus-group data, survey data and data gathered from reviewing past cases involving interpersonal violence will be used to identify any themes or proposed areas for improvement. The survey portion concluded Oct. 9, and approximately 68,000 total force airmen and space Force professionals participated, including civilians. comprehensive A review of the findings, to include both the focus group and survey data, is scheduled for early 2021. — Daily Republic wire services

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Saturday marks 50 years since the first C-5A Galaxy arrived at Travis Air Force Base. Since tail No. 68-221 landed Oct. 24, 1970, the base fleet of C-5s has been connected to a wizard’s scroll of the nation’s major events, including: ■ Escort and assistance for major world political figures, including multiple presidents and Pope John Paul II as well as bringing home prisoners of war after Vietnam; ■ Humanitarian aid responses after countless natural disasters and other world events, including the Rwandan civil war in 1994 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005; ■ Providing support for a bevy of offensives: the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, the Somali Civil War, Operation Enduring Freedom, the second Iraq War and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. With a wingspan of over 222 feet, a height of 65 feet and a maximum liftoff capacity of 840,000 pounds, the C-5 is a behemoth, one of the largest aircraft in the world. Generations of Americans have plied their trade on the planes. Let’s take a look at where the C-5 has been, where it is today and what’s in store in the future from the folks who have worked with the aircraft over the past half-century.

The past The first aircraft to arrive on an almost monthly basis for the first few years of the 1970s were A model C-5s. In the late 1980s, an improved model, the C-5B, arrived to bolster and replace A models. Also, in Travis’ fleet are the C-model C-5s, a modified version of the A model with increased cargo capacity to help NASA move its wares. Brian Joseph spent more than three decades working on the C-5. Now

Staff Sgt. Michael Hailemaskel, a flying crew chief with the 60th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Travis Air Force Base, watches a C-5M Super Galaxy engine start, Sept. 18, at La Aurora International Airport, Guatemala City. The C-5 marked 50 years of service at Travis on Saturday. a maintenance operations manager with the 860th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Travis, Joseph arrived at the base in 1975 at age 18 and has never left. He started as an apprentice mechanic and promoted his way to becoming a C-5 crew chief. “C-5 is a plane you either love or hate,” Joseph said. “There’s no middle ground on the C-5. Since I cut my teeth on the C-5, I’m partial to it. I worked on it most of my adult life, so I love it. It was a challenge. It’s very hard to work on, but since I had nothing to compare it to, it was my norm.” In addition to the many missions, Joseph remembers the challenges of keeping the fleet aloft over the years, including periods when parts were hard to come by in the 1980s. “We were cannibalizing parts off of other airplanes as a normal course of business instead of getting parts from a vendor,” Joseph said. “During that time, it was really bad. We were trying to maintain an airplane that in the ’70s was maintaining at 98% reliability. Reliability fell to 60% and sometimes less.” Joseph isn’t the only C-5 vet who remembers those challenges. Sonny Deleon worked with the C-5 as a flight engineer,

C-5 is a plane you either love or hate. There’s no middle ground on the C-5.

Super Galaxies. Tech. Sgt. Christopher Doss, 60th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron aircraft section chief, first touched C-5s in 2006 when he was at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. Doss said the advancements have made it easier for computer systems to talk to one another, making it easier for technicians to find the root causes of discrepancies. “Just seeing how these aircraft work now with new technological advances is amazing,” Doss said. “It’s crazy what technology has done for these airframes and aircraft.” Doss said the weight of a maintainer’s responsibility was impressed upon him early in his career. While at Dover, he saw the remains of a C-5 that crashed on final approach. “The instructor took us out and showed us the plane. He said, ‘This is what happens when you don’t follow procedures correctly,’ ” Doss said. The gravity and responsibility of the job are things he works to instill in the airmen coming up behind him in the C-5 universe, such as Staff Sgt. Elijha Manibusan, a C-5 craftsman and crew chief with the same squadron as Doss. Manibusan entered the service in 2008 and got a brief stint See C-5, Page B7

C-5: 21st century brought upgrades, new technology to plane â€œWhen itâ€™s an issue with an engine, it takes a little more time to troubleshoot the problem because itâ€™s a newer engine. It hasnâ€™t been seen before,â€? he said. â€œOther than that, the aircraft is pretty solid.â€?

From Page B6 with the C-5 on the flight line at Dover, including the first C-5M. Manibusan said his eyeopening moment came in 2010 when he had the chance to be on a C-5 flight deck during takeoff. â€œI had seen it come and go, but being in the cockpit right there with the pilot, seeing it take off and see everything that goes around, was a complete change for me,â€? he said. Manibusan said the flight expanded his understanding of how his work connected to the larger mission. â€œWhen itâ€™s on the ground, itâ€™s completely different,â€? Manibusan said. â€œTo see how vital communications are during takeoff was completely exhilarating to me. It was a moment

He acknowledged what Doss

said about different components interacting more fluidly, but also said new components mean new challenges that havenâ€™t been diagnosed before.

To extend the shelf life of the C-5M, Doss said airmen need to keep passing down everything theyâ€™ve learned throughout the years. It takes passion and pride, he added. â€œWe have to pass that ownership down as (noncommissioned officers), senior (noncommissioned officers),â€? he said. â€œWeâ€™re gone. Weâ€™re retired. They need to know this is your jet. Youâ€™ve got to take care of it. . . . Itâ€™s fluid. Itâ€™s continuous as long as we have these jets.â€?

As it looks to the future, the C-5 flies on with few peers capable of delivering the same kind of mobility. â€œI worked on the KC-10, the C-17, but how many aircraft can hold Chinook helicopters?â€? Doss asked. â€œNo aircraft can haul as much cargo as a C-5.â€? The aircraft can still catch the breath of those who have serviced their parts, been on their missions and been vital to their 50 years of service. â€œIâ€™m in awe every time I see one fly here at Travis,â€? Deleon said. â€œItâ€™s amazing that an airplane as big as that can do what it does.â€? Five decades down, thereâ€™s the potential for still more awe and inspiration to come. The nationâ€™s leaders plan to keep the C-5 in service until they reach the 70-year mark in 2040.

How to avoid feelings of isolation from others Judi Light Hopson, Emma H. Hopson and Ted Hagen TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

f you’re like most people, staying away from friends and family during the pandemic is getting tougher. We humans, by nature, are very social creatures. Relationships make us happy. If you live alone, you’re likely feeling vulnerable to depression, plus other odd emotions you can’t describe. It’s typical to feel hopeless at times. To get a grip on your emotions, ride out the storm of the pandemic, and get your mental health to a better place, try a few steps to create predictability. A routine, planned activities, and connection to specific people can help you regain your balance. These tips can help: n Keep a regular schedule. If you’re working from home, it’s easy to stay up late and oversleep in the morning. Instead, use an alarm clock for waking up at the same time each day. Also, make it a point to go to bed close to the same hour every night. This establishes rhythm in your day. n Try to talk by phone to at least two friends every day. Texting is handy, but texting doesn’t allow you to hear the voice of people who really care about you.

PERSON TO PERSON nPlan at least one large goal or help someone else set a large goal. This creates a little excitement. For instance, sign up for a college class. Make it a goal to keep taking classes until you finish your degree. Or, help a friend plan a home remodeling project. n Make a few goals for local or extended travel when the pandemic is over. Having something to look forward to will make you feel more normal. This might be a trip to a regional zoo, or it might be a drive to one or two national parks. Engage a few people to share in these eventual activities with you. “I got on YouTube to check out London and other places I’ve dreamed of visiting,” says a friend of ours we’ll call Janeen. “Virtual travel is better than nothing, at this point in time. It’s fun to see video tours of cities in Australia, Africa, and India.” She continues, “Staying at home might be the perfect time to dream bigger. When the pandemic is over, even if I have to work overtime to pay for it, I’m going to budget for at least one major trip each year.” Feeling depressed is really having the feeling that you’re stuck. The future looks bleak and hopeless, instead of fun and

exciting. However, via your imagination and ability to dream of trying new things, you can build a little excitement and feel more in control of your life. A restaurant owner we’ll call Diane says she’s also used revisiting the past as a way to feel happier. “About once a week, I drive by one of my old homes or apartments,” she says. “It’s fun to remember the activities, neighbors, and experiences I went through at that period in time. I’ve even driven through a couple of neighborhoods I lived in as a child.” Sharing your life with people on Facebook can work, too. For example, residents of a mid-size town in Tennessee post past pictures of neighborhoods, celebrations, and events on a special group page they’ve created for their city. This is a way to experience many shared emotions with other people. We each feel less isolated when we join a conversation, even a virtual conversation.

Today’s birthday

Covid concerns haunt Halloween plans

You know what you want, and this is no small statement. The clarity and confidence you bring to endeavors has everything to do with your being certain of your heart’s desire. The seas will part to herald your crossing. Relationships will fall into alignment as you create momentum toward your aim. You are unstoppable. Taurus and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 31, 5, 41 and 17.

time, effort and training. Your superstar move today will be to let admired ones know that you appreciate the amount of work that went into what they built. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The product is important but so is the presentation. If you don’t show it to the world in a way that lets it be seen in the right light, then you’re not making good on your work investment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Though you often know what you want, today you’ll be surprised to learn that you have aims you’ve kept a secret from yourself. You had your reasons, but now things have changed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You have a tight, focused lens on your work and will see the details that matter and the flaws, too. Healthy criticism keeps you turning out a good product, but don’t cross the line into meanness. Be nice to yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). The spotlight is also a target. The price of being in the center of attention is courage. Because no matter who you are, you’ll be vulnerable to a lot of different kinds of attention. It’s worth it.

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY REPUBLIC

he threat of Covid-19 could be haunting our Halloween and Día de los Muertos traditions this year, unfortunately. Because of the risk of transmitting Covid-19, the California Department of Public Health has recommended that families skip trick-or-treating because some of the traditional holiday activities promote congregating and mixing of households, which can increase the risk of transmitting Covid-19. In general, the more people from different households with whom a person interacts, the closer the physical interaction is and the longer the interaction lasts, the higher the risk that a person with Covid-19 infection – symptomatic or asymptomatic – may spread it to others, according to the California Department of Public Health. Trick-or-treating without necessary modifications promotes congregating and mixing of many households, particularly on crowded doorsteps, which can increase the spread of Covid-19. That type of mixing is not currently permitted in California. Additionally, if there is a positive case discovered, it is very challenging to do appropriate contact tracing to identify all those who have been potentially exposed. For these reasons, the California Department of Public Health recommends that you choose a safer alternative to celebrate Halloween and Día de los Muertos, and strongly discourages trick-or-treating. There are ways to make the celebrations safe, even if you stay home, or create a virtual event. If you have young ones

who really look forward to the opportunity to wear costumes and dress up, it’s still possible to have fun. Here are some safe tips to consider for a pandemichaunted Halloween season: n Consider creating a haunted house in your home. n Set up a candy scavenger hunt in your home or backyard. Have the children wait in a bedroom or other room while you hide the treats in unexpected places. n Plan to hold a scary movie night in your backyard, and serve red-tinted popcorn and black and orange Jelly Belly beans. Some family favorites include “Hocus Pocus,” “Ghostbusters,” “Double Trouble Toil & Trouble” or “Casper.” n Hold Halloween-themed activities, such as pumpkin carving or decorating, and face painting. n Have fun with a Halloween piñata. Get a piñata to fill with individually wrapped candy and hang it outside. Your children can dress up in their favorite Halloween costumes and take turns hitting the piñata with a broom handle or bat until the candy falls out. n Instead of bobbing for apples, help the children to dip them in softened caramel and slice them for easy eating. n Participate in online parties/contests. n Attend car-based outings where people do not leave their car, including drive-in events or contests or movies. n Drive through an area with Halloween displays. n Drive to where the leaves are turning and have a family picnic when you get there. n Eat a Halloween-themed meal with your household. n Enjoy a Halloween-themed art installation at an outdoor

museum with your household. n Dress up homes and yards with Halloween-themed decorations. n Send a curated playlist and/or themed treats (or tricks) to your friends ahead of time. n Design face masks that reflect your children’s Halloween costumes. Similar suggestions apply to Día de los Muertos. The idea is to spend time with people in your household or celebrate virtually. n Create an altar in a front window or outside so others can view from a safe social distance. n Create a virtual space to honor lost loved ones. Share with family and friends via email or social media. n If you visit a cemetery, only visit with those you live with, wear masks and maintain appropriate social distancing. Limit time spent to the minimum necessary. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, Halloween during the Covid-19 pandemic is a chance for you and your children to get creative, and maybe even invent some new traditions. It’s also a great opportunity to model flexibility and a positive spirit. If you’re excited and make it fun, your children will have fun, too. More importantly, this is a good time to teach children the importance of protecting not just themselves but others as well.

Murray Bass Plan to live

Tough to make most of confinement

have been wondering if the public knows what happens to folks in senior living facilities when someone tests positive for the Covid-19 virus. You’d be surprised. We were on lockdown already. We wear masks and see visitors only in a plastic shack. But when a positive test shows up, we are confined to our rooms. No visitors, or anything else for that matter. That’s where we are right now. I call it being in solitary confinement. They bring us our medications and food. That’s pretty much the extent of our exposure to the real world. That would be true except for the creativity and imagination of our activities director, Tanya, and her assistant, Irene. These women are just great. They find ways to help us within the state’s ground rules. There’s always something new. For example, they can’t bring entertainment into the facility, so they bring it to the parking lot and let us enjoy it from our windows. Or, we have bingo and exercises in the hallways with residents participating from their doorways. Thank you, Tanya and Irene, for making a bad situation bearable. I wish I could be positive about the effect of solitary confinement on my community involvement. I have been an active part of Solano County for about 40 years. The major part of my involvement has been with the kids. I love ’em! Unfortunately, being in solitary confinement has prevented me from being involved in shaping school board decisions. Like the terrible decision to go with virtual education for the start of the 2020-21 school year. The net effect-consequences will be the denial of education for at least half of the district’s 21,000 students, especially the K-6 kids. All the national statistics have shown that this group is nearly free from any risk of permanent damage from the virus. The schools should have sought waivers and taught these kids in a regular classroom setting. Either the trustees don’t care or they are being intimidated. If the teachers union, for example, refuses to let their members teach, it could have been managed. I would have called it a strike and allowed the teachers who did not report for work to be identified and given voluntary terminations. Unions who openly oppose should be decertified. For heaven’s sake, have the courage to stand up for the future of our kids. I do know something about virtual education. I am president on the board of governors of a California Virtual Academies (CAVA) district. It’s been successful for 15 years. The reasons for that success just don’t exist in the current situation. Those parents want to home school and are there to help their kids. They have built a partnership with teachers. One last thing. I don’t think it is too late to bring the K-6 kids into the classrooms. Anyway, even though I am in solitary confinement, I enjoy the friendship of my friends. My telephone is very busy, often with FaceTime. My emails are regular. I attend Zoom meetings and conference calls. The people who are really hurting are those whose friends are only here. They are cut off and lonely. I wish I could help. Murray Bass of Fairfield can be reached at 720-5139 or mzb602@gmail.com.

Woman who survived cancer, fire uses cleaning to help community Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — Betty Dorsey knows all about overcoming obstacles. She’s gotten through breast cancer, her husband’s truck accident and resulting unemployment, and a house fire. Who knew all those hardships would eventually lead her to start her own business and become an author and mentor? The Chichester, Pa., resident has just published “Ready, Set, Go! Action Plan to a Clutter Free and Healthy Home Environment,” a guide she created in collaboration with the Chester Housing Authority. She became acquainted with the Authority in 2008, when she applied for and moved into CHA’s Housing Choice Voucher Program. Both the house fire and the accident involving her husband, Anthony (a chef who was then out of work for a year), had left the couple in difficult financial straits. Dorsey, 56, needed to generate income while her husband was unemployed. Always one who kept an immaculate home, she decided to start her own cleaning service in 2016. She knew how to clean her place, but what about office buildings and others’ homes? “I did a lot of research, and I learned when you do something and have a passion for it, you can succeed,” she said. “I have always had a passion for cleaning and was good at cleaning my own house because I loved it so much.” Dorsey researched the science of cleaning, studying what chemicals worked best for which jobs, and learning how not to cross-contaminate with cleaning rags. Soon, the business – A.G.D. Manna – was up and running. Her husband, also 56, along with son Kelvin VickBrown, 35, work with her. She established the business while battling lupus, whose pain that can at times be excruciating. “What I learned about pain is, the more I sit around and complain, then the more I can’t do the things I need to do for other people,” she said. “I want to help those more needy than me.” So, about a year after starting her business, Dorsey called the CHA to ask if she could teach free classes to residents about the best ways to clean their homes. On the other end of the phone was the CHA’s voucher-program

By coincidence, she told Dorsey during that conversation, the CHA was looking for someone to clean its administrative building. Would Dorsey be interested in the job? “I said, ‘Betty, what wonderful timing, we have an RFP (request for proposal) out for cleaning services of our administration building,’” Militello said. Dorsey had never filled out an RFP before, but she found help through an online janitorial service, Clean Guru, that helps small businesses like hers learn about the bidding process. The fact that Dorsey was a CHA voucher-program member made her bid intriguing to CHA executive director Steve Fischer. “We are in the business of encouraging participants in the program to do things like start businesses or get better employment,” Fischer said. “Still, we are the stewards of federal funding: Anybody who wants to work where they’re going to be paid (with federal dollars) to do it has to compete and show that they are qualified.” In other words, Dorsey had to earn this contract. Which she did, said Fischer, hands-down.

“You have to give credit to Betty and her husband for being able to satisfy all of the requirements,” Fischer said. Dorsey’s company now cleans the CHA administrative building five days a week and has other residential and commercial clients. Meanwhile, her free classes for CHA residents have taught them how to clean a home properly. Early on, she realized that many of those in attendance had never learned life-management skills, let alone home-care ones. So she began teaching them the importance of having a clean house, how it affects all other aspects of your life. For example, she told them, at CHA if a resident fails inspection because his or her house isn’t clean, they threaten their chance to continue living there. When Covid-19 forced her to cancel in-person classes, she worked with the CHA to write Ready-Set-Go!, a step-by-step guide to cleaning, room by room, and also includes cleaning tips for children. The book costs $12, and more than 1,000 have already been sold. Dorsey receives a percentage of the profits; the rest supports CHA. “We had to make it simple,

showing different techniques that people can use,” including tasks that are kid-friendly because keeping a home tidy is everyone’s job, Dorsey said. “We made it nice and colorful, easy to read. One of my biggest goals is getting the book to all housing authorities across the United States. Residents have to be more active in keeping their communities clean.” While Militello helped putting together the book, she said that Dorsey did the majority of the work; Dorsey enlisted the graphic-design skills of a friend, Polly Foster, to illustrate the book. “We added a few things to make it work for us, but content is probably 95% Betty gleaning what she thought was important,” Militello said. “We’re very proud of all the great work she did.” As she battles her own aches and pains, Dorsey thrives by having a positive attitude that allows her to keep moving at breakneck speed. “I have legs and arms, and can see, and I have the ability to get up in the morning and get out – so I feel fortunate,” she said. “I don’t want to go to the grave with (anything) left to do.”

infection, while better protecting those who are at higher risk. We call this Focused Protection.” Examples of Focused Protection involve Covid-19 screening of long-term care facility employees, assisting the elderly who remain at home through various social services, meeting others outside rather than inside when feasible and other “comprehensive and detailed measures.” Appropriate hand-washing and encouraging people to self-isolate when overtly manifesting symptoms of illness are additional protective strategies. The authors advocate opening of schools and universities for in-person instruction, resumption of sports activities, opening of restaurants and other businesses, and allowing art, music, sports and cultural activities to resume. With the advent of wider immunity levels, society would eventually reach “a point which the rate of new infections is stable.” The statement defers to local health authorities on other specific issues, avoiding mask-use controversy in any explicit sense. The impact of top-down lockdown measures with regard to Covid-19 is only part of the riskbenefit equation with respect to the health of our planet’s young people. Consider also, for example, secondary depression, sub-

stance abuse and lower living standards manifesting in decades to come, throughout America as schools remain shuttered. Sweden, by comparison, saw no coronavirus-related mortality among 1.8 million schoolchildren below age 15, while maintaining face-to-face educational normalcy. The principal Barrington authors are Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Harvard University biostatistician and professor of medicine; Dr. Sunetra Gupta, Oxford University professor and epidemiologist; and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Stanford physician and epidemiologist. Co-signatories include specialists in infectious disease, public health, oncology, genetics, pediatrics, medical ethics, microbiology, critical care and medical statistics, psychiatry, psychology and even philosophy, among other scholars. Concerned ctizens, medical practitioners and public health scientists are free to support this declaration. It will be interesting to see if this position statement garners more widespread endorsements. I signed the Great Barrington Declaration while researching this column.

Woman teaches her sheepadoodle how to communicate using buttons Tribune Content Agency SEATTLE — If you have a pet, you’ve probably wished at some point that it could talk to you. Too bad that’s impossible . . . or is it? Alexis Devine would tell you that her dog can – in a way. Devine, an artist in Tacoma, Wash., has had Bunny, a female Sheepadoodle, for a year. And in that time, Devine says she’s introduced Bunny to more than 50 words by teaching her to press buttons that play words out loud. For instance, as seen in videos Devine has posted on social media, if Bunny wants to go to the park, she’ll press a button that says “park.” Or, if she wants to play, she’ll hit the button for “play.” Those posts on Instagram and TikTok have become wildly popular, with the duo amassing over 300,000 followers on Instagram and 3.4 million followers on TikTok. Devine was inspired after finding, on Instagram, Christina Hunger, a speech-language pathologist who teaches her dog, Stella, how to communicate with buttons. “My goal before I got her was that I wanted to have the most connected, engaged relationship possible and just see what the possibilities are,” Devine said. “I feel like there’s so much potential in animal relationships and I really wanted to make the most of it.” Devine uses puzzle-piece-like boards called HexTiles to hold the buttons in place. The HexTiles are made by FluentPet, which is owned by CleverPet, a company founded by cognitive scientist Leo Trottier. Trottier said those who test the HexTile prototype, like Devine, don’t get paid to use them, but they do get money when they refer customers with a link. The buttons are organized using the Fitzgerald Key, a system developed by Edith Fitzgerald, a teacher

to a question her owner Alexis Devine just asked. Mounted onto the tiles are 65 buttons with all different words that Bunny is either learning or already knows.

who thought it would be easier for deaf children to learn sentence structure if words were grouped in sentence parts such as people, actions, places and things. The buttons are used as a tool for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), a practice that speech-language pathologists use with nonverbal people to communicate. While Devine was open to trying the buttons, they were never something she forced on Bunny. She said they were on the back burner while she was teaching Bunny basic obedience as a puppy. “If it works, it works –

cool, and if it doesn’t, you know, whatever, fun experiment,” Devine said of her approach to the buttons. Despite this, Bunny ended up being interested in the buttons and took to them quickly, Devine said, adding that Bunny will initiate conversations throughout the day. “If she’s eager and if she’s over at the buttons and looking at me and making eye contact, I’ll go over there and we’ll dialogue a little bit and I’ll ask her questions,” she said. “But we don’t do big, long, directed half-hourlong training sessions or anything like that with

the buttons.” So how does Bunny learn to use the buttons? Devine said a lot of it is from repetition. Normally when Devine adds words, she’s already using the word in conversation with Bunny. The hope, she said, is that Bunny has already built an association with that word. Then, to help her learn the button’s position on the tiles, Devine will repeat the word and reinforce the behavior after Bunny presses a button. For example, their first button said “outside.” They put it by the door, and every time they would go outside, Devine would press the button, then say the word “outside,” and let Bunny out. “It’s basically just hundreds of tiny reinforcements over time with each button and then each combination of

buttons,” she said. Going by Devine’s videos, Bunny can also make sentences – well, her version of sentences. Devine said Bunny learns where the buttons are located through muscle memory and through the sound of the button, kind of like how a pianist can play a song without looking at the keys. So, for example, if she wants to play tug, she’ll hit the buttons for “play,” “tug” and “now.” If you’re skeptical as to whether or not Bunny actually knows what she’s saying, rather than randomly pressing buttons, Devine is with you. She said she has moments of skepticism all the time. “It seems to me, for her to have a full comprehension of all this it would, should, take years,” she said. However, Devine

said it sometimes really seems like Bunny has a clear understanding of what her owner is saying. For example, during the interview, as Devine was talking about her skepticism, Bunny pressed the buttons for the words “cat,” “friend” and “outside” because she saw a cat outside, Devine said. But other times, it seems more random – and Devine thinks it’s important to remain skeptical. “It’s very, very up and down for me,” she said. “I’ve always sort of considered myself a hopeful skeptic. I think it’s going to take a lot more time and a lot more research to know exactly what’s going on and how much comprehension actually exists.” Devine is part of a research study looking at sound-button-based language learning, sponsored by CleverPet, at the University of California, San Diego. The program is led by Trottier and Federico Rossano, director of the university’s comparative cognition lab. Trottier said they are trying to determine the depth of language use and understanding, primarily by dogs. All the evidence that the test group has collected at this point is anecdotal, Devine said. “There’s no concrete evidence, either way,” she said. “I think it’s important to sort of be on the fence about it and not try to make wild claims in either direction, but the journey is super, super fascinating.” While Devine and Bunny have fun with the buttons, Devine said they communicate great without them and that they do all of the normal things dogs and humans do together. “I don’t want to take away any of her dog-ness,” Devine said. “The buttons are super interesting and they may give us more indepth insight into what’s going on inside of a dog’s mind, but she already has all the tools she needs to communicate.”

I found a few new “I think, but species that hadn’t I’m not positive, been found before.” that I found it at borodenko Along with Salmon River other members of State Forest,” Borodenko the Connecticut Valley said of the find that led to

a mushroom in her name. The forest, located in Colchester, Conn., is a perfect habitat for a variety of mushrooms, and of the destinations of Borodenko’s frequent mushroom-hunting expeditions. Borodenko brought the new species, dubbed “Amanita borodenkoae,” to Rod Tullos, a member of the North American Mycological Association and an expert in the family of mushroom-forming fungi known as Amanitaceae. “It’s a brand new find, which he determines by examining it and through microscopic lenses and all kinds of other ways that he has, which is more scientific than I am,” Bordodenko said. She brought the species to Tulloss at a mushroom conference the two attended this year. “He recognized my sort of skill at finding these strange species,” Borodenko said. Growing up in Danbury and Brookfield, Borodenko came from a family

Mycological Society, she regularly hunts for mushrooms to learn, collect, identify and exchange mushroom recipes. “I’ve been doing this for my whole life, and I’m 80 so, that’s a lot of water under the bridge there,” Borodenko said. “All of my grandparents were from Eastern Europe, where mushrooms have been a staple for survival over there. We used to go out mushrooming when I was

a kid, and I just continued.” Over the years, Gloria Long has been impressed with her friend’s commitment to mushrooms. “She’s just so dedicated,” Long said. “She was always out in nature, and she always loved mushrooms, as well as everything in nature.” Borodenko looks forward to mushroom hunting every Sunday between May and November. The members of the group help to properly

identify different mushroom species and keep a record of their findings. “We bring our finds back and name them and list them and keep records for Connecticut, for each state park and all that,” Borodenko said. Sometimes the mushrooms are brought to her. “People come to my door with mushrooms and then I identify them,” Borodenko explained.

“Usually, they give them to me to keep because a lot of people don’t know as much as I know about them.” Borodenko and other mycologists also prepare various exotic meals with the mushrooms they find. “There are hundreds and hundreds of species of mushrooms and I, myself, have eaten 120 different species, so I can’t exactly pick one that I would recommend,” she said.
