Supes to decide on Solano360 master developer Staff schedules update on wildfire recovery efforts Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors will receive an update on the Solano360 project and consider whether to enter into exclusive negotiations with Industrial Realty Group/Jones Land LaSalle as the master developer. The board meets at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the first-floor chamber of the government center, 675 Texas St., in Fairfield. The Solano360 Implementation Committee unanimously endorsed Industrial Realty Group/ Jones Land LaSalle after a presentation on its vision for reinventing the county fairgrounds in Vallejo into a destination and entertainment hub. It includes moving the county fair footprint at the site, but also includes the development of new facilities for the fair’s use. The group is also closely linked to 6 Flags Discovery Kingdom, a

high priority for the committee, and especially the members who represent Vallejo. The project does include residential elements, what the committee, at least, has come to accept as a necessary revenue piece to make the rest of the commercial and entertainment elements work. The Board of Supervisors also is scheduled to receive an update on the LNU Lightning Complex Fire recovery efforts. The 17th annual Counties Care Holiday Food Fight gauntlet is also expected to be thrown down at the board dais. The event is a friendly challenge with Contra Costa County, funds from which go to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano.
Trump emerges to boast of new Covid vaccine Pressure builds for him to concede to Biden Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday took credit for a promising coronavirus vaccine while ignoring the escalating death toll as the pandemic tears through the country faster than ever before. The president spoke in the White House Rose Garden just after media outlets called the election results in the final two states – Georgia for President-elect Joe Biden and North Carolina for Trump – bringing the projected Electoral College vote to 306-232 for Biden. Four years ago, Trump was on the winning side of a similar Electoral College margin. The president, who with his allies has continued to allege vote fraud, did not address the election outcome or take questions from reporters. Instead he focused on the potential vaccine, which, if approved for distribution, could be

FAIRFIELD — Thanksgiving dinner came early for some this year as the Mount Calvary Baptist Church Evangelistic Compassion Ministry provided a drive-thru supper Saturday. The church ministry has provided a Thanksgiving dinner for hundreds of homeless and low-income families for more than 45 years. Covid-19 has thrown a wrench in the plans of many families this year, but the church managed to roll with the changes. “With Covid we had to get creative,� said Tony Adams, the evangelism/mission division director for the church. “People will get hot food See Dinner, Page A9

WINTERS — The boards were pulled at the Los Rios Check Dam and the earthen dam at the Road 106A crossing was broken down this week, allowing salmon to return to Putah Creek. Officials are eager to see this year’s spawn because it is possible that those born during the
1,700-fish run in 2017 could be returning. The early signs are good, but Rich Marovich cautioned the official count will not be completed until January.

The only two highlights were my friend Dana visiting me to watch the baseball All-Star Game and my dad taking me out to play nine holes of golf. The only things I could drink were water and what was then called Sugar Free 7-Up (which later became Diet 7-Up), both out of Styrofoam cups. I’ve never embraced Diet 7-Up because it reminds me of bad times. At 14, there were, as far as I knew, three diet sodas: Sugar Free 7-Up, Fresca and Tab. (Research indicates Diet Rite also existed, but I was blissfully ignorant of that.) Since I resented Diet 7-Up,
my choices were Fresca and Tab and there was no comparison: Citrus-flavored Fresca was OK, but Tab was a cola. It was Diet Coke before Diet Coke existed. For a teenage diabetic, Tab was the only soda worth drinking. It was my only cool soda. I drank a fair amount, then other diet sodas emerged (or I became aware of them). Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi became things. Knockoff brands (Shasta, Cragmont, etc.) had diet sodas. Ultimately, I was OK with most diet drinks. Now I drink whatever brand is available (I may be the only living person without an opinion in the Coke vs. Pepsi debate). I haven’t had a Tab for years. I presumed it had been
11-year-old beats cancer – twice Tribune Content Agency DETROIT — There is a tradition in pediatric oncology centers across the country. When a child is done with cancer treatment, they can ring a ceremonious bell, surrounded by friends, family and hospital staff. On Friday afternoon, 11-year-old Pedro Martinez was able to ring that bell outside of Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit after twice beating cancer. Pedro was diagnosed in July 2017 with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow and the most common type of cancer in children. After receiving chemotherapy, it seemed like Pedro was better until he relapsed in December 2018. “At the beginning, when they told us that he had leukemia, it was obviously something that no one wants to hear. That your son has cancer,” Pedro’s mother, Leticia Martinez, said. “But the second time – knowing what he went through the first time and now knowing that he had to go again . . . Just seeing him go through it, it was really hard. Really, really hard.” Meret Henry, Pedro’s doctor at Children’s Hospital, said close to 90% of children who had Pedro’s type of cancer are able to recover. Pedro continued to receive intensive chemotherapy until remission. Then he had a bone marrow transplant “which really has only been done in the last few years” in July 2019, his donor being his father. But then Pedro hit another issue. There was a complication after his bone marrow transplant that affected his skin, an issue the doctors dealt with for

Pedro, 11, and his parents Leticia and Juan Martinez, watch cars filled with family and friends drive by after he rang the bell to signify his recovery from cancer, outside the Michigan Children’s Hospital in Detroit, Nov. 6. He was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2017 and started receiving chemotherapy. Shortly after, he experienced a relapse and received a bone marrow transplant from his father. quite some time. During all of this, Pedro spent months in the hospital. Not able to go to school or see his friends. When he was allowed to leave, he had regularly return to Children’s Hospital. Back and forth, back and forth. Bone marrow transplant recipients are at high risk of infection, leaving Pedro’s parents and family to become vigilant about isolation and exposure. When the coronavirus pandemic broke out in Michigan, Leticia Martinez’s nervousness shot up. She and her family stayed in their southwest Detroit home and limited visitors. Everything was kept clean. “Every time I would go grocery shopping, I had to clean everything. Wash everything. I was just very cautious about what was coming in the house because I really did not want him getting sick,” she said. Doctors were concerened too. Henry reminded her patients’ families to stay alert and limit outside exposure, noting that patients were already familiar with isolation before the pandemic. Doctors continued to wear
protective gear, masks and shields during all patient interactions. But Pedro was a resilient kid, Henry said. “We sort of call him our ray of sunshine because he’s always positive. He always has a smile on his face,” Henry said. “He is a math whiz, he’s a wonderful student.” “Even throughout this very difficult time, Pedro would come to see us and he’d be smiling.” Then, a month ago, Henry delivered the good news: Pedro was in remission and it was time for him to ring the bell. Martinez cried. “Finally, to hear those words, ‘Your son is done with treatment.’ It . . . was surreal. I was extremely happy,” she said, adding she was grateful for Children’s Hospital staff, from nurses to doctors to those who cleaned the room. The bell is usually inside the hospital. But this year, it was moved outside to allow for a socially distance celebration. About 40 people came to Pedro’s bell-ringing Friday afternoon. Even camera crews from the news media came, which

Friends and family drove by in a parade of cars, cheering and yelling for him. Some held posters and wrote encouraging messages on their cars. Hospital staff, even those who didn’t work there anymore, were also present to wish him well for the future. When the family got home, an ending to a difficult journey, Martinez turned to her son and asked him what he thought about seeing everyone that day. “He was like, ‘Mama, I was so happy,’” Martinez described. “‘Mom, I feel so loved.

Officials to submit appeal against returning Solano to ‘purple’ tier
Solano releases Covid-19 holiday safety guidance
Todd R. Hansen
Todd R. Hansen
FAIRFIELD — Dr. Bela Matyas notified the state Friday of his intention to submit an appeal to show why Solano County should not be returned to the most-restrictive purple tier despite high case and positivity testing numbers. The formal appeal will be filed next week, Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview Friday. The adjudication of the appeal, if not outright denied, would give the county at least one more week in the less-restrictive red tier. That would put Nov. 24 as the new deadline date – two days before Thanksgiving. “It is possible that (the state) will deny the appeal and we could go back to (purple) next week,” Matyas said. California’s colorcoded monitoring system designates the purple tier for counties where transmission of the novel coronavirus is considered to be widespread. Shutdown orders for counties in the purple tier are the most severe. 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
FAIR F IELD — Anyone planning to throw a holiday party should tell guests they are expected to follow Covid-19 safety guidelines. Among those is not to attend any gathering with anyone who has Covid-19 or has matyas been exposed to someone with Covid-19 in the past 14 days. “The Covid-19 pandemic has been stressful and isolating for many people. Gatherings during the upcoming holidays can be an opportunity to reconnect with

red, red to orange and orange to yellow. Again, Solano County will make the case that regressing to “purple” hurts businesses most, and businesses are not contributing to the surge in which the daily case average has been nearly 85 for more than a week. F r iday ’s update reported 133 new cases, bringing the total to 8,729. The seven-day positivity testing rate, another key metric used to determine a county’s tier status, remained above 10%,
well above the “purple” threshold of 8%. Matyas said he is concerned about Thanksgiving and the winter holidays that follow because, unlike Halloween from which new infections were largely in younger residents, the other holidays are multigenerational celebrations that could expose older and more frail family members. The county has experienced that during Mother’s Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. Because the latest surge has involved younger residents, the number of people requiring hospitalization has been reasonably low. “Fortunately, the hospitals are coping fine,” Matyas said.
Measles cases rise globally, to include 27-year high in US Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — Measles claimed more than 207,500 lives worldwide in 2019, the highest number of deaths in 32 years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a World Health Organization report this week, which indicated the mortality rate had risen globally by nearly 50% since 2016. “We are concerned that Covid-19 will contribute to an increase in the number of measles cases and deaths. Measles knows no borders, and it is imperative we work together to vaccinate more children and continue the fight against this preventable disease,” Gail McGovern, president and chief execu-
tive officer of the American Red Cross, said in a statement released by the CDC. The World Health Organization and UNICEF on Nov. 6 issued an emergency call to action for
measles and polio outbreak prevention and response. “We know how to prevent measles outbreaks and deaths,” Dr. Tedros
But with the additional pressure of the flu season, and a possible spike in holiday-related Covid-19 cases, the county is watching the hospital capacity closely. “The flu is simmering quietly,” Matyas said. “We are in the early stages of the flu season.” The number of residents with Covid-19 in the hospitals as of Friday was reported at 40, up five from Thursday and the highest it has been since Aug. 23 when there were 41 hospitalized. Solano County will use federal CARES Act money to add a Covid-19 public testing facility next week in Fairfield, which would be open through the end of See Purple, Page A5

Unfor tunately, the Covid-19 epidemic is worsening, and small household gatherings are an important contributor to the rise in Covid-19 cases,” the county stated in its Holiday Safety Guidance.

from measles. “The last large outbreak of measles in California was associated with Disneyland and occurred from December 2014 to April 2015, when at least 131 California residents were infected with measles; the outbreak also infected residents of six other states, Mexico, and Canada,” the CDC reported. Vaccines are the primary weapon against measles, but the World Health Organization reports the immunization programs (MCV1 and MCV2) are lagging behind necessary levels. The organization reports, as of November, more than 94 million people are at risk of
missing vaccines due to delayed or canceled measles campaigns in 26 countries – largely due to Covid-19. “Before there was a coronavirus crisis, the world was grappling with a measles crisis, and it has not gone away,” said Henrietta Fore, UNICEF executive director, said in the statement. “While health systems are strained by the Covid-19 pandemic, we must not allow our fight against one deadly disease to come at the expense of our fight against another. This means ensuring we have the resources to continue immunization campaigns for all vaccinepreventable diseases, even as we address the growing Covid-19 pandemic.”
Do not attend a gathering if: n A nyone in household has Covid-19like symptoms. n A person is at a higher risk of severe illness from Covid-19 due to age or medical conditions. Those who fall into this category should consider attending virtually instead.

Measles
across seven states, the CDC reported. There have been no measles cases in Solano County for the past couple of years, but because of Covid-19 and schools being closed to incoming kindergartners, the Public Health Division is trying to catch up on vaccinations. “That actually has contributed to . . . undervaccination,” said Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, “but we haven’t seen any accompanying disease, yet.” “In the decade before 1963 when a vaccine became available, nearly all children got measles by the time they were 15 years of age,” the CDC reported. An estimated 3 million to 4 million people in the United States were infected each year, and between 400 to 500 people died, 48,000 were hospitalized and 1,000 suffered encephalitis – or the swelling of the brain –
From Page A3 Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, said in a statement. “These data send a clear message that we are failing to protect children from measles in every region of the world. We must collectively work to support countries and engage communities to reach everyone, everywhere with measles vaccine and stop this deadly virus.” Measles cases worldwide increased to 869,770 in 2019, of which 1,282 were in the United States, the highest number since 1992. The cases were found in 31 states, with 73 in California. There were no deaths in the country. As of Oct. 15, there were 12 cases reported

Hudson up by 3 votes over Alder for 2nd of 2 seats Glen Faison
gfaison@dailyrepublic.net
SUISUN CITY — Former councilman Mike Hudson has a lead of three votes over former police chief Thomas D. Alder for the second of two City Council seats based on updated vote counts released Friday. A lma Hernandez remains in the overall lead in the four-candidate field with 33.36% of the updated tally, the Solano County Elections Office reports. Hudson has 22.64% – 4,194 votes – to Alder’s 22.63% – 4,191 votes. Appointed councilman Anthony Adams is fourth with 21.37% – 233 votes behind Alder. Hudson and Alder were tied for a time based on early results posted on Election Day and have since gone back and forth as additional votes have been counted in the Suisun City contest. The two were tied once again Thursday. Vote totals in all contests are unofficial as the ballot counts continue at the Solano County Elections Office in downtown Fairfield.
Fairfield City Council Updated counts in Fairfield show that two newcomers and one veteran councilman remain on track to earn seats on the Fairfield City Council in its first-ever district-based election. Scott Tonnesen maintains his lead over Raymond Courtemanche for the new District 2 seat on the council. Tonnesen’s leads with 50.89% of the vote as of the end of the day Friday, the elections office Courtemanreports. che has 49.11% – 80 votes back with the 4,494 ballots

That will be in addition to the current sites at the McBride Senior Center in Vacaville, and at the Norman King Community Center in Vallejo. They will remain in place through April. Matyas said the county also is looking to increase its mobile testing capacity, add to its own lab capacity and be able to issue up to 500 testing kits around the county. He said the additional testing capacity could be especially helpful for schools. The number of deaths attributed at least in part to Covid-19 remained at 79 in Friday’s update, with active cases climbing another 34 cases to 715, a number that reflects testing while still in the 10-day contagious stage. Fairfield added 30 cases to increase its total to 2,743. Vallejo, now at 2,804, had 31 new cases. The most new cases were reported in Vacaville, the count for which rose 40 cases to 1,679, the country reported. The 15 new cases in Suisun City took the total to 619, and seven more cases in Dixon took its count to 556. There were five new cases reported in Benicia (229) and in Rio Vista (72), while the unincorporated area had no new cases and holds at 27. The total number of completed tests was 114,363, up 875 from Thursday. When repeated tests from care facilities and other outbreak locations are included, the number climbs to more than 155,000, Matyas said. Solano County does not report updated totals on weekends, so the next update is expected late Monday afternoon.

Deadline approaches for Solano wildfire victims to submit cleanup access forms Daily Republic Staff
drnews@dailyrepublic.net
VACAVILLE — A deadline is approaching for some of the people who had property damaged or destroyed by the wildfire in August to take part in a free cleanup program. Residential properties with structures destroyed or significantly damaged by the LNU Lightning Complex fire may now participate in the government-sponsored private property fire debris removal program being offered by the state to ensure properties are left free of hazardous waste and fire debris. Property owners who would like to participate in the program are encouraged to submit a completed Right of Entry (ROE) form with supporting documents to the Department of Resource Management by Wednesday to facilitate the state beginning the cleanup work by Dec. 1, the Sheriff’s Office reports. Cleanup has been underway for several weeks since a wildfire forced thousands of people in mid-August to flee from their homes in rural Solano County, Vacaville and Fairfield. The LNU Lightning Complex Fire started early Aug. 17 in Napa County and ultimately surrounded Lake Berryessa. The Hennessey Fire, the largest fire of the LNU complex that ultimately scorched portions of six counties, is the fire that burned into Solano County late Aug. 18 and early Aug. 19. Six people died as a result of the fire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports. Five people were injured, including one first responder. A total of 309 single-family homes were destroyed by the fire in rural Solano County. A total of 1,491 structures were destroyed across the larger fire complex.

Police seek info on Trump supporters, far-right groups shooting, provide rally to protest election results victim update Tribune Content Agency
Daily Republic Staff

VALLEJO — Police continued their investigation Friday into a shooting that left a woman hospitalized and fighting for her life. The shooting was reported shortly after 5:35 p.m. Thursday in the area of the 3600 block of Georgia Street. More calls came in during the initial police response, including reports of a shooting victim on the 100 block of Cot-
tonwood Drive. Officers who arrived at the scene found a 21-yearold Richmond woman who had been shot at least once. She was transported to a local hospital with what police described Thursday night as lifethreatening injuries. She remained hospitalized Friday in grave condition, police report. Her name has not been released. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Detective Scott A. Yates at 648-4533.
NHC expects Iota to rapidly develop into hurricane Tribune Content Agency FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — This has already been the most active hurricane season in recorded history, but 2020 isn’t done yet. Tropical Storm Iota formed Friday afternoon in the Caribbean Sea, the National Hurricane Center said. Iota is the 30th tropical system this year, and its forecast to intensify rapidly into a hurricane as it tracks toward Central America. By the time it makes landfall, Iota could be a major hurricane with wind speeds near 110 mph, a life-threatening storm surge and flooding rains in Nicaragua and Honduras, the hurricane center said in
its forecast discussion. Named after the ninth letter of the Greek alphabet, Iota (pronounced ee-oh-tah), isn’t expected to take the same turn to the north that Eta did before hitting Florida earlier this week. It could, however, make the journey into the Pacific Ocean, become a rare crossover storm that gets renamed. At 10 a.m. Saturday, Tropical Storm Iota was 370 miles southsoutheast of Kingston, Jamaica, and was crawling west-southwest at 5 mph. Iota’s maximum sustained winds are 40 mph. Tropical stormforce winds extend outward up to 90 miles from the center, the hurricane center said.
WASHINGTON — When the 2020 presidential election was called for Joe Biden and thousands of his supporters gathered at barricades around the White House to celebrate, President Donald Trump wasn’t there to hear it. He was at a golf course in Virginia. Not a “MAGA� hat or “Trump-Pence� sign could be found, either. But on Saturday, a motley crowd of several thousand Trump supporters, GOP voters, white nationalists, militant groups and conspiracy theorists descended on Pennsylvania Avenue and Freedom Plaza near the White House to voice their support for the president, who has yet to acknowledge his loss to now President-elect Biden. Buoyed by Trump, who drove past and waved at protesters on his way back to the golf club Saturday morning, the “Stop the Steal� march in the nation’s capital echoed the president’s baseless complaints about voter fraud. “We want all of these votes audited and recounted,� one woman attending the march told CNN, holding a sign reading “Stop the Steal� and an American flag, as Queen’s “We Are the Champions� played over loudspeakers in the background. Final projections put Biden, the former vice president, at 306 Electoral College votes, matching Trump’s winning number in 2016. Biden flipped several states that Trump won in 2016, including once ruby-redGeorgia and Arizona. The president’s legal team, now reportedly led

Thousands of supporters participate in the MAGA Million March For Trump at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., Saturday. by personal lawyer and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, may be running out of time as it pursues complaints and lawsuits in several states. Some states will hit legal deadlines this week to finalize their election results, and by law, all recounts and challenges must be finished by Dec. 8. Though almost no legal experts think Trump has
any real chance to change the outcome, the president has been encouraging his supporters to make noise. Emerging Saturday morning from the White House in his own red “MAGA� hat, the presidential limousine weaved through Freedom Plaza as crowds cheered and waved. Many participants poured in from other cities; Biden won nearly
95% of the capital’s vote. Few masks could be seen among the march’s attendees as they moved past the plywood still covering many businesses in downtown Washington that boarded up windows amid the summer’s protests against injustice, and out of a fear of possible election-related violence, which largely hasn’t materialized. A week earlier, when the election was called for Biden, throngs of his supporters gathered outside the White House for an impromptu celebration. Trump officials are ordering agencies to not assist in the transition, even as members of Congress from the president’s party, as well as his own former chief of staff, call for Biden to be given access to crucial intelligence briefings and key resources.

I took the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine: What will It’s a miracle for genetic medicine tax increase advocates do? Walter Isaacson
Special to The Washington Post
P
roposition 15, which would have boosted property taxes on commercial real estate by billions of dollars a year, finally bit the dust last week. It wasn’t a surprise. Although its advocates – unions, mostly – may cite the Covid-19 pandemic and recession as causes for failure, the measure never polled strongly even before the twin crises struck. Their pitch was two-fold – schools and local governments need the money and big commercial property owners benefit from an unfair loophole. The successful counter-argument from business opponents was also a two-fer – if Proposition 15 passed, property owners would shift extra taxes to business tenants and their customers, and it would be the first step toward Dan Walters dismantling Proposition 13, California’s iconic and popular property tax limit. Proposition 15’s rejection creates a dilemma for public employee unions and other spending advocates who ardently believe that despite already having one of the nation’s highest taxation levels, somewhere over 12% of personal income, California governments need much more money. Those advocates enjoy strong support in the overwhelmingly Democratic Legislature, which could simply raise sales, personal income or corporate tax rates without going to voters. Tax increases will no doubt be introduced when the Legislature reconvenes in December since putting a bill in the hopper is a cheap way for a legislator to show solidarity with unions and other pro-tax factions. However, having enough Democratic legislators to pass new taxes and putting up enough votes for specific levies are not the same thing, particularly if they lack gubernatorial support. When Gov. Gavin Newsom endorsed Proposition 15, he pointedly said he would not sanction more bites on his fellow high-income Californians or a “wealth tax,” both of which have been floated in the Capitol. “In a global, mobile economy, now is not the time for the kind of state tax increases on income we saw proposed at the end of this legislative session and I will not sign such proposals into law,” Newsom said. Newsom’s reference to a “global, mobile economy” implies awareness that the state budget is already very dependent on taxing incomes of the wealthy. In fact, the top 1% of taxpayers – about 150,000 in a state of 40 million – generate more than a third of the state’s unrestricted revenues. Hitting them up for more could encourage tax avoidance, such as freezing taxable income from capital gains, or even fleeing to other states. If Newsom and the Legislature won’t act, would advocates risk another ballot measure in 2022? The California School Boards Association and its allies had wanted to put a $15 billion personal and corporate income tax hike on this year’s ballot, but bowed to pressure from Proposition 15’s advocates, particularly the California Teachers Association, to not compete. “After conducting a significant amount of polling and analysis, we have determined that having two measures on the same ballot that – at least in part – provide funding for public schools, risked a scenario where our measure would come up short,” California School Boards Association CEO Vernon Billy said last December as his group backed off. An extra $15 billion a year would raise California’s per-pupil spending to the national average on the way to the education community’s goal of entering the top ranks of states in school support, which would require another $15 billion per year. Those are big numbers and don’t take into account demands from health, social welfare and early childhood education advocates for billions more they want to expand services. Does Proposition 15’s defeat cool the jets of tax increase advocates, or spur them to greater efforts?

‘L
ook me in the eyes,” the doctor ordered, staring at me from behind her plastic faceguard. Her eyes were blue, almost as blue as her hospital mask. Yet, after a moment, I started to turn and face the doctor on my left, who was jabbing a long needle deep into the muscle of my upper arm. “No!” the first doctor snapped. “Look at me!” Then she explained. Because I was part of a double-blind clinical trial of an experimental Covid-19 vaccine, they had to make sure that I didn’t get any clues about whether I was being injected with a real dose or merely a placebo made of saline solution. It was early August, and I had enlisted in the clinical trial for the vaccine that has just reported very promising results: the one developed by Pfizer with the German company BioNTech. It is a new type of RNA vaccine that has never before been deployed. Vaccines work by stimulating a person’s immune system. One traditional approach is to inject a weakened version of the dangerous virus. That’s the way we now fend off measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox. Another method is to use a version of the virus or a part of the virus that has been totally killed. The success of the Pfizer vaccine means that the plague year of 2020 will be remembered as the time when traditional vaccines began to be supplanted by genetic vaccines. Instead of delivering tiny and safe doses of the virus itself, these new vaccines deliver a piece of genetic coding that will instruct human cells to produce, on their own, components of a tar-
geted virus. These safe components can then stimulate the patient’s immune system. It is another wondrous miracle from a biotech revolution in which knowledge of genetic coding will become as important as digital coding and molecules will become the new microchips. I enrolled in the trial at Ochsner Hospital in my hometown of New Orleans partly to be a good citizen but also because I’m writing a book about the gene-editing tool known as CRISPR, and the star molecule in the book is RNA. The vaccine that was developed by Pfizer and BioNTech makes use of the most basic functions that RNA performs: serving as a messenger RNA (mRNA) that carries genetic instructions from DNA, which is bunkered inside a cell’s nucleus, to the manufacturing region of the cell, where it directs what protein to make. In the case of the Covid-19 vaccine, the mRNA instructs cells to make a version of the spike protein that is on the surface of a coronavirus. That spike protein can then stimulate our immune system to create antibodies that will protect against the real coronavirus. In addition to the Pfizer version, the Cambridge, Massachusettsbased company Moderna is also making an mRNA vaccine. When I volunteered, I was told that the study could last two years. That raised a few questions. What would happen, I asked the coordinator, if the vaccine got approved before then? She told me that I would then be “unblinded,” meaning that they would tell me if I had gotten the placebo and, if so, immediately give me the real vaccine. What would happen if some other company’s vaccine got approved while our trial was still under-
way? “That’s not been decided,” she conceded. So, I went to the top. I posed these questions to Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, which is funding and overseeing the vaccine studies. “You have asked a question that is currently engaging the members of the Vaccines Working Group in serious debate,” he replied. Just a few days earlier, a “consultation report” on this issue had been prepared by the Department of Bioethics at NIH. Even before reading the report, I was impressed and comforted that NIH had something called a Department of Bioethics. The report was thoughtful. If you’re in a trial of a vaccine that gets FDA approval, you will immediately be given the real vaccine if you were in the placebo group. If you’re in one trial and another company’s vaccine gets approval, the new vaccine will be offered to those who were in the placebo group. That’s why it’s a good idea to volunteer for clinical trials. The great news about RNA vaccines is that they can easily be reprogrammed. Even after we defeat Covid-19, new viruses will come along. When that happens, it will take only days to code a new RNA sequence to make a vaccine to target the new threat. Tools made with RNA will enable us both to edit our genetic material and to devise easily reprogrammable vaccines. It’s been a miserable pandemic amid an annus horribilus. It’s nice that both appear to be ending with RNA – the fundamental molecule that probably spawned the existence of life on our planet a few billion years ago – giving birth to a new era of biotechnology.

Can any Christian ignore God’s command, as given in the Great Commission, to teach the good news about Jesus Christ? Mathew 28:19 says, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.” The Apostle Paul instructed Timothy to preach the word. 2 Timothy 4:2 says, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” In times like now, we should be telling everyone about Jesus Christ and the hope and peace that is available through him.

Don’t waste our money Matthew 25:43 states: “I was a stranger and you did not invite me in. I needed clothes and you did not clothe me. I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.” Each City Council meeting begins with an invocation where we pray to the lord, Jesus, to guide us. Yet, miraculously, at a City Council meeting this summer, the majority of the council members voted to, effectively, fine, then throw Jesus in jail, all of which is going to cost us, the taxpayer. Ordinance 2020-11 states “. . . there should be minimal or no fiscal impact . . .” Clearly, that’s not accurate. This ordinance fines the houseless, which, in California, can be up to $250. The fourth infraction is a misdemeanor which could result in a jail sentence of up to 364 days or a $1,000 fine. Fining or jailing a houseless person with neither a job nor a residence is like squeezing water from a rock. Moreover, relocating them around the city is like moving an object from one room, in your house, to another. It’s still in the house. The houseless are part of our community, so let’s incorporate them by hiring them to pick up trash. We already have an “adopt-a-street” program of which I’m proud to be a part. Expand it by hiring the houseless. Little Rock, Santa Clara and other cities have done so, successfully. Instead of wasting thousands of our hard-earned taxes storing “bio-hazard” material, as one council member described some

Salmon From Page One coming upstream Nov. 9. He said workers at the check dam watched the fish come through. “It wasn’t a precise count, just an impression that it was more than 20 (salmon),” Marovich said. The 2017 spawn resulted in 30,000 juveniles being trapped and counted in the spring of 2018, with many of those fish getting internal tags that will tell researchers if they return to spawn. “So this year, it could be significant,” Marovich said. Researchers and local officials have been waiting a number of years to get the proof that Putah Creek is generating its own “race” of salmon. The study of the otoliths – a small inner ear bone next to the brain – from fish that have completed their spawn and died have been inconclusive. UC Davis has been doing research for several years. The ultimate question is whether the salmon that have hatched in Putah Creek are coming back
to spawn. Marovich has called the discovery, if it happens, the “holy grail.” Putah Creek experienced three straight record years of fall-run Chinook salmon in the creek. The number was 200 in 2014. That increased to 800 in 2015 and the creek had as many as 2,000 in 2016. The numbers have been on the decline ever since, with a 75% decline in 2018 – maybe 1,500 fish – and just 550 fish were counted in 2019. However, the 2017 count was still strong, and salmon generally stay in the ocean three to four years before returning to spawn. The 2016 spawn also could be in play. In fact, a 45-pound female salmon was found in Putah Creek in 2018, the largest fish ever taken during the research programs. Researchers said that fish likely spent as many as five years in the ocean. But like most of the fish in the creek, it was a hatchery fish. Marovich said they will have a better idea of the early salmon run when the fish get to the diversion dam pool at Lake Solano. “When they realize they can’t go any farther, they will pair up and look for redds down below,” Marovich said.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — Amid a worsening pandemic, as many as half a million people are expected to swarm the Space Coast this weekend for a chance to witness SpaceX’s next crewed mission, only the second time in almost a decade that astronauts will have launched from American soil. The Crew-1 launch of America’s Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker and Japan’s Soichi Noguchi – who for weeks have been quarantining with their families as they complete training – is scheduled for Sunday at 7:27 p.m. from Kennedy Space Center’s 39A launchpad. They’ll take off aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. After a 27-hour ride in the Crew Dragon capsule they have named Resilience, the four of them will reach the International Space Station for

Biologists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Livingston Stone National Fish Hatchery inject a female winter-run Chinook salmon with thiamine. Researchers will gauge whether the vitamin boost is passed on to their offspring to address the risk of thiamine deficiency.
Anchovy From Page One hatcheries in California’s Central Valley observed newly hatched offspring of adult Chinook salmon that spawned in 2019. They were swimming in corkscrew patterns and dying at unusually high rates,” according to an article released by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Infectious disease was eliminated as the cause. “Then, they noticed that a bath of thiamine immediately revived the ailing juveniles,” the article states. “They suspect the problem is linked to a defi-
ciency of thiamine in the returning adult salmon that fed off the coast of central California in 2018 and 2019. This was a time of booming anchovy populations and scarcity of other typical salmon prey,” the article states. “Anchovies produce an enzyme called thiaminase that breaks down thiamine, which typically supports nerve, muscle, and heart function.” Scientists said the situation could be a risk to Chinook stocks, “including endangered winter-run Chinook salmon and the fishery for fall-run Chinook salmon.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service article was written by Michael Milstein.

“We’re very proud of it.” Even as he celebrated, Trump attacked Pfizer for saying its vaccine development effort was independent of the government’s Operation Warp Speed, and slammed New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for setting up a separate state review system to ensure a vaccine’s safety. The president suggested that would delay how soon New Yorkers can get the vaccine. “We won’t be delivering it to New York until we have authorization to do so,” he said. Cuomo blasted Trump in a subsequent appearance on MSNBC: “He uses the government as a retaliatory tool. That’s what he does.” Pfizer announced at the beginning of the week that its vaccine candidate appeared to be 90% effective at preventing Covid-19, and other pharmaceutical companies are developing their own versions. More than 240,000 Americans have died from the disease, and an average of more than 1,000 are dying every day. But Trump has focused almost exclusively on vaccine development rather than advocate for restrictions on gatherings or business that could limit the spread of the virus. In contrast, Biden, who made containing the pandemic a centerpiece of his campaign, said the country needs “a robust and immediate federal response.” “I am the presidentelect, but I will not be president until next year,” he said. “The crisis does not respect dates on the calendar; it is accelerating right now. Urgent action is needed today, now, by the current administration – starting with an acknowledgment
a six-month stay, joining three other astronauts who arrived in October by a Russian Soyuz rocket. They’re slated to return in April, around the same time NASA and SpaceX plan to send up Crew-2. The launch was originally scheduled for Saturday evening but delayed for a day after Tropical Storm Eta delayed transporting the drone ship, a floating landing pad of sorts, that will catch the rocket’s reusable booster. SpaceX plans to reuse the booster for the Crew-2 mission. “For NASA and SpaceX, this booster is very important to us,” said Benji Reed, SpaceX’s senior director for human spaceflight. “Fundamentally, this was an issue of getting the drone ship there in time.” The postponement means a longer trip inside the capsule of 27 hours instead of eight, said NASA’s commercial crew program manager
Steve Stitch. That will give the crew extra time, he said, to see how the spacecraft accommodates four people instead of two, and sleep before docking at the ISS. If the launch is delayed again, the next opportunity to launch isn’t until Wednesday. Before the delay, Don Walker, Brevard County’s communications director, said the tourism office “guesstimated” about 250,000 locals and another 250,000 out-of-towners will show up to watch the launch in person. The Titusville Police Department warned of heavy traffic and road closures, including detours southbound for those watching south of Harrison Street and northbound for those north of it. The Florida Highway Patrol recommended that drivers avoid State Road 528, U.S. Highway 1 and A1A, and instead take State Roads 46, 520, 50 and U.S. Highway 192.
Spectators should arrive early, at least a few hours before launch time. In May, when Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken launched from Kennedy Space Center, ending a nine-year drought without crewed launches from the U.S., NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine urged space fans to watch from home. However, Brevard Sheriff Wayne Ivey encouraged people to come, saying “ NASA has got their guidelines and I got mine.” The result was crowds of people packed into parks, along the beach and across the Max Brewer Bridge in Titusville. Chief of NASA’s human spaceflight program, Kathy Lueders, said she expects a large turnout again. And while the agency wants “folks to celebrate with us,” she also urged spectators to wear face masks and adhere to social-distancing to prevent further spread of the coronavirus.
ing and other needs for those who are homeless. They expected to serve 200 people this year. “Some cars will have, like, five people inside so we give a box to each person, so it might be more than 200,” Adams said. Alonzo Brown is one of the many volunteers who went out and canvassed Fairfield, handing out flyers. “It seems like there is more homeless every time I go out,” he said. “I just want to do something to give back and bless them.” Volunteer Jackie Snowden has been a part of the church since
2004, helping with the Thanksgiving meals for three years. “We usually have tables and people come and sit to eat,” she said. “It’s only because of Covid we are doing things this way this year. It’s good that we can reach out to everybody still.” Edwin and Juliana Frazier of Fairfield drove out and waited in line for two meals. “This is beautiful,” Edwin Frazier said. “The Covid has upset everything but not this. People are still trying to look out for each other.” Frazier said he has
faith that things will start looking up. “Maybe this happened for a reason,” he said. “People are helping each other and holding each other up. Still, people care and it’s all about human life.” Mount Calvary Baptist Church serves meals every Thursday for the homeless or anyone in need of a meal. The church plans to do a Christmas drive-thru dinner and provide meals for the children of incarcerated parents in the coming weeks.
of how serious the current situation is.” Biden said Americans need to continue social distancing, washing their hands and wearing masks to limit the spread of the virus. Trump has vented for days on Twitter, spreading conspiracy theories about computer software changing vote totals and falsely accusing Democrats of somehow rigging the election. During his remarks, Trump at one point seemed about to acknowledge Biden’s victory by urging the next administration not to lock down the economy to stop the coronavirus. Catching himself, Trump added, “Who knows which administration it will be. I guess time will tell.” Trump and Republicans have been challenging the results in several states, but none of those efforts has suggested wrongdoing on a scale that would change the election results in those states and judges have been openly skeptical of the Trump campaign’s cases. The campaign withdrew one suit in Arizona because the number of disputed votes was insufficient to overcome Biden’s lead. In Michigan, a judge harshly rejected Republicans’ request to block certification of the vote, calling the allegations “incorrect and not credible.” And in Pennsylvania, the law firm representing Trump said late Thursday it would no longer handle a federal lawsuit there; Biden leads by nearly 64,000 votes and Pennsylvania’s secretary of state said Friday there would not be a recount. Trump allies are continuing to push on other fronts, including in Georgia, which will conduct a recount. Biden won a narrow victory – a breakthrough in a once reliably Republican state. Marc E. Elias, a Democratic election law expert who worked with the Biden
campaign, said he was confident that the Georgia recount, which is due to be completed Wednesday, would not change the outcome. “Ballots will be recounted, the totals will remain largely the same and that will put that to rest,” he said in a conference call with reporters. Biden is pressing ahead with policy and personnel planning, including low-key outreach to Republicans. But his advisers are expressing growing concern about Trump’s decision to block much of his administration from cooperating with his successor’s transition team. Trump officials have refused to give Biden access to the daily intelligence briefings usually provided to a presidentelect, or to provide funding through the General Services Administration that typically goes to the election winner to cover transition costs from office rental to supplies. Biden aides said Trump was putting the country’s national security and future pandemic response at risk. “We’re not interested in having a food fight with the GSA administrator or anyone,” said Jen Psaki, a Biden transition adviser, in a press briefing Friday. “We just want to get access to intelligence information, to threat assessments, to the ongoing work on Covid so that we can prepare to govern.” Trump’s own former chief of staff called on the administration to give Biden access to national security and intelligence information. “You lose a lot if the transition is delayed because the new people are not allowed to get their head in the game,” John F. Kelly said Friday in an interview with Politico. “The president, with all due respect, does not have to concede. But it’s about the nation. It hurts our national security because the people who
should be getting (up to speed), it’s not a process where you go from zero to 1,000 miles per hour.” In the first week since the race was called for Biden on Nov. 7, he has taken several steps to move forward on transition planning. He named Ron Klain, a longtime adviser and veteran Democratic strategist across more than three decades, as White House chief of staff. He formed a task force to develop plans for confronting the coronavirus crisis once he is sworn in. He announced dozens of people to help plan the transition at major agencies. And he has taken phone calls from numerous foreign leaders and consulted with Democratic leaders in Congress. In an interview Thursday on MSNBC, Klain said Biden had also been consulting with Republicans, but would not name them. One contact Biden has made is Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who won a hard-fought battle for re-election in the face of fierce Democratic opposition. A Collins spokeswoman said Biden called her last week to congratulate her on her victory, a call first reported by Politico. Klain and Psaki both said Biden had not yet talked to the Republican who is likely to be his biggest obstacle in Congress, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Biden and McConnell served in the Senate together for years and, while Biden was vice president, they negotiated some major legislative deals. But McConnell has not yet acknowledged Biden’s victory, backing Trump in his refusal to concede. Psaki said there was no rush to get them together. “Whenever they do engage they won’t have to play a lot of catch-up,” she said. “They probably know each other’s family members’ names.”

THE MASTERS
Johnson aims to avoid another final-round collapse Tribune Content Agency AUGUSTA, Ga. — Even though he’s in position to win his first Masters with a four-shot lead heading into the final day, Dustin Johnson knows better than to exhale. Ten years ago, he had a three-shot lead after three rounds of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach . . . then blew up with an abysmal 82 on Sunday. In the 2015 U.S. Open
at Chambers Bay, he was tied atop the leaderboard after three rounds, yet three-putted No. 18 with a chance to force a playoff. And at the PGA Championship at Harding Park in August, he went to bed Saturday night with a one-shot lead but was overtaken Sunday by Collin Morikawa. So even though Johnson shot a bogey-free 65 on Saturday and tied the 54-hole record for the Masters, he
still has to slam the door. “If I can play like I did today, I think it will break that streak,” said Johnson, the world’s No. 1 player who missed just two greens Saturday. “Tomorrow, it’s just 18 holes of golf. I need to go out and play solid. I feel like I’m swinging really well. If I can just continue to give myself a lot of looks at birdie, I think I’ll have a good day.” There’s a relentless efficiency to Johnson, who is
as steady as his stoic personality. That allowed him to pull away from the traffic jam in a tournament where, at one point Saturday, nine players were tied for the lead at nine under. After a par on the first hole Saturday, Johnson went eagle, birdie, birdie, and never looked back. The only greens he missed were the par-three 12th, where he landed on the back fringe, and No. 18, where his approach shot
went right of the green. In both cases he was able to save par. “With the conditions being soft, you can be really aggressive no matter what club you have in your hand, as long as you feel comfortable with how far you’re going to fly it,” he said. “I feel like the golf course is in really good condition just with all the rain, it’s just so soft. So you’ve got to be aggressive and you’ve got to

Nevada’s Strong, Talton receive honors after big win over USU VACAVILLE — He didn’t plan on it, but University of Nevada quarterback Carson Strong scored the first two points for Utah State last week. After Strong was sacked in the end zone for a safety, the Aggies added a touchdown to take a 9-0 lead. Then the game belonged to Strong and Wolf Pack. The Will C.

only to have the Warriors (4-3-3, 4-3-3 GPAC) tie it up with goals in the 58th and 90th minutes. Concordia also earned a 5-0 win over Presentation, while Midland mauled St. Mary, 8-1.

Stanford’s 12-game home-opening win streak snapped in 35-32 loss to Colorado Tribune Content Agency From the cardboard cutouts of celebrities and trees replacing fans in the seats to the national anthem and halftime show being played virtually on the scoreboard, nothing felt quite normal in Stanford’s home opener Saturday afternoon. Especially the score. The Cardinal dropped a home opener for the first time since 2007, snapping a 12-game streak with a 35-32 loss to Colorado on The Farm that didn’t feel that close until a frantic fourth quarter offered some hope for a miracle comeback. “Nobody is ever going to question our fight and toughness. We stayed it in until the end. We came back and fought really hard to get back into it, but it was just too little, too late,” Stanford head coach David
Shaw said. “This team is talented, but that doesn’t matter. We have to play better, and we have to play better for an entire season. There’s no coronavirus to blame. There’s nothing else to blame. We can play better, and we must play better.” Behind Karl Dorrell, Colorado’s third head coach in three seasons, the Buffaloes (2-0) looked way better than a team picked to finish fifth in the six-team Pac-12 South. Converted safety Sam Noyer, who hadn’t played quarterback in five years before last week, and running back Jarek Broussard, who is back from two anterior cruciate ligament injuries, gave the Cardinal fits. For Stanford (0-2), chances for a bounce-back season from last year’s injury-plagued 4-8 campaign are quickly slipping away in the Pac-12’s truncated seven-game
slate. The Cardinal host Washington State at 8 p.m. next weekend, which must feel like a lightning-quick turnaround for a program searching for answers. Some of the answers could have come from quarterback Davis Mills and Connor Wedington, who both returned after missing last weekend’s loss at Oregon because of third-party coronavirus testing protocol errors. But the duo looked as you might expect after being isolated and held out of practice most of the week before the conference apologized for the error Friday. Mills completed 31 of 56 passes for 327 yards and a touchdown, with much of that being compiled after Stanford was chasing a twoscore deficit in the fourth quarter. See Stanford, Page A12
The 49ers and Saints are both coming off nationally televised games. One team was putrid. The other was ready for prime time. And after the 49ers looked nothing like the defending NFC champions ( Packers 34, 49ers 17) and the Saints resembled the next Super Bowl champion (Saints 38, Buccaneers 3), the NFL community and oddsmakers have a decent idea of what will happen when they meet Sunday in New Orleans. The Saints (6-2) are 10-point favorites, making the 49ers a double-digit underdog for the first time in 35 visits to the Superdome dating to 1975. The 49ers were 7 1/2 -point underdogs before a 30-27 road loss to the Saints on Sept. 19, 2004, according to Pro Football Reference. “I know no one’s giving us a shot,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said. “You always want to prove people wrong, and we know it’s going to be a big challenge.” Meanwhile, Saints head coach Sean
Payton wanted his players to quickly move on from a performance that’s inspired ongoing chatter about his team’sw championship chances: New Orleans led Tampa Bay, a trendy Super Bowl pick, 28-0 after less than 22 minutes. “We try to give that game 24 hours,” Payton said. “And when it’s over, it’s over.” The 49ers (4-5) will be returning to New Orleans for the first time since their 48-46 win in December. In that instant classic, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw four touchdown passes, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders had 157 receiving yards, running back Raheem Mostert and wide r e c eiver D e eb o Samuel each had 109 total yards and tight end George Kittle had a 39-yard, fourthdown catch that set up the game-winning field goal. On Sunday, only one of those players – Sanders – will be on the field as Garoppolo (ankle), Mostert (ankle), Samuel (hamstring) and Kittle (foot) are out with injuries. See 49ers, Page A12
Raiders’ home field has yet to be an advantage with Broncos up next Tribune Content Agency In the Covid-19 era, the home-field advantage in the NFL isn’t what it used to be.

The R a iders are 1-2 at Allegiant Stadium and 4-1 on the road. Denver, one of their AFC West rivals, is 2-2 on the road and 1-2 at home. When Tennessee lost a home game to Indianapolis on Thursday night, it dropped home teams to 65-68-1 on the season, the lowest percentage in the last 19 years. From the time the NFL expanded to 32 teams in 2002, home teams have won 57 percent of the time. “This whole experience is like the twilight zone,” Raiders coach Jon Gruden said Friday in a video conference. “Everything’s different, from the way we travel, the way
we operate. It’s certainly different playing a home game. I don’t know what the statistics are — that’s the first I’ve heard of that. We’ve got to play better in Vegas, I know that.” Allegiant Stadium is one of 13 venues that is not allowing fans at games (the Meadowlands and SoFi Stadium are closed to fans and each hosts two teams). Of the 17 teams that are allowing fans, the maximum capacity ranges from family and friends gatherings of 250 (Detroit and Minnesota) to as many as 20,000 in Dallas at 25 percent capacity. The deafening roar which can rattle opposing offenses is either a muffle or non-existent, replaced with recorded fan noise. To players, it may as well be elevator music. “Right now without the fans, everything is just kind of like an even playing field,” Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said. “There’s no See Raiders, Page A11

Raiders: Handed Chiefs their only loss From Page A10 noise aspect, no hostile environment. But it’s very important that we take care of business at home because we want to protect that place.� In the AFC West, the Kansas City Chiefs’ only loss came to the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium, which allows a maximum of 16,000 fans and has long been considered one of the toughest places to play. The Los Angeles Chargers fell to 1-3 at home after losing to the Raiders, the same record they have on the road. T he  B a lt i mor e Ravens are 2-2 at home and 4-0 on the road. The 49ers are 1-4 at home and 3-1 on the road. Raiders owner Mark Davis decided before the season began it would be all or nothing with fans so he wouldn’t have to pick and choose among season ticket holders. The Raiders beat New Orleans in their Allegiant Stadium debut but have lost to Buffalo and Tampa Bay. And Gruden thinks he knows why. “We’ve only got one fan that comes to the game, so we blame Bob Stiriti our

security man, he’s our only fan,� Gruden said. “We have to get Bob Stiriti fired up to make some noise.� Five ways the Raiders can beat the Broncos aside from ordering their head of security to yell a little louder: 1. OWN THE THIRD QUARTER The Raiders had a horrible end to the first half against the Chargers in Week 9 but set things right by dominating the third quarter 14-3 with two drives engineered by Carr. They’ve outscored opponents 41-19 in the third quarter and given up double digits in points only once – a 10-point quarter in a loss to New England in Week 3. The win over the Chiefs was scoreless in the third quarter, but the Raiders dominated the clock and set up a 16-point fourth quarter. “I didn’t know all that, but I’m glad that we’re doing better because it was something that coach was harping,� Carr said. Said Gruden: “It’s midseason. It’s not where you line up, it’s where you lineup.� 2. KEEP SCORING TOUCHDOWNS Seems ridiculously obvious, but with the way the Raiders play defense, they’ll need to keep putting the ball in the end zone. They’re 5-3 on the strength of 24 touchdowns, eight rushing (five by Josh Jacobs) and 16 passing by Derek Carr to go along with eight field goals. The Raiders aren’t built to score much less than their average (27.3 points per game) and survive in a second half where six of the last

potential 68-yard touchdown play – only to have the Chargers Jerry Tillery strip-sack Carr and recover the fumble and give the Chargers a gift field goal. Waller’s 50 catches are second only to Travis Kelce in the NFL, but his 394 yards and 7.9 yards per reception with a long gain of 23 are hard to justify. Waller’s five catches against the Chargers gained 22 yards, a 4.4 average, which was less than the rushing averages of both Devontae Booker (8.5) and Jacobs (4.6). 3.

eight games are in indoor venues. A year ago, the Raiders were 4-4 at the break and the numbers weren’t dramatically different – 23 touchdowns and seven field goals. The second half of the season was a different story. They got all the way to 6-4 and then shut down, winning one of their last six games. The Raiders had just 14 touchdowns in the second half of the season and 12 field goals.

will both be available for the third time this season. They are part of an offense that includes running back Alvin Kamara, who leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage (1,036) and quarterback Drew Brees, who leads the league in completion percentage (74) and is fourth in passer rating (110.3). Last week, when the Saints led 31-0 at halftime, Brees had three touchdown passes to lead an offense that had 18 first downs and 283 yards. “Getting Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, all their weapons back, that last
game against the Bucs you can see how explosive their offense can be,” cornerback Jason Verrett said. “The tempo, the way Brees is getting the ball in and out of his hands quickly – that’s going to be the challenge for us.” There has been talk this season about Brees, 41, dealing with diminished arm strength, which could be a nod to his age and, perhaps, an injury to his throwing shoulder. Brees was limited in practice during the week, but he will start Sunday when he will face a defense that will look far different than the unit he saw in December.

Masters From Page A10 pretty special.” Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas, the Nos. 2 and 3 players in the world, respectively, began the day in good position to take the lead, but neither could keep pace with Johnson. Thomas shot a 71 and Rahm an even-par 72. Asked to describe his day, Rahm said: “Seriously? How would I describe? Pretty awful. . . . I didn’t make a single putt. No way I can be happy about it. The golf course was there for scoring, I was playing
good, and couldn’t take advantage of anything. That’s all I can say.” No one else made much of a move on a picture-perfect day. Rory McIlroy shot a 67, but he still trails Johnson by eight. Tiger Woods finished his second round at five under and remained there with a 72 in the afternoon. Bryson DeChambeau, the big-hitting Masters favorite, completed his second round early Saturday morning with a disappointing 74. That put him at even par for the tournament, right at the cut line.

Emmy and Jeff Jessen said their vows in Vacaville’s Town Square.
VACAVILLE — A few crazy months won’t keep Vacaville’s Emmy Jessen from participating in “Christmas in My Hometown.” Jessen on Oct. 3, after 6½ years of dating, surviving a global pandemic and three different wedding plans, got married in a flash mob wedding in her hometown. Now living in the Sacramento area, Jessen works for a major health care organization as a talent acquisition adviser, working on recruitment for many different departments, including home health and hospice. “Both truly have my heart,” she said in an email. She’s also wrapping up her master’s in health care administration. “Planning our annual Christmas show in a creative way has also been an
added challenge, but I am really excited to be able to continue raising funds for all of the kids who are now learning to play their instruments at home due to distance learning,” she wrote. “It is as important as ever for us to focus on ensuring that local kids have access to music programs and equipment – especially when teachers are unable to provide in-person instruction.” Jessen has been involved with “Christmas in My Hometown” for 13 years. She was 12 when she was part of her first show. From the age of 10, she performed as a singer-songwriter at various Vacaville events including the Saturday Farmers Market and Town Square. “My sixth-grade teacher was Ron (George’s) daughter-in-law, and she invited him to watch me perform downtown one summer day. He asked me to be part of the Christmas show, and the rest was history,” Jessen wrote.
George launched “Christmas in My Hometown.” “I love being part of ‘Christmas in my Hometown’ because it brings the community together in a way that is meaningful, festive and fun,” Jessen wrote. “I’ve had the privilege to share the stage with some of the best performers in Solano County and raise funds for the local school music programs that my three siblings and I have all had the chance to benefit from. How does it get any better than that?” The show represents all of the good that there is in the world, Jessen said. It is pure, it is entertaining and it brings families together during her favorite time of year, she wrote. This year’s show, like many other holiday 2020 events, will be virtual. Vacaville will always be home to her and her husband, Jeff Jessen. See Jessen, Page B2

The Victorian Candlelight Tours will be offered on select nights in November and December. Tickets for timed-entry admission, allowing for social distancing, are available at winchestermystery house.com. “Many people don’t realize that during Sarah Winchester’s lifetime, the spookiest day of the year was actually Christmas Eve.

Charles Dickens made the Christmas ghost story famous – and it seems fitting that Winchester Mystery House be the one to restart this Victorian tradition,” said Walter Magnuson, Winchester Mystery House general manager, in a press release. “The Victorian Candlelight Tour will feature some of our most chilling ghost stories told as you explore the most
active parts of the mansion, including the basement, which has been off-limits for quite some time now.” Guests can also enjoy a more traditional holiday tour of the mansion during the day. Self-guided mansion and garden tours will be available throughout the months of November and December. The estate is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places, is a California Historic State Landmark, a San Jose City Landmark and is one of the leading attractions in the Bay Area.

Her great-grandmother was a jazz singer in the 1940s, singing with Corky Corcoran, a saxophone player who played with the Harry James Ensemble. “I’m a product of almost every large music and musical theater program you can think of that exists in Solano County, includ-

Jessen attended Alamo Elementary School, Jepson Middle School, Vacaville High School in her freshman year and Will C. Wood her sophomore through senior years. Her favorite Christmas song? “I really love the song

The businesses had to be locally owned and a for-profit company that could show a need for the funding due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Grantees represented 16 industry sectors, including food service and accommodations, arts and entertainment, health care, education, administrative and professional services, as well as transportation and warehousing, the agency reported. Personal protection equipment and sanitation supplies were common uses of the funds across all industries, as was equipment to allow for remote
work capabilities and new point-of-sale systems for online ordering. The agency noted that among other items for which the funding was used, child care and education providers reported needing new information technology equipment for distance learning and online access. “Many of our restaurants, wineries, breweries and other businesses in food service and accommodations had to request outdoor dining furniture, heaters, shade structures and other accessories in order to reopen their businesses under the state’s new Covid guidelines,” the agency reported. The grants also helped some farming operations. “The last six months have been especially brutal on many of our small businesses,” Tim Murrill, director of the Solano Small Business

FAIRFIELD — More than 200 Solano County businesses have received a total of $2 million in CARES Act grants through the Workforce Development Board of Solano County. The 218 businesses are located in all seven cities and in the county area, have from a single employee to 49 employees, with grants ranging from $538 to eight grants of $25,000. Ninety grants went to Vallejo businesses; with 53 in Fairfield; 19 in Vacaville; 17 in Benicia; 13 in Suisun City; 12 in Rio Vista; nine in Dixon; and five grants went to businesses located in the unincorporated area of the county. The agency reported 94% of the businesses met a target goal of having 20 or fewer employees, and 85% met another target goal of being minority-owned, woman-owned, or LGBTQ-owned. “We want to maintain a strong Solano County base of small businesses that represent the diversity within our community,” Heather Henry, president and executive director at the Workforce Development Board, said in a statement. “Small businesses are the essential component of our business community.” The $2 million was distributed to the agency in September by the Board of Supervisors as part of the county’s share of the federal Covid-19 relief funds. The Solano Small Business Development Center was a partner in Rebuild Solano’s Small Businesses grant program. The Solano Workforce Development Board, in coordination with the Small Business Develop-

It is understandable to have concerns about the election. But as far as your portfolio and the markets are concerned, history suggests it will be a nonissue. Part of successful investing is understanding what you can control, and letting your emotions take a backseat to the financial plan you have in place. Make any financial changes on the basis of changes in your personal situation. Do not let the emotion of the moment distract you. You can sustain progress toward your financial goals by maintaining perspective, discipline and a long-term outlook, despite the short-run uncertainty that events such as elections can create.

Additionally, the board is administering Vallejo’s $250,000 grant program and the Small Business Development Center aided Fairfield in its $400,000 program.

TikTok granted 15-day extension on deadline The Trump administration has given the owner of TikTok another 15 days to resolve national security concerns before it’s required to sell the viral video-sharing app. The app’s Chinese owner, ByteDance Ltd., said in a court filing Friday that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. had granted it until Nov. 27 to reach an agreement, extending a deadline that was set to expire on Thursday. TikTok declined to comment on the filing. ByteDance challenged the Thursday deadline in court in Washington on Tuesday, saying the government hadn’t responded to its latest efforts to strike a compromise and prevent an enforced sale. — Tribune Content Agency

Man guilty of projecting insecurities onto his loved ones Dear Annie: My girlfriend and I have been together for almost two years. We are both divorced. I have a few insecurities. She is the greatest thing to ever happen to me, and I’m happier than I have ever been. She is my true love. I will do anything for her, which is why I’m reaching out for advice. I trust her completely, yet one of my insecurities is that I’m always asking if she is happy and if she Annie Lane is OK or sad. Dear Annie These questions drive her nuts. I want to stop this behavior but want to understand why I do this. My kids say I do it to them, too. Please help me. I don’t want to bury my feelings, but I don’t want to say things that drive her crazy. I do not want to lose her because of my stupidity. — Help My Insecurities Dear Insecurities: Not to worry. Help is on the way. The first step to change is the desire to change, and you have already demonstrated that by writing this letter. The second thing to know is that what you are doing is projecting your own feelings of sadness and feeling not OK onto everyone around you who you love. Try a morning check-in with yourself. Sit quietly for a few minutes and ask yourself, am I OK or do I feel sad? Then write down how you feel. It’s fine to feel sad, and by writing down what is making you sad, you can start to work through it. Remember that these feelings won’t last forever. Below is a poem by Jalaluddin Rumi, written more than 800 years ago, with some eternal truths. “The Guest House” This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. As the poem says, picture your feelings as little guests in your house. If we are kind to those feelings and hospitable, they are glad to be acknowledged and appreciated. Seeking the help of a professional therapist will also help greatly. Dear Annie: Thank you for advising families to prepare for Halloween. The same goes for Christmas. Please permit me to weigh in since I have been both a Santa and a public health professional for about 45 years now. I would encourage all families to take extra precautions this Christmas. That means no adorable photos of baby and/or kids on Santa’s lap in front of the fireplace. In fact, I am restricting all my Santa appearances to only outdoors and with social distancing and masks required. This may be “overkill” to some, but that is exactly the point. I will be doing everything I can to ensure that Grandma, Grandpa and others are not “killed over” this virus. I do fear that there will be many family members who appear in photos this season who will not be around next Christmas due to not taking this pandemic seriously. Please, make a plan for how you will handle the upcoming Christmas gatherings. You may have heard that Santa is offering virtual visits in many communities, which is a safe and joyful way to celebrate. Wishing you all a healthy and joyful holiday season. — Safe Santa Dear Safe Santa: Thank you for those wonderful suggestions. Hoping everyone stays safe.

High blood pressure rates vary by region in the U.S., with a higher rate of illness in the Southeast states; hypertension has a significant impact in Solano County. Only about 25% of people with hypertension have their blood pressure under control. Blood pressure is the force of blood as it flows through arteries and veins and varies throughout the day. Many factors affect the blood pressure; activity, stress or excitement. When blood pressure is consistently too high, this increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney and eye disease.

Other important risks to develop hypertension include smoking, family history of hypertension, being overweight or obese and low exercise or activity rates. Race is also a risk factor for hypertension. Tobacco use (smoking, vaping or chewing) increases the risk for hypertension. Drinking alcohol and eating too much sodium (or salt) or not enough potassium in the diet also contributes to high blood pressure.

Pope reacts to sexual abuse report on McCarrick Tribune Content Agency ROME — Pope Francis on Wednesday briefly reacted to a report on the Vatican’s investigation of sexual abuse allegations against former U.S. cardinal Theodore McCarrick, calling the issue a “painful case.� Pope Francis professed his “closeness with victims of any kind of abuse� and said the church was committed to “eradicating this evil� in his weekly video audience published online. McCarrick, 90, was last year labeled as a serial sexual predator by the Vatican’s disciplinary office. He was kicked out of the
clergy after being found guilty of soliciting during confession and abusing adults and minors. Tuesday’s report, more than 400 pages long, looked into suspicions that McCarrick’s habit of sleeping with young seminarians was known about for decades, but that his superiors in the US and the Vatican turned a blind eye. The report acknowledged misjudgments and missing information regarding the investigation of sexual abuse allegations in the past decades, but said Pope Francis had swiftly reacted when he found out about the allegations against McCarrick.
authenticity and sent his people to the front lines to quench that thirst. What Moses was to the Jews in Egypt, the Rebbe was to me and millions of others. He teaches me, inspires me and works me hard to refine my character. Yes, he’s passed on, but 70 years later his teachings are as alive today as in 1950. He taught – by example – that we must never run away from challenge. He never promised it would be easy, but 70 years ago he assured us that we would succeed. And my wife, Aidel, and I are honored to be part of his army. L’Chaim Rebbe! I hope we’re making you proud and fulfilling your mandate – to unite the Jewish people under one God with one Torah and together as one family return to our homeland Israel with the righteous Messiah.

Arctic journey informs research
VA approves more than 1M home loans WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced recently that it achieved a record year in its home loan program, by guaranteeing more than 1.2 million home loans in fiscal 2020, totaling more than $363 billion, to help veterans afford homeownership. This record loan volume equates to approximately 3,200 loans per day and represents the most home loans guaranteed in a single year in the history of the program. VA-guaranteed loans are made by private lenders. VA’s guaranty effectively eliminates the need for a down payment, helping veterans afford home ownership. Veterans must meet eligibility requirements and qualify for the loan amount based on their credit and income. Officials encourage veterans to explore VA home loan options by approaching various lenders to compare loan costs and interest rates. For more information on the VA Home Loan Program, visit https:// w w w.va . gov/ hou si n gassistance/home-loans/.
App seeks to help military, families WASHINGTON — The “My Military OneSource” mobile app is now available for service members and their families for free by downloading it on Google Play or Apple’s App Store. The purpose of Military OneSource is to put as many resources as possible in one place, so people have an easier time finding what they need, said Erika Slaton, Military Community Support Programs associate director. The app makes it more convenient when users are away from their computers and are only carrying a smartphone. Resources offered include child care options, relationship counseling, domestic violence awareness, parenting tips, tips for communicating in a long-distance relationship, moving and housing information, tax services, confidential help and more. Besides the app, users can visit the Military OneSource website on their computer. There’s also a toll-free call center manned 24/7/365. Military OneSource is a Department of Defensefunded program that is both a call center and website that provides free comprehensive information, support and resources on every aspect of military life.
Air Force updates travel screening rules JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — The Department of the Air Force has implemented an automated travel screening process to simplify required medical screening before a permanent change of station. Members selected for an assignment will automatically receive an email with a link to MyVector to begin the screening process. Medical clearance is required for all Exceptional Family Member Program families preparing to PCS, and for those members selected for an overseas assignment. The new initial travel screening questionnaire is electronic and automated, and will give members immediate feedback for clearance or additional necessary actions. One of the most important actions is to ensure the phone number on file is updated in the event a follow up is required. — Daily Republic wire services

Fairfield native celebrates Marine Corps’ anniversary in Japan U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Estefania Flores, commanding general’s driver with 3rd Marine Logistics Group and native of Fairfield, reads the birthday message for the cake cutting ceremony Monday at Camp Kinser, Okinawa, Japan. This year Marines across the 3rd Marine Logistics Group celebrated the Marine Corps’ 245th birthday in unique ways in order to adhere to Covid-19 mitigation procedures while still practicing the time honored traditions. 3rd Marine Logistics Group, based out of Okinawa, Japan, is a forward deployed combat unit that serves as III Marine Expeditionary Force’s comprehensive logistics and combat service support backbone for operations throughout the Indo-Pacific area of responsibility.
Women featured in new exhibit Army News Service FORT BELVOIR, Va. — Lt. Col. Ashley Hartwell let out a joyous gasp as she marveled at a unique display in the National Museum of the United States Army for the first time. A bright smile beamed across her face as she turned to share her excitement with her husband, Maj. Kristopher Hartwell, and daughter, Grace. A life-sized model in Hartwell’s visage, dressed in an Army combat uniform, stood tall in front of the family. Symbolic of a female military police officer on high alert in Iraq, Hartwell’s display conveys a feeling of tension as she grasps onto her M-249 light machine gun in a low-ready position. The model, titled “Corporal on Patrol in Ramadi,” highlights the growing role of women in combat during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, museum officials said. In 2013, former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta removed the ban on women serving in combat arms, creating more opportunities for females throughout the force. Hartwell, a reservist and former intermediatelevel education instructor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Belvoir, first enlisted in the Massachusetts National Guard to obtain her college degree, and a year later signed up for the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. She then served on active duty for 10 years before moving to the Hawaii Guard and later the Army Reserve.

A display at the National Museum of the U.S. Army on Fort Belvoir, Va., titled “Corporal on Patrol in Ramadi,” highlights the growing role of women in combat during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This model was designed from a cast of reservist Lt. Col. Ashley Hartwell. “While we may join the Army for the benefits, or even for national pride, many of us stay in for the people on our left and right,” she said. “There have been many times throughout my career where I am bone tired, dirty, hungry, and miserable, but so were the Soldiers next to me. “We had ‘shared misery,’ and we all got through it together, usually with a great story in the end.” Hartwell’s first supervisor also taught her the value of leadership during her initial fouryear commitment. The two discussed the significance behind an Army career, to include topics about financial management and retirement. In turn, the Army has grown to become a large, extended family, Hartwell added. “I have not always loved the Army . . . but I am, without a doubt, a stronger and better person for having joined,” she said.
The display While the museum’s display is not a direct representation of Hartwell’s career, the sweat on the figure’s brow triggered some key memories, she said. Hartwell served two tours in Iraq. As a captain, she worked closely with the local population and directly with the Iraqi military as a military transition team member during her initial tour in 2007-08. She returned in 2010-11, first as a company commander and later a stability team transition team member, again working hand in hand with the same Iraqi military officers she had three years earlier. During her first deployment, “we were out on missions with the Iraqis every week for a year. I was an M240B machine gunner in the lead vehicle of our three-vehicle convoy,” an uncommon role for female soldiers at that time, she explained. “The days I spent as a
gunner in a combat patrol was physically and mentally demanding,” she said. “But like so many women before and after me, I knew that I was up to the task.” Aside from combat, there were many challenges female soldiers had to face during that time, Hartwell said. For example, the Army’s standard issued body armor was originally designed to fit a male body composition. Hartwell recalled the pain she felt whenever the convoy would come to a quick halt, throwing her back against the rear of the gunner’s turret. “My body armor would smack me in my spine because it was too big, even at an extra-small size,” she said. “I would come back with bruises all down my spine.” Since her time in Iraq, there have been many changes to support women’s growing role throughout the force, Hartwell said.

MONTEREY — Lt. Kristen Ainslie, an undersea warfare student at the Naval Postgraduate School, is on the home stretch of her challenging thesis in physical oceanography. Her research, critical to continue the advancement of the Navy’s understanding of the unique Arctic environment, explores the dynamics of diffusive convection, often observed in the Arctic Ocean. As the Navy continues to evolve Arctic strategies, it’s clear the service has every intention, and need, to operate successfully in the Arctic region. For this reason, understanding sound propagation in these oneof-a-kind environments is paramount. Ainslie’s thesis aims to use numerical modeling to define conditions that are either favorable or unfavorable for creating thermohaline staircases, and she hopes to provide an explanation as to why they are not constantly prevalent throughout the Arctic. Fortunately for her, she has first-hand experience performing research and collecting data in the region she is diligently studying, continuing what has become a tradition of Naval Postgraduate School student participation in the Navy’s Ice X Arctic exercise. Ice X occurred this past March, with Ainslie part of a small Naval Postgraduate School team that partook in the biennial, three-week effort hosted by the Arctic Submarine Laboratory. The Naval Postgraduate School team’s research has been focused on the same topic each time: turbulence and thermohaline staircases. Due to the mixing of fresh and salt water and the unique temperature gradients under the ice, it can be difficult to predict how sound will propagate in different areas around the Arctic. Submarines use sound to see obstacles and threats, but these staircases of varying salinity and temperature disrupt sound broadcasts. In most of the ocean, researchers can predict where these zones will be and submarine operators can adapt. This truth doesn’t extend to the unique Arctic Ocean. “There’s a lot of dynamics going on out there that can cause a lot of fading in, fading out of the target because the sound energy changes, gets scattered, refracts differently,” said John Joseph, Naval Postgraduate School oceanography professor.
Air Force releases ‘Red Tail Angels’ series Air Force News Service ARLINGTON, Va. — In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of World War II, the U.S. Air Force video production team produced a video series to highlight the Tuskegee Airmen and their impact on the war, and society as a whole. “The Red Tail Angels” documentary series showcases the hardships, struggles and ultimately the successes of the Tuskegee Airmen. “The Tuskegee Airmen represent a part of American history, which for far too many years languished in obscurity after (World War II),” said Anthony Young, Air
Force Television senior producer. “This documentary is an attempt to tell their story through the words of those who lived it, highlighting not only the obstacles they faced, but the perseverance they exhibited in overcoming it. Though they have been revered for their exploits during the war, I think their legacy is evident not only throughout the U.S. armed forces, but within society as a whole, given the many doors their success has led to the opening of.” The first of the threepart series is available on the Air Force Blue Tube Channel at www.youtube. com/c/AFBlueTube.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, November 15, 2020  B7
Museum: Display features women in combat in recent wars From Page B6 decades, female soldiers wore the same uniform as their male counterparts. The Army proposed a list of changes to the combat uniform design to better fit both genders in 2010. This initiative led to Army Combat Uniform-Alternate, or the first combat garment intentionally designed to fit a female soldier. Additionally, the Army released an improved outer tactical vest in 2013, which featured a shorter torso and a customizable design to support the female form. “I feel that women in the Army also have a greater opportunity to take on a leadership role,� she said. “In my tenure, I have seen women in the Army enter combat, graduate Ranger school and now
serve in combat arms. “Women are taken more seriously and treated more professionally now. I have seen that change in the last 20 years, and it is a welcome change.�
Figure casting The National Army Museum’s exhibit team was dedicated to creating soldier figures as authentic as possible. “We worked very closely with the artists to capture a moment in time,� said Paul Morando, the museum’s chief curator. “Using soldiers as models provides authenticity. They know how to hold their weapon, stand in formation and convey emotion of what it’s like to be a soldier.� Joined by her husband, the couple flew to New
York to participate in the figure-casting process. “They started with my head by covering it with some form of a cap,� she said. “They then put plaster all over my face except my nostrils.� Hartwell held a specific pose during each layer of casting. The entire process took several hours, she said. When people look at the figure, Hartwell hopes people will see “the determination of females in combat,� she said. “Seeing the figure of myself is truly humbling. Hopefully, other women can see themselves in her as well. “I feel fortunate, but I am not quite sure I deserved this,� she said. “I am just another female soldier, like the thousands serving in the Army right now.�

It’s always good to embrace gratitude
T
he Department of Veterans Affairs does its best to take care of its blind veterans. The VA’s Western Blind Rehabilitation Center conducts a telephone conference every Wednesday on relieving stress. Attendance is usually 11 or 12 blind vets. The theme for one of those recent calls was “Gratitude.” Somehow, being thankful reduces stress. I usually am not in a state of stress. I was that week. Getting rid of the stress had nothing to do with gratitude. It had to do with trying to do something that just couldn’t happen because of a faulty computer. It is my nature to just get things done. I finally had to admit that the machine wasn’t going to perform any better. I was wasting my time and energy. I got rid of my stress by accepting the truth and recognizing that the project I was working on was a “five-year project.” I certainly could wait for my new computer to arrive and be set up. Immediate relief! That’s where I am as I wrote this: waiting without stress. On a scale of zero to four, I am a happy zero. I think that solution would apply to any one of us. We become so impatient that we dig a hole for ourselves. There is something to be said for gratitude. I am the beneficiary of the loving, caring generosity of many friends. Almost every day I am faced with the job of sharing the generous gifts of friends. Most usually food items, loving gifts of friends. For example, Rod and his beautiful wife Kim

Plan to live gave me about 40 pound of delicious, ripe peaches. I used up all of my gallon bags in sharing them. Marilyn makes some of the world’s best cookies and brownies. Always in great quantity. Share, share. There go my sandwich bags. My grand-nephew has replaced the gallon and the small bags. I’m ready for the next flood of love from friends. At the end of the stress-reduction, relaxation session, we each were asked to tell what we were most grateful for. My answer came quickly and easily: My friends. I could not have existed without them. They allow, no encourage, me to be a part of their lives. They are my transportation and my centers of interest. I love them. Jesus’ last command to his Apostles was, “Love one another as I have loved you.” I would like to tell you that I am able to love everybody all the time, but I am imperfect. I have been able to put my anger behind me most of the time. It’s good for my health and my longevity. If that is true for me (and it is), it would probably be true for you as well. Try more love and less anger. It works. It will build your company of good friends. Doing things for each other. Try it. You’ll like it. I do.

In brief
People with addiction more likely to get Covid People who are addicted to drugs or other substances are more likely to contract Covid-19 and to be hospitalized or die from it, according to a National Institutes of Health study. People with a substance use disorder made up 10.3% of those studied in the NIH-funded project but accounted for 15.6% of the Covid-19 cases, according to the study. Those with a recent opioid use disorder diagnosis were most likely to develop Covid-19, followed by people with tobacco use disorder. In terms of complications, the hospitalization rate for people with substance use disorder was 41%, compared to about 30% for those without it. The death rate was 9.6% for people with substance abuse disorder and 6.6% for those without. — Tribune Content Agency

Create a social bubble, stay safe over holidays The holiday season is traditionally a time for family and friends to gather together and celebrate. But the Covid-19 pandemic will make the holidays a much different experience for many Americans. Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, a Mayo Clinic pediatric infectious diseases specialist, says participating in virtual events and limiting your gatherings to only those who live in your household will be the safest ways to celebrate during the upcoming holiday season. She recommends that anyone who is planning to celebrate the holidays with people from outside of their households consider the concept of a social bubble. It’s a way to expand your social interactions beyond household family members while reducing the risk of getting infected with, or spreading, Covid-19. A social bubble refers to having a small, clearly defined group of people that agree to limit their close social contacts to only those within the bubble. Everyone is aware they are part of the bubble, and they agree to minimize close social contact with people outside of the bubble. Also, everyone within the bubble commits to following the recommendations related to physical distancing, wearing a mask in public, and hand-washing in their daily lives to reduce the risk of exposing others within their bubble. Limiting your bubble to less than about 10 people or two to three families will make it easier to manage your bubble, communicate with each other and minimize your risks. The larger your bubble, the higher

Create a social bubble, stay safe over the holidays. your risk will be. It is important to choose people you trust to follow the recommended precautions, and communicate openly and honestly if someone becomes sick or is exposed to Covid-19 – and of course that you enjoy spending time with. “We all need to be really thoughtful about how we approach this season in order to keep everyone as healthy as possible. This is where the recommendation regarding a social bubble will be helpful,” says Dr. Rajapakse. “And I encourage anyone who hasn’t thought about this concept or implemented it into their family’s plan to think about it for the upcoming holiday season.” She says the social bubble can reduce the risk of transmission of infection to people within your bubble if everyone carefully follows the rules. And if someone were to become ill, it makes it easier to define who may have been exposed. But it takes some planning. You
should have important conversations with the people that you’re considering to let into your bubble and ongoing communication about everyone’s health and well-being. It is important to discuss with your family how to minimize everyone’s risk of exposure. Instead of gathering closely together around the dinner table, as you normally would, spread out. Hold celebrations outdoors, if possible. Consider a hike or family walk as the “main event” with everyone masked. As a lower risk alternative to inperson gatherings, connect with friends and family by phone or by using online technology such as Zoom. Plug your mobile device into your TV or put your computer at the end of the table to “share across the miles.” Order dessert for yourself and long distance loved ones and savor each bite together.
