Suisun City reaps more than $84K in energy rebates

covid-19 pandemic

Power system upgrades led to larger check than anticipated Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — Suisun City was awarded $84,617 in energy rebates this week as part of an integrated partnership with Solano Energy Watch, Solano Economic Development Corporation, PG&E and energy services company ENGIE. ENGIE North America is on a mission to shape a sustainable future built on clean, affordable, resilient energy and the infrastructure that supports it, according to its website.

A virtual check presentation occurred at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

The rebate check, more than four times larger than originally antic- wilson ipated based on the city’s energy program across sites, was awarded for the city’s implementation of an energy upgrade focused on enhancing facility performance, building resiliency and improving reliability of existing services through implementing sustainability measures, according to a press release from the city.

Some highlights include: folsom n Through a combination of solar, energy efficiency and LED lighting upgrades, the city has installed 350 kW of solar power and has upgraded interior and exterior lighting at public facilities to LED technology. n The solar panels have been installed on top of shade canopies at city parking lots as well as in a ground-mounted array. n Streetlights citywide have been upgraded to LED lighting to save money and improve public safety. n New high-efficiency sports field lighting has also been installed at Heritage Park and Lambrecht Sports Complex. In addition to this, Heritage Park has been reconfigured to better accommodate the city’s soccer programs.

City officials praised the program.

Solano County health officer Dr. Bela Matyas says masks are barriers. “The cloth coverings will not protect against the smallest droplets, but will protect against moderate and larger droplets.”

FAIRFIELD — The issue of whether face coverings work to prevent or at least slow the spread of the novel coronavirus comes down to who believes the virus is, or is not, an airborne pathogen.

Those who believe it is, argue that masks are ineffective.

Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County health officer and an epidemiologist by training, said that would be true if the novel coronavirus is an airborne pathogen.

However, Matyas said the overwhelming evidence is that the virus spreads

through droplets – and that, in general terms, is far better when it comes to respiratory diseases.

“The implications are profound,” Matyas said. “There is no way you could open up a mall or anything if it was truly airborne.”

He said airborne particulates are small enough to go through even surgical masks, which is part of the evidence that the novel coronavirus spreads through the larger droplets. Matyas said he knows of no case where a health care worker properly wearing a surgical mask has been infected.

Matyas also points to the hundreds of See Spread, Page A6

FAIRFIELD — Solano County residents – and residents of 39 other purple tier counties – since 10 p.m. Saturday are under a state order not to socialize overnight with members of other households.

Local law enforcement agencies indicated Friday and Saturday that they will not be overly aggressive in enforcing the new restrictions.

The order signed by Dr. Erica S. Pan, acting state public health officer, requires any gatherings

with “members of other households” to be held outside.

Those gatherings then must end by 10 p.m. and cannot resume until 5 a.m. the next day.

The order continues nightly through 5 a.m. Dec. 21 – though it could be extended, the state order states.

“Reducing movement and mixing of individual Californians

is critical to decreasing transmission, hospitalizations, and deaths,” Pan wrote in the order.

“This order does not apply to persons experiencing homelessness. Nothing in this order prevents any number of persons from the same household from leaving their residence, lodging, or temporary accommodation, as long as they do not engage in any interaction with (or otherwise gather with) any number of persons from any other household, except as specifically permitted,” the order states.

I laughed again because “You mean ‘sticky note’ that’s what I do when I don’t and ‘permanent marker,’ know what to say. right?” she asked.

was almost like I was making up the entire argument inside my head. When we started dating decades ago and I was working at a Laundromat, we never argued.

“It’s a coin-operated laundry,” she said, lending credibility to the idea that despite the fact it was all inside my head, she could read my mind. Is this something that happens when you’re married for 35 years? I needed to Google it.

“Google is a specific search engine,” she told me, still apparently reading my thoughts.

“Brand name, nitwit,” she said. “It’s acetylsalicylic acid.

“PowerPoint is Microsoft’s version. There are others.”

I’d had enough from this know-it-all.

“Listen, this whole thing was my idea. I know that Sanka is a brand of decaffeinated coffee, for instance,” I said.

“Sanka?” she asked.

“Are you a time traveler from 1975? Really? Your example is Sanka?”

“This whole conversation is making me nervous,” I told her.

“It’s turning my legs to Jell-O.” “It’s ‘gelatin dessert,’ ” she shouted. “Everybody knows that. Kleenex is a brand name for facial tissue. Frisbee is a brand name for a flying disk.

This was the angriest I’d seen her since that time that a guy on “The Bachelor” was really mean. “Woah, back off!”

I said. “You’ve really drunk the brand-name Kool-Aid, haven’t you?”

“Kool-Aid is a brand name, Brad,” she said. “It’s a flavored drink mix. And Band-Aid is an adhesive bandage. Any other questions?”

She was angry. I didn’t want to make things worse.

“Sorry I angered you so much,” I said, backing away.

“I guess this turned into a real Dumpster fire, didn’t it?”

“Large garbage tote.”

I walked out, thinking it would be nice if we had a Jacuzzi where we could both relax.

Solano jobless rate drops below 9% in Group issues call October; number of local jobs climbs to photograph Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Sixteen-hundred new jobs in the county, and 8,500 more Solano residents going back to work, drove the unemployment rate down to 8.5% in October.

That compares to a September rate of 9.6% and 9.8% in August. However, the Covid-effect is still being felt in the workforce as the rate in October 2019 was 3.4%, the Labor Market Division of the state Employment Development Department reported.

How the recent return to the purple tier restrictions will affect the numbers will not likely be seen until December or possibly January, labor force officials said.

The civilian workforce was listed at 208,300, up from 201,400 in September, with 190,500 residents working and 17,700 seeking unemployment benefits.

The number of residents with a job is up from

Construction workers build an office building on Main Street in Suisun City, Friday. Solano County added 300 new construction jobs in October, according to a recent state Employment Development Department report.

182,000 in September, and the number seeking benefits dropped from 19,400.

The biggest gains for in-county jobs were in the leisure and hospitality sector with 500 additional jobs, 400 in retail and 300 in construction.

Government across all levels added 200 jobs, but the only local gains were in education, the EDD reported.

Farming jobs held

steady at 1,700, the same for the third straight month, and matching the job total for October 2019 as well.

The state unemployment rate was 9%, down from 10.7% in September, but well above the 3.7% rate in October 2019.

The national jobless rate was listed at 6.6%, down from 7.7% in September. The rate in October 2019 was 3.3%.

Trickle of final ballots add to Solano vote count but tight races remain unchanged Glen Faison

gfaison@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A total of 111 ballots were added to the count Friday as Solano County election officials handled a trickle of final ballots from the Nov. 3 election.

The latest additions left the outcomes of close races unchanged day over day.

Updates this week from the Solano County Elections Office contained small numbers of additional ballots as crews worked through voteby-mail and provisional ballots in addition to late ballots postmarked no later than Election Day. For example, a total of 51 additional ballots were counted Thursday, another 111 Friday.

Friday was the final day for ballots postmarked on or before Nov. 3 to arrive in time to be counted.

Former councilman Mike Hudson’s fivevote lead over former police chief Thomas D. Alder for the second of two City Council seats held up Friday based on the updated vote counts.

Hudson led Alder by three votes Nov. 13. He led by five votes throughout this week.

A lma Hernandez remains in the overall lead in the four-candidate field with 33.29% of the updated tally, the Solano County Elections Office reports. Hudson has 22.56% – 4,206 votes – to Alder’s 22.53% – 4,201 votes.

Each man added a single vote to their total Friday.

Appointed councilman Anthony Adams is fourth with 21.27% – 236 votes behind Alder.

Hudson and Alder were tied for a time based on early results posted on Election Day and for several days went back and forth as additional votes were counted in the Suisun City contest. The two were tied once again Nov. 12.

Vote totals in all contests are unofficial as the ballot counts continue at the Solano County Elections Office in downtown Fairfield.

The Registrar of Voters expects final certification to come sometime between Tuesday and Friday.

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 leads with 50.68% of the vote as of the end of the day Friday, the elections office Courtemanreports. che has 48.74% – 88 votes

Gloria Ann Degen

May 29, 1939 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oct. 24, 2020

Gloria Ann Degen, age 81, passed away peacefully at home with family in Vacaville. She fought a courageous, mercifully short battle with cancer.

Gloria was born at the Presidio of San Francisco to Master Sergeant Bernard Lee King (U.S. Army) of Schenectady, New York, and Mary Anna Hunt-Scofield, of Atchison, Kansas. She graduated from San Mateo High School in 1957 and earned her Associate Degree in Arts at the College of San Mateo.

Gloria married Kevin Conway in 1960 in San Mateo. They had four daughters. While raising her family, Gloria also worked at various Bank of America locations. Unfortunately, the marriage ended by divorce in 1985.

After a few years living on her own, she met Tom, an Air Force retiree, in Millbrae. They married in 1995.

Gloria and Tom retired to Vacaville in 2000.

Gloria enjoyed her favorite hobbies: cooking, acquiring cookbooks, reading (always a new novel within reach), bowling, growing roses, playing (and winning) card games, home decorating, sewing and painting.

Gloriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends remember her as smart, a fantastic cook, gorgeous, talented, thoughtful, vivacious, humorous, fashionable, joyful, spunky and always a gracious

Maria Vittoria Guerra Nov. 17, 1935 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nov. 9, 2020

Maria Vittoria Guerra, 84, peacefully passed away on the morning of Nov. 9, 2020, surrounded by family at Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place, Mercy McMahon Terrace.

She was born Nov. 17, 1935, in Pieve Tesino, Italy, the 12th child of Maria Asunta (Granello) and Fortunato Piasente.

Vittoria grew up in Italy until the age of 33. In the year 1967, she came to America to visit her sister, Guisippina, and met Vinicio Marco Guerra.

They married Jan. 26, 1969, first settling in San Francisco and later moving to Fairfield, California, in the year 1985. Vittoria was a loyal member of the Circolo Tretino Di San Francisco.

Vittoria was a devout catholic and the proudest Italian Mamma and Nonna. Her greatest joys in life were family dinners, visits from her grandkids and helping others. Her family was her life.

Surviving in addition to her sister, Guisippina; and brother, Mario; are her children, Bill (Violet), Paul (Mary), Anne Marie Crilly (Kevin), Michael (Michele), Robert (Nicole), Jeannette Schroeder (Andrew), Roseanne Guerra; her many grandchildren; nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death are her husband, Mark; her mother and father; and 10 of her siblings.

A private graveside service was held Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020, at Rockville Cemetery, 4219 Suisun Valley Road, Fairfield, California. A proper funeral church service and reception will be held next year when times are safer.

Those who want to remember Vittoria in a special way may make gift donations in her memory to Mercy McMahon Terraceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory care unit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place,â&#x20AC;? the nonprofit catholic organization that enhanced her life these last years by providing her with such great care, comfort and love. https://supportmercy foundation.org/special-giving-mmt.

Joseph Marvin White Sr. Feb. 3, 1943 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nov. 12, 2020

Joseph â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Joe/Buddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; White was born in Beaumont, Texas, and came to Fairfield-Suisun in 1947. Buddy was one of three children born to Joseph Clyde White and Lena Mae White.

He graduated from Armijo High School in 1961.

Buddy worked for Operating Engineers, where he was a heavy equipment operator until he retired.

One of his interests was to work on outboard motors in his spare time. He also enjoyed camping with family and reminiscing about the good old days.

Everyone who knew Buddy knew him as an honest, hardworking and loving man.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

He left behind his wife of 47 years, Linda White; five children, Tina, Sandy, Lisa, Amanda and Joseph Jr.; along with 10 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and all of the special friends in his life, too numerous to mention.

At this time, there is no memorial scheduled. A private memorial will be held at a later time.

State revenue windfall creates political dilemma

A

s Gov. Gavin Newsom makes the final decisions on writing a 2021-22 budget, he’s receiving some good revenue news from his beancounters.

During the first four months of the 2020-21 budget cycle, which began on July 1, state general fund revenues were more than $11 billion higher than the apocalyptic estimates on which the budget was based.

Moreover, the windfall could easily double to $26 billion in the first months of 2021, according to the Legislature’s budget analyst, Gabe Petek.

What happened?

The sharp recession triggered by Newsom’s Covid-19 business shutdowns has been very uneven, striking hard at Californians on the lower rungs of the economic ladder while affecting those on the upper rungs very softly, if at all.

Those on top are able, unlike Dan Walters the working poor, to continue earning from home. Many have also benefited from stock market gains, and they generate most of the state’s income taxes. Hence, the state’s revenues have been far healthier than the 2020-21 budget had assumed.

Whatever its size, the one-time windfall is not an unleavened blessing because Petek also projects that during the years beyond the 2021-22 period, the state faces structural budget deficits – a built-in gap between income and outgo.

Petek said in his report, “although the budget is expected to have a windfall in 2021‑22, it is also expected to have an operating deficit in that year. The operating deficit is relatively small in 2021‑22, but would grow to around $17 billion by 2024‑25.”

Thus, it creates a dilemma for Newsom and the Legislature – whether to use the extra bucks to offset spending cuts and repay loans that were used to close the projected 2020-21 gap, or sock the windfall away to cushion the impact of projected longer-term deficits.

Petek proposed a solomonic solution, appropriating about half of the extra money before the spending cuts fully kick in, and keeping the remainder in the piggy bank.

However, from a purely political standpoint, such a measured approach would be difficult because the pressure to spend is heavy, as Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon indicated in his reaction to Petek’s report.

“In light of the revenue analysis of the Legislative Analyst’s Office, it should be our priority to restore funds to critical programs that were cut and prevent additional cuts,” Rendon said.

“I agree with Senate Pro Tem Toni Atkins’ approach for making use of the $26 billion that has been identified.”

Ever since the 2020-21 budget was passed in June, advocates for education and other programs that were cut back have been pressing for tax increases, especially after it became clear that a massive new federal relief program to offset the reductions was not happening.

They had hoped that voters would bolster their cause by passing Proposition 15, a hefty increase in commercial property taxes, but the measure was defeated. Newsom has also thrown cold water on calls for income tax increases and the windfall would make a tax increase politically impossible in the short run.

With new taxes seemingly off the table, advocates will press, as Rendon hinted, for spending most or even all of the windfall, even though such an approach would worsen the longerterm deficits.

The situation then raises another scenario. The windfall may make a tax increase impossible in the short run, but if the state faces the longer-term deficits that Petek projects, they will fuel pressure for either another try at a property tax hike or an income tax increase circa 2022.

Furthermore, we also don’t know how long the novel coronavirus pandemic and the recession it induced will last.

My wife, Polly, and I are friends with two of President Eisenhower’s granddaughters, Susan and Mary Jean, so I’m careful about how I one-sidedly describe the rift that developed between our forebears.

Suffice to say that by the 1953 inauguration, they had exchanged barbs and insults, although politely by today’s standards, and were no more than civil when forced to appear together in public. On the ride from the White House to the Capitol, they barely spoke.

Yet the transition was, as Grandpa said, a most orderly turnover, thereby ensuring continuity and solidarity of purpose. In the telegram to Eisenhower inviting him and his Cabinet to the White House, Grandpa wrote: “I know you will agree with me that there ought to be an orderly transfer of the business of the executive branch of the government to the new administration, particularly in view of the international dangers and problems that confront the country and the whole free world. I invite you, therefore, to meet with me in the White House at your earliest convenience to discuss the problem of this transition, so that it may be clear to all the world that this nation is united in its struggle for freedom and peace.”

An objection to ‘Objections to books’ content’

think is suitable for us.

Children and their parents visiting the library are able to choose what books to read and what to avoid (for religious or political reasons). Moreover, in a setting of school, one should be able to opt-out of certain teachings if they consider them incorrect for their family, however, excluding the topic from the books in the library is against our diverse community. The inclusion of these books will not take away the innocence of young minds, it will teach them to respect people of all groups.

Although I am not someone who belongs to the LGBTQ group, I felt the need to write this as I sensed a bit of insensitivity toward them in the letter written by the author.

I hope as the days go by, we learn to teach our offspring to respect and as a society become more inviting and less judgmental of other people’s choices.

This is in reference to the previously published letter Nov. 8 with the subject “Objections to the books’ content.” The author of the letter strongly objected to how the “socalled LGBTQIA+” was included in the racial and ethnicity section of the children’s books.

While I agree with the author that the LGBTQ community is neither a race nor ethnicity, it is incorrect to say that little children are “not interested in sex of any kind.”

Little children are curious and sex of all kinds are intriguing to them, while we should not “thrust information down their throats” as mentioned by the author of the abovementioned letter, I do not agree with the plea to exclude that group of books as our community in Solano County is diverse and includes members from the LGBTQ community as well.

I strongly believe that living in the United States of America, we all should be able to choose what we

“This project continues to provide an ongoing opportunity to walk the walk on fiscal stewardship for our constituents, while embracing the chance to implement more sustainable solutions,” Mayor Lori Wilson said in a press release. “With more than $12 million of operational savings to our city coming through our sustainable energy program, our community is a leader in our region and that’s a really great feat. I’m excited to promote our city’s new profile around this commitment to sustainability.”

“We had been spending almost a half-million dollars a year on electrical costs previously,” City Manager Greg Folsom said in the press release. “Not only is that expense being significantly reduced, but the savings are paying for the project itself.”

Courtney Jenkins, ENGIE vice president and general manager, also praised the city’s effort.

“Suisun City has been a truly dedicated, innovative energy partner with our local ENGIE team, and it’s wonderful to celebrate how the broader community will realize the tangible fiscal and environmental benefits of the city’s stewardship for years to come,” she said in the press release. “The City Council and staff have shown leadership in forging the way toward the regional economy’s zerocarbon transition, and we feel honored to partner with the city on its sustainability vision.”

The sustainable energy and LED lighting project are reducing the city’s electricity spending by 60% and saving an estimated $12 million in avoided energy costs over the life of the project, the city reports.

It is offsetting greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing 50 cars from Suisun City’s streets annually, the city reports.

The technology work, through integrated educational tie-ins as part of the program, is also benefiting Suisun City’s youth by aligning with summer camp and afterschool learning programs tied to the project’s scientific principles related to energy conservation and solar generation, the city reports.

The project construction and implementation process should be completed by the end of the year, with ENGIE having worked side-by-side with Suisun City’s Public Works Department for the past two years.

encounters by his own Public Health staff and the patients they see, and again, there is no evidence of airborne transmission.

“We have not seen any case of transmission when people are properly wearing a face mask,” Matyas said.

The language of epidemiology Like many topics of medical science, the technical challenges of explaining in-air transmission and the difference between droplets and airborne particulates has even caused well-established experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci to stumble.

Matyas said Fauci, an immunologist who has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1994 and is often viewed as a leading expert, has referred to Covid-19 as an “aerosol transmission.”

“There’s no such thing,” Matyas said.

The terminology is a simplistic and overly broad description of the virus being expirated out of a person who has the virus.

In simple terms, in order for the virus to spread, an infected individual needs to sneeze, cough or spit – including while talking.

Of course, someone can touch his mouth or her nose and then shake someone else’s hand, and that too can transmit the disease if the other person touches her mouth or his nose or even the eyes. The virus can be picked up from other surfaces, too, but less likely.

“Shaking hands is the next most likely transmission source,” Matyas said.

That is why handwashing is another critical component in protecting against the disease.

The more accurate illustration is that the virus lives among the wet elements of the aerosol from a sneeze or cough.

When those elements dry, only the virus is left.

So, yes, the virus is in the air as it travels, but that does not make it an airborne pathogen.

Furthermore, Matyas has not seen any scientific report about masks being ineffective that does not start with or conclude with the premise that the virus is airborne.

Curfews From Page One Fairfield police Lt. Josiah Jacobsen said the department has no “desire or intent” to enforce the order, and is hopeful the community will police itself.

Jacobsen said Fairfield officers will educate individuals as necessary, a message that was reiterated Saturday.

“The Fairfield Police Department will continue to prioritize emergency calls from our community,” Jacobsen said in a statement released Saturday. “We will approach the latest Covid order in the same manner we have previously – through education and warnings, with enforcement only in extreme circumstances.”

Vacaville is urging cooperation from its citizenry, too.

“The city of Vacaville is urging the community to comply with the state’s limited stay-athome order,” a statement released Friday through the public information officer said. “While there are many exceptions included in the order that make proactive enforcement difficult, as has been the case since the issuance of the original stay-at-home order,

“But there is not a single outbreak I cannot attribute to droplet transmission,” said Matyas, and in terms of proper epidemiological review, that is where the science begins.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins are just a few of the many leading health institutions that support the use of masks.

Spreading the virus The two primary issues involved in spreading the novel coronavirus are distance and dose, and that is why the discussion about airborne versus droplet transmission is so important.

“So what comes out of a sick person is an aerosol and over distance (it) changes,” Matyas said.

Droplets, because they are larger and heavier, do not carry as far. A safe general distance, therefore, is the 6-foot social distancing space advised during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Smaller, lighter airborne particulates can carry greater distances in the air flows. That is why the smaller measles pathogen is so contagious, Matyas said.

On the other end of the spectrum is the droplet pathogen that causes whooping cough.

Then there are diseases, such as tuberculosis, that can be transmitted by both droplet and airborne particulates, which is another argument those who debunk face coverings use.

Is it possible? Matyas admits, yes. There is still a lot about the novel coronavirus that needs to be studied, including the rate by which individuals can be infected more than once, and over time, will new strains develop like the flu.

But again, Matyas points to the overwhelming evidence for transmission by droplets, and lack of evidence for it being an airborne pathogen.

Dose is the other part of disease transmission.

“Every disease is dosedependent,” Matyas said.

“The more exposure, the more likely you are going to get sick.”

That explains why the risk of sitting in a room full of family and friends, “talking, laughing, singing,” and not taking precautions, puts a person at a greater risk of contracting the disease than simply walking by someone in a

Matyas said the first defense against the virus is a barrier.

Obviously, the person who is ill is less likely to spread the disease if on the other side of a wall or a piece of plexiglass as commonly seen at stores, or in the case of the Board of Supervisors meetings, at the lectern where people speak.

Second is the individual’s immune system.

Again, those individuals who have compromised immune systems – such as seniors or a people with diabetes or hypertension, which are common health problems in Solano Covid illnesses – are more susceptible.

Again, the weaker the dose, the more likely the individual’s immune system will be able to fight off the virus.

The final defenses are the antibodies that are developed, but they take weeks to form.

Masks are barriers, Matyas said.

Least effective are the use of one-layer cloth masks such as bandanas, Matyas said. Those manufactured cloth masks that are two or three layers are far more effective at preventing the larger virus droplets from penetrating.

“The cloth coverings will not protect against

the city of Vacaville will attempt to gain voluntary compliance through education and engagement.”

Solano County Sheriff Tom Ferrara issued a similar message Friday that says the department is aware of the state’s directive but “will not respond to calls for service solely based on noncompliance with public health orders.”

“My deputies will focus on providing professional assistance in support of the community’s best interest and well-being. We will continue to address reports of criminal activity related to public safety and our community,” Ferrara said in the statement. “We will direct all callers regarding potential health order violations to the county Public Health Department unless such calls include an immediate threat to public safety.”

Ferrara said in the statement that deputies will not be “policing” Thanksgiving activities or gatherings “as it is up to the community to monitor the safety of their own family.” He urged residents who conduct their business in public to do so in a lawful manner and to “celebrate the upcoming holidays, mindful of the collective need to adhere to public health guidelines.”

will continue to educate the public and encourage responsible behavior,” Ferrara said in the statement. “We are committed to the well-being of our county’s citizens, and we will continue to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and the state of California.”

Suisun City Police Chief Aaron Roth said in a statement Friday that enforcement of the state’s health order remains an option and will be determined on a caseby-case basis.

“I want to reassure everyone your Suisun City Police Department is taking this issue seriously and encouraging everyone to cooperate with the new health order,” Roth said in the statement. “The Suisun City Police Department will continue to take an education before enforcement approach. Officers will respond to violation calls in public areas when able and will weigh whether education or enforcement is needed and if appropriate to issue health and safety violation citations, or notify local and state licensing authorities for businesses in violation of any health orders.”

the smallest droplets, but will protect against moderate and larger droplets,” Matyas said.

After that comes surgical masks, then the N-95 masks, which Matyas said “technically are respirators,” and finally the N-100 masks, which protect against particulates and fumes.

The N-100 masks are often used by people who cannot wear the N-95 masks because they have facial hair or other issues that prevent a mask from being worn properly.

Those masks, Matyas said, protect against droplet and airborne diseases. But they are also more difficult to breathe through.

The cloth masks, he said, do allow for sufficient oxygen intake, because oxygen particulates are very small. Similarly, they do not trap dangerous levels of carbon dioxide as some claim.

However, Matyas said masks should not be worn while doing exercises that require greater amounts of oxygen. He said social distancing then becomes more critical for protecting against transmission.

gle around people with masks, so distancing and other options must be explored and used.

In some of those cases, Matyas said, a face shield is the right option.

They are not as effective at preventing transmission because they do not fit as tightly around the mouth and nose, but serve the greater purpose for those who need an alternative because of their own health issues, or for other individuals’ needs.

The shields will, generally speaking, protect against someone who is close by and sneezes or coughs.

The other issue, Matyas said, is in order for face coverings of any kind to be effective, they must be worn properly.

He said he estimates 10% of the people he sees walking around are not wearing their masks properly – most frequently by having them placed below their noses.

“If I’m thinking about other places where people are required to wear (masks) all day, I would think it goes up to 20 to 25%,” Matyas said of improper use.

Masks not always the answer

One more good reason

There are individuals who because of their health conditions should not wear masks, Matyas said. Asthmatics are among those. It is not recommended that children 2 or younger wear masks, either.

There are also mental health reasons as well, Matyas said, noting, as an example, extreme cases of claustrophobia.

The hearing impaired, especially those who rely on reading lips, strug-

Masks are a twoway safeguard.

Matyas said not only do they keep the pathogens from being breathed in, they also prevent an infected person from spreading the disease to others.

“The proof is not theory,” Matyas said in making his final argument. “There are dozens, and it could be hundreds of outbreaks (in Solano County) and we have had no transmissions (wearing face masks).”

ing the disease.

Other events, such as weddings, funerals and workplace gatherings such as luncheons, have also been specifically identified by the Solano County Public Health Division as the activities where the novel coronavirus has been spread.

Health officials note that in most cases, those attending the events were not following other safety protocols such as wearing face coverings, social distancing or other hygiene practices.

Solano County has been experiencing a second surge with case rates nearing the peak summertime spike. The highest number of hospitalizations, 55, first experienced July 16, was reported again Wednesday.

However, those individuals who have been hospitalized during the recent surge have generally been younger and their level of illness not as serious as the first surge, health officials have reported.

But Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, is concerned about Thanksgiving and the winter holidays because those family gatherings are more likely to be multigenerational and could expose individuals with a higher risk of serious

illness or death.

As of Friday, Public Health reported there were 9,349 Covid-19 cases in the county, an increase of 58 over Thursday’s update. The new case count is measurably lower than recent days when the increases have exceeded 120 cases.

Vallejo surpassed 3,000 cases, adding 18 for a total of 3,008, while Fairfield added 14 cases to exceed 2,900 cases with 2,903. Dixon surpassed the 600-case mark with six new cases that took the city to 604.

Vacaville’s 14 new cases brought its total to 1,838, and Benicia, with six new cases, sits at 251.

There were no new cases reported in Suisun City (638), Rio Vista (75) or the unincorporated area of the county (32).

The total number of deaths attributed at least in part to Covid-19 held at 80, while hospitalizations decreased by three to 51. Active cases fell by 68 to 718.

The critical seven-day positivity testing rate did not stay below 10% for long, going back to 10.8% Friday after a single day below double-digits.

The number of completed tests rose to 119,406, up from Thursday’s report of 118,845.

Cal Fire’s SonomaLake-Napa Unit also covers Solano County.

Burn piles larger than 4 feet by 4 feet or broadcast burns must be inspected by Cal Fire prior to burning until the end of the peak fire season. People are advised to contact their local Cal Fire station to request an inspection.

Cooler temperatures, higher humidity levels

Pile burning requirements • Only dry, natural vegetative material such as leaves, pine needles and tree trimmings may be burned.

• The burning of trash, painted wood or other debris is not allowed.

threat of wildfire, Cal Fire reports.

Property owners and residents are asked to use caution while conducting debris or agriculture burns, follow all guidelines provided and maintain control of the fire at all times. Individuals can be held civilly and criminally liable for allowing a fire to escape their control and burn onto neighboring property.

Such burning is limited to rural areas of the county.

Residents who wish to burn must verify it is a permissive burn day.

Western Solano County residents may do so by calling the Bay Area Air Quality Management District at 415-749-5000.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s child to quarantine

From Page A3

SACRAMENTO — One of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s four children is quarantining at home after a Sacramento private school classmate tested positive for Covid-19, the governor’s office said Friday.

No one in the Newsom family has tested positive for the coronavirus, said the governor’s communications director, Nathan Click. All six family members, he said, are observing quarantine procedures and have been for several days.

“The family has taken the potential exposure seriously and is following all state protocols,” Click said in an emailed statement.

The governor and his wife have two girls and two boys, ranging in age from 11 to 4 years old. The child that was potentially exposed to the virus was not identified for security reasons.

numerous other counties on Monday to the state’s most-restrictive status to slow a surge of novel coronavirus infections and accompanying Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths. An overnight curfew to support the effort to slow transmission of the disease went into place Saturday and remain in place until at least Dec. 21.

Cal loses 31-27 heartbreaker to Oregon St. Tribune Content Agency In a back-and-forth tug-of-war that mimicked what’s been the norm during its entire season, Cal fell 31-27 to Oregon State in a heartbreaker Saturday afternoon in Corvallis, Ore. After the fifth lead change of the game, one that put the Beavers ahead by four points, the Bears drove to the Oregon State 10-yard line in the closing seconds.

But John McCartan intercepted a Chase Garbers pass

that was batted at the line of scrimmage to continue Cal’s nightmarish start to the season.

“I don’t really look at it like it’s a nightmare,” head coach Justin Wilcox said.

“It’s frustrating to lose a game. We had opportunities to win the game. That’s what we look at. We’re going to channel that emotions into improvement.”

Cal (0-2), with its highest hopes in nearly a decade, did improve from last week’s debacle at UCLA, but it wasn’t enough to

overcome critical specialteams errors and the loss of key offensive contributors.

Moments before the game, Cal announced that three starting offensive linemen would be unavailable. This came shortly after the university said the team had once again been impacted by coronavirus testing.

According to the school, one member of the team tested positive and “several” were quarantined because of contact tracing. Cal doesn’t

release names affected

by Covid-19 because of privacy laws, so it’s unclear whether that’s linked to the absence of left tackle Will Craig, left guard Valentino Daltoso or right tackle Jake Curhan.

This all came after the defensive line had a positive test and the rest of the group was quarantined for 14 days, which canceled the scheduled season opener against Washington and forced Cal to prepare on short notice for last Sunday’s UCLA game without

an entire position group.

The offense was also without starting running back Christopher Brown Jr. and tight end Collin Moore this week, but the unit was still much better than its season-opening loss.

At least, in the first half.

After having less than two days to travel to Pasadena and prepare for the Bruins, Cal looked hapless on offense Sunday. Six days later, the Bears piled up 20 points on 317 yards of total offense (7 yards per play) and didn’t allow

yards, Scott is the city’s career leader by 1,098 yards with successor Jaden Brisendine a distant second.

Vanden’s consistent Ben Scott tops talented list Paul Farmer PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield and Vanden high school football teams went 41 years without playing each other – from 1971 to 2012 – but since 1985, either a Falcon or a Viking has been the city’s all-time passing yards leader, six different players claiming the crown.

The lead has changed hands between the schools four times since 1997 – but don’t look for a switch at the top anytime soon.

Three solid seasons playing for his dad at Vanden made Ron Beverly Jr. the all-time leader with 3,348 yards in 1985. He held the record for a dozen years before Fair-

field’s Jared Biggs took the lead – by two yards in 128 fewer attempts.

Vanden’s Chad Hurst and Fairfield’s Keith Welch Jr. started their senior seasons in 2008 within striking distance of Biggs’ mark. With Welch missing all or part of five early games, Hurst got there first, but Welch returned to overtake him, finishing with 4,765 yards to Hurst’s 4,403.

Tra’Mayne Bondurant, who filled in for the injured Welch by throwing for more than 1,000 yards as a sophomore, grabbed the top spot from his former teammate by finishing with 5,619 yards in 2010.

By then Ben Scott had put together a pair of 2,000-yard seasons and made it a third as a senior to take the lead with

7,154 yards in 2011.

With no one on the horizon to challenge him, the record should be Scott’s for several years to come.

Here’s a look at the city’s all-time top 10 passing yards leaders:

1. Ben Scott, Vanden, 2009-11 — 7,154 yards Counting just Ben Scott’s sophomore and junior seasons, in which he passed for 2,174 and 2,176 yards, respectively, he would be the city’s fourth-leading passer. A senior season in which he threw for 2,804 yards, second-most in a season in city history, moved Scott’s total to See Passing, Page B2

Klay Thompson’s recovery: Odds of returning to W’s an All-Star, or at all Tribune Content Agency Warriors general manager Bob Myers could hear the melancholy in Klay Thompson’s voice.

Nearly a year and a half removed from a torn left ACL, Thompson was three weeks away from returning to NBA games, only to suffer a torn right Achilles tendon in a pickup game.

During a phone conversation Thursday shortly after Thompson learned that he’d miss his second straight season due to injury, Myers told Thompson, “I feel like for you, basketball is like air and water. You have to have it.”

“I’ve never not played basketball this long,” Myers recalled

Thompson saying.

Before Thompson suffered that ACL injury on a dunk attempt in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals, he was one of the league’s most durable players.

Now, as he stares down another recovery process expected to last nine to 12 months, Thompson is left to wonder: Will he play at an All-Star level again? Is he even guaranteed to suit up for another NBA game?

History suggests that players with torn Achilles tendons are more likely to never play in the league again than to return to their pre-injury form.

Though Thompson’s age (he is still in his prime at

According to ESPN, only three players other than Thompson are known to have endured a torn ACL and a torn Achilles tendon during their NBA careers: Emanual Dav is, Jerome James and DeMarcus Cousins. Davis and James both suffered their ACL injuries years before their Achilles injuries, never returning to the NBA after they tore their Achilles tendons in their mid-30s.

Fresh off missing nearly 12 months with an Achilles injury, Cousins – a four-time AllStar – struggled to return to his dominant ways in 38 games with the Warriors in 2018-19, only to suffer a season-ending ACL injury that following August with the Lakers.

Desperate to prove he still belongs in the NBA, Cousins is reportedly receiving interest in free agency.

That leaves Thompson as the only player in league history to have suffered a torn ACL and a torn Achilles tendon without appearing in a game between the See Thompson, Page B8

It’s a rivalry again, and all it took to rekindle the Raiders vs.

Kansas City Chiefs as must-see T.V. was an upset win followed with a ‘victory lap’ in chartered buses around Arrowhead Stadium.

The whole bus thing is much ado about nothing, but it’s interesting Chiefs coach Andy Reid Monday mentioned it at all – twice, in fact – and then the organization on the same day followed up on Twitter by proclaiming “We’ll let our play do the talking” with two photos of interceptions in a 2018 game against the Raiders.

Set aside for a moment the flawed concept of the Chiefs letting their play do the talking and posting that message on a medium which invites taunting.

It appears the Raiders to some degree got under the skin of a team which has beaten them to a pulp more often than not since Reid was

hired in 2013.

Having lost four times to the Chiefs by a combined score of 144-53 since Jon Gruden came back in 2018, the Raiders can be forgiven for a little postgame rejoicing.

They weren’t expected to win, and even in the days leading up to the game quarterback Derek Carr reminded people you can’t call it a rivalry when one team wins all the time.

The Raiders aren’t expected to win the rematch at home Sunday night ( 5:20 p.m.) either, especially after practicing all week without 10 defensive players on the Covid-19 reserve list. It would surprise no one if Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 400-plus yards and the Raiders simply couldn’t keep up with the defending Super Bowl champions.

49ers place three more on Covid-19 list, waive Takk McKinley Tribune Content Agency The 49ers placed wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, left tackle Trent Williams and reverse tight end Daniel Helm on the reserve/Covid-19 list, the team announced Friday.

All three players played in last Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

Trent Williams and Aiyuk were both placed on the reserve/Covid-19 list two weeks ago and had to miss the game against the Green Bay Packers.

Aiyuk, Williams and Helm join Hroniss Grasu and Joe Walker, who were placed on the Covid-19 list Thursday, Javon Kinlaw, who was placed on the list Wednesday and Arik Armstead, who was placed on the list Monday.

Last week, wide receiver Kendrick Bourne was placed back to the reserve/ Covid-19 list days after he came off that list.

It’s not clear if he tested

positive for the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus for a second time, as the team can’t reveal the circumstances that put players on the list.

The list was created for players who either tests positive for Covid-19 or has been quarantined after having been in close contact with anyone infected. If a player falls into either of those categories, his team is required to immediately put the player on the list. Teams are not permitted to comment on a player’s medical status, other than referring to roster status and may not disclose whether the player is in quarantine or is positive for Covid-19.

TAKK MCKINLEY WAIVED BY 49ERS The 49ers also announced Friday they were waiving defensive lineman Takkarist McKinley, who is a Bay Area native and played high school football at Kennedy High in Richmond because of a failed physical.

Passing: 4 Vikings on list From Page B1 a city-record 7,154 yards, 1,098 more than the total amassed by runner-up Jadon Brisendine, his successor at Vanden.

Scott also holds city records for most games started at quarterback (35), touchdown passes (82), passing yards per game (204.4), 300-yard games (5) and 200-yard games (19), ranking second in attempts (758) and completions (436).

2. Jadon Brisendine, Vanden, 2012-14 — 6,056 yards As a sophomore, Jadon Brisendine had the unenviable task of following three-year starters Chad Hurst and Ben Scott at quarterback for Vanden.

He more than got the job done, likewise starting for three years and finishing second in city history with 6,056 yards and setting numerous records as well. He became the third Viking and fifth overall QB in city history with three 1,000-yard seasons, throwing for 1,726 yards as a sophomore, a cityrecord 2,961 as a junior and 1,369 as a senior.

Brisendine also set city records for pass attempts (831) and pass completions (465), ranking second in TD passes (74) and passing yards per game (189.3).

All told he had three 300-yard games, 11 others with more than 200 yards.

3. Tra’Mayne Bondurant, Fairfield, 2008-10 — 5,619 yards That Tra’Mayne Bondurant is also in the three 1,000-yard season club is amazing – not that he didn’t have the talent to do it as he’s arguably the most versatile player in city history. He reached 1,000 yards the first time as a sophomore in essentially four games as the primary quarterback and two as backup to Keith Welch Jr. Between them, Welch, who missed three games and parts of two others because of an injury, and Bondurant combined to throw for a then cityrecord 2,910 yards and averaged 264.5 passing yards per game, still a city record. Bondurant contributed 1,083 of those yards before throwing for a school-record 2,630 yards as a junior and 1,906 as a senior, which ranks second.

His 580 attempts and 296 completions rank fifth in city history, his 70 TD passes third. He threw for a cityrecord 429 yards against Benicia in 2009 and had two other games with more than 300 yards, 10 others with more than 200 yards.

4. Keith Welch Jr., Fairfield, 2006-08 — 4,765 yards The race to see who would break Jared Biggs’ city career passing yards record first put Fairfield’s Keith Welch Jr. and Vanden’s Chad Hurst on the cover of the Daily Republic’s 2008 Prep Football Preview.

Hurst got there first, due in part to an injury suffered

by Welch, but the latter bounced back and grabbed the record for himself, only to see Bondurant break the record two years later.

Welch threw for 1,037 yards as a sophomore, 1,901 as a junior and 1,827 as a senior. He averaged 170.2 yards per game, a tick behind Bondurant’s 170.3, his 310 completions and 51 TD passes ranking fourth in city history, his 550 attempts ranking sixth.

Welch topped 300 yards three times, 200 or more on seven other occasions.

5. Chad Hurst, Vanden, 2006-08 — 4,403 yards The what-might-have-

Vanden’s rushing leader dropped from 1,242 yards to 626 from 2007 to 2008 and its receptions leader leader fell from 48 to 27. Still, Hurst quarterbacked the Vikings to a Solano County Athletic Conference crown as Vanden overcame a 15-0 fourthquarter deficit for a 21-15 win over Rodriguez in the season finale that decided the championship.

Hurst, the first of three straight three-year starters for the Vikings, passed for 918 yards as a sophomore, 1,876 as a junior and 1,609 as a senior. His 696 pass attempts and 336 completions rank third in city history, his 137.6 yards per game rank fifth and his 38 TD passes rank sixth.

Hurst threw for a thencity record 412 yards against Rodriguez in 2007 and had one other game with more than 300 yards, five others with more than 200.

6. Jackson Troutt, Rodriguez, 2018-19 — 3,681 yards Of the quarterbacks in the city top 10, no one played fewer varsity games than Rodriguez’s Jackson Troutt with 20.

Everyone else played in all or parts of three seasons and all with the exception of Armijo’s Brian Wilson made it to the playoffs at least once.

Troutt made the most of his limited time, throwing for 3,681 yards and averaging 184.1 yards per game, which ranks third all-time. He capped his career by throwing for a school-record 2,016 yards in 2019, his 1,665 yards in 2018 ranking third.

In his career finale against Vanden, Troutt rolled up 306 yards, which put him over the 2,000-yard mark for the season. He had one other 300-yard game, and went over 200 yards eight more times.

His 269 completions rank seventh in city histor y, his 466 attempts rank eighth.

7. Brian Wilson, Armijo, 2008-10 — 3,590 yards Brian Wilson, Armijo’s lone representative in the top 10, was the rare quarterback who peaked as a sophomore – when he had career highs with 1,469 passing yards and 14 TD passes in 2008 – and gradually saw his numbers slip. He threw for 1,450 yards as a junior and 671 as a senior, declining talent around him and injuries taking their toll.

Wilson had three 200-yard games with a high of 287 against Napa in 2009. He ranks fourth all-time with 610 attempts, sixth with 280 completions, eighth with 128.2 yards per game.

8. Jared Biggs, Fairfield, 1995-97 — 3,350 yards In the run-happy 1990s, Fairfield’s Jared Biggs was an aberration – at least in 1996, his junior season. That year he threw for a city-record 1,798 yards, more than half his 3,350 career yards. He started out with 597 yards while splitting time as a sophomore and added 955 yards as a senior.

Biggs was the third quarterback in city history to top 300 yards in a game by throwing for a then-city record 315 against Armijo in 1996, following Vanden’s Darryl Thompson (306 vs. Benicia in 1978) and Armijo’s Gale Lawton (302 vs. Hogan in 1985).

He went over the 200-yard mark three other times.

His 39 TD passes still rank fifth, his 194 completions rank ninth and his 374 attempts was bumped from the top 10 last season

by Rodriguez’s Troutt.

9. Ron Beverly Jr., Vanden, 1983-85 — 3,348 yards Ron Beverly Jr.’s 3,348 passing yards in the mid 1980s are a starting point when calculating the city passing yards record.

Stats aren’t available for those who went before him, but with fewer games on schedules, limited playoff opportunities and a tendency to run the ball – and run it some more – odds are he broke whatever the record was by quite a bit.

Beverly threw for a career-high 1,205 yards as a sophomore, 972 as a junior and 1,171 as a senior.

His 502 attempts and 37 touchdown passes still rank seventh, and his 224 completions are eighth after 35 years.

With the Vikings likewise focusing more on the run, Beverly had no games over 200 yards.

10. Myles King, Rodriguez, 2007-09 — 2,951 yards Myles King held the distinction of being Rodriguez’s all-time leading passer for a decade with his 2,951 yards, the bulk of which – 1,860 yards – was amassed his junior season.

King threw for 320 yards against Vacaville in 2008 and had two other games with 200 or more yards. He’s tied with Vanden’s Stefan Koss for eighth on the city TD passes list with 29.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, November 22, 2020 B3

Raiders: Will try to run against Chiefs From Page B1 The Chiefs are coming off a bye, and Reid is 18-3 as head coach with the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles after byes.

The last time Kansas City lost to a team other than the Raiders was Nov. 10, 2019 against Tennessee.

But by virtue of a 6-3 record and 3-0 in the AFC West, the Raiders have earned the right to be taken seriously.

Beating the Chiefs (8-1, 2-2) would put them within a game of the division lead and owning the division tiebreaker by virtue of a season sweep.

Here are five ways it could happen: 1. KEEP PLAYING KEEPAWAY In an age where passing is emphasized, time of possession can be a non-factor. But it’s huge for the Raiders, who dominated the second half against the Chiefs with more than 20 minutes of time of possession. It helped keep Mahomes and his dangerous set of receivers on the sideline where they can do no damage.

The Raiders are coming off a game where they controlled the clock for an absurd 13:28 of the third quarter against Denver, after which the Broncos defense was

gassed. The Raiders had Carr simply turn and hand the ball off and a rested defense picked through the Broncos’ carcass, forcing five turnovers in all.

That means Kansas City can expect a heavy dose of Josh Jacobs with eight to 10 carries for Devontae Booker. The Chiefs are ranked No. 27 defensively in rushing yardage (138.4 per game).

The Raiders ran for 35 times for 144 yards in the first meeting at Arrowhead.

The Raiders’ 50.4 percentage at converting third downs leads the NFL. 2. RE-INTRODUCING THE PASS Don’t be fooled by the Raiders lack of passing yardage the last three games (143.3 yards per game). They still know how. They just didn’t need to, and Gruden is inclined to keep running the ball whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Take away a few potential big-play drops against Denver and Carr’s game balloons in terms of passing stats. A quality opponent such as Kansas City will demand something closer to a 50-50 split of run-pass as opposed to the 112 runs and 72 passes over the last three games.

The Raiders are still looking to get some serious yardage figures out of tight end Darren Waller, plus they’ve got Hunter Renfrow, Nelson Agholor and rookie Bryan Edwards, who reintroduced himself briefly against Denver with a reception.

Which brings us to . . .

3. A RUGGS REDUX The numbers of wide receiver Henry Ruggs III (13 receptions for 251 yards) aren’t among rookie leaders other than yards per catch.

But he torched the Chiefs for two catches and 118 yards in the first meeting and totally changed the approach of the Kansas City defense.

Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu said of Ruggs “ he’s one of those guys that, if he’s even, he’s leavin.”

Mathieu, who last year described the Raiders offense as a predictable series of checkdowns and underneath routes, had this to say about the way they operate with Ruggs in the lineup: “On the back end, how do we stop those big shots they love to take?,” Mathieu said.

Said Gruden: “We’re not being defended like we’ve been defended in the past. Stats are important to some people, winning is more important to others. We’re more interested in winning.”

4. TURNOVER TIME With one interception and one lost fumble through nine games, Mahomes isn’t going to spew turnovers like Denver’s Drew Lock.

The Raiders aren’t going to get five takeaways, but getting two would help an awful lot.

Safety Jeff Heath, who owns the only interception against Mahomes in the first meeting and had two last week, said it’s all about having a mindset for the ball and being a half a step faster than you were the week before.

“Really, in the NFL, it comes

down to that,” Heath said. “We’re talking half steps, a half-second between making a play and not making a play.”

The Raiders have a big decision to make in terms of blitzing Mahomes in hopes of forcing those turnovers. They’ve gotten more pressure of late with increased blitzing, but Mahomes is very good against the blitz. In the first meeting, the Raiders didn’t blitz much, Mahomes had the lowest completion rate of his career (23 of 42, 51.1 percent) and looked like a garden variety quarterback in the second half.

5. COLLARING KELCE

The Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill is always a challenge, a touchdown waiting to happen. But tight end Travis Kelce can bring about a more slow, torturous demise by getting open and repeatedly picking up first downs. Mahomes trusts him, too.

“It’s obvious when you watch him that Mahomes is very comfortable throwing him the ball,” Heath said.

“When plays break down, he looks downfield, then he looks to ‘87.’ This league is filled with good tight ends and he’s one of the top ones.”

Kelce is far from the only weapon, but he’s one Gruden realizes will be a handful.

“We’re going to have to be a lot better than we have been against Kelce in the past,” Gruden said.

“He seems to dominate against us.

He’s dominated the league.”

Cal: Had ball on OSU 10 late in game From Page B1 and 17 carries behind the makeshift line, which also lost center Michael Saffell to an apparent right leg injury midway through the game.

But in the second half, Cal was limited to seven points on 122 yards of total offense (3.4 yards per play) and allowed two sacks as the Beavers (1-2) converted their defensive corrections and some special teams highlights into a comeback from a

20-14 halftime deficit.

The Bears had two 85-plus-yard Nikko Remigio touchdown returns (one punt and one kick) called back by blocking penalties and allowed a 36-yard punt return and a blocked punt that set up two go-ahead scores in the fourth quarter.

Trevon Bradford’s 36-yard punt return put Oregon State in position for a well-designed trick play that accounted for a 24-20 lead with 13½ minutes remain-

ing. Running back B.J. Baylor sprinted left on a pitch out of the backfield and flipped the ball to Tyjon Lindsey on an apparent reverse. But the receiver instead tossed the ball back to quarterback Tristan Gebbia for an 8-yard TD. A series after Elijah Hicks’ interception led to Cal’s 27-24 lead – a 2-yard touchdown pass from Garbers to Jake Tonges with 8 minutes left – Jesiah Irish blocked a Jamieson Sheahan punt that set up the Beavers with great

field position. Gebbia, who had already thrown and caught touchdowns, ran in from a yard out to give Oregon State a 31-27 lead with 4:30 on the clock.

Cal frantically drove to the Oregon State 10-yard line in the game’s final seconds, but facing an all-out blitz that left the Beavers without a safety and the rest of the secondary in man-toman coverage, a potential game-winning pass from Garbers was batted into the air and eventually into McCartan’s grasp.

Vallejo PD to conduct DUI patrols in lead up to holiday Police encourage all to adhere to state’s overnight curfew order Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — Police will conduct DUI patrols from 6 p.m. Wednesday to 2 a.m. Thanksgiving Day in what they describe as a proactive measure to prevent people from driving while impaired.

The Police Department will redeploy officers in a patrol capacity to assist with this effort.

“Safety is paramount, but especially during the Covid-19 pandemic,” Officer Kenny Trimble said in a press release. “We are all in this together and want everyone to be as safe as possible when they are out. One way to do this is by not driving impaired.”

The Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not only attributed to alcohol. Some prescription medications or overthe-counter drugs may interfere with driving.

People are advised to always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving or operating heavy machinery, which includes driving a car.

Police remind residents that while medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

“If you plan on drinking or taking medications that may impact your ability to drive safely, plan on

staying at home,” police spokeswoman Brittany K. Jackson said in the press release. “Driving sober is your safest bet.”

Drivers who’ve been arrested and charged with driving while under the influence can expect to incur penalties of at least $13,500. This cost includes fines, fees, license suspension, DUI classes and other expenses.

“Do not risk your own life and the well-being of others by being irresponsible,” Jackson said in the press release. “Drive safely and responsibly or don’t drive at all.”

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Limited curfew now in place The Police Department encourages all residents and visitors to abide by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s modified stay-at-home orders, which require all nonessential activities to stop from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each day through at least Dec. 21.

This order applies to all counties in the state’s most-restrictive Covid-19 monitoring tier, including Solano County.

The limited curfew began Saturday night.

Judge dismisses Trump’s last PA lawsuit capable of disrupting results Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — A federal judge in Williamsport rejected President Donald Trump’s legal bid to disrupt certification of Pennsylvania’s election results on Saturday, delivering an all but certain death blow to his campaign’s ambitions of reversing Presidentelect Joe Biden’s victory through the courts.

In a 37-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann dismissed the lawsuit, describing it as a “Frankenstein’s Monster” of tortured legal claims that sought an “unhinged” remedy that would effectively disenfranchise all voters in the state.

“One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably

armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption,” he wrote. “Instead, this court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations . . . unsupported by the evidence.”

He continued: “This cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters in its sixth most populated state. Our people, laws and institutions demand more.”

The federal case had been the one legal challenge on which the campaign had pinned its remaining hopes of stopping the state from approving its final vote tally before the Monday deadline for counties to report their results to state election administrators.

Vallejo selects deputy police chief from ranks of San Jose leadership Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — Capt.

Michael Kihmm of the San Jose Police Department has been selected to serve as deputy police chief in Vallejo.

He will take the oath of office Nov. 30.

“I am excited and grateful that Deputy Chief Kihmm will be joining our department,” Vallejo kihmm Chief of Police Shawny Williams said in a prepared statement.

Kihmm has 29 years of continuous law enforcement experience. He began his career in 1991 as a full-time police officer with the Milpitas Police Department and transferred to the San Jose Police Department in 1994.

He promoted through the ranks to captain and has a broad range of experience where he has worked and led numerous units to include Patrol, Internal Affairs, Homicide, Traffic/Motor Unit and Sexual Assaults, and served as the chief’s adjutant.

Kihmm has been involved with numerous special projects, most recently leading the implementation of the California Department of Justice Racial Identity Profiling Act (Assem-

bly Bill 953) and worked in partnership with the University of El Paso, Texas Center for Law and Human Behavior to conduct an analysis of the department’s limited detention data on traffic and pedestrian stops.

He holds a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice administration from San Diego State University and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy (Session 262), Police Executive Research Forum-Senior Management Institute for Police (Session 69) at Boston University and the Los Angeles Police Department’s Leadership Academy (formerly West Point Leadership Class).

K ih m m enjoys working out and spending time with his wife and three children, two of whom are in college and one in high school, according to a police press release.

“Michael is a servant leader who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that will assist us with our collaborative reform efforts and goal of building strong community partnerships,” Williams said in the statement. “As we strive for a safer Vallejo, I

am confident that Michael will help us advance the principles of 21st-century policing and cultivate an environment that engages the hearts and minds of all employees, com-

munity stakeholders and our youth.”

The additional deputy chief position will be filled temporarily in an interim capacity and is expected to begin in December 2020.

Il Fiorello offers warm place to visit during 2020 holidays

SUISUN VALLEY — Il Fiorello Olive Oil Company is expanding services to guests and enlarging its facility with expanded outdoor dining.

Guests may now enjoy weekend lunches in a safe, covered patio with accompanying garden grounds.

The new outdoor dining area is warm and comforting with a new stove and heaters. Warm blankets are also available.

The weekend lunches, available each Friday, Saturday and Sunday, are presented with seasonal foods supported by Il Fiorello’s organic garden.

The lunches are prix fixe, $20 per person, and change weekly.

Guests are asked to call for reservations to safely accommodate all diners.

Il Fiorello accompanies the lunches with international award-winning olive oils and balsamic vinegar reductions. Formal olive oil and food pairing tastings are expected to resume in the spring when close personal contact is once again allowed.

Guests are invited from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily to sample from a curated wine list, beer and snacks.

Il Fiorello owners Ann and Mark Sievers strive to provide a calm, quiet and restful place for people to enjoy great food, experience their farm and listen to the birds sing.

All of their products are available online, as well as in the retail store with contactless shopping. Holiday gift sets are now available, along with Il Fiorello’s new Olive Oil Home Tasting Kit. Named after the small white flowers of the olive trees, Il Fiorello Olive Oil Company traditionally offers tours of the mill that produces the oils from the locally grown fruit. Expect those tours to resume once Covid-19 restrictions ease.

The family owned company produces artisan olive oil from the Suisun Valley and Green Valley orchards. Using a modern continuous-system olive mill, it can process 1,700 pounds of olives per hour. Tours give guests the chance to stand at the final separator, the cucciolo, as the olives are milled. They can dip pieces of fresh bread in the golden-green oil and savor the rich taste.

Il Fiorello opens the mill certain times of the year to the public and processes what people bring in. Two such community milling days have recently occurred.

Il Fiorello Olive Oil Company is located at 2625 Mankas Corner Road in Suisun Valley. For lunch reservations and more information, call 864-1529 or visit www. ilfiorello.com.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court.

Thompson: Bought boat, began fishing From Page B1 injuries. Perhaps the closest example is twotime All-Star Norm Nixon, who, after missing the entire 1986-87 season with a torn patellar tendon he suffered in a softball game, suffered a season-ending torn right Achilles tendon in a preseason practice with the Clippers in November 1987.

Though Nixon returned to start 30 games in 1988-89 at age 33, he averaged just 6.8 points â&#x20AC;&#x201C; less than half his career average â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on 41.4% shooting (27.6% from 3-point range) before finishing his career in Italy. The good news for Thompson is that, in the three-plus decades since Nixon last played in the NBA, medical advances have improved playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chances of a full recovery from Achilles injuries.

The surgery is now conducted with stronger sutures and smaller incisions. Instead of waiting weeks to put pressure on the injured heel, players can begin rehab exercises just days after the procedure. Some players in peak physical shape have been known to make successful recoveries in as quickly as six months.

But given that Thompson was in the final stages of coming back from an ACL injury when he tore his Achilles tendon Wednesday, the Warriors will be careful not to rush

his rehab process. This is a team that, after letting Kevin Durant return from a strained right calf in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals, came under heavy criticism when Durant tore his right Achilles tendon two minutes into the second quarter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an injury that forced him to miss all of last season with the Nets.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth noting, however, that Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s torn Achilles tendon likely had nothing to do with how he approached his recovery from the ACL injury. Dr. Timothy Gibson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an orthopedic surgeon at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley (Orange County) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; told The Chronicle that most Achilles injuries in players Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age are â&#x20AC;&#x153;freak accidents.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would expect him to do extremely well,â&#x20AC;? said Gibson, who has worked in elite sports medicine for more than two decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would expect him to come back and be close to his peak.â&#x20AC;?

If Gibson is right, Thompson would be a bit of an outlier. The Achilles tendon, which connects the heel bone to the calf muscle, absorbs force when an athlete lands from a jump before providing power when he or she pushes off the ball of the foot. Since an NBA playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career hinges on the ability to jump and change direction, Achilles injuries

Those closest to Thompson are more concerned about the mental toll of another lengthy injury rehab than any potentially diminished explosiveness.

After not sitting out a game in high school or at Washington State because of injury, he played 214 consecutive games for the Warriors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the longest such streak to start a career in franchise history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before he missed a loss to Cleveland to attend his grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral. Eight months later, Thompson missed his first game because of injury, a loss to Phoenix, with a strained right hand.

Before his torn ACL, Thompson hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been sidelined more than nine games in a season. Forced to go the past 17 months without playing in an NBA game, he got anxious, often complaining to teammates about being bored. To pass the doldrums, Thompson bought a luxury boat and took up fishing.

Many of his days were spent catching sea bass off the coast of Dana Point (Orange County).

But as Thompson ramped up his recovery from the ACL injury in recent weeks and began to scrimmage, he was happy to give his fishing rod a break. Basketball has long been his refuge from the demands of celebrity and day-to-day stresses.

often derail careers.

Much of the recovery process is focused on strengthening the calf muscle, which tends to atrophy during the healing process post-surgery. But many players, especially big men, can never get the calf muscle as strong as it was pre-injury. Even the most minor loss of explosiveness can have devastating consequences for NBA athletes.

In 2013, an American Journal of Sports Medicine study found that more than a third of players who sustained major Achilles injuries between 1988 and 2011 didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play another game in the league. Those who did return missed an average of 55.9 games per season the rest of their career.

If a player is able to play for years post-injury, his playing time and performance will probably plummet. A 2015 CBS Sports study showed that the 14 players who had returned from Achilles injuries since 1992 had both their field-goal and three-point shooting percentages drop, on average.

But if anyone is wellequipped to beat the odds, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably Thompson. In addition to being in the heart of his prime and a modest size by NBA standards at 6-foot6, 215 pounds, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on athleticism to affect games. An expert at moving off the ball, Thompson is a jump-

Taylor Mac’s holiday show goes virtual, pandemic Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

SAN FRANCISCO — Taylor Mac’s “Holiday Sauce . . . Pandemic!” will be streamed live at 7 p.m. Dec. 12.

The show marks Mac’s fourth collaboration with Carole Shorenstein Hays and the Curran. Holiday Sauce performed a celebrated, multiple-week engagement at the Curran in 2018.

For Mac, there is more to the holidays than capitalism and gift-giving, and imagination is its own spirituality.

“This holiday season will be bittersweet for so many,” said a press release for the show. “ ‘Holiday Sauce . . . Pandemic!’ reminds us of the collective power of our chosen families, a message that is particularly resonant this year, when so many have lost so much.”

Conceived as a virtual vaudeville, “Holiday Sauce . . . Pandemic!” blends music, film, burlesque and random acts of fabulousness.

Mac dedicates Holiday Sauce to Mother Flawless Sabrina, Mac’s drag mother, who died three weeks before the live show made its world premiere at Town Hall NYC in December 2017.

Also on Dec. 12, in a ceremony streamed at 10 a.m. PST, Mac receives the International Ibsen Award, given every two years to an individual or company that has brought new artistic dimensions to the world of drama or theater. Mac is the first American to win the honor.

The “Holiday Sauce” album celebrates the time of year we hate with unique renditions of songs we love, according to press materials. In addition to traditionals including “God Rest Ye Gentlemen,” “How Can See Taylor, Page C2

VACAVILLE — Papa Roach has been keeping busy during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The Vacaville-based band will release its second collection of hit singles, “Greatest Hits Vol. 2 – The Better Noise Years,” in March.

It will feature 12 of the band’s top 10 hits released between 2010 to 2019.

The set includes 21 tracks including three unreleased remixes and two unreleased acoustic recordings recorded live at the YouTube Studios in New York City.

The set also features a guest appearance by Danny Warsnop (vocalist of Asking Alexandria) on the track “Broken As Me.” The original version of the song was recorded for Papa Roach’s 2015 album F.E.A.R., which featured a video recorded at Theatre DeVille in Vacaville.

“We wanted to commemorate the last 10 years of our journey with this special collection of the music that got us here,” the band said in press materials.

The first single and video, “The Ending (Remastered 2020),” was just released. The song will be featured in

“Greatest Hits Vol. 2 – The Better Noise Years” by Papa Roach is available for pre-order now. the motion picture “The Retaliators,” a horror thriller.

The music video includes footage from the movie. Jacoby Shaddix, Papa Roach’s lead singer, also makes his acting debut in a crucial role in the 2021 picture.

“When I heard about this film last year, I spoke to the creative team and I felt I had a vehicle to see if I could expand my range as an artist. Truly, I couldn’t have imagined how much I enjoyed this experience and can’t

wait to find another film in the future,” Shaddix said in press materials.

He appears alongside a diverse cast, which includes Michael Lombardi (FX’s “Rescue Me,” “The Deuce”), Marc Menchaca (“Ozark,” “Black Mirror,” “The Sinner”) and Joseph Gatt (“Ray Donovan,” “Game of Thrones,” “Banshee,” “Dumbo.”)

Lombardi, who is also a co-producer on the film, says of Shaddix’s acting in the role of Quinn Brady, “I wasn’t sure what to expect.”

“I thought he might be good because he’s a great storyteller with his songs, but I was truly blown away by his performance as an actor,” Lombardi said in the press materials. “I found Jacoby to be incredibly focused and committed. He was never afraid to jump off that cliff.

“For example, he and I had a scene together where his character has to slap me, pull my hair and lick my face. Lucky for me we only needed two takes, because he 100% went for it,” Lombardi said in the press materials.

“I had a red, smacked, wet face when the director yelled cut. He’s a beast!”

FAIRFIELD — The Universal Ballet Competition is calling for dancers everywhere, of all ages, to submit videos to be considered for a global, collaborative and virtual “Nutcracker” production.

Submission are due Friday. The full performance will stream Dec. 19 and is free for all to view.

The project is looking for submissions to represent each scene and divertissements, and a panel of judges will select the “winning” performances to yield one continuous “Nutcracker” production representing dancers, students and families from around the world.

Florida residents David and Lissette Lucas are founders of the Universal Ballet Competition. They met and fell in love while dancing together at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in Canada.

“The Nutcracker” has become a family tradition that ushers in the holiday season.

For dancers of all ages, it has become a rite of passage, giving young children their first taste of performing, and older dancers, their chance to move through the ballet hierarchy year after year.

Hallmark holiday movies deliver comfort, joy Tribune Content Agency SAN JOSE — Ruthie Caitham’s driver’s license and other official documentation insist she resides in Vallejo. Ah, but when fall and winter roll around, Caitham proudly proclaims that she dwells in “Hallmark Land.”

“It’s my happy place,” she says. “And in these crazy, hateful times, I want to live where people care for each other.”

Don’t check your GPS. Hallmark Land isn’t a spot on a map, but a powerful head rush of feel-good vibes, romantic happily-ever-afters and relentless outpourings of holiday cheer that emanate from the sleighload of made-for-TV Christmas movies annually offered by the Hallmark Channel and its cable sibling, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

And that doesn’t include reruns and/ or the vintage Hallmark movies she owns on DVD.

Clearly, she’s not the only one mainlining this televisual comfort fare. What began as a modest TV experiment has become a full-blown, twinkle-lit, popcultural juggernaut enjoyed

by millions and mimicked by other outlets like Lifetime, Netflix and UPtv. Between 2002 and 2008, the Hallmark Channel produced no more than six holiday films per year – and only one in several of those years. In 2010, that number jumped to a dozen, and by 2017, it was up to 20.

This year, across a schedule that kicked off before Halloween, the two Hallmark networks will combine to gift fans with 40 new original yuletide movies – matching last year’s output, wh ich cu mu lat ively drew 70 million unduplicated viewers.

‘Collective’ a prescient investigation of political corruption surrounding health care crisis K atie Walsh

MOVIE

Tribune News Service

Review

T

here’s a quiet, breathtaking power to Alexander Nanau’s documentary “Collective,” Romania’s official Oscar entry this year. A propulsive urgency propels the film along, derived not from manipulative storytelling techniques, but simply facts, information carefully observed, imparted plainly and with such a lack of melodrama, you could miss something crucial if you aren’t paying attention to every word. Because what’s at stake in “Collective” are facts themselves, in the wake of a deadly 2015 nightclub fire in Bucharest, Romania, a crisis that revealed entrenched corruption at every level of the health care system.

With an incredible sense of restraint, Nanau carefully lays out the details of this tale. It will soon spin into a saga of corporate malfeasance, government corruption, shady Mafia figures, and people who try to do the right thing, which means slamming into a wall of red tape, political infighting and a deeply rooted system of bad actors.

But first, just the facts.

On Oct. 30, 2015, a fire broke out during a rock show at the club Colectiv (Nanau includes footage from inside the club that night, which is utterly terrifying and surreal).

Without adequate fire exits, 27 people perished

Holiday From Page C1 that has left so many of us anxious and stressed.

Hallmark holiday movies, with their abundance of comfort and joy, surely will be counted on to deliver some much-needed relief.

“Our movies are rooted in warmth and positivity, meaningful connections, family gatherings,” says Michelle Vicary, the executive vice president of programming for Crown Media Family Networks, who hopes it’s a “winning formula” that will bring viewers “much-needed levity and holiday cheer at the end of a tough year.”

Those scenes of meaningful connections and family gatherings?

They now come when holiday gatherings across America figure to be greatly downsized – or curtailed altogether. And Hallmark’s largely predictable storylines? They arrive amid highly unpredictable times.

The Hallmark formula is simple, on the surface at least: Give the audience what it wants, including familiar plots stuffed with unlikely romances, holiday homecomings, charmingly snow-covered hamlets and life-affirming tales of redemption.

And by the end of two hours, good triumphs over evil, the requisite love connections are made, Scrooge-like tendencies are squelched, Christmas is saved from ruin, and everything is tied up in a big, bright, beautiful bow.

A scene from “Collective,” a documentary from Romania. in the blaze and 180 were injured. During the four months following the fire, 37 more burn victims died in Romanian hospitals. In the wake of the tragedy, Romanians took to the streets to hold their government accountable.

We pick up with a team of investigative reporters at the local sports daily, Sports Gazette, running down leads from sources, breaking news about a defective disinfectant that has allowed a lethal bacteria to run rampant through hospitals, killing burn victims who should have survived their injuries.

Editor-in-chief Catalin Tolontan is the driving force behind the investigation, working with reporters Mirela Neag and Razvan Lutac to track down the CEO of Hexi Pharma, the disinfectant manufacturer, while gathering testimony from whistleblowers inside the hospitals, from doctors to accounting clerks.

Nanau depicts their process in detail, as the story grows bigger and more unwieldy. For fans

of films like “All the President’s Men,” “Collective” has all that great cinematic shoe-leather reporting: dramatic phone calls, last-minute layout changes, secret meetings with sources. But Tolontan is also an important public figure in this movement, in TV appearances, and in confronting officials and bureaucrats at press conferences, a determined reporter committed to truth and justice above all else.

It’s at one of these tense press conferences that we meet Vlad Voiculescu, an altruistic former patients’ rights advocate who takes over as Minister of Health.

Vlad wants to do right by the victims of the Colectiv fire, but he soon finds himself mired in a web of bureaucracy, unable to act on the unchecked abuse, bribery and embezzlement that rules the hospital system. He wants to speak plainly, act swiftly, but he’s hamstrung by lackeys and those with political and financial vested interests.

At one point, he helplessly

Last year, that bow also wrapped up two Hanukkah movies, Hallmark’s first.

Along the way, Hallmark capitalizes by going against the grain – offering a cozy alternative to the dark and edgy dramas that are lathered over much of television and populating its casts with people in their 40s and 50s, a demographic underserved by the broadcast networks.

And many of its go-to leading ladies, like Lacey Chabert, Candace Cameron Bure and Holly Robinson Peete, have become part of the seasonal TV family over the years, making visits as regularly as Charlie Brown and Rudolph.

“We are honored to work with some of the best talent in the entertainment industry,” says Vicary.

“They each have amazing bodies of work with loyal fan bases who also loved the (previous shows) in which they starred. Many of our stars tell me that when they are recognized in public, they are thanked by viewers for the Hallmark Channel movies they make. That makes me so proud.”

Of course, the holiday films have their Grinchy detractors. Critics call them “corny” and “sappy.”

Late-night comedians and “Saturday Night Live” have gleefully mocked them. Even Caitham glumly reveals that her husband “rolls his eyes” when the holiday onslaught begins. (He undoubtedly will be getting a lump of coal in his stocking).

Vacaville resident Lisa Rico used to be among the naysayers. That was

until early this year, when a longtime friend, Debbie Segura, was in the final stages of a battle with terminal brain cancer.

During the months before her death, Rico would drop by and spend some TV time with Segura, who only wanted to watch Hallmark movies.

“It was a really lovely and calming experience,” Rico recalls. “They made her feel good. And considering that she was in so much pain, that’s really saying something.”

Rico soon came to believe that such films “serve a beautiful purpose.” And since Segura’s passing in April, Rico has often found herself watching more of them – with an 8-by-10 photo of her pal perched right near the TV. “I’m still watching them with her,” Rico says.

“So often this year, I just can’t bring myself to watch the news. The world is so dark and depressing. So I go and find the Hallmark Channel. There are times when you just want to tune out everything else and watch someone fall in love.”

Obviously, many fans – so-called “Hallmarkies” – will be yearning for the same thing, as their favorite channels unleash a blizzard of films that includes cheeky titles like “On the 12th Date of Christmas,” “Jingle Bell Bride” and “Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater.”

“Collective” premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall and screened at Sundance in January. Even earlier this year, the film felt urgent, expressing an essential truth in the zeitgeist about political corruption and the role of the press in holding federal agencies and corporations accountable for endangering lives.

But in November 2020, eight months into the Covid-19 pandemic ravaging the United States, there’s no denying that this film about the very real dangers of a government lying to its citizens about a health care crisis is almost unbelievably prescient, and a grave cautionary tale. Gripping, incisive and shockingly powerful, “Collective” is easily the documentary of the year. starring Jonathan Bennett and Brad Harder) as well as a woman who discovers via a DNA test that she’s Jewish (“Love, Lights, Hanukkah!” with Mia Kirshner, Ben Savage and Marilu Henner).

“This year, our holiday table is bigger and more welcoming than ever,” says Vicary. “The movies reflect our most diverse representation of talent, stories and families.”

Hallmark is also expanding its holiday empire with, among other things, wines, books, a new Monopoly game, “Countdown to Christmas”-themed tea tins, special apparel and, of course, enough reruns of past classics to keep viewers experiencing a potent case of mistletoe merriment through January.

That’s all fine with Caitham, who encourages others to jump on the Hallmark bandwagon.

Top 10 medical innovations for 2021 prompt thankfulness A

s Thanksgiving approaches, it is worth noting that there is more to life than the novel coronavirus.

The Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit leader in medical treatment and research, recently released its “Top Ten Medical Innovations for 2021.”

We need some good Scott Anderson news. The list Ask Dr. Scott of Top 10 innovations derives from an annual Medical Innovation Summit, which dates back two decades.

The Cleveland Clinic itself was founded in 1921 and is known for its pioneering heart surgery, the first face transplant in the United States and other landmark breakthroughs.

Here is the Cleveland Clinic list, derived from clevelandclinic.org, subsection “Top-10-for-2021.”

1. Gene therapy for hemoglobinopathies.

The hemoglobin molecule ferries oxygen to tissues.

Sickle cell disease and various so-called “thalassemias” cause fatigue, pain and shortened life spans.

For example, one out of 365 African-Americans is afflicted by sickle cell disease.

At least 330,000 children worldwide have sickle cell disease or thalassemia. Ongoing studies may lead to gene therapy for these conditions. Theoretically, these innovations may lead to

future cures.

2. Novel drug for primary-progressive multiple sclerosis.

8. Vacuum-induced uterine tamponade device.

This minimally invasive device battles excessive maternal bleeding, which afflicts up to 5% of women giving birth.

Typically diagnosed between ages 20 and 50 years, multiple sclerosis causes relapsing or remitting damage to the central nervous system. Genes and environmental factors appear to play a role. The damage to the nervous system is mediated by the destruction of protective sheaths surrounding nerves.

A Phase 2 study of a new drug (ocrelizumab) showed an effect on CD20-positive B cells that may slow MS progression.

9. PARP inhibitors for prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among American men.

Drugs that inhibit the poly ADP-ribose polymerase enzyme are breakthroughs in so-called “targeted cancer therapy.”

3. Smartphone-connected pacemaker devices.

Bluetooth-enabled pacemakers are here. Mobile applications are now being developed that use this technology to fight irregular heart rhythms.

4. Cystic fibrosis medication.

One in 35 Americans carry the causative gene for cystic fibrosis, which afflicts 30,000 Americans. Manifestations include clogging of the airways with tenacious mucus, leading to bronchitis, pneumonia and premature death. A new combination treatment targets the transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene associated with mucus development. So-called “CFTR modulators,” combined with “chloride channel openers,” represent promising treatment advances that may dimin-

5. Universal hepatitis C treatment.

Hepatitis C appears overshadowed in the news by the current pandemic, yet 3.2 million Americans remain infected by this virus. Threequarters of those infected are unaware of their status. Typically, this infection is spread through exposures to contaminated blood. The number of reported cases tripled between 2010 and 2016, potentially leading to death due to liver failure or hepatic carcinoma. A combination medicine (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir), cur-

6. Bubble CPAP in premature babies.

7. Increased access to telemedicine.

Telemedicine is exploding in my own practice as physicians and patients seek to minimize face-to-face contact during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

10. Immunologic therapies for migraine.

The pain of migraine is a headache for patients and physicians alike. Nearly 40 million Americans suffer from this paroxysmal neurological and vascular disorder. New studies exploring calcitonin generelated peptide blockade with monoclonal antibodies are bearing fruit, with up to 50% response rates.

As 2021 dawns, medical innovations should prompt a sense of hope among all of us. I also feel pride in America’s role as a medical innovation leader.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Rediscover the magic of the holidays

for your health

Dear Annie: While I don’t hate holidays, nor dread them, as “Holiday Anxiety” expressed, I don’t go “all in” either. I believe in moderation, in all things, including moderation.

All my close family has gone to their rewards. None of my high school and earlier friends has time or money for more than immediate family, and my partner passed a decade ago. I’m 61 and find myself refreshingly able to control my own life.

I do miss the family traditions, the scents and the Annie Lane decorations; I am also now Dear Annie aware of the time and effort my parents and grandparents put in to create these memories, and I am grateful. And I absolutely hate Halloween decor immediately replaced by Christmas stuff. Where’s Thanksgiving?

For “Holiday Anxiety,” I suggest: 1. I make gift baskets for shelter animals and their keepers. Cat litter, dog food, paper towels and sanitizer might not seem very “gifty,” but you drop some off with gift cards and pet toys, and you’re a hero.

I gave a local shelter administrator a glittery holiday card including $100; the lady burst into tears, which made me proud and happy. Spend $100 and get a million in gratitude back.

2. Our country is chock-a-block with kids who eat ketchup sandwich meals, if they eat at all. Shames me, ’cuz even though I’m a disabled veteran, I have no excuse for being fat, except I eat too much and have too much. I give through the VA, Catholic charities, The Salvation Army and do food drives. If you hate the holidays, then make them better for someone else. You will benefit. Giving is the best reward.

3. Walk the streets and absorb the atmosphere. See the kids, bright-eyed and full of wonder; look at the window displays. Smell the food, the firewood, the goodies. Just be in the moment.

4. If possible, go ice skating. It is impossible to be bitter and holiday hatin’ on a pair of skates, especially if the ’40s music is on.

Try. You can’t, even on your butt.

5. A small decoration can work wonders.

Unlike my parents, who created holiday displays visible from space – really – I have a 4-foot artificial tree, decorated with heirloom ornaments and light strings. I buy pine-scented stuff, and, like the ’70s high schooler I am still, I drape a cord of little lights around my bedroom. Those lil twinkly lights make me feel at home for the holidays.

6. Enjoy seasonal music. Force yourself if you “hate” it. Listen to the Christian and secular, feel and fall into the lyrics.

You’ll feel better.

And if your writer can do none of this, that’s fine, too. Some folk just can’t. I wish I could reach out and share my take on the holidays with “Holiday Anxiety,” ’cuz I used to think I hated them, too.

I’m alone, but not lonely. I’m not a Christian, but love the idea of Christmas.

I take Thanksgiving very seriously, as I have much for which to be thankful.

I don’t “decorate” nor do I “buy special things,” and all with whom I would have exchanged gifts are deceased. And given my lack of kitchen skill, any cookies I made would most likely get me arrested or find me homeless, after burning my house down.

But I enjoy the season, simply because I enjoy the pleasure of others. I cannot Grinch in the presence of joy, just can’t. Is it possible “Holiday Anxiety” could come to the “light,” just accept the message and ignore the commercialism?

Peace, safety, and love upon you and yours, ma’am, in this time of turmoil and disruption. — Ryan C. Dear Ryan: I couldn’t have said it better myself. Giving and appreciating what we have are the best rewards. Thank you for sharing and spreading some holiday cheer.

hen the weather starts to change and the days feel shorter because it gets darker sooner, many people start to think about changing out their wardrobe or craving some of their favorite winter foods.

But the change in weather, with less sunlight, cooler temperatures, rain and fog may create a different reaction for some.

It’s called seasonal affective disorder, also known as SAD. It is a type of depression or mania that is related to changes in seasons. The most common type is depression that occurs during the fall or winter months and improves during the spring. However, there are some types where the depression can occur over the summer months. The exact cause of this is unknown but SAD can worsen if there is additional stress that people are facing.

It could be complicated this year with the changing dynamics of our society in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The impacts of Covid-19 have been felt physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.

The change in weather could also

make people feel more isolated.

My patients will often say they know when their moods will change or can predict times of the year that are harder for them. However, some of these changes are normal as moods naturally fluctuate over time. We recognize SAD as a disorder when the seasonal mood changes include functional impairment to one’s everyday life. These symptoms can include depressed or irritable moods, decreased interest or pleasure, changes in weight, changes in sleep, being restless or slowed down, loss of energy, difficulty thinking or focusing, and/or thoughts of death or suicide.

SAD has been found to be more common in adult women, although it can affect men and women of all ages.

If you are affected by SAD, here are some things that may help: n Maintain good sleep hygiene and a sleep schedule. n Get daily aerobic exercise. n Take regular walks outside, daily if possible. n Improve lighting to get bright light, particularly in the morning. n Dawn simulation may help. This uses a low-intensity light that turns on at a particular time in the morning before you wake up and slowly

gets brighter.

If you know someone who is suffering, consider reaching out and making yourself available to talk. Depression tends to make people feel isolated.

They may need support in finding help and remembering to follow through on interventions.

Most people can safely manage their symptoms. But seek help from a medical professional if symptoms worsen in severity to where they significantly impair the ability to function. Suicidal thoughts are always a sign to seek professional help. Additionally, some people turn to unhealthy coping strategies (such as increased alcohol consumption), which is another warning sign.

Seasons change throughout the year, but your mood does not have to change with them. Make time to practice gratitude and attend to selfcare like getting a good night’s sleep.

Having a regular schedule and staying engaged with friends and family, even if only online, can go a long way to preventing SAD. Dr. Matthew Holve is a psychiatrist with the Permanente Medical Group at Kaiser Permanente in Napa Solano, a partner of Solano Public Health.

Bishop urges Catholics not to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;jump on the Covid-19 vaccine bandwagonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Citing ethical concerns about the use of stem cells in vaccine development, Bishop Joseph Brennan of the Diocese of Fresno is urging Catholics not to â&#x20AC;&#x153;jump on the Covid-19 vaccine bandwagon.â&#x20AC;?

In a video shared by the diocese this week, Brennan said the race to produce a coronavirus vaccine has spurred researchers to make use of morally objectionable materials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to maintain a joyful spirit, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to rain on anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade,â&#x20AC;?

Brennan said he is not opposed to vaccines in general, and noted that he has received vaccines for the flu and pneumonia, but said he is specifically opposed to vaccines derived from babies â&#x20AC;&#x153;whose lives were taken.â&#x20AC;?

He cited the Pfizer vaccine by name, which â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with another vaccine from Moderna â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has been roundly celebrated as a breakthrough in the fight against the coronavirus.

We are told in Acts 4:10-12: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by this name this man stands here before you in good health. He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.â&#x20AC;?

Are you looking for a political leader who will support your sin or are you ready to think about the future?

Whatever is wrong in your life, your country or your future, Jesus can fix it. Simply confess to him you are a sinner and accept him as your savior.

In brief Vice chief retires after longest run in job WASHINGTON — Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Stephen “Seve” Wilson retired Nov. 13 in a ceremony at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., ending the longest tenure in the position.

Retired Gen. David L. Goldfein, the 21st Air Force chief of staff, presided over the ceremony.

“It’s just an honor to do this; not only for an incredible leader who has left a legacy as the longestserving vice chief of staff in the history of the Air Force, but also for a man I admire, and someone I’m proud to call my friend,” Goldfein said.

Wilson served as vice chief of staff from July 2016 until earlier this month.

Base builds new training complex JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas — The Air Force Civil Engineer Center is leading a massive $700 million, multi-year construction project to modernize the Air Force for new basic military training recruits.

Construction of the basic military training west campus at Joint Base SanAntonio-Lackland, Texas, is a multifaceted effort designed to replace decentralized, aged housing and training infrastructure with modern living and educational facilities.

The project will improve the Air Force’s necessary capacity to conduct training missions more efficiently at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, the basic training location for enlisted recruits.

“The build of the campus is essential to advance the Air Force’s training capabilities,” said Col. Dave Norton, director of Air Force Civil Engineer Center facility engineering directorate.

The undertaking is a partnership between the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the 802nd Civil Engineer Squadron, Merrick & Company and the 737th Training Wing, the largest training wing in the Air Force.

Veterans, pilots revisit fighters at Travis Senior Airman Christian Conrad TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — A three-time ace of World War II, Clarence “Bud” Anderson hasn’t reached his 98th year by mincing words.

An ace, a term used to describe a fighter pilot who’s been credited with shooting down five enemy aircraft, isn’t a title earned by hesitance, Anderson said, nor by an overreliance on technology.

“Back then, we didn’t have drones – you had to shoot your enemy down your damn self.”

To him, the pilots of yore were defined by their gumption.

“Dogfights were an everyday occurrence back in World War II,” he said. “We didn’t have radar, so what kills you got were got by outmaneuvering and outpacing the enemy. Bottom line, we broke the back of the (German air force) by being better pilots than them.”

During a visit Nov. 10 to Travis Air Force Base, Anderson, along with fellow World War II pilot Dean “Diz” Laird, was able to experience first hand what the most modern iteration of his former profession looks like courtesy of the 56th

Suppa, along with other F-35 pilots, met with Laird.

Fighter Wing out of Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, and Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake.

Both installations sent fighter jets to Travis as a means of letting their pilots interact with the aviation legends.

“This is an honor, truly,” said Lt. Col. Nicholas Suppa, 56th Operations Support Squadron commander and F-35 Lightning II pilot. “To hear about these guys as a kid and to now be able to talk to them as peers is an indescribable feeling.”

For A nderson and Laird, the

respect was mutual.

“These (aircraft) are certainly no (P-51) Mustangs,” Anderson said with a laugh. “The capabilities of the gear these men are running are way beyond anything we flew. Give them another 30 or 40 years, though, and they’ll be in the same boat as us. The curve just goes like this,” he said, as his hand made a motion of ramping sharply into the sky.

The aircraft brought

by Luke and Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, three F-35s and one F-18F Super Hornet, respectively, offer a

bevy of upgrades from the then-technological marvel that was the P-51 Mustang – namely, a top speed difference of nearly 1,000 mph, stealth capabilities and radar.

While it’s fun to think of the same magnitude of upgrades to this generation’s technology, those advancements only ever get implemented from one place – the military members themselves, said Col. Corey Simmons, 60th Air Mobility Wing commander.

“Travis is at the forefront of innovation,” Simmons said. “If there’s See Pilots, Page C7

Five military medical treatment facilities in the National Capital Region, Texas and California are participating in a Phase 3 clinical trial testing the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine in development under Operation Warp Speed.

The Department of Defense sites are enrolling study participants, with a goal to recruit up to 1,000 volunteers in each of the three market areas towards the total AstraZeneca clinical trial enrollment of 30,000 people.

Operation Warp Speed, a multiple-agency U.S. Government effort led by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense, is working with the private sector with the aims to deliver safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine doses to the American public beginning in January.

Warp Speed is funding clinical trials evaluating several vaccine candidates which were selected based on promising data on safety, immune response, and protection in animal studies and safety and immune response data in earlystage trials in humans.

Each of the trials is designed to collect data on how well a vaccine candidate protects against Covid-19 and on the safety of the vaccine candidate in a larger population, including people most at risk.

“The Department of Defense continues to play a key role in the development of a potential Covid-19 vaccine,” said Thomas McCaffery, assistant secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. “Now that vaccines have passed the first phases of testing for safety, dosing, and response, we have moved into the next phase where volunteers are needed to join large clinical studies.”

Naval Medical Center San Diego; Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center in San Antonio; Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland; and Fort Belvoir Community Hospital in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, are participating.

Travis takes maintenance tips from Tesla Nicholas Pilch

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE

BERKELEY — Airmen assigned to the 60th Logistics Readiness Squadron from Travis Air Force Base partnered Nov. 12 with Tesla in Berkeley to evaluate and improve existing vehicle maintenance procedures for the installation.

Fifteen airmen toured the service center and learned about Tesla’s vehicle acceptance process and managing mobile repair, parts warehousing and databasing, and the customer experience.

“Accelerate change or lose,” said Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., Air Force chief of staff, and that is exactly what the airmen at Travis are doing.

“We’re lucky to be near Tesla, one of the most cutting-edge and modernized automotive companies,” said Master Sgt. Jerry Voyles, a vehicle fleet manager at Travis. “We wanted to take an opportunity to get eyes on their processes, to learn how to incorporate new technology and innovative processes in how

Vehicle maintenance technicians from Travis Air Force Base watch a song-and-dance demonstration by a Tesla Model X during a tour, Nov. 12, of the Tesla Service Center in Berkeley. we manage the vehicle fleet at Travis, Air Mobility Command and the Air Force.”

The tour was provided by Blaine Huston, Tesla Service Center manager.

“What a wonderful opportunity,” Huston said. “What better way to honor these individuals than inviting them to our house,

share with them cutting-edge information on how we provide service and manage our fleets.”

Fleet maintenance has various processes that could be modernized, ranging from mobile maintenance to inventory management. Some of the fleet’s processes aren’t set up to optimize both the customer and main-

tainer’s time, and the vehicle’s downtime while getting serviced.

On the top of Voyles’ list is a better vehicle intake or mobile maintenance process. Voyles said, in a perfect world, the fleet on base could incorporate geotagging when requesting maintenance via their smartphone so they could know exactly where to dispatch in the wake of a vehicle needing to be serviced or make the determination that the vehicle needs to be brought in.

An example Voyles referenced was a situation where a vehicle had a broken tail light. Right now, a customer would have to bring in the vehicle, turn it in, do levels of paperwork then repair the tail light, which gives the vehicle a lot of downtime. A better way for that process to work is for a set-in-stone mobile maintenance procedure, which Voyles hopes to learn from Tesla.

“About 25% of mobile calls could’ve been fixed by the customer,” Voyles said.

Occasionally, a customer will be out with a vehicle and See Tesla, Page C7

From Page C6 something will stop working, Voyles said. The customer calls the vehicle maintenance shop to see if someone can come out to repair the vehicle. When these requests happen, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a process in place to record and compare historical technical issues that could be fixed by the customer. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good experience for customers, Voyles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the communication squadron has a customer who needs to troubleshoot, they have an existing list of troubleshooting steps to follow,â&#x20AC;?
