FAIRFIELD — Shifts this week in how that state ranks counties for novel coronavirus infection have once again opened the doors for a return to in-person classroom instruction and may soon allow some high school sports to resume. The Fairfield-Suisun School District governing board continues to wrestle with the issue of educating students in the time of Covid-19, evident Thursday when the matter was once again a topic

Officers who arrived at the scene found that the man had barricaded himself inside the apartment. A standoff ensued and continued for nearly eight hours as other residents of the apartments were evacuated. Police negotiators during the standoff were not successful in their efforts to engage the man and get him to surrender, Cardona reports. Police used what Cardona describes as “distraction devices” and “chemical agents” during the attempts to get the man to surrender. See Women, Page A9

A man who barricaded himself inside the apartment was later taken into custody. Sgt. Katie Cardona reports the incident began shortly after 12:40 a.m. when officers responded to a call for a welfare check at the Rocky Hill Veterans Apartments at 582 Rocky Hill Road.

FAIRFIELD — Covid-19 has taken a toll on many families, including that of lifelong Fairfield resident Gina Keller Kaye, who lost three family members to the disease – her mother, brother and an uncle – within three weeks. “The family just seems so different now,” she wrote in an email to the Daily Republic. “It’s going to take some getting used to.” It started with Kaye’s 13-year- INSIDE old nephew Solano’s case having flu-like numbers symptoms.

A few days later his father, Kaye’s brother, David Castaneda, 39, began to feel ill and assumed he had caught the flu from his son. “The only problem was that he felt worse and worse every day,” Kaye wrote. “He spent almost all of his time in bed.” The decision was made after two weeks to call 911 because Castaneda was having trouble breathing. He was taken to NorthBay Medical Center and was immediately put on a ventilator and placed in an induced coma, Kaye wrote. “He spent five weeks in the hospital,” she wrote. “During that time, his heart stopped three times, his kidneys started to fail, his oxygen kept going down and his temperature at one point went to 109.” About the same time their son fell ill, his mother, Cathy Keller Castaneda, 64, and father, Eugene Castaneda, 63, were ill. Eugene Castaneda took a Covid-19 test and was waiting for results. “My parents assumed that they had a winter cold,” Kay wrote. She went to her parents’ house to take her father and mother to the emergency room. She also called for her father’s Covid-19 test result and was told it was positive. Then, her mother said she couldn’t move or breathe and wanted Kaye to call 911. “My mom held her chest as they helped her into the ambulance,” Kaye wrote. “That was the last time that I got to see her.”

SUISUN CITY — The city will have access to two beds at the Shelter Solano facility in Fairfield starting Monday. They will be offered on a first-come, firstserved basis, according to Suisun City Police Chief Aaron Roth. The City Council held a workshop Tuesday evening to address homeless encampments. The virtual forum offered council members and the public the opportunity to field questions and to get answers. Michael Zeiss wanted to know the average monthly cost for clean-

ing up encampments and the percentage of people living in the encampments who want permanent housing. Roth said he didn’t have an official tally on the cost. Mayor Lori Wilson said the major cost is staff time. A very low percentage are interested in permanent housing, Roth said. Food and health care assistance are most requested. Steve Olry and Councilwoman Jane Day both broached the subject of people sleeping in doorways. Roth told them to call the police. If it’s

Woman’s missing high school class ring returned 32 years after it disappeared Tribune Content Agency SAN DIEGO — Back in 1988, Maria Aviles’ was crushed when her high school class ring – a reminder of her happiest days at James Madison High School in Clairemont in the 1970s – disappeared from the bedroom of her home. For 32 years, there was no trace of the keepsake. Then last month, the bluejeweled ring unexpectedly resurfaced in a Facebook post by a man in Maine hoping to find its long-lost owner. A fellow Madison High alumna himself, he had purchased the ring in a New Hampshire antique shop last fall. But when he discovered her name engraved inside, he decided to track her down and return it. Aviles, 60, said she wonders how the ring made its journey across the country and where it’s been hiding all these years. But she’s grateful for the serendipitous reunion with her most-treasured high school memento. “When I first heard that someone found my ring, I thought ‘I’m looking for a feel-good moment.’ Good things can happen and there are good people out there and this is what happened to me,” Aviles said. Born Maria Martinez, Aviles has spent her whole life in Clairemont, attending Hawthorne Elementary, Edison Junior High and then Madison. Most of her classmates were close friends who she has known since kindergarten and she is still tight with today. So when

Maria Martinez Aviles wears her Class of 1978 ring that was returned to her at her home in San Diego, Jan. 22. her parents bought her a Madison senior class ring, complete with her name “Maria Martinez” engraved inside the band, she treasured it as a tangible representation of her high school experience. “They bought it for my senior year and it meant a lot to me. My mom gave me her senior ring, so I wanted to be able to pass my ring on to my daughters if I ever had any,” she said. After high school, Martinez married and became a mom. Then in her late 20s she went through a divorce and moved back into her parents’ home. She kept her class ring in a jewelry box on the dresser in her bedroom. One day she went into the room to get a pair of earrings and the whole jewelry box was gone. She said she’s certain she knows the person who took the box but she was never able to prove it or recover any of

the items inside. “My mom just told me ‘you have to let it go. Chalk it up to experience and move on,’ ” she said. Life did move on for Aviles, who married again and now runs a daycare business from her Clairemont home. In 2015, her son from her second marriage, Juan Aviles Jr., graduated from Madison High, as well. Then in mid-December, one of her girlfriends from Madison tagged Aviles in a post on the high school’s alumni page on Facebook. The son of a man in Maine was trying to help his dad track down the owner of the engraved class ring. Aviles said she recognized it from the picture immediately because her ring had a distinctive dark section on one side. She called the man, who didn’t want his name used for this article. He told her that he had also graduated from Madison High in the mid-1970s and moved to the East Coast, where he enjoys shopping at vintage and antique shops in New England. He purchased the small women’s ring for $20, not for its nostalgic value but because he liked the blue stone, which he hoped to use in a pinkie ring of his own design. But when he took the ring to a jeweler to have the stone removed, the jeweler discovered the engraving. The man hadn’t known Aviles in high school as they were not in the same class, but he thought she might want the ring back if he could find her. With his son’s help, they found the alumni page and posted

photos of the ring. Within days of their phone call, the man mailed Aviles the ring, which arrived just before Christmas. Because she said it’s the best Christmas present she could have ever received, and it represents kindness and goodwill, she hung the ring on her Christmas tree. She said it will now become a permanent part of her holiday ornament collection. “There’s no price you can put on a sentimental item,” Aviles said. “. . . This ring is my one connection to that time in high school. It’s really precious to me.”

Solano mental health efforts to take steps back with funding cuts Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors this week approved an $81.89 million, three-year Mental Health Services Act plan. T her e is $30.13 million allocated for t he cur rent 2020-21 fiscal year, but the next two years see brown funding declines. The 2021-22 allocation is $27.77 million and the 2022-23 allocation is $23.99 million. The loss of anticipated funding, the board was told, will cut into programs that can help prevent or intercept more serious mental health issues. For example, the supervisors were told that funding has to be set aside to pay for hospitalization costs, but some of the cuts are in areas that could keep at-risk individuals from having to go into hospitals in the first place. “(The) county’s priority population is the seriously mentally ill adults and children who have Medi-Cal or are uninsured. In the event of a budget crisis, efforts would be made to preserve core services to meet the needs of these consumers,” a report to the board states.

The report does indicate that the Behavioral Health Division of the Department of Health and Social Services will shift Medi-Cal funding to help supplement the losses. “I don’t think this year’s cuts will be as bad as we anticipated,” Supervisor Monica Brown, who sits on the Mental Health Advisory Board, said in a phone interview Friday. “But what is going to hurt mental health (programs) is we will have less people out and about to help people.” Mental Health Services Act funding supports nearly half of the Behavioral Health system of care, some of the programs in which are mandated. But not all. The Crisis Stabilization Unit and Mobile Crisis program are not mandated, nor is support for housing that is not part of the California Housing Finance Agency. Keeping people in their homes, the board was told, can be one of the most important preventive efforts so the mental health issues of individuals do not worsen. Additionally, the Mentally Ill Offender Programming, Employment Program and Adult Wellness Centers are not See Mental, Page A4

Man charged in Fairfield killing to face trial for later attack on Solano jail guard Glen Faison

gfaison@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD â€” A man charged with stabbing another man to death in early 2018 faces trial for an attack on a Solano County jail guard nearly two years later. Derek E. Dunlap Jr., 29, is charged with one count of attempted murder for the attack Feb. 8, 2020, on a female jail guard along with two counts of assaulting a custodial officer and one count of obstructing an officer, the latter a misdemeanor. A two-day probable cause hearing in the case in Vallejo ended

Wednesday with Dunlap ordered to stand trial. Du n lap is accused of quickly approaching the female guard from behind and grabbing her by the throat before she dunlap could see him coming. Dunlap continued to choke her until another guard heard the commotion from upstairs and came running to help her. The second guard used his baton to get Dunlap to release the female guard, at which point the District Attorneyâ€™s Office reports Dunlap attacked the second guard. More guards

came running to the scene and were able to subdue Dunlap. Dunlap also faces a murder charge for the stabbing death Feb. 21, 2018, of Alexander Lind, 28, of Benicia. Both Dunlap and Lind were homeless at the time. Two other homeless men testified for the prosecution at Dunlapâ€™s probable cause hearing, describing the altercation that left Lind dead on the concrete under the overhang of a nonprofit school at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Empire Street.

The schoolâ€™s surveillance camera captured much of the altercation and the attack on Lind, who was stabbed some 20 times in the chest, back, arms, face and buttocks. In addition to the stab wounds, Fairfield police found Lindâ€™s throat had been slashed deeply, earlobe to earlobe, nearly decapitating him. Dunlap, who has pleaded not guilty in each case, remains in custody without bail. He is scheduled to return to court Feb. 9 in Vallejo for arraignment in the attempted murder case and to potentially have trial dates set in the murder case.

Public Works forwards 5-year, $108M, plan to Solano supes Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD â€” The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will be presented a $108.31 million Public Works Five Year Capital Improvement Plan. For the third straight week, the meeting will be conducted virtually. It is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. A closed session, during which the supervisors will be updated on labor negotiations, follows the public session. To learn how to participate, go to www.

solanocounty.com, follow the Board of Supervisors link under the Departments heading and click on the meetings, videos and agendas link. The five-year Public Works plan, which goes through fiscal year 202526, is updated each year. The $108.31 million worth of projects are not guaranteed to be completed, or even started, and currently there is only $30.4 million in actual funding available. The 2020-21 project list includes a total of $10.86 million of projects listed, all of

which are funded. The largest share of that budget is $100,000 toward four right of way acquisition sites, all of which are expected to be completed during the 2021 calendar year. Board members also will consider receiving a presentation on supervisorial redistricting requirements from the 2020 Census, including the possibility of forming a Technical Advisory Committee. The issue has raised some controversy in the past as there are those who believe the supervi-

sors should not be drawing districts to which they are elected. There has been equal pushback by members of the board who are not willing to give up that authority. Board members also will consider implementing the recommendations in the Community Investment Fund Assessment Report of the Solano Childrenâ€™s Alliance and Child Abuse Prevention Council. A $750,000 intergovernmental agreement with Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation for 2021 also comes before the board.

Earl â€˜Buzzyâ€™ Burton May 6, 1923 â€” Jan. 2, 2021

Earl Harvey Burton, age 98, died Jan. 2, 2021, with his loving wife Beverly by his side. Earl lived his entire life in Vacaville except for the two years he served in the Philippines as a Navy machinist during World War II. After the war was over he worked as a master machinist building submarines at Mare Island. Earl was a proud member of the Burton family, hardworking and navy veteran careful stewards of the Burton Ranch, that trace their time in Vacaville back to 1885 when Earlâ€™s grandfather, Richard Burton, settled here. Earl â€˜Buzzyâ€™ Burton gained his nickname because his sister, Esma (1920-1925), could not say â€˜brotherâ€™ and called him â€˜Buzzyâ€™ instead. One of his passions was competitive shooting and he used that skill for big game hunting as well. Earl was an exceptional marksman, becoming the civilian shooting champion for 1,000-yard range in 1962 and winning the NRA National High Power Rifle Championships Enlisted Menâ€™s Trophy in 1976. He loaded his own rounds and painstakingly counted out the grains of gunpowder so that each round would be exact. Earlâ€™s self control and attention to detail were remarkable, but he will be remembered for his quick smile and the sparkle in his eye. To be in his company was to be touched by a truly kind and warm soul. He will be missed. A memorial service will be held on the Burton Ranch at a later date due to Covid.

Michigan prison to treat entire inmate population for scabies Tribune Content Agency DETROIT — The entire prison population at Parnall Correctional Facility in Jackson will be treated for scabies after the Michigan Department of Corrections declared a facility-wide outbreak this week, a spokesman said. Prison officials have ordered medication and plan to treat the 1,286 men housed at Parnall by early next week, department s p oke sm a n Chris Gautz said Friday. Gautz said a scabies outbreak was declared for one housing unit on Jan. 22 after several suspected cases were identified. Scabies had spread to at least three more housing units by Thursday, when the department’s chief medical officer determined that the entire prison should be placed on outbreak status, he said. The number of confirmed and suspected

cases at the prison wasn’t immediately clear Friday evening. Microscopic scabies mites burrow in the skin and lay eggs, causing an intense, itchy rash. Scabies is easily spread in crowded spaces where there is skinto-skin contact among people. Infestation can also be spread from the sharing of items such as clothing, towels and bedding, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A Parnall official told prisoners in an email that their clothing would be collected and washed. Most of their property will be placed in plastic bags, sealed and kept in a locker for an isolation period. Prisoners were told they could keep certain items that would require cleaning, such as religious items, televisions, radios and medication, according to the message shared with the Free Press.

The owners of Playland’s Castaway Cove, here in a file image, have vowed to rebuild after a four-alarm fire on the boardwalk in Ocean City, New Jersey, damaged that business, and others, Saturday.

Huge fire damages NJ boardwalk, amusement park Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — George Flowers was walking to get his first cup of coffee Saturday morning when he looked out of the window of his 14th-floor condo and saw a massive black plume of smoke billowing over the boardwalk in Ocean City, N.J. “I got onto Facebook Live as soon as I could,” Flowers, 67, said. “Then the flames erupted and it looked like a full block of the boardwalk was on fire.” According to a news release from the Ocean City Fire Department, firefighters responded to the 1000 block of the boardwalk at 7:40 a.m. as fire moved through an area that contains Playland’s Castaway Cove, Hamburger Construction Co. and Dairy Queen. Firefighters, police and public works employees established a three-block perimeter around the blaze while firefighters from seven other area departments assisted in extinguishing the flames. By late Saturday morning, the fire was declared under

control, but first responders remained on scene to handle hot spots, according to the release. The department said none of the buildings was occupied at the time of the fire and there were no reported injuries. While the boardwalk does not appear to have suffered any structural damage, the building housing the businesses was extensively damaged, the department said. The owners of Playland’s Castaway Cove, located at 1020 Boardwalk, vowed to rebuild in a post on Facebook. “We struggle to comprehend this mornings events and what will be of the next few months, but we can assure you this, WE WILL REBUILD!!” the owners wrote, in part. “We have a secondary entrance that will now be our main entrance for the foreseeable future. We will be open sooner rather than later! For now, hug your loved ones, pray for the first responders and know that we will be back in the spring of 2021!”

Biden, Democrats weigh keeping $15 minimum wage in Covid-19 relief package Tribune Content Agency President Joe Biden is weighing whether to keep a national $15-anhour minimum wage in his $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus package with Republican opposition. With moderate GOP senators objecting to the plan, the president has to balance the benefits of a hike against the dangers of losing support for the desperately needed relief plan. Biden backed the $15 hourly wage during his presidential campaign and progressives are urging him to keep it in the sprawling relief package that would include another round of direct payments to American taxpayers. But pro-business GOP moderates oppose the hike during an economic downturn when businesses should be encouraged to add as many workers as possible. They also say it’s wrong to include measures not directly related to the pandemic. They are warning that including it in the Covid relief package could be a poison pill that would cause them to vote against the entire plan. “The more you throw into this bucket of Covid relief that’s not really related to the crisis, the more you risk the credibility with the American people that you’re really

President Joe Biden signs an executive order related to American manufacturing in the South Court Auditorium of the White House complex in Washington, D.C., Monday. sincere about the crisis,” Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, a key Senate moderate, also says the $15 minumum wage “complicates” t he relief measure. If all Republicans vote against the package, all 50 Democrats would need to support it. They would also need approval from the parliamentarian to use a legislative sleight of hand known as reconciliation. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., says that’s exactly what Democrats should do, reminding reporters that the GOP used the maneuver to give tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans and a failed effort to kill Obamacare. “You know what? I think we can use reconciliation to protect the needs of working families,” Sanders said.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., says the Senate will start work next week on getting the Covid-19 relief bill passed using the reconciliation process. He hopes to win passage by March but that goal will be more difficult without any GOP support. The minimum wage provision would gradually increase the lowest allowable wage from its current paltry $7.25 level, where it has sat since 2009. Some opponents argue that a large increase in the minimum wage would lead many employers to cut the number of workers they have on their payrolls. “There’s no question that raising the minimum wage, especially to $15, will put some small businesses out of business and will cost a lot of low-wage workers their jobs,” said

Neil Bradley, the chief policy officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Republicans and business groups say they are open to a more modest minimum wage hike, but say it shouldn’t be tied to pandemic relief, which many of them generally support. Mary Kay Henry, international president of the Service Employees International Union, argues that increasing the minimum wage is directly related to the pandemic because it would benefit those workers on the front lines of fighting coronavirus. “They’ve been called essential, but they all believe they’ve been treated as expendable,” Henry said. “They don’t earn enough to be able to put food on the table and keep themselves and their families safe and healthy.”

‘Divorce is not an option’ US, Mexico reset relations in post-Trump era Tribune Content Agency

Sharaf Maksumov/Dreamstime/TNS

More than 520 new words and definitions have just been added to the Merriam-Webster website.

Merriam-Webster adds more than 520 new words to dictionary

Includes ‘COVID-19,’ ‘second gentleman’ and ‘sapiosexual’ Tribune Content Agency Merriam-Webster, the United States’ leading language provider announced it was adding over 520 new words and definitions to the publisher’s website. These new words include “COVID-19,” “second gentleman,” “long-hauler,” “flex,” “ASMR” and “sapiosexual.” Before the pandemic, “long-hauler” was defined as a person or vehicle that travels long distances, but it now has an additional definition: “a person who experiences one or more long-term effects following initial improvement or recovery from a serious illness (such as Covid-19).” “ASMR,” or autonomous sensory meridian response, means “a pleasant tingling sensation that originates on the back of the scalp and often spreads to the neck and upper spine, that occurs in some people in response to a stimulus (such as a particular kind of sound or movement), and that tends to have a calming effect.” “Second gentleman” has come into use because of Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff. Merriam-Webster defines it as “the husband or male partner of a vice president or second in command of a country or jurisdiction.” As a verb, “flex” means to bend; informally, this word is defined as “to talk in a boastful or aggressive way.” So how does a word or a revised definition of a word qualify for entry in the dictionary? Emily Brewster, a senior editor from Merriam-Webster, says the have lexicographers criteria that are somewhat flexible. “In order for a word to

‘In order for a word to be considered for entry in our dictionaries, we have to have evidence that shows this is really an established member of the language.’ — Emily Brewster, a senior editor from Merriam-Webster

be considered for entry in our dictionaries, we have to have evidence that shows this is really an established member of the language,” she says. “For that to be the case, we look to see that a word is widely used but in a wide variety of texts by a wide variety of people over an extensive period of time. . . . We want the use (of the word) to demonstrate that there’s an established meaning.” Brewster notes lexicographers don’t only look at published, edited texts; nor do lexicographers create new words out of thin air. Rather, they observe and report on language. For instance, the word “yeet” has gained popularity and use over the last couple of years. Brewster uses this as an example of a word that exists and is used but it’s meaning is unclear, which is why it has not qualified for entry in the dictionary. Overall, “yeet” is positive but can mean excitement or approval. The term “COVID-19” was added in the dictionary in a record 34 days. Lexicographers usually measure a word’s addition to the dictionary in years, sometimes decades, according to the most recent episode of Merriam-Webster’s podcast, “Word Matters.” Before “COVID-19,” the fastest a word that entered the dictionary was two years with the term “AIDS,” which

was added in 1984, two years after its coinage. “The level of use that (Covid-19) was seeing and the heightened recognition that the term has really outweighs the amount of needing to see it in use for an extended period of time,” she says. “So in a case like this, the word was instantly everywhere. . . . Even at 34 days old, we knew this word is not going anywhere. You could cure the disease the next day, and it would still be appearing in books and articles.” Brewster says lexicographers pay attention to how language changes, and how culture and social media influence the addition of new words. For example, @, the symbol for “at,” moved online with email addresses and then was attached to social media usernames, but now has evolved to mean “to respond to, challenge, or disparage the claim or opinion of (someone)” as in the phrase “don’t @ me.” “There is so much discourse happening online now in social media,” Brewster says. “And in some ways, I think it’s actually impossible to really draw a line and say that a word becomes established because it’s appearing in social media or a word goes from social media into broader use. It’s clear that the two are feeding each other.”

She noted the increase in written communication that hasn’t been vetted by editors and other gatekeepers: “Now you can read whatever (people) tweet, whatever they want to put on their blog. There’s so much informal communication available to be encountered.” Although the coronavirus pandemic has played a huge role in our collective experience as a society, this new update from Merriam-Webster also included words relating to identity, gender and sexuality. “The English language is still continuing development of terms that have to do with identity,” she says. “So ‘BIPOC’ (meaning Black, indigenous and people of color) was entered for this update and also ‘folx.’ I think (folx) is so interesting, especially because it absolutely requires that the word be seen. It really points very directly at how prominent written language is right now, because you cannot hear the difference when somebody says the word ‘folks’ with a ks or with an x.” About “sapiosexual,” which refers to romantic attraction to highly intelligent people, Brewster says, “We’ve been monitoring words to do with gender and sexuality for a long time now, and this is in a long lineage of terms that have been added.” As for entries that weren’t added in this latest update, word nerds should check out MerriamWebster’s “Words We’re Watching,” a series of articles on words lexicographers are seeing more but that haven’t yet met their criteria for inclusion.

WASHINGTON — Only days into President Joe Biden’s White House tenure, leaders in Mexico and the U.S. are looking to reset a relationship that’s not only fundamental to America’s foreign policy, but also critical to Texas’ economy, security and culture. The reboot is not just about moving beyond former President Donald Trump, the Republican who delighted in bullying Mexico over everything from immigration to trade to border security. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador – who enjoyed a good working relationship with Trump, despite many policy differences – has also complicated relations in recent months by showing an unmistakable frostiness toward Biden. The Mexican president stood out as one of the last foreign leaders in the world to congratulate the Democrat on his victory. “That was just foolish,” said Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, calling the snub “unfortunate.” AMLO, as he’s known, has further mystified and frustrated some officials with more substantive action. He’s raised hackles in the U.S. of late, for instance, by signing a law to restrict American drug agents in Mexico and lashing out against U.S. officials who accused the former Mexican defense secretary of working with a Mexican drug cartel. While some posit that Lopez Obrador, elected in 2018, is simply trying to ward off the new U.S. administration from meddling in Mexico’s messy internal affairs, political and business leaders on both sides of the border are now seeking to smooth over a rocky transition. The nature of the relationship demands it. Barcena, Martha the outgoing Mexican ambassador to the U.S., described the two countries as “an old married couple that has to find a way of always learning to get along.” Barcena, who will leave her post next month, added that “divorce is not an option.” “There will be ups and downs, but we will have to get along,” said the ambassador, who will be replaced by Esteban Moctezuma, a former senator who was Mexico’s education secretary. “But at the end of the day, we must get along, find common interest, take

the high ground.” The state’s location puts it on the forefront of an ongoing Central American migration crisis and at the center of perennial debates over border security. An estimated two-thirds of all binational trade also comes through Texas – nearly $400 billion in 2019 alone – supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs in sectors ranging from manufacturing to trade to energy. Communities along the Texas-Mexico border are stitched together economically and culturally, meaning that issues like the Covid-19 pandemic transcend any line on a map. “Real, substantive and constructive reengagement between the U.S. and Mexico is critical to Texas,” said Tony Garza, a former U.S. ambassador to Mexico under former President George W. Bush and now a counsel to White & Case in Mexico City. The Trump era, defined by the president ’s mercur ia l approach, tested those binational ties. The businessman launched his campaign in 2015 with a speech that disparaged many Mexican migrants as rapists and criminals. He made a border wall his signature campaign pledge, boasting that Mexico would pay for it. He vowed to terminate the North American Free Trade Agreement, a linchpin between the U.S., Mexico and Canada that he dubbed as the “worst trade deal ever.” Once in office, Trump threatened to shut down the border and raise tariffs on Mexican goods – actions that would have devastated both countries and the Lone Star State, in particular. But Trump didn’t question Mexico’s endemic corruption, drug violence or the killing of Mexican journalists. He didn’t abandon NAFTA, instead negotiating a revamp that mostly preserved and updated the trade pact. While Trump succeeded in getting Mexico to use its troops to block migrant caravans, he never managed to make Mexico pay for his border wall. AMLO, while often ceding to Trump’s demands on issues like immigration, never really engaged his American counterpart’s bluster. “He didn’t take the bait,” said Rep. Michael See Divorce, Page A7

Divorce From Page A6 McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee who said he was among those who advised Mexican officials to not overly fixate on Trump’s hardedged rhetoric. The two presidents, though from opposite ends of the political spectrum, also shared some commonalities. Both pr o mo t e d unabashed nationalism, building passionate bases with their own versions of populism. Both blasted the media as “fake news” as they wielded their own bully pulpits. Both belittled Covid-19 guidelines, only to then contract the virus themselves. The relat ionship still confounded many observers. “I could never understand it,” said Rep. Henry Cuellar, a conservative Democrat who’s worked with Mexican officials in AMLO’s administration and those before. “I told his people, ‘I just don’t understand this after he called y’all all these names.’” Cuellar recalled how AMLO refused to meet House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats when he visited D.C. in July to celebrate implementation of the new North American trade deal, instead hanging out at the White House with Trump and other Republicans. The Democrat – bullish, even then, about the White House race – said he warned Mexican officials that there would soon be a new Oval Office occupant. “Now they’re working to repair that relationship,” Cuellar said. “Now they’re working overtime.” Rep. Escobar said she has “absolutely no doubt that President Biden is going to extend the hand of friendship and collaboration” toward Mexico. Biden, even with Lopez Obrador’s pokes, never was likely to taunt Mexico or tap out insults on Twitter. “I have absolutely no doubt that President Biden is going to extend the hand of friendship and collaboration,” said Escobar, adding her hope that Lopez Obrador “will reciprocate.” The U.S. president is an experienced foreign policy hand who once served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Biden is no stranger to Mexico, either, having led the U.S. delegation in 2012 to the inauguration of then-Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. Biden has stoked optimism by reportedly tapping Roberta Jacobson, a former U.S. ambassador to Mexico and a longtime seasoned Latin American

expert, to oversee issues related to the southern U.S. border on the National Security Council. AMLO was also among the first world leaders that Biden called from the White House. “I feel confident we will be in good hands,” said Alfredo Duarte, president of Taxco Produce, a leading importer of Mexican produce in North Texas. “We’ll have people who actually know what they’re doing and what’s really at stake between both countries. No more crazy talk.” McCaul, from Texas, said the outgoing Mexican ambassador to the U.S. recently expressed her worry to him that President Joe Biden would try to re-litigate parts of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the North American trade pact. But a more engaged, if less bombastic, U.S. president also brings a different dynamic. Biden, amid GOP criticism, is already using executive action to unravel some of Trump’s immigration policies, including the so-called “remain in Mexico” program, as officials in the U.S. and Mexico brace for another potential surge in migration from Central America. While those moves are likely to be well received by AMLO, it’s unclear how Biden might lean on Mexico – and how AMLO, now with leverage, might respond – if there’s another crisis. Biden may also prove to be more aggressive than Trump would have been in enforcing environmental and labor provisions that were included in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the rebooted trade deal, at the insistence of congressional Democrats. McCaul recently had dinner with Barcena, the outgoing Mexican ambassador to the U.S. She expressed her worry that Biden would try to re-litigate parts of the accord, McCaul said, telling the congressman to “please make sure the USMCA stays intact.” “That was really her strongest message,” said McCaul, a free trade advocate who joined every Texan in Congress in voting in favor of the pact. AMLO also remains something of a wild card, particularly if he keeps sending brush-back pitches Biden’s way. McCaul worried that AMLO will “lean a little more on the socialist side,” bolstering state-owned energy companies at the expense of U.S. companies’ investments. Cuellar, in response to Mexico’s drug enforcement moves, said he’s reminded Mexican officials that the “U.S. is not the enemy.”

Navalny ally urges Biden to sanction more Putin associates Tribune Content Agency MOSCOW — A close ally of jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny urged President Joe Biden to take punitive action against a wider group of associates of President Vladimir Putin, saying current sanctions aren’t sufficient to stop the Kremlin from cracking down on political opponents and violating human rights. “Existing sanctions don’t reach enough of the right people,” Vladimir Ashurkov wrote in a letter to Biden posted on his Facebook page on Saturday. He lists 35 people, including billionaires Roman Abramovich and Alisher Usmanov, senior staffers of Putin’s administration, and heads of several state companies, that Navalny says should be targeted. “Anything less will fail to make the regime change its behavior,” Ashurkov wrote. “The

Protesters hold a banner reading “FREE NAVALNY” as some 2,500 supporters of Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny march in protest to demand his release from prison in Moscow in Berlin, Jan. 23. Berlin is home to a large expatriate Russian community. West must sanction the decision makers who have made it national policy to rig elections, steal from the budget, and poison.” Navalny and his allies also want the U.S. to sanction those who hold their money. The list includes two billionaires, VTB Bank Chief Executive Officer Andrey Kostin, Health Minister Mikhail Murashko, and prominent

adult children of Putin allies. Some of those have already been sanctioned by the U.S. Kremlin spokesman Dmitr y Peskov, who is also listed, didn’t respond to a request for a comment. A spokesman for Usmanov declined to comment. Usmanov got into a video spat with Navalny from his 156-meter yacht in 2017 over an investigation

into donations to a fund benefiting then-Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. The billionaire later won a defamation suit against Navalny. Navalny was arrested on Jan. 17 upon his return from Germany, where he’d been recovering from a nerve-agent attack in August that he and Western governments blame on the Kremlin. It denies any involvement. A Russian court put him in custody for 30 days. He faces as much as 3 1⁄2 years in prison at a hearing set for Feb. 2 on charges he breached the terms of a suspended sentence. He may also face separate charges of embezzlement punishable by as many as 10 years in prison. Biden pressed Putin on the poisoning of Navalny in his first phone call with the Russian president on Jan. 26 after taking office. The Kremlin said Putin answered all Biden’s questions in their conversation.

Taliban claim car bomb that kills 14 Tribune Content Agency K ABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban claimed responsibility for a powerful car bombing at a military base in Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province that killed at least 14 soldiers on Saturday. The bombing in Shirzad

district of the province wounded four other soldiers, according to a local councilor Ajmal Omar. A spokesman for the Taliban, Zabiullah Mujahid, said that in total 50 soldiers were among the dead and wounded. Both the Taliban and Islamic State militants are active in the province and

occasionally stage largeor small-scale attacks on security forces. In central Wardak province, a clash between the police and militia of a local commander in central Wardak province killed seven militia members, the Afghan Interior Ministry said on Friday night.

The skirmish left another nine militia members and some policemen wounded. The police arrested 68 militia members who were disrupting police activities in the Behsood district of the province, the ministry said.

“Over the long term, creating equitable economic growth will require investments in future opportunities for communities that have been consistently left behind,” the Public Policy Institute of California document declares. However, it leaves many questions unanswered, particularly how much its prescription would cost – obviously many billions of dollars – and how it should be financed. Moreover, it offers no evidence that the prescription would work and is silent on the most salient, historically proven factor in lifting people out of poverty – a vibrant economy that offers an abundance of well-paying jobs. Unfortunately, the pandemic has also revealed California’s economic vulnerability. Its economy – and its public sector – are inordinately dependent on the high-tech industry centered in the San Francisco Bay Area and we’re seeing an erosion of that bedrock sector. As a recent CNBC documentary points out, California’s high operational costs, including taxes, energy and housing, are driving core businesses such as Oracle and Hewlett-Packard out of the state, often to arch-rival Texas. What the Public Policy Institute of

California paper proposes essentially mirrors what left-leaning advocacy groups want Gov. Gavin Newsom to do and steps he has endorsed in concept, such as universal child care services and single-payer health care. However, Newsom has also poured cold water on proposals for heavy new taxes on the affluent, who already provide the largest share of state revenues through a very progressive i ncome tax. That puts Newsom in an awkward position of advocating massive new spending but openly concerned that raising taxes to finance that spending could accelerate the exodus of taxpayers from California to other, more hospitable states, taking their payrolls with them. Our compassion for the plight of the poor should not cloud the importance of lowering barriers to job creation that would make their climbs to lasting economic security truly feasible.

consequences by 2030. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change deadline to reduce current greenhouse gas emissions by half the current rate is nine years away. If we wait for 10 years to change our greenhouse gas pollution rate, it will already be too late. If we wait 14 years, we will undo everything we have done so far to clean the air we breathe and protect the environment we rely upon. As a lifetime Bay Area resident, I believe that Newsom has a responsibility to take actions that will mitigate the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions, which cause the wildfires and rising sea levels that affect the lives of Californians every year. The fires that displaced Fairfield residents last year will only worsen if we continue greenhouse gas emissions at the rate we do now. It’s time to broaden the noticeable impacts of clean energy by moving to

100% renewable energy sources before it is too late. California has always been a leader in greenhouse gas emissions policy beginning more than 60 years ago with the California provisions for the Clean Air Act, and we need to be a leader for the country now. Clean energy sources already power millions of homes and businesses, reducing our reliance on the fossil fuel energy sources that pollute our air and oceans. Fairfield in particular has made great strides to use cleaner energy, and we need to put pressure on our government for our efforts to make the most impact. Newsom needs to commit to 100% clean and renewable energy for the entire state by 2030, or we will all suffer the consequences of climate change that we have the power to stop now.

Careful what you wish for In Friday’s Daily Republic is a column written by Bud Stevenson who writes, “So with Biden in the White House (gotta be careful, PC and all) and San Francisco (that’s Saint Francis) under control of ultra-left officials, you can see where we’re headed . . .” So, mentioned are school names to be changed due to “possible not proven” racist lives they lived, Washington? Lincoln especially (Emancipation Proclamation). But with regard to Catholic priests who committed horrible crimes to the Native peoples (true), their names are being removed from places of honor (schools). That brings us to this question: In the vein of political correctness, San Francisco (named after a Catholic priest) should also be renamed, and as a politically correct cancel culture, demands it be done posthaste! I say to Bud, wishes do come true. Rob Thomas Suisun City

Don’t let Trump off the hook I am writing all 100 U.S. senators. You should, too. Here’s my letter. The Honorable Senator ___: In the upcoming Senate impeachment trial of ex-President Donald Trump, you have a constitutional duty to represent all Americans, not just those of your state and political party. I strongly urge you to vote to convict him under the impeachment article passed by the House of Representatives. His incitement of violence against the U.S. government, based on the events leading up to the horrific Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol, was shameful and a perfect example of “high crimes and misdemeanors” that are impeachable offenses under the U.S. Constitution. His actions to encourage assault on another branch of government, and to overturn the results of a lawful election, were a threat to the very heart of our democracy. He must be punished for his failure to uphold his oath of office by the full weight and consequences of conviction, including preventing him from ever holding public office in the future. Conviction is vital to maintaining credibility in our system of government to show that all leaders, especially those

If ex-President Trump is not convicted, senators voting for acquittal will be long remembered for condoning his unacceptable behavior and further weakening our country.

Solano County’s top health official admitted that the test used to detect a positive novel coronavirus result does raise issues on how those numbers are reported. Here are some readers’ comments on the revelation: n It’s actually refreshing to hear an expert admit, “I just don’t know,” in this whole business. It adds to credibility when he does know. “Risk of transmission” is a good standard. n This has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. My wife and I have been members of Kaiser Permanente for 70 years (1950). I cannot, like most others, get a Covid-19 vaccination or even an appointment to get one and yet my sister-in-law, who also is a member of Kaiser, called a Safeway pharmacy up in Placerville and got an appointment – and she lives in another county! n We’ve been flying by the seat of our pants from the beginning, but we’ve learned a lot along the way.

However, districts must subsequently offer in-person instruction and meet all other requirements the month immediately after the case-rate level drops below 25 per 100,000. The district as of Tuesday was unable to meet two of the requirements: reach binding agreements with employee groups, and meet local health conditions of fewer than 25 positive cases per 100,000 residents. A ng ie Av o n l i tis, director of student and accountability support, reported that regardless of whether the district opens or applies for the governor’s plan, districts must develop a Covid Safety Plan.

The staff put together the required information for the governor’s plan to return to in-person instruction, including the steps taken so far to meet the requirements and CalOSHA site-specific plans. The school board is not required to approve this plan but the staff brought it to the trustees for adoption Thursday night. The board approved the plan with the understanding that if changes are made, the plan would have to be revisited and approved again. Staff members at the district planned to submit the required information to the state by Monday, even though Solano County currently does not meet the levelof-infection requirements needed to return to inperson learning. The suspension of the governor’s stay-athome orders Monday also allows for the possibility of in-person athletic competitions within a league.

Avonlitis noted that the district is part of the Monticello Empire League with the Vacaville and Travis school districts. The MEL is part of the Sac-Joaquin Section. Outdoor sports that could be allowed would include cross country, golf, swimming and diving, and tennis, along with track and field. The possibility of a return to some athletics comes with stipulations. Schools must still follow all guidelines from their local county and the governing board of their school district or private/parochial school. In addition, physical conditioning, practice, skill-building and training that can be conducted outdoors, with 6 feet of physical distancing, and within stable team cohorts are currently authorized for all sports regardless of county tier status. Once a return to competition is allowed, every participating school’s county must also be in the authorized tier status for the respective sport in order to compete. The board approved going forward with in-person athletic competition

as reflected by whichever color tier Solano County is in at the time of competition as reflected by the Covid Safety Plan. The district’s schools will continue to remain in distance learning due to the county’s current color tier status, which is purple. Trustees at their next meeting will discuss the issue further and make a decision on what action should be taken going forward. California’s colorcoded monitoring system designates the purple tier for counties where transmission of the novel coronavirus is considered to be widespread. Shutdown orders for counties in the purple tier are the most severe. The red tier is for counties with substantial spread of the virus. The orange tier designates moderate virus transmission, while the yellow tier is reserved for counties where the spread of the virus is deemed to be minimal. Restrictions to slow the spread of the virus are eased as counties move from purple to red, red to orange and orange to yellow.

Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — Dodger Stadium’s mass Covid-19 vaccination site was shut down Saturday afternoon as about 50 protesters gathered at the entrance, stalling hundreds of motorists who had been waiting in line for hours. The Los Angeles Fire Department closed the entrance to the stadium – one of the largest vaccination sites in the country – for about an hour starting just before 2 p.m. as a precaution, officials said. T he demonst rators included members of anti-vaccine and farright groups. While some carried signs decrying the Covid-19 vaccine and shouting for people not to get the shots, there were no incidents of violence. “This is completely wrong,” said German Jaquez, who drove from his home in La Verne and had been waiting an hour for his vaccination when the stadium’s gates were closed. He said some of the protesters were telling people in line that the coronavirus is not real and that the vaccination is dangerous. “This is the wrong message,” Jaquez said. “I’ve been waiting for weeks to get an appointment. I am a dentist; I am taking a big risk being around patients. I want to be safe for my patients and for my family. The vaccine is the only way to beat the virus.” A fire department official said the vaccination site reopened a few minutes before 3 p.m. The site is usually open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A post on social media described the demonstration as the “Scamdemic Protest/March.” It advised participants to “please refrain from wearing Trump/MAGA attire as

we want our statement to resonate with the sheeple. No flags but informational signs only. “This is a sharing information protest and march against everything Covid, Vaccine, PCR Tests, Lockdowns, Masks, Fauci, Gates, Newsom, China, digital tracking, etc.” A livestreamed video of the gathering shows a group of protesters on a sidewalk as cars navigate cone-lined lanes toward the stadium, which served as a Covid-19 testing site for months. Protesters carried signs that read “Save Your Soul TURN BACK NOW,” “CNN IS LYING TO YOU,” “RECALL GAVIN NEWSOM” and “TAKE OFF YOUR MASK.” Some handed out pamphlets to motorists who had their windows down. Some cars blared their horns as they drove by. Protesters spoke through bullhorns: “Turn back while you can,” one man said. “You’re a lab rat.” Public officials swiftly weighed in, expressing frustration. Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Jeff Gorell, who oversees public safety for Mayor Eric Garcetti, tweeted a Los Angeles Times article about the closure, writing, “Its back open, but ...” and adding a “face palm” emoji.

Officers eventually entered the apartment and found the man hiding inside. He was taken into custody shortly after 8:30 a.m. after what Cardona describes as a brief struggle, during which an officer shot the man with a Taser. Cardona reports that the two women were found dead inside the apartment. The cause of their deaths remains under investigation. Their names, ages and cities of residence were withheld pending family notification, Cardona reports.

Cathy Keller Castenada is pictured with her son David. Both died from Covid-19. She was 64, he was 39. Kaye has two daughters, 15 and 13. “It’s been so hard for them,” she wrote, noting her daughters are used to going to their grandparents’ house and seeing their grandmother at home. Cathy Keller Castaneda’s mother, Regina Keller, 84, has outlived her three children after losing her husband in 1988. Family members gathered for a vigil, lit candles and sent off balloons. “My mom and brother were very close,” she wrote. “I’m grateful my brother never knew my

mom passed and she never knew he did. I miss them both and not a day goes by that I don’t think about them.” Kaye said they haven’t figured out how everyone got sick. She continues to wear a mask when going to see her father. A total of 122 deaths have been linked thus far at least in part to the novel coronavirus and Covid-19, the county reports, while more than 27,700 Solano County residents have tested positive for the disease since the start of the pandemic. Most people who have

Covid-19 experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death. The vast majority of people recover. The World Health Organization reports people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.

Then, members of the community took advantage and began to add their own items. Council members did discuss putting a small trash wilson receptacle in the proposed cleanup area prior to a planned cleanup. Placing portable toilets in encampments was also addressed. It was noted that Fairfield has done so during the Covid-19 pandemic. One was stolen, removed with bolt cutters and driven off. Another was named the

“most shocking scene” viewed by the company that rented the portable toilet to the city. Legal questions were answered by Robert Khuu, who works with the city attorney, Anthony Taylor. The topic was not up for council vote. The goal of the workshop was to gather consensus among

council members, Wilson said. The council also took part in a community workshop on homeless issues in August. A handful of Suisun City residents voiced concern in February about the number of homeless people in Old Town during public comments at a City Council meeting. One homeowner spoke of a man camped on the porch of his circa 1905 home who took candles and put them on the ledges of his wooden porch.

The women’s deaths represent the city’s second and third reported homicides of the year. The first was a fatal police shooting Tuesday night that left one man dead after a police chase through the city during which, police report, the man rammed an officer’s vehicle with his pickup truck. That incident started at approximately 8:35 p.m. with a failed traffic stop in the area of City Hall after the driver was seen performing doughnuts in the parking lot behind City Hall, Lt. Mark Donaldson reports. A pursuit started and continued along Davis Street near the skate center, where an officer in

a police vehicle reported being rammed by the suspect’s pickup truck, injuring the officer who was driving the vehicle, Donaldson reports. The officer was treated and released from Kaiser Permanente Vacaville Medical Center and was recovering from injuries. The pursuit ended at Davis Street and Bella Vista Road, where officers were prepared for a pursuit intervention technique known as a PIT maneuver, Donaldson reports. Officers soon broadcast that shots had been fired. Details were not released about what happened immediately prior to the report of shots fired. Three officers fired

their weapons, Donaldson reports. The driver was hit and died at the scene in spite of efforts by police and paramedics to save him, Donaldson reports. The man’s name was withheld pending family notification. A spokeswoman for the Solano County Coroner’s Office said Wednesday that the man’s name will likely be withheld for some time. A countywide task force is investigating the police shooting. Police continue to investigate the incident Saturday. Anyone with information about what led to the incident or about the incident itself is asked to call Detective Erik Watts at 449-5228.

Predictions on charity, giving for 2021 Bruce DeBoskey

On Philanthropy

Tribune News Service

the nonprofit sector to increase its work on local, national and global initiatives and donors to respond according to their capacity and geographic focus. Although billions have already been committed by major foundations, much more will be needed. The significance of this existential threat to life as we know it will require philanthropy to join with business and government in an all-hands-ondeck effort to address the crisis.

020 is a year most of us are happy to leave behind. Amid the many disheartening challenges we endured, there were also some positive developments in the philanthropy field that will impact giving in 2021 and beyond. Here’s some of what I’ll be looking for in this New Year:

From charity to justice 2020’s racial justice movement that expanded awareness of racism and injustice across the U.S. and globally, combined with the economic disparity that burgeoned in the year of the pandemic, has caused many donors – large and small – to reexamine the focus of their giving. Expect to see more donors looking upstream to examine and fund solutions to the causes of the problems they wish to solve rather than just the symptoms. Many of those solutions require thoughtful consideration of the role that race and racism play in societal problems including hunger, homelessness, education and job opportunities, healthcare disparities, climate change impacts, gender equity and more. For example, in addition to providing food for people at food pantries, donors will be asking, “How can we prevent more people from becoming food insecure in the first place?”

Challenging ‘winners take all’ philanthropy In the past few years, many books have been written about what’s wrong with a system of philanthropy that bestows enormous power, privilege and tax breaks to wealthy people while allowing generational philanthropic capital to pass for decades with limited oversight

Sustainable investing with philanthropic capital will increase

The Black Lives Matter street mural in St. Petersburg, Fla. Local artists each painting one letter each or accountability. Among the best of those books is “Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World” by Anand Giridharadas (Knopf, 2018). In 2021, we can expect increased calls for action to more closely examine the “deal” of charitable tax deductions and charity; the limited or nonexistent payout requirements for the $1.2 trillion sitting in U.S. foundations and donor-advised funds; the charitable tax status of religious institutions, especially televangelists; the property tax exemption for all nonprofit organizations; the ease of establishing nonprofit status without clear definitions of what organizations deserve nonprofit status; the lack of adequate federal or state oversight of the nonprofit sector; the loss of federal, state and local tax revenues from charitable contributions and property tax exemptions; and more.

phrase. 2020’s racial justice movement has caused many donors to reexamine the focus of their giving.

Women’s philanthropic impact to grow Women now own more than half of the investable assets in the United States, controlling decision making for $11 trillion, and are expected to inherit 70 percent of the $41 trillion in intergenerational wealth transfer over the next 35 years. Not only are U.S. women philanthropists growing in numbers and influence, the way in which women engage as philanthropists appears to be shifting as well. In the last four months of 2020, MacKenzie Scott donated $4 billion to 384 organizations in all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. In a departure from most large donors, Ms. Scott’s gifts were all unrestricted and focused on nonprofits “operating in communities facing high projected food insecurity, high measures of racial inequity,

high local poverty rates and low access to philanthropic capital.” “During a pandemic when U.S. billionaire wealth has increased $1 trillion since March, other billionaires should draw inspiration from [Scott’s] approach to move funds to urgent needs, to historically marginalized groups, to share decision-making with nonwealthy people and to avoid warehousing funds in private legacy foundations” observes Chuck Collins, director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies.

Giving to combat climate change will rise This month, the U.S. is expected to rejoin the Paris Agreement and reassert its leadership in the global effort to combat climate change. The role of philanthropy will be critical to its success. Expect

Sustainable investing considers environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in portfolio selection and management. In the U.S., over $17 trillion in assets are invested with an ESG lens and the number is growing every year. Among philanthropists, more donors can be expected to ask, “What impact does our money have even before we make the decision to donate it?” For example, where is the money sitting in a donoradvised fund or family foundation being invested? They can then choose to invest their philanthropic capital for the double bottom-line of both financial return and social impact. In 2021, expect that more donors will fuel their philanthropic missions from the engines of their philanthropic assets, not just the fumes. 2021 promises to be a game-changing year on many fronts – including the philanthropic world!

Should you double mask? Start by picking the right one Tribune Content Agency AUSTIN, Texas — When Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, began talking about wearing two masks as being beneficial, it brought up a slew of questions. Dr. Brian Metzger, the medical director of infectious diseases at St. David’s Medical Center in Austin says, “It makes sense that wearing multiple masks would be more effective at blocking the virus. . . . the more barriers that you can have but still be able to breathe is good.” Masks help prevent particles that you expel from your nose or mouth from spreading to another person, and they help prevent particles from someone else from reaching your nose or mouth. When it comes to choosing a mask, Metzger says, “the best mask is the one you can wear and wear snuggly on your face.” One that fits well should not gap at the side and should not move up and down as you talk. With some masks, you can tighten the straps, or tie a knot in the straps to have it fit better against your face. In ones that have metal strips on the nose, those strips should be pinched down to fit tightly against your nose. Look for masks that have tightly woven fabric, with two or three layers, to create a barrier between droplets. You should not be able to see light through them. A simple bandana or a

Daniel Garcia, 5, his mother Magdalena Hernandez, 40, and brother Alonso Garcia, 9, from Commerce, wear protective masks against the coronavirus while walking along Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Nov. 9, 2020. Gator neck covering is not as effective as a cloth mask or a surgical-type mask. It also doesn’t do any good to have two masks if you are wearing them under your nose, under your chin, around your forehead, hanging from your ear or from your arm or not wearing them at all.

CDC recommendations on wearing a mask during the pandemic The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these tips: Choose masks that: Have two or more layers of washable, breathable fabric. Completely cover your nose and mouth. Fit snugly against the sides of your face and don’t have gaps. Have been washed in-between wearings or

have never been worn. If you wear glasses, find a mask that fits closely over your nose or one that has a nose wire to limit fogging. When it’s cold outside, wear your scarf or skimask type coverings over your mask. They are not substitutes for masks. For children: Find a mask that is made for children to help ensure proper fit. Check to be sure the mask fits snugly over the nose and mouth and under the chin and that there are no gaps around the sides. Do not put on children younger than 2 year. Do not choose: Masks that are made of fabric that makes it hard to breathe, for example, vinyl. Masks that have exhalation valves or vents that allow virus particles to escape. Face shields instead of masks.

It’s always possible to make a difference in students’ lives

think I have gotten into the habit of blaming others for my own problems. No matter how much my life has been restricted by senseless edicts, it is still my responsibility to motivate myself to create those things I can still do. I can think no matter what. At least until recently. No, it’s my own fault for dogging it. Here’s my action schedule: First of all, I will write two columns a week until I have a “pad” I can depend upon. I was asked several years ago to help Ebola orphans in Liberia to learn how to read. Liberia was America’s first colony made up of Freemen – former slaves. They became their own nation in 1847. I believed that God wanted me to help those kids, so I did it. In the process, I put together a solar-powered CD player system. It was not a big deal. It was made from commercially available products, but it worked. I recently looked at the system and discovered that it has greater potential as a means of providing survival and faith information to those found in the world who do not have access to electricity. This is about 2 billion people. It needs an upgrade to extend its reach from about 10 feet to 30 feet. This would expand its audience several hundred times. The technology is proba-

Murray Bass Plan to live bly already there. My vision has reached such a low point that I don’t believe I can effectively manage the program personally. I am contacting faith and charity leaders to see if this might be a student program, make them aware of its potential. I am inviting all of you – my readers – to become a part of changing the lives of millions of folks. I welcome your interest and your ideas and your work. Let me know. I am also interested in improving the lifetime opportunities of local and California students. I have been involved in public education for the past 30 years or so. I have seen many things that work to improve student success. I’ll relate a few here. First, it is possible to win rights to manage classrooms. I was a substitute teacher when Gary Falati’s school board successfully challenged the teachers union and won. Next, I was principal for a day for two years at the only school in the county that worked its way off the No Child Left Behind list – the only school which independently

installed the Frontline Phonics reading system in its kindergarten. The school demanded results and accepted nothing less. There are many other situations I might tell you about, but one stands out. Allen Tong is a math teacher at a small school district in Central California. He is inspirational and motivates his students to shoot for greatness and achieve it. Over a period of eight years, his Academic Decathlon class won the county championship eight years in a row; the state championship three years in a row; and, I think, the national championship three years in a row. He had students asking to be a part of his program. All of this happened in a state environment that, according to the Nation’s Report Card, performed in the bottom 10% of all states. What is clear is that if schools are to improve, it has to be from the bottom up. And it is possible. I believe that we have creative leadership at our local level that can make things happen, not settle for less than providing opportunities to every child to become the best they can be. You can play a part in creating a successful program. So can I. Murray Bass of Fairfield can be reached at 720-5139 or mzb602@gmail.com.

Suisun council mulls more public art Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — There’s a general consensus the City Council wants more public art. The five members also like the idea of developer fees paying for it or accepting in-lieu donations. The fees would also include a percentage set aside for maintenance of the art. Some council members were concerned the funds would not cover the life of the artwork and the city would have to pick up the tab. “I don’t think it’s enough money,” Councilwoman Alma Hernandez said. A total of 10% of the proposed 1% fee charged to larger commercial and industrial developers is slated to be set aside for art upkeep. “How do we maintain it after we exhaust the funds?’’ she asked.

A utility box embellished by Sydney Laws is seen in Suisun City’s Harbor Plaza, Sept. 26, 2018. Councilwoman Wanda Williams concurred. She suggested putting aside between 15% and

20% for maintenance. Art donated would be maintained by the donor, said Kris

he supports the idea but cautioned that art can be subjective. If murals were pursued, he suggested getting volunteers involved. Councilwoman Jane Day said she would consider higher fees for developers, depending on where the art would be located. “Art sparks the imagination,” Wilson said. The city engaged artists a few years ago to paint the utility boxes in the downtown area. The city also has metal sculptures in front of Lawler House as well as the terrace it shares with Harbor Theater. All proposed projects will need final approval from the council. No action has been taken as the council is still giving direction to city staff.

Lofthus, Recreation, Parks, Marina and Arts director. “If we don’t own them, then we wouldn’t be responsible for that piece.” Concerns were also raised about what happens when a vehicle hits the art pieces. It has happened a few times on the metal sculpture on Walters Road that was eventually removed. Mayor Lori Wilson encouraged the proposal to include art in the city parks. There was also a conversation about whether the city should have art on private property. Councilman Mike Hudson felt that was not needed. Resident Donna LeBlanc said she thought art should be spread throughout the city, not just in the downtown area. She suggested the library and Walmart, laughing in jest. Resident Steve Olry said

Papa Roach, Jeris Johnson team up for reloaded version of ‘Last Resort’ Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — Vacaville’s Papa Roach and Jeris Johnson have unveiled “Last Resort (Reloaded).” It celebrates the 20th anniversary of the certified triple platinum hit “Last Resort.” It was one of the most played videos on MTV in 2000. The track is said to give new life into an iconic track, “boasting an infectious bounce, potent guitars and punchy vocals in true Jeris and Jacoby (Shaddix) fashion.” The rework arrives with a visual that reimagines the original Papa Roach music video and encapsulates the whirlwind of a mosh pit. The visual also gives a bit of relief to those feeling overwhelmed, allowing viewers to sing at the top of their lungs and jump off the restlessness and anger they may be feeling. The lyrics tackle hard-hitting topics, as Johnson continues Shaddix’s verse from 2000 and adds his own thoughts, feelings and struggles as he navigates life. Johnson has garnered a devout cult following on TikTok for his genre-transforming reworks of popular songs. He picked up traction on the platform after the success of “damn!,” which reached No. 19 on the Shazam charts and was included on Spotify’s U.S. Viral Chart. He covered Papa Roach’s “Last Resort” and caught the eyes and ears of Papa Roach. It can be heard on Johnson’s YouTube channel.

Chris Hewitt Star Tribune

‘F

amiliar” is usually not a favorable adjective in a movie review, but in the case of “The Little Things,” it’s not a criticism. The thriller is familiar because it’s the latest in a long line of Denzel Washington-mentors-a-younger-cop movies, and because its serial killer tropes have popped up many times in the post-”Seven” era: police flashlights piercing a dark room filled with forensic evidence, ironic R&B music from

the ‘60s, neon-stained streets, a murder board packed with photos and clues. None of these things will dazzle moviegoers with their originality, but they succeed at establishing a tense mood. They also work because Washington, like Tom Hanks or Jessica Lange, is one of those actors whose connection to the audience is such that we’ll follow him pretty much anywhere. I wish he’d test that more often (a comedy, maybe?) but he’s adept at varying the specifics of the people he plays, all of whom have solid names

like his moniker in “Little Things”: Joe Deacon. He’s a decent guy (practically the first thing we see him do is scratch a mutt’s back) with a dark secret (there’s talk of how his obsession with a case got him exiled from Los Angeles) and a willingness to overlook his mentee’s arrogance (the first thing Rami Malek’s Sgt. Jim Baxter does is try to get Joe’s car towed) – if it’ll help solve their case. Washington makes Joe authoritative, intelligent and See Killer, Page B2

Killer From Page B1 vaguely haunted, all of which tracks – and positions him opposite the callow Baxter, who’s written to be like a dog with a bone and who becomes even less nuanced in Malek’s halfnote performance. They’re trying to solve the grisly murders of young women in L.A., which a colleague compares to the recently solved Night Stalker killings (as evidenced by all the boxy cars, “Little Things” is set in the ‘90s). There’s intriguing character stuff here: Deacon is skilled at his work but not his life, talks to corpses in an effort to understand the killer and has stopped believing in God because of all the terrible stuff he’s seen. Deacon’s atheism, though, is one of several strands in “Little Things” that are left to unravel. Writer/director John Lee Hancock’s script is studded with oblique references to religious extremism among Baxter’s colleagues, who used to be Deacon’s colleagues, but it’s unclear what the movie is trying to

say about that – or if it’s somehow related to the enigmatic ending, which is deliberately unsatisfying in the way the justice system also sometimes leaves us unfulfilled. Initially, I didn’t love that ending. But the more I sit with “The Little Things,” the more I appreciate the way Hancock leaves his conclusion messy, emphasizing the trauma left in the wake of violence and positioning the reveal of its debilitating effects as one final lesson from Washington to Malek.

Tyson rewrote Black heroism on screen, transcendently Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune

great actor’s screen breakthrough tells at least two stories. The triumphant one is about the skill and singularity that got that actor noticed, and led to the big break and the role that makes her artistic possibilities more possible. Cicely Tyson’s, for example. The other half of any breakthrough story is about the thing that needed breaking through. In many cases, again and most pertinently this week with the case of Tyson, who died Thursday at the age of 96, it’s the hidden story, the more sobering one. That one tells of obstacles endured, or worked around, while getting and then doing the job: prejudice, sexism, galling pay inequity. Tyson’s first breakthrough lasted a single season on network television, before she was written out of the lowrated George C. Scott CBS drama “East Side/ West Side,” about social workers in New York City. Tyson played a welfare office secretary. She didn’t get a lot of juicy dramatic opportunities. But right away you could see her stunning capabilities, even if they were held in check while Tyson delivered, honestly and truthfully, the expository needs of the script. The actor, a riveting presence in any screen circumstance, was the first Black series regular on television, two years before Bill Cosby breezed to superstardom in “I Spy,” five years before Diahann Carroll toplined NBC’s “Julia.” In retrospect, “East Side/West Side” never had a chance. Pretty tough fare for the time, it was up against “Sing Along With Mitch,” over on NBC. The Mitch Miller variety show was the whitest show in existence, diverting viewers’ attention away from the tough issues and progressive casting (propping up its white male protagonist) embodied by “East Side/West Side.” Tyson’s real breakthrough came nearly a decade later. Director Martin Ritt’s “Sounder” (1972) adapted the Newbery-winning book by William H. Armstrong, about a sharecropping family in 1930s Deep South America. She’d been working toward a role like this for years. “‘Sounder’ surprised us all,” Tyson said decades later. “I remember Marty Ritt calling me and saying, ‘Cis, this is supposed to be a chil-

But if they’re not careful” – “they” being the studio heads – “they’re going to make a damn good film.” That it was. It was also a commercial success, thereby proving the lesson Hollywood cyclically ignores to this day: That there was, and is, not just room at a whitedominated table but room for more than one table. There was room for a broader, more unpredictable array of images of Black life than audiences were seeing in “Shaft” and “Superfly” and Pam Grier in “Coffy.” I saw “Sounder” when I was 11. For a white kid sitting in a blindingly white audience in a theater in Racine, Wisconsin, this was something new after the usual Disney “Boatniks” and “Million Dollar Duck” time-fillers of the era. The reunion scene in

“Sounder,” when Tyson’s Rebecca Morgan sees her injured, long-imprisoned husband Nathan (Paul Winfield) coming up the road, cut straight to the heart of what screen acting is all about. No strings on the soundtrack, no heavy emotional cues. Just life, captured, by an actor, transcendent. Pure, unvarnished joy and anguish and longing and relief – a mixed chord of brilliance. You believe this performance, and more importantly you believe it in the period of the story. So many Black-driven films (well, there haven’t been so many, really) set in America’s past get by with contemporary attitudes and behavior and perspectives, shoehorned into a frame of nostalgia. “Sounder” may be a little soft around the edges, and G-rated, but it’s better than that. And Tyson’s work remains a towering accomplishment. Two years later I saw “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman” on TV, for which Tyson won two Emmy Awards as the former slave who lives long enough to make her way in the final scene to the whites-only drinking fountain and taste the fruits of her courage. I remember being dazzled by the performance, how fully invested she was, and how easy she made it for those watching that night to be invested, too. Tyson made the many stages of a life feel like, well, real life; she made the material shine like gold. So much more came

later, ranging from “Roots,” an even bigger Black TV phenomenon of the 1970s, to the 21st century and the Broadway stage (“The Trip to Bountiful,” which got her a Tony Award, and “The Gin Game” with James Earl Jones). To millions, Tyson was best known as Ophelia, the great Viola Davis’s formidable mother on “How to Get Away With Murder.” A different Ophelia, Shakespeare’s, spoke in “Hamlet” of “the steep and thorny way to Heaven.” Tyson’s path, strewn with obstacles to long-deferred breakthroughs, was something like that, too. But she seized every day, every acting possibility, and late in life, she shone in the light of career achievement awards and richly deserved adulation. In 2016, President Barack Obama presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Two days before she died Thursday, Tyson’s memoir “Just As I Am” came out. In it the woman born in Harlem in 1924, to West Indies immigrant parents, writes of becoming an actor at the risk of losing her mother’s love and approval forever. She had no choice, she writes. “I wanted to feel as if I embodied our humanity so fully that it made us laugh and weep, that it reminded us of our shared frailties. I want to be recalled as one who squared my shoulders in the service of Black women, as one who made us walk taller and envision greater for ourselves.”

Rams trade Goff to Lions for Stafford in swap of QBs Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — Five years after making Jared Goff the No. 1 pick in the draft, the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday traded the quarterback to the Detroit Lions for quarterback Matthew Stafford, a person with knowledge of the situation said. As part of the deal the Rams also sent the Lions a third-round pick this year and two future first-round picks, said the person who requested anonymity because they are not authorized

to speak publicly about the deal. Stafford, who turns 33 on Feb. 7, was the first pick in the 2009 draft. He was voted to the Pro Bowl once in 12 seasons and is 0-3 in three playoff games. Other than receiver Calvin Johnson, however, Stafford, has never played with a surplus of talent. Stafford has passed for 45,109 yards and 282 touchdowns, with 144 interceptions. This season, he passed for 4,084 yards and 26 touchdowns,

with 10 interceptions. Stafford has two years remaining on his contract and had salary-cap numbers of $33 million in 2021 and $26 million in 2022, according to overthecap.com. Stafford and Lions ownership reportedly agreed to pursue trading him.

MEL gets to work as SJS votes to have leagues set own schedules PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The 2020-21 high school sports calendar in California has seemingly mutated as many times as the coronavirus. Of course, it’s the Covid-19 pandemic that’s forced state and local officials to push back potential start dates for sports in what remains of the 2020-21 school year. The most recent cha nges happened Tuesday when the SacJoaquin Section Board of Managers voted to have

each of its 26 leagues develop its own season of sport calendars. The move brought out cautious optimism among local athletic directors and coaches. “I am just excited that our student athletes are going to get the opportunity to have a season,” said Tracy Cordes, Rodriguez High athletic director and softball coach. “All of the ADs are currently making schedules and gearing up for a very busy five months. Currently we have discussed start

In response to the Section’s move, officials from the Monticello Empire League met virtually Thursday to get the process started with another meeting scheduled for Monday. “We tried to create a calendar that equally divided the time, that ensured spring sport athletes would be prioritized, and that afforded the most opportunities for multi-sport athletes to compete without restrictions,” Wilson said.

Why coming home was vital for San Jose Sharks’ mental health Tribune Content Agency The Sharks’ team plane landed back in San Jose on Saturday morning, likely flying over SAP Center on their descent before touching down at Mineta International Airport. After five weeks away, or more for some individuals, it was no doubt a welcome sight for everyone aboard the aircraft. Finally, they were back home. “It’s exciting,” Sharks captain Logan Couture said through a team spokesman. “I think for everyone with family in San Jose today will be a great day. (Thirty) days away isn’t easy, so very excited to get back home and reset.” The NHL announced Friday that San Jose’s two-game series with Vegas in Glendale, Ariz. next week was being postponed because of Covid protocol concerns with some members of the Golden Knights organization. Those games have yet to be rescheduled. With their next game not until Feb. 5 in Anaheim, the Sharks have an unexpected opportunity

to come back to their own practice facility for a few days, work on the details of their game and hit the refresh button after a 3-5-0 start. Just as important will be the mental lift the Sharks desperately need. After his team’s 3-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday, coach Bob Boughner said the Sharks looked every bit like a group that had been away from home for five weeks. The Sharks, including a handful of new fathers, had to leave loved ones behind last month as Santa Clara County’s ban on contact sports meant the team had to relocate training camp. They stayed in Scottsdale, Arizona for two weeks before they started a stretch of eight games in 15 days, capped by their shutout loss to the Avs. “After being on the road for 35, some of the guys 40 days, I think it’s a good break for us physically, but more importantly mentally,” Boughner said before the Sharks left Arizona for San Jose. “I think everybody needs to get home and reset.” There’s little question that forced isolation from loved ones can

be stressful. Kim Foster Yardley, a clinical psychologist based in Toronto who works with high-performance athletes, said that type of mental stress can impact performance. “It can lead to being too much in ones own head or a loss of perspective/tunnel vision,” Yardley wrote in an email to this news organization. “Most of us have default ways that we deal with stress – some people withdraw, others become frustrated and irritable even others could channel this into overwork. “Athletes are no different. And just like our reactions to stress could impact our mental health, it can also impact our productivity, focus and motivation. In the same way stress can impact athlete performance.” Sharks players, coaches and staff members did their best to cope while they were away from their families, like holding Zoom or FaceTime calls, perhaps multiple times a day. That also meant looking out for each other’s well-being. “When you walk by somebody in See Sharks, Page B4

T he dire pro nouncements about the 6-12 record the Miami Heat carried into the night largely overlooked one significant factor: Jimmy Butler had played in only 5½ of those games. B ack S at u r d ay night after 10 games in the NBA’s pandemic protocols, Butler loudly announced his return with a season-high 30 points in a 105-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings at AmericanAirlines Arena. “You simply cannot put a modern-day analytic to Jimmy’s will to win,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Having also missed 2½ games due to an ankle sprain, Butler offered a reminder of the Heat’s possibilities with him back in the lineup, even as the Heat played in the continued injury absences of Goran Dragic, Avery Bradley and Moe Harkless, among others.

“That’s just iron will,” Spoelstra said. After Butler carried the Heat with 20 firsthalf points, when the Heat never led by more than one, his teammates then stepped up to help snap a five-game losing streak. “It’s a start,” Spoelstra said. “We just have to continue to forge ahead.” It wasn’t necessarily pretty, with the Heat going up 11 early in the fourth quarter, only to see the Kings in possession down one with 4.6 seconds to play. On that play, Butler and the Heat forced a Kings scramble and a missed 17-foot shot by Richaun Holmes, as the buzzer sounded. Bam Adebayo added 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Heat, with Tyler Herro scoring 15, Duncan Robinson 14 and Kelly Olynyk 11. Butler added eight assists and seven rebounds.

He’s just excited about finally getting consistent minutes. “I’m just ready to play 15 games in 25 days,” Poole said before the Warriors played the Pistons at home Saturday, the day before he heads to Orlando to begin his mandatory quarantine. “So that’s all I needed to hear. A lot of games? I’m straight.” Poole, the Warriors’ 2019 first-round pick, joins rookie Nico Mannion as part of Golden State’s G League team that’s set to participate in a 15-game season at the Walt Disney complex from Feb. 10-March 6. It will be the first time Poole has played regular rotation minutes since 2019. Once in Orlando, the Santa Cruz Warriors and 17 other teams will operate within a bubble format and adhere

Phillies sign Gregorius to two-year contract Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — There were no chants outside Citizens Bank Park last summer urging the Phillies to retain Didi Gregorius or a flurry of social-media posts mandating the team to #SignDidi. Instead, the shortstop’s free-agency seemed to take a backseat to the attention focused on J.T. Realmuto. So perhaps it was fitting that a day after the Phillies officially squared

away Realmuto, they signed Gregorius to a two-year contract worth $28 million. Gregorius scored the contract he wanted – a multi-year deal after playing last season on a one-year pact – and did it without much of a campaign behind him. A source said the deal is pending a physical. Gregorius played all 60 games last season, hitting .284 with a .827 OPS. He turns 31 on See Gregorius, Page B12

the morning and you say, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ or ‘How’s it going?’ you’ve got to really mean it,” Sharks forward Patrick Marleau said recently. “A lot of onus is on each individual to make sure they get what they need, but sometimes that’s hard for some people.” “It’s good to be with the guys whenever you miss your families and kids,” Sharks winger Kevin Labanc said after Thursday’s loss. “It’s hard, and people don’t really see that . . . but we can’t create an excuses for ourselves. We got to get the job done.” Similar, but not identical, to what the Sharks went through the last month was the situation players were in last summer during the NHL’s Return to Play. To guard against the potential spread of Covid-19, the league

set up playoff bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton, as players, coaches and other team staff members were cut off from family members, and most of the outside world. Some stays were short, like in the case of Marleau, Ryan Donato and Devan Dubnyk, whose teams were eliminated in the play-in round. Others, though, lasted over a month. Matt Nieto’s stay in Edmonton went from late July to early September as the Avalanche advanced to the Western Conference final before losing in seven games to the Dallas Stars. “The teams that had the most success are the teams that wanted to be there and made the best of it,” Nieto said during training camp. “You can’t be in a negative mindset because you can’t do any activities or stuff like that. You have to keep it fun.”

One d i f ference between the Sharks and the teams in the bubbles was that the players in Toronto and Edmonton knew there would come a point when they would be able to go home. Up until earlier this week, when the state of California’s stay-at-home orders were lifted and the county said collegiate and professional sports could operate if they followed certain directives, the Sharks had no clear idea when they could return. “It is pretty important to develop healthy coping mechanisms for stress,” Yardley wrote. “One advantage that athletes have is that they are dealing with high stress all the time as they put themselves in competitive situations on a regular basis. “They perhaps already have coping strategies in place for stressful performance situations that they could apply to life

stress like the pandemic.” As for now, when the Sharks start to practice again, they’ll likely spending ample time on a power play that has converted on just one of their last 22 opportunities. They’ve also managed just nine even strength goals in their last five games and have a team save percentage of .879, 29th out of 31 teams. At least they’ll have started to work on all of these issues after sleeping in their own beds. “We’ve been living out of a suitcase for a month and a half,” Boughner said. “Players get a couple days off of not even having to come to the rink. Once we get back to work, we’re going to have a good chance to work on our game and improve in the areas we need to improve on and just sort of recharge the batteries. “People are going to be able to see the families, which is nice.”

Poole: No. 28 pick in 2019 NBA Draft From Page B3 in the NBA’s bubble, he hasn’t called any of them to ask for tips on how to get through the experience, which several players had described as mentally and emotionally difficult. He has someone lined up to take care of his cat while he’s gone, but that’s about it. Instead, Poole is focused on making the most of this opportunity. Having yet to crack Golden State’s regular rotation, this will be the first time Poole – who the Warriors selected with the No. 28 pick in 2019 – plays extended minutes since his G League stint last season. Heading into Saturday’s game, Poole

By playing in the G League, Poole will have a chance to run a professional offense. has appeared in 14 of 19 possible games and has averaged 8.8 minutes per game. Though his shooting percentages – 41.5 percent overall, including 30.3 percent from 3-point range – are up from an underwhelming rookie season, he is behind other guards Damion Lee, Kent Bazemore and Mychal Mulder on the depth chart. By playing in the G League, Poole will have

a chance to run a professional offense, get up shots and develop with game reps. This is a familiar process for Poole, who turned around his 2019-20 season after a stint in the G League. Before playing for Santa Cruz, Poole was statistically one of the worst players in the NBA, averaging 7.1 points on 25.4 percent shooting, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. After he returned to Golden State, his statistics improved across the board. “It was good to play. Got the ball in my hands a little bit and was able to make some plays,” Poole said. “Went out there and got a little bit of game experience, and it just happened to translate.” This could be an

important process for Poole, whose third-year option for next season was picked up by the Warriors last month. While his development isn’t as central to Golden State’s future as James Wiseman’s or Eric Paschall’s, a leap from Poole could provide the Warriors with much-needed wing depth. Poole’s growth could be especially helpful while Klay Thompson recovers from a torn Achilles. Plus, a better version of Poole next season would be beneficial since the tea, could potentially lose Brad Wanamaker, Bazemore and Kelly Oubre Jr. to free agency. For now, though, that’s not Poole’s concern. “I just want to play.”

Schedules: Tier improvement crucial From Page B3 To say the clock is ticking is an understatement. The first possible date for contacts (games, matches, meets, etc.) is Monday, though with the entire Sac-Joaquin Section in the California Department of Public Health’s Purple (widespread) Tier, the only sports that can be contested are cross country, golf, swimming and diving, tennis and track and field – none of which are usually held at this time of year. Sports allowable under the Red or “substantial” tier are baseball and softball; under the Orange “moderate” Tier badminton, football, soccer, volleyball and water polo can be contest; and under the Yellow “minimal” Tier basketball, wrestling and competitive cheer can be held. “The MEL is hustling to put together a vision for the season,” Wilson said. “Then the tough work of putting together competition schedules and respective protocols begins. Some of our schools are more prepared than others, but we all have lots of work to do to make things happen.” Football is a primary concern because the Section made April 17 – roughly four months from the start of the fall 2021 season – the last date games for the current school year can be played. All other sports must conclude by June 12. “The California Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, which is made up of leading doctors across the state of California, believes that there needs to be a period between when students end contact and when they start,” said

SJS Commissioner Mike Garrison. “Their recommendation was not going past April 17, so by that recommendation we as an organization have decided to keep the April 17 date as our final date for football.” With each county within the SJS needing to make a two-tier improvement in its status – a process that takes a minimum of several weeks for each step – the normal 10-week schedule is highly unlikely. “As far as football, the MEL is currently setting up a schedule that will include playing five games within our league,” Cordes said. “We definitely need things to be better and move into the red tier quickly, and then orange tier to make the football season a possibility, but we are all hopeful.” Wilson shared the same sentiments. “We are going to need to see significant progress in a short amount of time in order to see high school football this season,” he said. “If we get the chance to play, I can only envision an abbreviated, leagueonly schedule.” To get in a five-week schedule, the MEL would need to start play no later than March 16 with practice starting the last week of February or first week of March. “I envision us moving backwards from April 17 and laying out a five-game MEL league schedule,” said Matthew Bidou, Vanden athletic director, “adding on the couple weeks for the practice time of wearing helmets and pads and that will be our start date as long as we are in the Moderate Tier. If we are

not in the Moderate Tier, I think it’s time to move on so our football athletes can move on to an alternative sport.” To help facilitate getting in as many games as possible in all sports, the SJS also voted to eliminate all Section championships for this school year. “What we’re hearing from our membership,” Garrison said, “is that while they do care about playoffs – and that’s an important piece – while we’re in the current situation we’re in all they care about is getting kids out on the courts and the fields and the pools and the decks, whatever, etc., and having an opportunity to participate. That rationale is why we chose to do this.” That’s a tough blow for a program such as Vacaville wrestling, which has won at least one SJS title (individual masters or team) the last four years and 21 of the last 23. One area in which the MEL is fortunate is that each of its six schools resides within the same county, which means it doesn’t have to worry about different restrictions for travel and competition. “Our league being under one county’s umbrella is a benefit,” Bidou said. “We only have to follow the guidance from one county, and it applies to all of our schools in the MEL.” “Having the entire league in the single county definitely makes things much easier than if we were spread out over multiple counties,” Wilson said. “We are able to keep the league intact and should be able to run most of, if not all of, our sports in a way that is

very similar to what we are accustomed to during league play.” In contrast, the Sierra Delta and Sacramento Metro Athletic leagues are both split among five counties. Counties in the SDL include Solano (Rio Vista, and Vacaville Christian), Yolo (Esparto), Sacramento (Highlands and San Juan), El Dorado (Golden Sierra) and San Joaquin (Linden), while those in the SMAL are Solano (Buckingham Charter), Placer (Valley Christian and Western Sierra), Sacramento (Cristo Rey, Sacramento Adventist and Wilton Christian), Sutter (Faith Christian) and El Dorado (El Dorado Adventist). Garrison pointed out that the SJS is made up of 189 schools within 16 different counties and that 12 of its 26 leagues are located within three-tofive counties. “Only being able to participate against someone adjacent to you and in the same color tier could create some problems,” Garrison said. “The impetus (for recent changes) is in creating as much flexibility as possible for our schools, our districts and our leagues to make work what works best for them in the current situation.” Even with the restrictions – and the ticking clock – there is optimism that sports will be played this school year. “I think all of our sports will compete with a compacted schedule that will limit the number of contests,” Wilson said. “We will have to race into competition as quickly and as safely as possible and then we will have to maximize the little time we have in order to get the most out of the season.”

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21April 19). Resolve issues quickly regardless of how small and inconsequential they may seem. Otherwise, tiny tangles of troubles in the corners of your mind will have a way of slowing your thought processes. TAURUS (April 20May 20).

Feel free to forget them all in favor of reacting to what's going on. GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You tend to take any responsibility as seriously as if you were getting paid to fulfill the order. However, your attitude can get a little lax with your responsibilities to yourself. Fight this.

Through meditation, you can sweep out your mind, though, like most things that get swept, it only stays clear for the few moments it takes to set the stage for a glorious torrent of ideas.

Conversation comes from the subconscious. This is why you sometimes are very surprised at what you say. For instance, today a thought occurs to you for the first time just as it leaps from your tongue. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Your critical eye will be helpful in many tasks of the day, but use it judiciously. It won't always be appropriate to offer an opinion. And when working alone, save the critical phase for after the creative brainstorming. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Words can intrigue, delight, offend and portend – but they can't actually do. You'll be made aware of just how much can only happen in the thrust of action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). In some faiths, it is believed that there is, at our deepest level, a part of us that cannot be stained. This eternal purity within, if you can imagine it exists, will be accessible. One touch can fuel your day. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). A while back when you were reorganizing the pantry of your mind, an expensive little nugget of bitterness got pushed to the back wall. It's still there, though without potency, as faded as an old spice.

The hardest part of getting to the next level in life is figuring out what to do and setting goals.

10 steps to help you accomplish any goal Barton Goldsmith Tribune News Service

t’s a new year, and that usually means setting new goals for yourself. But this isn’t just any new year. Surviving 2020 was in itself a huge accomplishment. You should give yourself a pat on the back for doing just that. Those of us who are or will be fortunate enough to have grandchildren will tell them how we survived the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 – even though we almost lost everything. You will also be able to share with them how, in 2021, you began to open up new dreams and goals for yourself and how you made a path to reach them. The hardest part of getting to the next level in life is figuring out what to do and setting, sustaining and achieving your goal. Here is a simple, triedand-true goal achievement process that is based on psychological research done at a number of universities. It works best if you write everything down. 1. Describe your goal in as much detail as possible. What is your target date for reaching your goal? Remember to keep it reasonable; you may not be able to do anything for another few months so don’t set yourself up for frustration.

On relationships 2. When will you begin? The answer is right now, because the thought process has begun, but there are other first steps. Make a timeline for those. 3. Ask yourself what are the personal benefits you will receive from achieving this goal? Things like health, wealth, happiness, power, saving the world, or feeling love all count. Write them down. 4. Now ask yourself what benefits others can derive from the achievement of this (your) goal? If what you do benefits no one but yourself, then you won’t get as much out of it, and you also won’t find as much support along the way. Modify your goal, if needed, to bring benefits to others. 5. Make a list of possible obstacles. Anything from money to time – write down as many obstacles as you can think of. You may want to give up after this part of the process, or redirect, but trust me, this is a good thing. We would have responded very differently if we had known the truth about Covid-19 when it first appeared. 6. Now list some provable solutions to overcoming those potential obstacles. If you know what the problems are, this is a good thing, because you can usually figure out how to overcome them.

7. What action steps do you need to take to reach your goal? Break your tasks into bite-sized chunks that you can accomplish on your own. Or if you need help from someone else, then write down exactly what needs to happen and what resources you will require. Start with the big picture and just start filling in the blank spaces with what you think you might need to do to accomplish your goal. 8. Now create a timeline for taking each of those action steps. These are estimates, so give yourself a little room and plan for temporary setbacks and contingencies. 9. Make the commitment to achieving your goal, put all of your answers in writing, sign at the bottom of the list, and look at your goal progress every day. It will help you reach the goal you desire. 10. Don’t keep it a secret, but don’t brag. Tell other people and get your loved ones involved. The more support you have, the greater your motivation and chance of success. Yes, it’s short and sweet and extremely doable if you follow the process. I have all of this on a one-page worksheet available on my website for free, because if you reach your goals, I have achieved mine. Dr. Barton Goldsmith is a psychotherapist in Westlake Village.

Teach children good dental habits Shai Davis

Routine toothbrushing

Special to the Daily Republic

ebruary is National Children’s Dental Health Month. This national health observance reinforces the benefits of good oral health among children. Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases in the United States, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that children who have poor oral health – more than 1 in 5 children ages 2 to 5 years old – have at least one cavity in their baby teeth. Untreated cavities can cause pain, infections and problems with speaking, eating and learning. Children who suffer from poor oral health are three times more likely to miss school because of dental pain. Many parents assume that cavities in baby teeth are not important because they are not permanent. However, decay in baby teeth can lead to future dental problems. The good news is that tooth decay among children can be prevented. The best way to protect your child’s teeth is to teach them good dental habits such as daily toothbrushing, eating a healthy diet and going to the

As soon as a baby’s first tooth erupts, this is the time to start using fluoride toothpaste. Using a tiny smear of toothpaste, clean the teeth at least twice a day right after breakfast and before bedtime. Starting at age 3, children can use a pea-size amount of fluoride toothpaste and brush twice daily. Always supervise children younger than 6 years old, as they are more likely to swallow toothpaste and have difficulty brushing their own teeth without help. Teach your child not to swallow, as swallowing fluoride toothpaste may cause white or brown spots on the child’s adult teeth. There are many types of advice about whether to brush up and down or in circles. What matters most is to clean each tooth thoroughly, from top to bottom and inside out.

Healthy diet Your child’s diet will play a key role in maintaining strong and healthy teeth. Having good sources of calcium such as yogurt, broccoli and milk contribute to your child’s strong teeth. Sugary food, especially

sticky ones like caramel or toffee, can stay in the mouth for hours and may cause damage. It’s a great idea for children to eat fruits and vegetables for snacks rather than candy, and drink water during mealtimes instead of soda. Brushing your child’s teeth after eating sugary foods can also minimize tooth decay.

Regular dental checkups The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children see a dentist and establish a dental home by age 1. Children who are taken to the dentist are more likely to develop a good attitude about dental visits. Finding problems early on can prevent or treat tooth decay and ensure that all teeth are developing normally. During dental visits, children can get fluoride varnish every six months until age 5. Fluoride varnish helps to prevent tooth decay and is considered “a preventive care service,” meaning public and private health insurance plans should cover fluoride varnish. Visit the dentist every six months for regular cleanings and checkups. Shai Davis is a health education specialist at Solano Public Health.

She joined the military and enlisted as a Security Forces specialist in August 2009, when she was just 19 years old. When she began her career in Security Forces, she knew the job had been traditionally male-dominated. Although this has changed over the years, Nelson said gender stereotyping still happens in the military. “As a female in the Air Force, I think it’s safe to say my biggest challenge has been trying to prove myself to be as good as one of the boys – proving that I am as capable of shooting as good as the guys, being more physically fit or making sure my work was better than the males I worked with,” Nelson said. “Now don’t get me wrong, I love my job and the opportunities that I have been given. But I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t say that it was a challenge as a young airman to make a name for myself other than the

of technical sergeant. Her supervisor, Tech. Sgt. Ali Williams, an assistant flight chief with the 921st, spoke highly of her and said she was without a doubt a top-tier airman, equipped with passion, logic and the ability to continuously accomplish tasks at an extremely high level. “Her character can be highlighted by the time she’s dedicated to her airmen day in and day out,” Williams said. “Whether it’s assisting them with a problem, mentor-

ing or leading members during a mission, Catherine not only excels but raises the bar for her peers to follow.” According to her supervisor, Nelson has earned a solid reputation among her peers. Although the men in her current job are supportive, she does sometimes feel that there are times she has to work a little harder, not for them, but for herself. Nelson said the missions in the 621st See Gender, Page B7

Expectations are high that artificial intelligence will be a game-changer for the military – and it is, in fact, one of the Defense Department’s top priorities. “We’re in the very early days of a very long history of continued very rapid development in the AI field,” said William Scherlis, director of the Information Innovation Office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. He spoke earlier this month at a virtual panel discussion at the Defense One Genius Machines 2021 summit. There are a lot of moving parts to AI that must come together to make it all work for the warfighter, he said. Components include machine learning, symbolic reasoning, statistical learning, knowledge representation, search and planning, data, cloud infrastructure, algorithms and computing, he said. “If you want to do strategy planning, then you’re gonna have a mashup of machine learning with, maybe, game theory and a few other elements,” he said. “So when we talk about AI, sometimes people are referring to just machinelearning algorithms and data and training. But in the systems engineering context, we’re really talking about how to build systems that, that have elements of AI capability embedded within them.” Scherlis discussed the history of AI, back to the 1940s, and noted that there were three waves of development. The first wave involved symbolic AI. Commercial income tax programs operate this way, using rules, logic and reasoning to reach a conclusion. The second wave involved neural nets, which Scherlis refers to as statistical AI. This third wave will need to focus on how AI systems interact with humans in a productive and symbiotic way, he said.

30 years on, Desert Storm sparked medical change Air Force Surgeon General Public Affairs FALLS CHURCH, Va. — This month marks 30 years since Desert Storm and it also marks a turning point in Air Force Medical Service’s Critical Care Air Transport Teams. “We were not serving the Army as well as we could have in the Air Force,” said Lt. Gen. Paul K. Carlton, a doctor and former Air Force surgeon general who had been working on the concept of such a team since the 1980s. As the U.S. military and its allies assembled in the Middle East in the summer and fall of 1990 for Operation Desert Shield in response to Iraq President Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, then-Colonel Carlton set up the 1,200-bed Air Force 1702nd Contingency Hospital in combination with an Army Combat Support Hospital outside of Muscat, Oman. Yet, as Operation Desert Shield turned to Operation Desert Storm on Jan. 19, 1991, the hospital only took in 42 patients and those were only from surrounding bases. “We did not get any war wounded,” said Carlton, who offered beds to the Central Command surgeon in an effort to better utilize the facility. To make the case for his hospital, Carlton traveled to the

Dennis Mulline, left, of the 137th AES receive a mission briefing during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. battlefield to offer assistance. “I picked up a couple of (air evacuation) missions just to let more people know we existed,” he said. “I told Army commanders to send anyone to us.” But it soon became apparent the Air Force could not meet the Army’s needs. “We could not take people with catheters or tubes, much less needing a ventilator,” Carlton said. Instead of relying on the Air Force, the Army built large hos-

pitals closer to the front. “The Army built up just like they did in Vietnam,” Carlton said. “They had a very big footprint.” Air Force Medical Service leadership wanted smaller hospitals connecting back to the United States, but to do that, they needed a modern transportation system. Although Carlton and other colleagues had worked on improvements to patient transportation since 1983, air evacuations were still restrictive. The equipment needed to keep a patient

alive was new and untested. “Modern ventilators blew out lungs all the time,” Carlton said. “We needed to work the kinks out and we needed the opportunity to work in the modern battlefield. We needed critical care in the air.” When the war ended in late February, Carlton and other Air Force Medical Service officers returned home and brought their ideas for transport teams to the Air Training Command. “The war was not an aberration,” Carlton said. “We had to modernize our theater plans to be able to transport patients.” Carlton and his colleagues trained three-person crews to work with new and improved ventilation equipment aboard airplanes. “That was the long pole in the tent,” he said. “When you take a critical care patient you say ‘we can ventilate that patient,’ and you better be able to.” With the new program up and running, the Air Force Medical Service made the transport team available to the other services. Critical Care Air Transport Teams gained momentum in 1993 when Carlton and his colleagues traveled to Mogadishu, Somalia, for an after-action brief on the U.S. Army’s “Blackhawk Down” engagement and See Teams, Page B7

Teams: Now common after inspiration From Page B6 explained transport teams to the Joint Special Operations Command surgeon. He, in turn, handed Carlton a check and said, â€œI want that as soon as you can make it.â€? The turning point came in 1995 during the Bosnian War, when an American soldier riding a train to Bosnia was electrocuted by an overhead wire and fell off the train. He was immediately transported to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany, where doctors wanted him transferred to the burn unit at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. When Maj. Bill Beninati, a doctor, picked up the patient for the flight to the United States, he was still unstable. Somewhere over

The patients are being medically evacuated from Al-Jubayl Air Base to Germany for treatment of wounds received during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Greenland, the patient went into septic shock, forcing Beniniati and his team to resuscitate him. When the team touched down in San Antonio, some 12 hours later, the patient was in better shape than

when he left. â€œThatâ€™s when the Army took notice,â€? Carlton said. â€œWe had convinced them that we could do what we said.â€? Soon, the Air Force surgeon general at the

time, Lt. Gen. Alexander Sloan, approved the transport team concept. Later, with the strong endorsement of Air Force Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Charles Roadman II, Critical Care Air Transport Teams became a formal program. Critical Care Air Transport Teams proved invaluable in the next conflict, Operation Iraqi Freedom, where casualty evacuation became a vital necessity, as well as in Afghanistan. Carlton is proud of the transport teams. â€œWe have developed a modern transportation system to go along with the modern battlefield for the Army, Navy, and the Marines,â€? Carlton said. Today, Critical Care Air Transport Teams are considered a vital component of the Air Force Medical Service.

The people that have come into my life here at the (Contingency Response Wing) have become a family to me and I am truly blessed for this experience.â€? But perhaps one of Nelsonâ€™s most memorable experiences in the wing was during her

deployment with the airfield assessment team to help with hurricane relief in the Bahamas. â€œIâ€™ve always wanted to serve and help people in need,â€? she said. â€œIt was truly humbling and beautiful to watch people come from all over to deliver supplies, aid, or just anything they could fit into their planes.â€? For the future, Nelson wants to finish her bachelorâ€™s degree and has even thought of potentially becoming an officer. â€œIf this doesnâ€™t happen for me, I would love to teach at the Air Force Academy. The saying goes, â€˜If you canâ€™t do it, then teach it,â€™ â€™â€™ she said. â€œI would love to make an impact on someoneâ€™s life, which could have a huge impact on the Air Force in the future.â€?

Time to transition to a new calling

Court orders review of ban on clergy at executions Tribune Content Agency The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered a federal judge in Brownsville to determine the legality of a Texas policy change that bars clergy from accompanying death row inmates into the execution chamber. The 2019 policy was challenged by inmate Ruben Gutierrez, a Roman Catholic who argues that the clergy ban violates his right to the free exercise of religion and a federal law that protects the religious practice of inmates. In a one-paragraph order, the Supreme Court directed U.S. District Judge Hilda Tagle to analyze and rule on the claims raised by Gutierrez, who was sentenced to death in the 1998 murder of Brownsvilleâ€™s Escolastica Harrison, 85. Gutierrezâ€™s case continues a highstakes legal fight over the Texas policy on spiritual advisers in the Huntsville prison chamber where lethal injections are carried out. The state had long allowed prison chaplains, all of whom were Christian or Muslim, to accompany death row inmates into the execution chamber. That changed in 2019 when inmate Patrick Murphy, a Buddhist, complained that the practice discriminated against prisoners of other faiths, and

the Supreme Court halted Murphyâ€™s execution to consider his arguments. At the time, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that the state could fix the â€œdenominational discriminationâ€? problem by letting inmates be accompanied by a clergy member of their choice, or by allowing spiritual advisers into the nearby viewing room but not the execution chamber. Days later, Texas prison officials adopted the second choice, barring all clergy from the chamber. Murphy remains on death row. Under the policy announced in April 2019, clergy may visit an inmate between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. on execution day, a time also set aside for visits with defense lawyers. The visits are conducted â€œthrough multiple layers of wire mesh that make it difficult to see the condemned,â€? and at least four guards stand no more than 10 or 15 feet away, Gutierrez told the Supreme Court in a legal brief. Gutierrez, 43, argued that the policy was changed for the convenience of prison administration in violation of federal law and the Constitutionâ€™s First Amendment. Defense lawyer Shawn Nolen said Gutierrez is a devout Catholic who needs the presence of clergy â€œto help him pass from life into afterlife.â€?

Trade: Goff suffered late thumb injury From Page B3

Local report

Feb. 18, a day after the teamâ€™s first scheduled spring workout for pitchers and catchers. â€œI loved playing with these guys,â€? Gregorius said after last season. â€œThey were a great group of guys. I had fun playing the game the right way with these guys.â€?

The Phillies have comm it ted $152.5 million this winter to free agents, more than all but one other team. They signed Realmuto Friday to a five-year contract worth $115.5 million as they retained both of their top free agents, a scenario that seemed unlikely when the season ended.
