Fairfield council to consider retail marijuana permits Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The approval of two cannabis retail permits will be considered by the City Council when it meets virtually at 6 p.m. Tuesday. There are five applicants for the two permits. The two potential vendors that scored the highest in the application steps were Responsible & Compliant Retail Fairfield LLC, which proposes a location of 180 Serrano, Suite A, and East of Eden North Bay LLC, which proposes a location at 1740 Travis Blvd. The other applicants are Element 7 Fairfield LLC (2320 Courage Drive); FWC Inc.

(150 Alaska Ave.); and Authentic Fairfield LLC (2470 Martin Road). All five applicants scored above 91% on the city’s evaluation scale. “If the city were to issue the two retail and one manufacturing commercial cannabis business permits available, the anticipated tax revenue generated is estimated to be between $265,000 to $385,000 annually. This estimate assumes an average of $3 million in gross receipts for two retailers and $1 million for a manufacturer,” the staff report to the council states. However, the action before the council does not mention the manufacturer’s permit. Among the other issues before the council is a zoning change

request, from limited industrial to neighborhood commercial, on two parcels located at the southwest corner of Peabody and Cement Hill roads. The public session follows a closed session at 5 p.m., during which the council will conduct a performance evaluation of the city manager, will be updated on labor negotiations, and will review a potential matter of litigation and a workers’ compensation matter in litigation.

NEW YORK — Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine was cleared for use in the U.S., making a third shot available that could plug gaps in the nation’s immunization campaign as concern grows over an influx of virus variants. The Food and Drug Administration said in a statement on Saturday that it had granted an emergency-use authorization for the single-dose vaccine for people 18 and older. The decision comes after the U.S. hit a sad milestone with 500,000 Americans dead from the virus, and at a time when health officials are raising alarms that recent declines in the number of new cases may be stalling. The J&J shot is highly

FAIRFIELD — What cities and other local jurisdictions have made in cannabis-related taxes is not part of the nearly $2.1 billion collected by California since 2018. The state Department of Tax and Fee Administration reported Friday that the state collected $236.4 million from the pot industry in the final three months of 2020, though that number is expected to go up when late reporting allowed due to Covid-19 comes in. That fourth-quarter figure rep-

resents $123.4 million in excise tax, $31.6 million in cultivation tax and $81.4 million in sales tax, the agency reported. Overall, the state has collected $2.07 billion since 2018. “Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all but the largest taxpayers were given a three-month extension to file their fourth quarter 2020 tax returns with (California Department of Tax and Fee Administration),” the agency said in a statement. “These returns are now due on April 30, 2021.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden called on lawmakers to quickly approve his $1.9 trillion Covid-19 aid package, which passed the House of Representatives early Saturday and heads to the Senate. “It’s time to act,” Biden said in brief remarks Saturday at the White House, adding that an “overwhelming” percentage of the Americans support the legislation. “We have no time to waste,” Biden said. “If we act now, decisively, quickly and boldly, we can finally get ahead of this virus, we can finally get our economy

He grabbed a copy of the next day’s newspaper, presumed “Kelly Jones” was a woman and presented it as such. (Editor’s note: That incident should have been eliminated in the editing. Who cares?) “Kelly Jones” called, demanded a correction and had a point. We did a sloppy job reporting.

I started with “ ‘Kelly Jones’ was misidentified as a woman. He is a man.” No. Then, “Roger Craig didn’t kiss ‘Kelly Jones’ during spring training.” That created more questions than answers. The first goal of editor’s notes and corrections is to get facts correct. The second goal is to not make things worse. The more I thought about it, the worse it got. Nothing was simple. I secondguessed myself. Why did we allow that guy to represent us? Why hadn’t I realized that “Kelly Jones” wouldn’t get a kiss on the cheek from Roger Craig? Maybe more than anything, how did “Kelly Jones” find out about the article, months later? How angry was

Florida couple has catered to each other for 80 years Tribune Content Agency Eight decades of marriage for Boca Raton, Florida, Jewish couple Lou and Edith Bluefeld includes many years working on a successful family kosher catering business. Through Bluefeld Caterers – The Orchid Touch, the family was responsible for koshering the White House kitchen during the announcement of the Camp David Accords in the late 1970s under President Jimmy Carter. They also catered President Richard Nixon’s inaugural ball and events for members of Congress. While the Bluefelds celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary on Feb. 23, this is also the year they both turn 100. Lou marked his centennial birthday on Jan. 9 , and Edith will for hers on Aug. 4. Lou Bluefeld said the most important thing right now for the couple is that they’re both healthy. “That’s the big thing,” he said. “You need enough money to exist, but after that, it means nothing. The health is everything.” The couple met in Baltimore when they were 16. At 19, Lou’s mother asked him what his intentions were. He told his mother he didn’t have the money to get married and she told him not to worry about it. “My mother was the one who really made the wedding arrangements,” Lou Bluefeld said. Shortly after the wedding on Feb. 23, 1941, Lou Bluefeld’s mother sadly died at the age of 51 in

Edith and Lou Bluefeld of Boca Raton, Fla., celebrate their 80th wedding anniversary, Feb. 23. August of that year. Two years after the wedding, he went off to serve in World War II. Edith wrote to her husband every day of the three years he was in the military. After his service, the couple went on to have two children, a son and a daughter, and the family kosher catering business flourished. Lou Bluefeld’s mother started the catering business in Baltimore in 1937, and he worked in the business all the time as a teen. He told Edith that if she wanted to see him, she would have to come work beside him in the business, so she did. She began as Lou’s secretary. Many non-Jewish socialites in Baltimore used the catering business for their affairs, even though the food was kosher. “That was a unique time,” Lou Bluefeld said. “Even though it was a kosher operation, we did any fine Italian wedding and any fine Greek wedding.” Lou Bluefeld continued, “Good food is good

food, but the idea was ours was not just food; it was also an event.” “Food is a very important part of a wedding, but it’s only one part,” he said. “The music is also very important. The flowers are important. The clothes, the gowns are also important.” Lou Bluefeld added, “We spent a lot of our time making the whole party, not just the catering, because we realized very early in our career that if the music was bad, it was an awful affair.” “We were insistent on the music being done property, with music being played at the right time.” “If people were eating dinner, we made sure the music was more or less background noise,” he said. “All the little things that no one ever though about, we made sure to think about.” Lou Bluefeld noted, “Toward the end of our career, almost 50% of our operation was non-Jewish work, but it was all kosher.” The family sold the business in 1984.

Bluefeld commented about both her marriage to her husband and working alongside him. “It was a very enjoyable business, and I loved it,” she said. “Today, we’re both healthy. We’ve had a beautiful life.” Since 1985, the Bluefelds have lived at Boca West Country Club.

“Kelly Jones?” Would this mistake ruin any chance I had of ultimately working for the San Francisco Examiner? (Editor’s note: Of course it did.) Finally, I figured it out. With some help from the managing editor, we simplified it. “ ‘Kelly Jones’ was misidentified in an article about baseball spring training in March.” (Editor’s note: If he wanted help, he needed an editor.) The lessons? Be careful who you trust to represent your organization. Never guess names. Ask an editor for help when you need it. And who wanted to work at the San Francisco Examiner, anyway?

FAIRFIELD — There seemed to be a little turnabout is fair play going on Friday at the headquarters of the Solano County Office of Education. Teachers were told to follow the yellow “ribbon,” and later were sent to sit down quietly for 15 minutes before being allowed to go. It was all part of a vaccination clinic at which

1,000 teachers and other school staff received their first of two Covid-19 vaccinations. They will be back in three weeks to get the second. Lisette EstrellaHenderson, the county superintendent of schools, showed a sense of great relief when asked what this means. “Teachers want to be in front of kids, and kids want to be in front of teachers,” Estrella-Henderson said. “And this is . . . getting us

closer to that.” Estrella-Henderson early on in the novel coronavirus pandemic expressed her concerns about the long-term effects on students, and most particularly those students with physical and learning disabilities who may not do well in a distancelearning environment. The Office of Education began in-person instruction in November for students with moderate and severe disabilities,

as well as English-learning and other students with special needs. “They really benefit the most being person-to-person with a teacher,” she said. Word came down to the Solano County Office of Education staff in the late afternoon that even more vaccination doses had been made available, so hundreds more are expected to get their See Vaccine, Page A6

FAIRFIELD — Solano County, with 56 new cases Friday, marked the largest single day of new coronavirus cases since Feb. 19 when there were 74 confirmed cases. It was Feb. 20 that the county began a hopeful count from the purple tier to the red, which was the first of three days that had a daily average of 31 that pushed Solano to the cusp of the less restrictive tier. It looked even more hopeful Tuesday when the number of new cases rose by just 23, which took the four-day average to 29 – below the threshold to qualify for the red tier in the state’s Covid-19 monitoring system. But back-to-back days of 43 new cases, and now 56, has the county at 36.86 new cases per day after the full week.

It needs to have a 14-day average of below 31 cases by Friday to qualify for the red tier. That is also dependent on the sevenday positivity testing rate staying below 8%. It was reported Friday at 5.6%, slightly down from Thursday. Hospitalizations across Solano County also fell Friday, from 45 to 37, and the intensive care unit capacity jumped from 29% to 37%, the county reported. California’s colorbased 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 a substantial spread of the virus. See Purple, Page A5

Survey: Top Suisun City priorities include safety, attracting business Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — The city asked and 379 residents responded to a city survey. The results will be shared at the City Council meeting, which begins at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. The online questions were posted from Jan. 22 through Feb. 14 and included 61 closed-ended questions and 11 openended questions. “In general, Suisun City residents are satisfied with the services provided,” said a staff report. “Their favorite and least favorite things about Suisun City are consistent with a similar type of survey from 2019 naming the ‘small-town feel’ as the favorite thing and ‘homelessness’ as the least favorite thing.” The top three priorities of the residents who responded were: n Overall cleanliness in the city, 72%. n Public safety, 58%. n The downtown and attracting new business, 57%. The three highestrated areas were: n Feeling of safety, 3.3/5. n Public transportation, 3.3/5. n Parks and recreation, 3.1/5. The top three concerns were: n Overall cleanliness in the city. n Business and job opportunities. n Feeling part of the community. Respondents expressed a high level of satisfaction with fire and medical ser-

Suisun City closed all of its parks due to the Covid-19 pandemic, including this one near City Hall. vices. Residents would like more police presence across the city, specifically in downtown and along the waterfront. They also noted homelessness contributes to the lower sense of safety after dark, downtown and in the parks. Concerns about the homeless also surfaced when respondents were asked about the quality of maintenance of parks and biking/walking trails. Several comments expressed specific concern with recurring fires at homeless camps and claimed the city needs more firefighters. There was a conflicting response on housing. Some respondents did not want more housing; others wanted more affordable housing. Responses also showed

dissatisfaction with economic/jog opportunities as well as shopping opportunities, culture and entertainment options and dining options. Some complained the city has too many fastfood restaurants and gas stations. The survey suggests that community life has been negatively affected by Covid-19 and subsequent mitigation measures. Over the past year, parks and facilities were most frequently used, whereas the level of participation in other activities was quite low. In the aftermath of the pandemic, there is an opportunity to re-engage resident in civic life. Ages 55 and older accounted for 46% of the respondents; 61% answering the ques-

tions were women. Lawler Ranch and Dover Terrace North submitted the most responses. Thirty-five percent are homeowners and 88% own their homes. More than half of the respondents were white. Thirteen percent declined to state their race. Council members are asked to hear the presentation, discuss and provide direction to staff. The City Council chamber is open. Masks are required. A limited number of seats are available. To reserve one, send an email to clerk@suisun. com or call 421-7302. The meeting can also be viewed on Zoom teleconference platform and the city’s Facebook page. The complete agenda, with survey results, can be found at www.suisun.com.

Sept. 14, 1946 — Jan. 1, 2021

On Friday, Jan. 1, 2021, David Lee Wiseman Sr., ‘Wiezer’, loving husband, father of two and grandfather to five, passed away while surrounded by his family, at the age of 74. Wiezer was born on Sept. 14, 1946, in Beckley, West Virginia, to Tillen and Emma Louise Wiseman. At a young age his family moved to St. Louis, where he attended and graduated from Mehlville High School in 1965. In 1977, he married Patricia Ann McDermott and moved to Vacaville, California, to begin his career at the opening Anheuser-Busch Brewery. A short time later they settled in Fairfield, California, where they stayed and raised their two children, David Jr. and Kathryn. He opened a new door in California where he met and held dear the many people he came to know. While in Fairfield and through his passion for bringing people together, he organized the Fairfield AB Brewery softball team that spanned decades, competing on a national level and continuing to create new connections. He and other brewers frequently organized group family trips to Candlestick, Tahoe and other destinations. He loved people, the blues, rock and roll, reading, football, softball, racquetball, golf, but he loved nothing more than spending time with his family. Although he left St. Louis, St. Louis never left him. He and his family frequently returned to

visit family, play golf with friends, socialize at preferred watering holes, have the occasional brain sandwich and, of course, visit his beloved Cardinals. He was known for his judgment, style, class, humor, friendship, honor, honesty, being sharply dressed, and most of all for his kind and generous spirit. He was a man who led by example of how one should carry themselves in this world. Although he has moved on from this world, his spirit lives on in those whose lives he touched. He is survived by his loving wife, Patty; brother, Tommy; sister, Connie; his two children, Dave Jr. and Katie; grandchildren; several cousins, nieces and nephews; and many close and cherished friends. Wiezer was preceded by his father, Tillen; mother, Emma Louise; and his brother, Richard. In accordance with his wishes, the family will hold a celebration of life, a more joyous occasion celebrating the times shared and the times ahead. However, due to current coronavirus concerns, the family has chosen to follow current health guidelines in order to protect the health and well-being of family and friends. As a result, the Mass service will likely be private, however Wiezer’s celebration of life will be held at the earliest opportunity for public gatherings. To be placed on the notification list, please contact Dave Jr. ‘Little Wiez’ at wisemanjr@ gmail.com.

cleanup days. Changes or disruptions should be reported to the volunteer program managers who will then report the issues to the city. The program not only offers the chance to keep the community clean but also a way to connect with fellow community members, said a press release from the city. “Suisun City is in a very unique geographic location,” the release said. “Its southern border is the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area. The wildlife area contains the largest contiguous brackish water marsh left in the country (west of the Mississippi).” All storm drain inlets within city limits drain into either the harbor or into the wildlife area. The wildlife area drains into Grizzly Island Bay. Grizzly Island Bay then drains under the Carquinez Bridge into the northern portion of the San Francisco Bay. The San Francisco Bay drains directly into the Pacific Ocean. “This makes us direct stewards of the environment, and any single piece of trash that is picked up is one less piece that ends up with our waterways,” the release said.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, February 28, 2021 A5

Supes consider changes with Senior Coalition Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will consider recommendations that would include no longer funding the Senior Coalition of Solano County. “The report recommendations allow the Senior Coalition to continue with its current contract funding of $30,221 for a coordinator until June 30, 2021,” the staff report to the board states. “ T he rema in ing

$26,579 budgeted for (fiscal year) 2020-21 would remain unspent and return to the General Fund. Additionally, the report recommends eliminating the $56,800 of General Fund going annually toward the Senior Coalition of Solano County starting in (fiscal year) 2021-22.” The coalition’s role as an advisory board to the supervisors would be absorbed by the Area Agency on Aging. “As currently operating, the Senior Coalition does not meet the definition of an advisory board

to the (Board of Supervisors). Its administrative support staff is an independent contractor, not a county employee, and the group has infrequently provided advice to the BOS on policy and legislation,” the staff report states. “Other advisory boards in Solano County and neighboring counties are staffed by county employees with no additional county funds. Therefore, the recommendation is that the Senior Coalition be declassified as an advisory board of the Board of Supervisors.”

FAIRFIELD — A $150 voucher for a Stihl product will go to someone who signs up and takes a short survey on Solano County’s hazard mitigation plan. “This plan will update the existing 2012 plan for unincorporated Solano County and add all seven cities,” a statement released by the Office of Emergency Services said. “The goal of the hazard mitigation plan is to reduce the loss of life and property by reducing the impact of disasters. The planning process begins with identifying natural disaster risks and vulnerabilities that are possible in our county.”

The board is also scheduled to receive an update on the LNU Lightning Complex Fire recovery, Covid-19 and vaccination rollout and legislative matters. It also will discuss the proposed $550,000 purchase from the Fairfield-Suisun School District of the former Falls Elementary School site, located at 1624 and 1634 Rockville Road. There are unspecified administrative and other related fees, as well as

$5,000 needed for an initial environmental study. The primary reason for the proposed purchase is to protect the Cordelia Fire Protection District station that is on the property. The concern was if the property was sold into private ownership, the station could be forced to move. There have been no details offered about what other plans the county has for the property.

No parole for woman convicted of killing 9-month-old child Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A woman convicted of killing a young child a decade ago in Fairfield lost her bid for freedom this week when she was denied parole. Charitie L. Hennig, 44, is serving a 25-years-to-life sentence at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla. She was convicted of assault on a child resulting in death and voluntary manslaughter, the District Attorney’s Office reports. The jury acquitted her of a murder charge. The parole board agreed Thursday with Chief Deputy District Attorney Sharon S. Henry that the release of Hennig

The top priorities were those teachers and staff members who work at schools that are already open or offer some kind of hybrid program of in-class and distance learning. “All of those staff come into contact with students, and come into contact with each other,” Leonard said. “We had to start somewhere, and it really has to do with your risk factor.” Teachers have made headlines in Sacramento by lobbying the governor to move them to the front of the line so schools can

would pose a high risk for future violence. Matthew Dana, a 9-month-old boy, his twin brother and 2-yearold sister were placed in Hennig’s care Feb. 5, 2001, while their mother went to work. Fairfield police and paramedics responded that morning to a 911 call made by Hennig reporting that a 9-month-old baby was not breathing. Matthew Dana was transported to the hospital, but he did not survive. A pathologist located an extensive fracture on the back of the baby’s skull that was caused by blunt force trauma to the back of his head, the District Attorney’s Office reports. The forensic pathologist stated that the amount of force inflicted to cause

such injuries was like falling from several stories from a building. Hennig denied killing the boy, however she admitted to detectives that when she held him she felt like “squeezing his head” and “ripping his legs apart,” the District Attorney’s Office reports. A tr ial ended Dec. 4, 2001, with the guilty verdicts. Hennig was sentenced Jan. 8, 2002, to 25-years-to-life for the assault on a child resulting in death conviction and 11 years, which was stayed, for the voluntary manslaughter conviction. Hennig testified at her parole hearing in support of her bid for freedom. She may seek parole again in three years, the District Attorney’s Office reports.

open faster and still be safe. But there has been pushback, arguing there are a lot of people who come in contact with the public in their jobs. Estrella-Henderson said they were just following the state-set priorities, “and just try to get as many folks who are qualified in the door.” Several more schoolrelated clinics are being planned for the coming weeks. A list of 1,800 was the starting point for this clinic, but not everyone needed or wanted the vaccinations – at least at this time. As spots came open, others were offered the opportunity. A collection of volunteers as well as medical staff – including retired nurses, pharmacy person-

nel, staff from NorthBay Healthcare and Kaiser Permanente, Medic Ambulance, Fairfield firefighters, the Public Health Division and Solano County Office of Education nurses – were moving about 160 individuals through the lines per hour. The county’s mass vaccination clinic continued from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Solano County Fairgrounds in Vallejo. A similar clinic is planned from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday at Markham Elementar y School in Vacaville. Those who are eligible for vaccinations include county residents who are 65 to 74 with underlying health conditions, people who are 75 and older, health care workers and first responders.

FAIRFIELD — A man suspected of kidnapping and human trafficking remained jailed this weekend after being caught in a residential area of the city. The chase began after the California Highway Patrol received a report at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday of a human trafficking victim traveling in a rented Dodge Charger.

Regulating private Lady Gaga’s dogs recovered; mystery road special events, only deepens about the violent theft tourist homes back before commission Tribune Content Agency

Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Planning Commission on Thursday will revisit an issue it thought it had taken care of more than three months ago. The commission recommended Nov. 19 that the Board of Supervisors approve an ordinance that would require a minor use permit, rather than an administrative permit, for special event facilities and hosted short-term vacation rentals on property along private roads.

But the Board of Supervisors recently sent the issue back to the commission to evaluate suggested changes it had made to the proposed ordinance. The changes include notification requirements to area residents, water and sanitation and other regulations. Unhosted vacation rentals already required the use permit. The commission meets at 7 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors chamber on the first floor of the government center, 675 Texas St., in Fairfield.

A signage permit application for the 76 service station on Oday Road in rural Vacaville also will be considered. The telephonic hearing will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday.

LOS ANGELES — A woman returned Lady Gaga’s stolen dogs to the Los Angeles Police Department on Friday, but the mystery over their kidnapping and the shooting of their dog walker only intensified. The dogs were stolen in a brazen, violent attack in Hollywood. At 9:40 p.m. Wednesday, two men leapt out of a white sedan on North Sierra Bonita Avenue and demanded that Gaga’s dog walker, Ryan Fischer, hand over the musician’s three French bulldogs. As Fischer struggled with the robbers, one of them shot him once in the chest. The assailants grabbed two of the three dogs and sped off in the sedan, described by the police as a Nissan Altima. Police say they have no suspects in the attack. Law enforcement sources, who spoke on the condi-

cow – the California Air Resources Board’s drive to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and thus make California a global leader in fighting climate change. Howle’s report punched holes in CARB’s much-ballyhooed claims of achieving great reductions. “CARB has not done enough to measure the GHG emissions reductions its individual transportation programs achieve,” Howle wrote in a cover letter to Newsom and legislative leaders. “Specifically, CARB has not collected or evaluated sufficient data to allow it to determine whether or how its incentive programs, which pay consumers in exchange for purchasing low- and zero-emission vehicles, reduce GHG emissions beyond what CARB’s regulations already require. “For example, CARB has done little to measure the extent to which its incentive programs lead to emissions reductions by causing individuals and businesses to acquire clean vehicles that they otherwise would not. As a result, CARB has overstated the GHG emissions reductions its incentive programs have achieved, although it is unclear

by how much.” Bottom line: “The state will fall short of meeting the 2030 goal” of a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels “unless emissions reductions occur at a faster pace.” As with her other reports, Howle’s dive into the very technical field of greenhouse gas emission control is embarrassing to the state’s political leaders, who would rather have the public believe their self-serving claims. However, it also underscores the value of having someone without a political motive look into issues of governance. Thank goodness we have Howle’s office and the equally important Legislative Analyst’s Office, which monitors the state’s budgetary issues, to light up the darker recesses of California’s massive government.

City Council still not protecting city Council members Sullivan, Wylie and Silva have a clear agenda that is anti-police. They still haven’t stood up and specifically condemned the anti-police graffiti and death threats. Sullivan refuses to stand up for the city’s police officers, he refuses to condemn all police threats and violence against our Police Department. Sullivan’s posting on his Facebook page, “don’t believe everything you hear on social media” as well as him saying “we have families, we have lives, and your irresponsible statements can put those in jeopardy,” only seem to apply to himself. What about all the lives of police officers and their families? Sullivan’s neglect to help protect this city and its officers has put not only their lives but the lives of their families in jeopardy. Sullivan is not strong enough to stand up to the hate and lies that claim that our police officers are racist and this makes them a target. His weak leadership further emboldens those who seek to divide our community. Sullivan and Wylie have been seen at protests and are pictured on social media showing support for the protesters. Sullivan and Wiley are partially responsible for the vandalism and death threats due to their show of support for these groups. They have helped foster this environment of hate and violence. The question is, how should they be held accountable for this group and their role in helping to incite and escalate the tension in our city? The past president of the United State was impeached for inciting violence in the city where he was living. Nolan Sullivan, Jeanette Wylie, Michael Silva, Jason Roberts and Roy Stockton need to be recalled or resign because of the violence they have incited in

We further demand Solano County follow both the city of Benicia and Sonoma County in establishing an Office of Equity to solidify the county’s commitment to equity and the eradication of racist ideology.

Stop bullying teachers When Covid-19 caused the country to shut down last March, teachers, professionals that they are, immediately jumped into action as schools transitioned to online learning. They dropped supplies at students’ homes, organized celebration ceremonies and parades to celebrate their graduates, and through the summer, engaged in professional development by taking classes to more effectively teach online. They were cheered and praised for their rapid response to accommodate their students. What happened between March 2020 and January 2021? Unfortunately, the last administration prioritized opening bars and gyms instead of schools; too many adults scoffed at CDC guidelines including mask-wearing, the virus spread, and here we are. Experts say that students need to physically be in school, parents are upset and feel

Should short-term vacation rentals be allowed in county residential areas that are not also in tourist-related zones? • No. Residential neighborhoods, even larger parceled rural residential areas, are designed for just that. • Yes.

helpless seeing their children suffer, yet somehow, teachers were not prioritized highly enough for vaccinations, and now the vaccine is in short supply. Our governor tried bribing the school districts with $450 per student, and in Solano County, Dr. Bela Matyas, instead of ensuring the safety of teachers and staff, is pitting districts against each other, bullying teachers. He has decided that teachers who teach in schools that are already open will be prioritized for vaccinations. Our school districts are doing their best to meet the safety standards outlined by the CDC. Matyas must do his part. If all K-12 teachers are equally prioritized for vaccinations, they would feel safer returning to school campuses to teach their, already, overcrowded classes.

Officer shot to death at New Orleans school basketball game Tribune Content Agency A New Orleans high school basketball game turned into a nightmare Friday after a man shot and killed a police officer near the gymnasium, authorities said. The suspect, who was taken into custody immediately after the shooting, had gotten into an altercation with a staff member who refused to let him into the game at George Washington Car ver High School, according to police. An officer who was working security at the school intervened and tried to escort the suspect out of the building – only to be killed in the line of duty. The assailant pulled out a gun and shot the officer in the chest, police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told reporters at a news conference. The victim, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead at a hospital later that night. Most players and fans did not immediately realize what was going on as two loud bangs were heard during the final seconds of the first quarter. A video shared by local news

outlet WGNO shows people scrambling to find out what happened after the school went into a lockdown. The game was canceled. Police said the victim was a Tulane University police officer and a deputy constable with the Second City Court. “The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office mourns the loss of the deputy constable killed tonight in the line of duty,” Sheriff Marlin Gusman said in a tweet. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the 2nd City Court Constable at this difficult time.” School officials also issued a statement praising the slain officer. “He was a fixture at Carver sporting events and parades and we honor his memory,” they said, adding that “violence of any sort is intolerable.” The officer’s name will be released after his family is notified, Ferguson said. The suspect’s identity was also being withheld as police worked to file charges against him. The New Orleans Police Department’s homicide division is leading the investigation.

FAA: Delta passenger who hit flight attendant faces $27,500 fine Tribune Content Agency A Delta passenger is facing a $27,500 fine “for allegedly interfering with and assaulting a flight attendant,” the U.S. Department of Transpor tation’s Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday. The passenger, who hasn’t been named, allegedly hit a flight attendant in the face over a face mask dispute during a Delta Air Lines flight from Miami to Atlanta on Oct. 19. According to the FAA, the passenger was accompanied by another passenger who refused to use his face mask, secure his seat tray table and fasten his seat belt during the flight, as advised by the flight crew. As a result of his actions, the flight was ordered to return to the gate and the two passengers were asked to voluntarily get off the plane. They didn’t.

Detectives assigned to the case and representatives for Gaga went to the station and confirmed the dogs were the singer’s pets, Tippet said. It appeared that the woman, whom Tippet would not name, was not involved in the robbery or associated with the assailants, although the captain cautioned that the investigation was still underway. “I don’t want to get into any discussions about her or where the dogs were actually located,” Tippet said. “We’re providing very little information on this because this is an ongoing investigation and

According to the agency, “federal law prohibits interfering with aircraft crew or physically assaulting or threatening to physically assault aircraft crew or anyone else on an aircraft.” The FAA, which is enforcing a zero-tolerance policy for such misconduct, added that passengers who threaten “the safety of the flight by disrupting or distracting cabin crew from their safety duties” are subject to civil penalties. Earlier this year, FAA Administrator Steve Dickson signed an order “directing the agency to take strong action against any passenger who disrupts or threatens the safety of a flight, with penalties ranging from fines to jail time,” the agency tweeted at the time. because we are also concerned about her safety.” A source, who spoke to the Times on condition of anonymity, said the woman found the dogs tied to a pole. Lady Gaga had issued a $500,000 reward for the return of the dogs. Tippet declined to discuss the reward, but he said Gaga’s representatives were in contact with the woman.

What did we know from witnesses and videos on the incident? “They had a motive, and they didn’t care,” said Carlos Pantoja, 29, who said he witnessed the shooting from his porch before calling 911 and comforting the dog walker, Ryan Fischer, on the street.

Great white sharks and other varieties are an important part of the ecosystem as climate change occurs, scientists say.

Study: Sharks can help ecosystems survive effects of climate change Tribune Content Agency MIAMI — When a major hurricane, extreme heat or other climate threat devastates an ocean’s lifeblood, its recovery could be aided by the presence of sharks. Sharks as oceanic medics? That’s the idea behind a study on sharks and their role in the ocean. The study, led by researchers at Florida International University, was published this week in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Decimate sharks and you’ve made oceans less resilient to extreme climate events, said the FIU scientists. Researchers at the University of Washington and Deakin University in Victoria, Australia, also contributed to the study. The study was conducted from May 2013 to August 2014 and funded through a combination of a National Science Foundation Rapid Response grant, the PADI Foundation, fellowship awards and public donations. The team included lead author Rob Nowicki, a research affiliate at Sarasota’s Mote Marine Laboratory (he did the research as a Ph.D. student at FIU). He was joined by co-author Mike Heithaus, a marine ecologist and dean of FIU’s College of Arts, Sciences & Education, and FIU seagrass expert James Fourqurean. The team found that predators, like some sharks, including tiger sharks in this study, are critical for maintaining stability and biodiversity in the world’s oceans. The study found sharks are important in helping ecosystems recover In the video, one of the assailants shouts. “Give it up,” as the pair jumped out of the white Altima – right in front of Pantoja’s home, which has an Amazon Ring camera on the porch. Pantoja shared the video with The Times in hopes it could help bring the perpetrators to justice. A struggle immediately ensued from there. “Help me!” screamed Fischer, who is expected to recover and whom Lady Gaga thanked as a “hero” in a post to her 46 million Instagram followers Friday. He could not be reached for comment. In the video, a single shot rings out, and Fischer screams again. One of the dogs whines as it’s taken away. “Oh, my God. Help me!” Fischer screams. “Help me. I’ve been shot. I’ve been shot. Oh my God.” “We’re calling 911 for

when devastation hits from hurricanes or marine heatwaves. Sharks eat grazing animals that feed on aquatic plants like seagrass – which helps maintain water clarity, stores carbon dioxide and houses fish and other organisms that can keep seas healthy, the researchers say. To reach its conclusion, the team conducted a 16-month study in Shark Bay, Australia, an area populated by tiger sharks and dugongs, a cousin to the Florida manatee. Dugongs are strictly marine animals, whereas manatees can thrive in freshwater areas. “Grazing animals, including turtles and dugongs, eat seagrass. Sharks eat the grazers. Grazers fear the sharks. So, when sharks are around, the grazers often avoid the area. While the grazers are away, the aquatic plants have time to grow and recover. When an extreme climate event strikes, the ecosystem must deal with a whole new set of variables that requires time to recover,” the study said. Shark Bay was selected because a historic heatwave had decimated much of the bay’s seagrass canopy in 2011. Recovery was slow but was aided by the seasonal presence of sharks, researchers found. The grazers feed on shallow seagrass meadows but swim to deeper waters until sharks

leave in winter. But the 2011 heatwave destroyed much of the shallow seagrass canopy, and the

ture of the ecosystem break down, but it’s also all-but-impossible for that ecosystem to stage a comeback,” FIU said in a news release. “One of the reasons we did this study is because we think it’s important to be thinking about how everything is linked and sometimes those linkages are surprising,” Nowicki said in a statement. “But they show climate resilience is not something that happens on its own. It happens in conjunction — Rob Nowicki, lead author with species conservation.” Every ecodugongs munched much system on the planet of what was left.

The scene is partially obscured in the video by fencing and bushes, but Fischer’s screams capture the intensity of the attack and his efforts to hold on to the dogs. Pantoja described the aftermath as deeply disturbing – something he’s still working through in his head. Pantoja had been watching a movie with his boyfriend inside when he heard screaming outside, then the word “help,” he said. He went to his front door, opened it, and immediately saw the gunman put his arm out and open fire, he said. “I see him shoot.” Momentarily stunned as the robbers peeled away, Pantoja said he then told his boyfriend to stay inside as he rushed outside and began to call 911. Soon, he and another neighbor were

at Fischer’s side. While the neighbor grabbed a third dog that was not taken away from Fischer, Pantoja said he rubbed Fischer’s leg and urged him to fight any desire to “fade out.”

What are some theories about what happened? Thefts of purebred animals, which can fetch high prices even when they aren’t attached to pop stars, are not unheard of. And the LAPD in recent weeks has expressed concern about criminals in the city becoming more brazen about street robberies – which have been ticking up with the easing of pandemic-related lockdowns, including in the same general area as the dog theft.

Earlier this month, LAPD Chief Michel Moore highlighted a string of Wilshire Boulevard robberies where individuals were robbing people of Rolex watches. In a Jan. 30 incident also caught on camera, two attackers also jumped out of a white sedan near Melrose Avenue and North Vista Street – about a mile south in a straight line from where the dog theft occurred – and tackled a man before stealing his watch. Police sources said the pedigree and associated value of the animals could have been the basis for the robbery, but the level of violence used adds to their speculation that the attackers knew there could be a star-powered windfall associated with their return.

How W’s are bracing for most difficult stretch Connor Letourneau

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

riday night, after beating the Hornets at Chase Center, Warriors players hardly uttered a word to each other in the home locker room. Head coach Steve Kerr viewed the silence as a sign that his team wasn’t satisfied. Fresh off their first three-game win streak of the season, the Warriors knew they could play better. They’ll get the chance to see where they

ANALYSIS fit in the Western Conference hierarchy in coming days. After three road games against the Lakers (Sunday), Trail Blazers (Wednesday) and Suns (Thursday), the Warriors have a week off for the All-Star break before playing the Clippers (March 11 at Staples Center), Jazz (March 14 at Chase Center) and the Lakers (March 15 at Chase Center). Those six

games include matchups against five of the West’s top six teams. At 19-15, the Warriors are seventh in the conference. Kerr hopes that their current threegame win streak, which took eight tries to secure, was a breakthrough of sorts. Though the Warriors boast a top-5 defense and an MVP candidate in Stephen Curry, they spent much of the season’s first two months toiling through inconsistencies.

The next half-dozen games – likely the hardest such stretch on the schedule – will show Golden State whether recent wins over the Knicks, Pacers and Hornets were an aberration or an indicator that it has finally figured out what was plaguing it. “I think it’s going to be a good test for us to see how good of a team we are,” center Kevon Looney said. “We’ve had a lot of ups and downs throughout the season. . . .

Now, we’ll see if we can string some wins together.” The next six games could go a long way in helping determine whether the Warriors have to participate in a play-in tournament for the seventh and eighth seeds in the playoffs. To avoid that, Golden State must finish the season sixth or better in the West – a realistic goal given that only four games separate the fourth- and eighth-place teams.

Between now and the All-Star break, the Warriors have just one practice, on Tuesday, to remedy nagging issues. But in a season defined by testing, strange travel plans and fan-less games amid the coronavirus pandemic, teams have become accustomed to dealing with less preparation than normal. “I don’t need to learn anything about the team now,” Kerr said. “I think I See W’s, Page A14

ROCKVILLE — Spring is in the air at Solano Community College, and soon baseballs, softballs and tennis balls will be as well. Erik Visser, SCC athletic director, announced Friday that the school had notified the California Community College Athletic Association that it is opting in for the Late Spring sports season. Spring sports at Solano include baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s swimming. Practices start next week with April 10 the first day of competition. Solano also elected to

participate in CCCAA’s Limited Activites Opportunities for fall/winter sports, which would allow for up to two scrimmages for men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and women’s soccer. “We’ve been waiting a little bit for this moment that we can return to some sort of normalcy,” Visser said. “We’re excited about it. . . .We are looking forward to having the opportunity to bring back our student-athletes through a phased in approach. “Our priority is to safeguard the health and safety of our student athletes as we have adopted strict Covid protocols. Our

coaches and student-athletes have displayed great resilience and perseverance through this difficult time and are excited to participate.” Visser said the decision to opt in was made Tuesday by campus leadership – led by President Dr. Celia Esposito-Noy – and Solano’s coaches were told Wednesday so that their student-athletes “could find out from them and not from (the media).” The CCCAA’s opt in/opt out deadline was Friday. “I think in general the last couple weeks the Covid cases seem to be dropping,” Visser said of what led to Solano’s returning to play. “(Under) state

and county guidelines, we’re going from purple potentially (back) to red, potentially to orange, and there are announcements that youth sports were starting to resume as well. All of this kind of played into our decision.” Visser added that the school’s athletic department had been preparing for the opportunity to get back into competition. “One thing that was really important to our campus leadership was developing a safety plan – testing, contact tracing and social distancing guidelines,” Visser said. “It went a long way to reassuring

FAIRFIELD — Paradise Valley and Rancho Solano golf courses are accepting registrations for the Spring 2021 PGA Junior Golf League season. “The PGA Jr. League is a competitive league comprised of two age groups of all skill levels: 13 and under and 14-17,” according to a release by Paradise Valley and Rancho Solano. “The league brings boys and girls together to learn and play golf on co-ed teams, with expert coaching from PGA and LPGA

Top pitching prospect Jefferies Giants prospects to get opportunity to start A’s Cactus League opener to ‘play amongst the big boys’ Tribune Content Agency SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — With a month of Cactus League games to prepare for the regular season, Giants manager Gabe Kapler doesn’t want to ask too much of his veteran players too soon. The Giants will be cautious with easing players such as Evan Longoria, Brandon Crawford and Buster Posey into action, so many of the youngest prospects in camp should have early opportunities to hit the field and make an impression on the major league coaching staff. “I’m excited for them to be able to play amongst the big boys and show people where they belong,” Giants farm director Kyle Haines said. “They’re going to come in and I don’t think they’re fazed by anything anymore.” Giants fans have heard the names of top prospects such as shortstop Marco Luciano, outfielder Heliot Ramos and starting pitcher Sean Hjelle for the last several years, but with the cancelation of the 2020 minor league season due to the coronavirus pandemic, there haven’t been many

chances to see them in action. That should change this spring as the Giants plan to have a large group of the organization’s top prospects who received invitations to major league camp appear in Cactus League games. The Giants haven’t outlined their plans for how frequently players such as middle infield prospect Will Wilson or 2020 first round draft choice Patrick Bailey will take at-bats, but the coaching staff is motivated to see how they fare against tough competition. “A lot of these guys were at the summer camp or alternate site and I think the new of being around the major league staff for some of the position players especially is over and now they just get to focus on competing or getting better at Scottsdale Stadium,” Haines said. Early in the spring, it’s unlikely veteran players such as Alex Dickerson or Mike Yastrzemski will play on back-to-back days. The Giants have plenty of other outfielders on the depth chart including LaMonte Wade Jr. and Steven Duggar who they need to evaluate, but in the later innings of spring training games,

fans should have a chance to watch Ramos or Bishop patrol the outfield and step into the batter’s box. Ramos, the franchise’s first round draft choice in 2017, is considered a leader of the next wave of Giants’ prospects and after he missed out on a full Double-A season, the organization is especially eager to watch him alongside big leaguers during camp. Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said it’s possible the Puerto Rico native would be in contention for a major league job this spring if he had played a full 2020 minor league season, but Haines said he believes Ramos still took a step forward in taking reps at the team’s alternate site and during instructional league play in the fall. “People forget how young he is and the expectations go through the roof,” Haines said of the 21-year-old Ramos. “It’s like, ‘Why is he not in the major leagues’ and you have to tell people, ‘He’s got like 90 at-bats out of A-ball’ and that was even tough for Buster Posey.’” Aside from the starting pitching prospects in camp – Hjelle, Tristan See Giants, Page A14

Tribune Content Agency MESA — The A’s have announced starters for the first four Cactus League games. And none will come from the big league rotation. But most could comprise the Triple-A Las Vegas rotation for the 2021 season. M anager B ob Melvin announced righthanded pitcher Daulton Jefferies will start the Oakland A’s Cactus League opener on Sunday a f ter noon against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Hohokam. Jefferies, 25, is the A’s seventh-ranked pitching prospect, according to MLB.com’s prospect list. He made his Major League debut in 2020, allowing five runs over two innings against the Texas Rangers. Jefferies has strong command and walked just nine batters with 93 strike-

outs in 79 innings as a starter with the Midland Rockhounds and Stockton Ports in 2019. Jefferies’ honed in on his confidence over the offseason, proving to himself after a rough debut that he belonged in the big leagues. That also mean working on differentiating his changeup – which was flat against the Rangers – from his fastball. Grant Holmes and Parker Dunshee will get starts in the A’s next games against the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers. Holmes, another promising arm in the A’s system, participated in the A’s alternate site in San Jose last summer and ill play in his first organized game since 2019. Holmes, 24, had a 3.65 ERA with 28 walks and 81 strikeouts with See A’s, Page A11

At UCLA, he was known as “ Chosen Rosen.” But 49ers quarterback Josh Rosen hasn’t been a savior in the NFL. Instead, teams have chosen to trade him (Cardinals), waive him (Dolphins) and leave him unprotected on their practice squad (Buccaneers), all before his 24th birthday. Rosen, the No. 10 pick in 2018, is hardly the only highly drafted QB to struggle at the next level. But few others have become so well-traveled so quickly. Three teams have already evaluated Rosen and concluded after a season or less that he wouldn’t realize his draftday potential. Rosen ranks last in completion percentage (54.8), yards per attempt (5.7) and passer rating (63.5) among the 42 QBs who have thrown at least 500 passes since 2018, “To me, there are a lot of questions based on what I’ve seen and the fact the that he continues to bounce around,” said Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, an NFL Network analyst who has closely followed Rosen’s career. “A guy that continues to bounce around, most times you say, ‘OK, enough coaches have seen him and this is probably going to be just what he is.’” Rosen’s fourth team, the 49ers, who signed him off Tampa Bay’s practice squad in December, have determined he’s worth a closer look. They signed Rosen to a one-year extension for a veteranminimum $850,000 salary on Feb. 8, a contract that’s a nod to his precipitous fall. Given his career trajectory, it’s possible Rosen won’t make the seasonopening roster. However, his elite arm, college pedigree and head coach Kyle Shanahan’s QB-friendly system suggest it’s plausible that he could occupy a backup spot for the 49ers, who aren’t expected to retain free-agent reserve QBs Nick Mullens and C.J. Beathard. This week, general manager John Lynch indicated the 49ers’ plan was to retain injury plagued starter Jimmy Garoppolo and upgrade the

Could Rosen be part of the 49ers’ bolstered insurance plan? Warner is a good person to ask. The twotime NFL MVP finished his career with Arizona, has remained in the area and closely evaluated Rosen’s rookie season with the Cardinals, when he made 13 of his 16 career starts. Warner’s assessment: Rosen has struggled largely because of his inability to quickly process information on the field. That is, Rosen has had difficulty working through his progressions – locating his second or third pass-catching option, for example, if his primary option isn’t open – and understanding where to deliver the ball based on defensive coverages. Rosen has also too often missed “layups,” situations in which he didn’t complete an easy throw or make a simple read. Rosen’s issues are particularly troubling, Warner said, because the ability to process information and throw with precision typically don’t improve dramatically in the NFL. Rosen completed 60.9% of his passes at UCLA, never ranking higher

than sixth in the Pac-12 in that category. “That’s always a concern to me,” Warner said. “You talk about accuracy and very seldom do you see a guy that’s not very accurate in college become really accurate in the NFL . . . And you don’t see a lot of guys that just get better and better at processing information. Either you understand that, and you can see it and your eyes go to the right place or they don’t. “And if they don’t, it becomes a constant struggle to try to play the game and find the open guy, right? We always talk about that: ‘Throw it to the open guy.’ Well, if you don’t know what you’re doing with your eyes and you don’t know what you’re reading, it’s really, really hard to figure out who’s going to be open and do it in a timely fashion. So that’s something that I worry about. I just haven’t seen a lot of guy that get tremendously better in those areas.” Warner’s assessment explains why teams have moved on quickly from Rosen, who turned 24 on Feb. 10. The Cardinals, who traded a third- and fifthround pick to move up five spots to draft Rosen

at No. 10 in 2018, selected QB Kyler Murray with the No. 1 pick in 2019 and traded Rosen to the Dolphins. And Miami, which dealt a second- and fifthround pick to acquire him, benched Rosen after he made three starts in 2019 before waiving him before the 2020 season. “You don’t hit on every player,” Dolphins head coach Brian Floes said at the time. “On every trade. On every draft pick . . . It didn’t work out. We’ve moved on from Josh. And we’ll leave it at that.” Finally, Tampa Bay, led by head coach Bruce Arians, a widely respected QB guru, signed Rosen to the practice squad. That made Rosen the fourth QB on the Buccaneers depth chart behind Tom Brady, Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Griffin, 31, an undrafted journeyman with four career pass attempts. Warner didn’t rule out Rosen having more success in Shanahan’s system, which incorporates play-action passing built off an effective running game to create defined reads for QBs. He noted a strong playaction game has benefited Titans QB Ryan Tannehill, the No. 8 pick See Rosen, Page A14

CNN: Trump considers forming Super PAC Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump is considering creating a super PAC, CNN reported citing Trump spokesman Jason Miller. In filings with the Federal Election Commission, Trump also converted his presidential campaign committee and

his leadership PAC into two political action committees that can support other candidates for office. His campaign committee has become the Make America Great Again PAC. Miller said the new committees are linked by a joint fundraising agreement that would “make fundraising more efficient.”

pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson, Nov. 17, 2020. The FDA approved the J&J vaccine, Saturday.

Shot: On track to supply 20M doses From Page One out that could cause further disease – and stopping it,” said Jay Portnoy, director of the division of allergy, asthma and immunology at Children’s Mercy Hospital, who supported an emergency authorization. “We need to get this vaccine out.” The clearance marks another milestone in an unprecedented global scientific sprint. Since the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a pandemic nearly a year ago, numerous vaccines have been deployed around the world, including shots developed in China and Russia. Worldwide, more than 231 million doses have been administered in 100 countries, according to data collected by Bloomberg. J&J’s shot is expected to be easier to distribute and administer than the Pfizer Inc.-BioNTech SE vaccine and the Moderna Inc. shot that were cleared by the FDA late last year. To reach full effectiveness, the earlier shots require two doses several weeks apart. They must also must be kept at very cold temperatures, while J&J’s doses can be stored in a refrigerator for long periods. Its simplicity could make J&J’s shot especially beneficial for hard-toreach rural areas that have seen higher rates of virus cases and deaths. The authorization comes as the inoculation drive in the U.S. has accelerated, with more than 70.5 million doses given as of Friday, according to Bloomberg’s Vaccine Tracker. At the same time, the rise of new coronavirus variants has increased the urgency to get more people vaccinated. New fast-spreading mutations first reported in the U.K., South Africa and Brazil have appeared

in the U.S., while domestic variants spotted in California and New York are raising new concerns among some scientists. J&J is on track to supply 20 million doses to the U.S. by the end of March, and 100 million by the end of June, an executive said at a congressional hearing on Feb. 23. Globally, J&J expects to produce 1 billion doses this year. Regulators in the European Union could clear the shot in early March. J&J’s shot is unlikely to be the last to come available in the U.S. Both Astrazeneca Plc and Novavax Inc. are expected to seek authorization in the coming months for their vaccines, pending results of big U.S. trials that are now fully enrolled. J&J’s vaccine is made from a common cold virus that doesn’t replicate in the body but triggers an immune response to fight off infection. In the U.S. portion of a more than 43,000-person global trial, it was found to be 72% effective at preventing moderate to severe Covid. That is a lower overall efficacy rate than the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, which are based on technology called messenger RNA that primes the body to ward off the virus. Each of those was found to be more than 90% effective. Still, all three shots are extremely reliable at preventing hospitalizations and deaths. And J&J’s does that quickly, with protection against severe disease starting only seven days after vaccination, and ramping up over the course of about two months. Public-health officials hope that as more people get them, they will greatly reduce the strain the pandemic has placed on the health care system. Already, more people in the U.S. have received at least one vaccine dose

than have tested positive for the virus. The FDA prescribing document for J&J’s vaccine said not to give it to individuals with a known history of severe allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, and that sites giving the shots must have treatments for managing such reactions. The same protocols are in place for the shots from Pfizer and Moderna. The most commonly reported side effects were pain at the injection site, headache, fatigue, muscle aches and nausea. Most were mild to moderate in severity and lasted one to two days. Policy makers are eager to get more people immunized before virus mutations can take firmer hold in the U.S. J&J’s vaccine provided less protection against the new variants, trial data suggested. In Brazil, the shot was 68% effective against moderate-to-severe disease 28 days after vaccination, while in South Africa it was 64% effective. But across the globe, including in countries with emerging variants, the shot successfully prevented all hospitalizations and deaths. Mathai Mammen, the head of global research and development for J&J’s pharmaceutical division, said in an interview last month that it’s impossible to compare overall efficacy levels between the vaccines, given that the trials were carried out in different locations at different times in the course of the pandemic. “What people fear is getting sick, so sick they have to go to an emergency room, or hospital, and even die,” he said “This vaccine, in a single shot, protects completely from that kind of fear.” J&J is still testing a two-shot regimen in a large, global trial that is expected to produce

results before year-end. Like Pfizer and Moderna, the company is working on boosters tailored to the variants. And it plans studies soon in children, pregnant women and the immunocompromised. J&J executives have said the company will charge no more than $10 a dose for the vaccine during the pandemic – a price at which it won’t profit. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine costs the U.S. $39 for the full regimen, and the Moderna vaccine costs $33 for both doses. New Brunswick, New Jersey-based J&J has spent more than a century combating infectious diseases. It created the so-called Epidemic Mask to prevent the spread of the 1918 Spanish Flu, and developed an Ebola vaccine that was approved in Europe in 2020. Its Covid-19 vaccine uses the same adenovirus platform that is the basis of the Ebola shot. The company collaborated on its development with researchers from Harvard University and U.S. health agencies, including the Biomedical Advance Research and Development Authority and the National Institutes of Health. Like the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna shots, J&J’s vaccine was one of six that was selected by the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed program, receiving $1.5 billion in backing from the U.S. government, which has options to acquire additional supply. J&J Chief Scientific Officer Paul Stoffels said he hopes it’s another hundred years before another pandemic sweeps the world, but realistically, the U.S. should have a heightened alert that it could happen at any time. “A whole new field of science and pandemic preparedness is needed,” Stoffels said.

Biden: Dems abandon bipartisan effort From Page One

moving again.” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a two-part tweet that the stimulus bill “ensures that people make it to the other side of this pandemic and are met there by a strong, growing economy.” Biden said he’d called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moments earlier to praise “her extraordinary leadership” after the measure narrowly passed the House Saturday morning. The House voted 219-212 to pass the bill, a sharp break from previous aid packages that had drawn wide bipartisan support. No Republican in the House voted for it, and no Republican senators are expected to either. Two House Democrats also voted against it. To pass the Senate, Biden needs to either woo Republican support or avoid losing a single Democratic vote. Democrats have all but abandoned efforts to pass a bipartisan package, accusing Repub-

licans of balking at the price tag while Republicans say Biden’s bill goes well beyond pandemicrelated measures. GOP Rep. Devin Nunes on Saturday called Biden’s stimulus plan a “slush fund” for Democrats to use over the next four years. “They’re going to be able to get the 50 votes, they’re going to buy the votes,” the California lawmaker said at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida. On Thursday, Sen. Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, said Democrats “are exploiting a crisis to make us pay for their pet projects.” Pelosi br u shed off those sentiments, describing the plan in a letter to colleagues as “coronavirus-centric.” To Biden’s point about popular support, a Quinnipiac University poll taken Jan. 28-Feb. 1 showed nearly seven in 10 Americans supported the stimulus plan against 24% who opposed it. Most Democrats, 68% of independents and 47% of

Republicans approved. The legislation would provide $1,400 direct payments to taxpayers making as much as $75,000 individually or $150,000 per couple. It also includes new funding for vaccinations and testing. The president has said he believes the risk facing the U.S. is not that they overdo it, but that they don’t do enough and become trapped in a cycle of sluggish growth coming out of the coronavirus crisis, similar to the outcome of the 2008-09 recession. Several business groups have called on Congress to approve Biden’s package or a version of it. Yellen, a former Federal Reserve chair, said recently that a robust recovery plan could make the difference between the U.S. returning to full employment next year, or struggling until 2025 for a labor-market recovery. A nonpartisan official said Thursday the package can’t move forward with its provision to phase in a $15 an hour minimum wage. That ruling sent Democrats looking for

ways to work around Senate rules governing the fast-track budget process they’re using to pass the stimulus plan without Republican votes. Biden on Saturday didn’t address the minimum wage issue or an initiative in the Senate to place a tax penalty on big companies as a way of forcing them to pay higher wages. Pelosi in her letter said “the House will continue our Fight for 15.” “We will seek a solution consistent with the Senate rules, and we will do so as soon as possible,” Pelosi said. “Updates will be ongoing.” Two Senate committee chairs, Ron Wyden and Bernie Sanders, pitched the idea of a tax penalty Thursday night. White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday said the administration didn’t yet have a position on the proposals. A target deadline looms for Biden: Millions of people are set to lose supplemental unemployment benefits on March 14, when a previous round of virus stimulus expires.

SCC: New softball coach ready to start From Page A10 our campus leadership.” Just what the Bay Valley Conference will look like isn’t known at this point. Who’s in and who’s out will determine what schedules look like. “Everybody has to send in their declaration to CCCAA,” Visser said. “I don’t know 100% but know Napa opted in, Marin opted in, Mendocino and Yuba and Laney have opted in. I think Los Medanos has opted in partially. . . . I think on Monday or Tuesday the athletic directors in the BVC will see who’s opted in, who’s opted out. Based on that we’ll craft schedules.” A primary concern

is travel, especially to schools that are several counties away. For example, Solano would have to travel through Napa and Sonoma counties to get to Mendocino of Ukiah, through Yolo and Sacramento counties to get to Yuba of Marysville. “It’s definitely something in the last couple weeks we’ve been preparing for, one of the discussion points,” Visser said. “What if in different counties there are different colors (of tiers), different protocols? If April 10, the first official game day, if counties are different colors, different protocols, we’ll take that into account.” One who’s had an

to this point, Sigl knows the 2021 season will be unlike any other. “This season will be very different,” the coach said. “We have daily Covid protocols that we must follow, which will be very interesting for practices. We also will be only doing a 70% season with no playoffs. We plan to play conference games and community colleges close to us. We will be limiting travel as much as possible. “There will also be no fans in the stands, but we will do our best to stream all games. Like I mentioned before, health and safety is most important so we will be following all protocols to a T.”

intense interest in seeing spring sports start is Taryn Sigl, Solano’s new softball coach. “I am so excited and happy about this season starting,” said Sigl, the replacement for Nikki Gentile who took over as head coach at Academy of Art in San Francisco. “We, as a coaching staff and team, have been working very hard and preparing for this moment. We do Zooms almost every day to prepare us mentally and physically for the start of 2021 season. When I first heard the news, I had tears of happiness because I know how important softball is for these girls.” And while things have been anything but normal

W’s: Tough stretch From Page A10 have a pretty good sense of exactly who we, are and what we need to do to continue to improve. The next three games (before the break) will be a difficult stretch, particularly the back-toback in Portland and Phoenix.

“All three teams we’re facing are playoff teams, really good teams, so we just have to continue to do the things that have put us in the position we’re in right now, which are defending at a really high level, sharing the ball and creating some flow offensively.”

Rosen: Doubters From Page A11 in 2012 whose career took off after the Dolphins traded him in 2019. Still, Tannehill had far more success in his first seven seasons with Miami than Rosen has had during his four-team, three-season whirlwind. With the 49ers, Rosen is yet at another early career crossroads. And he could face the end of the

road if it’s not navigated far better than it was in his first three stops. “What we saw in college hasn’t transferred to the NFL,” Warner said. “And it hasn’t transferred in a number of places. He’s had a number of opportunities and it just doesn’t seem to be translating to the NFL game. So you start to wonder, maybe he just doesn’t have that skillset.”

‘Superman & Lois’ are normal parents in new CW series Tribune Content Agency What do two teenage boys call the world’s greatest hero and the world’s greatest journalist? Mom and Dad. The CW’s newest superhero show, “Superman & Lois,” which premiered Tuesday, asks just how much parenthood has changed the Metropolis couple, if at all. For Elizabeth Tulloch, Lois Lane to Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman, the failures are often more interesting than the successes. “Part of what makes them interesting is we’ve seen a lot of versions of them where they’re perfect,” the 40-yearold actress told the Daily News. “Now you’re seeing them failing and struggling and messing up.” Lois and Clark are far from the perfect parents of twin boys that they would like to be. One twin, Jonathan (Jordan Elsass), has grown into a jock who relentlessly picks on his anxiety-riddled brother Jordan (Alexander Garfin). While Jonathan has risen to high school fame and glory, Jordan has receded in the shadows as a bystander. Thinking they were protecting their chil-

Coincidentally, their take mirrors the recent “Judas and the Black Messiah,” with the FBI convincing a Black man to infiltrate the circle of a famous Black person in order to destroy them and their fight for social justice. The idea here is that “Strange Fruit,” the song about lynching written by Abel Meeropol but made legendary by Holiday, was not just a devastating cabaret showstopper but its references to “Black bodies swingin’ in the Southern breeze” helped launch a movement. Overstating the case? Possibly, but “United States” is convincing, particularly in its depiction of Holiday’s devotion to a song that the government and club promoters repeatedly try to prevent her from singing. The trouble with “United

It becomes untenable. “What’s setting our show apart is there’s so much emphasis on the family and the foursome,” Tulloch told The News. “They’re hiding their secrets from the boys, then the boys have to hide their secret from other people. We’re not just focusing on the romance of Lois and Clark. They know they need to prioritize their sons.” The show, the seventh

series to join the CW’s Arrowverse, propels Lois and Clark into their futures, past the awkward flirtations in the newsroom and joy of new love. They have now settled into patterns, and superpowers are painted as a fun fact for the couple rather than the basis for a relationship. At home, it ’s Clark and Lois. “Even though Superman is Superman, she is his equal,” Tulloch said. “They’re built on a foundation of mutual respect and admiration.” “Superman & Lois” – and the Kents – move to Smallville, a once idyllic

States” is that the FBI plot forces the movie to spend too much time with Jimmy Fletcher (Trevante Rhodes, from “Moonlight”) and with a cartoonishly clueless radio interviewer (Leslie Jordan), whose scenes cannot possibly hold up to Holiday’s. It’s like one of those hits where a superstar like Beyonce or Kelis sings the hook and it’s all you want to hear but you have to listen to the boring verses to get there. Day may not be a superstar yet, but her commitment to the role is impressive; it can’t have been fun stepping into the mind of a troubled woman who, according to the movie, spends all her offstage time either sobbing, yelling or shooting up. Her singing sounds very much like Holiday but retains its own personality, rather than feeling imitative. Holiday’s reputed wit is not in the script and Day can’t capture that, but she convincingly evokes the passion and raw abandon of the singer who died at 44, broke and with the

police harassing her all the way to her deathbed. Subtlety has never interested Daniels, whose “The Paperboy” famously includes a scene in which Nicole Kidman pees on Zac Efron. Here, he goes nuts with the drug trips, which sometimes take one character into a flashback of another character, but the movie’s mood swings suit the material, with its protagonist careening all over the place. Parks’ dialogue is too on-the-nose – it’s a movie set in the past where people often seem to know the future – but her affection for Holiday is evident throughout. The filmmakers’ sharpest insight has to do with “Strange Fruit.” “People are calling the song a starting gun for a so-called civil rights movement” is one of those on-the-nose lines, but it also happens to be true. And as the movie’s title cards note, the U.S. government has had numerous opportunities to condemn lynching and has failed to do so as recently as last June.

Lois isn’t so sure. “She initially assumes everyone is going to see her side of things but they view her as an outsider who doesn’t understand their struggles,” Tulloch told The News. “They say, ‘we just need work. We need to put food on the table. We don’t care if the person is corrupt or evil.’” Figuring out how to relate to Smallville is part of Lois’ learning curve – because even when she faces opposition, she knows she’s right. “This is Lois Lane. She wants to save the world with words,” Tulloch said. “What could be more hopeful than believing that all the world needs to change is to hear the truth?” That’s the point of “Superman & Lois”: hope.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, February 28, 2021 B3

Lady Gaga’s grandma ‘praying’ for dog walker Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — Lady Gaga’s grandmother says she’s praying for the dog walker shot while valiantly trying to stop armed robbers from stealing the singer’s beloved French bulldogs. “It’s a cruel world we’re living in,” Angeline Germanotta told the Daily News Thursday. “I’m praying this young man recovers, and I hope the dogs are found safe and in good health,” she said. “The family is devastated,” she continued. “It’s very, very sad that we’re living in a world where this can happen.” The 90-year-old grandmother spoke out after the dog walker, identified as Ryan Fischer, was shot once and critically injured while walking Gaga’s three French bulldogs – Koji, Gustav and Miss Asia – on N. Sierra Bonita Ave. in Hollywood at around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday. Dramatic footage of the brazen sidewalk attack was captured on surveillance video obtained by TMZ. It shows Fischer refusing to hand over the dogs and screaming for help before one of the robbers shot him at close range. The thieves then grabbed Koji and Gustav, jumped back in their white sedan and sped away. “We’re all so upset because the dogs are two trusting animals, and why would anyone want to do something like this and seriously hurt that young man? It’s awful,” Angeline told The News. “I’m always devastated by anything bad that happens to my granddaughter. She’s a very unique and wonderful

She cares a great deal about all her animals,” she said. “We are all in shock and obviously devastated over this,” Gaga’s dad Joseph Germanotta added Thursday. He said his famous daughter is in Italy filming a movie and worried sick about both her dog walker and beloved pets. “I’ve heard he’s in intensive care,” he said of Fischer. Fischer, who previously lived in New York, posted a photo on Instagram last week showing the three famous dogs in his care. “That street isn’t known for shootings,” so there’s a suspicion the incident may have been “targeted,” with the suspects aware of who owned the canines, one police source said. “Prayers for my dear friend Ryan Fischer as he recovers from gunshot wounds to the chest in LA. Grateful he is well enough to text me - which stopped my hysterical crying,” pal Justin Vivian Bond said in a Facebook post.

Family’s the best – and worst – in Netflix’s new drama ‘Ginny & Georgia’ Tribune Content Agency The “Gilmore Girls” comparison is an easy one for “Ginny & Georgia”: a young mother and her teenage daughter, fighting together against everything the world throws at them. But where Rory and Lorelai faced a coffee shortage and prying grandparents, the eponymous heroines of Netflix’s new series, released Wednesday, have bigger fish to fry, from sexual identity to coded racism. The 30 -year- old Georgia, played by Brianne Howey, is as flighty as she is motivated; at the first sign of trouble, she leaves, uprooting 15-year-old daughter Ginny and younger son Austin and starting over in a new place. When we meet them, they’re on their way to a small town in Massachusetts with Stars Hollow vibes and, she promises, a fresh start. “She’s this larger than life character,” Howey, 31, told the Daily News. “She consumes all of the oxygen in the room. She’s

bold and confident and calculating. But I wanted to make sure that I also kept her grounded and find as much relatability in her as I could, for a woman who is trying to fight so, so hard to keep it together and not show any cracks.” As the season unravels, so too do Georgia’s secrets, some meant to protect herself, some meant to protect her children. For her angsty teenage daughter, Georgia’s secrets feel like treachery. “Transparency is important but in the right context,” 24-year-old Antonia Gentry, who plays Ginny, told The News. “She doesn’t realize how big of a secret, or secrets plural, that Georgia really has. Some things are just really really hard to discuss, but at the same time, you don’t want there to be a barrier or a boundary in the relationship with your child or with your mother. You want to be able to confide in each other. Finding that balance and finding that trust is really what the show explores.” Georgia, almost immediately, has no problem

fitting into the idyllic town. Ginny struggles more, in the ways that a teenager never feels like they fit in and in the more specific ways that the daughter of a single white mom and a mostly absent Black dad surrounded by upper middle class kids who experiment with drugs and alcohol and sex doesn’t ft in. Across the street, two siblings gravitate toward Ginny: Maxine, a wild child who thrives on attention and chaos, and Marcus, who sulks and mopes and mumbles his way through life. “I think there’s a sense of boredom and a sense of almost nihilism in the way he conducts himself, but it’s because he has so many masks and so many barriers that I think a lot of young men build up,” Australian actor Felix Mallard, who plays Marcus, told The News. “I love that the show explores that. It explores what happens when young men are forced to break down those barriers, forced to take accountability, forced to actually live up to their

own expectations.” “Ginny & Georgia” has warmth and laughter and late night dance parties, but its appeal, Howey said, is in the common fears shared by its characters and its viewers. The fears about growing up and the fears of watching your children grow up. The fears that what you’re doing isn’t enough. The fears that no one at school likes you. The fears that secrets will ruin everything. “Georgia has to be good cop and bad cop at the same time as a single mom,” Howey told The News. “Because they’re so close in age, from Ginny’s point of view, she does know everything about Georgia. Ginny had to grow up really fast because Georgia exposed her to everything. I think that’s why it feels like even more of a betrayal.

‘Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ star Pickup dead Tribune Content Agency Ronald Pickup, the renowned British stage actor, who starred in the successful films “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” and “Darkest Hour,” has died at the age of 80.

Barbara Wright, 59, a teacher and Lyft driver who lives in Englewood on Chicago’s South Side, received a $1,085 forgivable PPP loan last summer. Battling breast cancer and unable to drive during the pandemic, she reapplied

for a PPP loan during the relaunched program in January, and is now eligible to receive $6,336 after the Biden administration announced more favorable relief for sole proprietors.

PPP changes helping small minorityowned businesses land loans:

‘I’m glad somebody saw the light’ Tribune Content Agency When President Joe Biden announced changes this week to the Paycheck Protection Program designed to provide more equitable relief to smaller and minority-owned businesses, the benefits quickly made a difference for Barbara Wright. A high school teacher whose $30,000-a-year side gig as a Lyft driver was stalled by the pandemic, Wright learned Tuesday she was now eligible for a $6,336 forgivable PPP loan – a nearly sixfold increase over the $1,085shereceivedthrough the program last year. “I’m glad somebody saw the light somewhere,” said Wright, 59, who lives in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. “I’m not ungrateful, but the $1,000 didn’t go very far.” The changes are already boosting loan amounts and participation in the forgivable loan program among Chicago’s minority-owned small businesses and sole proprietors, many of whom were shut out by the program last year. A pause in processing “larger” small-business applications may help get the ball rolling. For two weeks beginning Wednesday, only businesses with fewer than 20 employees can apply for PPP loans, encouraging banks to focus exclusively on the smallest businesses, which have been some of the hardest hit during the pandemic. During the first week of March, a revision of the funding formula for sole proprietors, independent contractors and self-employed people will offer more relief, with $1 billion set aside for businesses without employees in low- and moderate-income areas. About 70% of nonemployer firms are owned by women and people of color, according to the Small Business Administration, which launched the PPP in April as an

Today’s birthday You know what it’s like to love big and imperfectly, and how wonderful to feel the other side of such adoration this year. You’ve a talent for interpreting and adjusting to the way others communicate. For this, you’ll be handsomely rewarded. You’ll be included in astounding projects and wins. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 14, 38, 11 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Being on a quest certainly brings a high, though not all quests are created equal. Who is the mission really helping? The potential for momentum increases with each person helped. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remember when they tried to make you believe their misbehavior was your responsibility? It’s almost comical to you now. Almost – but not quite. The point is that you’re free. Enjoy and protect this freedom. It was hard-earned. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When was the last time you spent hours on end not demanding anything from yourself? Such time to yourself is a rarity that, funnily enough, only happens when you schedule it. What’s stopping you from putting it on the books? CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s not the new activities that are prone to error; it’s the things you’ve done a thousand times. But you can avoid inconveniences of lost keys and the like by double-checking the easy stuff. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll enjoy a few of your favorite things: the smell of a certain spice, the sound of giggles or the soft breathing of one who naps in a warm pool of sun as your heart bubbles over with satisfaction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Dealing with the people you already know is less work than opening your emotional doors to the untested newbies. However, right now, you’ll be missing out if you don’t give a stranger a chance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t feel like you have to be the smartest person in the room. In fact, you prefer a room you can’t dominate like that. Picking the right (read: challenging) room in the first place – that’s what makes you smart. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are adapting to the current circumstances and making the next logical move. Perhaps it seems obvious to you, but those observing find you wondrously original. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Comedians are often funny because their jokes make us aware of what would normally be automatic, nonchalant action. You’ll be a bit of a comedian today, observing the ordinary in a new light. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You think different things in the vicinity of different people. That certain dazzling person though – that one doesn’t even have to be around to elicit your shiniest thoughts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s a time to ask why? a time to ask why not? and a time not to ask anything at all. Questions are openings. When there’s an abundance, close the gate and sort what you’ve already got. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When rejection is a possibility, most people are risk-averse to a degree. But since you’ve had such a variety of results from putting yourself on the line, you’ve become socially adventurous. That pays off today.

While eating disorders can develop at any age, they most often manifest in teen and young adult years.

How healthy is your relationship with food? Sally Wyatt

special to the daily republic

near-year of Covid-19-induced quarantining and lack of exercise may have added some inches and pounds to your waistline, which is to be expected. But, might you or a loved one have acquired an unhealthy relationship with food, as well? The last week in February marks Eating Disorder and Screening Awareness Month, a time to take a closer look at those potentially persistent eating behaviors that could negatively impact one’s health, emotions and ability to function in important areas of life. Although “eating” is in the name, these disorders go beyond food. They form complex mental health conditions that may require the attention of medical and psychological experts. People with eating disorders tend to focus on weight, body shape and food. The most common conditions are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder, according to the Mayo Clinic. They include the severe restriction of food, food binges or purging behaviors such as vomiting or over-exercising. These behaviors can become dangerous enough to affect the body’s ability to get appropriate nutrition, which can ultimately harm the heart, digestive system, bones, teeth and mouth, and lead to other diseases. Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, aka ARFID, is another ailment. This causes people to undereat; it can develop during infancy

for your health or early childhood and even persist into adulthood. People with ARFID have a lack of interest in food or an intense distaste for how certain foods look or smell, or the food’s temperature or taste. Those with this disorder also avoid eating with others. It is important to note that this condition is much more serious than just being a picky eater. While eating disorders can develop at any age, they most often manifest in teen and young adult years. In the United States alone, an estimated 20 million women and 10 million men have or have had an eating disorder at some point in their life. Experts believe that they may be caused by a variety of factors, including cultural ideals, genetics and personality traits such as neuroticism, perfectionism and impulsivity. Surveys show depression is also often a factor, and a year of Covidinduced quarantine has definitely affected many people. As many as half of all patients diagnosed with binge eating disorder have a history of depression, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Binge eating afflicts 3% of adults in the United States, making it the most common affliction. In a 2008 study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, for example, 24% of bipolar patients met the criteria for eating disorders. An eating disorder can be difficult to manage or overcome by your-

self, according to the Mayo Clinic, because it can quite literally take over one’s life. Be alert for eating patterns and beliefs that may signal unhealthy behavior, as well as peer pressure. Red flags include skipping meals or making excuses for not eating; adopting an overly restrictive vegetarian diet; an excessive focus on healthy eating; making individual meals rather than eating what the family eats; withdrawing from normal social activities; persistent concerns or complaints about being fat and talk of losing weight; frequent checking in the mirror for perceived flaws; repeatedly eating large amounts of sweets or high-fat foods; use of dietary supplements, laxatives or herbal products for weight loss; excessive exercise; eating much more food in a meal or snack than is considered normal; leaving the table to use the bathroom; expressing depression, disgust, shame or guilt about eating habits; and eating in secret. Unfortunately, many people struggling with these disorders may not think they need treatment. If you think you or a loved one could have an eating disorder, talk to a doctor. If a loved one isn’t willing to acknowledge an eating disorder, try to open the door by expressing concern and a desire to listen. If you’re worried that your child may have an issue with food, contact your child’s medical provider to discuss your concerns. Sally Wyatt is a public relations coordinator for NorthBay Healthcare.

Portraits honor children lost to gun violence

Murray Bass Plan to live

Life doesn’t allow us to ‘stay the same’

t seems to me like I have written this column a number of times in the past. Different facts, but the same ideas. Adapt, adapt, adapt. When you get old, most of life is about adapting to changes. It is human to want to keep on doing things how we have always done them. I’m no different in that regard. If we want to be productive – live a vital life – we have to be able to try something different when new problems get in the way. Right now I am trying to adapt to changes in my ability to see. Here is my current sight dilemma: The light in my reading machine has burned out. A reading machine will magnify printed material 20 times or more. I keep pressing the “on” button but nothing happens. The 3.5 power reading glasses I have been using just don’t work at all. So, how to adapt? First, I have ordered a replacement bulb for my reading machine. In the meantime, I am trying to find a source for 6.0 to 8.0 power reading glasses. Also, I have asked my daughter Cathy to get me a goose-neck lamp to read by. Much more intense light to read by will help. And I am using the ZoomText program on my computer to read to me the materials that are on the internet. All of that is a start. I think when it all comes together, I will be OK. This is just an example of what’s going on now. Being willing to adapt can make a big difference in embracing many activities. I am trying to help the CAVA schools get some reading materials for preschool-age kids of parents whose older kids are enrolled in a CAVA school. The Kaiser Foundation is a very generous supporter of education in California. Cathy has received grants for good causes from Kaiser. When I was younger and could see, I asked for and received grants for my Tools of Learning for Children nonprofit. Cathy gave me a link to the Napa Solano Kaiser Foundation grant program. The beneficiary for the preschool funding grant is headquartered in Simi Valley. That’s in Ventura County in Southern California. I contacted the Kaiser Southern California Grant program. Then Cathy had the best “adapt” idea yet. Have CAVA ask for the grant from Kaiser’s Southern California grant program. They will be more likely to get it than a Northern California nonprofit. Plus, a relationship would be established for future needs. We’ll see what happens. The Ventura County First Five program is an alternative. Adapt, adapt, adapt. The whole idea behind this column is to show everyone that making changes to correspond to life’s changes can be really productive. It certainly has been for me. Life doesn’t allow us to “stay the same” forever. As our kids grow up, every day can be a day of new challenges. Murray Bass of Fairfield can be reached at 720-5139 or mzb602@gmail.com.

Tribune Content Agency ST. LOUIS — Artists who work with the nonprofit group Faces Not Forgotten all receive the same advice: Focus on the eyes. It was more than 10 years ago that Christine Ilewski founded the St. Louis-area organization that creates hand-painted portraits for families that have lost children to gun violence. Artists have completed more than 300 portraits of those killed across the country, including more than 60 from St. Louis, most age 20 and younger. “It’s the eyes where you get the emotion,” said Ilewski, a college art instructor who lives in Alton. “That’s where you can connect that this was someone who had so many years in front of them. They were going to have families, go to college, start careers.” The demand for portraits by Faces Not Forgotten won’t likely wane, as over the past year gun violence has surged in large cities nationwide. In St. Louis alone, there have been 22 victims of homicide since January 2020 who were 17 years old or younger. “The numbers are staggering,” Ilewski said. The portraits aim to give those lives the attention they deserve, she said. “Historically portraits have been reserved for people like kings, dignitaries and bank presidents,” she said. “To do a formal portrait, we think it elevates a life. It gives it the respect and value it deserves. It says, this life matters. Each child has a name and a life and a personality and a soul that is gone.” Skyla Pawnell keeps the Faces Not Forgotten portrait of her son, Aaron Prayer, in her East St. Louis living room. Prayer was 21 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting outside the Alpha Plaza apartment complex in that city in June 2018. Pawnell said she was told after her son’s death that he had helped get a nearby toddler out of harm’s way as he was hit. Prayer had a daughter who is now 5, his mother said. His death has never been solved, but Pawnell said that it was a meaningful portrait of her son, who she said played several sports in high school and was considered a “pretty boy.” “After you lose a child, you have to always cherish your loved one and keep their name alive,” she said. “But here there’s someone else who’s spending all this time cherishing them, too, putting all this work into a painting.” Soon after her son’s death, Pawnell started a group for the families of victims, Families

LEFT: Skyla Pawnell, left, and her grandchildren, from left, Lyric Jenkins, 2 months-old, Ka’marri Dorris, 2, Tristan Jenkins, 3, and Eric Jenkins, 6, pose for a portrait at Pawnell’s home in Centerville, Mo., Feb. 19.

Against Gun Violence, and recommended Faces Not Forgotten to about a half-dozen others who lost children in shootings. In St. Louis, another mother, Valerie Dent, was gifted portraits of her sons, James and Steven Dent, ages 34 and 25. They were shot while coming home from work Sept. 4, 2014, not far from their mother’s home in the city’s West End neighborhood. Dent remembers the day she picked up the portraits at a meet-up with Ilewski in Forest Park, about a year after her sons died. “It was breathtaking,” she said. “I still get teary eyed when I think of it.” She hung the paintings near the entry in her home, and gave a copy of James Dent’s portrait to his son as a way to remember his father. Dent now heads STL Mothers in Charge and has recommended at least six other mothers to the organization. “It’s so much more personal, more meaningful than a photograph,” she said.

Faces Not Forgotten never reaches out to families directly, but counts on mothers like Pawnell and Dent to spread the word. Families may submit a request for a portrait online. When they’re approved, families are matched with an artist who may live elsewhere in the country or even abroad. Volunteer painters have included art students at North Park University in Chicago and Central Visual & Performing Arts High School in St. Louis. “I check out the artist’s work to make sure they are capable,” Ilewski said. “We’re all volunteers, we just provide artists with a small stipend to cover their supplies.” Ilewski started Faces Not Forgotten as a way to cope with her own grief, she said. A close family friend, the Rev. Lawrence Rosebaugh, was murdered in 2009 in Guatemala when he and a group of priests were attacked by masked men. He was living in the country to work with elderly homeless people and children with HIV.

“Just before he died I had been emailing him about children in Guatemala being killed,” Ilewski said. “So after his death I thought focusing on bringing attention to violence against children would be a way to honor him.” Ilewski completed the first Faces Not Forgotten portrait after hearing about 16-year-old William Jenkins, who was killed while working at a fast-food restaurant in 1997 in Virginia. She used to paint all the portraits herself, but eventually expanded the effort, though every painting remains focused on the person’s face surrounded by flowers similar to a funeral wreath. The families receive the original painting and then the nonprofit creates high-quality copies on fabric squares that are made into quilts of eight faces. The quilts have been featured in art exhibits around the country. The organization has also made banners of some portraits for use in protests, including 2019 rallies in Washington in support of stricter gun laws.

It is natural, therefore, to wonder at what point we will achieve acceptable population immunity levels to Covid-19. Will life return to normal in the United States, enriched by social, educational and recreational activities? Young people rarely experience profound illness due to Covid-19, and transmission of the infection from schoolchildren to adults appears to be an uncommon phenomenon. Schools and universities, therefore, should already be open, it seems to me. We see emerging concerns related to youth depression, lack of educational attainment and social isolation. Facilitating teacher vaccinations represents a reasonable policy. If teachers’ unions still balk at returning to work, the Air Traffic Controllers strike of the early 1980s might serve as a useful precedent. President Ronald Reagan fired controllers who stayed out. Reagan, a former president of the Screen Actors Guild, was not so much antiunion as pro-safety, with respect to protecting the public interest. Bureaucratic mandates typ-

ically endure well beyond their expected lifespan. The post9/11 approach to airplane safety, giving rise to screening procedures that often feel intrusive, is an example. Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health is suggesting that masks will be necessary well into 2022. Why the bleak outlook, Tony? I was screened for food allergies at an approved outdoor restaurant venue, after going through a temperature check and Covid-19 interrogation. Why stop there? Why not screen us for hypercholesterolemia or diabetes mellitus? Dietary decisions impact those medical conditions. Will schools diminish social distancing, temperature checks and ubiquitous sanitizer use? “Dream On,” to quote Aerosmith. Cold and flu transmission will plummet in our sanitized new world. But how will our children learn to communicate and interact? I miss real life, germs and all.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Saturday, February 28, 2021 B7

Are we still one nation under God?

re we still one nation under God indivisible? The answer seems to be, obviously not. Even though unity is promised by our nation’s leader, division is promoted. Of course now is where we blame everyone else who thinks or looks different than us, but what has happened? God, in his word, gave us a book of laws to be used by those who choose to be governed by him. Our nation used those laws for hundreds of years to guide and govern us, because they guard the hearts of men, and God blessed us to become the greatest, most powerful nation on Noel Reese Earth. Believe it or not, there is Religious view a correlation. The first day in office, the new president issued executive orders to undo the previous orders that had been passed in obedience to God’s laws, what we as a nation can expect. What seems to be forgotten, ignored or disregarded is what unites us as a nation, that being God. The Bible tells us, if we have accepted Jesus’ sacrifice and payment for our sins, and invite him into our lives, we become born of his spirit and we are adopted into his family, called the church. We are no longer held as slaves to the desires of our flesh, but can rejoice in righteousness. Romans 8:13-15 reads: “If you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. For

you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as children by which we cry out, ‘Abba! Father!’ ” When we are adopted into God’s family, we don’t get to choose the family members, God brings us all together in his love; all races, all classes of people, whether rich or poor. We are not divided, we are united by his spirit. We gain all the privileges afforded to having the best dad ever, and we bask under his protection. Returning to my question, what happens to us when we disregard and abandon God and his laws to govern us? I cannot answer that, because I don’t have the gift of being able to predict the future, but I can look to God’s word to see what happened when his nation rebelled in the past. We see an example in the book of Numbers, Chapter 14 beginning in Verse 11 with God himself asking Moses: “How long will this people spurn me? And how long will they not believe in me, despite all the signs which I have performed in their midst? I will smite them with pestilence and dispossess them . . . .” Is that what we have to look forward to? We already have the pestilence; how long until dispossession? Jesus offers the only solution, but it begins with turning to him for help. Ask him today. The Rev. Noel Reese is the pastor at Calvary Chapel Rio Vista.

‘SNL’s’ Che says Israel only vaccinated its ‘Jewish half’ The Washington Post As “Weekend Update” on “Saturday Night Live” fired off jokes about the pandemic this weekend, anchor Michael Che turned his attention to Israel’s world-leading vaccination program, which has faced criticism for not extending access to Palestinian territories. “Israel is reporting that they vaccinated half of their population,” said Che, the show’s co-head writer, “and I’m going to guess it’s the Jewish half.” The eight-second segment, which was met with stifled laughter from viewers inside Studio 8H, has led Jewish organizations and Israeli leaders to accuse Che of leaning into “an antisemitic trope,” with the Anti-Defamation League on Monday night suggesting that “Weekend Update” this year had leaned into jokes that “inappropriately use Jews as the punchline.” “Saturday’s deeply offensive joke about Israel’s COVID-19 vaccination process not only missed the mark, but crossed the line - basing the premise of the joke on factual

inaccuracies and playing into an antisemitic trope in the process,” Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement posted to Twitter. Neither Che nor “SNL” has publicly responded to the blowback, while others have come to the comedian’s defense and even praised him for questioning Israel’s vaccination program. An editorial in the Jerusalem Post on Monday called the criticism “unreasonable,” noting that the Jewish messaging community’s toward more explicit examples of antisemitism would be diluted “when the same ammunition is loaded up to deal with Che’s joke.” “Do the Jewish people or Israel gain anything from insinuating antisemitism was at play here?” the outlet wrote. “If everything is antisemitic, (then) nothing is, so the appellation must be used sparingly.” Israeli Health Minister Yuli Edelstein echoed Che’s joke as a form of antisemitism, calling the comedian’s words “a lie,” according to the Times of Israel.

In brief Air Force leaders order second review ARLINGTON, Va. — Acting Secretary of the Air Force John P. Roth, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., and Chief of Space Operations Gen. John W. Raymond directed the Department of the Air Force Inspector General to conduct an additional independent review of racial, gender and ethnic disparity in the Department of the Air Force. The review follows the department’s 2020 Racial Disparity Review released in Decemeber and expands its focus into three additional racial categories (Asian, American Indian/ Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander), gender and one additional ethnic category (Hispanic/Latinx). “The ( Inspector General) team has already begun to gather information contained in a wide array of previous reports, studies and various databases across the Department of the Air Force,” Roth said. “Although the data is helpful, the most important information will come directly from our airmen and guardians.” In directing the review, the senior leaders emphasized the need for further analysis, stating that “Ensuring fair and equitable discipline and development for all our Airmen and Guardians is critical. . . . Diversity makes us a stronger and more capable force.”

Coast Guard helps man near Alaska KODIAK, Alaska — A Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew medevacs a man from a fishing vessel Feb. 21, approximately 30 miles northeast of Cold Bay, Alaska.

The Alaska Ocean was 60 miles from Cold Bay during the initial call for help. On-scene weather at the time of the rescue was an air temperature of 28 degrees, 23 mph winds, and visibility of about 11 miles. — Daily Republic wire services

Desert Storm hits 30 years Air Force News Service ARLINGTON, Va. — Even before it began, before the first tactical decision and the first sortie flown, the 1991 conflict that would become known as Desert Storm acquired a notable profile. Today, 30 years after combat ended on Feb. 28, 1991, Desert Storm’s influence on the United States military, and especially the Air Force and Space Force, remain substantial and entrenched. For any student of history, Desert Storm’s accounting is well known. The U.S. and its allies flew more than 116,000 combat air sorties and dropped 88,500 tons of bombs over a six-week period that preceded the ground campaign. The air bombardment was so successful that the

ground campaign was over in 100 hours. Desert Storm was the first time stealth aircraft were used in a major way. It also featured an extensive use of precision-guided munitions. All of it was effective. The ground campaign began after six weeks of sustained air attacks drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait in four days. There are other notable footnotes. Desert Storm was the first time the Patriot missile system was used in combat to intercept and defeat Scud missiles. It was also the first time the Air Force relied heavily on stealth and space systems to support capabilities against a modern, integrated air defense. Desert Storm, said Chief of Space Operations Gen. Jay Raymond, “is the first time that

we integrated strategic space capabilities into the theater for operational advantage.” Desert Storm was also the first war since the adoption in the 1970s of the Total Force policy, which made the services far more dependent than previously on the National Guard and the Reserve. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr., notes the “firsts” achieved during Desert Storm and their continuing legacy. Yet while that legacy is significant, Brown maintains that another major – and often underappreciated – feature of the campaign is the importance of strong alliances and partners. Desert Storm, he said, fostered a new set of alliances that have remained mostly steadfast – and mutually beneficial –

since the war ended. “Allies. That’s the one thing that’s been constant since then,” he said. “You build these relationships with allies and partners and that pays huge dividends.” The benefits derived from combined operations, exercises and collaborations over the years continue to demonstrate their importance whether the adversary is ISIS or a peer competitor or a humanitarian effort, Brown said. It’s true that by the time combat operations began on Jan. 17, 1991, following Iraq’s invasion and annexation of Kuwait, 39 countries including the United States, several Arab states, NATO partners and others had formed a cohesive coalition. It was a potent and See Desert, Page B9

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences’ Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program is leading a multiyear study to identify risk factors for Covid-19 in the military population, understand the symptoms and disease course, and investigate clinical outcomes. Epidemiology, Immunology, and Clinical Characteristics of Emerging Infectious Diseases with Pandemic Potential study hopes to inform the Military Health System on ways to improve the patient care and treatment, infection, and disease prevention of those with Covid-19. Uniformed Services University is working in partnership with a network of military commands, treatment facilities, and laboratories across the country for the study. Findings from the study “will support further understanding of the impact of SARS-COV-2 infection on active-duty readiness, acute and chronic clinical outcomes, the effectiveness of new treatments and vaccines, and address questions related to the emergence of new variants and their clinical impact,” said Dr. Brian Agan, deputy science director of Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program and principal investigator of the study. The study is also evaluating how long the immune response to the Covid-19 vaccines lasts, breakthrough infections – which happen when a vaccinated individual becomes sick from the same illness the vaccination is designed to prevent – and how they behave over time, and estimating vaccine effectiveness, said Agan, who is also an employee of the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. Department of Defense service members and Military Health Services beneficiaries of any age with Covid-19-like illness who are admitted to the hospital or treated as outpatients at an Epidemiology, Immunology, and Clinical Characteristics of Emerging Infectious Diseases with Pandemic Potential site can join. Likewise, those 18 years or older who have been tested for Covid-19, whether they tested positive or negative, can participate in the online portion of the study, which includes self-collected blood specimens for selected participants.

Tuskegee pilot describes service to airmen Air Force News Service A pilot who fought Germans in World War II, got shot down and captured and survived to tell about it, met virtually with deployed airmen at the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing Feb. 17. Lt. Col. Harold Brown is a founding member of the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing, the segregated wing made famous by the Tuskegee Airmen. Those airmen’s exemplary record helped spur the racial integration of the armed forces in July 1948. In honor of Black History Month, the wing diversity and inclusion council arranged for Brown to call into a gathering of airmen, who asked him questions for an hour. “As a person of color during that era what were some of the

most significant challenges you faced?” asked Airman 1st Class Ayaii Houston. “Well,” he said with a chuckle, “you have to understand in those days we had a totally segregated society. Not only was it by law, but it was by tradition.” He went on to say that in his eyes it was “simply the way it was” and he accepted it. One year after President Harry S. Truman integrated the armed forces, Brown reported to Japan and his commander, a U.S. Air Force colonel, summoned him to his office. “He told me right up front ‘Harold, I don’t believe in integration. You’ll have to prove yourself to me,’ ” Brown said. “Well, I had an outstanding year, to be quite honest with you, and we had a conversation about a

year later and he told me what a fine job I’d done.” He was promoted early to the rank of major at that point. A common theme in the questions was how he dealt with adversity and racial discrimination and his answers largely indicate he simply paid it little mind. When it came to promotions, he gave a short account of his philosophy. “If that yoyo can become a captain, then I know doggone well I can become a captain,” he said of his time as a first lieutenant. The evening finished out with him visiting with several F-15E pilots in the deployed location and at one point he said with obvious enthusiasm that he wished he were in their shoes, flying the Strike Eagle.

Desert: Roots of Space Force can trace back to Desert Storm From Page B8 effective force. By the time fighting ended 43 days after it began, the force, which included 697,000 service men and women from the United States, overwhelmed Iraqi forces. Desert Storm also did something else: it rearranged and updated American warfighting strategies in a way that maximized new technologies and spawned new tactics and doctrines. It showed the importance of space and stealth, of using a truly multi-domain strategy and using a “Total Force” doctrine. Nowhere is that more true than the military use of space. Desert Storm is recognized as the first true “space war,” one that used GPS, precision-guided

weapons and satellite communication. Those technologies and tools were central – and essential – to the success of the effort rather than cobbled on as an accessory. And unlike previous conflicts, Desert Storm utilized the “Total Force” concept in which the National Guard and Reserve played crucial and expanded roles. “The seeds of an independent Space Force were absolutely sown during Desert Storm. Up until Desert Storm, most people thought of space as an add-on,” said Air Force Lt. Gen. S. Clinton Hinote, deputy chief of staff for Strategy, Integration and Requirements. It’s not an overstatement, historians and analysts say, to trace the roots of the Space Force to Desert Storm.

Thirty years after combat ended on Feb. 28, 1991, Desert Storm’s influence on the United States military, and especially the Air Force and Space Force, remain substantial and entrenched. While promise and potential of capabilities such as “beyond line of sight communication” and “precision navigation and timing” were understood before Desert Storm, that conflict marked the first time those capabilities were widely used. “It became such that nobody ever again wanted

about airpower, but also because of valuable insights that apply to our current and future wars,” the report said. The General Accountability Office described Desert Storm as “perhaps the most successful war fought in the 20th century.” T hat assessment is more than a sterilized remembrance. “Just as our way of war has been fueled by space capabilities, largely since Desert Storm, we’ve also grown those capabilities over the course of the last three decades,” Raymond said. “We are more reliant on space today than ever before. And unlike at the time of Desert Storm, today, access to space is not a given, and we need to maintain superiority in the domain to protect our nation’s security and our way of life.”

to fight without those things,” Hinote said. “It took a long time but I think you can trace the appreciation inside the Pentagon and inside the Joint Force for space that reaches back to Desert Storm. We wouldn’t have been nearly as effective had it not been for the space assets we had.”

Hinote isn’t alone in that view. The numbers explain why those assessments are not only offered, but also accepted and acted on. The coalition’s “air armada of nearly a thousand aircraft in the first day of the air campaign attacked more targets than all of the Eighth Air Force aircraft hit in the entire European theater during the years 1942 and 1943,” The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies noted in a recently released report aimed to coincide with Desert Storm’s 30th anniversary. “For 43 days, coalition air forces were brought to bear against the centers of gravity of Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi regime. . . . It is important to remember Desert Storm, not only for the definitive revelations and demonstrations
