Caltrans to study use of GPS to develop precise user-based fee Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — More people are driving electric cars or hybrids, and gas-powered vehicles are more efficient than ever. That means fewer gallons of gas are being purchased, and that means less gas tax is being generated to maintain, repair or construct roads and bridges across the country. So for the past five years, the federal government – and many states – have been trying to figure out how to develop a user-based funding source. To that end, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway

Administration awarded $18.7 million to eight “Surface Transportation System Funding Alternatives” projects “to test new user-based funding methods for highways and bridges. The program helps states explore innovative new ways to provide long-term support for the Highway Trust Fund.” The pilot projects under the Surface Transportation System Funding Alternatives program allow states to learn more about potential new user fees structures that can complement traditional funding sources that states rely on to build and improve the nation’s highway and bridge infraSee Caltrans, Page A9

anti-asian hate crimes

Asian Americans fearful as 3,800 incidents reported during pandemic Tribune Content Agency Anastasia Antonius used to take her time getting from her car to the Seattle church where she works as an office manager. The Indonesian mother would often stand leisurely outside the vehicle while grabbing her belongings and unbuckling her child from the car seat before dropping him off at he church-run day care. But a series of disturbing anti-Asian incidents outside the church, which has been targeted by

racist graffiti four times this year, has forced her to change her routine. “To tell you the truth, I just run from the parking lot to the building now,” she told the Daily News. The minor change in Antonius’ daily life is just one example of how Asian Americans are shifting their behavior in light of a disturbing rise of anti-Asian harassment and violence across the country, with many of them staying away from public areas to avoid See Hate, Page A9

FAIRFIELD — A full recovery of thousands of lost jobs in Fairfield, at least in terms of raw numbers if not in the specific jobs lost, could happen a full two years or more before the state projects employment numbers statewide will return to pre-pandemic levels. That’s the assessment of economist Robert Eyler, who presented an overview of his thesis this week to the City Council. Eyler is working with a group of economic development firms to chart a path forward for Fairfield. He is a professor of economics at Sonoma State University and president of Economic Forensics and

Analytics in Petaluma. He shared a baseline analysis with the City Council of the economic situation in Fairfield and the effects of the novel coronavirus pandemic and state-ordered restrictions on businesses and other activities. Fairfield represented about a quarter of Solano County’s $22 billion economy in 2019, Eyler said. He said it is possible for the city to recover eyler from the Covid-19 pandemic faster than both the county and the state. The city was home to approximately 43,000 jobs prior to the pandemic, Eyler reports. That

Tiger No. 2 was fired by the show during the second season and disappeared from the storyline. Tiger Brady appeared in 10 episodes (four featuring the original Tiger, six with the replacement Tiger), then went away. The family conveniently ignored that they had a dog, in that Mike and Carol ignored the existence of their first spouses. The Brady family was very good at pretending bad things didn’t happen. But.

The Cunninghams lived in Wisconsin, the home state of red-baiting Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Chuck’s parents found out about his work for the USSR and he “disappeared.” To give Richie and Joanie a chance in life, they pretended Chuck didn’t exist. Prove me wrong!) But people talk and joke about Chuck Cunningham. No one mentions Tiger Brady. Tiger was on pace to be one of the greatest canine characters in TV history. His performance in the pilot episode, when he chased Fluffy, the girls’ cat (who also disappeared from the series), was worthy of an Emmy. Then Tiger died and his

replacement ruined the role. Tragedy? Scandal? Maybe both, but don’t ignore the fact that for the rest of the series, the Brady family kept Tiger’s doghouse in the backyard. Did they think he’d return? Did Mike and Carol tell the kids Tiger “went to a farm” and the kids were waiting for his return? Was the doghouse a message to the Brady kids that they’d never escape the clutches of Mike and Carol and they could get hit by a car, too? I don’t know. All I know is that the James Dean of TV dogs never got proper respect because the producers tried to cover up his death. Tiger deserved better. Reach Brad Stanhope at bradstanhope@outlook.com.

NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona file photos (2012, 2015)

The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment captured this image, left, of Crisp Crater in Sirenum Fossae on Mars in 2015. This large impact crater was formed when a meteorite crashed into Mars. The sharp rim around its edge indicates this is a young crater. The steep slopes

contain clues that suggest water may be seeping down its slopes. HiRISE revealed sandy dunes, right, inside Lyot Crater in 2012. Using this photo and others, scientists have calculated that the dunes on Mars may travel more than 3 feet in one Martian year (which equals 687 Earth days).

Stunning images of Mars keep coming since HiRISE camera first orbited Red Planet was about $2.4 billion, so NASA wanted to make sure it landed safely. NASA turned to HiRISE and studied 81 images of Jezero Crater to determine a safe landing target within the crater. “We’re looking for a nice level area we can drive out of with no troubles,” says Rich Zurek, project scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. “We want to avoid hard things that are big, like rocks, and we want to avoid soft things like sand, that don’t provide good traction.” After Perseverance landed February 18, HiRISE continued to play a key role in the mission. “You can see the rover tracks with the HiRISE camera,” Zurek says. “You can see where it’s going and where it’s been.” When you’re operating a robotic rover from about 140 million miles away, the ability to see its path is invaluable. HiRISE images have also given scientists a new understanding of what many people thought was a “dead planet.”

The Washington Post Images of Mars from the past decade have shown amazing craters, dust storms and colorful mineral deposits. The photos come from the most powerful camera ever sent to a planet. It’s called High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, or HiRISE, and it’s helping scientists understand the planet where NASA has sent rovers and where it may send humans. Launched in 2005, the camera was designed to take detailed photos while orbiting the Red Planet. HiRISE has transmitted nearly 69,000 images since 2006 and is still sending pictures. The images are color-enhanced to allow scientists to see important details their eyes could not ordinarily detect. HiRISE photos helped NASA evaluate potential landing sites for the Perseverance rover to explore. Scientists selected Jezero Crater, a dried lake where they hope to find signs of ancient life on Mars. The cost to build and launch Perseverance

“The largest breakthrough in Mars science that we’ve learned from HiRISE images is that there are active geological processes at work today,” says Candice Hansen, HiRISE deputy principal investigator. “Prior to HiRISE, the conventional wisdom was that all the ‘action’ on Mars happened billions of years ago.” The camera takes many images of the same place at different times, which allows researchers to detect changes on the surface. “We’ve seen avalanches off the northern polar cap,” Hansen says. “We’ve seen dunes migrate.” Scientists have even calculated how fast Mars’s dunes travel - up to three feet in a Martian year (687 Earth days) - by examining HiRISE photos taken at different time intervals. Using HiRISE images, researchers are studying many of Mars’s changing features, such as canyons, ice and craters. For example, one photo of an impact crater with steep slopes contained clues that led scientists to believe

Solano’s daily Covid case report improves heading into weekend

State pushes tax filing deadline back to May 17

Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — California residents have until May 17 to file their state tax forms and pay any taxes due. The announcement Friday by the Franchise Tax Board follows a similar deadline reset by the Internal Revenue Service, which recently moved the federal filing and payment deadline to May 17. “We recognize what a challenging year this has been for Californians statewide,” state Controller Betty T. Yee, chairwoman of the Franchise Tax Board, said in a statement. “I am pleased we are able to postpone tax filing and payment deadlines for all individual taxpayers in California to May 17. Hopefully, this small measure of relief will continue to allow people to focus on their health and safety and navigate the complexities caused by the pandemic.” The postponement only applies to individual taxpayers and it does not apply to estimated tax payments, which are still due April 15.

FAIRFIELD — The weekends – Saturday through Monday – have brought good news to the Solano County Public Health Division in March. The results may be skewed a bit by the fact fewer tests, and therefore fewer positives, are being completed. However, the positivity testing rate has held true. Solano County has had a daily coronavirus case rate of slightly better than 28 over the past three

The rate over the past 14 days, starting March 13, is 31.43 cases per day. The 35 new Friday cases take the pandemic total to 30,745, the county reported. Nearly half the daily total was reported in Fairfield, where 15 new cases took the city’s count to 8,394. Vallejo had nine confirmed cases, now at

County to introduce nuisance ordinance at supervisors session Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A public nuisance ordinance is scheduled to be introduced Tuesday when the Solano County Board of Supervisors next meets. The ordinance addresses such issues as excess junk and debris, unpermitted construction activities, grading or drainage work, excessive noise and serious health and safety hazards. Supervisor Monica Brown said the ordinance was a long time in coming. “For me, it is doing what I wanted, which is dealing with weed abatement and dealing with noise abatement,” said Brown, who has made both issues a priority during her five years on the board. “It drives me insane that there are people who are not taking care of their property,” said Brown, who added the conditions

can be one tossed cigarette away from a disaster. She said the county needed a stronger enforcement tool, and this will provide that. The ordinance is designed to give brown the county another option to abate the nuisance short of going to court. “The proposed ordinance provides a uniform administrative process to assist in achieving compliance by providing a chance for independent review of code violations issued by county staff and allows for administrative cost recovery associated with activity by the county to achieve compliance. The process includes both an informal and formal process, resulting in an enforceable Abatement Order,” a staff report to the board states. “The pr o p o s e d ordinance requires

respondents to reimburse the county for all costs of enforcement in cases where the formal abatement process is initiated, including costs of investigation, inspection, correspondence, notices and orders, and hearings . . . to be established by the board as part of the annual fee program. Cases resolved through the informal noticing process would not be subject to the cost recovery provisions,” the staff report states. The supervisors also are scheduled to be updated on preparation for the May 4 special election in Vacaville to fill the City Council seat left vacant when Mitch Mashburn joined the county board. The Library’s Facility Master Plan is on the agenda for review, too. The virtual meeting is set for 9 a.m. Information

Tribune Content Agency MIAMI — Due to overwhelming spring break crowds, the city of Miami Beach will impose an 8 p.m. curfew in the South Beach entertainment district and block most eastbound traffic entering the city after 10 p.m. beginning Saturday. Interim City Manager Raul Aguila, who will authorize the emergency measures, told the Miami Herald that he recommends keeping them in place through April 12, or the end of spring break. A countywide midnight curfew is already in place due to Covid-19. “These crowds are in the thousands,” Aguila said. “We’re at capacity.” Police will enforce the 8 p.m. curfew by blockading South Beach’s main party strips – Ocean Drive, Washington Avenue and Collins Avenue – from Fifth to 15th streets. No pedestrians or vehicles will be allowed to enter after 8 p.m. and all businesses in the restricted area will be forced close, Aguila said. Beginning at 10 p.m.

Pockets of the beach were crowded in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, March 4, as spring break is starting to ramp up in South Florida beaches and nearby bars. tonight and extending until 5 a.m., Aguila said, the city will also close the eastbound lanes of the three main causeways that connect Greater Miami to Miami Beach – the MacArthur, Julia Tuttle and Venetian causeways. There will be a dedicated lane for Beach residents, hotel guests or people who need to go to work, Aguila said. “I’m concerned for the public safety, I’m concerned that there may be damage to personal property,” Aguila said. The measures follow

weeks of confrontations between police and large crowds, fights and occasional bouts of violence, including a deadly shooting. Mayor Dan Gelber and public health officials have also warned about the risks of spreading Covid-19 among the throngs of visitors crowding the city. For now, the measures are temporary. The city charter authorizes Aguila to impose the measures for 72 hours. Aguila said Mayor Dan Gelber has called an emergency com-

mission meeting Sunday where commissioners will vote whether to extend the order or cancel it. Aguila said he has support from Ocean Drive Association Chairman Jonathan Plutzik, who owns the Betsy Hotel, and has heard from three other Ocean Drive businesses that are voluntarily closing due to the unruly crowds. On Friday, the iconic Clevelander South Beach announced it would temporarily close.

1 dead, 1 seriously ill after getting AstraZeneca shot in Denmark Tribune Content Agency Two hospital workers in Denmark fell seriously ill after getting the AstraZeneca vaccine, according to local reports. One of them has died. The patients were admitted to a hospital with blood clots and brain hemorrhage. They began developing symptoms within 14 days of getting vaccinated, the authority that runs public hospitals in Copenhagen said, according to Reuters. The Danish Medicines Agency said it’s investigating whether their condition was linked to the vaccine. “The Capital Region of Denmark can confirm that two of our employees have been admitted with symptoms of blood clots in the brain and cerebral hemorrhage,” a spokesperson said in a statement shared with the Ekstra Bladet newspaper. “One has sadly passed away,” the statement added. Last week more than a dozen European countries temporarily suspended the use of the vaccine after cases of rare blood clots were reported, leading scientists scrambling to find any relationship between the AstraZeneca shot and the disease. Danish authorities put a break on the AstraZeneca rollout on March 11, after the death of a 60-year-old woman. She was diagnosed with a “low number of platelets, blood clots in small and large vessels, and bleed-

According to The Associated Press, many countries – including Italy, Germany and France – have since resumed vaccination, after the EU’s drug regulatory agency said that the benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine outweigh its risks. But Denmark, as well as its neighbors Sweden and Norway, said on Friday that health authorities need more time to evaluate reports of adverse reactions. “The Danish Medicines Agency and other drug regulatory authorities in the EU have chosen to investigate if these rare but serious cases could be an adverse reaction to the vaccine from AstraZeneca,” Tanja Erichsen, the agency’s acting director of pharmacovigilance, said in a statement. “The symptoms are unusual and they appear right after the vaccinations. It is our job to react in such cases. It is important that we together with (European Medicines Agency) and the other drug regulatory authorities take our time to evaluate this type of reports thoroughly,” she added.

21-year-old woman killed, 7 others hurt in nightclub shooting; gunman at large Tribune Content Agency DALLAS — One person was killed and seven others were injured when a shooter opened fire early Saturday inside a crowded northwest Dallas nightclub, police said. Police were called about 1:30 a.m. to Pryme Bar just south of Northwest Highway and between Interstate 35E and Loop 12, and found eight people shot – four men and four women, all in their 20s, police said. Officers determined that a disturbance broke out between two groups inside, and after a witness tried to intervene the shooter pulled out a gun and began firing. The gunman, who was described as a Black man in his early 20s with dreads and a blue shirt with a hat and jacket, is at large, police said. All eight victims were taken to local hospitals. Daisy Navarrete, 21, of Plano died at the hospital, while conditions of the seven others ranged from good to critical, police said. Navarrete had just turned 21 on Monday and was full of life, said her mother, Judith Gonzalez, also of Plano. She was born and raised in Plano and worked at FedEx, but hoped to one day go to nursing school. “She was a beautiful, happy girl,” Gonzalez said. “She had a lot to live for. But not anymore because now she’s gone. “This has been very, very hard,” she added. “We need the police to get the person that did this. This cannot be left like this.” G onza lez sa id Navarrete went to the club

‘How did a person get in there with a gun? The police needs to look at all those details. If they were more careful, we won’t be going through all this nightmare.’ — Judith Gonzalez, mother of Daisy Navarrete

“just to have fun.” She said it was the nightclub’s responsibility to make sure the environment was safe inside, and she expressed anger at police and Pryme Bar for not taking steps to prevent the violence. “How did a person get in there with a gun?” Gonzalez said. “The police needs to look at all those details. If they were more careful, we won’t be going through all this nightmare.” Piles of blood-stained rags and clothes, shards of glass and bottles of alcohol were still scattered around the two-story club later Saturday morning. A light pink heel that employees said belonged to one of the victims still sat near the entrance by a pile of stained clothing. It had been a busy Friday night with hundreds of partygoers, many of them young women, when the shooting erupted, staff members said. “There was a lot of mayhem,” said employee Jeromy Skinner, who was at the club overnight and came back early Saturday to help clean up. Skinner said he was near the back of the club when the shooter walked in through a side door and came to blows with another man near the front. The two fought near the entrance, then about nine to 12 shots rang out, Skinner said. The music was cut off and people

started frantically shoving one another in a scramble to get out the back doors. “If anything it’s weird that I’m alive because I saw a lady get shot,“ Skinner said, adding that was the moment he thought “this is real.” Police arrived within minutes, Skinner said. He said he remembers one woman who was shot stumbling toward the bathroom before telling him, “Please help me, I don’t want to die alone.” “That’s going to kill me the rest of my life,” Skinner said. “I was just like ‘damn.’ ”

Skinner said that employees were devastated by the shooting and that he couldn’t sleep after getting home about 5:30 a.m. Greg Adams, 41, was one of two people cleaning outside the bar Saturday morning. He said that he was outside the building when the shooting happened and that he saw hundreds of people pile out of the back entrances and out of nearby businesses. Adams said he saw one officer pick up a woman who’d been shot in or near her leg and sprint toward an ambulance. “It was pandemonium,” Adams said, adding that he noticed a pool of blood dripping out of a side door as police officers poured onto the scene. Skinner said the shooting at Pryme Bar wasn’t the first violent incident at the club, though he called it the worst he’s seen recently.

How will California spend $150B windfall?

et’s assume that your rich Uncle Harry died and when his will was read, he had left you $50,000. The unexpected inheritance gives you three choices. You could put the money into a savings account or investment and have it available should you need it in the future. You could use it for a one-time purchase such as a new car, college tuition or a down payment on a house. Or you could ramp up your lifestyle by $50,000 a year and hope that Harry’s brother George dies and leaves you enough money to continue the party. Something like that is Dan Walters occurring now as Uncle Joe (Biden) sends out nearly $2 trillion in “stimulus” payments both to low- and moderate-income families and state and local government entities to offset losses of income during the Covid-19 pandemic and, it’s assumed, kick-start the pandemicravaged economy. California will be a case study in how the massive transfer of money that the federal government is borrowing from buyers of its bonds and treasury notes plays out. The state is expected to receive the nation’s largest single share of the pot, at least $150 billion. Nearly half will be in the form of cash payments to families ($40 billion) and supplemental payments to the roughly 800,000 unemployed workers now drawing unemployment insurance benefits ($30 billion). Most of that money, it’s assumed, will go directly into the consumer economy, plus another $3.8 billion for direct assistance on rent, food and other necessities. The remainder of the $150 billion will mostly go to state and local agencies as both unrestricted revenue and money for specific purposes, such as $15.9 billion to help schools reopen, $5 billion for colleges, $4 billion for mass transit services and $3.9 billion for child care. Throughout California, officials in the specific government agencies that will benefit from Uncle Joe’s largesse are busily deciding how to spend it – and they face the same three choices as Uncle Harry’s beneficiaries would. The political pressure to spend it on new commitments will be immense. Advocates of specific programs, such as those seeking universal prekindergarten education and child care, will want to expand their reach. Public employee unions will seek increases in salaries and benefits. Elected political figures don’t like to say “no” to demands for immediate gratification and few have the courage to insist that one-time windfalls should be carefully husbanded rather than spent. There’s already a mini-version of the syndrome underway in California. The state has perhaps $15 billion in unexpected revenues because the pandemic-induced recession had little, if any, impact on high-income taxpayers and Gov. Gavin Newsom is under pressure to spend the windfall on program expansions, even though the state faces projected budget deficits in subsequent years. The problem, of course, is spending windfall money on new commitments, such as salaries, benefits and program expansions, backfires when the money is gone. Those commitments morph into entitlements and their beneficiaries then demand that politicians generate new income streams to pay for them. There’s already a debate underway in Washington over how much of the stimulus spending will become permanent and whether the federal government should continue borrowing to pay for it, or raise taxes. Left-leaning Democrats in both Washington and Sacramento are floating new tax proposals, such as a “wealth tax” on those sitting atop the economic ladder. Newsom simultaneously embraces, in principle, big expansions of entitlements, such as universal prekindergarten and single-payer health care, while warning that he won’t embrace new taxes, apparently fearing they would chase away the high-income taxpayers who supply a huge portion of the state’s revenues.

School board motions indicate ‘bonus’ situation After watching the FairfieldSuisun School District board meetings this year, I think there must be a bonus at the end of the year for the board member who makes the most motions for approval or second motions. Helen Tilley seems to jump off her couch with each item. Now that teachers are going back to the classroom, how long will it be before the public will be allowed back in for regular board meetings to witness this live? Wonder if the distance meetings are starting to get to her. Eric Campbell Fairfield

Voting access denied by GOP Lately, I have been reading about many Republican state legislatures that are changing the way voting is to be conducted in their state. It seems to have started after the November 2020 election, and before states certified their results. Some states tried to stop or eliminate the results of certain counties that were majority people of color. They want to limit mail-in voting, reduce the number of drop boxes that accept ballots, no voting on Sundays, reduce early voting; there are many more too numer-

ous to mention. I would think that they would want more people to vote and thereby make it easier to access voting stations. In all, the changes that these states are trying to make are disenfranchising the votes of people of color. The only conclusion I can come to is that the Republican Party is a racist organization.

Hunt for Vacaville City Council I have known Curtis Hunt for more than 40 years. I got to know him best when he wrote a grant for the city of Fairfield that funded two of the first police school resource officers in Northern California (Armijo High School and Fairfield High School-1984) He not only wrote the grant, but mentored the officers who filled those positions for years. I know Curtis personally – and know him to be honest and up front. I know he doesn’t serve personal interests and is not politically obligated to any person or group. He has sometimes taken controversial positions and is not afraid to stand alone if it benefits the citizens of Vacaville. He loves Vacaville and has been committed to the community for years. He has served unselfishly in many ways and desires to continue that service. Vacaville would be fortunate to

have him on the City Council again, especially now when good fiscal judgment is so strongly needed. Brent Baird Fairfield

How bad it really is Some have written about the slowing down of our court system during the pandemic. The history of Rome shows us how bad our current situation really is. In its early days, Rome suffered from a terrible epidemic. Rome’s public affairs depended on everyone being involved. The epidemic sickened not only public officials and militia members, but also brought the justice system and elections apparatus to its knees, says historian Livy. The problem in America today is that our people are not engaged in processes of government like Romans were. Rome rebounded to watchful civic engagement. When our epidemic is over, we will rebound to our usual indolence. American election campaigns, lobbying, government oversight and political party work are all typically done by professional experts, while our citizens sit on the sidelines gorging on food and entertainment. Our losses in civil and criminal justice, and even elections, may well be permanent due to the nation’s advanced state of decline even before 2020.

Sadly, survey after survey shows that too many Americans, especially younger Americans, have neither the knowledge of, nor the devotion to, the Constitution that Madison called for. It’s a serious crisis. The only way to remedy this is by studying the words and principles of the Constitution itself. Before jumping on the bandwagon of those who claim the Constitution is hopelessly outdated, we need to read and understand what the Declaration of Independence and Constitution actually say. We need to relive the great debates over the Constitution and our founding principles so we understand who we are as a people – and what it means to be an American. And when we consider any change to the Constitution, it should always be a change that brings the document more – not less – in line with our founding principles of individual liberty, personal responsibility and limited government. Every year, crowds of Americans visit national monuments to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. And rightfully so. But there is no such monument to James Madison. His monument is the Constitution. The better you know it, the more inclined you will be to preserve it.

The jobless rate in the city remained in double-digits in May (14.3%), June (13.4%) and July (12.4%) before it dipped below 10% in August to 9.9%. The rate of joblessness in Fairfield continued to fall in September to 9.5%, to 8.1% in October and to 7.4% in November, when the state issued its second shutdown order. The city’s jobless rate increased to 8.5% in December and remained at that level in January, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. Unemployment numbers are not yet reported for February. Eyler compared the city’s recovery from the Great Recession to the number of jobs lost at the height of the pandemic and the recovery of jobs since. It took the city about a year and a half to recover the jobs lost during the Great Recession, but those gains did not hold for long, Eyler reports. The number of people employed in the city did not significantly advance beyond levels found prior to the Great Recession until mid-2020. The number of jobs lost to the pandemic far exceeds those lost during the Great Recession. Businesses in Fairfield that are focused on leisure or hospitality took a steep hit due to the pandemic: Eyler, in his report, said those employers were down between 24% and 27% in terms of hiring at the close of 2020. Eyler’s best-case forecast shows a full recovery of the city’s labor market as early as 2022. His midrange forecast – based on what he characterizes as the status quo in terms of the city’s economic development activities – calls for a full recovery in the number of jobs lost to the pandemic by sometime in 2024. The worst-case scenario is that Fairfield follows the

state’s economic forecast for pandemic recovery and does not fully recover its lost jobs until sometime after 2024. Eyler made note of the fact that Fairfield draws labor from throughout the Bay Area and Sacramento regions but also sends city residents to other communities across those regions. He said that situation – workers both coming into the city for their jobs and leaving the city for work – presents both “challenges and opportunities” to the city as it seeks to recover from the pandemic. “The more we turn the corner,” Eyler said of Solano County moving from more restrictions to fewer restrictions based on the spread of the virus, “things may progress faster.” A move from the red tier – Solano County’s current designation – to the orange tier in the state’s color-coded Covid-19 monitoring system would ease restrictions placed on businesses and community activities. A move from orange to yellow would further ease those restrictions. Fair field’s baseline economy is driven by three overarching sectors of employment, Eyler reports: n Traded sector, which consists of industries with a primary focus on markets outside the local area but excluding industries that serve visitors. n Locally serving sector, which consists of industries that serve city residents, everything from retail to hair salons to restaurants to construction. n Visitor-serving sector, which includes motels and hotels as well as tourist attractions and event centers. Recovery in all three areas is necessary to further the city’s overall economic recovery, Eyler reports, while growth in the traded sector figures prominently in a swift economic recovery. The information Eyler provided to the City Council is a summary of a working paper about the city that is currently being prepared.

From Page One structure, Acting Federal Highway Administrator Stephanie Pollack said in a statement released by the highway administration. California’s Department of Transportation received a $2.15 million grant, which will fund a pilot program to determine if the use of global positioning system technology can accurately identify when motorists are on public roads and how many miles they are driving. Lauren Prehoda, the Road Charge Program manager for Caltrans, said the goal is to create a user-based system by which everyone will pay a fair share of the costs based on the miles they drive rather than by the number of gallons of gasoline they purchase. Right now, she noted,

Relief From Page One released no earlier than 12 months from the date of the first payment.” How the county intends to use the funds has not been determined. The supervisors are expected in April to discuss what they would like to use the funds for moving forward. “We’ve been given direction from the (Board of Supervisors) to have an open discussion about the possibilities on how these federal relief funds will be spent here in Solano County,” County Administrator Birgitta Corsello said in an email response to a Daily Republic inquiry. “At the moment we are waiting on guidance from the U.S. Treasury, and in the meantime, I’ve asked our departments to review and identify what program and service areas have been impacted by the recent shutdowns and to create a summary of what could use funding. We will provide the summary of these findings to the board and set a date and time to discuss at a future Board of Supervisors meeting,” Corsello said. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 is the same relief package that is providing $1,400 to American adults with incomes below $75,000, plus provisions for children. There are, of course, no strings attached to how Americans spend what is the third stimulus check sent out by the federal gov-

Hate From Page One becoming targets.. The growing crisis made national headlines this week when a gunman stormed three Atlantaarea massage parlors on Tuesday and shot eight people to death, including six Asian women. Although authorities have not labeled the shooting spree a hate crime, Asian American leaders say the rampage was the culmination of decades of discrimination against their community fueled by national figures who blamed them for the coronavirus pandemic. The racist rhetoric – frequently spouted by former President Donald Trump, who insisted on calling Covid-19 the “Chinese virus” or “Kung Flu” – helped stoke hate and embolden intolerance across the country, experts and advocates said. “He was very deliberate in his choice of words to intentionally scapegoat and cast blame, and really hold Asian Americans essentially responsible for the pandemic to distract from his own lack of responsibility and lead-

someone driving an electric car, a hybrid or even a newer, more efficient vehicle pays less even though they may be contributing as much to traffic congestion and the wear and tear on infrastructure as someone driving a less efficient vehicle. The goal, Prehoda said, is to better balance the share of costs based on actual use of the roadways. California began looking into the issue in 2016-2017 with a pilot program with 5,000 participants who, over a nine-month period, drove 37 million miles. Third-party managers recorded that information in various ways, including the use of GPS. “It was very successful,” Prehoda said. Since then, the state has continued the work, studying other user-based systems for collecting fees, such as user-based insurance, a pay-at-thepump system and GPS links with ride-sharing

systems such as Uber. “I think it is important to note that there is no winning way,” Prehoda said. This latest pilot program, which is scheduled to begin in 2023, is focused largely in the rural areas of the state, and to determine if GPS can distinguish when a vehicle is on a public road, rather than, for example, when a farmer is driving distances on his or her own property. “This program is trying to be more accurate to show when people are on public roads versus private roads,” Prehoda said. Individuals can see how the current tax system compares with the user-fee system by entering their driving information into the road charge calculator that can be found at www.caroad charge.com. Select the “learn more about road charge” link. It takes you to the calculator.

For example, a commuter who averages 3,000 miles per month and drives a car that gets 20 miles per gallon – and if the fee is 2 cents per mile – the calculator shows the road charge fee would be $60 compared to the $75.45 in state fuel taxes. If the fee was 4 cents per mile, the fee would be $120 compared to the $75.45 in state fuel taxes. If that same driver commuted in an electric car, then any road charge fee would be an increase in costs. Prehoda also emphasized that while any program would have to go through the state Legislature, the intent is not to create a new tax, but a replacement fee. California just went through an overhaul of its transportation funding with the passage of the $54.2 billion Senate Bill 1, which included a new revenue formula to offset the declining gas tax revenues.

ernment during the novel coronavirus pandemic. And what is being hailed in local halls of government is the flexibility to use those funds as well. There are guidelines, though even within many of those there is great flexibility, and the funds must be expended by the end of 2024. The following uses for the funds are permitted: n To respond to the Covid-19 public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses and nonprofits, or to aid impacted industries such as tourism, travel and hospitality. n To respond to workers performing essential work during the public health emergency by providing premium pay, up to $13 more per hour, to such workers or by providing grants to eligible employers that have eligible workers. There is a limit of $25,000 per eligible worker. n For the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue (i.e. online, property or income tax) due to the health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency. n To make necessary investments in water, sewer or broadband infrastructure. “States will be prohibited from using funds to either directly or indirectly offset a reduction in the net tax revenue that results from a change in

law, regulation or administrative interpretation during the covered period that reduces any tax,” the staff report states. “If a state violates this provision, it will be required to repay the amount of the applicable reduction to net tax revenue. Furthermore, no funds can be deposited into a pension fund.” The relief package specifically includes $ 14 bi l l io n corsello “to speed up the distribution and ad m i n ist rat ion of Covid-19 vaccines across the country. The funding will support the development of community vaccination centers, as well as mobile vaccination units,” the memo states. Another $48.3 billion is set aside to fund rapid tests, community-based testing sites and expanding lab capacity. The legislation provides $7.66 billion to allow public health departments to hire more staff, and $10 billion to help produce tests, masks, personal protective equipment and vaccines. Additionally, it adds support for a variety of specific areas of relief such as Medicaid; the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Disaster Relief Fund as related to Covid19; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; and CalWORKS. It has funds for a Child Care Development Block Grant program; one-time funding for The Child Abuse Prevention and

Treatment Act services; and Elder Justice/Adult Protective Services. A Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program; Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics; a $100 million rural rental assistance program; and an additional $21.55 billion to go toward emergency rental assistance and $5 billion toward emergency housing vouchers are included as well. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the Pandemic EBT Program, nutrition programs for seniors and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children also are supported. Fairfield is expected to receive $2.5 million and Vacaville $790,000 in transit funds, part of the $30.5 billion to help assist with transit operating costs, including payroll and personal protective equipment, the memo states. There are also provisions for economic development, unemployment (including self-employed and gig workers), paycheck protection and a restaurant revitalization fund; and additional funds set aside for restaurants, bars and other targeted businesses. The package “includes nearly $123 billion in Covid-19 relief funding for K-12 schools nationwide, with schools in California expected to receive roughly $15.3 billion.”

ership,” said Jennifer Sun, co-executive director at Asian Americans for Equality. The racist language has had tragic consequences. Police statistics reveal that anti-Asian hate crimes went up by nearly 150% last year in 16 of America’s largest cities, according to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, which studied law enforcement data. A separate study by the group Stop AAPI Hate found that about 3,800 racially motivated attacks against Asian Americans were reported nationwide since March 2020, with most of them targeting women. The report noted that the figure is “just a fraction” of the actual number since many victim don’t report the attacks. New York hasn’t escaped the backlash. Just days ago, a man cursed and spat at an Asian woman who was walking her dog in lower Manhattan. “You stupid c---k b---h! Go back to your country,” he screamed, cops said. On Tuesday, another Asian woman in Midtown was doused with an unknown liquid by a racist attacker

who snarled, “Go back to China,” police said. The harm goes beyond the physical. Sun noted that many Asian women who lost their jobs, or were widowed during the pandemic are feeling “very fearful” about reentering the workforce because of the risk of being attacked during their commute. “They’re choosing not to go out, so they’re much more isolated now as a result of this,” Sun said. “There’s a fear about going out to buy groceries, running their everyday errands. Some of them are choosing not to get vaccinated because they’re scared of going outside to vaccination sites.” Antonius, who works at Seattle’s International Full Gospel Fellowship Church, said some of the teachers at the day care there are Chinese women and most are “terrified and scared” by what’s happening across the nation and outside their own workplace. A mysterious bigot spelled out “F--- China” and “You will pay” in hay across the church parking lot. Officials have since hired a security staff and are in the process of installing a surveillance video system. Joo Han, deputy direc-

tor at the New York-based Asian American Federation, described Tuesday’s shooting as the “confirmation of the worst of our fears.” “It’s a year of trauma in the making. It’s a year of grieving in the making. And I think it’s going to take a long time for people to feel safe again,” Han told The News. “For a year, we’ve had so many verbal assaults and physical assaults, but to have it culminate in this senseless act of violence where six members of the Asian community had their lives taken for being at a place where they thought was safe, it’s horrific,” she said. Melissa Borja, a professor at the University of Michigan’s Asian/ Pacific Islander American Studies program, has been documenting incidents of anti-Asian racism since last year, but is still gutted by the attack in Georgia. “We all have a knot in our throats. It’s nauseating and it’s profoundly upsetting,” she said. “We’re grieving not just the loss of life, but the loss of freedom that we felt we had had and the sense of security that has been lost in this rise of anti-Asian hate.”

Dimes, defense lead Vanden to victory over Wood LOCAL REPORT

Daily Republic staff

SPORTS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Sophomore quarterback Tre Dimes threw three touchdowns to three different receivers and the Vanden High defense pitched a shutout most of the second half as the Vikings opened the 2021 spring season – and Monticello Empire League play – with a 34-13 win over Will C. Wood at Wildcat Stadium, Friday. “We played well,” Vanden coach Sean Murphy said. “There was a lot of adrenaline, they were excited to play.”

Linairus Agee followed up a long run by going in from 4 yards out to put the Vikings ahead to stay at 7-0 after the first of kicker Diego Nunes-Smith’s four conversion boots. Early in the second quarter, Vanden upped its lead to 14-0 on a 15-yard scoring toss from Dimes to Johnte McDowell. The Vikings were poised to get the ball back but a muffed punt gave the Wildcats the ball on the Vanden 10 and quarterback Ken Tilford ran it in

from 2 yards out. Emmanuel Nwagbara added the extra point to make it 14-7 at the half. A 73-yard dash by Tilford set up Wood’s next score, a 1-yard run by Joseph Minor, though a missed conversion try kept Vanden’s lead at 14-13. “There weren’t penalties on special teams, normal things (you’d see) the first week,” Murphy said. “That was encouraging. We were a little bit ahead of where we normally are Week 1. That’s nice. It’ll be a challenging schedule the next few weeks, it’s going to challenge our young

players, That was very encouraging that we were able to limit silly mistakes, things that happen Week 1 for most part. We still need to put together a full four-quarter game somewhere in this five-game season.” Likewise, Wood coach Kirk Anderson saw some good things and was also impressed by the Vikings. “It was a tough fought game,” Anderson said. “We were in it there early. . . . We just couldn’t sustain it, They’ve got some guys.” Next week the Vikings host Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa,

Evaluating the SF Giants’ Minus Curry, outfield depth chart . . . undermanned and what it could look like as the season evolves K erry Crowley MERCURY NEWS

ith Opening Day fast approaching, the Giants are still sorting out which of their outfielders are capable of playing adequate defense in center field. Mauricio Dubón, Mike Yastrzemski, Austin Slater, LaMonte Wade Jr., Steven Duggar and prospect Heliot Ramos have all appeared in Cactus League games, but outside of Dubón, it’s unclear who the Giants really trust in center field. Given the small sample size of spring training games and the lack of innings to gain deeper insight into how much ground players such as Yastrzemski, Slater and Wade can cover, it’s likely the Giants’ evaluations of their options in center field will continue in the majors and at Triple-A during the first month of the season. With center field still a question mark and the corners largely settled, we looked at the Giants’ outfield personnel and how the depth chart could evolve as the season rolls along.

THE MAINSTAYS Mike Yastrzemski: The Giants’ 2020 Willie Mac Award winner wasn’t just the team’s most inspirational player last year, he was also their best. Yastrzemski finished eighth in National League MVP voting and has been the most productive player of Farhan Zaidi’s tenure. He’ll start on an everyday basis in 2021 and play against both righties and lefties, but his ability to play center field will be a key to the Giants’ season. If Yastrzemski shows he’s at least an adequate defender in center, he can start there against righthanded pitchers, allowing the Giants to have Alex Dickerson start in left and another left-handed bat such as Wade in right. Alex Dickerson: When healthy, Dickerson is a bonafide middle-ofthe-order bat and the player who stands to gain the most from hitting behind leadoff man Tommy La Stella and Yastrzemski, the presumed No. 2 hitter. Dickerson will start as often as he can in left field against right-handed pitchers and rest up and be available off the bench when the Giants face lefties. Since joining the Giants, his OPS+ is above 130. Mauricio Dubón: Dubón figures to be one of the Giants’ most important players at the outset of the 2021 season because he’s the best defensive center fielder on the roster and the only backup shortstop. There’s still time for Zaidi to swing a trade for someone else who can provide depth behind Brandon Crawford, but until that point, Dubón figures to be a regular in center field and a key part of the infield depth chart as well. THE MUST-BE-MORE-THANPLATOON BATS Darin Ruf: When rosters expanded to 28 players for the 2020 season, the Giants were able to carry a pair of right-handed outfield bats who spent much of their time in platoons. Ruf spelled Dickerson in left field while Slater either played in right or served as the designated hitter. With roster sizes dropping back to 26 players

The San Francisco Giants’ Austin Slater hits a 3-run triple in the seventh inning against the Minnesota Twins, June 11, 2017, at AT&T Park in San Francisco. this season, the Giants need Ruf and Slater to handle right-handed pitching with more regularity and both appear capable of doing so. Ruf in particular has had strong at-bats against righties in Cactus League play and while it’s possible he’ll only start against lefties, he’ll be a key bat off the bench in the late innings. Austin Slater: The Giants may not grade Slater ahead of Yastrzemski as a defender in center field, but he’s athletic, a base stealer and a proven asset at the top of the lineup when a left-hander is on the mound. Slater has taken steps forward in recent seasons by improving his plate discipline and launch angle and now that he’s consistently hitting the ball in the air, the next way for him to prove his value is to become a more dependable bat against righties. WILL THEY HIT ENOUGH TO PLAY? LaMonte Wade Jr.: With first baseman Brandon Belt’s status for Opening Day uncertain, Wade could be first in line among position players to snag a roster spot if Belt requires a stint on the injured list. How would that work? Aside from playing all three outfield positions, the left-handed hitter with excellent plate discipline has also shown he’s a solid defender at first base this spring. The Giants love versatility, so that should increase Wade’s chances of having a chance to make an impact. Wade owns a career .211 average and .684 OPS in 95 major league at-bats, so the Giants are hoping that with more consistent opportunities, he could develop into a platoon option and potentially play his way into a bigger role. Steven Duggar: It’s hard to believe Duggar was one of the last cuts at the end of spring camp in 2018 because the Giants were so certain at the time he would be their center-fielder-of-the-future. It

took until July, 2018 before he made his major league debut, but since that time, he’s struggled to hit enough to hang onto a roster spot. Keeping both Wade and Duggar on the 40-man roster might be a challenge for the Giants at the end of spring and there’s almost no way they have room for both on the 26-man roster, but Duggar has shown enough improvements at camp to justify consideration for a job. TRIPLE-A DEPTH Joe McCarthy: McCarthy’s name is mentioned in the same breath as Connor Joe and Michael Reed as the failed outfield experiments of Zaidi’s tenure, but he’s still with the organization and trying to work his way back to the major league level. After starting in right field on Opening Day last year and going 0-for-10 with five strikeouts before being designated for assignment, McCarthy faded from the radar before emerging this spring with a stronger frame and better contact skills. Giants fans are counting McCarthy out, but don’t be surprised if he goes down to Triple-A and builds off of his impressive Cactus League showing. Jaylin Davis: The Giants can’t give up on Davis yet, right? After hitting 35 home runs in the minors in 2019, Davis showed he has the type of mammoth power that would make an impact in the middle of a major league lineup. He’s also fallen so far down the depth chart due to his struggles to make contact that it appears he could be in jeopardy of being designated for assignment at the end of the spring. Davis is increasingly similar to Mac Williamson in that when he gets in a groove at the plate, the Giants will want him on the major league roster as soon as possible to take advantage of that eye-popping potential. The sluggers are also similar in that when Davis has been given opportunities, they haven’t

The undermanned Warriors could not manage to pull out their second win in as many nights against the Grizzlies. With Stephen Curry (tailbone) out for the second straight game and Kevon Looney, James Wiseman and Eric Paschall out because of coronavirus contact tracing, the Warriors fell, 111-103, to the Grizzlies Saturday night in Memphis. Although Andrew Wiggins (20 points on 4-of-14 shooting) and Jordan Poole (26 points on 10-of-21 shooting) again carried the offense, the rest of the Warriors (22-21) could not muster much support. Golden State made 31 of 90 (34.8%) shots and fouled Memphis 25 times, leading to 27 points for their opponent. Much of this game was played at the freethrow line, where the Warriors went 28 for 34 and the Grizzlies (19-20) went 27 for 31. The Warriors trailed

Luis Alexander Basabe: A sprained wrist will keep Basabe out of action for the next five-to-seven weeks, but he was never going to factor into the Opening Day plans despite making his debut last season. At 24, Basabe still has plenty of time to continue developing and hit his way into the mix as a fourth or fifth outfielder, but given his injury and the logjam on the Giants’ depth chart, it doesn’t appear he’ll be on the major league radar soon. THE PROSPECT WHO CAN CHANGE IT ALL Heliot Ramos: At 21 years old, Ramos has been among the Giants’ most impressive performers this spring and was the only top prospect who wasn’t reassigned to minor league camp when the club made cuts on Monday. Kapler said the club wanted to reward him for his strong showing, but it’s also an

for most of the game, but Poole’s 3-pointer gave the Warriors a 100-99 lead with 2:43 to go. However, they were outscored 12-3 by Memphis down the stretch. Like in Friday’s win, the Warriors were without Curry, Wiseman and Paschall. However, Looney was a surprise scratch as he was entered into the league’s health and safety protocols Saturday afternoon. Second-year forward Alen Smailagic started in Looney’s place but was ineffective against Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas, who finished with 19 points and 15 rebounds. If there was a silver lining, it was forward Juan Toscano-Anderson, who put up 11 points, six rebounds and six assists in 24 minutes, many of them in small-ball lineups that Golden State may have to rely on for some time. As of Saturday night, it’s unclear how long Curry and Looney will remain out. Wiseman and Paschall will miss Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers at Chase Center.

Virginia was the final school to arrive at the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, landing in Indianapolis Friday afternoon following a week of quarantining and testing stemming from coronavirus-related complications. The fourth-seeded Cavaliers were among the earliest to depart the next night after a 62-58 loss to No. 13 seed Ohio, with the 2019 national champions bowing out in the first round for the second time in the last three NCAA tournaments. “We had a chance, and we wanted that,” Virginia Coach Tony Bennett said. “We prepared to best of our abilities, and again, Ohio played a better game. When they needed to make plays they made the plays, and we left some on the table, and so again, I’m grateful we got the chance. You can’t go back and change anything.” The decisive stretch began with two minutes to play in the second half when Ben Roderick

scored five consecutive points to grow the lead to 56-49 for the Bobcats, who earned an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament by winning the Mid-American Conference tournament title as a No. 5 seed. Jason Preston, the MAC tournament most valuable player, made two free throws to give Ohio a 58-51 lead with 43 second left before the Cavaliers (18-7) moved within one possession multiple times, the last 60-58 with seven seconds to play. On the Bobcats’ ensuing inbounds pass Virginia’s Sam Hauser fouled Lunden McDay, who made both foul shots to seal the upset and send Ohio (17-7) to the second round to face No. 5 seed Creighton on Monday in the West Region. Hauser led Virginia with 15 points, but his 4-for-16 shooting performance highlighted the Cavaliers’ overall offensive futility. Virginia shot 35%, including just 8 for See Virginia, Page A12

Local: McElvaine scores on 50-yard run From Page A10 Brownlee Field. Quarterback Miles Meadows had touchdown passes of 19, 18, 13 and 80 yards to lead the Mustangs to victory. No individual stats for Rodriguez were available. Things got off to a rocky start for Meadows, however, as the Royals got on the board first on a picksix by Jayden Matthews. After Armijo’s Ziair McElva ine picked off another pass, the Royals had to settle for a 47-yard field goal try by Jaime Ramirez that was just short. Rodriguez then took the lead for good on Meadows’ 19-yard TD pass and the ensuing 2-point conversion. A 7-yard TD run and 2-point conversion upped the Mustangs’ lead to 16-6. McElvaine got Armijo back in the game with a 50-yard scoring run on his only carry of the game. It was all Mustangs from that point however, as the visitors added scoring runs of 4 and 2 yards, TD passes of 18, 13 and 80 yards, and a pick-six of 60 yards. Rodriguez hosts Will C.

Virginia: Dealt with Covid quarantines From Page A10 31 (25.8%) from 3-point range, got outrebounded, 38-29, and allowed 26 points in the paint. Ben Vander Plas scored a game-high 17 points for Ohio, which also got 15 from Roderick and 11 from Preston. “Everything was different,” said Hauser, a transfer from Marquette. “It wasn’t a normal college basketball year, but overall I was just happy just to be able to play and to play a pretty good number of our games, and obviously this last week has been hectic, but we were happy to have a chance to play in the tournament.” The Cavaliers trailed for the first time, 42-40, since the opening seconds when Vander Plas made the first of two straight 3-pointers with 7:44 left in

the second half. His next 3-pointer came 45 seconds later, and Bennett immediately called timeout. Vander Plas made another jumper to cap a 16-2 barrage, but Virginia brought the margin back to one possession, 49-47, with 2:59 to play with Reece Beekman’s consecutive layups and Trey Murphy III’s 3-pointer from the right wing after Dwight Wilson missed a dunk. Ohio overcame 10 turnovers and 30.4% shooting on 3-pointers to win its fourth game in a row in its first NCAA tournament since 2012. “I thought we played a pretty solid defensive game up until the last couple minutes when we had a couple big breakdowns, and they got a couple of layups at the rim,” Hauser said. “Other than that I thought we played hard on defense.

They made some tough shots, and they made crucial plays at the right time.” Simply making it to tip-off proved an arduous journey for the Cavaliers, who last played March 11 in the ACC tournament quarterfinals, beating Syracuse, 72-69, on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Beekman at Greensboro Coliseum. The next day a Virginia player tested positive, prompting the ACC’s regular season champion to withdraw before Friday night’s semifinals. The next step involved consulting with NCAA officials to determine whether playing in the NCAA tournament would be viable. The Cavaliers learned they would be able to do so with no positive tests for seven consecutive days, so players remained in quarantine in Char-

lottesville through last weekend and most of this past week. The only communication between them and Bennett during that time was electronic. Players, coaches and the athletic training staff gathered together for the first time in more than a week Friday morning at John Paul Jones Arena and traveled by bus to the airport for a charter fight to Indianapolis, where they quarantined at the team hotel for a required period. After two more rounds of negative PRC test results, the second administered after midnight Saturday, Virginia finally was able to conduct a walk-through Saturday afternoon at Assembly Hall, one of six venues hosting NCAA tournament games entirely in and around Indianapolis.

Giants: Outfield From Page A10 indication that Ramos may not be as far away from making his major league debut as we initially thought. A late-summer or September call-up still feels like the most likely scenario for Ramos, but if he crushes Double-A or Triple-A pitching at the outset of the season and forces his way onto the roster, it could blow up the current depth chart. Like so many other outfielders in Giants camp, it’s a bit unclear whether Ramos has

the range to handle center field on a full-time basis, but at least early in his career, the team might give him the chance to prove he can do it.

Library to participate in Book to Action 2021 Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Library is participating in Book to Action 2021, a grant initiative by the California Center for the Book that helps libraries tackle important issues in the community and encourage reading, community discussion and action by taking the basic book club concept and expanding it to create a series of events aimed at adults and intergenerational groups. The theme this year is “Equity” and the chosen book is “Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption” by Bryan Stevenson. The novel tells the story of a young lawyer who dedicates his life to defending the impoverished and incarcerated, especially those who have been wrongly condemned. The story presents readers with questions about race, justice and humanity. Through a series of discussions and programs, the library hopes to inspire conversations that examine how inequality affects both individual lives and the community. Americans have shown increased interest in confronting the history of racial injustice in the past year, mostly through reading and discussing books about racial inequality in our country, the library said in a press release. A Zoom book discussion on “Just Mercy” is planned from noon to 1 p.m. March 31. The discussion will last one hour and is intended for adult participants. Jane Elliott is featured in a Zoom workshop on anti-racism from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. April 5. Elliott is a teacher, lecturer and diversity trainer. She is known for her “Blue Eyes & Brown Eyes” exercise, done the first time after the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A teen discussion on “Just Mercy” is scheduled from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. April 15. The discussion should last about one hour and explore topics and themes from the book. Equal Justice Initiative’s Gabrielle Daniels will speak on criminal justice reform from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. April 16. A virtual conversation with Ibram X. Kendi, author of “How to Be An Antiracist,” will take place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. April 21. The event is in collaboration with See Library, Page B2

Meet Pat Calabro, a pixel and pour painter

Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Pat Calabro, a featured artist at the Solano Town Center Gallery, spent three decades in the computer field. But, it wasn’t until the housing crash of 2008 that she began to explore making art on a computer. She recently joined the FairfieldSuisun Visual Arts Association after learning about its gallery. A friend told her about the gallery. “I had no idea about this little gallery,” she said. “It’s a local gem.” Calabro creates on an iPad using Procreate. Hence, her website, pixelpat.art. “For most of my life, I have differentiated myself with humor and hard work,” she writes on the website. “I had no idea how important art would become to my life until I retired. I merged my computer experience and art to obtain a graphic design certificate.” Then, she moved on to a “pour paint” technique. That website is pourpat.com. The method employs fluid paints poured directly onto the chosen substrate and manipulated by tilting or pushing the paint. She has displayed both at the Solano Town Center Gallery. Calabro is putting much of her artwork on glass. The finished product shows brush strokes. The Procreate program offers her the opportunity to do layers on her creations. On a recent day, serving as docent at the gallery, she demonstrated how she creates and changes things without having to start over. She has a studio at home, with a

“Mask” is a triptych by artist Pat Calabro. desk where her iPad sits as she creates. Abstract is a favorite. Why? “Because you can see what you want to see,” she said. Calabro prefers her art under her control. She took some courses from a representation painter and found it too restricting. Representation always involves a certain degree of abstraction – that is, the taking away of one characteristic or more of the original. Creating art, she said, causes her endorphins to go crazy. “Creating art from an emotional place can be a good thing, but the downside of working without a plan is that I sometimes wind up with too much intensity in my work,” she writes on her website. “I tone down some areas to make places for the eye to rest. I am learning that my art is a process and

Fussbudget to Feminist,” the first exhibition to focus exclusively on the outspoken, strongwilled Peanuts character, and “Greetings, Charlie Brown! The Peanuts-Hallmark Connection.” Perhaps one of the most

dramatic changes visitors will experience is on the second floor in the Biographical Gallery. Two early murals, “Running Snoopy” and “Charlie Brown” (as a cowboy), created by Schulz inside of his home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the late 1950s, have been removed from their original home and installed into the gallery walls. New curated cases in the gallery feature builtin drawers for the public to peruse Schulz’s correspondence, personal effects and sketches from the museum’s archives, and an updated presentation of Schulz’s influences,

Do not let taxes drive your financial decisions T

Legoland California/TNS

Legoland California will reopen in April under new statewide rules limiting capacity.

Legoland California reopening April 1 Tribune Content Agency SAN DIEGO — Legoland California, which was forced to shut down a year ago because of the pandemic, will reopen April 1 under new statewide rules that sharply limit capacity, it announced Friday. The Carlsbad park’s strategy is to start with a more limited reopening that it has dubbed Park Preview Days, which will include access to select rides and attractions for a priority group of Legoland hotel guests, annual pass holders and existing ticket holders who were impacted when the park closed last year. A wider reopening for the general public is planned for April 15, when the park will also open up its Sea Life aquarium and Chima Water Park. Rides that will be open on April 1 include Driving School, Lego Technic Coaster, Fairy Tale Brook, and Coastersaurus. Families will also be able to take advantage of socially distanced char-

acter meet-and-greets, live entertainment and Miniland U.S.A. Still more rides and attractions will open up on April 15. “It’s been a long and challenging year for all of us and we are extremely excited to be able to start reopening our Resort not only to our guests so they can build family memories, but for our staff who have been patiently waiting to return to work,” said Legoland California Resort President Kurt Stocks. Under the new guidelines announced earlier this month by Gov. Gavin Newsom and state public health officials, theme parks are limited to 15 percent capacity in counties that are in the red tier, which San Diego officially entered Wednesday. Only in-state visitors will be allowed, indoor dining will be prohibited, and visitors will have to buy their tickets online. Also required is weekly Covid-19 testing of workers.

In other words, raising the tax level does not mean that the taxes arrive immediately. You do not pay taxes on a gain until you sell the stock. Suddenly tax decisions could have an unduly large effect on sound financial decisions. The discussion of social equity, that is, leveling ordinary income and investment income tax rates, addresses the argument over preferential treatment of one group over another. But keep in mind that slowing the rate of collection can pose its own problems. For example, capital gains tax revenues from Silicon Valley have bolstered California’s budget on many occasions, including the pandemic. Higher taxes could also present financial problems for California with its own tax rules. People can move, as evidenced by the decisions of a growing number of companies to leave the state, not to mention many people moving out of the state. When you can work virtually from anywhere, you have more choices. The risk for California is that higher tax rates do not guarantee more revenue. My final point is that for each of you as individuals, taxes are part of your decision, but only part. You should make financial decisions with due consideration for all factors. Do not let the tax tail wag the dog.

Today’s birthday If you ever doubted it before, this solar return will reinforce the concept: This world is for you. You’ll participate with the reverence, responsibility and pride of ownership. You’ll be the recipient of an honor. The pursuit of a curiosity will blossom into a full-blown mission. New friends educate and entertain. Sagittarius and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 22, 1, 11 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just because nobody objects to an idea doesn’t mean it’s a good one. Controversy gives things heat, which makes things happen. You’ll thrive on the energy of diverse opinions and opposing points of view. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A problem has increased your awareness to the point where you see a pattern that others don’t notice. More remarkably, you have the insight to understand what the pattern reveals and apply it to your solution. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It does sound simple: Know what makes success and follow that plan. And yet, there are wild cards to navigate. For instance, the tools, resources and abilities are not yet at your disposal. Go forward in faith. They will be. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In today’s situation, words – however eloquent, apt or well-delivered they may be – will not suffice. Everyone will be watching what you do for cues to their own behavior. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s like trying to park your car into a tight spot. Getting in doesn’t mean you’re going to get out, and you might irk the owner of the car to your left. Why set yourself up for future difficulties? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People go about their business intent on armoring their vulnerabilities and hiding weaknesses, but that will not stop you from seeing. In fact, your compassionate eye will be drawn to the cover-up. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Alert: What flies in on tiny wings and lands on you with the enchanting lightness of a butterfly will, in fact, be a humongous responsibility. Perhaps it’s worthwhile. Just know that if you agree to it, this will take up a nice hunk of life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The sun came up, but there are people around you who still need someone to turn on the lights. Be that person. You already have your hand on the switch. All you need to do is give it a flick. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are still so many “firsts” to be had that spending a day without executing one almost seems like a waste to you. You’ll peruse a whole host of possibilities before the sun sets. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are not immune to the reaction of others, and were you so, it would be difficult to do such things as make money or contribute to mutually pleasing experiences. That said, only a few opinions really matter today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You enjoy those relationships that are always evolving, never static. This could technically describe all of them, though some move faster than others, as you’ll witness today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While there’s nothing you can do to ensure tomorrow goes to plan, keeping track of what did and didn’t work in the past gives you greater control over the impactful elements. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Matthew Broderick will be a reader in the upcoming documentary “The Gettysburg Address,” the complete story about one of the most formative speeches in American history. As an artist, Broderick embodies the flexibility of Mercury and Mars in Pisces. One never quite knows where his talents will pop up – a musical, cartoon, comedy or tear-jerking drama.

World TB Day M Shai Davis

Special to the Daily Republic

arch 24 is World Tuberculosis Day. This day provides an opportunity to focus attention on the health consequences of TB, as well as an understanding that treating latent TB infection is an effective strategy to reduce the spread of TB. This year’s theme is titled “The Clock is Ticking” to remind us that the fight against TB continues and to ensure continued access to prevention, treatment and care toward eliminating the disease. TB is one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases and too many people still suffer from TB disease. More than 13 million people in the United States, including more than 2 million Californians, are estimated to have latent TB infection which, without treatment, could progress to active, infectious TB disease. TB continues to be a challenge in Solano County, where case rates have been increasing since 2013. Solano County ranks as the fifth-highest TB case rate in California, and one of 12 counties with higher TB rates than the state as a whole. While there have been fewer TB referrals that came into Solano Public Health recently, from 7.2 per 100,000 in 2019 to 6.4 cases per 100,000 in 2020, this is

More than 13 million people in the United States, including more than 2 million Californians, are estimated to have latent TB infection which, without treatment, could progress to active, infectious TB disease. likely due to a shift in focus toward the Covid-19 pandemic and not a true decrease of TB disease. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by a germ that is spread from person to person through the air. When a person with infectious TB coughs or sneezes, droplets that have Mycobacterium tuberculosis are expelled into the air. If somebody else inhales the air containing these droplets, that person may become infected with TB. However, not everyone who gets infected with TB bacteria gets sick. This results in two TB-related health conditions – the latent TB infection and the active TB disease. Individuals with latent TB infection are infected with M. tuberculosis and are not showing any symptoms or sickness. People who have latent TB infection are not infectious and do not cause the spread of TB to others. However, without treatment, about 5% to 10% of individuals with latent TB infection will develop TB disease at

some point in their lives, especially in the first few years after infection or when their immune systems are weakened. These individuals usually get a positive skin test or blood test result for TB infection but the TB bacteria in their body are inactive. Individuals with latent TB infection still need to get treated to prevent TB disease. Those with active TB disease, meanwhile, have an immune system that is being overwhelmed by the TB bacteria multiplying in the body. The symptoms of TB disease include unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, night sweats, fever, fatigue and chills. Symptoms of TB of the lungs include coughing for three weeks or longer, coughing up of blood and chest pain. Individuals with active TB disease are infectious and are able to spread TB to others. If not treated, this can lead to serious conditions and can even lead to death. The good news is that TB can be prevented or cured, and knowing the signs and symptoms of this disease is important in eliminating this disease. On World TB Day, we call upon our health care partners, locally, regionally and globally, to continue to work together and educate the community about the importance of eliminating TB and to provide the highest standards of care for those ill from the disease. Shai Davis is a Health Educator at Solano Public Health.

Jesuits pledge $100M for descendants of people the Catholic order once enslaved The Washington Post WASHINGTON — One of the Catholic Church’s most well-known religious orders has pledged $100 million for the descendants of hundreds of enslaved people they once profited from – a significant move toward atoning for its slavery as the United States continues to reckon with its past. Those descendants and the Jesuit order of priests on Monday announced the creation of the Descendants Truth & Reconciliation Foundation to fund descendants’ educations and support programs that promote racial reconciliation and justice. The nonprofit will ultimately seek to raise $1 billion through other private donations. Joseph Stewart, a descendant and the foundation’s acting president, said the descendants approached the Jesuits with a vision for atonement that would benefit

Stewart said. Institutions are evaluating their participation in slavery and its legacy, which has snaked its way through U.S. history through segregation and institutional racism. As nationwide calls for reparations grow louder, the Jesuits’ foundation is framing its structure as an alternative to cash-based payments that instead invests in the future.

automobile accident or an improvised explosive device explosion during combat does. “It seems to be that element of trauma that might explain who goes on to develop longer-lasting symptoms,” Campbell said. Symptoms like headaches, sensitivity to light and sound, malaise, fatigue, irritability, depression, anxiety, and dizziness can be associated with a traumatic brain injury, but are not traumatic brain injury-specific.

W R IGH T-PAT T ERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio — The U.S. Air Force officially accepted the first F-15EX from the Boeing Co. March 10 at the company’s St. Louis facility. The new fighter is a two-seat aircraft – though operable by a single pilot – with fly-by-wire flight controls, digital cockpit displays and advanced avionics systems, including the Eagle Passive/Active Warning and Survivability System, an electronic warfare upgrade also being fielded on F-15E Strike Eagle models. “This is a big moment for the Air Force,” said Col. Sean Dorey, F-15EX program manager with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Fighters and Advanced Aircraft Directorate, responsible for the acquisition, modernization and sustainment of the aircraft. “With its large weapons capacity, digital backbone and open architecture, the F-15EX will be a key element of our tactical fighter fleet and complement fifth-generation assets. In addition, it’s capable of carrying hypersonic weapons, giving it a niche role in future nearpeer conflicts.” The Air Force plans to acquire 144 F-15EXs from Boeing, to replace F-15C/D models and refresh the F-15 fleet. At an average age of more than 37 years, the F-15C/D fleet is fast approaching the end of its useful life and operating on the margins of structural integrity. The F‑15EX provides a costeffective and expedient solution to refresh the F‑15C/D fleet and augment the F-15E fleet to meet National Defense Strategy capability and capacity requirements well into the 2040s, while preserving aircraft availability from significant impacts that service life extension and modernization programs would have on the F-15C/D fleet. The process to acquire the F-15EX aircraft started in February 2019, when Gen. David Goldfein, then-Air Force chief of staff, signed the F-15EX Rapid Fielding Requirement Document to address readiness issues with an aging F-15 fleet. From there, the directorate’s F-15 Program Office developed the acquisition strategy, awarded the contract, conducted design and verification reviews, and worked with Boeing to

Defense boasts 50K vaccines per day WASHINGTON, D.C. — Department of Defense vaccination teams are doing their part to protect Americans, reaching the milestone of getting 500,000 shots in arms in under a month, Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby said March 11. The first vaccination team deployed to Los Angeles last month. The team soon hit its stride and were quickly inoculating 6,000 people per day. More teams – large and small – deployed since then with two more – in Chicago and Greensboro, North Carolina – beginning full operation March 11. Defense Depar tment personnel tallied 50,000 vaccinations given at the 17 DOD-supported sites March 10. These numbers will grow. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III authorized a total of 17 teams of active duty personnel to deploy in support of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. — Daily Republic wire services

An emotional toll

Severity of brain injuries key to treatment Military Health System Communications Office WASHINGTON,D.C.— The section chief for prevention and early intervention at the Defense Health Agency’s Psychological Health Center of Excellence says traumatic brain injuries and the psychological effects of experiencing a traumatic event can go hand in hand, but they don’t have to. Marjorie Campbell, a clinical psychologist at the Silver Spring, Maryland-based center, has studied the overlap between psychological health and traumatic brain injuries extensively, including being embedded at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton’s Concussion Care Clinic in California. The key, she said, is figuring out which adverse outcomes can be attributed to traumatic brain injuries, which can be attributed to conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder, and where there is potential overlap. “There are three severity levels of (traumatic brain injuries) – mild, moderate, and severe,” Campbell said. “Over 82% of (traumatic brain injuries) in the military are actually considered mild and are better known as concussions.” The severity of a trau-

A soldier assigned to Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, conducts battle drill training at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Feb. 10. Psychological Health Center of Excellence section chief Marjorie Campbell said injuries experienced in battle can result in both traumatic brain injury and conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder. matic brain injury is based on factors including length of loss of consciousness and postevent amnesia, with concussions being at the low end of severity. Although technically true, referring to concussions as traumatic brain injuries carries with it an expectation that there is no chance of recovery, which is usually not the case, she explained. “Within three weeks or so, 90% of individuals sustaining concussions will recover,” Campbell said. “Only about 10% go on to develop post-con-

cussion syndrome.” Campbell specializes in studying that 10%. “When they don’t recover, we want to know why,” Campbell said. “What’s in that group that’s continuing to have post-concussive symptoms versus those that get better? I strongly believe it’s the psychological health component.” She explained that the possibility likely rests in how that individual sustained the injury. A fall or a sports injury obviously does not carry with it the amount of psychological trauma that an

Program seeks to help navigate transition Air Force News Service SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. — The Department of Veterans Affairs-St. Louis Transition and Care Management office helps retiring and separating service members make the move from military to civilian life by providing Veterans Affairs health care registration services for those who are within one year of discharge or retirement. “Transitioning can be a very difficult time,” said Liz Wilde, program coordinator. “On the one hand, individuals may be excited to start a new journey. Yet taking off the uniform for the first time can also be pretty scary. That’s where we come in. Our office takes the journey with the member. “What we do is have the member fill out a simple form that

takes about three to five minutes. With that form, I can coordinate the member’s (Veterans Affairs) health care registration. At the same time, we can share information about other (Veterans Affairs) benefits the member is entitled to, as well as educate them on the variety of services the (Veterans Affairs) offers.” To be eligible to receive Veterans Affairs health care benefits, the member needs to have two years of consecutive, active-duty service or have been deployed under Title 10 orders. “Not all situations are the same,” Wilde said. “We always encourage servicemembers who are unsure about their eligibility to ask.” Wilde also emphasized that the process isn’t cumbersome or lengthy. “I think it’s a myth that to

outstanding capability for our nation for years to come,” Bunch said. Following its acceptance, the new aircraft will be flown to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, for testing. A second F-15EX will be delivered to Eglin by the end of April. The other six aircraft in the first batch will be delivered to Eglin in fiscal year 2023 and will undergo operational testing. To expedite the testing needed to declare the F-15EX ready for operations, the team will use previous testing data from F-15 foreign military sales variants and U.S.-only subsystems and Operational Flight Program software. Additional aircraft are on track for delivery in fiscal years 2024 and 2025 to Kingsley Field and Portland Air National Guard Bases, both in Oregon.

These symptoms are, however, more prevalent in people who have suffered both a concussion and psychological trauma at the same time, Campbell noted. “What people don’t realize is that there isn’t a strict division between the consequences of experiencing a traumatic brain injury, that seem physically concrete and therefore compelling, and an emotional trauma, which is invisible and might seem ‘airy-fairy,’ ” Campbell said. Watching the World Trade Center fall, being in a motor vehicle accident or experiencing an intense firefight while in combat have the potential to change the brain “without being hit on the head,” Campbell said.

know is that a bump on the head can distress you and can cause some mild symptoms that should resolve themselves relatively quickly,” Campbell said. “In the event that you’ve had a traumatic event, then you’re already compounding the concussion with psychological trauma. If symptoms last longer than four weeks or get worse, the psychological part of it needs to be tended to.” Individuals with lasting symptoms may not necessarily have post-traumatic stress disorder, she said, but they’re probably experiencing post-concussive symptoms. The bottom line is that a person suffering from the combination of a concussion and a traumatic event usually fares worse.

person with (post-traumatic stress disorder) and a concussion generally does worse,” Campbell said. “But it’s counterproductive to over-focus on the concussion when they should have recovered from the acute effects within the first month. If they’re not recovering, there’s a different reason than the concussion.” Campbell also said that the study of psychological health is integral to the study of traumatic brain injuries and understanding what they are. Her advice to anyone who experiences the short-term impacts of a concussion, whether that be the individual or those around them, is that the symptoms should go away. If they don’t, that may be an indicator of another issue. “The main thing to

“Trauma alone can change the brain, but when you have the double whammy of a traumatic event and a concussion, determining to which degree psychological aspects versus brain aspects affect them can be difficult to figure out,” Campbell said. “We try and do that and what research has found is that it’s the psychological health component that causes these lingering symptoms.” The tendency, she said, is to separate the two. This does a disservice to everyone, especially the patient. “The psychological component is probably the bigger burden in terms of outcomes.

Mom provides headstones for families Motivate our students to learn grieving loved ones lost to police Tribune Content Agency MINNEAPOLIS — Kimberly Handy-Jones knew she wanted to create something to honor the memory of her son Cordale, who was killed in 2017 in a confrontation with St. Paul police. But it wasn’t until she was visiting the North Chicago cemetery where both her son and late husband were put to rest that she was struck with an idea. “I was crying and cleaning the gravestone and God just said, ‘Here it is,’” Handy-Jones said. Handy-Jones founded the Cordale Q. Handy In Remembrance of Me Foundation, an organization that provides headstones and financial grants for families across the country who have lost loved ones to police and community violence. While monetary assistance has been a welcome relief to families, it has been Handy-Jones’ emotional support to a sisterhood of grieving mothers and family members that advocates say has set her apart. This week, four years after her son’s death, Handy-Jones was on the east side of St. Paul near the site where he was fatally shot to host a rally and short march surrounded by about 100 supporters and activists from Black Lives

Jeff Wheeler/Minneapolis Star Tribune/TNS

Del Shea Perry presented Kimberly Handy-Jones with a pair of red Timberland boots, her son Cordale Handy’s favorite brand, to honor her signature rallying cry of “Boots on the ground!” Perry’s son, Hardel Sherrell, died in police custody in the Beltrami County jail in 2018. Matter Minnesota and other groups. As the trial of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin continues over the next several weeks, Handy-Jones encouraged others to “keep their boots on the ground,” a motto for her organization, and continue to fight and speak out against police brutality and systemic racism. “God said, ‘I’m going to take your hurt and turn it into purpose,’ ” HandyJones said to the crowd. Family member after family member, often with tears in their eyes, spoke of how Handy-Jones reached out to them after a loved one was killed, offering late-night phone conversations and other support. “For those of you all that don’t understand

what that’s like [to lose someone], let me just say it is very difficult,” said Del Shea Perry, mother of Hardel Sherrell, who died in the Beltrami County jail in 2018 and whose death is being investigated.”Kim not only puts her boots on the ground, but my God she be running in them.” As they embraced in front of a mural of Cordale Handy painted on the side of the Mañana restaurant near where he was killed, Perry presented Handy-Jones with a pair of Timberland boots in Handy’s favorite color – red – with his picture attached. Handy, 29, was killed early in the morning on March 15, 2017, after police responded to 911 calls about him firing

gunshots in an apartment during a dispute with his girlfriend, according to an investigation by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. When officers confronted Handy, he raised his gun twice at them and police shot him, investigators said. An unloaded pistol with an extended magazine was found near Handy’s body. His girlfriend had told police before the shooting that Handy had a gun that was unloaded and he was high on drugs. She urged officers not to hurt him, according to the investigation. Matilda Smith, mother of Jaffort Smith who was fatally shot by St. Paul police in 2016 after police said he fired on them, recounted how her family had received a headstone from the foundation and acknowledged the cross that Handy-Jones has continued to carry. “We here in Minnesota will always be thankful for you,” Smith said. Handy-Jones has been a vocal advocate for police accountability, often making the 6-hour drive from Chicago to the Twin Cities to support other families and to host an annual weekend of activities that includes therapy discussions and a banquet for families who have lost someone in encounters with police.

Murray Bass Plan to live was a “C” student. She became one of the top team members, earning four medals for her work. Let me repeat. The reason is that Allen and his teams have demonstrated some truths America would do well to learn. The first truth is that leadership is key to success in life. The members of Allen’s teams understand that there are no excuses. None will be accepted. The second truth is that children are far more capable than we allow them to be in our education system. We set our achievement bar low and offer no significant consequences when kids don’t even make that. I have been looking at The Nation’s Report Card for about 25 years. California has ranked in the lowest 3% in achievement all of that time. Several years ago, they took another step promoting “dumbing down” by adopting the Common Core system. The Vallejo City School District appears to accept low achievement, lack of achievement. It looks like they promote by age. I see the opposite in Allen and his demonstrated performance of kids. His teams’ achievements are hope for America’s youth and America’s future. They are a clear demonstration of what is possible. Murray Bass of Fairfield can be reached at 720-5139 or mzb602@gmail.com.

By gary Larson

recently had a visit from one of my favorite people, someone for whom I have the greatest respect. Allen Tong is a teacher at a small high school in Lemoore, in California’s Central Valley. Allen is the Academic Decathlon teacher at the school. His team has won the County Championship nine years in a row, the state twice in a row and the nationals twice in a row. That’s remarkable for a school of fewer than 300 students. I have used Allen and his teams as examples of what is possible and why. His teams’ competition has been schools of up to 1,500 students. No excuses. It is strictly up to them. The can-do, must-do environment brings out abilities the students didn’t know they have. The second truth is far more significant – the leadership element. It is important because it illustrates that there is an innate capability of most of our kids that society has ignored. Many times intentionally. Think about it. It is impossible to make a student achieve if there is no ability to do so. You don’t create that kind of ability. You motivate the kids to use what they have. For folks who are not familiar with the make-up of Academic Decathlon teams, they are made up of three “A” students, three “B” students and three “C” students. The letters are measures of prior achievement, what the kids have done, not what they are capable of doing. Allen told me the story of a young girl who wanted to be a member of a winning team. She
