FAIRFIELD — Children and teens in the Travis School District returned to limited in-person instruction Friday at the district’s campuses and in coming weeks will double their time on campus.

School district trustees adopted a plan March 9 to return all students choosing hybrid instruction to in-person learning in a 25% hybrid learning model, spread over four days each week, where students are placed into small groups and attend classes on campus one day a week.

They will move to 50% in-class instruction April 12, when students in designated small groups will be on campus two days a week.

Children and teens in hybrid learning groups will receive instruction remotely on days they are not assigned to be on campus. All students will take See Return, Page A9

LOS ANGELES — Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Koreatown on Saturday for a unity rally and march down Olympic Boulevard to demand an end to the surge in anti-Asian hate and violence, including the Atlanta-area killings earlier this month that have stoked fear and outrage in the community.

Drums and chants filled the air as demonstrators marched and lifted signs saying, “#Stop Asian Hate” and “Enough is enough.”

The event was part of a national day of action promoted by the ANSWER coalition, with similar rallies taking place in other cities in California and across the U.S., including

You can set adaptive

cruise control on the freeway and it keeps you in the flow of traffic, sounding an alarm if you’re approaching anything too fast.

It’s kind of magical. And it makes you drive faster.

First the magic. My 16-year-old Prius has standard cruise control, which is handy, but still requires the driver to be 100% engaged (well, maybe 95% engaged, depending on what you’re listening to while driving). Mrs. Brad’s 9-year-old Prius has the adaptive cruise control, which allows you to relax and steer while it keeps your spacing correct. For example: We once drove from Portland to the Interstate 505 turnoff (which takes you to Vacaville) on Interstate 5. It was nine hours of steering, which was so much easier than braking

and accelerating constantly.

However . . .

Over the past decade or so, I realized that Mrs. Brad drives faster than me, which is opposite our personalities: She’s much more relaxed and quiet while I’m always in a hurry.

Something led to this divergence and I prefer to think it’s not that I’m an old man who drives 45 mph on the freeway.

Now I think I know why.

Adaptive cruise control.

To be clear: The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study found that 77% of drivers without adaptive cruise control were guilty of speeding, while 95% of those with adaptive cruise control were speeders.

So it’s not like it turns people who drive below the speed limit into Mario Andretti (Hey! A 50-year-old pop culture reference!). It’s more like adding

Brown pelicans can inspire awe, laughs and concern for their environment Dave Brinker, central region ecologist with Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources.

Warm weather lasts beyond summer. With islands free of raccoons and other pelican-chick predatorsand water full of fish called menhaden to eat, “pelicans found the Bay and liked it,” Brinker said.

Most brown pelicans migrate south for the winter. Even there, sudden cold snaps can happen as they did this year.

On Oak Island, North Carolina, in late February, Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter treated 16 juvenile brown pelicans having problems moving and eating because of frostbite on their feet and in their gular pouches.

“Some young pelicans make poor choices,” said Mary Ellen Rogers, the shelter’s founder. Adult pelicans typically know to head to warmer areas before getting frostbite.

Rogers’s patients are being released now that the temperatures are consistently above 40 degrees.

“Most of the frostbite issues are mild and healing. Only a couple might lose enough web tissue to (prevent) release,” she said.

Brown pelicans also face habitat loss as rising sea levels and more frequent storms flood their breeding sites.

“They are constantly searching for suitable nesting habitats,” said coastal biologist Ruth Boettcher of Virginia’s Department of Wildlife Resources.

Five years ago, a storm washed out their

The Washington Post It’s hard not to giggle at the clumsy, clownish walk of a brown pelican.

But their graceful flying in precise formations is awe-inspiring.

Bill Portlock, a retired educator with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, became interested in them years ago when he first saw them “plunge diving” - making a headfirst dive from as much as 65 feet up, zooming arrowlike with folded wings into water for food. Their expanding gular (throat) pouches can scoop up to three gallons of water while catching fish.

The quirky birds will soon return to the Chesapeake Bay after wintering on the Southern coast.

They are fascinating to observe but even more interesting after learning about their survival story.

In 1970, brown pelicans were put on the U.S. government’s endangered species list. The insectkilling chemical DDT, which had been used for several decades, contaminated fish, the pelicans’ main food source. The chemical harmed the pelicans’ abilities to breed.

“Their eggshells were too thin to allow successful incubation by their parents,” Portlock said.

DDT was banned in 1972.

Not regularly seen around the Bay until 1987, there were 63 breeding pairs of brown pelicans in 1993 and more than 900 pairs by the late 1990s.

They were taken off the endangered species list in 2009, and today there are more than 2,500 pairs.

“Climate change creates an expanded breeding season,” said

Ann Cameron Siegal/The Washington Post

The brown pelican can use its gular (throat) to gulp fish, and it can plunge 65 feet through the air to catch fish in the water. usual sandy ground-nesting site on Wreck Island (a barrier island on Virginia’s Eastern Shore).

Pelicans moved into large shrubs and small trees typically occupied by herons and ibises.

“There is constant competition for higher ground,” Boettcher said.

That nesting adaptability helps. “Forty percent of all water birds in the Bay are declining in population because of habitat loss, but pelicans and cormorants are increasing,” Portlock said.

But scientists need to keep an eye on the birds, which Portlock called “early messengers” of how their environment is doing. A rise or decline in population can indicate environmental changes or the presence of toxins that could also affect humans.

“They’re not only fun to watch,” he said, “they can give us a window into their world and ours.”

Hello, Mrs. Brad!

I now feel better. After having to explain myriad speeding tickets (“they caught me on the speed trap on the Texas Street corner by Armijo,” “an airplane used radar to track me on Highway 101,” “the cop asked me why I was trying to illegally pass and I told him I was actually falling asleep”), I feel superior. She drives faster.

She speeds more.

That it’s not her fault is no more a defense than the fact that I was caught by an airplane on Highway 101 made it not my fault.

Trust me. I went to court and lost that one.

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Travis Air Force Base and NorthBay Healthcare partnered this month for a lightning-fast vaccination drive that targeted some of those most susceptible to the ravages of Covid-19.

Lt. Col. Lance Edmonds, a radiologist at David Grant U.S. Air Force Medical Center, received a notice March 12 that NorthBay Healthcare was offering 1,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to Travis Air Force Base military treatment facility beneficiaries – specifically those older than 75.

“At the time not a lot of regular people were getting the vaccine,” Edmonds said. “The medical folks here got it but it wasn’t yet being offered to those in that age group.”

NorthBay was unable to fill the slots due to online scheduling being the only option to make a vaccination appointment, according to a press release. Members of this age group traditionally are low utilizers of technology.

“They don’t have cellphones and they don’t use computers, so they don’t have email,” Edmonds said.

The question then arose, how do you get the message out to the 75-plus age group that they See Airmen, Page A4

A pair of pedestrians wearing face masks walk through downtown Fairfield, Friday.

FAIRFIELD — Solano County ended the week with a continued upward trajectory in new Covid-19 cases Friday, passing yet another milestone when it topped 31,000 confirmed cases overall.

The daily case count countywide increased by just shy of 30 per day during the threeday period from March 19 and Monday, then added 31 cases Tuesday, 42 Wednesday, 44 Thursday and 58 Friday.

Solano County’s case count since the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic sat at 31,009 Friday afternoon.

The number of active cases increased by 19 Friday to 277 while hospitalizations for Covid-19 increased by one to 18, the county reported. The total number of deaths attributed at least in part to the disease remained unchanged at 191.

Key indicators of the local health care system’s ability to handle serious cases of the disease were mixed day over day, with the countywide ICU capacity up by 1% Friday to 36% and the ventilator capacity down 2% to 76%.

The seven-day testing positivity rate climbed from 5% Thursday to 5.8% Friday.

Vallejo saw the most new cases Friday, 21, to take its total to 9,190. Vacaville had 15 new cases for a total of 8,118. Suisun City added nine cases (2,110), Fairfield added eight cases (8,459), Benicia added four cases (890) and Dixon’s case count increased by one (1,795).

David Paul Kepple

Nov. 19, 1949 — March 15, 2021

David ‘Dave’ Paul Kepple, of Fairfield, passed away in his home unexpectedly (we thought he’d outlive us all) on March 15, 2021. Dave was born to Violet ‘Bobbi’ and Vernon Kepple in Chico, California, on Nov. 19, 1949.

He was a lifelong resident of Fairfield, a graduate of Armijo High School and a union man with a long career as a mechanic, boilermaker and ironworker.

Dave was a hardworking, skillful and charismatic but complicated man.

He was a lifelong devotee of shooting pool, watching westerns, doing side jobs for friends, listening to golden oldies and getting into trouble.

Later in his life, he loved being a grandpa and spending time with his daughters.

He is survived by his daughters, Paula, Kimberly, Amber and Kelsey; numerous grandchildren; and greatgrandchildren; and his ex-old lady, Alice.

As a public memorial service was not possible due to Covid, please enjoy a free French dip (while supplies last) in Dave’s memory from Joe’s Buffet, located on Texas Street in Fairfield (they’re on Dave – just mention him when you order).

Jonny ‘John’ Wayne Lanning Oct. 25, 1944 — March 14, 2021

John Wayne Lanning, 76, passed away Sunday, March 14, 2021. John died peacefully with his beloved wife, Tina, by his side.

John was born in Little Rock, navy veteran Arkansas, on Oct. 25, 1944, to father Ed and mother Irene. He grew up with three sisters, Wanda, Darla and Janet, and a brother, Gary.

John’s hobbies included ceramics and riding his motorcycle.

John was a contractor who also worked as a building inspector for the city of Napa. He remodeled many homes in Napa and Solano counties.

John overcame many challenges during his life. He loved spending time with family and friends, enjoying good meals and telling jokes. He was known for his quick wit and contagious laugh.

He will be greatly missed.

John’s memory will be kept alive by family including his wife of 31 years, Tina; children, Joseph, Rachel and her husband, Federico; stepchildren, who he embraced as his own, Amy and husband, Gary, Shawn and wife, Aja; nine grandchildren; and one great-granddaughter.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

Count From Page A3 There were no new cases reported in Rio Vista (348) or in the unincorporated areas of the county (99).

The county does not post updates on weekends.

The next update is scheduled Monday afternoon.

Solano County remains in the red tier in the state’s color-codedCovid-19 monitoring system.

That system designates the purple tier for counties where transmission of the novel coronavirus is considered to be widespread.

Shutdown orders for counties in the purple tier are the most severe. The red tier is for counties with a substantial spread of the virus. The orange tier designates moderate virus transmission, while the yellow tier is reserved for counties where the spread of the virus is deemed to be minimal.

A number of nearby counties have shifted to the orange tier. Neighboring Yolo County is among them. Marin County, San

Francisco County, San Mateo County and Santa Clara County in the Bay Area have also moved to the orange tier.

Restrictions to slow the spread of the virus are eased as counties move from purple to red, red to orange and orange to yellow. The state this week reported that it is developing criteria for a new green tier with even fewer restrictions than the yellow tier.

Only two counties are in the yellow tier: Alpine and Sierra.

Most people who have the disease experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death.

The vast majority of people recover. The World Health Organization reports people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.

FA I R F I E LD — Members of nine fraternities and sororities representing the National Pan-Hellenic Council Solano County collected and delivered food donations Saturday to the Fairfield Police Activities League.

The group came together with PAL as part of their shared program commitment to address food insecurity in lowincome communities and to help those who are struggling.

“Access to enough nutritious, affordable food is a huge barrier to low-income families who deserve to live healthy, vibrant lives in our community,” said National Pan-Hellenic Council Solano County President Aleisha Dobbins.

“Together, our chapters are reaching out to the PAL program to help close this gap and meet this critical need with the families and youth they are serving.”

Members of nine fraternities and sororities representing the National Pan-Hellenic Council Solano County came together with donations for the PAL Food Pantry, Saturday. reach out to people but through PAL they were able to be a conduit to get resources out to those who needed it most.

The donated food will help 25 families.

“PAL will identify those who will receive the food,” Jones said.

The members brought bags of food that included granola bars, fruit and other items. Some of the organizations donated financially so that the food could be purchased.

Heather Sanderson, PAL program manager, said she was thrilled to receive the donations for the food pantry.

The PAL Food Pantry has been an ongoing program for the past seven years. It was a resource for people if they wanted a little extra food for the week, but with the Covid-19 pandemic it

has turned into something that is very much a need for the community, Sanderson said.

“We have worked with our community partners like Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, and Food is Free Solano, to provide a variety of fresh foods,” Sanderson said. “This is great, too, because it is all new food that is snack food but also canned vegetables.”

PAL received deliveries at the beginning of the week and by the weekend all the food was gone, so Sanderson was happy to see bags of food coming into the kitchen.

“We can’t be open for our programs but one of the things that the board agreed on, was that the food pantry must stay open during the pandemic,” she said.

Sanderson said that Covid-19 has affected so

many people who were doing fine but lost their jobs and have found themselves in a situation that they never thought they would be in and that they were relying on others for their groceries.

“I see a lot of people and they are embarrassed to be going to a food bank,” she said. “We just want them to have good quality food.”

The National PanHellenic Council Solano County Greek organizations that came out to help included Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc.

organized on Friday with call teams made up of all volunteers,” Edmond said.

The vaccines were distributed to the eligible beneficiaries March 15-19.

They called 400 patients a day over a five-day period, getting more than 200 people lined up for the shots on a daily basis.

“Some people thought no one cared about them and we would never get the vaccine,” Edmond said. “They had no computer access and in many cases no family to assist.”

“Over 2,000 doses have gone out, all thanks to NorthBay,” he said. “We had people in tears on the phone thinking that they were forgotten.”

Edmonds said the volunteers did call a few

people who had already died as a result of Covid-19.

“That was upsetting,” he said.

The only requirement from NorthBay was that people who were signed up must be Solano County residents.

Travis has 150 medical personnel ready to deploy to assist with the Covid-19 pandemic.

They already have been out helping hospitals across the country in most metro areas.

“We never expected this type of emergency to happen,” Edmond said.

Most people who have the disease experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults

and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death.

A total of 191 deaths have thus far been attributed countywide to Covid-19 with residents 65 and older disproportionately represented among those who have died – accounting for 77% of the recorded deaths but just 12% of the county’s overall count of confirmed cases.

The vast majority of people recover. The World Health Organization reports people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.

Board denies Vallejo killer’s bid for freedom Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — A man convicted of first-degree murder more than a quarter-century ago was denied freedom this week when a parole board found he remains a danger to the public.

Sean D. Moore, 50, is serving a sentence of 29 years to life at Folsom State Prison,

where the parole hearing occurred Thursday.

Solano County Chief Deputy District Attorney Sharon Henry opposed the release of Moore, arguing that he currently poses an unreasonable risk for future violence if released on parole, the District Attorney’s Office reported Friday. Moore testified in support of his request for release.

The parole board ruled

that Moore can seek parole once again in five years.

Moore, who was identified as a drug dealer, and two others who were armed with firearms entered a Vallejo home July 19, 1994, searching for Paul Cousins, who allegedly stole drugs from Moore.

They found Cousins hiding in one of the bedrooms.

Cousins tried to flee, but

was knocked to the floor

by Moore and the other two assailants. Cousins pleaded for his life and stated, “Don’t kill me. . . . I will pay you back,” according to the District Attorney’s Office.

Two shots were fired, one to the back of the head and the other to Cousins’ buttocks.

Several others were inside the home at the

A jury found Moore guilty Feb. 10, 1995, of first-degree murder and residential burglary, and also found to be true gun enhancements that were included with the

murder and burglary charges. He was sentenced May 19, 1995.

Moore was eligible for parole in January 2013.

He voluntarily waived his right to a parole hearing for a year in August 2012. He was denied parole for seven years in October 2013. A parole hearing scheduled in September was postponed to Thursday.

2 killed, at least 8 injured in Virginia Beach shootings

China signs 25-year deal with Iran in challenge to US Tribune Content Agency China and Iran signed an overarching deal aimed at charting the course of their economic, political and trade relations over the next 25 years, Iranian state TV reported, in a challenge to the Biden administration.

The “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” agreement, signed in Tehran on Saturday by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, has been in the works since 2016, when President Xi Jinping became the first Chinese leader to visit the Iranian capital in over a decade.

“The document can elevate bilateral ties to a new strategic level,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a televised interview. The deal focuses on boosting private-sector collaboration and the Islamic Republic’s role in Xi’s flagship infrastructure and investment program, the Belt and Road Initiative, he said.

A draft copy of the outlines of the accord that surfaced on media last year showed plans for long-

term supply of Iranian crude to China as well as investment in oil, gas, petrochemical, renewables and nuclear energy infrastructure.

The alliance between Beijing and Tehran is a challenge to U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration as it sets about trying to rally allies against China, which Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said is the world’s “greatest geopolitical test.”

The China pact comes as efforts to revive the Iran nuclear accord with world powers are stalled.

The Biden administration has indicated that it is open to reengaging with Iran after then-President Donald Trump abandoned the deal nearly three years ago and reimposed economic sanctions, but the two sides have yet to even agree to meet.

Iran’s closer integration with China may help shore up its economy against the impact of the U.S. penalties, while sending a clear signal to the Biden administration of Tehran’s intentions. Wang Yi, who arrived in Tehran on Friday, also met with President Hassan Rouhani to discuss the nuclear deal.

Tribune Content Agency Two people were killed and at least eight were wounded in a series of shootings that took place Friday in Virginia Beach, according to authorities.

Multiple gunshots were heard in the city’s resort area at 11:22 p.m.

Friday, Virginia Beach Police said Saturday in a news release.

Eight had been brought to hospitals for gunshot wounds, some of which “range from serious to life threatening,” the release notes.

Among those wounded in the oceanfront shooting was a Virginia Beach police officer, who sustained minor injuries.

An adult female was among the deceased. She died of her injuries on the scene, according to police.

A suspect has not yet been identified and the case is still under investigation.

Virginia police also noted a related officer involved shooting, in which the male suspect also died of his wounds on the scene, according to the release, which noted the two shootings will be

The officer, whose name has not been released, has been with Virginia Beach police for five years and is a member of the department’s Special Operations Division. That officer will be put on administrative assignment pending an investigation, the department noted.

That second shooting occurred about a block away from the first, as authorities were investigating, and led to “an

Modular units could be answer for housing crisis

“From there the apartment Modular construction offers pieces are wrapped and trucked a potential solution to one of the to the construction site, where most vexing aspects of Califorthey’re assembled in a matter of nia’s housing crisis – the days, not months.” extremely high costs of building Pace said that his modules apartments meant to house can be assembled into three- to low- and moderatefive-story apartment buildings income families.

40% more quickly and 20% less Statewide, those costs expensively than traditional average about $500,000 a unit, construction, which means encompassing land costs, more bang for the buck.

Today, a Factory OS apartment house for 145 hitherto homeless residents is being assembled in downtown San Francisco in what appears to be proof of what Pace told Levin.

San Francisco Chronicle columnist Heather Knight described the project in a recent article, saying, “The project at 833 Bryant St. is being built faster and cheaper than the typical affordable housing development in San Francisco, the ones that notoriously drag on for six years or more and cost an average of $700,000 per unit.

This project will take just three years and clock in at $383,000 per unit.”

In other words, by using modular construction San Francisco could supply twice as many units for the same money.

So what’s not to like? Knight tells us what.

“At issue,” she writes, “is how the project was built so quickly: with modular units

made in a Vallejo factory. Each unit was trucked across the Bay Bridge, strung from a crane and locked in place like a giant Lego creation. San Francisco unions don’t like the method because it leaves them out, but considering the city’s extreme homelessness crisis, City Hall can’t afford to toss the idea.”

Factory OS uses unionized workers, but through an agreement with the carpenters’ union, workers perform a variety of tasks on the housing assembly line, rather than having the work divvied up among specialists, and the company employs many former prison inmates.

Politically influential construction trades unions are pushing San Francisco’s city officials to make 833 Bryant St. a one-time event rather than the beginning of a trend.

Larry Mazzola Jr., president of the San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council, is sending a letter to

Mayor London Breed and city supervisors criticizing the project’s “mistakes and over-costs.”

“The quality is crap, to put it basically,” Mazzola told Knight.

“They don’t have plumbers doing the plumbing. They don’t have electricians doing electrical. They get them from San Quentin, and they’re not trained at all. We’re going to fight vigorously with the city not to do any more of these.”

Modular housing is not a panacea for California’s housing woes, but it deals with one major factor. The question is whether politicians will embrace it or strangle it.

Use Germany for example of civic education to combat extremism, racism

A

letters to the editor

Problems evident with our new president There were two significant events in a single week, both under-reported by old media.

First, President Joe Biden attempted to divert attention from his and son Hunter’s financial ties to China and chaos on the border with Mexico; he called Russian president Vladimir Putin a “killer.” Putin came back immediately: “It takes one to know one.” Like North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, the Russians see no reason to deal with Biden.

At the same time, new Secretary of State Antony Blinken met his Chinese counterpart, Yang Jiechi, in Anchorage, Alaska, to lay plans for Biden to meet China’s president, Xi Jinping.

Blinken was ticking off the usual list of concerns – genocide of the Uighurs; theft of intellectual property – until Yang cut him off: “You are not arguing from a position of strength.” Bang!

The Chinese, too, see no point in talking with Biden.

Add to the above, the Defense Department “stand down” to harangue the troops about “extremists in the ranks.” Imagine how allies and enemies see that.

The present U.S. administration has no credibility. Every country is reassessing its relationship with us.

John Takeuchi Fairfield

California’s current carnage. (The state has laws on this matter, but the assumption is that no one is aware of them. Also seemingly unaware, or at least mum on the subject, is our vaunted superintendent of public instruction.)

As a result, our already cashstrapped educators will have to hire a gun guru to author these commandments, unless the PTA can brainstorm a few. Additionally, schools will foot the bill for paper, printing, etc. and then tax our overburdened teachers with the dissemination and collection of the letters. Plus, they may have to record the proud owners as well as the noncompliant in their little red grade books.

The only downsides (other than those listed above) are that the families with kids in multiple grades and school sites will be over killed with multiple letters. Households with urchins but with no musketry will feel victimized by this noninclusive systemic slight and will either rush out to stock up on some quality weaponry to feel better or take to the streets with righteous umbrage.

The biggest worry, however, is that citizens with no school-age ragamuffins, being uninformed and oblivious, will continue to massacre each other relentlessly.

Since this concept does have merit, maybe our fervent leaders can holster these helpful hints, shelve this marginal mandate and concoct a far-reaching fiat that will impact every home and perhaps save more lives.

Books are lined up on a shelf at the Fairfield Civic Center Library, Tuesday.

Library From Page One tinue the discussions with the jurisdictions . . . and what kind of resources are available,” Katz said, referring to cities and schools districts that own the buildings or share in the use of library services.

Supervisor Erin Hannigan suggested that there could be an opportunity to develop the consultant-identified 15,000- to 20,000-square-foot, allpurpose library at the Solano360 development site at the fairgrounds.

The plan does address each library facility operated by the county, including Dixon, which recently joined the mix.

The recommendations are a combination of space and service ideas targeting the needs of each facility, such as upgraded technology, changes in how services are delivered into the community and expansion and renovations where possible.

It took about a year to develop the master plan, a

timeframe that Katz said would have been much shorter had it not been for the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, the pandemic also provided library officials a unique view on how services can be delivered.

For example, curbside service has proven to be wildly popular and will likely continue even when the libraries are fully back to pre-pandemic operations.

“In the last couple of decades, Solano County has changed significantly, as have the needs of the residents,” the staff report to the board states. “The mission of the library is to be the people, places and services that spark curiosity, inspire creativity and champion learning. To support this mission and the need of Solano County’s residents, there needs to be an examination and evaluation of the current facilities which includes nine branch libraries and all public-facing services.”

In each assessment, the needs of the community and library users were worked into the recommendations.

The options for ceremonies include: n An individualized ceremony. Students and families remain in their cars and parade through the ceremony path. Each graduate will get out of the vehicle for their “walk,” when their name is read, diploma is received and photo is taken. n A stadium ceremony with no spectators. The entire graduating class will be gathered in one ceremony. Speeches are given and student names are read. Each student receives their diploma.

The event is live-streamed but no spectators are at the venue. n A stadium ceremony with limited spectators/

multiple ceremonies.

Students are divided by last name into smaller groups. Each group will have a separate ceremony.

Speeches are given and student names are read.

Each student receives their diploma. Spectators will be limited based on the socially distanced capacity of the venue.

The third option seems to be where this is headed, but all of it will hinge on where the county is in the state’s color-based tier system for monitoring the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19.

Sports and music programs Prep sports seasons have come to a close for cross country, girls tennis and boys golf.

Prep football continues. Girls golf, boys tennis, boys/ girls soccer, boys/ girls water polo, wrestling, boys/ girls basketball, badminton and volleyball will begin in April.

The music program has received specific personal protective equipment that was distributed to band directors this week. Some items, however, are still on backorder.

Weather permitting, music classes will be held outside so students will have the opportunity to play wind instruments with the class ensemble.

Wind instruments cannot yet be played indoors.

McCabe recapped school programs offered this summer for students through the school district and through community organizations.

Required student testing The board also heard information on mandated state assessments.

The California State

Board of Education took action March 16 on potential modifications to state assessments. If this federal waiver is approved, districts will have the option of using the s t at ew ide assessments or district-selected assessments for the 2020-21 school year.

Children and teens in third through 10th corey grades might have the Northwest Evaluation Association’s Measures of Academic Performance assessment in Englishlanguage arts and math.

Teens in 11th grade might have a California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress for ELA and math.

Both the NWEA MAP assessments and the CAASPP assessments are standardized tests.

Parents or guardians with children and teens in third through 11th grades will receive their child’s results in both ELA and math.

The school district is waiting on further instruction on this topic.

Superintendent Kris Corey pointed out all schools are required to test students on a broad range of subjects to assess where they are at this time in learning.

“This is required for our state funding,” she said.

District surveys Staff and school board members reviewed again the parent, students and staff surveys taken last month, this time breaking down responses by students enrolled by grade and school as well as ethnicity. Students interested in returning to in-person learning decreased from sixth through 12th grades.

All employees have been offered the opportunity to receive the Covid-19 vaccination.

Approximately 47% of students across the district will remain in full distance learning for the remainder of the school year.

That percentage shifts from campus to campus, with a high

of 58.8% of Vanden High’s student body – 956 students – opting to stay home and 41.2% – 669 students – opting for the hybrid on-campus model; and a low of 28.8% of Scandia Elementary’s schoolchildren – 130 – opting to remain at home and 71.2% – 322 – returning to campus part-time.

The district reports that overall, 61% of chil-

dren in the early grades are returning to campus, with 44% of secondary students opting for the hybrid model.

Students and staff who are on campus are required to follow various safety protocols. Classrooms and offices have been configured to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19.

All students who have chosen hybrid instruction were placed in a cohort that determines what days they will participate in in-person learning, the district reports.

The Travis School District along with schools across the state shut down classroom instruction in March 2020 in response to the pandemic. They ended the year with online learning and began the current school year last fall with similar distance learning protocols in place.

“I’m sick of all the hate – the entire mentality of blaming the new group,” said Dao, a psychology student at Cal State Long Beach who is from Garden Grove.

“It’s sickening to see people go after our most vulnerable.”

Dao said her breaking point was the killing of eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, in the Atlanta area earlier this month. Cherokee County Sheriff’s Capt. Jay Baker told reporters that the man arrested in connection with the killings was having “a really bad day” and had blamed “sex addiction,” not racism, for the massacre.

Dao felt helpless, and enraged by the comments that seemed to sympathize with the suspect

rather than the victims.

“It being written off as a ‘bad day,’ that’s what did it for me,” Dao said.

Baker was later removed as spokesman for the case after it emerged that a Facebook page appearing to belong to him promoted sales of an anti-Asian T-shirt that blamed China for the coronavirus crisis.

“I’ve experienced racism my whole life but I’ve just kept it to myself,” said Dao, whose parents came to the U.S. as refugees from Vietnam. “I was taught to keep my head down, to not make waves.”

Another rally was staged in downtown Los Angeles and in West Hollywood. Crowds gathered at La Cienega and Santa Monica boulevards, holding signs, chanting and cheering as cars passed by.

Since coronavirus shutdowns began last March, thousands of

Asian Americans have faced racist verbal and physical attacks or have been shunned by others, according to a recent report by Stop AAPI Hate. Anti-Asian hate crimes have soared in Los Angeles and other major cities. Official statistics capture only a fraction of the incidents, because many go unreported.

Experts say the hatred has been stoked by misplaced blame over the pandemic and the inflammatory rhetoric of former President Donald Trump, who repeatedly called the disease the “China virus” and “Wuhan flu.”

Dao said the attacks have brought a lot of intergenerational divisions within families over how to respond, “and my family’s not exempt from that.” But she hopes that just seeing people like her in the streets raising their voices will inspire others to speak out, too.

School district officials celebrated the return of limited in-person instruction.

Superintendent Pam Conklin said the district “is thrilled to welcome our students, teachers and support staff back to campuses,” according to a district press release Friday. “Learning continues and we remain committed to safety and a comprehensive educational experience for all.”

Vaccination is not required for employment or enrollment in school. Employees do not have to prove that they have taken the vaccination.

More school funding available C o r e y reported that Assembly Bill 86, which addresses student education during the pandemic with the emphasis on getting students back into the classrooms and offers students a choice in distance learning, was passed by the state Legislature and signed into law.

This means that the district will receive approximately $20 million in state funds, which will require the board to develop and implement a learning plan.

The latest round of federal Covid-19 stimulus – the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 – also passed. The district will receive an additional $25.5 million in new federal funding as a result.

The money will be used to accelerate student learning through an extended school year, summer enrichment or high-quality, evidencedbased tutoring programs, the district reports. The money can be used for upgrades to school facilities for healthy learning environments and to provide an opportunity to invest in what are described as wraparound supports.

The Fairfield-Suisun School District along with schools across the state shut down classroom instruction in March 2020 in response to the pandemic. They ended the year with online learning and began the current school year last fall with similar distance learning protocols in place.

Why Justin Fields has to be 49ers’ pick at No. 3 Dieter Kurtenbach THE MERCURY NEWS

The 49ers have replaced one question – what direction to take at quarterback – with another: What quarterback do they take with their new, shiny No. 3 overall pick?

But there is only one right answer for the 49ers: Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields.

Of course, it’s not totally the Niners’ call.

The New York Jets, who

ANALYSIS have the No. 2 pick, could take Fields, but the likelihood is that they’ll go with BYU’s Zach Wilson.

And, of course, Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence will go No. 1 to Jacksonville.

Three quarterbacks in the first three picks, with the Niners getting the third. That might sound like a bad situation, but for San Francisco, it’s ace.

Fields is the only logical choice for the Niners at No. 3 because he gives the 49ers the best chance at competence now and upside in the future.

Well, aside from Lawrence, that is.

Wilson is a fantastic prospect – certainly worthy of the No. 2 pick.

But he’s also small, played behind a dominant offensive line, and didn’t play all that well against mediocre competition

(watch his performance against Coastal Carolina, which is hardly Alabama).

Wilson’s arm is truly special, though – gamechanging, not just for the team, but perhaps the league – and while this isn’t something the 49ers need, he has a swagger that can turn a franchise around.

He’s the boom-or-bust prospect. Outside of Lawrence, no one has more upside than Wilson.

But if he fails, it will likely

be in a dramatic fashion.

If he’s the best remaining option – if Fields goes No. 2 – then the Niners will likely take him.

That arm . . .

But if Wilson’s gone at No. 3, San Francisco should still celebrate.

As for the other options at No. 3 – North Dakota State’s Trey Lance and Alabama’s Mac Jones – the conversation is contrived. They’re not on the level of the three aforementioned

Armijo (0-2) got on the board with 1:10 to go in the half when Justin Duff hit Kaiba Washington with a 13-yard touchdown pass. A pass on a 2-point conversion attempt was incomplete.

The Bulldogs got the points back when Wiley returned the second-half

kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown.

The Royals responded with Jayden Matthews scoring on a 12-yard run. Armijo failed on a 2-point conversion run attempt, keeping the score 49-12.

LOCAL REPORT

VACAVILLE — Seven months later than originally scheduled, the Vacaville High football team finally got to play at renovated Zunino Stadium and made the most of it by scoring three touchdowns in each of the first two quarters en route to a 63-12 thumping of Armijo, Friday.

“Even with the reduced capacity (two individuals per household per player), it was a great evening at the ‘Z,’ our official opener of the newly renovated stadium,” Bulldogs coach Mike Papadopoulos said. “We remind our kids daily to be (thankful) for the many people they will never meet that have supported and given them this opportunity to have a season. We are extremely grateful.”

The Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0 Monticello Empire League) sandwiched touchdown passes by Ryan Vaughn of 42 yards to Darian Leon-Guerrero and 69 yards to Anthony Wiley around a 13-yard TD run by LeonGuerrero. Arial Till added the first three of nine conversion kicks.

I just don’t see it with Lance.

Unless the Niners believe that he has more upside than Wilson and are hellbent on keeping Garoppolo for a lameduck year – two things I am skeptical of – he doesn’t work for them.

ack when San Diego had an NFL team, that team had a catchy jingle: “San Diego Super Chargers!” Based upon the hype of the past few months, it was almost as if the town’s baseball team had changed its name to the San Diego Super Padres.

Blake Snell here, Yu Darvish there, Fernando Tatis Jr. everywhere. The Padres are trendy, exciting, and bloody good. They have staked their claim as the Dodgers’ primary rival in the National League West.

“That’s cute,” sniffed an employee of the San Francisco Giants.

Yes, the Padres ought to challenge the Dodgers’ ownership of the division. Yes, the Padres and Dodgers might be the two best teams in baseball.

ANALYSIS had a nice season last year. The Dodgers swept them out of the playoffs and won the World Series, something the Padres never have done.

The Dodgers and Giants transcend sports.

In 1962 – seven years before the Padres were born – popular entertainer Danny Kaye recorded a charming song about the already storied rivalry between the Dodgers and Giants, name-dropping Sandy Koufax and Willie Mays, chronicling a fictional game between the “Bums” and the “Jints,” and playfully inventing the “Miller-Hiller-Haller Hallelujah Twist.”

In 2018, when Dianne Feinstein ran for re-election, her campaign staged a fundraiser in Los Angeles, with the cheeky theme that the teams did not agree on anything except Feinstein for Senate.

56-51 lead when a Tate Hall steal caused the ball to volley around until it wound up in Braden Norris’ hands, but his 3-point attempt rattled out, a missed opportunity that created a collective sigh among Loyola fans.

The game was possibly the last for seniors Krutwig and Williamson (10 points on 3-of-11 shooting). They shared a long embrace on the sideline as the game concluded.

From Page A10 it at the NFL level and even then, I’m not sure he’ll make it.

Lance seemed like a stretch at their former draft slot, No. 12, so it’s far too big a leap to go take him at No. 3. I just can’t see that in the cards.

I am unquestionably the most bullish member of the Bay Area media on Jones. I suggested a few months ago that the Niners consider him at No. 12. (I want credit for that!) He’s polished and I love his accuracy. I think he could start right away.

But there’s no upside with Jones. He is what he is.

The Niners just traded away three first-round picks to move up to No. 3, and Jones represents a marginal upgrade over Garoppolo at his very best.

The downsides exist (for Fields), no doubt, but the floor is pretty high.

That doesn’t seem like a smart value play.

Especially when you didn’t have to move up to No. 3 to land him.

The Niners might be all-in, but they’re not stupid – they didn’t toss in an extra first-round pick to be 100% sure they can land Mac Jones.

No, Fields is the play.

The knock on the Ohio State quarterback is that he’s a stiff. That he locks onto receivers for too long and that he doesn’t see the field that well.

The 49ers know all about a quarterback who

does that. They’ve won with a quarterback who does that. The difference is that Fields just turned 22 years old – Jimmy Garoppolo is going into his age-30 season. He’s a work in progress.

And Fields has a few things that cannot be taught: toughness (shown in the College Football Playoff), an extremely catchable and accurate ball that comes with a repeated motion, enough zip to hit the sidelines and deep routes with ease, and the ability to extend plays with his feet.

Garoppolo can’t match any of that.

In fact, few quarterbacks in the NFL can.

We’ll see if it translates to the league, but in watching Ohio State film, it’s easy to see how Fields will fit into Shanahan’s 49ers offense as soon as Week 1.

He might not ever change the sport, but his upside represents a dramatic improvement at the quarterback position for the 49ers. My goodness, the RPO and quarterback run game on top of the 49ers’ current offense? It might be unstoppable.

The downsides exist, no doubt, but the floor is pretty high. One could be bold and argue that he’s a better quarterback than Garoppolo right now.

The Niners are a team that’s in a championshipcontending window and their biggest question was the quarterback.

That’s still the biggest question, but in drafting Fields come April, they’ll extend that window by a few years.

After a big splash, he’s the logical choice for San Francisco.

Local: Dimes throws for 227 yards From Page A10 for 214 yards and the four touchdowns. Abramowicz’s late TD run made him Vacaville’s leading rusher with 50 yards on five carries, while LeonGuerrero added 45 yards on six carries.

“The kids performed well on the field with another solid performance from our defense,” said Papadopoulos, an Armijo graduate. “Offensively, they were able to get into a rhythm early and get many athletes involved.”

For Armijo, Duff was 11-of-28 for 172 yards, while Washington caught three passes for 80 yards, Elijah Boyd caught five for 58 yards and Dameion Regalado caught three for 34 yards.

The Bulldogs now hold a 63-29-10 edge in the oldest continuous series in Solano County with 16 straight victories over the Indians/Royals, winning 27 out of the last 28 meetings. Their first two games on record were played Oct. 25 and Dec. 27, 1901, with both contests ending in scoreless ties.

VIKINGS DROP HEARTBREAKER TO STATE POWER CARDINAL NEWMAN FAIRFIELD — The Vanden High football team played state power Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa even for nearly four quarters Friday night.

They needed to make it through all four, however, as Tsion Nunnally, who has signed a letter of intent to play for Washington State, returned a kickoff for a touchdown late in the game to give the Cardinals a 28-21 victory at George A. Gammon Field.

“It was a great high school football game,” Vanden coach Sean Murphy said. “Both teams went back and forth and they made a couple more plays in the end that we did and that was a difference.

“I’m very happy with the way our student-athletes competed. The growth from week 1 to week 2, you could see the growth offensively and defensively – special teams not so much. But I’m definitely happy with way we’re progressing.”

Vanden (1-1) got on the board first with an 11-yard pass to Jamai East from Tre Dimes. Kicker Diego NuñesSmith booted the first of his three extra points to make it 7-0.

The Vikings appeared to be in position to go up 14-0 but had a 65-yard pass play was called back because they had five players lined up in the backfield.

The Cardinals (2-0) took advantage and scored late in the half to make it 7-7.

Cardinal Newman, a 2019 state champion, took its first lead with a touchdown in the third quarter, though the Vikings responded with a score of their own on a 56-yard TD pass from Dimes to Mike Belk.

With the scored tied 14-14 after three quarters, the visitors regained the lead at 21-14.

Vanden tied it one last time on a 10-yard pass from Dimes to Belk.

They left enough time for Nunnally to return the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown, but not enough to respond.

“I felt like we had them, I felt if we went into overtime we had a good chance,” Murphy said. “I’m proud of of our guys. We played the 29thranked team in California (according to maxpreps.com) and stuck with them the whole way. There were times we could’ve folded, but stayed with them.”

Dimes, a sophomore, was 20-of-44 for 227 yards with the three touchdowns and two interceptions.

His favorite was Belk, who caught five passes for 103 yards. Johnte McDowell had a team-high six catches for 36 yards.

The Vikings were held to 19 yards rushing with Sean Davis getting 18 of them.

Vanden hosts Vacaville next week in a game that could determine the MEL title. The Vikings have finished second to the Bulldogs their first two seasons in the league.

WILDCATS OUTLAST MUSTANGS, 46-32 FAIRFIELD — Keyon Grayer rushed for 103 yards and also had a 78 pass reception as the Will C. Wood football team earned its first victory of the season by outlasting Rodriguez, 46-32, at Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium, Friday night.

Grayer rushed eight times with a long of 44 yards and scored three touchdowns. Wildcats quarterback Ken Tilford was an efficient 4-of-5 for 118 yards with a TD toss to Krishna Clay, who had Wood’s other three receptions for 40 yards. Tilford also ran for 46 yards on 10 carries, rushing for a touchdown, as did Joseph Minor and Steven Lukens.

Emannuel Nwagbara booted four extra points for the Wildcats.

On defense, Devin Copta-Vaughn intercepted two passes, while Dominic Barnett and Josiah Flores had one each.

Pablo Sandoval, Ehire Adrianza, Nate Jones make Braves’ opening day roster Tribune Content Agency ATLANTA — The Braves rewarded the three most impressive players in their camp with spots on the opening-day roster.

Infielder Ehire Adrianza, reliever Nate Jones and infielder Pablo Sandoval were added to the 40-man roster Friday, the

team announced Saturday morning. Seeking depth on a budget, the Braves entered spring hoping some of their non-roster invitees could surprise and force their way into the team’s plans. Adrianza, Jones and Sandoval did just that.

“When you look at

(Sandoval and Adrianza), they come in and you tell guys they’re competing for a job, and they did, it’s hard to deny either of those guys,” manager Brian Snitker said.

Adrianza, 31, has had an incredible spring. He’s hit .412 with two homers and 12 RBIs in 34 at-bats.

He hasn’t provided much with the bat over his eightyear career, but his did everything in his power to earn a spot this spring.

The Braves will see if his offensive surge carries into the regular season, but he’ll at least provide defense and versatility.

See Braves, Page A13

A’s: Ex-Giants Petit, Romo in bullpen From Page A10 to the 40-man roster. But they have an open spot.

Garcia will be Sean Mu r phy ’s back-up catcher, a move that was all but decided when the only catchers that remained in camp, Carlos Perez and Francisco Peña, were reassigned to minor league camp Saturday morning. Among the other cuts were outfielder Cody Thomas (acquired this offseason in a trade with the Dodgers), infielder Pete Kozma and relievers Reymin Guduan and Deolis Guerra.

Those reassigned are unexpected names that could be on the cusp of big league action in the event of injury. Guerra and Guduan haven’t allowed a single run this spring and provide bullpen depth.

Kozma will provide depth at shortstop in particular, with Elvis Andrus the ever yday shor tstop and utility player Chad Pinder the second option on the big league team.

The A’s have more cuts to make, but Melvin has said he’s pleased with the newfound depth that came with the emergence of these players.

“I felt like coming into the spring our depth was

a little short,” he said. “I certainly feel a lot better about it now.”

The A’s wanted to see Garcia’s bat come alive this spring, and he’s risen to the occasion. The 28-year-old is batting .333 this spring, hitting in all fields, with three doubles. Having to give up Jonah Heim to the Texas Rangers in the Khris Davis/ Elvis Andrus trade, Oakland demanded Garcia in return to ensure another strong defensive catcher replenish their system.

Garcia hasn’t disappointed behind the dish.

He caught Daulton Jefferies’ six-strikeout outing against the Colorado Rockies last week and Cole Irvin’s 10-strikeou t p er f or m a nc e against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.

“We talk about how spring training numbers don’t count, and in his case they certainly do,” Melvin said. “Not only has he swung the bat well, his catching ability is tremendous. We’ve talked a lot about that. Whether it’s framing. Whether it’s calling a game. I thought he did a fantastic job with Cole Irvin last night. Pitching in just

enough, getting some called strikeouts in there, sinker, changeup, just enough curveballs to keep them off balance. His last couple outings, and what he did with Daulton last time, really resonated.”

With 31 players still in camp, here’s how the final Opening Day 26-man roster should shake out.

STARTERS Chris Bassitt Jesús Luzardo Sean Manaea Frankie Montas A.J. Puk/ Daulton Jefferies/ Cole Irvin The fifth starter is still unresolved and appears to be a dead heat between Jefferies, Puk and Irvin. Puk starts Saturday’s game, and his performance will inform the A’s if he’s ready to start the regular season.

Irvin’s performance against the Dodgers pits up right up against Jefferies, who’s also been consistent this spring.

Mike Fiers threw a bullpen on Friday and will start the regular season on the injured list, Melvin announced, which will open up an active roster spot for one of the three battling to be the early fifth starter.

BULLPEN RHP Yusmeiro Petit RHP Sergio Romo LHP Adam Kolarek LHP Jake Diekman RHP Trevor Rosenthal RHP J.B. Wendelken RHP Burch Smith RHP Lou Trivino The A’s will carry 13 pitchers.

With Trevor Rosenthal closing, the A’s can go matchup heavy between the sixth and eighth innings to optimize this bullpen with a variety of arm angles and speeds.

INFIELD 3B Matt Chapman SS Elvis Andrus 2B/DH Jed Lowrie 1B Matt Olson UTIL Chad Pinder 2B/OF Tony Kemp Nothing surprising here. But now we can officially pencil in Lowrie as an everyday second baseman. Tony Kemp will make the team as a lefthanded-hitting option in a very righthanded infield. He also can flip into the outfield, which could allow Melvin to optimize some matchups against right-handed pitchers.

DESIGNATED HITTER Mitch Moreland Outfield CF Ramón Laureano RF Stephen Piscotty LF Mark Canha OF Ka’ai Tom Tom hasn’t officially made the team, but if he continues to hit as he has this spring, the fourth outfielder spot is his to lose.

CATCHERS Sean Murphy Aramis Garcia ODD MEN OUT This could mean former Rule 5 draft pick Vimael Machin is left on the bubble. But with a full season completed with the team last year, Machin can be optioned to the minor leagues. Seth Brown, though he’s been solid at the plate of late, could also be shipped back to the minors.

Rival: Padres lacking long history Dodgers have with Giants From Page A10 and delegations, and the banter was all in good fun. Of course, the Giants had won the World Series three times that decade, and Feinstein is a former mayor of San Francisco.

At one point, she was standing next to Giants President Larry Baer.

“She took the World Series ring off my finger,” Baer said, “and stuck it in Ron Cey’s face and said, ‘When are you going to get one of these?’ ” The Giants are not about to surrender their identity as the Dodgers’ chief antagonist.

The rivalry has endured since the 19th century, when the Dodgers represented the New York City borough of Brooklyn against the Giants, from mighty Manhattan. The two teams moved to California in tandem, in 1958.

There was a time when San Francisco was the mightiest city in California, but that time has long passed.

“L.A. blossomed into one of the great metropolises in the country,” Giants broadcaster Jon Miller said. “The Giants fans might have been a little jealous of all the attention L.A. was getting. So I think there were other things besides teams being in a pennant race.

“But I still think the root of a great rivalry has

to do with battling each other in a pennant race.”

The Dodgers and Padres have finished in the top two places in standings three times – and, each time, both teams made the playoffs, killing the suspense. The Dodgers and Giants have finished in the top two places 12 times since moving to California, including seven times in this century alone.

“It’s about beating each other,” Baer said, “but the rivalry extends to knocking each other out.”

In 1951, with Mays on deck, Bobby Thomson hit “The Shot Heard ‘Round The World,” the home run that eliminated the Dodgers and sent the Giants to the World Series. In 1962, Mays scored the winning run in the sudden-death playoff that eliminated the Dodgers and sent the Giants to the World Series.

In 1982, Joe Morgan hit the home run that knocked the Dodgers out of the playoffs. In 1993, with Mays and Thomson seated in his box at Dodger Stadium, Baer watched helplessly as the fourth-place Dodgers knocked the Giants out of the playoffs.

The Padres failed to finish higher than fourth place until 1984. By then, two generations of Southern California and Bay Area fans had

remembers where he was when Juan Marichal clobbered John Roseboro atop the head with a bat, in 1965.

“Driving with my parents,” Baer said, “on Highway 101.”

Fans need not remember where they were when the Padres’ Carlos Quentin charged Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke and broke his collarbone in 2013, a forgettable footnote in the careers of itinerant ballplayers.

Greinke is on his sixth team. The Padres finished 16 games behind the Dodgers that year anyway.

Before Ned Colletti’s nine seasons as the Dodgers’ general manager, he spent 11 seasons in the Giants’ front office. He arrived in 1995, for the final years of decrepit Candlestick Park. He asked someone why the Giants could draw 50,000 fans for the Dodgers and 15,000 fans for just about every other opponent.

“A lot of people here hate baseball,” Colletti said he was told. “They hate the Dodgers more than they hate baseball.”

In 1999, before the final night game at Candlestick, Tommy Lasorda bathed in the boos. He had retired as Dodgers manager three years earlier, but the last word would be his. He egged on the crowd, then grabbed the microphone.

invested in the legendary rivalry. In Los Angeles, the only Dodgers road series televised were the ones from San Francisco.

In the Bay Area, Miller was among the Giants fans who grew up listening to the Dodgers, live from L.A. on KFI. “At night, KFI would come into the Bay Area like a local station,” Miller said. “And, come September, when the two teams were in a pennant race – and they were in a pennant race a lot when I was a kid, in the sixties – the Giants would play mostly day games.

“So we would know how their game turned out, and then the Dodgers would play that night in L.A., and I would listen to Vin Scully and Jerry Doggett.”

Speedy Dodgers shortstop Maury Wills so tormented the Giants that they watered down the basepaths to slow him down.

Koufax, Hall of Famer, pitched to Mays, Hall of Famer. Don Drysdale, Hall of Famer, pitched to Willie McCovey, Hall of Famer.

Snell might pitch to Mookie Betts this season, and maybe his new employers let him complete the sixth inning.

Madison Bumgarner told Yasiel Puig not to look at him. Max Muncy told Bumgarner to go get it out of the ocean. Baer, the Giants’ president, still

“You hate yourselves,” Lasorda said, “because you love me.”

The rivalry is as much a part of California summers as the beach, but it nearly evaporated in 1992. Giants owner Bob Lurie had agreed to sell, in a deal in which the team would be moved to St. Petersburg, Fla. The league instead brokered a sale to Bay Area buyers, but only after a campaign to keep the team in San Francisco.

The person who put the most pressure on the league, according to Baer? Peter O’Malley, then the Dodgers’ owner.

“It’s a rivalry, but there’s a lot of love there,” Baer said. “We wouldn’t be the same without them, and I don’t think they’d be the same without us.”

The chant is the same in San Diego as it is in San Francisco: Beat L.A.!

In San Diego, traditionally, Dodgers fans drown out the cheer. In San Francisco, Giants fans would not dare let that happen.

Padres’ fans are primed for a big year, same as their team.

There might come a time when Tatis Jr. is as integral to a history of the Dodgers as Mays was, but that time is not yet here.

“I think they’re going to be good for awhile, so I would not write them off as a one-year wonder by any stretch,” said Farhan

Zaidi, the Giants’ president of baseball operations. “If they have that sustained run of being competitive like they’re set up to, that’s how rivalries form.”

If Zaidi can rebuild the Giants into a contender, the rest of the decade could be fun for California.

“We might get to the point where somebody has a Beat The Whole State chant,” he said.

“Maybe we can have some common ground.”

The Dodgers and Giants have not always been good at the same time. For instance, from 1972-78, the Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds occupied the top two spots in the NL West every year.

“You’ll have teams that are good from year to year, but they’re interlopers in the rivalry between the Giants and the Dodgers,” Baer said.

“There’s too much history there.”

Said Colletti: “I think it will always come back to the Giants. And, for the Giants, I think it will always come back to the Dodgers.”

It will. And, on April 9, we hope Feinstein’s staff puts the Dodgers on the office television, so the senator can see their players get one of those World Series rings.

Braves: Roster From Page A12 Jones, 35, entered camp fighting an uphill battle yet like Adrianza, he blew the Braves away. Jones didn’t allow a run in his first six appearances – he finally gave up a homer to the Twins’ Kyle Garlick on Friday – and appeared closer to his past form, when he was one of the steadier relievers in the majors for the White Sox. Sandoval, 34, has had an outstanding exhibition season. He’s hit .429/.463/.978, which includes a three-hit game Friday. While he can handle both corner infield spots, Sandoval wasn’t going to make the team for defensive purposes, so he had to excel with the bat.

“Pablo has done it,” Snitker said. “The way he’s come in, the professionalism, what he adds in the clubhouse, the presence he has, the respect he has from everybody, and the fact he can still hit.

He’s what you’re looking for. He’s a guy who can sit around and stay ready.”

As for their roles,

Adrianza will be the primary backup shortstop while also being capable of manning other infield positions. Jones gives the Braves another veteran right-hander in a bullpen that’s loaded with high-leverage lefties.

Sandoval can cover the corner infield spots while providing needed bench offense.

In a series of corresponding transactions, outfielder Phillip Ervin was designated for assignment, creating a spot on the 40-man roster for Sandoval. The Braves released infielder Jason Kipnis, who was in camp this spring on a minor league contract, and infielder Jake Lamb, who would’ve served a similar role to Sandoval but hadn’t impressed.

Outfielder Abraham Almonte was outrighted to the alternate site.

The Braves also announced they optioned right-hander Bryse Wilson to the alternate training site, a decision they made Friday. Wilson likely will return in mid-April as the team’s No. 5 starter.

SCT presents ‘You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown’ Tony Wade

Daily Republic correspondent

ROCKVILLE — Pandemic, schmandemic; the show must go on.

That appears to be the philosophy of Solano College Theatre professor Christine Mani, who is not only directing “Deathtrap,” the student-led drama that debuts April 1, but also the theater company’s first musical during the pandemic, “You’re a Good Man theater Charlie Brown,” later on in the month.

The 1967 musical based on the “Peanuts” Solano College comic strip charTheatre Presents acters created by ‘Deathtrap’ legendary cartoon7 p.m. April 1-3 ist Charles Schulz was ‘You’re a Good Man deemed by Mani to be Charlie Brown’ the perfect choice to 7 p.m. April 29 perform at this particuto May 1 lar moment in time for a variety of reasons. http://blogs.solano. edu/theater “It’s positive, uplifting and on the practical side, since the majority of rehearsals were going to be online, we needed something that mainly consisted of solos as opposed to group numbers,” Mani said. “We also wanted a show with a small enough cast to keep alive the possibility that we could actually perform it live and socially distanced if allowed to do so.”

That wish did come true as the powers that be granted the company the ability to perform outside, live, in front of the actual theater and stream it online. While the prospect of once again doing honest-to-goodness, live-without-a-net, inperson theater (or as close to it as they have been in more than a year at least) is near-intoxicating for Mani and others, it also heaps more challenges on an already challenging show.

Larry McMurtry, novelist who pierced myths of Texas, dies at 84 The Washington Post Larry McMurtry, a Texas-born, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and Oscar-winning screenwriter who pierced the myth of the Lone Star State’s romanticized past in works such as “Lonesome Dove” and “The Last Picture Show,” died March 25 at his home in Tucson, Ariz. He was 84.

His wife, Faye Kesey McMurtry, confirmed the death but said she did not know the cause.

In a prodigious career spanning more than six decades, McMurtry wrote more than 30 novels, scripts for nearly as many movies and television series, three memoirs, countless book reviews and essays, and biographies of Western characters including Crazy Horse, George Custer and Buffalo Bill.

His best-known work remains “Lonesome Dove,” an epic novel about cowboys and cattle drives, grizzled Texas Rangers, frontier prostitutes, dexterous gamblers, odoriferous buffalo hunters and other roisterous denizens of the American West. The book sold more than 1 million copies, received the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for fiction and became a popular CBS miniseries starring Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall.

“Some claim the three essential books in Texas history are the Bible, the Warren Commission report and Larry McMurtry’s ‘Lonesome Dove,’ ” historian Douglas Brinkley wrote in a 2017 New York Times essay.

uisun City resident and artist Doug Cooper traded in his paintbrush for woodcarving knives about three and a half years ago and has not looked back.

Cooper, along with Dennis Ariza and Pat Calabro, is a featured artist at Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Arts Association’s latest show, “Imagine.”

The show at the Solano Town Center Gallery runs through April 17.

Cooper’s interest in woodcarving was piqued by a friend and he now is near obsessed with carefully teasing his thought images out of wood.

“A friend of mine, who is an old-timer of about 80 years old, is a master woodcarver and showed me some stuff and I was hooked,” Cooper said. “Now, it’s a passion, an addiction, whatever you want to call it. When I first started, I literally spent hours working on them in the garage.”

Some of the pieces Cooper has created include whimsical faces of cowboys, wood spirits, an angel, dogs, and shoes and boots. One piece

Doug Cooper uses strictly bass wood for his carvings. inspired by both the novel coronavirus pandemic and his own doctor is “Doc,” a physician wearing a nowubiquitous mask.

While his work elicits oohs and aahs or delighted squeals from those viewing pictures of his work on Facebook or in person at the mall, Cooper is humble about his progress thus far as a woodcarver.

“I belong to some woodcarving groups on Facebook and I learned a lot from those guys,” Cooper said.

“You should see the incredible amount of detail they can do. Mine pale in comparison, but those guys are there to help in any way they can.”

HBO’s riveting documentary captures singer Tina Turner’s tumultuous life K arla Peterson

f she said it once, she said it many, many times. Tina Turner really, really does not want to talk about Ike. “I’m not so thrilled about thinking about the past and how I lived my life,” she said during a news conference for “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” the 1993 biopic that dedicated a big chunk of screen time to Turner’s abusive ex-husband. “I don’t love that it’s always talked about, you see.”

And yet here she is, in a new HBO documentary, talking about Ike. Like the aforementioned biopic – and the 1986 autobiography (“I, Tina,” co-written with journalist Kurt Loder)

Courtesy of Rhonda Graam/HBO/TNS file (1976)

Tina and Ikettes performing in January 1976. and the groundbreaking 1981 People interview that launched a few zillion follow-up interviews – HBO’s “Tina” spends a lot of time on the man who gave Tina her career and almost stole her life.

The man who named her “Tina” in the first place.

But to the credit of

Turner and the Oscarwinning filmmakers Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin (“Undefeated”), the documentary is also about so much more than Tina’s struggles to be free of Ike. Over its interview-packed 118 minutes, “Tina” gives us a layered, multifaceted portrait of a

woman who is a survivor of both childhood abandonment and harrowing acts of violence. As the generous helping of performance clips reminds us, she is also an astounding singer, a showstopping performer and a sweaty, soulful force of nature.

The story Turner is reluctant to rehash says a lot about who she is, but as “Tina” makes abundantly clear, it isn’t all she is.

To give us the full Tina Turner picture, Lindsay and Martin weave in new and archival interviews with Tina, and archival interviews with Ike, who died of a cocaine overdose in his San Marcos, California, home in 2007.

There are also insightful interviews with Loder, See Tina, Page B2

Novelist From Page B1 Ironically, “Lonesome Dove” appeared just a few years after McMurtry wrote a long essay for the Texas Observer in which he gigged his fellow Texas writers for their unseemly swoon over cowboys and for their lingering attachment to a rural Texas yesteryear. Relishing the role of curmudgeon, he observed that the open range had sprouted sprawling suburbia, that old barns and rustic windmills had given way to sleek glass towers thrusting skyward in several of the nation’s largest cities.

“Easier to write about the homefolks, the old folks, cowboys, or the small town,” he chided, “than to deal with the more immediate and frequently less simplistic experience of city life.” His own acclaimed trilogy of Houston novels – “Moving On” (1970), “All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers” (1972) and “Terms of Endearment” (1975) – plumbed the textured richness, brio and occasional craziness of one of America’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas. “ L one B e side s some Dove,” several of McMurtry’s books made acclaimed translations to the screen, notably “Terms of Endearment,” “The Last Picture Show” and “Horseman, Pass By,” the last of which was adapted into the Paul Newman drama “Hud” in 1963.

In 2006, McMurtry shared an Academy Award with Diana Ossana, his frequent collaborator, for their adaptation of a 1997 short story by Annie Proulx about a tragic, decades-long love affair between two gay cowboys.

The story became the hit movie “Brokeback Mountain” (2006), starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.

McMurtry, a onetime co-owner of a bookstore in Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood, also was an obsessive collector of anti-

Tina From Page B1 People magazine editor Carl Arrington, actress Angela Bassett (who played Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do With It”), longtime assistant Rhonda Graam, backup singers and dancers, and Turner’s oldest son, Raymond Craig Turner.

The documentary is dedicated to Craig, who died by suicide in 2018, and Graam, who died earlier this year.

The filmmakers also skip the traditional timeline approach in favor of five “chapters” devoted to themes in Turner’s life.

Chapter I (“Ike & Tina”) covers the history of the couple, from Ike discovering that the 17-year-old Anna Mae Bullock could really sing, through their hard-driving years as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, where Ike played guitar and led the band, and Tina was the whirling soul dervish in the spotlight.

It also introduces us to the pre-Tina professional betrayals that made Ike

“I use strictly bass wood. It’s the best for carving. It’s a really clear wood and has a beautiful grain to it. It’s softer than a lot of other hardwoods,

quarian books. In the late 1980s, he left the shop, Booked Up, bought a string of abandoned buildings in the moldering Texas town where he was raised, and stocked them with his personal collection, books from the Georgetown store and private collections he continued to buy – some 450,000 in all.

His intention, he said, was to turn Archer City – “a bookless town in a bookless part of the state” – into a Lone Star version of Hayon-Wye, the celebrated bookstore and book-festival town in Wales.

McMurtry’s literary ambitions, for himself and his town, could be traced to a childhood on his family’s struggling cattle ranch. When a cousin went away to World War II and left him a box of boyhood adventure books, he began “a subversive, deeply engrossing secret life as a reader,” he wrote in a 1999 memoir, “Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen.”

“Unfit for ranch work because of my indifference to cattle,” he continued, “I went instead into the antiquarian book trade, becoming, in effect, a book rancher.”

Larry Jeff McMurtry was born in Wichita Falls, Texas, on June 3, 1936, and grew up on a ranch outside nearby Archer City. He graduated from what is now the University of North Texas in 1958 and received a master’s degree in English from Rice University in 1960. While at North Texas, he enrolled in a creative writing course and wrote a short story dealing with the death of a Texas Panhandle rancher who resembled the legendary Charles Goodnight.

The story blossomed into his first novel, “Horseman, Pass By” (1961), about a charismatically amoral rancher who doesn’t care about selling poisoned cattle to his neighbors and will do anything to take control of his father’s ranch. In the film version, Melvyn Douglas, as the stoic father, and Patricia Neal, as the housekeeper Newman’s Hud tries to rape,

earned Oscars.

McMurtry’s followup, “Leaving Cheyenne” (1963), chronicled a ranch-country love triangle that lasted more than two decades. “If Chaucer were a Texan writing today, and only 27 years old, this is how he would have written and this is how he would have felt,” Western author Marshall Sprague wrote in his New York Times review.

McMurtry was teaching freshman English at Rice when he began writing “The Last Picture Show” (1966), a story of restless teenagers coming of age in the 1950s in dry, dusty Thalia – a fictionalized version of Archer City, about 120 northwest of Dallas.

The 1971 film, directed in exquisite black and white by Peter Bogdanovich, featured a masterful ensemble of actors including Timothy Bottoms as the sensitive protagonist, Jeff Bridges as a jock, Cybill Shepherd as the fickle town beauty, Ben Johnson as the weathered poolhall manager and Cloris Leachman as the forlorn wife of a high school football coach. Johnson and Leachman won Oscars for their supporting roles, and the film received many other nominations, including best picture and best screenplay by McMurtry and Bogdanovich.

The author spent several years as an itinerant English teacher, including stints at George Mason University and American University, but the success of the film meant that he no longer had to grade papers and lecture about literature as his main source of income.

He left rustic Texas in the rearview mirror – for a while – and turned his attention to the wealthy Houston enclave of River Oaks, a leafy neighborhood he knew well from his years at Rice. The result was his Houston trilogy, which also demonstrated McMurtry’s ability to create compelling, headstrong female characters.

Janet Maslin, a book and movie critic at the

Times, dubbed McMurtry a father of “chick lit” on the strength of his character Aurora Greenway, the grande dame of “Terms of Endearment.”

She was played by Shirley MacLaine in the 1983 film version of the novel, with Debra Winger as her putupon daughter and Jack Nicholson as her ex-astronaut neighbor. The movie won five Academy Awards, including best picture.

Throughout most of the 1980s, McMurtry plunged deep into the Old West, steer-wrestling, as it were, an unruly draft that he once described as “the inchoate mass of pages having to do with the two aging Texas Rangers and their friends.” The narrative began to congeal, he later said, when he spotted a sign on an old bus: Lonesome Dove Baptist Church.

“It isn’t a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination,” McMurtry told Texas Monthly in 2016.

“All I had wanted to do was write a novel that demythologized the West.

Instead, it became the chief source of Western mythology. Some things you cannot explain.”

Life itself turned toward the inexplicable on an autumn evening in 1991.

On the way to his Archer City residence, McMurtry hit a Holstein cow with his rented Lincoln. He felt ill that night, and at the doctor’s office the next day was told he was having a heart attack. Bypass surgery went flawlessly, but it set in motion a profound and unsettling change in McMurtry’s psyche.

“I became, to myself, more and more like a ghost, or a shadow,” he wrote in “Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen.”

“What I more and more felt, as the trauma deepened, was that while my body survived, the self that I had once been had lost its life.”

Ossana took him in, and for more than two years he lived with his collaborator and her daughter in Tucson, rarely venturing outside. With their encouragement, he gradually regained a sense of nor-

malcy. He often expressed his gratitude for Ossana’s role in his recovery, but both always maintained they were close friends, not romantic partners.

McMurtry continued to publish at a heady pace in recent years, though some critics said the quality diminished as McMurtry recycled his favorite characters in prequels and sequels. President Barack Obama awarded him the National Humanities Medal in 2014.

He married Faye Kesey, the widow of novelist Ken Kesey, in 2011.

They had met more than a half-century earlier when McMurtry and Ken Kesey, author of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” were writing fellows at Stanford University.

McMurtry’s first marriage, to novelist Jo Scott McMurtry, ended in divorce. They had a son, singer-songwriter James McMurtry, but complete information on survivors was not immediately available.

In a 1968 book of essays about Texas called “In a Narrow Grave” – praised

by Washington Post book critic Jonathan Yardley as “arguably the best book ever written about Texas” – McMurtry eulogized the passing of earlier generations, including his own family, who pledged allegiance to the god who gave rise to The Cowboy. “They found it bitter to leave the land to which they were always faithful,” he wrote, “to the strange and godless heirs that they had bred.”

Although McMurtry acknowledged he was one of those “strange and godless heirs,” he also spoke of an ineffable connection to his forebears.

“The tradition I was born into was essentially nomadic, a herdsmen tradition, following animals across the earth,” he told the Times in 1997, using a favored analogy. “The bookshops are a form of ranching. Instead of herding cattle, I herd books. Writing is a form of herding, too. I herd words into little paragraphlike clusters.”

paranoid and possessive.

When he realized that Tina was really the star of the show, he figured the best way to keep her from leaving was to marry her. (“Tina was the gold mine, and he knew it. He had to control her,” backup singer Jimmy Thomas says.) Somewhere along the way, Ike started beating her. Including when she was pregnant with their son, Ronnie.

Chapter II (“Family”) covers the Turners’ move to Los Angeles with Ronnie, Craig (Tina’s son from a previous relationship), Ike Jr., and Michael (both from Ike’s relationship with girlfriend Lorraine Taylor).

According to Craig, Tina was very strict with the kids, and Ike used beatings, social isolation and nonstop work to keep an iron grip on Tina.

This chapter also gives us a rare glimpse into Tina’s childhood, where her parents fought like crazy before abandoning her and her older sisters to the care of various relatives. We also get Tina’s insights into Ike, whose glowering public persona was just a cover-up for

massive insecurities.

That chapter ends with Tina surviving a suicide attempt, discovering Buddhism and finding the strength to leave Ike. She walked out of a Dallas hotel in July of 1976 with one small suitcase and no plans at all. When they divorced in 1978, the only thing Tina asked for was the rights to her name.

Chapter III is all about Turner’s comeback, when she went from tacky Las Vegas shows and pay-therent TV gigs to recording 1984’s multimillion-selling “Private Dancer” album. Thanks to the smash hit “What’s Love Got to Do With It” (which Turner hated) and the many hits that followed, she got the arena-filling, Grammy-winning rock-star career she always wanted.

Then comes Chapter IV, and “The Story.” In one of the documentary’s most compelling turns, “Tina” takes a deep dive into the abuse-survivor’s narrative that changed Turner’s life in ways that were both profound and painful.

In 1981, at the urging of new manager Roger

Davies, Tina agreed to tell her very private story to People’s Carl Arrington.

Davies thought it would be the best way for Tina to separate herself from Ike and launch the new phase of her career. He was right on both counts.

What neither of them knew was that telling the story once would never be enough.

From that point on, any interview Turner did would include questions about Ike. Any Tina-related project – her autobiography, the movie, the Broadway play, this documentary – would have its Ike-related moments. As one of the first prominent women to talk about her experiences with domestic violence, Turner helped countless women open up for the first time. But she could never really close the book on Ike. She never liked it, but she learned to live with it. Her amazing life story was hers to tell, even with him in it.

“It’s a reality. It’s a truth,” she says in a 2019 interview with the filmmakers. “That’s what you’ve got, so you have to accept it.”

Chapter V is titled “Love,” and it is short and sweet. After many years of feeling unseen and unloved (“I have not had one love affair that was genuine and sustained itself,” Turner says in a remarkable interview Loder taped for the book), Turner met German record executive Erwin Bach in 1986 and was immediately smitten. After a few decades of blissful coupledom, Turner and Bach got married in 2013. They live in Zurich, Switzerland.

As “Tina” comes to a close, Turner – who turns 82 in November – is contemplating her next quiet chapter. “How do you bow out slowly?” she wonders.

“Just … go away?”

But as the credits roll, we see a clip of peak Tina performing “Simply the Best” before a massive stadium crowd. “Sing it, everybody!” she commands. And they do.

Because she is Tina Turner, and she is simply remarkable. By showing us the human being behind the star and the heart that fueled the soul, “Tina” is the clear-eyed tribute she deserves.

is crisp and holds details nicely,” Cooper said. “The wood is a bit more forgiving than you might think if you make a mistake.

I mean, once you’ve cut something off you obviously can’t put it back on, but little mistakes can be forgiven and corrected. A lot of my pieces don’t come out exactly as planned, but that’s OK.” All told, taking a piece from idea to reality can take about a week.

them, they won’t get dirty,” Cooper said.

One of the things that attracts Cooper to woodcarving is the natural connection he feels with the wood. The action of the carving, the resultant sounds and even smells associated with that particular discipline are rewarding in ways that painting, while a passion, was not.

There are also practical considerations.

“When I was painting, a common problem

SCT From Page B1 “We have our work cut out for us. Lighting and sound must be moved outdoors every day, and all the actors will be miked up and masked. So there are masks that will match their costumes,” Mani said.

Since there are only six characters in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown,” Mani double cast it to give more students an opportunity to perform. The two different casts are dubbed “Wah Wah” and “Woodstock.”

Some of the other things that needed workarounds were not sharing props or costumes so they were doubled as well.

Mani can’t recall the first time she saw “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown,” but does remember her students directing it about 20 years ago. While she personally gravitates toward larger, danceoriented musicals, again, she feels spending time with Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy, Lucy, Sally and Schroeder is a perfect salve for the times.

“The show is a series of quick vignettes that delivers joy and nostalgia. One of the very first things we did when we met online was to share our individual experiences with Charlie Brown,” Mani said.

“To a person, every cast member had one.

Whether it was just watching the holiday shows or someone’s father always buying them Snoopy stuff – they know the characters.

We did a lot of research into Schulz’s history and where the vignettes came from. The final song is called ‘Happiness’ and I cannot tell you how many times we’ve cried happy tears just singing that on Zoom. It’s beautiful.”

Mani meets biweekly online with all of the local high school theater teachers, and some who are not so local, and they try to help buoy each other’s spirits.

“Everyone is going through their own Covid depression in different ways because we can’t do the thing we love. Some who haven’t done virtual shows don’t believe it will be the same and so they don’t want to do it,” Mani said. “It’s not the same, but you know what? You get to problem-solve just like you used to, you get to dive deep into characters just like you used to, you get to see students enjoy and fall in love with theater just like you used to. It helps to remind us that there is a need for theater – for storytelling and for make-believe – and that it will continue once this horrible pandemic is over. That sense of joy is still going to continue in our world and we can do our best versions of theater now and it will be brilliant.”

Murray Bass Plan to live

Tech allows continued contact with world

I

would be no more than a lump of flesh without technology. With it, I am engaged in the world.

My laptop computer is the foundation for almost everything I do.

Of course, there were things technical that long preceded the computer.

Electric lights and refrigeration, for example. This is about modern technology. I have very limited vision. I see and recognize forms, shapes and colors up to 6 feet away or so. My other senses help extend that recognition zone a lot, along with being familiar with things.

What allows me to stay engaged in the world and be a “contributor?”

Modern technology.

When I want to work – or create – I have to go to a computer program that magnifies my work – the words that I type. Typically, I use ZoomText and magnify everything I write four times. It’s so I can read what I am writing. If I have a bad day, I can use the ZoomText reading program, which reads to me. With ZoomText, I can see or hear the mistakes I have made and correct them.

Writing is just one part of creating. Yes, I don’t know everything. I have to do research to be sure that what I write is accurate. I search Google and Wikipedia on the internet.

I can also access written material using a reading machine. My machine will magnify material 40 or more times. With ZoomText, I am currently using about four times. As my vision continues to get worse, I still have a long way to go as far as magnification is concerned.

It sounds like all I will have to do to continue to write will be to turn up the magnifier. I wish that were true. At some point, if I survive, I will not be able to see at all. What then? I will be able to dictate my columns using a program called Dragon.

When that happens, I will have to depend on friends who edit my work now to help me even more.

You may have gathered that I enjoy what I do and intend to keep doing it for at least six or seven more years. As a matter of fact, I have a book-writing project on my schedule that will take that long.

One of these days I’ll tell you what each of us can do to create a personal legacy. I don’t really know why I am telling you all of this, except it has been on my mind. I realize (sometimes more than others) that I am mortal and life ends. In the meantime, I intend to make the most of the time I have left.

Changing the subject: Dear friend Gwen, who is going to have a heart transplant, has asked me to thank all of the anonymous folks who donated to her transplant account and offered prayers.

I am doing that, but more important, Gwen is personally expressing her heartfelt thanks to each of you.

Northwestern Medicine thoracic pathologist Dr. Anjana Yeldandi, left, with Dr. Ankit Bharat, chief of thoracic surgery, were part of a team

that performed the first known double lung transplant where both the donor and the recipient had been stricken with Covid-19.

‘Milestone’ surgery Illinois health care worker dying of Covid-19 receives lungs from person who recovered from the disease but died in an accident

S

Tribune Content Agency urgeons at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago last month performed the first known double lung transplant in the U.S. that used lungs donated from someone who recovered from Covid-19 to save another person who was dying of the disease, a surgery that the doctors called an “important milestone.”

The donor lungs used in the surgery came from someone who recovered from a mild case of Covid-19, but later died in an accident, according to Dr. Ankit Bharat, chief of thoracic surgery and surgical director of the Northwestern Medicine Lung Transplant Program.

The case, which the doctors called a “Covid to Covid” transplant, is significant because about 30 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with the virus. If those people were ruled out as eligible donors, there would be a shortage of available lungs at a time when doctors expect the need for lung donations to increase due to the long-term health complications of some who have recovered.

“There would be a huge shortage of supply,” Bharat said, announcing the surgery during a virtual news conference Friday morning.

Though the general consensus among experts is that organs from donors who have

recovered from Covid-19 can be used as long as they test negative, some transplant centers are still concerned, doctors said.

“Currently, many transplant centers are worried about the risk of transmission of Covid-19 from donors, particularly for lung transplants, and are unnecessarily discarding these organs,” said Dr. Michael Ison, infectious diseases and organ transplantation specialist at Northwestern Medicine, in a news release.

Before the doctors decide to use a lung from a donor who had Covid-19, they screen it to make sure the virus has cleared the body and that the lungs have no significant damage caused by the virus, Bharat said. They use several tests including testing the lung fluid and performing a biopsy of the organ.

Bharat said 20% to 30% of people who come down with the virus end up having some lung damage, including people who were asymptomatic, so the screening for the suitability of lungs is important to avoid a bad outcome.

“I suspect we’re going to see more and more transplants after the feasibility of this one from donors that have a history of Covid,” he said.

The patient who received the lungs is an Illinois health care worker in his 60s who came down with the virus in May and was on a ventilator for several months, doctors

said. He spent a week on a transplant waitlist before receiving the lung donation.

Now, his new lungs are “working great” and he is on track to make a full recovery, Bharat said.

The hospital did not release the patient’s name.

Bharat and a team of surgeons in June performed the first double lung transplant in the U.S. to save a Covid-19 patient who was near death due to the virus. That patient, Mayra Ramirez, 28, is now recovering.

These lung transplants are more complex due to the extreme damage the virus wreaks on lungs in the most severe cases.

A normal double lung transplant typically takes six to seven hours, but lung transplants due to Covid-19 often take about 10 hours and require significantly more units of blood.

“It’s like a bomb blast has gone off,” Bharat told the Tribune last year, describing the lung damage of a typical patient.

To date, Northwestern has performed 14 of the surgeries for patients from across the United States. The patients face long recoveries, but so far, the hospital has seen an 100% survival rate, Bharat said.

“More patients require it,” Bharat said of the surgery. “It’s going to stress the system.

“We need to be creative to make sure we maximize our donor pool.”

Examples of brain damage symptoms may include chronic headaches, cognitive impairment, balance problems, depression or even life-threatening bleeding into the brain, with coma or brain death. Driving is one of the most dangerous things we do every day. Showering and bathing are also high-risk fall situations.

A recent study on older adults cited in the Cleveland Clinic’s Rheumatology Daily Briefing describes age, arthritis and back pain as factors placing someone in a high-risk for accidental falls. The study, published in Arthritis Research & Therapy, focused on people between the age of 65 and 80. Communitydwelling older adults in this age group, according to PJ Knox and co-authors, were more likely to take a tumble.

As a geriatrician, I would also mention sedating medications, poorly lit or slippery surfaces, visual impairment and prior neurological conditions as risk factors. Using handrails and moving slowly can help. A

mechanized lift chair may be necessary on staircases. Canes, walkers and other assistive devices may help.

Exercise diminishes the risk of falling among older adults, based on a meta-analysis of 46 studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine (Philipe de Souto Barreto and co-authors, 2019).

This effect was statistically significant among those performing long-term exercise, including balance exercises, two to three times a week. Exercise, however, “did not diminish the risk of multiple falls, hospitalizations and mortality.”

Let us focus on safety during Brain Injury Awareness Month.

We can all prevent falls, violence and motor vehicle accidents.

Wearing bike helmets is also critical. Protect your brain, please. You can never replace it.

The door to this new life is open to any who would acknowledge Jesus as their personal lord and savior, repent of their sins and follow him.

Wow! Great news, right?

God has promised all believers a new heart, a heart of flesh and love . . . “his own heart,” looking not only to one’s own needs but more to the needs of others. This is the only way to true “racial reconciliation and peace.”

During these years I have seen some behaviors even within my own congregation where this remains a struggle, but we know that peace is what God wants and so we press on.

The Washington Post James Huntsman, of a prominent Mormon family from Utah, filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday accusing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints of fraud, saying it spent members’ tithes meant for charity on commercial purposes.

In the suit, Huntsman says he wants back millions of dollars he donated and plans to give it to “organizations and communities whose members have been marginalized by the Church’s teachings and doctrines, including by donating to charities supporting LGBTQ, African-American, and women’s rights.”

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in California, comes 16 months after a former high-level investment manager with the church filed a whistleblower complaint to the Internal Revenue Service. The complaint, which The Washington Post obtained in December 2019, alleged that the church amassed about $100 billion in accounts intended for charitable purposes and misled members by stockpiling surplus donations using the tax-exempt donations to prop up a pair of businesses.

David Nielsen’s IRS complaint made worldwide news as it painted

The Rev. Patrick Serna is the lead pastor of Highway International Christian Fellowship / Christian and Missionary Alliance in Fairfield. Contact him at 372-1281.

Ensign Peak Advisors, the church’s investment division, as one of the largest funds in the country. According to the complaint, it is twice as large as the endowments of Harvard University and the Gates Foundation.

In a statement to The Post on Monday, a church spokesman said that Huntsman ended his membership last year and that his claims are “baseless.” It cited former church president Gordon B. Hinckley as saying in the early 2000s that the funds for the mall came from “commercial entities owned by the Church” and “earnings of invested reserve funds.”

“Tithing funds are voluntary contributions” by church members “as an expression of their faith in God. They are used for a broad array of religious purposes, including missionary work, education, humanitarian causes and the construction of meetinghouses, temples and other buildings important in the work of the Church, as reflected in scripture and determined

by Church leaders,” said the statement by Eric Hawkins.

Hawkins said the church is not in any kind of talks with the IRS about the complaint and that the church has not changed anything about the use of Ensign Peak funds since the IRS complaint.

Don’t listen to kids, choose fulfillment, self-esteem Dear Annie: I am a issue. They say that I’m 63-year-old mother of wasting my time at my two, who are in their age and that the school 20s. I am still active, would just be using me and I have attended a for money. They say private vocational school that I should realize I’m for nursing. I did very older and, instead of well, but unfortunately, pursuing my career, just at graduation, we were move into a rent-regucut off of our clinical Annie Lane lated senior apartment building instead. My hospital rotations due to Dear Annie daughter says they are Covid-19, which meant only trying to save me from that we were unable to do our making a fool of myself and extern work or get our license.

Seven months later, I decided wasting what money I have.

I don’t know at this point if to complete another medical program so that I can work in a maybe I’m not seeing reality or if the kids just want what’s doctor’s office as an extern. convenient for them. — The problem is that my children are fighting me on this Frustrated Mom

Horoscopes

Dear Frustrated Mom: Wasting money is never a good thing, but earning a nursing degree does not sound like a waste of money. In fact, it sounds like money well spent.

Who can put a price tag on job fulfillment and self-esteem? If you feel called to be a nurse, that is something to be pursued by you and applauded and celebrated by your family. Not sure what is going on with your kids, but it sounds like you made a good decision.

Dear Annie: My husband and I built a lovely home on a picturesque bubbling creek in the mountains. For years, we hosted friends and family

and created memories to last a lifetime.

When we issued invitations, we added “please bring what you want to drink and any favorite snacks.” In addition, we said we have only one housekeeping request: “fresh clean sheets are on the closet shelf. Please remake the bed before you leave.”

If anyone asked to bring fixings for a dinner or something to throw on the grill, or to take us out to dinner, we said, “Sure!”

All this made for a wonderful time for everyone, and we were never worn-out hosts. We also never detected any hint of

dissatisfaction. Everyone who came always wanted to come back – and did many times. — Made It Clear Dear Made It Clear: I love your letter. You took the initiative to set your ground rules from the beginning, and everyone agreed to them. That is the absolute best way to have a positive experience. It works in games – why wouldn’t it work in life? Thank you.

for your health

by Holiday Mathis

Today’s birthday A tone can be lovely on its own, but it is only a melody when you line it up with other notes, and only harmonious in relation to other tones. This year, you sing out alone, and then become part of a greater symphony. Meeting people takes effort and is always a risk. Your courage in this regard pays off many times over. Gemini and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 4, 44, 39 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re not trying to outdo anyone, though as you strive to deliver your best, it can’t be helped. Ignore those who will compete with you from the sidelines.

Focus only on your own development.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Analysis can only bring you to a point of decision; it cannot decide for you.

There’s a point in every situation in which logic will take a back seat to more insistent contenders such as emotion or the master driver of them all, action.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The subtle and wonderful aspects of a relationship can be felt but not kept. The rush of experience is as ungraspable as the waterfall – possible to touch but impossible to hold.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t need a reason why today because the reason “why not?” is such a heavy hitter. Yet, it’s also so quick and light on its feet that none of the other reasons will be able to knock it down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be reminded of how you can change the world right from where you are.

The same action with an altered attitude can make all the difference in the outcome and the effect on you and everyone around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll work harder, not because you’re afraid someone will overtake you but because it feels wonderful to push yourself to the limits of your ability. The resulting perks don’t hurt either.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). All subtlety is lost on the day. So, don’t even bother with dropping hints or gently reeling someone in. You’ll get where you want to be with more direct qualities like moxie, persistence and grit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Maybe you didn’t count on adding people to your life today, but some moments of connection so naturally roll into more of the same that, before you know it, you’ve made a friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Your words are soft; their delivery is clear, firm and concise. This is the communication of a power player, which you will embody today with the very effective influence of quiet persistence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The good thing about the sort of vague and contradictory input you’ll receive today is that it frees you to make your own assertions. Being both creative and willing to grapple with contradictions, you’ll excel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Those who come to you for consolation will receive your compassion, though not your sympathy, as you encourage strength and motivate the next action.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You cannot get back the time and energy you put into things. Today, your eyes scan this scene with keen urgency, looking to land on what’s not only interesting but also worthy of your contemplation.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: As an artist and tastemaker, Lady Gaga has risen to heights ne’er before reached by any celebrity before her: She has become a flavor of Oreo Cookie. The limited-edition creme-filled wafers emblazoned with hearts and solo dancing promote Gaga’s hallmark message of kindness and originality.

An Aries with Mercury and Jupiter in empathetic Pisces, the superstar’s intent is sweetly sincere.

Immunizations remain vital as people age

Research shows that the use of vaccines has decreased severe childhood illnesses such as whooping cough, measles and meningitis.

Dr. Colleen Townsend

T

Special to the Daily Republic

here is currently talk buzzing throughout our communities about immunizations. The widespread vaccination activities to prevent Covid-19 are a reminder of the importance and effectiveness of using vaccines to prevent illness. Vaccines are effective at preventing contagious illness and decreasing suffering and death.

While the health care and public health systems work tirelessly to ensure broad access to the Covid-19 vaccines to stem the effects of the novel coronavirus, remember to stay vigilant about other vaccinations to prevent serious illnesses.

Vaccinations are important for infants, children, adolescents and adults. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publishes a guideline to help individuals and families get the right vaccines at the right time of their life. Please visit this website to learn more information: www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/FAQs.html.

Vaccination for infants and children prevents specific illnesses for which this age group is vulnerable to become ill and have long-term effects.

For infants, a widely accepted schedule of vaccines begins shortly after birth and extends into the second year of life. These are required to com-

plete prior to starting school. These vaccines help prevent babies and young children from diseases from which they can become very ill and from which there can be long-term disabilities or even death. Most practices use combination vaccines whenever possible to decrease the number of “shots” at any visit.

Research does show that the use of vaccines has decreased severe childhood illnesses such as whooping cough, measles and meningitis (an infection in the brain). Research has not shown any long-term negative effects of giving multiple vaccines in a visit. The established vaccine schedule protects babies and young children from serious infections. Spacing out vaccinations results in a prolonged period of receiving vaccinations, more shots and delays the full immunity effects.

Many people wonder about the negative side effects of vaccines. Studies show that vaccines do not cause autism or other illnesses. Some infants may have a low-grade temperature or pain at the injection sites. These will usually go away after one to two days and are not dangerous. It is important for families to talk with their medical provider about the vaccine schedule and stay on track in order to ensure babies and young children are protected.

Rarely, some children or infants cannot be vaccinated due to illness or

immune system problems. Vaccination across the communities can prevent these infections from spreading to these vulnerable children.

For adolescents and adults, there may be a need for booster vaccines as well as vaccines for infections that are more common and dangerous in these age groups.

For instance, while tetanus infection is rare, the effects are devastating and a regular booster can prevent severe illness and death. Pertussis or whooping cough infections have increased over the past 10 years. This illness causes a severe cough and for some can cause death. This booster is combined with tetanus and is given at least once as an adult and in each pregnancy.

A vaccine to prevent human papillomavirus infection can prevent warts as well as some types of cancer. Also, based on age and other conditions, vaccinations for influenza, pneumonia and shingles (a painful rash related to a past history of chickenpox infection) can keep teens and adults healthy as well.

Vaccines aren’t just for babies and the flu. Please talk with your provider about the vaccines that can help you and your family stay healthy.

Colleen Townsend, M.D., is a family physician with the Partnership HealthPlan of California.

What is a vaccine passport, will you need one to travel?

Tribune Content Agency W hen t r aveler s venture back out, many – especially those flying overseas – will need to manage new requirements to prove they’ve tested negative for Covid-19 or received a vaccine.

Travel industry trade groups, airlines and other organizations are developing so-called vaccine passports to make it easier to navigate changing rules.

Most are in early stages or only used in certain destinations, though their creators say they are working to expand use. What’s less clear is whether any will emerge as a standard accepted broadly worldwide.

In the mean time, here’s what you need to know.

Attendees show off their “green passes” (proof of being fully vaccinated against Covid-19 coronavirus disease) as they arrive at Bloomfield Stadium in the Israeli Mediterranean coastal city of Tel Aviv, March 5, before attending a “green pass concert” for vaccinated seniors, organized by the Tel Aviv municipality.

What is a vaccine passport?

restrictions, including the type of test required at their destination.

A vaccine passport is a record of a traveler’s Covid-19-related health data, including whether they have been vaccinated or tested negative for the virus that causes it.

S ome c ou nt r ies required visitors show proof of certain vaccinations, such as yellow fever, before Covid-19, but the digital systems being developed would be more efficient than the current paper-based system, said Perry Flint, a spokesman for the International Air Transport Association, a trade group for airlines.

The airline group said the app it’s developing is focused on Covid-19 requirements, but it has the potential to cover additional vaccines.

The apps also provide information to help travelers navigate Covid-19 travel

Who’s making them?

The airline trade group is developing an app called Travel Pass meant to be used by any airline.

Another, CommonPass, is a project from Swiss NGO the World Economic Forum and The Commons Project Foundation, a nonprofit that develops technology for public use.

Clear, a service that lets members use biometrics to verify their identity at airport security and started operating at O’Hare International Airport in 2019, has a Health Pass app. Some airlines have their own versions.

How does it work?

That depends on the app. In addition to sharing information on

travel requirements and testing sites, some ask users to upload their health records.

Others, including CommonPass, let users connect to lab results and vaccination records through the app, which The Commons Project Foundation CEO Paul Meyer said helps prevent tampering. Users get a QR code they can show the airline before boarding or at customs, if their destination accepts the app as proof they meet the requirements to enter.

Clear uses CommonPass’s technology to link to users’ health records.

On certain United Airlines and Delta Air Lines flights from Los Angeles to Hawaii, Clear Health Pass users who meet Hawaii’s negative test requirements get a wristband at the gate that allows faster processing on arrival. There is a fee to use Clear at airport security, but Health Pass is free.

State unemployment at its lowest rate since pandemic began Tribune Content Agency California’s economic recovery gained pace in February as the state recouped jobs lost to a dire winter Covid-19 surge, bringing the unemployment rate to its lowest level since the onset of the pandemic last year, officials said.

The state’s jobless rate fell to 8.5% from 9.0% in January as employers added 141,000 jobs, according to state data

published Friday.

“Today’s news, along with the governor’s announcement this week that California is continuing to expand Covid-19 vaccine eligibility, is a milestone in our ongoing recovery,” said Dee Dee Myers, director of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, and state Labor Secretary Julie A. Su in a statement.

Do I need one to travel?

No. The World Health Organization said last month it does not support making vaccination mandatory for international travel because it’s not yet clear how effective vaccines are at preventing transmission of the virus that causes Covid-19, and because access to vaccines is limited.

Then there’s the question of whether digital vaccination certificates will be widely accepted.

The WHO is working to create a framework for a digital vaccination See Travel, Page B7

Swedish furniture giant Ikea and yellow bulldozer-maker Caterpillar Inc. typify the supply-chain headaches facing international companies due to the massive container ship blocking the Suez Canal.

Ikea said it’s considering all options to ensure availability of products such as flatpack beds and couches, while Caterpillar is said to be considering airlifting products if necessary.

Seabay International Freight Forwarding Ltd., a company that handles Chinese goods sold on platforms such as Amazon.com Inc., has 20 to 30 containers on the ships waiting to cross the blocked canal, according to owner Mark Ma. “If it can’t be resumed in a week, it will be horrible,” said Ma. “We will see freight fares spike again. The products are delayed, containers can’t return to China and we can’t deliver more goods.”

The challenges for international companies are only likely to worsen with efforts to dislodge the Ever Given vessel seen taking at least another five days, people familiar with the matter said Friday, increasing the likelihood of further disruption of the flow of everything from oil to grain and cars.

The crisis comes as companies were already battling the strain of adapting supply chains to cope with a pandemic-related e-commerce boom, while Covid-19 regulations at ports are slowing the passage of some products.

P&F Industries Inc., a U.S. maker of pneumatic hand tools, said the Suez shutdown only exacerbates delays to trade that have caused the firm to add six to eight weeks to expected delivery times.

State From Page B6 recovered nearly 91% of the jobs lost in December and January, when a coronavirus surge and business closures took a grim toll on employment.

About a third of the job gains came in Los Angeles County, where small businesses were hard hit during the surge.

Now they are calling back workers as the state and county relax coronavirus restrictions, analysts said. Tourism-focused San Diego County provided another 23% of the jobs gained.

Pent-up demand, savings some people have accumulated during the pandemic and warming weather will continue to spur consumption and employment, especially in services, said Sung Won Sohn, a Loyola Marymount University economist.

The state’s job market “still has a steep hill to climb” to get back to the pre-pandemic, high employment of a year ago, said Lynn Reaser, an economist at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. February’s unemployment rate is about double the 4.3% rate of February 2020, and the state has 1.6 million unemployed workers.

Myers and Su said

Suez From Page B6 week, even two weeks before customs and everything else lets you go,” Chief Executive Officer Richard A. Horowitz told analysts this week.

“That’s something that’s going on with us for several months now.”

unemployment continues to disproportionately affect women and communities of color. “Latino and Asian American workers have been hard hit on the front lines as essential workers.

African Americans have applied for unemployment benefits at astounding rates, further evidence of the inequities we must address to ensure a strong, equitable recovery,” their statement said.

California officials lifted regional coronavirus stay-at-home orders across the state in late January, and more restrictions were loosened regionally earlier this month as the state hit a goal of vaccinating 2 million residents in its most disadvantage areas. In Los Angeles County, restaurants, personal care salons and gyms have reopened indoors at limited capacity. In Orange County, Disneyland is planning to reopen with limited capacity and some restrictions April 30.

With the gradual reopening of the economy, job growth has bounced back in a sector most beleaguered during the pandemic: leisure and hospitality. Restaurants, bars, hotels and sporting events and other activities in this sector accounted for 72% of the jobs gains in February.

While A.P. MollerMaersk A/S and Hapag-Lloyd AG are considering sending ships around Africa to avoid the gridlock, Seabay’s Ma said detouring ships may not be a viable solution, due to risks taking unfamiliar routes and extended shipment times.

“What if the canal got cleared in eight to ten days? You lose even more time,” he said.

Amazon faces new lawsuit over books Tribune Content Agency A proposed class-action lawsuit from a Seattle firm has added to the swarm of antitrust scrutiny gathering around Amazon.

The suit, filed Thursday in federal court in New York on behalf of Chicagoarea bookseller Bookends and Beginnings, alleges Amazon colluded to fix prices on print books.

Amazon’s restrictive contracts with major publishers has made it impossible for book retailers to try to beat Amazon on price, Seattle law firm Hagens Berman alleges in the suit. The contracts, with publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random

Digital rights nonprofit the Electronic Frontier Foundation has raised concerns about equity, since worldwide access to the vaccine remains limited.

“It’s creating a society of haves and have nots, who can come in and who can’t,” said Alexis Hancock, EFF’s director of engineering.

Where can they be used?

Most vaccine passports are still being developed or only in use at certain destinations.

In addition to flights between Los Angeles and Hawaii using Clear, CommonPass is being used on

House and Simon & Schuster – known as the “Big Five” – prohibit the publishers from selling books to other retailers for less than the price they offer Amazon, provisions Hagens Berman has said are “anticompetitive.” Attorneys are proposing the class include all booksellers that bought books from the Big Five after March 2017.

Amazon did not respond to questions about allegations in the suit.

The owner of Bookends & Beginnings, Nina Barrett, said in a statement that Amazon’s growth has threatened her business.

“I’ve watched Amazon grow into the juggernaut it’s become,” she said. “I’ve

experienced firsthand the devastation to publishing, bookselling, and to local brick-and-mortar shopping that’s resulted.”

Hagens Berman has a lengthy history of filing class-action suits alleging price-fixing. In 2011, the firm sued Apple, contending the tech giant was propping up e-book prices to the detriment of consumers. It launched another case against Amazon earlier this year leveling similar price-fixing allegations about the company’s e-book division.

Days before that suit was filed, authorities in Connecticut said they had also launched a probe into whether Amazon’s deals to acquire e-books

from publishers violate antitrust laws.

Amazon is facing ongoing antitrust investigations by attorneys general in California, New York and Washington. Founder Jeff Bezos was grilled by the House antitrust subcommittee last year about Amazon’s allegedly unfair practices against third-party vendors using its platform.

Nearly 90% of online sales of print books route through Amazon, according to a report last year from the House antitrust subcommittee. The company is also responsible for 50% of all sales of print books, the report said.

The International Air Transport Association has been testing its app and expects it to be available by late March or early April. Airlines could also integrate portions of the association’s app into their own, Flint said.

Some currently only accept Covid-19 test records. Clear said it will begin validating vaccine records soon, and United plans to start letting customers flying to eligible destinations upload and store vaccination records using its app in early April.

Should I be worried about privacy?

Vaccine passport creators haven’t shared many details on how they will protect users’ information, Hancock said, raising concerns about privacy and data breaches.

The International Air Transport Association and CommonPass said apps won’t store data in a central place and will let users choose when to share it.

Consumers may decide it’s worth sharing vaccine status or test results with airlines, which already have a lot of their personal information, said Matthew Kugler, an associate professor at Northwestern

Can they be used for anything besides travel?

Chicago-based Hyatt is exploring using VeriFLY, the same app American Airlines uses, to let people planning events set up criteria for meeting participants, such as a negative Covid-19 test.

The Commons Project Foundation is working with hotels, cruises and schools to potentially use CommonPass to verify test or vaccine records, Meyer said.

Clear has partnered with companies that use its app to conduct health questionnaires, temperature checks or require Covid-19 tests for employees or customers. The Buffalo Sabres, for instance, are using Health Pass to have fans get tested and take a screening questionnaire before attending hockey games.

In brief Summer Hire program scheduled to resume JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — More than 1,300 students will get an opportunity to develop and hone their skills under the Department of the Air Force’s flagship summerhire program.

The 2021 Summer Hire Employment Program provides students in high school, college, trade school, vocational school and other qualifying educational programs with opportunities to work in federal departments and agencies and to explore federal careers while still in school, said Tracy Wise, Civilian Recruitment and Placement branch chief.

In past years and preCovid-19, the program, which runs from May through September, would have upwards of 2,000 available positions.

This year, the Air Force’s Personnel Center received 1,318 requests from participating stateside and overseas bases.

Interested candidates can learn more about the available positions by searching using the word “summer hire” or “student” and apply following the directions shown on the announcement or public notice.

ROTC trims length of enlisted assignments M A X W EL L A IR FORCE BASE, Ala. — Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps headquarters has reduced the number of years enlisted cadre serve at detachments from four to three years.

Effective March 1, the reduction aligns the tour length with those of other special duty assignments, such as military training instructors and leaders, stateside enlisted professional military education instructors and technical training instructors.

“The reduction allows these professional Airmen the opportunity to serve outside their operational career field for a short time, gain insight, mentor our future leaders and then return quicker to their career field more experienced well-rounded NCOs,” said Chief Master Sgt. Nichole Dunton, Headquarters AFROTC senior enlisted leader.

Program tracks volcanic ash Air Force News Service OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. — Although the 557th Weather Wing is primarily focused on applying environmental knowledge and outcomes to directly and deliberately impose cost on the adversary, it also has a lesser-known role monitoring volcanoes and tracking mission-impacting ash plumes.

These plumes also affect commercial flying operations and require a close partnership with one of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers.

The 557th Weather Wing serves as the backup to the Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center via its own Volcanic Ash Advisory Center located within the 2nd Weather Squadron.

This backup capability ensures that the Department of Commerce continues to protect general and commercial aviation over the U.S by leveraging Department of Defense capabilities.

“The (2nd Weather Squadron) has had a long-standing relationship with the Washington (Volcanic Ash Advisory Center),” said Staff Sgt. Theresa Rutledge, 2nd Weather Squadron Meteorological Satellite noncommissioned officer in charge. “Our relationship was further

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The independent review commission charged with looking into sexual assaults in the U.S. military kicked off its 90-day investigation Wednesday with an online meeting for the highly qualified experts and leads for the commission’s four lines of effort.

During a press briefing at the Pentagon, commission chairperson Lynn Rosenthal explained the importance of the independent review commission’s mission and what it’s been asked to do.

“The charge of the independent review commission is to make this broad assessment and then make recommendations to the secretary of defense and ultimately to the president,” she said.

“These people will be deliberating on those recommendations. I don’t expect an in-the-weeds view of 150 policies that should be tweaked around the edges. That is not what we are about. We are about looking at major shifts and big picture items that could really change the culture, improve care for victims, bring about evidencebased prevention and hold offenders accountable.”

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III announced the creation of the commission in a Feb. 26 memorandum to DefenseDepartmentleaders.

“Sexual assault and harassment remain persistent and corrosive problems across the total force,” wrote Austin. “I expect every member of our total force to be part of the solution and leaders – both civilian and military – across the Department to take direct accountability to drive meaningful change.”

In the memorandum, Austin ordered the establishment of the 90-day “Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military,” which he said supports the president’s efforts to address sexual assault and harassment in the military.

Sexual assault has been a problem in the U.S. military for many years. The services have been trying to solve the problem for decades now. Rosenthal said she believes the IRC will have a new take on the issue and will be looking at new aspects of the problem to try to find a solution that works.

Official urges action on artificial intelligence Department of Defense News WASHINGTON, D.C. — Now is the time for decision makers, commanders and policymakers within the Defense Department to get on board with fully implementing artificial intelligence, the director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center said.

Right now, said Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Michael Groen, AI is being used in many places across the department – but not at scale.

“I think you know you can see 1,000 flowers blooming across the Department of Defense and that’s really powerful – it’s a step in the right direction,” he said, speaking at the National Defense Industrial Association. “But we need to start building on it. This is a truism that I think bears repeating again and again: If we want artificial intelligence to be our future, then we have to start building it in the present.”

Accomplishing that will mean a lot of change and work within the department, he said.

“We have to do this comprehensively,” he said. “Transformation has to be wholesale if it’s going to be effective. The magic really starts happening when you connect automated processes.

So if you have a data-driven process and it can drive another data-driven process – now you’re starting to execute at scale.”

Groen said the entire warfighting enterprise must be modernized to accommodate full integration of AI. “We have to think about enterprise effects, decision tools that derive from massive data flows and integrated infrastructure that allows any sensor to inform any decision maker or any sensor to inform any system,” he said.

It’s not just warfighting that has to evolve – the systems that support the warfighting effort must as well, he said. “(When) you think about the Department of Defense, there’s the warfighting end of the Department of Defense, but there’s the large gears that turn under-

Ash: Contract renews communications From Page B8 Ash Advisory Center, with the critical help of the 16th Weather Squadron and 2nd Systems Operations Squadron, re-established the communications connection between the 557th Weather Wing and the Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center which had been inoperative for the past several months.

Critical communications with the Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center have been restored, and the nation’s commerce will continue to be protected by leveraging the capabilities of the 557th Weather Wing.

“We were experiencing an ongoing issue of (2nd Weather Squadron) products not disseminating properly to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center webpage during

outages. With the help of (2nd Systems Operations Squadron), (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and (information technology) at the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center, we were able to restore capabilities to 100% within the week due to the cooperation we have between both civilian and military entities,” Rutledge said.

With a diverse mission of its own that extends from space weather to meteorological operations at the top-secret level, the 2nd Weather Squadron manages the Deparment of Defense’s only volcanic ash advisory center. Operated by the 2nd Weather Weather Squadron’s Intelligence Flight, analysts are tasked with monitoring 1,500 active volcanoes around the globe 24/7 with a spe-

cific focus on eruptions that release volcanic ash and have direct impacts to Deparment of Defense operations.

Analysts use opensource intelligence, which includes social media and webcams as well as meteorological satellite imagery to identify possible eruptions. Once identified, they verify the presence of any volcanic ash. Once volcanic ash is detected, analysts issue a volcanic ash bulletin. These text bulletins include specific details about the ash eruption to include location of the volcano, detection source, trajectory and where further information can be found.

The 2nd Weather Squadron also produces unique forecast animations to allow Deparment of Defense units to see ash accumulation, concentra-

Ash cloud information is especially important to aircrew. Volcanic ash is a significant hazard to aircraft as most need to remain at least 50 nautical miles away from volcanic ash to prevent an incident. Ash can enter aircraft engines causing them to catch fire and/or completely fail.

“The 557th Weather Wing and (2nd Weather Squadron) will continue to utilize its unique capabilities to identify, coordinate and disseminate tailored information that not only serves (Deparment of Defense) operations, but also the national interest domestically via its partnership with the Department of Commerce,” said Lt. Col. Daniel Santiago, 2nd Weather Squadron commander.

It’s a natural target for AI implementation to create more efficiencies and economies and effectiveness in those large scale enterprises.”

Modernizing business processes within the department is also important, he said, in part to help the department become more compliant with auditability requirements.

“The department has historically been challenged from an audibility perspective, being able to account for where all of our dollars are. . . .

implementation ground for artificial intelligence right in our business practices,” he said.

The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, he said, is aiming to help the Defense Department achieve the efficiency and effectiveness seen in commercial enterprise.

Achieving national security objectives with AI can’t be accomplished by the Department of Defense alone, Goren said. Industry must be a part of that, he said.

“I don’t want you to underestimate the key role that you play in underpinning national security,” he said. “Your participation in this dialogue, and your participation in this transformation, is going to be absolutely critical.”

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 10 TO THE SOLANO COUNTY CODE, RELATING TO THE ABATEMENT OF PUBLIC NUISANCES A proposed ordinance to add Chapter 10 to the Solano County Code, relating to the abatement of public nuisances, was introduced at the Solano County Board of Supervisors’ regular meeting on March 23, 2021. The Board will consider adopting the ordinance on April 6, 2021.

The proposed ordinance establishes a uniform administrative procedure to facilitate the abatement of public nuisances and enforcement of the Solano County Code as authorized by Cal. Government Code sec. 25845 that begins with an informal process seeking voluntary compliance; followed by a formal process and an order to abate, with the ability to appeal an abatement order to an independent hearing officer. The proposed ordinance authorizes the County to abate any nuisance if the respondent fails to perform any ordered abatement and fails to appeal the decision of an enforcement officer and allows the County to recoup the costs of abatement against the owner of any subject property.

The remedies proposed in the ordinance are cumulative and are not intended to limit or supersede any other remedy available by law for the abatement of public nuisances or enforcement of County ordinances.

This summary will be published once in the Fairfield Daily Republic, a newspaper of general circulation, at least five (5) days before the Board of Supervisors’ meeting on April 6, 2021.

If adopted, the ordinance will take effect thirty (30) days later.
