Suisun council to consider pay cuts to city treasurer, city clerk Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

SIUSIN CITY — A proposal Tuesday before the City Council will keep the mayor’s and council members’ salaries at more than $7,800 annually.

Vacaville and Vallejo are the only Solano County cities that pay their mayor and council more, according to the staff report to the City Council. Vallejo also provides a $1,900 monthly allowance to its mayor.

No other cities offer that, according to the staff report.

The state code provides for a base salary of a maximum of $300 monthly for cities with Suisun City’s population. An addendum permits an additional 5% of pay for each calendar year.

The council increased its salary in 2007 to $654.86 monthly and set a vehicle allowance by resolution, the staff report states. No changes to elected officials’ sal-

Fairfield council to raise idea of pay hike for themselves Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — The City Council will discuss the possibility Tuesday of a pay raise for themselves – the first in 32 years.

“City Council member salaries have not increased since 1988 when the current $500 per month salary was adopted,” a staff report to the council states. “In addition, the mayor’s salary has not increased since 1988 with the current $600 per month.”

The council is given three options to consider. n Increase salary from $500 per month to $600 per month based on population. The option follows state code. n Increase salary from $500 per month to $600 per month, with a 5% annual increase

FAIRFIELD — A proposed $3.3 billion bond that proponents argue will “accelerate California’s economic recovery and build a healthier, more equitable and resilient food and farm system,” cleared the Assembly Agriculture Committee Thursday.

Assembly Bill 125 – the Equitable Economic Recovery, Healthy Food Access, Climate Resilient Farms and Worker Protection Bond Act – cleared the committee on a 10-0 vote.

“Covid-19 has exposed many vulnerabilities and inequalities in our state’s food supply chain and infrastructure, and AB 125 will get at the heart of these issues,” bill author

for each calendar year dating back to 1989. This increase would equate to $1,300 per month. n Increase salary by 2.5% over 32 years, increasing salary from $500 per month to $900 per month.

“Staff estimates an annual increase in General Fund cost of $8,500 for Option 1, an increase of $70,000 for Option 2, and an increase of $35,000 for Option 3,” the staff report states.

City Council members receive compensation not only for their service on the council, but also for their service on the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District’s governing board. Council members from both cities comprise the district’s governing board.

Tribune Content Agency LONDON — The coffin of Britain’s Prince Philip was interred in the royal vault of St George’s Chapel in Windsor at the end of a funeral service that featured just 30 mourners on Saturday.

Queen Elizabeth II, his wife of 73 years, was forced to sit alone during the service due to the strict coronavirus regulations in place in England.

The prince, who was also known as the duke of Edinburgh, was laid to

rest just over a week after he died at age 99.

The queen’s expression was not captured by the television cameras during the service.

However, photographers who were permitted to take pictures prior to the start captured the queen, dressed in all black, sitting in her own in a pew and gazing at her husband’s coffin.

The bill would go before voters in the fall of 2022 if it clears the Legislature.

Two animal rights organizations spoke in opposition to the legislation.

The bond would provide $60 million “for grants to develop meat processing facilities and expand or upgrade meat processing facilities to increase meat processing capacity . . .,” the bill language states.

For example, some stores sell small hamster tubes that can be dangerous if the animals get stuck in them. They also may sell wheels that are too small.

“If hamsters run in a wheel that’s not big enough, it will cause back problems,” Katheryn said, “like if you’re always crouched over your computer.”

Katheryn gobbled up information online about gerbils, hamsters and mice. She learned about how much space they need, what they eat and which ones like to live alone.

She says there are many misconceptions about small-animal care.

“I love caring for pets, and I also like getting up on my soapbox,” she said, laughing, “and telling people how to do something better.”

So in January, Katheryn set up Petites Pattes, designed a website and asked for donations on her neighborhood message group. Family and neighbors donated money and supplies. She rescued her first animal in January from a family that was moving – a hamster she named Pluto. Pluto found

Since then, Katheryn has posted a Craigslist ad looking for unwanted small animals to rescue. In March, she and her mom traveled to Virginia for a pickup that was larger than expected: one hamster and five mice, including three identical albino females.

Several have been adopted.

Kather yn wr ites detailed descriptions of the animals’ personalities and wants to find a good match with human adopters. On her website, she describes Cow, a short-haired Syrian hamster, as curious and needing a large enclosure.

The teen would like to expand to rescuing rats, guinea pigs and ferrets, but these animals need larger spaces. For now, she’ll stick to the little guys. After all, she said, she has a small bedroom.

The Washington Post Katheryn Collins understands better than most people that just because a pet may be tiny enough to weigh on a kitchen scale, that doesn’t mean it needs only tiny amounts of attention and love.

Katheryn, a sophomore at Wheaton High School in Silver Spring, Maryland, recently started an organization that cares for unwanted gerbils, hamsters and mice. She finds adopters and helps educate people about how to care for the critters.

Her organization is called Petites Pattes Rescue.

Petites Pattes means “little paws” in French.

“I think people don’t think about the care of small animals,” Katheryn said. “They just think, ‘I’ll just get a small cage.’ “ But often these pets don’t have the right containers, toys or food. “It’s not as obvious when they need rescuing as it is with dogs and cats,” she said.

Katheryn, who will be 16 in May, has grown up with animals. Her mom has rescued large dogs, cats and rats. But nothing as little as her sister’s friend’s gerbils, whom Katheryn met last year. It was love at first snuggle.

“They have fuzzy tails,” she said, “and I love their curious personalities and how social they are.”

In September, after several weeks of research, Katheryn bought two gerbils and named them Connor and Oliver. She got them from a pet store – which she regretted once she learned that many small mammals live in unsuitable homes and need rescuing from them. She

FAIRFIELD — Another 71 confirmed novel coronavirus cases were added Friday to Solano County’s pandemic total.

“The 71 cases are pretty much all from this last week, so they are relatively new cases,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview.

The increase comes a day after an increase of 70 cases that was explained away generally by delayed reporting from the state.

However, the higher numbers over the past week not tied to the reporting delays are instead linked directly to Easter and the spring holidays.

Last year it was Moth-

Of course, this year there are ongoing vaccinat ions, w it h 165,000 residents 16 or older (47.8% of that population) having received at least one shot, and 101,000 (29.3%) having received both doses.

Two additional deaths were reported, one man, one woman, both of whom were elderly and suffered from advanced Alzheimer’s disease and were

in hospice care at their boarding facilities. Mayas said both had prominent Covid-19 symptoms. The total number of deaths linked to the disease now stands at 211.

Hospitalizations went up to 27, but only four of the patients are in intensive care units.

“So that pattern continues,” Matyas said.

The total case number in the county is 31,875, with Vallejo reaching 9,500 cases with 25 new reports. Fairfield added 20 cases to take its total to 8,671. Vacaville is at 8,313 cases after 17 new reports, the county reported.

Suisun City (2,180) added six cases; Dixon (1,837) added two cases;

FAIRFIELD — It has been five months since Solano County has had an unemployment rate below 8%.

That threshold was reached in March when the rate was reported at 7.8%. It was 7.5% in November, the Labor Market Division of the state Employment Development Department reported.

The November report was issued Dec. 18, which was the day after the state was shut down again because of the holiday Covid-19 surge.

Since then, the jobless rate in Solano County was reported by the EDD as 8.6% in December; 8.6% in January; 8.1% in February and now 7.8% in March.

The unemployment rate in March 2020 was See Jobless, Page A4

and Benicia (915) added one. There were no new reports in Rio Vista (358) or in the unincorporated area of the county (101).

The seven-day positivity testing rate improved from 6.2% to 6%, while the number of active cases was down 17 to 373, the county reported.

The number of individuals tested climbed by 452 to 197,287. The total number of tests administered was at 301,394, an increase of 1,049, the county reported.

Lois Melba Martin

March 10, 1930 — April 5, 2021

Lois was the daughter of LeRoy and Jewell Jones. Born in Big Spring, Texas, she was the oldest of four siblings.

Her family moved to California in the 1940s, where she met her future husband, Ken Martin, on Valentine’s Day in 1946 in Gridley. They married in July 1947.

After living in the north valley area, Boonville and the Sacramento Valley, Lois and Ken moved to Camino in 1966 and finished raising their five children, Keith Martin, Terryl Martin (deceased in 1971), Gary Martin (deceased in 2021), Scott Martin and Helen Martin (Waugh). Lois and Ken had 14 grandchildren, 17 greatgrandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sisters, Betty Jones and Carolyn Thompson, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Lois was a wife and mother first and foremost, but worked at many jobs throughout her life. From packing rations at the old Fruit Growers building in Placerville during Vietnam to

working quality control at Certainteed Pipe plant in the late 1970s. Her last career was recorder-clerk for First American Title Company in Fairfield.

After almost 49 years of marriage, she lost her husband Ken in 1996, but continued to work until 2006, then retired to Pollock Pines.

Lois loved her family, animals, nature, yearly trips to the coast, music and bluegrass festivals, and was an artist who took time every month to paint, which she enjoyed greatly. Plus everyone waited in anticipation each fall for the new batch of apple butter she made.

While AnnieKate deeply loved her husband and children, life was only complete for her with multiple friends to share it with. She had a magical ability for making and nurturing friendships.

Annie-Kate was warm and funny and smart and kind and thoughtful. And yet, she didn’t suffer fools gladly. Once she considered you a friend, she carefully tended the relationship – with greeting cards or letters, with phone calls, with card games, with dinner parties, with traveling adventures. The friendships she and Duffy built always brought such delight and much laughter. Why were people so drawn to her? Her best friend, Mary, said: ‘Because of her love of people, she accepted them as they were. She didn’t try to change them.

If she liked you, she liked you. She only offered advice if you asked for it. And her advice was always pretty damn good.’

She was a wonderful wife, parent and friend, and will be greatly missed.

Annie-Kate is survived by her four children, Russell (Tobae), Kevin (Lori), Ken (Marni) and Robin (Leslie); seven grandchildren, Daniel, Mark, Erin, Ender, Karisa, Ryan and Jonny; 10 greatgrandchildren, Kiran, Akshay, Prakash, Priya, Jeremiah, Abigail, Hannah, Chloe and Willow (with one more on the way); and a multitude of close friends.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that, in honor and memory of Annie-Kate, you put out the hand of friendship to all who will take it, and perform acts of kindness to strangers you meet.

There will be a celebration of Annie-Kate’s life at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 10, 2021, at Mary and Don’s home, 337 Arizona St. The event is limited to people who knew her. Dress is casual. For those easily able to, please bring a dish to share. Beverages will be provided. The event will be in the back yard, so please enter via the gates on the right side of the house. For those not fully vaccinated, please maintain physical distance from all the guests.

California native Jean Keeler passed away from complications of Alzheimer’s disease. She was 96 years old.

Jean was born in Sacramento to William and Hazel Vorwerk.

Jean grew up in Vallejo and graduated from Vallejo High School in 1944.

After high school graduation she attended Oregon State.

In 1947, Jean married Jack Keeler, also of Vallejo.

Shortly after their marriage they moved to Fairfield where they lived for the next 70 years and raised two children.

Jean was involved in many social and civic activities in and around the Fairfield-Suisun community.

Jean loved working in her garden and on various arts and crafts projects.

Jean is survived by her children, Kathleen Kelleher, Ken (Susan); granddaughter, Amy Kelleher; and stepgrandson, Daniel Kelleher (Jaci).

Annie-Kate McDuff passed away peacefully in Fairfield, California, at the age of 98. Her last years were spent at the Village at Rancho Solano, where she received warm and loving care from their wonderful staff. With the assistance of Sutter hospice, Annie-Kate’s last week was spent with family and friends at the second home of her dear friends, Mary and Don Montgomery of Ohio.

Born Lois Warren in Dodge City, Kansas, Annie-Kate (who changed her first name after the death of her mother, as she always wanted a hyphenated name) was the only daughter of Russell and Edna (Cutbirth) Warren. graduated as She the salutatorian of her beloved Dodge City High School. After graduation, she attended the Barnes School of Commerce in Denver to hone her secretarial skills. She then applied to the Civil Service and, at age 18, was delighted to get a posting in D.C. with the Veteran’s Administration, where she worked for five years.

In late 1945, she met Leon (‘Duffy’) McDuff at a dance in Fort Belvoir, where he was a sergeant in the Army. The two fell madly, deeply in love and were quickly engaged.

They married in August of 1946 and their honeymoon was a cross-country trek to move west, where Duffy attended USC. Annie-Kate and Duffy began their family of four children in 1951 in the San Fernando Valley.

After a short but lovely period in Corona, California, they relocated to Northern California, settling in Fairfield in 1964.

Annie-Kate and Duffy joined the United Methodist Church of Fairfield, where they found deep fellowship and purpose.

Following a financial setback, Annie-Kate returned to work as a secretary for the Director of Public Works in Fairfield.

Though she was a fabulous secretary – oh, could that woman type, so fast and with accuracy! – her heart was only in three places: with her family, her friends and her pets (dogs and cats).

The shooting was reported at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Kentucky Street near Napa Street, the Police Department reports in a press release.

Officers who arrived

there found two men who had been shot. They were transported to local trauma centers where they remained in serious but stable condition Friday, police report.

Mom: Ohio teen with AK-47 confused about NY gun laws Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — The mother of an 18-year-old Ohio man caught with an AK-47 in a midtown Manhattan subway said her son wasn’t planning any violence – he just thought it would be okay to visit New York with an assault rifle in tow.

“I BEG of the media to quit painting a bad picture of my son whom was misinformed of the gun laws in NY,” the mother of suspect Saadiq Teague messaged a Daily News reporter on Saturday.

“He was visiting Times Square for the first time to see it in person. He was so excited and happy and had no other reasons for being in NY!” she said.

Teague – whose father was killed in a police shootout in Columbus, Ohio, last month – was arrested Friday around 12:30 p.m. inside the 42nd St./Port Authority station, sitting near a cell phone

charging station with the AK-47 in plain view.

The rifle did not have a magazine inserted. A magazine and ammunition were within Teague’s reach, said law enforcement sources.

Teague was questioned by detectives from the NYPD Intelligence Bureau before he was charged with multiple counts of gun possession and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia. He told cops he owned the weapon legally in another state, according to a source.

Cops also recovered a gas mask, which sources said Teague attached to a bong while smoking marijuana.

Minutes before his arrest, the young suspect posted an Instagram video ragging on the Big Apple – revealing a black, metal object sticking out of his backpack.

“F--- New York!” the young man screamed into the camera as he walked down the street. A timestamp read 12:18 p.m.

Changes to Shasta water release designed to

protect salmon Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

RIO VISTA — The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on Sunday will begin releasing warmer water from the upper layers of the Shasta Reservoir directly into the Sacramento River to maintain flows, while saving colder water for the winter-run Chinook salmon migration.

“The only remaining population of winter-run Chinook salmon in the Central Valley is in the Sacramento River downstream of Shasta Dam,” David Mooney, Reclamation’s Bay-Delta office manager, said in a statement released Friday.

“Last year, despite dry conditions, we effectively shaped cold water for higher survival rates, but other factors reduced survival to very low levels. Protecting egg

‘The only remaining population of winter-run Chinook salmon in the Central Valley is in the Sacramento River downstream of Shasta Dam.’ — David Mooney, Reclamation’s Bay-Delta office manager

incubation in this second year will help support this endangered species for the future.”

The operational change is coordinated with the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration Fisheries, Western Area Power Administration, the state Water Resources Control Board, and Sacramento River settlement contractors.

No additional water from Shasta Reservoir will be released during this temporary adjustment.

Only the withdrawal elevation and timing of water releases will change.

The release of the warmer water does require it to bypass Shasta Dam’s power plant and temperature control device. It will be diverted directly through the dam’s river outlets into the river.

Bypassing that power plant means hydropower will not be produced with this water and will have a financial impact on Central Valley Project power customers and requirements to meet the state’s clean energy goals.

It is not expected to affect river users in Solano County, the agency reported.

“ T his operat ion adjustment is part of a suite of tools Reclamation is deploying with our partner agencies and stakeholders during this critically dry year,” Reclamation Regional Director Ernest Conant said in the statement.

“Reclamation appreciates the flexibility and coordination with our fellow agencies and partners on this operation adjustment to give winter-run Chinook the best chance of survival. We know we are going to have a difficult water year ahead of us, but we learned much during the last drought and are applying those lessons learned to our operations this year,” Conant said in the statement.

This warmer water averages 55 degrees at this time of year.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, April 18, 2021 A7

Report: Pompeo, wife made over 100 personal requests of State Department employees Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his wife, Susan Pompeo, repeatedly misused State Department resources and staff for personal business, violating the ethical standards of the department, according to a long-awaited inspector general’s report.

The report details more than 100 instances of misconduct that “had no apparent connection to the official business of the Department.”

In one instance, an aide to the former secretary spent government time in 2019 preparing for a meeting with a Kansas political organization, which included one of Pompeo’s donors, the report found.

The couple also had State Department staff “picking up personal items, planning events unrelated to the Department’s mission, and conducting such personal business as pet care and mailing personal Christmas cards,” the report said.

The report confirms that the inspector general’s investigation began with a whistleblower complaint that “that Department staff members were asked to complete tasks of a personal nature” by the Pompeos.

The whistleblower complaint was first obtained by McClatchy in July.

Politico first uncovered and published the inspector general report Friday.

McClatchy confirmed its authenticity and the State Department later distributed it publicly.

The inspector general’s office concluded that the couple violated the

In a file photo, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his wife, Susan Pompeo, arrive at Blaise Diagne International Airport in Senegal, Feb. 15, 2020.

Department’s rules and the standard of conduct for the executive branch – a damaging finding for the former secretary of state and CIA director who is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

Pompeo issued a strongly worded statement through a spokesman Friday evening blasting the report as “another attempt to slander me and worse, my wife by our own government.”

The former Cabinet secretary and former Kansas congressman called the report a political document and criticized its leak to the media before its official release.

“Every American should fear that their government can traffic in lies and deception in order to smear them and ruin their reputation because they disagree with their political positions,” Pompeo said. “Susan Pompeo served America and Amer-

ica’s diplomats and their families with dignity.”

The report describes a senior adviser who spent more than three months preparing for a June 2019 visit to Washington, D.C., by the Kansas chapter of YPO, a leadership organization formerly known as the Young Presidents’ Organization, of which Pompeo is a member.

“The list of trip participants prepared by Mrs. Pompeo and provided to the Senior Advisor stressed the prior political support of several members to Secretary Pompeo’s campaigns for the House of Representatives, but did not reference any connection between the visit and Departmental business,” the report said.

“For example, Mrs. Pompeo’s list noted that one attendee ‘was one of Mike’s biggest supporters during his years in Congress, hosting the single largest fundraiser held by

Pompeo for Kansas,’ while another attendee ‘sat on the Pompeo for Kansas Finance Council.’ ” The YPO event took place when there was widespread speculation that Pompeo would run for U.S. Senate in 2020, based on his frequent trips to the state and exhortations from Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell.

Pompeo said in his statement that at no point did he or his wife misuse taxpayer money or violate ethical rules. He added that their actions were regularly reviewed by dozens of lawyers.

“The report is filled with factual errors and out of context acts between my wife and her friend of over 30 years that have been twisted into lies meant to sully our good work for the people of America,” Pompeo said.

A letter from Pompeo’s attorney to the inspector general’s office confirms the the identity of the aide at

the center of investigation as Toni Porter, Pompeo’s former Wichita-based district director during his tenure in Congress.

McClatchy first reported the couple’s treatment of Porter was the focus of the inquiry last year.

Porter, who also worked for Pompeo at the CIA, has long-standing ties to the couple.

Pompeo had then-President Donald Trump fire the State Department’s inspector general, Steve Linick, last May, but the work of his office continued under new leadership.

Pompeo’s attorney William Burck accused the inspector general’s office of holding a bias against Pompeo’s family.

“At best, the Draft Report amounts to little more than a compilation of picayune complaints cherry-picked by the drafters in an effort to

twist innocent, routine and even praise-worthy behavior into something nefarious,” Burck said in the April 2 letter shared with McClatchy.

Burck contended that Porter’s “common courtesy assistance” to the secretary’s wife did not violate State Department ethics rules because Susan Pompeo was not a State Department employee.

“To get around this rather obvious obstacle to the whole premise of their report, the drafters make the assumption – without a shred of factual support – that Mrs. Pompeo acted at all times at the direction of Mr. Pompeo,” Burck said.

“We had thought the time was long past that anyone would consider wives to be mere extensions of their husbands, but that antiquated and offensive view animates the entire Draft Report.”

It’s all just great Well, Californians, are we not just jumping with glee that we are finally rid of that pesky Trump? And aren’t we ecstatic with the great things coming our way – and indeed some of them have already arrived!

Just think about it! Our schools are closed but our borders are open.

Additionally, the teachers who have been afraid to go back to school for a year have volunteered to go to San Diego and teach those coming across our border. Those teachers, they are so sacrificial. Oh, I thought we had been paying them this whole year!

Oh, never mind, it is just too wonderful.

It is also gratifying to see how our gas prices have increased over the past few months. It is so thrilling to pay more for gas since we stopped the construction of the pipeline and now we can get our oil from the countries in the Middle East that don’t like us. Whoever wanted to be energy-independent, anyway?

And now we should be excited about the vaccine passport. We have been able to hold on to all of our health information, something called HIPAA, but now we can just hand over all our private medical data to – well, who knows who. And a whisper the other day was that China had offered to the World Health Organi-

On the Left writer wants to silence political right I often read the On the Left column, not because I enjoy it or agree with it, but to see how some “on the left” think.

I understand that Jack Batson doesn’t like Donald Trump. I get it: Apparently at least half of the country doesn’t like him. Joe Biden ran and won, mostly on that platform.

I, like many other Republicans, am not a Trump fan, but believe that most of his policies were good for America.

I voted Republican (Trump) both times, not because I am a “Trump supporter,” but because despite his many flaws, I felt he was less bad than Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden (especially when Biden is controlled by the far left).

Biden made such a big deal of how he would be the “president for all Americans – not just for those who voted for him.” During his campaign,

he tried to convince voters that he would be a moderate. Then almost immediately he adopted policies that are not moderate at all, but follow the far left – as predicted by many Republicans.

My main objection to Mr. Batson’s column was the suggestion at the end of a recent offering – that “Thoughtful Republicans protest by re-registering as an independent.” Of course, that would greatly weaken the Republican Party and be a lock for the Democrats to continue their liberal, partisan agenda – and alienate 75 million conservatives. But Mr. Batson knows that. It’s all part of the movement to silence those you don’t agree with.

So much for fake unity.

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

e Americans are blessed with abundant – even overabundant – consumer goods and services and often take that fact for granted.

We assume that when we pull into a service station, its pumps will dispense fuel, that when we go to a grocery store, we will find full shelves, or that when we flip the switch on the wall, the room will light up.

We tend to forget that the goods and services we want or need involve complex supply chains that begin with basic resources, proceed to industrial processes and culminate in Dan Walters delivery on demand.

Even products and services deemed to be “green” are not exempt. Solar power panels and battery-powered cars, for instance, require sophisticated industrial processes and rare minerals such as lithium, which must be mined or extracted from brine.

That’s why we should be skeptical of politicians who pretend that we can interrupt those supply chains, in the name of environmental protection, without negative consequences.

That was the underlining issue last week when the state Senate’s Committee on Natural Resources and Water took up Senate Bill 467, which was aimed at shutting down much of California’s oil industry by banning fracking and other extraction processes.

The bill’s author, Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat, argued, “California cannot continue to have the image of an environmental beacon while we are actively poisoning our citizens and destroying our state.”

Wiener introduced the bill after Gov. Gavin Newsom called for ending the sale of petroleum-fueled cars by 2035 and asked the Legislature to ban fracking. However, now facing a recall election, Newsom didn’t lift a finger to help Wiener move his bill, apparently because labor unions were adamantly opposed, citing the elimination of high-paying union jobs.

Without Newsom’s support, moderate Democrats on the committee refused to vote for the bill and it failed. “This one really does go to shut down the oil industry in California,” Sen. Susan Eggman, a Stockton Democrat, said. “We are not getting away from oil or gas in California in the next 10 years.”

She spoke the simple truth that the vast majority of California’s 30-plus million vehicles run on petroleum-based fuels and despite Newsom’s declaration about 2035, that fact will continue indefinitely.

California supplies about half of the petroleum it consumes, importing the remainder from oil-producing nations across the globe.

Shutting down production here would make us more dependent on other suppliers, with a massive loss of jobs and exports of consumer dollars.

The same dynamics hold true in the other commodities that a modern society needs to prosper.

We need, for example, to double housing production, but construction requires immense amounts of lumber, concrete and steel, plus electrical fixtures and plumbing made of copper. These materials begin as raw resources, such as trees, limestone and copper and iron ores, which are then processed and transported to building sites via railroads and/ or diesel-powered trucks.

Occasionally, we are reminded that electricity doesn’t come from the walls, gasoline doesn’t come from pumps, lumber doesn’t come from Home Depot and toilet paper doesn’t come from the supermarket.

We got such a reminder last summer, when a severe heatwave overcame the state’s electrical supplies, with air conditioning demand peaking in the late afternoon, just as solar power arrays were beginning to fade.

In response, the state suspended plans to phase out natural gas-fueled power plants, implicitly deciding that going green isn’t worth experiencing blackouts. We expect the juice to be there when we need it, and politicians such as Newsom will feel the heat – pun intended – if it’s not.

interested to know that Congresswoman Tlaib is much in demand as a public speaker. Apparently her description last year of President Donald Trump as a “mother------” only added to her popularity.

As I write this I hear that Thursday was “Jackie Robinson Day.” I believe I was in the eighth grade at Mamaroneck Junior High School when we had an assembly at which Robinson was the guest speaker. It was definitely the most memorable event of my junior high school years.

Robinson had the most mellifluous voice I ever remember hearing, and from that day on I abandoned my allegiance to the New York Yankees and became a Brooklyn Dodgers fan.

Robinson, of course, was the first player to break the color barrier, and his spectacular play proved to Major League Baseball owners and managers that they were missing out by ignoring Black players ever since the founding of professional baseball.

For a few years, I had a collection of autographed baseballs – I remember Stan Musial – but, instead of saving them I batted them around in my neighborhood. I wonder what they would be worth today?

From Page One statement. “AB 125 will make major investments in both rural and urban areas of the state to increase worker safety, decrease hunger and promote sustainable agriculture practices that will help us remain resilient in a changing climate.”

Rivas chairs the Ag Committee, which also includes Assemblywoman Cecilia M. AguiarCurry, D-Winters, who is listed as a co-author of the legislation.

Bond resources, proponents said, also would invest in “wildfire and climate resilience” efforts.

The bond would provide $40 million “for farmers and ranchers to support prescribed grazing infrastructure to support wildfire prevention, improve livestock management, and enhance biodiversity, including fencing and water stations for livestock.”

An addit iona l $50 million would go toward projects and programs preventing wildfires and promoting fire resilience, funding that includes $20 million to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to prevent wildfires and increase fire resilience through the use of prescribed and cultural (tribal) burns.

The funds could be used for equipment purchases, constructing facilities for equipment storage and funding related to infrastructure costs.

Another $30 million would go to the Department of Housing and Community Development for the development of workforce housing to support year-round housing for land management workers.

“This bill will provide the resources that farmers and ranchers need to cut climate pollution and maintain a viable and sustainable agriculture in California,” Jeanne Merrill, policy director with CalCAN, said in the statement. “It’s time to invest in our food and farming infrastructure of the future.”

Cuts From Page One the new year,” the staff report states.

The council in February reviewed the recommendations of an ad hoc committee and left council salaries intact, setting the city clerk’s salary as half that of council members and reducing the city treasurer’s compensation to 25% of council member salary.

If approved, the changes will not take place until the end of the current terms of office for the city clerk and the city treasurer in 2024.

The city clerk salary would go from $416 per month to $327.43 per month. The city treasurer would see the $200 a month salary cut to $163.72 per month.

The reductions would save about $1,500 per year, according to the staff report.

City Council members directed that their salary be reviewed on an annual basis during the budget process to consider increasing their salary by the consumer price index,

Countess Mountbatten of Burma, a close friend of Prince Philip, and some of the spouses of the queen’s children and grandchildren were in attendance.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry’s wife, watched the service from the couple’s Los Angeles home as she was not allowed to fly due to her pregnancy.

Prince Philip was entitled to a state funeral due to being the monarch’s consort, however, he rejected it for militarystyle service to reflect his time served in the British Navy during World War II. The prince also had his own hand in the service, requesting certain prayers to be read.

There is also $100 million earmarked for the Department of Food and Agriculture “to restore, upgrade, modernize and improve state and county fairgrounds to serve as community centers, exposition sites, emergency and evacuation shelters, food and agriculture education centers, and farm incubator and food business centers.”

Another $75 million is earmarked for groundwater protection, $50 million of which would go to the Department of Conservation for grants to groundwater sustainability agencies, counties and others “for development or implementation of local programs supporting or facilitating reduced use of groundwater and multibenefit land repurposing at the basin scale.”

Other general funding categories include: n $780 million for improving Agricultural Resilience and Advancing Sustainable Agriculture, $482 million to the Department of Food and Agriculture to improve the climate resilience and sustainability of agricultural lands. As part of that section, “the Department of Food and Agriculture shall prioritize improving soil water holding capacity, reducing nutrient run-off, and projects located in priority groundwater basins, as designated in the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act.” n $273 million to the Department of Conservation to protect agricultural land and support improved climate resilience, including $150 million for grants “for the protection and enhancement of agricultural lands, including the acquisition of fee title or agricultural conservation easements on agricultural lands, to improve climate resilience, pollinator habitat, California native biodiversity, flood protection, or groundwater recharge,” and $125 million “to improve land access and tenure for socially disadvantaged farmers or ranchers, beginning farmers and ranchers, and farmers and ranchers located in disadvantaged communities.” n $25 million to the

Department of Food and Agriculture “to support workforce development and the hiring and training of the next generation of agricultural professionals,“ including $10 million “for grants to the University of California Cooperative Extension to hire farm advisers, community educators or extension specialists . . . .” This provision provides additional funding to universities and community colleges to agriculture technical assistance and training programs. n $637 million toward protecting the health and well-being of farmworkers, including $450 million “to award grants through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program . . . for projects that include the development of multiunit affordable housing for farmworker families and households.”

The provision provides for $50 million to the Department of Community Services and Development “for grants to improve the energy efficiency, indoor air quality, renewable energy use and climate resilience of farmworker housing;” $25 million to the Division of Occupational Safety and Health for the creation of a stockpile of personal protection equipment; and $100 million to the state Water Resources Control Board for grants “to provide safe drinking water and promote public health for farmworker families who lack access to safe and reliable drinking water sources.” Additionally, $12 million would go to the Office of Emergency Services to expand its State Warning Center to include targeted alerts for public health dangers and create a state notification system, including the development of a backbone telemetry system, that sends text and voice messages, in multiple languages, to residents and farmworkers based on their ZIP codes. n $750 million for expanding healthy food access and combating hunger, $230 million of which would go to the Department of General Services “to provide aid to local educational agencies, school food authorities,

California American Indian education centers . . . the federal Office of Indian Education, schools operated by the federal Bureau of Indian Education and tribal schools for improving kitchen, meal preparation, meal service and dining infrastructure used for school nutrition programs.” The provision includes $150 million to the state Department of Social Services “to provide aid to participants in the Emergency Food Assistance Program administered by the Food and Nutrition Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, Feeding America food banks located in California, California Association of Food Banks members, nonprofit hunger relief organizations, senior nutrition programs and operators of the federal Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations.” Another $270 million would go to the Department of Food and Agriculture “for grants to ensure communities and tribes are able to obtain or produce foods that are healthy, are nutrient-dense, are culturally relevant, reflect traditional Native American foodways and are grown or produced in California, prioritizing Californiaproduced organic food products, for residents who are food insecure or members of a disadvantaged community.”

Additionally, $100 million would go to the California Department of Aging “to fund infrastructure that will expand senior nutrition programs under the Mello-Granlund Older Californians Act.” n $700 million to strengthen regional food economies, including $500 million to the Department of Food and Agriculture “for grants to enhance local and regional food and fiber infrastructure in response to changing climate conditions, to strengthen urban-rural connectivity and to support the development of a resilient and equitable food economy.” n $10 million to support 21st-century ecological pest management. n $200 million to reduce food waste and increasing compost production.

not to exceed 5% a year. If the council increases its salary, the city clerk and city treasurer would also see a bump in pay.

There will be no changes in vehicle allowance for the council. It’s suggested the city clerk and city treasurer not receive the allowance but would be eligible for mileage reimbursement as allowed by city travel policy.

This action could take effect at any time designated by the council and would save approximately $1,200 per year, according to the staff report.

Council members will see their medical insurance benefit drop from 100% to 75% of the applicable rate, setting the “in-lieu” rate to 45% of the city-paid portion of the family rate, according to the staff report.

As an example, 75% of the current Kaiser Permanente family rate of $18,936 per year is $14,202. The city would pay the latter. The in-lieu would also be reduced to $6,390.90 per year from the current $8,400 per year.

The council also directed the city to no longer pay $330 a month

in deferred compensation, resulting an estimated annual savings of almost $20,000 per year.

Total compensation for City Council members also includes other pay and benefits costs from the city plus pay and benefits associated with their service on the FairfieldSuisun Sewer District governing board.

Mayor Lori Wilson received $21,418.24 in total City Council compensation in 2019: $7,858.24 in regular pay, $5,100 in other pay and $8,460 in benefits, according to information reported to the state and available through Transparent California. She received an additional $9,770 in total compensation for her service on the sewer district board: $3,153 in other pay and $6,617 in benefits.

Totals for 2020 have not been reported.

Councilwoman Jane Day received $36,047.24 in total council compensation in 2019: $7,858.24 in regular pay, $4,827 in other pay and $23,362 in benefits.

She received another $4,673 in compensation from the sewer district: $1,048 in other pay and $3,625 in benefits.

Mayor Pro-tem Wanda Williams received $29,676.24 in total council compensation: $7,858.24 in regular pay, $4,680 in other pay and $17,138 in benefits.

She received another $1,342 in other pay from the sewer district.

Councilman Mike Hudson was re-elected to the City Council in November, as was Councilwoman Alma Hernandez.

Hudson’s final year on the council during his previous tenure was 2018 when he received total council compensation of $33,019.10: $7,663.95 in regular pay, $2,796.94 in other pay, $21,604.89 in benefits and $953.32 in pension debt.

He received an additional $6,699 in compensation that year for his role on the sewer district board: $2,799 on other pay and $3,900 in benefits.

The council meets at 6:30 p.m. at 701 Civic Center Blvd. Reservations are encouraged as space is limited. Masks must be worn.

Vanden’s Linairus Agee runs the ball for a 57-yard touchdown during the football game at Rodriguez High, Friday.

Vikings sail past Mustangs in spring grid finale, 47-6 Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The calendar says it’s been spring for nearly a month but there was a decidedly fall football feeling at windswept Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium Friday night.

Lainairus Agee ran for a 57-yard touchdown on Vanden High’s first play of the game, Tre Dimes threw for three TDs, two to Johnte McDowell, and Robert Breed returned an interception 33 yards for a score to power the Vikings to a 47-6 Monticello Empire League win over Rodriguez in the finale of the pandemicdelayed spring season.

It was nice ending to a difficult season that went way behind dealing with not being able to play because of Covid-19.

Two coaches and a member of the Vikings booster club died during the offseason and the team was rocked by the shooting on April 4 that left key player Daniel Hughes in “very critical condition.”

“We’ve had so much adversity that we’ve come through this school year,” Vanden coach Sean Murphy said. “The grit and determination that they’ve shown . . . I’m just really proud of them. They

made the commitment to play for Daniel these last two games. So to finish out the last two games the way we did, the resiliency that we showed really means a lot to me.”

The first possession for Vanden (3-2, 3-1 MEL) began after an interception by Jayden Robinson, the first of three by the Vikings defense. Agee then swept left and raced 57 yards into the north end zone with Diego NunezSmith booting the first of his five extra points.

Sacks of Rodriguez quarterback Miles Meadows by Kaden Mcleod and Michael Belk, the latter forcing a fumble that was recovered and returned by Devin Martin to the Mustangs’ 26-yard line, gave the ball back to Vanden.

Three plays later, Dimes found McDowell open on the right side for a 24-yard touchdown with 7:40 left in the first quarter.

The Vikings got the ball right back thanks to McDowell recovering an on-side kick at the Rodriguez 48.

It took Vanden a little longer to score this time as the green and gold needed eight plays with Mcleod, a starting middle linebacker, lighting up the Vikings’ sideline by

rumbling 5 yards for the touchdown. That made it 21-0 with 3:56 to go in the opening period.

Rodr ig uez (2-3, 1-3 MEL) then put together one of its better drives of the night, going from its 25 to the Vanden 44 – mostly on bulldozing runs by Keith Gallon – before a mishandled snap resulted in a 22-yard loss and fumble recovery by Vanden’s Jamai East at the Mustangs’ 34.

Seven plays later, Dimes hit Amarion York at the goal line for a 10-yard touchdown to up the lead to 27-0 with 8:20 to go in the half.

Yet another on-side kick, which infuriated the Rodriguez sideline, was recovered by the Vikings at the Mustangs’ 46.

Rodriguez coach Stevie Johnson was not available for comment after the game.

After a procedure penalty, it took Vanden three plays to go 49 yards, 38 on a fly sweep by Belk, who was injured on the play. Agee capped the Vikings’ first-half scoring by sweeping left from 13 yards out.

The Mustangs responded with its lone scoring drive, which was kept alive by a pair of penalties – pass interfer-

ence on a third down and a face mask on a fourth down. On the next play after the latter, Meadows froze the Vanden defense with a play fake and hit an open Anthony Homa for a 36-yard touchdown.

A 2-point conversion pass attempt was high and outside, keeping the score 34-6.

Rodriguez got some on-side revenge by recovering the ensuing kickoff and got to the Vanden 28 before a sack by East and two incompletions gave the ball back to the Vikings. The final play of the half was a sack of Dimes by Paul Elliott, who turned in a solid game on defense for the Mustangs.

Vanden recovered Rodriguez’s on-side kick to open the second and four rushes by Agee gained 48 yards to the Mustangs’ 5 before Dimes hit McDowell over the middle for his second TD catch of the game, upping the lead to 41-6.

The defenses then took over as Agee gained just 4 yards on his final four carries of the game, finishing with 175 on 17 attempts.

Dimes completed just two of his final six attempts for 21 yards, finishing 6-of-14 for 70 yards.

FAIRFIELD — Suzanne Bruce has for several years penned poems in honor of Women’s History Month.

She’s also emceed the Authors Luncheon benefitting the Solano County Library Foundation.

Bruce will be joined by four other area poets Saturday for “How Poetry Heals,” a virtual event.

the job.

“When Poetry Heals” is geared to reflect its title with an emphasis on the stress of the past year from Covid-19, a presidential election, loss and more.

“We are all craving comfort,” Bruce said.

Poetry is an opportunity to express pent-up anxieties to be articulated and welcomed. Such events take the words off the page and into daily life for those who seek healing.

The poems from Johanna Ely, former Benicia poet laureate, Gena Brice, former Vallejo poet laureate, Mary Susan Gast, current Benicia poet laureate and Jeremy Snyder, current Vallejo poet laureate, will address the theme.

owntown resident and artist Jane Loveall grieved each time she saw the broken poppy artwork at Texas and Madison streets.

Installed in 2008, artist Cherise Petker told the Daily Republic she estimated she had spent more than 6,000 hours combining concrete, rebar, wire mesh and close to 70,000 pieces of Italian glass into the mosaic sculpture.

One of the poppies disappeared a few years ago. No one knows what happened to it, Loveall said.

“Or, at least no one is telling,” she said.

Loveall decided in August she couldn’t see it in that state and

The new poppy, which will be dedicated May 1, has come to life in Loveall’s second-story studio.

The original installation was a collaboration between the city’s Public Works and Community Devel-

opment departments. It began with a grant for downtown improvement with funds marked for an art project.

Loveall, a longtime art teacher in the Fairfield-Suisun School District, was paying for the new poppy out of her own pocket. When she added up the bills, more than $1,000 was invested.

Rhoda Chandler started a fundraiser to help offset the cost.

“It was the residents of Fairfield who contributed the money,” Chandler said. “We support and believe the arts are valuable in this city.”

The Downtown Coalition, an informal group of downtown residents, is hosting the May 1 event.

The group’s goal is to revitalize and preserve downtown, Chandler said.

NEW YORK — The Tribeca Film Festival will open its 2021 edition with the big-screen adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “In the Heights,” festival organizers announced Friday.

The highly anticipated movie musical will officially premiere on June 9 at the United Palace in Upper Manhattan’s Washington Heights, the same neighborhood where the movie is set. But for the first time ever, the festival’s opening night will also be screened simultaneously in open-air venues across all five boroughs.

The 12-day-event, which was canceled last year because of the pandemic, will mark its 20th anniversary and is the first major North American film festival to be held in person since last year’s lockdown, according to a news release.

“This will be an unforgettable night at the United Palace,” Miranda said in a state-

ment. “We can’t wait to share this musical love letter to our community, with our community, in our community.”

The Warner Bros. adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical will hit U.S. theaters and HBO Max on June 11, two days after the festival kickoff.

Created and produced by Miranda, “In the Heights” takes place in the predominantly Latinx community and centers around a young bodega owner, played by “Hamilton” star Anthony Ramos, seeking a better life for himself. Miranda, who starred in the stage production, plays a supporting role in the film, along with Leslie Grace, Melissa Barrera and Corey Hawkins.

“In the Heights is the quintessential New York story of hard-work, resilience, and triumph,” said Jane Rosenthal, cofounder and CEO of the festival. “We are proud to feature this film as Opening Night where it

can debut in its hometown in celebration of its New York roots and the Latinx community.”

The musical was a major hit on Broadway in 2008 and won four Tony awards, including best musical.

The movie version was shot in Washington Heights in the summer of 2018 and was originally slated to premiere last June, but it was pushed back because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was directed

by Jon M. Chu, of “Crazy Rich Asians.”

“New York, and specifically Washington Heights, is the lead character in our film – its vibrancy and energy are unmatched,” Chu said in a statement. “How incredible that after a year of isolation, New Yorkers from across all boroughs will have an opportunity to see it first, together, and join us in the celebration of life coming back.”

The festival runs June 9-20.

experiencing, both emotionally and physically,” Bruce said. “That connection is when the healing process begins. That is the bridge that links you to others. We all know it takes a village to survive.”

Bruce is the main caretaker of her mother, 95, who lives in Oklahoma.

The two have not been able to meet in person since the start of the novel coronavirus outbreak.

The 95th birthday party took place on Zoom.

“I feel so fortunate that I did not have to stand in line for food and a place to live,” Bruce said. “So many people don’t have that.”

April is National Poetry Month.

Bruce began writing poetry after her husband, who teaches at Armijo High School, retired

Poppy From Page B1 “We are not going to sit by and let downtown deteriorate to the point of no return,” she said.

Loveall strives to ensure the new poppy is durable. It’s a two-person job to move the artwork.

The base is concrete.

Layers of mesh and metal mesh are the materials used in the flower.

“I want to make sure it can’t be ripped off,” she said.

Nearing completion, Loveall chooses not to guess how many hours she spent working on it, along with other projects and commissions.

The smalti – small pieces of mosaic glass – are almost to the edge of the poppy. Hidden among them is Jane Loveall

from the military. It was a chance to share her voice with others.

She draws much of her inspiration from areas such as Wright’s Beach. On a recent trip there, from the window of their rented house, Bruce saw a whale about 50 feet off the coast.

“It was a sign for hope and encouragement,” she said.

Bruce said some people tell her they don’t always understand the meaning of a poem.

“It’s what it says to you,” is her reply.

Interest in poetry increased after Amanda Gorman read her poem on Inauguration Day. The 23-year-old read, “The Hill We Climb.”

To start writing poetry, Bruce suggests one just put their feelings down as a start. She starts with a pen and paper.

As more pieces come together, Bruce will input it into the computer.

spelled out in the richly colored glass.

“Like Sherman marching toward the sea,” Loveall said of the tiles extending almost to the edge.

The interior of the stem is an air conditioning duct.

“You look at hardware in a whole new way,” she said.

Chez Soul will welcome guests for lunch at the event. There will be a bean bag toss to win poppy seeds.

Loveall will also have some of her outdoor art for sale. Morningsun Herb Farm will also be on hand along with Sweet the Creamery.

KinderCare offers free week to pandemicweary families Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A local KinderCare Learning Centers site is offering families a free week of child care at its site in the city.

The offer is a show of support to parents who are weary from the novel coronavirus pandemic and now find themselves returning to the workforce.

All KinderCare centers are operating with what the company describes in a press release as enhanced health and safety protocols that were created in partnership with expert medical advisers to ensure they are the safest learning environments possible.

These practices are working, the company reports: KinderCare’s center transmission rates are just a fraction of the national average.

Many of the company’s centers continue to offer dedicated guidance for school-age children who need additional support navigating online learning.

The offer of free child care is for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. The offer is valid starting Monday and continuing through May 14 at KinderCare’s site at 1611 Woodcreek Drive.

For more information or to sign up for a free week of care, families are asked to call the center’s director, Wendy Certeza, at 426-2275 or visit the company website at https://www.kindercare.com/ lp/free-week.

inflation trap.

Higher inflation could also disrupt monetary policy in America, where rising inflation expectations and a faster rebound mean price rises are more likely to prove persistent.

The current expectation is a 1-in-5 chance that consumer prices will grow by at least 3% per year on average over the next five years. The Federal Reserve intends to keep interest rates low and to continue buying bonds because it wants inflation over its 2% target to make up for today’s lower inflation. But its new “average inflation targeting” concept does not allow for an enduring or large overshoot. Eventually the central bank will want to raise interest rates to bring inflation back down.

The faster prices rise this year, the sooner that tightening could come. Fed officials have said that the central bank will make up only for inflation shortfalls that have occurred over the preceding year, meaning the point at which catch-up is complete could come surprisingly quickly.

The Treasury secretary asserted in February that the U.S. has the tools to deal with inflation, but higher rates are not without consequence. If the Fed finds itself dampening an overheating economy, the risks of another recession could rise.

Higher rates also hold deep implications for markets.

Almost everything about today’s financial landscape assumes rates staying low for

a long time. Cheap money lies behind the idea that the government can spend however much it likes and underpins today’s stock market values and abundant credit. An abrupt change in the interest-rate outlook would be painful, as it was in 2013 when the Fed’s hawkish comments led to what became known as the “taper tantrum.”

Higher rates would be a shock on Wall Street. They would be painful in global emerging markets.

Many governments have been experimenting with unconventional monetary policy and bigger budget deficits, following the rich world.

Their efforts assume global financial conditions will sustain easy credit. Higher interest rates in the U.S. to counter inflation would mean a stronger dollar and capital outflows from emerging economies. Such changes would imperil their finances and make it harder for them to recover from the pandemic.

The idea of escaping the low-inflation, low-rate paradigm of the past decade is very appealing, but higher inflation will expose the world economy and financial markets to a bumpy ride.

My husband refuses to be vaccinated, and our daughter doesn’t want anyone around her newborn who is not vaccinated. My husband has been a good father, but this is very upsetting to me.

He belongs to a very conservative organization that is extremely anti-government.

They believe these vaccines will eventually kill us and are part of a worldwide scam to steal our rights. He dismisses any information I provide as

Your husband will have to live with the consequences of not holding and bonding with his grandchild.

Rather than trying to persuade him with information, focus on the fun and fulfillment you will feel and have with your new grandchild. And if the child looks like him or acts like him, be sure to tell him. In time, he just might come around.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The people close to you should have your best interests at heart. As for those competitive “friends” who secretly wish you weren’t as great as you are – they may still have a place in your life, but it’s not in the inner circle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). One cannot grow and still hang on to the same old negativity. Because you love your own development, you drop anything that smacks of pride or petty grievances, and with lightness of heart, you move forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve learned the subtle signals your loved ones give when something is bothering them.

You’ll gently tease out the story in just the manner that cracks open the trouble, airing it to the daylight.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a sister, or a sisterlike person, in your midst who needs what you can give. If you give it, you might never be repaid, at least not directly, and yet you will also be richer for having offered this kindness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know how to impress the others, but it’s a hollow win. It’s far better to impress yourself, and if you happen to pick up any accolades along the way, you’ll consider it a bonus.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When they come to you with questions you can answer, it feels good to be able to help.

When they come to you with questions you can’t answer, it gives you ideas about what to learn next.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re just following your curiosity and doing your job, but you end up growing your expertise in the process, and your influence naturally expands. With increasing power comes increasing responsibility.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s happened before that you got what you wanted and then were somehow vaguely unsatisfied. This time, you’ll question your wants and get to the bottom of why you want it, which helps your chances of a fortifying outcome.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Intentionally focus on what there is to be happy about. To appreciate and enjoy where you’re at is more than just a good practice; it’s a tool that keeps you connected to the best parts of your humanity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Most judgments are made so quickly you hardly know you are making them. It takes selfawareness (and gives good fortune) to pause before solidifying your stance and ask more questions before rendering a decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everyone is looking for that person who makes them feel more alive. But today, that heart quickening comes not through a person but through a situation that calls out the best that’s inside you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is said that one cannot mourn a thing that was never possessed. This adage only holds for those with lesser imaginations than you.

You can so fully embody a dream that to celebrate or mourn it also follows naturally.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Whether she’s writing a love note, wearing pajamas to dinner or running a multimillion-dollar enterprise, Kourtney Kardashian does it with her typical Aries fire. Mercury and Mars in the same warrior sign act as fuel injectors – read: intensity and fearlessness.

A moon in Capricorn indicates tremendous business savvy as well as some downto-earth grounding to all that passionate Aries energy.

The Stress Effect

Many of us have been feeling even more stressed out since the pandemic and all of the changes that brought to our daily lives.

What it does to our health, how we can manage it better

T

Dr. Lisa Kuhlman Kaiser Permanente

he body reacts when you’re under stress. Your heart and blood pressure increase, you may shake or have difficulty breathing.

Some even say it feels like there’s an elephant sitting on their chest.

Stress can build up and cause health issues for a number of reasons.

Worry may disrupt sleep. You may overeat or not eat at all. It may become difficult to focus or concentrate on work or family needs.

Many of us have been feeling even more stressed out since the Covid-19 pandemic and all of the changes that brought to our daily lives. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that last year 40% of adults were struggling with mental health and substance abuse.

With April being Stress Awareness Month, now is a good time to look at the causes of stress and how to manage it better.

Sources of stress n The increase in stimulation coming from our phones, computers, social media sources and news

can add to our anxiety. Our phones keep us connected and perform many of our daily tasks. It can be hard to disconnect, especially because technology plays such a significant role in our jobs and lives. n The Covid-19 pandemic has created a lot more stress for people.

Many are worried about getting the virus and not recovering from it. Others struggle with leaving the house worried about coming into contact with someone who has the virus. We’ve been alienated from our friends and families for long periods of time and don’t have the social connections we once had. n Lack of control can also lead to more stress. Many feel they can’t control what is happening around them and struggle with how to deal with the unknown.

But there are some ways you can manage your stress. Here are some ideas I often share with my patients: n Carve out periods in the day where you can focus on you. Take a walk, meditate or have a conversation with a loved one or friend. Even watching a funny sitcom or sitting quietly alone may help. n Eat healthily. Although foods high in carbohydrates and sugar may make you feel better initially, they can

lead to a drop in blood sugar, which can make you feel tired or lethargic. Eating unhealthy foods can also make you gain weight or lead to other chronic conditions. n Exercise regularly. When you get your heart pumping, you will have more energy to meet the demands of your day. n Unplug when you can. Set limits on the time you spend on your devices. Don’t plug them into your bedroom at night to avoid distractions when you sleep.

A certain level of stress is normal and manageable for most people. But ongoing stress and anxiety can lead to more serious issues, including clinical depression and even heart disease.

If you find yourself unable to cope with your normal day-to-day responsibilities, have difficulty sleeping for more than two weeks, or if you are missing work or other activities, contact your physician so they can help you address your stress in a way that restores balance for your mind and body.

Church essential in troubled times

E

aster has passed and for many, it was an opportunity to return to inperson worship.

The need to be in the fellowship of believers, in fact, has never been more critical. We are told that one in four young adults are suicidal.

Furthermore, the Gallop poll found in its yearly mental health survey that the mental health of Americans is at its lowest point since the poll was started. Interestingly, the poll discovered that the most effective Greg Davidson way to change AmeriReligious view can’s mental health for the better was in-person church attendance.

Here we have a powerful demonstration that the church is essential in these troubled times in which we live. It is no paradox that the same savior who filled hearts with hope by rising from the dead is providing hope for those who need a supernatural savior to raise their dead situation to life.

My prayer is that 2021 will be a year of hope because a risen savior intervenes on behalf of our desperate situation.

In brief Nerf contest rewards military children TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Travis Air Force Base kids can set their sights on fun with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s online Nerf target decorating contest for the Month of the Military Child.

One grand-prize winner will receive a $50 Exchange gift card, while three runnersup will each receive a Nerf Microshot Fortnite prize.

“The BX encourages military kids to show off their creativity with this fun Nerf contest,” said Phonda Bishop, Travis Base Exchange general manager. “Our youngest heroes have unique talents and perspectives, which the Exchange celebrates with these special Month of the Military Child events.”

Military families can visit ShopMyExchange. com/momc for contest details and Month of the Military Child activities, including sweepstakes, coloring pages and more.

Month of the Military Child contests are open to kids 17 years and younger, but a parent or authorized shopper 18 years or older must submit the completed target at ShopMyExchange. com/sweepstakes.

330 Navy civilians transfer to Air Force A NDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam — Approximately 330 fulltime civilian employees assigned to support Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, administratively transfered from the Navy to the Air Force, April 11.

On Nov. 9, 2020, former Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Stephen W. Wilson, Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. William K. Lescher and Assistant Commandant of the United States Marine Corps Gen. Gary L. Thomas, signed a new Joint Base Memorandum of Agreement to change the joint region construct returning selected 18 of 44 installation support functions to the Air Force at Andersen.

“This change will improve Andersen’s ability to build multi-capable Airmen now and into the future as we work to further operationalize the base,” said Brig. Gen. Jeremy T. Sloane, 36th Wing commander. “The agreement also gives us improved fiscal control and operational flexibility so we can better support operations in the Indo-Pacific in line with the National Defense Strategy.”

New innovation facility honors retiree from Travis Nicholas Pilch

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — The Travis Air Force Base Phoenix Spark innovation cell revealed the name for its new location April 9.

The space is being named in honor of retired Lt. Gen. John Gonge.

“The area has been reimagined as the focal point for innovation at Travis and the original operations center layout and map have been preserved to honor this special place in time,” said John Dickerson, 60th Air Mobility Wing Phoenix Spark innovation officer.

Building 241 once served as the 22nd Air Force Staff and the Travis Operations Center, where Gonge held positions.

“The Travis Operations Center was a place where senior leaders tackled operational and tactical level problems in real time, executing the Military Air Transport Command mission,” Dickerson said.

Gonge, a World War II veteran and Nebraska native, joined the U.S. Army Air Corps and commissioned in 1943 after flight school. Throughout his career, he spent time in a number of different commands, as well as serving as the commander of the 22nd Air Force at Travis Air Force Base from 1972 to 1975, when he participated in the planning and coordination to get prisoners of war home who were released from North Vietnam in 1973.

“As this building takes on

The innovation lab was started in 2016 when former Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Mark Welsh III charged units to empower airmen to innovate. Phoenix Spark leadership invested in the lab and, over the past five years,

led it to where it is today.

“Part of this vision for Phoenix Spark would require a completely new facility, designed intentionally to facilitate both collaborative problem-solving with the community and intentional resourcing for airmen to research solutions,” Dickerson said.

The Gonge Innovation Center is planning to open toward the end of summer 2021. With that, the Phoenix Spark Lab has openings

for all airmen who are looking to accelerate change and innovate new ideas to make processes on Travis Air Force Base and in the Air Force more efficient.

For more information, call the Phoenix Spark Lab at 424-8920 or visit www.travis.af.mil.

Travis key in satellite mission

Jolly Green II completes testing

Senior Airman Cameron Otte

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — The Air Force’s new combat search and rescue helicopter, the HH-60W Jolly Green II, completed its developmental test program at Eglin Air Force Base, April 13.

The final test by the Sikorsky and Air Force team was on the aircraft’s weapon systems. The goal of the test was to both demonstrate the performance of the weapons while optimizing weapon-system configurations.

“The timely completion of this test program represents an amazing accomplishment by the HH-60W Integrated Test Team,” said Joe Whiteaker, the 413th Flight Test Squadron HH-60W flight chief.

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Mobility airmen from Travis Air Force Base played an integral role in the arrival of the Space Base Inferred System Geo-5 Satellite March 25 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

According to 1st Lt. Kahleb Kelsey, 22nd Airlift Squadron C-5M Super Galaxy co-pilot, the satellite is the fifth in the Space Base Inferred System Geo series to be launched with the capability to detect missile launches from all around the globe.

“This satellite can detect a wide range of missile launches from small missiles up to nuclear bombs, ensuring

such as vehicles and satellites. Most aircraft can only hold palletized cargo.

“When we finally got to Cape Canaveral’s runway, we had to ensure as smooth a landing as possible to minimize shaking,” Kelsey said. “After the satellite was unloaded and removed from its safety container, we reload the empty container and drop it off at Moffett before returning to Travis.”

This was a joint mission between the Air Force, Space Force and civilian contractors.

“I’m really proud that I got to be part of getting this satellite to its launching location,” Roth said.

“This was honestly one of my favorite types of missions because of all the teams involved and the impact it’s going to make; it really felt like I made a difference.”

we are prepared ahead of time to counter any attack,” Kelsey said.

Travis airmen transported the satellite across the country from California to Florida.

“We started this mission at Travis Air Force Base and loaded some support equipment for the mission before heading down to Moffett Air Field where we prepositioned for the satellite upload,” Kelsey said.

Once arriving at Moffett Air Field, Travis loadmasters loaded the satellite with precision and efficiency.

“We had to line up the satellite with the aircraft and began winching it so we can begin the process of carefully loading the satellite onto the aircraft,” said Senior Airman Mathew Roth, 22nd Airlift

Squadron C-5 instructor loadmaster. “This was going to be the slowest part of the mission because satellites can be very sensitive to the slightest movement, so we had to move it incredibly slowly.”

Travis Air Force Base is the only base that has C-5 aircraft capable of moving satellites around the country.

“After the loading was finished we had to begin preparing far more precautions than we would for most other missions,” Kelsey said. “We had to account for turbulence and weather because they could damage the satellite.

We needed to avoid violent weather as much as possible so, we had another C-5 ahead of us scouting out harsh conditions.”

The C-5 is a special aircraft because it is capable of carrying outsized cargo

B8 Sunday, April 18, 2021 — DAILY REPUBLIC

These families opened their hearts, homes to foster dogs during Covid-19 pandemic Tribune Content Agency BALTIMORE — In the dead of winter, and the throes of the pandemic, the Berman family chose to foster a passel of puppies and their mother, all desperate for shelter.

Five dogs in all clambered into their Ellicott City home – a squirming, squealing brood from the Canine Humane Network, a nonprofit rescue organization in Highland.

The 4-week-old pups needed refuge until they could be adopted; their mom, a terrier mix, had Lyme disease and too little mother’s milk. So, for a month, Teresa and Michael Berman and their two sons nursed the lot until permanent homes could be found.

Challenges aside, they had the time of their lives.

“After dinner, we’d sit around and watch the puppies play,” says Teresa Berman, 48, a corporate attorney. “It was better than watching TV. I joked that this was my plan [to combat] seasonal depression; the pups really did improve everyone’s mood.”

The puppies tripled in weight during their stay – “We weighed them on a food scale to make sure they were gaining,” she said – and left in their wake more than 1,000 photos and videos of their antics. All of which took the Bermans’ minds off Covid-19.

“I loved their sibling rivalry. They would jump on each other, pull tails and play tug-of-war,” says Michael Berman, who owns an independent insurance agency.

Like a proud dad, he says, “I sent pictures of the puppies to my colleagues, and now get text messages from their owners on how they’re doing.”

To date, the Bermans have cared for 12 dogs from the Highland organization in the past year.

The virus has expanded his skill sets, he says: “During the pandemic, I’ve learned to do two things: make bagels and foster dogs. I’m real proud of both.”

Overwhelming support Nationwide, the story is much the same. In 2020, the coronavirus triggered a 15% rise in pet fostering and adoptions from the previous year – an increase of 26,000 animals overall, according to Shelter Animals Count, a nonprofit data group.

At Canine Humane Network, which fosters its clientele before putting the dogs up for adoption, public support exploded at a time when most shelters, like CHN, were temporarily closing shop.

“We put out a social media plea, and people really stepped up. We’ve gotten about 150 new foster families during the pandemic,” says Mona Hicks, including those named in this story.

Five years ago, Hicks founded the no-kill shelter, which has found homes for nearly 1,700 dogs to date.

Besides Maryland, strays stream in from as far away as Texas, to be scooped up by foster parents who receive the food, medical care, crates and toys, all gratis. In return, families help acclimate the dogs to a normal life for anywhere from a few days to several months.

‘To do something positive’ Each dog enters the foster home in Clarksville timid and fearful, eyes darting this way and that.

Abuse and neglect may be all he or she has known;

why should this place be different?

As always, Cindy Benedek leads the new dog into the kitchen, set off by baby gates, to sniff and to settle in. Then she trots out George, the family’s Great Pyrenees mix and a 90-pound galoot, for a meet-and-greet. The reaction is swift.

“The pups are nervous until they see George; then they physically relax,” says Benedek, who has fostered seven dogs in the past year.

“George wags his tail and gets all wiggly. He gets down on the ground, the puppies jump on him and they wrestle. The whole time they’re here, the pups just follow him around.”

Like others, Benedek and her husband, Dave, began taking in shelter dogs during the pandemic “to do something positive while we’re stuck at home,” but also to give George a friend.

“Before, he would come up while I was working at the computer and want to play,” says Benedek, 54, a biology instructor at Howard Community College. “George would bop me on the back with his nose and then stand there and stare at me.”

Now, he has a job to do.

“George teaches each pup how to be a dog,” Benedek says.“How to go outside and go potty in the grass. How to sit for a treat.

How people aren’t really so bad. He helps them to get used to us, and he’s a good babysitter.”

Usually, after a week or two, the dogs are adopted, leaving George in the lurch.

“He gets a bit mopey,” Benedek says. “Once, a pup’s new family came to our house to pick up their dog, and George got really upset. Now, we do the giveaway at a separate location.”

There’s always another critter to replace the one who left.

“It’s rewarding, doing something to help another creature,” says Dave Benedek, who says they have no plans to stop fostering. “Others manage to do this when there’s not a pandemic, so we can, too.”

Finding family The pictures on the living room table tell all: framed photos of the halfdozen dogs that Katherine Brown has fostered of late.

Six times in the past year, Brown and her partner,

Sam Swanner, have opened their door – and their hearts – to care for shelter dogs. Four of the strays eventually found “forever homes” elsewhere; the other two never left.

“We couldn’t part with either, so we adopted them,” says Brown, 26.

Now Flossi and Hope, both with histories of abuse, romp and tussle in the Elkridge town house their owners bought.

Hope chases tennis balls and Flossi chases Hope until, tired, they plop down in a heap.

Their antics amuse Brown, who marvels at this twist of fate. A year ago, she and Swanner had an apartment, busy jobs and no thoughts of raising pets. Then the virus struck and, while working from home, they chose to foster a dog in need through the Canine Humane Network.

Enter Flossi, an Australian cattle dog mix suffering from heartworm. For two months, they nursed the 3-year-old back to health and when Flossi was fit – and adoptable – the couple hedged. The dog was family; they couldn’t give her up. Moreover, in the midst of the pandemic, they bought a home to give her more room to roam.

“We’d been talking about [getting a house] anyway, but Flossi was the tipping point,” Brown says.

They continued to foster and then fell for Hope, a pit bull mix who arrived scrawny, sick and terrified of men. Now, months later, the two dogs go for woodsy walks, romp in a nearby dog park and generally have the run of the house, including the office where Brown, a therapist, sees patients.

“They’ll come into the office through a doggy door where clients can see them. It’s an icebreaker, for sure,” she says. Flossi and Hope lift Brown’s spirits as well.

“I can end a session, go downstairs, sit on the sofa with them and recharge,” she says. “And on days when I’m frustrated and just want this whole [pandemic] to be over, Hope will cuddle in my lap. She came with that name, and it fits. These dogs have gone through hard times, yet they are still willing to give humans a chance.”

A sense of purpose Elizabeth Burrage fosters shelter dogs in order to look after them

until their big day comes.

Sometimes, it’s the other way around. Burrage, 31, was seven months pregnant on New Year’s Day when the family welcomed Cookie, a lab mix who soon took the woman’s condition to heart.

“She curled up on the couch, in my lap, and put her head and paw on my ‘bump,’ ” Burrage says. “It

was comforting.”

Eventually, Cookie found a stable home, as have the other five dogs that Burrage and her husband, Tyler, have fostered in their Elkridge residence since the start of Covid19. They’ve had Faith, a deaf Pomeranian mix who arrived on the mend from a fractured jaw; Boston, a three-legged mutt who now goes for hikes with his new family; and Rocco, a mongrel who’d had both hips fused, forcing him to sit with his feet to one side, like a mermaid.

“They were all my first babies, and they have a special place in my heart,” says Burrage, a resource development manager for The Arc of Howard County. She and her husband, a civil engineer, have two dogs of their own but chose also to foster others “to give us

a sense of purpose during the pandemic.”

“When you’re quarantined, unless you’re a front line worker there’s not much you can do to help in situations where there is a whole lot of despair. I love giving dogs a second chance and being part of their journey to find families that want them. You don’t have to have a perfect house or yard to foster; these dogs just need to know that they’ll be safe.”

While parting with each adoptee is “bittersweet,” the goodbyes are always cathartic, she says.

“The night before [each adoption], I make some one-on-one time,” she says.

“We snuggle on the bed and I tell them everything will be OK – and that they don’t have to worry about anything in their lives that has happened before.”
