UC Davis students gear up for another year on Putah Creek Todd R. Hansen

WINTERS — More than 3 miles of Putah Creek shoreline is located within the southern boundary of the University of California, Davis campus. Open to the public, the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve also serves as an outdoors land management and conservation laboratory for Davis students who are part of the One Creek Internship program. The reserve area also became a critical focal point during the Putah Creek Accord legal battles, a landmark agreement

that shapes the kind of environmental work and water-sharing policies taking place today. The university also owns about 2 miles of the creek banks on Russell Ranch. Andrew Fulks, director of the internship program and assistant director of the University of California, Davis Arboretum and Public Gardening, said while the curriculum and equipment used are funded through the university, the paid internships are banked by the Solano County Water Agency.

WINTERS — Tullie MacFarland has been fishing at Lake Berryessa for nearly 60 years. The Folsom resident, who was raised near Fresno and lived in Vacaville in her early 20s, said she comes out as much to be on the water as for the fishing, but probably would not do the one without the other. “I am concerned about the drought and the fishing,” MacFarland, 68, said while at Berryessa with a cousin May 20 for a day trip. “I cannot speak about fish planting or stocking or anything like that, but I know the fishing was pretty miserable a few years ago when the drought was really bad,” she said. She actually fishes more for bass than kokanee, but does both. Cameron Smith, 65, known in the area as Captain Cam, can speak about the fish planting at Lake Berryessa – or what he believes is better described as a very limited fish planting, at least salmon stocking. Combine that with the drought and Smith said kokanee anglers at Berryessa can expect the fishery to be destroyed if the state Department of Fish and Wildlife does not increase the planting program. “It’s almost guaranteed because we are going into this drought with less of a (kokanee) population than we did in 2014,” Smith said. He said the kokanee fishery was all but dead from 2014 to 2018. Kokanee are landlocked sockeye salmon. Ryan Watanabe, a fishery biologist for state Fish and Wildlife who has Lake Berryessa in his area, said Berryessa endures the droughts better than most lakes, though water temperature can be a concern. Kokanee prefer temperatures between 50 and 55.4 degrees, so as water levels drop, those temperatures rise. As far as kokanee distribution, this year Berryessa did better than some of the other 15 reservoirs that are stocked. “Our (traditional) annual allotment is 755,000 (fish statewide) and this year we released 602,690, which was about 80% of the target,” Watanabe said. Berryessa received its full 50,000 allotment of kokanee fingerlings, one of five lakes to receive that amount. Typically, eight reservoirs would get that level, so three received fewer than usual this year. Only Shasta Lake, with 150,000 fish, and Bullards Bar in Yuba County, with 60,000, received more, Watanabe said. Similarly, Lake Berryessa received 60,000 chinook, or King salmon, which ranked fifth among the 10 lakes that are stocked. Berryessa traditionally would be one of four lakes See Fishery, Page A9

Excessive heat warning on horizon for county Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Summer temperatures arrive early this year as the National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for the area on Memorial Day and into Tuesday. High pressure has built overhead throughout Northern California. High temperatures will soar into the upper 90s and 100s as early as Sunday. Warmer temperatures are also expected Monday and Tuesday across the valley with localized areas in the central and northern Sacramento Valley approaching 108 to 110. Craig Shoemaker of the National Weather Service in Sacramento said temperatures are predicted to come in at 96 degrees Sunday in Fairfield, 103 Monday and 94 Tuesday before the Delta breeze returns to knock temperatures back down a bit. Vacaville is predicted slightly hotter at 96 Sunday, 105 Monday and 96 Tuesday.

“Monday is the day we really expect the highest heat threat,” Shoemaker said. “This is really early in the season to have this kind of heat. It’s way above normal for this time of year. We could see some records with highs Monday.” The excessive heat warning was issued because the hot afternoon temperatures, combined with the warm overnight lows in the middle/low 60s and 70s, will produce widespread moderate to high heat risk. The warming will remain in effect from noon Monday to 8 p.m. Tuesday. The weather service warns those taking part in outdoor activity to take extra precaution. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun as much as possible, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstance.

CHP warns of enforcement period for holiday weekend Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The California Highway Patrol, including Solano County, is engaged in a maximum enforcement period this Memorial Day weekend. The period opened at 6 p.m. Friday and continues to 11:59 p.m. Monday, the CHP reports. The focus will be on properly using seat belts. Officers will be watching for distracted drivers and those who are impaired by drugs and alcohol. CHP officers from across the state are participating in the program. “Seat belts save lives every day, yet some people still don’t buckle up,” CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray said in a press release. “Start the holiday weekend off right by making sure you and your passengers

are properly restrained.” The CHP reports that 31 people died in car crashes last year statewide over the holiday weekend, and 78% of those people killed were not wearing seat belts. Officers made 854 arrests for impaired driving during the 78-hour campaign. The CHP also reminds motorists to protect child passengers through the proper use of car seats, booster seats and seat belts. The law requires whenever possible, children younger than 8 ride in the back seat and that children younger than 2 always be secured in a rear-facing car seat. CHP officers are also participating in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s ongoing “Click it or Ticket” campaign, which started May 17 and ends June 6.

FAIRFIELD — You can put the garbage out if your collection day is Monday, but do not drop the children off at school if they are in hybrid learning or full classroom mode. As the nation gathers to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, city, county, state and

national offices are closed for Memorial Day. Libraries and schools will be shuttered. There will be no mail delivery. Many brick-and-mortar financial institutions will also closed, as is the office of the Daily Republic. Public transit will run on a reduced schedule. Emergency medical care and police and fire services will be available.

Ferrara announces 2022 re-election campaign for sheriff Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — What many may have known for a long time, Tom Ferrara made official Friday by posting on his re-election website he will run again for Solano County sheriff in 2022. Ferrara, 60, has served as sheriff since 2012 and has been in the department for 38 years. He says it is too soon to ferrara retire and is proud to announce that he has the full support of the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association and the Correctional Officers Association. “I love to go to work, I love the challenge and I love the people I work with,” Ferrara said. “If I can still do good, I’m happy to stay, but that’s up to the voters to decide. I’m excited and ready to go.” The decision to announce now made sense to him. It will give him another year to get the word out of his re-election campaign and build support through personal appearances. “We’re about a year away and everybody kind of knew I was going to run, but I’ve had people ask me about it and I felt it was the right time to get going,” he said. “I love the job and I think there is a lot more to do.” Ferrara said his leadership skills have been put to the test over his time,

dealing with multiple disasters, civil unrest and the pandemic. He said the support of the deputy sheriff’s and the correctional officers “energizes him.” “The fact that the people I work with endorse me is a big deal,” Ferrara said. “I’m happy to stay if the voters want me. If I don’t get a shot in 2022, I guess I’d retire.” Ferrara said he is proud that under his leadership the jail expansion happened, the vocational training center was completed and the department has improved its customer service. He said the work has set up the county for 30 years in terms of space needs and efforts to lower recidivism rates by helping inmates get educations and job training. Ferrara was appointed by the Solano County Board of Supervisors in 2012 when Gary Stanton retired. He has had successful re-election bids in each election cycle since. Ferrara used to have a pact with Stanton that they would retire together. But Stanton put his support behind Ferrara at the time of his retirement and has stayed on in the lead role. “I know of no individual more qualified to replace me as sheriff,” Stanton wrote in his recommendation to the Board of Supervisors in 2012. The board chose Ferrara with a unanimous vote.

Fairfield council to consider additional pot shop permits Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — The City Council on Tuesday will continue its consideration of awarding as many as two additional preliminary cannabis retail permits. Two preliminar y permits were already approved May 4 for Responsible and Compliant Retail (Embarc), with a proposed location at 180 Serrano Ave., Suite A; and to JJVI (Bright Spot), which has a proposed location at 1990 Walters Court. There were 14 applicants for the permits, and three others – The Showcase LLC, CCC Associates of Fairfield and Authentic Fairfield LLC – each received some support and were identified as possible recipients of two additional

permits made available by the council. A limited public hearing is scheduled to address specific concerns about one of those applicants, Showcase LLC, which has come under scrutiny because of past practices. The council also awarded a preliminary cannabis manufacturing permit May 18 to 3Bros Fairfield, the only applicant for the permit. The council is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. after a closed session at 5 p.m., during which the council will be updated on the status of three property negotiations, and a special open session at 5:30 p.m. to consider a Fast Forward 2021 update.

Solano hopeful of coming out of Memorial Day in orange Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FA I R F I E L D — Indeed, what a difference a year makes. Health officials were extremely concerned about the possible surge in coronavirus cases heading into the Memorial Day weekend last year. This year, health officials are hopeful the state will announce Tuesday that Solano County has graduated into the orange tier. If so, more pandemic restrictions would be lifted Wednesday. “We are a far more vaccinated community and we are seeing far less disease,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said Friday about the comparison of Memorial Day 2020 and Memorial Day 2021. “There was a lot of concern coming out of our office, and there was a lot of frustration in the community,” he said. Matyas said without the hard lockdown of 2020, that frustration level is down and residents are not feeling as penned up as they did last year. The Public Health Division reported 32 new cases Friday, bringing the

total to 33,293. And while that marked the second straight day of numbers over the orange tier threshold of 27 cases, Matyas said they will not affect the county’s likely move to orange. The county also announced it has surpassed its goal of vaccinating 225,000 residents 16 or older with at least one shot. “We have met our goal, so it is time to revise our goal,” Matyas said. He has indicated the county’s new focus will include the full age range of 12 and older. Matyas did report four more deaths, all from December or January, and bringing the total to 238. There were two women and one man who were 70 or older, and one man between 50 and 65. The younger man and one woman were living at home. The other two were in some kind of senior facility. “So of our 238 deaths, 61 were in congregate facilities for the elderly,” Matyas said. The number of individuals in the hospital with the disease Friday dropped by two to 13, and

active cases also dropped, from 184 to 181. The seven-day positivity testing rate, however, was up to 4.9%, a figure Matyas said reflects the county receiving positive reports faster than negative reports. The state corrects with a longer lag time so there should be no issue with preventing the county from going into the orange tier next week, he said. Fairfield added 13 new cases to take its total to 9,062. Vallejo added three cases to reach 9,857. Vacaville, with nine new cases, has a count of 8,690, the county reported. Suisun City (2,279) added two cases; Dixon (1,916) added one; Benicia (999) added two; and Rio Vista (387) added two. There were no new reports in the unincorporated area (103). The number of individuals who have been tested for the virus climbed by 310 to 211,143 while 451 more tests took the total that have been administered to 318,880, the county reported. Because of the holiday Monday, the Public Health Division will not release a new update until Tuesday.

Council ponders 5-year freeze on cuts into streets that were just paved Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — The City Council on Tuesday will consider a five-year cut moratorium to streets that have just received pavement treatments. The proposal notes the city is responsible for 153 lane miles of roadways with more than 13 million square feet of pavement. The city has a pavement management program, with the goal of keeping the street in the best condition possible given the available funding. “One way to achieve this goal is to perform preventive maintenance and reconstruction treatments on the city streets each year,” the staff proposal reads. “Along with above-described the

road maintenance, the other way to achieve the said goal is to establish a five-year street cut moratorium to streets that have just received pavement treatments.” The proposal goes on to state the street cut moratorium will minimize pavement degradation, maintain the structural integrity of streets, maintain a smooth riding surface for all modes of transportation and limit negative visual impacts. Several local agencies, ranging from Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to the Solano Transportation Authority, were notified via email of the proposal in late April. A number of the agencies and utility companies provided feedback before the requested May 1 dead-

line, a staff report said. Staff followed through with a phone call to those which did not reply by the deadline. No negative feedback was received, the staff reports. The proposed ordinance also applies to newly constructed streets such as those in the new Zephyr Estates Subdivision at the southeast corner of Walters Road and East Tabor Avenue. Proposed exemptions include: n Emergencies that endanger life or property. n Interruption of essential utility service. n Work that is mandated by city, state or federal law. n Service for buildings where no other reasonable means of providing service exists.

n Situations in which no alternative course of action exists, as determined by the city engineer. A waiver is needed through the Public Works Department to excavate one of the streets covered by the proposed moratorium. A list of affected streets can be found in the City Council agenda at www.suisun.com. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at 701 Civic Center Blvd. There are limited seats available. The meeting can also be viewed on the city’s Facebook page. Attendance restrictions, required health and safety measures, and alternative ways to participate in the meeting are available on the agenda.

Tribune Content Agency MINNEAPOLIS — The mother of a teenager has filed a lawsuit seeking damages from the estate of Daunte Wright, claiming that Wright, who was killed by a Brooklyn Center police officer April 11, shot her son in the head at a north Minneapolis gas station in 2019, leaving him permanently disabled. Jennifer LeMay filed the lawsuit Friday on behalf of her son Caleb JaChin Duane Livingston, 18, whom the lawsuit said is “alive but has no function.” The family no longer lives in Minnesota. On May 14, 2019, the lawsuit claims, Wright fired a gun at the Full Stop gas station at 1818 N. Lowry Av. Livingston, who was visiting from Illinois, had stopped there to fill his tank. After a brief confrontation, he was shot. The lawsuit maintains that at 9:19 p.m. that day, Wright intentionally shot at Livingston, striking him once in the head and causing “serious, disabling, and permanent injuries.” No one has been

Daunte Wright, shown with his son, Daunte Jr., was shot and killed in April by then-Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter, who reportedly believed she was firing at Wright with her Taser. Now Wright’s estate is the target of an unrelated lawsuit. charged in the shooting. LeMay’s lawyer, Mike Padden, claims in the lawsuit that a “plethora” of evidence points to Wright as the person who shot Livingston. Messages left for Wright’s mother, Katie Wright, and the family’s attorney, Jeff Storms, were not returned. According to court records, the lawsuit was filed May 4, but LeMay

requested that it be sealed because of “plans to enter into negotiations” with lawyers for Wright’s estate, along with the fact that the shooting remains under investigation. After LeMay withdrew her request, Judge Edward Wahl ordered the documents unsealed on May 21. Police spokesman John Elder said Friday that the shooting case remains open. A filing in the lawsuit claims that as young boys, Livingston and Wright were friends but had a falling out. In early May 2019, Livingston beat up Wright in front of others, the suit says. “It is believed that this was a significant factor/motive as to why Wright targeted and shot Livingston,” the document said. Wright, the suit says, was a member of a gang and had a significant criminal history beginning at age 12. Public records show that Wright had an open aggravated-robbery case from December 2019 set for trial Aug 2. He pleaded not guilty March 2 of last year and posted bail, but his bail

was revoked in July for possessing a firearm and failing to contact his probation officer. He was arrested and bonded out again in September. There are images of Wright on social media pointing a Smith & Wesson 9-millimeter handgun, the lawsuit said. See Lawsuit, Page A10

State’s UI Fund deep in debt

A

single paragraph on Page 180 of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s revised 2021-22 budget refers to one of the state government’s most vexing dilemmas – an immense debt it owes to the federal government for support payments to millions of Californians who lost their jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic. By the end of the year, the state’s Unemployment Insurance Fund is expected to owe more than $24 billion that – unless Congress forgives the debt – must be repaid with interest. And if the state doesn’t make its payments, the feds will hike payroll taxes on California employers to retire the loan. It could have been worse. Newsom’s original budget Dan Walters projected that the debt would reach $48.3 billion by the end of 2021, but as employment picked up and the unemployment rate declined, the estimate was cut in half. The state began taking out loans when last year’s sudden spike in pandemic-related unemployment quickly exhausted the Unemployment Insurance Fund. The state is responsible for the first tier of payments to jobless workers and by the end of 2020, California had borrowed $18 billion to cover its basic payments. California resorted to borrowing because its Unemployment Insurance Fund had one of the nation’s most anemic reserves, as the federal Department of Labor often notes, due to a decades-long political stalemate. Two decades ago, the Unemployment Insurance Fund had a healthy reserve, but then-Gov. Gray Davis and the Legislature, bowing to pressure from labor unions, sharply increased unemployment benefits without increasing payroll taxes to pay for them due to counter-pressure from employers. When the Great Recession struck a few years later, the Unemployment Insurance Fund was quickly drained and the state borrowed from the federal government to cover benefits, eventually owing about $11 billion. The debt was repaid via higher federal payroll taxes over 10 years, but the Unemployment Insurance Fund never recovered. Until the pandemic struck, the state was paying out about $5 billion a year in benefits and collecting just enough taxes to cover them, but not enough to rebuild a reserve. Today, with the state owing twice as much as the previous debt, two big questions loom. How will the debt be repaid and will California ever put its unemployment insurance program on a sound financial footing? Newsom’s revised budget offers $1.1 billion to pay down the debt, but the Business Roundtable is pressing him to allocate more from the state’s multibilliondollar budget surplus and/or federal relief funds. “Addressing the UI Fund debt is a critical part of the state’s economic recovery,” the roundtable’s president, Rob Lapsley, said in a statement. “The massive debt is a looming threat for every business in California. If unaddressed, the debt will lead to an automatic tax increase on every business in the state at a time when they can least afford it.” “Businesses did not cause this recession and should not bear the burden of paying off this massive debt,” Lapsley said in the statement. However, the left-leaning California Budget & Policy Center says the $1.1 billion is already too much, describing it as a “poorly targeted tax break to businesses that were not paying enough into the UI system before the pandemic at the expense of helping Californians most harmed by the economic crisis who need financial support now.” It’s likely that the feds will once again hike payroll taxes on employers to repay California’s new and much-larger debt, which will make them even less willing to pay more state taxes to rebuild the Unemployment Insurance Fund for the next recession. If it sounds like a never-ending circular crisis, that’s because it is. It’s akin to consumers taking out credit card loans to make their credit card payments.

can be attributed to a few faux pas. The foremost failure was the convoluted school openings that were determined by each county based upon its hue and cry of the people, and possibly some phase of the moon. Now, as a result, the requirements have also been trimmed, thus delivering a diluted diploma. Another mindbender was the dumping of any evaluative exam that would reveal how little sleep a kid got in class.

task the Department of Defense with evacuating vulnerable Afghan employees – before the final U.S. withdrawal, when U.S. forces still control major airports. The evacuees could also include Afghan aid workers, who worked closely with U.S. officials and are at dire risk. They could be given temporary shelter into third countries for visa processing, or it could be done in the United States. If this sounds impossible, in a time when refugee admissions are a hot button issue, consider this: As the United States evacuated Vietnam in 1975, U.S. planes took with them nearly 120,000 Vietnamese who worked with the Americans. And in 1996, as Saddam Hussein’s troops invaded their region, thousands of Iraqi Kurds were evacuated to Guam for visa processing, and then permitted to enter the United States. So the historic models are there, but the White House will is lacking, so far. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, a passionate human rights supporter, has decried China’s alleged “genocide” of Uighurs, to whom we owe no moral debt. Is he willing to abandon Afghans who helped us to the Taliban’s mercy? There is potential bipartisan support in Congress. A letter to Biden last week from 20 senators – half of them Republican – suggested considering an evacuation for SIV applicants. I’d add that non-SIV candidates, including female activists, should also be permitted to enter under Biden’s expanded numbers for refugee admissions. But bipartisan pressure must be more forceful and more urgent. If we wait until Sept. 11, it may already be too late.

of the arsenal of ammunition and weapons they later seized from Sam Cassidy’s home. In the three days since the massacre, which left the families of nine victims bereft and making funeral arrangements Friday, the family has holed up in the modest Cassidy family home in Cupertino. Ann flew down from Oregon to be with her elderly parents. “Every hour that ticks by I’m learning something new and disturbing about my brother,” she wrote. She called her brother “a very reclusive person,” especially since his divorce about 15 years ago. His ex-wife has told this news organization that he had an explosive temper and was often angry about work. Ann said she and her parents had “absolutely no idea about his private life” and rarely saw him. He often canceled plans to join them for dinner. “Every once in a while he would open up a bit and we’d get a glimpse at what he was feeling (at work, with his neighbors, or just random injustices of the world),” she wrote. “He seemed to really struggle with the basic coping skills of managing stress. He tended to make too much out of an innocent comment and was quick to suspect bad intentions toward him, almost verging on paranoia.” The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Cassidy was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as he was returning to the U.S. from the Philippines in 2016, carrying “books about terrorism and fear and manifestos . . . as well as a black memo book filled with lots of notes about how he hates the VTA,” according to a Department of Homeland Security memo circulated after the shooting. Local authorities say they were not previously aware of such a report.

From Page One to get 100,000 fish. Smith said the state used to plant 150,000 kokanee and another 150,000 King salmon at Berryessa. There are 23 kokanee sport fishing sites listed by the state Fish and Wildlife, including Lake Berryessa. Nine of the sites are in the Sacramento foothills ranging east up to Lake Tahoe and as far north as Bucks Lake above Chico. Smith said the state, and through a contract with the nonprofit Kokanee Power, have turned what was once a thriving salmon fishery into a shadow of itself. “They are managing the lake as a trophy kokanee (lake), thinking if they plant fewer fish, maybe the fish would grow larger. But that is not what happened,” Smith said. “It was already producing the biggest kokanee in the state, and had the biggest population.” Kokanee Power is listed as a nonprofit on its website, which states that the organization is “dedicated to the enhancement of California and Oregon inland kokanee, trout and salmon fisheries.” There was no response to an email seeking

Creek From Page One increasing to $15 an hour in 2021, UC Davis and the water agency are working on a new threeyear, $45,000 contract expected to be completed in July, Fulks said. The program started in 2012. Solano County Water Agency became involved in 2018. “The way we have it is we have two student leaders who work with staff to help coordinate the internships,” Fulks said. Eight to 10 students each quarter are selected and receive class credit for the work. Some of those students will carry over from one quarter to another. “Then we partner with the Putah Creek Council and the Solano County Water Agency brings on additional internships,” Fulks said. “So we can have as many as 30 internships (in the school year) . . .

Biden From Page One lead pipes that poison older neighborhoods. Research and development grants would have a set-aside for historically Black colleges and universities. But in other areas, White House officials said, the focus on equity was “built in.” As a candidate and in the early days of his presidency, Biden promised to not only return the country to the economic state it was in before the coronavirus pandemic but address longstanding social justice issues. Those issues took on new urgency after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis a year ago triggered a summer of protests. His definition of infrastructure in the two bills that address those promises is stretched far beyond where Republicans want to go and costs far more than they are willing to spend. Both sides are negotiating a compromise plan for the traditional infrastructure such as improvements to roads, bridges and airports. Congressional Democrats are pushing Biden to pass the rest in a reconciliation process that won’t require Republican support.

comment. There was no phone number provided. Watanabe confirmed that Lake Berryessa’s allocation was reduced in years past to manage the kokanee as a trophy fishery, but said that Kokanee Power is not part of deciding fish allocations. The biologist does not doubt the organization may lobby for more fish in certain locations, but that happens across the board. He said he gets calls from bass fishermen who want more salmon and trout planted at Berryessa to provide the bass with more food. Smith said the thriving bass population at Berryessa takes a toll on the salmon populations, and with lower planting numbers, fewer survive and grow to catchable sizes. Smith, a Vallejo native and Benicia resident, describes Lake Berryessa as the only cold water, inland salmon fishery that is located in proximity to the 20 million Bay Area residents. “If (Gov. Gavin) Newsom wanted to increase Fish and Wildlife opportunity they would do so starting with Lake Berryessa,” Smith noted in an email. He said he sent all his information and concerns to the state, to Solano and Napa county officials,

the city of Napa, as well as to state and federal representatives. That material went out about two weeks ago. The only response he has received to date was from U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, who directed Smith to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. Smith said he included the federal representatives because Berryessa is a federally owned lake. The federal government contracts with the state to manage the fisheries. He wonders if that federal ownership is one of the reasons why the state, he said, gives preference to other inland lakes. More likely, he asserted, it is because those other lakes are in areas where members of Kokanee Power live and fish. “For the last 10 years they (the state Department of Fish and Wildlife) and Kokanee Power have managed and maintained Lake Berryessa salmon fisheries levels at the most minimal levels possible that have caused a complete collapse and (was) lost for a number of years during the last drought, which will happen again with the drought,” Smith wrote. “And due . . . to the very limited amount of fish plants that they are providing to Lake Berryessa.” Smith said he does not

believe taking fish for Berryessa would damage the fish populations in the valley and foothill lakes. “What they are doing in the other lakes is they are overstocking and so this would not affect their populations at all,” Smith argued. Moreover, he said lakes like Pardee, New Melones and Tahoe all have kokanee spawning programs. Another factor that could come into play is the effort by Napa County to re-establish the oncethriving resort industry at Lake Berryessa. MacFarland said her family used to stay at the resorts, coming up from the Fresno area for a week or two, and fishing was always a centerpiece of those trips. Watanabe said Fish and Wildlife has not been part of any fishery management discussions in relation to the redevelopment of the resorts, but he stays abreast of the county’s work. He said there have been discussions about doing surveys once the resorts are up and running to see if fishery use is climbing, and checking food sources, all of which could influence changes in the management plan. Calls to Napa County seeking comment were not returned.

and that gives a lot of students experience in land management, habitat restoration and conservation who go on in those fields,” Fulks said. The One Creek program since 2018 was able to hire 12 students, serve more than 90 interns and work along the entire length of Putah Creek. Students have restored acres of riparian habitat and created dozens of new professionals working in natural resource management. The ecological management program, for example, gives students skills they can take directly to natural resources jobs. It is hands-on work that ties what students learn in the classrooms to the real world. They are trained in the use of herbicides, develop a native plant seed collection calendar and can even learn how to use heavy equipment such as excavators. “Working with the streamkeeper, (students) implemented a bank restoration on the Hammond property, fostering posi-

tive landowner relations, restoring habitat and preventing trespass. This work would not have been possible without the One Creek students,” program literature states. The best part, Fulks said, is that because of the partnerships, all under the umbrella of the Lower Putah Creek Coordinating Committee, the students work at different tasks up and down the creek – including projects on privately owned properties. “It’s all coordinated,” said Fulks, and thus the name One Creek. “There are different objectives on different parts of the creek depending on the owner,” Fulks said. T hat i n c lu d e s a firsthand look at the Solano County Water Agency’s water system management. Fulks said it changes how the students look at water agencies and their influence on watersheds and water management. It also includes learning what it takes to work with

a variety of agencies and other creek interests. Fulks said he started the program because of his own experience as an intern with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, time he said shaped his life personally and professionally. A UC Davis graduate who was raised in Mountain View, Fulks studied landscape architecture with an emphasis on habitat restoration. He said the students can work on weed abatement and native plant restoration projects, but also learn how to manage public access and trail and park design, as well as the details of water systems. “They get exposed to all of that,” Fulks said. One of the biggest changes in the program over the years is the growing interest from female students. That has forced the university to look at its own program management, everything from safety equipment to expanding fields of interest.

The budget did not provide a breakout of programs designed specifically to address racial and ethnic disparities, so there’s no accounting of the total spending. But a review of some of Biden’s biggest proposals finds some examples:

expanded, and a maternal health initiative would try to reduce racial disparities in deaths from childbirth.

in past decades. A $110 million “thriving communities” initiative would focus on transportation improvements in underserved areas.

Health care A $400 billion expansion of Medicaid would allow for better pay and benefits for community-based and home health care workers, who are disproportionately minority women. Funding for the Indian Health Service would be increased by $2.2 billion. The plan proposed $200 million to implement implicit bias training for health-care providers, and address the disparity in care for rural and minority women. It also proposes to spend $3 billion on programs to reduce maternal mortality among non-White women.

Child care The most expensive items would establish new child-care programs and pay for universal paid family leave. The definition of family would include non-traditional families, helping LGBTQ parents and people with disabilities. School-lunch and summer nutrition programs would also be

Education Biden’s plan would provide as many as four additional years of public education at the beginning and end of a person’s schooling, starting with universal preschools and making community colleges and universities free. He would expand eligibility for Pell Grants to so-called Dreamers who came to the U.S. with their undocumented immigrant parents and carve out funds for historically Black colleges and tribal colleges. At $7 billion over 10 years, one of the smallest categories of spending is teacher training. Biden’s plan would help recruit minority teachers and support teachers’ colleges in minority communities.

Roads and bridges Minority communities are more likely to suffer from floods, drought, erosion and other effects of climate change, so mitigation and resilience efforts will be focused on those areas, the White House said. There’s also a $15 billion program to reconnect the mostly minority and lowincome neighborhoods that were torn apart by highway building projects

Utilities An emphasis on clean drinking water would eliminate the lead water mains that endanger the health of children in older, minority neighborhoods like Flint, Michigan, a majority Black city where thousands of children were exposed to leadcontaminated water. The $45 billion program would replace all the nation’s lead water lines. The Biden administration aims to bridge the digital divide by providing 100% broadband access in Black and Latino communities.

Buildings The plan calls for $213 billion to build and upgrade 2 million affordable housing units with an eye toward helping communities that have faced historic housing discrimination. There’s also money to upgrade schools and federal buildings. Biden also wants to spend $3.8 billion for grants to communities to modernize, rehabilitate or build recreation centers or commercial corridor improvement in areas that face persistent poverty.

GOP unveils final version of Texas elections bill, which includes more rules, restrictions Tribune Content Agency AUSTIN, Texas — The final version of the sweeping GOP elections bill, negotiated in private by two Republican leaders from the House and Senate, was unveiled Saturday, setting up an intensely partisan showdown over a measure that now includes a longer list of new rules and restrictions. With GOP majorities in both houses, however, there is little doubt about the ultimate fate of floor votes on Senate Bill 7, a measure Republicans insisted is needed to bolster flagging faith in the election system but Democrats blasted as a transparent attempt to make it harder to vote, particularly for those who support their party. Opponents are already preparing to challenge many of the bill’s provisions in court. “SB 7 is a ruthless piece of legislation,” said Sarah Labowitz with the ACLU of Texas, one of the groups vowing to sue if the bill becomes law. “It targets voters of color and voters with disabilities in a state that’s already the most difficult place to vote in the country.” House and Senate Republicans took different paths on the bill they call the Election Integrity Protection Act of 2021, sending SB 7 to a conference committee led by Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, and Rep. Briscoe Cain, R-Deer Park. Hughes and Cain negotiated a final version of SB 7 that includes provisions that were not in either house’s version of the bill, broadening its scope to a wide array of election-related matters, including tighter regulations on mail-in and early voting. The two Republicans also created a stir by announcing Friday night that they had agreed upon a final version of the bill, surprising three Democrats on the conference committee – one senator and two House members – who com-

Voters line up to cast their ballot during the early voting period for the general U.S. election at Fretz Park Public Library in Dallas, Oct. 20, 2020. plained that they had not seen the final version or taken part in negotiations. “This is egregious!” Rep. Terry Canales, D-Edinburg, said Friday night on Twitter. The final version of SB 7 must be approved – without the opportunity for changes – by simple majorities in both the House and Senate. SB 7, which grew from 23 pages to 67 pages in the conference committee, includes: n A ban on drive-thru voting or polling places inside tents or other temporary structures, with no voting allowed from inside a vehicle except by those with a disability who qualify for curbside voting. n No 24-hour voting or extended hours for in-person voting, which could begin no earlier than 6 a.m. and end no later than 9 p.m. n Polling places could not open before 1 p.m. on the last Sunday of early voting, a traditional day of “Souls to the Polls” events that are popular in Black churches. n Those who vote by mail would have to begin including their driver’s license number, state ID number or last four

digits of their Social Security number on the inner envelope. Ballots must be rejected if the numbers aren’t included or do not match what the voter listed on the vote-by-mail application. n Those who help somebody cast an in-person ballot because of a physical limitation or language barrier would have to fill out a form listing their name, address, relationship to the voter and whether they accepted money or another benefit from “a candidate, campaign, or political committee.” n Those who drive three or more people to the polls would have to provide their name and address on a form provided by an election worker, and indicate whether they are also providing help to a voter based on a disability. Drivers related to all passengers would be exempt. The forms would be collected by the secretary of state’s office, which would have to provide them upon request to the state attorney general. n It bans sending applications to unregistered voters that already have their name and address filled out, which has been proven to increase the number of people who get regis-

tered to vote in time. n Vote-by-mail applications could be sent only to voters who request one, and a government official who violates the restriction could be charged with a state jail felony and receive up to two years in jail. n Voter registration applications could not be sent with a name and address already filled in, a popular strategy to increase responses during voter drives. SB 7 also would create several new crimes and beef up penalties for existing offenses. The new crime of vote harvesting, defined as receiving compensation for interacting with voters with the intent to deliver votes for a specific candidate or ballot measure, would be a third-degree felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison. In addition, elections officials who count invalid votes, or reject valid ballots, could be prosecuted for a state jail felony. The House-passed version of the bill had a lower penalty. The final version of SB 7 also stripped out several House amendments that would have let voters fix signature problems on mail-in ballots and better track ballots after they were mailed.

Lawsuit From Page A7 As a result of the shooting, Livingston suffered “grievous and permanent injuries to his body and nervous system, past and future loss of earnings and earning capacity, past and future medical expenses, past and future pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, humiliation, embarrassment, and severe emotional distress,” the lawsuit said. LeMay, who lived in Chicago at the time, spoke to the Star Tribune in November 2019 about her son’s injury. To relieve pressure on Livingston’s swollen brain, surgeons removed a large portion of his skull. After he was declared brain dead, he was taken off life support but survived. He spent 33 days in the ICU at North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, where the bill totaled more than $545,000 and caused a fight with her insurance company over who would pay. “I didn’t ask for my child to be shot,” LeMay said at the time. “So I have literally liquidated everything that I have stored away for savings.” LeMay had her son transferred to a Chicago hospital and then a transitional facility. His mom said she saw signs of progress with her son opening his eyes, eating ice cream, responding to voices and sometimes giving a thumbs-up. Padden said Livingston’s diagnosis is unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. The lawsuit said that Livingston cannot meet his basic needs and his mother must handle all his personal affairs. Wright, 20, was shot and killed by then-Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter, who reportedly believed she was firing at Wright with her Taser but shot him with her handgun. She has been charged with second-degree manslaughter. Since his death, Wright’s parents have been working with civil rights lawyer Ben Crump, the same lawyer who won a $27 million settlement from the city of Minneapolis for the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

Trump fans find fellowship at Dallas conference to talk God, patriotism Tribune Content Agency DALLAS — It had all the buzz and excitement of a political convention, except that the next presidential election is still a few years away. That didn’t matter for many of those who attended opening festivities of the For God & Country Patriot Roundup conference at the city-owned Omni Dallas Hotel. They didn’t care that the nation had elected Joe Biden as president in November. They said they came to the weekend event because they want to learn more about how to steer the country back to traditional conservative values steeped in religion, law and order – and yes, Donald Trump. Many attendees also said they want to learn more about corruption in Washington, D.C., that they insist is being ignored by traditional news outlets. They drank and ate and schmoozed at Bob’s Steak and Chop House inside the hotel with retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who held court at a large table in the bar area and posed for selfies with admirers. Flynn was Trump’s former national security adviser before he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his role in the Russia scandal. Trump absolved him with a pardon. On Friday, the first day of the three-day conference, Flynn was a star, a person to be seen and photographed with. A grim-faced conference organizer shot down a request for an interview. Flynn “definitely” didn’t want to talk to a newspaper reporter, the man said. Brenda Bintz, 67, a retired nurse from New

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn was among the main attractions at the For God & Country Patriot Roundup conference this weekend in Dallas. Jersey, grabbed a smoke outside before the VIP meet-and-greet reception kicked off. “Our country needs to turn around,” she said. “We’ve turned our back on God.” Bintz, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, said she wants to learn new ideas for how to help get the nation back on track. She hoped her first visit to Dallas would prove fruitful and informative. Like some others at the conference, Bintz said she didn’t pay a lot of money and travel a long distance to spend her Memorial Day weekend hearing about QAnon, a conspiracy theory about Satan-worshipping pedophiles. She did, however, look forward to hearing Flynn speak. She also was eager to hear from Sidney Powell, the former Flynn and Trump lawyer who mounted numerous failed

legal challenges to the election results. “All I know is that I’m a patriot,” Bintz said. Both Flynn and Powell have maintained that the presidential election was stolen from Trump and have brought attention to QAnon. According to the event’s website, a portion of proceeds from the convention will go to Defending the Republic, a political nonprofit that Powell founded while fighting the election results. The event will feature speakers, entertainment and interactions with high-profile conservative politicians who promoted the Q theory and worked to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election. A group called The Patriot Voice, which organized the conference, referred to it as its “inaugural kick-off event” on its website. “For three days, you

Mass grave of 215 Indigenous children discovered in Canada Tribune Content Agency Researchers have found the remains of 215 Indigenous children on the property of a former boarding school in Canada. Rosanne Casimir, the chief of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc, formerly known as the Kamloops Indian Band, first confirmed the discovery on Thursday. Radar devices were used during the search at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School near the city of Kamloops in British Columbia, Casimir said. “We had a knowing in our community that we were able to verify. To our knowledge, these missing children are undocumented deaths,” said

Canada’s residential schools were institutions run by the government or the church to forcibly assimilate Indigenous children. Casimir, adding that some of the children were as young as 3 years old. The cause of the deaths was still unknown. Canada’s residential schools were institutions run by the government or the church to forcibly assimilate Indigenous children. For decades, thousands of children were taken from their families and placed in residential schools, where they had

to learn the traditions of European colonialists to forget their own culture. Violence and sexual abuse were common in these schools. According to Casimir, the Kamloops Residential School was one of the largest in Canada, operating between 1890 and 1978 under the auspices of the Catholic Church and later the government. Up to 500 boys and girls stayed at the school under horrible conditions, with many suffering from hunger, Casimir said. According to a 2015 government report on Canada’s residential schools, the Kamloops institution was also extremely unhygienic and many children died of measles, tuberculosis or influenza.

will have the opportunity to hear from some of your favorite Patriots and Digital Soldiers in both keynote speeches and panel forums,” the website says. “You will also have the opportunity to meet and interact with these people, as well as meet fellow Patriots from around the country and world.” Calvin Tomicich and his wife, Carol, drove from a small town in Washington State to Dallas to attend the political-themed conference, the first such event for both of them. Tomicich, 72, a retired Seattle firefighter and Vietnam War veteran, said he was a Democrat for many years and voted for former President Bill Clinton. But Trump, he said, is the best president he’s seen in his lifetime. “We’re American patriots, and we want to find out what’s going on with our country,” he said. “We’re in precarious times right now. . . . We want to get this country back to normal.” Tomicich said the last presidential election remains clouded in corruption and dishonesty in his mind. The mainstream media, he said, is not going to illuminate what went wrong. “I want to know what’s being done about it,” he said. “That’s why we’re here. You have to go looking. Search for it yourself.” Tomicich said he doesn’t have any theories about who is behind QAnon but that he thinks it’s a person or persons behind the scenes who possesses knowledge about what’s really going on. “Maybe we’ll find out some day,” he said.

Mass shooting in Miami leaves 1 dead, 6 injured Tribune Content Agency MIAMI — The Memorial Day weekend began violently late Friday night when seven people were shot, one fatally, during a drive-by shooting on the street outside a rented party space on property that borders Overtown and Wynwood. Most of the victims were taken to local hospitals by friends or acquaintances, police said. One remains in serious condition, the other five received more minor wounds. Miami police officer and spokeswoman Kiara Delva said police were alerted to the mass shooting by an electronic monitoring device known as ShotSpotter, which relays gunfire sounds to police. When police arrived they found victims scattered about near Northwest 20th Street and First Court. Delva said police have determined the shooter fired dozens of rounds from a car. The make is pending as the investigation continues. On Saturday morning,

detectives continued to investigate the scene and gather forensic evidence. More than three dozen yellow markers could be seen on the street, indicating the number of shell casings. Police found at least two different types of casings. It wasn’t immediately clear what caliber weapons were used. Six of the victims were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, Delva said. A seventh went to the University of Miami hospital. The shooter remained atlarge Saturday morning. Promoters of the party at the event space advertised it on fliers as a Caribbeanthemed gathering. According to a law enforcement source familiar with the incident, one or two people may have been targeted. Whoever fired, apparently shot indiscriminately into a crowd of people. Video footage of the incident, the source said, looks like a “war zone.” By Saturday morning the shooter still had not been identified.

Remarrying removes these benefits as they approach their such benefits. retirement decisions. Indeed, myths abound. Here are some to consider.

Myth No 1: Claim benefits early A typical couple will receive more than $1 million in Social Security benefits over their lifetime, an amount that exceeds how much most people have saved on their own. Social Security is likely the most valuable retirement benefit you have. Waiting to start the benefits may be the best choice. You collect 100% of your benefit at your full retirement age, typically age 66 or 67, depending on your birth year. Your benefits increase by 8% per year for each year you delay collecting, up until age 70. Starting benefits as early as age 62 causes the benefit to discount for the rest of your life. Balancing starting earlier versus larger amounts by waiting is not a simple decision but is certainly one to approach thoughtfully.

Myth No. 2: You must claim benefits at retirement You start your Medicare coverage at age 65, but that is not the same as full retirement age for Social Security. Retirement does not affect your Social Security benefit decision. You retain all the rights named above. You could retire at age 65 and still delay the Social Security checks until 70. Note two important points about benefits. Your benefit increases each year you delay up to age 70, but not beyond. There is no reason to delay beyond age 70. Starting earlier than full retirement age includes a limit on other earned income. That limit is $18,960 for 2021. Earning more than this amount results in a reduction of your Social Security benefit, $1 less for every $2 above the limit. Many issues, including life expectancy, drive the Social Security decision. Family history, current health and accumulated wealth are all relevant. Give each factor some rational thought.

Myth No. 3: Marital status does not affect the decision Marital status does and should be a

Myth No. 4: You can rely on Social Security to assist with the decision

Employees of Social Security can read the rules to you but are not allowed to give advice. The difference between a good and bad Social Security claiming decision can mean a difference of $250,000 in lifetime benefits for a single person. Just changing a few assumptions about your retirement can create a difference worth thousands of dollars. Consult both the Social Security Administration website and a financial adviser who can help frame your decision by using Social Security optimization software. By the way, your uncle’s decision is not actual thoughtful advice.

Myth No. 5: You cannot change your benefits decision If you make a benefit claim decision you regret, you have up to one year to change your selection. After that one year, changes are almost impossible. Reversing your decision could lead to reimbursing the Social Security Administration. But keep in mind that a small repayment could lead to thousands of dollars in extra benefits if you decide to delay your benefits instead.

Myth No. 6: Your Social Security record is always accurate Your Social Security benefits are based on your highest 35 years of earnings. Incorrect records will affect those calculations. Check your records annually to verify accuracy. Create an online account so checking is easy. You can request to correct those records within three years, three months and 15 days from the end of the taxable year of those wages. Your decision about Social Security benefits is important. If in doubt, seek professional counsel.

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Armed Forces Bank, with a branch at Travis Air Force Base, has announced a new partnership with A Million Thanks to send thank you letters to military members serving around the world. A Million Thanks is a national organization that collects and distributes letters of support and thanks directly to active duty, reserve and veteran military men and women.

Household spending growth moderates Tribune Content Agency U.S. personal spending rose at a steady yet moderate pace in April after a stimulus-fueled binge a month earlier. The reading is consistent with sustained growth in the biggest part of the economy and partly reflects faster inflation. Purchases of goods and services increased 0.5% following an upwardly revised 4.7% jump in March that was the

biggest since June, Commerce Department figures showed Friday. The personal consumption expenditures core price gauge, which excludes food and fuel, increased 0.7%, exceeding expectations and the biggest monthly advance since October 2001. The figures indicate that even as the impact of a third round of stimulus checks wanes, consumers have the wherewithal

continue spendto ing at a solid pace and deliver more support for economic growth. The outsize March spending gain provided a robust hand-off to growth in the second quarter. Combined with the April increase, the figures help explain why economists currently forecast the economy will accelerate to a 9.4% annualized pace after a 6.4% rate in the first quarter.

In a recent Washington University study, for every 1,000 patients, there were about nine more opioid prescriptions in the group of patients who previously had Covid-19 than in the general public.

Researcher raises concern about pain treatments for ‘long Covid’ Tribune Content Agency ST. LOUIS — A Washington University study has found higher incidence of prescription opioid use among recovering Covid-19 patients, suggesting doctors are using the potent painkillers to treat the lingering effects of the virus – and leading the study’s main author to caution against such a trend. The study was released last month in the journal Nature. Its main finding showed that individuals recovering from Covid-19 had an increased risk of death over the following six months, when compared with the general population. The study involved records of more than 87,000 patients who had tested positive for Covid-19, and nearly 5 million control patients in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health care databases. But more recently, Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, an assistant professor of medicine at Washington University and senior author of the study, has been trying to alert health care providers of one particular finding: For every 1,000 patients, there were about nine more opioid prescriptions in the

group of patients who previously had Covid-19 than in the general public. “That, to us, raised alarms,” Al-Aly said. The study did not look at the conditions for which doctors prescribed the medications, and Al-Aly acknowledged that further research will be needed on that point. He noted that joint and muscle pain are among the symptoms reported by people with “long Covid,” who experience the lingering and sometimes serious effects of Covid-19 for weeks or months after the initial infection. In the Washington University study, the researchers found higher incidence of mental health conditions, along with respiratory, nervous system, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal conditions. Nine opioid prescriptions per 1,000 patients may seem like a small number, Al-Aly said, but, “given the sheer enormity of this pandemic, this is not a small number of people.” In Missouri, nearly 595,000 people have tested positive for the virus since the beginning of the pandemic, according to state data.

Nationwide, the known case count exceeds 32.8 million. Al-Aly said that the longterm effects of Covid-19 are real, and those patients’ pain should not be ignored. “We’re not saying we should not be treating or addressing pain,” Al-Aly said. “All we’re saying is that we should, to the extent possible, explore alternatives that do not have an addictive potential.” Tylenol or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, in some cases. Al-Aly said some patients also benefit from physical therapy, but not all. Al-Aly said health systems and governments need to be prepared to treat the unknown number of people in the U.S. who are suffering from long Covid. One approach has been the establishment of post-Covid clinics, such as the one the Washington University School of Medicine opened in October. “This is not just a respiratory infection that you nurse for a week, or two, or three . . . and goes away,” Al-Aly said. “Long Covid is a multifaceted disease. The burden is likely to be substantial, and health systems should be prepared.”

ZZ Tush Cheap sunglasses, furry guitars just the start Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

WINTERS — Cheap sunglasses, sharp-dressed men and furry guitars are expected Monday at Green River Brewing and Taproom as ZZ Tush performs. The band hit the stage May 14 for the first time in more than a year. “It was a great show,” said John Roche, the Dusty Hill of ZZ Tush. “We did a double encore. Either we were that good or they really missed live music.” The band did a virtual show during the pandemic hiatus. “It wasn’t the same as performing live,” Roche said. “I music was excited just doing rehearsals.” ZZ Tush ZZ Tush usually puts 1 p.m. Monday on a 90-minute (outdoor show) show. Green River “You walk Brewing and in our show Taproom, and look at 4513 Putah Creek Road, Winters our stage, it’s almost a mirror www.facebook. image of ZZ com/zztush Top’s,” he said. www.greenriver The tribute taproom.net band formed when Roche and Dan Monaghan, who handles the role of Billy Gibbons, were in the same tribute band. That band called it quits and Monaghan broached the subject of doing their own band, “A tribute to that Li’l Ol’ Band From Texas.” They sought out advice from other tribute bands and things fell into place. Tribute bands have to be more than spot-on, Roche said. “You better sell yourself,” he said. “When people go to a tribute band show, they listen with their eyes.” “Last year was going to be the best year ever,” Roche said. “Covid put the brakes on every single thing.” Why pay homage to ZZ Top? “They are very iconic because of their beards,” Roche said. “They are the only original rock band that’s been together more than 50 years with the same members.” Roche, like many others, finds irony in the notion that the only ZZ Top member who doesn’t have a beard is named Frank Beard. Monagahn and Roche don beards. beards are real “The hair,” Roche said. They are glued on and taking them off hurts, he said. Roche’s wife helps him secure the beard. A seamstress in Davis handles additions to the wardrobe.

eff Trager and Kevin Frazier are longtime concert producers and promoters. They formed Frazier Trager Presents in March 2020, which offered a series of virtual performances as many performance venues were closed due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The pair will take it to the next step in September by bringing the Dock of Bay Festival to Mare Island. The one-day music festival features Grammy-winner Fantastic Negrito, Jackie Greene, Dumpstakunk, Them Vibes and New Monsoon. “All headliners in their own right,” Trager said. “It’s a dream come true,” Frazier said. “I’ve always wanted music festivals and have been part of them.” Frazier gets to call the shots this time in the vein of Bill Graham with Frazier Trager Presents. Bringing Dock of Bay to life has involved working with a number of agencies and businesses. Fortunately, Frazier said, he and Trager had many contacts from their individual productions. Trager promoted artists such as Tina Turner and The Rolling Stones. The timing couldn’t be better, Trager said. Covid-19 shutdowns have

left people thirsting for live performances, he said. Frazier and Trager hope to pick up traffic from Napa’s BottleRock, which is earlier in September. Live streams are nice, but do not pick up the energy between the audience and the band, Frazier said. “It elevates the band and the audience,” Frazier said. “That energy helps.” Vallejo has been home to legendary musicians such as Sly of Sly and the Family Stone and H.E.R., who has won Grammys and an Academy Award. “It’s going to be an experience, a real experience, just like the Day on the Green in its own way,” Trager said. “A totally unique experience.” Trager worked with Graham on Day on the Green. Frazier managed Vallejo’s historic Empress Theatre.

Dock of Bay was Frazier’s idea, Trager said. Frazier lives on Mare Island and showed Trager what was available. “That got the wheels turning,” Frazier said. The pair have partnered with the Blue and Gold Fleet to offer ferry service from San Francisco and Sausalito. Passengers will be dropped off at the Mare Island Ferry Terminal (two blocks from the festival entrance) and then transported back after the festival concludes. Those who purchase VIP tickets will find valet parking at the venue. Local and international cuisine from licensed food truck vendors and exclusive Mare Island Brewing Co. beers will be offered. The Coal Shed studios will be open. One area will be the Vendor Village offering artwork, jewelry, antiques and goods and services from local businesses. The other will house festival merchandise, artist memorabilia, lost and found and one of the six festival bars. An after-show party at the Empress Theatre is planned, featuring Eric Martin of Mr. Big. Attendance will be capped at 2,500, out of caution due to Covid-19. The promenade could hold twice that, Frazier said. VIP tickets will represent 10% of the total. For more information, visit https:// dockofbayfest.com.

Mall gallery debuts ‘Color,’ featured artist is Ockrassa Daily Republic Staff

Robinson Kuntz/Daily Republic file (2017)

Artist Cherol Ockrassa paints a mural on the side of the Lawler House in Suisun City, Sept. 29, 2017.

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Arts Association is opening a new show, “Color.” It will also feature artist Cherol Ockrassa and her whimsical characters. Visitors will see how the artists have chosen to manipulate color in a variety of stunning artworks. The show consists of a collection of paintings, photographs and other framed pieces, as well as sculpture, in a variety of media that includes oil, watercolor, sculpture, jewelry, mixed media, acrylic, glass, paper, pencil, and color and black and white photography. “When one thinks of color, all the colors of the rainbow might come to mind,” according to a press release for the show. “But artists can actually work with color in myriad ways. While some might incorporate infinite colors into their work, others might work specifically with bright (more saturated) versions

of those colors, and others with pale (less saturated). “Some artists might choose to work within a selected color palette, choosing just cool colors (greens, blues and purples) or just warm (reds, yellows, oranges),” according to the press release. “Others make their work ‘pop’ by incorporating contrasting colors, or those that oppose each other on the color wheel (yellow vs. purple, red vs. green or orange vs. blue). Still others might choose black and white (the absence of color). A photographed landscape can often be far more dramatic when presented in this monochromatic way.” Ockrassa, the featured artist, has always been drawn to art and has used it as a way of selfexpression for most of her life. She really began to seriously look at what it would mean to put herself out there as a serious artist sometime around 2014. Ockrassa is currently working mostly with acrylic. She said would like to work bigger, but that right now she is limited by the size of canvas she

can carry in her car. Her artistic influences include Edward Hopper, Sally Storch, Andrew Wyeth and Dod Proctor. She credits Chris Zydel of Creative Juices Arts, for allowing her to paint mistakes, and teaching her that they don’t always need to be fixed. Ockrassa said in the press release that she joined the Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Arts Association to show her work and join an artist community. Joining the association was part of feeding her need to dial into what was happening in the arts in Northern California. She had known about the association for a while. When she happened upon the gallery one day at the Solano Town Center, she inquired and joined that day. To see more of Ockrassa’s work, visit https:// eyewalkerstudios.com. The galler y, inside 1350 Travis Blvd., is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. More information can be found at www. fvaa-arts.org.

Giants crush Dodgers pitchers en route to 11-6 win Tribune Content Agency A week after the Dodgers arrived at Oracle Park and sent the Giants tumbling from first to third place in the National League West, Gabe Kapler’s club is back out in front of its rivals. After losing their first four matchups against the Dodgers, the Giants have now won backto-back games in Los Angeles as they followed a dramatic, 10-inning victory on Friday with an

11-6 win on Saturday. Six Giants batters finished with at least one RBI in a blowout that pushed the Giants 12 games above .500 and moved them into sole possession of second place behind the Padres in the National League West. The 11 runs the Giants scored against the Dodgers marked their highest total at Dodger Stadium since Sept. 14, 2013 when San Francisco defeated Los Angeles, 19-3. Center fielder Mauricio Dubón led the way with

three RBIs as he drove in the first two runs of the day with a second-inning single before adding an eighth-inning sacrifice fly. Second baseman Donovan Solano, who committed back-to-back errors in the second inning, atoned for his mistakes in the third inning with a two-run home run that was launched into the left-center-field bleachers. Third baseman Evan Longoria, who crushed a two-run double in the 10th inning of Friday’s game, hit his

third home run of the week in the eighth inning against Dodgers southpaw Alex Vesia. Logan Webb turned in an excellent outing after missing his last scheduled start with a shoulder strain as the right-hander allowed only one hit in five innings against a Dodgers lineup that welcomed Cody Bellinger back from the injured list Saturday. Webb gave up a pair of runs, but one was unearned as consecutive Dodgers batters reached in

As velocity rises, it might be time for MLB pitchers to knuckle down Bill Shaikin

LOS ANGELES TIMES

LOS ANGELES — Chris Nowlin would love to teach you how to throw a knuckleball. He runs his “Knuckleball Academy” out of a baseball training facility 10 blocks south of Los Angeles International Airport. He aspires to open his own facility, and he has an investor interested, but there is a bug in the business model. “There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of demand for the knuckleball in Los Angeles,” Nowlin said. Phil Niekro and Hoyt Wilhelm rode their knuckleballs to the Hall of Fame. Charlie Hough and Tom Candiotti delighted Dodgers fans and frustrated opposing batters with knucklers. In 2004, when the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years, knuckleballer Tim Wakefield was their Game 1 starter. The knuckleball pitcher has vanished from the major leagues, an artifact like paper tickets and contact hitters. Of the 617 men to throw a pitch in the majors this season through Wednesday, according to Fangraphs, only four have thrown a knuckleball – and all four were position players. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of demand for the knuckleball anywhere, but perhaps there should be. In an era where pitchers are trained to throw harder than ever, and hitters are trained to react accordingly, there ought to be a competitive advantage for a knuckleballer, throwing a pitch that Hall of Famer Willie Stargell compared to “a butterfly with hiccups.” “I think a good knuckleballer is going to be successful in any generation,” said Orel Hershiser, the Dodgers’ broadcaster and former Cy Young Award winner. In this generation, the art of pitching has evolved from making batters mis-hit the ball to making batters miss the ball entirely. The art of hitting has evolved into big swings, with strikeouts considered more of a side effect than an actual problem. Velocity is king, a 100-mph fastball is no longer a special event, and

Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images/TNS file (2013)

even so-called “off-speed” pitches are fastballs. According to Baseball Savant, 22 pitchers this season average at least 90 mph on their change-ups, 14 on their sliders. Farhan Zaidi, president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants, noted “how alarmingly easy it is for big league hitters to square up a 100-mph fastball, if it’s not located well. Hitting is largely about rhythm and timing. A hitter’s timing has evolved to where it’s not an issue to catch up to that kind of velocity.” It stands to reason, then, that a

hitter attuned to facing pitches at 90-100 mph might struggle against a knuckleball. Wakefield threw his at 66 mph, and the knuckleball floats so unpredictably that former Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Richie Hebner once compared trying to hit one to “eating soup with a fork.” Said Zaidi: “There’s probably a little bit of zagging to be done here. People might need to start thinking more about how to disrupt a hitter’s timing and not just See Knuckle, Page B7

One-third of their season over, the A’s are on a first-place team on a 93-win pace. A penchant for close games has buoyed them but leaves little room for error. On Saturday, one defensive miscue contributed to a 4-0 loss. But offensive silence loomed larger. The A’s totaled three hits, all singles, in being shut out for the second time this season. Angels r ight-ha nder A lex Cobb subdued their lineup for seven innings, striking out eight before giving way to his bullpen. Their final 14 hitters went down in order. A’s hitters came up twice with a runner in scoring position. The Angels totaled 16 such chances. Lack of production allowed one Angels half-inning, featuring four unearned runs

scored against righthander Frankie Montas, to make the difference. Montas walked Jose Rojas to open the fifth. Kean Wong struck out. Anthony B emboom singled. With men on first and third, David Fletcher tried a squeeze bunt. Matt Olson was prepared. The A’s Gold Glove first baseman charged it and made a flip home. Rojas stopped short, caught. But catcher Aramis Garcia could not catch the flip. It glanced off his glove as Rojas turned around to score the game’s first run. “Oly makes a great play – we had a play for that, he came in and got it beautifully,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “If we execute at home, he’s out. . . . Sometimes as a catcher you take your eye off the ball a little it because you want to know where the runner is and you’re trying to make a tag and that’s

probably what happened.” Montas retired Justin Upton on a flyout but could not complete his escape. Another wild pitch moved up the runners. Both scored when Shohei Ohtani lined a single to left field. Ohtani stole second. Anthony Rendon grounded an opposite-field single to score him. “I just got caught up in the moment man, got caught up in the moment.” Montas said. “As a pitcher you need to keep your head straight. And I just kind of got a little mad.” Montas had required 51 pitches in his first four innings. He threw 33 in the fifth and faced just three more batters. He recorded six of his final seven outs by strikeout, which also upped his pitch count but reflected his stuff. He induced half his 14 swingthroughs on his splitter, which he has thrown more in recent outings.

“One walk, seven strikeouts, pitched probably better than (the result),” Melvin said. “But when you don’t score any runs it really doesn’t matter.” Cobb handcuffed the A’s lineup for 101 pitches. He deployed three types – a sinker, splitter and a knuckle curve. The A’s hit his pitches on the ground or not at all. Cobb ended six of his strikeouts on swing-throughs. Of 13 balls the A’s put in play against him, three left bats at above 90 mph, all resulting in outs. Cobb generated three double plays, the oddest coming in the fourth. Tony Kemp led off with a single and Matt Olson hit a pop-up foul behind third. Rendon ran a long way to catch it and Kemp tagged up, beating Rendon’s throw to second. Kemp popped up and took See A’s, Page B7

VACAVILLE — The Rodriguez High boys tennis team made it a clean sweep in the Monticello Empire League individual tournament with Evan Wadsworth claiming the singles championship and Deven Kothari and Denis Reilley winning the doubles title at Vacaville High, Saturday. The top-seeded Wadsworth, who dominated play all season, topped teammate Avi Kothari, 6-1, 6-0, in the finals. To get there he opened with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Vanden’s James Remiticado in the round of 16, a 6-1, 6-0 win over Vanden’s Kevin Remiticado in the quarterfinals and a 6-1, 6-4 win over Deven Kothari in the semifinals. The third-seeded Avi Kothari likewise rolled into the finals, topping Vacaville’s Brad Gray (6-0, 6-1), Armijo’s John Glen Siy (6-0, 6-0) and Vanden’s Ryan White, the No. 2 seed (6-0, 6-1). Deven Kothari and Reilley rallied to defeat Armijo’s Gabe Wahid and Nathan McNaughton, 6-7, (4), 6-3, 10-5 in their finals. Kothari and Reilley, the third seeds, opened with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Vanden’s Mike Lewis and Christian Perez before rallying past Vanden’s Maika Quidit and Jacob Alvarez, 4-6, 6-2, 10-5, and advancing past Vacaville’s Canaan Teska and Brad Gray by injury default.

Ale Ibarra added 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Kay Harris had 10 points, and Kiki Roberts nine points and 10 rebounds for the Vikings (11-1, 10-0). Coaches A llison and Jake Johnson have coached Vanden to 12 of their unbeaten league campaigns, the other coming under Ken Watkins in 1986-87 in the Superior California Athletic League. One of the oddities to come out of the season, delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, is that this year’s Vikings tied the best winning percentage in program history, their .909 equaling the same mark set by the 1986-87 squad, which went 22-2.

Wood 48, Vacaville 45: At Will C. Wood, sophomore Athena Brombacher poured in 23 points and freshman Natalie Sanchez added 10 with several key baskets down the stretch as the Wildcats (7-3) used solid pressure defense from Christina Edwards and Genesis Ernie-Hamilton to get past the Bulldogs. Wood wound up in a tie for second place with Rodriguez. Of Brombacher, Wood coach Carly Wudel said, “She does it all for us usually (always has one of the toughest defensive assignments, leads the team in rebounds and steals) but isn’t usually a huge point scorer . . . however, she really stepped up offensively last night. She was very aggressive and got to the basket consistently (she got to the free throw line 15 times). It was much needed and appreciated on a night where our shots were not really falling as a team.” Brynlie Headrick led the Bulldogs (4-6) with 20 points with Audrey Valenzuela adding 10.

SEATTLE, Wash. — In recognition of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a predominantly AAPI aircrew from Travis Air Force Base, California, flew a heritage mission May 14-16 to King County International AirportBoeing Field, Seattle, Washington. The aircrew partnered with a local fixed-based operator — an organization stationed at an airport to provide fueling, parking and other aviation logistical support — at Boeing Field to host a fly-in event May 15 for Seattle locals to tour a KC-10 Extender and interact with Airmen. A sense of pride was prevalent among the crew as they interacted with community members because it’s rare to see a team of aviators that look like them and representation is important. “When this heritage flight came to fruition, I thought back on the seven years that I’ve been in the Air Force … this is the first time this kind of opportunity came to me, and that honestly shocked me,” said Staff Sgt. Calvin Kim, 6th Air Refueling Squadron instructor boom operator. “I couldn’t remember the last time that an AAPI crew was put together to fly a mission,” Kim said. “It made me feel like we need to do this more often to show that everyone comes from different backgrounds (and) ethnicities, and that is what makes us stronger and

Stephen Lin, 9th Air Refueling Squadron KC-10 instructor pilot. “I don’t think I’ve seen any Asian pilots prior to becoming a pilot.” Events like this fly-in are the kind of exposure to the AAPI community that may inspire other members of the community to see themselves in the Air Force, Lin said. “Thinking back to my ROTC days, talking to a pilot was awesome,” he said.

For one U.S. Army soldier in attendance, the opportunity to see the KC-10 up close and to interact with the aircrew one-on-one was a meaningful experience. “I have a dream to become a pilot,” said Wongi Lee, a Washington-native stationed at nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Lee said it was important to speak to the Airmen about what their day-to-day life is like in the Air Force and what resources are available to help him fulfill his pilot aspirations. “Providing this kind of opportunity gives a lot of hope to future generations,” Lee said.

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — “Typically, we get 911 calls, but our real job starts before the 911 calls,” said Tech. Sgt. James Martin, 60th Medical Operations Squadron paramedic. Airmen from the 60th MDOS deliver fast and responsive care at David Grant USAF Medical Center – “We come in first thing in the morning and we do a full prep,” Martin said. The morning prep is crucial because an emergency call could come at a moment’s notice and time is of the essence. “We make sure all of our equipment, our ambulances . . . it’s all ready to go,” he said. “We have our jump bags, our monitors, our radios . . . we’ll get a radio call: ‘stand by district two for medical’ – we leave within three minutes of that call.” Martin works with a large department of doctors, nurses and other paramedics in the emergency room at DGMC, but it’s only a small group who responds to a call. After receiving the call, a paramedic and technician within the department will go to that call, either provide care on scene or formulate a care plan depending on a number of contingencies, Martin explained. “Over the radio on the way to the location, we get the basic information – was there a car accident or is there a fire? Will security forces be on the scene or the fire department? All of this factors into the care we give on the scene,” he said. Based on the patient’s status, they will discuss quick options for them, like coming to the ER or providing on-site care. Martin said most patients prefer going to the ER. “Once we’re back in the ambulance, that’s when we put in maybe an intravenous catheter for fluids or medication – we’re doing this while driving down the road in the ambulance,” Martin explained. This is what makes being a paramedic unique, he added. “That care continues; we ask questions, get history or give medications and try to improve their condition,” he said. “Then we’re going to head back to DGMC or depending on severity of care, we may take them downtown for a few injuries or situations.” See DGMC, Page B6

Airman creates women’s self-defense course Staff Sgt. Christian Conrad

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Amid the cacophony of dull, padded thuds and sharpsounding snaps, a voice rings out. “Be sure to really lean those elbows into those pads,” it yells. “A solid elbow to someone’s solar plexus can drop ’ em like a sack of potatoes.” As Tech. Sgt. Emanuel EspinoMata, 60th Operations Support Squadron survival, evasion, resistance and escape specialist, paces the mat from pad partners to pad partners, he stops to finetune each woman’s technique. From foot position to breathing, each soft thud soon turned into a mighty pop. “I think a lot of it comes down to confidence,” he said. “We have a lot of relative newcomers here and with repetition, they get more comfortable throwing those punches or those kicks. It’s a muscle memory thing.” Espino-Mata was asked to

The course, the brainchild of Airman 1st Class Tiffany Fishburn, 60th Air Mobility Wing religious affairs airman, was

held to teach women the fundamentals of self-protection and in Fishburn’s words, “reclaim their power.” “With there, unfortunately, being the amount of sexual assaults as there have been in the

military, I more so wanted to give women the chance to fight back,” she said. “Being a sexual assault survivor myself, I also feel there’s a certain amount of yourself that gets lost from that trauma, so it’s nice to feel that you’ve regained that control and that power that might’ve been stolen from you.” For Fishburn, the creation of the course filled a void left too-long empty. “We haven’t had anything like this at Travis for a while,” she said. “Thankfully, the base makes it easy for airmen to give their initiatives legs and get them going. All I really had to do was contact the Ravens office with the 60th SFS and secure a location for the training. After that, I contacted my own unit’s first sergeant who was kind enough to spread word around to get us a good amount of volunteers who wanted to participate.” When asked if he’d lead the training, Espino-Mata, who has See Airman, Page B6

more than 20 years of experience in martial arts from Muay Thai to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, said he jumped at the opportunity. “It doesn’t take a wild imagination to understand the benefits of learning combative fundamentals,” he said. “More than getting into specific techniques and getting real into the weeds, I wanted to help these women establish a base. That way, if they decide to push forward with more learning, they can build off of it. That meant going over techniques that can cause the most amount of reliable damage and the correct execution of those techniques.” “I hope that all these volunteers walked away from this training feeling like they can at least put some distance between themselves and, God forbid, an attacker,” he added. With the success of this initial training, Fishburn hopes to make the combatives course

Martin was recently selected to promote to the rank of master sergeant. His leadership explained that it is because of his dedication, leadership and expertise. “He’s always willing to work, stay late, be here early – I have to kick him out most of the time,” said Master Sgt. Renelyn Pagan, emergency department flight chief. “He’s our subject matter expert here, from equipment to meds to training and our vehicles.” With more than 13 years of experience in the medical career field, Martin enjoys working in emergency services the most. “I enjoy this job,” Martin said. “EMS has been my niche that I’ve fallen into since I joined and I like it because it’s an adrenaline rush. People call me on their worst day, even if I don’t think it’s their worst, to them it is their worst day . . . they are asking for some help and it’s exciting for me to be able to help.”

Melvin said Laureano is day-to-day. “Ramon, if he’s not the biggest sparkplug on our team then I don’t know who is,” Kemp said. “When Ramon’s not in the lineup you definitely can tell that there’s a presence missing. So hopefully we can get him inserted back in the lineup soon.”

Conte said the risk of Tommy John surgery, in which a torn ulnar collateral ligament is reconstructed, would be eliminated in a pure knuckleballer.

have an option for the dog? — Not Quite the Empty Nesters Dear Not Quite the Empty Nesters: In order to avoid “Rovergate,” you must act swiftly and directly. Speak with your daughter about possible dog trainers or videos and books that could help her train the dog to not have destructive behavior. Before your daughter moves in, go for walks or fun outings with your fur babies and hers. That way the dogs can hopefully establish a friendship outside the home, on neutral territory. Dear Annie: I am the mother of four adult children. I have many happy memories of all their childhoods, including birthdays, graduations and other milestones. I feel I have wonderful relationships with three of them (and

their spouses). The fourth has been challenging, to say the least. He rarely visits and seems uncomfortable and angry around me. Everything I know about his life I find out from his siblings. He has some substance abuse issues that he refuses to acknowledge – I think that’s part of what is going on. It’s certainly not where I imagined we would be at this stage of our lives. How do I proceed? He doesn’t seem open to, or capable of, letting me in. Is there hope for a relationship when it’s one-sided? Do I just ignore the behavior and hope he comes around? I love him dearly, but liking him is becoming more difficult. — Sad and Hopeless Dear Sad and Hopeless: Where there is love, there is hope. Your relationship with

your son can certainly be saved. Since your three other children have a good relationship with him, ask them whether they can help him acknowledge his substance abuse issues. He must be treated for that, first and foremost, because until then, you are not dealing with him but the substances altering his brain and personality. Ignoring his behavior won’t do him any favors. It sounds like he is hurting, and when someone is hurting, there is nothing like a family member showing they care. Maybe your other children will be able to get through to him. Even if he continues to push you away, just come back to him with love. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

for your health

Today’s birthday You might say that your birthday gift is a cosmic bulldozer for your obstacles. A lot clears out of your way before August, and with very little effort from you. All you have to do is state your intention and let your brilliance flow. Subsequently, relationships, habits and new lifestyle frameworks are among the things you build. Capricorn and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 2, 4 and 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The obstacle to happiness is a habit of not liking things and disapproving of what’s going on. There’s no point in judging the scene. No good comes out of it. If something is not for you, leave to find what is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To admire an animal is to be changed by it as you share in its spirit for a moment. Animal experiences can widen your perspective or inspire you to go the opposite direction by narrowing your focus to that which truly matters. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Daydreaming is so lucky for you, but it’s not like you can do it on command. You need a relaxed vibe and a stretch of unstructured time. A flight of fancy will contribute to your happiness now and in the future. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re going to nothing, then you’ll do it in a state of readiness. You’ll be alert and observant. In this mode, doing nothing is not inaction; rather, it just might be the best action. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Curiosity can only exist in a state of security. Where trust is lacking, there will be no questions, only the answer of defensiveness. To increase engagement, increase safety. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pain, like a hot pan, teaches you to let go, and quick. Consider that there may be no special technique to learn here, and neither is there anything to work through. All you have to do is drop it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re in a mood to make things. Set aside time to work on this. What happens next is amazing. Ideas flow; the good ones rise like cream; and you’ll merge with the richness of the creative spirit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People irritate. They don’t mean to. In fact, they can accomplish maximum irritation without effort or even conscious knowledge of their effect. Of course, the true origin of annoyance is born in the annoyed, not the annoyer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One thing that keeps you from making friends is your worry that you’ll be obligated to a more involved relationship than you want. Today’s gift is one of mutual expectations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The old beliefs just don’t fit. Consider that maybe you don’t need new beliefs to take their place. Perhaps what’s needed is actually a lack of belief – a space that creates a vacuum for bigger and better things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Though at times it’s right to dive in before you can talk yourself out of action, right now a more thoughtful approach is favored. Make plans. The thought process will bring you to a confident place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re still looking for something to take away the sting of the past. Many available coping options are modes of survival versus life enhancers. Experiment. Make no commitments. Where possible, try before you buy. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Whether she is defying gravity or letting it go, actress and vocal powerhouse Idina Menzel is the queen of iconic vocal moments. She’s continued the streak with songs from “Frozen 2” that are sung around the world in many languages. Menzel is a versatile Gemini born when Mercury, Venus and Saturn were in Taurus, the sign of the voice. Her moon is in entertaining Leo. Write Holiday Mathis at HolidayMathis.com.

Remember BEFAST,

Sudden loss of balance and coordination can be a stroke symptom.

recognize symptoms of a stroke

T

Deven Mistry

Special to the Daily Republic

hroughout the Covid-19 pandemic, emergency rooms across the United States reported a decrease in the number of people seeking care for serious medical problems including heart attacks and strokes. Many people delayed care over concerns about being exposed to the Covid-19 virus. Although more people are now recognizing it’s safe to come into hospitals for emergency care, it’s important for everyone to know the symptoms of a stroke. Seeking treatment early can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke – and even save your life. May is Stroke Awareness Month and a good time to remind everyone what a stroke is, when to get help and how to reduce the risk of having a stroke.

What is a stroke? A stroke is an injury to the brain due to the disruption in the blood flow to this vital part of our body. A stroke can be caused by a blood clot traveling within the blood vessels and creating a blockage there. A stroke also can be caused by bleeding into the brain. In either case, the brain loses its supply of oxygen and vital nutrients.

Why is it so important to get care quickly? It’s important to get care quickly because there are treatments that, if given in time, may minimize the long-term effects of a stroke. Recent advances in stroke treatments have improved survival rates and reduced the risk of severe disability. Most hospitals have stroke teams in their emergency rooms trained to evaluate and treat stroke patients quickly.

What are the symptoms of a stroke? Some of the stroke warning signs include dizziness, weakness or numbness or paralysis on one side of your body, difficulty speaking or understanding, slurred speech, blindness, dizziness or a sudden severe head-

ache with no apparent cause. A good way to remember stroke symptoms is the phrase BEFAST: n Balance: Sudden loss of balance and coordination. n Eyes: Sudden trouble seeing out of one or both eyes. n Face: Uneven smile. n Arm: Weakness, unable to raise both arms evenly. n Speech: slurred, impaired speech, difficult repeating simple words. n Time: Call 911 immediately.

Are there things that put a person at higher risk for having a stroke? Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart rhythm problems, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, being overweight, poor diet and sleep apnea are some health conditions that can put you at higher risk for stroke.

How can you prevent a stroke or reduce your risk? Leading a healthy lifestyle can help reduce your stroke risk. Eating a healthy diet. Exercising at least 30 minutes per day five days a week. Not smoking and limiting your alcohol consumption. Controlling your blood pressure, cholesterol and using your medications as prescribed by your doctor.

Final thoughts on strokes It’s important to stay healthy, get your preventive check-ups and recognize stroke symptoms. If you feel you or someone you love is having a stroke, call 911 and get to the nearest emergency room as fast as possible. It could be the difference between life and death. Dr. Deven Mistry is a neurologist with the Permanente Medical Group at Kaiser Permanente in Napa Solano, a partner of Solano Public Health.

One nation under which God? everyone should finance the killing of the babies, even though the death rate is 30 times higher. This new god has made it illegal in many states to discipline your children, instituted a curriculum for schoolchildren that leaves creation by God out of the mix, redefined God’s laws for marriage, who can work and who can’t, what business may be open and those that can’t, what churches can open and how many may attend. This emerging god demands our mandatory tithes and offerings. If our nation continues on the path we are on currently, we should expect the same results that the nation of Israel has experienced in the past, being conquered and the surviving people dispersed. I believe Jesus offers the only solution with an alternate path. If you fear the path we are on, turn to Jesus and open the door of your heart to him, and experience the new, abundant life. The Rev. Noel Reese is the pastor at Calvary Chapel Rio Vista. He can be reached at www.calvary chapelriovista.com.
