FAIRFIELD — Firefighters have been kept busy with small fires in Fairfield that crews were able to quickly contain. A brush fire was reported around 9:50 a.m. Saturday in the vicinity of the 2400 block of South Watney Way. Matt Thomas, a public information officer with the Fairfield Police Department, said no traffic needed to be shut down as a result of the fire. He said it looked as though the fire may have originated at a homeless encampment on the property. The Fire Department will investigate the fire’s origin. Firefighters quickly brought the fire under control, but crews remained for about an hour to mop up and to ensure the fire did not reignite. Crews from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection helped Fairfield firefighters contain a brush fire early

Firefighters quickly brought the brush fire in the area of the 2400 block of South Watney Way in Fairfield under control. Friday night along Interstate 680 at Marshview Road. The three-alarm fire shut down southbound lanes of the freeway, along with the northbound I-680 off-ramp at Marshview Road,

Iranian presidential candidate Ebrahim Raisi gestures during an election campaign rally in Eslamshahr, Iran, June 6.

Ultraconservative cleric Ebrahim Raisi swept to a landslide win in Iran’s presidential election, potentially setting Tehran on a more hostile course toward the West as world powers attempt to revive a nuclear deal that could see it return to global oil markets. While the 60-year-old’s ascension could complicate efforts to restart the 2015 accord to limit

the country’s atomic activity, it’s not expected to derail them because that policy is decided by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The European Union said the talks will resume Sunday. Raisi, who was elected after the lowest voter turnout in a presidential election in the Islamic Republic’s history, is seen as a favorite eventually to succeed Khamenei.

Dear Dad: Since the pandemic started, I’ve worked at home, but now my company wants me to return to the office. My office is in Oakland, which means an hour-plus commute, even if I take BART.

You’d walk in and he’d say your name. If you answered, he’d say your hearing was good. He’d ask you if you felt all right and if you said you did, he’d pass you. Then he’d measure you and weigh you. Those physicals were crazy. I hope that helps. Reach Brad Stanhope at bradstanhope@outlook.com.

Couple wants kidney transplant to be message of kindness Tribune Content Agency

organ transplantation at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, said their situation is somewhat unusual. Transplants involving a spouse or life partner are only a little over 10 percent of living donor transplants, he said. Beyond this, because the couple is interracial, their match is extra unique because ethnicity can affect tissue type. “The ability of Tonya to be blood type compatible and a suitable match for her husband, it beat the odds,” he said. Their situation, Leventhal said, might dispel some myths around organ donation. People do not need to be blood related, or the same ethnicity. “The beauty of the story is that my DNA is 70-something-percent West African, as an African American, and she’s probably German English American, she’s blond hair and blue eyes, and it’s all coming together,” Aaron said. The Rhodens want to raise public awareness that more people might be more able to donate and help strangers than they know. Many ways exist to seek organ donation or help others, including sharing a status on social media or what’s called a paired donation, a transplant swap in which a friend or loved one steps up to make a donation to their patient, and is not a recipient, but matches with another pair in the same situation. They hope people remember to sign up to be donors on their driver’s licenses; they worry about those without the insurance or support they are lucky to have. “We can’t help but think about those people every time we drive to dialysis,” Tonya said. Since Aaron’s stroke,

NAPERVILLE, Ill. — Aaron and Tonya Rhoden always have big ideas together. They eloped in Hawaii in 2016, when he proposed at sunset on a mountain in Maui, and she wanted to get married the very next day. Preparing for a kidney transplant together is another life challenge the couple is tackling together. In a surgery later this month, Tonya, 41, will give Aaron, 50, one of her kidneys. It’s a big moment for the Naperville couple, left in a holding pattern since a 2019 stroke left Aaron partially without the use of his right side and awaiting a kidney transplant. In the meantime, he does dialysis multiple times a week. They hope the surgery will help them get back to the things they love: traveling places, climbing mountains, swinging golf clubs and seeing family. They also hope it can show people that everyone is the same under our skin, that we can help each other more than we think. The couple says in a time of racial tension, with so much negative news happening in the world, they want to remind people to be kind. “We all bleed the same,” Tonya said,” all the way down to our organs.” Their journey began at 3 a.m. on July 14, 2019. Aaron had always had high blood pressure, which that morning culminated with a stroke at home. He remembers his body feeling like string taffy. Tonya rushed him to the hospital, where he was told he would either need dialysis or a new kidney. His doctor, Joseph Leventhal, interim chief of

the couple has been on pause from their busy, active regular life. “We were living our life, and this, coupled with the pandemic, we had to basically cave in to home life,” Aaron said. Since they found out he would need a transplant, and that Tonya could be a match, she has changed her habits entirely, hoping to keep her body, and his potential kidney, healthy. No more Reese’s Pieces, no more heavy foods. She lost 25 pounds. “It went from meat and potatoes to kale and bananas,” she said. She even quit her real estate job, knowing in the pandemic it would create too much exposure to the virus. “Our life has been on pause,” she said. Of his wife’s actions, Aaron said, “I’m undeservedly blessed to have her love in my life.” A previous date for the surgery had to be pushed back when doctors deemed his body not ready after lab results. So now, they’re preparing – again – for life to, hopefully, change. Some ask them if they are scared. “There’s a certain amount of serenity to it, a certain amount of acceptance to it that kind of quells any kind of fears,” Aaron said. Back on that Maui mountain, he knew they were, he said, “destined by God to be together.” “She is my living miracle here on Earth,” he said. After his surgery, they hope to plan a vacation. She is looking forward to seeing him hold a golf club, and watching a movie without him falling asleep. She said, “I’m looking forward to seeing my husband just live again.”

Solano County unemployment down to 7.2% Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Solano County’s unemployment rate for May was down slightly from April, and about half what it was at the same time last year when the Covid-19 pandemic was taking a full grip on the economy. The rate in April was 7.5%, while it was 7.2% in May, the Labor Market Division of the state Employment Development Department reported. The unemployment rate in May 2020 was 14.5%. The state rate in May was 7.5%, down from 8.1% in April. The national rate was 5.5%, down from 5.7% in April, the EDD reported. There were 134,500 local Solano County jobs reported, 500 more than were reported in April. The job growth was scattered across the industry sectors with 200 more jobs in the farm sector, taking the total number of farm jobs to 1,700. In the non-farming sectors, job growth was reported in private education and health care services, with an increase

of 700 jobs, leisure and hospitality was up 200 jobs, and 100 new jobs were added in retail, the EDD reported. The government sectors added a combined 100 jobs. Construction, however, was down 500 jobs to 10,400, the EDD reported. The civilian workforce in Solano County was reported at 199,800, down 100 from April. There were 18 5, 50 0 residents employed, up from 183,900 in April. There were only 170,00o residents employed in May 2020. The number of residents seeking unemployment benefits dropped from 15,000 in April to 14,300 in May, the EDD reported. Solano County ranked 38th in the state, with Marin County reporting the lowest unemployment rate at 4.3%. The highest rate was in Imperial County at 15.9%. Among the Bay Area counties, Solano had the highest unemployment rate. The next closest was Contra Costa County at 6.3%. Alameda County was at 6%. Napa County was at 5.5%, the EDD reported.

FAIRFIELD — The Delta variant of the coronavirus has caught the attention of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, said Friday the strain will likely become the dominant version of the novel coronavirus in the United States. Even President Joe Biden chimed in on the variant, warning that this highly transmissible variant could result in more American deaths if people who have yet to be vaccinated do not get the Covid-19 vaccine. “People getting seriously ill and being hospitalized due to Covid-19 are those who have not been fully vaccinated,” Biden said Friday. “(The Delta variant) is a variant that is more easily transmissible, potentially deadlier, and particularly dangerous for young people.” Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, said no Delta variant cases have been identified in the county, but there are cases in the Bay Area. Matyas said he understands why there is so much attention on this particular strain because of what has happened in India, and to a lesser degree, in Europe. But he is not sounding the alarm just yet. Yes, Matyas said, residents who have not been vaccinated should get their shots. It is the best line of defense for all of the coronavirus strains. But reports that the vaccine does not help against the Delta strain,

FAIRFIELD — A 22-year veteran of the Fairfield Police Department announced Friday he is running for sheriff in 2022. “Solano County needs a new sheriff for a new era, someone with the energy and passion to steer the office into a 21st-century law enforcement model, focusing on public trust and transparency, employee wellness and a strong Solano community focus,” Lt. Dan Marshall said in announcing his candidacy. “I’m prepared to be a sheriff for every Solano County resident, someone who will listen with an open mind to the diverse range of views and experiences in our county, and put forth a set of reforms that prioritizes safety while bringing the community together,” Marshall said. Sheriff Tom Ferrara has already announced his re-election bid. Marshall launched his campaign for sheriff with a three-point plan for reform and a host of early endorsements from around the county that includes Nate Strickland, president of the Fairfield Police Officers Association, and Johnicon George, president of Tri-City NAACP. The list also includes a number of elected city council and school board members, as well as law enforcement representatives and community leaders. who Marshall,

He said if the vaccine was not combatting the strain, the U.S. would be seeing many more Delta cases and far more bad outcomes. “There is some evidence of that, but not as much as some people think,” Matyas said. The real question is, why are those individuals who have been vaccinated still being infected by this particular strain? “Here in the U.S., there have been breakthrough

cases,” said Matyas, explaining that is when the virus simply overpowers the vaccine. “But there have been breakthrough cases from all the (coronavirus) strains.” The more likely explanation, though Matyas said more research is needed, is that many of those individuals who did get vaccinated but were still infected are also part of the small percentage of individuals for which the vaccine simply did not take.

Dr. Richard Marie Valeriote Aug. 5, 1929 — June 13, 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our ex traordinar y father and our hero, Dr. Richard Marie Valeriote. Dad died Sunday, June 13, 2021, at 91 years of age, of heart failure. Known as Richie growing up, then as Dick as an adult, Dad overcame enormous obstacles to accomplish more than he ever dreamed was possible. Dad was born in August of 1929, the 15th of 16 children in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. His parents, first generation Italian immigrants, fell on hard times during the Great Depression. He remembered his mother telling him, after paying for two older brothers’ education, ‘There’s nothing left for you. You’ll have to make your own way in the world.’ And he did. He gained admission to McGill University, and persuaded 46 acquaintances and strangers to loan him money for undergraduate and medical degrees at McGill. At McGill he met the love of his life, Polly Pillet. A year after meeting, they married, and began the family that would eventually comprise five children. Tuberculosis soon separated them, and dad spent a year being treated for TB in a sanitarium. Polly waited for him, and when he recovered, he went back to McGill and finished medical school. They moved their family first to Flint, Michigan, for Dad to complete his internship. Then, fleeing the cold, they moved to Fairfield, California. Dad embarked on a long and successful career as a family physician, becoming a skilled diagnostician. Before the days of specialized OB/ GYNs, he delivered hundreds of babies. Up until recently, when he was out and about in Fairfield, people would greet him and say, ‘You delivered me!’ A serendipitous event occurred when one patient paid him for his medical services with a parcel of land. That initiated Dad’s second, simultaneous career in real estate development. He eventually brought all three of his sons into the development business. Ever the Renaissance man, he loved learning new things. He subsequently added a third career to his resume when he formed the Bank of Fairfield. He remained Chairman of the Board of that bank for years until it was acquired by Bank of the West. Dad diligently paid back the college loans he had taken from friends and acquaintances. Finally, six years after med school, he paid off the last one. He also repaid the generosity

of those benefactors by emulating it. He made large contributions to McGill University and Santa Clara University, and was on the Board of Regents at Santa Clara. Despite working hard at three jobs, Dad was home every night for family dinner with Polly and his five children. He doted on Mom, who he always said was “the prettiest woman in the room.” He drove thousands of miles in the family station wagon and various RVs, exploring much of the U.S. and Canada, and creating wonderful childhood memories for his kids. Dad wrote a memoir called ‘Alice Street,’ which was published by his alma mater, McGill University. When the local Barnes and Noble threw a book-signing party for him, people were lined up out the door to have their copies of ‘Alice Street’ signed, and to express their appreciation for his kind medical care. It was the sort of tribute that usually occurs only when a person has died. We are grateful he was able to enjoy it during his lifetime, with his wife and family present. Even with all the hardships of growing up hungry and poor and the year suffering with tuberculosis, the greatest tragedy Dad had to face was at the end: watching his wife Polly suffer and die with Parkinson’s disease. Going on without her took all his strength, compounded as it was by the Covid-19 lockdown. Alone and isolated after 69 years of marriage, he depended on the love of his children and kind caregivers to assuage his loneliness. Dad’s faith in God helped him through this final challenge. Dick Valeriote is survived by his children, Catherine Valeriote (Richard Anderson), Susan Valeriote (Ken Goldman), Rick Valeriote (Melissa), Chris Valeriote (Julie) and Pat Valeriote; brother, Pacifico Valeriote; sister, Anna Bordignon; grandchildren, Mattie Goldman Magdovitz (Joe), Mike and Nick Goldman, Ariel and Lauren Kozicki, Talia and Elena Valeriote, Matthew, Jonathon (Kiana), Dominic, and Christina Valeriote; and great-granddaughter, Maya Paulette Magdovitz. Dad’s funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 7, 2021, at Holy Spirit Church, 1070 N. Texas St, Fairfield, California. A lunch reception will follow at Paradise Valley Golf Course, 3950 Paradise Valley Drive, Fairfield, California. All who knew him are welcome. Arrangements are under the care of BryanBraker Funeral Home, 707-425-4697. You may sign the guestbook at www.bryanbraker.com.

Kay’s family and friends describe her as ‘remarkable, hysterical, feisty and one of a kind.’ She was the kind of friend and relative who never forgot a birthday or other special occasion. In 2011, Kay began volunteering at Rosie the Riveter National Park in Richmond. This would be a fateful moment in her life and would lead her to having many incredible experiences as a ‘Rosie’ for nine years, most notably her trip to the White House in 2014 where she and the other Rosies were hosted by Joe Biden and Barack Obama. She was a remarkable woman who will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Catherine ‘Kay’ Stavros Morrison, beloved mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother and well-known Rosie the Riveter icon, passed away peacefully in her sleep in Fairfield, California, on Wednesday June 9, 2021. She was 97 years old. Kay was born on Nov. 22, 1923, in Chico, California, to Peter Stavros and Eva Hendrix. She had two older brothers, Louis and Donald. She was a whip smart and ambitious child, full of energy and curiosity. She met the love of her life, Raymond E. Morrison, when she was a young girl and would later marry him on Sept. 8, 1940, at age 16. They were joyfully married until the day that Ray died in 2004. They had two children, Raymond and Janet. Kay had a successful career that began during WWII at the Kaiser Shipyards in Richmond, where she was a journeyman welder. Her work during the war would give her the confidence to later build a successful career as a banker. Kay loved her work and was proud of herself for doing her job as well or better than any man could. She would retire in 1984 as a branch manager at Bank of America in Berkeley, California. Kay embraced life to the fullest. She loved animals, dancing, cooking, boating, gardening and meeting new people. Kay’s bright, bold, spirited

The California Public Utilities Commission requires the utility to allocate a certain amount of work credits each year to the cities and unincorporated counties for conversion projects, including undergrounding lines and other infrastructure.

The largest number of the new cases were reported in Vallejo with 13, which took the city’s total a bit closer to 10,000 cases at 9,948. Vacaville added 10 more cases for a count of 8,858. Fairfield was up six cases to 9,153. Suisun City (2,304) and Dixon (1,932) each added one case, while Benicia (1,015) added three cases. There were no new reports in Rio Vista (394) or in the unincorporated area of the county (103). The county reported that 53% of residents 12 or older are now fully vaccinated, representing 197,557 individuals. The total number of res-

Restaurant Resiliency Program aids local families, small eateries amid pandemic Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield-Suisun School District is teaming up with the Workforce Development Board and Solano Small Business Development Center to provide hot meals prepared by local restaurants to families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Restaurant Resiliency Program, created by Wells Fargo Bank, will fund meals from Fairfield and Vallejo restaurants for families and individuals

experiencing homelessness or financial hardship. The Anna Kyle Elementary Family Resource Center will oversee distribution. This program is expected to provide 850 meals to low-income families in Fairfield. Meals can be picked up from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. each Thursday at Anna Kyle, 1600 Kidder Ave. Distribution is scheduled to continue through October. “Now more than ever, we understand that coordination and partnerships with local businesses and

agencies are critical to ensure the needs of our community are met,” said Marbeya Ellis, Family Resource Manager for the school district, in a press release. The program will also provide a financial boost to small restaurants still recovering from the pandemic. Participating restaurants will be reimbursed $25 for each meal provided and will receive a full year of additional support and services from the California Restaurant Association Foundation.

“Any restaurant in Vallejo or Fairfield is eligible to participate in this program, but we will be giving priority to those businesses with 15 or fewer employees because we know those are the ones that have been hardest hit by the pandemic,” said Tim Murrill, director of the Solano Small Business Development Center, in the press release. For more information about the program, contact Ellis at MarbeyaE@fsusd.org.

Members of the public are invited to attend by sending an wagner email to fsrotaryclub@ gmail.com to receive the Zoom link. Wagner has been producing award-winning wines since 1972.

Bidens mourn loss of their pet dog Champ Champ, one of the Bidens’ two German shepherds, died Saturday at the first family’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, after months of his health declining, the president said. He was 13. “We love our sweet, good boy and will miss him always,” President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden said in a statement. “In our most joyful moments and in our most griefstricken days, he was there with us, sensitive to our every unspoken feeling and emotion,” they said. Once an avid ball-fetcher, Champ slowed down significantly in his final months.

Significant cooling in forecast across Solano, Bay Area region Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Relief from scorching temperatures is coming by Monday but a weekend of high-90s is still in the forecast with at least one more day with an air pollution alert. Fairfield saw a high Friday of 109 after a blistering 110 degrees Thursday. But the forecast calls for 94 Saturday, 90 Sunday and 81 by Monday. Vacaville hit 108 Friday. It will still be hot Saturday with temperatures close to triple-digits at a forecasted 99 before moving to 95 Sunday and

a cool 85 Monday. “We’ve had a high pressure system over what we call the four corners region in Arizona,” said Idamis Del Valle of the National Weather Service in Sacramento. “That system has brought recordbreaking highs across the whole West region. A strong Delta breeze back on Sunday should bring cooler temperatures.” The Bay Area Air Quality Management District, which encompasses Fairfield and Vallejo, issued Spare the Air alerts for Friday and Saturday. That makes three straight days of alerts and

the fourth of 2021, one coming over the Memorial Day weekend. The Air Quality Index forecasted numbers of 108 Friday and 104 Saturday, both registering as unhealthy for people in sensitive groups. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory issues, should limit their outdoor exertion. The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District, which covers Dixon, Vacaville and Rio Vista in the Sacramento region, issued its first Spare the Air alert of the year, covering both Friday and Saturday. The Air Quality

Index is at 129 for both days, again unhealthy for people in sensitive groups. There was a statewide flex alert from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, the second day of such an alert. The California Independent System Operator asked residents to curtail their use of electricity during those hours due to high demand on the electrical grid. Local libraries can still be used as cooling station based on their business hours, though some branches are closed Saturday. Check Solanolibrary.com for the hours of local branches with Saturday hours.

As of 5 p.m. EDT, the tropical storm was located about 95 miles west of Montgomery, Ala., and about 150 miles north of Mobile, Ala., with maximum sustained winds at 35 miles per hour. “A turn toward the east-northeast is expected tonight and Sunday,” NHC forecaster John Cangialosi said. “On the forecast track, the system should move farther inland across portions of the southeast U.S.

Tropical Storm Claudette cone at 5 p.m. EDT Saturday. through Sunday night, and over the western Atlantic Ocean on Monday.” A tropical storm watch remains in effect for a portion of the North Carolina coast from Cape

Fear to Duck, including Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds. An earlier tropical storm warning issued for the Gulf Coast areas from the Mississippi-Alabama border to the mouth of the

Mississippi River has been discontinued. Claudette will weaken and become a tropical depression later tonight, based on NHC reports. However, Claudette is forecast to become a tropical storm again when it moves across the Carolinas Sunday night or early Monday. Rainfall totals could fall between 3 to 6 inches and as high as 8 inches across portions of eastern A labama, nor thern Georgia, the Florida Panhandle, and South and North Carolina through the night, according to the latest NHC advisory. The NHC warned of flash, urban and small stream flooding as a result of the heavy rainfall and said river flooding could occur as the storm hits areas with elevated rivers.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, June 20, 2021 A7

Native Americans transporting a 5,000-pound totem pole to D.C. The Washington Post WASHINGTON — A 5,000-pound totem pole that was hand-carved by Native Americans is coming from Washington state to be on display in the nation’s capital this summer after a journey that organizers hope will raise awareness about protecting land that is sacred to tribes. The totem pole’s journey on a tractortrailer, which organizers are calling the “Red Road to D.C.,” involves a twoweek trek led by about a dozen people, many of whom are Native Americans and members of the Lummi Nation, a tribe of about 5,000 members west of Bellingham, Wash. The tribe, along with support from dozens of nonprofit groups, museums, other tribes and sponsors, has raised about $130,000 for the cross-country trip. In preparation for the journey, the group took the pole on a tour this spring along the West Coast and parts of the South. Group members will hit the road again in mid-July, arriving in the nation’s capital by July 29. The pole will be on display for two days on the Mall and outside the entrance of the National Museum of the American Indian. Native American organizers said they plan to “deliver the pole to the Biden administration in hopes that it gives a strong and important message.” Arrangements are being made to find a permanent home for it in D.C., organizers said. On their road trip to D.C., the caravan plans to stop at several spots of importance to Native Americans, including

Jason Jones/The Natural History Museum

Jewell James of the Lummi Nation works on a 25-foot totem pole he helped make as head carver for the “House of Tears” carvers. The pole is making a cross-country trip with a crew of travelers in July from Washington state to Washington, D.C., to raise awareness about Native American issues and sacred sites. Chaco Canyon National Historic Park in New Mexico, the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota and Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. Each faces threats of development tied to natural resources or pipelines. For Jewell “Praying Wolf” James, a Lummi Nation elder and the master carver of the pole, it is “a reminder of the promises that were made to the first peoples of this land and waters.” He said he hopes that “we all share to safeguard the sacred sources of life – Earth, water and sky – for generations to come.” The idea came from Phreddie Lane, a Lummi Nation citizen. He said he is “proud of how strongly Native Americans had come out to vote in swing states in the last U.S. presidential election” and he wants the new administration to “hear our message” of concern about issues important to Native Americans and, in particular, worries about sacred sites being harmed.

“It’s a very historic moment to bring it to D.C.,” Lane said. “And to have it sit among these sacred national monuments, representing Native American peoples, is special.” White House officials said Friday they are aware of the totem pole’s journey to Washington. Totem pole carving is a tradition for some tribes, mainly in British Columbia and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. They often are said to be a “spiritual being” and are considered sacred symbols of a tribe, clan or a family tradition, experts said. For the Lummi Nation, totem poles historically are carved with symbols that represent a certain “clan of a tribe” or show a family or tribe’s lineage. They can have scenes that depict an important tribal leader or might have a panel that shows a tribal battle or a story told for generations, James said. represent “ They visions, dreams and stories that are handed down and

McDonough : VA is taking steps toward offering gender-confirmation surgeries Tribune Content Agency ORLANDO, Fla. — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is taking the first step toward providing gender-confirmation surgeries through its health-care network, Secretary Denis McDonough announced at a Pride Month event in Orlando Saturday – a historic move he said is simply “the right thing to do.” Vowing to create a “safe and caring” environment for all veterans, McDonough cited the need to overcome a “dark history” of discrimination against LGBTQ military service members. The announcement marks the start of what is expected to be a two-year process to expand the VA’s capacity to provide and cover the surgeries. “This time will allow VA to develop capacity to meet the surgical needs that transgender veterans have called for and deserved for a long time, and I am proud to begin the process of delivering it,” McDonough told a cheering crowd. For Army Sgt. Lynn Brownfield, a gay woman who had to remain closeted when she served in the 1980s, the news brought tears of joy. “I attended many, many funerals of veterans who died from AIDS because they couldn’t receive care (through the VA system),” the 57-year-old said. “So now to have a VA secretary who respects us and

Totem From Page A7 shaped through each generation,” he said. Standing 25 feet tall and measuring about 43 inches wide, the totem pole that’s coming to D.C. was made from a 400-year-old Western red cedar tree. The tree was cut, carved and painted with images and symbols that include a moon, salmon and a man praying. One drawing shows an eagle “headed downward in a dive to the Earth,” representing a Lummi belief that the eagle is “bringing the spiritual power to impregnate the Mother Earth.” It contains an image of a woman with a girl kneeling near her, a scene meant to depict grandmothers across the country who are raising and teaching their granddaughters traditional Native American ways, James said. Seven tears are near the image, which James said represents seven generations of Native people throughout the world who have been “traumatized by the treat-

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough says he is vowing to create a “safe and caring” environment for all veterans and cited the need to overcome a “dark history” of discrimination against LGBTQ military service members. values the fact that we were willing to die for our country – a country that rejected us – is just so incredible. It makes me so proud.” McDonough said he chose Orlando for the announcement partly to acknowledge the work of the Orlando Vet Center, which provides a range of counseling services to veterans and their families. But he also noted the city’s June 2016 mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub, that left 49 people dead. “For generations, service members who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or related identities faced brazen discrimination or even worse – not just in our Armed Forces, but in so many aspects of their lives,” the secretary said. “That is the dark history we must overcome, at VA and in America, and it echoes to this day, in horrific incidents like the

Pulse nightclub shooting that devastated this community five years ago.” Some 80% of LGBTQ+ veterans have faced prejudice or rejection in the military, the secretary said. According to a 2018 article in the American Medical Association’s Journal of Ethics, an estimated 134,000 U.S. veterans have gender dysphoria, clinically significant distress or impairment due to feeling trapped in a body that doesn’t match their sense of who they are. Gender confirmation surgery, once considered merely cosmetic, is now widely accepted among physicians as a medically necessary intervention for selected patients. McDonough said the change was based on reports from VA clinicians that LGBTQ+ veterans often face considerable mental health harm –

ment they received from non-Indians.” Another area contains a red hand to bring attention to the hundreds of indigenous women who are murdered or go missing each year. Ja me s ’s g r oup, called the “House of Tears Carvers,” spent three months this year working on the pole. The group has created 110 totem poles over three decades that range from 3 feet to 28 feet, he said. Most are given to schools, homes for veterans or other places in Washington state. Others recognize tragedies like the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. A 13-foot totem pole at Congressional Cemetery in D.C. honors victims who were at the Pentagon that day. This summer will be the first time the group has made and moved such a large totem pole. In the past two months, it has been on a West Coast tour, on display for tribes and stopping at community events. Beka Economopoulous, director of the Natural History Museum in Washington state, which has been involved with the

totem pole project, said the West Coast travels have brought crowds of people to events who lay their hands on it and pray. “It’s going to carry the spirit of the land it visits and the power and prayers of the people along the way to the symbolic heart of the nation,” she said.

In 2013, the military began providing mental health services and prescription hormone therapy for transgender veterans, but the directive also specifically denied coverage of what was then called “sex reassignment surgery.” Gina Duncan, director of transgender equality for the statewide LGBTQ civil rights organization Equality Florida, said her agency was “thrilled to have allies at the highest level of government” and noted the contrast with recent moves by the Florida Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis to limit transgender youth participation in school sports. “In a moment of fierce state and local backlash against the transgender community, this move by the Biden administration is a reminder that elections matter,” Duncan said. “Support for transgender veterans and the lifesaving healthcare they need to live authentically is a critical component to fulfilling our nation’s promise of caring for those who’ve served.” McDonough said he did not know how much opposition to expect but that the decision is ultimately up to President Joe Biden. make it a “monument to the protection of sacred places and a way of relating to the land.”

Six people have been critically injured after being run over by a truck in Show Low, Ariz., officials confirmed Saturday.

Officer shoots truck driver who plowed through bike race Tribune Content Agency An Arizona police officer shot a truck driver on Saturday after he plowed through a group of 40 to 50 bicyclists, critically injuring at least six. The brutal crash unfolded during an event at the “Bike the Bluff” race in the city of Show Low. Police said the driver of a black Ford F-150 rammed into several bikers in front of an auto repair business, around 7:25 a.m. and then attempted to leave the scene. Following a brief chase, an officer with the Show Low Police Department shot the fleeing driver behind a hardware store, police spokeswoman Kristine

Sleighter told the Arizona Republic. The suspect, who has not been identified, remained in critical but stable condition Saturday afternoon. Police did not disclose the details of what led up to the shooting. “Our community is shocked at this incident and our hearts and prayers are with the injured and their families at this time,” Sleighter said. Six victims were taken to the hospital with injuries – four of whom were in critical condition, while two were “critical but stable,” police said. Another two or three “walk-in” victims also arrived at Summit Healthcare and were in also stable condition.

Customers using cashierless technology to checkout with an app or credit card at the first Amazon Fresh in

Washington, on opening day in Bellevue, Thursday. The store also has cashiers.

Amazon opens its largest-yet

cashierless grocery A m a z on’s lon gawaited Fresh grocery store in Bellevue, Wash., opened Thursday to crowds – and a twist. The company revealed in a surprise announcement earlier this week that the store is the company’s first full-size Fresh grocery equipped with cashierless technology, powered by a vast array of motion-aware ceiling cameras and sensors that track which items are removed from shelves and then automatically bill customers’ Amazon accounts when they leave. Nationwide, Amazon operates more than a dozen Fresh stores, where groceries have a lower price point than the more upscale Whole Foods chain acquired by Amazon in 2017. While other Fresh stores have their own share of space-age technology – including smart shopping carts that total up their contents and send customers a digital bill – the new location in Bellevue’s Factoria neighborhood is the first Fresh store to be equipped with Amazon’s cashierless checkout capabilities, which Amazon calls “just walk out” technology. (Amazon Fresh is also the name of the company’s grocery-delivery service.) “The first time you do it, you feel like you’re getting away with something,”

McDonald’s franchises in Fairfield, Vacaville seek employees Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Four McDonald’s franchises in Fairfield and Vacaville will join other outlets across Northern California in a drive to hire 2,000 employees. A drive-up application event will be held between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. June 23 at the restaurants. The local locations in Fairfield are at 3500 Nelson Road and 2212 N. Texas St., and the Vacaville sites are at 3101 Alamo Drive and 1310 E. Monte Vista Ave. If unable to participate in the drive-up events, text “apply” to 36453 or go to https://careers.mcdonalds. com/main/ to apply.

said shopper Celeste Cooper, who trekked from her home in Seattle to see the new store on its opening day. Cooper said she already uses the cashierless technology at the Amazon Go convenience store near her house. “It takes some getting used to, but now I just can’t stand the lines anywhere else.” Cooper also said she was “impressed” by the scale of the store. The 25,000-square-foot grocery store, a former Safeway, is Amazon’s largest application of its “just walk out” tech. The company has historically struggled to use the technology in formats larger than a convenience store, according to reporting from Bloomberg, because of the technical complexity of tracking a large number of shoppers across a bigger space. But rather than rely exclusively on cashierless checkout, the Factoria Fresh store has a hybrid model, according to Amazon spokesperson Rachel Hass. Customers can choose whether to “just walk out” or to check out with human cashiers – who unlike in early iterations of Amazon Go stores, do take cash. The Factoria store is Amazon’s first attempt at such a hybrid model. Amazon’s sprawling grocery lineup has undergone changes recently and expanded during the

pandemic. The company said last month it was ditching its Amazon Go Grocery branding for larger grocery stores with cashierless technology. Amazon has also been introducing its cashierless technology into progressively larger formats, according to recent media reports. Bloomberg reported in April that Amazon was installing ceiling cameras at an under-construction Connecticut grocery, and a vacant storefront in Ballard, Wash., also bears signs of a cashierless Amazon Fresh location to come. Amid concerns from grocery unions that Amazon’s cashierless technology could hurt grocery employment, the company had sought to play up its hiring push for the Factoria store and another under-construction Fresh grocery in the Seattle’s Central District. The company announced this year that it planned to hire hundreds of people to staff the new stores. The Factoria store “has hundreds of employees,” Hass said in an email. “This number is similar to our other Amazon Fresh Stores and comparable to other major grocers.” Amazon has not yet announced a date for the opening of the Central District store, and declined to say whether that store would also have cashier-

less technology. Though not much of that store’s interior is visible from the sidewalk, glimpses inside indicate that its shelves are close to fully stocked. In Washington state, in addition to its two Amazon Fresh grocery stores, Amazon also operates six Amazon Go cashierless convenience stores, 11 Whole Foods locations and a handful of other physical retail storefronts, including Amazon Books and Amazon 4-star stores.

Expos set to head out on 6-state, 16-day road trip Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — On the road again . . . Throughout its lengthy history, the Fairfield Expos American Legion baseball team has been known for playing exciting baseball – and hitting the road. Most seasons in the past included at least one long road trip, with Oregon usually on the itinerary. And so it is in 2021. After having their 2020 campaign – including

hosting the Region 8 tournament – wiped out by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Expos are off and running in this season and ready to head out on a 16-day journey starting Sunday. Of having to sit out last season, Expos manager Brad Hanson said, “It was tough, but we worked hard nonetheless and we were able to get a lot of individual work done,” adding that it’s “liberating and refreshing” to be back on the field as a team this season. And what a season

it’s been thus far for the Expos, who are 29-5 after Saturday’s 2-0 victory over the Northbay Crushers. When asked about the strengths of the team, Hanson said, “the three C’s – character, chemistry and camaraderie.” The team will certainly be tested when it hits the road on Sunday. The Expos are scheduled to play 16 games in 10 different towns in five states (they will visit but not play in Wyoming) before returning home July 5.

Their first game is Sunday against the Reno Knights – 4 1/2 hours after their scheduled 7 a.m. departure – at Reno High school. They then travel to St. Anthony, Idaho, to play Upper Valley Post 22. After a day of sightseeing at Yellowstone National Park, they next play the Gallatin Valley Outlaws in Three Forks, Montana. From Wednesday through June 27 the Expos are scheduled to play at least five games in Bozeman and Medina, Montana.

They hit the road again to play the Helena Senators in Helena, Montana, on June 28 and the Kennewick Outlaws in Kennewick, Washington, on June 29 before heading to Eugene, Oregon, for at least five games in the Papa’s Tournament. The Expos close with a game in Roseburg, Oregon, against Doc Stewarts on July 5 and will drive home after the contest. Once back in California their first games will be a doubleheader against

Yolo Post 77 at Clark Field in Woodland. Hanson’s goals for the trip are pretty basic: “Lots of experience and to strengthen the three C’s,” he said. The Expos hit the road with a gaudy .355 batting average and .476 on-base percentage, with no home runs but 74 doubles and an amazing 23 triples. Among the regulars, Kaden Wilde leads the team with a .457 average, See Expos, Page A13

With foreign-substance checks beginning Monday, there will be a lot of eyes on starters whose spin rates have climbed in recent years, and finding a good grip will be more difficult for pitchers who might be accustomed to stickier stuff. Saturday at Oracle Park, Giants starter Alex Wood appeared as if he wasn’t happy with the feel of the baseballs he was getting, throwing several back in the first inning, and he wound up surrendering six runs, four earned, in his three innings of work in the Giants’ eventual 13-6 loss to the Phillies. The Giants’ five-game winning streak came to an end as the team allowed a season-high in runs, six of them driven in by Rhys Hoskins. Having reduced ability to get a good grip, Wood said, “I would compare it to playing golf and then somebody telling you you can’t use a a grip on your golf club anymore, so there’s obviously going

to be adjustments that need to be made.” The only thing pitchers legally are allowed to use to help their grip is rosin, which is less effective than most of the substances pitchers have concocted in recent years, and Wood never appeared entirely comfortable Saturday. “I’m not going to be the person to sit here and complain,” he said, noting that a majority of pitchers have used something extra to enhance their grip. “This is our reality, and it’s something you have to deal with. Was it impactful in my outing today? No, probably not. I’m not somebody that has ever used anything, really, for grip or to enhance my vertical movement or pitch profiles. It’s not hard to look and see my profiles have stayed pretty much the same for the most part.” It’s tricky for anyone to point fingers or speculate on who’s doing what when it comes to foreign See Giants, Page A13

Forced to reach deep, A’s bullpen falters late in loss to Yankees Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — Three relievers cannot carry the A’s bullpen. A well-used trio of Yusmeiro Petit, Jake Diekman and Lou Trivino got the final 10 outs of a win Friday. Manager Bob Melvin tried to avoid asking as much Saturday. The supporting cast faltered. A late lead dissipated in a 7-5 loss at Yankee Stadium that ended Oakland’s winning streak at seven games. S t a r t e r C h r i s Bassitt worked six innings. Trivino was unavailable, leaving Petit as a candidate to close the ninth inning in a save situation. The A’s still needed to get there. With a 4-2 lead, Melvin called on Burch Smith for the seventh. Clint Frazier lined a leadoff double. Smith notched two outs but could not escape. Aaron Judge sent a curveball to center for an RBI single. Smith then walked Gary Sanchez on five pitches.

It left Melvin little choice against the right-handed heavy heart of the Yankees order. He summoned Petit to face slugger Giancarlo Stanton. “I was either going to use (Petit) at the very end or I was going to use him where I did,” Melvin said. Petit had retired Stanton in a key spot Friday. It left Stanton hitless in 11 career at-bats against the A’s fireman. Petit tried an 0-1 fastball low and away at 89.7 mph, notable velocity for him. Stanton shot it into right field, past diving first baseman Matt Olson. Judge scored. The tie did not last long. Jesús Luzardo drew the assignment of pitching the eighth. Home runs have plagued the erstwhile starter. The trend continued with his first hitter. He fired a 2-2 fastball to Gio Urshela at 98.6 mph but up in the strike zone. Urshela drove it 424 feet, over the center-field wall. Luzardo has allowed at least one See A’s, Page A13

U.S. Open heads into the final round with 3 leaders and a bunch of scary lurkers still in the hunt The Washington Post SAN DIEGO — Golf leader boards tend to teem with leaders and lurkers, and the 121st U.S. Open just spent three days getting rich in lurkers. It’s a lurker’s paradise situated on cliffs above a surfer’s paradise. It looks ripe for a peach of a Sunday. Rory McIlroy lurks. Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau lurks. Louis Oosthuizen lurked all through Saturday until he closed with an eagle to stop lurking and join the leaders, while the scandalously young Matthew Wolff and Scottie Scheffler both lurk alongside the outrageous promise of Jon Rahm, and wait, what’s this, even big-old Dustin Johnson has started to peek out from wherever he spent the early days to do some lurking. That’s not even to mention the lurking, alongside Johnson, well underway from Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele. All of those players either have won majors before or look like they’re bound to sometime in their golf-addled lives, yet for a good while Saturday, the guys leading them looked

like two dudes in a dinghy with a menacing tide just behind. Those would be Russell Henley and Mackenzie Hughes, the former 32, the latter 30, with Henley winning thrice on tour and Hughes once, and if you watched all four of those, you’re either a close relative of either or a Ph.D. in golf geekdom. Henley has played 26 previous majors and finished in the top 10 nada, and Hughes has played in eight, missed six cuts and finished in the top 47 nada. Henley prepared for here by missing two cuts out of the past four, finishing 71st and 72nd the other times, while Hughes prepped much more consistently with five straight missed cuts. So who knew? They sat up there at 5 under par, and then at the last minute came Oosthuizen, that 2010 British Open dominator and six-time major runner-up. “I think I was too dumb, really, when I won the Open to get nervous and to know what was going on,” he said after closing Saturday with the kind of 51-foot eagle putt that could turn most anyone into good Saturday night company.

Now he’ll battle his own diminished dumbness plus the Torrey Pines South Course among three guys sitting up there ahead of the rising tide lifting a bunch of boats that don’t really need much lifting: McIlroy and DeChambeau at 3 under par, the 26-year-old Rahm and the 24-year-old Scheffler and the 22-year-old Wolff at 2 under par, then Johnson and Morikawa and Schauffele at 1 under par.

They do not. On what Johnson calls “a real golf course,” the kind that yields “a lot of really good players up at the top of the leader board,” there’s that fearsome cavalry of lurkers. Of the lot, the most notable charger would be McIlroy, who won his fourth major title in Louisville in August 2014 at age 25 and got even rational people yammering about doubledigit totals up ahead. He was that compelling. There have been 25 majors played since then, and time has reached the horrifying point where Saturday marked 10 years since McIlroy’s eight-shot pulverization of the field at Congressional.

Clippers: Win over Jazz one for the ages From Page A10 wing, and that opened up more space for the Clippers to drive. No one took more advantage of it than Reggie Jackson, who challenged Gobert at the rim multiples times and won each battle. After one basket, he flexed. Somehow, he was stronger. 6) The Jazz led by 25 points when Mitchell sank an absolute bomb to bail the Jazz out of a possession to start the second half. After that made shot, the Clippers outscored Utah 81-44. 7) Somehow, someway the Clippers managed nearly identical third and fourth quarters, shooting 71.4% on 15-of-21 shooting – they went seven of 10 from 3 in the third and seven of nine in the fourth. 8) While the Clippers’ shooting was hot – like,

insanely hot, in the second half – it was their defense that stole them this game. They forced 11 Utah turnovers in the second half and turned that into 21 points. The Jazz scored only two points off four Clippers turnovers after halftime. 9) Credit to Tyronn Lue from turning away from Rajon Rondo and cutting him out of his second-half rotation. Lue hasn’t been afraid to sit proud, intense veterans when it’s been necessary (he did it with Patrick Beverley in the first round). I asked Paul George how the Clippers managed to survive a pair of 2-0 deficits in the playoffs. And George simply said, “T. Lue.” 10) The Jazz shot the ball so well in this series and somehow it wasn’t enough. Since the introduction of the 3-point line, only 12 games have been lost in the postseason by

teams making at least 19 3-point shots. Utah lost three of those 12 in the last week. 11) Beverley made all three of his 3s in the fourth quarter, just back-breaking shots against a Utah team that continued to leave him open After the game, Beverley, who knows what the Clippers have been through, was emotional. “Special,” he said, repeating the word over and over again. “(From) celebrating just to get in the playoffs, seeing a lot of people come and go, a lot of friends, and to be with an organization like this, to finish a game like this, to make history, is special, man. Because I, you know, blood, sweat and tears into this s---, injuries, friends getting traded, ups and downs of basketball – to be the last man standing and kind of write history is special,

man. Very special.” 12) After torching the Clippers in the second quarter, Jordan Clarkson didn’t score in the second half. And the Clippers slowed down Mitchell, though he clearly wasn’t close to 100%. He averaged nearly 35 points a game in the series, and hit some incredibly tough shots. Salute to him and Mike Conley, who gutted his way through a hamstring injury, for being on the court Friday. 13) A quick note on George, one of the easiest punching bags in the NBA. With Kawhi Leonard out, George stepped up huge in two of the franchise’s biggest wins to date, playing with aggression and poise, with urgency and with calm. He was a leader on both sides of the court, delivering two true superstar performances.

CGTN: China astronauts enter space station Three astronauts have entered the space station that China is developing as they begin a three-month mission there, state-backed broadcaster CGTN reported. Shenzhou-12, the Chinese rocket carrying the three astronauts, took off on Thursday. The astronauts will spend their time in the Tianhe orbiting module helping develop the project’s technology and systems, state media have said. As they began their mission, the three astronauts were unpacking supplies and setting up Wi-Fi connections and other equipment, CGTN reported on Saturday. The space station is part of China’s effort to catch up to the U.S. as a space power. — Tribune Content Agency

Brooklyn welcomes Floyd statue as city celebrates Juneteenth

vested interest in justice.” An enthusiastic crowd turned out to hear Floyd’s brother Terrence, wearing a Yankees cap and a T-shirt with his brother’s name, speak after the debut of artist Chris Carnabuci’s homage to the man killed beneath the knee of a Minnesota police officer. “I’m so grateful,” said Terrence Floyd, standing beneath his sibling’s towering likeness. “The situation that happened to my brother could have happened to anyone . . . I love you all.

We have to understand our freedoms.” The Floyd statue will stand at Flatbush Junction for several weeks before being moved to Union Square in Manhattan. The first national Juneteenth celebration marked the June 19, 1865, announcement in Galveston, Texas, that the nation’s slaves were finally freed. In Harlem, the day was observed with the 28th Annual Juneteenth Parade, with floats and marching bands passing

residents old and new on the sidewalks. The Coalition for Educational Justice, in its event at the Manhattan plaza, called for additional city funding for cultural changes going forward in city education. “There have been zero announcement about what curriculum will come out to support students learning about Juneteenth,” said activist Natasha Capers. “Our stories, our histories, our lineages are being ignored in our school system – even though 85% of our students make up the classes.” Samiyah Leandre, 17, was in a slightly more optimistic mood after joining the drumline before a crowd of about 100 people. “It’s a little step, a little progress for the Black community, because of course there’s a lot of stuff that needs to be changed for Black people,” Leandre said. “This is one step that has been taken, which is really great . . . for us to have opportunity where Juneteenth is actually a national holiday, I feel it’s kind of representing us more.”

Iran

stayed home from Friday’s election after most moderate and reformist candidates were disqualified from running. “Apathy seems to be the problem. What was the reason for apathy? You will see differences of views in Iran,” Zarif said. Raisi was sanctioned in 2019 by the Trump administration, which cited his role in a deadly crackdown a decade earlier on protesters alleging vote fraud. He secured 17.9 million votes, according to Saturday’s results, while the only moderate candidate in the race, Abdolnaser Hemmati, came third with 2.4 million ballots. Turnout was 48.8%, the lowest ever in the 42 years that Iran has held presidential elections, according to figures announced by Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli on state TV. Officials with strong security ties from the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who served before Rouhani, could be also asked to run Iran’s oil ministry. A hard-line shift there may complicate potential future relationships with European oil majors such as France’s Total SA, which abandoned a $5 billion project under the threat

of Trump’s sanctions, and pivot instead to Russian and Chinese developers and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ own engineering firms. In a statement from the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin looked ahead to “the further development of constructive bilateral cooperation in various directions, as well as to the partnership in international affairs.” He enhanced predicted regional security and stability as a result. Washington’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal sent tensions soaring in the Persian Gulf, fueling regional conflicts and prompting Tehran to abandon constraints on its nuclear program contained in the pact and to enrich uranium close to the level needed for a bomb. It’s less clear what Raisi will mean for Iran’s policies in the region, especially its troubled relationship with Sunni rival Saudi Arabia. His proximity to the Revolutionary Guards means his presidency could strengthen their footprint on the economy, though, and their influence on foreign policy decisions.

Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — A Black Brooklyn teenager, after marching in a drumline to celebrate the debut of Juneteenth as a national holiday, viewed the festivities as a move in the right direction. “It’s a good step, a good step for getting justice for black people,” said Emmanuel Georges, 15, after the celebratory Saturday morning event in Grand Army Plaza. “It was good vibes, these young black kids, young black youth doing their things.” A six-foot statue of George Floyd was unveiled to cheers in Flatbush and marchers crossed the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan’s Black Lives Matter Plaza as New Yorkers marked the first federally recognized Juneteenth. “I hope today you have planted a seed within yourself of self-reflection and how to be kind and loving,” said march organizer Valerie Walker. “If we love each other, we can do this. We need justice. All people should have a

From Page One to be a nod to continuity, judiciary chief Raisi said he would listen to and work with the administration of outgoing President Hassan Rouhani until he takes office in mid-August. “We will certainly tap the experience of the current government,” Raisi said in a state television address standing next to Rouhani as initial results came in. “I will sit down with the ministers and use their experience and views.” While Raisi has previously said he would preserve the nuclear deal that Rouhani helped seal, he’s also indicated he doesn’t want to make it Iran’s central foreign policy concern. With support from the highest levels of Iran’s religious and military establishment, Raisi’s election means that all of Iran’s state institutions and levers of power will be controlled by hardliners. This comes after eight years under moderate Rouhani, who was central to the nuclear accord that former President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from in 2018.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said “the foreign policy of Iran, which is based on consensus, will continue,” after results showed Raisi securing 62% of ballots cast with most votes counted. Rouhani remains in office until August, giving diplomats in Vienna a window to revive the deal that lifted penalties on Iran’s economy. Those deliberations are now likely to extend well into the summer, two senior Western officials familiar with the process told Bloomberg News on Thursday, while Zarif said there was “a good possibility” of an agreement before the end of Rouhani’s term. Representatives of China, France, Germany, Russia, the U.K. and Iran will meet Sunday in Vienna, the European Commission said in a statement. “Participants will continue their discussions in view of a possible return of the United States” to the nuclear deal, according to the statement. The U.S. exit from the deal empowered Iran’s hardliners, who were always critical of the agreement and won control of parliament last year. Millions of voters

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, June 20, 2021 A13

Dad: Rooted for both USC and UCLA From Page A10 Before and after his time overseas he took us to Hawaii Islanders TripleA baseball games and University of Hawaii Rainbows (before they became the Rainbow Warriors) football games. While he was away, my mom took over. It was after his return from Vietnam that I learned something interesting: my dad may have been the only person on the planet who rooted for both USC and UCLA. He stayed true to his SoCal roots. In the mid to late ’60s either the Bruins or Trojans were always in the Rose Bowl. Whichever team it was, that’s who he rooted for. So I did too. Moving to Northern California after my dad retired from the Army was a huge eye-opener.

We went to our first San Francisco Giants game on Aug. 29, 1969, a 5-0 win over the eventual World Champion New York Mets. We’d moved to Sonoma, where it was probably over 100 degrees that day, and we’d often gone to Islanders games in shorts. So my younger brother wore shorts to Candlestick Park and mercifully a couple sitting next to us lent us a blanket. A few weeks later we tried to go to an Oakland Raiders preseason game against Joe Namath and the Super Bowl Champion New York Jets at the Oakland Coliseum. When my dad asked if there were any tickets left, the guy at the booth laughed and said, “They’re playing the Jets, it’s been sold out for weeks.” I felt for my dad but

wondered, If it’s been sold out for weeks, why is the guy in the ticket booth? At home, Saturdays and Sundays were spent in front of the TV, the sports changing with the season. My dad and I were always there with my brothers and mom occasionally sitting in. When it came time for me to choose a career, the watching of sports seemed to be what I had the most experience in. Advice given to would-be writers is “Write what you know.” So I decided to write about sports and I’ve been doing it for 37 years. I probably wouldn’t have done it without my dad’s influence. My mom was a great pinch-hitter while he was away – which was often during my early years – but her interests went in other directions. Perhaps because of his

Giants: Lose big

tough upbringing and his years in the military, my dad rarely called in sick. The first football game I ever missed covering was Oct. 11, 1991, when I was visiting my dad, who was near death because of prostate cancer. That night I missed Fairfield High rolling to an easy 31-6 win over Will C. Wood. Five years later to the day, Fairfield trailed Vacaville 17-0 at the half before scoring 34 unanswered points, the bulk coming on four TD passes from Jared Biggs to Shaylon Reed. What an emotional night. I know my dad would’ve enjoyed that game. I certainly enjoyed writing about it. To my dad and dads everywhere, Happy Father’s Day!

From Page A10 substances: Ten of the 13 pitchers in Saturday’s game, from both teams, saw spin rates lower to significantly lower than their yearly average on at least half their pitch arsenals, and there are estimates 80% of pitchers have used something beyond rosin. Wood didn’t allow more than two runs in any of his first seven starts with the Giants, giving up nine in 42 innings in that span, but he’s allowed 21 earned runs in 24 innings in five starts since. In the early going, it appeared as if it might be a game-long backand-forth affair, with the teams trading leads four times until Brandon Belt’s splash blast in the third tied it 6-6. Wood threw 35 pitches in the first inning, discarding several baseballs in the process, but the only run the Phillies scored came when he hit Alec Bohm with a two-out, two-strike pitch. The Giants got a two-run shot from Mike Yastrzemski in the bottom of the inning. Then, after a two-out error by Donovan Solano, Hoskins sent a two-run drive into the back of the bleachers in left for the Phillies in the second. After LaMonte Wade Jr. doubled in two runs in the second and scored on a hit by Yastrzemski, Philadelphia responded with three more off Wood, with Bohm singling in a run and Ronald Torreyes doubling in two. Wood lobbied to

stay in after the inning, but manager Gabe Kapler didn’t go for it. “He definitely wanted to go back out and save our bullpen an inning of work,” said Kapler, who characterized Wood’s slider lately as a work in progress. “But I shared this with Woody: I didn’t think he was the best option to get the next three hitters out. . . . At that point, he just wasn’t as effective as he can be.” The Giants were quiet from Belt’s homer on, while Torreyes opened the sixth with a homer off Jarlin Garcia, and Matt Vierling followed with a pinch-hit single. With out out, Zack Littell took over, Vierling stole second and Hoskins whistled a double to the deepest part of the park. Hoskins, who is from Sacramento, added a three-run homer in the seventh off Conner Menez. The Giants celebrated Juneteenth by wearing San Francisco Sea Lions uniforms; the Sea Lions were a Negro Leagues team in 1946. The uniforms feature a bear logo, however, because the Sea Lions used jerseys purchased from the San Francisco Cubs, a defunct barnstorming team. “I think it’s a cool opportunity for us to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Sea Lions,” Kapler said. “Obviously, those are some some of the coolest uniforms that I’ve seen.” “I like the history of it,” shortstop Mauricio Dubón said. “It’s pretty neat.”

A’s: Fall to Yanks From Page A10 home run in each of his past five outings in relief. “He’s struggled here recently,” Melvin said. “He came up with a couple really good outings out of the bullpen and the last few have not been as good. Obviously, the long ball has been a problem for him. And he’s making mistakes with his fastballs and one with two strikes he didn’t get in there and it ends up being middle of the plate. So yeah, he’s going through a rough stretch right now.” After Urshela’s homer, Luzardo walked his next two batters. Both scored when Sergio Romo entered and allowed a single to DJ LeMahieu. Luzardo recorded one out before exiting. In seven appearances since returning from a hand fracture as a reliever, he has a 9.90 ERA.

“It’s all about trusting himself, knowing that it’s a rough patch,” shortstop Elvis Andrus said. “It’s a long season, still a lot of games left and he’s a guy that we’re going to rely a lot on.” The Yankees received key relief. The A’s built their lead against starter Domingo Germán. Tony Kemp and Matt Chapman hit solo ho m er s . A nd r u s and Mark Canha singled in the fifth and scored on an Olson single. That left A’s at the corners and no outs. Left-hander Nestor Cortes replaced Germán and quelled the threat, striking out Ramón Laureano and Chapman and retiring Sean Murphy on a flyball. Cortes held the A’s scoreless for three innings. Chad Green bridged the eighth. The A’s put the potential tying run on base in the ninth against Aroldis Chapman.

Nocera brings ‘Summertime’ to Solano County Fair Amy Maginnis-Honey amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — Some free studio recording time launched the career of Lulu Nocera. Her then-boyfriend worked in studio production there. The question she had to decide on the spot? Which song. “Let’s record ‘Summertime.’ It’s June,” was her response. “That decision changed my life

forever,” she said from her home in New Jersey. “Summertime Summertime” was released in late 1986 by Sleeping Bag Record. Nocera wrote it with and produced it with help from Floyd Fisher. It was remixed by Kurtis Mantronik, a Jamaican-born hip-hop and electronic-music artist, DJ, remixer and producer. Everything he touched turned to gold, Nocera said.

Mantronik was the former leader, DJ and keyboardist of the 1980s hip-hop and electro-funk group Mantronix. Nocera recorded the vocals between two doors. There was no vocal booth. She was working at a French bakery in New York City when the song came on the radio. Nocera gave her notice and hit the road. “Everyone was calling

me and telling me to quit my job,” she said. Officials at Sleeping Bag Records, which released the tune, had not met her. Executives asked her to meet them in a club. Nocera walked in to find 4,000 people waiting for her to sing. When she did, the audience sang along. “It hit me like a truck,” See Nocera, Page B2

FAIRFIELD — It’s a family affair for Soul’d Out. There’s the immediate family singer and group leader Jannel Candrice and her husband Chris Luzano, who handles the sound and bookings. Also in the mix is their teen son, who has taught himself to be a DJ. The extended family includes keyboardist Chris Duenas, drummer Rhys Palencia, vocalist Carrey Williams, guitarist Tim Landis and bass player Vince Rillera. For Candrice, it’s a second-generation family affair. Her mom is a vocalist and

choir director. There are also several other family members who are “musically inclined,” she said. Candrice took ballet lessons and sang. “When I was 6, I thought this was what you do in life,” she said. That was reinforced as Candrice was enrolled in the San Francisco Ballet School and the Conservatory of Music. “It’s been my passion forever,” she said of music. Candrice launched Soul’d Out in 2017 after working in other bands and wanting to do more of the music she prefers. See Tunes, Page B2

FAIRFIELD — Starbound Theatre was on the verge of closing last summer after a nearly 20-year run. Starbound will participate next weekend in Junior Theatre Festival Texas. The program will expand in the fall into community theater, welcoming adult performers. “The last year and a half has been the bumpiest ride ever,” said David Rodgers Jr., who has been Starbound’s director for 12 years. Starbound students, and their families, got involved in fundraising to help keep the 18-yearold program going. “We navigate it one day at a time,” Rodgers said. This marks the first time Starbound has done JTF Texas. Starbound Theatre students will perform selections from Disney’s “Frozen Jr.” for adjudication via Zoom. Young people representing 50 groups from 19 states are participating in JTF Texas. Michael James Scott (Disney’s “Aladdin on Broadway”) will perform the festival’s headlining concert. “The Junior Theater Festival’s core objective has always been to celebrate and support young people and their teachers, who make the world a better place one musical at a time,” said a press release from the festival. “This past year has taken a tremendous toll on students and educators, and our team is drawing on all our creativity and problem-solving to give young people the chance to come together with people who love this art form as much as they do.” JTF West was the last show Starbound did in 2020. Plans were underway for the production of “Frozen Jr.” “I had to break 55 students’ hearts that day,” Rodgers said of delivering the news the show would not go on. It was postponed four times. It’s slated to be performed in January 2022. “The show must go on,” Rodgers said. During quarantine, Rodgers and a group of Starbound students created their own musical online, “The Violet Letter,” which takes on the topic of bullying from a teen’s point of view. “It’s not just lunch money,” Rodgers said of today’s bullying. “No one really knows the path to address it.” Starbound is doing about half of its classes online; the other half are in person. Rehearsals will soon begin for an outdoor production of “Moana Jr.” at the end of July. “We had to have a plan,” Rodgers said of the outdoor choice. “We have to have a plan from A to Z for everything we do.” See Theatre, Page B2

Spears has ‘no idea’ if she’ll perform live again Tunes

in the spotlight this year after a high-profile documentary, FX’s “Framing Britney Spears,” stoked the #FreeBritney movement and sparked discussions about how the singer has been treated in

the public eye. And more documentaries are reportedly on the way, much to Spears’ dismay. The hearing Wednesday in Los Angeles is the next battle in the ongoing legal war over who has control over the artist’s personal affairs. She has been fighting in court for years to have her father, Jamie Spears, removed from her conservatorship. Her lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, said at a November 2020 hearing, “My client has informed me that she is afraid of her father. She will not perform again if her father is in charge of her career.” At that hearing, attorneys for the “Toxic” hit-maker and her mother, Lynne Spears, reportedly urged Jamie Spears to step down from the conservatorship, which he took over after her public breakdown in 2008. The troubled performer suddenly canceled

her 2019 Las Vegas residency (including 32 shows) at Park MGM before it began, announcing “an indefinite work hiatus,” citing the need to be with her ailing father. Soon after, she took a month off, posting on Instagram in April 2019, “We all need to take a little ‘me time.’ Fall in love with taking care of yourself, mind, body, spirit.” Several outlets reported she had checked into a mentalhealth facility. The pop star is scheduled to appear virtually at next week’s hearing after Ingham told Judge Brenda Penny in April, “The conservatee has requested that I seek from the court a status hearing at which she can address the court directly.” It will be the first time she has addressed the court since moving to have her father removed from the conservatorship.

“I was hooked,” she said. A relative helped them with violin and guitar lessons. “My brother and

I played other people’s songs,” she said. “Mom inspired me with lyrics. I was good with the melodies.” Just prior to entering her teens, Nocera’s mother enrolled them in the Conservatory of Music in Toscanini. She came to the United States at 18. Nocera will fly in Sunday and perform that evening at the Solano County Fair. Airplane travel is not among her favorite things to do. One time, flying back from a show in Puerto Rico, the sky blackened,

the plane was in a dive and all the food and beverages were flying in the area. An emergency landing was made in Bermuda. No one else was in the terminal because of the storm. “We were arriving like refugees,” she said. Nocera spent 10 years as a DJ. “It was another extension of me,” she said. She also did TV commercials. The DJ work got her a gig at a party honoring Michael Jackson’s 30th anniversary celebration in 2001. She showed up to discover she was the music

program, running all the performances. “The doors opened and the club was packed to the max within minutes,” she said, adding it was a two-story venue. In all the fanfare, she never had a chance to meet Jackson. Nocera is working as a solo artist now. Her music is inspired by the music she collects. “I have a lot of vinyl,” she said, adding she prefers that to downloading music. She also does background vocals and toured with Information Society.

Starbound Theatre was launched by Anna Eaton, who now heads up the Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club. “Theater kids are unique individuals,” Rodgers said. “Every kid wants to fit in where they can. We provide a healthy and creative outlet for kids.” Among them are “ ‘Hamilton’ nerds,” who sing songs from the show all the time. “That’s OK,” Rodgers said. Samir Hall, who will be an eighth-grader at Golden West Middle School in the fall, joined Starbound seven years ago. His mother took him to a Starbound production of “The Wizard of Oz.”

“I told my mom, ‘I want to do this,’ ” he said. He’s been in about a dozen productions and got his first lead role in “Madagascar.” The teen is looking forward to having a role in “Moana Jr.” Samir is contemplating a career in theater arts. S t a r b o u nd has enjoyed success at the Junior Theater Festival in the past. At the 2019 Junior Theater Festival West, Starbound Theatre’s Samir was awarded a Freddie G Award for Excellent Individual Performance by a male. Olivia Kildow made it to the call-back for future shoots for “how-to” choreography videos for soon-tobe-released musicals.

At the 2018 Junior Theater Festival West, Starbound Theatre educator Vivian McLaughlin won a Freddie G Award

for Excellent Achievement in the Broadway Jr. Slam. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/ StarboundTheatre.

Tribune Content Agency With only days to go before her June 23 conservatorship hearing, Britney Spears took to Instagram to respond to fans’ questions, including whether she thinks she’ll ever perform live again. Spears posted a brief video Thursday afternoon answering inquiries such as what was her favorite business trip (“A trip to Italy; Donatella Versace, she flew me there to stay in her beautiful villa; she fine and dined us, huge fashion shows, it was really, really fun”) and what is her shoe size (“size 7”). After a jump cut, she said, “The question is, ‘Am I ready to take the stage again, am I gonna take the stage again, will I ever take the stage again?’ I have no idea. I’m having fun right now. I’m in a transition in my life and I’m enjoying myself.” She smiled. “So. That’s it.”

From Page B1 she said. “We had a $1,500 advance. I thought it was the only money we would see.” She stepped off the stage crying and went backstage to meet the Sleeping Bag Records crew. When Nocera was 6 or 7, her parents enrolled her and her brother in a parochial school, away from home, for a year. There, they were exposed to music.

Theatre From Page B1 Rodgers, who teaches theater at the Oakbrook Academy of Fine Arts in Fairfield, did all those classes online. “It’s been a journey,” Rodgers said. “The most important lesson is the need for the arts. The arts provide a healthy outlet for youngsters.” He said he’s seeing more anxiety in his young performers. Starbound is partnering with the Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club and is looking to do the same with the Vacaville School District.

From Page B1 “I’m the one who knows what I like,” she said. The band can be tailored to fill requests for more intimate shows. The music is centered on everything from Stevie Wonder to Bruno Mars. Much-loved cover tunes, with a little something from Soul’d Out, are on the setlist. It’s all live. “We mess up sometimes,” Candrice said. The band did their first post-pandemic show in March at Vino Godfather Winery on Mare Island. They perform again Saturday, outdoors at the Downtown Theatre. It’s a perfect fit for the band whose members live in Vallejo and Green Valley. “Our goal is to stay local,” Candrice said. “We have fun playing the local venues for now.” Calling Soul’d Out her baby, Candrice creates the setlists. “Sometimes I feel like a project manager,” she said. “A lot of work goes into a two-hour gig.” Guests can expect everything from Chaka Khan’s “Sweet Thing” to the Bruno Mars-Anderson .Paak collaboration, “Leave the Door Open.” No P okemo n , however. Candrice is the voice behind the Season 20 theme song for Pokemon, “Under the Alolan Sun.” A longtime friendship with Ed Goldfarb, who served as Community United Methodist Church’s music minister, brought that to fruition. “It got me out of my comfort zone,” she said of having to sing in a higher pitch.

Erivo to produce, star in remake of ‘The Rose’ Tribune Content Agency

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, June 20, 2021 B3

‘Luca’ follows familiar formula but is another wonderful Pixar creation K atie Walsh

Tribune News Service

Fresh on the heels of her incandescent portrayal of Aretha Frankin, Cynthia Erivo is ready to take on another important role. The Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award winner is set to produce and lead a remake of the 1979 Bette Midler-headlined film “The Rose.” According to Variety, Erivo is producing the project her u nder newly launched Edith’s Daugherivo ter banner. The pint-sized vocal powerhouse – who scored two Oscar nominations for the Debra Martin Chase 2019 Harriet Tubman historical drama – will star as a self-destructive female rock star who “struggles to deal with the constant pressures of her career and the demands of those who surround her.” It was a role and theme song that catapulted Midler into legend status, earning her an Academy Award nomination for best leading actress. In 1980, “The Rose” song was awarded best pop vocal (female) at the 23rd Annual Grammy Awards. Erivo’s take on the tragic Bill Kerby-written drama puts “a contemporary lens on the high price of fame,” the outlet reported. Centered on fame and addiction, the original film was loosely based on the life and career of Janis Joplin, who died at the age of 27 from a heroin overdose. On Instagram, “The Color Purple” star confirmed the report and called the project a “dream come true.” “The Rose,” considered a box office success upon its theatrical release, has developed a cult following and is currently not available on any streaming services.

top me if you’ve heard this one before: a young, magical sea creature, heard of only in fairy tales and sailor’s legends, dreams of life beyond the surface, on land, and takes a leap to explore the world beyond the safety of their brightly jewel-toned underwater world. You may be thinking that this sounds a lot like “The Little Mermaid,” and indeed, Pixar’s new film, “Luca” is very much like that iconic animated Disney film. It’s like “The Little Mermaid” with boys, but Prince Eric has been replaced with a Vespa scooter. “Luca,” streaming Friday on Disney+, is another one of Pixar’s wondrous and warm creations; a fantastical tale that’s deeply rooted in human emotion and quandary.

The Solano County Sheriff’s Office is a black box that needs exposure to bright light. I ask Supervisors Monica Brown, Erin Hannigan, Mitch Mashburn, John Vasquez and Jim Spering to please shine a bright light on the Sheriff’s Office by adding an agenda item to discuss the creation of a sheriff oversight board, or the creation of an office of inspector general, to assist them with their legal requirement of supervising the conduct of the Sheriff’s Office.

hysicist Albert Einstein is widely, albeit erroneously, thought to have said that “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,” but regardless of its source, the aphorism accurately reflects California’s attitude about wildfires. Year after year, destructive fires whip through communities in the “wildland-urban interface,” often killing those who cannot or will not leave their homes and causing untold billions of dollars in property losses. The frequency and severity of wildfires appear to be increasing as our climate changes, droughts persist and Dan Walters greenery dries and becomes explosive fuel. What was once a relatively brief fire season in late summer and early fall has morphed into a year-around peril. And yet, more often than not, burned-over land soon sprouts new housing whose owners and tenants once again place themselves in harm’s way. A new study by UC Berkeley’s Center for Community Innovation, commissioned by the think tank Next 10, attributes this seemingly loony practice to misguided state and local policies that incentivize reconstruction in fire-prone areas. “Wildfire threatens the lives and homes of more than one-quarter of California’s population,” F. Noel Perry, the founder of Next 10, said in a statement that accompanied the report. “We must overhaul local and state policies and planning procedures to ensure that we are not incentivizing actions that elevate wildfire risks.” The study found that replacing current homes in high-risk areas would cost at least $610 billion and that huge number scares insurers. As they pay out huge sums to burned-out policyholders and the danger of future catastrophic losses increases, insurers either shun coverage altogether or impose steep hikes on premiums. “With climate-fueled wildfires scorching hundreds of thousands of acres, causing the loss of life and property, wildfire insurance availability has shrunk while the premiums charged have increased,” a commission appointed by Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara declared recently. Insurance is required by mortgage lenders and many property owners, unable to purchase coverage in the private market, have turned to a statewide insurance pool of last resort that has high premiums and limited coverage. The Next 10 study recommends that the wildfire risk be approached by overhauling land-use policies that lack “incentives to avoid building in fire-prone areas” and thus are “contributing to the persistent and increasing risk of significant economic and human costs associated with wildfires.” Land use in California is largely controlled by state and county governments through zoning and construction permitting. The state’s housing crisis has demonstrated that those governments are often reluctant to approve high-density housing, especially that meant for low- and moderate-income renters, within urban areas. However, as the Next 10 study points out, they tend to be more supportive of housing, especially single-family homes, in urban peripheries, which also tend to be the areas of the highest wildfire risk. The report proposes “moving homes out of the WUI (Wildlands-Urban Interface), incorporating greenbelts and wildfire buffers, increasing density in existing commercial cores, adding gentle density in the form of ‘missing middle’ housing and accessory dwelling units to areas not in the WUI, and embracing manufactured housing as an affordable-by-design approach.” Lara’s commission, meanwhile, suggests insurance premiums based on forecasts of future peril, rather than past experience, blanket policies that spread risk, rewards for making homes more resistant to damage and other steps that can mitigate not only wildfire impacts but the less obvious risk of destructive flooding. Both studies underscore a fact we ignore at our existential peril: Despite its many attributes, living in California means living with constant threat of catastrophe.

For many years Westerners have been using dairy products: cow’s milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, butter, cottage cheese and ingredients in many bakery products as a major food source. Cow’s milk and meat contain significant amounts of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and hormones such as Prolactin. Both IGF-1 and Prolactin promote growth in both breast and prostate cancer cells in laboratory cultures. Bovine Somatotropen (bST) regulates growth and lactation. Dairy farmers often give their milk cows 1Recombinant bST to increase milk production by 10%. Government support in the U.S. dairy market was about 73% of the dairy farmer’s returns in 2015, equaling about $22 billion in direct and indirect subsidies. About 1.39 billion pounds of surplus cheese is stored in refrigerated warehouses in the U.S. The Obama administration bought 11 million pounds of cheese for $20 million.

trait that shines through the years. — Nancy R. Dear Annie: My Uncle Bob was the greatest “Dad” I could have been blessed with. He and my aunt were there for me growing up. The most valuable trait he passed on to me was the ability to love unconditionally by caring about the whole person. He loved me my entire life, warts and all, and taught me to do the same for others. He never judged me and was always there to offer a listening ear and a ready hug. I like to think I am who I am as a person because of him. — Merrie N. Dear Annie: The most valuable lesson my dad instilled in me was a love of learning. At age 50, he went back to college to become a quality control engineer. He did this so he could find work close to

I have a learning disorder, but he never let me use that as an excuse to get out of college-bound classes. I ended up going to the same college where he had done his retraining.

I still think of him every day. — Love My Dad Dear Annie: The most important trait my father instilled in my sister and me was his conviction that women could do anything. He encouraged us to get a good education and study what interested us, and he never once told us that something we wanted to do wasn’t appropriate for a girl.

Today’s birthday This birthday represents a level of maturity that allows for a host of fresh options. No longer concerned with immediate victories, you settle into a groove that can’t help but trend you toward impressive goals. Style choices become habits and ultimately lifestyles that keep you vital and beautiful. Virgo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 4, 44, 20 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everyone wants to feel special, and you have a way of making that happen for people today. Hint: Since the nature of specialness is exclusivity, star treatment can’t happen where everyone sees you treat everyone the same. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You could receive a thousand compliments and the only ones that would matter would be the ones that speak to qualities you value. You’ll think of this when you carefully choose what to praise about others. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will defend an idea or person not because there is a good chance for victory but because the entity has too few defenders and you hate to leave an underdog without a champion. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Moderation, balance and modesty are the understated qualities that don’t draw attention to themselves and yet make possible a level of beauty and grace that cannot be achieved through flashier means. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What’s most needed today is patience. Patience gets overlooked among more glamorous virtues but is the secret weapon of the spiritually, emotionally and financially wealthy. Seeing things pay off in the long term will inspire you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are developing an entire catalogue of ways to interact with someone: words that mean something specific to the two of you, gestures and behaviors that reinforce your bond – all actions that celebrate love. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re good at delegating today, and there are angels around you looking for employment. They don’t need a 401(k) plan. They don’t even need wages. They just need their working orders in some semblance of prayer form. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Like the birds, you will sense the most auspicious altitude for your proverbial flight. If you sail too high, you will be faced with problems of pressure and heat and be too far up for anyone to hear your song. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The idea that rolled out in full regalia and seduced you with its glamor has now become a difficult endeavor requiring stamina, which you’ll find that you have plenty of if you keep the original vision in your mind’s eye. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). “That’s so me,” you say as you show up in a certain way. And yet, what would happen if you were to remove the notion of “me” from today’s presentation? Would it liberate you, make you uncomfortable or both? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As you chase your goal, you are like the hunter pursuing game. Neither of you has a set path. One follows the impulse “away,” and the other goes “toward,” and the rest depends on who is faster. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You feel that in some ways you are suspended between worlds and unable to enter either. At least you are not the only one. To walk the Earth while mentally ascending to unreachable realms is the human condition. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Gemini Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman has a well-balanced astrological chart rich in a variety of influences. Kidman’s karma has shown versatility and options from the start, as she was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Australian parents, giving her the option of citizenship in multiple countries. Her natal moon in fiery Sagittarius indicates passion and a love of adventuring. Write Holiday Mathis at HolidayMathis.com.

Health focus is on men this month

A survey conducted by The Cleveland Clinic finds that 40% of men go to the doctor only when they have a serious health issue.

Sally Wyatt

special to the daily republic

en, take note: June is National Men’s Health Month, your loved ones want you to take this time to reflect on how well you are taking care of yourself. Are you eating right, exercising and working to prevent disease? Are you silently battling the blues? Men get a whole month to think about these questions because, let’s face it, many are less likely to seek out health care. A survey conducted by The Cleveland Clinic confirmed this trend, finding that 40% of men go to the doctor only when they have a serious health issue, and rarely go for routine checkups. This number is far lower than women’s frequency of doctor visits. By waiting, men miss an opportunity to learn how to prevent health problems and the window for early detection and treatment of such things as cancer, heart disease and depression is closing. The Cleveland Clinic also noted that about 21% of men admit to avoiding the doctor because they’re too nervous to find out what might be

wrong. Could it be that pressure to conceal weaknesses is so strong that it leads men into a state of denial? Loved ones must stand up to remind them that ignoring medical problems will not make them go away. Here is some food for thought that may spur some men to action: Prostate cancer affects one in nine men. According to the American Cancer Society, there are about 175,000 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed each year, and prostate cancer is the most common cancer among American men. Given these statistics, it’s important to ensure that at-risk men are being screened for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer, however, grows so slowly that many cases won’t require immediate treatment and aren’t lifethreatening. But just like anything else, the earlier it is discovered, the easier it can be contained. Many men struggle with their mental health and the stigma that surrounds it, but are reluctant to talk about it. The American Psychological Association reports that 30.6% of men have suffered from depression in their lifetime. If you know someone who struggles with talking about their feelings, let

them know that keeping it bottled up could be affecting their physical and mental health. Perhaps remind them that it is always OK to share concerns with their primary care provider. Men, do you smoke? Do you consume alcohol? Do you eat lots of fruits and vegetables? If you said yes to the first two questions and no to the second two, now is the time to think about your choices. The dangers of smoking are wellknown and it’s a good time to remind our loved ones that drugs and alcohol can cause lung and heart disease and liver problems. Eating an array of colorful fruits and vegetables is appealing not only to the eye, but to the waistline. June is a good time to start a new healthy eating habit, too, as gardens and farmers markets are bursting with a wide selection of the season’s best. And please, take this month to find a way to change a habit for the better – either by eating better, drinking less, exercising more or even talking more. If you can do anything for a month, you can do it for life. Sally Wyatt is public relations coordinator for NorthBay Healthcare, a partner of Solano Public Health.

There are many reasons to live a productive life

emories. Sometimes I think my memory of all times is too good. As I have told you, I am in the process of putting together material for a book. People might say, what in the world would a 93-yearold guy write about? That would be because the picture in their minds of an old bag of bones is a guy sitting there and making things up. That’s not even close to the truth. As a reminder, I have written more than 1,500 columns for the Daily Republic. Plus another 50 opinion pieces for Patriot Post. So if I don’t do anything else, I can refer to my old thoughts, comments and opinions, and make something out of them. But that’s not what this column is about. This column is about the memories, good and bad, that have come to me while thinking about my experiences and observations in the past. Lots of personal things. For example, I have asked myself why I am alive at 93 and most of the men in my family died before they were 50. Four things can be credited for that. First, when I was about 35, I had a very responsible job as director of industrial relations for a company of 7,000 employees. A doctor worked for me. The company doctor. I developed a condition called tachycardia, which is an extremely rapid heartbeat. My doctor friend said to me, “Murray, if we don’t solve this problem, it’s going to kill you.” That got my attention. He took me off of tobacco of all kinds and alcohol of all kinds. It just happens that those were the things that killed the men in my family. After about six months we decided that the problem was job stress. I was too far into not smoking and not

Murray Bass Plan to live drinking to begin again. That’s item number one. Item two is to do what the doctor tells you to do. If he is really your doctor. I have congestive heart failure but have survived because of the medications my dear friend Dr. D has prescribed for me. I take those medications religiously. And I do not abuse my body with food that is harmful to me. The next thing is keeping my body in good tone with regular exercising. I do that religiously every day. Twenty minutes of upper body exercise with weights. Plus I walk at least half a mile every evening. The fourth and probably most important item is always having something to live for. In my case, I have two longterm projects that I calculate or take five to seven years to complete. The first is taking a solar-powered power supply for CD players and making it available to folks who do not have electricity. It can be an ideal tool to deliver survival information or faith information. I know the system works because it worked in Liberia for a reading program I helped to develop there to teach Ebola orphans how to read. It just has a greater possible value than that. The second long-term project is the book I keep writing about. If you want some ideas about things that will be reasons for you to stay alive, give me a call. There are many good things that will help other people that you can do. Reach Murray Bass at 427-0744 or mzb60@comcast.net.

She researches what dogs can teach us about how the human language develops

Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — When she began pursuing her Ph.D in cognitive science and neuroscience at the University of Maryland in 2014, Amritha Mallikarjun planned to study bilingualism in babies, inspired, in part, by her own childhood in Exton, Chester County. “I grew up speaking Tamil, a South Indian language, and English,” she said. “I grew up bilingual and always thought it was cool how babies can learn two languages at the same time.” But after a few years in the doctorate program, none of Mallikarjun’s experiments were working and she began to wonder if this was, indeed, her calling. Then, one day at a lab meeting, her class read about Chaser, a border collie from South Carolina who was able to identify more than 1,000 words, gaining her the reputation as “the smartest dog in the world.” What if, Mallikarjun thought, we ran the same experiments with dogs that we were running with babies? What could be learned? “I just wanted to do something fun to renew my love of research,” she said. “We didn’t think it would work, but then it worked! And we didn’t change anything from what we did with infants.” The study led Mallikarjun to formulate more questions and more studies: What do dogs know? What words can dogs understand? And what can they teach us about how the human language develops? “I found this is the path for me,”she said. “I just needed to add dogs.” Mallikarjun, 29, of University City, graduated from Downingtown East High School in 2010 and attended Carnegie Mellon University, where she majored in cognitive science and human-com-

Her doctoral research helped form the university’s Canine Language Perception Lab in 2017. “One really interesting thing about dogs and infants, when infants are in the 8-to-12-months range, dogs, as adults, know a similar number of words,” she said. “What’s interesting is infants go on to develop a complex linguistic system. Dogs can learn new words, but it doesn’t explode like babies.” Among the studies Mal-

likarjun conducted was one that looked at why infants aren’t great at hearing their name when there’s background noise. One school of thought was that their auditory system was still developing and their hearing hadn’t reached its full potential. Another theory was that perhaps they can’t pay attention because they’re inundated with stimuli. “With dogs, we can pull these things apart. Dogs don’t have a great attention span, but they are great at hearing, so by giving them the same scenarios

we can get a sense of the role of hearing versus the role of attention,” she said. “It seems that the reason infants aren’t that good at this is because it’s hard to pay attention when there’s all this interesting stuff going on at the same time.” When it comes to communicating with our dogs, we don’t so much share a language as an understanding, which grew as our species evolved together over time, Mallikarjun said.

For Dale Smith, a longtime author and a professor of military medicine and history at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, Desert Storm comes down to a single word. “Survival,” he said, without hesitation. Smith, said the “immediacy of care” for those wounded in war became a clear priority in the early conflicts of the 20th century, but “we fundamentally didn’t change our system of care from World War II through the Gulf War.” Medics or corpsmen were decently trained, but they may or may not have had blood on hand for wounded fighters, for example, or penicillin, or morphine. “That was true in Italy in ’44 and it was true as we launched [Operations] Desert Shield and Desert Storm in ’91,” Smith said. By the Gulf War, he explained, the military’s portable, auxiliary, or mobile surgical units were not portable, auxiliary, or mobile. “We had improved the medicine so much that it would have taken every wheeled vehicle in Saudi Arabia to move a MASH (mobile army surgical hospital),” Smith said. “They had portable CT (computerized tomography) scanners that weren’t really portable, for taking care of head injuries.” Coming out of the desert, he said, big changes were in order. Evacuation or fleet hospitals had multiple operating rooms and hundreds of beds and were enormously expensive to move. This lack of medical mobility likely delayed the kickoff of Desert Storm by 30 to 60 days, Smith estimated. “Casualty projections in the summer of 1990 were astronomical,” he said. “Thousands of people on both sides would be wounded or killed. Iraq had the fifth largest military in the world, and this coalition (of nations allied with the United States) was at the end of a mighty long string. So, it was thought it might be a peer-on-peer, even-up fight. Now, it turned out the Iraqi military was big on paper but not big on training, and morale wasn’t any good, and they mostly rolled over when confronted. Still, some of the lessons learned were stagger-

ing. But teasing them out took longer than expected, other experts agreed. “Since ground combat generated relatively few casualties, especially compared to what was anticipated, there were very few innovations in the practice of medicine as a result,” said Alan Hawk, manager of historical collections for the National Museum of Health and Medicine at the Defense Health Agency. “However, the big lesson of the Persian Gulf War was that the medical footprint was way too large and too cumbersome to keep up with a rapidly moving front.” Because of the clear logistical problems, Smith said that things were undertaken in 1991 that were “not yet doctrine” but based on small conflicts from the 1980s, in Grenada and later Panama. “In both of those [conflicts] we recognized that you could move smaller medical assets quicker,” he explained. For instance, Navy SEALs in Panama – just a year before the Gulf War – advanced highlevel Special Forces medical care and learned to better stabilize patients. New techniques for transporting and using fluids and antibiotics were developed. “Then they put [casualties] on an airplane and flew them to San Antonio, with no intermediate hospitals, and they sur-

vived,” Smith said. In the Gulf, “we didn’t have enough patients get hurt to be statistically significant, but we did recognize that that system was not going to get patients on operating tables quickly,” Smith said. “And the surgeons at those operating tables for the most part were not trauma surgeons.” One Army physician who served in the conflict who can identify with that statement is Dr. Leopoldo “Lee” Cancio, a retired colonel now serving as director of the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston in Texas. During the Gulf War, Cancio was a young Army captain, attached to the 82nd Airborne Division and only a few years out of medical school. Smith said a challenge for the military 30 years ago was how to prepare doctors for downrange conditions when they were only accustomed to stateside care facilities. These days, some of the same concerns hold, he said, particularly for Reserve and Guard physicians, nurses, and medics. “I was used to taking care of injured people, but I was used to doing so in a trauma center setting,” Cancio said. “I didn’t have much training at all in how to translate that into the field environment.” Trauma training for military and civilian

doctors alike is still “intermittent,” Cancio noted. “So that is a challenge,” he said. “What has definitely improved and totally transformed combat casualty care, pre-hospital, has been the concept of tactical combat casualty care.” Tactical casualty care was an application of the lessons learned based on data collected during the Vietnam War and analyzed with computers in the 1990s, Hawk noted. This resulted in the development of improved hemorrhage control techniques for use by EMTs and combat medics. In the Gulf, Cancio took a course called Basic Trauma Life Support, which was designed for civilian emergency medical technicians. Other pre-hospital courses and trainings did gain traction eventually, Cancio said. But it was tactical combat casualty care that “provided a set of priorities and a sequence of events for people taking care of combat casualties, whether they’re under fire, or care en route, which really served as a foundation for everything that we now teach medics and general medical officers, physician assistants, etc., for the pre-hospital environment,” Cancio said. But it was tactical combat casualty care that “provided a set of priorities and a sequence of events for people taking care of combat casualties, whether they’re under fire, or care en route, which really served as a foundation for everything that we now teach medics and general medical officers, physician assistants, etc., for the pre-hospital environment,” Cancio said.

“Knowing what to do when someone is injured and you’re being shot at is really important,” he added. The combat casualty is different from the average victim of a car wreck in the United States, Cancio said. The severity of something like losing one or both legs to an improvised explosive device is unusual stateside during peacetime. “One of the important early changes on the battlefield was in how we resuscitate patients, both pre-hospital and upon arrival at a medical unit,” he said. To that end, Cancio noted that the availability and portability of blood products and blood transfusions have evolved much in the past 30 years, especially in terms of battlefield care. In addition, much of stateside general surgery these days is minimally invasive and done through scopes, he said. On the battlefield you still must make big incisions on large body parts like the abdomen. That’s where additional trauma surgery training becomes vital for military-specific skills. Likewise, egregious burns are not common peacetime injuries, but are to be expected in combat – something on the order of 5% to 10% of casualties, Cancio said. If you combine burns with a traumatic brain injury, or an amputation, you’re talking about truly rare levels of care, and of training for the caretakers. Coming next week: Part 2, which shows that not all battlefield life-saving measures improved since the Gulf War are highly technical.

Contingency Response adds emergency capacity Tech. Sgt. Luther Mitchell Jr.

621st Contingency Response Wing Public Affairs

J OINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. — When disaster strikes, whether natural like a tornado or manufactured like a chemical attack, it’s nice to know there are people trained to respond. Good news! Air Mobility Command recently added emergency management capabilities to the 621st Contingency Response Wing. The change comes after an increased need for an EM unit within the

CRW emerged. As a result, AMC held multiple meetings, teleconferences, and exercises to understand the problem and address the condition as efficiently and effectively as possible. The solution was to create a new unit type code consisting of 12 emergency managers. A UTC is a specific capability assigned a five-digit code used in planning military operations. There are currently eight EMs assigned to the CRW: four on the East Coast at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and four on the West Coast at Travis Air Force Base. This new capability bolsters Devil Raiders’

ability to respond to humanitarian aid and disaster relief events anytime, anywhere. Emergency managers began developing, training, and teaching CRW Airmen shortly after they arrived in the summer of 2020. They tackled starting a unit from the ground up, determining equipment needs, and prioritizing them for CR missions. “The Air Force has been pushing the ‘Accelerate Change’ motto, and we have a blank slate to do exactly that,” said Senior Airman Chad Kotce, 921st Contingency Response Squadron emergency

manager. “Hopefully, emergency managers in the CR become the template of how light, lean and agile our capability can truly be.” EM Airmen have participated in exercises at the Joint Readiness Training Center, Louisiana, as well as the large-scale Exercise Turbo Distribution. Additionally, they supported Exercise Turbo Distribution 21-3 this month at Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. “Being able to join in on these exercises as one team gives us the opportunity to collaborate and

identify EM considerations specific to the CR as we refine our processes with this new UTC,” said Master Sgt. Maria Brown, 321st CRS emergency manager. “Some of us have even participated in building the scenarios and injects for the exercises to provide subject matter expertise.” Emergency managers provide chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear detection, identification, reconnaissance and decontamination capabilities for a contingency response force consisting of up to 150 personnel for 60 days.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — Air Education and Training Command’s “myLearning” system is entering phase two of its rollout, adding new features scheduled to be available to airmen and guardians early this summer. The Air Force’s 21st Century learning system is part of the service’s focus on deliberate development of the Total Force. “Our airmen and guardians, both enlisted and officers, deserve systems that enable their deliberate development,” said Chief Master Sgt. Erik Thompson, AETC command chief. “The myLearning platform

codes, locations and more. “We’re pleased with both the performance of and the force’s embrace of myLearning during the initial rollout,” said Floyd A. McKinney, AETC chief of learning services. Course owners who previously hosted their classes on EBLS will be trained and given site access to build their new courses in myLearning. User training begins this month, and course personnel can expect to have access and begin migrating their courses in June. Additionally, the AETC Learning Services Division has added features to improve the overall accessibility and functionality of myLearning. “Learning Locker is going to store learning

advances force development by meeting our personnel where they are. It’s a command priority to refine or replace the outdated systems that support our personnel, which is what we’ve done and continue to do with the myLearning platform.” The new courses will include those previously hosted on Enterprise Blended L earning Service, commonly known in the force as Blackboard. The EBLS course migration helps align the myLearning service with its original goal of a centralized learning management system for all U.S. Space Force and U.S. Air Force online learning courses, linking training for airmen and guardians across different specialty

I was drenched with sweat in the tropical heat and humidity, as were my traveling partners. Along with 11 other men, I had traveled to this area to make the first contact with an isolated hill tribe. About that time, the realization sank in. This is a big deal. Armed soldiers are stopping us along the border between two warring nations. Several soldiers stepped into our bus and looked us over, evidently not liking what they saw. Grabbing our young translator by the arm, one of the soldiers marched him away while another remained on board to guard us. The air was heavy and dead in the oppressive heat. Finally, we saw our guide returning – flanked by soldiers. As they boarded the bus our guide told us, “The army orders us to leave this area and not come back.”

God of the Bible. Stepping out in faith to cross the Red Sea, getting out of the boat to walk on water or running to the battle line to stop a bully giant, always requires risk. In Acts 4, I find it fascinating that the young church, under fierce assault from the civil authorities, did not pray for protection or safety, but for boldness. What if Moses had refused to confront Pharaoh? What if Joseph had decided to play solitaire in his prison cell rather than use his gift to interpret a dream? What about Esther braving a meeting with the king of Persia? Or Ruth, risking her reputation to sleep at the feet of a city leader? Did Daniel make a mistake with his three friends in refusing the king’s edict? Or where would the Church be today, if the apostles had obeyed the command to “never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus”? (Acts 4:18) Here is a good reminder: Bad times are good times for the church. The good news is getting better all the time as the world gets darker. When churches follow

We looked at one another as the bus turned back from the roadblock. Each of us had chosen to make this trip and search out this tribe. Everyone knew it would be risky – possibly dangerous. So what was our next step? Should we obey the soldiers’ orders or continue our quest? To the man, we all decided to stay in the area and find the hill tribe. Ed Cole, founder of Christian Men’s Network, taught me years ago that “the place of agreement is the place of power.” We had all agreed that muggy morning on the frontier to resume our search. Traveling over another mountain by a different route, we parked, grabbed our gear, hiked a few more miles and found our hill tribe. Our faith in God and agreement together resulted in eventually building an orphanage in that isolated region. Anything of eternal value requires that Christians and churches take risks. It’s in the DNA of those who follow the

Dreamstime/TNS

Anything of eternal value requires risks, says Rev. Micah Smith. Christ, they are called to be the leaders in problem-solving, even when they face opposition, antagonism, ridicule and hatred. In the movie “Forrest Gump,” a hurricane sweeps into the gulf, sending all the shrimp boat owners scurrying into harbor, seeking to escape the storm. Only one shrimp boat stays on the water: Forrest Gump’s. The storm tears into the harbor with fury, wreak-

ing havoc on all the anchored boats that sought to play it safe. The only vessel to survive and thrive was Gump’s, who kept his boat out doing what shrimp boats are made to do: catch shrimp. And boy, did he rake in a harvest. Go and do likewise. Let’s leave the generations that follow us with something more than a balanced budget, a safe place to shelter and a hollow sense of security.

I created several PowerPoint presentations to convince my parents how much I needed a pet, and none of them worked.” • Evolutionary buddies: “Humans and dogs kind of coevolved together; we almost trained each other over the course of time. In another universe, we may have mediumsized pet bears, but here we are.”

who are trained to sniff out Covid-19 and cancer. “We’re looking at how dogs are able to identify specific compounds so we can pass it on to engineers who could create a mechanical nose to detect these compounds,” she said. Mallikar jun said there’s been a boom in comparative cognition recently, which looks at other animals to see what they can tell us about ourselves, and she hopes to continue her research in both auditory and olfactory studies of dogs for many years to come. “One of my professors described my trajectory as ‘leaning really hard into turns,’ if I found something that was interesting, I just really pursued it over the first couple of road bumps, even to the point where people said this might not over time, usually after working or playing in the heat, perspiring heavily, or being dehydrated. Heat exhaustion signs and symptoms include: n Cool, moist skin with goose bumps when in the heat. n Heavy sweating. n Faintness. n Dizziness. n Fatigue. n Weak, rapid pulse. n Low blood pressure upon standing. n Muscle cramps. n Nausea. n Headache.

She doesn’t own a dog – yet – because of her long work hours and lack of a backyard, but she gets her fill on the job with her furry, fourlegged coworkers. “There’s a distinct kind of joy I have when I go to work every day,” she said. “Even when I have a million things to do, there’s just that knowledge that I can take a moment and be really present and just be there with a dog. It’s both calming and motivating.”

and rest. n Move to a cooler place. n Drink cool water or sports drinks. Contact your health care provider if your signs or symptoms worsen or if they don’t improve within one hour. If you are with someone showing signs of heat exhaustion, seek immediate medical attention if he or she becomes confused or agitated, loses consciousness, or is unable to drink. You will need immediate cooling and urgent medical attention if your core body temperature (measured by a rectal thermometer) reaches 104 Fahrenheit or higher.
