of areas in Suisun City that could be impacted with flooding in the future, Saturday.

Walk looks at prospect of flooding in Suisun City

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — The third and final Flood Walk, sponsored

by Sustainable Solano, took 12 participants on a journey through the marshlands, by the docks and through some residential areas in Suisun City.

All are spots that could be affected by flooding.

“It seems weird talking about flooding when we are in a drought,” said Sustainable Solano program manager Jonathan Erwin.

Sustainable Solano is a grassroots movement to unite people in working toward a future that is ecologically regenerative, and economically and socially supportive of local communities.

In a brief overview of Suisun City’s history, Erwin described how the city has flooded more than once downtown and inland, so it was no surprise to longtime residents that this is a continued issue.

“The rising sea levels are going to impact Suisun City,” Erwin said.

“It is just a matter of time.”

“Scientists talk about climate change but when you can’t see it, it is difficult to imagine,” said longtime Solano County resident Steve Chung.

He and his wife Georgia were out for the walk to get a better idea of how water is related to climate change and would affect local communities.

“We are seeing fires that are stronger than before,” Georgia Chung said.

Suisun City and Fairfield would be affected differently at different total water levels.

Sustainable Solano, along with the city and the San Fransisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, plan to develop a Flood Resilience Action Plan over the next year. The plan will look at the impact of flooding in Suisun City and Fairfield.

Several types of events that could affect the water levels are sea levels rising from ice melting; tidal flooding, which happens at King tides; and storm surges.

Surges happen when there is a buildup of water during a storm that whips up high winds and us accompanied by low See Walk, Page A12

VW Car Show serves as first step to Fiesta Days’ main event Susan Hiland

VACAVILLE — It was with a great deal of excitement that Kerri Schillinger, co-president of the North Bay Air Cooled VW Club, got ready to give out awards Saturday for the VW Fiesta Days Car Show.

“This is the kickoff for Fiesta Days,” she said.

The Solano VW Car Club teamed up with North Bay Air Cooled VW Club for the first car show featuring VWs in the Fiesta Days lineup of events. Solano VW Car Club was formed in 2013.

There were 130 cars on display, ranging from the very old to much newer.

FAIRFIELD — A surge of Covid-19 cases across Solano County continued Friday with the daily average of new cases doubling over the course of two days and the number of active cases jumping by more than a third.

County health officials reported 169 new cases Friday – an average of 84.5 per day – for a pandemic total of 34,630.

That’s twice the two-day case increase of 84 cases reported Wednesday.

Biden pledges appeal of DACA ruling Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said the U.S. will appeal a federal judge’s ruling that the DACA program protecting hundreds of thousands of “Dreamers” who came to the country as children was implemented unconstitutionally, and he renewed his call for Congress to agree on a permanent solution.

“Yesterday’s Federal court ruling is deeply disappointing,” Biden said in a statement on Saturday. “The Department of Justice intends to appeal this decision in order to preserve and

When Monica Fish needed lodgings for a family reunion in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., this summer, she chose an unconventional rental option.

Instead of booking a hotel, she clicked on Koala, a site where timeshare owners list available inventory. She found a $1,350 rate for a week in a two-bedroom condo at Marriott BeachPlace Towers.

“That’s about 65 percent less than a hotel,” says Fish, a freelance editor from Glen Rock, N.J. “Plus, I get a living room, a full kitchen, I have a pool and I’m on the beach.”

No wonder more people like Fish are trying to find creative rental options.

Experts have already attached many superlatives to this summer, “busiest” to from “most expensive.” Fortunately, there have probably never been more choices.

Home rentals are hot this summer. Such traditional home rental platforms as Airbnb and Vrbo are sold out in popular markets.

You can search all of the popular sites through a metasearch site such as VacationRenter.com. But there are other choices.

Subscription-based accommodations may be the biggest lodging trend of this summer.

Already, companies such as Landing offer a flexible-living option for long-term rentals.

Landing charges a $199 annual membership. With a domestic network of thousands of apartments, it can add lodging options during an otherwise sold-out summer.

Another relatively unknown accommodation option that is starting to gain traction this summer: home swapping. Home swapping officials say the vacation rental shortage is making more summer travelers turn to sites such as Love Home Swap, which offers “unlimited” stays for

$11 a month in membership fees. Of course, you have to have something worth swapping.

For ground transportation, rental options have expanded, too. There are peer-to-peer car-sharing options on the car rental front such as Turo, Getaround and newcomer Avail. Avail, which is already available in 14 U.S. cities, automatically includes insurance coverage with its vehicles.

RVs are in high demand, too.

Maddi Bourgerie, a spokeswoman for RVshare, says demand has soared, as has available inventory.

“Many owners have realized that their existing RV can become a source of income with the potential of making more than $60,000 per year,” she says. “So we’ve noticed an increase in vehicle options to choose from.”

Outdoorsy, another site for peer-to-peer rental of RVs and campers, has also seen an uptick in business this summer. The top market for growth is Texas, where rentals are up 190 percent so far this year. It is followed

by New Mexico, Montana and Arizona.

“The rental market has exploded for people to rent an RV from another owner while traveling,” says Brian Demo, an RV expert for the advice site JustAnswer. One new twist: Many rentals come set up at a campground, so there is no need to mess with hookups or maneuvering the large vehicles.

“It’s a huge advantage to the family that wants

to try out an RV for a weekend but can’t tow one or drive a big rig,” he adds.

Even boats are a part of the rental trend. If you need to head out on the water, GetMyBoat can help. It is a rental marketplace that connects renters with boat owners, charter operators and professional captains.

Val Streif, a marketing manager at GetMyBoat, says the company has experienced rapid growth in 2021 and is on pace to send more than a million people boating this year.

“Boating has stood out as a great social distancing activity during the pandemic,” Streif says. “It gives people the option to be outside and enjoy the fresh air, in an environment that is cleaned and sanitized.”

Perhaps it’s the lack of cruising that has pushed more people out on the water. But insiders say the rental trend is real.

“Before the pandemic, boat rentals were oneoffs,” says Joe Ialacci, founder of the luxury boat rental company Yacht Hampton. “Now, people are planning ahead and booking out their whole summer on a yacht.”

But how do you rent a house, car, boat or RV? Now more than ever, make sure you start by researching your rental carefully.

“Always look at the reviews,” says Erin Thomas, an Airbnb host from Charleston, S.C. “See what others are saying, and if they mention drawbacks, consider how you feel about them. Deal-

breakers for some are not dealbreakers for others.”

Also, do not procrastinate. “The best rental homes in prime locations will book quickly,” says Jeremy Gall, CEO of Breezeway, a property operations and service platform for short-term rentals. For example, many popular destinations such as Cape Cod, the Carolinas and the California coast expect high occupancy rates this year. Guests can get the best deals by booking in advance.

And, most important, read - don’t skim - your rental contract and insurance policy. If you don’t read the contract, you could inadvertently violate its terms and incur penalties. Similarly, if you don’t read your policy, you could discover too late that you don’t have the coverage you need. Sherry Sutton, vice president of marketing at Travel Insured International, has reviewed many of these insurance policies and says renters may find the coverage lacking.

“For example, they don’t offer coverage for the inconvenience caused by property construction that prevents you from accessing amenities during your stay,” she says.

So whether you need a car, boat or home, you may have lots of new options this summer. But remember, the rules are pretty much the same as they always were: Don’t delay, know what you’re getting, and read the fine print.

49ers’ Verrett brings fun to hometown Fairfield church Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Jason Verrett is used to being “on an island” alone at cornerback with the San Francisco 49ers, but on Friday night he was the center of attention in hosting FEEVA Summer Nights at Mount Calvary Baptist Church.

Verrett, with the assistance of a host of volunteers, offered some needed playtime for children of the church and the nearby community, most of whom have been cooped up for several months by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The event was a sellout with more than 100 youth climbing on large inflatable games, enjoying street tacos and candy, and later enjoying an outdoor viewing of the new movie, “Space Jam: A New Legacy.”

“With all that we’ve been through, it’s a good chance for everybody to come here and play, and enjoy themselves,” Verrett said. “This is where I came from and made it out. It’s good to give back.”

Alonzo Brown of Fairfield was thrilled to be at the event. He has five biological children and nine adopted ones. This was a chance to take them outside, feed them and have a good time in a fun atmosphere.

“The wind is blowing a little bit and it feels like a breath of fresh air,” Brown said. “They have food and multiple bounce houses of all kinds. This is a blessing. They can’t imagine how they are lighting up this community.”

Verrett’s mom Cynthia

stayed busy, serving up bags of treats for the kids and helping to keep all the volunteers organized.

As a longtime member of Mount Calvary, she appreciates the opportunity the family and her son have of giving back.

“Absolutely, it means a lot to us and the community,” she said. “It’s our priority to give back to the community. I love seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces.”

Latisha Cox of Mount Calvary said the children were thrilled to have the bounce houses, a live DJ, food, drinks. She said Covid-19 had shut down many activities at the church and the few they had were mostly done as drive-thru experiences.

“Jason continues to give back to this community, with things like backpacks

FAIRFIELD — Staff at schools in Fairfield and Suisun City are setting the stage for children and teens at all grade levels to return to in-person classes next month.

Sheila McCabe, assistant superintendent of Educational Services, reported updates Thursday to Fairfield-Suisun School District trustees about the various state and federal requirements to make it happen.

Assembly Bill 104 was signed mccabe into law July 1 as emergency legislation, which means it goes into effect immediately, she reported.

Three main changes to the current law in helping meditate the impact of distance learning include student retention, high school grades and graduation requirements.

For student retention, the bill requires Local Educational Agencies, upon receiving a request for retention from a parent of an eligible pupil or student in transitional kindergarten through to 11th grade, to offer the parent consultation concerning whether the child or teen should be retained.

The eligibility for students is that they

received deficient grades in at least half of their classes. There is also a prescribed timeline that the schools and district must follow in meeting with the family and making a decision concerning retention, and students who are not retained must be offered specified supplemental instruction and support.

The bill requires local educational agencies upon request of students, a “pass” or “no pass” instead of a letter grade for courses taken in the 2020-2021 academic year and requires that certain institutions of higher education accept a “pass” credit for purposes of admissions.

Parents have 15 days to request a pass/no pass for their children and the requested grade changes must be implemented.

Finally, the bill exempts from local graduation requirements all students who were in their third or fourth year of high school in the 2020-2021 school year and who were not on track to graduate in the 2020-2021 or 2021-2022 school years, and requires local educational agencies to provide those students the opportunity to complete the coursework

Obituaries Donna Angus

May 31, 1938 — July 10, 2021

Donna Patricia Angus, 83, of Fairfield, died July 10, 2021, in Rancho Solano, Fairfield, California.

She was born May 31, 1938, in Caribou, Maine.

Around 1944 she moved to Fairfield, California, with her parents, Joe and Marion Damboise, as well as her older sister, Gloria.

She would later have a second sister, Roxanne.

Donna would continue to primarily reside in Fairfield her entire life.

Growing up, she was very close to her father Joe. He was the town sheriff and always encouraged Donna to be involved around the community, including activities sponsored by the local Boys club, such as gymnastics and water skiing.

Donna was educated in Fairfield-Suisun public schools and began attending Armijo High School in 1953. She would become a member of numerous clubs and team sports. She was an excellent student and graduated in 1957. That summer she would win the Miss Solano County pageant and go on to win runner-up in the Maid of California contest at the California State Fair.

Not long after graduating she would pursue a secondary education in computer programming and moved to San Francisco. It was around this time that she would meet her first husband, Bob Oman. Together they moved to Mountain View, California, and began raising a family. Donna’s first marriage resulted in three children: Michael, Kelly and Heidi. Donna was always very passionate about her children and enjoyed being a stay-athome mother.

In the early 1970s, following her first marriage, she would move back to Fairfield with her children and began pursuing what would become her true passion, real estate.

Raising her kids while pursuing a competitive career in real estate was no small

task, but Donna had extraordinary resolve and dedication, developing a career she knew would provide a comfortable life for her family.

She became very successful as a real estate agent and broker in Fairfield. In 1976, she would meet her second husband, Glen Angus. They both shared a common interest in real estate acquisition and development, together founding a successful real estate company. In 1982, her second marriage resulted in the birth of her youngest son, Joey.

Shortly thereafter, she retired and focused on raising her youngest child full time while managing her real estate investments for the rest of her life.

She was a wonderful mother, amazing grandmother, beloved sister and loyal friend who was always there for her children and kind to those around her. She enjoyed spending her free time watching movies, reading James Patterson novels, playing Bingo, cooking, going to sporting events, but most of all, she enjoyed being with her family.

In her later years, Donna found her greatest joys in her four grandchildren: Reid, Tommy, Nicky and Brooklyn.

She is survived by her two sisters, Gloria Koch and Roxanne Damboise, as well as her four loving children, her oldest son, Michael Oman, two daughters, Kelly Dagul and Heidi Hemer, and youngest son, Joe Angus.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Marion.

Donna would always light up the room with her smile and illuminated the world with her heart. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.

A prayer service and celebration of Donna’s life will be held at 2 p.m.

Tuesday, July 20, 2021, at Bryan-Braker Funeral Home, 1850 W Texas St., Fairfield, California.

Irma Hanvelt

Jan. 5, 1924 — July 9, 2021

Irma Olga Hanvelt died peacefully on July 9, 2021, surrounded by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. She was 97 years old. Considered by many who knew her to be the nicest person they ever met, Irma was blessed with many friends and a large family who loved her deeply.

A native of Austria, and speaking almost no English, she came to the U.S. with her husband, a USAF Airman, and three children in 1953.

Her husband was stationed at Travis AFB and they settled in Suisun City, where her children were raised and educated.

She and her husband later moved to Fairfield where she spent most of the rest of her life. In her later years she divided her time with daughters in Fairfield and Pine Grove.

Irma was a devoted Jehovah’s Witness and gave generously of her

time and effort to her church and especially to her children and grandchildren.

Even in her later years, when suffering from painful and debilitating ailments, she devoted much of her time to comforting friends and coreligionists who were ill or infirm.

She will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her daughters, Connie Reguera, Annemarie Lando and Irma Hanvelt; sons-inV. law, David Reguera and Robert Lando; grandchildren, Kristianna Garloff, Tarissa Garloff, Angela Hill, Shamaine Solorzano, Christine Solorzano and Nichole Johnson; great-gr a ndchil dren , Allyssa Baumgart, Wyatt Hill, Jazmine Solorzano, Saylor Garloff and Lincoln Garloff; and great-greatgrandchildren, Knox Hill, Lilian Baumgart and Josephine Baumgart.

Service will be private.

Fairfield-Suisun trustees hear overview of newly adjusted school budget Susan Hiland

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The school district budget has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride for the past year, Laneia Grindle, assistant superintendent of Business Services, said Thursday during a meeting with the Fairfield-Suisun School District governing board.

Her comment came as she presented an updated budget report to the board.

School From Page A3 required for graduation.

This also requires districts to provide additional opportunities to complete the statewide coursework required for graduation.

The 2021-2022 school year starts Aug. 18, and staff is preparing for the full return to in-person instruction, McCabe said.

Staff participated over the summer in pro-

Verrett From Page A3 pass deflections. He spent time with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers from 20142017, much of the time dealing with injuries, before joining the 49ers in 2019 and having the breakout year in 2020.

Verrett for his career has played in 39 total games with 140 tackles (122 solo/18 assists), one fumble recovery and seven interceptions over six seasons. His career has been slowed a bit by a foot injury, a partial ACL tear and knee soreness.

“It’s been a long time going through a lot of injuries, but the 49ers believed in me,” Verrett said. “It’s a good team, a high-class organization.

They’ve done a good job getting me back and better to play. It’s the same work ethic I’ve had since I was a kid: grind and work hard.”

Verrett graduated from Rodriguez High School in 2009.

He didn’t receive any college scholarship offers out of high school. Instead, he went to Santa Rosa Community College and turned that experience into a scholarship and a solid career in the defensive backfield at Texas Christian University.

Tony Adams, the evangelism division director at Mount Calvary, said children from the church, the neighborhood and across the Bay Area were invited to attended the Verrett event. He said the event sold out in three days.

The estimates are more favorable now than earlier projections, she said.

The state’s newly enacted budget utilizes significant one-time spending across the K–12 and community college budgets with an estimated one-time payout of roughly $9.4 million to K-12 grades and roughly $1.558 million to community colleges.

The state is spending 65% and 69% of

K–12 and community college resources, respectively, on one-time programs. This excludes the sizable spending to pay off all previous deferrals, Grindle said.

The major ongoing spending is for what are know as unrestricted formula apportionments like the Local Control Funding Formula and the Student Centered Funding Formula, along with a few programs that focus on improving edu-

cational equity.

Also included in the budget was funding for universal transitional kindergarten, which begins in 2022–23 and expands eligibility by two months until all 4-year-olds are offered transitional kindergarten.

Grindle said it looks like Proposition 98 funding will be increased to cover the cost to expand transitional kindergarten, and Local

fessional development programs in preparation for the new requirements in the school year.

The schools are also preparing for new tutoring support staff and are working to secure contracts for student social-emotional group counseling services, which was recommended by Student Voices, McCabe said.

The district is working with Touro University California to host clinics through August for students 12 and older

to receive Tdap and Covid-19 vaccines.

McCabe said she was excited to announce the return of the annual Back to School Resource Fair from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 14 at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church.

McCabe said the event is a time for students to get supplies, for parents to have some fun with their children and to meet the school district staff.

The schools are still hiring and applicants are encouraged to apply.

Staff at area schools

are prepared with portable handwashing stations, bottle refill stations and air purifiers. Students are still going to have to practice social distancing and follow whatever guidelines the state requires for Covid-19 safety.

Masks will still have to be worn.

Students may still choose to attend class remotely through distance learning but the district is looking a little more “normal” for the coming year, McCabe said.

ity,” Adams said. “This is an event where kids can come out and do something positive. Parents are bringing their babies because they know it is a safe environment for everybody.”

Warren Verrett, Jason’s dad, said it is just the style of Jason and the family to give back.

“My mother was a teacher and she taught us to give what we have and share with a neighbor,” the elder Verrett said.

“That’s the way Southern people grow up.”

SUISUN CITY — The lastest local effort to get everyone vaccinated in Solano County saw about 20 people stopping by the Joseph A. Nelson Center on Saturday to get their pokes.

The event was a follow-up to another clinic from June, Suisun City Vice Mayor Alma Hernandez said.

Budget From Page A4 Educational Agencies will receive funding for lower ratios.

The budget includes $150 million for a onetime payment to support child nutrition programs.

Each Local Educational Agency will receive a base allocation of $25,000. All

The city partnered with Solano Public Health and Sutter Health to bring the Pfizer-BioNTech and Johnson & Johnson vaccine to local residents.

“We had the lowest number of vaccination in Solano County,” Hernandez said.

The vice mayor was not far off the mark in her assessment.

Solano Public Health reports that as of Friday, 60.8% of eligible Suisun students will be eligible for two free meals a day regardless of a student’s eligibility for federally funded free or reducedprice meals, limited to one meal per each meal service period. The state will reimburse schools for the cost of the meals.

Grindle said the state budget translates to a total projected revenue of about $209.36 million for the 2022-23 school year.

DC shooting leaves 6-year-old girl dead

An intense search was underway in Washington, D.C., for the suspect or suspects behind a shooting that left a 6-year-old girl dead and five other people injured.

Police said gunfire erupted in the southern part of the district, on the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X Avenues Southeast, just before 11 p.m. Friday.

According to Metropolitan Police Department Executive Assistant Chief Ashan Benedict, officers already in the area heard the violence break out and immediately responded to the shooting.

When they arrived on the scene, just outside liquor and convenience store in Congress Heights, they discovered a total of six people suffering from gunshot wounds.

Three men and two women sustained nonlife-threatening injuries and are expected to make a full recovery. The sixth victim, a little girl, was rushed to the hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

Tamarack Fire now threatens NorCal town after 2-week-old blaze exploded Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO — A nearly 2-week-old wildfire erupted in size and ferocity Friday evening in Alpine County zooming to the outskirts of Markleeville, the county seat, and has prompted the evacuation of several hundred residents and vacationers.

The Tamarack Fire leaped to 6,600 acres from 500 acres overnight, according to the U.S. Forest Service’s Humboldt-Toiyabe unit.

“The fire continues to burn in a northerly direction backing towards Highway 89 south of Markleeville towards the Carson River,” the Forest Service said in an latest incident update. Authorities said the fire was burning in timber and brush, and that aerial resources would support the on-the-ground effort to build hand lines and defend structures.

About 75 firefighters were at the blaze, according to Saturday morning’s update, but officials said “additional suppression resources have been

A fast-moving wildfire that erupted Friday in Alpine County is burning on the outskirts of Markleeville and has prompted the evacuation of several hundred residents. ordered and will be arriving throughout the day.”

Reports have surfaced of some structure loss in Markleeville. The Alpine County Sheriff’s Office said on social media that three structures have been destroyed, but did not have information where the properties were.

The fire was sparked by lightning on July 4, but remained small and relatively inactive until Friday, when it exploded.

Forest Service officials previously said they were monitoring the fire but would not be sending crews to put out the blaze.

“The tactical management decision is not to

insert fire crews due to safety concerns, however, this is not an unresponsive approach,” the Forest Service said on July 10, when the fire was just a quarter-acre wide. “(The Tamarack Fire) is surrounded by granite rocks, a small lake and sparse fuels. Fire poses no threat to the public, infrastruc-

ture or resource values.”

The Alpine County Sheriff’s Office has issued mandatory evacuations for Markleeville, Marklee Village, East Fork Resort, Grover Hot Springs, Shay Creek and several other areas around 8:30 p.m. Highways 4, 88 and 89 are closed in the area of the fire.

“The Tamarack fire is moving fast and aggressively. . . . This is a serious situation. Please get out when advised to,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a social-media post.

An evacuation center was set up at the Alpine Early Learning Center, 100 Foothill Road.

Towers of smoke from the blaze were seen Friday evening across Alpine County, California’s least-populous county with about 1,200 residents, as well as the south shore of Lake Tahoe.

Because of the fire, the annual Tour of the California Alps – Death Ride endurance race, in which 2,500 cyclists were to complete, has been canceled.

Police: Abducted woman rescued after leaving notes in public bathrooms Tribune Content Agency PITTSBURGH — “If I don’t make it, tell my family I love them.”

Those words were written on a note found July 10, stuck to a mirror in a women’s restroom at Fallingwater in Fayette County. The writer, a woman, said she had been held captive by a man named Corey Brewer since May 1.

Two days earlier, a similar note had been discovered in the women’s restroom at a Walmart on Washington Pike in Scott. The writer claimed she had been physically and sexually assaulted by Brewer, and she was being held against her will in a Scott apartment.

The note pleaded for help from 911 and said it wasn’t a joke.

On Sunday, police

arrested Brewer, 40. He faces charges of sexual assault, strangulation, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint and simple assault.

Scott police officers went to the apartment address listed in the note on the day the first note was discovered, a criminal complaint said, but no one answered. The officers said that they could

hear furniture moving inside the apartment toward the front door, but because they did not have a warrant, they could not force their way inside.

The next day, July 9, police called Brewer on a cellphone number that he had given to them during a separate matter.

He answered the call and spoke with officers, who asked whether they could speak to the

woman believed to have left the note.

Officers wanted the call to be taken off speaker phone as well, but Brewer refused, saying he wanted to hear what was being said. The woman spoke to officers via speaker phone and told them she was Brewer’s girlfriend, and they were on vacation in New York, the complaint said.

A day after that, the

second note was found at Fallingwater.

The second note said that the writer had heard police at the door of the apartment July 8 and added that the abuse had not stopped. She also said she did not write some of the text messages sent to her family from her phone..

Officials monitoring birds for lethal disease COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are monitoring the state’s bird population after a “mysterious disease” has killed many in the mid-Atlantic region.

Officials said there have been no confirmed cases of the disease in Colorado so far but that they are on the lookout for birds that are sick or have died with swollen eyes, blindness and signs of neurologic impairment, according to a news release.

Anyone who sees a bird suffering from these symptoms is urged to contact Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

The cause of the disease is unknown.

Most of the birds impacted in the mid-Atlantic regions are blue jays, grackles, European starlings and the American robin.

In Colorado, house finches can be infected by a bacteria that causes similar symptoms called finch conjunctivitis. However, this disease has not been reported in other birds.

The disease commonly is spread from bird feeders or baths, officials said.

Notes From Page A6 criminal complaint, security footage from Fallingwater showed the woman entering the restroom, with Brewer standing nearby.

Pennsylvania State Police contacted the woman’s ex-boyfriend, with whom she has two children, the complaint said, and he told them he had not seen the woman since April and had officially reported her missing.

According to the complaint, that man said the woman and Brewer had a current relationship.

Police then confirmed the woman had filed for a protection from abuse order against Brewer last August, but it had expired in September, the complaint said.

The former boyfriend also confirmed to police that the handwriting on the notes matched the woman’s.

On the morning of July 11, this time armed with a warrant, police and Allegheny County SWAT officers went back to Brewer’s apartment, took him into custody and found the woman.

During interviews with police, the woman described months of abuse; Brewer had allegedly punched and stabbed her and cut off clumps of her hair, the complaint said.

Brewer had also attempted to strangle her on multiple occasions, she said, and he had raped her. According to the complaint, police saw red marks, cuts and bruises on the woman and said that her hair was cut unevenly.

The woman told police that Brewer had threatened to kill her and her children if she attempted to leave, the complaint said.

Brewer was released Monday after posting 10% of the $5,000 bail set by North Side Magisterial District Judge Robert Ravenstahl Jr.

Hundreds of Orlando Cubans gather downtown to demand intervention Tribune Content Agency ORLANDO, Fla. — Hundreds of people Cuban and waving American flags, many wearing paint-stained white T-shirts bearing the words “SOS Cuba,” marched around downtown Orlando and rallied at Lake Eola Park on Saturday, with chants calling for U.S. military intervention reverberating through the crowd.

Saturday marked the sixth day of protests in Orlando and throughout Florida as local Cuban communities march in solidarity with people on the island as anti-government protests continue.

In Orlando, some protesters held signs demanding military intervention, which have been echoed by some South Florida lawmakers and Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“What they are showing you on the TV by the government is a lie.

What we are doing here is the truth,” shouted one man into a microphone, behind him a sketch of the Cuban flag with the names of what supporters said are political prisons. “We want intervention!”

Arturo Campa, a 77-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran who fled the island in 1959 shortly after the success of the Cuban revolution, echoed that demand, saying he’d go himself if he were younger.

“The United States owes us,” said Campa, referring to the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion. “They have to go in there because Cubans don’t have a way to defend themselves [from

Cuban protestors lead the rally from the microphone as they show their passion for change in their homeland as they march around downtown Orlando and Lake Eola in Orlando, Florida, Saturday. the government].”

Cubans on the island have demanded an end to the dictatorship, which they blame for a current economic crisis and a medicine shortage amid the Covid-19 pandemic and a U.S.-imposed blockade spanning decades.

Local supporters said the protests are a call for freedom, as videos coming out of Cuba show security forces, led by President Miguel DíazCanel, cracking down on rallies springing up throughout the country while enlisting pro-government supporters to take to the streets.

While this was the first protest in downtown Orlando, there have been several others throughout the week at Sedano’s on Semoran Boulevard near

Curry Ford Road. The biggest was on Tuesday when there were about 500 people. Protesters shut down Semoran for about an hour and one man was arrested by Orlando police after he refused to get back onto the sidewalk.

Many chanted what’s been the rallying cry all week at the Central Florida protest: “Si Cuba está en la calle, nosotros también,” Spanish for, “If Cuba is in the streets, we will be too.”

But many in the crowd who attended Saturday’s march, like Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, stopped short of calling for intervention. Eskamani, who sympathizes with calls to end Cuba’s authoritarian government, warned

that doing so could end in disaster.

“I know the gut reaction for so many individuals who are scared and mad is military intervention,” she said. “But we have to be very careful when we use those type of points because of the potential of disastrous consequences and more innocent people dying. We don’t more innocent people suffering that have already suffered so much.”

Valdes, a Brittny first-generation CubanAmerican who also marched on Saturday, agreed, calling the current crisis there “hard to neatly put into a box.”

“Do we want boots on the ground to conquer, to imperialize and take over the country? No we do not,” she said.

Congress wary of Space Force spending Tom Roeder The Gazette

The nation’s newest service is beset with old problems that slow the fielding of new gear and carve big holes in even the Pentagon’s massive budget, the House Armed Services Committee warned in a memo this month.

The committee sent that message in a memorandum accompanying its version of the Defense Department budget. The committee, headed by Washington Democratic U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, also worries that the Space Force hasn’t distinguished itself from what it used to be, the Air Force’s space arm.

“The committee remains concerned that the Air Force has not taken more aggressive action in addressing longstanding space acquisition issues and has made little progress in defining what the Space Force will be doing that is fundamentally different than when it was a component of the Air Force,” the lawmakers complained.

For a generation, lawmakers, generals and defense leaders have complained that the military takes too long to build new satellite systems and spends too much on what they buy. The committee stole a phrase from Gen. John Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, to describe the mammoth costly and nearly outdated satellites as “big juicy targets.”

“The Space Force lacks a clear plan which defines its future space architecture and lacks a strategy for how this architecture will be acquired,” the committee said. “The plans for establishing the new acquisition unit, Space Systems Command, consist primarily of renaming the Space and Missile Systems Center and incorporating existing space launch units.”

The memo is a clear and important message to the Space Force bosses: Quit blowing money in ways that don’t make America safer.

On that note, here’s an easy suggestion that will save the Pentagon $1.2 billion: Keep U.S. Space Command where it is.

analysis Moving the command and its 1,400 troops to Alabama was a decision that came in President Donald Trump’s final week in the White House and has been widely decried as partisan politics derailing military needs.

Building a new headquarters for the command would run $1.2 billion alone. That sum doesn’t include the massive amount of infrastructure required to make the site function, nor does it consider that many of the civilian workers helping the command keep peace in orbit aren’t planning to pack up for Alabama.

The move also distracts leaders who should be worrying about threats to American satellites by loading their desks with the bureaucracy that accompanies any major military move. Imagine having to worry about the safety of the Global Positioning System full time while also looking at paint samples and carpet swatches.

The military’s space efforts have been characterized by silly spending over the past 60 years, from cash blown on the 1960s program to put well-armed astronauts in orbit as human spy satellites to a space-based radar system canceled after leaders found out the technology they wanted to purchase hadn’t been invented.

That legacy must change now. Space Force’s top commander Gen. Jay Raymond has repeatedly admonished his troops about moving faster to keep ahead of threats and embracing the new commercial space industry as an example of the way ahead.

Moving Space Command will slow down those efforts, perhaps by years. And few businesses would choose to relocate a successful well-supported enterprise for the sake of political expedience.

“Nevertheless, the committee remains hopeful that with strong new leadership and a greater sense of urgency the Space Force can put its acquisition issues behind it and deliver the capabilities the nation needs,” the lawmakers wrote.

German president thanks helpers as flood deaths rise above 150 Tribune Content Agency BERLIN — The number of people who have died in the devastating flooding in western Germany rose further on Saturday, while the president thanked rescue workers who continued to search for survivors.

Early on Saturday, the death toll reached 133, after police announced 90 fatalities in the Ahrweiler district in Rhineland-Palatinate, while 43 were confirmed in North Rhine Westphalia late on Friday.

Rescue work continued across Europe where more than 150 people have died in the flooding after heavy rainfall hit parts of Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

In Germany, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier expressed his heartfelt thanks to those aiding the rescue efforts, noting that many had worked to the point of exhaustion and beyond.

He joined North Rhine Westphalia state Premier Armin Laschet in a visit to Erftstadt, where numerous houses and cars were washed away in recent days.

Laschet meanwhile promised that aid would be provided swiftly and without excessive bureaucracy, during his visit.

He described the situation as the “disaster of the century” and said helping

A worker, left, takes a picture of a destroyed area in Insul near Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, western Germany, Saturday. the region affected was a “national task.”

In Erftstadt-Blessem, several buildings and parts of a historic castle were destroyed due to a sink hole and major landslides.

Bundeswehr troops have begun clearing cars stuck in the floods on a nearby main road using light wheeled tanks.

Many people remain unaccounted for more than two days after massive flooding hit the region and search and rescue efforts are ongoing. Images of devastation have shocked the nation.

More than 23,000 emer-gency forces were working in rescue operations in the state of North Rhine Westphalia, according to the regional government.

Some 700 residents of Ophoven were evacuated from their homes on Friday evening after a dam broke in the

Heinsberg district in the western state. The situation remained tense early on Saturday morning, according to a statement issued by the town close to the Dutch border.

Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged support for those affected by flooding during a Friday video conference with Laschet, who is also the frontrunner to succeed Merkel at the September election.

Merkel also plans to travel to hard-hit parts of Rhineland-Palatinate on Sunday, the state chancellery in Mainz told dpa.

Thousands of emergency workers are in the Eifel region, where the deluge devastated entire towns on Thursday night.

Damaged power and telephone lines and interruptions to mobile phone services have made it harder to locate people.

Experts were monitoring a dam in Euskirchen closely that was highly

unstable, according to the Cologne district government. The danger of flooding remained acute, the official statement said.

Across the border in Belgium, the death toll from floods and heavy downpours has risen to 24, Belgium’s National Crisis Centre (CCN) said on Saturday morning, as the small country took stock of the damage from recent days.

“Unfortunately, we must take into account that this number will increase again in the days and hours to come,” the government body said in an online statement.

Emergency workers continue their rescue efforts on the ground, the CCN said, but in the badly-affected Liege province, search operations are “practically finished.”

Prime Minister Alexander De Croo visited affected communities on Saturday accompanied

by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Belga news agency reported.

The EU executive branch is based in the Belgian capital, Brussels.

De Croo said he was very touched after meeting emergency workers and inhabitants of two towns badly affected by flooding, Rochefort and Pepinster.”Considerable damage, pain but also enormous solidarity,” De Croo tweeted.

Wreckage from TWA Flight 800 to be destroyed 25 years after crash The Washington Post For nearly 20 years, a haunting relic of one of the worst aviation disasters in U.S. history has been tucked away in a cavernous warehouse in Northern Virginia.

The fuselage of the Boeing 747, painstakingly reassembled from nearly 1,600 pieces plucked from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, is a macabre jigsaw puzzle of wires and burned, twisted metal. But it is all that remains of Trans World Airline Flight 800, the Paris-bound jetliner that crashed shortly after takeoff from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport 25 years ago Saturday killing all 230 people onboard.

The crash made headlines for years, the tragedy of the loss compounded by suspicions the plane may have been the target of a terrorist attack.

Ultimately, after a fouryear investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded the cause was an explosion in the plane’s center fuel tank, the result of a flammable mix of fuel and air ignited by a spark.

The NTSB is set to close another chapter in the story of TWA 800.

The downed jetliner, one of a handful recovered and reconstructed, decommissioned was this month and will be destroyed by the end of the year.

Since 2003, when the wreckage was moved from New York to the agency’s training center in Ashburn, it has been used to help first responders and transportation safety investigators. But advances in technology for investigating crashes – coupled with the end of the lease on the hangar-like space where the 93-foot-long, 60,000pound reconstructed hulk is housed – led the NTSB to conclude it is no longer practical to maintain.

The news brought mixed reactions from family members and friends of those who died in the crash.

Heidi Snow Cinader, who was 24 when she lost her fiance, Michel Breistoff, a professional hockey player, said despite the horrors of the crash, the plane held a special significance for some and provided a measure of comfort for others.

“It’s important to have something tangible and a place to go to understand what had happened,” said Cinader, who later founded the nonprofit AirCraft Casualty Emotional Support Services, which helps people who have lost loved ones in plane crashes. “It’s been important for all of us to have the plane there, but it’s understandable that it can’t be there forever.”

An agreement between

For more than 20 years, the National Transportation Safety Board has kept a portion of the rebuilt Boeing the NTSB and TWA 800 families to move the jet to Virginia specified the remains be used only for training purposes keeping the shattered jetliner largely shielded from the public, even as it has been available for loved ones to view. Many have viewed the wreckage over the years, but that number dwindled as time passed, said Sharon Bryson, the NTSB’s managing director.

For Larry Gustin, whose mother, Anne Gustin, died in the crash, seeing it once was enough.

Gustin, a retired pediatrician from Tampa, said he remembers seeing the wreckage up close, standing in the jet’s cabin next to the seat his mother occupied on what would have been her first trip to Paris. Anne Gilson planned to go sightseeing and visit her youngest son, who had moved to France.

“I have kind of mixed feelings,” Gilson said of the decommissioning.

“Especially this being the 25th year. We are losing something that’s always been there.”

For many families, the reconstruction also stood as a reminder of birthdays, anniversaries and graduations that would never be celebrated, of smiles frozen in photographs and family movies.

Over the years, some have asked to place small tokens on the seats their loved once occupied.

“After 25 years, family members realize it’s a reasonable amount of time for them to let it go,” said James Hall, who served as chairman of the NTSB during the TWA 800 crash and investigation. “Nevertheless, it’s bittersweet.” and Recovering rebuilding the jetliner that exploded 12 minutes after departure was a herculean effort, a feat that had been done in only three previous crashes, includ-

ing Pan American Flight 103, which was shattered by a bomb over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Some debris from the explosion of TWA 800 hung in the air for 20 minutes before falling into the waters off Long Island, the NTSB said.

Eyewitness reports of “flare-like” objects near the jetliner before it burst into flames made its recovery crucial to the investigation, which also involved the FBI. The recovery process included more than 200 divers, 14 ships and a fleet of remotely operated vehicles.

More than 95% of the wreckage was recovered, an effort that took more than 10 months.

The pieces were taken to hangars on Long Island spread across an area that spanned seven acres.

Frank Hilldrup, an NTSB investigator who was involved in the TWA 800 recovery, said looking at the wreckage still fuels his sense of purpose.

“It reminds you what you’re doing and who you’re working for,” said Hilldrup, now the NTSB’s chief technical adviser for international aviation. “It illustrates the lengths you have to go to sometimes to really tell the story, to prove the story, to support the recommendations.”

For Bryson, the remains of TWA 800 are a reminder of what was lost that July night.

The 230 people came from 14 countries.

The victims included 16 students, members of the French Club at Montoursville Area High School in Pennsylvania, and their five chaperones.

There also was a French guitarist and an American composer.

The crash and subsequent safety recommendations changed how airplanes are built and designed.

Syria’s al-Assad sworn in again Tribune Content Agency DAMASCUS, Syria — Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Saturday was sworn in for a fourth seven-year term, amid a worsening of the economic crisis in the war-ravaged country.

In May, al-Assad, who has ruled Syria since 2000, was re-elected after gaining an expected landslide in a presidential election that was dismissed by the opposition as a sham.

He won 95.1% of valid votes that were cast in the election held in government-controlled

areas, according to official figures.

On Saturday, he called on his opponents in exile to return to their homeland.

“I repeat my call to whoever has been manipulated and bet on the nation’s fall and collapse of the state to return to the homeland,” al-Assad said in an address after taking the oath.

He praised the voters who had backed him.

“You proved with your awareness and national attachment that people do not compromise on their determination in defending their rights regardless of colonialists’ ploys,” he

said, according to Syria’s state news agency SANA. Three contenders, including al-Assad, ran in the May 26 polls in Syria’s second presidential election since the country’s civil war began in 2011.

In 2014, Al-Assad won 88.7% of votes, in what was Syria’s first election with a range of candidates.

With the help of Iran and Russia, al-Assad has retaken control of more than 60% of the country.

The rebels still hold some areas in north and northwestern Syria, while Kurds rule areas in the northeast.

747 at its training center in Ashburn, Va. It will destroy the plane this year.

In 2004, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered that airplanes be retrofitted with systems to reduce the volatility of the mix of air and fuel in tanks, a decision the NTSB called, “a transformational improvement in aviation safety.” The vulnerability was identified as a factor in airplane crashes in the early 1960s.

The investigation also led to the creation of a system at the FAA to address aging aircraft systems, such as wiring.

The crash also shined a light on the human impact of air disasters, spurring the creation of a formal program at the NTSB focused on support-

ing families.

“I hope that the family group from this accident understands that through all the loss – the tremendous loss that occurred – all the good that occurred,” Bryson said. “After our recommendations, we saw no more accidents like this.

It taught us to work better with our partners. And today, people benefit so much from that relationship, and certainly the Family Assistance Act has changed not just transportation, but family assistance around the world.”

When the time comes later this year, what remains of TWA 800 will

be taken apart and melted, burned or shredded.

Those involved in the work will be required to sign nondisclosure agreements. Parts that aren’t destroyed must have any marks removed that could identify them as being part of TWA 800, NTSB officials said.

The precautions are to avoid having pieces fall into the hands of someone who might try to profit from or exploit the crash, as happened in 1999 when a TWA pilot and his wife, a former TWA flight attendant, were convicted of stealing parts from the downed jet.

Since 2002, the families have had another place to reflect and remember those lost on July 17, 1996: the TWA Flight 800 Memorial at Smith Point County Park, near where the plane crashed. Names of the 230 victims have been inscribed on a memorial wall, along with the quote: “A labor of love for all those lost and those who must remember . . . find comfort here.”

“It’s a beautiful spot that provides people with a place to reflect,” said Frank A. Lombardi, chief operating officer of IGHL, a Long Island-based nonprofit that worked with the families to build and maintain the memorial.

On Saturday, Lombardi will join family members for an annual ceremony that has followed a familiar but comforting script.

At the end of the program, families will be presented with 230 white carnations – one for each person who lost their life.

Oosthuizen, who knows failure, nears Open title The Washington Post A good mensch might say the 149th British Open ought to go to Louis Oosthuizen on Sunday because – come on, man, anybody who has contended that routinely ought to get rewarded.

Sports don’t work that way, of course, so Oosthuizen, a runner-up at the 2021 PGA Championship and the 2021 U.S. Open – and at four other majors since 2012 after his 2010 British Open title

at St. Andrews – must do some serious fending-off.

The 38-year-old South African must fend off, for starters, Collin Morikawa, a phenom of mesmerizing skill and nerve whose absurd age (24) might make a good mensch say, Come on, man, you’ll have lots of chances left.

That thought can’t enter the fray, either, so Oosthuizen at 12 under par and Morikawa at 11 under will form the final pairing again Sunday. That’s even after Oosthuizen birdied

the par-3 16th on Saturday with a tee shot right out of a sonnet to six feet, then later told reporters at Royal St. George’s, “It felt like it was a Sunday afternoon really when I made the putt and I was taking the lead.”

It wasn’t, and that’s mean old life and mean old golf.

So Oosthuizen will have to conquer not only that calendar detail but the others lurking behind Morikawa: famed Texan Jordan Spieth at

9 under; Canadian Corey Conners and 25-year-old Texan Scottie Scheffler at 8 under; and three pursuers at 7 under - South African Dylan Frittelli, Canadian Mackenzie Hughes and Spaniard Jon Rahm, who just won the U.S. Open a few minutes ago. At least top-ranked Dustin Johnson and the great Brooks Koepka had the decency to struggle after looking menacing Friday, shooting 73 and 72, respectively, to fall to 3 under.

“Go one better,” Oosthuizen recommended for himself. “You know, finishing second isn’t great, so I will play my heart out tomorrow and see if I can lift the claret jug again.”

Technically, finishing second repeatedly is great in this crowd, but everybody gets Oosthuizen’s point, just as everybody gets that the universe owes Oosthuizen nothing.

“No,” he said. “No, no.”

He and Morikawa and Spieth had just spent the third round tangled

at the top, bouncing in and out of the lead as the scores cooled some and the three of them shot 69, 68 and 69. Spieth, the three-time major winner, 2017 British Open champion and former world No. 1 who dipped to No. 92 before making it back to his current No. 23, lurked right up there with the other two until bogeying his way out of the place on the closing two holes, with the kind of bunny par See Open, Page A13

U.S. women’s soccer team is the heavy Olympic favorite Squad seeks a feat never achieved before Jonathan Tannenwald

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

For all that’s been said about the U.S. women’s soccer team this year, there has been unusually little talk about the Olympics’ biggest soccer story line.

In the 25 years since women’s soccer became an Olympic sport, no reigning World Cup champion has ever won gold at the following Summer Games.

Not the U.S. superpowers of the 1990s and today; not the German dynasty that won back-toback World Cups in the 2000s. There have been six opportunities for it to

happen, and it never has.

The question of why has been out there ever since women’s soccer joined the Summer Games in 1996. There have been lots of answers over time, from postWorld Cup fatigue (and in recent years, a deluge of sponsor commitments) to increased parity in the sport. And of course, a knockout competition always produces upsets.

This year, the U.S. women will be the seventh reigning World Cup champion to try to win Olympic gold. Will they break the hex, or will they be the latest team to succumb to it?

The history Norway had the first chance after winning the 1995 World Cup in Sweden, a tournament in which it beat the United States – reigning World Cup champion from 1991 – in the semifinals. The Americans got revenge in the 1996 Olympics, beating Norway in the semifinals and China in the gold medal game.

You need only mention the year 1999 to know what happened that summer at the Rose Bowl.

But a year later in Sydney, Australia, Norway dethroned the dynasty led by Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Brandi Chastain,

and Briana Scurry with a 3-2 extra-time win in the gold medal game.

Germany won back-toback women’s World Cups in 2003 and 2007, including a win over the U.S. in Portland, Ore., in the 2003 semifinals. Yet there were Olympic semifinal losses in 2004 and 2008, to the U.S. in the former tournament and Brazil in the latter. The Americans beat Brazil in both gold medal games.

Japan won the 2011 World Cup, beating a resurgent American team in the final. The next summer in London, the U.S. beat Japan in the See Favorite, Page A11

Padres-Nationals game halted after shooting outside stadium Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The Padres’ game against the Nationals on Saturday night was halted in the middle of the sixth inning when a shooting occurred outside the ballpark.

As Padres reliever Pierce Johnson was running in from the bullpen and umpires conferred with the head groundskeeper at Nationals Park, a sound was heard outside the ballpark on the third-base side.

Crew chief Chris Carlson suddenly motioned for Padres players to leave the field and walked to the visitors’ dugout where he appeared to explain to manager Jayce Tingler and others what was happening as he pointed in the direction of the sound.

At the same time, fans began running out of the

Rain was in the forecast and was expected to begin falling imminently,

adding to the confusion. Many thought a rain delay had begun.

Just a couple minutes later, there was another loud bang and people all over the stadium began scurrying and ducking.

There were yells for people to take cover.

Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. ran onto the field, followed by at least two other teammates. They sprinted down the thirdbase line and grabbed family members from the stands and ran with them back toward the visitors’ dugout.

The exodus onto the field continued, as dozens of clearly scared fans were let onto the field and ran to the Padres dugout.

It appeared Padres third baseman Manny Machado was among those facilitating fans leaving the stands and moving to shelter.

A short while later, an announcement over the public address system informed fans “the incident has been reported to be outside the stadium” See Shooting, Page A13

OAKLAND — The thrill of Jed Lowrie’s walk-off home run on Friday night juxtaposed with a grueling one-run loss to a middling Cleveland team tells the story of the A’s this season.

They have the talent and will to contend for the division title, but inconsistent offense often catches up to them.

It caught up to them in Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Cleveland, in which the A’s made clear they’ve made a bad habit of not capitalizing on opportune scoring situations.

Lowrie had a chance to play hero again when he entered the game as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth with two runners on and no outs, the A’s down two runs.

He flew out to advance Matt Chapman to third base. Sean Murphy, another pinch hitter, came to the plate with a chance to become their newest hero. He scored Chapman from third on a sacrifice fly – close, but not enough. Elvis Andrus was a half-inch shy of an infield hit that could have extended the inning, but he was called out

on replay review; there would be no hero.

“If a half step Elvis beats it out and Oly gets a hit, then we’re talking about a different game,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “We have a lot more offensively, our potential is more than we’re doing and have done right before the break. We got base runners on with a chance to win the game, we just didn’t get a big hit at the end.”

Opportunities to crack the game open came earlier, too.

Twice in the fifth inning the A’s had bases loaded with an opportunity to turn a one-run deficit into a healthy lead, but both chances went without one run scoring.

The first came with no outs when Tony Kemp reached on an infield hit and Aramis Garcia and Canha – reinstated from the injured list – were hit by pitches. Canha might’ve gone hitless, but got back into his element hit by a pitch for the 14th time this year.

Giants’ win streak ends at five as they go homerless at St. Louis Tribune Content Agency ST. LOUIS — There are very few negative statistics for the Giants this season. That’s what happens when a team puts together the best record in the majors.

Their reliance on the homer, though, has a flip side: While San Francisco entered Saturday tied for the major-league lead in home runs, the club doesn’t fare quite so well without them. After failing to hit any balls over walls in a 3-0 loss to the Cardinals, the Giants’ five-game winning streak came to an end and they are now 9-12 in games in which they don’t homer.

They’re 49-21 in games in which they go deep at least once.

San Francisco doesn’t have the most diverse offense around: 52.3 percent of the Giants’ runs have come via homers, the highest mark in the majors. They had five singles and three walks Saturday – and their only run scored via an error.

The Cardinals recorded 100 percent of their runs Saturday via the home run. Tyler O’Neill cracked one off Anthony DeSclafani leading off the second, and regular Giants irritant Paul Goldschmidt continued his rampage against them with a two-run shot in the sixth, the 26th of his career against them to go along with 98 RBIs. Goldschmidt also has bedeviled DeSclafani regularly, though this is the right-hander’s first season with San Francisco. He’s 14-for-27 with two homers off DeSclafani.

St. Louis lefty Kwang Hyun Kim is another customer that San Francisco might prefer not to see often. With his family in the stands to see him for the first time at Busch Stadium – they had stayed at home in South Korea because of the pandemic – Kim worked six scoreless innings to extend his See Giants, Page A13

Favorite: Won World Cup without PKs From Page A10 final, 2-1, with Carli Lloyd scoring both – the second straight gold medal game in which she scored the winner.

In 2015, Lloyd led the Americans back to the World Cup summit, with a hat trick in the final to crown a 5-2 win over Japan and end a 16-year World Cup title drought.

But a year later in Brazil, Sweden stunned the U.S. with a penalty kick shootout win in the quarterfinals, leaving the Americans with their worst-ever major tournament finish.

The current cycle began in 2019, when the U.S. ran over the most stacked women’s World Cup field ever. The Americans won all seven games without needing penalty kicks, a feat never achieved by their legendary predecessors. (The 2015 team tied Sweden in the group stage, the 1999 final went to penalties, and the 1991 team played six games in a 12-team field.)

More than just favorites The Covid-19 pandemic’s delaying of the Olympics by a year means that this tournament is the first that has not come in the year right after a World Cup. The extra rest players have had as a result means that the post-World Cup fatigue often cited by title-winners (including a deluge of off-field sponsor commitments) isn’t as much of a factor. But of course, the pandemic has created an entirely different set of challenges.

Just ask American star Alex Morgan, one of many Olympians barred from bringing their young children to Japan in order to reduce the number of foreigners entering the country.

Though the world has changed a lot since 2019, the top of the Olympic odds board is the same. The U.S. is the overwhelming favorite to win gold, thanks to its stacked squad and a weaker-than-usual field. European powers France and Germany failed to qualify, while usual contenders Canada, Great Britain, and Australia have been underwhelming lately.

The Americans’ top rivals for gold are likely to be the Netherlands, led by prolific forwards Vivianne Miedema and Lieke Martens, and Brazil, led by dazzling playmakers Marta and Debinha.

THE DAILY REPUBLIC DELIVERS. CALL 427-6989.

Japan could be a dark horse, playing at home with a young squad that’s been growing toward this summer.

But really, it’s the U.S. vs. the field. And the odds became even better when FIFA and the IOC recently agreed to expand Olympic rosters from 18 players to 22. The Americans’ depth is their greatest asset, and the four players who had been alternates – forward Lynn Williams, playmaker Catarina Macario, defender Casey Krueger, and thirdstring goalkeeper Jane Campbell – will now be available for games.

Though game day rosters will remain at 18 players, having all 22 players to pick from means U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski can rotate

his team as much as he needs to across the group stage’s three games in seven days.

Extra motivation The truth is, the U.S. team’s quest to make history hasn’t come up much because it hasn’t needed to. The women’s soccer world already knows, and doesn’t need reminding – especially this U.S. team’s veterans, who are trying to do what Hamm, Abby Wambach, and so many others couldn’t.

Yes, this team is ready to play with a chip on its shoulder again, even as women’s soccer’s biggest superpower.

The players haven’t forgotten how much they were criticized for running up the score in

the 2019 World Cup, by the same kinds of people who lavish praise on men’s sports teams who do the same. Sweden is too good a team to let that happen, No. 5 in FIFA’s global rankings.

But if the door opens elsewhere in the tournament, don’t be surprised if the Americans charge right through it.

They’ve already found motivation beyond the field. As Morgan packed her bags for the flight, instead of packing supplies for Charlie she packed fuel for her fire.

“I’m going to miss my baby girl so much this month,” she wrote on Instagram. “Charlie girl, I’ll make it worth it!”

You could feel the rest of the world shudder as they read.

A series of aged levees and a robust water management strategy can manage current pressures – within reason.

But as the threat potential continues to increase in coming years, Suisun City is working toward action to collectively weather the storm.

Sustainable Solano is focused on building what it characterizes as organically resilient neighborhoods in the most environmentally and socially vulnerable communities of Seabreeze, Victorian Harbor and Old Town. Their research has shown these communities will be the most affected by future flooding, while also having the

Schillinger said she was especially excited about the Best in Show prize. It went to a Kubelwagen, which is a very rare VW that was used during World War II. The Legacy Award went to Fernind Krumpett of Napa, who could not make it because he is ill. His VW has made two trips to the Arctic Circle and been more places than you can count.

Fiesta Days Chairwoman Karen Juilfs was

excited to be able to bring the 65th Fiesta Days back in its full glory for Sept. 2-6.

“We are having the parade, the carnival . . . all of it,” she said. “And we will have another car show in September to go along with Fiesta Days.”

Grand Marshals Kevin and Georgia Moreno, owners of Wren Cafe, were happy to be out for official Fiesta Days events.

“It is an honor to be nominated,” Kevin Moreno said.

His family has

been in Vacaville since 1911. They have owned Wren Cafe for more than 30 years.

Juilfs noted that this year they are having a “Do the Right Thing” campaign geared toward the youth in Vacaville.

“If someone sees them doing a good deed, they will be rewarded with tickets for Fiesta Days,” she said.

Ruling From Page One said in a 77-page decision, which noted widespread sympathy for Dreamers. “As much as this court might agree with these sentiments, and as popular as this program might be, the proper origination point for DACA was, and is, Congress.”

The ruling comes amid a continuing humanitarian crisis: Since the start of the year, U.S. authorities have apprehended or denied entry to more than 200,000 Central Americans at the southern U.S. border, expelling many of them to Mexico.

Hanen said it would be too disruptive to the lives of Dreamers in the existing program to end it immediately.

He ordered the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to continue renewing permits for current enrollees and to not reject any renewals because of his order, while he gives Congress and the administration time to figure out how to cure the legal defects that undermined the program.

Biden said the ruling underscores the urgency that Congress, through the process known as reconciliation or other means, pass a law to “finally provide security to all Dreamers, who have lived too long in fear.”

One of Biden’s first actions as president was an executive order for DHS to “preserve and fortify” DACA, and the agency says it will undergo the formal rulemaking process Texas claims Obama illegally skipped. The U.S. House has passed a bill to give all DACA recipients lawful permanent residency. A bipartisan companion bill that protects Dreamers is under consideration in the Senate.

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images/TNS file (2020)

Advocates for immigrants with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, rally in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., June 15, 2020. A federal judge on Friday ruled that the DACA program was unconstitutional in its implementation.

While none of the young people is at immediate risk of either deportation or losing work authorization, the judge effectively said rescuing Dreamers is a job for Congress and the Biden administration, which have failed so far to reach agreement on what to do with them. The legal challenge moves next to the conservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, which now includes six judges appointed by former president Donald Trump.

Hanen’s decision ultimately sets the case back on track to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in June 2020 that Trump couldn’t arbitrarily end DACA without following federal rulemaking procedures and providing a good explanation. The Texas challenge asked the same legal question in reverse, whether former president Barack Obama violated federal procedures when he implemented DACA without congressional approval in 2012.

Friday’s ruling was no surprise, given Hanen’s previous conclusion in a related case that DACA

appeared unconstitutional but that ending it would be like trying to unscramble an egg.

Hanen ruled Obama skipped the same required rule-making steps as Trump. But the judge indicated DACA might yet be saved if the Biden administration gave the public time to comment on a new version of DACA before a reconstituted program is put into place.

Representatives of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who spearheaded the states’ fight against DACA, didn’t immediately respond to phone and email requests for comment.

The Dreamers had support in court from a broad coalition of civil rights groups, business associations, health care organizations and academic institutions.

They argued DACA recipients will contribute as much as $460 billion to U.S gross domestic product by 2028, according to a study by the Center for American Progress. Companies will have to spend $6.3 billion to hire replacements if Dreamers lose their jobs,

the study found.

Texas claimed it had spent at least $250 million annually providing education, health care and law enforcement services to undocumented immigrants, which justifies court protection from the program’s financial harm.

Hanen said Friday that the Fifth Circuit has already rejected the balancing argument that the Dreamers’ economic contribution outweighs their social cost to the states where they live and receive services. But he clearly wanted to avoid throwing the lives of so many young people into chaos, saying they were on the wrong side of the law through no fault of their own.

Texas, in addition to the DACA challenge, also persuaded a federal judge to block the plan Biden announced after taking office in January to halt deportations of undocumented immigrants for 100 days. The proposed deportation freeze was part of a broader effort to roll back Trump policies and work toward nationwide immigration reform.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, July 18, 2021 A13

Open: Morikawa trails Oosthuizen by 1 From Page A10 miss on No. 18 that turns up in REM nightmares.

Morikawa didn’t look bound for the heights of the leader board when he visited some weeds near a fence somewhere near the green on No. 5, always a harsh turn of golf tourism on the British Isles. It caused a second bogey that deepened his plummet from an opening 9 under to 7 under and verging on see ya. From there, he righted the whole thing and then some. He birdied Nos. 7 and 8 and, when his birdie from downtown on No. 13 whirled around the lip and plunked in, he stood at 10 under.

When Oosthuizen knocked in a bogey right then and there, Oosthuizen and Spieth stood tied at 11 under, with Morikawa barely behind.

Morikawa kept feasting. He banged his drive to a pristine fairway spot on the par-5 14th, then stood 254 yards away and did what he does pretty much better than all the players: hit an iron a long way onto the green. His lag putt did what lag putts are supposed to do, and he birdied from a trickle away, and the third day had three leaders.

He sinned no more from there but also birdied no more, and later he spoke of the 2020 PGA Championship in San Francisco, where he won in his debut at that event.

“I think the biggest thing I can draw from the PGA is just knowing that I can get it done,” he said after the third day of his debut in this event.

He does lack “experience on links golf,” he said, “and pretty much all the highlights in

George’s and its diabolical pin placements Saturday, with more to come Sunday, but Oosthuizen has pondered such things again and again and again. He has a claret jug replica already on the farm he bought in Ocala, Fla., from his runaway win at the nirvana of all courses in 2010, as well as plenty of well-carried scars from the pratfalls of majors where he joined thicker contention, including two playoff defeats.

“I think all of us are just human to think of lifting the trophy, and that’s going to be in your mind,” he said. “But I think you just need to know it and how to handle it.”

The human part does play a role, even if the humane part does not.

my head are from this week,” and yet, “Thankfully, there are quite a few.” The Southern Californian schooled in Northern California (at Cal) concluded, “It’s going to be grueling 18, but I look forward to it.”

Others stayed fairly close and chimed in.

Frittelli, who was educated at the School of Hook ’Em in Austin, said Oosthuizen is “going to take some catching in the form he’s in right now.”

Scheffler, educated at that same rowdy place, said, “I think if I get off to a good start, I can get myself in the mix pretty quickly.”

Conners, a math major from Kent State, assessed the idea of winning some major somewhere and said: “Well, in mathematical terms I feel like it’s likely. I feel ready.”

That’s a lot to ponder even atop Royal St.

From Page A10 that dates back to June 25 – grounded into a 5-2-3 double play.

Cleveland starter Cal Quantrill didn’t give Matt Olson much to work with, walking him with two outs to load the bases again. Mitch Moreland flew out to end a scoreless inning.

Olson and Moreland put together the A’s early 1-0 lead in the first inning with Olson’s double – his fourth hit of the series – and Moreland’s RBI double. One run wouldn’t suffice. n n n While the A’s are batting .259 with runners in scoring position, good for a 10th-best average in baseball, their .222 average with the bases loaded is good for fifth-worst in baseball.

Those numbers get worse narrowed down to the latest skid that started against the San Francisco Giants on June 25 and coincided with Canha hitting the injured list. Over the 15 games heading into Saturday’s, the A’s batted a league-worst .212 and their average with runners in scoring position plummeted to .217. Even more alarming, the A’s didn’t collect one hit and crossed just three runs with the bases loaded in any situation.

“I think maybe sometimes you put pressure on yourselves when you don’t come through and it snowballs a little bit and it gets contagious,” Melvin said. “As long as we keep getting opportunities, we have quality hitters and they’re going

to come through. We just have gone through a period where we have not. I know our numbers don’t look great over the course of the season but I’m confident that will pick up.”

Moreland echoed a similar sentiment.

“All I can say is we put ourselves in the opportunities and giving us chances to win games,” he said. “This fell on me a couple times the last couple days not being able to get it done, but keep getting guys out there, it’s going to happen. This team is too good.” n n n The margin of error was too thin for Frankie Montas, who shouldered the loss despite giving up just two runs over six innings.

The slip-up came in the fifth inning, when the A’s starter started to lose his release point.

He gave up two runs on Cesar Hernandez’s RBI double and Amed Rosario’s sacrifice fly.

“He pitched good, when you don’t score too many runs – he gave up two, struck out seven, only walked one, gave up six hits – a lot of times you’re going to win that game,” Melvin said.

But Montas strung together a third straight in which he allowed two or fewer runs. He struck out seven and induced 15 swings-and-misses, including eight on his splitter. Montas has been incorporating his splitter more into his pitch mix since his outing against Houston, where he struck out a seasonhigh 10 batters.

Shooting From Page A10 and urged fans to remain inside the ballpark. Fans later were told they could exit gates beyond the outfield.

D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department tweeted they were “responding to a shooting in the 1500 block of South Capitol Street, SW, in which two people where shot outside of Nationals Park. This is currently an active investigation and it appears there is no ongoing threat at this time.”

A second tweet said two additional victims “associated with this incident walked into area hospitals for treatment of gunshot wounds.”

The game, which the Padres led 8-4, will be resumed at 10:05 a.m.

PT Sunday. The series finale, originally scheduled for that time,

will follow.

The Padres, who scored in eight of nine innings in a 24-8 victory on Friday, scored in the first three innings of Saturday’s game and led 5-1 when Ryan Zimmerman got the Nationals to 5-4 with a three-run homer off Blake Snell in the bottom of the third.

Snell pitched through the fourth, and Craig Stammen threw a scoreless fifth before the Padres scored three runs in the top of the sixth.

The game was stopped at 9:30 p.m. ET. Shortly after 10 p.m., with the ballpark virtually empty, the grounds crew began doing its usual postgame infield maintenance.

Neither team was available for comment after the incident.

Live music returns to Suisun City waterfront Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — Bring your dancing shoes and be prepared to work off any calories consumed from food vendor purchases.

Music on the Waterfront kicks off Saturday on the Harbor Plaza Stage.

Musician Tracy Cruz is the first to perform at the monthly event that runs through September.

Cruz, who was born in the Phillippines, moved to the Bay Area when she was young. She discovered her voice at an early age.

“My mom told me I sang at 2,” she said.”I have vivid recollections of when I was about 5, I would sing in front of family members, especially the grandfathers, and they would give me money.”

Their favorite tune: “The Greatest Love of All.” Cruz also delighted them with love songs in Tagalog. She can still sing in her native tongue.

She grew up admiring the voices of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Lea Salonga. Lauren Hill, Stevie Wonder and Monica Arnold were also artists she emulated.

Quincy Jones and Earth, Wind and Fire are also on the list.

She describes her singing style as rhythm and blues with a splash of jazz.

“We get requests for jazz shows,” she said, adding she loves to perform some jazz standards.

Cruz is excited about kicking off the Suisun City Waterfront music season, promising a group of energetic, creative individuals who love to have fun.

There will be classics from favorite bands as well as old-school tunes in rhythm and blues.

She’s backed by her band Instrumentali-T. Some have been with her for more than a decade.

All are Bay Area musicians she’s established good friendships with, Cruz said.

“They are high-caliber talent and like to have fun,” she said. “I have solid trust in them on stage.”

For Suisun City, she will bring a keyboardist, bassist, drummer and guitarist.

VALLEJO — Shannon Rae always wanted to do a Linda Ronstadt tribute.

Her first record purRonstadt’s chase was greatest hits, which was played so often her family members would ask her to put on another record.

She was ready to launch the Ronstadt Revival about a decade ago.

Then, her career took off and the Rondstadt dream was moved to the back burner while Rae toured.

Things slowed down a few years ago and Rae auditioned for an Orange County band looking for a Linda Ronstadt singer.

“I think they were shocked when I showed up dressed like her,” Rae said.

The blonde-haired, blueeyed singer donned a wig and wore some vintage Rondstadt clothes.

She was asked to join the next day. That was August 2019.

Rae had a brief bout of self-doubt, uncertain if she could perform Ronstadt’s music.

“It’s a tall order,” Rae said. “People are very picky about Linda. No one will ever be Linda.”

Rae found peace in sharing the music.

Hours were invested in rehearsal.

The first public gig was Feb. 29, 2020. The response

Everything was shut down two weeks later as Covid-19 hit. There were no open venues. The group stayed in touch over Zoom before finding a huge outdoor rehearsal space in the bass player’s backyard.

“The neighbors loved it,” Rae said. “They got a free concert while we honed our show.”

The band accepted an

outdoor gig in November in Apple Valley. The temperature was a brisk 38 degrees.

Hand warmers, coats and beanies came in handy.

About 80 people showed up for the show and stayed the entire two hours, Rae said.

The Rondstadt Revival is booked for the next several months.

“Throughout the pandemic, a lot of bands fell off the radar,” Rae said.

“I hammered it out on social media.”

When the band celebrated its first anniversary, Rae brought a cake to celebrate. Her goal was to keep the audience engaged.

“It worked,” Rae said, noting a lot of people signed up for the email list and followed the band on Facebook and Instagram.

The most challenging Ronstadt song for Rae was “Blue Bayou.”

“I know everyone has an expectation when you hit that note of the chorus,” she said.

Rae worked with a vocal coach to master it.

Ronstadt stopped touring in 2009 due to health concerns. Rae never had the chance to see her perform live.

Singing to a room of Ronstadt fans is the best, she said. Sometimes they sing so loudly that Rae can’t hear herself.

“Blue Bayou” is also the one song Rae knows See Linda, Page B2

Los Tres de Winters to entertain at Rotary Park Gazebo Daily Republic Staff

WINTERS — Only two opportunities remain to enjoy the free Winters Friends of the Library summer concert series.

Los Tres de Winters will perform from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Rotary Park Gazebo, on Main Street at Railroad Avenue, in front of the Community Center.

The trio plays Norteño-

style music, with José Luis Echeverria on accordion, Adolfo Valenzuela on bajo quinto (a large guitar with five courses of doubled steel strings) and Rafael Echeverria on bass.

It’s a hybrid of Mexican and Spanish vocal traditions with waltzes and polkas brought to Mexico

by Czech and German immigrants in the mid19th century. It evolved in the north of Mexico

and is now a favorite style throughout the western U.S. Check them out on YouTube.

The performance is part of the Winters Friends of the Library’s 23rd season of Summer Concerts at the Gazebo.

The series will conclude July 29 with The Easy Winners playing classic rags, waltzes, cakewalks, tangos and marches.

Everyone is invited to pack a picnic, bring a blanket or lawn chairs or sit on the grass, sip a cool drink and enjoy live music. The Friends of the Library will have refreshments and used books for sale. All proceeds will support the Winters Library.

Kutcher, once passenger No. 500, won’t be flying Virgin Galactic soon Tribune Content Agency You know how much fun Richard Branson and his mates appeared to be having on their Virgin Galactic edge-of-space flight last week? Ashton Kutcher will be having none of that fun.

Blame Mila Kunis – and those darn kids of theirs.

Kutcher was famously the 500th person to buy a six-figure ticket to space from Virgin Galactic, way back in March 2012, when the “That ‘70s Show” alum was the highest-paid actor in television. Virgin Group founder Branson blogged about it at the time, noting that the actor and venture capitalist had “a childhood dream of going to space.”

Unfortunately, some other childhoods got in the way, Kutcher revealed Thursday in an interview with Cheddar News, where he had been riffing on cryptocurrency.

“You just hit on a really sensitive subject for me,” the former “Two and a Half Men” star said when asked about his Virgin Galactic plans.

“When I got married [to Kunis] and had kids, my wife basically encouraged that it was not a smart family decision to be heading into space when we have young children,” he said. “So I ended up selling my ticket back to Virgin Galactic.”

Thank goodness it was refundable. The 43-yearold didn’t say exactly

Cruz is also a vocal coach. About 95% of her students are teens and children.

“Children and teens are so passionate about the arts,” she said. “They need that one person to guide and support them. That one person to believe in you.”

Kutcher split from first wife Demi Moore in 2011 and finalized that divorce in October 2013.

He and Kunis went public as a couple in fall 2012, had a baby in 2014 and got married in June 2015.

Their second child arrived late in 2016.

Branson had bragged in 2012 that Virgin Galactic expected to put paying passengers in the sky by 2013 or 2014. Instead, he finally hit the skies last Sunday with five Virgin Galactic employees, beating rival billionaire Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin by nine whole days.

Kutcher, meanwhile, seemed a little confused about the details as he kept talking to Cheddar.

“I was supposed to be on the next flight,” Kutcher said, apparently forgetting that as passenger No. 500 he might have had to wait a bit.

“But I will not be on the next flight.”

Still, he’s keeping his dream alive, maybe for when daughter Wyatt and

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, July 18, 2021 B3

Study: Hotter temps increased workplace injuries in California; incidents undercounted Tribune Content Agency Hotter temperatures in California significantly increase the risk that workers will be injured on the job, according to a new study that finds these incidents are vastly undercounted in official records.

The study, to be published next week by the Institute of Labor Economics, was conducted by three researchers at UCLA and Stanford who gathered information on about 18 years’ worth of claims from California’s workers’ compensation system – the largest in the country – and compared it to daily temperature data. They found that workplace injuries and accidents increased by as much as 9% on days when temperatures were in the 90s and rose by as much as 15% on days in the 100s.

Though much of the research and media attention has been on how heat affects people who work outdoors in agriculture and construction, the study found that high temperatures increased accidents for indoor workers, too, endangering people employed in manufacturing, warehousing and wholesale.

“Heat is of those things where our familiarity with it may engender a sense of false security,” said Jisung Park, a UCLA economist and the lead author of the study. “But this and other research suggests that hotter temperatures, which in many cases may not seem like such a big deal, appear to have hidden costs.”

The types of injuries weren’t isolated to heat sickness or exhaustion.

Workers were more likely

Workers in manufacturing and warehouses were more likely to be injured on the job during high temperatures. to fall, be hit by a moving vehicle or mishandle dangerous machinery – accidents that researchers suggested could be the result of heat’s ability to impair decision-making.

Judging by official records alone, one would think that heat-related workplace injuries are rare. In California, only about 850 injuries per year are classified as being caused by extreme heat.

But by looking at whether injuries increased on hot days, the researchers discovered the true tally is likely much greater.

In total, rising temperatures caused about 20,000 additional workplace injuries per year,

imposing an estimated cost of $1 billion on workers, employers and the state as a whole, according to the study.

The study adds to a growing body of research finding that heat has a much greater effect on us than previously understood. One 2019 study found that a 10-degree increase in temperature made it less likely that American immigration judges would make decisions favorable to applicants. Another study, a working paper from 2018 that Park wrote as a PhD student, found that New York City students were more likely to fail an important state exam on a

90-degree day than when it was 72 degrees outside.

The latest study builds on work by Marcus Dillender, an economist at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s School of Public Health, who established a link between rising temperatures and on-the-job injuries in Texas. But Park and the other researchers were able to draw more detailed conclusions about how heat affects different types of workers.

They found that when temperatures rise, the burden is not shared equally. Men and younger workers are at much greater risk of injury on a hot day, even in indoor settings.

Low-wage workers fare the worst, in part because they tend to work in more dangerous jobs, and they often live and work in the hottest parts of the state.

The study found that someone in the bottom 20% of earners was five times more likely to be injured on a hot day than someone in the top 20%. Because workers’ compensation and health insurance cover only a fraction of these employees’ lost wages and medical bills, the research suggests that rising temperatures could also fuel income inequality.

One might expect that these trends would worsen over time as climate

change makes heat waves in California more frequent and more severe.

But to the researchers’ surprise, the data showed that heat began to have less of an effect around 2005, at roughly the same time California adopted a heat illness prevention regulation that required outdoor workers to be given shade, water and training on ways to avoid heat exhaustion. After 2005, the study found, the connection between heat and workplace injuries was still there, but it wasn’t as strong.

Park cautioned that more research would be needed to understand whether the state’s outdoor heat regulation was truly effective.

Although the regulation has been in place for over a decade, enforcement has been sporadic, and there are still reports of California farmworkers dying during heat waves. But he said the findings suggest there are things employers can do on hot days to prevent workers from getting hurt.

Dillender, who was not involved in the study, said the results offered more reason to be hopeful than previous research.

“They’re finding some evidence that people can adapt, that policy levers can mitigate some of the adverse impacts,” he said.

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA, is working on similar regulation that would protect workers in indoor settings. Although the agency was, by law, supposed to have the rule in place by 2019, it has been repeatedly delayed.

Agree with Ignacio Jesus loves the LGBTQ and so must we. But, celebrating “Pride Month” means focusing on pathology – physical, social and spiritual.

And as Oliver Ignacio states, it also calls out the civil need and responsibility for the health of the LGBTQ. (Daily Republic, July 4, 2021).

Ignacio appropriately is concerned with the statistically significant diseases that are associated with HIV and Covid-19. As a physician, I could not agree more; Ignacio is to be congratulated. And the data cited should not be ignored. These epidemics “disproportionately affect segments of the LGBTQIA+ community.”

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PreP) is emphasized to prevent disease.

But, an even earlier prevention of the physical/sexual and spiritual pathology was not mentioned by Ignacio. Why? Such a foreign concept! Perhaps little interest in such potentially eternal consequences.

The month of June has been promoted by society as well as many governments as a sort of magical “Pride Month.” Since this month of June was so “magical,” we should consider subsequent pride months to focus on such issues as infidelity or fornication. Few people have the desire to honor God’s decrees. But,

Critical race theory is a Marxist Trojan horse, using skin color, rather than the proletariat-bourgeoise conflict, to define the struggle between oppressed and oppressors.

Having been exposed to critical race theory for years while completing my doctorate in education, my experience was that the theory was not taught in the innocuous manner Mr. Wade describes. Rather than considering policy decisions from a perspective of accomplishing the most good for the greatest number of people, critical race theory examines everything through the lens of skin color, essentially rejecting the Rev.

a “day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Mr. Wade makes a strawman argument, generalizing that those opposed to critical race theory, such as “Tucker Carlson and his ilk,” also want to “whitewash the antebellum South, slavery and Jim Crow.”

Perhaps Mr. Wade could name a conservative leader actually proposing we “whitewash” those events in American history.

The GOP he repeatedly attacks is the party that rallied behind Abraham Lincoln to end slavery and battled southern Democrats to eliminate Jim Crow laws.

Mr. Wade, in his review of American history, might have added the United States also sacrificed hundreds of thousands in a civil war to end slavery. Likewise, Jim Crow laws ended almost 50 years ago.

No one suggests our national history is without blemish, but if our nation suffers from the structural racism critical race theory suggests, perhaps Mr. Wade can explain why so many people of color continue to immigrate to the United States, both legally and illegally.

Credit him for acknowledging we need to appreciate how far we have come in making this a more perfect union. Peace.

Solano Voices

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

irtually every day, Gov. Gavin Newsom shows up someplace in California to proclaim, for the umpteenth time, that the state is “roaring back” from the Covid-19 pandemic.

These highly orchestrated events are billed as official state business, but in fact are merely political campaign appearances aimed at persuading voters to support him in the Sept. 14 recall election, mostly by touting one of the multibillion-dollar giveaways in his new state budget.

“As the state comes roaring back from the pandemic, we’re laser-focused on getting this assistance out the door as quickly as possible and providing supports across the board to help Californians get back Dan Walters on their feet,” Newsom said at a stop last week in Southern California to highlight a new program to pay overdue rent.

One could conclude that Newsom, in parceling out cash from an unexpected windfall of revenue, is trying to buy votes with taxpayer money.

There are three troubling aspects to that selfserving effort.

One is that blatant campaigning under the guise of official business is unsavory. While not uncommon in other states, until now California governors have been fairly meticulous about separating official business from their re-election campaign events.

The second is that in spending so much money so quickly, Newsom may be endangering the state’s fiscal health. His predecessor, Jerry Brown, who preached frugality and was wary of launching new programs that could mushroom out of control, warned of the danger this month in a television interview.

Brown said the state faces “fiscal stress” in the years ahead as revenues return to more normal levels. “The word is volatility,” Brown said. “Money comes and money goes. The federal government is going deeper into debt, they are spending money wildly. The state is now spending money. It is not sustainable.”

Brown noted that the state is highly dependent on a relative handful of high-income taxpayers for its revenue, saying, “the growing utter inequality of the economy because the rich people make so damn much money and California happens to tax the rich people disproportionally . . . we need a more frugal, sustainable, more prudent way of doing business.”

Finally, Newsom’s “roaring back” mantra sidesteps the state’s very real socioeconomic problems which, if anything, have worsened during the pandemic. California still has one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates with well over a million jobless workers. We had the nation’s highest level of poverty before the pandemic and it has surely increased.

The major factor in California’s high poverty is the state’s very high cost of living, particularly for housing, but for other necessities as well, such as gasoline and utilities.

Newsom has offered only token and/or shortterm responses to those costs, such as rental and utility bill assistance and cash payments to lowincome families that probably, as Brown warns, cannot be sustained.

The state’s housing shortage continues to put upward pressure on rents and home prices and the $3.5 billion that Newsom’s new budget contains for affordable housing would build fewer than 10,000 units in a state that’s at least 80,000 units short of meeting its own housing quotas each year.

The key to the housing dilemma is making California more attractive for private investment, but Newsom and legislators have ducked the difficult policy choices to encourage such investment, such as reforming the California Environmental Quality Act and rebuffing efforts by construction unions to claim jurisdiction on housing projects.

California will be truly roaring back when unemployment decreases, housing construction increases, the poverty rate declines and educational achievement rises. Until then, it’s just a campaign slogan.

That’s when we see communities change. Crime rates in the neighborhoods drop, relationships are healed, educational success increases and the vision for a better future is renewed.

So, like our Air Force, think seriously about what you’re doing today. Because it’s not just your today that’s at stake, it may be all of our tomorrows.

time that we did rather than waiting until our kids are able to live on their own. Should this really have been more of a whole-family decision, and should we have stayed where we were longer, for our kids’ sakes? — Whose Life Is It Anyway?

Dear Whose Life Is It Anyway: The short answer is that it is your life. But as you know, once you are a parent, your life and happiness often revolves around your children’s lives. Even college-aged children do thrive when their home lives are predictable and stable.

So, it is understandable that your daughter is feeling the way she feels. Try and be sympathetic to her, and maybe make a week or so vacation in your old hometown each summer so she gets to see her old friends.

Dear Annie: Here are some

comments about the mother and grandmother wanting a closer relationship with her daughters-in-law: As you have written, not every combination of people results in a good friendship.

Even some friendships may not last forever.

The young ladies are married to her sons, not to her.

Having a good relationship with your mother-in-law is a plus, but it is not required.

My wife and I raised only sons. As each became engaged, I welcomed the young ladies to the family. I read decades ago in an advice column that “in-law” sounds too much like “outlaw” and emphasizes the “outsiderness” of a person. I told each one that I would avoid referring to them as my “daughter-in-law.”

Instead, I told them they are my daughters and are as much a

part of the family and loved as much by myself and my wife as the three boys we raised.

In return, I invited them to call my wife and me “Mom” and “Dad,” which they do. It’s a small step to help make forever marriages. And as a plus, we have frequent communications and good relationships with all our children and grandchildren. — An Old-Fashioned Dad Dear Old-Fashioned Dad: Thank you for your letter. You started your relationship with your new daughters on the right foot -- welcoming them with open arms as new members of your family. Congrats on that. It sounds like you continue to treat them as your daughters, so it is no surprise that your “old-fashioned” approach is working.

Today’s birthday You try things, produce results, frame them, live with them on your wall – and then the magic happens. You go deeper.

You ask, “So, what?” You turn it on its ear and start all over. The remarkable things you’re able to accomplish in relationships, professional endeavors and more happen out of willingness to invent and reinvent.

Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 14, 38, 1 and 4.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People around you who believe in your magnificence make you work harder to live up to their image of you. It’s a metaphoric treadmill – never-ending strides to no destination that nonetheless keeps you in shape.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s something you need to do, and you can’t afford to wait until you’re motivated to do it. Motivation almost never shows up early to the party of life. It likes to arrive when the celebration is already in full swing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Pleasant circumstances are made more so by the feeling that you’ve earned them. Conversely, unearned luxuries are often taken for granted or accompanied by feelings of vague dissatisfaction to thwart their enjoyment.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The key to growing your energy is to let unimportant things go. You simply cannot do everything. By paring down processes, possessions and priorities, you’ll free up energy for what matters to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep going until you make something you’re 100% satisfied with. Hold onto all the preliminary versions, as this proof of your journey will be helpful to yourself and others in the future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Instead of waiting for useful ideas to dawn on you, you’ll actively search for them. It all starts with questions like, “How can I make the endeavor more fun/less expensive/easier on myself?”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To regard yourself with compassion is the very least you can do. Admiration would be more appropriate. Look at how far you’ve come and what you’ve been able to maintain for so long. Wouldn’t you say it’s worth a pat on the back?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be challenged to come up with a product the others will find not only satisfactory but also worthy of coveting. They will enjoy it with the feeling they’ve achieved an aspirational status.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

The pressure you’re under is exhilarating – just the sort of stress to trigger the opening of deeper resources. Here comes more energy, creativity, optimism and talent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll communicate well with those you wish to influence, using buzzwords they enjoy, visuals to convey commonality, assurances of belonging . . . while still being mysterious, original and distant enough to make them reach.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A simple way to get more joy flowing through your days: Seize the opportunity to tend to your pleasures. This is made much easier when you stop judging what brings you pleasure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Once upon a time, you dreamed of becoming a person who had the very responsibilities you have now. With a change of perspective, the chores become privileges. All the things you have to do become things you get to do.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Chase Crawford took a career aptitude test in high school revealing he was best suited for a career in the performing arts, and his natal stars agree. Crawford is a sensitive Cancer born when the moon and Mercury were in Leo, the sign of entertainment.

Protect your family from lead

People exposed to lead over time can become sick and even die due to high lead levels in their bodies.

L

Dr. Colleen Townsend

Special to the Daily Republic

ead is a metal added to many common materials like gasoline, paint, pottery, dishware and makeup.

People exposed to lead over time can become sick and even die due to high lead levels in their bodies. There is no safe lead level.

Lead poisoning occurs when people swallow or breathe in lead particles that then enter the bloodstream.

Babies and young children are at the highest risk for negative effects from lead poisoning. Lead harms the brain, slows growth and causes hearing, speech, learning and behavioral problems.

There are regulations in the United States that prevent lead from being used in the products mentioned above.

However, lead is still found around us. Lead was used to make pipes that carry water into our homes; these pipes are present in older homes.

Lead pipes are a common source for lead in children with lead poisoning.

Lead dust is found in dirt around older homes that were built and painted with lead-based paint prior to 1978.

Toys, jewelry and even candy from other countries may have lead in them.

Air Force accelerates innovation Project Holodeck Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs ARLINGTON, Va. — In his transformative guidance to the force, “Accelerate Change or Lose,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. provided the strategic imperative to improve innovation pipelines and speed up the service’s decisionmaking process.

As innovation continues apace across the Air Force, service leaders are focused on doing just that — empowering airmen and accelerating the fielding and implementation of innovative ideas into tangible results.

“We are a service that believes in the power of ideas and the power of the innovators who generate those ideas,” said Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin. “Initially, innovators harnessed airpower as a means to overcome the challenges of terrestrial and seafaring battles, and today’s innovators continue that legacy as battlefield lines morph in new and unexpected ways. To the maximum extent possible, we will continue to foster that innovative spirit by aligning airmen with the resources and support necessary to bring forward game-changing ideas that sharpen our competitive edge.”

To provide this level of backing, the Office of the Vice Chief of Staff recently partnered with BeProductable, LLC to develop an innovation management platform that allows the Air Force to align the right people, processes and funding to drive innovation at scale.

The platform, which leverages a Software as a Service interface, elevates ideas and avoids innovation shortfalls by properly aligning people and resources, clarifying value proposition and design, linking innovators with experts, and directing time and money efficiently throughout the innovation process.

“The key to leveraging the power of these ideas is an environment that fosters a culture of willingness to take and support risk along with having the resources needed to move from problem identification to a solution that can be scaled See Innovation, Page B7

Phoenix Spark launches $59 million contract to enhance digital talent pool Chustine Minoda

60th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Phoenix Spark, the Travis Air Force Base Spark Cell, recently launched a $59 million indefinite quantity contract to help create more digitally adept airmen on June 16, 2021, at Travis AFB. The contract was built to enable the new “Travis Coders” team as part of the Tron Air Force & Airmen Coders software innovation network. Travis Coders will consist of both active and reserve service members aimed at building local software development, design, and management capabilities to enable airmen-driven software education, projects, and experiments.

The contract was awarded by the General Services Administration to Galvanize, a technology and modernization bootcamp company that specializes in coding, data analytics, and cyber security implications for software. The objective of this contract is to create a training pipeline that educates and provides software development and data analytics certification for all Department Defense service of members, as well as any federal government employees.

“This contract is an exciting opportunity for us to continue our successful partnership with the DoD through a brand they trust and can depend on,” said Bill Blackstone, Galvanize’s executive vice president of military operations. “We strongly believe our objectivebased education methods and world-class instructors will aid in the digital transformation of the military, allowing us to compete and win against our adversaries in a new digital landscape.”

The Software DevelImmersive opment program is a 12-week course. According to Galvanize, they worked extensively with Phoenix Spark, Platform One,

After successfully developing the program, Galvanize worked directly with GSA to build an indefinite quantity contract that the entire DoD could benefit from.

“The reality is, a lot of what is coming in the future has a lot more to do with digital and artificial intelligence,” said Maj. Eric Robinson, Phoenix Spark director. “If we want to have any hope of maintaining cyber relevancy on a global scale, we need to have people who can understand the digital arena and understand how it relates to the rest of the DoD.” There is no previous experience required to apply to this program, but there will be an

“I definitely understand much more about coding than I ever thought I would,” said Eash. “The first few weeks were rough with an amount of information thrown at me that I have never experienced before – even in the toughest of high-level college classes or crosstraining to become a C-5 flight engineer.

“Overall, it was a great course and great experience working with both officer and enlisted peers from the Navy, Army, Guard and Space Force as well as the civilian instructors who were knowledgeable and genuinely interested in helping us make a difference in the DoD.” This is the first major “software education asa-service” cohort model

“The program gives you a better understanding of how software development works – how the DoD and the Air Force do software development,” said Maj. Jason Taylor, 14th Airlift Squadron director of staff and previous Software Development Immersive program student. “We actually built an app that deployed to a non-secure internet protocol router approved system. If you want to learn something that will allow you to expand your capabilities for the Air Force, this is a great course.”

According to Master Sgt. Eric Eash, 22nd Airlift Squadron flight engineer and a current student in the Software Development Immersive program,

that has been launched for the DoD. In the past, similar DoD efforts had been designed based on a one-on-one model, often costing $400,000 per person to obtain basic digital capabilities for a single person. Under this new model, Phoenix Spark, Travis Coders, and Tron Air Force have joined efforts with other Air Force & Space Force units, Joint Special Operations Units, the National Geospatial Agency, and others to build a model that can drive the per-person cost down to approximately $20,000 per person.

“We don’t innovate because it’s cool, we innovate because it’s necessary to be competitive on a global landscape,” said Robinson.

Pull-up bars installed at Travis AFB North Track Nicholas Pilch

60th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Airmen from the 60th Civil Engineer Squadron and scouts from Boy Scouts of America Troop 150 from Travis Air Force Base installed a 10-person pull-up bar station June 19, here.

“This project was a godsend as the Fitness Center has been trying for years to get funding for pull-up bars at our tracks,” said Tanya McCormick, 60th Force Support Squadron Fitness and Sports Center manager.

Around this same time, a scout troop approached the Fitness Center, having independently identified the need for pull-up bars at the North Gate track, said McCormick.

The scout, Kaid Murray, organized the project with help from his father, U.S. Air Force Col. Dan Murray, previous 60th Medical Group public health emergency officer. The project was to help obtain his Eagle Scout rank, the last rank in boy scouts and required to finish before the scout’s 18th birthday.

“It took about three weeks of planning,” said Kaid. “My dad and I brainstormed different

The four pillars include mental, physical, social and spiritual, which help build and

sustain a resilient workplace and community.

Though Kaid had to complete the logistics and planning for the pull-up bars himself, he had help from 18 troop members and the 60th CES when constructing the project.

“This wouldn’t have been possible without

“Because they were there and everyone else was there, it made it a lot easier than I thought it would be.”

Kaid was excited to both finish his project and be able to help the

airmen on base.

“These pull-up bars will benefit all personnel and family members who use the tracks,” said McCormick.

Contractors are currently installing additional pull-up bars at the Travis Air Force Base Fitness Center.

Brou Gautier, director of Continuous Improvement and Innovation and Spark Tank capability lead for the Air Force. “The chief of staff’s message is clear. It’s time for all airmen to pick up the pace and Project Holodeck will allow us to manage that pace for efficient leadership decision-making.”

During the first phase of the partnership, Headquarters Air Force will employ Project Holodeck’s transformation methodology to build a customized innovation program with the ultimate goal of scaling the process across the service.

The partnership with BeProductable, LLC, includes two phases: (1) a prototyping contract with AF CyberWorx, and (2) a development and pilot phase, known as Project Holodeck,

funded by the Small Business Innovation Research program and SAF/MG, the department responsible for developing and implementing Air Force business transformation initiatives.

“Our goal in this partnership with the Air Force is to set intrapreneurs up with the right innovation process to scale solutions successfully while giving them access to the funding they need to move quickly,” said Rachel Kuhr Conn, founder and chief executive officer of Productable. “We’re thrilled to be working with the U.S. Air Force in the name of national security and are confident that our innovation platform can accelerate the change it needs to win.”

The platform seeks to: n Apply Innovation Intelligence by identifying best practices for solutions in development, analyzing performance data and ensuring money is applied to achieve the best portfolio outcome. n Accelerate decision-making by guiding airmen through

Murray Bass Plan to live

Special friends make life easier

I

t’s time to stop and think about my personal life.

Most guys of my age, visual problems and physical condition would be happy to be sitting in a warm place and eating meals every day.

That’s not me.

How can I keep living what folks would say is a normal life? The life I lead is pretty close to normal.

Answer? Very special friend Larry Welch has opened his heart to me.

I have come to depend on him to take me to places I must go. He is always there when I need him.

Sometimes I almost feel guilty because it feels like I am using him. I finally realized that he wants to help me. He wants to be available for me when I need him.

I thank God that he is a part of my life. A very important part.

Larry and I have become good friends over the years. I enjoy being with him. He probably knows more about Solano County history and people than anyone else I know.

He is willing to share his knowledge.

Yes, I thank God for giving me his friendship.

In a little different way, the same is true of Janet Roberts. Janet is my personal editor that I submit columns for review before I submit them to the Daily Republic.

I love her dearly. She finds the errors that are almost always there and helps me to correct them.

She lets me know when something is good or not good. An old guy like me needs that kind of feedback for some reason.

Without Janet and Larry, I simply could not exist. I’m not sure if I am worthy of their attention and affection. God is being good to me.

Speaking of that, I have to mention that the Veterans Administration has invited me to the Western Blind Rehabilitation Center for training on the iPhone.

That’s in addition to training on my new Windows 10 computer.

If I can control the systems that are available on the iPhone, it will make my life infinitely easier.

I will not only be able to dictate my columns better, I will also be able to accumulate the ideas I have for my book.

Why would an old guy like me write a book? The answer is easier than you think. I have something I want to say that I believe others will benefit from. I might be wrong, but I also might be right.

For some reason, God has been good to me. I accept that without question. I now enjoy the caring help of Larry and Janet.

Only time will tell whether the training on the iPhone will be helpful.

I’m willing to spend three weeks at Menlo Park to try.

I know that daughter Cathy is able to use her iPhone in a way that would be almost magical for me.

I am open to it and believe it will work for me.

Just as Larry and Janet are, figuratively speaking, working for me in a way that is helping me right now.

Jasmine De Moya, left, and Kennedy Johnson volunteered at a New Jewish Home senior living facility in New York as part of a program where they also receive training for health jobs, college prep and career coaching.

Both students are heading to college in the fall – De Moya will train to become a nurse and Johnson has his sights on a degree program that will eventually lead to a law career with a focus on health care.

Teen volunteers get a foot in the door for nursing home careers

asmine De Moya, 17, has dreamed for years of working in the medical field, and she yearned to spend time with older people, missing her grandparents, who live in the Dominican Republic. A program sponsored by the New Jewish Home health system in New York City that combines volunteering and free training for entry-level health jobs, career coaching and assistance on her college prep is helping make her hopes come alive.

Over the past three years, Jasmine has learned a lot about caring for older people, from the importance of speaking slowly and being gentle with frail residents who may have hearing or comprehension problems to how to brush their teeth or bathe them.

“We practiced first with mannequins, so when we actually [worked on residents] I was in shock,” she said. “Cleaning a body and their private areas, I never expected I would do that. But then I got used to it.”

Last summer, Jasmine completed a certified nursing assistant training course.

She has also researched and applied for colleges and student loans with help from an organization that the geriatrics career development program provides to volunteers like her. After graduating from high school last month, Jasmine will start nursing school at Lehman College in the Bronx in the fall. She’ll be the first in her family to attend college.

Since it launched in 2006, the geriatrics career development program has helped more than 700 high school students from 10 underserved schools in New York City get hands-on experience with geriatric care at the New Jewish Home in Manhattan and the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Gardens senior living facility in the Bronx.

Ninety-nine percent of program participants graduate from high school, and more than 150 have gone on to college.

The advantages of the program are also evident for the New Jewish Home, which operates two nursing homes, senior housing and assisted living facilities and a home care business in the New York City area. By familiarizing young people with geriatric care careers, the system aims to address its growing need for workers as the tide of baby boomers enter their later years.

Six of the top 10 fastest-growing jobs in the decade leading up to 2029 are projected to be in health care, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, including home health and personal care aides.

“One of our biggest challenges is that there aren’t enough people who want to work in this industry,” said Dr. Jeffrey Farber, president and CEO of the New Jewish Home system. “People don’t want to work with older adults.”

The New Jewish Home began its career development program for teens 15 years ago with the idea of training and hiring them as nursing assistants, Farber said.

But it has become more than that.

Working a few afternoons a week for three years with older adults, students gain insights into aging and develop relationships with residents, some of whom are assigned

Dominga Marquez, a resident at New Jewish Home senior living, says the isolation forced by the Covid-19 pandemic has been hard. Having the student volunteers there to talk with has helped, she says. as mentors. It also gives students assistance with figuring out career goals and putting the pieces in place to get there.

“I think the students would be successful without us, but we provide the structure and resources to help them succeed,” said John Cruz, senior director of workforce initiatives at the New Jewish Home, who oversees the program.

Students generally must devote two afternoons after school every week and several weeks during the summer, said Cruz.

The program curriculum, developed with Columbia University Teachers College, initially teaches students basics about patient privacy, Medicare/Medicaid and overcoming stereotypes about older people. By the time they’re seniors in high school, students can train as certified nursing assistants and work as paid interns supporting the residents on the days they spend at the facility.

As part of the program, students may also become certified in other jobs, including patient care technician, phlebotomist, EKG technician, and medical coding and billing staff.

The pandemic, however, changed things.

The New Jewish Home in Manhattan was hit hard, with dozens of Covid-19 deaths at the 514-bed facility.

Since volunteers weren’t permitted inside the facility, the home instead hired many of them as part-time employees so they could continue to help seniors. This also gave students a chance to complete the clinical training portion of their certified nursing assistant coursework.

In addition to the program for high school students, the health system created a program in 2014 for people ages 18 to 24 who are unemployed and out of school, training them to become certified home health aides and nursing assistants. Nearly 200 have completed the program and the New Jewish Home has hired three-quarters of them, at a

starting wage of $15 to $19 an hour.

Both programs are supported primarily by grants from foundations.

In February, the state announced that nursing homes could accept visitors again, following federal guidelines. But many nursing home residents still rely on virtual visits, and during the spring Jasmine spent her time helping them connect with their families and other loved ones by iPad or phone.

The isolation was hard on the residents, and students provided sorely missed company. Asked how the students helped her, resident Dominga Marquez, 78, said, “Just talk.”

“We are lonely,” said Marquez. “I have a lot of friends that used to come every week to visit but, with the pandemic, nobody came.”

Kennedy Johnson, 17, said helping seniors experience virtual visits with their families during the pandemic made him realize how much he takes for granted.

“With the pandemic and doing the virtual calls, seeing how these families don’t get to interact with their loved ones every day, that really opened my eyes,” he said.

Working at the New Jewish Home was the first time Kennedy had ever been in a nursing home or seen the kinds of work that staff members do.

In the fall, he will start at Morehouse College in Atlanta and plans to major in political science. His goal: “I want to be a health care attorney so I can represent people . . . like this.”

KHN (Kaiser Health News) is a national newsroom that produces in-depth journalism about health issues. Together with Policy Analysis and Polling, KHN is one of the three major operating programs at KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation). KFF is an endowed nonprofit organization providing information on health issues to the nation.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, July 18, 2021 B9

Shake it off and go about God’s business Rev. Micah Smith

Tri-City Herald (Kennewick, Wash.)

H

eat waves shimmied in rhythm from the basalt lip of rock. It was hot, I was bone tired and – with 21 miles behind me – I still had eight more to go.

A moment’s rest wouldn’t do any harm.

I eased around a wide lip of rock on the bank of a rushing river. Looking for a semi-flat surface to plant my bottom and feet, I said out loud, “Are there any snakes here?”

As it turned out, there were.

Two coiled rattlesnakes were already looking my way.

With a tip of my hat, I carefully backed away and looked for another location.

Snakes are a repeated theme in the Bible. Mentally going over the snake pattern in scripture, beginning in Genesis 3, I did some pondering when I got to Paul’s encounter with a viper in Acts 27.

It was a classic worst-case scenario. First came the hurricane. Then came the shipwreck.

The vessel carrying Paul and 276 others ran aground

Amir Hoso/Dreamstime/TNS

Our once calm, cultural sea has been whipped into a furious tempest, says Rev. Micah Smith. on a sandbar close to shore, and began to break up in the furious waves. While everyone else panicked, Paul kept his head – and his faith – encouraging his shipmates that God would protect them. And He did. Every one of them made it safely to the beach.

Acts 28:3 records that as Paul collected wood for a bonfire, a highly venomous

snake attached itself to his hand.

Watching this drama unfold, a mixed crowd of island natives and refugees immediately made a judgment against Paul, expecting him to drop dead any second. Surely, they speculated, he had done some evil deed, and now karma had caught up with him.

Paul, however, with an almost casual disinterest, shook

the serpent off into the fire and went about his business, causing no small stir among the people.

In a matter of minutes, the apostle’s reputation among the islanders soared from murderous goat into a magnificent god.

But Paul wasn’t about to fall victim to the erroneous judgment of the culture – or become overly flattered by the fickle crowds. He refused to be either a goat or a god.

I can see many similarities between Paul’s experience on that island and the situation Christians find themselves in today.

Our once calm, cultural sea has been whipped into a furious tempest, and many believers have been storm-tossed or shipwrecked altogether. Who can calculate the losses?

Pastors and churches are no longer the driving force for moral and spiritual stability in our multi-religious, polytheistic and diverse culture.

Marooned and snake-bit, we are scrutinized by a culture that assumes the worst.

Will the church finally be silenced and drop dead at any moment?

Some fervently hope it will.

Others go beyond wishing to actively working for its demise, believing the church to be poisoned and doomed.

The apostle Paul didn’t allow a series of multiple disasters to slow him down. He patiently endured his trials, knowing God would be faithful to His Word.

The Lord had told him he was going to Rome, and nothing was going to keep him from that destination. It wasn’t so much that nothing could stop Paul, as it was that nothing could stop God’s will from being fulfilled through Paul.

When you really stop to think it through, it doesn’t really matter whether the culture calls the church – or you and me – a goat or a god. Neither brand is accurate. Neither can derail us.

We need to shake off both the attacks and the flattery, and go about the King’s business.

Our adversaries may attempt to poison and paralyze us – to mischaracterize our motives and our character.

But our mission and purpose remain unchanged.

And so does our destination.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF JOHN LOBAO CASE NO. P050858 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: JOHN LOBAO A Petition for Probate has been filed by AMBER LOBAO in the Superior Court of California, County of SOLANO. The Petition for Probate requests that AMBER LOBAO be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on 08/02/2021 at 9:00 A.M. in Dept. 22 Room N/A located at OLD SOLANO COURTHOUSE, 580 TEXAS STREET, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

Could tarantulas hold secret to relieving chronic pain?

Researchers think so

Tribune Content Agency

Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO — Using $1.5 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health, researchers at University of California, Davis, are looking into whether venom from the widely feared tarantula spider could help relieve chronic pain.

“Spiders and scorpions have millions of years of evolution optimizing peptide, protein and small-molecule poisons in their venom, which we can take advantage of,” said Bruce Hammock, a distinguished professor of entomology who is working on the new pain reliever. “The same venoms that can cause pain and neurological dysfunction can also help nerves work better and reduce pain.”

Hammock has decades of experience in developing a novel approach to relieving chronic pain.

His Davis-based EicOsis earned a Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for development of an oral drug candidate, EC5026, which prevents the breakdown of compounds in the body that keep people from feeling pain out of proportion to their injury.

In total, 20 researchers are studying the potential of venom from one particular spider, the Peruvian green velvet tarantula, to keep pain signals from

Researchers are looking into whether venom from the tarantula spider could help relieve chronic pain. transmitting between nerves and muscles. This spider’s venom has a particular peptide associated with a specific channel that transmits pain, the Nav1.7 channel.

The researchers’ challenge will be getting the protein in the tarantula venom to block the Nav1.7 channels in only the sensory nerves without affecting the Nav1.7 channels in the body’s muscles or brain. It’s about modifying the toxin, they said, to prevent unwanted side effects.

The hope is to find a pain treatment as potent as opioids, but without the addictive properties of those drugs.

“For strong pain, drugs like ibuprofen or aspirin are just not strong enough,” said Heike Wulff, a professor of pharmacology. “Opioids are strong enough, but they have the problem of tolerance development and addiction.”

Wulff and Vladimir Yarov-Yarovoy, a professor of physiology and membrane biology, are leading the team trying to develop the new treatment.

The researchers described their preliminary work as promising, but noted that a lot more work remains. They have been using the Rosetta computer program developed by the University of Washington to create numerous iterations of the tarantula peptide, allowing their team to synthesize and test them in the lab.

“Using the Rosetta software, we can take a natural peptide and then redesign it and make it into a therapeutic,” said Yarov-Yarovoy, an expert in computational structural modeling of peptide toxins. “Our lead peptides already show efficacy at the level of morphine, but without the side effects of opioids.”

Hammock said “no one

scientist could have any hope of tackling a project that is this hard,” praising Yarov-Yarovoy for assembling and interdisciplinary team that can feed off one another and tackle complex puzzles.

Any potential therapeutic candidates will need to be tested in animals to ensure it’s safe and effective for testing in humans, the researchers said, so it will be at least five years before any medication is ready.

Pain medications have a broad potential market.

The Davis researchers note that roughly 50 million people adults in the United States are affected by chronic pain.

Some 11 million people experience high-impact chronic pain that lasts three months or longer and restricts a significant activities such as ability to work outside the home or to do chores around the house.

Greenland dropped all plans for future oil exploration on environmental grounds, saying the price of extraction was “too high.”

The island’s socialistled government, in office since April, has made climate concerns central to its legislative program.

While the decision to scrap planned exploration is a win for environmental groups, it cuts off potential investments that could have aided efforts to gain economic independence from Denmark.

The government “has decided to cease issuing new licenses for oil and gas exploration,” it said in a statement. “This step has been taken for the sake of our nature, for the sake of our fisheries, for the sake of our tourism industry, and to focus our business on sustainable potentials.”

Ten years ago, Greenland had become a hotspot for drillers as a commodity-price boom attracted not only oil explorers but miners of diamonds, iron, rare earths and other metals. But crude’s subsequent crash made extraction uneconomic offshore – where drilling would be hampered by large floating icebergs – and the official ban now puts an end to dreams of energy riches.

Although the Inuit Ataqatigiit ruling party campaigned on seeking greater autonomy from Denmark – which still oversees Greenland’s

foreign, defense and monetary policies – its program has yet to offer a sustainable alternative to Danish economic support for its 56,000 inhabitants, which amounts to about $600 million a year.

The decision to abandon oil exploration comes amid increasingly alarming signs of global warming for Greenlanders. Average sea levels have risen about 9 inches since 1880, and about a quarter of that increase comes from ice melting in the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets, along with land-based glaciers elsewhere, according to a study published in Nature in May. Greenland’s west coast alone is estimated to contain about 18 billion barrels of oil, according to a recent study the Geological from Survey of Denmark and Greenland. The U.S. Geological Survey has previously estimated that there may be double that volume in crude and natural gas in the east.

The island isn’t banning all mineral exploration. Earlier this month, Canadian miner AEX Gold Inc. – already the largest exploration license holder on the territory – applied for another permit to explore for copper and gold in the south. But fossil fuels are out.

A number of other European countries have also scrapped plans for oil exploration in recent years, including Denmark itself, France, Spain and Ireland.
