Will Solano Supervisors take up social justice issues? Not yet Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Demands for Solano County supervisors to take up social justice issues continue to ring out in the board chamber.

A number of callers Tuesday again asked the board to put on a future agenda the issue of appointing a civilian oversight commission to look into whether far-right extremists are working in the Sheriff’s Office, and to vasquez discuss publicly the findings of a recent civil grand jury report that, among other things, noted the general distrust that county residents have for law enforcement.

“The grand jury found that each police administrator (had) ‘deep concern about the lack of trust in the community for law enforcement,’ ” Jean Waker, of Benicia, told the board.

She said that “mistrust” is hampering the

hiring of “under-represented people” into law enforcement, and causing “under-represented people” to leave law enforcement.

The Vallejo Police Department was the only law enforcement agency in the county that was not interviewed by the grand jury.

Another caller said the supervisors are doing the residents of the county an “injustice” by not acting on the matter.

Super visor Monica Brown made a motion April 27 to put the matter on an agenda, but none of the other four supervisors offered a second that would have triggered a vote on the matter.

But the oversight commission is not the only issue to come to the board.

Terry Tucker, of Dixon, also appeared Tuesday before the board, in essence, calling on the supervisors to adopt a resolution

Tri-City NAACP president, said the mission for the vaccine clinic was to help reach those who are traditionally under-represented.

“That usually is the community of color, but this clinic is for everyone no matter race or creed they are,” he said.

“This is a perfect opportunity to focus on youth and teens since the vaccine for Pfizer can be administered to those 12 years and up.”

In the first parison for a rat, think of yourself survey, YouGov asked people as a mouse and your crazy cousin who would win in a variety of as the rat. You know the cousin: animal fights to determine which The family member most likely animals are considered the best

fighters. The animals with the highest winning percentage among matchups were considered the best fighters, so this isn’t science. It’s not based on facts.

It’s based on what people think.

The elephant was considered the most difficult animal to defeat in that survey, followed by the rhino. Both were estimated to win about three-fourths of their matchups, narrowly ahead of the grizzly bear. Cheetahs, by the way, were picked to win 56% of their fights, which shows that we have some work to do to convince people that cheetahs never prosper (Get it?).

Humans, meanwhile, were picked to win only 17% of their fights, a winning percentage better only than the goose (Again.

Have these people never been to a local park and encountered aggressive geese?).

The follow-up survey – the one that provided the percentage of people who thought they could win a fight with a rat –

asked whether people thought they could win a fight against a variety of animals. As mentioned, respondents were confident they could win only against the rat, house cat and goose. Most of us think we’d lose to most animals.

For instance, fewer than 30% of Americans think they could win a fight against a large dog, chimp, wolf or crocodile.

In some ways, maybe the most confounding result isn’t that 61% of people think they could defeat a goose or that 72% are foolhardy enough to think they could outfight a rat. It’s that 6% think they could win a fight with a grizzly bear.

That means roughly one out of 15 people you know thinks he could beat up a grizzly bear in a fight. You know who that includes?

Your crazy cousin. The rat.

Now do you understand why I couldn’t beat up a rat?

COMMENTARY

Some owners go to extraordinary lengths to accommodate their finicky felines The Washington Post

J

ust imagine the complications that Sue Roberts and Richard McCluney of Williamsburg, Va., encounter when ordering a pizza. The main complication is Sherwood, their rescue cat.

The cat came to the family several years ago loaded with inexplicable phobias that they’ve done their best to try to accommodate. Such are the joys of pet ownership.

“Doorbells send Sherwood into a frenzy of terror, growling and hissing and eventually hiding under a bed for hours,” Sue wrote.

“We have taped over the doorbell, to the dismay of friends and delivery persons.”

Since the sound of doorbells on television are just as frightening, they scramble for the TV remote when commercials come on.

Let’s say they don’t finish their pizza. Can they wrap the leftover slices in aluminum foil?

Yes, but since Sherwood has a hatred of foil, they must tear off a sheet somewhere he can’t see or hear it – the porch, usually.

Like my dog, Archie, Sherwood suffers from separation anxiety. The cat waits at the back door for them to return.

God forbid they go out for a pizza.

Wrote Sue: “When we must travel, a loyal friend

Sue Roberts/The Washington Post

Sherwood the cat has so many phobias – doorbells, aluminum foil – that owners Sue Roberts and Richard McCluney of Williamsburg, Va., are eternally vigilant. stops by each morning to read The Washington Post aloud to him. And, no, I am not making this up.”

Sue said that on the advice of the experts at the local shelter, the family adopted a second kitty.

“The idea was that the confident kitty would comfort and teach the anxious one to chill,” she wrote.

Alas, Sherwood has now taught the new cat, Sebastian, to be wary of doorbells and aluminum foil.

Martha E. Powers

and her husband, Larry Gomberg, share their Lake Frederick, Va., home with a 19-pound orange feline named Oscar. Oscar, Martha said, is a CCC: a Counter Clearing Cat. The main living area in their home is nice and open: two easy chairs, two couches, a dining set, as well as the kitchen with its countertops and a very large island.

“When he’s decided it’s time to be fed – at least 19 times daily – Oscar will patrol the counter, howling at anyone within

earshot and knocking off any object weighing less than five pounds,” Martha wrote.

The toaster and coffee machine are too big for Oscar to shift, but canisters are affixed to the counter with a system of nonslip coasters and putty.

“Friends laugh when they visit because our counters and island are almost totally devoid of the usual kitchen paraphernalia,” Martha wrote.

Any object on a horizontal surface is like a bowling pin waiting to be toppled.

Wrote Martha: “The dish detergent, hand lotion and cleaning spray that reside by the faucet are frequent victims: Thunk!

Whack! Thwop! Any tomatoes ripening on the windowsill are at risk, as they provide the added entertainment of falling into the sink and rolling into the drain.”

When Barbara Ryan and Bob Jacobs of Silver Spring, Md., were wed in 2008, Bob entered a union that already had a rescue cat: Auggie.

While Barbara was accustomed to the way Auggie announced he wanted to be fed – jumping on the bed in the middle of the night – that wasn’t something Bob relished. So they tried something. They set up an alarm clock outside their bedroom door and set it for 5 a.m.

“Whatever Auggie did in the middle of the night was ignored, but

when the alarm went off, one of us leapt out of bed and fed him,” Barbara wrote. “Slowly, he began to get the message: Alarm means food.”

They were able to inch the time later and later, until 6 a.m., when they were getting up anyway.

Wrote Barbara: “We knew we had it for sure when one of us got up to go to the bathroom around 4 a.m. and there was Auggie, sound asleep beside the alarm. . . . just waiting.”

Auggie went on to live for a full and happy 14 years. The couple now has new joys – and challenges – courtesy of their Puerto Rican rescue dog, Coqui.

Karen H. Clough recently cared for Merlin, a neighbor’s “operatic/ yowling Siamese.”

Among the supplies that came with Merlin were an antibiotic requiring a syringe and a can of whipped cream.

“Merlin would not take the medicine alone but would accept it if it were mixed in with a rosetteshaped glop of whipped cream,” wrote Karen, who lives in Rockville.

“Herein lies the mystery,” Karen mused.

“How did Merlin teach his humans that whipped cream in a can mixed with an antibiotic is exceptionally tasty?”

Covid case numbers continue to rise; hospitalizations hold

Supervisors have light agenda for Tuesday meeting

Todd R. Hansen

Daily Republic Staff

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — An angry and disgusted Vallejo woman believes Solano County should not only be requiring masks in public places, but in private homes.

The woman, who said she is 94, called the Daily Republic to complain about the article that reported Solano County was not adding to its health guidance the recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the state Department of Public Health concerning maskwearing for everyone in indoor public places.

She said her grandson has refused to be vaccinated, and will not wear a mask. And even though she has been vaccinated, she no longer allows him into her home.

The woman said she believes Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, and the Public Health Division, should be just as tough in its response to the new delta variant of the coronavirus.

Matyas did not issue the recommendation because he said the evidence clearly shows the virus is not spreading at those public locations, but instead, at private social and family gatherings.

Matyas also encourages anyone who wants to follow the CDC and state recommendations to do so.

The woman’s perspective shows the heightened emotions of the latest

More and more counties, for example, are weighing the prospect of mandating face coverings, again. In Texas, the governor warned local officials who tried to enforce such as rule, he would fine them. In Florida, some mayors are defying the governor and instituting their own mask mandates.

Passport Sunday returns for fall event

Passport Sunday 2021 participants

SUISUN VALLEY — Wineries and other valley enterprises will open their doors next weekend for a rolling festival of sorts as the region celebrates Passport Sunday.

The annual event – forced to cancel in the spring of 2020 due to the emerging Covid-19 pandemic – makes its return Aug. 8 to showcase what’s best about Suisun Valley, which on any given day offers city dwellers a place to escape crowded streets and see the country, buy fresh produce and taste wines.

Organizers are limiting ticket sales to 600 people – down from 2019’s attendance of 1,000 – to allow for social distancing at the participating venues. None of the wineries will be serving food. Instead, guests can purchase items from food trucks that will be parked at various locations around the valley. Every venue will have hand sanitizing stations and will follow all Solano County’s Covid-19 safety protocols.

Suisun Valley is located just west of Fairfield.

It has fertile soils with a Mediterranean climate good enough to grow grapes for fine wines, just as in the neighboring, world-famous Napa Valley.

The valley has its scenic attractions, framed as it is by oak-covered hills, with acres of vineyards, orchards and other farming areas. It has buildings such as the 1900, one-room Gomer School, complete with bell tower.

It has small commercial areas such as Manka’s Corner with restaurants and other businesses.

Wine is a big part of the valley. Suisun Valley in 1982 won federal recognition as the Suisun Valley Appellation, making the valley an American Viti-

Several small wineries have tasting rooms.

In addition, other wineries have grouped together to run a cooperative tasting room on Suisun Valley Road.

A big winery is headed to Suisun Valley. The Wagner family, owner of Caymus Vineyards in Napa Valley, plans to build a winery at the very southern end of the Suisun Valley appellation capable of producing 200,000 gallons of wine annually. It plans to bring grapes and wines from other locations to the Cordelia Road site for bottling, as well as grow grapes there.

Suisun Valley Vintners and Growers Association and includes eight venues with 12 different wineries offering visitors the best of their wine and specialty products.

Ticket holders receive a passport map of the participating venues, a custom Suisun Valley wine glass to keep, and a tasting pass for various venues.

Passport Sunday is designed for guests who are 21 or older. People will be asked to show identification prior to admission, which is $50 per person but free for designated drivers.

FAIRFIELD — The Solano division of the California Highway Patrol will host a free online Start Smart Class from 6 to 8 p.m. Aug. 13.

The program will be taught on Zoom, so call 428-2100 to register for the class and get the link to participate.

Start Smart is aimed at helping newly licensed or soon-to-be licensed teenage drivers (15 to 19 years old) become more aware of the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of being a licensed California driver.

The newly licensed teenage driver and their parents/guardians are invited to attend and participate. CHP officers will share candid conversations, discussing topics such as collision avoidance techniques along with collision causing elements such as excessive speed, DUI and distracted driving.

Start Smart makes teens and parents aware of the responsibilities they face and teaches what precautions to take to stay safe, such as the importance of seat belts, passengers in the vehicle and what to do when involved in a collision.

to support them. The chamber does so much for the community. To be a part of and support such a wonderful organization that is doing so many amazing things is very fulfilling.”

The program provides members increased visibility in the community, a better understanding of membership needs, more frequent chamber communication and potential for increased referrals, among other benefits.

Ambassadors meet at 8 a.m. the first Tuesday of every month at the chamber office. To participate, send an email to Marler at corina.marler. e3zq@statefarm.com.

Trump raised $56.8 million in 6 months Former President Donald Trump’s political operation raised $56.8 million from online donors in the first half of the year, but he didn’t contribute any to federal candidates he’s supporting for the midterm elections during that period.

Trump raised $21.3 million through WinRed, the GOP’s platform for online payments, for a joint fundraising committee that benefits Save America, his leadership political action committee and his former campaign committee. He also took in $34.4 million through Trump Make America Great Again Committee, which also benefits the Republican National Committee, an analysis of WinRed’s latest Federal Election Commission filing shows.

Trump’s committees will file mid-year reports with the FEC Saturday. The disclosures will provide the first detailed look at where Trump’s political operation has spent its money through June 30 and for what purposes.

Any money spent after that date will not be disclosed until the next filings are due Jan. 1, 2022.

Save America, which ended 2020 with more than $31 million in the bank, can donate up to $5,000 to congressional campaigns per election. Through June 30, none of the 19 congressional candidates Trump has endorsed reported receiving a donation from it.

50 Murray Bass Plan to live

Participating in parade shows patriotism lives

I

love a parade.

I rode in Rod “Frog” Ferroggiaro’s pickup for the whole route of the July 4 parade in Fairfield.

It was a long day for an old guy like me. It started out a little before 7 a.m. to get The Tax Watchers trailer hooked up to Rod’s pickup. Carla and John Nelson decorated the trailer and it was beautiful.

It took a long time to find out where we were in the parade. It turned out to be number 17. The Budweiser Clydesdale horses were in front of us.

I saw a lot of good-looking horses during the parade. The horses did what was natural to them.Boy Scouts followed them to clean up.

Gina Pastrick estimated there were more than 50 horses and not enough Boy Scouts to keep it clean all the time.

John Nelson carried the banner for The Tax Watchers. It turned out to be kind of funny.

We watched John as he danced around to avoid the equine droppings. It was fun for us but not so much fun for John.

I was impressed by the turnout.My guess is that there were at least 4,000 parade watchers.

Lots of families with young folks there. I was happy to see a crowd like I hadn’t seen in years. I had a good time.

I rode the whole route. There were people all along the route.

In some places, real crowds.

Patriotism is still alive.

It was a joy to meet Bill Colombano’s wife. She is active and charming.

I should mention that the taxpayer’s display was followed by a musical group. A small band that played music all the way. It was a delight, and probably helped John Nelson dance around the droppings.

Some of our Tax Watchers group could not be there.

One was with his wife in Iowa at a reunion. Mary Wells just returned from a reunion of her family in Missouri. Don Pearson was at a special meeting of Realtors and couldn’t attend. One wasn’t physically up to being there.

I think they would have loved the whole show.

For me, the parade was about meeting with old friends. Gina Pastrick and others gave me hugs at the end. Folks I hadn’t seen in a long time. I would do it again just for that.

If you didn’t go to the parade this year, make sure you do it next year. It was a joy for me and I am sure it will be for you.

I’m tired but happy.

Bob Panzer is a tireless advocate for the fight against Alzheimer’s. The disease claimed the life of his mother in 1988.

Fairfield man dedicates time to fighting Alzheimer’s disease Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

T

ry to imagine what it would be like to greet your mother, only to have her stare back without recognizing her own child.

Bob Panzer does not have to imagine it.

That personal reality is one of the reasons he has dedicated so much of his time and energy to the fight against Alzheimer’s, a disease that claimed the life of his mother, Jean Panzer, in 1988. She was 94.

He has described Alzheimer’s as a “public health crisis” during his many appearances before governing boards around the county, raising awareness of the disease and promoting the Walk to End Alzheimer’s and other activities. “(Alzheimer’s) is going to bankrupt Medicare by 2050,” Panzer said.

The American Journal of Managed Care, in 2020, estimated the health care costs related to Alzheimer’s treatment and care to be $305 billion. The Alzheimer’s Association, in 2021, puts that figure at $355 billion.

That does not include the estimated $257 billion in unpaid care provided by about 11 million Americans.

The disease is the fifth leading cause of death in adults older than 65. It kills more individuals than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined, the Alzheimer’s Association reports.

Alzheimer’s and dementia deaths have increased 16% during the Covid-19 pandemic. Between 2000 and 2019,

Aaron Rosenblatt/Daily Republic file (2019)

Members of the community make their way through the Suisun City Waterfront during the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Oct. 19, 2019. Bob Panzer has been involved in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s since 2014. deaths from heart disease decreased 7.3% while deaths from Alzheimer’s increased 145%, the Alzheimer’s Association reports.

More than 6 million people in the United States live with the disease, with more than 650,000 in California, and more than 7,000 in Solano County – the local number possibly doubling by 2030.

Panzer believes the local number could be closer to 14,000 now, noting some estimates indicated the 7,000 individuals is only 45% of the actual number of Solano residents with the disease.

By 2050, without a cure or other critical advances in prevention, an estimated 13 million Americans will have the disease, and the cost will have ballooned to more than $1.1 trillion, the Alzheimer’s Association reports.

That is unless there is a cure or other advancements in the

treatment, about which Panzer is hopeful.

“I don’t expect to have a cure by 2025, which is one of the (Alzheimer’s) Association visions,” Panzer said.

However, he said the memory tests that have been developed and a blood test that is coming will help detect the disease much earlier, and with lifestyle changes, could add decades to an individual’s life.

He also noted there are drugs that help slow the progression of the disease if detected early enough.

Perhaps the greatest advancement with Alzheimer’s is that national financial support has grown from $500 million to $3.1 billion. The other step forward is there is far less stigma attached to the disease.

Mostly gone are the days when people hid their family members and described them as suffering from “old age” and “senility.”

But until he reads the headline, “Another major breakthrough in Alzheimer’s care,” the realities are still grim for the vast majority of those who have the disease.

Panzer, who will turn 82 this month, became involved with the Alzheimer’s Association of Solano County about eight years ago, and has been a central part of support groups, advocacy and organizing the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s and other activities.

“It’s been very rewarding,” said Panzer, who was named the 2021 Solano County Senior Coalition’s Senior of the Year.

Born in New York, Panzer was an infant when his Methodist pastor father, Robert Panzer, brought the family out to Central California. The family moved often from one church assignment to another.

He said he was very close to his mother, in part because growing up he was often sick, with rheumatic fever, chicken pox, measles and other ailments.

“One time she said, ‘I was just keeping you alive,’ “ Panzer said with a smile.

He said he was a want-tobe athlete, but really wasn’t, though he played badminton for 40 years. He also enjoys playing Bridge, and may return to the game with a local club, soon.

Panzer and his wife, Diana, took care of his mother in their home when dementia began setting in, but Panzer admits he was in his own denial when the symptoms first started to emerge.

It wasn’t until he realized that his mother was spending hundreds of dollars See Disease, Page A7

It pays to properly 40-year-old slice of Princess Diana’s royal wedding cake is going under the hammer monitor diabetes

D

iabetes is expensive on many levels.

Nationally, diabetes and its complications are the largest contributors to health care costs and we know at the individual level, it is expensive paying for testing supplies and medications.

It used to be that the complications from uncontrolled diabetes were the most expensive but we now see that with so many new medications and devices, the cost of care is more expensive as well.

Sadly, in the land of plenty, we see regularly that people who cannot afford their medications or who are on fixed incomes, have to make really difficult choices.

They might be modifying when they take their medications, skipping doses or stopping entirely because they can’t afford it, or looking for less-expensive alternatives or alternative therapies.

But living with diabetes and bringing it under control doesn’t have to break your budget.

Consider these four simple ways to cut the costs of supplies and medications: Know your formulary. A formulary is the list of generic and brand name drugs covered by your insurance plan.

It’s worth reviewing your current prescription list against your insurance provider’s formulary, as well as key insurance options, such as copay and approved in-network pharmacies. Always ask if there is a generic brand for your medications. Some oral medications and most insulins now have less-expensive generic versions available.

There are also preferred (covered) diabetes devices and supplies.

There are many glucose meters, for example, on the market and they are all pretty accurate, but it makes sense to find the preferred devices for your insurance, to save on cost. Use the one that is covered and if none are covered, consider using a store brand device.

Buy supplies in bulk.

In today’s world, there are many ways to get testing supplies through the mail by ordering online. There are also several apps that help with medication costs, including Good RX and Advanced Diabetes Warehouse (ADW).

The Washington Post

Jay Shubrook Fit after 50 Search for patient assistance programs.

There are many organizations out there trying to help people cover the costs of the diabetes care. Examples include FamilyWize, which provides no-cost prescription discount cards; Partnership for Prescription Assistance, which helps low-income and uninsured patients get free or low-cost brand name meds; NeedyMeds, a database of patient assistance programs, state assistance mediation discount programs and free or low-cost medical care; and Insulin for Life, a supplier of donated meds and supplies.

Look for manufacturers discounts. There are several insulin companies with programs where patients can get insulin at a lower price, so check to see if the manufacturer has discounts you can take advantage of.

Of course, a diagnosis of diabetes also comes with a needed change in diet and exercise routines and that can have a cost as well.

I tell my patients never to skimp on their belly or feet. Get a good pair of supportive shoes and find a safe place to get out and walk. You don’t need to have a gym membership or expensive equipment.

A 15- to 20-minute walk after every meal is an effective way to lower blood sugars.

And with food, there are ways to be costeffective while buying foods that are healthy for you. Talk with your friends and neighbors, who may know where to find more affordable healthy options. Find a food bank that provides free fruits and vegetables. In addition, you can buy in larger quantities and prepare in bulk and then separate portions and freeze them for use throughout the week.

Finally, remember that your health care provider should be a partner with you and can help you get the care you need and connect you with resources to help your budget, as well.

Jay Shubrook, M.D., is a diabetologist with NorthBay Healthcare.

It is 40 years old, and probably not fit for consumption – but a slice of cake from the royal wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981 is still expected to fetch hundreds of dollars when it goes to auction in Britain next month.

The layer of white cake icing and a marzipan base was given to Moyra Smith – an employee of Queen Elizabeth, the mother of Queen Elizabeth II, who died in 2002 – at the royal residence Clarence House, according to the auction house.

The icing is decorated with a royal coat of arms colored in gold, red, blue,

Mrs. Panzer lived with her son and his wife for the final eight years of her life.

Panzer has a son, Jon, and a daughter, Liz, and two grandchildren, from a previous marriage. His wife has two boys from a previous marriage as well.

Panzer has been in Solano County since 1967, living in Vacaville from 1980 to 2019, when he moved to Fairfield.

A graduate of Occidental College with a degree in political science, a Solano Community College course in early childhood development guided him into a job as a teacher in a preschool education program, a job he truly enjoyed.

Panzer then went to work for 17 years as a social worker with Solano County Child Welfare Services, and 13 years as a deputy probation officer in the county.

He described the social work as a “tough job,” and when he worked with parents who were on probation, “I made sure they were taking care of their children.”

He retired in 1999.

Since Panzer became involved with the Alzheimer’s Association, he takes pride in his work with the support groups, which currently meets monthly, but only virtually because of the pandemic.

The auctioneer, Dominic Winter Auctioneers, has put an estimate on the slice of cake, which weighs in at about 28 ounces, of 200 to 300 pounds (about $300 to $400). It was initially sold to a collector by Smith’s family in 2008 for an undisclosed sum.

“It appears to be in exactly the same good condition as when originally sold, but we advise against

eating it,” the auction house said in a detailed statement describing the auction lot.

This would not be the first time a slice of the royal wedding cake has fetched a high price. Another slice sold 33 years after it was baked for the equivalent of about $1,600 in today’s dollars, according to royalist weekly Hello magazine.

According to the auctioneer for this slice, Smith began her career at Clarence House in the kitchen before moving on to more general duties.

Besides the main official five-tier wedding cake, some 22 other wedding cakes were supplied.

“This seems likely to have been one sent to

Clarence House for the consumption of the Queen Mother’s staff,” the auctioneer said. “In view of its size, it is most likely that it was either from the side of a cake, or from the top of a single-tier cake.”

A royal letter and bottle of commemorative beer that accompanied the cake in its original sale are not included, although the sale does include a printed order of service for the wedding in London’s St Paul’s Cathedral, and a memorial royal wedding breakfast program for Buckingham Palace, dated July 29, 1981. Local media reported the set of items, including the cake, is expected to fetch between 300 and 500 pounds (nearly $700).

The first Walk to End Alzheimer’s was in 2013.

He has been involved since 2014.

After a year as a virtual event, the 2021 Walk to End Alzheimer’s is scheduled Oct. 16 at the Harbor Plaza in Suisun City.

The group has exceeded the sponsorship goal of $30,000 and has raised, all together, more than $70,000 so far.

Prior to the pandemic, the fundraising was as much as $140,000, he said.

Now the focus is on getting area residents to form teams for the walk, and by doing so, raise even more dollars for the cause.

“We hope there is a good turnout,” Panzer said.

calmatters commentary

California now faces criticism from the left

C

alifornia being what it is – a very large state with a complex social and economic matrix and a unique political structure – generates an endless stream of analysis and criticism.

In recent decades, as California veered to the left politically, it drew fawning attention from like-minded media, portraying the state as a harbinger of the nation’s future.

California’s politicians such as Gov. Gavin Newsom fed the notion. “California is what America is going to look like,” he has boasted. “California is America’s coming attraction.”

Naturally, plaudits from the media-left generated backlash from those on the right, who Dan Walters depicted California as a miserable, failing dystopia whose politics, if implemented nationally, would destroy America.

This year, however, the left-right media jousting over California took a new turn – very sharp criticism from pundits and publications ideologically attuned to the state’s deep blue politics.

New York Times columnist Ezra Klein, a Californian by birth and choice, set the new tone in February with an article that catalogued the state’s many social and economic disparities.

“It’s a remarkable place where tomorrow’s problems and tomorrow’s solutions vie with each other for primacy,” Klein wrote. “California drives the technologies, culture and ideas that shape the entire world. But for that very reason, our failures of governance worry me.”

While California professes to seek progressive goals, it has failed to match its words with effective action, Klein concluded.

“California, as the biggest state in the nation, and one where Democrats hold total control of the government, carries a special burden,” he wrote. “If progressivism cannot work here, why should the country believe it can work anywhere else?”

The Atlantic, a magazine usually filled with pro-progressive and anti-conservative articles, has joined the chorus of California’s leftish critics.

One recent article by Caitlin Flanagan castigates the University of California for dropping standardized testing as an admissions factor in the name of racial equity.

“It’s a move so widely hailed by administrators and faculty that you know someone’s getting hustled,” Flanagan writes, “and in this case the marks are the state’s low-income Black and Latino students – the very ones whom the new policy is supposed to help.”

The action, she contends, just covers up the shocking failures of California’s public education system, which she describes as “statesponsored discrimination” that has “robbed students of 13 years and given them little in return.”

California-based Atlantic writer Conor Friedersdorf offers a broader and even harsher critique of the state in an article titled “The California Dream is Dying.”

Despite the state’s many attributes, he writes, “I fear for California’s future.” The generations that benefited from California’s dizzying ascent into global prominence, he says, “should be striving to ensure that future generations can pursue happiness as they did. Instead, they are poised to take the California Dream to their graves by betraying a promise the state has offered from the start.”

While California publicly celebrates diversity and inclusion, Friedersdorf continues, “the state’s leaders and residents shut the door on economic opportunity,” citing a chronic shortage of housing, high poverty, poor educational services, homelessness and other factors that limit upward mobility.

Echoing Klein’s earlier screed, Friedersdorf warns that “blue America’s model faces its most consequential stress test in one of its safest states, where a spectacular run of almost unbroken prosperity could be killed by a miserly approach to opportunity.”

While Newsom still sees California as “America’s coming attraction,” it’s jarring that writers who share his ideological orientation are joining those on the right to warn the nation against emulating the state.

CALmatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

Do they have a death wish?

results during the 2022 voting.

Did conservatives suddenly realize that their anti-vaccination stance, if not killing them off in the red states, is causing their constituents to recognize that Covid is real, sending them to the hospital and ICU in ever greater numbers?

Hospitalizations and deaths in red states from the virus are soaring and are primarily those who didn’t get vaccinated because Covid was pushed hard by the conservatives as a hoax precipitated by the liberals.

Will the same recognition occur among them for their stance on restricting voting before the 2022 election?

Right now it appears they are intent on losing their supporters by restricting them, many who live in rural areas where it is more of an effort to get to a voting location, by making it even harder for them to vote and so perhaps they will stay home. If this continues, it seems long-term potential (2024) is being sacrificed for the short-term (2022) gains they think they will get.

It seems this is based on a false belief about their voters’ anger for a lost election that is quickly waning and likely to continue over time as new legislation is being passed that makes their lives easier with more benefits to come in the future. This is borne out by many polls showing Americans in general (from all parties) like what is being done and proposed.

It will be interesting to see the

Mask up and get vaccinated

Jerry Mulenburg Fairfield

Please get vaccinated and please continue to wear your masks in public indoor spaces.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued a recommendation that people in areas with high transmission of coronavirus wear masks in public places. As of the writing of this letter, Solano County has high transmission of the virus. I don’t see that changing in the near future. The CDC came to this recommendation because of the highly contagious delta strain of the coronavirus. While you have a high degree of protection if you are vaccinated, the vaccines will not prevent 100% of transmission.

Although you are much less likely to get coronavirus and even less likely to get seriously sick, there is still a chance you could catch it. If you do catch the virus, the CDC says you will be able to spread it even if you are vaccinated.

We also have a large number of people in Solano County and everywhere who are eligible to get vaccinated and have chosen not to.

They have no protection from being infected and then transmitting the disease. Our children, those younger that 12, as well as many of our immunocompromised residents are not eligible to get vaccinated. They are

depending on us to protect them.

Monica Brown, Solano County supervisor Fairfield

Sheriff’s Office needs oversight board The Board of Supervisors is doing Solano County residents a disservice and injustice by ignoring the pleas of its citizens to agendize discussion of a Civilian Oversight Board to help the board and citizens better understand and improve our community’s relationship with local law enforcement.

There are multiple areas of concern that need to be addressed: evidence of members of terrorist groups like the 3% in the Sheriff’s Office, the sheriff’s dubious claim that the FBI investigated and cleared his office, and the findings of the recent civil grand jury’s report related to bias in local law enforcement.

Supervisor Monica Brown initiated a motion to look into the creation of this committee, and the board has shown the will to stand for antiracism rhetorically. We must push further, as a community. Please add to an upcoming agenda a discussion about setting up an oversight board, and help Solano County take a stand against the injustice of any kind, but most especially racial injustice.

Dixie fire burns more than 240K acres, Millions in US with hot weather and storms ahead at risk after bid

to stop evictions crumbles

Tribune Content Agency SAN JOSE — The Dixie Fire surpassed 240,000 acres total burned Saturday in remote Northern California as crews braced for hot weather and the threat of thunderstorms through the weekend.

The fire – which started in mid-July about 10 miles northeast of Paradise – is the state’s largest so far this year and now covers 240,795 acres in Butte, Plumas and Tehama counties, according to Cal Fire. It was about 24% contained as of Saturday morning.

Saturday Starting afternoon and through Sunday, temperatures ranging into the 90s were expected to wash over the region, along with potential thunderstorms bringing erratic winds and spotty rain, the National Weather Service said.

“This will be the hottest weather we’ll see in this area – that’s the biggest concern,” said NWS meteorologist Eric Kurth. The thunderstorms, however, are less predictable: “There could be some local periods of heavy rain, but it’s hard to say how that might impact the fire.”

Throughout the week, firefighters have created fire lines along the blaze’s western flank, including the shore of Lake Almanor and the Jonesville and Butte Meadows areas. By strategically burning fuels outside the fire’s main body, the flames have less vegetation to eat up as they expand – therefore helping to protect populated communities beyond the fire line.

That effort contrib-

A man rides his bike past a gas station as smoke fills the sky from the Dixie Fire in Greenville, July 23. uted to “some more black lines on the map” Friday, said Operations Section Chief Mike Wink, meaning higher containment numbers.

“Less fuels means less opportunity to get up the line,” Wink said.

“Those operations are going good.”

All along the Highway 70 corridor, utility companies, Caltrans and tree removal workers planned to spend Saturday clearing debris from roads and assessing damage, Wink said. Residents may also notice big, billowing smoke clouds as more fuels within the blaze’s interior burn off, but he emphasized that doesn’t mean it is spreading significantly outward.

The Plumas County Sheriff’s Office reduced a mandatory warning for Lake Almanor’s east and west shores to a warning, along with various communities west of the Highway 89 and 36 junction. Pratville remained

under an evacuation order, the office said; full details are available here. The Butte County Sheriff’s Office meanwhile lifted the warning for the Pulga and East Concow areas along the fire’s southwestern corner Saturday, but Butte Meadows, Jonesville and Lake Philbrook areas remained under an evacuation order.

To the east, meanwhile, thunderstorms late this week have already contributed to unpredictable spread. As winds up to 40 mph surfaced near Rush Creek Road in the Twain area, previously quiet flames “woke up” and gained more acreage into the burn scar of the 2012 Chips Fire, said CalFire Operations Section Chief John Goss.

Containment lines were holding along Emigrant Road, above Taylorsville, and in the Keddie area to Butterfly Valley, Hambly Ravine and Bean Hill.

Firefighters managed to finish a burning opera-

tion near Emigrant about 30 minutes before new winds arrived Thursday, helping to keep Taylorsville out of harm’s way, Goss said.

Although crews had a reprieve Friday, winds of about 20-30 mph were expected to crop up again Saturday and Sunday. Throughout next week, temperatures will gradually decrease by several degrees – but without the promise of storms, the already-dry humidity levels could go down even more.

Still, Goss ended on a small note of encouragement: In the Bucks Lake area, which had been threatened earlier this week, crews have contained the fire’s edge and entered the “patrol status” stage of firefighting.

“We’re at a point where we’re starting to pull all the excess hoes and pumps to get them back to the fire camp to get refurbished and put back on the line if needed,” Goss said.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s bid for a lastminute extension of an eviction moratorium for renters collapsed Friday, leaving millions of Americans at risk of losing their homes after the ban lifts on Saturday.

Pelosi’s efforts, coming on the heels of a public plea made Thursday morning by President Joe Biden, marks a rare political defeat for the speaker, who has exercised tight control over House Democrats.

The California Democrat spent much of the day Friday trying to unify her caucus behind legislation to extend the moratorium until Oct. 18 but ultimately came up short. The House adjourned without taking up the bill.

“There was a lot of support by the caucus but not enough,” said Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, chair of the Financial Services committee. The deadline was no secret on Capitol Hill or at the White House, and Republicans as well as some Democrats faulted Biden for waiting until Thursday to speak publicly on the matter.

Pelosi in a news conference after the House adjourned said Democrats “will not forget this issue.” She added that she hoped that as more federal aid flows

to tenants and landlords there would be less of a need for the government to stop evictions.

Shortly before the House adjourned, Biden implored states and localities to spend their money “immediately” to forestall an eviction crisis.

Pelosi and her leadership team spent much of the day pressuring Democrats as they tried to find the votes with most Republicans opposed.

“We’re counting, we’re counting,” Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said earlier in the day.

At the same time, landlords were pushing hard against any further extension of the moratorium, calling it “unsustainable” for mom-and-pop owners in particular.

“While well-intentioned, the national eviction moratorium has made providing rental housing unaffordable for many property owners,” the National Multifamily Housing Council said in a statement.

Congress has approved $47 billion in rent relief funding since December, but state programs to distribute that money have been mired in bureaucracy and miscommunication, a growing frustration for tenants and landlords alike.

So, millions of Americans could find themselves in eviction proceedings as soon as Monday.

Even for athletes with family in Tokyo, separation a part of these Olympics Jorge Castillo LOS ANGELES TIMES

TOKYO — Lauren McGough left her Tokyo apartment with her 10-month-old daughter Dakota on Wednesday on a mission to see her husband, Scott. They took the train for six stops before jumping into a taxi for a 10-minute ride.

The five-mile trip took

25 minutes.

Lauren hoped they’d get close enough to have Scott, a pitcher for the U.S. baseball team, wave at them from across Tokyo Bay. But she couldn’t see him when they reached a gate to the Olympic Village. Barriers blocked the view. They settled for a FaceTime session.

“That’s about as much Olympic fun as any

family member will be having, I guess,” Lauren McGough said.

Most foreign athletes in these Games don’t have close relatives in the country after foreigners were barred from entering Japan to control the spread of the novel coronavirus. There are just a few known exceptions among Team USA’s delegation of 613 athletes.

Gymnast Jade Carey’s father, Brian, made the trip as her coach. At least two swimmers – Brooke Forde and Michael Andrew – have their fathers in Tokyo. Forde’s father, Pat, is a writer for Sports Illustrated.

American Legion Western Regionals open Wednesday Paul Farmer

Western Regionals

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — After a two-year wait, the American Legion Western Regionals return this week to Laurel Creek Park.

The Fairfield Expos, who hosted the event in 2019, were set to welcome and do battle against champions from seven Western states – California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Hawaii and Texas – again last season only to have it all wiped out by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Champions from those same states will be in town this week as the Expos are set to host the Western Regional for the sixth time and are scheduled to do likewise in 2022 and 2023.

Expos manager Brad Hanson said the 2020 situation was “really tough since we built the team for last year. We were loaded and ready to challenge for a national championship.

WEDNESDAY’S GAMES • Utah vs. Hawaii, 9:30 a.m.

• Arizona vs. N. Mexico, 12:30 p.m.

• Texas vs. California, 4 p.m.

• Fairfield Expos vs. Nevada, 7 p.m.

“This season we only have three returning players – fewest ever – so we started over.

However, they have learned quickly and are competing favorably with the older, more talented teams.”

Through Saturday, with one tuneup game left on their schedule, the Expos are 50-19 and have a tough matchup in the first round against the Nevada state champions on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

“Our opener is against the Southern Nevada Tribe (Las Vegas area) and they have won several (regionals),” Hanson said.

Wednesday’s earlier games feature Utah vs. Hawaii at 9:30 a.m., Arizona vs. New Mexico at 12:30 p.m., and Texas vs. California at 4 p.m.

There are four games scheduled for Thursday – loser’s bracket at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., winner’s bracket at 4 and 7 p.m.

Three games are scheduled on Friday at 9:30 a.m., 4 and 7 p.m., with two on Saturday at 4 and 7 p.m. and the championship round on Sunday at 1 and 4 p.m., the latter if necessary.

The Expos have advanced to the American Legion World Series twice – in 1993 and 1997 – and have reached the regional championship game nine teams.

“We had a 1-0 lead in the regional championship game in 2012 but lost 3-1,” Hanson said.

The regional winner advances to the 94th American Legion World Series, which is scheduled to be played Aug. 12-17 in Cary, North Carolina.

Expos sizzle down stretch, sweep Reno EPB in doubleheader Daily Republic staff

SPORTS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield Expos baseball team prepared for hosting the upcoming American Legion Western Regionals by taking a doubleheader from Reno EPB at Laurel Creek Park, Saturday, winning 10-1 and 8-3.

In the opener, the Expos (50-19) erased an early 1-0 deficit with two runs in the third inning before adding five in the fourth, two in the fifth and one in the sixth.

Alex Carver tied the game in the third with a sacrifice fly that plated Aidan Robles and DJ Scott put the Expos ahead to stay by doubling in Jace Parkinson.

In the fourth, Robles

LOCAL REPORT singled in a run before Reilly Ramirez and Carver both followed with two-run singles.

The Expos tacked on runs on an error and a Robles sacrifice fly in the fifth with Blake Bozzini doubling in the final run in the sixth.

Scott, Bozzini, David Abilez, Robles and Parkinson each finished with two hits with both of Bozzini’s going for doubles and Scott adding a triple.

Grant Kerr went the first four innings to get the win, allowing five hits and one run with two strikeouts and one walk. Drew Carrington tossed three scoreless innings in relief to get the save, yielding one hit and one walk with

three strikeouts.

In the second game, the Expos trailed early 2-1 and 3-2 before scoring the final six runs of the game.

Eli Blurton gave the Expos an early 1-0 lead by plating Carver with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first. After Reno EPB scored twice in the top of the second, Carrington tied the game at 2-2 by singling in Ramirez with two outs in the third.

Reno EPB took its last lead with a run in the top of the fourth, only to have Trevor Morse plate Peyton Olds with a sacrifice to tie it again at 3-3.

The Expos took the lead for good in the fifth when Scott scored as Carrington reached on an error, Carrington came

in after the infield fly rule was called on a ball hit by Olds and Morse drew a bases-loaded walk to force in Blurton.

Gabe Ponce accounted for the final scoring with a two-run single in the sixth.

Scott, Carrington and Ponce each had two hits to lead the Expos.

On the mound, Dayton Hicks started and went the first five innings, allowing three runs (one earned) and four hits with two walks and two strikeouts. Bryce Dichoso closed things out with two scoreless innings, surrendering two hits while fanning two.

SAN FRANCISCO — When the Giants acquired former National League MVP Kris Bryant moments ahead of Friday’s trade deadline, the organization was hopeful the former Cubs star might be able to make it across the country in time to play a role in Saturday’s game against the Astros.

After the Giants and Bryant arranged travel plans on Friday evening that scheduled him to arrive late on Saturday afternoon in the Bay Area, the team determined it would play one more game without the slugger’s services.

They used Saturday’s matchup with the Houston Astros to give Bryant a preview of what kind of an offense he’d be joining.

With home runs from Donovan Solano, Wilmer Flores, LaMonte Wade Jr., Darin Ruf and Mike Yastrzemski, the Giants overcame a rough start from Alex Wood to pick up an 8-6 victory

over Zack Greinke and the Astros.

The power surge came at the end of a four-game home run drought for San Francisco, which marked the longest stretch without a homer in the Gabe Kapler era.

The most important hit of the day for the Giants was one of the nine they had that didn’t clear an outfield fence as shortstop Brandon Crawford delivered a two-out, go-ahead single in the bottom of the sixth against Cristian Javier.

Wood gave up a pair of home runs to Astros third baseman Aledmys Díaz and reliever Jay Jackson allowed a solo homer to catcher Martín Maldonado, but by blasting five home runs of their own, the Giants ensured their 3-game lead in the National League West over the Los Angeles Dodgers would remain intact for at least another day.

Jaime Barria, Raisel Iglesias lead Angels to 1-0 victory over A’s Tribune Content Agency ANAHEIM — Joe Maddon has repeated the phrase time and again this year, especially when the Angels have faced the Oakland Athletics.

“You have to pitch better than good pitching,” the manager would say.

And on Saturday, his team finally followed through.

As usual, the Angels struggled to do much at the plate against the A’s staff, scoring just one run on five hits. But this time, their pitchers were better, with Jaime Barria, Steve Cishek, José Quijada and Raisel Iglesias combining to throw just the team’s second shutout of the season in a 1-0 win.

Now the Angels (52-52) can now try to salvage a four-game series split against the A’s (59-47) on Sunday and get back within five games of the second American League wildcard spot currently in the A’s possession.

Barria was the cat-

alyst Sunday, pitching 6 2/3 scoreless innings in his second start of the season. Using a mix of fastballs and sliders, the right-hander gave up only four hits and one walk and hit one batter while striking out three. He further strengthened his case to stay in the Angels’ rotation too.

Shohei Ohtani gave the Angels the lead in the third inning with an RBI double — the first run the Angels had scored in the series. Then the bullpen managed to hold on late.

Cishek inherited a bases-loaded jam in the seventh but got Mark Canha to fly out and end the inning.

Quijada served as the setup man in the eighth and erased a leadoff single by inducing a double-play grounder.

Quijada was lifted after giving up a two-out double to Ramón Laureano that barely clipped the top of the wall, with Iglesias entering the game to convert a fourout save – his 22nd of the season.

NHL to investigate allegations Sharks’ Evander Kane gambled on games Tribune Content Agency SAN JOSE — The NHL announced Saturday that it will conduct a full investigation into allegations made on social media that Sharks forward Evander Kane gambled on league games.

The social media posts, appearing Saturday afternoon in Instagram stories on an account belonging to Kane’s wife, Anna, said Kane gambled on Sharks games.

The NHL issued the following statement: “The League was made aware this evening of a post on social media alleging that San Jose Sharks Player Evander Kane bet on NHL games. The integrity of our game is paramount and the

League takes these allegations very seriously.

“We intend to conduct a full investigation and will have no further comment at this time.”

One of the Instagram posts from the account of Anna Kane was directed to the NHL. “How does the NHL let a compulsive gambling addict still play when he’s obviously throwing games to win money? Hmm maybe someone needs to address this.

“Can someone ask (Commissioner) Gary Bettman how they can let a player gamble on his own games? Bet and win with bookies on his own games?”

The social media account is followed by some Sharks staff

members and many wives and girlfriends of Sharks players. A source confirmed that it is Anna Kane’s account.

In her posts, Anna Kane also alleges that her husband has abandoned her and their infant daughter and forced her to sell her wedding ring in order to meet her expenses. Their home has been foreclosed, she said.

“This is when the addiction is more important then (sic) anyone and everything,” she wrote.

“My heart goes out to anyone who has to deal with loved ones addicted to anything in any form who put that before their own family. . . I wouldn’t wish this pain or any of this on anyone this is a living nightmare.”

The Sharks, in a statement, said they have “been in contact today with the National Hockey League about the serious allegations made against Evander Kane.

We support a full and transparent investigation into the situation to maintain the integrity of the game and consistency with our team values.”

It is unclear when the league’s investigation might begin or how long it might last. Efforts to reach Kane’s agent Saturday were unsuccessful.

Questions about Kane’s gambling habits began to arise in 2019 when The Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas sued him in regards to See NHL, Page A13

Athletes: Upset, but ‘can’t be too angry’ From Page A10 allowed to see her father in the mixed zone from six feet away. Andrew and Carey’s fathers are in the Olympic Village.

Scott McGough is in another category; his wife and daughter are in the country, but they’re not permitted near him until he leaves the Olympic Village for good.

He left his wife and daughter at their Tokyo residence and entered the Olympic Village last Thursday. He considers himself fortunate.

“It’s been difficult, but you can’t be too angry about that,” McGough said. “A lot of the guys have been asking me, like, ‘Hey, how did your wife do it? What can my family do?’ ” McGough, a 31-yearold right-hander, is an exception because his wife and daughter were given a medical exemption to enter the country last month that traces back to last year.

McGough has played for the Yakult Swallows for the last three seasons.

Lauren was already with him in Japan last year when the coronavirus began spreading, forcing

the country into a shutdown. She left for the United States last August to give birth to Dakota.

That was considered a medical reason and – after paperwork trouble nearly derailed her hopes of returning this year – she was afforded reentry even during the pandemic.

Lauren and Dakota landed on June 28. They were subject to a three-day quarantine in a Japanese government hotel in Yokohama before continuing the quarantine for 11 more days at their apartment in Tokyo. The Swallows didn’t allow McGough to be with them until the quarantine ended, so he crashed at teammate Albert Suarez’s apartment.

Most other foreign players in the Nippon Professional Baseball league are in Japan without their families.

Nick Martinez and Tyler Austin, the other two players in the Japanese league on the U.S. roster, don’t have their families in Japan. Austin said his wife could receive clearance to join him, though he didn’t know when or the reason for the potential change to her entry status.

Last month, former Major League Baseball All-Star first baseman Justin Smoak, a marquee offseason free-agent acquisition for the Yomiuri Giants, left the team in the first year of a two-year, $6 million contract to return to the U.S. to be with his wife and two daughters.

This week, after thousands of foreigners entered the country for the Olympics, Seibu Lions first baseman Ernesto Mejía announced he wouldn’t return to the club after the league’s Olympic break because he couldn’t bring his family with him.

“This is just a difficult situation for everyone,” McGough said. “Some things don’t make sense to me. . . . But who am I to decide that? I’m not a doctor. I’m not seeing the case numbers and I’m not doing that stuff. So I just leave that to the experts and just play ball.”

Taken by the Dodgers in the fifth round of the 2011 draft, McGough broke into the majors with the Miami Marlins in 2015. He appeared in six games and hasn’t made it back to the big leagues.

He’s having his best

season in Japan this year, posting a 2.39 earned-run average in 39 games for the Swallows. The performance earned him an All-Star selection.

Lauren and Dakota were able to attend the first of two All-Star games. It was held at MetLife Dome, about an hour from their apartment, and they were two of the 8,992 fans in attendance. It was the first time Dakota ever watched her dad pitch in person.

Lauren said they would’ve gone to the second game, too, if the trip to Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi – more than four hours each way – wasn’t so long.

They aren’t allowed to watch Scott pitch in person in the Olympics, but the mother and daughter traveled the hour down to Yokohama Stadium on Friday afternoon to see Team USA arrive for their Olympic opener against Israel.

They waited outside of the stadium, near where buses drop off the teams.

This time, they caught a glimpse of Scott. They waved before returning to Tokyo to watch the Americans’ 8-1 win on television.

Giants: Yastrzemski rips 17th HR in 8th From Page A10 record set on September 24, 2019 when the Giants hosted the Rockies. Saturday’s game marked the second time the Giants have hit five homers in a game at Oracle Park this season, with the other coming on June 16 against the Diamondbacks.

Prior to 2021, the Giants had only hit five homers in a game twice in the two-decade history of their waterfront ballpark.

Entering Saturday’s game, Greinke had made eight career starts and logged 53 innings in San Francisco and had never given up a home run at Oracle Park.

The six-time All-Star had allowed home runs at defunct ballparks such as

the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Turner Field in Atlanta and the old Yankee Stadium, but he’d dominated the Giants and posted a 1.19 ERA at China Basin in large part because of his ability to keep the ball in the park.

The Giants’ first homer of the day came from Solano, who stands to be among the players who will have their playing time reduced when Bryant arrives because the Giants will likely use second base to find at-bats for Flores, Thairo Estrada and Tommy La Stella upon his return from the injured list.

A solo shot into the left-field bleachers from Solano put the Giants on the board in the second before Flores tied the

game at 3-3 with a high flyball that had just enough carry to it to clear the left-field fence. After circling the bases, Flores was unable to return to the field in the top of the fourth as the Giants’ third baseman exited the game with lower back tightness.

Kapler said Flores is “day-to-day” and the Giants hope he’ll be available off the bench for Sunday’s series finale.

The next two homers Greinke gave up were no-doubters as Wade’s majestic blast into McCovey Cove marked the first splash hit of his career while Ruf’s 386foot solo home run carried several rows into the leftfield bleachers.

Wade’s go-ahead two-run homer in the

fourth off Greinke made him the fifth different Giants player to launch a home run into McCovey Cove this year, which marks a new single-season record for the franchise.

The six runs the Giants scored off Greinke tied the Detroit Tigers’ output on April 12 for the most the 18th-year veteran has allowed in a game this season. In 22 starts against San Francisco prior to Saturday, Greinke had never allowed more than four runs in a game.

Yastrzemski was the only Giants player who homered against a pitcher other than Greinke as he hit his 17th homer of the season in the eighth inning off reliever Yimi García.

These latest fatalities bring the death toll in connection with the fires to six, the state news agency Anadolu reported.

Ten fires are still active, including three in the province of Antalya, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Bekir Pakdemirli said on Twitter on Saturday.

From Page One denouncing critical race theory because it violates the U.S. and state constitutions’ shields of harming individuals and protected populations.

In this case, Tucker said, critical race theory would “ridicule,” “harass” and “shame” whites. He also likened the potential of creating a system of reverse apartheid in the country.

“Let’s not invert this and make this a color-coded society,” Tucker said.

Nimat ShakoorGrantham, a later caller and a leader in the Black Lives Matter movement in Benicia, also called on the board to agendize the oversight commission issue.

She then challenged Tucker’s arguments and said when it comes to Blacks and other people of color, the United States is already in violation of the constitutional provisions cited by Tucker.

“Keeping the true history of people of color outside of the public school system makes children of color, including myself, suffer from low self-esteem,” ShakoorGrantham said.

She said the systematic racism in the country causes character assassination of people of color and keeps them economically disadvantaged. She argued that teaching “true history” does not shame whites, but rather exposes actual truth.

The comments all came during the public comment periods of the meeting,

and while supervisors do respond occasionally to those remarks, they were silent on the social justice matters.

Board Chairman John Vasquez did respond to another topic, correcting a speaker’s assertion that the board had adopted a resolution or passed an ordinance doubling to $10,000 the amount of general fund dollars each board member can distribute to community groups.

George Guynn Jr., of Suisun City, suggested the money could be used to influence support in future elections.

Vasquez justified what was a unanimous budget hearing action by saying the funds go to help groups that help their communities, and with the Covid-19 pandemic, those organizations found it that much more difficult to raise money.

Attempts to reach Vasquez for comment on agendizing the oversight commission discussion were not successful.

In other matters that came to the board from the public: n Larry Ryland called on the board to put more teeth in the county’s noise policies, complaining that he often has to use earplugs to get sleep – even with a closed-up house – because of loud late-night parties, some more than a mile away. He also asked for more enforcement of existing rooster laws. Vasquez noted the county is working on a noise ordinance. n A representative of Empower Solano called in to support a stronger push for Covid-19 vaccinations.

Saginaw Grant, a prolific Native American actor who won a lifetime achievement award at the Oceanside International Film Festival in 2014, has died. He was 85.

“It’s with heavy hearts we announce a warrior has been called home,” read a note shared Wednesday on his official Facebook page.

Grant, the hereditary chief and medicine man of the Sac and Fox tribe, “traveled the world speaking of his traditions, his experiences, his sobriety and his faith as both a Native American and a Christian,” the note added.

Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death.

Covid-19 vaccines in use in the U.S. are effective at preventing infection and highly effective at preventing hospitalization and death among those infected, federal, state and local health officials report.

The vaccines are also effective against the delta variant at preventing hospitalization and death, health officials report.

The CDC reported this week that vaccinated people who are subsequently infected with the delta variant of the coronavirus are capable of transmitting the virus to others. That finding, along with a surge of new cases and hospitalizations driven by the highly transmissible delta variant, led the CDC to change its guidance on wearing face coverings.

Still, the vast majority of people who contract the disease recover.

White while serving as city manager in Fairfield built back that city’s organization after the Great Recession. There, he also advanced a citywide strategy to address homelessness, oversaw a large capital project portfolio and prioritized fiscal health and community engagement, according to the press release.

He spent 10 years in leadership capacities in Fairfield, including assistant city manager, finance director and senior project manager for economic development, prior to serving as city manager.

“I am excited and humbled to serve the city of Santa Monica as its city manager,” White said in the press release. “Santa Monica is a wonderful commu-

nity and I am eager to engage and work closely with the City Council, staff, residents and businesses implementing City Council’s top priorities – achieving a clean and safe Santa Monica, addressing homelessness, and ensuring an equitable and inclusive economic recovery.”

White, a native Los Angeleno, grew up in Studio City and graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and anthropology. He holds a master’s degree in city planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. White will relocate to Santa Monica with his wife and daughter and said he looks forward to “coming home” to Southern California.

As city manager, White will oversee a total city budget of $705.5 million and a workforce of 1,923.

White was not Santa Monica’s first choice as city manager.

René Bobadilla, city manager in Montebello, had been the City Council’s choice to serve as city manager but dropped out of contract negotiations in June to remain in Montebello.

White replaces Rick Cole, who resigned as city manager in midApril 2020 and since June 1 of this year has served as executive director of the Congress for the New Urbanism in Washington, D.C. Santa Monica has been led by a pair of interim city managers since Cole’s departure 15½ months ago.

White’s contract, approved by a unanimous vote of the Santa Monica City Council, calls for a base salary of $340,000 per year.

$500,000 in unpaid gambling debts. The suit was dropped in April of last year.

In January of this year, Kane filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy listing assets totaling just over $10.2 million and his liabilities at over $26.8 million. According to the petition, he lost $1.5 million due to gambling “at casino and via bookie (sports betting).”

In March, Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said Kane “is getting guidance and support in the areas that he needs.”

Kane, 29, has four seasons remaining on the seven-year, $49 million deal he signed with the Sharks in May 2018. This past season was among his best in 12 NHL seasons, as he led the Sharks in goals (22), assists (27) and points (49).

Senate Saturday action stalls as infrastructure bill remains unfinished Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate aims to pass next week a bipartisan $550 billion infrastructure bill that is a cornerstone of President Joe Biden’s economic agenda, even as negotiators continued to write the legislation into the weekend.

Senators convened for an unusual Saturday session, but bipartisan negotiators failed to produce a bill by midday to allow an amendment process to begin.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer urged the group to finish their work and said there would be an update later.

“The longer it takes to finish, the longer we will be here,” the New York Democrat said. “But we are going to get the job done.”

The legislation was formally put up for debate Friday, a milestone after weeks of stop-and-go negotiations. The 66-28 vote to move ahead reflected the broad bipartisan support for the plan in the evenly divided Senate.

Still, lawmakers weren’t able to meet a self-imposed goal of finishing the text of the bill Friday afternoon, and there will be days of debate on amendments that will push a final vote on the legislation to late next week.

Senate passage of the infrastructure bill would set the stage for later consideration of a budget resolution that could facilitate the rest of Biden economic agenda, a $3.5 trillion overhaul of policies on climate change, taxes, health care, immigration and other Democratic Party priorities.

Under Senate rules,

Democrats will be able to get that approved without Republican votes, if they can stay unified on the size and scope of the package. Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders said he anticipates the Senate will cancel the first week of its scheduled August recess, set to begin the week after next, to vote on it.

Schumer on Friday called the infrastructure package “a massive down payment toward rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure.”

“With the cooperation of our Republican colleagues, I believe we can finish the bipartisan infrastructure bill in a matter of days,” Schumer said.

The legislation, which would mark the biggest investment in infrastructure in decades, was negotiated by the White House and a bipartisan group of senators led by Democrat Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Republican Rob Portman of Ohio.

The legislation includes $110 billion in new spending for roads and bridges, $73 billion of electric grid upgrades, $66 billion for rail and Amtrak, and $65 billion for broadband expansion. It also provides $55 billion for clean drinking water and $39 billion for transit, among other areas.

The legislation’s supporters say its costs would be fully offset, in part by re-purposing $200 billion in unspent Covid-19 relief funds, sales from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, higher customs user fees and more reporting requirements on cryptocurrency transactions.

It also taps a number of budget gimmicks, like counting revenue from

future economic growth.

Several Republican senators, including Rick Scott of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas, have blasted the measure’s overall price tag and said they would oppose it. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, one of the Republican negotiators, criticized the “inconsistency” of his colleagues who were all-in for former President Donald Trump’s idea for a $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan but aren’t supporting this package.

“If Republicans were on board for former President Trump, we are one-third the cost and have it paid for, it seems like something that should be acceptable,” Cassidy said on Bloomberg TV. In Friday’s vote, the second procedural hurdle for the infrastructure plan this week, 16 Republicans – including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell – voted with all 50 senators who caucus with Democrats in favor of advancing the bill.

A half-dozen Republicans didn’t vote: James Inhofe of Oklahoma, Rand Paul of Kentucky, James Risch of Idaho, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Marco Rubio of Florida and Roger Marshall of Kansas. Risch had on Wednesday voted to advance the bill and Rounds supports the framework agreement.

Senate leaders and the negotiators dealt with last minute glitches that caused a slight delay before the vote to move forward on Friday.

Among those were last-minute changes to language on a provision for grants to states to build out broadband internet and funding for water projects.

FHS grad brings Neil Diamond tribute to Fairfield Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Marshall Matthews spent a few years living in Green Valley and graduating from Fairfield High School.

He returns this month, after spending much of his adult life in the Midwest, as Neil Diamond.

The Vietnam War veteran went on to serve as a police chief.

A psychologist friend, who was an Elvis tribute artist, liked what he heard when Matthews sang along to Elvis tunes on a jukebox.

“You sound more like him than I do,” the friend told Matthews.

After much persistence, Matthews joined his friend for an Elvis tribute show.

“We called ourselves, Elvi,” Matthews said.

When the performance was over, music Matthews was taken aback at the overwhelming response.

He enjoyed it so much, Marshall he started to work as an Matthews as Neil Elvis tribute artist, and Diamond still does.

7:30 p.m. Aug. 14 Matthews thought to Downtown Theatre himself, “This is pretty courtyard, cool. I can make people 1035 Texas St. laugh and happy. I wish www.downtown I could do that when I theatre.com arrest someone.”

After a few years, he decided he needed a band and wanted to make a show from it.

Prior to retiring in 2015, Matthews would book his Elvis tribute shows on the weeks he was on vacation.

About six years ago, Matthews added Diamond to his repertoire. He traveled to the Bay Area to perform and came across Green Valley neighbors Brad and Cathy Ritch. They hired him to sing at their 25th wedding anniversary celebration.

The couple connected Matthews with promoter Jeff Trager, who booked him for an outdoor show Aug. 14 in the Downtown Theatre courtyard.

When asked his favorite Diamond song, Matthews quipped, “The Next One,” as in the next one he sings.

The Fairfield audience can expect a bevy of Diamond tunes, including “Coming to America,” “Holly Holy” and “Sweet Caroline,” to name a few.

“Like Elvis, he (Diamond) has so many good songs,” Matthews said. “But Elvis didn’t write his own songs.”

Matthews emphasizes he’s a tribute artist whose goal is to look and accurately sound like the artist he’s emulating.

“I am really excited about this show,” Matthews said.

He has several friends and acquaintances in the area.

“I expect quite a few will show up,” he said.

Matthews has an album coming out in October, “Just Some Songs We Like,” featuring original music as well as covers.

He released a new music video in July of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” which can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=-axpGMSHk5w.

He has two “wonderful” adult children and four “adorable” grandchildren.

Matthews often worked personal security for celebrities, including Harrison Ford, when he lived in Wichita, Kansas.

VALLEJO — Rex Navarrete is happy to be on stage again.

The comic did his first live show June 12 after being sidelined by the pandemic. He returns Friday to the Empress Theatre.

“It was like being released from prison,” he said in jest. “Like you got a 48-hour pass.”

Navarrete tried virtual performances.

“It was not fun,” he said. “I don’t know how we did it. Zoom came at the right time but it was terrible technically. Good for business meetings, not live comedy. Live comedy is all about the

timing. You can’t wait for a delay.”

Navarrete said the pandemic was ripe for Darwinian jokes. Plain stupidity is alive and well, he said.

There were those who didn’t believe Covid-19 existed, he said, saying those people “thought it was all hot air.”

He has a message for those who think America is No. 1.

“No. 1 in getting people sick,” he said.

Vallejo is a favorite stop for the comic who launched his career in college in 1989.

In addition to family and friends, Vallejo is a sister city to Daly City, both home to many Filipino-Americans.

Rush Ranch’s blacksmith Virgil Sellers will also join the day’s family oriented activities.

He will demonstrate the role blacksmiths played

when the Peña and Vaca pioneering families raised cattle in the mid-1800s on their ranches on what was to become the city of Vacaville.

The Peña Adobe is

the oldest fully restored structure built in Solano County. The adobe was built in 1842 by Juan Felipe Peña after he and Juan Manuel Vaca arrived in Vaca Valley from the New Mexico region.

Tours of the adobe, conducted by fifth-generation Peña family descendants Cecelia Peña and Darlene Stewart, will be available throughout the day.

‘Welcome 2 America’

SF Symphony welcomes guest shows that Prince is still full of surprises conductor Zhang

Jon Bream

review

Star Tribune

I

s Prince speaking to us from beyond? Was he some kind of soothsayer?

Or have times just not changed that much?

Five years after his death, the Purple One weighs in with an 11-yearold, previously unissued album that seems remarkably timely and topical in this post-Trump world of media misinformation and racial reckoning.

Sony Legacy’s release this week of “Welcome 2 America,” a fully completed 2010 project discovered by the Prince estate’s archivist nearly two years ago, surprises in many ways: n There are more songs offering social commentary than on any previous Prince album. n He recorded this collection primarily with two musicians he’d never worked with before. n He included his first cover ever of a tune by another Minneapolis act, Soul Asylum’s “Stand Up and Be Strong.” n A three-voice female choir sings lead on one selection and figures prominently on several others. n Prince asked longtime sideman Morris Hayes to add keyboard parts on his own, giving him an unprecedented coproducer credit.

As with many Prince albums, “Welcome 2 America” contains the good, the meh and the “What was he thinking?”

Despite its unevenness, this seldom-bootlegged album is a welcome addition to his official catalog, a record that shows a strong sense of purpose, vibrant spirituality and fervent hope for a better world.

The music resonates with profound relevance in the post-George Floyd, current-Covid climate of 2021.

“Welcome 2 America” appears to be rooted in Prince’s discovery of bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, then 23, in a YouTube video. After jamming with her in Los Angeles, he invited her to come to Paisley Park with a drummer of her choice. She picked Chris Coleman, who had been playing on the New Kids

Rex From Page B1 Navarrete spent some of his seclusion bingewatching anything he could. When he did go outside, he stayed away from others in accordance with Covid-19 regulations.

“Now, I have no time,” he said as his calendar begins to fill up.

Comedy is a “very needed art form” as people emerge from the pandemic. About onethird of the audience wore masks at his first show. He even took pictures with some of them.

“Prayers and Pfizer come through,” he joked.

Navarrete has reworked the material he planned to use in the spring of 2020. The timing was off on some of it, he said.

So far, the responses have been positive. And, the show is a chance to “grab a sense of normalcy,” he said.

“Laughter is healthy,” Navarrete said.

It’s a chance to get together with others and find some humor in what we all have been through.

Navarrete was baptized into comedy in front of a crowd of 800 at the annual Asian Pacific Islander Student Union conference

Prince performs on the main stage at the first day of Sziget (Island) Festival on “Hajogyar” (Shipyard) Island in Budapest, Aug. 9, 2011. on the Block reunion tour.

He didn’t even audition.

The three musicians jammed, then recorded tracks. Prince added vocals later.

A trio concept apparently had been in the Minnesota maestro’s head for a while. Circa 1993, he recorded a power trio project with drummer Michael Bland, bassist Sonny Thompson and himself on guitar, but it ended up in the vault. This album has now been freed from that storied crypt.

Throughout his career, we heard Prince share his thoughts about the ills of our nation but not as consistently as on “Welcome 2 America.” Eight of the 12 pieces could easily be considered social or political commentaries and a couple of others hint at it.

Mixing muted jazz and spoken word, the opening title track evokes vintage Gil Scott-Heron as Prince disses a laundry list of our problems: overdependence on technology (iPhone and Google are targets), media (misinformation and celebrity culture are scorned), racism (“land of the free, home of the slave”) and the just-ended presidency of George W. Bush (no new taxes). Prince praises the Bible and jazz, and displays his humor, declaring “here we snatch bass players, not purses.” Mes-

sages delivered.

On other selections, the paisley potentate tackles poverty (the Curtis Mayfield-inspired “Born 2 Die”) and racism (“Running Game [Son of a Slave Master],” sung by Shelby J with Liv Warfield and Elisa Fiorillo).

He yearns for utopia (“1000 Light Years From Here,” with its George Benson-like guitar), equality (“Same Page, Different Book” set to a spare funk groove) and a new world order (the emphatically good “Yes,” done to a double-time march beat).

In the closer, “One Day We Will All B Free,” Prince mixes spirituality with politics, asserting if “George Washington never told no lie, baby, we’d all be saved” and wondering “who controls the nations if we never have peace.” Good points.

In a rare studio cover song, Prince urges us to “Stand Up and B Strong,” the Soul Asylum tune recast as a low-key, religious-tinged rallying cry.

The Minneapolis band’s version was more of a glistening rocker with prominent drums (by Bland, who joined Soul Asylum in 2005). Prince’s interpretation is moody and minimalist, carrying on almost two minutes longer, thanks to his rising guitar solo. (Footnote: He

at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

“I was looking for my identity then just as everyone else was at that age,” he shared in press materials. “Much of my material was very serious, it lacked comedy. I figured that I had some important stuff to say, so say it in the format of stand-up.

This is where I started to take comedy as a vehicle seriously.”

Navarrete gathers all of his material from what he calls “real Rex moments,” reality and shared life experiences.

He now calls Portland home and travels all over North America and overseas.

Daily Republic Staff

cut an earlier treatment of this song with Thompson and Bland; that rendition remains in the vault.)

Three numbers on “Welcome 2 America” feel like familiar Prince oeuvre. The current single, “Hot Summer,” is a sprightly piece of synthpop ear candy straight out of his early-’80s songbook with a Top 40 lyric that could nod to Sly & the Family Stone’s “Hot Fun in the Summertime.”

The Minneapolis icon steps into His Royal Badness mode with “Check the Record,” a heavy rocker in which he taunts a friend to investigate if the pal’s girlfriend has been in Prince’s bed.

It’s a rhetorical question, of course.

By 2010, the always spiritual Prince, a Jehovah’s Witness disciple, may have stopped cussing, but his libido is alive on “When She Comes,” a slow, seductive ballad with graceful guitar and a perverse purity that climaxes with a whimper, not a bang.

How would this album have played if it had been released when it was recorded – one year into Barack Obama’s presidency, with hope coursing through the nation? We didn’t find out because Prince decided to shelve “Welcome 2 America.”

Speculation is that he wanted to tour behind the record with his new trio, but Wilkenfeld was committed to play with Herbie Hancock and Jeff Beck.

What did Prince say about snatching bass players?

They sacrifice with the eagerness that they are prepared to sacrifice their ego, pride, anger and arrogance for the pleasure of the Almighty Lord.

spending addiction.

Don’t talk to Josh. Let Vanessa be the one to tell him.

She’ll have to do it soon anyway if you don’t lend her the money for the credit card minimum.

I know you want to help, but resist. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and it’s got an express lane for people who get in the middle of their friends’ relationship problems.

Dear Annie: Back-seat drivers are an absolute pet peeve of mine. I have been driving for 20 years, and I’ve never been in an accident, except one time when I hit a mailbox with my sideview mirror, and never had a ticket, except that one time in upstate New York.

I’m not an aggressive driver.

I let people into my lane all the time. I don’t try to drive fast, but I am busy (and frequently late

to things) and do try to keep up with the other cars around me.

However, from the way some friends react when they’re in my car, you’d think I’m Danica Patrick. And my husband is the worst. He constantly makes comments: “Stop tailgating.”

“Slow down.” “You’re driving really fast.” And when he’s not verbalizing his thoughts, I can see him bracing for impact by grabbing the handle above the car door.

People’s constant feedback about my driving is getting on my last nerve. How can I instill in them the confidence to enjoy the ride when I am behind the wheel? — Driving Me Crazy Dear Driving: Well, you can start by being a better driver, because I doubt everyone who rides in your car is overreacting. You’re sending your passengers into survival

mode, and they’re blurting things out in self-defense, not picking on you.

Consider enrolling in a defensive driving class for adults. Many insurance companies even offer discounts for completing such courses.

At the very least, I suggest you revisit the basics of driver’s ed: Adjust your mirrors (while the car is still parked) to avoid blind spots; leave a car length in front of you for every 10 miles per hour of speed, etc. And leave the house earlier so you’re not in such a rush to get places.

Those back-seat drivers will gladly hand over their keys, so to speak, once they see that you can steer them to safety.

for your health

by Holiday Mathis

Today’s birthday Life’s enrichments present like secret ingredients, ground into powder and stored in unmarked bottles. A glance won’t tell you from whence they originate, so you’ll try things out – even things that don’t seem like they’d work. You’ll be surprised at what delicious healthiness becomes vital to your best life. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 40, 1, 18 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Assemble your ensemble because the task you face will need a team. If it doesn’t, it’s either not a worthy task, or you just haven’t gotten to the fun part yet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If life is a dream, today it’s a scripted dream, penned by sitcom writers who leave room for your improvisational contributions. It’s a funny feeling to feel this funny . . . everywhere you look, the universe meets you with a wink.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The rich moments of the day will knock you into the realm of the unexpected, causing your spontaneous reaction. You embrace the unknown because, without it, there is no life, only automation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The instruction won’t come by way of a manual, YouTube video or phone conversation with technical support. But it will come, you can be sure of that. The work is the teacher.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). However wellmeaning your inner critic may be, its views cannot be trusted. After all, how much perspective can anyone possibly get while trapped inside a person? Get outside of yourself to disarm the harsh voice inside.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Of all the things you do, note how many of them you wanted to do, measured against what you were expected or pressured to do to fulfill a role. If the ratio is out of balance, now is the time to fix it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your muse prefers beautiful surroundings and will gladly grace you with an abundance of inspiration once you tidy up. And your muse isn’t the only visitor you’ll have in your sparkling clean and organized environment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Oh, the trouble you’ll see! You don’t need to have all the answers to be of help. Your willingness to be present and listen will do more good than you can imagine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You won’t know how you feel until you start trying to put it into words. The best way is to work it out privately first, because your words have more power than you think. They can unite, define, create, uplift or end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel unclear about what to do, and a little foggy on your “why” as well. No matter. Your time is best spent mastering the realm of “how,” focusing on technique, practicality and production.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The day comes with jerky twists – although exciting, you’ll also need to balance things out. A straightforward, clear-cut task with a beginning and an end will return you to your center.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Riddle of the day: What gives you more energy than anything you could possibly drink?

Answer: letting go. A long-held expectation no longer applies. Release it. What takes its place will be an invigorating, achievable aim.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: From “Game of Thrones” to “Aquaman,” Jason Momoa’s intensely visceral charisma has a way of bringing fantasy worlds to life. The Leo star was born when the sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter were all in the sign of the king cat – that’s an unusual amount of royal astral-influence. Leo is also the sign of playfulness, children, the heart and show business.

Drinking on rise

A study concluded that stress from the Covid-19 pandemic led to an increase in binge drinking among adults.

during Covid-19 pandemic

Dr. Charles Whitehill

W

Special to the Daily Republic

e’re all aware the Covid-19 pandemic led to an increase in the number of people consuming alcohol daily.

Many of us noticed more people buying alcohol at the grocery store.

We’ve heard friends joke about making “quarantinis” or seen the memes of parents drinking excessively to cope with home schooling. But all joking aside, drinking too much alcohol is a serious health issue that’s only worsened since the start of the pandemic.

A study in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse in January concluded that stress from the Covid-19 pandemic led to an increase in binge drinking among adults.

Thirty-four percent of the more than 1,900 people surveyed reported binge drinking during the pandemic. More binge drinkers increased alcohol consumption during the pandemic (60%) than non-binge drinkers (28%), according to the study.

As an addiction medicine specialist, I have seen first-hand an increase in demand for drug and alcohol treatment and a greater need for detoxification services by many people who started drinking more since the pandemic.

Why is this happening?

Uncertainty, fear, isolation are great breeding grounds for substance use disorders and could explain the increase in excessive drinking. Alcohol briefly enhances our endorphins, giving us a short period of well-being, contentment, pain reduction and disinhibition. Pleasant thoughts and feelings are enhanced and unpleasant emotions are minimized. This is the “buzz” alcohol provides, and maybe the reason it’s called “happy hour.”

But it’s short-lived. Alcohol might numb someone to intrusive thoughts and fears temporarily. But the longer you drink and the more you consume results in growing suppression until dysfunction happens: slurred speech, emotional dysregulation, incoordination and poor judgment.

Substance use disorders develop in secrecy. While out of view from our friends, family and neighbors, many people accelerated quickly on the path of unhealthy drinking to the point where it became problematic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says excessive drinking for women is four or more drinks during a single occasion, or eight or more drinks per week. For men, it’s five or more drinks during a single occasion or 15 or more drinks per week. But one’s threshold may vary.

What we do know is long-term alcohol use is detrimental to most

areas of the body. Alcohol makes blood pressure, weight, blood sugar and cholesterol levels difficult to control. It can affect your heart and nerves. Alcohol will accelerate cognitive decline on top of any health problem you have. Mentally, alcohol destabilizes everything from depression, anxiety and any other mental health condition.

Feelings of shame may prevent someone from getting help. But it takes a village to recover. It is not a matter of willpower or personal strength. If you need help, talk to your doctor. Solano and Napa counties also have substance use treatment programs. Family and trusted friends may be able to support.

Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room if you or a loved one are suffering from severe intoxication, overdose or withdrawal.

As we begin to emerge from the pandemic and people return to work, those who have a problem with excessive drinking may no longer be able to hide the problem. If you or someone close to you needs help, please reach out. There are many resources available that can help you or your loved one get back to a healthier lifestyle.

Kendall confirmed as USAF Secretary Charles Pope

Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON — Frank Kendall won confirmation from the Senate July 26 to be the 26th Secretary of the Air Force, placing an official with decades-long service in defense issues in the top civilian job at a time when the department is navigating new global challenges and wide-reaching modernization efforts.

The vote reflected both Kendall’s well-known record in previous active duty and policy jobs and his philosophy for leading the Department of the Air Force.

With his confirmation, Kendall will be able to more fully articulate his priorities and policy preferences for how best to position the Air and Space Forces to contend with China, Russia and other strategic competitors, as well as continue to modernize the force and adapt to budget pressures.

The broad strokes, however, are already known.

“If confirmed, my priorities would be straightforward and mirror precisely those articulated by Secretary of Defense (Lloyd) Austin as they apply to the Department of the Air Force – taking care of our people, mission performance and building teams. Our military is people first and foremost,” Kendall told the Senate Armed Services Committee during his confirmation hearing May 25.

“With regard to mission performance, I believe the range and severity of the threats that we face and will face, the rapid pace of technological innovation, and the need to rapidly harness that technology in new operational concepts demand a sense of urgency and a like focus on getting our choices right,” he said during that hearing.

Kendall also committed during his confirmation hearing that he would ensure the U.S. Space Force’s continued growth and evolution.

The two-year-old Space Force, Kendall said in May, is “a critical contributor to our national security. If confirmed, I’ll be honored to have a role in making it a success.”

While the Senate’s action marks the first time Kendall will work directly within the Department of the Air Force, he is hardly unfamiliar with the mission, the Department of the Defense and national security.

He previously served in a number of senior positions for the Department of Defense, including as the See Kendall, Page B7

621st CRW airmen support Resolute Support Mission Tech. Sgt. Luther Mitchell

621st Contingency Response Wing Public Affairs

JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. — Airmen from the 621st Contingency Response Wing recently returned from supporting retrograde operations in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility as part of Task Force 74.

The team of Devil Raiders stationed at both Joint Base McGuire-DixLakehurst and Travis Air Force Base assisted the U.S. Joint Force commander in executing the safe and orderly retrograde of all U.S. and coalition forces from Afghanistan.

The CRW’s ability to mobilize within 12 hours in response to the president’s directed drawdown and support strategic objectives in a contested environment is precisely why the wing is considered Air Mobility Command’s 9-1-1 force.

“The contingency response groups are trained to operate in limited and contested operations,” said Master Sgt. Erik Larson, 921st Contingency Response Squadron team chief.

“We know how to work with less and not only get the job done but get it done efficiently and effectively.”

A combined force of 146 personnel from the 821st CRG, 621st CRG and the 621st Air Mobility Advisory Group deployed to support retrograde operations.

Personnel consisted of aerial port, aircraft maintenance, security forces, air traffic control, vehicle maintenance, airfield management, communications, ramp coordinators and air traffic control airmen.

The task force split into a contingency response element and a contingency response team to assist retrograde efforts in different parts of the country. The CRE provided the majority of assistance utilizing over 400 personnel to include members with the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing

Senior Airman Laurence Pierre, 921st Contingency Response Squadron defender, hugs friends after arriving at the Global Reach Deployment Center at Travis Air as well as the theaterenabling force members from across 15 bases.

“The core 621st CRW CRE was the heartbeat of the Afghanistan drawdown,” said Lt. Col. Mark Berthelotte, 321st CRS commander and CRE commander. “Completing any and all implied and explicit tasks was our mentality, no matter how far out of our norm it might be, because frankly, we were it. To our joint partners, we were the face of ‘The Air Force,’ so we completed any blue issues or requirements.”

The 621st CRW’s ability to execute operations when requirements lack clarity, self-sufficiency and mobility expertise were vital in meeting the Joint Force Air Component commander objectives.

“All members of our team demonstrated flexibility and tenacity in the face of a daunting mission on an aggressive timeline,” said Col. Daniel Mollis, 621st AMAG deputy commander and TF74 commander. “Whatever it took, we got the job done.”

Theater command and control experts with the 621st Air Mobility Oper-

ations Squadron rapidly responded to Air and Space Operation Center surge requirements at U.S. Air Forces Central.

“Once a contingency operation begins, and if requirements exceed manpower, the 621st AMOS provides Air Mobility Division augmentation support when tasked,” said Maj. Jonathan Loyd, 621st AMOS combat systems flight commander. “The 609th Air Mobility Division signaled that they needed additional personnel to help with the operations, so the 621st AMOS, along with some members from the contingency response squadrons, rapidly responded.”

Air Mobility Liaison Officers and Expeditionary Air and Ground Liaison Element airmen from the 621st Mobility Support Operations instructed, Squadron advised and deployed with joint partners playing a vital role in the rapid expedition of personnel and equipment.

“With the short time allotted to us, almost everything we did was time-sensitive,” said Staff Sgt. Dennis Daniel, 621st MSOS EAGLE member.

“I believe that we were

The 621st CRW’s mission sets were essential to air operations success supporting the retrograde operations and handing back base control to the host nation officials.

The contingency response team managed aircraft and cargo at an expedited pace, allowing higher headquarters the flexibility to move up the base closure date to meet the president’s timeline.

“The CRT was able to push over thousands of tons of cargo out from the base,” Larson said.

“The success of the CRT shows not only how viable a CRT can be, but also showcases that the contingency response group does more than just base and port openings.”

The 621st CRW’s ability to deliver agile, light and lean forces to the right place at the right time is what makes it a trusted option for senior leaders in achieving Department of Defense mobility objectives.

“Congrats to the Devil Raiders on the safe and effective planning and execution of a historic mission!” said Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost, AMC commander. “I could not be more proud of our AMC and CR airmen!”

Air advisers strengthen partnership, advance capabilities in Jamaica Tech. Sgt. Jacob Haines 571st Mobility Support Advisory Squadron

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — The 571st Mobility Support Advisory Squadron successfully conducted a Mobile Training Team engagement with the Jamaican Defense Force Air Wing at Up Park Camp and the Caribbean Military Aviation School, Kingston, Jamaica, June 10-22.

U.S. Air Force air advisers, like those of the 571st MSAS, are ambassadors tasked with fostering relationships and developing the capabilities of U.S. global strategic partners, to include the Caribbean nation of Jamaica.

The JDF-AW is a highly capable professional force of aviators and technicians who take pride in their service and stewardship of Jamaica and the surrounding area.

With their team of technically savvy air advisers, the 571st MSAS delivered classroom instruction, hands-

on training, devised a multi-service search and rescue exercise, and facilitated program development in the areas of aircraft maintenance quality assurance, crew resource management, radio transmission, water survival and search and rescue.

Through the radio transmission course,

JDF-AW members honed their skills by receiving instruction on radio etiquette, standardization of radio maintenance procedures, radio safety and maintenance, Airborne Extensible Relay Over-Horizon Network integration, advanced radio troubleshooting and procurement of additional operating manuals.

In the aircraft maintenance QA course, JDF leadership received instruction on QA fundamentals, QA program development and implementation, with the course culminating in a working group that began drafting a standing order to tailor an appropriate QA program that will codify JDF-AW maintenance QA practices.

“The training was very interesting and useful,” said Maj. Gladstone Allen, JDF-AW training and standards officer and maintenance QA course attendee. “I really enjoyed it! Our

instructor presented the material with expertise and enthusiasm. This course has helped to lay the foundation of a JDF QA program. I wish to extend my thanks for the wisdom, experience and excellent presentation shared during this engagement.”

In the crew resource management course, aircrew personnel learned CRM fundamentals, threat error mitigation techniques, checklist development and utilization, mission planning and debrief techniques, and aircrew situational awareness principles.

The course concluded with aircraft mishap case studies and development of improved communication techniques with proper checklist utilization to employ a shared mental model during both standard and emergency air operations.

Students quickly learned See Jamaica, Page B7

Jamaica From Page B6 and began incorporating CRM aspects within their lens of evaluating aircrew operations.

The water survival, search and rescue course focused on developing downed aircrew members’ survival and recovery signaling skills applicable to the maritime environment that the JDF operates in. Through this instruction, JDF-AW aviators learned and practiced utilization of personnel recovery kit items, ocean survival techniques, life raft deployment and operation, rescue signaling methods, and hoist operation and maintenance techniques.

At the summit of this course of instruction, the class took to the open water where students had to employ

previously learned classroom survival techniques in a search and rescue, personnel recovery exercise that incorporated a Bell 429 GlobalRanger helicopter, three Jamaican Coast Guard vessels, and approximately 30 personnel.

“Personnel survival techniques and recovery operations are tactics that need to be exercised and performed on a recurring basis to ensure they can be executed efficiently in the event of an emergency,” said U.S. Air Force Tech.

Sgt. Gerame Vaden, 571st MSAS Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape specialist. “During a survival situation, with someone’s life on the line, there may not be time or opportunity to recall vaguely remembered procedures. This exercise was designed with that understanding in mind – get the students in

the water employing their survival techniques, and have recovery forces go through the rescue operation process.”

Units like the 571st MSAS illustrate the U.S. commitment to regional partners in ways that bolster partner nation capacity, enhance trust and transparency, improve interoperability, and create cooperative solutions upon shared objectives.

“After two years, our unit was able to reunite with the JDF for a face-to-face training engagement,” said Capt.

Ashlyn Asipauskas, 571st MSAS MTT mission commander. “The strength of our existing partnership was immediately evident upon our arrival. The Jamaicans were very welcoming and eager for training to begin. Even during a global pandemic, my team was able to accomplish great things through their creativity and expertise, and ensure

Inglebrights prepare to bring ‘Bright Spot’ to world of cannabis Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Cars to cannabis, close together in the dictionary but worlds apart in business.

Jim and Valerie Inglebright have spent a lifetime taking care of automobiles through their Roadrunner Towing and American Auto Body Specialists businesses. Now they are ready for a crash course in cannabis.

The Inglebrights earned City Council approval earlier this year to open The Bright Spot, a 7,000-square-foot dispensary on Walters Court, next to their current business.

“It’s a 180-degree turnaround,” Jim Inglebright said. “We sold the body shop and still have the towing business.

It’s different for us, a new chapter in our lives, a new challenge.”

The Inglebrights felt compelled to make this new move for personal reasons. Valerie’s mother found great benefits to taking the “gummy” version of cannabis and the Inglebrights felt they could help others.

“I’m 60 now,” Jim Inglebright said. “This is all new to me. I never really thought I’d wind up in this industry. Our primary reason was that it helped Val’s mother. I became a big advocate. I didn’t really realize the benefits that were brought to it.”

“This is a big deal for us,” Valerie Inglebright said. “We see real benefits

In brief

The foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Its goal is to develop the local workforce through a variety programs.

The of awards will range from $500 to $2,500 and be given to those students pursuing accredited education at state-approved vocational trade schools, community colleges and traditional colleges.

Jim and Valarie Inglebright stand inside their new venture, The Bright Spot cannabis distribution center, Monday. for this community.”

The Inglebrights know there are many skeptics but the world of cannabis is not a dark little secret anymore. It’s a moneymaking business for the community as well, and cities throughout Solano County have been authorizing new operations.

“Don’t judge me for getting into it,” Jim Inglebright said. “We won’t all agree, but I think the opinions are changing.

We’re hearing more positives than negatives.”

The Bright Spot will sit at 1990 Walters Court and

is currently going up on an open property that the Inglebrights have owned for years. They will hire 20 employees covering positions like delivery, dispatch, sales, inventory and operations. They will also hire a controller and general manager.

There will be “roll-up doors,” concrete throughout the property to abate potential flooding and 35 spots for parking.

They’ve had to follow strict local and state regulations and will be heavily taxed for the operation of the business. Security will

be tight with on-site security, 17 exterior cameras, 22 cameras inside and license plate readers.

There will also be a “safe room” with climate control to keep the product at a regulated temperature because, Jim Inglebright said, “We want to make sure it’s the best product and fresh for our customers.”

Space Money Meds out of Sacramento will provide the bulk of the product. They are a grower and distributor.

The Inglebrights have had other suppliers who

have reached out to them as well.

Distribution will take place by delivery, express window and what the Inglebrights hope will eventually be a “drivethru” service.

“It’s very regimented,” he said. “There will be zero transactions outside of these walls. It is a highly regulated business and the penalties are pretty steep.”

The Inglebrights had to win approval from the City Council like the four other “pot shops” that got OKs to open their doors

earlier this year. They presented a detailed, 200page report and got a unanimous 7-0 vote.

“We had a great presentation and business model,” Jim Inglebight said. “We were the only applicants that are building from the ground up.

There were so many things I wasn’t prepared for, but Val prepped for all of it.”

In their report to council, the Inglebrights project sales figures of $7.7 million the first year to $11.8 million in the third. Jobs will pay $14 an hour for hourly employees on up to $45,000 for salaried employees.

The Inglebrights have been active in the community their entire lives.

Jim Inglebright said the two met when they were 15 and 16 and have worked hard their whole lives, “pulling up our own boots by the bootstraps.”

Jim Inglebright also has a racing career on the side and has strong runs in NASCAR races, truck series events and lowerlevel races with success.

He drove sponsored cars for local companies like Jelly Belly for years.

“The people I’ve met through go-karts and racing have really helped my career,” Jim Inglebright said.

The roof structure is currently taking shape, the power is on and the Inglebrights hope to be in business by October.

“I’m starting to get excited,” he said.

Dover Academy for International Studies eighth-grader Javier Rodriguez tries out a microphone for voice-over recording at the A Squared video production company booth at the Inspire: Dreams Start Now Interactive Career Fair at the Suisun City Kroc Center in 2016.

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield-Suisun and Vacaville chambers of commerce are encouraging local business owners to sign up and encourage the county’s future workforce as exhibitors in the Inspire Dreams program.

The Inspire: Dreams Start Now program allows businesses to help provide an interactive career exploration fair experience for thousands of area eighth-graders each year.

The Inspire: Dreams Move Forward program continues that exploration into future careers for 10th-graders by

allowing them to job shadow and go on industry tours at various businesses throughout Solano County.

The Fairfield-Suisun fair will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 19 at The Salvation Army Kroc Center, 586 E. Wigeon Way, Suisun City. The Vacaville fair will occur from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Ulatis Community Center, 1000 Ulatis Drive.

The Inspire: Dreams Start Now program initially started as a partnership between the Fairfield-Suisun School District, Fairfield-Suisun City Chamber of Commerce and The Salvation

Army Kroc Center.

The programs have since grown to include the Vacaville School District, Travis School District, Dixon School District and the Workforce Development Board of Solano County. The cities of Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, Dixon and their respective chambers of commerce have also been instrumental in the partnerships.

“We have a long history of supporting North Bay youth and nothing is more satisfying for us than seeing students thrive,” Chris Call, North Bay Credit Union CEO, said in a press release to announce the scholarships.

One of this year’s scholarship winners, Francesca Pharo, wrote to the credit union: “You supported me when I was raising my livestock in 4-H . . . and now you’ve extended that support through college.” The

credit union offers financial support for 4-H and Future Farmers of America student projects.

This year’s scholarship winners are Kaia Stites of Penngrove, who is attending Santa Rosa Junior College; Pharo, of Sonoma, who is at Colorado State University; and Cameron Taggesell of Sonoma, who is headed to the University of Oregon.

“I know that the last year was a difficult one for students given the challenges of remote learning and canceled classes,” Call said in the press release.

“These hardworking students are looking forward to a return to campuses and we’re glad we could help them.”

North Bay Credit Union has $100 million in assets and offers a full range of loans, including mortgages, vehicle loans, home equity loans, agricultural loans and private student loans.

The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA and serves everyone who lives, works or worships in Solano, Napa, Sonoma and Marin counties.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, August 1, 2021 B9

Beekeepers turn hobby into honey-maker and out a spigot, like a golden ribbon.

“It all forces you to be present,” Idleman said. “I figured if it worked for me, it would work for others.”

In 2016, he formed BeeFound for veterans and first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder. In addition to the five hives he keeps, he manages a “foster apiary” for the nonprofit’s Bees for Bravery program applicants. He’s given away 20 hives this year and more than a dozen people are on the waiting list.

Idleman bottled 200 pounds of his own honey last year. He sells it online, for $13 a jar, to help fund BeeFound.

Tribune Content Agency DES PERES, Mo. — A vegetable garden was first on Tom Millis’ to-do list when he bought his home in the St. Louis suburb of Des Peres a decade ago.

Then he and his nowwife, Elsa Stuart, added native flowers to their 2-acre property.

Bees were next. They’d help pollinate the plants and make a little honey, maybe even enough to give to friends.

Last summer, the couple harvested 1,600 pounds.

“What are we going to do with all this honey?”

Stuart asked Millis.

They decided to form a bee corporation.

In October, the couple launched Millis Meadows, joining the ranks of hobbyists-turned-entrepreneurs whose fascination with the communal insects blossomed into side businesses selling hive products. In the United States, honeybees have bounced back since colony collapse disorder was identified in the mid-2000s, increasing awareness of the pollinators’ plight. Honey consumption has almost doubled over the past 50 years, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, even as the use of other caloric sweeteners has dropped.

Most backyard beekeepers start small after learning about the practice from a family member or on social media. Millis and Stuart, both veterinarians, dove into research on the invertebrates and converted their garage into a workspace before they added any flying tenants to their garden. At least six apiarist organizations in the region offer mentoring and workshops to help “newbees” establish colonies, mitigate setbacks and minimize the inevitable stings.

Adventure of the Seas is not the only cruise ship with Covid-19 on board.

Honey bees buzz around beekeepers Tom Millis, left, and Elsa Stuart as they inspect one of the hives in their backyard apiary, called Millis Meadows, in Des Peres, Missouri, June 12.

“You can’t just master it in a year,” said John Pashia of Affton. “There’s very much an art to the science.”

Pashia joined the Eastern Missouri Beekeepers Association 15 years ago after a friend got him interested in the practice. At the time, about a dozen people were regulars at meetings. Now the club claims hundreds of members.

“People are becoming more connected to nature and wanting to know where their food comes from,” Pashia said. “As a hobby, it’s extremely interesting.

You’re overwhelmed by Mother Nature.”

Bee colonies are complex ecosystems, and their care requires time and money. Most backyard hives resemble a chest of drawers, with 10-inchtall wooden boxes called “deeps” on the bottom and shallower “supers” stacked on top. Inside are eight to 10 frames into which worker bees construct honeycomb.

on board in the last seven days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nine of the 21 ships that have reported Covid-19 cases have passengers on board.

Last month, two children under 16 years old tested positive for Covid-19 on the Adventure of the Seas cruise ship and were flown back to the U.S. The company requires all passengers 16 years old and older to be vaccinated and test negative for Covid-19 before boarding the ship.

The hexagonal wax cells can hold eggs, pollen and nectar – which the workers dehydrate by fanning it with their translucent wings until it thickens into honey.

Honey is collected from the supers – a barrier called an excluder keeps the queen from laying eggs in them – usually in the summer or fall.

Extracting equipment can cost thousands of dollars.

The process takes days to complete.

Jeremy Idleman of Ballwin was prodded into beekeeping a few years ago by an uncle, after Idleman returned from an Army deployment to Iraq.

“I had some anger issues,” he said.

He learned that beekeeping had been rec-

Like beer and olive oil, honey varieties have proliferated in recent years amid a growing appreciation for flavor and style nuances. Clover is the most common of the more than 300 types in the United States, which vary based on local flowers.

Pat Jackson of Hazelwood, Mo., an all-day tea drinker, says she can taste the changing of the seasons when she stirs in her honey.

“In the spring, it’s a very delicate flavor,” she said. “Fall honey is a darker color. The flavor is deeper.”

Jackson gets her sweet fix from Tinker’s Bees and Pure Raw Honey, owned

by Guy and Tracy Tinker of Florissant, Mo. “What the bees are foraging on makes the honey completely different,” said

ommended for World War I veterans to help them recover from shell shock.

“I found that I was much more calm when I was working the bees,” Idleman said. “There’s a lot of therapeutic qualities to them.”

The constant hum of the hive is soothing, like white noise. Success is measurable. Every couple of days, he checks on his growing brood. He slides out the frames, each one heavy with bees, and drips of nectar glisten in the sunlight.

At harvest time, Idleman uses a hot knife to slice the caps off the comb, the wax falling away in a long curl. A centrifuge spins the honey out of the frames. It slides down the wall of the steel drum

Beyond clover

Guy Tinker, a computer technician.

The Tinkers started tending bees in 2014. In their second year, they collected enough honey to give to friends. By the fourth year, they were ready to form an LLC. They sell primarily online and at a few local shops.

Rob Kravitz of south St. Louis pops a teaspoon of Tinker’s each day with his dose of vitamins. “It helps me wake up in the morning,” he said.

Honey, which contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, enjoys a healthy reputation that eludes many other sweeteners. Its sugars have been partly broken down by bees, making them easier for some people to digest. Honey can work as a cough suppressant or a salve for wounds.

Many consumers swear by local honey as an allergy remedy, though clinical studies have not borne that out; the Mayo Clinic refers to it as a “sweet placebo.”

For Ann Shields of Des Peres, buying local honey is more about promoting environmental health, anyway.

“Those bees live happy lives, and it feels good for me to support that,” she said.

She uses Millis Meadows’ $8 wildflower honey in marinades for her barbecue, spread on toast and as a throatsoother when she strains her voice from teaching.

It’s delicious, and it’s easy, Shields said: “I get the benefit without the buzzing.”
