FAIRFIELD — Trustees who govern the public schools in Fairfield and Suisun City got a final update Thursday on safety and other measures related to the pandemic as campuses prepare to reopen. Superintendent Kris Corey went over new and updated policies for handling the health of students and staff. The Fairfield-Suisun School District will adhere to the most recent guidance from the California Department of Public Health. That guidance includes requirements related to wearing masks, maintaining physical distancing, ventilation, hygiene practices, cleaning, food services and school visitors. Masks are optional outside but must be worn indoors. This includes adults and students. People exempted from wearing a face-covering due to a medical condition must wear a non-restrictive alternative, such as a face shield with a drape on the bottom edge, as long as their condition permits them to do so. If a child or teen fails to bring a mask to school,

FAIRFIELD — Dusk had settled onto Laurel Creek when the excitement level rose among the nine members of Scouts BSA Troop 482 who on Wednesday had walked and cleaned up a mile or so of the stream’s banks. Popping a head out of the dark, breeze-rippled water, not far from its lodge, a beaver could be seen. Moments earlier, a pair of whiskered river otters were spotted in the creek as well. The appearance of the two aquatic mammals was the climax to the tour the scouts were guided on by Virginia Holsworth, who has made protecting the beavers and their self-constructed habitat on the creek one of her life’s missions.

SUISUN CITY — Saturday was a special drop-off day for residents of Suisun with free waste disposal at Potrero Hills Landfill. Residents could bring one load of approximately 4 cubic yards of regular trash, green waste, mattresses, box springs, sofas, paper, cardboard, wood and tree branches. “The usual cost for dropping large items off is around $60,” said Sandra Gonzales, Republic Services’ recycling coordinator. This event has been happening for more than five years. Landfill staff were busy in the morning with about 60 people coming by with various types of trash. “This is great because it is an opportunity to get things out of the house and garage,” Gonzales said. The service was not for tires, concrete, treated or pressure wood (i.e., fence or deck wood, etc.) and hazardous waste. City residents were

The Public Health Division reported 314 additional coronavirus cases in Solano County since Wednesday’s update, but Matyas said about 100 of those are from a week earlier. “We are getting a lot of late reporting from the state,” Matyas said. He said the more timely reports put the daily average over the past 10 days at 90 to 95 cases. The total for the county was 37,664. The number of residents hospitalized with the disease was down to 105 Friday, with 32 of those in intensive care units. That represents just under half of all ICU patients, Matyas said. There have been no new Covid-related deaths reported, leaving the total at 245, but Matyas said he is reviewing a number of new records. The percentage of residents 12 or older who have received at least one vaccination climbed to 72% Friday, while

59% of that population is fully vaccinated, the county reported. Vallejo jumped past 11,000 cases for the pandemic with 84 new cases reported Friday, taking the city’s total to 11,081. Fairfield (10,237) had the most new cases recorded at 103; Vacaville (9,840) added 76 cases; and Suisun City (2,660) added 19. There were 13 new cases reported in Dixon (2,100); 14 in Benicia (1,167); four in Rio Vista (462); and one new report in the unincorporated area of the county took that area’s total to 124, the county reported. number of The active cases spiked from 754 Wednesday to 910 Friday.

FAIRFIELD — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has endorsed the use of a third dose of Covid-19 vaccine to better protect individuals with compromised immunities. The shots should be the same series as originally used – meaning Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna – and not taken sooner than four weeks after the last shot was received. “At a time when the delta variant is surging, an additional vaccine dose for some people with weakened immune systems could help prevent serious and possibly life-threatening Covid-19 cases within this population,” Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the CDC director, said in a statement matyas issued Friday. The CDC reported that studies indicate those with immune deficiencies make up a disproportionate number of cases of vaccinated residents who are still catching the disease. “Emerging data suggest some people with moderately to severely compromised immune systems do not always build the same level of immunity compared to people who are not immunocompromised. In addition, in small studies, fully vaccinated immunocompromised people have accounted for a large proportion of hospitalized breakthrough cases (40 to 44%),” the CDC reported. “Immunocompro mised people who are

The requirements also apply to other medical facilities, whether inpatient or outpatient. There are some exemptions outlined by the state. The order was issued Wednesday.

Mary Ellen McCormick Jan. 10, 1945 — Jan. 18, 2021

Mary Ellen McCormick passed away in Napa, California, on Jan. 18, 2021, from an acute form of leukemia, complicated by Covid-19. She was born at Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Lewistown, Montana, on Jan. 10, 1945, to Robert A. McCormick and Stella M. (Prevost) McCormick. She lived there with her two elder siblings, Charmaine and Bob, until her dad returned from the South Pacific after World War II. From Lewistown the family moved to Shelby where she was raised along with four more siblings. Her sister Colleen, brothers Jim and Joe and finally, sister, Patrice joined the family. Through Mary Ellen’s St. William elementary and Shelby High School years she formed a close bond with a group of girls with whom she remained friends throughout her life. Going through her photo albums we found class photos, 4-H camp and birthday party photos, all the same group of girls. It was the bond of friendship and care for others that gave her the greatest joy. Mary Ellen earned an associate degree, was a licensed practical nurse and earned her respiratory therapy certification. She first worked at Swedish and Veteran’s Administration Hospitals in Seattle in that capacity. From Seattle she moved to Juneau, Alaska, where she continued

her respiratory therapy career and was a personal caregiver. After 10 years in Juneau, she moved to California where she worked at Stanford University Hospital, eventually settling in Suisun City, California, where she lived until the time of her passing. She gave much of herself and often sheltered people in her home who had nowhere else to go. She lived by faith and although she didn’t have family near her, she knew she never walked alone. She loved hearing about her nieces and nephews and what was going on in their lives. Her enduring faith was grounded in assurance that God will provide. It was with some in her faith community that she traveled to the Holy Land, and it was her loving friends who were a very large part of Mary Ellen’s happiest days. Mary Ellen’s memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 21, 2021, at St. William Catholic Church, in Shelby, Montana. Following Mass, she will be laid to rest next to her parents, Robert A. and Stella M. McCormick, at Mountain View Cemetery in Shelby. Memorial gifts may be made to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in Fairfield, California, St. William Catholic Church in Shelby, Montana, or a charity of one’s choice.

Jimmie Joe Jones

April 23, 1938 — April 6, 2021

On Tuesday, April 6, 2021, Jimmie Joe Jones, loving husband, father of two, grandfather to six, great-grandfather to three and great-greatgrandfather to one (born just one day before his death), passed away just a few days shy of his 83rd birthday. Jimmie was born in Portales, New Mexico, on April 23, 1938, to Frank and Lorene Jones. The family lived many places before settling in Vallejo, California, where Frank worked on Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Jimmie attended Vallejo schools where he met the love of his life, Thelma Jean McDowell (daughter of Neoma and Skip McDowell of Vallejo), at Vallejo High School. These high school sweethearts were married on Nov. 18, 1956, and celebrated their 64th anniversary last year. They established a life together in Vallejo where they raised son, Victor, and daughter, Deborah. Jimmie graduated from Sacramento State University in 1960 and continued working for the Vallejo Times Herald, where he started as a copyboy and retired as Publisher in 1994 – ending a career which spanned almost four decades. During his time at the paper, he interviewed numerous celebrities to include John Wayne, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and Lucille Ball. Jimmie was very involved in the Vallejo community where he served on the Solano County Grand Jury; President, Mare Island Navy League; President, Vallejo Rotary Club; Vice President, Vallejo Chamber of Commerce; Coach, Vallejo Little League; director, tech coordinator and actor, Vallejo Group Theatre; member, Vallejo Arts Council; parent booster, Minnesingers; President, California Newspaper Publishers Association–Gold Unit; race car owner, Vallejo Speedway; and as a Shepard/Director of The Tahoe Family Encampment. The restoration of an upright player piano led Jimmie to start a part-time business of piano tuning and repair called ‘Jimmie Jones Piano Service’. After Jimmie’s retirement from VTH and Thelma’s retirement from Bank of America, they established TJ Designs, a custom embroidery business, providing personalized clothing and letterman jackets to the greater Solano community for 20 years, and expanded his knowledge

to become a certified embroidery machine repair technician. After moving from Vallejo, it was difficult for Jimmie to fully retire, so he prepared income taxes with Jackson Hewitt for a few years. The role most dear to his heart, however, was serving as a Shepard at Vallejo’s Lassen Street Church of Christ for over 27 years, before moving with his extended family to Ward, Arkansas, in 2015. Jimmie was extremely active during his life. He and Thelma hosted five Rotary exchange students after becoming empty nesters. Some also joked that he was the ‘Hobby King’ due to his many interests like designing and building the family cabin in Sierra County’s Greene Acres community, obtaining his pilot’s license, owning a share interest in an aircraft, racing cars, camping, traveling, home remodeling, golf, photography, scuba diving, riding dirt bikes, quads and snowmobiles and off-roading in his Jeep CJ. He was particularly proud of completing the Rubicon Trail, twice. He is survived by his wife, Thelma, of Ward, Arkansas; sister, Toni (Mike) Rehmus, of Vallejo, California; children, Victor (Kim) Jones, of Fairfield, California, and Deborah (Mitch) Turner, of Ward, Arkansas; grandchildren, Jeremy (Rebecca) Turner, of Fort Collins, Colorado, Stacie (Jeff) Coburn, of Austin, Arkansas, Rachel (Saul) Avalos of Sacramento, California, Alyssa (Bryan) Luchini of Sacramento, California, Ryan (Alexis) Jones of Fairfield, California, and Austin Jones of Fairfield, California; great-grandchildren, Kayla (Tanner) Booker of Beebe, Arkansas, Wyatt and Raelyn Coburn of Austin, Arkansas; and great-greatgrandchild, Koe Booker of Beebe, Arkansas; along with many nieces and nephews. Jimmie was preceded in death by his parents; parents-in-law; and daughter-in-law, Alicia (Jimenez) Jones, who was also raised in Vallejo. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 20, 2021, at Vallejo Church of Christ, 1109 Lassen St., Vallejo, California. All who knew Jimmie and would like to share in memories of a life well-lived are welcome to attend. The family requests, in lieu of flowers, honorariums can be made to New Mexico Christian Children’s Home in Jimmie’s birthplace of Portales, New Mexico.

Bay Area district extends air quality advisory Smoke from wildfires to remain aloft over area through Sunday Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — An air quality advisory linked to smoke from wildfires across Northern California and southern Oregon will remain in place across the Bay Area through Sunday. Smoke coming into the area from the north is expected at higher elevation in the North and East Bay regions, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District reported. Air quality is not expected to exceed the federal health standard.

Similar advisories were in place for four consecutive days starting Aug. 5. The advisory was reactivated Wednesday before being extended late Thursday morning for an additional day. Officials extended the advisory Friday, this time through the weekend. Smoky, hazy skies will be visible across the Bay Area and smoke may affect localized regions in Solano, Napa and Sonoma counties, and higher elevation locations, the air district reports. Smoke can irritate

the eyes and airways, causing coughing, a scratchy throat and irritated sinuses, and can be particularly bad for those with asthma, emphysema or COPD, the air district reported. The elderly, children and individuals with respiratory illnesses are particularly susceptible and should take extra precautions to avoid exposure. If the smell of smoke is present, Bay Area residents are urged to protect their health, if possible, by staying inside with windows and doors closed

until smoke levels subside. The air district also recommends those affected by smoke set their air conditioning units and car vent systems to re-circulate to prevent outside air from moving inside. The renewed advisory midweek came a day after portions of Solano County were under a higher level air quality warning, known as a Spare the Air alert.

Officials with the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District issued the warning due to high levels of smog across the region. The Bay Area Air Quality Management includes all or parts of the nine Bay Area counties, including western Solano County around Fairfield and Suisun City west to the Vallejo-Benicia area. The Yolo-Solano

Air Quality Management District includes the area around Vacaville, east into Winters and Yolo County. For real-time air quality readings for the Bay Area, go to http:// baaqmd.gov/highs. For air quality information in the Yolo-Solano district, to include information about the Sacramento region and up into the Sierra Nevada, go to http://www. sparetheair.com/.

Padres no-hit in first MLB start by rookie Tyler Gilbert K evin Acee THE SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

PHOENIX — The Cincinnati Reds lost on Saturday. Thus ends the good news for the Padres. With a pitching staff tattered already, their most reliable starter was torched for five runs in the first inning and their mercurial offense was held hitless

by a 27-year-old rookie making his first major league start. Joe Musgrove, the native San Diegan who threw the first no-hitter in Padres history on April 9, watched from the railing of the visitors’ dugout as Tyler Gilbert was mobbed his teammates after Tommy Pham lined the first pitch he saw in the ninth inning to Ketel Marte in center field.

Musgrove was the last Padres player to leave the dugout. He departed just as the public address announcer practically screamed that the Padres had gotten “no runs, no hits and no errors.” Musgrove had started the game and yielded five runs before recording his second

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — The last time the Vacaville High football team played it put together the first undefeated season in school history. But something was lacking. Despite winning its fourth straight Monticello Empire League in the pandemic delayed fivegame spring season, there was no murderer’s row of nonleague opponents nor the thrill of the playoffs, which the Bulldogs have missed just twice in Mike Papadopoulos’s 16 seasons as coach. Papadopoulos, who holds a 135-47 career record with 11 MEL and two Sac-Joaquin Section titles, returns five starters on offense and six on defense as Vacaville looks to match a school record by winning its fifth straight MEL crown. The Bulldogs won five in a row from 2009 to 2013, also under Papadopoulos. It’s no surprise that the coach lists “win league and make a deep playoff run” as goals for the 2021 Bulldogs. Leading the charge are Jacob Edmonds, an All-MEL first team on the offensive and defensive lines and the reigning MEL Lineman of the Year, and Darian Leon-Guerrero, the MEL’s Back of the Year in

Vacaville’s Darian Leon-Guerrero runs the ball down the field during the football game against Rodriguez at Vacaville High School, April 9. the spring season. In just five games, Leon-Guerrero rambled for 701 yards and 15 touchdowns, catching six passes for 138 yards and one TD. Also returning are quarterback Ryan Vaughan, who threw for 839 yards and nine TDs while earning All-MEL first team honors; center Javier Sixto, another All-MEL first team pick;

and receiver Anthony Wiley, an All-MEL second team selection with seven catches for 146 yards and two TDs. Tim Plowman, who caught four passes for 76 yards and two TDs in the spring, is also back on offense. The defense likewise returns talent. Back are Edmonds at defensive line, Plowman at defensive and Blake Espino at linebacker, See Bulldogs, Page A9

Warriors have to adjust from when free agents came to them for less money Tribune Content Agency The Warriors wrapped up their NBA’s free agency period Friday, having filled some needs at center and wing with league-minimum contracts, while still having the taxpayer mid-level exception to flaunt for a ball-handler in the near future. General manager Bob Myers said the Warriors offered the $5.9 million taxpayer midlevel exception, but failed to sign “a few people.” The Warriors lost out in negotiations with Nicolas Batum (Clippers) and Patty Mills (Nets), but it’s unclear if Myers was referring to those players or others who might have chosen better odds of winning

a title than taking more money in Golden State. “We offered it to a few people, but they chose other directions. That’s about as strong as you can,” Myers said. “You put it out there, but we weren’t just going to put it out there without some level of discernment. We tried, but after a few guys went off the board, we kind of held it in check.” The Warriors had last season’s $118 million luxury tax bill reduced to about $69 million, because of the coronavirus pandemic. Their current $184 million payroll is more than $40 million over the luxury tax threshold and more than $50 million more than Brooklyn, the league’s second-highest payroll

($131 million). With the eight players under contract for 2022-23, the Warriors are already $26 million over the threshold and would be paying luxury taxes for the fourth time in five years. Myers said the team would still consider using the mid-level exception in the buyout market, but the Warriors are going to have to perform to get players to consider them. Having won only 39.4% of their games for the past two years after a dynastic run from 2015 to ’19, the Warriors settled for center/power forward Nemanja Bjelica and wings See Warriors, Page A9

Matt Chapman was supposed to have Saturday’s game off. Instead, he had his best game of the season. A rough year at the plate so far had the A’s third baseman with one of the league’s highest strikeout rates and lowest batting averages, but Chapman looked more like his old self in the A’s 8-3 win over the Texas Rangers in Arlington. Chapman hit two home runs – his seventh career multi-home run game – and made one of the A’s best catch of the year, robbing Brock Holt of an opposite field bloop single with a diving, blind catch that sent Globe Life Park’s turf flying. His first home run was a solo one that broke a 1-1 tie in the second inning. His second, another solo shot amid Oakland’s fourrun seventh inning that broke open a 3-3 tie. When he’s hitting, Chapman has typically been penciled into the second spot or middle of the order, but since the trade deadline he’s plummeted down the lineup as looks for ways to lighten

a dismal 32% strikeout rate and .216 average that ranked fourth worst in the American League heading into Saturday’s games. A five-walk game in Cleveland that tied a single-game record set by Mark McGwire in 1997 amplified a solid stretch for Chapman in which he’s walked nine times with a .300 average over his last seven games. Mitch Moreland has been losing playing time with second baseman Josh Harrison moving Jed Lowrie to a more regular designated hitter role. But Harrison’s recent injury opened up opportunities for Moreland, and he’s taken advantage. Moreland’s opposite field home run to kick off the four-run seventh inning was his third home run and sixth hit in four games. Back-to-back RBI singles from Starling Marte and Matt Olson extended the A’s lead. Olson hit his 30th home run of the year in the third inning, an opposite field laser beam. Olson ranks fourth in MLB on the home run leaderboard behind Angels’ See A’s, Page A8

Nathaniel Lowe and Yonny Hernandez had his number, with Lowe scoring Hernandez in the first inning on a pair of hits. Kaprielian settled in and escaped a few jams, including a two-on, no-out situation in the third inning helped along by a sliding catch of Adolis Garcia’s bunt attempt.

Khris Davis at Triple-A Las Vegas, ‘no timetable’ for possible return to A’s ARLINGTON, Texas —

Khris Davis, signed by the A’s to a minor-league deal last week, played in his first game with TripleA Las Vegas on Thursday, collecting two hits as the designated hitter. Davis’ return to the A’s system was announced Aug. 4. He reported first to their minor-league facility and played in four Arizona Complex League games, going 1-for-11 with three walks. He was added to Triple-A Las Vegas’ roster on Thursday. Davis took four at-bats in Las Vegas’ 9-2 loss to the Tacoma Rainiers. He flied out in his first at-bat against righthander Ryan Weber, then hit a line-drive single and a double in his next trips to the plate. He flied out

in his last. The A’s, who traded Davis in February to the Rangers, re-signed him hoping for a return of his previous power. Davis played five seasons with the A’s and led the majors in home runs (133) over a three-season span from 2016-18. Since the start of the 2019 season, though, Davis has a .212 batting average and 27 homers in 185 major-league games. Texas released him in June. A’s manager Bob Melvin said Friday there is “no timetable or plans or anything at this point to get him here (to the major-league roster). But he wanted to play, obviously wanted to play for us again. And we’re hoping that it goes well.

Warriors: 15th spot on roster up in air From Page A7 Andre Iguodala and Otto Porter Jr. – players with age and injury limitations. There’s still a need for another ball-handler and play-maker after Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole, but the Warriors did use the offseason to ink Curry to a four-year, $215 million contract extension through 2026. That was “probably the most important thing

that we could do,” Myers said of extending Curry during the offseason. When Damion Lee’s contract becomes guaranteed Sunday, the Warriors will have 14 players under contract. Myers said the 15th spot will be an open competition between Mychal Mulder, Gary Payton II and possibly others. The Warriors also signed a two-way con-

tract with point guard Chris Chiozza. Myers said trade talks are “dormant at this moment in time” after the team was linked to huge offseason moves that included Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard, Pascal Siakam and Ben Simmons before the draft. Instead, the Warriors doubled down on a youth movement, drafting teenagers Jonathan Kuminga

and Moses Moody and adding coaches Kenny Atkinson and Dejan Milojevi, who are both known for player development. That’s a far cry from 2016 when the Warriors signed four-time scoring champion Kevin Durant to a championship team or 2018 when fourtime All-Star DeMarcus Cousins called Golden State about a midlevel exception.

No-hit: Historic From Page A7 out. That gave Gilbert a cushion the Padres never came close to overcoming in what ended up a 7-0 Diamondbacks victory. In his fourth bigleague appearance, Gilbert allowed only Pham to reach base, as the Padres lead-off hitter walked three times. Pham was erased on a double play grounder in the first inning and was doubled up on Adam Frazier’s line drive in the fourth inning. So Gilbert faced just one more than the minimum 27 batters. His 102 pitches were

nine more than he had thrown even in Triple-A this season. His first three games since his first-ever call-up on Aug. 3 were relief appearances totaling 3 2/3 innings. He got through the eighth inning on three pitches. In the ninth, Trent Grisham and HaSeong Kim watched called third strikes for the first two outs of the ninth. It was the Diamondbacks’ third no-hitter and their first at Chase Field. It was the 11th no-hitter ever thrown against the Padres and first since four Dodgers pitchers combined for one on May 4, 2018, in Monterrey, Mexico.

Bulldogs: Ready From Page A7 each an All-MEL first team choice, as well as defensive lineman Luke Levengood and Luke Sartorio, both All-MEL second team picks. Papadopoulos sees “team speed and chemistry” as strengths of the team, and lists “continuing to develop depth” as his primary concern. As with other football teams, the Bulldogs had preparations for this season impacted by playing what should

have been their fall 2020 campaign just three months ago. “The training schedule had some adjustments as we were still in season and our current juniors were sophs playing JV, which gave our current team less time together,” Papadopoulos said. “The amount of time on the front end was affected a bit.” The Bulldogs open their fall 2021 season by hosting Davis on Friday.

School From Page One school. He is looking forward to his class. His father, Feliciano Ramirez, 44, is excited, too, because this is his last child entering school. “My daughters are both in college,” the father of four said. Bernardo started reading last year and he hopes this will help ease him into his new school. Many parents noted that school supplies are expensive this year, more so than last year. “You can spend a lot on school supplies,” Feliciano Ramirez said. “It is cheaper to be ignorant.” With 1,500 backpacks to give away at St. Mark’s, the line outside wound around the parking lot with hundreds waiting nearly two hours before organizers opened for the day. “Usually we have 1,200 backpacks,” said Sheila McCabe, assistant superintendent of Educational Services in the Fairfield-Suisun School District. “Anything we have left over we will keep at the Family Resource Center for kids. If they need one and we have extras, they can come and get one.” The goal every year is to make sure every child is prepared for school. “Last year, it was different. We did this as a drive-thru at the mall,” Superintendent Kris Corey said. “It is just so exciting to be able to do this in-person again.” Staff have been stuffing backpacks for weeks and were thrilled when they received donated backpacks that were already filled with supplies. The venue offered Covid-19 vaccines and free eye exams along with booths with information on many types of services offered in the city.

District From Page One is to convert the 180 oneand two-bedroom units into 60 affordable units “restricted to households making at or below 80% of area median income, 60 units at 100% (area median income), and 60 units at 120% (area median income).” The bonds would be paid off using rent income over 30 years. The property could be transferred to a nonprofit after year 15. While the city would not be obligated for any upfront costs or payment on the debt, as part of the authority, the property would become exempt from property tax. “This means that all taxing entities (city, county, school district, etc.) forgo (receiving) property taxes,” the staff report states. “The tax revenue loss creates a public subsidy to the project which makes the authority’s program structure feasible. With the reduction in operating cost to the property due to elimination of property tax, rents may be reduced for qualifying households. The proforma

Kim Liew of Fast Real Estate donated $1,000 worth of $25 Target gift cards. “I have kids in school and I think it is important to give back,” Liew said. Up the road, officials and congregants at Mount Calvary Baptist Church set up several tables outside the church with piles of backpacks broken down by age groups. Parents just had to drive up, pop open the trunk and volunteers would place them inside. “We have 662 backpacks this year,” the Rev. Tony Adams said. The church has been helping parents get ready for a new school year for 13 years. Doug Wilson’s wife, Latasha, and daughter, Tamia Wilson, started the program originally as Reach One, Teach One. He lost his wife nearly a year ago to issues from high blood pressure but continues the work that his family started by coming out to help. “Really, my daughter started it and then her mom got involved and then I did,” Wilson said. “It was a way to bless our community.” Wilson said he has found that continuing the work is lifting his spirits and he didn’t think he would have made it if not for continuing the community outreach program. “My wife loved everybody. She wanted to take care of everybody and make them smile. She really did sacrifice her life to give back,” he said. The backpack giveaway was a huge blessing for Celaya Lopez of Fairfield, who has four children who range from infant to high school age. “A friend told me about it and I’m not working so this was a great help for my family,” she said. The first day of school for Fairfield-Suisun School District students is Wednesday. provided by the developer suggests total rent savings of $441,960 assuming all restricted units versus current market rents,” the report states. The estimated loss to the city in property taxes is $79,811 in the first year, $1.4 million after 15 years and $3.2 million from the full term. If the property is sold, the city would benefit, up to $16.5 million from year 15 to year 30. Those proceeds would be shared with other taxing entities. Also on the agenda as part of consent agenda are: n Authorization for all employee contract amendments to provide, among other details, a 2% cost of living adjustments in exchange for the unions extending their contracts through June 30, 2022. n Appropriation of $5.6 million in American Rescue Act funds for the Heart of Fairfield West Texas Street Relief Sewer Project ($3.1 million), a Fairfield homeless navigation center ($1.5 million) and $1 million for the purchase of property to relocate the Police Activities League Center. n The city response to the Solano County civil grand jury report on asset forfeitures by the city.

Island From Page One in 2017, when retired U.S. Navy Capt. Ralph Parrott, on a brief layover at Travis Air Force Base on his way overseas, took a day trip with his wife to Mare Island and stumbled upon a cemetery in what struck him as deplorable condition. Some research revealed that when the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo’s main employer since it opened in 1854, closed in 1996, the Navy left the island in the hands of the city of Vallejo, without a mechanism in place for the cemetery’s upkeep. The site fell into disrepair in the intervening years as the cash-strapped city was unable to effectively maintain it, though not for lack of trying by volunteers. Parrott found Vallejo resident and longtime veterans advocate Nestor Aliga, a retired U.S. Army colonel, and the two set out to rectify what they considered a serious wrong. Along the way, they garnered support from many U.S. military veterans, politicians and others to help navigate the system. There was pushback from the VA, which argued that the transfer would set a bad precedent. Nevertheless, Thompson in the House of Representatives and Dianne Feinstein in the Senate championed bills to make it happen. The legislation, first introduced in 2018, directed the secretary of

Creek From Page One the beaver tour and creek cleanup. “My mom was looking through stuff on the internet and she thought it might be a good thing to do,” the younger deRosier said. He said he enjoys the outdoor activities that have been lost to scouting during the pandemic, and particularly camping, his favorite activity. “And we are absolutely worried about the beavers,” he said. While Holsworth spent most of the tour teaching about the beavers and the creek environment, she also told the troop members about how the city comes in each year and tears down the largest of the dams. The city contends that the dams contribute to flooding issues, and materials from the structures, when they break up, have contributed to millions of dollars in damages to city infrastructure. Holsworth said the

Health From Page One other mitigation measures, such as masking, are implemented, district officials report. This is consistent with school from guidance the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There’s also a degree of personal responsibility baked corey into the safety measures. For example, students and staff should practice good hygiene by washing hands and not touching their faces. Schools will also nonessential visitors, volunteers and activities that involve external groups or organizations with people who are not fully vaccinated, particularly in areas where

Veterans Affairs to seek out an agreement with the city of Vallejo, under which the city would transfer control of the Mare Island Naval Cemetery to the VA with the obligation of maintaining the cemetery in the future. That bill became law Jan. 1, 2021. “I am very relieved and pleased because the nearly 1,000 soldiers, Marines, sailors and family members buried at the (Mare Island Naval Cemetery) will finally get their due respect from the federal government as promised by President Lincoln’s words and the VA motto, ‘to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan,’ and as originally mandated by the National Cemeteries Act of 1973,” Aliga said. “It has been nerve-wracking for me in Vallejo and my friends Ralph Parrott and Thomas Bandzul in Washington, D.C., because” . . . the VA continued to object to “taking over the (cemetery).” The hope now is that the transfer will be complete by July 4, 2022, and the Mare Island Naval Cemetery will be a VA National Cemetery, “just like the Benicia Arsenal Post Cemetery – the oldest Army burial grounds on the West Coast,” Aliga said. Both will likely be managed by the staff of the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon, he said. Thompson’s office staff, though, said that while he’s “very pleased with this development,” he thinks the process will take about two years. “We have heard from the VA that the trans-

fer is going to take two or more years due to the legal work and admin review,” Thompson representative Alex Macfarlane said. “We do not yet know if there will be a public ceremony.” Initial repair work has already occurred and anyone who had seen the site before would notice the difference, Thompson said. “The National Guard was brought in for cleanup and repair,” he said. “That laid the base for work that will succeed it. The VA has a standard by which they maintain these facilities. Improvements will be made to bring it up to a standard befitting the stature of the people buried there.” For his part, Parrott, who lives in the Washington, D.C., area, said the whole episode proves that the American system works, if you work it hard enough. “Although we experienced some setbacks along the way, the success of the effort, to me, reflects how our government is supposed to work,” he said. “When all administrative efforts to solve the situation of the Mare Island Naval Cemetery had failed, we appealed to the Congress to provide the necessary legal framework for the VA to assume ownership of the cemetery. Congressman Thompson and Senator Feinstein and their great staffs crafted the necessary legislation to accomplish the transfer. Then Congressman Thompson went the extra mile to ensure the timely implementation of the legislation.” Parrott expressed gratitude on behalf of

all those who helped along the way. “My colleagues will be forever grateful for the efforts of these fine public servants,” he said. “I think we can all be very proud of the effort to secure justice for the Mare Island Naval Cemetery. The transfer of the Mare Island Naval Cemetery to the Department of Veterans Affairs will ensure the restoration, preservation and maintenance of this historic burial (site) in perpetuity. This has been my goal since I became involved over three years ago. The effort has involved many different people and organizations over the years. Everyone involved should feel very proud, as I am, to have been associated with this fine effort.” But instead of patting himself on the back, Thompson considers the mission to have been a privilege. “This was an honor to have been able to work on this,” he said. “(The Mare Island Naval Cemetery) is a phenomenal place; hallowed ground that needs and deserves all the respect we can muster. So to be able to work with my colleagues to make sure it’s maintained as it should be from now on . . . I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be able to do that.” Thompson said that anyone who has not done so should pay a visit to the site. “Everyone – especially every Vallejoan – should go out and visit that great spot, and take advantage of a true national treasure that’s right in our backyard,” he said.

Covid-19 pandemic has slowed her campaign for the city to use other alternatives than simply tearing down the dams, but she said she has stayed in touch with city officials, and specifically Councilman Chuck Timm. “I’ll just say I haven’t received a response in my favor; I’ll just say that,” Holsworth said. But that has not stopped her from trying to keep the public educated, including conducting tours to anyone who wants to come out and learn about the beavers. “We did a creek cleanup; that was in June. And I have adopted the area of Laurel Creek where they (razed) the dam,” she said. The creek adoption actually took place through the city’s road adoption program, and includes a signed two-year commitment to keep the creek clean and to “represent the creek well.” Prior to the tour beginning, Holsworth had “salted” the area with four stuffed beaver toys for the scouts to

find, which they did with little difficulty, once they realized what they were looking for among the natural sites. She provided the scouts maps to follow along the tour. Holsworth has gone so far as to name each of the dams along that stretch of creek, such as the skunk dam due to the unexpected visitor arriving while they were there. In some cases, a cluster of dams fall under a single moniker, such as the Dickson Hill Complex – named for the nearby street. “They build so many dams close together to slow the water down,” Holsworth said. But she also told them that she knew very little about beavers and their environment until she took up the cause to try to preserve their habitat on Laurel Creek. Some dams, as she pointed out, are made of tree material and mud, but in areas where trees are not abundant, they are built with cattails and fennels. She was able to show the scouts

where the beavers had gnawed on trees, and an area referred to as an “otter latrine,” on one of the banks. She also told the scouts that some beavers live in burrows built into the creek banks, while others live in open water lodges. The news that the city tears down the dams each fall did not sit all that well with the scouts. Siddharth Kishan, 12, also described the tour as “amazing.” He said he would like to be a businessman “like Rockefeller,” or perhaps a “Lego engineer,” or a doctor. Owen Mills, 13, got into scouting because of his now brother-in-law, who was a member of the same troop as he grew up. Mills’ grandfather was an Eagle Scout. As others walking along the creek came across the scouts, several noted they, too, had been in scouts in their younger days, recalling their exciting adventures. “This is really fun,” said Logan Brooks, 13. “You can really see all of nature.”

there is moderate-tohigh Covid-19 community transmission – which at this time includes much of the country. The district’s communication protocol will be followed when people on campus and exposed to Covid-19; have had close contacts to someone who tested positive for Covid-19; or are confirmed positive for Covid-19. These and related measures are designed to smooth the transition to in-person instruction once the school year begins Wednesday. Parents and guardians who do not want their children to participate in in-person instruction may apply for enrollment in an independent study program. Those families interested in participating in a long-term independent study program for

children in transitional kindergarten through eighth grade will enroll in the Virtual Academy of Fairfield-Suisun. Families with students in ninth through 12th grades will access the independent study program through their comprehensive high school. School district trustees also received an update on changes to graduation requirements as they relate to the pandemic. Those changes, put into place through Assembly Bill 104, eliminate additional graduation requirement at the school district level, beyond those required by the state. The law also allows juniors and seniors who are not on track to graduate to potentially take a fifth year of high school in order to complete the baseline requirements for graduation. Corey noted that these policies may change over the course of the

school year as officials at the federal, state and local levels respond to the shifting nature of the pandemic. Schools across the state shut down in March 2020 as the pandemic took hold in the U.S. Children and teens completed the 2019-2020 academic year through remote learning that relied heavily on online programs. The 2020-2021 school year began remotely, with several area private schools returning to inperson learning soon after the start of the academic year. The Fairfield-Suisun district and other public schools in the area followed suit this past spring with a limited return to campus known as a hybrid model, where students received instruction both in class and online. The new school year starts with a full return to inperson instruction.

Fairfield man recalls his artistic dad, plans for his own mural tiles Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Growing up the son of a mural artist, Fairfield resident Bob Wagner had a ready-made source of inspiration and adventure. An exhibit that features work of his father, Guillermo Wagner Granizo, wraps up this weekend at the Vacaville Art Gallery. An exhibit remains in Benicia’s Camel Barns. There are also many public spaces with his father’s tile murals, including Vacaville. Wagner, who taught drama at Fairfield High School for more than 30 years, remembers his father’s influence as early as second grade when health issues kept him from attending school. His bed was surrounded by art supplies. remember “I Dad showing me how to draw,” Wagner said. When his father was commissioned to do murals for the Steinhart Aquarium, Granizo had a key to the building. The same for the San Francisco Zoo. Granizo would wake his son at 5 a.m. Saturdays so he could walk the zoo donkeys at 6 a.m. The two often worked side by side on movies and videos. “It was sensational,” Wagner said.

When Wagner began teaching, his father often provided him advice on making sets for the plays as well as jokes for the scripts. Wagner is now working with his father’s agent and using his father’s techniques to create his own art. Granizo created a mural style for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. The Olympic Committee is seeking the same style for the 2028 Olympics, Wagner said, when the games return to Los Angeles. Wagner is often asked what spurred his father’s autobiographical murals. “His great-grandfather was a mean guy,” Wagner said. He got into poker games and when things didn’t go his way, he was known to turn the table over. Granizo’s grandfather, Francisco Granizo, came from a wealthy family. In his teens, he was sent to New York to study at Fordham University. He returned to Nicaragua where he was told to marry his cousin. They had five children. After the death of his Francisco’s mother, Francisco squandered his inheritance and began to lose his political influence. He was forced into exile. The family moved to San Francisco See Mural, Page B12

FAIRFIELD — Eddie Davis is a busy musician. The Armijo High School graduate picked up music at Fairfield Elementary, but chose sports when he was a freshman. “I had my guitar but I didn’t practice it,” he said. Davis met Bill Schallock in his senior year and took lessons from him. “It changed my life,” Davis said. “He taught me a lot, getting to the point where I could play it (guitar).” Schallock’s son, David Schallock, played with the Bay Area-based Sons of Champlin. Davis in his younger days would do his Teamsters bakery route and play in bands at night. Afriend asked him in the late 1990s to pick up the second set at a San Francisco club. “I got to sit in with the pros,” he said. “I learned a lot.” The early morning work hours and late-night gig hours took a toll and Davis felt he wasn’t giving his bandmates and the band the necessary attention, so he stepped aside. When Davis retired in 2006, he had a nine-unit apartment complex in Concord. He sold it for what he describes as a decent profit. That was followed by an investment, and a move to Okla-

William T. Wiley exhibit comes to di Rosa museum Daily Republic Staff

NAPA — Step inside the studio of the late Bay Area artist William T. Wiley and experience the sights and sounds of his iconic San Francisco Bay Area studio. The di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art announces a new exhibition, “Fort Phooey: Wiley in the Studio,” which opens Friday and runs through Oct. 31. This exhibition recreates Wiley’s well-known studio – a work of art in itself and a meeting place for generations of Bay Area artists. The exhibition will combine more than 50 original works from di Rosa’s collection with archival objects on loan from the artist’s estate. Wiley’s Marin County studio was perhaps his greatest work of art. Densely layered with words, images and objects that meandered into his work and back out again, it was nothing less than an immersive assemblage. “Being in the studio was like entering into a Wiley artwork,” said curator Kate Eilertsen, in a press release. “The effect could

Among them is a 95-yearold who was at Iwo Jima during World War II. Davis visits him for a few hours once a week and they play music together. Davis and friends will kick off the 2021 Tomato and Vine Festival on Saturday. The band will include Bob Sakoi on trumpet, Perry Castelli on Hammond organ, Bob Jacobs on bass and Joe Pepper on drums. Davis recalled summers when he would ride his bike to the bowling alley and listen to Jacobs’ band, the Vi-Counts, play in the Geronimo Room. “I could peek into the lounge and listen from the lobby but he never knew me. I was just a punk kid on a Schwinn Stingray,” Davis wrote on his Facebook page. The two met in a big band and have been musical friends ever since. Eddie Davis and Friends will play a selection of hard bop, a cross between bebop and gospel, Davis said. On the setlist is “The Girl From Impanema” and “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” to name just two. You can catch Davis and friends from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday at 3 Restaurant, 721 Texas St., Fairfield. They return again Aug. 29.

No masks. Masks! No masks. Masks! It’s gotten to the point that more and more of us pay no attention to official orders. We’re told to “follow the science.” OK, let’s look at the data that’s available – and there’s a lot out there if you have time to hunt for it. First, the novel cronavirus is a tiny critter, barely 1/10 of a micron (µ) in size. A micron is approximately 40 millionthsloki of an inch – in real numbers, 0.000039370 inch. Rather than deal with so many zeroes, let’s talk microns. Now, the ordinary double-layered cloth masks have a mesh (porosity) of 15 to 70 microns; so a coronavirus alone could pass right through. An N-95 mask’s porosity varies between .15 and .30 microns, still a lot of room for a solo virus. But a virus doesn’t travel alone. Respiratory viruses like corona and flu are transmitted human to human via exhalation; that is sneezing, coughing, even talking and singing. The virus is carried on drops of our exhaled moisture, which can be as small as 1 micron when we sneeze, to 20 microns speaking, and 100 microns when we cough. Masks can handle those numbers.

ties that benefit entire communities. Local governments throughout the state can examine how Lodi, Clovis, Riverside and Ontario have been able to keep fees so much lower than Sacramento before they approve new fees. The Legislature is considering Assembly Bill 602 to standardize local fee calculations and to create greater accountability and transparency in fee calculations and payment methods. This legislation should be passed, but with additional provisions so that local governments may reduce and eliminate unnecessary fees. Also, because some fees are the result of state mandates for goals such as better water quality or helping fund affordable housing, other methods to fund these essential needs should continue to be explored to reduce the burden on the next generation of homeowners. As discussions around a bipartisan federal infrastructure package and state budget talks continue, members of Congress and state legislators should be open to working further with local governments. Allocating funds to support broad societal benefits like parks, water and sewer infrastructure improvements and affordable housing would help ensure equity of these needs throughout the state. Bringing housing demand and production into better balance would help improve affordability, but so would reducing costs to produce housing. And we know that is possible.

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

he recall election aimed at Gov. Gavin Newsom is close enough to ponder what would happen if, in fact, he is forced out of office a few weeks hence. He almost certainly would be succeeded by one of the Republican would-be replacements – and at the moment, conservative/ libertarian radio talk show host Larry Elder is leading in the polls. If anything, Newsom’s strategy of asking supporters not to vote for any of the 46 would-be successors heightens Elder’s chances, because if they do vote for someone, they would likely favor the least conservative of the Republican candidates, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. A Newsom loss and a Faulconer win would be a dose of bad news for Dan Walters double the state’s Democratic Party because of all the Republican candidates, he would have the best chance of winning a full term in 2022. The model for a Faulconer governorship could be Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger, who became governor after Democrat Gray Davis was recalled in 2003. Initially, Schwarzenegger and Democratic legislators quarreled, but eventually they developed a workable rapport – much to the dismay of conservative Republicans – and Schwarzenegger easily won a full term in 2006. Conversely, were Elder to top the field and succeed Newsom, the Capitol would be tied up in knots for more than a year as he attempted to impose his will and Democrats thwarted him at every turn. Governors have a lot of potential power, but using it depends on having a cooperative Legislature. Newsom assumed vast authority to bend or ignore laws when he declared an emergency to deal with Covid-19 – a performance that fueled the discontent that put his recall on the ballot. However, Newsom could do what he did only because the Legislature acceded, initially giving him a pot of money to spend as he saw fit and abandoning the Capitol for many weeks. His emergency decrees are still in effect, but the Legislature has constitutional authority to end them if it wishes. As governor, Elder might attempt to emulate Newsom by wielding emergency powers, but the Legislature would immediately void them. He could try to replace top-level administration officials, but his appointees would have to win state Senate confirmation and it would certainly balk. He could veto Democrats’ bills, but they have enough legislative seats to override his vetoes. Elder would submit a 2022-23 budget to the Legislature in January but with three-quarters of the Legislature, Democrats could enact their own budget and override Elder’s veto to put it in place. Although Democrats are issuing dire predictions of what Elder might do as governor, he really would have little power to do anything significant. With huge legislative majorities, Democrats could simply wait out the 15 months of an Elder governorship while gearing up to retake the office in 2022. Elder would complain loudly, but ideologically he’s out of touch with blue California and would have won the governorship with votes from a tiny percentage of the state’s electorate, making him little more than an aberrational footnote to history. While this would be happening, or not happening, Democratic politicians would be scrambling to become Elder’s successor, beginning with the June 7 top-two primary election. Newsom could run again and if he did, would probably come out on top in the primary. If he opted out, Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis would probably be the Democratic favorite but there are other ambitious politicians in the wings. None of this comes to pass if Newsom beats the recall, which is still the most likely outcome. But it’s by no means a certainty.

Now the smallest droplets can stay airborne for a while and be carried some distance if there’s a breeze. The larger droplets will fall to the ground or some surface. There’s still a question about how long the virus can survive outside a human host. So, bottom line, if you’re in an environment where infections are prevalent, even if you’ve been vaccinated, it might be wise to mask up. There’s evidence that some vaccinated

Today’s birthday Close relationships are the beautiful music of your life. You’ll make connections with astounding ease. You’re never more than a few sentences away from striking the chord of familiarity. Harmonious dealings will be your trademark. You’ll highlight commonalities, bridge differences and inspire brilliant collaborations of prosperity and healing. Aquarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 44, 1, 18 and 30.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To ready yourself for something new, you must first reset. You can’t try again until after you’ve hung up. Put in new numbers all you want, but it won’t start a new call until you disconnect the old one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). One thing leads to another. You’ll soon find yourself sorting through a mystery with an uncomfortable awareness of the risk factor. This is the start of an ongoing adventure. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have something to say, though it will benefit you to hold back. Ask another question. Listen hard. There’s more to learn and at least one key piece of information that will have you changing your mind or your strategy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You did what they wanted last time – and the time before that, and before that. It’s your turn to do it your way and in the timing you’d prefer to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll get puzzled looks and field questions that can’t be answered. Sometimes, the moral of the story is that there is no story – just a list of things to figure out before a foundation can be laid. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Getting to know people is your forte and pleasure. You’ve a talent for drawing out the real story so you can better understand who people are and their motivating passions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may be able to execute a solo mission cheaper and faster, but it won’t be nearly as useful as what you do in a team. Collaborations will net the best results and come together more easily than you anticipate. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are fancier and trendier ways to solve problems, but new isn’t always better. The old tool works; use it until it doesn’t. You’ll save time and money not having to deal with a learning curve. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There will be something or someone driving you crazy all day, making you yearn for peace and quiet. As a result, you’ll be motivated to do remarkable things. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Love is intense and transformative. Love overshadows, overtakes and renders all prior messes and mistakes insignificant. Love is a reset button. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are in charge of what you say and do, but the meaning others extract from it is entirely their own. Let go of caring about that and you will be set free. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s strange to admit, but you do get tired of seeing things from your own point of view. You’ll be won over by the person who offers you another perch and a different experience. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Among the several Jennifer Lawrence projects slated for release in the months to come is the much-anticipated true crime drama “Mob Girl,” based on the experiences of mob wife Arlyne Brickman who became an FBI informant. Lawrence is a versatile Leo, born when the sun and Venus were both in the sign of entertainment and three hard-hitting outside planets were in the sign of goal-getting, businessminded Capricorn.

The National Minority Donor Awareness Month campaign began in 1996 to address the large gap between donors and those

awaiting tissue and organ transplants from communities of color. Each day, as many as 20 people die awaiting a transplant.

This is Minority Donor Awareness Month; there’s work to be done

Touro University Communications Special to the Daily Republic

ugust is National Minority Donor Awareness Month, which celebrates its 25th year this year. The awareness campaign began in 1996 to address the large gap between donors and those awaiting tissue and organ transplants from communities of color. According to the website DonateLife. net, as much as 60% of the people awaiting transplants are Hispanic/Latinx, African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian and multiracial groups, even though people from these groups make up just over a third of the total U.S. population. Nearly half of those are African Americans, but Black donors are in great shortage. There were more than 8,400 African American recipients awaiting a match in 2020, but just under 2,400 African American donors. The gap was nearly as large for Hispanic/Latinx groups, followed very closely by Asian/Pacific Islander populations. The result is that these groups are at much higher risk of advancing to late stage and end stage disease progression for things like kidney disease. Successful transplants can take place regardless of ethnicities but longerterm success has a much greater chance

between people with similar ethnic backgrounds, according to Donor.org. To show how dramatically even one donor can affect the lives of others, DonateLife.net estimates a single donor could potentially save or improve the lives of more than 80 people. And the race to populate the registry with suitable donors is one experts are taking seriously, which is why the awareness campaign was started in the first place. “It is important to have a wide diversity of transplant donors to match with the variety of transplant recipients,” said Dr. Nicole Pena, associate professor and chair of the osteopathic manipulative medicine department at Touro University California in Vallejo. “Matches are based on the compatibility of blood types and tissue markers, not on gender, race or ethnicity, but there is a better chance of finding a compatible match among diverse donors that include the recipient’s ethnicity,” Pena said. An awareness campaign is a good start, but Pena believes there is work to be done behind the numbers. “The discrepancy between the numbers of minority donors and the number of minority recipients needs to be investigated further than simply campaigning for more diverse donors,” she said. “It is time to look at the social determinants of health and structural

barriers preventing people of color from choosing to become donors in the first place and addressing these barriers affecting our communities.” Each day, as many as 20 people die awaiting a transplant of some sort and a new person is added to the waiting list approximately every 10 minutes. The need is particularly great with kidney disease. Around 70% of all patients awaiting a kidney transplant come from one of these minority groups and the wait to receive a kidney donation can be as long as 3 to 5 years. Experts point out that, while organ and tissue donation is often associated with a time after a donor dies, things like kidney donation can take place through a living donor, with both donor and recipient often continuing on to live full, productive lives after the transplant. Interested donors can see if they are a suitable candidate at RegisterMe.org. For more information or to find our ways to help spread awareness about Minority Donor Month, visit DonateLife.net.

Exchange extends layaway for electronics Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is showing Air Force families that it matters where they shop, allowing more time to pay for electronics during backto-school season. Shoppers at the Travis Air Force Base Exchange can use layaway now through Sept. 2 to hold tax-free purchases of computers, notebooks, tablets and iPads – items that are not typically eligible for the program. “Technology is evolving quickly and having the right tablet or computer can be critical to academic achievement,” Travis Air Force Bsae Exchange General Manager Phonda Bishop said in a press release. “The Exchange’s layaway program is an affordable, practical way for students to stay on top of their studies.” A $3 service fee and a deposit of 15% are required to hold items on layaway. Items must be picked up by Sept. 2. Shoppers can visit customer service at the Travis Exchange for details.

Capt. Wade Gallup, 7th Airlift Squadron pilot, approaches a KC-46 Pegasus during refueling training over central Wash., Jan. 30, 2019.

With its multiple options the KC-46 can refuel Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and partner nation aircraft.

AMC moves forward with 2nd KC-46 milestone Headquarters Air Mobility Command Public Affairs SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. — Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost, commander of Air Mobility Command, approved a second Interim Capability Release mission set for the KC-46A Pegasus on Aug. 5. This is the first ICR decision related to the air refueling boom mission set, allowing the KC-46 to become taskable by U.S. Transportation Command for the C-17 Globemaster III, B-52H Stratofortress and KC-46 receivers. “We have reviewed many of the KC-46 operational employment criteria over the past several months and it was clear we were ready for another milestone,” said Brig. Gen. Ryan Samuelson, AMC deputy director of Strategy, Plans, Requirements and Programs and KC-46 Cross Functional Team lead. “Though a fully mission capable aircraft is a few years away,

releasing capability our KC-46 bases have demonstrated they can safely and effectively support and employ is a large part of how AMC is accelerating the KC-46 on the path to becoming fully operational and combat-ready.” This decision enables the Pegasus aircraft and crews to accept operational taskings that would otherwise be filled by KC-135s and KC-10s and provides predicted reliability and capacity for joint force air refueling requirements. The first ICR decision approved the KC-46A Pegasus’ Centerline Drogue System mission set July 9. There is no timeline associated with the ICR plan, which instead focuses on establishing confidence measures that allow the AMC commander and other senior leaders to qualitatively and quantitatively assess achievements at ICR milestones. If confidence measures are not met, then a particular mission

set will not be certified for operational use and crews will continue to fly training, exercise and demonstration missions until the operational confidence measures are met. Despite restrictions and deficiencies, the KC-46 continues to demonstrate its growing operational capacity. The KC-46 has safely conducted more than 4,700 air refueling contacts with C-17, B-52 and KC-46 receivers since October 2020 on various training and exercise missions. Crews have flown more than 5,000 sorties, with more than 2,700 missions executed during the 2021 calendar year as of July 1. Nearly 1,000 of those missions supported testing and joint force taskings around the world. The achievement of these confidence measures resulted in the AMC formally operationalizing the boom capabilities for these receivers. Construction continues at Travis Air Force

Base for a new three-bay hangar to serve as the base of operations for the new KC-46A Pegasus as the aircraft continues to be put through its paces. Travis Air Force Base is scheduled to receive this latest air mobility platform in August 2023. It’s the first new aircraft at the base since August 2006. Travis’ anticipated complement of 24 KC-46s is expected by the first quarter of 2025. McConnell Air Force Base received its first KC-46 in January 2019. The KC-46A is designed to boost the air power and mobility operations of the Air Force. The high-capacity aircraft, which displaces the KC-10 Extender and replaces the KC-135 Stratotanker, will aid global missions and improve the ability to respond rapidly to crises and contingency operations around the globe. Travis was selected as the West Coast home for the Pegasus in January

2017 for several reasons: geographic location, existing tanker programs and better infrastructure capacity, according to Gary Thresher, contract support, managing Travis’ projects for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center. Basing the KC-46A at Travis requires numerous projects to renovate existing facility space or construct new facilities for mission functions that lacked sufficient resources or did not previously exist, 1st Lt. Alexander Bellows, KC-46 program integration office bed down project manager, has said. That work continues at the Fairfield base, to include the construction of a threebay maintenance hangar at an estimated cost of $137 million, with completion anticipated in February 2023. A total of approximately $188 million will be spent on projects to make Travis ready for the new tanker.

Vaca native participates in exercise aboard Navy warship Lt. Omari Faulkner Navy Office of Community Outreach

VACAVILLE — A Vacaville native is participating in the Large-Scale Exercise aboard USS Whidbey Island (LSD 41), a U.S. Navy warship that transports and launches Marines from sea to shore as part of amphibious assault operations. Petty Officer 2nd Class Blake Na, a 2015 Vacaville High School graduate, joined the Navy six years ago. “My family has served in the Armed Forces since the Civil War,” Na said. “Service is part of my family history and a right of passage for my family.” According to Na, the values required to succeed in the military are similar to those found in Vacaville. “I learned to treat everyone the way you want to be treated,” Na said. LSE 2021 demonstrates the Navy’s ability to employ precise, lethal and overwhelming force globally across three naval component commands, five numbered

fleets and 17 time zones. LSE 2021 merges live and synthetic training capabilities to create an intense, robust training environment. It connects high-fidelity training and real-world operations, to build knowledge and skills needed in today’s complex, multipledomain and contested environment. “During Large Scale Exercise 21, USS Whidbey Island demonstrated enhanced medical capabilities while seamlessly integrating our Fleet Surgical Team,” said the commanding officer of USS Whidbey Island, Cmdr. Kristel Anne O’Canas. “This critical mission set will allow a dynamic force employment in the surface fleet by expanding medical care capacity across various surface combatants.” Whidbey Island is designed to deliver Marines and their equipment in support of amphibious operations including landings via Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC), conventional landing craft and helicopters, onto

hostile shores. Homeported in Little Creek, Virginia, Whidbey Island is longer than two football fields at 610 feet. The ship is 84 feet wide and weighs more than 16,000 tons. It has four diesel engines that can push the ship through the water in excess of 25 mph. Serving in the Navy means Na is part of a world that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy. “Overall sea power and international outreach ensures the safety of the American people and people all around the world,” Na said. With more than 90% of all trade traveling by sea, and 95% of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to a strong and ready Navy.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Blake Na, of Vacaville, serves aboard the USS Whidbey Island. As a member of the U.S. Navy, Na as well as other sailors know they are a part of a service tradition providing unforgettable experiences through leadership development, world affairs and

humanitarian assistance. Their efforts will have a lasting effect around the globe and for generations of sailors who will follow. “It’s an honor to serve and to truly be an American,” Na said.

father, who passionately desires to bless his children, shower them with his love, and receive their love in return. We see over and over, people demand to do their own thing, and it never turns out well. We are the same. We keep returning to our sin because the pull is too strong and the lusts of our flesh cannot seem to be harnessed. The solution? God sent his son to pay the penalty for every one of our sins. The only requirement from us? Confess we have sinned, acknowledge God’s son paid for them, giving his life as payment in full at the cross, and agreeing to follow him. He promises if we do that, he will give us his spirit to dwell in us, and we will become “born-again.” We then start a new spirit-led life. He loves you. If he’s knocking on the door of your heart, open it to him today. The Rev. Noel Reese is the pastor at Calvary Chapel Rio Vista. He can be reached at www.calvarychapelriovista.com.

In Deuteronomy, a loving Father God makes strict rules for his people to follow. He does this to guard against “outside interests” that will “lead his people away from their father’s protective arms of love.”

‘Free Guy’ has trouble straddling In brief Lizzo rags on the haters on ‘Rumors’ real, video game worlds Adam Graham

MOVIE

The Detroit News

he background characters in video games are meant to be just that: background. They don’t have backstories or character arcs. They’re simply there to move the main character along on his quest, whether it’s to save the princess or blow up half a metropolis. Is this dismissive? Not really, these are zeroes and ones we’re talking about, not beings with souls. What the muddled action comedy “Free Guy” wrestles with is the question of whether background characters should have full lives, and if they did, how we would feel about them. Director Shawn Levy and writers Zak Penn and Matt Lieberman work overtime to convince us we would and should care. But would we, really? That’s the main problem with “Free Guy,” which operates a bit like “Groundhog Day” in the video game world, cross-spliced with “The Truman Show.” Guy (Ryan Reynolds) is a nonplayable character (or NPC) in “Free City,” a popular “Grand Theft Auto”-style video game where gamers wreak all sorts of lawless havoc on its digital city streets. Guy,

dressed in his generic blue shirt and khakis, is a teller at a bank which gets robbed umpteen times a day. Don’t worry, he’s not ever in any real danger because again, he’s not real. But what if he . . . was? It turns out that Guy is more sentient than he’s initially made out to be, as he has code leftover from a previous game, designed by Millie (“Killing Eve’s” Jodie Comer) and Keys (“Stranger Things’” Joe Keery), the premise of which was based on people watching the lives of video game characters unfold as if they were real people. Maybe it would work; people still watch

“Big Brother,” and those people are only a few variables off from video game characters. Millie and Keys’ game was squelched by Antwan (Taika Waititi in a cartoonishly over-the-top performance), the hipster man-child head of video game publisher Soonami, who ripped off its code for “Free City.” Now Millie is poking around inside the game, dressed as the badass Molotov Girl and seeking evidence of theft, when she catches the eye of Guy, who has been programmed to fall in love with her. “Free Guy” – its title refers both to video game 1-ups and the notion of Guy finding his freedom – bounces between the real world and the video game world without really establishing a credible set of rules in either space. In the game, Guy begins to awaken, and outside, fans and the media begin to take notice. His popularity is covered in the mainstream – he even becomes a “Jeopardy!” question, read by Alex Trebek – and “Free Guy” becomes one of those movies where large groups of people are shown gawking at monitors, often in a public place, as a way to quantify one’s popularity. Well people must be invested, they’re all looking at a

screen together! Reynolds is in sweet mode, which means he’s only lightly snarky, while Comer isn’t able to show off the full range of her talents or dig into her character the way that she does as Villanelle on “Killing Eve.” Waititi is on another planet where “Free Guy” is a satire of the video game industry, a premise not supported by the script, which aims for earnest and sweet. “Free Guy” is a mixed bag: it’s full of sharp visuals and gags that will appeal to video game fans, and features a handful of cameos both from the movies and the streaming world (as well as nods to the two biggest pieces of intellectual property in the Disney portfolio, proving that these days, even original screenplays are slaves to our franchise overlords). But it’s overly busy and spreads itself thin in trying to bridge multiple worlds, which aren’t linked by a consistent tone. It does do a pretty convincing job of making the viewer believe we would all be invested in the story of an anonymous character inside a digital world. But like a lot of video games, it only matters in the moment. Put the controller down and suddenly it doesn’t seem so important anymore.

The family returned again, taking a train to Nogales, Sonora, and crossing the border on foot, then catching another train to Los Angeles. It was on to San Francisco. Granizo, who called Benicia home, died there in 1995. His artwork fell into the hands of Bob Wagner and his brother, Ron Wagner, who teamed up for a book on their dad.

That’s the message of the singer’s new single, “Rumors,” which dropped Friday accompanied by a Greco-Roman fantasia of a music video starring Lizzo and her guest on the track, Cardi B. “Rumors” is Lizzo’s first single since 2019’s “Cuz I Love You” album. The LP made Lizzo the most-nominated artist at the 62nd Grammy Awards in 2020 with eight nods; she won three prizes, including best pop solo performance for “Truth Hurts.”

Wagner also spoke of Tony Andrews, who cared for Granizo the last years of his life. She owns the studios in Benicia and the house. “She made it so he had no time to do anything except paint,” Wagner said. Andrews’ daughter was in one of Wagner’s classes at Fairfield High School.
