Wildfire smoke tips Solano air quality into unhealthy range Glen Faison

FAIRFIELD — Smoke from various Northern California wildfires tipped the air quality scale into the unhealthy range Thursday with expectations for unhealthy air quality again Friday. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District issued an air quality warning – called a Spare the Air alert – Thursday and will keep it in place Friday as smoke

that had been drifting overhead for more than a week made its way to ground level across the region. It is illegal for Bay Area residents and businesses to use their fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, outdoor fire pits or any other wood-burning devices when air pollution warnings such as this are in force. “Multiple wildfires burning on the West Coast are expected to cause unhealthy air quality

throughout the region,” Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the Bay Area air district, said in a press release Thursday. “As respiratory health is top of mind for all of us during the pandemic, it’s crucial that residents take steps to avoid exposure to unhealthy air.” The fires sending smoke into the Bay Area include those in Washington, Oregon and Northern California, which have generated a

Parade coming this weekend. Look for the insert in the Daily Republic.

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield Fire Department normally holds its Employee Recognition and Badge Pinning Ceremony in February, not in the heart of August fire season. But with the backdrop of smoky skies outside, the department honored its own Thursday indoors at the Downtown Theatre. It was a look back to what was an extraordinary 2020 that featured

a global pandemic, civil unrest and a record-breaking California wildfire season that included the monstrous LNU Lightning Complex Fire. “We usually do it in February, but we’ve been a little busy,” Fire Chief Tony Velasquez said. “But we’re also busy right now, as you can see by looking outside. But it’s an exciting time. We are happy to see everyone here and to honor all the hard work that they have all put it.”

Bells ring again in Fairfield-Suisun schools Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — They came carrying backpacks, some almost as tall as the student, and lunch boxes. In addition to the special first day of school outfit, they donned masks as the Fairfield-Suisun School District kicked off its 2021-2022 school year. Parking spaces were a sought-after commodity at Suisun Elementary. Vehicles were parked on Pintail Drive for several blocks. Some parents secured spots on the residential streets, although it meant a little extra walking. Crossing guard Josephina Jiminez orchestrated her moves for more than 30 minutes to guide families across the four crosswalks. A common move was to pick up two people at one corner, cross that street, then pick up another four to guide them to the school. She doesn’t keep track of the number of steps she takes but said she would like to know. Many of the children and parents extended greetings to Jiminez. She returned the favor in both English and Spanish. A welcome back banner greeted children at the main gate. There were a few reminders of Covid-19, such as a sign encouraging air hugs. Cynthia Rios escorted her two children, Aurora Rios, a fourth-grader, and Isacc Rios, a kindergartner, down Golden Eye Way to the crosswalk. Their grandfather, Jose Rios, was wearing a smile as big as his two grandchildren. “I like it,” he said of being able to accompany them the first day. Isaac Rios was looking forward to playing at school. His older sister, eating lunch there. Pretty typical responses, Cynthia Rios said.

Diana Lozano was heading home after dropping off her third- and fourth-graders at the school. Lozano said as the school year begins, she’s decided to go with “the flow.” It’s been a see-saw since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020. “I’m hoping for the best,” she said. “My kids lost a lot of what they had learned. And, they have special needs.” The family put out their clothes Tuesday night for the next day and there was excitement in the air, she said. Hannah Baugh wasn’t sure what to expect on her first day at Suisun Elementary. She was beginning fourth grade and is new to the area. Her outlook was positive. Making friends and meeting her teacher was the day’s priority. Angela Coates had her daughter, Celeste Quinteros, and Quinteros’ daughter, Miley Kerr, 5, pose in front of the school sign for Miley’s first day in kindergarten. “It’s exciting being here,” Quinteros said. “I am a little nervous about the virus. She needs the socialization.” Miley, with a unicorn headband, was hoping to make friends and meet her teacher. She is Coates’ first grandchild to enter school. “It makes me feel a little old,” she said. “She also gives me youth.” Rodriguez High School Principal Clarence Isadore said the first day was fun. “I am so excited to see our kids on campus. They all look great and you can feel the great energy of happiness,” he shared in an email. There are more than 1,850 students enrolled, he wrote, noting he expected that number to increase. His message to the students: “We welcome you and we are

Go Mustangs!” The mood was upbeat at Crystal Middle School. “The students were really happy to see their friends and teachers. There were tons of smiles all day,” Principal Jay Dowd shared in an email. The staff was excited, too. “We’ve been missing our students. Teachers and staff are rejoicing to see them back on campus again,” Dowd wrote. Dowd shared a fun memory from one of his first days of school. “I remember the first day of class and looking up to see my mom in front of the class. There was no escaping it. She was my seventh-grade English teacher,” he wrote.

Safety reminders for school dropoff, and sharing road Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield Police Department offers some reminders with the 2021-2022 school year beginning. “School days bring congestion: School buses are picking up their passengers, kids on bikes are hurrying to get to school before the bell rings, harried parents are trying to drop their kids off before work,” police officials said in a press release from the department. “It’s never more important for drivers to slow down and pay attention than when kids are present – especially before and after school.”

Dropping off students Schools often have specific drop-off procedures. Make sure you know them for the safety of all children. The following applies to all school zones: n Don’t double park; it blocks visibility for other children and vehicles. n Don’t load or unload children across the street from the school. n Carpool to reduce the number of vehicles at the school.

Sharing the road with young pedestrians Research by the National Safety Council indicates most of the children who lose their lives in bus-related incidents are 4 to 7 years old, and they’re walking. They are hit by the bus, or by a motorist illegally passing a stopped bus. Police report that a few precautions go a long way toward keeping children safe:

n Don’t block the crosswalk when stopped at a red light or waiting to make a turn, forcing pedestrians to go around you; this could put them in the path of moving traffic. n When flashers are blinking in a school zone, stop and yield to pedestrians crossing the crosswalk or intersection. n Always stop for a school patrol officer or crossing guard holding up a stop sign. n Take extra care to look out for children in school zones, near playgrounds and parks, and in all residential areas. n Don’t honk or rev your engine to scare a pedestrian, even if you have the right of way. n Never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians. n Always use extreme caution to avoid striking pedestrians wherever they may be, no matter who has the right of way on the road.

Sharing the road with school buses If you’re driving behind a bus, allow a greater following distance than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing. It is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children. n Never pass a bus from behind – or from either direction if you’re on an undivided road – if it is stopped to load or unload children. n If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop. n The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back

to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus. n Be alert; children often are unpredictable, and they tend to ignore hazards and take risks.

Sharing the road with bicyclists On most roads, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as vehicles, but bikes can be hard to see. Children riding bikes create special problems for drivers because, usually, they are not able to properly determine traffic conditions. The most common cause of collisions involving bicyclists is a driver turning left in front of a bicyclist. n When passing a bicyclist, proceed in the same direction slowly, and leave 3 feet between your car and the cyclist. n When turning left and a bicyclist is approaching in the opposite direction, wait for the rider to pass. n If you’re turning right and a bicyclist is approaching from behind on the right, let the rider go through the intersection first, and always use your turn signals. n Watch for bike riders turning in front of you without looking or signaling; children especially have a tendency to do this. n Be extra vigilant in school zones and residential neighborhoods. n Watch for bikes coming from driveways or behind parked cars. n Check side mirrors before opening your door. By exercising a little extra care and caution, drivers and pedestrians can co-exist safely in school zones, the release said.

New Play 4 All Park in Vacaville could open Phase One in Spring Matt Miller

MMiller@DailyREpublic.Net

VACAVILLE — Playground equipment has been ordered and Tom Phillippi said his dream of Play 4 All Park, a park accessible to all Vacaville children, could see fruition by spring despite delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and escalating building costs. “We lost three fundraisers because of the pandemic,” Phillippi said, “but great things are happening. We have had phenomenal generosity from the community.” Phillippi and the Play 4 All committee is still reaching out to the community for donations. Some $1 million has already been raised and the budget calls for at least another $200,000 or more. Phase One calls for an adapted playground, with equipment that is expected to arrive in eight to 10 weeks. Phase Two features challenger-adapted ballfields with the costs, the committee hopes, coming by way of a state grant. Phase One calls for about a third of an acre of play area at 815 Elmira Road featuring rubberized flooring that is wheelchair accessible. There is a “We-Go-Round” and swings that are accessible to both able-bodied children and those in wheelchairs. There are zip lines to soar on, and things to touch and controls that can be manipulated. Picnic areas are also taking shape with covered areas. Phase Two calls for the adapted ball fields. Phillippi said those could come in late 2022 or into 2023. Those also will feature rubber/asphalt infields. They will have features like a replica of the “Green Monster” wall of Boston’s

Assemblyman Jim Frazier, D-Fairfield, has gotten on board and has helped the project. Frazier donated the first $2,500 to the project and has since given $5,000. Recology Vacaville Solano had a golf tournament in 2019 and raised $42,000. Organizations of all kinds have made donations. Dutch Bros in Vacaville and Fairfield will give $1 for every drink served Sept. 10 to the project. “It’s really hearwarming,” Phillippi said. “This dumb engineer comes up with an idea and people give a million dollars. We’re very excited and can’t wait to see it happen. I have 20 grandchildren and I expect they will all want to use it.” For more on Play 4 All Park, go to the website, www.play4allvacaville.org.

Fenway Park, and a replica brick walk like that in right field at Oracle Park in San Francisco. A dog park is also in the plans. Phillippi came up with the idea for Play 4 All Park when he visited his daughter and family in Round Rock, Texas. He said once the building project began in Round Rock, donations really took off to triple the size of what was first anticipated for the park. “People could see the value of the project, not just for kids with disabilities but for everyone,” Phillippi said. “My son came up to me with big tears in his eyes and I said, ‘Matt, what is going on?’ He said he saw the coolest thing ever, a kid helping a blind girl down a slide. I came back and said we have to do that in Vacaville.” Phillippi, president of Phillippi Engineering, first took up the idea with his fellow Rotarians and they began the mission. It has since grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Phillippi is now the presi-

the safety, security and rights of those impacted by crime,” Abrams said in a statement. Abrams joined the other district attorneys, as well as Crime Victims United and Citizens Against Homicide, at a press conference in Sacramento to announce the lawsuit. It was not immediately clear if any of the prisoners who were released early are from Solano County cases. Nor was it clear whether any of the early releases were brought to Solano County.

Covid hospital cases up; Vacaville to 10,000 Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The number of residents hospitalized due to Covid-19 jumped to 143 from Monday to Wednesday, and Vacaville became the third city to surpass 10,000 cases. more Additionally, than half of those in the intensive care units – 36 – are Covid patients, Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview. “The big news is the announcement from the president that we’re starting boosting (vaccinations),” Matyas said. He said the county is gearing up to offer those booster shots to medical and other emergency personnel – those vaccinated

in the earliest rounds late in 2020 and into 2021 – in the very near future. The county also is planning for mass vaccination clinics, again, to deal with the various age groups as the rotation begins. The Solano County Public Health Division reported 14 additional hospitalizations since Monday’s report of 129. Of the 380 new cases reported, taking the pandemic total to 38,294, Matyas said close to twothirds of those actually date back to last weekend or earlier. He called the late reporting from the state troubling because the county is not sure if the surge has plateaued as Public Health thought it had. The 10-day average is

more than 90 cases per day, he said. The number of deaths attributed at least in part to the disease remained unchanged at 259. Vacaville added 102 new cases to its count, taking the pandemic total to 10,002, joining Vallejo (11,296) and Fairfield (10,394) as Solano cities with more than 10,000 coronavirus cases, the county reported. Fairfield had 103 new cases and Vallejo added 119 to its tally, the county reported. Suisun City (2,694) added 21 cases over Monday’s total; Dixon (2,134) added 20 cases; Benicia (1,187) added 10; Rio Vista (468) added four; and the unincorporated area of the county sits at 126 cases after one new report, the county said.

The percentage of residents 12 or older who have at least one vaccine shot increased to 72%, while the percentage of those fully vaccinated held at 60%, the county reported. The active cases climbed from 838 Monday to 946 Wednesday. The seven-day positivity testing rate was up from 18.6% to 20.3%, the county reported. Solano County is approaching hospitalization numbers last seen during the height of the winter surge. The number of people hospitalized with Covid-19 topped out during that surge at 176 on Jan. 7. The county does not post case updates on Thursdays. The next update is scheduled late Friday afternoon.

Council begins boundary redraw Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Just as the Fairfield council is launching its redistricting efforts, a member of a local taxpayers group asked to reconsider abandoning the districts. “My thought is to rethink this whole thing: one man, one vote,” John Takeuchi told the council Tuesday. He contends that breaking the city up into six districts, each represented by its own council member, leaves the city more open to election fraud. Takeuchi, in an interview after his comments, said he was not suggesting any election had been “stolen,” only that he thinks the citywide representation was a better system. “All I’m asking is you think about this,” said Takeuchi, who is a member of the Central Solano Citizen/Taxpayer Group. The City Council,

facing legal action that could run into the millions, went to the district format just prior to the November 2020 election. Those boundaries were based on 2010 census data. It increased the council membership to seven, with six members elected from specific districts, while the mayor’s position remains a citywide choice. Now, with the new census numbers, the city must redraw the boundaries of those districts. “Each district must be substantially equal . . . and they must comply (with) the American Voters Act,” Doug Yoakam, a demographer with National Demographics Corp., told the council. The city is paying the firm $45,000 to guide the redistricting effort. Yoakam and Robert McEntire then spent the next 15 minutes or so explaining how natural and major boundaries,

such as a large thoroughfare, should be used to define those districts. They noted that neighborhoods and “communities of interest,” meaning populations with similar interests, should be kept intact when possible, but that at no time can the districts be massaged to benefit a specific political party. “You can choose to look at future growth in your districts,” Yoakam said, meaning if growth is expected to occur in a specific part of the city over the next 10 years, the existing population can be divided among the other districts to account for that growth. The city will have a website and various tools for the public to add its thoughts on what the districts should look like. Those tools fall into more technical to simpler options. The first community meeting on redistricting is set Oct. 7. The location has not been announced.

The final districts are expected to be approved in January. The deadline, however, is April 2022. “District boundary maps will be drawn by a professional demographer in consultation with the city attorney and city manager’s office based on the criteria prescribed by the law and public input,” a staff report to the council states. “Community input is important to the districting process and all residents are encouraged to attend hearings to provide public input,” the report adds. “Before adopting a final boundary map, the city must hold at least four public hearings at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the compositionof voting districts.” Key redistricting dates n Sept. 21: City Council meeting, 6 p.m. Provide information and solicit public input on communities of interest.

Father of Vanden High student shot, killed asks Fairfield to help honor his son Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The father of a Vanden High student-athlete who was shot and killed in April asked the Fairfield council this week for help in honoring Daniel Hughes’ memory. “I want to honor his legacy and dreams, and he did have big dreams,” Dejon Hughes said about his son. Daniel Hughes was shot on Easter Sunday

“I want to honor his legacy and dreams, and he did have big dreams. — Dejon Hughes, father of Daniel Hughes

and died 14 days later on April 18. He was 17 years old. His father described

his son, who was a junior at Vanden High at the time of his death, as someone who was involved in the community. He told the council Tuesday his son played basketball at Allan Witt Community Park, was an accomplished basketball and football player at Vanden High and had been offered an athletic scholarship at Northern Arizona University. Hughes said he had some ideas of what

might be done, mentioning a mural or statue, but wanted to work with the city. “I have a lump in my throat,” Councilwoman Pam Bertani said. “I have a son, too.” Bertani said Fairfield is known for listening, and promised the city would work with his vision. The matter was handed over to Dawn La Bar, the city’s special projects manager, to move forward. The Hughes family moved to the area in 2014.

FAIRFIELD — A woman claims she was knocked unconscious and then arrested by a pair of Solano County sheriff’s deputies, who, according to a civil rights action against the county and the Sheriff’s Office, lied about the incident. “On Aug. 6, 2020, (Solano County sheriff’s deputies) Dalton McCampbell and Lisa McDowell . . . arrested and assaulted Ms. Nakia Victoria Porter, as well as then brutally beat her out of consciousness, without cause outside her vehicle in front of her father, Mr. Joe Berry Powell Jr., and three children – her two daughters (ages 3 and 4) and her niece (age 6),” the lawsuit filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in Sacramento states. “After tossing Ms. Porter in the back of their sheriff’s vehicle, unconscious, the same defendants proceeded to handcuff and falsely imprison Mr. Powell in the back of another sheriff’s vehicle, leaving the three children alone and scared inside the vehicle at night for about an hour while numerous sheriff’s deputies illegally searched the vehicle finding no evidence of any crime whatsoever,” the suit states. Porter is Black. Solano County County Counsel Bernadette Curry said Wednesday morning she had not seen the lawsuit and had no comment at this time. She did say the county had denied the claim filed with the county, a required step before a lawsuit could proceed. The incident reportedly took place on a rural roadside near Dixon. Porter, 33, told her story during a press conference Wednesday in Sacramento. The suit, brought by attorney Yasin Almadani, accuses the deputies of violating Porter’s state and federal civil rights through “unlawful seizure, assault and excessive force.” Almadani called the incident a “racially motivated beating and terrorizing of a Black family.” Porter, her father and the three children were coming back from Oakland to the Sac-

ramento area town of Orangevale when she said they pulled off the road to change drivers. “Ms. Porter – a small woman, 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 125 pounds – exited her vehicle and proceeded to walk around to the back of the vehicle to the passenger’s side, where Mr. Powell had also opened his door and started to exit the vehicle to switch seats. The three children remained in the backseat of the car,” the lawsuit states. The document states she was not aware of the sheriff’s patrol car had also stopped, despite flashing lights. She told the deputy she was tired and letting her father drive. The lawsuit states that the deputy ordered her to return to the car, which Porter believed to mean it was OK to switch drivers. “However, at this point, a male deputy (Deputy McCampbell) appeared and pointed his gun at Ms. Porter and her car, saying, ‘Get back in the car now. This is a traffic stop. Get back in the car.’ Ms. Porter, extremely confused because she had not been stopped for a traffic violation, responded, ‘Huh?’ Ms. Porter then calmly explained to Deputy McCampbell, as she had done so to Deputy McDowell, that she was switching seats with her father and that there were children in the car. Still confused by the deputies’ commands, Ms. Porter explicitly asked if the deputies wanted her to go back to the driver’s seat. Deputy McCampbell responded, ‘Yes, get back in the car.’ Ms. Porter then immediately began to walk back to the driver’s side, and Mr. Powell went inside to the passenger’s seat, in full compliance with the deputies’ commands,” the suit states. “There was absolutely no cause for defendants McCampbell and McDowell to put their hands on, arrest or handcuff Ms. Porter or take her into custody. In fact, the Constitution and California Penal Code . . . explicitly prohibited them from doing so,” the suit states. “Nevertheless, as Ms. Porter was walking back to the driver seat, Deputy McCampbell (the See Suit, Page A9

Processing continues for emergency rental assistance program Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The local application period for Solano County residents to apply for County Emergency Rental Assistance Program funding under the federal CARES Act has closed. County officials and and representatives of Catholic Charities of Yolo-Solano continue to work through processing existing applications. Those still in need are encouraged to apply through the state. The state has reserved an additional $14.3 million for Solano County residents who are eligible and have not yet applied for emergency rental assistance through the Housing is Key website, housing. ca.gov, or by phone at (833) 430-2122. Catholic Charities of Yolo and Solano, the contracted administrator

for the county’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program, has received more than 3,000 applications from renters and landlords as of July 31, the date the county’s program officially closed to accept new applications. Due to the high volume of applications and phone calls – more than originally anticipated, according to a press release from the county – the processing and payment of applications has been time-consuming. The county has hired additional staff to assist in the process, and as a result, applications are being processed by both Catholic Charities and Solano County staff to expedite the approval and distribution process for eligible individuals in need of rental assistance.

Chadwick Boseman returns as T’Challa in Marvel’s ‘What If...?’ Tribune Content Agency The latest episode of Marvel’s “What If...?” is dedicated to “our friend, our inspiration and our hero” Chadwick Boseman, who reprised his role as T’Challa for the animated series Released Wednesday, the second installment of the speculative saga – which imagines alternate story lines for various MCU players – ponders the question, “What if T’Challa Became a StarLord” instead of Peter Quill (portrayed on the big screen by Chris Pratt)? That’s right: In this imaginary timeline, T’Challa makes his mark on the universe not as Black Panther, king of Wakanda, but as a widely beloved and renowned guardian of the galaxy. And Boseman isn’t

the only Marvel star who lent his voice to a cartoon version of his character for the new Disney+ program. In Episode 2, Boseman’s T’Challa – aka StarLord – is joined by Karen Gillan’s Nebula, Djimon Hounsou’s Korath, John Kani’s T’Chaka, Josh Brolin’s Thanos and Michael Rooker’s Yondu, who kidnaps a young T’Challa from Wakanda and raises him to become the famed space scavenger. Unlike the mischievous Peter Quill, however, T’Challa brings his signature selflessness, innate goodness and advanced wisdom to Star-Lord – an honorable title by which he is universally recognized. Boseman’s next “What If...?” cameo premieres Sept. 8 on Disney+.

Protests spread in Afghanistan Taliban boasts of beating ‘arrogant’ US Tribune Content Agency KABUL, Afghanistan — Anti-Taliban protesters defied their new rulers for the second day Thursday, marking Afghan Independence Day by attempting to hoist the red, green and black national banner but often getting beaten down by militant fighters who continue to control the streets of the capital and elsewhere. The jarring, violent scenes marked the latest unrest as the Taliban sought to gain a firmer grip on a nation that has changed much since it first ruled two decades ago. That was proving increasingly difficult, even as the militant group sought to compare Afghanistan’s independence from Britain in 1919 to the insurgents’ swift takeover of the country today from an American-backed government. The Taliban said in a statement that its “jihadi resistance forced another arrogant power of the world, the United States, to fail and retreat from our holy territory of Afghanistan.” But anger against the group was rising, and governing was proving perilous. A gridlock crush at the international airport in Kabul, meanwhile, surged again, with desperate Afghans and others attempting to escape the country. In Washington, the Pentagon said that since July it had flown 12,000 people out of the airport, including U.S. diplomats, Afghans eligible for special visas because of their work on behalf of the U.S. military and diplomatic missions, and others. Only about 2,000 were airlifted out of Kabul in a dozen military flights in the last 24 hours, State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a Thursday briefing. Another 6,000 evacuees were processed and awaiting departure at the Kabul airport Thursday evening. Still, the numbers fell far short of the up to 9,000 people a day that the Pentagon says it has the capacity to evacuate. The shortfall highlights both the slow bureaucratic process to finish paperwork for Afghans needing to leave and the terrifying difficulty many Americans and others are confronting as they attempt to make their way

He said all U.S. citizens who have “expressed interest in leaving” Afghanistan were contacted by U.S. diplomatic officials overnight and told to proceed to the airport – even though the U.S. government has said it cannot guarantee safe passage. Price would not give a number of how many people were involved. The administration says it reached a “safe passage” agreement with the Taliban, but it seems to work only spottily. “The U.S. military is undertaking a gargantuan airlift operation right now,” Price said. But he acknowledged, as Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III said this week, that the estimated 5,000 U.S. forces at the Kabul airport do not have the equipment or troop numbers to venture outside of the airport and into the city to retrieve Americans or Afghans eligible to leave. There are reports that British special forces have launched such rescue missions. Though it has yet to formally appoint its government, the Taliban is about to confront many of the difficulties of actually governing, with shortages of cash and supplies. Other countries and world institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund, have warned they would with-

hold the much-needed foreign aid that has sustain much of Afghanistan’s economy for years. Taliban has The offered contradicting portrayals of its intentions, claiming to be more moderate than it was during its brutal rule in the 1990s, but also saying it will abide by Shariah law. The Taliban interpretation of Shariah is among the most draconian in the world. A U.N. official also warned of dire food shortages in this nation of 38 million people reliant on imports. “A humanitarian crisis of incredible proportions is unfolding before our eyes,” Mary Ellen McGroarty, the head of the World Food Program in Afghanistan, warned in a statement. Drought, she said, has destroyed more than 40% of the country’s crops lost. And many people fleeing the Taliban are living in open spaces in the capital. “This is really Afghanistan’s hour of greatest need, and we urge the international community to stand by the Afghan people at this time,” she said. With such pressures, the Taliban leadership also appeared keen to quell dissent. Many fear the Taliban will succeed in erasing two decades of efforts to expand women’s and human rights in Afghanistan and build democratic institutions. Pockets of resistance were emerging across the country, and in Kabul this was most evident in the independence day flagraising ceremonies. At one traffic circle in central Kabul, a group of Afghans was raising the traditional Afghan

flag to replace the white Taliban banner. A group of Taliban fighters approached and pointed their guns at the group. Los Angeles Times photographer Marcus Yam was attempting to photograph the scene when a Taliban fighter emerged out of nowhere and punched him on the side of the head. The fighter continued to beat Yam and another photographer working for a major U.S. newspaper and then to demand they erase the images they had shot. Yam said at one point he was on his knees urging the armed fighter not to hurt him. After the beatings stopped, Yam and the other photographer were held for some 20 minutes until an English-speaking militant came along and asked the men who they worked for. This militant then attempted to defuse the situation, aware that attacking Western media was not in keeping with the image that the Taliban leadership is trying to project. He offered the photographers an energy drink and released them. In Khost province, Taliban authorities instituted a 24-hour curfew Thursday after violently breaking up another protest, according to information obtained by journalists monitoring from abroad and reported by The Associated Press. The militants did not immediately acknowledge the demonstration or the curfew. Protesters also took to the streets in Kunar province, according to witnesses and social media videos that lined up with reporting by The Associated Press.

unhealthy air quality Thursday, and expect levels of smoke to remain unhealthy Friday. 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, 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.

SUISUN CITY — The Suisun City Wildlife Center is receiving wave of a second baby squirrels. The staff and volunteers remind those who find a baby squirrel to call them first at 429-4295. “We may be able to help you reunite the baby with mom, which is always the best result for them,” center officials posted on social media. They also say not to feed the babies, which can result in the center’s delay to give them the proper food or medication on intake. The center uses formulas created

As Mr. Powell closed his car door to comply with the command, he explained once again that they were simply switching drivers. The deputies did not care and Deputy McDowell arm-locked Ms. Porter and began to handcuff her to take her into custody without having probable cause that Ms. Porter had committed any crime.” There appears to be an issue about mismatched plates – one from California and one from Maryland, a published report states – as the stated reason for the arrest, but the lawsuit states that Porter, who had moved from Maryland, was the car owner and had simply forgotten to remove the front plate. “Outside the view of the dashboard camera,

McCampbell and McDowell – both of whom are much larger than Ms. Porter – brutally beat Ms. Porter. They repeatedly punched, kicked, kneed and struck her in the back of the neck, head, face and stomach, as she struggled and prayed for her life in desperation, pleading, ‘God, bless me! Bless me, God!,’ ” the suit states. The lawsuit goes on to state, “After beating her and knocking her to the ground . . . McCampbell (the male deputy) forced Ms. Porter onto her stomach and mounted her while . . . McDowell, who is a large female deputy, grabbed Ms. Porter by the hair and shoved her face into the concrete.” The complaint further states that Porter lost consciousness for more than 5 minutes. The suit also asserts that the deputy can be heard telling paramedics when they arrived that Porter had fought with the deputy. Porter reportedly asked to be taken to a hospital by the paramedics, but instead was transported by the deputies. The lawsuit said she

was rushed through a medical exam and taken to jail on suspicion of obstruction and resisting arrest. She was released the next morning on a $25,000 bond. The lawsuit claims she was not allowed to make a call, and had her cash seized. She called family using a stranger’s phone. The suit also asserts that the deputies lied to hospital staff and lied about details of the incident in their written reports. The lawsuit comes as the Sheriff’s Office faces ongoing criticism that it has deputies who are aligned with the “3 Percenters,” a group the FBI has classified as antigovernment extremists, members of which took part in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The Board of Supervisors has been pressured to appoint a civilian oversight commission to look into the Sheriff’s Office’s handling of the situation. The board has been unwilling to even discuss the possibility. Sheriff Tom Ferrara has declined to be interviewed.

President Joe Biden said the Taliban are in the midst of an “existential crisis” about their role on the international stage but that he didn’t believe the group had fundamentally changed its course. “Let me put it this way: I think they’re going through sort of an existential crisis about do

they want to be recognized by the international community as being a legitimate government,” Biden told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News in an interview that aired Thursday morning. “I’m not sure they do.” Biden said he may not have predicted that the Taliban would allow American citizens to evacuate the country safely,

citing that as an example of how unpredictable the group could be. In earlier excerpts from the interview that aired Wednesday, Biden said U.S. troops would remain in Afghanistan until all Americans are able to leave the country – even if it takes longer than his Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw. Biden this week has

been defending his highstakes bet that U.S. voters want to end American’s 20-year war in Afghanistan and will forgive him for the searing images of desperate Afghans looking to flee. Biden said that American intelligence assessments didn’t foresee such a rapid advance by the Taliban and collapse of the Afghan

military, prompting the U.S. to race to evacuate its citizens and Afghans who aided U.S. troops. Many Americans were shocked by the drama that unfolded this week in Kabul, where desperate Afghans tried to cling to the side of a U.S. military plane as it taxied down a runway, with some plunging to their deaths as it took flight minutes later.

Shanahan offers critique of Lance vs. Chargers Tribune Content Agency COSTA MESA, Orange County — No punches were thrown, literally or figuratively. The 49ers and Chargers engaged in a peaceful, no-fisticuffs joint practice Thursday morning in which rookie quarterback Trey Lance didn’t land a haymaker in his quest to unseat starter Jimmy Garoppolo before the opener at Detroit on Sept. 12. Given the more com-

petitive environment, along with challenges presented by facing a new defense, this week’s two joint practices in Orange County are a chance for Lance, 21, to show he’s regular-season ready. Lance’s first practice? It was . . . fine. He completed 10 of 16 passes in team drills – two of his incompletions were spikes – and threw red-zone touchdowns to wide receiver Jauan Jennings and tight end Ross Dwelley. Lance’s

completion total included five checkdowns and he was dropped for four would-be sacks in the nontackling session. Asked for his assessment of Lance’s performance, head coach Kyle Shanahan only offered a critique. He mentioned the rookie’s subpar response to the heavy pressure he was under from the Chargers’ second-string defensive line. “I challenge the offensive line big time, but I’m

also going to challenge him to get rid of the ball,” Shanahan said. “You’ve got to know where those outlets are and how to get rid of it. He didn’t have the most time (to throw), but it’s kind of our standard with things and how fast you’ve got to play. Not just athletically, but with your mind. You can’t hesitate. You’ve got to get rid of it.” Thursday’s practice came five days after Lance’s NFL debut, in which he showcased his

tantalizing ability – delivering a highlight-reel, 80-yard touchdown pass – but also regressed with his throwing mechanics. Lance completed 5 of 14 passes, two of which were nearly intercepted. On Aug. 2, when Lance was in the midst of a torrid stretch to start training camp, Shanahan said he would “very surprised” if Lance could take over by Week 1 because he was still trying to “learn everything right now and soak it all

Fireworks light up the sky before Rio Vista plays Woodland Christian in a SJS Division VII football semifinal game

at Rio Vista High School, Nov. 17, 2017. The Rams, who didn’t play in the spring, have three returning starters.

Rams ready to return to play after 20-month break PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

RIO VISTA — The 2019 season didn’t end the way the defending Sierra Delta League champion Rio Vista High football team wanted it to, four losses in their final five games, all in SDL play. The capper was the Rams first loss to Solano County rival Vacaville Christian in the final, 26-24, a loss that kept them out of the SacJoaquin Section playoffs for the first time since 2010, their first year in the SJS. Rio Vista, buoyed by a strong senior class, looked forward to bouncing back in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic had other ideas, however. With the SJS attempting to fit the sports into March, April and May, the decision was made to forgo football in the SDL in favor of

basketball, soccer and baseball. “It was very difficult,” said Chris Medders, who is 39-17 in five seasons as Rams coach. “First, we had a large group of seniors that didn’t get to play their senior season, and some of them worked hard preparing for that one season. We spend a lot of time with some of these young men, year-round, so it was tough watching them have to deal with that disappointment. “It was also very difficult because we kept practicing, mainly conditioning, through the winter time in hopes of being able to play. So, it was a very-long and grinding season, especially dealing with the emotional aspects of ‘are we going to play or not’ all the time.” Mostly through graduation, the Rams have just three players who See Rams, Page B10

uring a 7-5 win over the New York Mets on Monday, slugger Kris Bryant showed fans at Oracle Park exactly why the Giants’ front office made him their top trade deadline target. The right-handed power hitter launched a go-ahead home run in the fifth inning, crushed another in the seventh inning and moved from right field to left field when the Giants brought in LaMonte Wade Jr. as a pinch-hitter and defensive replacement. “He’s a really good right-handed power bat,” shortstop Brandon Crawford said Monday. “He’s a former MVP winner, so he’s obviously a big piece of our team now and I think he showed that tonight by being able to hit a couple of homers, play left field, play right field. With his versatility, his athleticism and hitting ability, he’s a big piece

Athletics visited by injured Chris Bassitt, who is in ‘good spirits’ CHICAGO — The A’s received a welcome visitor Thursday morning: injured pitcher Chris Bassitt, who spent some time with the team before its series finale against the White Sox. “He just came in and said, ‘Hi,’ and made sure that we were all good,” said Cole Irvin, who started the A’s 5-4 win. “And I think that helped today; I really think it did. Just being able to see him and know that he’s in good spirits really just got all of us going.” Irvin said it was the first time the A’s had seen Bassitt since Tuesday

night, when the righthander was struck in the face by a line drive and carted off the field in Chicago. Bassitt was diagnosed with a facial fracture that will require surgery, and had lacerations that required stitches. He stayed in the Chicago area, where he likely will have surgery next week. The A’s returned home after Thursday’s game. “It was just good to see him; we hadn’t seen him since what happened and it was just important,” Irvin said. “That just helped a lot with motivation and stuff, just to know he’s all right and has the fight in him to

want to be back already.” Irvin said Bassitt looked “like a guy would look when he gets hit in the face with a baseball” but cracked jokes and was in “very high spirits.” Manager Bob Melvin said before Thursday’s game he had talked to Bassitt “and he feels remarkably well for what went down the other day. I’m encouraged on a day-to-day basis how he’s feeling.” Bassitt sustained a displaced tripod fracture in his right cheek but tests showed his right eye is “normal for vision” and “a head CT scan revealed no further injury,” the A’s said. “It was definitely good

to see him and see him in good spirits, all things considered,” first baseman Matt Olson said. “So obviously glad nothing too, too crazy is wrong.”

On Pinder: Melvin said utilityman Chad Pinder was scheduled to play Thursday for Triple-A Las Vegas on his rehab assignment “and if all goes well, we will see him in Oakland” for Friday’s game against the Giants. Pinder, who landed on the IL on July 8 with a hamstring strain, was 4-for12 with a home run in his first three Triple-A rehab games. Honors for Moore, Gomez: The A’s announced they will honor longtime broadcaster Monte Moore and late sportswriter Pedro Gomez before Friday’s game in Oakland. Moore will receive the first Monte Moore Award, which the

ANALYSIS for our team.” Bryant was out of the lineup Tuesday due to hamstring tightness, but in his next start for the Giants on Wednesday, he played third base. Since debuting with the club on August 1, he’s also made a start in center field and played both the infield and outfield in five of his 15 games with the Giants. Bryant isn’t a Gold Glove defender at any individual position, but he’s an above-average athlete and boasts a strong arm to go with an adequate glove. The 29-year-old with an MVP award in his back pocket could have settled into a specific position early in his career, but he’s prioritized defensive versatility in an effort to make himself a more valuable player and give his teams, the Cubs and now the Giants, better See Bryant, Page B10

in.” At the time, it smacked of a coach trying to delay a QB controversy. Nearly three weeks later, however, Lance is showing signs that he’s not immune to growing pains. Shanahan said Thursday that Lance’s messy mechanics in the preseason opener were typical for a young QB. “They get in there and they resort back to survive with what they’ve done their whole career,” Shanahan said. “And

CHICAGO — All series, the A’s had sought the timely hit. They totaled two in 20 at-bats with a runner in scoring position while losing three games to the White Sox. They were hitless in their first four such chances in Thursday’s finale. Another threatened to slip away in the seventh inning. Shortstop Elvis Andrus led off the inning with a single in a tied game and stole second with one out. Michael Kopech fired a 98 mph fastball that center fielder Starling Marte rolled into a groundout. Kopech, one of a wealth of hard throwers in the Chicago bullpen, had silenced the A’s for two innings Monday. He drew Matt Olson next. Olson attacked a firstpitch slider. He came

up empty. Kopech tried another. This one spun higher over the plate. Olson hammered it. The ball left his bat at 109.1 mph and landed 391 feet away in the rightfield seats, the difference in a 5-4 A’s win that prevented a four-game sweep at Guaranteed Rate Field. “That’s what he does; he gets big hits at big times, and probably at this point in time with this series, that was a huge hit for us,” manager Bob Melvin said. “It allows us to go home with at least one win here, which we needed.” For the A’s, who lost starter Chris Bassitt for an unknown stretch after he was struck in the head by a liner Tuesday, the finale was not without concern. With two outs in the ninth, Jose Abreu lofted See A’s, Page B2

A’s: Lost 5 of 7 to end trip From Page 0 a flyball to shallow center. Marte and Andrus collided as they pursued the baseball, with Andrus going to the ground as the ball rolled away. Marte’s left arm appeared to hook Andrus’ neck as they passed. A trainer and Melvin emerged to check on Andrus, who stayed in the game. A run scored on the play and Abreu took second as the possible tying run. Eloy Jimenez hit a 112 mph liner against Lou Trivino right at Marte for the final out. Melvin said Andrus “got hit in the throat” and “I hope he’s OK.” Said Olson: “Another thing you don’t really want to see too much. . . . Sounds like both of them are all right, so we avoided one there.” The A’s lost five of seven to end a 10-game trip yet avoided a disastrous drop in the AL West standings. They return home 2 1/2 games behind first-place Houston, a

deficit a half-game larger than when they left. “Honestly, we played pretty bad this series,” Olson said. “So it was good to get a win, but not what we wanted to come in and do at all.” Cole Irvin gave the A’s six innings despite traffic. The left-hander allowed seven hits and four walks after issuing no more than two in any of his first 23 starts. Jimenez lined an RBI double in the first and Irvin walked Andrew Vaughn on four pitches to load the bases with one out. Irvin escaped by striking out Yoan Moncada and inducing a flyout by Brian Goodwin. “First innings throughout my career have always been my bugaboo,” Irvin said. “But I think just getting through that inning, whether it was one or two (runs), was going to be good enough.” Irvin threw 87 pitches total and induced just two swing-and-misses. The White Sox put 23 of his pitches in play at

an average 93 mph exit velocity. He navigated that for a quality start. Irvin escaped a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the fourth. In the fifth, he walked Jimenez with two outs and missed with an 0-2 curveball to Vaughn, who drove a two-run homer to left. Irvin returned for a scoreless sixth. “Today was the best I’ve felt since the AllStar break in terms of rhythm, timing,” Irvin sad. “I feel like I was in a little bit of a dead-arm phase shortly after the All-Star break, so I was trying to work through that a little. But I felt really, really good today.” The A’s managed four hits in six innings against Chicago starter Dylan Cease. Two were solo home runs from Sean Murphy and Matt Chapman. Cease also issued a bases-loaded walk in the fourth. Chapman totaled five homers on the trip and reached base in all 10 games, going 12-for-30 with 10 walks.

Critique From Page 0 sometimes that’s a little different at the NFL level. You can’t just go out there and play. You’ve got to be exact in your details. Exact in your techniques. And the more you can do (that), that more you make it automatic, then you don’t lose it in the heat of battle.” On Thursday, the battle between the 49ers and Chargers remained civil. The play that best illustrated the atmosphere came when Chargers’ Pro Bowl pass rusher Joey Bosa smacked the ball out of Garoppolo’s hands, which is a no-no in such sessions in which QBs aren’t to be touched. Garoppolo was annoyed with the older brother of 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa – for a moment. “He said ‘sorry’ as he passed me,” Garoppolo said. “He sounds just like Nick. It was kind of funny. You’re upset and then he says ‘Sorry, Jim’ at the same the same time. It’s just a Bosa thing, I guess.”

shoot straight. If you were watching the news from Kabul earlier in the week, you saw that chaos truly erupted in the streets. The Taliban control every vital resource in the country, and their reign of terror against women and girls has begun. One report said that two women who were not attired with sufficient modesty were shot right on the spot. Of course, girls will no longer be welcome in schools, and jobs held by many women were promptly eliminated. In fact, as former press aide Ari Fleischer pointed out, Biden was visibly annoyed when George Stephanopoulos asked him how he could have let things get so badly out of control. Biden was in a petulant mood when asked how his forecasts could have been so useless. In fact, Biden based some of his forecasting on the promises of the Taliban made, and, just as bad, he believed the so-called progress reports from “our” Afghans. What you will see is a president in the coming months who is easily aggravated and more and more evasive when he doesn’t like the questions he’s getting.

The Tax Watchers

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

undreds of politicians over the past four decades have come and gone from the Capitol and its political ambience has undergone a dramatic transformation. Allan Zaremberg has not only seen it all, but has hugely influenced what did or didn’t happen. Zaremberg announced this week that he will soon retire after more than two decades as CEO of the California Chamber of Commerce and previous stints as a chamber lobbyist and highranking aide to two Republican governors, George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson. Donna Lucas, a public relations executive who chairs the chamber’s board and herself has been a prominent Capitol figure during those decades, wasn’t blowing smoke when she Dan Walters said, “CalChamber and Allan Zaremberg have been one and the same for more than two decades. His effectiveness in representing California’s business community is legendary and he created models for success that are now common practice.” When Zaremberg, then a young attorney in the Department of Justice, followed his boss, Deukmejian, into the governor’s office in 1983, California and its Capitol were bastions of probusiness conservatism. However, by the time he assumed leadership of the chamber in 1998, California was turning blue and the Legislature was drifting leftward. Zaremberg’s job was to maintain relevance for business in a Capitol increasingly dominated by liberal Democrats and allied interests such as labor unions, environmental and consumer advocacy groups, and personal injury lawyers. He succeeded brilliantly, as even his foes would acknowledge. The circumstances dictated that Zaremberg and his staff would be mostly playing defense, staving off efforts by rival interests to impose new regulations and new taxes on business, or increasing opportunities for litigation. A major tool was the chamber’s “job killer” list, an annual compilation of legislation deemed to be onerous, initiated by Zaremberg’s predecessor, Kirk West, in 1997. Over the ensuing two-plus decades, hundreds of bills have received the “job killer” epithet and roughly 90% have either died in the Legislature, mostly without votes, been amended enough to escape the list, or been vetoed by governors. Zaremberg picked the chamber’s fights carefully, which is one reason why it has been so successful. Except on matters of taxation, for example, the chamber rarely quarreled with the Capitol’s dominant public employees unions, whose priorities of higher salaries and benefits did not affect business. The chamber, however, spars constantly with private sector unions, which have less political clout than their public sector cousins. Outside of the Capitol, Zaremberg and the chamber have also played major roles in creating coalitions to both advocate and oppose major ballot measures – a process that also emerged as a powerful policy tool during the past four decades. They were, for example, instrumental in passing a ballot measure that changed how California nominates candidates for political offices to a “top-two” system over opposition from both major parties. The two top primary election finishers, regardless of party, face each in the November general election every two years and business saw it as leading to fewer ideologues and more moderates winning legislative seats. While the precise impact of the top-two system is still debated, it clearly has helped make the “job killer” campaign a success as legislative leaders count noses and decide which bills fly and which die. The Capitol is continuing to slide leftward, so Zaremberg’s successor will have no shortage of battles as longtime foes propose new measures that employers will see as excessive and expensive – especially since Gov. Gavin Newsom, a former businessman himself, is evidently more inclined than his predecessors to sign such measures.

tax dollars? Newsom claims that California’s economy is “roaring back.” The question is, why was it crushed in the first place? The answer is the draconian measures imposed by the state – the lockdowns and the on-again, off-again mask rulings. If such steps were necessary to fight Covid-19, why were big-box stores allowed to operate with some constraints, yet smaller businesses that could have met the same requirements were denied? Why were churches told to shut down? Government and an unprincipled governor destroyed businesses and put people out of work. We have to ask ourselves, do we want more of the same? Or do we want a governor who believes in individual freedom and responsibility – and limits on government – the things that made this state and this nation great? This election is our chance to turn things around. California is one of the few states that give citizens a choice. Think about our state’s and our children’s futures. Think.

Alex Newell, son of David Newell who played Mr. McFeely on “Mister Roger’s Neighborhood,” on his postal route, Aug. 13. Alex Newell will appear in an upcoming episode of “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.”

Mr. McFeely’s son to deliver in Daniel Tiger’s neighborhood Tribune Content Agency PITTSBURGH — Alex Newell has been a part of Fred Rogers’ neighborhood since he was 2 days old. The 39-year-old Springdale resident is the son of David Newell, who played Mr. McFeely on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” David Newell said Rogers was the first person who came to visit him at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital after each of his three children were born, including Alex. Growing up, Alex would encounter Mister Rogers almost daily, sometimes in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe or out to dinner with the Newell and Rogers families. “When you’re living around it, you don’t realize how special and kind of cool it is,” Alex told the Post-Gazette. “It was a lot of days being on set and in the offices and going to appearances with my dad and meeting a lot of interesting and famous people.” Alex wound up following in his father’s footsteps professionally . . . sort of. He’s a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service. Yes, Mr. McFeely’s son is a real-life deliveryman who specializes in speedy deliveries on his Squirrel Hill route. And now, he’s directly entering his father’s old stomping grounds in the form of a cameo on “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood,” a PBS Kids children’s show starring one of Mister Rogers’ most beloved puppet creations. Alex will briefly appear in Wednesday’s episode as – what else – a mail carrier ensuring a little girl’s care package for a friend makes it to her with no hiccups. “In a way, Alex grew up in Mister Rogers’ neighborhood, in reality and in pretend,” said his dad. “He watched the program as he was growing up, and now he’s making a delivery on [‘Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood’]. And that makes me so proud.” He said Alex had always been the most interested in acting of all his children. Alex relocated from Pittsburgh to

Daily Cryptoquotes

Denver and eventually Los Angeles, where he worked on some independent films and reality shows such as “Crash Course.” Money started getting tight after three years in California, so he moved back to Pittsburgh in an effort to “settle himself and regroup.” He dabbled in acting around here too, including appearing in an Armstrong cable commercial. His priorities were shuffled after meeting his fiancee and gaining both a stepson and now 1-year-old Ashton, their child together. He began looking into civil service jobs and narrowed it down to the Postal Service, UPS and FedEx before eventually going with the Postal Service. He was well aware of the irony of becoming a mail carrier given who his dad played for so many years on television. What was his father’s reaction to learning what his son would be doing for a living going forward? “You’re kidding!” David Newell said. “How ironic he would be a delivery slash postman, and I’ve been pretending to be one for over 40 years!” are constantly People amused by Alex’s chosen profession and like to remind him, “You were born for this.” He enjoys the work, especially the 10 miles a day he walks that he says helps a lot with keeping his diabetes under control. Alex wasn’t quite prepared for how physical it was or for having to deliver in every kind of weather, but he’s gotten used to those demands. Like you would expect from the son of Mr. McFeely, Alex has made plenty of friends along his delivery route, including one woman who makes him lunch everyday whether he’s brought one or not. Part of his route happens to include delivering to his parents’ first house on Dunmoyle Street. David said Alex once ended up delivering a letter he had mailed to a friend – yet another special moment in the bond between the real and pretend mail carriers. The “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” cameo came about after Fred Rogers Produc-

tions reached out to Alex about being part of that live-action interstitial. Supervising producer Chris Loggins said the show was looking for a mail carrier for that segment and they decided to go with Alex to showcase “a serendipitous case of life imitating art.” To drive home the connection, the house number on the package he delivers is 143, which always represented “I LOVE YOU” to Fred Rogers. “[H]e was such a good sport throughout the whole process,” Loggins said of Alex’s participation. “He even wore his uniform for the segment, although we were sure to provide him with the ‘Speedy Delivery’ cap. I think he asked to keep it afterwards.” For David, part of the fun of having his son appear on a Mister Rogers-related show is getting to share that with Ashton. He said they’ve started showing him “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” and old “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” episodes, though he doesn’t respond to much besides the closeups of Fred and Daniel’s faces. He wants Alex to watch his episode with Ashton to see if he will recognize his father on screen. “I’m so proud of him and his family,” David said. “He’s such a wonderful dad. It does my heart good to go over there and see Alex taking such an interest in his son. . . . Fred would be so delighted to know that too, because that’s exactly what Fred was doing with the program: encouraging family communication.” Alex believes it is “definitely important to carry on the legacy of what Mister Rogers created,” which is why he jumped at the chance to be on “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.” The delivery connection to David made the whole experience even sweeter, and it was a great opportunity to honor his dad, who was the “greatest teacher for me and every other kid that grew up with the show.” “Thank you for being the greatest role model there is,” Alex said, “besides Mister Rogers.”

by Phillip Alder occurred during last year’s Canadian Championships, played online, of course. The initial report was by Keith Balcombe. How did the defenders defeat four hearts? Note South’s jump advance of three hearts. Two hearts would have promised no points at all – one must take out partner’s takeout double (unless long and strong in the opener’s suit). Naturally, Kamel Fergani (West) led the spade ace. Under that, Zygmunt Marcinski (East) signaled with the two. Since the defenders were using upside-down signals, this was encouraging. West now cashed the diamond ace. Which card did East play? He followed suit with the 10. This served two purposes: Since it was high, it was discouraging. But much more importantly, it was a suit-preference signal for the other two side suits. East was stressing that he had a useful card in spades. Getting the message, West continued with a low spade. East won with his queen and gave his partner a diamond ruff. Fergani and Marcinski had taken the first four tricks. To end, here is a suggestion: If you are considering shifting to a singleton at trick two, lead king from ace-king, not the normal ace. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

East Bay Times

on’t miss: “The Walking Dead” – It’s the beginning of the end as the zombie sensation kicks off the first part of its 11th and final season. In the gasp-inducing opener, Alexandria has been left ravaged by the Whisperers. With food supplies quickly dwindling and tensions on the rise, Maggie proposes a new plan that some view as a suicide mission. It’s a terrifying journey that has the survivors – joined by reformed baddie Negan – making their way through a dark subway tunnel under Washington, D.C. (9 p.m. ET Sunday, AMC). Other bets: Sunday: Set in the 1850s, the harrowing new drama “Chapelwaite” follows a sea captain (Adrien Brody), who moves with his three children to a seemingly sleepy town in Maine after the death of his wife. But then scary things begin to happen. The series is adapted from Stephen King’s short story “Jerusalem’s Lot.” (10 p.m., Epix). Monday: On “The Ultimate Surfer,” 14 upand-coming wave-riders train and compete at a state-of-the-art surf ranch, powered by human-made wave technology. The last man and woman standing each win $100,000 and a chance to appear on the World Surf League Championship Tour. (10 p.m., ABC). Tuesday: Back from hiatus, “Supergirl” kicks off its final run of episodes. As our Kryptonian leading lady and Zor-El (guest star Jason Behr) return to National City, they’re determined to leave the Phantom Zone behind and enjoy being superheroes together. But, of course, a new threat soon emerges. (9 p.m., The CW). Wednesday: Details about “American Horror Story: Double Feature” are scarce. What we do know about the 10th installment of the anthology series is that it will serve up two creepy stories – “Red Tide” and “Death Valley” – and many familiar faces, including Sarah Paulson,

Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy and Finn Wittrock. (10 p.m., FX). Wednesday: As Season 12 of the animated spy comedy “Archer” begins, Sterling Archer and his team face brutal new competition from a spy conglomerate known as IIA (International Intelligence Agency). Will his mom and pop operation be able to fend off these soulless vultures – or get swallowed alive? (10 p.m., FXX). Wednesday: Adrian Grenier (“Entourage”) returns to series television in the chilling “Clickbait.” He plays a loving father and husband who mysteriously disappears and then turns up online, badly beaten, and holding a sign that reads, “I abuse women. At 5 million views, I die.” What the heck is going on? (Netflix). Thursday: In Season 2 of the social satire “The Other Two,” celebrity wannabes Brooke and Cary Dubek (Helene Yorke, Drew Tarver) must now contend with a newly famous family member – their bubbly, 53-year-old mother Pat (Molly Shannon), who has become a daytime talk show star. (HBO Max). Friday: “Disney Princess Remixed – An Ultimate Princess Celebration” is a music-filled special that honors the “empowering attributes” of Disney’s royal heroines through reimagined performances of their well-known songs. Twelve-year-old YouTube star Txunamy Ortiz narrates. (7:30 p.m., Disney Channel). Friday: Fans of the hysterical “traumedy” known as “Pen15” are in for a treat as the series about middleschool outcasts delivers an animated special. In “Jacuzzi,” Anna and Maya go on vacation with Curtis and are introduced to new crippling insecurities. (Hulu). Saturday: In the softhearted TV film “Sweet Pecan Summer,” a woman (Christine Ko) has to work with her exboyfriend (Wes Brown) to sell her favorite aunt’s pecan farm. Quite predictably, old feelings start to rekindle. (9 p.m., Hallmark Channel).

AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: PATRICIA MUNAYER Case Number: FPR050773

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. CA-19-876258-JB Order No.: FIN-19001563 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 7/1/2018. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Gilda Torres and Fausto Torres, wife and husband and Eirel Ira Syd J Torres, a single man all as joint tenants Recorded: 7/9/2018 as Instrument No. 201800045485 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SOLANO County, California; Date of Sale: 9/8/2021 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Santa Clara St. Entrance of the Vallejo City Hall, located at 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $390,240.33 The purported property address is: 255 ATLANTIC AVE, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533 Assessor's Parcel No.: 0162-144-070 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-2802832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-876258-JB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-876258-JB to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in the bid book. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. The City of Suisun City will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes "helper" (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.

Bid rigging activities can be reported Mondays through Fridays, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, Telephone No. 1-800-424-9071. Anyone with knowledge of possible bid rigging, bidder collusion, or other fraudulent activities should use the “hotline” to report these activities. The “hotline” is part of the DOTʼs continuing effort to identify and investigate highway construction contract fraud and abuse and is operated under the direction of the DOT Inspector General.

Rams: Open season against Orestimba From Page B1 started games in 2019, a prospect that doesn’t thrill Medders, but he still likes his roster. “We will be young this year, but I do think it’s a talented group,” the coach said. The three returning players are led by Boone Hurley, an All-SDL first team pick two years ago. “He has worked really hard in the weight room and is the leader of our team,” Medders said. “He is unselfish, willing to play wherever we need him. “Josh Davis and Spencer Emigh also started a few games as sophomores, we will need them to be key contributors this season.” Diego Torres, who was the junior varsity QB in 2019, will be under center this season “and is very capable,” Medders said. Joining Torres in the backfield will be sophomore Marco Carrillo – “We have really high hopes for him,” Medders said. “He is a

hard worker, knows how to run the ball, and is skilled – and Davis, whom the coach said “is very athletic and we look for him to have a big season.” Also carrying the ball will be senior Sam Lara “who has worked hard in the off-season and was our JV tailback a few years ago,” Medders said. As pleased as Medders is with his backfield, he considers those blocking for them to be the strength of the team. “I really like our line, it’s probably one of the better groups we have had as a unit in the past few years,” the coach said. “All of them have been in the system, even going back to the junior program, they are hard workers and all good football players. As long as our line can stay healthy, I feel good about being able to move the ball.” For a school its size – enrollment 389, according to the Sac-Joaquin Section – Rio Vista annually features a solid roster. But that doesn’t

keep Medders from saying his biggest concern is the “same thing as I tell you every-year, but this year is probably more magnified: basically the numbers. Every time we play (opponents) will have more kids on the roster (and) we have to hope we are bringing more football players on those given nights. And . . . hope for a little bit of luck and avoid the injury bug, and Covid impacts.” In addition to wiping out what would have been the 2020 season, the pandemic has impacted the Rams in numerous ways. “Some of the boys started getting jobs to fill their time last year and figured out they enjoy having a little change in their pocket, which has impacted our numbers a little,” Medders said. “Some other players found other things they enjoy, which is good for them. We are always light in numbers, but this year we will actually be a little lighter. The young men we have out now

are football players, though. While we would always like more players, on the plusside, we have weeded out the guys not 100% in.” With their recent success in the Sierra Delta League – no more than two losses in the SDL from 2013 to 2018 – and winning the 2017 SJS Division VII title – the Rams aren’t about to let missing a season alter their aim. “Our goal is always the league and section titles,” Medders said. “But, if I am being honest, my personal goal is just trying to get our culture and attitude re-established. And the reality is, it’s been almost 20 months since we have played in a game, I really just want to see the boys back on the field, playing the game they love, seeing the parents and community watching their team they want to see play. The whole deal has been missed, no doubt.” The Rams open the season by hosting Orestimba on Friday at 7 p.m.
