Tri-City NAACP follows up on previous Covid vaccine clinic Susan Hiland

FAIRFIELD — The opportunity is here for anyone to get a Covid-19 vaccination, Johnicon George Sr., president of the Tri-City NAACP, said Saturday during the organization’s second vaccine clinic at Bethel Community Church.

The clinic was primarily designed to put second shots into the arms of those who received their first dose at the previous clinic at the church, but first doses were also available to those who wanted them.

“If anyone is getting the first shot today, we will not be the place to provide the second shot but we gave people infor-

mation on where to go to get that second dose,” George said.

Visitors could choose between the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine or the two-dose Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines. Participants could also pick up a goodie bag filled with treats and food. The bags also had Target gift cards inside.

George said he got his Covid-19 immunization months ago and remembers only having a sore arm for a few See Clinic, Page A9

Caldor Fire burns more structures Tribune Content Agency PLACERVILLE — The Caldor Fire east of Sacramento that has already forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents grew by more than 6,500 acres overnight as firefighters prepared for another difficult day battling the blaze amid persistent hot and dry conditions.

The fire, which has been raging in El Dorado County for a week, has destroyed 245 structures, including 81 more overnight. As of Saturday morning, the fire covered 82,444 acres and was zero percent contained.

Fire officials said Saturday morning that high winds and the weakening

of an inversion layer that had created some moisture could lead to further growth of the fire and dangerous conditions for firefighters.

Saturday’s weather patterns could allow more heating of vegetation, resulting in more unstable air that could help the fire generate a large plume of ash and smoke, officials said.

Winds were expected to pick up before noon, although gusts of 25 mph had already been recorded by 7 a.m., said Capt. Thomas Shoots, a public information officer with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

poker game. On a ship. Coming back from the Korean War in 1953.

Is there a better story than that behind what’s ostensibly an electronic device of the 1950s?

Having left his hometown in eastern Montana, my dad joined the Air Force ahead of being drafted into the Army. He spent time in Korea (where he picked up habits that continued into my childhood, including really short showers and a love of Spam) and then came home. At that point, he was in his early 20s and hadn’t met my mom.

His whole life was ahead of him.

During a poker game on the trip home, one of his fellow passengers ran out of money and offered a Norelco electric razor as collateral. An electric razor!

New technology!

My dad won the hand, taking the shaver.

I remember the shaver from my childhood and may have even used it on some of my early shaves. Since it’s from the early 1950s, it’s not rechargeable. As my dad said, in those days, if something was electric, it was plugged in.

Back at our hotel that day, I plugged it in and it worked.

It was sluggish and probably wouldn’t be very effective at shaving a beard without a new motor, but it was a SEVENTYYEAR-OLD electric razor, still trying to do its job.

Before my dad was a 90-year-old living in a senior apartment complex, before being married to my mom and

stepmom (both of whom died), before having any kids – heck, before getting a leather satchel for being promoted to manager on his way to being a managing partner of an independent CPA firm – he was like a movie character: A guy coming home on a ship from a foreign war, winning an electric razor in a poker game.

Maybe when I’m 90 I’ll pass something like that on to my sons. Except it will be a CD that I burned on my desktop computer or something like that.

Or maybe . . . it will be an electric shaver that my dad won on a transport ship in 1953, coming home from the Korean War. Reach Brad Stanhope at bradstanhope@outlook.com.

The fun, wacky world of FlossTube Tribune Content Agency SAN JOSE — The first person to realize that the tiny holes in a fabric’s weave were the perfect guide for stitching precise little Xs might have trouble recognizing what is now known as counted cross-stitch.

The ancient art with roots in sixth-century China has taken over the internet with devotees making weekly and even daily YouTube videos, dubbed FlossTube, filling Instagram with hashtags and setting off a frenzy not usually seen in the domestic arts.

It’s a phenomenon even its most ardent supporters have trouble explaining.

Cross-stitch’s last resurgence was in the 1990s. But when its popularity faded once more, brick-and-mortar stores closed, box stores stopped carrying the necessities, and die-hard fans were left to stitch alone.

Enter the pandemic.

“Last year has been big,” says San Leandro cross-stitcher Olivia Basegio. “Really big.”

People were at home without anything to do, Basegio says, so they started watching FlossTube – and then they started stitching and shopping. “The more people saw on FlossTube, the more they wanted to do.”

Basegio, an executive assistant for a solar panel company, has a FlossTube channel called Olivia B. She says social media has united cross-stitchers in ways no one imagined could happen.

Hobby loyalists had been working for years to keep the craft alive, reaching out with videos where they diligently showed their progress and breathlessly displayed the works of new designers, new fabrics and new floss. At first, there were several dozen FlossTubes with a few hundred followers each.

The pandemic changed that.

By the time the lockdown was hitting its stride, the number of FlossTube channels had increased into the hundreds, attracting thousands of subscribers.

Basegio started her FlossTube channel about five years ago. She had stitched her first project – a “Silence of the Lambs” sampler for her sister’s boyfriend – and was immediately hooked. When she stumbled across FlossTube, she became fascinated by the videos, which share not only projects and new patterns but personal stories as well.

“My friends like what I do, but they don’t really get it. They don’t stitch, and they don’t have that connection,” Basegio says.

“They don’t know the lingo. On FlossTube, I’ve found other people I can talk to for hours about cross-stitch.”

In those days, she says, cross-stitching seemed to be all about teddy bears and fairies.

But cruising the shops on Etsy,

she found patterns for Harry Potter designs and sarcastic quotes to stitch.

“I thought, ‘Yay! Cross-stitch for young people,’” Johns says.

Not having stitched in years and having no one to ask, she did what many of us do these days when looking for direction. She searched YouTube and found FlossTube videoes.

In brief Vallejo reports 2nd homicide of week

VALLEJO — A 56-year-old homeless man was found shot early Friday, and despite life-saving efforts, was pronounced dead at the scene, the Vallejo Police Department reported.

Officers arrived shortly before 1:20 a.m. to the 3600 block of Sonoma Boulevard, the police said.

The name of the man was not released by the Police Department, nor were other details, such as the caliber of the weapon, whether there is a suspect in the case or what possible motivation led to the shooting.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call 648-4533 or 648-5426.

This was the ninth reported homicide in the city in 2021 and the second in less than a week.

A 46-year-old Vallejo man was found shot at approximately 11:40 p.m.

Aug. 15 inside a vehicle on the 1400 block of Solano Avenue. The man was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Police invite public to join volunteer team VACAVILLE — The Police Department is encouraging members of the public to join the VIPS program, Volunteers in Police Services.

Volunteers do things like assist in Records and Evidence, serve on Streetlight and Graffiti task forces and serve in the Senior Wellness program.

Current members of the VIPS program were welcomed back by the department after a year and half away due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Those interested in joining the VIPS program should contact coordinator Kaitlynn Crigger at Kaitlynn.Crigger@cityof vacaville.com.

Students are big part of big, but asymptomatic, Covid numbers Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Students exposed to family members with the coronavirus are showing up on school campuses with positive tests.

However, the vast majority of those students, some preschoolers as young as 3, are asymptomatic and therefore highly unlikely to spread the disease among classmates.

“It is a low likelihood that they would be spreading (the virus),” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview Friday.

“But it is not zero.”

The students, about half of whom are old enough to be vaccinated, are being allowed to stay at school largely due to the policy requiring them to wear masks.

Supervisor Monica Brown, in her regular Covid-19 update, expressed her frustration with the lack of a countywide mask order.

“I know that many of you have requested the county issue a mask mandate. I have told the public health officer and the county administrator that I want a mask mandate implemented,” Brown said in the email update released out of her district office.

“The public health officer has made it clear he will not implement a mask mandate. As only one of five supervisors, I do not have the authority to implement one or to order staff to implement one. Only the entire board can do that,” she added.

Brown also noted federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state Public Health recommendations for wearing masks in indoor public spaces.

The county reported 470 additional cases since Wednesday’s update, bringing the county total to 38,764.

Solano County nurse Michael Modrich prepares a Pfizer vaccine shot at Vacaville High School, Wednesday.

Matyas said of the cases that were added, “about 260 are in the timeframe that is relevant (for Friday), and the others are (older).”

He said the late reports from the state are making it difficult to know what the actual disease rate is, but said over the past 10 days, the daily rate has jumped to 110.

The number of residents who are hospitalized with the disease was reported Friday at 138, down from 143 Wednesday. There are 33 residents in the intensive care unit.

Matyas also reported three more Covid-related deaths, bringing the total from this current surge to six, and overall to 262.

There was one man who was between 50 and 65, while one man and one woman were 65 or older.

All died at home and all had significant health issues. One had been vaccinated, Matyas said.

The percentages of

residents who have been vaccinated remained the same as Wednesday, with 60% being fully vaccinated and 73% having received at least one shot.

There was also a published report that linked the Moderna vaccine to a heart condition among younger adults, although the report indicated a very low frequency of the problem occurring.

Matyas said that is a situation that will require close scrutiny, but like most treatments, the full knowledge of side effects could take years, even decades to fully understand.

Those negative impacts from vaccines that were approved on an emergency basis is one of the reasons some people opt out of getting vaccinated.

Fairfield added 133 cases to take its total to 10,527. Vallejo added 120 cases for a new count of 11,416. Vacaville is at 10,125 after 123 new

reports since Wednesday, the county reported.

Suisun City (2,738) added 44 new cases; Dixon (2,160) added 26 cases; Benicia (1,205) added 18; Rio Vista (472) added four; and the two new reports in the unincorporated area of the county took that total to 128 cases, the county reported.

Active cases climbed from 946 Wednesday to 1,087 Friday.

The seven-day positivity testing rate was 20.1%, down from 20.3%.

Solano County health officials do not release case updates on weekends. The next update is scheduled late Monday afternoon.

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

ence more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death.

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

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

The CDC has reported that vaccinated people who are subsequently infected with the delta variant of the coronavirus are capable of transmitting the virus to others.

That finding, along with a surge of new cases and hospitalizations driven by the highly transmissible delta variant, led the CDC to change its guidance on wearing face coverings.

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

Solano jobless rate down slightly; local jobs also decline Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The unemployment rate in July dipped slightly in Solano County, but the total number of local jobs also fell with schools shuttered for the summer.

The jobless rate was reported at 7.6%, down from 7.8% in June, the

Labor Market Division of the state Employment Development Department reported Friday.

The unemployment rate in July 2020 was 13.6%.

The EDD reported that there were 136,200 local jobs in Solano in July, down 300 from June.

However, that includes the typical summertime

loss of local education jobs, which dropped from 7,600 to 6,300, the EDD reported.

Take education out of the picture, and there was actually a gain in local jobs across selected sectors, including 100 additional farm jobs to take the total to 1,800 – 200 more than in July 2020.

Nonfarming sectors, minus local education, added 600 jobs, the EDD reported.

Construction added 400 jobs, as did restaurants.

The total civilian workforce in July was listed at 204,300, up from June’s revised total of 201,900.

There were 188,800 residents employed, while

15,600 residents sought unemployment benefits, the EDD reported.

The state unemployment rate was 7.9%, down from 8%. The national rate was 5.7%, down from 6.1%, the EDD reported. Those rates in July 2020 were 13.6% and 10.5%, respectively, the EDD reported.

Solano ranked 41st

among the 58 California counties. The lowest unemployment rate was in Marin County at 4.5%.

The highest rate was in Imperial County at 18.9%.

Solano’s jobless rate was the highest among the nine Bay Area counties.

The next closest was 6.7% in Contra Costa County, the EDD reported.

SMUD moves forward on Solano project despite local opposition Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — One Solano official called “disappointing” a decision by the SMUD board to approve a 19-turbine wind project in Solano County that area officials contend will negatively affect Travis Air Force Base radar operations.

The Sacramento Metropolitan Utility District on Thursday night approved the project in which the utility will replace its existing Solano 4 turbines with 19 taller versions in the Montezuma Hills area.

The Solano County Airport Land Use Commission had rejected the project as being incompatible with air bases operations, but Travis told SMUD the new turbines would have a “minimal negative increase” on the

Greg had many hobbies such as hunting, fishing and collecting baseball cards. He was constantly helping neighbors build things or fixing anything. He was a jack of all trades and an expert at most.

His biggest passion besides his family was coaching his sons in Little League. He coached for 13 seasons between Vacaville and Fairfield for both of his sons. He loved all his players over the years.

is important. He called the SMUD decision “disappointing,” The county’s position is that the existing turbines already have a negative

impact, and no matter how incremental the impacts will be by the taller turbines, it is still increasing the negative effect.

Those impacts are why the Board of Supervisors enacted a moratorium on all new wind projects in the area of the base.

However, because SMUD is a public utility and not a commercial enterprise, it is exempt.

The SMUD board also voted to override that Solano airport commission decision. Whether or not the utility has that authority is in question, Schmidtbauer said.

He said the County Counsel’s Office, which also staffs the airport commission, is looking into the matter from both perspectives.

SMUD officials could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon.

Parole Board denies Kairos to host Car killer’s bid for release Swap Meet and Show FAIRFIELD — A man serving a 61-year sentence for fatally stabbing another California Medical Facility inmate had his parole application denied this week.

Solano County Chief Deputy District Attorney Sharon S. Henry spoke against the release of Michael Ray Simmons, 60, at the state Parole Board hearing Thursday.

The Parole Board found that Simmons poses an unreasonable risk to the public if released, according to a statement released by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office.

Simmons was convicted of murder Dec. 20, 1993, in Solano County Superior Court and sentenced to 61 years, eight months in state prison.

He was serving a 26-year, eight-month sentence out of Los Angeles and Orange counties that started in May 1981 for a number of serious and violent crimes, including rape, when he used prison-made knife a to fatally stab Tyrone Nelson, according to a statement released by the District Attorney’s Office and state prison records.

Simmons is incarcerated at California State Prison, Sacramento.

Commission supports valley plan changes FAIRFIELD — The proposed reduction in the number of housing units in the Middle Green Valley Specific Plan and other changes will go to the Solano County Board of Supervisors for final approval.

The county Planning Commission on Thursday recommended the proposed amendments, which drops the planned buildout from 400 to 390 homes.

The amendments also call for development rights to go from the Three Creeks neighborhood to the Elkhorn neighborhood, which also was recommended for Board of Supervisors approval by the commission.

The planning staff reported that the changes do not “result in any new significant impacts and no additional environmental review is required.”

When the supervisors will take up the matter has not been set.

Top Taliban leader back in Kabul US Embassy warns of danger outside airport Tribune Content Agency KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban’s top political leader has returned to Kabul, cementing the militant group’s grip on the city, as the U.S. Embassy on Saturday warned of security threats outside the capital’s crowd-ringed airport, the only U.S. redoubt remaining in all Afghanistan.

The arrival in the capital of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, confirmed Saturday by pro-Taliban officials, signaled that nearly a week after overrunning Kabul and sending the country’s president into exile, the Islamist insurgent group is moving to formalize the composition of a new government of what it calls the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

The group, known for its brutal rule a generation ago, has urged Afghans not to flee, saying they have nothing to fear. But tens of thousands of people are seeking to get out of the country, converging on the capital’s airport in numbers so large that the facility has become both bunker and bottleneck.

President Joe Biden huddled Saturday morning with members of his national security team, the White House said, to discuss the situation in Afghanistan, including the threat posed by the Islamic State militant group, particularly to the throngs outside the airport.

Overnight, entrances to the airfield were closed as U.S. and other Western diplomats inside struggled to deal with a huge backlog of Afghans who either aided in the American-led war effort, or are now considered at risk because of work with groups advocating causes such as women’s rights.

The alert distributed Saturday by the U.S. Embassy advised citizens “to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time” unless individually instructed to come.

That guidance was tied to what were described as “potential security threats outside the gates.”

U.S. officials have cited Islamic State as among

Afghan people stand in line as they wait for their turn to collect money from an ATM in front of a bank along a roadside in Kabul, Saturday, days after the Taliban’s stunning takeover of Afghanistan. possible attackers, a threat that national security advisor Jake Sullivan has said the U.S. is “laserfocused” on countering.

In addition, those braving the increasingly dangerous crush outside the gates have encountered intimidation and beating by Taliban fighters manning the barricades.

The latest figures from the Pentagon reflected the scope of the struggle to airlift out the thousands who want to leave. Military officials said Saturday morning that in the past 24 hours about 3,800 civilians had departed on about six C-17 military cargo planes and 32 charter flights, a slowdown from the previous day.

Part of the problem is finding places for all those people to go once safely out of Afghanistan. The Biden administration has been working to finalize agreements with countries willing to act as transit hubs for Afghan evacuees.

In Kabul, Taliban leaders have indicated no new government will be formally announced until after the Aug. 31 deadline for the departure of American troops has passed. Biden has left open the possibility of extending the presence of about 6,000 soldiers and U.S. Marines supporting the massive U.S.-overseen airlift, but said it could not be open-ended.

In a sign of willingness to forge a working relationship with the Taliban

Tennessee inundated with rain, ‘catastrophic’ flooding The Washington Post Central Tennessee was inundated with rain Saturday, leaving some towns struggling with severe flooding.

“The town of Waverly [about 60 miles west of Nashville] is pretty much underwater,” said Krissy Hurley, the warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Nashville.

“There are no deaths that we have been made aware of, but there are people on their roofs waiting to be rescued and many people trapped in their vehicles.”

Hurley said some parts of the western middle of Tennessee received 8 to 10 inches of rain, some even more, all within an eight-hour span, starting at midnight. Dickson,

Hickman, Humphreys and Houston counties fared the worst, suffering catastrophic flooding, she said.

As much as 18 inches of rain fell over the past 48 hours around McEwen, Tenn., and a swath of 6 to 14 inches west of Nashville, most of it in the past 24 hours. Dangerous flooding is underway and a flash flood warning is in effect, according to Craig Ceecee, a meteorologist at Mississippi State University who has been watching the area’s storms and flooding.

Flash flood emergencies have been declared for portions of Dickson, Hickman, Humphreys and Houston counties, and the NWS reports numerous road closures and calls for water rescues in those counties.

rulers, former President Hamid Karzai, the country’s first leader after the previous Taliban rule ended in 2001, and Abdullah Abdullah, a senior official in the deposed government, met Saturday with the group’s acting governor of Kabul. Abdullah tweeted afterward that the top priority was to protect the “life, property & dignity” of the capital’s residents.

Baradar, a co-founder of the Taliban movement who is now being eyed as a possible new president, was expected to hold talks soon with Karzai and other political figures who have been urging the Taliban to include some representation from outside the militant group in the new leadership structure.

Taliban officials in recent days have launched an all-out public-relations campaign, seeking to assure Afghans and a watching world that the group has moved on from its harshly repressive methods of a generation

ago, which included public executions, draconian punishments for infractions like stealing, and the erasure of women from public life.

Seeking to portray itself as a responsible steward of the country of 38 million people, the Taliban has said it will not seek vengeance on those who have opposed it.

But human rights groups have already documented instances of atrocities and reprisal attacks against former government officials and members of the vanquished Afghan security forces, as well as ethnic minorities.

Part of that Taliban effort to win respectability has been reassurances offered to journalists, particularly the foreign press.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid tweeted Saturday that a committee has been set up to address “media problems” in Kabul, but on the streets of Kabul, individual fighters have sometimes violently set upon Western reporters.

Henri strengthened into a Category One hurricane on Saturday and is on course to pound the coast of New York and New England with damaging winds, dangerous storm surges and heavy rains.

The storm is forecast to strike Long Island on Sunday before pushing into Connecticut and the upper Hudson River Valley or Berkshire Hills.

New York City, to the west of Henri’s track, will likely be buffeted by gusts up to 60 miles per hour, and areas along the city’s East River and Flushing Bay could have sea levels rise as much as 5 feet as the storm rushes through. Winds should begin to rise throughout New York and Long Island early Sunday.

However, barring a further shift, the city will avoid a direct strike from Henri.

Henri’s final track will depend on a weather system developing in the Midwest. Forecasts have already shifted a number of times.

The storm was between Bermuda and the coast of North Carolina, about 465 miles south of Montauk Point, New York, with winds of 75 mph, just above the hurricane threshold, as of an 11 a.m. EDT advisory from the National Hurricane Center. The outlook called for it strengthen further through the day before weakening slightly on Sunday as it nears the coast.

Hurricane warnings have been posted

from Fire Island Inlet to Montauk Point on Long Island’s south shore and from Port Jefferson Harbor to the eastern tip on the north side, and extended to Westport, Massachusetts, and for Block Island, which is a popular tourist destination.

The storm’s then expected to cross Long Island Sound and make a second landfall later on Sunday near New Haven, Connecticut, Miller said.

Earlier outlooks on Friday had the storm striking near Providence, Rhode Island, bringing its worst winds across eastern Massachusetts and the resort areas of Cape Cod. Although the impact on New York City and Boston will mostly be in the form of high winds, a dangerous storm surge may funnel into Long Island Sound, striking both the New York and Connecticut coastlines.

The winds, rain, and surge damage could reach at least $1 billion in losses, said Chuck Watson, a disaster modeler with Enki Research. Many of those costs will be absorbed by residents, who will make repairs themselves or because the damage won’t reach insurance deductibles.

The storm could also kick up a tornado or two over southern New England, the NHC said.

“It is hard to get a strong tropical storm or minimal hurricane hit anywhere in the U.S. and not get upwards to $1 billion in impacts,” Watson said. “And of course the Northeast is such a target rich environment.”

How trees helped ancient Maya city beat the heat The Washington Post This summer, many areas of the United States have been suffering historic droughts. Climate change has brought very high temperatures and less-than-normal rain and snow to parts of the West, Southwest and other regions.

That means there is less water to drink and less water for crops. It also means hot weather, which can be hard to take, especially in cities with a lot of concrete and few trees – what are known as “urban heat islands.”

Thousands of years ago the Maya people endured the same problems. Their civilization once thrived in parts of today’s Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras. They had their own systems of written language and astronomy, and they were amazing architects of pyramids, as well as cities. One of the cities, Tikal, was built in what is now Guatemala. Tikal was home to tens of thousands of people during the years 600 to 800.

“It was quite a remarkable place, with towering temples poking up above the top of the rainforest,” says Nicholas Dunning.

He’s a geographer at the University of Cincinnati who is part of a team that’s been studying Tikal for more than a decade. It began to be excavated more than 100 years ago. He recently worked on a new research project about Tikal, its water and its plants.

“Although we think of tropical rainforest as a place that’s always wet,” says Dunning, Tikal was built in a place that got little rain for half the year. In addition, it had no year-round lakes or rivers – although it did have an important spring. The Maya also did not have a system to reach groundwater. So they built reservoirs to collect and store rainwater. Between two of those reservoirs, at a temple and the palace, were lots of trees.

Mario Bollini

Central Tikal as seen from the top of Temple IV with, from left, Temple I, II, and III poking above the forest. surrounding rainforest to raise food while “leaving enough of it in place to meet their needs for wood and other resources,” says Dunning. He compares it to today’s practice of chopping down much larger parts of the Amazon rainforest to raise cattle for beef, which he calls “bad for the health of local environment and the global environment, too.” The Maya would have used slash-and-burn techniques and let the forest grow back after a few years.

Although the Maya changed the environment with their farming and other practices, they had much less impact on the climate than we do now, Dunning says. The Maya had no cars and no metal tools, and they understood “that you have to have balance,” he says. “If you abuse the world it’s going to come back and bite you or your children or your children’s children. You’ll pay a price, or someone will.”

That’s a lesson we should remember today.

Dunning and his colleagues ran tests to see what kinds of trees these might have been. They discovered that they were wild plants from the surrounding rainforest.

They would have served different, important purposes. Their long roots helped prevent erosion, which would have helped keep their water clean. Some of them provided food and medicines. And they created shade, which would have provided a pocket of cool in a very hot and dry city. The areas around houses, too, would have bits of forest, orchards and food gardens.

In today’s cities, planting trees in parks or on sidewalks is still a heat-busting technique. However, Dunning says that most Maya people probably didn’t have access to the temple/palace oasis; it was probably reserved only for royals.

As Tikal grew, its rulers had to think about how to feed 60,000 people or more. They would have had to cut down parts of the

Dear Mom of a Grown Daughter: Ideally, in parenting, you raise your children to have a strong foundation; you give them good roots, and then you give them wings to fly away on their own. It sounds like you have done a great job parenting. I don’t think your daughter is mistreating you; I think she is happy and enjoying her life, which should be your goal.

Maybe see if you can go over and visit her and all of your many grandkids.

Sometimes, when we are having a difficult time in life, even in adulthood, it is our parents who help us out. Your daughter was going through a tough time with her ex-husband, and your support was so helpful that she was able to get

back on her feet and find a good husband and a happy life. Job well done, Mom. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated Friend,” who was struggling with how to handle a “frenemy,” and my heart went out to her, as I have lived the exact same situation.

You are perfectly correct in your response that this person is no friend.

I, too, never knew how to handle my frenemy because the insults were always spoken sotto voce or to someone else but always loud enough for me to hear, or, as “Frustrated Friend” says, “embarrassing” because they were said “while in the company of others.”

You suggest, “Stand up for yourself the next time she

insults you.” I would love to get some suggestions from you on how to handle this type of individual. How does one stand up to someone who is so passiveaggressive? — Been There Dear Been There: The best way to stand up to a bully (even a passive-aggressive one) is to stand up to the bully directly.

Let them know very directly that you don’t have time for passive-aggressive games. If they continue to try to boss you around through passive-aggressiveness, it might be time to pack your bags and look for a new friend.

Today’s birthday Here comes a thrilling sense of progress. Innovation is a strength. You’ll solve problems and modernize where it makes sense. Friends, supporters and customers will be attracted to what you’re putting into the world at the end of the year. December brings a purchase to write home about. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 22, 1, 19 and 48.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The financial aspect of your day is important to tend to. But with so many more meaningful matters at hand, the issue of money will settle into a position far down your list, which is where it belongs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you didn’t think of yourself as powerful and wonderful, these new responsibilities you are gearing up for would seem overwhelming indeed. Allow yourself a moment of ego-building. It helps!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll reach a level of objectivity that previously eluded you. The ability to remove yourself from your attachments and see the scene from a new position will quite literally be money in the bank.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life comes at you in the manner of a snakeoil salesman – promising beauty and vitality in a bottle for $100. Research will reveal an equally effective $3 version.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Apply logic, abstract thought, creative hypothesis or deductive reasoning; the result will be the same no matter how you approach it. Nothing will happen unless you act.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll do what you’re so good at and keep going with it until you’re the last one standing – and then you’ll take it even further. Why stop? You may even set a record.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You connect with other people’s needs and become important to the attainment of their goals. It’s a busy position, but hopefully not too busy to take a beat to revel in your relevance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may not feel like you’re doing anything of note. But because you’re engrossed in life, you’re learning more than you’re aware of. Later, you’ll combine your talent with what you absorbed today and you’ll give a top performance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’re locked, loaded, suited, booted and ready to go. But until the others on your team are on board, this ship will stay grounded. Figure out what the holdup is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Tell a story; give a performance, or teach. Your cosmic gift for the day will be a receptive audience. Evening brings the perfect conditions to forge a lasting bond.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There will be a temptation to anticipate interest, jump on opportunity and provide the answers before the questions are even asked. The lucky way will be to play it cool. Lay it back, and wait to see what others come up with.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have what they need, but if you offer it too freely or reliably, you will be taken advantage of in time. Be easy but not effortless. Make it subtly known that you understand the high value you add.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Some babies born today will be Leos, and others will be Virgos. But in the year Kristen Wiig was born, the sun was in Leo on Aug. 22.

Getting vaccinated, wearing a mask while indoors and washing hands will help stop the spread of Covid-19 infections.

Take the right steps to

prevent Covid-19 infections S Dr. Colleen Townsend

Partnership HealthPlan of California

ARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes the illness Covid-19 that results in mild cold-like symptoms for some and causes serious breathing and circulation problems or even death for others.

Covid-19 infections, serious illness and hospitalizations have increased in Solano and neighboring counties since July. This rise in cases and hospitalizations follows a rise in the presence of the more infectious delta variant. Additionally, the increase in Covid-19 cases comes after a loosening of community practices in the early summer. At this time, individuals and communities need to reconsider the steps we need to take to prevent continued rise in infections and hospitalizations.

Initially, Covid-19 infections primarily affected older and chronically ill community members. The recent infections occur more commonly in younger people who may or may not have other conditions. Now younger and otherwise healthy people are requiring hospital care for these infections.

Since the availability of vaccines and the successful efforts at vaccinating people over 65 years old, there is a decrease in the number of older people who are hospitalized and dying due to Covid-19 infection. However, the younger populations in Solano

County have not been accessing the Covid-19 vaccine at the same rate as older groups. Improving the number of Solano County residents who are vaccinated in all age groups will decrease the spread of Covid-19.

Solano County residents can access Covid-19 vaccine from many resources across the county. Covid-19 vaccine is recommended for individuals 12 years and older and they are free of cost.

There are many resources that provide vaccination. Please go to www.myturn. ca.gov to find the easiest and nearest vaccination resource for you and your family. If you have questions or concerns about the vaccine, please talk with your primary care provider or other trusted health care professional about the vaccine.

Mask mandates were discontinued in the past two months. Research and experiments show that community masking can reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and limit the impact of Covid-19 infections in our communities.

SARS-CoV-2 virus is spread between people when infected “droplets” (like saliva or mucous from the nose) are carried in the air between people.

These droplets are passed during conversation, singing or shouting as well as with coughing or sneezing.

The benefit of masking stems from limiting the passing of SARSCoV-2 virus from an infected person (source) and also decreasing the risk of

an uninfected masked person to “catch” the infection (wearer protection). The relationship between using masks for source control and wearer protection is additive. This means each person’s benefit increases with increasing use of masks in the community.

Mask use is safe and does not cause limitations in breathing or oxygen levels. Masks can be used during indoor exercise (at the gym) without causing problems with breathing or performance. Widespread community masking use can help decrease the burden of Covid-19 infection in our communities.

The critical steps of social or physical distancing, frequent and effective hand-washing, and good ventilation have added benefits of keeping family members and the community healthy and safe from Covid-19.

Our communities have learned how to prevent and limit infections over the past 18 months. Let us continue to use our common sense and the effective tools to limit the spread of Covid-19 infections. Talk with a health care professional about vaccination and look for local resources to complete your vaccines. Wear a mask when indoors in the community or at indoor gatherings and continue to wash hands and maintain social distancing.

He said he hopes that everyone gets vaccinated, but he understands the hesitancy.

“It’s sad people are demeaning others for getting it and then for not getting it,” he said.

The second clinic was not as busy as the initial offering. George said he understands that there are so many opportunities in the area to get the vaccine.

“That isn’t a problem,” he said. “I would rather have a scarcity of people because they got the shot at other places.”

Clinic organizers once again provided a hot dog lunch for those who received a vaccine, along with a gift bag of school supplies and the aforementioned gift cards.

This was the first year in recent memory that the Fairfield Main Street Association did not organize the event.

The shift came when the city parted ways with the association in order to host the event itself.

It took the help of nearly every city department to make it happen, according to the city’s new program director for special events, Andrea Azurdia. She started six weeks ago and this was her first event.

“I have lived in Vacaville my whole life but never been to the Tomato Festival,” Azurdia said.

The festival this year is broken into sections with the carnival, children’s activities and car show at Jefferson Street and the 28 vendors in the center of Texas Street with the tomato tasting in the middle, two stages for music, and finally the food vendors along with two wine and spirits gardens.

The car show will take place from noon to 5 p.m.

Sunday. Winners will be announced at the end of the day.

Authorities shut down a portion of Highway 50 and issued new evacuation orders Friday evening in anticipation of the weather. Nearly 30,000 people have been evacuated.

Crews have been focused on preparing homes in the fire’s path and making sure everyone is out of harm’s way, which can take away from time spent building containment lines, Shoots said. Those actions have taken on new urgency given the anticipated winds.

Center From Page One The supervisors, during the budget hearing June 24, moved the center’s budget under the purview of the County Administrator’s Office while an assessment of “the center and the services it provides” is completed.

“A consultant with appropriate expertise will perform this comprehensive assessment to measure overall organizational effectiveness, service delivery day-to-day efficiency, operations success, and operational sustainability,” the proposed letter to the grand jury states.

“It is expected the consultants’ findings and recommendations would be presented to the Board of Supervisors by the end of . . . 2021,” the letter states.

The letter also addresses each of the specific findings in the grand jury report and mostly mirrors those filed by the District Attorney’s Office.

Road closure notice Texas Street will remain closed Sunday between Taylor Street and Union Avenue due to the Tomato & Vine Festival. Vehicle traffic on Madison, Jackson, Webster and Jefferson streets will not be able to cross Texas Street. Visitors are encouraged to use the city and county parking areas.

the road has been closed so it was a soft opening,” he said. “We will do the grand opening next month.”

Singh had never been to the festival but said he was happy it was bringing in customers to taste the Indian-style pizza.

Singh is retiring from the U.S. Army Reserve this year and was grateful for his years of service because his military experience has been helpful getting things organized for his own business.

“I look forward to being able to give back to thing we can to ride this out today,” he said.

The winds were expected to push the fire to the north and east, toward areas that haven’t burned in 100 years, said Dana Walsh, public information officer with the U.S. Forest Service.

“Most of that area does not have a recent fire history,” she said of the east side.

Authorities dealing with multiple large fires are having to decide where to direct personnel and supplies. The battle continued against the Dixie Fire, which had grown to 714,219 acres as of Saturday morning and is the state’s second largest wildfire on record.

The fire, which is spreading in Butte and four other Northern California counties, has been active for more than a month. The fire is now 35% contained.

Firefighters battling the blaze there are

Diana Atchley came to the festival with her friends.

“We were here years ago,” she said. “It was different but I like the way things are set up this time with the kids carnival on one end.”

Atchley remembers fondly one year having a zip line that her children loved.

“But this is a great opportunity for people to access the local restaurants,” she said. “This year it is less crowded and people can walk inside and see what they

have to offer. In years past, it was too packed.”

Laura Sandusky of Fairfield had never been to the festival.

“For some reason I thought they would have more Italian food,” she said and laughed.

Eric Einem, of the Capay area, is the regional sales manager for Farm Fresh to You, which has participated in the festival almost every year for the past eight years. They provide farm-fresh food delivered to your door each week.

“Last year our business actually increased Covid because with people were having food delivered to their door,” he said. “It is really nice to be back to the festival.”

The festival will continue from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday with some warmer weather and the car show.

Flames from the Caldor Fire rise as the San Marcos Fire Department maintains a burn along Hazel Valley Road near Pollock Pines, Friday. expecting advantageous weather conditions Saturday. While winds could reach 35 mph or higher during the day, a shift in direction could drive the fire into itself, which would help keep it from spreading, said Doug Ulibarri, a spokesman for the CalFire incident response team.

“We’re looking good right now, but obviously

Mother Nature is Mother Nature and she’s going to push where she wants to push,” Ulibarri said.

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday will receive an update on the LNU Lightning Fire Complex recovery efforts, and consider a 75% reduction in business license fees for firms that gross $15,000 or less and meet other criteria.

“The Department (of Resource Management) has completed its review of the types of land uses and businesses within the unincorporated area and its review of business license fees charged by other counties.

Rodriguez blasts Bear Creek in opener, 45-0 Nick DeCicco

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY REPUBLIC

FAIRFIELD — Rodriguez High exploded for four touchdowns in the second quarter Friday at Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium en route to a 45-0 drumming of visiting Bear Creek High of Stockton in their 2021 season opener.

It was Rodriguez’s first shutout win in a season opener since defeating Burton of San Francisco 40-0 in the first game in school history in 2002 and

the first shutout overall since a 45-0 blanking of Fairfield in 2017.

Friday’s win tied the 2017 vanquishing of the Falcons for the second-biggest shutout and second-biggest margin of victory, topped only by a 49-0 crushing of Armijo in 2010.

For Myles King, the 45-point margin of victory was the most by a Mustangs coach in his first game, topping the 44 by Stevie Johnson in a 56-12 win over Armijo

in the spring opener in March. King also became just the third Mustangs coach to win his first game, joining Ken Nadeau (2002) and Johnson.

In the triumphant second quarter, Gerald Certeza struck twice, first bursting up the middle through the defense and into the end zone on a 6-yard dash to give the Mustangs a 13-0 edge.

Two and a half minutes later, it was Certeza again, recovering the fumble of a botched snap on a punt

and bolting 39 yards to put Rodriguez up 19-0.

The Mustangs scored twice in a two-minute period later in the second.

First, quarterback Miles Meadows hit Jamoryon Johnson with a pass over the middle before Johnson spun around and bolted for the left side of the goal line.

After Rodriguez’s Jeffrey Missouri picked off a David Sagapolu pass two plays into the following Bruins drive, it was Bentley Williams blasting through the line and

dancing through the secondary to pay dirt to give the Mustangs a 31-0 halftime edge.

Rodriguez led 6-0 at the end of the first quarter after Keith Gallon ran around the left side of the line for a 9-yard TD tote.

Gallon was the game’s only rusher to break the century mark, with eight carries totaling 103 yards.

The Mustangs added one additional touchdown in the final two quarters, with Leroy Bryant blasting down his own sideline

for a 65-yard punt return for a score in the third and Kenan Jones ran a QB keeper 3 yards around the right side of the line and inside the pylon for a TD in the fourth.

While the Mustangs had plenty to celebrate on offense, King praised the defense as well for holding the Bruins to zero points while limiting them to 40 total yards on offense. The Mustangs’ D sacked Sagapolu See Rodriguez, Page A12

released on Feb. 10, in Waukegan. Trading cards have seen an increase in popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic.

MLB will end 70-year baseball card deal with Topps for exclusive deal with Michael Rubin’s Fanatics

Matt Breen

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Topps, the industryleader for baseball cards for 70 years, will soon no longer have the rights to print Major League Baseball cards. The league and the players’ union made a deal with Fanatics Inc. this week for the company to exclusively produce MLB cards.

Topps printed its first baseball cards in 1951 and has had an exclusive deal with MLB since 2010.

That deal expires after 2025, and MLB’s deal

with Fanatics, a source confirmed, begins in 2026.

Fanatics is owned by Michael Rubin, the billionaire entrepreneur from Montgomery County who holds a minority stake of the 76ers. The company declined to comment.

Fanatics is the dominant e-commerce brand for sports apparel and is the official online retailer of five major American professional sports leagues. Earlier this week, Fanatics joined Jay-Z in bidding for a sports-betting license in New York state as the company con-

tinues to expand beyond selling apparel and memorabilia.

Topps helped make baseball cards iconic as it put stats on the back of its cards in 1952 and produced rookie cards for everyone from Mickey Mantle to Mike Trout. The company, vice president of product development Clay Luraschi said earlier this year, has a responsibility to teach the game of baseball to young fans. Soon, that responsibility will fall to Fanatics.

The trading card industry boomed during

the pandemic as collectors rediscovered the hobby or dug even deeper into it while the world was shut down.

Cards started moving like stocks as values for rookie cards and rare vintage cards spiked on resale markets such as eBay. Packs and boxes became so hard to find that collectors were able to flip them for double or triple the retail price.

“The current marketplace since Covid has been freaky. It’s just See Topps, Page A12

Giants beat A’s as LaMonte Wade Jr. hits go-ahead homer in ninth Tribune Content Agency OAKLAND — During a miserable eighth-inning sequence, the Giants proved they might be one of the worst “small ball” teams in the majors as catcher Curt Casali failed to execute a sacrifice bunt before Brandon Crawford was caught stealing by A’s reliever Jake Diekman during a botched attempt to advance to third base.

The 2021 Giants, however, aren’t built to win by playing small ball.

They win with the long ball, and that’s exactly how they stormed back to stun the A’s on Saturday at the Coliseum.

Kris Bryant, Brandon Belt and Darin Ruf all homered for the Giants in Saturday’s 6-5 win, but the defining blow of the afternoon came from LaMonte Wade Jr. who stepped off the bench and blasted a go-ahead, two-run home run off A’s closer Lou Trivino in the ninth inning.

After Belt drew a walk against Trivino, Giants manager Gabe Kapler sought a platoon advantage and substituted Wade in for Ruf. The move paid off as the left-handed

slugger belted his 16th home run of the season to send the Giants to a much-needed victory that kept the club 1.5 games ahead of the Dodgers in the National League West.

Wade’s home run came two innings after Belt and Ruf hit back-to-back blasts off A’s reliever Andrew Chafin, who had only allowed one home run all season entering Saturday’s outing and had yet to give up a run since joining Oakland at the trade deadline.

The late charge allowed the Giants to overcome one of their sloppiest performances of the season and completely changed the tune for a team that looked destined to lose in embarrassing fashion.

The Giants’ issues began in the bottom of the first, when starter Kevin Gausman began his outing by inducing a routine groundball to Flores at third base. Flores threw wide of Brandon Belt, who didn’t move off of first base fast enough to prevent the ball from skipping away into foul territory. The defensive mistake immediately haunted the Giants as Mark Canha raced all the way around to third base on the play before coming in to score on a Star-

ling Marte double.

With two outs in the inning, Gausman gave up a bloop single into left field to A’s right fielder Seth Brown that brought home two more runs to put the Giants in a 3-0 hole.

No A’s batter hit a ball harder than 99 miles per hour off of Gausman, but the A’s still tagged him for five runs in just 3 2/3 innings as he allowed a RBI double to Josh Harrison in the third inning before giving Oakland a run with a fourth inning wild pitch.

The outing only added to the recent questions surrounding Gausman’s effectiveness and ability to lead the Giants rotation in the playoffs. In seven starts during the second half, Gausman has only completed six innings once and has posted a 5.17 ERA, which provides a stark contrast to the 1.73 ERA the right-hander took into the AllStar break.

Gausman isn’t the only Giants starter failing to pitch deep into games of late, but his struggles are the most pronounced because the organization is countSee Giants, Page A12

FAIRFIELD — The Armijo High football team notched its first touchdown of the 2021 fall season shortly after the type of miracle that can make a season – recovering a fumble on the same play a fumble was lost to keep the scoring drive alive.

Unfortunately for the Royals, the miracles stopped there as they dropped a 35-6 decision to El Camino of Sacramento to open the 2021 season at Brownlee Field, Friday.

The play in question occurred early in the second quarter after Armijo had fallen behind 15-0. The Royals drove from their 29-yard line to El Camino 1, the 12-play march kept alive by a 35-yard pass from Eddie Concepcion to Guy Fortson on third-and-9.

On fourth-and-goal, Fortson fumbled an exchange in the backfield from Concepcion and the ball was grabbed by El Camino’s JC Gill, who started to head toward the other end zone.

Gill didn’t get far before Armijo’s Ziair

McElvaine ripped the ball away from him and brought it back to the Eagles’ 5 before being tackled. One play later, David Singleton bulled his way into the end zone to put the Royals on the board.

Of recovering the fumbled fumble recovery and ensuing touchdown, Armijo coach Don Mosley said, “It shows you what we can do, shows that we’re not going to give up, shows you that when faced with adversity we will bounce back, we will show that we can handle it. We’ve just got to be able to do it for four quarters and not in flashes.”

A pass attempt for the conversion fell incomplete, keeping it 15-6.

And six is where Armijo stayed, able to mount one more threat before running out of time before the half.

Fortune likewise smiled early on the Eagles. Each team went three-and-out in their first series, but while El Camino was able to get off a 30-yard punt, Concepcion, the Armijo punter, fumbled a low See Armijo, Page A11

Defense solid as Vaca Christian rolls past Denair Daily Republic staff

SPORTS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Wesley Krier ran for 89 yards, Dominique Ruff rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown, and the defense “pitched a shutout” as the Vacaville Christian High football team overcame a slow start to open the season with a 24-6 road win over Denair, Friday.

After a scoreless first quarter, freshman quarterback Emmanuel Daughtry scored from 7 yards out on a zone read to put the Falcons up 6-0 in the second.

Vacaville Christian upped its lead to 8-0 in the third quarter when senior defensive end Hawkin West tackled a Denair ball carrier in the end zone for a safety.

The Coyotes cut into the lead later in the third quarter with stellar defensive play of their own by recovering a VCS fumble in the end zone for a touchdown that made it 8-6.

It was all Falcons from

that point however, as Ruff scored on a 7-yard run and Bryce Pazel added a 23-yard TD romp.

Armijo: Late TD gives JV 16-14 victory From Page A10 snap and was tackled for a 7-yard loss.

One play later, Gesyrus Scott ran untouched 19 yards up the middle for a touchdown. McGill ran in the 2-point conversion to make it 8-0.

The visitors scored in a more conventional fashion the next time they got the ball, marching 80 yards in eight plays with McGill catching a pass over the middle from Luke Coleman for a 13-yard touchdown. The first of Jackson Ponder’s three conversion kicks upped the lead to 15-0.

It took two possessions for the Eagles to respond to Armijo’s touchdown, but respond they did. A poor Armijo punt gave the visitors the ball at the

Royals 44 and six players later McGill ran it in from 4 yards out to make it 21-6 after a high snap led to a missed conversion attempt.

The Royals later got down to the El Camino 19 on a 39-yard pass from Kaiba Washington to Singleton, but there was enough time for one play before halftime and a low snap negated any shot at success.

Armijo got the ball to start the second half, but three plays in Scott made a leaping interception of a Concepcion pass, giving El Camino the ball at the Armijo 20. On the next play, Rashid Tanko burst up the middle, cut left and scampered into the end zone to make it 28-6.

El Camino wrapped

up the scoring on its next possession, going 60 yards in five plays with Scott, who finished with 107 yards, going the final 12 up the middle.

Tanko gave the Eagles a second 100-yard rusher by running for 106.

Singleton led Royals rushers by bulling his way to 88 yards on 13 carries, but Armijo’s other rushing attempts amounted to minus 3 yards. The Royals passed for 123 yards, 112 coming in the first half.

When asked what pleased him the most about his team’s effort, Mosley said, “Just hanging in there. We had some adversity, obviously. That happened early when they came out and hit us in the mouth.

We didn’t fall away from it, we continued to fight, continued to fight, but obviously, again, when it comes to being very disciplined and knowing what it means to handle your business on the field, we fell a little short in that area, but we will correct it.”

JV: Armijo 16, El Camino 14: Joe Perez Ahumada scored on a 2-yard run with 1:46 remaining and Ryan Lee added the 2-point conversion run to lift the Royals to the victory.

Lee had given the Royals an early 6-0 lead with a touchdown and Jayson Hubbard made a tackle in the end zone for a key second-half safety that tied the score at 8-8.

“They showed a lot of heart,” firstyear coach Henry Washington said.

“There are a lot of new guys. Once they started tackling and hitting people, they came alive and loved it.”

Local: WCW coach optimistic after loss TV: Listings From Page A10 first half,” Falcons coach Manny Tarango said.

“The scoreboard can be very deceiving. We got our stuff together in the second half and the defense pitched a shutout.”

The Falcons host Stone Ridge Christian of Merced, a 44-14 loser in its opener, on Friday.

PIONEER POUNDS WOOD 39-0 IN OPENER VACAVILLE — A 39-0 loss in your first game as head coach at your alma mater isn’t the way Jacob Wright drew it up as Wood High fell at Pioneer of Woodland, Friday night.

But Wright is in it for the long haul and found some things he liked from his Wildcats.

“The energy and effort was there on defense,” the coach said. “We’re down a couple players and the fact we finished the game is always a good thing. It’s something to build off of and there are things we can fix.”

Pioneer got solid efforts from several players as quarterback Ajay Lucero completed 6-of-10 passes for 168 yards and three TDs, running back Jack Carner rushed for

123 yards and two TDs, adding a 35-yard scoring toss, and Adam Lovato caught three passes for 128 yards and three TDs. “We gave up big plays,” Wright said, “but there are things we can do, things we can fix. The kids showed up (Saturday) for practice and film session, they’ve bought in. We’ve just got to get better in what we’re doing.”

Jarren Ford and Krishna Clay led Wood with eight tackles each, six solo for the former, five for the latter, while Armaan Nagara and Jacob Emerson each had seven, five solo for the former, three for the latter.

Wood is on the road again on Friday at Casa Roble of Orangevale, a 40-33 winner in its opener.

“Our defense had a really good day,” King said, highlighting Certeza’s performance.

Rodriguez drew a plethora of yellow flags throughout the game, racking up 14 penalties that totaled more than 160 yards. “(We’ve) got to clean

up some of the penalties,” King said. “I felt like we came out with good intensity.”

The Mustangs play at American Canyon on Friday.

JV: Rodriguez 12, Bear Creek 7: A 39-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown from Jayden Lewis Chandler proved to be the difference in the Mustangs’ win over the Bruins.

Zach Carvalho caught a 15-yard pass from Dylan Burke in the second quarter.

The win was the first for Jason Schwab as head coach of Rodriguez’s JV squad.

Giants: Edge A’s From Page A10 ing on him to be an anchor atop the rotation.

Instead of inspiring confidence in the Giants’ chances of playing deep into October, Gausman’s performances over the last month have led to concern over how the pitching staff will hold up down the stretch.

Fortunately for

Gausman and the Giants, the team’s bullpen has been one of the best in the majors for the last few months and the club received a huge contribution from left-hander Jarlín García, who tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings before Kapler put the game in the hands of his high-leverage arms, Dominic Leone, Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee.

Peña Adobe celebrates Fiesta Days with park open house Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

LAGOON VALLEY — The Folklorico Juvenil Danzantes Unidos de Vacaville will help the Peña Adobe Historical Society celebrate Fiesta Days at the Society’s open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 4 at Peña Adobe Park.

“They are really excited to get together and share their culture with the community,” said Sandra Trujillo, coordinator of the seven-year-old group.

Joining them will be Francisco Pulido, from Rancho El Zapotillo in Dixon, and his horse Pirate.

Pulido will demonstrate his roping and riding skills in a one-hour show for visitors and give rides on Pirate.

Folklorico Juvenil is comprised of middle school and high school students who will perform traditional dances from different regions of Mexico, Trujillo said. The group has performed not only across Solano County but all across California.

The event takes place in conjunction with the weeklong Vacaville Fiesta Days and is honoring National Hispanic Heritage Month.

churros to visitors.

The park is also home to the Mowers-Goheen Museum, with its artifacts from the area’s settlement, as well as the Willis Linn Jepson Memorial Garden and the Indian Council Ground. Volunteers will offer tours of the museum, the adobe and the grounds.

The Peña Adobe is one of the oldest structures in Solano County. It dates back to 1842, when the Juan Felipe Peña and Manuel Vaca families settled in Vacaville more than 175 years ago.

The Peña Adobe Regional Park is located in Lagoon Valley off of Interstate 80 at 4699 Peña Adobe Road.

Tomato & Vine Festival wraps up with Miracle Mule performance Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — This weekend’s Tomato & Vine Festival wraps up with some swampy-tonk, courtesy of the Miracle Mule.

The band has previously performed at the Fairfield Adult Recreation Center. This is their first gig at the festival.

“We love playing festivals,” said Geoff Mack. “It’s really fun for us.”

Mack noted the band would arrive before their performance and check out what the festival has to offer.

“I’m especially excited about the Bloody Mary contest,” he said.

The Mules got their start in October 2009 when a talented group of parents teamed up to play a show for their children’s school.

The group’s original female singer was known to break out in song and knew lyrics to almost every song, Mack said. He picked up a guitar and accompanied her.

“We didn’t have a plan in mind (about forming a band),” Mack said. “It was about locals having fun.”

That fun continues today.

It’s actually grown since the band’s inception.

Band members crack jokes, including in the middle of songs.

“It’s a really fun

show,” Mack said.

The moniker cane from the tune “Miracle Mule” by the Subdudes.

Mack would often strum on his father’s unused guitar that was laying around the house.

The pair enrolled in guitar lessons together. Eventually, “Dad let me take off on my own,” Mack said.

Miracle Mule does cover tunes as well as originals.

The band has two albums and a third awaiting release.

“I want to tour to support the album,” Mack said. “Play clubs and shows when it comes out.”

They will release the new music after Covid-19 isn’t a threat.

“We rely so much on audience feedback,” Mack said. A virtual release won’t offer that.

The Miracle Mule playlist includes everything from Chuck Barry’s “Memphis” to Merle Haggard’s “Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down.” The most requested song in the band’s early days was Hank Williams’ “Hey Good Lookin’.”

There was a time the audience demanded the title track for the original album, “Swampy Tonkin.”

Everyone wants to dance to the tune and knows the lyrics as well, Mack said.

When Mack and fellow bandmates were asked what kind of music they played, it would take four to five sentences to describe

Thus, it was shortened to swampy-tonk.

“A lot of people recognize it,” Mack said. “It sounds All-American.”

Mack said he wants to make it his mission for swampy tonkin’ to have a big comeback.

“Dear San Francisco: A High-Flying Love Story” is an intimate and immersive resident production from The 7 Fingers, a contemporary circus arts company.

Created by Bay Area natives and The 7 Fingers co-founders Shana Carroll and Gypsy Snider, “Dear San Francisco” will pay homage to the characters and resilience of the City by the Bay. “Dear San Francisco is the result of a lifelong love affair with the city that continues to reinvent, redefine and inspire awe,” Snider and Carroll said in a joint statement. “A theatrical love letter of sorts, our hope is that this production will create a shining and welcoming

In brief

Fee-free layaway helps budget for holiday TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Shoppers at Travis Air Force Base who are making their holiday lists will have a little extra help from the Army & Air Force Exchange Service in budgeting their gift spending.

The Exchange will waive the $3 service fee on select layaway items, including toys, bikes, computers, iPads and tablets, starting Sept. 1.

“The Exchange’s feefree layaway is a great tool to manage gift-buying for family and friends,” Travis Exchange General Manager Phonda Bishop said in a press release.

“As a bonus, it also keeps presents out of sight until the big day.”

The $3 service fee is waived for select items of $25 or more. The standard deposit of 15% of the item’s price is still required to put the product on layaway.

Toys and bikes must be picked up within 60 days or by Dec. 24, whichever comes first. Computers, laptops, iPads, notebooks and tablets must be picked up within 30 days or

by Dec. 15.

Some exclusions apply, so see customer service at the Travis Exchange for more details.

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Secretary of the Air Force made a brief stop Monday at Travis Air Force Base to have his aircraft refueled and took time to meet with base leadership.

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

No. 3 official for four years during the Obama administration.

Kendall, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, served 10 years on active duty in the Army, a tenure that also included a stint teaching engineering at West Point. He spent time in the Pentagon as director of the tactical warfare program before moving to become assistant deputy undersecretary for Strategic Defense Systems.

He also worked in the private sector in defense-related jobs, most notably as Raytheon’s vice president of engineering during the mid-1990s.

Col. Corey A. Simmons, commander of the 60th Air Mobility Wing, met with Kendall to brief him on base operations.

11th-grader wins $2,000 gift card from Travis Exchange for academic performance Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Summer break has gotten even better for rising high school junior Mateo Rojas: He was named the grand-prize winner in the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s You Made the Grade program.

The program rewards military students like Mateo for maintaining strong academic performance. Rojas was selected as the top winner in a worldwide drawing and received a $2,000 Exchange gift card.

Rojas was at work as a lifeguard when his older brother, who works with him, told him to check his phone for an email from their mom with the good news.

“I was shocked,” Rojas, who attended Castro Valley High School in the Bay Area before the family relocated to San Diego this summer, said in a

Rojas’ father, Capt. Rodrigo Rojas, is retiring after serving 26 years in the Coast Guard.

“The Exchange is pleased to honor the hard work and resiliency of military children like Mateo,” Travis Air Force Base Exchange General Manager

Phonda Bishop said in the press release. “He’s a great example to his peers of how dedication pays off.”

Rojas has always wanted to build his own computer and will use his prize to buy the parts he needs, according to the press release. His favorite subjects in school include math and history, and he is interested in a career in engineering or piloting, a passion that has grown through his participation in the Civil Air Patrol.

“In military life, you move around so much, and you have to get acclimated each time,” Rojas’ mom, Marisol Rojas, said in the press release. “Mateo and his brothers, through their whole lives, have been go-getters. Through Covid, they’ve kept up their grades. Mateo winning has been very exciting for the whole family.”

Commissary invites shoppers to take part in survey Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Military customers worldwide will have the opportunity to evaluate their stores through the annual Commissary Customer Service Survey starting Monday.

The Defense Commissary Agency survey will be available for 10 consecutive shopping days ending on or before Sept. 8, depending on the commissary’s operating schedule. Customers will be able to take

the survey at the commissary entrance area before they shop.

“This (survey) allows us to benchmark commissary performance during a fixed period of time,” said James Taylor, chief of DeCA’s store operations division, in a press release. “We’re committed to delivering a premier customer experience in every store, and this survey platform continues to be a powerful tool to help us do that.”

Customers will be asked at random to participate in the survey,

which evaluates areas such as customer service, pricing, savings, product availability and selection, cleanliness, store layout, and produce, meat, grocery deli and bakery quality.

After agreeing to participate, customers will be presented with three options: n Scan a QR code and take the survey on their own mobile device. n Have the store employee ask the questions and enter responses in the store’s iPad. n Personally com-

plete the survey on the store’s iPad. Commissary associates will use disinfectant wipes to sanitize the iPad between uses, and provide gloves to each customer electing to use the store device.

The precautions are part of the safety measures used during the 2020 survey cycle to help prevent Covid-19 exposure.

“Care will be given to continuing social distancing measures,” Taylor said in the press release. “We are working with our associates at each location to

ensure the proper safety protocols are in place.”

More than 20,000 shoppers last year rated the commissaries an overall 4.46. The score is based on a five-point scale, ranging from 1, “Poor,” to 5, “Excellent.” Customers gave commissaries high marks for helpful and courteous employees, store cleanliness and layout, and convenient hours.

In addition to the annual survey, DeCA also employs ForeSee, a survey platform that gives commissaries a real-time

snapshot of patron feedback throughout the year, accessible at the link provided on the bottom of every purchase receipt.

“These surveys give our customers opportunities to determine how effective we are in delivering their commissary benefit,” Brian Myrick, management and program analyst, said in the press release. “We use the data from their responses to help improve their shopping experience. In effect you can say they’re helping themselves by participating.”

Induction into the elite group of Tuskegee Airmen Inc. as an honorary member is a direct reflection of an individual’s dedication to preserving the heritage and legacy of the “Red Tails” as well as introducing youth to aviation and science, technology, engineering and math opportunities.

Mateo Rojas credits his parents for his success.

“I want to thank the Exchange for this prize and also my father and mother for always working hard,” he said in the press release. “I want to thank my dad for his service, which has always brought me great opportunities like this one.”

Officials note addition of new businesses SUISUN CITY — City Manager Greg Folsom took time at a recent City Council meeting to update the community on some news businesses that have opened their doors.

The city has seen three grand openings of late, including the Holiday Inn Express at 355 Civic Center Blvd.; Stiiizy, the city’s cannabis operation, at 521 Railroad Ave.; and Beyond Tea in the Marina Center shopping center at 305 Marina Center.

Stiiizy, Folsom said, has “vastly” exceeded its sales projection and is so popular the city is working with them to acquire more parking spots.

Mayor Lori Wilson shared information about the soft opening of a Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins shop in the Heritage Park Shopping Center at 282 Sunset Ave. Loan Depot is slated to open in early September at One Harbor Center.

Political tools are important and not readily surrendered.

This year the International Monetary Fund is working on its mandated five-year review of the composition and valuation of the SDR basket. If this exercise increases the share allocated to China’s renminbi, that will be a sign that the world’s currency system is evolving. Just as China’s growing share of the global economy implies the need for a fundamental rebalancing, the renminbi’s share of the SDR basket cannot continue to grow without that increase meaning something for the future of the world financial system.

China appears increasingly aggressive and competitive with the U.S. Will China and other countries use the latest events in Afghanistan to improve their position to the detriment of the U.S.? Watch carefully.

tant to expand the renminbi’s role in financial markets, both internally and internationally.

Instead, China seems to prefer a system using the special drawing rights, the International Monetary Fund’s reserve asset, whose value is based on a basket of five currencies (the U.S. dollar, euro, renminbi, yen and the British pound).

Some find this approach appealing because it would have more global “fairness.” Practical implementation would be difficult. Basic requirements would include China allowing more free use of the renminbi; and the U.S. accepting the SDRbased monetary system. Neither of these changes are likely to happen at any time soon.

The third reason for maintaining the current system may hold the largest importance, and that is influence. The dominance of the U.S. dollar has conferred benefits which many U.S. presidents have enjoyed.

A dominant dollar is a powerful tool for pursuing diplomatic and national security objectives.

The use of sanctions against countries that did business with Iran is a recent example. If current or future U.S. leaders use the dollar’s dominance similarly, perhaps against countries

First, most countries did not choose to have their currencies float freely against the dollar.

Even though more countries have floated their currencies in recent decades, others have maintained fixed exchange rates, devised their own regional exchange-rate relationships or launched a common currency, like the euro.

Second, among the few countries with enough economic clout to influence the global monetary system, Russia has often objected but simply lacks any meaningful economic clout.

Japan, Germany and now China have made a conscious decision to keep their currency from assuming a larger global role.

Note that Germany has consistently opposed the idea of pan-European bonds. Without a common budget, the euro will always be held back from competing with the dollar or playing a much bigger role in the world financial system.

Japan has never had any interest in a global role for the yen, even when its economy boomed, and many pundits predicted it would catch up to the U.S. China also has often objected to the current global monetary system but has been reluc-

Will the This was not just about Afghanistan Legislature confront state housing crisis?

By Ruth Pollard

Bloomberg Opinion (TNS)

T

alifornia had a huge and growing housing problem before Covid-19 reared its ugly head 18 months ago, falling well short each year of state construction goals.

The pandemic, which continues to flare up, “exacerbated a long-standing housing shortage, intensified a statewide affordability crisis and provoked housing instability,” the new state budget declares.

While suddenly unemployed workers struggled, and often failed, to make their monthly payments, the prices for homes soared, freezing out many who aspired to ownership.

The budget projects that California will add, at best, about 100,000 housing units this year, which is scarcely half of the Dan Walters 180,000 units state housing authorities say are needed to meet current demand and reduce the backlog.

And that projection did not take into account the current Covid-19 surge.

The Legislature has reconvened after its summer vacation and is sprinting toward adjournment in mid-September. Housing is, or should be, at the top of its agenda.

While many factors affect the housing shortage, the most important is the reluctance of suburban communities to embrace multifamily housing projects, particularly those for low- and moderate-income renters.

Dubbed “not-in-my-backyard,” or NIMBY, it is by no means a recent phenomenon. One could trace it back to the anti-Asian exclusion laws of the 19th century, and 20th century anti-okie laws and whites- and Christians-only deed covenants.

As California’s population exploded after World War II, some rural communities attempted to avoid becoming commuter suburbs. When Petaluma adopted a strict growth control law in the early 1970s, developers sued and the case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which allowed Petaluma’s law to remain in effect.

The state has made multiple attempts to overcome NIMBYism, such as imposing residential zoning quotas on regions and cities. Recent versions contain some penalties for cities that ignore their quotas and the state sued one city, Huntington Beach, for ignoring its quota.

One of the state’s many anti-NIMBY actions is the Housing Accountability Act, first enacted in 1982 and later tightened up. It essentially bars local governments from arbitrarily blocking housing projects that are “consistent with objective local development standards.”

Citing the law, pro-housing organizations have been challenging local governments when they reject low- and moderate-income projects and two cases are looming as tests of the law’s efficacy.

One is in Huntington Beach, which rejected a 48-unit project. The California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund (CaRLA) sued but a local judge ruled for the city, declaring that it had valid reasons, such as increased traffic, to deny a permit for the project.

CaRLA is also suing San Mateo, which imposed stringent design requirements on a 10-unit project that its developers said were onerous. Once again, a local judge ruled for the city and even questioned whether the Housing Accountability Act can be constitutionally applied to a charter city under the home rule doctrine.

Both cases are headed up the legal appeals chain and state Attorney General Rob Bonta is intervening in the San Mateo case to defend the law’s application.

That brings us back to the final weeks of the legislative session and two highly controversial anti-NIMBY measures. Senate Bill 9 is the latest effort by Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins to allow small multifamily projects on lots zoned for single-family homes, while Senate Bill 10 would allow local governments to approve up to 10 units of housing on any lot, regardless of current zoning, near transit.

Whether they pass or fail will tell us much about the direction of housing policy as California’s crisis continues.

he spillover began before the Taliban had even reached Kabul. City after city quickly fell, and now the Islamist insurgents have entered and taken control of the capital. It will only get worse as the conflict expands beyond Afghanistan’s borders.

Jihadist groups based in the country, some with transnational agendas like al-Qaida, now have a template for defeating governments backed by major powers and have been emboldened by the Taliban’s lightning-fast advance. This is happening as the jihadi ecosystem is experiencing the lowest counterterrorism pressure in the past two decades, effectively getting free rein.

Asfandyar Mir, South Asia security analyst for the U.S. Institute for Peace, says it’s a dangerous combination when threats go up at the same time efforts to combat them go down.

“Central Asian jihadists have been flexing their muscle, anti-China jihadists have attacked Chinese personal in Pakistan, more regional violence is extremely plausible – the threat is ongoing, and we are just talking about an escalation from this point onwards,” Mir said.

The collapse of the Afghan republic following the U.S. departure would have regional significance like the post-9/11 invasion, or the withdrawal of Soviet troops and fall of the communist regime they’d backed. “This is a seismic shift that will change politics in this part of the world in ways” hard to foresee, Mir said.

Expect the immediate danger to be regional – in South and Central Asia – as geography and capability limit the initial damage. Chinese interests in Pakistan have already taken a hit. In April, a car bomb exploded at a luxury hotel hosting Beijing’s ambassador in Quetta, not far from Taliban strongholds in southern Afghanistan. The attack was claimed by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, or the Pakistani Taliban, a loosely organized terrorist group with ties to al-Qaida, based along the vast Afghan-Pakistan border.

Last month, a bomb blast on a bus traveling to a dam and hydroelectric project in Dasu, near the Pakistan border with China, killed 12 people, including nine Chinese citizens. No one has claimed responsibility, but Beijing was so concerned that it hosted Taliban representatives

for a meeting with Foreign Minister Wang Yi. At stake is $60 billion in projects in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a crucial part of President Xi Jinping’s wider Belt and Road Initiative, along with significant Chinese mining interests inside Afghanistan.

While this wasn’t the Taliban’s first visit to China, the seniority of the Chinese representatives was unprecedented, as was the very public message that Beijing recognizes the group as a legitimate political force, Yun Sun, the Stimson Center think tank’s China program director, noted in a recent essay on the national security platform, War on the Rocks.

After posing for photographs with the group’s co-founder and deputy leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Wang described the Taliban as “a crucial military and political force in Afghanistan that is expected to play an important role in the peace, reconciliation and reconstruction process of the country.”

What Beijing wants in return is for the Taliban to live up to a commitment to sever all ties with terrorist organizations, including the TTP and the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (an outfit Beijing blames for unrest in its Xinjiang region that Washington removed from its list of terror groups in October after finding there was no credible evidence it continues to exist.)

Any further attacks on Chinese nationals working in South Asia, whether claimed by the Taliban or others operating with its blessing, will no doubt affect future ties, though it’s unclear what China would do in retaliation.

With no major political or diplomatic push to blunt the Taliban’s advance or rein in the groups operating in its shadow, including al-Qaida – much diminished 20 years after the U.S. invaded Afghanistan to destroy them and their Taliban hosts – it’s a matter of when, not if, there’s an upsurge in terror attacks.

The danger is particularly acute for the six countries bordering Afghanistan. Beyond China, they include Iran and Pakistan – as well as nearby India, which will be closely watching its only Muslim-majority province of Kashmir, the object in two of its wars with Pakistan, for resurgent violence. Russia will be concerned about the impact on Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan and any terrorist blowback onto

its territory.

There’s the possibility that the major powers – the U.S., Russia and China – might step in and convince their allies and friends to end hostilities. But analysts think that’s unlikely.

The situation has festered since the U.S. and the Taliban reached their agreement in February last year, and will continue to do so.

Extended international inertia is more probable. Look at Syria. After a decade of war and some significant U.S. investment in money, military involvement and political capital, Bashar Assad is still president. The country has the world’s largest population of internally displaced people (6.7 million), while 6.6 million refugees subsist mostly in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. The threat posed by terror groups operating in and around Syria, as well as the use and proliferation of chemical weapons, remains a real concern. So does the conflict’s tendency to be a flashpoint for external players like Russia, Turkey, Israel and Iran.

For Afghanistan, the next worry would be that foreign fighters again start pouring in from around the world. Insurgents from other nations are there now, but mostly from neighboring countries. Once they come from further afield, it increases the probability of attacks spreading much more widely.

Husain Haqqani, Pakistan’s former ambassador to Washington and now director for South and Central Asia at the Hudson Institute, says the Taliban remain connected to al-Qaida and other international terror groups by ideology, shared finances and training, and even marriage. “Given that jihadists do not think much of international borders and consider the current global order un-Islamic, it is only a matter of time before they set their sights on Europe and the U.S. again,” he said.

It’s hard to see how this ends well.

Unless major powers do more than hold their collective breath and hope for the best, the fallout from their indifference will be felt well beyond Afghanistan’s borders.

ballot. Now I read the law may also be unconstitutional because it is unfair and makes votes, and voters, unequal.

Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California, Berkeley Law School, wrote a recent op-ed arguing just that. A lawsuit is underway. The solution is to put the subject of the recall – in this case, Gov. Gavin Newsom – on the replacement ballot.

Oops! Too late for that! The ballots are already printed and sent out. I even voted already.

Here’s what I recommend Newsom supporters do, as I did: Vote “No” on the recall, then write in “Gavin Newsom” on the replacement ballot.

We can let the courts sort it out if Newsom wins reinstatement.

Mission accomplished Glad that President Joe Biden is in the process of removing all American troops from Afghanistan.

The American presence in that country has exceeded 20 years and is no more. Our longest war is soon to be over. The United States should never be a world monitor.

As President John F. Kennedy said of South Vietnam: “In the final analysis it is their war. They must be able to win or lose it.” The same can be said of the American presence in Afghanistan.

As President George W. Bush said in 2004: “Mission accomplished.”

There is no more. Amen.

Suisun still needs improvements Well, folks, whenever walking our waterfront, I have to wonder, how much of both of our two hotels sitting there are actually being utilized?

Probably not all that much.

Why? Because what is there to really see, besides a lot of trash floating in the water, never-ending trash, probably being blown in from the always-overflowing trash cans.

Now, don’t get me wrong: There has been a vast improvement from our waterfront, from when we first moved here in 1976, but if the Planning Department and those in charge want to see how it should be done, take a day trip over to Benicia and see how that is the way to attract tourist money. The place is packed even on weekdays, making it a chore to find parking near where may want to go, have a meal, etc.

It is not too late; it can yet be done.

Well, maybe not quite as nice as Benicia has done, but much better than our now-languishing waterfront.

Replace Newsom with Newsom I’ve for some time felt the California recall law is unfair. If an office-holder is recalled by one group of voters, shouldn’t another group be able to reinstate him? But his name doesn’t appear in the replacement
