FAIRFIELD-SUISUN

Enrollment shifts make for rough 1st week of school Number of students overall down more than 400; Virtual Academy doubles projections Susan Hiland

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The first week of school was not without its challenges, Fairfield-Suisun School District Superintendent Kris Corey says.

Corey, in her report to the school board Thursday, noted that the projected number of students enrolled COREY was off by 443.

“We have been calling parents and reaching out to students to see where they are,” Corey said.

This has contributed to the district defined dropout rate being much higher than expected.

“If they dropped out, then we need to find out where to send the records,” Corey said.

By way of Suisun comparison,

Elementary School serves approximately 550 children; Crescent Elementary, 625; K.I. Jones Elementary, 735; Anna Kyle Elementary, 750; and Nelda Mundy E l e m e n t a r y, appr ox i m ately 770.

District officials were also cought by surprise when the Virtual Academy of FairfieldSuisun, which was thought to have enrolling 400 students, instead had 761 enrollees.

“We are slated for an additional 72 students this week,” Corey said.

The result of so many students enrolled in the Virtual Academy is that the enrollment for the in-person classroom is quite high. It also means

SUISUN CITY — The Suisun Slough waters are dark and murky, and even in bright sunlight it is evident visibility past a certain point is bad.

There’s a special name for water like that – black water – and it is well-earned.

“Once you get down a few feet it’s pitch black,” said Suisun Fire

Chief Justin Vincent. “If, say, a child were to fall in the water off the docks, it would be difficult for a bystander to just jump in and grab them because of the low visibility.”

With that thought in mind, the newly formed Suisun City Fire Department Rescue Dive Team has been practicing all year learning how to dive in various water conditions for just such occasions.

Several of the six divers stood on land getting ready for training

Saturday, and began demonstrating how bad it is underwater by standing less than an inch from each other’s faces pointing out that they can’t see them if they were that close underwater.

It is a sobering thought.

Battle of the Badges softball game a chance for fun, fundraising after year of pandemic Susan Hiland

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The inaugural edition of the Fairfield Police Officers’ Association’s Solano County Battle of the Badges softball tournament brought out police and fire personnel from across the county for a day of

play Saturday.

Organizer James Lewis, a Fairfield police officer, said he was hoping that it would be a day of relaxing fun.

“It has been over a year we have all been tied down with work in a pandemic that is really stressful,” he said.

“I wanted to do something

that brought the fun back into our lives.”

So Lewis came up with a multiple-officer softball game idea.

“Everybody was invited,” he said. “I thought it would make a great fundraiser for the Fairfield Police Activities League.”

He said he hoped that PAL would be able to be introduced to more people so they could see what the organization does.

Lewis asked each fire and police department from Fairfield, Vallejo, Benicia and the Solano County sheriff’s See Battle, Page A9

Officials extend air pollution warning due to high heat, drift smoke from wildfires Daily Republic Staff

Air quality is expected to generally improve Sunday due to increased onshore northwesterly winds.

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Bay Area air quality officials have extended an air pollution warning through Sunday due to high temperatures and wildfire smoke that’s moving across the region and making its way to ground level.

The burning of wood, manufactured fire logs or any other solid fuel, both indoors and outdoors, is prohibited.

Air quality is expected to generally improve Sunday due to increased onshore northwesterly winds, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District reports. lingering However, smoke offshore along with smoke already trapped near the surface is expected to cause isolated unhealthy conditions for people in sensitive groups in the North and East Bay areas, the district reports.

Good to moderate air quality is predicted for other parts of the Bay Area.

The ground-level air quality is forecast to be unhealthy for sensitive groups on the Air Quality Index in most of the Bay Area with pockets of unhealthy air quality at higher altitudes, the air district reports.

It is illegal for Bay Area residents and businesses to use their fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, outdoor fire pits or any other woodburning devices during an air pollution warning for microscopic particulate pollution such as smoke.

The air district had put an air pollution advisory in place Thursday, covering both Friday and Saturday. That advisory was upgraded Friday for both Friday and Saturday, then extended Saturday to include Sunday.

An air quality advisory is a step below an air pollution warning – called a Spare the Air alert – that triggers bans on most indoor burning (fireplaces, wood-burning and pellet stoves) and outdoor burning (fire pits and similar options), as well as recommendations for people most vulnerable to breathing polluted air to seek shelter indoors.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management includes all or parts of the nine Bay Area counties, including western Solano County around Fairfield and Suisun City west to the Vallejo-Benicia area. The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District includes the area around Vacaville and Dixon, east into Winters and Yolo County.

Air pollution levels turned unhealthy Friday and remained so Saturday across parts of the Yolo-Solano district – to include the area in and around Vacaville and Dixon. Air pollution levels are extected to improve Sunday to the mod-

erate level.

The Caldor Fire that’s burning in the Sierra Nevada in El Dorado County continues to send smoke into the air that is expected to drift west across the Sacramento region and push into the Yolo-Solano area.

Districts that monitor air quality classify pollution levels on a sliding scale that ranges from good, to moderate, to unhealthy for sensitive groups, to unhealthy, to very unhealthy, to hazardous.

Air quality in communities near the Caldor Fire has at times jumped into the hazardous range.

Smoke can irritate the eyes and airways, causing coughing, a scratchy throat and irritated sinuses. Elevated smallparticle pollution in the air at ground level – such as soot and smoke – can trigger wheezing in people who have asthma, emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, known more commonly as COPD. Air pollution district officials report that elderly people, children and those with respiratory illnesses “are particularly susceptible to elevated air pollution levels and should take extra precautions to avoid exposure.”

For real-time air quality readings for the Bay Area, go to http:// baaqmd.gov/highs. For air quality information in the Yolo-Solano district, to include information about the Sacramento region and up into the Sierra Nevada, go to http://www. sparetheair.com/.

n Have limited communications with outsiders. n Have limited food and resources.

Forget that “qualification” stuff. You’re qualified for this! So am I! This job sounds like the past 18 months.

Sure, they want people to do scientific experiments to simulate what will happen on Mars, but didn’t we show that we were qualified when we were creating handmade masks and finding replacements for toilet paper? Will NASA acknowledge our experience from when we were having to figure out how to keep our kids learning while not going crazy? Do we get credit for our Covid gardens or our “creative projects” we started during the lockdowns?

NASA is still our best and brightest. NASA sent 24 men to the moon and returned them

safely. NASA dreams big.

Mars is worth exploring and I’m on board with having people simulate living on Mars in isolation with very little communication with their friends and family.

We could do this! However, I’m not very interested in doing it and I suspect most of us aren’t.

For one thing, most of us don’t qualify under NASA’s exacting standards.

But the main reason we’re not interested is that spending a year in isolation, trying to navigate a dangerous new world where things are difficult, unprecedented and potentially lethal doesn’t sound like fun.

It sounds like 2020.

Board hears reports on programs that aim to support children, teens Susan Hiland

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Trustees of the FairfieldSuisun School District heard about a new grant program Thursday that’s geared toward keeping children in school.

Antoinette Miller, coordinator of the Multi-Tiered System of Supports on Learning Communities for the School Success Program Grant, presented the information to the board.

The grant was established for the purpose of implementing the K-12 education portion of the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act of 2014.

The goals of the

The school district plans to focus on creating ‘a welcoming environment’ where students feel ‘safe and eager’ to attend school. program are to support evidence-based, nonpunitive programs and practices to keep the state’s most vulnerable children in school, Miller reports. These programs and practices must complement and enhance the actions and services identified to meet the school district’s Local Control and Accountabil-

ity Plan goals.

The district submitted an application during the 2019-20 school year and was awarded a $2 million grant to support the expansion of Check-andConnect, as well as for implementation of the Healing Centered Engagement program.

All grants awarded during the 2019-20 cycle were reduced by 20% due to reduced funding at the state level, Miller reports. Once approved to spend the money, staff has worked to implement the elements of the plan.

Organizers cancel Fiesta Day 2021, cite safety concerns Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — The Fiesta Days committee canceled the 2021 event that was to get underway Thursday and end Labor Day, citing rising concerns over the current Covid-19 surge.

The decision was made to keep the people safe, said Ralph Berumen, vice chairman of Fiesta Days.

The website message noted the event will resume during the original dates of May 26-30, 2022.

The 2020 Fiesta Days event was canceled due to the pandemic. The committee opted to try the Labor Day weekend in 2021 with plans for live music, a carnival and a parade.

Some of the 2021 Fiesta Days events have already taken place, such as the diaper derby

and dinner for grand marshals, Kevin and Georgia Moreno.

The celebration was created in 1957 as Western Fiesta Days, similar to a cowboy roundup and rodeo. It has evolved over the years while remaining a Vacaville staple for more than 60 years.

The news was disappointing for many, including Mary Cornelison Muehlenbruch, who has organized the event’s annual melodrama for several years.

She had to break the news to cast members at a rehearsal Thursday night.

Muehlenbruch noted in a social media post the Gaslighters Theatrical Group felt it necessary for the health and safety of patrons to follow suit with the Fiesta Days committee.

FAIRFIELD — As many as 250 of the 471 new coronavirus cases reported Friday for Solano County are at least a week old.

The late state reporting is a concern for the Public Health Division but does not change the fact that the county continues to be in the grip of the latest surge.

The daily average over the past 10 days is up to 110, Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview Friday.

The county reported that 38 of the 73 intensive care unit beds in use, as of Friday, are occupied by Covid patients.

Several are not expected to survive, Matyas said.

There are 148 residents who are hospitalized with the disease, up from Wednesday’s total of 147.

There were 35 residents in the ICUs Wednesday with Covid.

No new Covid-related deaths were reported Friday, keeping the total for now at 266.

The total number of cases is up to 39,800, the county reported.

Vacaville had the

most new cases reported at 136, taking the city’s total to 10,385.

Vallejo added 135 cases since Wednesday, bringing the count to 11,728. At 10,790, Fairfield had matyas 107 new reports, the county said.

Suisun City (2,815) added 39 cases; Dixon (2,223) added 29; Benicia (1,240) added 16; Rio Vista (496) added eight; and the one new report in the unincorporated area of the county took that total to 130, the county reported.

The number of

active cases increased from 904 Wednesday to 1,089 Friday, but the seven-day positivity testing rate was down from 17.4% to 15.2%, the county reported.

The vaccination rates did not change, with 74% of those residents who are 12 or older who have received at least one shot, and 61% who are fully vaccinated, the county reported.

Solano County does not post case updates on weekends. The next update is scheduled late Monday afternoon.

Public Health: School coronavirus cases in Solano start at home, parties Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Every school district in Solano County is dealing with coronavirus cases among its students and staff members, but the origins of transmission typically are not the school campuses.

Dr. Bela Matyas, the public health officer for the county, said tracking evidence shows that transmissions are extensively taking place at home or at social gatherings – including student parties.

“But the only thing that is required of us is to receive reports from schools when they have

clusters and we help them with that,” Matyas said.

Public Health is investigating four possible Covid-related clusters at

schools, but declined to say what schools until the virus is confirmed.

Moreover, unlike last year when schools were shut down, vaccines and other protocols have allowed schools to stay open this fall. Matyas said there are several essential reasons.

The first is the state’s directive on the matter, but also parents have become quite aware that in-class instruction is essential.

“Parents experienced the education environment the students were put through and it was really suboptimal,” Matyas said. “So it was See School, Page A5

Board From Page A2 where students feel “safe and eager” to attend school by reducing chronic absenteeism, improving student attendance and decreasing student suspensions through C he ck- a nd- C on ne c t , according to a staff report.

Part of this program is an intervention used with K-12 students who show warning signs of disengagement with school and who are at risk of dropping out.

To achieve this goal, the district has hired six staff members to work with students, according to the staff report. So far, 79 students were supported during the second half of the 2020-21 school year.

The students showed improved attendance and the school was able to connect families with needed resources, the district reports.

Staff is also working on a program called Healing Centered Engagement, which helps students work through trauma by looking at what is right for them individually.

“This is not a curriculum, rather it is a way to support who we are and who our students are,” Miller said.

Twenty-five staff members earned certification for this program.

The school district is currently recruiting for Cohort II and Cohort III. The board also heard a report on the Back-toSchool Resource Fair at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. Organizers gave away 1,020 backpacks, 120 students received vision tests and 56 got their Covid-19 vaccinations.

Laura Bowles, interim student assistant director, reported that for the past 20 years the school district has been able to put on a this resource fair because of donations and volunteers from the community.

“We had over 2,000 people greeted at the fair,” she said.

The backpacks that were left over were given out to students in the community after the event. The Host Lions did vision tests, which helped 11 students.

The event highlighted four departments in the school district: Engage Newsletter and Attendance Support, Healing Engagement, Center Mary Bird Preschool and the school distict’s libraries.

More than 20 community partners helped with donations of supplies, food and monetary donations, the district reports.

Trustee David Isom said the event may shift next year from St. Mark’s Lutheran Church to school campus.

Planning Commission to review proposal for Elmira brewpub Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The onetime site of The Cabin saloon in Elmira could be reborn into a brewpub and taproom if the Solano County Planning Commission recommends a rezoning petition.

Jeremy Mason, with the Diversity Beer Company, has petitioned the county to rezone two parcels totaling 0.48 acres from Residential Traditional Community to Residential Traditional Community Mixed Use. “It was always a wild

School From Page A3 (clear) they needed to be back in school to get the education they need.”

The county also is moving to issue its own guidelines Monday for school athletics and other extracurricular activities because the state has not provided the guidelines as promised. Whether the individuals are symptomatic or whether individuals have been vaccinated changes how the districts are required to respond, and whether those individuals must be isolated.

Mask policies also can vary depending on work and learning station protections.

The Fairfield-Suisun School District on Friday reported 49 positive student tests dating back to the start of classes Aug. 18, and 12 staff positives.

School district families and staff are asked to use a self-screener prior to coming to school each day, a written statement provided by the district states. If a student or staff member is exhibiting any combination of symptoms found on the self-screener, they are not to come to a school campus.

“As a result of our (school district) community’s diligence to self-screen and stay home if exhibiting symptoms, as of Aug. 18, 2021, there have been zero students or staff that tested positive for Covid resulting from persons who are epidemiologically linked through transmission at the school site,” according to the written statement.

Families, in addition to the self-screener and staying home, may have students or individuals who live in their household who have tested positive for Covid, the statement said. Any time there is someone who tests positive for Covid within the household, there is a quarantine period that would keep a student or staff member home from school for a period of time.

“It is (school district) protocol to initiate contact tracing at the school site if a staff member or student tests positive,” according to the statement.

The Vacaville School District, as of 9 p.m. Thursday, reported 26 positive tests out of 1,039 administered tests, a 2.5% positivity rate. Twenty of those positive tests were at Will C. Wood High School; 19 were students.

There are no confirmed cases currently, the district reported.

The Travis School District started collecting data a week prior to the Aug. 11 start of classes, and to date, 52 students across nine campuses and two staff members have tested positive. How many actual tests have been administered was not immediately known. There are approximately 5,265 students in

spot,” Bill Dinsmore, owner of Bill’s Paint Shop in Vacaville, said of The Cabin. He is a former Elmira resident who adds that he has been “clean and sober” for 27 years, but used to frequent the bar “back in the day.”

He said the state shut the saloon down about seven years ago, and the owner chose not to reopen.

“Bikers used to frequent it, and other interested parties,” Dinsmore says with a laugh.

But he also remembers the owner being robbed at gunpoint, and a hip-hop

night going bad.

“It just didn’t belong there,” Dinsmore said of the event.

The commission will consider recommending the rezone to the Board of Supervisors. It would later require a minor use permit to operate the business.

“The rezone would allow the existing residential structure to be used as an office and with approval of a minor use permit would allow the applicant to operate the brewpub as a neighborhood commercial use,” the

the district.

The Benicia School District has had 20 confirmed cases as of Friday morning, according to its online report, half at Robert Semple Elementary School and six at Mary Farmar Elementary.

The cases represent less than 1% of the 4,404 students at the district’s schools.

An off-campus source sent information concerning Dixon School District, which shows as of the Aug. 20 weekly update there have been 19 confirmed cases, 14 of which were students and eight at Dixon High.

There was no response to a call seeking comment from Vallejo City School District, and testing information could not be found on the district website.

However, Covid-19 information was posted.

The state issued a directive in early August that requires all school staff to be vaccinated by Oct. 15. Those who opt-out of that are then required to be tested weekly.

Jared Austin, the founder and executive director at the Kairos charter school in Vacaville, said his district will comply with the state mandate, but he said he thinks the state is going down a “slippery slope” with regard to individual rights.

Austin said current legislation that would extend vaccination mandates in the state is a good example of where mandate policies are headed, dangerously so in his opinion.

Matyas noted the same legislation, the most sweeping of which would require vaccinations for all government employees, individuals who go into public places, including grocery stores, and a mandate that all employers require vaccinations.

A second bill only applies to government employees.

“Kairos Public Schools adamantly defends our staff’s freedom of medical choice and their ‘right to choose’ whether to be vaccinated or not. We respect that everyone has their own thoughts and opinions on the Covid-19 vaccine and must educate themselves on the best options,” Austin wrote in a letter

to the Daily Republic.

“Kairos Public Schools continues to advocate that our staff continue to have the right to choose between the vaccine and another option.”

The charter school, with 500 on-campus students and 135 independent study students, have tested more than 400 individuals this school year.

That includes students, staff and members of staff households for tracking purposes.

There are five current positive cases and 15 being tracked, Austin said Friday.

Last year, the district, being one of the few to open during the pandemic, found 11 positive results out of well over 400 tests.

Fiesta From Page A3 “We hope to resurrect ‘Suzy, the Suffering Suffragette,’ in the future,” she wrote in the social media post. “We will keep you informed of the new date and other future performances. We hope to see you at ‘the show’ in the future.”

“So sad, but the right decision,” Chad Oakes posted on the Vacaville Fiesta Days Facebook page.

Joey Ramos wondered why events such

as the Creekwalk, the farmers market, downtown strolls and antique markets were allowed, but not Fiesta Days.

“I guess Covid only hangs out at Fiesta Days,” he wrote. “I sure hope that the next Fiesta Days Vacaville has will be the biggest, baddest party that Vacaville has ever had . . . .”

Vacaville has the lowest vaccination rate in the county among people who are 12 or older and therefore eligible for immunization against the novel coronavirus, Solano Public Health reports.

’Dogs hang on for first win over Oak Ridge, 17-10 Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Finally.

After losing its first eight games with Oak Ridge High of El Dorado Hills, Vacaville used two Darian Leon-Guerrero touchdowns and a solid defense to hold on for an emotional 17-10 victory Friday at Zunino Stadium.

The Bulldogs (2-0) entered the game ranked 12th in Northern California and fourth in the Sac-Joaquin Section

by maxpreps.com, the Trojans (1-1) 13th and fifth, respectively.

The teams have played every non-pandemic season since 2012, Oak Ridge winning sometimes big – 43-14 in 2015, 41-15 in 2016 and 42-0 in 2018 – and sometimessmall–24-21in2012, 24-23 in 2014 and 24-23 in 2017 – but always winning.

Until Friday.

“This is a really big win for our program and the history of our program,” Bulldogs coach Mike Papadopoulos said. “It’s a

great start to our season.

Obviously, we have a ton of things to clean up.”

Leon-Guerrero, who ran for 178 yards on 23 carries, opened the scoring with a 1-yard run, followed by Ariel Till’s conversion, with 59 seconds left in the first quarter, capping a drive that was set up by a Brady Mott interception in the end zone and return to near midfield.

Oak Ridge tied the game its next possession when Drew Cowart

hit Aden Clark with a 7-yard touchdown pass with 8:57 left in the first half. An interception by Roman Price helped keep the score 7-7 at halftime.

It didn’t take long after the second half kickoff for the Bulldogs to take the lead for good. On their first play, Leon-Guerrero burst up the middle and raced 67 yards for a touchdown, Till’s conversion making it 14-7.

“It doesn’t take very much space for that guy,” Papadopoulos said.

“He’s got great vision. . . . He’s a big difference maker for us.”

Till added three more crucial points with a linedrive 33-yard field goal with 2:53 to go in the third quarter, capping a 61-yard, 14-play drive that ate up nearly 5 minutes.

Vacaville’s defense then made a stand, but a muff on the punt return was recovered by Oak Ridge at the Bulldogs’ 20. However, on the next play Timothy Plowman got Vacaville the ball

back on the next play by recovering a fumble and returning it to the Bulldogs’ 26.

“It’s one of the best defensive performances I’ve ever seen,” Papadopoulos said, “the amount of times we put our defense in really terrible spots and they bailed us out to give us that chance.”

The Trojans did eventually make things close with a 35-yard field goal

FAIRFIELD — Football players at Vanden High School spent the afternoon Friday studying up on a new opponent and following the Air Quality Index.

The Vikings learned just days ago that they would be playing River City at George A. Gammon Field after Franklin of Elk Grove had to pull out because of Covid issues.

Then they had to wait out the afternoon to see if the AQI was going to be under the hazardous number of 150 because of the drift smoke from Northern Cal-

ifornia wildfires.

After a few hiccups in the early going – namely three turnovers – the Vikings started running on all cylinders in a 49-0 rout of River City.

It tied for the fifthbiggest shutout and 10th-biggest margin of victory in school history.

Quarterback Tre Dimes threw four touchdowns to four different receivers, the Fisherman brothers combined for three touchdowns and the defense had Raiders quarterback Diego Gonzales perplexed all night.

“The fellas played hard,” Vanden head coach Sean Murphy said. “It was a long day not knowing

Diego Nunez-Smith’s first two of seven perfect conversions helped the Vikings score 14 points in just 38 seconds.

Dimes connected with Michael Belk with an 8-yard touchdown with 3:40 to play in the half.

That put the Vikings up 21-0 at the break.

Elijah Fisherman got the running game into the end zone when he dove over from 1 yard out in the third quarter. Dimes connected with his fourth receiver for a TD when a pass to Robert Breed went for 36 yards. Elijah’s brother Cameron Fisherman accounted for See Vanden, Page A7

Webb comes full circle in Atlanta, shuts down Braves in another win Tribune Content Agency ATLANTA — At the end of the 2019 season, the Giants celebrated Bruce Bochy’s swan song by giving the manager a long list of prospects and minor league journeymen to audition for roles with future clubs that might one day contend again.

The vast majority of those players didn’t stick around, but a 22-year-old right-hander who overcame some brutal outings to show off all his immense potential did.

Two years after holding an eventual 97-win Braves team to one run in the best start of his major league career, Logan Webb returned to Atlanta as the Giants’ emerging ace and proved that performance was not a fluke.

With seven scoreless innings against a first-place Braves team on Saturday, Webb led the Giants (84-45) to a 5-0 win – the team’s 15th shutout victory – as he put the finishing touches on a National League Pitcher of the Month campaign.

Tommy La Stella hit a first-inning home run, Mike Yastrzemski launched his team-leading 21st homer and added a RBI double,

but when Webb pitches, the spotlight tends to belong to him.

Saturday was no different.

When Webb last pitched at Truist Park in 2019, he was a rookie with a 6.51 ERA who appeared mostly overwhelmed in his brief stint in the big leagues. The right-hander was a work in progress at the time, but the first quality start of his career gave the Giants an indication he possessed the mentality and what Bochy termed the “equipment,” (often referred to as “stuff”) to succeed in the major leagues.

With his seventh consecutive quality start for a Giants club that’s streaking toward the postseason, Webb may have a new “best start of his major league career,” and San Francisco has a starter no opposing lineup wants to see right now.

With his 13th consecutive start allowing two runs or fewer, Webb lowered his season ERA to 2.65 and now holds the longest such streak for a Giants pitcher since Ferdie Schoop held opponents to two runs or fewer in 16 straight starts for the New York Giants from 1916-1917.

The Giants won for the 12th time in Webb’s last 13 games and

much of Saturday’s success can be attributed to Webb’s work in the middle innings.

The right-hander shouldn’t have been in a sixth-inning jam, but third baseman Wilmer Flores did him no favors early in the frame. After Freddie Freeman hit a ground ball up the middle that tipped off Webb’s glove, a shifted Flores failed to charge the ball and his throw to first was too late to retire the reigning National League MVP. The Giants starter picked up his teammate by inducing a potential 5-4-3 double play ball off the bat of the next hitter, Austin Riley, but Flores’ throw to La Stella at second base was wide and sailed into right field. With runners at the corners and no one out, Webb was at his best as he retired Dansby Swanson on a weak popup to shallow center field before catcher Travis d’Arnaud bounced into an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play.

The sequence highlighted all the progress Webb has made in his young career as he’s matured from a pitcher who was rattled by the See Webb, Page A10

VACAVILLE — Baxter Tilford ran for three touchdowns and threw for another as the Will C. Wood High football team shook off an early 14-0 deficit to give first-year coach Jacob Wright his first win with a 28-24 victory over El Camino of Sacramento at Wildcat Stadium, Friday.

The Wildcats (1-1) turned the ball over on their first two possessions – after using 11 plays to get to the Eagles’ 17 on the first – and the visitors turned the miscues into points.

Wood bounced back with Tilford scoring from 8 yards out, though the Wildcats failed on the conversion attempt.

Later in the second quarter – after Wood overcame another lost fumble – Tilford went over from 1 yard out and hit Krishna Clay to tie the score at 14-14 with a conversion pass.

Tilford, who ran for 101 yards on 17 carries and completed 12 of 22 passes for 178 yards with one interception, put the Wildcats ahead for the first time on his third TD run, this one again from 1 yard out, with Clay booting the first of his two conversion kicks to make it 21-14.

The Eagles, who topped Armijo 35-6 in their season opener last week and were a late replacement for Casa Roble when the Rams couldn’t play because of Covid issues, bounced back with 10 points to go up 24-21 entering the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats responded with Tilford hitting Jayjay Olaes with a 43-yard touchdown pass for the winning score just past the midway point of the fourth quarter.

“To go out, drive the field and score, shows the potential of what we can do,” Wright said. “. . . We were able to create ball security after we had those turnovers. The kids were resilient, turning it over three times and not dropping our heads.”

Wood travels to play at Napa next Friday.

JACKSON DAZZLES AT QB IN LIFTING VACAVILLE CHRISTIAN TO WIN VACAVILLE — Filling in at quarterback, Hunter Jackson ran for 121 yards and a touchdown, and threw for 106 yards and another TD as the Vacaville Christian High football team used another stellar defensive effort to blank Stone Ridge Christian of Merced, 30-0, Friday.

“He came in and just moved the offense so well,” Falcons coach Manny Tarango said of Jackson. “He

had a couple misfires and whatnot, but he commanded the offense so well. He’s the basketball team’s point guard so it’s a natural move from wide receiver to quarterback. If it wasn’t for penalties, he probably had 200 yards rushing.”

Jackson put VCS (2-0) up 6-0 with a 9-yard run and Levi West added a 12-yard TD romp to up the lead to 12-0 at the half.

On the first play of the second half, the Falcons’ Noah Siaosi forced a fumble, made the recovery and ran it 32 yards for a touchdown.

The Falcons upped their lead to 24-0 on a 24-yard rollout pass from Jackson to William Verdon.

The final TD was on a 7-yard run

by Bryce Pazdel in the fourth quarter.

Jackson completed 7 of 10 pass attempts and added his third interception of the year on defense, while West ran for 37 yards on seven attempts and Wesley Krier ran eight times for a team-high 69 yards.

Pazdel, who was a force on defense with 12 tackles, seven solo, ran seven times for 54 yards, most of it on the final scoring drive.

On defense, Carter Peters led with 13 tackles, eight of them solo, while Zack Mercado added nine tackles, seven of them solo, with two quarterback hurries and Jaden Santos contributed an interception.

That helped the Falcons limit the Knights to 12 yards rushing and 135 total.

The Falcons host Lower Lake on Friday.

SUDDEN HOST ARMIJO FALLS TO PIONEER, 44-6 FAIRFIELD — Moving the game to Brownlee Field to take advantage of better air quality didn’t help as the Armijo High football team dropped to 0-2 with a 44-6 loss to Pioneer of Woodland, Friday.

The game was originally scheduled to be a home game for Pioneer but was moved on Friday with no JV game.

The Royals trailed 37-0 before defensive lineman T.J. Lipkins caught his own deflection to set up an 11-yard pass from Eddie Concepcion-Garcia to Kiaba Washington on third-and-goal in the third quarter.

“It’s a good thing to see for a big man to get an interception,” Armijo coach Don Mosley said of Lipkins’ grab. “He tipped it up to himself and caught it. He almost took it back for a touchdown.”

Concepcion-Garcia wound up 12 of 28 for 96 yards with Washington catching four passes for 60 yards.

Taking over for David Singleton, who went out with an injury three plays into the game, Isiah Medina rushed for 32 yards on nine carries and tied Keshaun Williams for the team led with five tackles. Williams also forced and recovered a fumble.

Jack Carner led the Pioneer attack by rushing for 128 yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries.

“We had a good week of preparation,” Mosley said. “The guys came out and played hard. We’ve got to stay disciplined in battle, not get caught up ebbs and flows of the game. We’ve got to stay on an even keel.”

The Royals host Mission of San Francisco on Friday for Alumni Night.

Who will control sports betting in California?

Sports betting is coming The NFL also selected to California, but once again Caesars Entertainment, Draft-

Kings and FanDuel Group as partners who will pay many millions of dollars for the right to display NFL content on their betting sites.

So what about California?

Bills to legalize sports betting in the nation’s largest and richest market have kicked around the Legislature for several years but lawmakers have been unable to agree on a system that would please all of the contending gambling interests.

With deadlock in the Capitol, casino-owning tribes decided to grab control via a ballot initiative that’s already qualified for the 2022 ballot.

If approved, the measure would authorize betting on professional and collegiate sports at tribal-owned sites and four horse racing tracks – the latter an obvious gesture to a onetime rival to reduce potential opposition.

The measure also sanctions roulette and craps in

tribal casinos and pointedly requires sports bets to be placed in person at the designated sites, thereby closing off online wagering until and unless the tribes want it.

The state’s poker parlors are opposing the measure, not only because it would create new competition for gamblers’ dollars but because it contains language that would subject them to increased state regulation.

It’s a David vs. Goliath situation because the tribes can throw almost unlimited funds into a campaign for the measure – in fact, they already have 10 times as much in their campaign treasury.

However, several cities that have poker parlors have filed a rival initiative that would also authorize sports betting in Indian casinos and at racetracks but expand legalization to poker parlors, professional sports teams themselves and – most importantly – online betting

operations.

The latter provision virtually invites the big online wagering corporations to pour millions of dollars into qualifying and passing the new measure and perhaps into opposing the tribal initiative. Whichever measure garners the most votes would prevail if their provisions conflict.

The stakes in this political showdown are immeasurably large – many billions of dollars in revenue. Will the tribes once again outfox the opposition or be compelled to share the bounty with their rivals? Or will a legislative compromise cancel the expensive ballot measure duel?

Solano needs indoor mandatory mask order We are facing challenging times with Covid-19 since the delta variant is now the dominant version of the virus here in Solano County.

Our positive case numbers are climbing and if we were still in the tier system we would be over the purple level and a mandatory mask mandate would be in place. As of Aug. 19, 2021, Solano County is at very high risk, with an average of 154 cases per day reported, a 24% increase from the average two weeks ago (from The New York Times, Tracking Coronavirus in California.)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending that all people wear masks indoors when a county is at a high transmission level.

The CDC shows the level of community transmission in Solano County as high. The posted recommendations for indoor settings: “Fully vaccinated people who do become infected with the delta variant can transmit it to others. Therefore, fully vaccinated people can further reduce their risk of becoming infected with the delta variant and transmitting it to others by wearing a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high community transmission.”

I am asking the Board of Supervisors to adopt a temporary mandatory mask requirement for indoor public places in Solano County immediately and to keep it in place until we are at a low transmission rate, as per the CDC’s guidelines.

Voluntary mask use is not working in Solano County. Anyone can view this by going into crowded businesses, which are following the Solano County Public Health Department guidelines of not requiring masks, and see the mix of masked and unmasked people who are also not socially distancing.

It is the unvaccinated children and immune-compromised residents who are suffering the most. Please change this to keep us safe and keep people shopping here.

have made hundreds of thousands of dollars at our many fundraisers throughout the years. You have no doubt seen our ads, and thank-yous in this publication, Lunafest, Denim and Diamonds, and Mardi Gras Madness, to name a very few.

Our mission is to focus on helping women and girls. This is the passion that drew me initially to be a charter member of the club. As the years go by, it seems this mission has become more important than ever. But the longer I stay, the more I realize that it is not what I can give to this cause; it is the community that I receive from the women who belong.

Their strength, intelligence and sheer will buoys me up time and again. We have suffered some devastating losses in the past months, but these women are strong and soft all at the same time.

I am proud to know them all. They are better than me.

We are going to begin meeting in person again. We always welcome folks who are interested in knowing more about us. We are on Facebook and Instagram as well. I hope next time you hear the word Soroptimist, you have a better understanding of who we are. We are just like you and we have found a home.

What is Soroptimist International?

I am writing this letter to introduce you to the Soroptimists of Central Solano County. Why, you ask, do I need to introduce an organization that is about to celebrate 20 years of assisting women and girls, locally, and globally?

The reason is, that when our members move about the community, even after 20 years, we are asked, “What is Soroptimist?”

I do not have room enough in this letter to name all the organizations that Soroptimists have donated to, worked for, done hands-on projects for, and supported both with money and time. We

Tax Watchers column warrants rebuttal The Tax Watchers column “To Recall or Not Recall” (DR, Aug. 20) is a poorly disguised propaganda piece spun from the Republican agenda to grab control of the governor’s office and is totally a partisan issue.

The column lists the things that the governor is doing wrong, like a water shortage due to drought, rampaging wildfires in forested regions, Covid-19 mandatory precautions, housing the homeless.

Do people seriously think that the governor caused those conditions?

Neither does he solely control the resolution of them. We all know that the state Legislature generates and controls most of the legalities and restrictions applicable to California life.

Replacing the governor now will not change anything that the author is complaining about. A Republican replacement will have only one year to take action. The seated majority Democratic Legislature will be a tough sell.

The column fails to identify the purpose of the Tax Watchers’ attention to and convince that the recall election is a tax issue. Does the nonpartisan Tax

Watchers group have a political agenda?

If the group cares about the taxpayer, they would oppose this recall.

The author’s condemnation of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s actions is an affront to the voters who elected Newsom three years ago. If the Republicans want to replace the governor, then they should run for that office in next year’s November election and save the taxpayers the $276 million for this recall election.

Do the right thing. Keep our governor in office. Allow him to complete his work for all Californians.

In brief

Progress reported in fighting giant Caldor Fire STRAWBERRY — With a favorable turn in weather conditions, firefighters made some progress Saturday against the massive Caldor Fire that has been raging in the mountains near South Lake Tahoe.

Crews on the fire’s northeastern edge – the front closest to lake resorts – were “cautiously optimistic” Saturday as containment numbers increased for the first time in several days, from 12% to 19%, according to Cal Fire incident spokesman Jay Smith. The fire has so far burned 149,684 acres Smith attributed the improvement to cooler weather and hard-working ground crews, particularly since significant smoke over the last several days had made aerial attacks challenging.

At a fire staging area inside the tiny town of Strawberry along Highway 50, the air remained smoky but less noxious than the day before. Smith said the priority for the day was “buttoning up” the fire’s northwestern edge, which saw some flare-ups overnight, and protecting Strawberry from the creeping flames.

US forces in Kabul on high alert as evacuations enter final phase Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — U.S. forces sought to assert control in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Saturday, insisting that they were in command of the airport there and announcing the deaths of senior Islamic State leaders in a retaliatory airstrike earlier this week.

Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Saturday that U.S. forces remained in control of the airport and would remain in control until the Tuesday deadline for their forces to pull out.

The statement was a response to statements by the Taliban – who surprised Washington by ousting a U.S.-backed government earlier this month – that their forces had taken control of some of the access gates to the airport.

The world’s attention has been focused on the airport since Aug. 16 – the day after the Taliban takeover – as expatriates in Afghanistan and Afghans who fear for their life under the ultraconservative Taliban have tried to reach the airport for a flight out.

Taliban forces have tried at times to block Afghans from reaching the airport and those who made it were met by administrative chaos.

The situation grew worse after a deadly suicide attack on Thursday.

Most Western allies have ended their airlift evacuations, though some like France are negotiating for ways to keep bringing people out.

Taliban fighters walk at the main entrance gate of Kabul airport, Saturday.

There are fears that not everyone who had hoped to get out will have made it.

The U.S. is continuing its evacuations through Tuesday. As of Friday, it still had 5,000 troops working at the airport, but now says it will no longer provide updates on troop status for security reasons, even as reports swirl that numbers are being drawn down in advance of Tuesday’s deadline.

U.S. officials say there are about 350 Americans still in Afghanistan.

Of those, about 280 have made no plans to leave or have announced plans to stay in Afghanistan.

Some 6,800 people have been flown out of Kabul in the past 24 hours.

A White House spokesperson said that by Saturday morning, the U.S. Air Force had flown 32 flights to bring about 4,000 people to safety, and allied aircraft had evac-

uated about 2,800 people.

Since the start of the mission in mid-August, the United States and its partners have flown out a total of 112,000 people.

By Saturday a total of about 20,500 evacuees from Afghanistan had landed at the U.S. Ramstein Air Base in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate since the evacuations began.

Many of those who want to get out of Afghanistan fear life under the Taliban, which ruled from 1996 to 2001 and enforced a strictly Islamist lifestyle, which stripped most women of their rights and banned things like Western music.

But there are other forces working in the country too, such as Islamic State affiliates, which oppose both Taliban rule and the U.S. occupation. One such group claimed responsibility for Thursday’s

bombing, which left at least 182 dead, including 13 U.S. soldiers.

On Saturday, the Pentagon revealed that the deceased were mostly Marines, but also one service member from the Army and Navy each.

They were aged 20 to 31, with most between 20 and 23. Their coffins were on the way to the United States on Saturday.

The U.S. responded with an airstrike on the same day. On Saturday, U.S. Major General William Taylor reported that two high-ranking Islamic State members are dead and a third is wounded.

Further terrorist attacks targeting the airlift operations out of Kabul’s airport are likely in the very near future, warned President Joe Biden on Saturday.

“The situation on the ground continues to be extremely dangerous, and the threat of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high. Our commanders informed me that an attack is highly likely in the next 24-36 hours,” he said.

The priority has to be maintaining safety for troops working at the airport, where U.S. personnel are still overseeing operations to airlift out people trying to flee the country now that the Taliban have taken over.

“This strike was not our last,” said Biden in the wake of the Thursday attack, building on earlier threats when he told the terrorists: “We will not forgive, we will not forget, we will hunt you down and make you pay.”

Battle From Page One deputies to bring items for a silent prize drawing.

The Fairfield Police Activities League provides programs for teens that focus on social and emotional development activities.

The programs provide enriching, educational and engaging activities for teens to grow and develop skills in communication, autonomy and identity development, learning conflict resolution and improved physical health.

First responders faced off in 50-minute innings.

The last one standing received a trophy belt commemorating the event to keep in their possession for the coming year. Each team had up to 15 players.

New innings started at the top of each hour.

Food, music, games, prizes and activities for children were available.

Admission was free with the food and prize tickets available for purchase.

“We hoped to put something on to build team spirit,” said Lt. Jausiah Jacobsen, the Fairfield

Police Department’s public information officer.

This is the first year for the event and they want to grow the activities and participation in coming years.

Lewis and the other officers were having a lot of fun.

“Next year will be bigger and better,” Lewis said.

Suisun City Fire Chief Justin Vincent gets ready for underwater training as part of the six-member team

of the Suisun City Fire Department Rescue Dive at the Suisun City marina, Saturday.

Team

ment has a wonderful recovery team but they do recovery for evidence and bodies.”

This newly formed team is trained to find people moments after they fall into the water.

“This will be the final certification, which means we are certified to wear a full face mask,” Vincent said.

They practiced getting into wetsuits in less than five minutes Saturday. In the water, it was training for various scenarios,

including if another diver is struggling.

“We practice giving them our oxygen mask without being able to see them,” Vincent said.

To do this, they have had to learn to use ropes, hand gestures and feeling and touching underwater – all in pitch blackness.

“Basically, it is like we had to learn a whole new language,” said Fire Capt. Jason Brassfield.

The firefighters have used the Kroc Center pools for training, and

being that the pools are brightly lit have been doing the exercises with eyes closed.

The waters of the marina fluctuate throughout the day from 9 feet to 15 feet deep depending on the hour. It also has a slight tidal pull, which can either be going toward town or away from it out into the Delta.

Once this certification is done, the team will be ready for action in deep, murky waters to help rescue anyone in trouble.

“Many are wondering why we haven’t hired more teachers and staff.

Well, we would if we could. We have had to reach out to those who recently retired and also those long retired.”

The district has two recent retirees who returned but they can only work limited hours because of their pension requirements.

Corey said the district also has issues with transportation and busing.

“It is challenging because we have a lack of bus drivers to take the routes,” she said.

So the district is looking to hire bus drivers, Corey said – hopefully soon.

The school district has also been tasked with contact tracing whenever there’s a confirmed case of Covid-19 on a campus.

Contact tracers need to quickly locate and talk with the patients, assist in arranging for patients to isolate themselves, and work with patients to identify people with whom the infected person had been in close contact so the contact tracer can locate them.

“The testing is very

complex and there are different routes with adults and children,” Corey said. “It can take six hours to trace a child’s contacts and an adult, three hours.”

Corey said she very much hopes that all staff members get vaccinated.

“It looks like about 90% of those who responded to vaccination verification have been vaccinated,” she said. “For those left – please get vaccinated.”

Anyone interested in jobs available at the school district should check online at www. fsusd.org/jobs.

Those realities made for a difficult week for teachers who had already set up classrooms, settled their curricula for the year and were ready for in-person learning, Corey said. Instead, many teachers have had to be reassigned and are in different classrooms than planned.

“We asked for volunteers first,” Corey said.

Local: Trio powers Bulldogs to VB win From Page A6 Monday with just the varsity teams playing at American Canyon High at 5 p.m.

The junior varsity teams were in the first quarter when their game on Friday was canceled and the varsity contest put on hold pending a decision to be made at 6:30 p.m. It was at that time that the varsity game was called as well.

“I really thank American Canyon, I’m appreciative of them putting safety first,” Mustangs coach Myles King said. “It wasn’t that (not playing) was tough, I wanted to make sure they rescheduled. Our principal (Clarence Isadore) and our athletic director (Tracy Cordes) were on board, their coach was willing to communicate with me and we got it rescheduled for Monday – Monday night football.”

It helps that Rodriguez, which opened its season with a 45-0 win over Bear Creek of Stockton last week, has its bye scheduled for next week. The Mustangs’ next game is Sept. 10 at Napa.

The Braves put pressure on Webb early as Atlanta advanced runners into scoring position in the first and third innings, but the youngest player on the Giants roster didn’t crack. Despite throwing 59 pitches through just three innings, Webb was able to work deeper into Saturday’s game thanks in large part to a three-pitch fourth inning.

After hitting d’Arnaud on the elbow with the first pitch of the frame, he got Adam Duvall to ground into a 4-6-3 double play before Braves center fielder Joc Pederson flew out to left fielder Alex Dickerson to end the inning.

According to Baseball Almanac, Webb joined Jon

The Bulldogs JV team rolled to a 25-4, 25-11 victory behind a great outside game from Aria Wolts and a solid slide attack from Emma McPeak.

In the freshman contest, Vacaville prevailed behind consistent serving and passing from setters Nora Brazelton and Teagan Roser and defensive specialists Audrey Duggy and Avery Pardini.

Solano Town Center Gallery to debut ‘The Natural World’ Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Arts Association invites the public to a new show at the Solano Town Center Gallery.

“The Natural World” will feature a collection of photography, acrylic, oil watercolor paintings, ceramics, wood carving, mixed media and jewelry. show runs The Sept. 8 through Oct. 30.

This fine art event will offer two featured artists: photographer JT Whittaker and watercolor painter Misuk Goltz.

There will be a silent art auction that features the artwork of Goltz. The auction will finish with bids due by 6 p.m. Oct. 23.

Whittaker fell in love with the beauty of nature from the large expansive landscapes to the smallest plants and creatures.

Nature has inspired him to share its beauty and offer an opportunity to others who would normally not be able to see what he loves.

He joined the Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Arts Association because it gave him an outlet for his artwork and allowed him to become part of a diverse art community.

His photography has been influenced by Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Brett Weston (all photographers) and Eyvind Earle, a painter.

Whittaker in his early 20s said that the exposures by Ansel Adams of Yosemite “blew

him away!”

For more information about Whittaker, visit his website, www.jtphotoimages.net.

Goltz began painting with watercolors in 2009. Since then, she has become a master artist, winning many awards and displaying her artwork in several galleries and in private shows across the country.

Her painting has been influenced by Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, Mary Whyte, Jose Zbukvic and Yim Mau-Kun. Goltz credits her success to her husband Mark, who supported her interest in art and his belief that she would become a great artist.

She has donated part of her personal collection to the Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Arts Association for an art auction during this show.

The artist joined the arts association in 2019 and is a supporter of the arts. Her artwork can be viewed at https:// mgoltz1951.wixsite.com/ my-site-1.

The Solano Town Center Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, inside the Solano Town Center mall, 1350 Travis Blvd., Suite D-8.

Raccoons at the Party

Raccoons at the Party will play at Jelly Belly Candy Palooza on Sept. 25-26. The band is comprised of teens who are part of Live Music Center.

bring rock ‘n’ roll to Jelly Belly Candy Palooza Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — There will be more than sweet treats at Jelly Belly Candy Palooza Sept-25-26 at the Jelly Belly Visitor Center, One Jelly Lane.

A teen rock band will offer some ear candy.

Raccoons at the Party was born at the Live Music Center and favors diverse music from ABBA to Black Sabbath.

The musicians are under the direction of Megan Tucker.

Drummer Brayden Cone found his rhythm early in life.

“I was 2 years old and I was banging on all the pots and pans in my house. So my grandma decided to buy me my first drum set for Christmas,” he shared in an email.

He began with the band when he was 9. That was six years ago.

Cone’s mother was looking for a band camp in the Bay Area with the lowest age limit, which was 12.

“Megan let me start early based on my previous band experience of three years,” he wrote in an email.

He contemplates a career as a drummer.

Cone admires drummers Mario Duplantier, Gojira, and Joey Jordison, from Slipknot.

He is a sophomore and is homeschooled through Visions in Education.

Vocalist Sarina Rocco is also

an original member. She got involved when a friend from choir told her a rock band was looking for a singer. Rocco tried out and earned the spot.

The group’s music leans toward rock on the heavy side, she said.

The Dixon High School senior lists Pierce the Veil as her favorite band.

She credits her mother with getting her involved in music.

“I watched an episode of ‘I Carly,’ ” Rocco said. “She sang ‘Amazing Grace’ and I mimicked it.”

Vocal lessons at Live Music Center was the next step.

Stage fright is not an issue for the teen who plans a career in the environmental field.

Rocco admires the signing of Jameson Rodgers and Gwen Stefani.

The band got its name with the musicians calling out what was on their minds. One of the musicians called out Raccoons at the Party. Everyone laughed, so the moniker stuck.

“Now, I can’t imagine them being called everything different,” Tucker wrote in an email.

Tucker finds much reward working with the youth.

“I don’t think I can say enough how much I love working with these young musicians. Watching them grow over the last five years, both musically and as people, has

been incredibly gratifying, and I’m so honored to have the privilege to mentor them,” she wrote.

When they first started, Tucker guided them through learning songs, teaching them how to use the sound gear, and making sure they could work together well as a band. Now, they are top-notch.

“I wish I could take all the credit for their musical abilities, but really it comes down to them putting the individual practice into it between our group rehearsals,” Tucker wrote. “It definitely makes my job as coach easy now; I get to fine-tune the raw work they’ve done, work with them on their stage presence and show technique, and put it all together to make this amazing group.”

Tucker likes to joke her long-term goal for coaching young musicians is to guide them to become musicians she would like to play with.

“Now I can honestly say that all of the members in Raccoons at the Party are musicians I’d love to play music with, and I’m pretty proud of them for that,” Tucker wrote. “I’m also incredibly proud that although they’re this powerhouse of a band. No one has an ego or acts like a diva. When we do gigs, they’re ready to help set gear up and tear down, they support the younger bands with enthusiasm, and they’re just genuinely good and kind people. I love that about them.”

JoJo Siwa, the perky, blond teen from Iowa with 60.5 million social media followers and 3.6 billion YouTube views, will compete on the upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars” – and she’ll be in the long-running series’ first same-sex pairing. of all Shock shocks: She’s super stoked about it.

“I am so excited to be a part of this year’s ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ Season 30, and to be dancing with a girl, I think it’s so cool. My puppy Buddy – are you so excited, boy?,” the 18-year-old said in an effervescent video on the show’s Twitter account.

(She held the dog up for the camera, though Buddy declined to comment).

“Yes he is, he’s so pumped up,” Siwa said.

“It’s going to be the best ever. I can’t wait to dance every single week, I can’t wait to meet my partner – oh my gosh, there’s so many things I’m so excited for!”

The erstwhile “Dance Moms” star, who burst on the scene in 2013 on “Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition,” has racked up steady TV appearances since then, mostly as herself, and also has launched a musical career with singles such as the gold-certified “Boomerang.” In January, she came out as LGBTQ+ on social media, saying she wasn’t sure how to label her sexual orientation.

A few months later, in a People interview where she called herself “the happiest human alive,”

Michael Tullberg/Getty Images/TNS file (2019)

Singer JoJo Siwa performs at Honda Center in Anaheim, Aug. 13, 2019. she talked about her relationship with girlfriend Kylie Prew: “I still don’t know what I am. It’s like, I want to figure it out. And I have this joke. Her name is Kylie. And so I say that I’m Ky-sexual.

“But like, I don’t know, bisexual, pansexual, queer, lesbian, gay, straight,” she continued.

“I always just say ‘gay’ because it just kind of covers it, or ‘queer’ because I think the keyword is cool.”

“Dancing With the has featured Stars” famous actors, athletes, astronauts and former governors, ambassadors and presidential press secretaries, but not many who can match Siwa’s placement among Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. (You thought we were joking but the link is right there, and the tribute is penned

by Kim Kardashian West, for good measure.)

The significance of the same-sex pairing, the first in the history of the U.S. version of the show, did not escape GLAAD. The organization had previously named Siwa to its second annual 20 Under 20 List – described by the organization as “a collection of 20 young LGBTQ people who are accelerating acceptance of LGBTQ people while shaping the future of media and activism.”

The U.K. counterpart to “DWTS,” a show called “Strictly Come Dancing,” featured its first samesex pairing in 2020. It was also two women.

Anthony Allen Ramos, GLAAD’s head of talent, said in a statement: “At 18, JoJo Siwa is once again using her platform to inspire and uplift the LGBTQ community.

As one of today’s most watched and celebrated programs on television, ‘Dancing With the Stars’

and Tyra Banks are making the right decision to feature JoJo Siwa competing alongside a female professional dancer. The show has such a wide, farreaching audience and there is a real opportunity here for people to celebrate the samesex pairing and root for JoJo and all LGBTQ young people.”

However, the announcement was not greeted with universal huzzahs.

Twitter user @philly critic1, apart from objecting to the show featuring a contestant known for her dancing – though many experienced dancers have appeared on the show, including the reigning winner, “Bachelorette” alum and dance instructor Kaitlyn Bristowe – wrote, “just because she wants to dance with a woman doesn’t mean the audience will like it. It’s a contest, not a platform!”

User @machidoanca tweeted, “God! I will not be watching this season! last season was already crazy with Tyra now this,” to which user @ Armando1649 responded, “Yep your right.

94 percent of the country doesn’t care also. They are trying to conform to the 6 percent. It’s crazy.”

Others tweeted in support: “This makes me very, very happy my dearest JoJo! Not only promoting ‘girls like girls’, the whole thing will be much more fun watching! Enjoy it like I do!

Love you for this! (thanx, in Russian),” wrote @ RVisser12233047.

Season 30 of “Dancing With the Stars” debuts Sept. 20 on ABC.

It drives me crazy when my mom dresses just like me unless I want to match.

Dear Annie: After As I mentioned, I’m going to college out of trying to save money for state and graduating a school, so going clothes few years ago, I moved shopping is a rare treat home with my parents for me. However, my so I could save money mom would live at the while attending gradmall if she could. I uate school. Recently, really appreciate all my my mom has started to get on my last nerve. If Annie Lane parents are doing for me – living rent-free is I look good in an outfit, Dear Annie a blessing, I know – but she goes out and buys I’m this close to living in my the same thing. Though this sweats. Annie, how do I stop has been happening since high myself from unraveling? — The school, it’s been happening a Empress’s New Clothes lot more recently. I’ve brought Dear Empress’s New it up in the past, but she hasn’t seen a problem with it. We don’t Clothes: I understand your allergic reaction to Mom’s even have the same body shape copycat behavior. But the next or skin tone, so what looks good time she dresses up like her on me doesn’t flatter her. Also, she gets so excited when buying style icon (i.e., you), try changnew clothes that she’ll wear the ing your outlook instead of your outfit over and over again, never outfit. Perhaps if you look at it as giving me a chance to wear it an attempt at being closer with

you, it will become less annoying and more endearing. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

What’s more, although you might be self-conscious, I doubt many people actually notice that you two are dressed like twins. For one, you wear the clothes very differently, as you said. For another, people are generally too busy worrying about how they look to notice how anyone else does.

Dear Annie: My husband has been battling addiction for a long time. Things seemed to be going better, but then items started disappearing from the house. His behavior seemed off.

I questioned him but only heard more lies. We went to marriage counseling. I tried to be a good wife. But then everything came crashing down. He is now

in rehab. His recovery is in his own hands, and I hope he takes it seriously.

Meanwhile, I’m left cleaning up the mess he made. I’m so angry, hurt and worried. I’m seeing a counselor, but I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to do that because of the cost. I am planning on attending local Al-Anon meetings when I can, but I haven’t been able to yet.

I have no idea how I’m going to pick up the pieces of the life his addiction has shattered, but I know I must. I have to carry on for myself and for my daughter. I have been blessed with a huge support group, made up of family, friends and colleagues.

Without them, I don’t know how I would manage getting out of bed in the morning.

Please share this letter to remind people that compassion

for victims of addiction can help save someone who feels she has nowhere left to go. You may not be able to help the addict, but you can help those whose lives have been forever upended as a result of the addiction. — An Addict’s Wife Dear Addict’s Wife: I’m printing your call for compassion. That is one thing we could always use more of. If you are still thinking about going to an Al-Anon meeting but haven’t yet, go now and think about it later.

Today’s birthday You’re knowledgeable, but not too proud to utter the magic words “I don’t know” so the world unfolds its grandeur at your feet. As you lead with curiosity, you’ll keep everyone on their toes, increase communication and cooperation, and be instrumental in smooth operations. You’ll be celebrated and paid well! Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 29, 17 and 5.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The intelligence you use to read the room is a communication beyond language. You tune into primal factors and understand how to best manage the social network before you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t expect to be paid for any and every exertion of effort. Though an endeavor should ideally be its own reward, which is a kind of payment built into the action.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a talent for creating easy fun.

People enjoy your challenges, and they will play the games you layout and sign up for whatever daring excitement you propose.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Improvements cannot be made in theory; they must happen in practice.

You can learn why and how something works, but that’s not enough to make it work for you. Experience is the best teacher.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are a master of silent communication. It comes with flexibility of focus. You can zoom out or in as needed to get in sync with your target. With the right kind of concentration, you establish mental connection.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). An enthralling project makes you forget your worries and concerns. And when reality sets back in, you’ll have a fresh take on it. What was once important will seem petty or vice versa.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Relentless excitement can be emotionally taxing.

You’ll take a break from drama as you gravitate to kind people with something interesting – but not too interesting – to talk about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The role of creativity is thought by some to be secondary to the main action – a garnish on the plate of life. But if you go into this day leading with your creativity, remarkable improvements will blossom.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Many things you once wanted are no longer important to you. Either you got them already, or the want weakened until it disappeared. But there are still wants that remain unsatisfied. You’ll revive an effort to make it happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You sense what people need and want. You have a better grasp of the big picture than many can see. With empathy, you open communication. You’re perfect for a diplomatic mission.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Tenacity brings success as long as you’re tenacious about something that is good for everyone. When the aim is selfish, persistence may still win out, but it’s a hollow victory.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It would be cool if loved ones could intuit your desire and fulfill it without you having to articulate a thing. This will not be the case, though. The best way to get what you want is simple: Ask for it!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Solo artist Liam Payne, who rose to fame with the band One Direction, admits to having a phobia of spoons. Considering his natal moon in Aquarius – an astral placement known to highlight zany eccentricities – perhaps it’s not so strange. This is also the moon of exceptional intelligence, creativity and kindness. Payne’s natal sun and Mercury are in hardworking Virgo, and Venus is in Leo, the sign of the entertainer.

Feeling bloated?

Ovarian cancer is rare – about 1.3% of women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer at some point in their life.

It could be more than what you just ate

S

Sally Wyatt

Northbay healthcare

eptember is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and with this sneaky disease it seems as if every month should be an awareness month.

Why? Because ovarian cancer’s symptoms can often be confused with other conditions. And, when symptoms do appear – such as with persistent bloating or swelling, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating, nausea, frequent urination and abnormal vaginal bleeding – the cancer may have reached advanced stages, according to the National Cancer Institute.

It’s also difficult to screen for the disease, unfortunately. So, being aware of the early signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer will certainly help lead to early diagnosis and life-saving treatment.

Ovarian cancer encompasses cancers of the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the primary peritoneum, which is the tissue that lines the abdominal wall and covers the abdominal organs.

Ovarian cancer is rare – about 1.3% of women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer at some point in their life, according to data from the National Cancer Institute. An estimated 21,750 women in the United States will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 13,940 are expected to die from the disease in 2021.

Think you may be at risk? Strong risk factors for this type of cancer include increasing age and a family history of the disease. Other risk factors for women include having never been pregnant or a mutation in the BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 genes. Most cases occur in women older than age 55.

If you or a loved one have been experiencing symptoms, it’s important to not brush them off as being caused by menstrual issues, overeating, not exercising or not eating enough fruits and fiber. Do bring your concerns to your medical provider.

Your doctor will likely perform a pelvic exam and use blood tests to evaluate your condition. If symptoms suggest ovarian cancer, your health care provider may order a pelvic ultrasound, abdominal and pelvic CT. Exploratory laparotomy or laparoscopy may also be performed to rule out cancer.

If cancer is detected, your doctor may use body CT, body MRI, PET/CT or lower GI to determine the extent and size of the tumor and whether or not it has spread.

Treatment depends on whether the cancer is confined to the ovary or if it has spread to other parts of the body, and may include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Surgery may include an oophorectomy, or the surgical removal of one or both ovaries. Women who have only

one ovary removed may still become pregnant, but pregnancy is no longer possible if both ovaries are removed.

An oophorectomy can be used in patients with very limited ovarian cancer that involves only one ovary and does not spread outside its capsule.

During surgery, lymph nodes and other abdominal tissues are evaluated and biopsied to assure that the tumor is limited to the ovary.

Another treatment option for more advanced cancers may include a hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus and cervix) and removal of other tumors that may have spread outside the ovary. Once the uterus is removed, a woman is no longer able to become pregnant.

Chemotherapy, or drugs that kill cancer cells, is commonly used in more advanced ovarian cancer after surgery.

In patients with ovarian cancer that cannot be removed surgically, chemotherapy is given as initial treatment.

Chemotherapy is usually given over time and alternated with periods of no treatment.

While it’s good for women at risk to remain aware, it’s also reassuring to keep this in mind: The five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer is 93% when diagnosed and treated in its earliest stages.

Maybe Torres

should be applauded as a pioneering ballplayer who overcame vanity in the pursuit of advancing his sport’s safety. That would represent an impressive legacy.

If headgear represents an appearance issue, we should recognize the countervailing importance of protecting one’s life and brain function.

Moreover, not to put too fine a point on it, it is not attractive to have a face that is bruised or traumatized. Face shields may also be reasonably considered.

Protective eyewear is available for racket sports, lacrosse, hockey, paintball, youth baseball and alpine skiing.

Mouthguards are also important. When a blow from a fist or a ball strikes a mouthguard, the kinetic energy is dispersed into the soft tissue of the cranium. Instead of knocking someone out or dislodging teeth, a less serious injury may often ensue.

To baseball’s credit, batting helmets and catcher’s masks are regularly employed. Changes that relate to safety awareness should begin in youth sports before careless habits become ingrained.

Professional players could advocate for safety.

Bassitt, considering his experience, could be a forceful advocate for safety.

Researchers at the University of Michigan’s school of public health have calculated the health and environmental footprint of eating various foods, and come out with specific numbers. The goal was to home in on environmentally sustainable foods that promote health, then measure the health effects in minutes – ranging from 74 minutes lost to 80 minutes gained per serving, according to

a nutritional scale they developed for the study.

The bad news is that highly processed meat, beef, shrimp, pork, lamb and greenhouse-grown vegetables are off the menu in this new paradigm. The good news is that all one has to do is tweak.

Researchers evaluated more than 5,800 foods to rank them by their nutritional disease burden and their environmental impact. They found that substituting just 10% of one’s daily calories for an equal value of fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and “select seafood” could reduce one’s dietary carbon footprint by onethird, and grant as many as 48 minutes of healthy life per day.

A hot dog on a bun, for

instance, can cost a person 36 minutes of healthy life. But a peanut butter and jelly sandwich could increase life by 33 minutes, the researchers found.

The researchers, headed by Katerina Styliaou – who was a doctoral student and postdoctoral fellow at the school at the time and now works with the Detroit Health Department – measured the minutes using the Health Nutritional Index, which they developed to calculate the net health burden of eating a particular item.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING CITY OF FAIRFIELD PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT PLANNING COMMISSION – EIR SCOPING MEETING Project: Fairfield Forward 2050: City of Fairfield Comprehensive General Plan Update, Housing Element Update, and Climate Action Plan Date: Wednesday, September 8, 2021 Time: 6:00 pm Location: City Council Chambers, 1000 Webster Street, Fairfield CA, 94533 The City of Fairfield is preparing an update of its General Plan which will establish the City’s overall approach to development, transportation, environmental quality, and other key topics through 2050. The Fairfield Forward 2050 project involves a comprehensive update to all elements of the General Plan. The Housing Element will be updated to accommodate the City's 6th Cycle Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) allocation.

Additionally, a Climate Action Plan will be prepared that includes a community-wide inventory of GHG emissions and a strategy for reducing them to achieve State-mandated targets. The Fairfield General Plan Update will have all elements required by State law plus additional elements to incorporate strategies for achieving the plan vision, complying with new State law enacted since the Fairfield General Plan was last comprehensively updated, and addressing emerging trends and new technologies. The General Plan is anticipated to have the following elements: Land Use; Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation; Circulation; Economic Development; Health and Safety; Sustainability; Public Health; Public Services; Community Design; Agriculture; and Travis Air Force Base Protection; these elements may be combined or further separated out when the General Plan is drafted.

The City has determined that the Project requires the preparation of a Program Environmental Impact Report (Program EIR) in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The purpose of the September 8th meeting is to provide the Planning Commission and public with an overview of the project, and to receive input from these groups regarding the scope of the EIR. Members of the public will be welcome to speak at this meeting and provide input regarding environmental issues that should be analyzed in the EIR. This meeting is the initial opportunity for public comment in the EIR process, but will focus only on the scope of issues that should be studied in the document.

No actions will be taken on the project at this meeting. As the review of the project moves forward, additional public meetings will be held by the Planning Commission and City Council. These will include a review of the draft EIR after it has been completed, and meetings where the City will consider formal action regarding approval of the project. No dates have yet been set for any of these meetings.

A Notice of Preparation for the EIR and other documents related to the meeting and the Fairfield Forward 2050 project are available on the internet at:

Leaders discuss future of mental health field Shireen Bedi

Air Force Surgeon General Public Affairs

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Mental health leaders across the Air Force met virtually for an annual conference, August 9-13, to discuss military mental health care, telehealth, the impact of Covid-19 and embedded mental health support.

Lt. Gen. Robert Miller, U.S. Air Force Surgeon General, presented a welcome message emphasizing the critical role mental health care plays in the readiness of airmen and guardians, especially amid the ongoing transition of military treatment facilities to the Defense Health Agency and the current situation in Afghanistan.

“Our mental health care is service-focused and has a direct impact on our operational mission,” Miller said. “Even with the Defense Health Agency having authority, direction and control of all military treatment facilities, the way we support our airmen and guardians will not change.”

Col. Scott Sonnek, psychological health director, also emphasized the important role mental health providers play in support of the Air Force mission.

“We have seen an increase in mental health utilization the last few years,” Sonnek said. “So, it is important our airmen and guardians have access to the resources they need.”

Along with an increase in mental health services being used, so has the reliance on telehealth.

“Covid, which is going to be with us for a while, has changed the way we practice medicine forever,” Miller said. “Telehealth has become even more important, and in the future there are going to be other causes for using virtual medicine.”

Col. Jennifer Chow, Air Force Medical Readiness Agency chief mental health officer, explained that while there has been a gradual increase See Health, Page B11

Operation Allies Refuge: Ramstein transforms into major evacuation hub K elly Sanders

86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany — As the Air Force’s largest mobility hub, Ramstein is often a flurry of activity.

But for more than a week, the base has experienced an unprecedented level of activity as thousands of airmen, soldiers, volunteers, augmentees and other community partners support a massive evacuation operation.

After the rapid deterioration of security in Afghanistan, the first of many aircraft carrying U.S. citizens, Special Immigrant Visa applicants and other vulnerable Afghans landed Aug. 20 at the base as part of Operation Allies Refuge. Since then, Ramstein has received more than 11,000 evacuees as they await transportation to their final destination.

More than 2,500 people had already departed Ramstein by midweek for the United States.

“While U.S. military members defended our homeland through combat operations in Afghanistan over the last 20 years, we depended on local Afghans to provide information, guidance, interpretation and more,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Randall Reed, Third Air Force commander.

“Now those partners who served alongside us need our help.”

Crews and aircraft from Travis Air Force Base are part of the overarching evacuation mission.

With little time to prepare, the base in Germany initially cleared out two of its aircraft hangars and set up hundreds of cots and sleeping bags to provide temporary shelters. That plan quickly changed when base leaders realized Ramstein would become U.S. European Command’s primary evacuation hub.

Base airmen, joint partners and an entire village of family members and volunteers worked around the clock to expand the base’s capacity to provide a safe haven for as many evacuees as possible. The effort required

U.S. Air Force Airmen organize meals for evacuees at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Aug. 24. Ramstein, a transit location for evacuees from Afghanistan, is providing temporary lodging, food, medical services and treatment while they await transportation to their next destinations. a broad spectrum of expertise and support including medical, logistics, maintenance, civil engineering, security and food services.

An undertaking of this magnitude requires enormous resources, planning and people to support and sustain it.

More than 350 tents now provide temporary shelters on the base’s ramps, complete with more than 10,000 cots and sleeping bags. The encampment, known as pods, also contains tents for prayer and medical services, showers, more than 600 Porta Johns, and space for recreation.

The base also quickly procured a contract with a local vendor to provide 30,000 meals per day.

Dozens of pallets of water bottles are trucked in daily, and 14 water buffaloes provide additional water.

To meet mission demand, Ramstein adjusted nonessential base services, canceled routine medical appointments and postponed leadership courses, such as Noncommissioned Officer Academy, First Term Airman Course and Airmen Leadership School, to free up additional manpower to sustain the operation.

Ramstein is strategically located near U.S. Army units, many of which have provided resources, equipment and personnel to assist the operation. U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz Command Sgt. Major Stephen LaRocque said the garrison is acting as a facilitator by bringing teams together to accomplish the mission.

The U.S. Army’s 21st Theater Sustainment Command provided hundreds of Soldiers from the 16th Sustainment Brigade; two 30th Medical Brigade treatment teams; biometric support from the 18th Military Police Brigade; and 120 Soldiers from the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command to aid security operations. Additionally, medical care teams from Landstuhl Regional Medical Center are providing around-the-clock emergency medical care.

Local helping agencies such as the American Red Cross and USO, and good Samaritans in the KMC First Sergeant council, mobilized to source donations and volunteers. An outpouring of generosity swept across the Kaiserslautern Military Community, so much so that the Base Exchange says they must

As the thousands arrive in clusters, medical teams and helping agencies are among the first to greet evacuees before settling into temporary quarters. The wing made sure that culture, dietary restrictions and religious support were integrated into the planning and execution. Prayer tents offer a quiet space, and Chaplain (Capt.) Mir Ali – one of only five imams in the Air Force – blesses thousands of meals daily.

Evacuees remain on the installation as they

transit through Germany.

The pod cities are a bustle of activity, mostly stemming from energetic children challenging airmen to soccer matches.

Several military volunteers dedicate time to keep the youngsters engaged and busy.

This historic mission comes as the world grapples with an ongoing pandemic. The base is taking appropriate security and health protection measures to protect the safety and well-being of the evacuees and members of the community.

Health From Page B10 in virtual mental health care, there are challenges providers should consider when conducting virtual visits.

“While telehealth does improve access to care, there are challenges such as connectivity issues, and the very real issue of protecting patient privacy,” Chow said. “There are even concerns on how providers who work from home present themselves virtually and how that may impact the virtual visit. These are things we are taking into consideration to provide the best care.”

The Covid-19 pandemic not only changed the delivery of mental health care, but also the demand for mental health care support for frontline providers who were

deployed to overwhelmed civilian hospitals across the country.

Chow described how providers across the globe experienced high levels of psychological distress during the initial months of the pandemic.

Studies identified things like increased contact with affected patients and prolonged quarantine were key risk factors for mental health effects among providers.

Behavioral health specialists with the 60th Medical Group at Travis Air Force Base, California, deployed between June 2020 and February 2021 as part of the Coronavirus Disease Theater Hospital-1 Task Force.

The team presented their experience supporting frontline providers, the challenges they faced, and what they did to best support these providers.

They found that frontline providers were experi-

encing a range of mental health concerns, including acute stress and burnout.

Staff Sgt. Martina Shannon-Young, a behavioral health technician with the 60th Medical Group, noted that providers who had to deliver end-of-life messages to family who could not be with the patient experienced high amounts of compassion fatigue.

“I had one nurse tell me he had to hold the iPad for one of his patients so the family could say goodbye,” Shannon-Young said. “So you have this instance where, as a provider, you are being overly empathetic and giving so much of yourself. This is where this compassion fatigue sets in. This is on top of the burnout with long hours, working in layers of personal protective equipment, and seeing a high volume of patients.”

To mitigate some of the psychological

long hours in personal protective equipment or experienced tension headaches,” Smith said. “There are several studies that have shown the effectiveness of battlefield acupuncture for sleep, stress and post-traumatic stress and trauma. We saw considerable success when we provided this procedure.”

Embedded mental health care was another significant theme of the weeklong conference. Col. Leigh Johnson, Mental Health Integrated Operational Support chief, presented on the Integrated Operational Support concept, which is a term used to describe all embedded medical assets within squadrons across the Air Force. There are currently more than 30 IOS programs across the Air Force.

“Our mission is to contribute to the greater Air Force mission,” Johnson

said. “We are responsible for extending medical support into operational environments for missions with special performance requirements or operational health concerns.”

By embedding, mental health providers can improve their understanding of operational demands by being more connected to units, reducing stigma associated with seeking mental health care and addressing mental health concerns early.

Mental Health providers stressed the importance of evolving to best use current mental health assets to meet future demands. One idea was to use a targeted care model to direct service members to the appropriate support, whether it is a mental health care provider, using mental health technicians or directing them to nonmedical support.

consequences frontline providers were experiencing, these behavioral health specialists began using some of the tactics used in a deployed environment.

This included command consultations, psychological first aid, operational stress control, post-traumatic stress prevention and leveraging technicians as provider extenders in this environment.

The behavioral health team led meditation classes and provided limited scope counseling on sleep hygiene, grief counseling, acute stress and healthy coping skills.
