High court lets anti-abortion law remain Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON – A sharply divided Supreme Court officially declined late Wednesday to halt a Texas law that effectively bans abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, meaning the law will remain in force while a coalition led by abortion providers pursues a legal challenge to strike it down. In a 5-4 decision handed down just before midnight, the five members of the court’s conservative wing ruled that the providers had raised “serious concerns” about the constitutionality of the Texas law. But they said the “complex and novel” procedural questions raised by the unusual design of the law – in which private citizens would enforce it instead of state officials – meant the Supreme Court could not stop it from going into effect Wednesday. The ruling drew sharp rebukes in dissents from

the three justices on the court’s liberal wing, and one from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who pointed out how Texas lawmakers had designed the law just to evade such a preliminary judicial review. The four dissenters would have stopped the unprecedented law from taking effect, as Roberts put it, “so that the courts may consider whether a state can avoid responsibility for its laws in such a manner.” Instead, almost exactly 24 hours earlier, with the law taking effect and no word yet from the Supreme Court, most abortions became illegal in Texas under a law that conflicts with long-standing rulings that prohibit bans on abortion before viability, or the time when a fetus could survive outside the womb. “The Court has rewarded the State’s effort to delay federal review of a plainly unconstitutional statute, See Court, Page A8

MARE ISLAND — The Mare Island Naval Cemetery might be small, but it is overflowing with history. Everything from an accused murderess, people killed in an explosion thought to be the work of saboteurs, and Russians sailors can be found entombed at the military cemetery. The Genealogy Society of Vallejo-Benicia hosted a tour of the grounds Thursday for those who are part of the society, along with visitors. About 20 people came out to hear tales of those long gone. Mare Island’s cemetery is the oldest U.S. Navy cemetery in the country. The first burial was in 1856, according to tour guide Kyle Green, who was asked to provide the group with the history of the cemetery.

Los Angeles Times SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — President Joe Biden declared an emergency in California that will allow federal assistance for the Caldor fire, which has burned hundreds of structures and continues moving toward Nevada. The fire barreled toward Lake Tahoe for several days amid heavy winds. But that threat became one of many as the fire moved in other directions, including north toward Wrights

The story goes that the Russian console in San Fransisco left in 2010 but not before a Russian emissary saw the state of the Mare Island Cemetery and the markers for those four Russians, which were in poor shape. They went to the city and put in the proper paperwork, but it was a holiday weekend and no one got to it until later in the week. The city approved the new markers and went out to replace them but were shocked to find the work had already been done. Four shiny marble crosses replaced the old wooden ones over that holiday weekend. Needless to say, the actions were not exactly welcomed at the time. “It was upsetting because it was an American military

The first person buried was George Dowd, who died Feb. 11, 1856, aboard the USS Massachusetts. He was buried the next day in a service officiated by the Rev. Mr. Hunt from San Francisco. Among the approximately 900 buried here is the daughter of Francis Scott Key, who wrote the national anthem; murderess Lucy Lawson; and six Russian sailors who were laid to rest near the middle of the cemetery during the Civil War era. The Russian sailors served aboard the Bogatyr, the flagship of Admiral A.A. Popov’s Pacific Squadron that visited the Bay Area in 1863. They came to provide assistance to Union ships during our Civil War. Four of them died fighting a fire in San Francisco while they were stationed here.

of riding the bus when Art was the driver: “Two Tickets to Paradise” by Eddie Money, “Kiss You All Over” by Exile, “You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC and “Whenever I Call You Friend” by Kenny Loggins and Stevie Nicks. At Armijo, I also rode the sports bus for away basketball games when I played on the school teams from ninth to 11th grades. Once after Hogan of Vallejo beat us down, I had a flashback to Virginia as someone threw a brick at the bus and cracked a window. The 40-point thrashing on the court we received evidently wasn’t humiliating enough. In the I Grew Up In Fairfield Too Facebook group, many locals have shared about some of their favorite bus drivers during their formative years. Susan Flores: Around 1970, I remember missing my bus and getting busted for hitchhiking! Tom Mopas: Buck and Billie Cantwell, the husband and wife school bus driver team of the 1970s, were the nicest folks. My mom drove for the county and all were friends. Lisa Anglin: I remember the bus driver that got our bus stuck

under the crossing arms as a train started to pass on our way to Crystal one morning. Michelle de Mercado: Art Mattos always pretended to be driving us to Disneyland instead of school. Dan Monez: At Suisun Valley Elementary, the bus driver was Chief Wolf, a full-blooded Lakota Sioux. He was awesome! Jim Osada: Bernie Scholl was great. His route was south Suisun Valley and Green Valley. He drove a new dual rear axle bus, which was the length of an aircraft carrier. It had a radio in it and he played KFRC, I think. Lois Brabson: I remember our bus driver Keno pulling over very calmly, but suddenly. A wasp was stinging him over and over under his shirt. Great guy. Tammy Jennelle Day: Rocky drove us from Fairfield to Green Valley Middle School. He wore a black leather vest. When we would take the exit that ran along 80, he would drive on the wrong side of the road (not that anyone ever drove on that road). He was a rebel! We had so much fun; he was the coolest! Tanja Duncan: Rocky! I remember when all us kids were

excited when we got him. The bus drivers would sometimes rotate on the Dover Elementary route, circa 1978. He was so fun, taking corners hella fast while Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing” and other tunes blasted over the radio speakers. He loved to go fast. OMG, I can’t stop smiling now! Lisa Fermi: Art was such a good man. When kids would tease me about my glasses, I would take them off and get on the bus and I couldn’t see a thing! Art would always ask where my glasses were. I would tell him I didn’t need them anymore, to which he would reply, “That’s too bad because those glasses are really pretty.” He was just an angel. Brian Keith Gaddis Klein: Rocky used to get that bus up to 75 mph on the long straightaway passing Wooden Valley Winery. I don’t think that would go over very well these days.

Glitch adds 1,000 Covid cases to top of Solano reporting total Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The state has figured out why coronavirus reporting has been so off-track during this recent Covid surge – a glitch that on Wednesday added 1,044 cases to Solano County’s total. However, the cases date back into July, with only 160 cases since Monday’s update – taking the full count to 41,521, the county reported. Sill, that reflects a daily average of 80 new cases in those two days, and the 10-day average remained at 110. “Almost all of (the delayed reports) are from Kaiser Northern California,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, said in a phone interview. The reporting glitch was just recently discovered. PermanKaiser ente said in a statement released Thursday that the company is working with its technology vendor to ensure that the situation is resolved. The company said in the statement that it has made the data available through an alternate means while the situation was occurring, but did not include in the statement details about the alternate reporting. Matyas said the high number also helps to explain why the hospitals have been so affected by the latest surge. Wednesday’s hospitalization total was 128, down

15 from Monday. The number of those who were in intensive care units dropped from 42 to 39, Matyas reported. The full measure of cases pushed Vallejo past 12,000 cases, Fairfield past 11,000 cases, Suisun City past 2,900 cases, Dixon past 2,300 cases and Benicia past 1,300 cases, the county reported. There were also three new Covid-related deaths reported: a woman over 65; a man over 65; and a man between 50 and 65. One individual was homeless and very ill, who died in a hospital. The other two also were very ill, died in the hospital, but had lived at home. All three were unvaccinated. The deaths take the pandemic total to 273 in Solano County. Vaccination rates did increase with 62% of residents 12 or older having been fully vaccinated, up from 61%. The county reports 75% (up from 74%) of that population has received at least one vaccine shot. Matyas said the latest reports also show that as many as 250 students have tested positive, the vast majority of whom were exposed to the virus at home. The active cases dropped from 1,097 to 1,056, and the seven-day positivity testing rate was reported at 13.8%, down from 14.5%, the county reported. Vacaville had the most new cases added

Vallejo (12,204) added 294 cases, and Fairfield (11,226) added 270, the county reported. Suisun City (2,921) added 51 cases; Dixon (2,310) added 48 cases; Benicia (1,319) added 43; Rio Vista (518) added 13; and the three new cases in the unincorporated area took the total to 138, the county reported. Matyas said he expects to see a downward trend in the near future, but another spike when the family holidays hit

this winter. That would be the same trend from last winter, just as this current surge also follows the 2020 trend from post-July 4. Solano County does not report case updates on Thursdays. The next update is scheduled late Friday afternoon. Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough.

Vallejo joins Benicia as county city to require Covid masks indoors Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — A united City Council this week reinstated its mask mandate for indoor public places. “Regardless of vaccination status, residents, workers and visitors must wear masks (face coverings) while indoors or in enclosed public spaces in the city of Vallejo,” a statement released by the city said. The council action was taken during a special meeting Tuesday and follows the Benicia council’s action for the same mandate in that city Aug. 24. Vallejo noted that the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco,

San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sonoma and the city of Berkeley have enacted mask mandates as well. Solano County Public Health has been under increased pressure to follow suit, including a call for action by Supervisor Erin Hannigan, who represents much of Vallejo. The matter is expected to come before the full Board of Supervisors in September. Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, said Wednesday he does not believe a mask mandate in public places will be all that effective against transmission since the data in his office strongly points to social settings as where the coronavirus is being spread from person to person.

The Vallejo mask mandate was put into effect immediately and will remain in place for six weeks. The City Council will reassess the situation at that time to determine whether to extend the mandate or lift it. Matyas said he expects the case rate to be quieter by that time, and said the council’s action was not unexpected. “I think in six weeks we will be off-peak and things will be quieter, but I fully think there will be another surge in November . . . just like last winter,” Matyas said. For more information on Covid-19 and the various variants, go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov), the state Department of Public

Health (www.cdph.ca.gov) or the Solano County Public Health (www.solanocounty.com/depts/ph/ default.asp) websites. Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death. The delta variant of the virus, which is currently dominant in the U.S., is highly transmissible with indications that asymptomatic individuals can spread the virus to others. The vast majority of people who contract the disease recover.

In brief Assembly clears bill to ‘streamline’ conveyance system

FAIRFIELD — Legislation proponents say a bill that will “streamline improvements to the state’s outdated central water delivery system” has cleared both houses of the state Legislature. “Water is the lifeblood of our state and we must keep it flowing to our communities and farmers,” Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, said in a statement. “My bill will help get that done while saving time and money.” The State Water Project dates back 60 years. Senate Bill 626 authorizes the Department of Water Resources “to streamline the contractor selection process to get the most qualified experts at the lowest cost,” the Dodd statement said. The bill, which had already passed the Senate, cleared the Assembly on Monday. It goes back to the Senate to review on changes, and if approved, will go to Gov. Gavin Newsom for consideration.

Cal Maritime will replace trees lost VALLEJO — Cal Maritime cadets will be planting more than two dozen native trees Saturday to replace trees lost to the Glen Cove Fire nearly two years ago. “This is the first step in the university’s plan to not only replace the lost native trees, but double its tree count on campus. The campus community will be involved in the planting event with help from the Arbor Day Foundation,” the California State University Maritime

Academy announced in a statement. The event, which is open to the public, is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. and will take place near Faculty Drive, next to Bodner Field. Parking is available in the lot south McAllister Resof idence Hall. Nine vehicles, a maintenance shed, equipment and a storage containers were lost to the fire along with the trees along the hillside at the east edge of the Vallejo campus near the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge over the Carquinez Strait. The blaze burned about 140 acres in Solano County, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported.

Deanna Eleanor Bruce Aug. 21, 1946 - Aug. 12, 2021

D e a n n a Eleanor (Richman) Bruce, 74, of Reno, Nevada, passed away on Aug. 12, 2021, at her residence. Deanna was born on Aug. 21, 1946, in San Francisco, California, to Donald Andrew Richman and Dorothy Eleanor (Martin) Richman. She graduated from Hillsdale High School in San Mateo in 1964 and soon became a homemaker. Deanna moved to Fairfield in 1969 to live with her cousin. She was able to establish herself in Solano County with her three young girls and eventually decided to settle in Suisun City. In 1973 Deanna completed her family and added a fourth girl to the mix. Although she was a single parent, Deanna was able to complete course work at Solano College, earning a degree in Early Childhood Development. Soon after, she started an at-home daycare business. Because she never drove a car, she was often seen walking her daycare kids up and down Main Street to and from school, to the park, or to the old Suisun Market. In 1979 she met Ed Bruce, a single dad himself. They married in 1984 and enjoyed many years of traveling, with multiple

trips to Hawaii, several cruises, and countless camping trips. When Ed retired, they sold their home and bought a motor home to continue their love of adventure. When life slowed down and traveling ended, mom found her escape in scrapbooking. She created 100’s of treasured books over the years. Her daughters found delight, and tears, while flipping through thousands of pages that she carefully and thoughtfully created. Deanna loved spending time with her family, enjoyed a good casino and loved to yell ‘Bingo!’. Deanna is survived by her husband, Ed; stepdaughter, Wendy; loving daughters, Debbie Bast, Kathy Garcia, Tammy (Schultz) Hall (Vern) and Robin Schultz; grandchildren, Sara Snyder, Hall, Ashley Trisha Schaffer, Trevor Hall, Jessie Bast, Katie Parisette; and numerous great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Dorothy Richman. Deanna will be laid to rest at the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery. A celebration of Deanna’s life will be held at a later date.

Bill Dodd, D-Napa, that would improve internet connectivity by removing local government roadblocks to the expansion of broadband service, especially for those in low-income and underserved communities. “The pandemic has clearly elevated our understanding that broadband access is essential for participating in every aspect of modern society,” Dodd said in a press release. “Yet too many households across the state can’t get it because it’s not available where they live. Today we take a big step toward addressing that problem by bringing local government into compliance with federal standards that will ultimately help close the digital divide.”

the state have shifted to virtual participation, highlighting disparities of access faced by many low-income families and people of color, according to the press release. Nearly 42% of California families said unreliable internet access was a challenge for them during distance learning, according to a recent poll by EdSource and FM3 Research. SB 556 is supported by businesses, schools and equity groups, according to the press release from Dodd’s office. It passed the Assembly after previously being approved by the state Senate. The bill heads to Gov. Gavin Newsom for his consideration after Senate concurrence. “For too long, California has let self-interested parties place roadblocks on the path to universal broadband access. The

pandemic made plain the costs of inaction and very few bore the burden more heavily than students these past 18 months,” said California School Boards Association CEO and Executive Director Vernon M. Billy in a press release. “As schools continue to prepare students for the workplaces of the future, implement multiple modes of instruction and engagement, and navigate independent study and quarantines, it is imperative that all students have reliable internet. CSBA supports SB 566 because it will expedite deployment of broadband infrastructure in rural and low-income communities and help ensure that all students have access to a full range of quality academic and social programs.” Dodd represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes Solano County among other counties in the region.

Garamendi secures funds for Travis base Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, voted Thursday to pass the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act in the House Armed Services Committee in Washington. The legislation provides the legal authority for all aspects of the United States military, including all personnel, installations and equipment used in national defense. The final legislation passed the House Armed Services Committee by a vote of 57-2 and now heads to the House floor for consideration. Garamendi, chairman of the Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, formally added the Readiness Subcommittee’s provisions to the full legislation at the committee hearing. He secured funding in the legislation for several projects at Travis and Beale Air Force bases, both located in his 3rd Congressional District. The legislation includes $114 million for runway

improvements at Travis Air Force Base as well as $33 million for Beale’s 940 Air RefuWing eling Squad Operations and John Garamendi Maintenance Complex in Yuba County. Garamendi helped secure $20 million in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance planning and design funds to help build facilities like the Multi-Domain Operations Complex, which Garamendi’s staff said in a press release is critical to the continued operations at Beale. “While I am disappointed that the committee voted to increase the Defense Department budget by $23.9 billion over the president’s budget, I am pleased that we have once again come together to address critical issues facing our service members and the more than 1,000 military installations worldwide,” Garamendi said in

a press release. “As chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee, I worked to build upon previous efforts during my tenure as chair to require the military to be an ally in the fight against the climate crisis, and to take the necessary steps to protect bases and service members from the effects of climate change,” Garamendi said in a press release. “I also built upon previous Readiness Subcommittee bills to aggressively address PFAS contamination around military installations that harm our service members and neighboring communities. This issue is close to home for me, as PFAS contaminants were found at Travis Air Force Base in my district.” PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. They are a group of manmade chemicals that have been manufactured and used in a variety of industries around the globe, including in the U.S., since the 1940s. There is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects,

according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The chemicals are found in a wide range of consumer products that people use daily such as cookware, pizza boxes and stain repellants, according to the EPA. Some of the chemicals can accumulate and stay in the human body for long periods of time. The National Defense Authorization Act, Garamendi said in the press release, “includes strong provisions to address the precipitous rise in military training deaths we’ve witnessed throughout the service branches in recent years.” Garamendi has held three hearings on this matter as chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee, including a May 2021 hearing that included what he described in the press release as “powerful testimony from bereaved families of service members who were lost due to preventable training mishaps.” The Readiness Subcommittee’s contributions to the National Defense Authoriza-

tion Act would transform what Garamendi described in the press release as “the culture of neglect into a culture of safety by establishing a joint safety council and mishap investigation review board to provide oversight of training mishaps and enact policies to prevent further incidents in the future.” Garamendi said the defense legislation also includes what he characterized as “strong language” to assess child care facility needs throughout the military. “And it also fights to provide service members and their families with proper recourse if they have been subjected to substandard on-base living conditions,” he said in the press release. There were also two amendments that Garamendi offered to slow the development of the Ground Base Strategic Deterrent. He said the program is an “unnecessary and costly mistake at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer, and further precipitates the modern nuclear arms race between the United States, Russia and China.”

Bay Area air pollution advisory continues for another day Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The second day of a two-day air quality advisory for Solano County and the Bay Area remains in place Friday due to highlevel smoke. That smoke, from wildfires in Northern California, is predicted to once again cause hazy and smoky skies across the Bay Area. Pollution levels are not expected to exceed

federal health standards and no air pollution warning – known as a Spare the Air Alert – is in effect. However, smoke may mix to the surface at times to cause intermittent and isolated pockets of elevated pollution levels, the district reports. Air quality is expected to be in the good to moderate range on the Air Quality Index. The air district will monitor air quality throughout the region for smoke impacts from the wildfires.

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. 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

Emergency loans available for Solano farmers, ranchers Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Extreme drought conditions have led Solano County to be one of 50 California counties included in a U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretarial Disaster Designation. This designation makes emergency farm loans of up to $500,000 available to farmers and ranchers who have suffered physical or crop production losses as a direct result of the drought. The deadline to apply is Nov. 5. For more informa-

tion, visit https://bit. ly/3eMYuxR or call the Solano County AgriDepartment culture at 784-1310. When a tornado, flood or drought strikes, or a quarantine is imposed by the Secretary of Agriculture, or when other natural disasters occur, the emergency loan program is available to help eligible farmers and ranchers rebuild and recover from sustained losses. The emergency loan program is triggered when a natural disaster is designated by the Secretary of Agriculture or a natural disaster or emer-

gency is declared by the president under the Stafford Act. These loans help producers who suffer qualifying farm-related losses directly caused by the disaster in a county declared or designated as a primary disaster or quarantine area. Also, farmers located in counties that are contiguous to the declared, designated or quarantined area may qualify for emergency loans. For production losses, a 30% reduction in a primary crop in a designated or contiguous county is required.

Elder dominates state GOP field Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO — A new poll shows the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom is struggling but that conservative talk show host Larry Elder is dominating the Republican field to replace him. Here is the new poll by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of

California: Among likely voters, 26% favor Elder, compared with 5% for former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and 3% each

for the Rocklin Assemblyman Kevin Kiley and the Rancho Sante Fe businessman John Cox, whom Newsom trounced in the 2018 race.

My comment is about your response to “Missing Life and Happiness,” who has been married for over 25 years to a man who turns his back on her in every way possible, basically treating her as a disgusting part of his life. I agree that she should focus on herself, enrich her life and improve her selfesteem. However, I believe she needs to do more than discuss issues with her husband. She has put up with this for too long. I don’t believe she should waste even one more second allowing that evil person in her life. From her description, it doesn’t sound possible for him to change how he treats her. It’s time to remove him and move on! — Jane G. Dear Jane: You’re not the only reader who thought I should have told “Missing Life and Happiness” that enough was enough. I wanted to let her reach her own decision about her marriage, and I was trying to encourage her to get into a good headspace for evaluating things. Perhaps I should have worded my response more strongly, as I agree with you: The way her husband has been treating her is unacceptable. Thank you for writing.

Spears won’t face battery charge over housekeeper allegation Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears won’t face a criminal charge over a battery accusation from her housekeeper after the Ventura County District Attorney office found there was insufficient evidence because of a “lack of injury to the housekeeper or significant damage to the phone.” District Attorney Erik Nasarenko made the announcement Wednesday after what he describes as a thorough review of the Aug. 16 incident by the supervisor of the misdemeanor crimes unit. The District Attorney’s office said the incident stemmed from an argument between Spears and the housekeeper over the care

of Spears’ dog. The housekeeper contacted deputies and filed a report accusing the pop star of slapping the phone out of her hand. The allegation came with Spears in the middle of an epic court battle over her conservatorship. “To its credit, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office has now formally rejected the misdemeanor allegation against Britney Spears, which the Sheriff’s Department itself acknowledged has was a ‘very minor’ or ‘extremely minor’ incident, even as alleged, and there also was no striking and obviously no injuries,” Mathew Rosengart, the singer’s attorney, said in a statement. The housekeeper couldn’t be reached for comment.

even with a reduction in wind conditions, according to officials. “This is where we have a lot of focus,” said Beale Monday, a spokesman with the California Department of Forestry and Fore Protection, or Cal Fire. “All of our resource focus on this side is all broken up into structure protection, and trying to skirt that fire away from the valuables at risk and the communities down here.” Monday said crews were laying bulldozer lines on the east side of Pioneer Trail and on the west side of Truckee Drive in an effort to keep flames away from South Lake Tahoe. Crews were also removing brush and debris from the side of the highways in the event that they have to ignite a backfire, he said. Officials were considering opportunities to build a “catcher’s mitt” beyond the immediate fire lines and into Nevada to stop the fire’s march east, he said. At Heavenly ski resort straddling the state border, containment lines made with bulldozers appeared to be keeping the fire at bay. However, on the northern side of the wildfire, flames remained active near the picturesque Desolation Wilderness and Wrights Lake.

From Page One remained threatened. Tens of thousands of people had been forced from their homes. Among the evacuees at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center on Thursday was Paul Brooks, 64, of Roseville. Brooks said he left his home near Sacramento due to wildfire smoke and rented a hotel room in South Lake Tahoe, where he figured the air was cleaner. Four days later, he was forced to evacuate. Inside the convention center, he said he’s seen people break down. Some get frustrated because they want to return home. “But they can’t because of the situation,” he said. “People are becoming stir crazy, so I try to keep a positive attitude.” Brooks considers himself an environmentalist and said he believes that disasters such as damaging fires and floods will persist if people don’t start taking better care of their surroundings. “On the East Coast, it will be ‘row, row your boat’ and on the West, ‘the roof, the roof is on fire,’” he said. The fire’s eastern flank remains a top concern,

From Page One cemetery with Russian tombstones that were replaced without authorization and they were in Russian,” Green said. The two other Russians died of disease. Their grave markers have also been replaced, but at a later date. There was an explosion on Mare Island during World War II that killed several people who were laid to rest in the cemetery. The explosion was questioned at the time and it was concluded that it was the work of German saboteurs. “This might also have been an investigation that was really hushed up,” Green said. The tale of Lucy Lawson is a bloody one. Lawson, an accused murderess, was convicted of paying a man $50 to murder her husband in 1875. “He beat her,” Green said of Lawson’s husband. She was sentenced to hang. When the first of her co-conspirators was hung, the rope broke. The executioner was successful on his second attempt, but by then, evidence arose that one of the witnesses who had testified against Lawson was a disgruntled ex-lover. She

The Texas law bans abortions if a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which occurs around the sixth week of pregnancy. Many patients may not know they are pregnant until after a heartbeat can be found. About 85 percent to 90 percent of Texas abortions occur after six weeks of pregnancy. The Texas legislature did not set up a typical

But lasting damage to infrastructure appeared far less this time. Only 170,000 homes and businesses remained without electricity by noon Eastern time Thursday, according to PowerOutage.us. Airports were open, though at reduced capacity. Officials promised to have subways running at something like normal service by the evening. But the storm and its death toll are grim reminders that as the climate changes, weather once considered freakish strikes with regularity, threatening the viability of all coastal economic centers. “The future threat we spoke about in dire terms, that future is now – it’s happening,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a briefing Thursday. “We’re losing lives, we’re losing property and we can’t continue down this path.” The summer has already brought deadly flooding in Tennessee and Germany, heat waves shattering all-time temperature records in western Canada, and wildfires raging in California and Greece.

Kyle Green leads a tour of the Mare Island Naval Cemetery in Vallejo, Thursday. eventually was pardoned. She took a job as a nanny for the family of Commodore Stacy Potts. When the family moved to Mare Island, she came along and was buried there in 1919 after serving for 35 years. Her brother, who assisted in the murder and was released later on his death bed, confessed that they did indeed murder the husband. The cemetery took its place in in 1975 on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the Mare Island Naval Ammunition Depot Historic District. John Watson, president of the Genealogy Society of Vallejo-Benicia, said he was glad to see a nice turnout Thursday. “This is the first time we have done a tour of the

cemetery,” he said. “With Covid, we aren’t doing tours as much.” The last tour they did was in Benicia at the Camel Barn. “This is a great way to learn about the cemetery,” Watson said. Lynda and David Elkins of Fairfield, who are members of the genealogy society, had not been to the cemetery for 20 years and said they were happy with the improvements that were recently done by the Department of Veterans Affairs. David Elkins said he heard the story of the Russians being buried in the cemetery and was interested in the story. “Mare Island was spectacular in the day,” he said. Elkins used to work for

the city of Vallejo and had the keys to the gates. “This is a huge improvement,” he said. Information on those buried in the cemetery is provided in a mailbox at the entrance to the cemetery, along with a large map. The cemetery is located on the grounds of the old Mare Island Naval Shipyard on Blake Avenue at the southeast end of the island, beyond a locked gate. Access is limited. The gate is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Mare Island Historic Park Foundation holds the key. Contact the Mare Island Naval Historical Museum at 280-5742 for more information about the cemetery.

system where state officials would enforce the law, such as making abortion a crime. Instead, the law allows private citizens to sue abortion physicians, providers, patient support networks and anyone who supports someone getting an abortion, even by driving them to a clinic. Any individual can bring suit in any Texas court if they suspect someone “aided” in an abortion. The plaintiff would receive a $10,000 “bounty” in the event of a guilty verdict. That structure, along with legal action at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, meant the coalition of abortion providers had to take the unusual step of asking the

Supreme Court to stop the law before any court had done so. The Supreme Court leaned heavily on that procedural wonkiness to decide to let the law go into effect despite the concerns about whether it is constitutional. Federal courts can’t stop the implementation of laws themselves, the majority wrote, only the individuals tasked with enforcing those laws. “And it is unclear whether the named defendants in this lawsuit can or will seek to enforce the Texas law against the applicants in a manner that might permit our intervention,” the court’s decision states. The state represented that it and its employees

do not have the authority to enforce the Texas law, the Supreme Court said. It is not clear whether the court can issue an injunction to prevent state judges from deciding lawsuits under the law. And no private citizen has tried to enforce the law in a case before the court. “In reaching this conclusion, we stress that we do not purport to resolve definitively any jurisdictional or substantive claim in the applicant’s lawsuit,” the Supreme Court wrote. “In particular, this order is not based on any conclusion about the constitutionality of Texas’s law, and in no way limits other procedurally proper challenges to the Texas law, including in Texas state courts.”

east likely pushed the storm’s overall economic losses and damages into the $50 billion to $60 billion range, said Chuck Watson, a disaster modeler with Enki Research. This would place it fifth on the list of the most costly hurricanes to hit the U.S., behind Katrina, Harvey, Maria and Sandy. Its path through the Northeast had been predicted for days, but its strength was a surprise. The storm collided with the jet stream at the hottest time of the day, when the air was already unstable, said Zack Taylor, a meteorologist with the U.S. Weather Prediction Center. An area from eastern Pennsylvania to southern New England, including New York, got as much as 8 inches of rain in a few hours. In Central Park, 3.15 inches fell in one hour, setting a record, Taylor said. “It was the perfect set-up for extreme rainfall, and unfortunately, it happened over one of the most populous corridors of the United States,” Taylor said. Most residents didn’t see it coming, sometimes with fatal consequences. On the Gulf Coast, Ida killed at least five people. In the Northeast, a weakened storm killed at least eight times that many. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio early Thursday said the storm killed people “who were alive at this exact moment yesterday, with no idea that such a horrible fate could befall them,” he said. In

the borough of Queens, three members of the same family died in their basement apartment. By afternoon, officials said the city’s death toll had reached 13 and could climb. In Hillsborough Township, New Jersey, where many roads remained submerged, Gov. Phil Murphy said the storm had claimed at least 23 lives across his state. Most died in vehicles, he said. Four people were found dead in an Elizabeth apartment complex. Residents said Thursday that the water rose rapidly. “It was terrible,” said Yvette Baker, 34. “The water was so high. They had one rowboat trying to save all these people. People were screaming for help.” Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, officials reported three deaths. In Connecticut, a state police sergeant was swept away by flood waters. Thirteen miles outside Manhattan in Nutley, New Jersey, a town of about 28,000, a stretch of the business district became inundated as a tributary to the Passaic River overflowed its banks. Franklin Avenue, lined with Italian bakeries and pizzerias, doctor offices and a Dollar Tree, became a raging river, stranding motorists, sending debris crashing through the window of a vacant pork store and flooding businesses. Mark Vitiello, 51, showed up at his bakery at 3 a.m. to find an abandoned car in his entrance

and about a foot of water in his kitchen. “I’ve been here my whole life and this is the worst I’ve ever seen,” said Vitiello, the third generation of his family to own the local landmark. Some in low-lying areas fled their homes. Danny Calle, 40, and his 3-month-old daughter, Jolene, were rescued by emergency workers in an inflatable raft who came to their flooded Cranford, New Jersey, home about 10 a.m. Thursday. “It happened so quick,” said the U.S. Customs and Border Protection employee. “I’m grabbing diapers, grabbing formula, grabbing onesies. I’m a new dad, so I’m just grabbing everything.” The storm flooded the basements of many businesses and homes in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, said Chi Ossé, a Democratic candidate for City Council. “It is mostly black and brown folks or working-class folks who are dealing with the flooding right now,” he said. Across the region, the storm’s battering created doubt and wonder about what would come next. Rachael Francique from East Flatbush in Brooklyn stopped at the edge of Prospect Park’s Playground Three on Thursday morning to see it lying under 3 feet of water. “This is New York City?” she said to her 14-month-old. “It looks like a lake. This does not look healthy at all.”

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, September 3, 2021 A9

Hurricane Larry forecast to be Category 4 Tribune Content Agency FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Hurricane Larry has been intensifying steadily and, by Thursday afternoon, had grown slightly larger, according to the National Hurricane Center. Larry is forecast to develop rapidly into a major hurricane with top winds reaching up to 140 mph.

Biden’s booster plan has a fight Tribune Content Agency Medical experts who advise U.S. regulators on vaccines are chafing at what they perceive as political interference in the review process by the Biden administration. Last month, the White House announced plans to begin distributing Covid-19 booster shots to Americans Sept. 20. However, the effort still needs the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to sign off. Members of a key panel that advises the CDC on vaccines have pushed back consideration of the plan to mid-September and said this week they were concerned that politics was getting ahead of the process. It’s “very frightening to me that health-care providers are trying to do the best job that they can, and are taking guidance from HHS and the White House,” said Helen Talbot, a Vanderbilt University professor of medicine and member of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, in a meeting Monday. Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE, makers of one of the two vaccines included in the booster plan, filed for authorization for the extra shot last month. Moderna Inc. applied for clearance late Wednesday. Some short-term data from Israel supports the use of booster shots. Yet the public push by the White House to get a rollout underway has raised concerns the administration is rushing ahead without enough data and regulatory oversight, said Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Meanwhile, European health authorities said there’s no urgent need for wide use of boosters, although some countries are offering them. “I would be very surprised if the CDC recommended a third dose of the vaccine to the general population,” said Offit, a former member of the CDC’s advisory panel of outside experts that evaluates vaccine data for the agency. Biden first described the booster plan in a statement signed by the top health professionals.

especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death. The delta variant of the virus, which is currently dominant in the U.S., is highly transmissible with indications that asymptomatic individuals can spread the virus to others. The vast majority of people who contract the disease recover.

Larry, the fifth hurricane of the season, formed early Thursday and is expected strengthen into a major hurricane, with winds of at least 111 mph, by late Friday, the hurricane center said. By Sunday night, its maximum sustained winds are forecast to reach 140 mph, putting it at Category 4 strength. Larry is coalescing in the eastern central Atlantic, an area where storms tend to form

during peak season, which runs mid-August through October. It’s currently on a path west over the central Atlantic, in the general direction of the U.S. However, it is forecast to make a gradual turn to the westnorthwest Friday night, before slowing in speed on Saturday, according to the hurricane center’s five-day forecast outlook. Beyond that, it’s too early to tell where it may head.

Forecasters say conditions support rapid development. Located roughly 765 miles off the west coast of Africa as of 5 p.m. EDT Thursday, its hurricane-force winds extended out up to 25 miles from its center and its tropical-storm-force winds extended up to 160 miles. If Larry develops into a major hurricane as forecast, it would be the third of the season, along with Grace, a Category 3,

and Ida, a Category 4. There are only five years in the satellite era, which began in 1966, that had three major hurricanes by Sept. 4: 2008, 2005, 2004, 1996 and 1969, according to Colorado State University hurricane expert Phil Klotzbach. Meanwhile, forecasters are watching two other areas for potential major storm development.

Young Falcons face season with essentially new team Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

ROCKVILLE — “Who’s on first?” wouldn’t apply to a soccer squad, but for the Solano Community College women’s team, “Who’s on the roster?” is an appropriate question. No matter who Falcons coach Jeff Cardinal puts on the pitch, it will be a lineup seriously lacking in experience at the community college level. His only returning starter is sophomore forward Keana Flynn of Vanden High School with sophomore midfielder/ forward Savannah Crews of Bethel the only player back from 2019.

“We are young and only have two returners,” said Cardinal, who is entering his 21st year as SCC coach. “Previous seasons we had many more sophomores with experience.” That’s not to say the Falcons, who were 13-6-3 overall, 12-1-1 while finishing second in the Bay Valley Conference in 2019, don’t have talent. Among the freshmen Cardinal is counting on to make an impact are forwards Dakota Marin of Vacaville and Shane-Nicole Sheppard of Buckingham Charter, midfielders Ximena Rodriguez of Armijo (allMEL 2020 and 2021) and

Kayla Herman of Rodriguez (all-MEL 2020), m i d f i e l d e r/d e f e n d e r Amber Morales of Colusa and goalkeepers Fatima Guzman of Winters, Jessica Biasotti of Wood and Bailey Erbland of Vacaville, all-MEL 2021. Others new to the team include defenders Paulina Rubio, Lenaye Ringler and Katherine Umana, all of Armijo, and defenders Jocelyn Pantoja of Fairfield, Lauriana Singh of Armijo, Adriana Mendoza of Armijo, Alexandria Castellanos of Dixon, Taylor Alvarez of Buckingham Charter and Isabel Martinez of Vanden. Like nearly every other community college

team in the state, Solano had its 2020 season wiped out by the Covid-19 pandemic with no makeup in the spring. “Obviously, (it) wasn’t easy not playing last year, but we adjusted to what it was,” Cardinal said. With so many players new to the program, the coach said goals for the season “are still being decided by the team, however we usually have a goal to win conference and make playoffs.” Coaching with Cardinal, who is 220120-38 overall and 166-31-17 in conference play with 15 playoff appearances at Solano, are Sissi Do Amor and Kevin Marks.

SAN FRANCISCO — Amid their worst week of the season, the Giants turned to their best pitcher to salvage an otherwise miserable series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Logan Webb was a savior after all. With help from a four-run eighth-inning rally that featured a RBI double from Darin Ruf and a three-run home run from Thairo Estrada, Webb and the Giants clawed their way to a 5-1 win and snapped their losing streak at four games. The victory pulled the Giants (85-49) into a tie for first place with the Dodgers (85-49) in the National League West and set up high-stakes three-game weekend series at Oracle Park a day after San Francisco fell into second place for the first time in more than three months. “What a series to be tied and to be here in September when a lot of people probably didn’t think we’d be in this

Week 3 prep football capsules When: Today, 7 p.m. Where: Brownlee Field, Armijo High Series: Armijo leads 1-0 Last meeting: 1982, Armijo won 6-0 Last week: Armijo lost to Pioneer of Woodland, 44-6; Mission lost to Oakland Tech, 49-0 Of note: The Royals will be celebrating Alumni/Community Night with tailgating and food trucks to help with the pregame festivities. There will be no JV game with the varsity contest kicking off early at 7 p.m. . . . The Bears didn’t play in the spring and went 4-6-1 in the 2019. . . . The Royals had trouble stopping the run against Pioneer last week, allowing 251 yards overall and 10.5 yards per carry, according to maxpreps.com. They might have better luck against Mission, which was crushed in its opener by Oakland Tech, 49-0. . . . The previous meeting was in the 1982 season opener. The then Indians won the next week over Oakmont of Roseville, 9-7, then went 1-6-1 the rest of the season in Bill Nunes’ first year as head coach. Prediction: Armijo 30, Mission 6

Fairfield (0-0) vs. Vallejo (0-0) When: Today, 7:15 p.m. Where: Corbus Field, Vallejo High Series: Fairfield leads 22-21 Last meeting: 2019, Vallejo won, 24-20 Last week: Fairfield had its game with Bethel canceled because of Covid issues within the Jaguars program; Vallejo had a bye Of note: Both teams are playing their first game of the season, the Red Hawks by design – the North Coast Section started a week later than the Sac-Joaquin Section and Vallejo had a bye last week – while Fairfield had a bye on Aug. 20 and its game with Bethel was canceled. . . . It’s been more than three years since the Falcons last won a football game. Fairfield’s last victory was Aug. 24, 2018 against Vallejo at Corbus Field, a 28-26 thriller. Since then, the Falcons have lost 19 straight games with the 2019 squad arguably the worst in school history, giving up the most points (446) while scoring the fewest (47, only 27 over the final nine games) and putting together their first 0-10 campaign. They didn’t play in the spring

because of a lack of upperclassmen at the varsity level, choosing to play JVs only to focus on building the program for the future. . . . Vallejo went 0-2 in the spring, losing to Rodriguez and Bethel. The Red Hawks were 4-6 in 2019. . . . Outside of Armijo (54) and Vacaville (48), the Falcons have played Vallejo more times (43) than anyone else. If you go: Take Interstate 80 west to Vallejo and exit at Redwood Street. Go west on Redwood to Tuolumne Street and turn left. Go south on Tuolumne to Nebraska Street and turn right. Look for the school and Corbus Field on the right at 840 Nebraska Street. Prediction: Vallejo 28, Farifield 20

position,” Ruf said. Webb matched his career-high with 10 strikeouts over seven dominant innings, but exited in line for a no-decision Thursday as the Giants only scored one run while the right-hander was on the mound. The Giants needed a late offensive explosion and it came when the Brewers turned to right-hander Devin Williams, who posted a 0.00 ERA in 14 appearances en route to being named the National League’s Reliever of the Month in August. Williams was on the mound when MLB announced the honor, but he struggled with his command on Thursday as he walked Kris Bryant and Brandon Belt before giving up a two-out double into the left-field corner to Ruf, who had lined out with two outs and a runner in scoring position twice in the series. “If I hung my hat every time I lined out or See Giants, Page B10

In an ideal world for the A’s, Frankie Montas gets the third out in the seventh inning. Not only would that have secured Montas’ third straight seveninning start at a time when Oakland’s rotation is collectively struggling to notch quality innings, but it could have prevented a sequence that required manager Bob Melvin to use his over-taxed, high-leverage bullpen arms in a game that could have been a laugher. The Oakland A’s 8-6 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon at Comerica Park began with the A’s taking an eightrun lead after four innings and ended with Sergio Romo closing out Detroit’s valiant attempt

to come back. Still, it’s a series win fresh off a six-game losing streak hoping to gain momentum heading into Toronto to play a tough Blue Jays team. “Baseball happens. We have short term memory,” Tony Kemp said. “We don’t worry about those series losses. We keep moving forward.” Montas continued his hot streak, holding the Tigers to one earned run on Harold Castro’s home run through six innings. He distributed his fastball, slider and splitter evenly to keep the Tigers off balance, incurred a healthy 16 whiffs total. He also got some help from Elvis Andrus, who chopped down Victor Reyes at home trying to score on See A’s, Page B10

Vanden outlasts Rodriguez, wind, setting sun FAIRFIELD — Thanks to four three-set matches, three of which included tie-breakers, it wasn’t until the sun was setting that visiting Vanden finished off its 6-3 Monticello Empire League girls tennis victory over Rodriguez, Thursday. In singles, Maya Khanna rallied for a 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-2 victory at No. 1, Sasha Smith prevailed by default at No. 2 after a 0-6, 6-2, 5-5 battle with Riley Mark, and Delaney Ramsell held on for a 6-2, 5-7, 7-6 (3) win at No. 3.

Vanden’s No. 3 doubles team of Kamsi Omwuazombe and Kalyse Payne won 6-2, 6-2. “This was a crazy match between the wind and the number of extremely close matches,” Vanden coach Stan Lewis said. “The entire match took almost 4 hours. Both teams played well and extremely hard and we were fortunate to come out on top to get our second win.” For Rodriguez, Hannah Pierleoni bounced back from a second-set loss to win, 7-6, (3), 1-6, 7-6 (5) at No. 5 singles. Tie-breakers also figured in the Mustangs’ two doubles wins as Julianna Roxas and Shayla Prasad won 7-6 (7), 6-4 at

Solano Community College volleyball team went the distance in its two matches in the Folsom Lake Classic but came up empty with 3-2 losses to College of the Sequoias and Folsom Lake College, Wednesday. In the 18-25, 25-15, 28-26, 26-24, 15-13 loss to Sequoias, Mylei Moli and Sammy Brown both led with 16 kills apiece, Dani Rydord contributed 12 kills. Chris RidneyCruz led with 2 blocks, Kailyn Kaiser led the defense with 14 digs, serving 16 of 16 with two aces, Anaya Rodriguez led with 28 assists and Jeryn Baldonado added 25 assists and 13 digs. “Our offense did just fine at the net and blocking,” Falcons coach Darla Williams said. “. . . We just didn’t execute from

the service line, missing 17 serves as a team. The last three sets were all won or lost by two points. We could have used those two points in the end.” In the equally close 25-19, 25-23, 24-26, 19-25, 15-5 loss to Folsom Lake, Brown led the offense with 16 kills with 18 digs, Kaiser chipped in 16 digs, Ridney-Cruz served 11 of 11 with two aces and added four blocks, Rodriguez and Rydjord both added nine kills, Rodriguez led with 23 assists and Baldonado added 22 assists. “It was a long day, with 10 sets played,” Williams said. “As long as we learn and improve, that is the expectations before we hit conference play. I purposely set up a very difficult pre-season so we can be ready for conference.”

Employers agreed to compensate, with medical care and cash payments, employees who suffer work-related illnesses and injuries as an “exclusive remedy,” thereby protecting employers from individual lawsuits for disabilities. Dan Walters Employers either obtain insurance to cover their potential liabilities or self-insure, as most larger businesses and government agencies do. From time to time, the Legislature has altered the system for certain occupational groups, particularly police officers and firefighters, creating a presumption that if they were afflicted by specific disabling conditions, including cancer and post-traumatic stress disorder, they would be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits without having to prove they were job-related. However, the grand bargain remained in place for the vast majority of workers and their employers, at least until the pandemic struck. Last year, the Legislature passed and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation that created a “rebuttable presumption” that health workers and public safety personnel who contracted Covid-19 were entitled to workers’ compensation benefits and extended that presumption to any employee whose workplace had experienced an “outbreak” of the disease. The law is a major departure from the longstanding procedural rule that an employee claiming benefits must prove that the disability is work-related. It was backed by a coalition of labor unions and opposed by employer groups, which saw it as a potentially expensive loophole. Meanwhile, a lawsuit filed against See’s Candies, a century-old California institution, could make an even more fundamental change in the workers’ compensation system and its “exclusive remedy” provision. Matilde Ek, a worker at a See’s distribution center in Southern California, contracted Covid-19 and apparently infected her 72-yearold husband, Arturo, who died. Ek said she worked on the See’s packing line without proper social distancing or other protections even though some workers were coughing, sneezing and showing other signs of Covid-19 infections. She and her daughters sued See’s, alleging that since her workplace lacked sufficient safeguards against infection, the company is liable for his death. See’s, now owned by billionaire Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Corp., acknowledged that Ek’s illness was job-related but argued that since it was, the company was protected from liability for her husband’s death under the “exclusive remedy” doctrine. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel M. Crowley refused, however, to throw out Ek’s lawsuit, agreeing with Ek’s attorney that her husband’s death was a separate event from her workplace infection. Crowley’s ruling sent the issue into the appellate courts and it’s drawing attention from major California and national business groups, which see it as potentially undermining a bedrock principle of the workers’ compensation system. “The trial court’s ruling, if it is sustained, could subject employers across the state to potentially unlimited tort liability for alleged workplace injuries that the Legislature intended to be addressed in the workers’ compensation system,” a coalition of business groups declares in its appellate court brief. “Given that prospect, the potential impact . . . can hardly be overstated.” The money involved in workers’ compensation, about $20 billion a year, spawns constant political jousting among affected interests, such as employers, unions, insurers, medical care providers and attorneys. Their squabbles over dividing the pie have never extended to fundamental change in the 108-year-old system. However, the Legislature and the courts may be headed in that direction, for good or ill.

this writing) state Covid-caused deaths would be 1,292, and the country’s 630,550 reported Covid deaths would drop to 12,611. In March 2020, when the reports of Covid were just making headlines, a story hit the press that the coronavirus can persist on plastic and stainless steel for days. That triggered a plethora of YouTubers giving advice on how to decontaminate everything from doorknobs to groceries. By May 2020, the World Health Organization was recommending that people in houses, buses, churches, schools and shops should clean and disinfect surfaces, especially those that are frequently touched. Disinfectant suppliers worked 24-hour shifts to keep up with heavy demand. Then a microbiologist at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark decided to take a closer look at the evidence and found that there was little to support the idea that Covid passes from one person to another through contaminated surfaces. Many others reached similar conclusions. This led to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to revise guidance about surface transmission, stating that this route through surfaces is “not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.” Bottom line: Follow the science and set policies based on good data, and as Matyas so aptly put it, “not by public opinion.” Danny Wells is a citizen of Vacaville and can be reached at danny@ dannywells.com.

on Afghanistan and enshroud our citizens and allies still there. President Barack Obama was known for “leading from behind.” Biden will be known for “leaving them behind.” The idea that the United States won’t defend even its own citizens sends an unmistakable message to the world. A great if controversial political theorist, Leo Strauss, wrote years ago, in “The City and Man,” that “The West was once certain of its purpose, of a purpose in which all men could be united, and hence it had a clear vision of its future.” But, he added, “The crisis of the West is in the West’s having become uncertain of its purpose.” On 9/12 we had a clear vision, a certain purpose. We have made many mistakes since then but we never gave up on that vision and purpose: of a safe and secure homeland and the ongoing, and incremental increase of liberty and literacy in the West and nations allied to the West. We have abandoned that vision and purpose just as Biden has abandoned Americans and allies to the Taliban. What a catastrophe. What an indelible stain on Biden and those around him, indeed around everyone who does not raise their voice against this betrayal.

Newly launched Black Film Archive provides history and context to more than 200 films

Crossword

Nina Metz

Chicago Tribune, (TNS)

f you saw the most recent incarnation of “Candyman” from director Nia DaCosta – all of it shot in Chicago – you might be compelled to go back and compare how other films have captured the same neighborhood. Namely 1975′s “Cooley High,” about a group of Black teenagers in the ‘60s, bonded by camaraderie, good times and (by the film’s end) rising tensions as they stare down the final weeks of their senior year of high school. The script is from “Good Times” and “What’s Happening!!” creator Eric Monte, and the story is loosely autobiographical; he grew up in those very same row houses we see on screen and the lead character Preach (played by Glynn Turman) is a version of Monte himself. You can search the internet to see where the film is streaming. Or you can also head over to the website for the Black Film Archive, which offers not only a synopsis of the film but a link to stream it. That’s how I learned that “Cooley High” is available on YouTube for free (with ad breaks). Launched last week, the Black Film Archive is the brainchild of Maya Cade, who works as the audience development strategist at The Criterion Collection. But in her own time, she’s been developing a comprehensive register of more than 200 Black films made between 1915 and 1979 that are available to watch via streaming. It’s a labor intensive, impressive project and it is Cade’s response to a question she has been mulling for some time now: What does it mean to make Black film history accessible? “In a moment where Black films are being deeply associated with trauma, I hope you use this resource to learn more about Black films’ past,” she wrote on Twitter. When we connected by phone, Cade talked about her habit of watching one film a day. “I have always leaned on Black cinema to sustain me. And I’ve tried to watch films that are new to me at least twice a week.” Organizing all that knowledge into a database came naturally. For now, the films – which include narrative features, shorts and documentaries – are categorized by decade. Not sure where to get started? Scroll down the homepage and Cade has all kinds of films spotlighted, from 1971’s “Shaft” starring Richard Roundtree to 1927’s “Siren of the Tropics” starring Josephine Baker. Though most streaming sites require a subscription (Cade

Eartha Kitt with Sammy Davis Jr. in “Anna Lucasta.” says none of the titles she’s compiled are available on Netflix, interestingly enough), some of the films spotlighted are available for free, either through YouTube or because they are in the public domain or accessible through Kanopy, the streaming service available through public library memberships. Here’s what I find especially exciting about the Black Film Archive: The ’30s, ’40s and ’50s are decades that are often assumed to be devoid of Black film, and one of the great joys of the site are all the titles from this era that may be new to many audiences. A number of films from this period come from Chicago-based producer and director Oscar Micheaux, including 1939’s “Birthright.” Here’s Cade’s description: “A Black Harvard graduate returns to his small hometown to establish a school for Black children, only to have to confront opposition from both white and Black communities.” Or you can check out the 1958 noir “Anna Lucasta,” starring Eartha Kitt and Sammy Davis Jr. Or 1940’s “Broken Strings,” about an injured concert violinist who pins all his hopes and dreams on his son, who would rather play swing. Or there’s the 1937 gangster film “Dark Manhattan,” which was produced and co-directed by its star, Ralph Cooper, the original master of ceremonies and founder of amateur night at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. “In these race films of the ’40s, white ideas of Blackness are coming through – white decision makers in the film industry had a lot of sway in how people are represented – but the Black experience is still coming through as well, whether it’s real or inferred,” said Cade. The Black Film Archive illustrates just how many different genres and styles Black cinema encompasses.

Many of the films from the ’70s are Blaxploitation classics, from “Super Fly” to “Coffy.” But there are also naturalistic dramas such as 1974’s “Claudine,” starring Diahann Carroll as a single mother in New York City whose life becomes emotionally richer but also more complicated when she falls in love with a garbage collector played by James Earl Jones. Or the 1977 Muhammad Ali biopic “The Greatest” staring Ali as himself. The films selected by Cade speak to Black audiences and/or have a Black star, writer, producer or director. These movies, she writes on the site, are in conversation with each other, showing an array of Black life as it has been portrayed on screen across time. These stories “express what only film can: social, anthropological and aesthetic looks at the changing face of Black expression” as well as “white attitudes about Black expression, which are inescapable given the whiteness of decision-makers in the film industry.” I asked why the archive stops at 1979. “Studios stopped investing in Black cinema after ‘The Wiz’s’ financial failure (in 1978), so the ’80s ushered in a new era of Black cinema,” said Cade, and that seemed like a natural demarcation point. The ’80s and ’90s are when directors such as Spike Lee and John Singleton started making films, most of which retain a good deal of awareness among audiences. Cade’s hope is that the archive whets our collective appetite for discovery and encourages viewers to go back further and seek out films that are new and unfamiliar to them. “I don’t think people are afraid of novelty,” she said. “I think sometimes people just want a guiding hand through things. They want someone they trust – even vaguely – to say: Here’s the information.”

Drama looks at the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal from the female perspective Chuck Barney

East Bay Times, (TNS)

on’t miss: “Impeachment: American Crime Story” – Long before Donald Trump was impeached twice, Bill Clinton faced a brutal battle in the late 1990s to retain his presidency after having an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. This compelling follow-up to “The People v. O.J. Simpson” (2016) and “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” (2018) examines the national scandal primarily through the eyes of the women at the center of the events – Lewinsky (Beanie Feldstein), Linda Tripp (Sarah Paulson) and Paula Jones (Annaleigh Ashford). All three were thrust into the spotlight during a time of corrosive partisan hostility, shifting sexual politics and a changing media landscape. The stellar cast also features Clive Owen as the embattled president and Edie Falco as first lady Hillary Clinton. (10 p.m. ET Tuesday, FX). Other bets: Sunday: In “Guilt,” a darkly offbeat “Masterpiece” presentation, Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives play brothers who land in increasingly hot water after a drunken hit-and-run accident. Instead of fessing up, they commit more and more serious crimes to hide their culpability. (9 p.m., PBS). Sunday: Season 5 of “Billions” resumes with the first of five new episodes. In the second half of the season, the presence of powerful billionaire Mike Prince sends ripples through Axe Capital and gives Chuck Rhoades a potential new weapon in his fight against Bobby Axelrod. (9 p.m., Showtime). Monday: Renovation expert Jasmine Roth is back to rescue homeowners from their DIY fails in a new season of “Help! I Wrecked My House.” The opener has Roth aiding a family whose dream fixer-upper took a nightmarish turn during a botched demolition project. (9 p.m., HGTV).

Tuesday: As the drama “Queen Sugar” returns for its sixth season, Ralph Angel and Darla are planning for the arrival of their baby. Meanwhile, Nova continues to speak out against political corruption and Charley faces a life-altering decision. (8 p.m., OWN). Tuesday: TV all this week will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks with numerous documentaries and specials. Tonight brings “America After 9/11,” a “Frontline” installment that examines the U.S. response to the attacks and the consequences across three presidencies. (9 p.m., PBS). Wednesday: “Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.” is apparently inspired by “Doogie Howser, M.D.,” the 1990s medical series that starred a young Neil Patrick Harris. But this show takes a very different path, following a 16-year-old Asian American girl (Peyton Elizabeth Lee), who lives in Hawaii, where she juggles a budding medical career and life as a teen. (Disney+). Thursday: The new drama series “Kin” follows the lives of the Kinsellas, a small Irish crime family that becomes embroiled in a vengeful, seemingly impossible-to-win war against a ruthless international cartel. (AMC+). Friday: “Rise and Fall: The World Trade Center” is a two-hour documentary that recounts the conception, construction and destruction of the World Trade Center towers. Step by step, viewers witness the execution of this innovative sky-high complex from early designs, to overcoming technical challenges, to its collapse. (8 p.m., History Channel). Saturday: Through powerful narratives from family and friends, “9/11: Four Flights” tells the emotional stories of passengers aboard the doomed flights of American 11, United 175, American 77 and United 93. (8 p.m., History Channel).

Classifieds: 427-6936 NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: DEBRA CAROLYN GEE Case Number: P050974

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. CA-19-869349-NJ Order No.: 191106325-CAVOI YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 3/20/2009. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the accrued principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): ELIZABETH A. WORTHY, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN Recorded: 3/26/2009 as Instrument No. 200900022243 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SOLANO County, California; Date of Sale: 9/27/2021 at 9:30AM Place of Sale: At the Santa Clara Street entrance to the City Hall located at 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590 Amount of accrued balance and other charges: $616,544.92 The purported property address is: 4349 OLIVE AVENUE, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533 Assessor's Parcel No. : 0038-180-060 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the trustee: CA-19-869349-NJ. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-9390772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-869349-NJ to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the mortgagor, the mortgagee, or the mortgagee's attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Debra Carolyn Gee A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Darin Gee in the Superior Court of California, County of: Solano The Petition for Probate requests that: Darin Gee be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

Giants: Get win From Page B1 didn’t get the job done, I think I’d be doing a disservice to myself and the team,” Ruf said. “You just have to keep the same approach to swing at good pitches and try to hit them hard. Luckily today I pulled it a little more than the last couple.” Estrada followed with his fourth home run in a Giants uniform as the second baseman stepped up in a big way in place of infielder Wilmer Flores, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left hamstring strain. Estrada’s home run was the first Williams has given up to a right-handed hitter this season and only the second extra-base hit he’s allowed against a righty in 2021. “He’s a tremendous pitcher,” Estrada said.

“We’re baseball players and we’re competing, he wants to come out ahead and I want to come out ahead and I’m just glad I was able to contribute.” The Giants’ scoring threat nearly ended when Bryant was called out at second base on a stolen base attempt, but a lengthy replay review that lasted more than three minutes overturned the call and gave Ruf a chance to bring home Bryant before Estrada broke the game open. The rally ensured the Giants wouldn’t waste another sensational start from Webb, who gave up just four hits and issued one walk. Three of Milwaukee’s baserunners came during a fourthinning rally that allowed the Brewers to tie the game against a Giants team that took a firstinning lead on a home run from Austin Slater.

A’s: Top Tigers From Page B1 an infield drive in the third inning. Through 6 2/3 innings, Montas struck out seven batters. But the last out proved elusive. He got two outs after walking Niko Goodrum to start the seventh inning, Montas’ third walk issued, and gave up a two-run home run after falling behind 3-1 to Akil Baddoo on his 103rd pitch. Deolis Guerra took over in hopes of getting that last out and perhaps a few more with a

still-healthy lead, but let all four batters he faced on base, including a Jeimer Candelario three-run home run. A win in jeopardy and the lead down to two runs, Melvin tapped Andrew Chafin for the final out and another scoreless eighth inning – Chafin’s fifth appearance in eight games. Romo closed a game that, at one point, didn’t look to be destined for a save situation. “Our bullpen has been good all year. They’re being taxed at this point,” Melvin said.
