O

n this 20th anniversary Saturday of 9/11, with so many memories surfacing and heaviness of heart that all the years can’t seem to wash away, Manka’s Corner became an unlikely spot for a solemn yet uplifting event.

For the first time, elements of the Suisun Fire Protection District, Cordelia Fire Protection District, Napa County Fire Department and Solano County Sheriff’s Office came together for a procession down Mankas Corner Road to The Suisun Valley Filling Station. Waiting for them were about 150 people. Some were elected officials but the majority were people out to pay tribute to those who gave lost lives so many years ago.

caved in on them. Ganci ordered his men to set up a different command post in a safer location, farther north of the buildings, and ordered Steven Mosiello, who served as Ganci’s aide, to acquire backup.

However, Ganci himself returned to the buildings, coming to stand in front of 1 World Trade Center, where he was directing the rescue efforts with a multichannel radio when the building collapsed.

“I want to thank him for what he did,” Vincent said.

Mayor Lori Wilson said she clearly remembers the events of Sept. 11, 2001. She had been up only a few minutes and as she passed the television to get her children up, she saw something about New York on the news. She passed back again

he early morning sun was shining over those assembled early Saturday to remember a day that is etched in the minds of millions: Sept. 11, 2001.

The small ceremony was attended at 7 a.m. by members of the Fairfield Police Department, Fire Department, city personnel and city officials before the workday began for many.

“It has been 20 years to the day that changed the world,” Fire Chief Tony Velasquez said during the opening comments. “Our security measures changed, and how we travel has changed.”

The goal of the morning was to honor those that were killed two decades ago.

Nearly 3,000 people died – 246 in the four airplanes (plus 19 hijackers), 2,606 in the two towers and surrounding area of the World Trade Center, and 125 at the

he Fire Department once again honored the lives lost on 9/11 with a morning ceremony Saturday, the 20th anniversary of that fateful day.

Fire Chief Justin Vincent spoke of bravery that is not forgotten.

“They were heroes that made a difference,” he said.

Vincent said he hoped his work emulates New York City Fire Chief Peter James Ganci Jr., who died that day after making sure people were out of the first tower to fall at the World Trade Center.

Ganci and others were in the basement of the South Tower when it collapsed at 9:59 a.m., but they dug themselves out of the rubble that had

hough it wasn’t strictly about the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, those atrocities were noted by most if not all the speakers Saturday at the Hour of Prayer event on the steps of the Solano County Courthouse downtown.

That opinion is far Also, it’s likely the opinion from universal, as some demoof people who have never had graphics prefer the five-day,

eight-hour workday (men, millennials and urbanites all rank that option first), but it’s fairly popular. Among more than 1,000 working adults surveyed, 40% prefer a four-day workweek and 35% would choose a five-day week.

However, consider the big picture: Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed would prefer something other than the traditional workweek (although four 10-hour shifts it the most popular alternative). Unsurprisingly, the generation with the least amount of variety is baby boomers: 89% of us would take either a four- or fiveday workweek.

It’s the outliers who are most interesting: The people who would prefer to work three 13.3-hour days a week or seven, 5.7-hour days a week.

The amount of interest in the three-day, 13.3-hour workweek (other than from baby boomers) is fairly steady across generations, geographies and genders at between 5% and 10%. I can understand those people, who consider the value of a fourday weekend. I suspect many of them have never had to work back-to-back shifts of 12 hours or more, so the idea seems pleasant. The reality isn’t pleasant: If you have to work that schedule it feels like all you do is work and sleep.

However, that option makes more sense than those we discussed at the start: People who would prefer to work every day (Every. Single. Day. That means Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday . . . ).

Supporters of that schedule

include 12% of urban dwellers and 9% of rural residents.

I can understand the latter if they’re farmers. Seven days of only 5.7 hours would be a break, right?

But the fact that one of 10 millennials and Gen Z members would choose to work every single day (again, that’s Sunday, Monday, Tuesday . . .) indicates one of two things: Either they haven’t considered what it would be like to never have a day off, or they plan to call in sick twice a week.

I guess the problem would be to decide when to call in sick? I suggest Saturday and Sunday.

You know, the weekend.

SUISUN MARSH — One of the best pleasures of living in Suisun City is driving the winding road through Suisun Marsh.

What’s even better is pulling into Rush Ranch for community events.

The Rush Ranch Harvest Festival occurred Saturday, complete with families, music, beer and the occasional horse whinny in the distance.

The event was hosted by the Solano Land Trust, a volunteer organization dedicated to preserving land in Solano County and advocating for its appreciation. The land trust set up information and snack booths and organized hikes led by docents.

One such volunteer was Lynn Garrison, who manned tables set up with skulls and other remnants of marsh denizens, such as possums, barn owls, cows, red-tailed hawks and garter snakes. One particularly beastly skull was

Rush Ranch volunteer Sean Cassidy introduces Rip to visitors during the Harvest Festival at Rush Ranch, Saturday. that of an invasive creature – a wild boar. There was also a skull replica of a former inhabitant, the grizzly bear.

Rush Ranch is just off Grizzly Island Road, after all.

Garrison said her favorite thing is connecting with the community, especially children. She leads children on “Marsh Matters” tours, she said.

It was just another

day at the barn for Sean Cassidy, who volunteers with the animals. Cassidy said that they’ve been working at the ranch for six years, where they have learned everything from horse “beauty shop” (bathing and grooming) to simply exercising them.

The backbeat for the whole event was School of Rock Vacaville, a music education program that transforms preteens and teens from 12 to 16 years old into rock stars. The band consisted of keyboards, drums, bass, guitar and several lead vocalists who switched off.

Italia Maneri, 12, belted out tunes by Led Zeppelin, Kansas and Blondie, for example.

The turnout was smaller than expected and the mosquitos were biting, but those who came enjoyed brews by Hooby’s from Winters, educational display tables and, of course, the music.

The event was cohosted by the Rush Ranch Educational Council.

FAIRFIELD — The City Council this week voted unanimously to name the future “great park” in the One Lake housing development after former City Councilman Matt Garcia.

Garcia, the youngest council member ever elected in the city, was shot and killed Sept. 1, 2018, in a case of mistaken identity. He was 22 years old.

Councilman Scott Tonnesen brought the matter to the council, and in an earlier interview, said it was Garcia who inspired him to get involved in local politics,

beginning with the city Planning Commission.

Tonnesen also noted at the time that he believes Garcia would have gone on to bigger things beyond the garcia reach of the council had he lived.

“He was just a great kid,” Tonnesen said in the interview.

While there was no comment during Tuesday’s council meeting, there is a tribute video posted on the city website.

Tonnesen also asked that the council consider, off the consent agenda, the establishment of a

Public Art Fund.

The council, with Councilwoman Catherine Moy absent, approved the fund with a starting budget of $250,000, of which $100,000 will be used for murals and the remainder for general public art projects.

The funding comes from the city’s urban design fees.

The city manager will designate a program manager, who will reach out to the arts community for appointments to the Cultural Arts Advisory Committee.

County adds 4 more Covidrelated deaths Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The number of Solano County residents who have died in this latest Covid-19 surge continues to climb, with unvaccinated three individuals and one vaccinated individual since the Public Health update Wednesday.

“That brings the number in the current surge to 24, with 19 unvaccinated and five vaccinated,” said Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer.

Matyas said all four lived at home and had significant health issues.

There were two men who were 65 or older, one man who was between 50 and 65 and one woman who was between 50 and 65, Matyas reported.

Overall, however, Matyas said the numbers suggest the surge is diminishing.

The 221 new positive coronavirus reports since Wednesday reflect a daily average of 110.5, but the 10-day daily average is down to 84.

“We really are showing we are slowing down and the impact on hospitals is down,” Matyas said.

The unknown, however, is the Labor Day weekend, numbers from which will start showing up this weekend and will be reported next week.

The number of residents hospitalized with

Covid-19 was down from 112 Wednesday to 106 Friday, with 34 of those in intensive care units. The report Wednesday put the number of ICU patients at 43, the county reported.

The total number of coronavirus cases is at 42,665, with 838 active cases, up from 813, with a seven-day positivity testing rate dipping from 11.7% Wednesday to 9.7% Friday, the county reported.

The percentage of residents who are 12 or older who have been fully vaccinated is up from 63% to 64%, while those with a single shot held at 76%, the county reported.

Vacaville had the most new reports at 73, taking the city’s total to 11,211.

Vallejo added 62 cases for a total of 12,508. Fairfield is at 11,529 with 41 new reports, the county said.

Suisun City climbed above 3,000 cases with 15 new reports, taking that count to 3,004.

Dixon (2,378) added 16 new cases; Benicia (1,362) added eight cases; Rio Vista (539) added six cases; and there were no new cases in the unincorporated area, which is at 134, the county reported.

Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data Friday that indicates people who are unvaccinated who contract Covid-19 are 11 times more likely to die than are those who are vaccinated.

FAIRFIELD — If Little could Mekhi have waited a few more minutes, he would have been born Sept. 12.

He did not, making him one of the estimated 13,238 babies born in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, arriving at 11:58 p.m.

What he knows of that day, Little has been told or learned.

He does not know a time when there weren’t long lines for TSA screening at the airport or – until late last month – that U.S. troops were not in Afghanistan.

According to a recent Yahoo News/YouGov poll, 22% of respondents, ages 18 to 29, think the United States was right to launch a war in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks, compared with 41% who do not.

Robinson Kuntz/Daily Republic file

Fairfield resident Mekhi Little was born Sept. 11, 2001.

He now attends Solano Community College.

The poll also found that 18- to 29-year-olds were the only age demographic that feels safer from a foreign terrorist threat today than it did in the wake of Sept. 11, 2001.

The survey was done Aug. 16-18, as the collapse of Afghanistan was unfolding but before a suicide bombing attack in Kabul killed 13 U.S.

service members.

Little recently watched a documentary about a firefighter who died on 9/11. It showed the chaos of the day, including a woman who jumped from a building only to land on, and crush, the firefighter.

The subject of the terrorist attacks doesn’t come up when he’s with friends.

“I’m pretty sure

they’ve looked into it,” he said of friends. “They do know about it.”

Little is studying welding at Solano Community College.

“The first time I did it (welding), I fell in love with it,” he said, adding it may be a career choice.

His mother, Waseme Little, was aware of what was happening when she was in labor. She will never forget the day that gifted her with a son when so many Americans lost their lives.

Mekhi Little will always remember it as his birthday.

He just purchased his first car and is looking for work. He will ride some go-karts Saturday and play paintball Sunday.

As Saturday ends, Little will spend some time reflecting on what happened to America the day he was born.

Fairfield mayor, council up their pay Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Elected officials in Fairfield are getting a raise – in December 2022.

The City Council on Tuesday introduced ordinances that will increase the monthly salary of the mayor from $600 to $1,560 and the pay for the council members from

$500 to $1,300.

A resolution was adopted to bump the pay of the city clerk and the city treasurer from $190 to $475. “ C u r r e n t l y, compensation for elected officials PRICE is inconsistent with California government code as it relates to population, and is also

inconsistent with neighboring cities with similar populations,” Finance Emily Director Combs said.

Fairfield was last among cities with a population of at least 75,000, Combs said. The pay hikes will put the city officials slightly above the rates in Vacaville, but

below Vallejo.

The increases, according to a staff report, will cost the city about $75,000 annually.

The votes were unanimous.

Councilwoman Catherine Moy was absent, but had expressed her support of the increases at a previous meeting. was no There public comment.

Emma Lucille Woolley Goss June 24, 1927 — Sept. 2, 2021

Emma Lucille Woolley Goss was born in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, on June 24, 1927, to LeRoie Woolley Sr. and Emma Leone Dunne Woolley. Lucille was one of five children born into this happy, hardworking family, and was always proud of all that her parents and siblings accomplished.

Lucille was a strong girl and full of confidence. She played multiple instruments, including the trumpet, drums and piano, and at an early age was drum major for her marching band. She was even in the Rose Parade during her high school years. Throughout her life, she loved music, and always encouraged her children to develop and share their musical talents.

She always said that her father was loved by all and a friend to everyone, and that was Lucille.

On March 21, 1947, she married the man of her dreams, James Arthur Goss, who she met on a blind date in Utah. They were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City LDS temple and they had six children: three boys and three girls.

There was no one that she did not like, or was not praying for, especially family. They were her crown jewels and there was nothing she liked better than to spend time with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

Her work experience was vast. As a youth she worked as a Rosie the Riveter in her uncle’s machine shop. As a new bride she worked at a preschool at UCLA. In Manhattan, Kansas, where her husband, Jim, taught at Kansas State University, she started her own Nursery School, which she taught for approximately 30 years in her home. Lucille also taught Sunday School to children (ages 2-5) for over 30 years. For many years, she sold Avon (on the side) because she liked the products, and loved associating with the people. Around 1977, she worked as a volunteer

and then as the activity director at a Care Home in Manhattan, Kansas.

When they moved to Scott City, Kansas, in 1979, she worked as a Speech Therapist for the local schools and as an assistant to the City Librarian. She was also actively involved in the schools, the community, and their activities, including serving as a judge for the high school debate and forensics competitions.

In 1983, they moved to Lamar, Colorado, for a short period (about two months) and then they decided to move on to Fairfield, California, to be close to family again. They lived in Fairfield for about eight years before she lost her sweetheart to cancer in May of 1991. During that time, Lucille had been working as a caregiver for the elderly. She cared for several Alzhiemer’s patients in her home and also worked in her son’s Care Homes.

Working as a noon duty supervisor at Laurel Creek Elementary School, helping with the grandchildren, and her ever faithful church work kept her life busy and happy through her remaining 30 years.

She also loved sports, Louis L’Amour western books and her western movies.

Lucille is survived by her six children, Larry (Joan), Ray (Shirley), Linda (Barry Adams), Gerry (Cristina), Liana (Peter Chapman, deceased) and Lori (Ray Landin); and to date, 48 grandchildren; 62 great-grandchildren; and eight great-great grandchildren.

She will truly be missed, but we rejoice in the knowledge that she is united with her husband, parents, siblings and so many friends who have gone before.

We love you Mom! A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m.

Thursday, Sept. 16, 2021, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2700 Camrose Ave., Fairfield, California.

The wearing of masks is recommended.

Feel free to wear bright colors if you desire. Lucille loved bright colors.

Steven DeGracia

Jan. 27, 1955 — July 1, 2021

Steven ‘Steve’ James DeGracia, 66, of Fairfield, California, passed away on July 1, 2021, at his home in Dayton, Nevada.

Steven, a beloved father, brother and grandfather, was born on Jan. 27, 1955, in Fairfield to Raymond ‘Ding’ and Anne Marie DeGracia.

He graduated from Armijo High School in 1972.

He married Sandra McPherson in the late ’80s and welcomed their son, Clayton, in 1991. Steve was also a wonderful stepfather to Kevin and Tiffany McPherson.

Born and raised in Fairfield, California, James (Jim) Allen Wilson grew up cutting fruit in the nearby orchards, catching a flick at 12 cents a pop in San Francisco’s Mission District with his brother Vern, and even caught a glimpse of then-Vice President Harry S. Truman riding on a train in Cordelia. Jim graduated from Armijo High School in 1955, and remained close with his classmates for the better part of a century, so much so that his wife Audrey became an honorary class member.

Before he earned his master’s degree and settled into his chosen career as a CPA, Jim attended Cal Berkeley, served in the National Guard, and worked as a ship builder on Mare Island in Vallejo.

While at a supper club in 1963, Jim met the love of his life. Initially, she stayed off to the side so her friend could dance with him, but Jim always and only had eyes for Audrey. Two years later, they were married in Redwood City and set up home in Contra Costa County where Audrey worked as an elementary school teacher.

A few years later, their daughter, Andrea was born. They raised her to be self-assured and independent, and as such, she began traveling early. It was a running family joke that Andrea got her passport before her father, but Jim soon followed suit and never looked back!

Together with Audrey and their daughter Andrea, Jim traveled the world.

They toured Europe and South America, rafting down the Urubamba River of Peru and cruising the Danube through Central Europe.

Jim never slowed down, and at the age of 76 rowed across Mendenhall Lake and up to the glacier while on a family trip to Alaska in 2014.

Family was always first and foremost for Jim. Known as Uncle Jimmy to those who loved him, he relished holiday dinners and family trips surrounded by a large

extended family.

Jim was known for his sharp wit and dry sense of humor. His face cracked into an easy grin and his eyes darted mischievously after he told one of the cheesy ‘dad jokes’ he was famous for.

At home in Contra Costa County, Jim and Audrey built a large network of lifelong friends through square dancing and bocce ball. Square dancers for years, they traveled the state attending hoedowns, and even performed at the halftime show of a Stanford University football game.

Jim was also active in the church, teaching Sunday School for years with his wife Audrey.

He always cherished his church family.

Jim died at home on Monday, Aug. 30, 2021, surrounded by his beloved daughter, Andrea, and son-in-law, Joe. He is survived by his daughter, Andrea; sonin-law, Joseph Granata; brother, Vern Wilson; sisters-in-law, Flora Wilson and Valorie Velasquez; nephews, Verne, Barry and Alan; nieces, Linda, Sheri, Sherry, Ryckie and Kristen; and many greatnephews and nieces who all loved and will miss their Uncle Jimmy; cherished cousins, Nadine and Paul Hanley and Ruthie Walter; and finally, his best friend, Bill Nootbaar, with whom he shared countless dinners at Il Pavone in Walnut Creek.

He is predeceased by his parents, William LaVerne and Vivian Wilson; brothers-in-law, Arthur Skutevik and Joe Velasquez; and his best friend, love and wife of 48 years, Audrey.

A celebration of life will take place at 11 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021, at the Walnut Creek United Methodist Church, 1543 Sunnyvale Ave., Walnut Creek, California.

Reception to follow.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Walnut Creek United Methodist Church or the charity of your choice.

Christian Detzel Christian Detzel, 27, lost his life unexpectedly earlier this week. He was born on Aug. 15, 1994, at NorthBay Hospital.

Chris grew up in and lived in Fairfield all his life. He had many passions. As a child he played basketball, and loved to ride his skateboard. Chris was often found at the skatepark with all of his friends.

As Chris got older, his main passion became his love for creating music.

He was then known by ‘Roadrunnah,’ and he created beats for many artists. He later ended up winning awards in the Bay Area for his amazing creativity and talent.

Chris was the kindest person anyone could meet. He never, ever made one enemy in his entire life. He was a friend to all that new him.

Christian was engaged to his fiancé, Miriam Vargas (Mimi), and was soon to be the stepfather to her son, Michael. Both

of them where Christian’s pride and joy for the last four years of his life. Chris absolutely loved and adored them.

He will be forever loved and missed by all that knew him.

Christian is survived by his parents, Constance Aguilar and Charles Detzel; three sisters, Francine (Bobby) Burnett, Lindsay (Josh) Aragon and Faith Detzel; three brothers, Jonah, Kylan, Kaynan; two stepbrothers, Joshua, Damien; stepmother, Lisa Widger; grandparents, Barbara Weaver, Lana (Ben) Ingram; and seven nieces and nephews.

If you knew Chris, you knew how much his family meant to him.

Christian had a very special bond and relationship with every single person he met.

Even though Christian’s life was cut short from us, his death was not in vain.

He was a donor and was able to save four lives out of this huge tragedy.

Planning Commission to consider code violation appeal over tourist home Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The owners of a Green Valley home are appealing a notice of violation for what the Department of Resources Management asserts is a violation of using that house as a short-term vacation rental without the required permit.

The Planning Commission is scheduled to conduct a public hearing on the matter at 7 p.m.

Thursday in the Board of

Supervisors chamber on the first floor of the government center, 675 Texas St., in Fairfield.

The property is located at 4376 Edinburg Court and has been the subject of a contentious disagreement between the property owners and neighbors.

The commission, and later the Board of Supervisors, denied Gerald Heyman and Amanda Rothstein a use permit that would have allowed them to use the property as a tourist home.

Car enthusiasts gather to support schools, mark 9/11 K aty St. Clair

kstclair@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A bright array of American flags could be seen flying from antennas attached to all manner of classic cars Saturday during the 8th Annual Ball Metal Car & Bike Show.

The patriotism was on display not only to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11, but the return of car shows in the era of Covid-19.

“Car shows are up again,” said Brentwood’s “Fast” Arnie, owner of a 1937 Ford Roadster with suicide doors. The red and gray car looked just like something from a ZZ Top video; matter of fact, so did Arnie, and he playfully chuckled and stroked his long gray beard when this was pointed out.

Arnie, who did not give his last name, and Russell Sumang, from Manteca, said they were the judges for the day.

Unlike other car shows, this one didn’t have categories. They anticipated handing out “Best in Show” trophies to whatever struck their fancy.

With cars ranging from the 1920s to the aughts, there were plenty to choose from.

But the Ball Metal show was also different in another way: It was a school supply drive.

Entrants all made donations in order to be a part of it. Arnie said he contributed at least $100 in classroom provisions.

“Teachers are still using money out of their own pockets,” he said.

“When I found out this was a supply drive, I said, ‘I’m in.’ ” The judges weren’t the only ones glad to be back

George Clatterback of Vacaville, center, in the dark blue shirt, talks about his 1968 Camaro during the 8th Annual Ball Metal Car & Bike Show in Fairfield, Saturday. on the car show circuit.

Dozens of people roamed amid about 50 cars and motorcycles. Car collectors stood by their autos, happy to talk about their labors of love.

George Clatterback of Vacaville bought his cherry red-and-whitestriped 1968 Camaro two years ago, he said, and he only takes it out for joy rides and shows.

Rob Cleland of Fairfield had the only van in the running.

His business, Xtreme Xhaust, seems to live up to its name. His “groovy” purple-andwhite ’69 Chevy G-10 can wake the dead.

Cleland jumped into the driver’s seat to fire it up, and it didn’t disappoint, with an ear-splitting vrooming sure to strike fear into the hearts of anyone waiting at a bus stop (and setting off multiple car alarms).

An onlooker exclaimed “Wow!” as the van was started and mentioned the “big change” since he saw the vehicle in an earlier incarnation. The man said he was impressed by Cle-

land’s work.

The car show was a family event, with children playing in a bounce house and eating cotton candy. Lots of people brought their dogs, too.

A DJ kept the crowd enthused with a mix of oldies, hip-hop and contemporary pop.

In fact, the only time things slowed down was when the DJ asked everyone to rise for the national anthem. You could hear a pinion drop as everyone took off their hats, put their hands over their hearts and remembered those lost on 9/11.

“Never forget,” said one visitor who just wanted to go by “Buck.”

“I American like cars and I love my country,” he said.

California wildfires ignite insurance crisis

A

s if California needed another crisis, the state’s seemingly perpetual wildfires are forcing millions of homeowners in fire-prone areas to pay skyrocketing premiums for insurance coverage – if, indeed, they can buy it at all.

As the number and severity of wildfires increase, insurers are increasingly reluctant to renew policies and even if they do, premiums often double or triple.

Insurance is required for most homeowners since their mortgage lenders demand it.

And if they cannot obtain regular coverage, they are forced into the insurer of last resort, FAIR, that has very high premiums and limits on coverage.

Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara has repeatedly invoked a law he authored three years ago as a state legislator, imposing one-year moratoripolicy cancellations ums on Dan Walters for property in or immediately adjacent to the sites of major fires.

Lara’s moratoriums in 2020 covered 2.4 million policyholders after fires scorched more than 4 million acres and consumed hundreds of homes and other buildings. When this year’s fires are finally extinguished, including the immense Dixie Fire and the Caldor Fire that nearly wiped out South Lake Tahoe, Lara will extend the moratoriums to their burn zones.

At best, however, such moratoriums are merely stopgaps. So what, one might ask, are politicians doing about the crisis? Mostly, it seems, they are scapegoating.

This month, Assemblyman Marc Levine, a Democrat from fire-prone Marin County, fired off a letter to insurance trade groups, telling them, “I do not believe that the costs of utility mismanagement, or the impacts of climate change should be arbitrarily and capriciously passed through to my constituents in the form of homeowners’ insurance being declined, nonrenewed, or their insurance premiums being raised exorbitantly. Particularly when there has been no change of conditions or circumstances.”

Circumstances are also beyond insurers’ control as they assess potential losses and calculate whether to offer coverage and if so, what to charge. They cannot, as Levine seems to suggest, ignore the perils regardless of their causes.

John Norwood, a veteran insurance industry lobbyist, set forth the dilemma in a recent article for an industry publication: “The availability and affordability of property insurance in California are not likely to change until the worldwide reinsurance market believes California is serious about addressing its wildfire risks and there are demonstrable results in reducing the number and severity of wildfires in the state.

“Without the reinsurance market backing California property/casualty insurance companies, there will continue to be an availability crisis in the state for property insurance and prices for such coverage will continue to increase substantially to the detriment of California’s homeowners and businesses.”

The initial state budget signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom appropriated $2 billion for making the state more fire-resilient, but was criticized for spending many billions more on problems of lesser import. Last week, with big fires still burning, the wildfire budget was sharply increased before the Legislature adjourned for the year.

Reducing the likelihood of destructive fires is a good step in the right direction, but the insurance crisis demands more – perhaps, even, an entirely new approach.

The state could, for instance, purchase basic disaster insurance for every California property owner – covering earthquakes and floods, as well as fires – and pay for it through some sort of property-based assessment. Property owners could tap the private market for coverage beyond the basic policy’s limits.

Through reinsurance, the risk would be spread worldwide and Californians wouldn’t have to worry about scrounging for coverage.

The state’s voluntary earthquake insurance program already embodies that concept.

There may be other workable approaches, but without new thinking, the insurance crisis will, as Norwood warns, continue to worsen.

letters to the editor

Biden has failed Americans with his latest faux pas What has Joe Biden done? Quite a bit more than a faux pas (an embarrassing or tactles act). Even his staunchest defenders are having a hard time with this one.

It is easy to see what horrific decisions were made that brought about the order to our military to cut and run. If we can see this, can you only imagine what our enemies see and our prior allies who were left thunderstruck?

This is the guy with 40 years of experience who said he would bring the country together. He is so out of touch with his job. It is truly painful to watch.

No doubt we will get through this, at least in the next 20 to 30 years.

We are open to enemy attacks, especially now that the Taliban have all of our sophisticated equipment that was left in Afghanistan. We still have thousands of people coming to our southern border.

Soon this will all pass from the front pages and the television news and we will be lulled into insanity by the talking heads who are already blaming everyone but Biden. The word is, it is George W. Bush and Donald Trump. What about Barack Obama? He is in there somewhere if my history is correct. He surged troop levels. After the killing of Osama bin Laden, Obama promised a withdrawal by 2014.

The phony notion that this was a timeline of Trump’s that Biden couldn’t break would be laughable if it weren’t so serious. Within one day of his swearing in as president, Biden had signed dozens of executive orders, most rescinding Trump policies. What would one more be? If he didn’t like it – make it work for him.

That is what he has done.

We wait and pray for those left behind. We have left hostages there.

We mourn those who lost their lives while obeying this administrations’s orders. We pray for their families.

This will not end well. Not today, not tomorrow, and not in years to come.

Video release points to courtroom strategy

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

After almost a year to the day, the

public is now being made aware of an incident that happened in Dixon when a family, a mother, her children – all under the age of 7 – and her father were allegedly assaulted by Solano County Sheriff’s Office deputies.

Without going into the reported details, I am more curious as to why the Sheriff’s Office has released what is being billed as “new video” from the traffic stop that led to a federal lawsuit.

As one who designs strategies to win or at least gain the upper hand in a legal situation, let me suggest that the release of these videos is a brilliant idea by the sheriff’s legal counsel. The release is designed to shrink the jury pool in case of a court trial. Why? Because when the question is asked during jury selection, “Have you heard or seen reports of this case?” or “Have you framed an opinion of what they have seen or heard?” there will be few who can honestly reply “No” because the video has been plastered all over the print and broadcast media. It will be hard to attest to being able to be “fair and impartial” because in order to do that, you would have to be amoral.

This strategy is brilliant because in all other cases when an agency is under fire for misconduct, just think about it, how many times have you heard something like this: “Oh I’m sorry we can’t answer that question because we are in litigation.” But not here. The legal strategist’s aim is to limit the jury pool of the informed and opt to take their chances with the gullible if necessary and/or force a settlement out of court and out of the public eye.

Having exposed this strategy, especially those who have discernment, go to YouTube and watch every video and count the inconsistencies made by the law enforcement agency along with your knowledge of what you know about traffic stop procedures and just plain common sense.

Yep, you got it, therefore they do not want this case to go to court.

people’s lives that are devastated, an air quality and hazardous ash fallout wiping out decades of gains the state accomplished in reducing carbon from the atmosphere. The rolling brownouts forcing people to run portable and backup generators, contributing to more foul air.

The inabilities to contain these fires effectively, taking weeks and sometimes months.

What do we need most in a drought state, bullet trains or air tankers?

More water storage capabilities or another wasted $7.5 billion on drought preparedness? Did you see how that money was wasted? What about the homeless defecating in our streets and our lakes and estuaries, compiling unsafe levels of human fecal matter?

These environmental issues so proudly championed only to backfire and make things worse for all of us.

Newsom invited all those out-of-state homeless to our great state, likewise the undocuments immigrant population, sanctuary cities in a sanctuary state defying federal law.

What about the release of convicts?

What about not disclosing California’s Covid-19 outbreak in March 2020?

The health department explained it was due to patient confidentiality. It’s a public health issue, isn’t it? What about mandating public workers and encouraging companies to follow suit: no jab, no job? No passport ,no entry.

Then there’s the mask for us but not for him.

How about our ever-increasing taxes and the misleading ballot propositions confusing voters with the bait-and-switch wording? That falls into the category of fraud to me.

Three times this state approved a gasoline tax for roads only but they continuously use the dollars for other empire-building. It’s time for revenge on these matters alone. Recall Gavin Newsom.

“I remember going from interested in what was happening to dread and terror,” she said.

Wilson realized that through all the other things that had happened in the world, this event was different.

“I was really thankful to see our country rally together. It didn’t matter your color, religion, nothing; we were all in this together,” she said.

Wilson said she thinks about the aftermath of the terror attacks, all those

lives lost due to depression, suicide and war.

“We have yet to feel the full reverberation from those planes colliding with the towers,” she said.

“We stand in unity to remember those lost today,” the Rev. David Isom, senior pastor at St. Stephen CME Church in Fairfield and a trustee with the Fairfield-Suisun School District, said. “We pause to remember our pain and shock. We think of those that hurt us and pray for forgiveness so that we may find peace.”

Mark Renucci, a retired Suisun City fire captain, rang the bells signaling the end of the ceremony to remember the fallen, and to say farewell.

From Page One Former Benicia Fire Chief Gene Gantt served as the master of ceremonies. He and Wendy De Coito, owner of The Filling Station, devised a plan a few months ago to commemorate Sept. 11 in a different way.

“It’s to honor those first responders lost 20 years ago,” Gantt said, “and those responders who are working today.”

The inaugural event also got support from Mankas BackDoor Grill and Vezer Family Vineyard.

While the gathering was designed to honor those who gave their lives, it also paid homage to those who give of themselves every single day by going into situations most would not dream of heading into.

First responders take part in a procession on Mankas Corner Road during a 9/11 Memorial Ceremony at Manka’s Corner in Suisun Valley, Saturday.

Department, prayed for those first responders who have depression, either from their job or after-effects of 9/11.

By the time “Hallelujah” was performed by the Rhythm Method 4 band, there were not many who didn’t have a little something in their eyes.

Dawn La Bar sat a bit teary-eyed while waiting for her lunch at Mankas BackDoor Grill. She clearly remembers that day.

“My husband had just returned from National Guard military training and my son had finished boot camp,” La Bar said. “A few weeks later they were both shipped off. I had no idea where they went.”

La Bar’s son ended up in Iraq and her husband eventually went to Iraq.

Every day they were gone, she wore a copy of their dog tags around her neck and refused to take them off, not even for X-rays at the dentist.

“I didn’t take them off until both of them were home,” she said. “There is one thing from that day that I will say was good: We all came together, all of us were united and I was so proud.”

The bells were rung Saturday by retired Fairfield firefighter John Zazrivy in honor of those who died.

“For one moment, seeing all that support was a beautiful thing,” La Bar said.

Pastors From Page One ecumenical and nonpolitical with the intention to “serve as a source of trust, hope and respect while ensuring that everyone in our diverse community feels valued,” Jacob said.

Committee members include the Fairfield police chief, city manager, school district superintendent, several local pastors and community leaders, several of whom spoke at the event.

More than 20 people were on hand to hear the likes of Raymond Courtemanche of the Matt Garcia Foundation “pray for our community against the ugly of this world,” a world in which “we get to be the light.”

Courtemanche is the stepfather of former Fairfield City Councilman Matt Garcia, one of the country’s youngest elected officials, who was shot and killed in 2008, at age 22, in a case of mistaken identity.

“Today we gather to pray for our leaders, our community workers and first responders,” Courtemanche said.

Fairfield Mayor Harry Price called the fact that Saturday’s event fell on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 a “sweet irony.”

“It’s my fervent hope and belief that the lord will lead us into a more cooperative society,” he said.

Fairfield Police Chief Deanna Cantrell said she attended the event because “our pastors and faith leaders love our community and I love our community and I love them.”

“On this 20th anniversary of 9/11, I’m grateful to be able to live in Fair-

Fairfield City Council members Doriss Panduro and Scott Tonnesen said the prayer gathering was the third of four events they planned to attend Saturday.

“We were at the 9/11 memorial, and the Touch up the Town cleanup, which focused on the new (transitional) shelter on Ohio Street,” Panduro said. “This brings people together at a day and time where we all need the human connection.”

“We’re here because we love being involved in our community and to commemorate 9/11,” Tonnesen said.

The Rev. Jimmie Allen said that “God loves the world; just not the ugliness of the world,” and went on to pray for children, and for the schools that are reopening after months of pandemicrelated closures.

“For the parents who are nervous; for the fire departments (fighting regional wildfires); for our city in turmoil,” Allen said.

The Rev. Royce Goree of Victorious Baptist Church said the world “has never needed the lord more than it does right now.”

“Thank you (God) for those who have survived Covid and for help for those suffering by themselves and for our service members (in harm’s way),” Goree said.

The Rev. Claybon Lea of Mount Calvary Baptist Church remembered getting calls 20 years ago on Sept. 11 from family members in New York, and watching the collapse of the twin towers at the World Trade Center.

“As we remember 9/11, we give thanks that no terrorist was or will be able to defeat what is the best thing about America – its people,” Lea said in a prayer for unity. “There is still hope.

We look for justice, like that rendered to Osama bin Laden and others who perpetrated those horrendous attacks. . . . Thank

you (God). We pray for the survivors (who mourn) and we pray for justice in every area.”

Patricia Phillips of Liberty Church spoke on behalf of its pastor, who is recovering from Covid and couldn’t be at Saturday’s event. She prayed for the “collective church” that a “holy indignation against evil” should arise – “against crime; against child abuse; against domestic violence and murder in Fairfield.”

Fairfield Councilwoman Pam Bertani closed out the assembly, saying that when she looks back on the horror of the atrocity the nation suffered 20 years ago, she sees a recovery that has made us all stronger.

“I’m sure you remember where you were when those assaults happened 20 years ago today,” she said. “America will not be denied. We came back better as a country, a state, a community and as individuals. I thank God for leading us and guiding us and showing us the way, every second of every minute of every hour of every day.”

As the towers fell, questions like, “Was this an isolated attack?” swiftly arose. It was not long after that that city officials closed City Hall and police shut down the Solano Town Center mall.

“We prepared to help and were ready for anything,” Velasquez said.

“But it was important to stay calm. We have to be calm in the face of chaos all the time.”

Velasquez said as he watched the news, he went over all the protocols in his head.

“I felt good because we trained so much,” he said.

Of course, no attacks came in Fairfield but in the years since everything has changed. The way we travel is different.

The sound of a bell holds special significance for firefighters. The toll of a bell traditionally summoned firefighters to the station, signaled the beginning of a shift, notified departments of a call for help and indicated a call was completed and the unit had returned to the station.

Teenager Emma Raducanu wins U.S. Open, caps dominant run Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — Only two months ago, Emma Raducanu pulled out of Wimbledon because of “breathing difficulties” during a match. Most assumed it was a panic attack. Either way, it left the impression Raducanu would have issues coping with pressure.

She then had to win qualifiers just to enter the U.S. Open, coming into Flushing ranked 150th in the world. Raducanu wasn’t given a second thought about winning the tournament.

And now, she’s the champion.

The 18-year-old Brit dominated her fellow

teenage opponent Leylah Fernandez in Saturday’s final, 6-4, 6-3, punctuating a magical run through the bracket that nobody thought possible. Raducanu not only became the youngest Open champion since Serena Williams in 1999, she did it while winning every set through seven rounds. Her reward

was a $2.5 million purse that was handed to her on the court by a sponsor representative.

It’s eight times her career earnings.

“It was an incredibly difficult match,” Raducanu said. “I hope that we play each other in many more tournaments and See Open, Page A13

MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Will C. Wood High School’s football team blew open a tight game with 27 thirdquarter points, coming on a variety of scoring methods in a 46-6 win Friday night at Wildcat Stadium over Chavez of Stockton.

Wood was up 13-0 at the half, and after 7 minutes of play in the third quarter, it was 40-0 and the game was all but wrapped up. The Wildcats head into their bye week with a 3-1 record.

“We’re glad how it turned out but we have some things to clean up,” Wood head coach Jacob Wright said. “I was glad how we finished.”

Quarterback Ken Tilford was 9-for-16 passing for 125 yards and a touchdown. Tilford also had an interception, a fumble return for a touch-

Jayjay Olaes was the rushing leader with 18 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown. Manny Delatorre had five carries for 64 yards and a touchdown. Wood was able to pile up 233 rushing yards as a team.

Defensively, the Wildcats racked up four fumble

recoveries and two interceptions. They also had numerous stops behind the line of scrimmage that kept the visiting Titans from getting much going.

Jarren Ford intercepted a pass and raced 32 yards for a touchdown to open the third quarter scoring on just the fourth play of the second half for Chavez. Tilford took care of the next two touch-

downs, racing 52 yards for a touchdown from the quarterback position, and three plays later going 55 yards with a fumble recovery and run for touchdown from the defensive secondary.

Olaes scored again with 5:01 remaining in the third period on a 42-yard run.

“This game we started out a little slow in the first half,” Tilford said. “Once we picked up the tempo we really got going. We did a lot of running this summer and I think it gave us that extra burst.”

Delatorre accounted for Wood’s final touchdown in the fourth quarter when he capped a fiveyard drive with a scoring run from 1 yard out.

Krishna Clay converted four extra-point kicks in the game.

Vanden scores early, then holds on for 34-20 victory over Foothill Nick DeCicco

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY REPUBLIC

PLEASANTON — Vanden High prevailed Friday over Foothill at Roger Dabney Memorial Field in Pleasanton in a 34-20 win that saw the two squads combine for more than 300 yards through the air in the second half.

After dropping 20 points in the second quarter, the Vikings seemed on the cusp of running away with the game at the half with a 27-6 lead.

The Falcons moved to an air attack in the second half, with Foothill quarterback Nick Walsh throwing for 185 of his 249 yards along with two touchdown passes in the final two quarters.

But the Vikings never let them get closer than two TDs of the lead.

Ahead 27-13 at the start of the fourth quarter, a punt went awry for Vanden, setting up a first down

for Foothill at the Vanden 40. The Vikings defense thwarting the following Falcons’ drive, thanks in part to tackling Walsh for a loss as he scrambled on second-and-11.

When Vanden got the ball back with 9 minutes and 17 seconds to go, the team’s lone touchdown of the second half put the game out of reach. With 5:34 remaining in the contest, a wide open Brayden Chavez turned around to catch Tre Dimes’ pass, spun back around and sprinted toward pay dirt for a 50-yard score to gave the Vikings a 34-13 advantage.

“We had to struggle through a little bit and that’s good for our team to have to struggle through the second half and face adversity,” said Vanden head coach Sean Murphy.

Chavez’s late TD wasn’t the only time he snapped off major yardage en route to a score.

With 2:46 left in the first half, the

Falcons scored their first TD of the game to cut the Vanden lead to 21-6, with Walsh hitting Kenny Olson for the first of his two TD catches on the game.

But Vanden thundered right back on the ensuing kickoff as Chavez weaved his way through the Foothill defense and bolted down the Falcons’ sideline for a 79-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Cameron Fisherman got the Vikings on the scoreboard on their third play of the game, blasting through the middle for a 2-yard score at 9:46 of the first. In the second quarter, Fisherman carried the ball up the gut and, while in the clutches of defenders with his back to the goal line, spun to his right to break the plane for a 10-yard TD tote.

NAPA — The firsts keep piling up for the Rodriguez High football team.

At an impressive rate.

Miles Meadows threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns as the Rodriguez High football team stampeded to a 28-3 road victory Friday over Napa.

It’s the Mustangs’ first victory over Napa after six straight losses, their first at Memorial Stadium after starting out 0-6 – having gone 0-3 against Vintage there as well – the first time they’ve started a season 3-0 and made Myles King the first head coach to start his tenure 3-0.

“That’s a huge hurdle that we definitely motivated our kids with all week,” King said of the past negative history with Napa and Memorial Stadium. “They knew that they were capable of it and they went out and did it.”

With the Mustangs holding a 333-yard edge in total offense, the final margin would’ve

been greater had Rodriguez not been penalized 19 times for 191 yards or not been stopped inside the 10 three times and once more inside the 20.

“We’ve got to continue to clean it up each week,” King said of the Mustangs costly unforced errors. “We try. We’re working on it, we’ll watch the film and do our best to correct our mistakes.”

The Mustangs got on the board first on a 19-yard touchdown pass from Meadows, who completed 20 of 26 passes to eight different receivers, to Jamoryon Johnson with 9:12 left in the first half to cap a 30-yard, four-play drive. Kenen Jones swept right for the 2-point conversion to make it 8-0.

Thanks to a roughing the passer penalty that wiped out a pick six, Napa put together its only scoring drive of the night by going 57 yards in eight plays with Oscar Sotelho booting a 32-yard field goal with 7:08 to go in the half.

Regalado sets school receiving record in Armijo loss to Woodland Daily Republic staff

SPORTS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

WOODLAND — The Armijo High football team dropped to 1-3 on the season with a 73-26 loss to Woodland, Friday, but not without making some noise in the process.

Dameion Regalado caught four passes for a school-record 205 yards and three touchdowns, breaking the old record of 198 yards on five catches set by Pat Roberson against Tokay of Lodi in 1984.

Regalado achieved the fourth 200-yard receiving game in city history, topped only

by Fairfield’s Shaylon Reed against Armijo in 1996 (10 catches for 274 yards, four TDs), Angelo Perry in 2010 against Rodriguez (6-237, 3), and Reed against Napa in 1996 (8-223, 3).

“It’s a well-deserved moment for him,” Armijo coach Don Mosley said of

Regalado’s efforts. “I’ve seen the kid since he was a freshman, the work he’s put in to be better. It’s part of the process – you get out what you put in.”

The Royals trailed 34-0 when Eddie Concepcion hit Regalado with a 79-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter.

Down 41-6 at the half, Concepcion scored on a 1-yard sneak, a touchdown set up by his 70-yard completion to Regalado.

After the Royals got the ball back, Concepcion hit Regalado with a 48-yard TD toss and then connected with Kaiba Washington on the 2-point conversion.

Armijo concluded its scoring with an 8-yard TD catch by Regalado after Concepcion had connected with Washington for gains of 40 and 31 yards. That made it 50-24 and was the last of the scoring for See Local, Page A11

Giants drop playoff magic number to 4, win streak hits 6 with 15-4 rout of Cubs Tribune Content Agency CHICAGO — With an offense that’s close to full strength and several veteran hitters putting the finishing touches on the best season of their professional careers, the Giants have one of the deepest lineups in the majors.

Gabe Kapler could choose a wide variety of hitters to bat leadoff against right-handed pitchers, but he’s stuck by veteran infielder Tommy La Stella.

La Stella’s stat line from the 2021 season suggests he should be hitting near the bottom of the Giants’ lineup, but prior to Saturday’s game, Kapler insisted the club believes he’ll soon hit his stride at the plate.

In the Giants’ 15-4 blowout win at Wrigley Field over the Cubs, La Stella took a big step forward as he led another wellrounded effort with an early two-run single and a towering three-run home run to finish with a career-high five RBIs

and put an exclamation point on the team’s sixth straight win.

“To us in this clubhouse, it doesn’t come as a surprise that (La Stella) is kind of an optimal guy at the top to set the table and also to drive the baseball from time-to-time as well,” Kapler said.

After securing their seventh five-game win streak of the season on Friday, the Giants matched their season-high for consecutive victories set Aug. 7-13 and will have a chance to close out a perfect 6-0 road trip behind their emerging ace, Logan Webb, on Sunday.

The win dropped the Giants’ magic number to clinch a playoff spot to four, meaning San Francisco will have a chance to lock up a postseason berth near the beginning of the club’s next homestand.

Local: Ruff ‘s TD lifts VCS to victory From Page A10 the Royals.

Concepcion completed 9 of 19 passes for 277 yards, the seventhhighest total in school history and the most in 11 years, with Washington catching five passes for 72 yards.

“We do want to put up points,” Mosley said. “Obviously, we got things going in the second half with adjustments we made.”

The Royals have a bye this week before hosting Natomas on Sept. 24.

Vacaville Christian escapes with 7-0 win over Gustine GUSTINE — The good news is the Vacaville Christian High football team recorded its third straight shutout for the first time since 2008 and just the third time in school history.

The better news is the defensive effort was decisive in lifting the Falcons to a bruising 7-0 victory over Gustine, Friday night.

The lone score came on a 30-yard power run to the left by Dominique Ruff with 6:50 remaining in the third quarter.

“He just turned the corner, ran over the cornerback and went in for a touchdown,” VCS coach Manny Tarango said.

Ruff finished with 72 yards on seven carries to provide the bulk of the offense. Quarterback Hunter Jackson ran five times for 48 yards and completed 2 of 7 passes for 16 yards, while Wesley Krier ran for 29 yards on 12 attempts.

“The score is deceptive,” Tarango said. “It was one of those games where we got into the red zone three times . . . and penalty after penalty made it for first and goal to third and 30.

“To be honest, we had a lot of good drives, a lot of short fields because of the defense – I don’t know what more to say about them, they’re amazing.

They don’t come off the field, they keep us in the games.”

And piled up impressive stats of their own.

Bryce Pazdel recorded 10 tackles, five of them solo with three for loss; Zack Mercado amassed six solo tackles, all for loss with three sacks, 13 quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery and 45 return on the final play of the game; and David Martinez had

seven tackles, six of them solo, two quarterback hurries, a key pass deflection and the forced fumble that was recovered and returned by Mercado.

The Falcons have a bye next week before opening Sierra Delta League play by hosting Golden Sierra on Sept. 24.

Bulldogs held out of end zone in 14-9 loss GRANITE BAY — Ariel Till booted three straight field goals, one from 43 yards, but that turned out to be all of the scoring for the Vacaville High football team in a 14-9 loss to Granite Bay, Friday.

It was the first time since a 31-0 loss to Granite Bay in 2018 that the Bulldogs (2-2) were held without a touchdown.

The Grizzlies (3-1) took a 7-0 on a 6-yard touchdown run by Jayce Latson with 3:50 to go in the first quarter.

Till connected on the first of his field goals, a 38-yarder, with 1:02 left in the opening period.

He then made kicks of 43 and 25 yards to give the Bulldogs a 9-7 lead with 3:56 to go in the first half.

Granite Bay responded with a 41-yard TD toss from Noah Mitcheom to Josh Coibion with 2:13 to go before intermission.

Neither team could add to its total after that.

Darian Leon-Guerrero was limited to 34 yards on 12 carries while quarterback Ryan Vaughan completed 13 of 35 passes for 130 yards and one interception, rushing four times for 33 yards.

Timothy Plowman caught six passes for 46 yards.

Vacaville finished with 130 yards passing and 35 rushing compared to 95 passing and 185 rushing for Granite Bay, the Grizzlies holding a 280-165 edge in total offense.

The Bulldogs host Tracy for homecoming on Friday.

Winters too much as Rio Vista falls, 48-26 RIO VISTA — A onepoint halftime deficit got out of hand in a hurry as the Rio Vista High football team gave up 21 unanswered points in the third quarter in dropping a 48-26 decision to Winters, Friday night.

Quarterback Diego Torres was 7-of-9 for 104 yards, including a 73-yard TD pass to James Mentee.

Josh Davis ran

30 yards for a touchdown before being sidelined with an injury.

Marco Carillo returned a kickoff 78 yards for a TD, adding 32 rushing yards on nine carries.

Boone Hurley carried five times for 53 yards, most of it coming on a 35-yard TD dash.

All told, the Rams (2-2) finished with 192 yards rushing, 296 total.

Winters was superbly balanced on offense as quarterback Matt Moore completed 11 of 15 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, and Justice Madsen led a rushing attack that gained 270 yards by running for 136 yards and three TDs on 10 carries. Connor Ray added 89 yards and one TD on nine carries, while Memo Valadez caught six passes for 91 yards and one touchdown and David Reyes hauled in three passes for 88 yards and one TD. The Rams open Sierra Delta League play by hosting Esparto for homecoming on Friday.

‘Dirty Dozen’ birds left for Falcons in 56-6 loss ANTELOPE — David “DJ” Johnson returned a kickoff for a touchdown for the second straight week, this one an 88-yarder, but it was the lone offensive highlight as the depleted Fairfield High football team fell 56-6 to Center of Antelope, Friday.

Johnson’s return tied the score at 6-6 with the conversion attempt blocked.

For the Falcons (0-2), who were down to 12 healthy players by game’s end, it extended their school-record losing streak to 21.

“Those kids stepped up,” Falcons coach Merwyn Matsukado said.

“They knew when everybody else was down, they knew kids were playing out of position. They wanted to finish the game.

Everybody filled in in a spot. Nobody was standing around. . . . I told them how proud I was of them.”

Fairfield hosts Alhambra of Martinez on Friday.

Solano opens Delta tourney 0-2 STOCKTON

—

The Solano Community College opened the rugged Delta Classic at San Joaquin Delta College with a pair of losses, Friday.

In the first match, the Falcons lost to American River; 25-20, 25-19, 25-20.

Chris Rigney Crus led Solano with four blocks and Gina Garlic added three blocks; Dani Rydjord led the offense with 12 kills and added two blocks; Sammy Brown added nine kills and 12 digs; Kailyn Kaiser led the defense with 16 digs; Jeryn Baldonado added eight digs and 18 assists; Kailyn Kaiser and Jeryn Baldonado both had 1 ace.

“Tough opponent, but we handled a new lineup well,” Williams said. “We have a few injuries that caused us to make some last minute changes and the team adjusted well.”

Solano then took on Feather River, ranked No. 1 in the state, and fell 25-18, 25-15, 25-21.

“The back row defense had some fun digging a lot of attacks,” Williams said. “They had a busy time with defense from the defending state champs from 2019.

Kailyn Kasier led the way with 15 digs, serving 11 of 11 with two aces; Sammy Brown led with seven kills, adding nine digs; Crystal Carroll was solid in the back row with 10 digs, serving 6 of 6; and Gina Garlick chipped in five kills and one block.

“We played one of the toughest opponents we will see this season,” Williams said. “We hung in there with several rallies and tough plays. But our offensive attack was not up to par, not when you are competing with such a strong team. We need to improve on our consistency and solid serve receive passing to better our offense.”

The tournament concluded on Saturday.

Another bullpen implosion dooms A’s in 8-6 loss to Rangers Tribune Content Agency OAKLAND — The Oakland A’s entered the eighth inning with a four-run lead and left it with a one-run deficit as their bullpen’s struggles resurfaced at the worst time.

The A’s lost to the Texas Rangers, 8-6, on Saturday afternoon.

Sergio Romo gave up a two-run home run to DJ Peters and an RBI double to Yohel Pozo, leaving the game to Andrew Chafin with two outs. But former A’s catcher Jonah Heim – traded to Texas with Khris Davis for Elvis Andrus – hit the go-ahead two-run home run to give Texas its lead. Yusmeiro Petit gave up a solo home run in the ninth.

The bullpen explosion marred a strong outing for Cole Irvin, who held Texas to two runs in seven innings.

The Rangers scored in the fourth inning on three hits, the second catcher Yan Gomes nearly tagged out on the throw home – called safe, the replay review confirmed the close call.

But Irvin rebounded, striking out Heim and Charlie Culberson and then nine of the final 10 batters he faced to complete those seven innings on 93 pitches with eight strikeouts.

It was the fourth time Irvin struck out at least eight batters and first time since an outing on June 27 against the San Francisco Giants.

The A’s offense did its job to secure what seemed to be a comfortable lead.

Just hours before first pitch, the Rangers scratched scheduled lefthanded starter Kolby See A’s, Page A13

Mustangs: Solid defense sets record From Page A10 Rodriguez went 68 yards in eight plays with Leroy Bryant outleaping a Napa defender to haul in a 19-yard TD pass from Meadows with 27 seconds remaining before halftime. Malik Dawson’s conversion attempt was wide right, keeping the score 14-3.

The Mustangs didn’t score again until there was 7:18 left in the game -- and added another touchdown 8 seconds later.

Meadows faked a screen pass and, after the defense bit, found a wide

open Jeremiah Hill for a 23-yard touchdown to cap a seven-play, 73-yard drive at the 7:18 mark.

Dawson added the conversion to make it 21-3 and got to kick another with 7:11 remaining when Napa backup quarterback Yovanni Palma bobbled and dropped a snap that was scooped up Rodriguez’s Daniel Childs, who ran it in the final 8 yards for the final TD of the game.

Rodriguez outgained Napa 408-75, setting a school record by holding the Grizzlies to minus-40 yards rushing – the previous record was

minus-10 by Vallejo in 2009 – with the 75 yards allowed the sixth lowest.

The Mustangs’ record for most total yards allowed is 576 by Napa in 2013.

Bryant was the leading rusher with 39 yards on his lone carry,while Malachi Jones had 36 yards on five carries and Bentley Williams 22 yards on six carries.

Johnson led the Rodriguez receivers with seven receptions for 107 yards, while Hill had five catches for 74 yards and Jones had three grabs for 71 yards.

“It’s definitely rewarding, all the hard work

Open: Teen wins

we’ve been putting in,” King said of the victory.

“The kids are doing an excellent job right now executing, they really are.”

Rodriguez won the JV game 28-6, getting touchdown runs of 30 and 6 yards from Brian Turner and TD passes of 15 and 10 yards from Dylan Burke to Zack Carvalho and Lono Chouteao, respectively.

Carvalho and Chouteao added 2-point conversion passes from Burke.

The Mustangs host West Park of Roseville next Friday.

Vanden: JV team improves to 4-0 From Page A10 pass to Michael Belk for Vanden, with Belk smashing through a would-be tackler near the end zone stripe for the score.

passing while Belk and Chavez each had four catches for 91 yards.

“We’re happy with the win and I think we started (strong) early, which was one of our focuses, and now we’ve got to learn how to play four quar-

ters,” Murphy said.

The win moved the Vikings to 4-0 on the season while Foothill fell to 2-1.

JV: Vanden 14, Foothill 7 — Chris Clark sealed a Vikings victory with a pick 6 for Vanden. Mar-

cellus Chandler caught a long touchdown pass in the first half and successfully put two more points on the board after Clark’s TD. The win moved the Vikings to 4-0 on the season.

Fernandez, whose own Cinderella story captivated the Open, was overwhelmed by Raducanu’s power and angles. Still, it felt like Fernandez had a chance until the very end of the two-hour match, if only because she overcame similar adversity and deficits in earlier rounds. There was also some drama in the final game, when Raducanu took a medical timeout to bandage a nasty cut on her leg sustained while sliding on the hardcourt for a shot attempt.

Fernandez complained to an official about the length of the timeout in such a pressurized moment, but the reasons were clearly legit with blood dripping from Raducanu’s knee to her shin. During the long break, Raducanu sipped her water bottle and concentrated on her breathing.

She faced Fernandez’s break point and was concerned about maintaining composure.

“I thought that would throw me off because I had to serve. I was just praying I wouldn’t double fault,” Raducanu said. “But we got through it. My process and my mindset helped in those tough times.”

Wood: Gets win From Page A10 touchdown run. Tilford connected with Kristopher Butters for a 56-yard touchdown pass.

Wood struggled to score much early by piling up penalties that stalled drives and tackles behind the line of scrimmage by the Chavez defense.

Chavez scored for the only time on the final play of the third quarter when backup quarterback Deon Mao connected on a 19-yard touchdown pass to Raiden Comeaux.

Mao threw for 110 yards in the second half and had much more success then starter Luis Rodriguez, who threw for only 10 yards.

On the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the final featured two women who weren’t even alive in 2001.

It was the most unlikely of finals, a matchup of unheralded teenagers who stepped into a void of women’s tennis and captured the adoration of the New York crowd.

They took very different paths to reach Sunday’s main event.

Raducanu benefitted from a relatively easy bracket and made quick work of it. Her nerves were never really tested as the first qualifier, man or woman, to reach the Open final.

Fernandez had to topple titans to reach this stage, defeating two former Open champs – Naomi Osaka and Angelique Kerber – and two others in the top 5 – Aryna Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina. Fernandez needed three sets to advance in her previous four matches and became the darling of the crowd, which gave her an extended applause during the trophy ceremony.

“It’s incredible. I honestly don’t know what to say,” Fernandez said.

“Today is going to be hard to recuperate from.

“I hope to be back here with a trophy – with the right trophy.”

Town Square to transform once again for Oktoberfest Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — The 14th Annual Oktoberfest celebration returns Sept. 25 to Town Square with expanded beer garden seating, a car show and craft vendors on Main Street.

Vacaville’s own Pure Grain German Bakery and the Downtown Vacaville Business Improvement District will co-host a one-day version of the popular two-week beer and food festival from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The date coincides with Oktoberfest in Munich. Echoing tradition, city leaders will be on hand to kick off the celebration at noon with the traditional tapping of the first beer barrel.

Live music will be provided by the Gruber Family Band from noon to 5 p.m.

Pure Grain Bakery, celebrating 30 years in business, will sell its pretzels along with a variety of German sausages.

A number of Oktoberfest beers will be on tap. A limited number of commemorative beer steins will be available for purchase.

Admission and parking are free. Town Square is located where Main Street meets Merchant Street in the city’s downtown.

All ages are welcome. One must be 21 or older to purchase a stein or alcohol.

Those attending the event are encouraged to bring their photo ID for age verification.

Face coverings are strongly encouraged for attendees who are not vaccinated.

The co-owners of Pure Grain Bakery, Michael Miethe and Holger Seibert, are childhood friends who graduated from the same high school in a small town near Saarbrucken, Germany. They both served as apprentices in a local bakery owned by Seibert’s father.

While on vacation to the U.S., they were inspired to bring a German-style bakery to the states, choosing Vacaville because of nearby Travis Air Force Base’s large European population.

On Kacey Musgraves’ divorce album, a pop starin-waiting seeks wellness more than revenge Mikael Wood

Los Angeles Times

K

acey Musgraves’ wedding video is still online.

Posted (at least for the moment) in the digital portfolio of the woman who shot it, the six-minute mini-movie set to the Weepies’ “Gotta Have You” lovingly depicts Musgraves’ 2017 nuptials in all their artisanal farmhouse glory: Here’s the acclaimed country singer in her white gown as she nuzzles a horse festooned with flowers; here’s her husband-to-be, fellow musician Ruston Kelly, pecking out his vows on a vintage typewriter.

It’s all very sweet and festive, though now – barely a year after Musgraves ended the marriage that inspired her Grammy-winning 2018 album, “Golden Hour” – the video is laced with the phantom sorrow of what’s to come.

Country music history is full of juicy divorce records: Willie Nelson’s “Phases and Stages,” Tammy Wynette’s “D-I-V-O-R-C-E,” Miranda Lambert’s “The Weight of These Wings.”

But Musgraves’ frustrating new LP, “Star-Crossed,” catches the 33-year-old at a transitional point – less a plain-talking country act than a slippery pop star in waiting. So “StarCrossed,” which tracks the dissolution of her and Kelly’s relationship, invites a different type of scrutiny; it’s the kind of album a self-renewing artist makes to pull focus from the evidence of who she used to be.

“There is a light inside of me,” she sings near the end of the record, which is organized into three acts: falling in love, falling out of it, moving on. “There was a shadow of a doubt/ But, baby, it’s never going out.”

Musgraves, who grew up in small-town Texas, has been voicing her doubts about tradition – and about the prescribed roles women are expected to fill in life and in art – since she broke out of Nashville nearly a decade ago. With its mellow disco grooves and its lightly psychedelic textures, though, the gorgeous and moving “Golden Hour” effectively reframed Musgraves’ career; soon she was playing Coachella, touring with Harry Styles, cutting duets with Lana Del Rey and Troye Sivan.

She extends that sonic experimentation on the tender, trippy “StarCrossed,” for which she re-teamed with her “Golden Hour” producers, Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian, and which arrives as a joint release from MCA Nashville and Interscope. The songs blend acoustic guitars and glassy synths; “Breadwinner” has a late-’90s TLC/ Destiny’s Child beat, while “There Is a Light” climaxes with a jazzy flute solo.

And she’s clearly following a pop playbook in terms of rollout, with an accompanying short film (a la Beyonce’s “Lemonade”) and a performance scheduled for Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. On social media, Musgraves is leaning into the idea that her breakup

Review “Star-Crossed” Kacey Musgraves Released Sept. 10 MCA Nashville/ Interscope Records

album is perfect for crying your eyes out – a millennial’s version, let’s say, of Olivia Rodrigo’s cathartic Gen Z melodrama.

Yet “Star-Crossed” is actually a less emotional experience than the blissed-out “Golden Hour,” which practically vibrated with feeling.

Perhaps that’s because, in another break from the country norm, her marriage died quietly

rather than with anybody drunkenly riding a lawnmower into town. In interviews the singer has suggested that she and Kelly simply drifted apart – that their “season changed,” as she told Rolling Stone. And sometimes she catches that small-scale heartbreak, as on “Camera Roll,” about resisting the urge to scroll through the photos she can’t bring herself to delete, and the exquisite “Hookup Scene,” in which she describes how hard it is to replace an intimate connection.

The latter might be the most stripped-down number on an album full of colorful production touches – all the better to

savor Musgraves’ curiously affectless singing voice, which, with the right lyric, can take on an almost philosophical bent. (“Breadwinner” is the one track where she gets heated as she counsels a friend to stay away from a guy who “wants your shimmer to make him feel bigger.”)

More often than not, though, Musgraves’ writing on “Star-Crossed” is squishier and more prone to cliche than on “Golden Hour” or her earlier albums; she fears she’s “going off the deep end” on “Simple Times” and recounts her trip “to hell and back” on “What Doesn’t Kill Me.” On “If This Was a Movie” she sings about all the ways in

which art fails to capture the complexity of real life – but maybe that’s a point she’s already made with songs about a light at the end of the tunnel and a daddy telling his daughter to keep her feet on the ground.

You can hear these soft landing spots as part of the interest in wellness culture the singer has been talking about lately; certainly, only a churl would begrudge her whatever comfortable space she needs to heal from her divorce. Or maybe it just turns out Musgraves is the rare songwriter more effective in happy mode than sad – the clearest sign yet that she’s left country music behind.

Lucky Penny’s new season begins after 18-month hiatus Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

NAPA — An innovative staging of the popular “Disney’s The Little Mermaid” continues through Sept. 26 at the Lucky Penny Community Arts Center, 1758 Industrial Way. Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the classic animated musical film, “Disney’s The Little Mermaid” features all the great music of Alan Mencken.

Lucky Penny’s production uses just nine actors

(and a few puppets) to portray all the characters in the show.

“Our director for the show, Scottie Woodard, developed this new concept for the show that reduces a large cast to a small cast, and we thought that was perfect for our intimate space,” Artistic Director Taylor Bartolucci said in a press release.

Tickets are on sale at www.luckypennynapa. com. Visitors to the site are encouraged to view the Covid-19 protocols, which require all attendees to provide proof of vaccination or recent

negative test.

All patrons and volunteer staff are required to wear face coverings at all times when inside the Community Arts Center, and other protocols are also in place.

Generous donors have funded a high-tech air purifier now in use in the lobby.

Coming next in the season, original plays by regional authors in “North Bay New Plays,” Oct. 15-31, and “A Napa Valley Christmas Carol”

by Barry Martin with original music by Rob Broadhurst, Dec. 3-19.

God proclaims his truth clearly in the Bible

I

n a world where the reading and writing of books seems to have no end and opinions may be offered by anyone, it is so important to understand the teachings of the Bible.

In 1 Peter 4:11, we are cautioned, “Let him who speaks, speak the very oracles (words or intentions) of God. If any man ministers, let him minister with the ability that God has provided.”

Patrick Serna In the days we are Religious view living, words and opinions may be expressed without accountability. Merely expressing one’s opinion may be seen as acceptable without foundation.

So who was and is this Jesus? He claims to be the son of God and the savior or sacrificial lamb offered for the forgiveness of sins.

It was the tradition of the Jewish people to offer once a year a pascal lamb as an offering for the forgiveness of their sins, always looking forward to the messiah who would come.

It is so important that we who speak, speak from a place of confidence and in a manner that is understandable to the average person.

This does not mean, however, that we oversimplify or change the wording

Anthony Garand/Unsplash

to make things seem more clear to the reader for God has charged himself in the person of the holy spirit to be the divine agent of revelation and understanding.

I want to speak about the person of Jesus and the ministry he had on Earth. John chapter 1 states, “In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. Through him, all things were made and apart from Him nothing which has been made was made.” At the very beginning of creation, Jesus was there with the father and the spirit. And the father said, “Let there be light” and there was light.

In the world today, the number of religions and philosophies and attempts to explain our existence; how we came to be, what is our goal, and

what happens at the end of our time here on Earth, are far too numerous to mention. They seem to be simply the machinations of humans.

Yet, God has clearly proclaimed his truth in the Bible. Salvation is found in no other than the person of Jesus, the Christ of God, sinless and perfect and faithful to do the will of his father.

Conclusion: God has revealed everything concerning life and godliness in the Bible, and woe to the one who alters or preaches another gospel.

Jesus, our sinless and loving savior, is the key.

Letter to the Editor

Glad to see church helping out Kudos for St. Mark’s Lutheran Church (Religion Page, Daily Republic, Aug. 29).

They are reaching out for the disparate and desperate.

I grew up in a like-minded Lutheran Church in Iowa, but it was not a “hybrid church” like Dave McCallum describes for St. Mark’s. A “hybrid” church might variously describe the culture or anatomy (skin color) or even the spiritual beliefs of the attendants (or even the pastors). But, as an undersigned, one might warn or even say “woe” to a program devoid of specific biblical doctrine.

So, a logical question for any “church”– is this a church of the lord, or is this a social institution? The answer to this pivotal question may be framed by John 14:6. “Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

McCallum has recognized this truth, but, perhaps could be stated more poignantly.

True, churches need to reach out socially but they need to complete the mission of the gospel.

People around us could die destitute physically and financially but end up in heaven (like Lazarus in Luke 16: 19-31), but the “rich man” who had all of life’s comforts ended up in hell.

So the social programs without the gospel carry serious spiritual limitations as implied

by St. Mark’s Lutheran Church.

Horoscopes

Just because she is not perfect does not mean you don’t have to show her some respect and compassion.

Grandchildren intuitively love their grandparents, and anything that helps them get together, with the oversight of the parents, is a good thing.

Boundaries set by the parents can promote harmony – provided they include entrances and exits for the grandparents.

Dear Annie: I resembled the woman who wrote to say that she was staying married for the sake of her son. My then-husband quit his job shortly after the birth of our fourth son, and it took me seven years to realize that honor, marriage, family and commitment mean partnership – not martyrdom.

I worked full time, went back to grad school to enhance my earning power and did nearly all of the housework while he remained unemployed. As time

wore on, the environment grew toxic, as I was constantly angry and worried.

One night, I came home in tears at 10:30 p.m. because I had gone to the grocery store after night classes and could not afford to buy basic groceries.

Somehow, I suddenly realized I was not being a good role model for our sons. I asked myself what advice I would have for a stranger in the same situation.

I found an attorney. I gave my husband 60 days to land a job – any job, even part-time – or I would file for divorce.

After 30 days, I reminded him of my ultimatum and said that I was still serious.

At 60 days, I said I was going to the lawyer today. He asked for counseling. I said it was too late. I checked out as soon as the 60-day timer went off.

Staying for the sake of the children is noble in thought, but not worth it for anyone involved. —

Been There, Got Out and Lived Happily Ever After Dear Been There: You were really being taken advantage of, and your resolve is admirable. Sounds like your husband pushed as far as he could, figuring you would cave, but you did not. If you really are living happily ever after, more power to you.

If, on the other hand, you want to allow your husband back into your life, his willingness to enter counseling could be a healthy first step toward reconciliation. The good news is that the decisions about your future are up to you, and not anyone else, because of your strength of character. Thanks for sharing your story.

Today’s birthday A strong bout of beginner’s luck accompanies this solar return. You’ll be good at things you’ve never done before.

You’ll hit it off with new people and have remarkable wins in fresh scenes. Respect, love and connection with those of a different generation is featured. A reward in November will kick off an adventure. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 30, 2, 22 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are not strong in spite of your pain but because of it. Reinforcing this will take the edge off. If it’s not too much of a stretch, try this mantra: “This pain is making me awesome.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The power of myth and entertainment cannot be underestimated today. A story will change the power dynamics. The meek will become mighty; you can use this to your advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will think more about what’s not going well when you are amidst unwanted circumstances. Boredom, tedium and irritation fuel their own existence by attracting more of the same, unless you interrupt the pattern.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Experts can get confused and believe their mastery of one area of life carries over to all realms. A system of checks and balances will render this pitfall of power avoidable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Jealousy can help or hinder your process; it all depends on what you do with your feelings.

Acknowledge them. There’s excellent fuel here. If you direct it well, you can use it to do your most competitive work.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your brain, being efficient, sees no reason to examine things that are very familiar to you. But look twice today because there’s a change – something small, but worth noting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re still deciding if and when to transform. The process takes a lot of energy, so preparations must be made first. Before it happens, you’re like the famously hungry caterpillar, storing the fuel necessary for change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even though it’s a ride that most people would say they don’t want to take, the emotional roller coaster has a line just like all the others. Learning the range of human feeling has its thrills.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The circumstances will shift and so will the way you think about them. Try to get into situations that will afford you the flexibility to act on new opportunities as they arise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even though it seems like you’d benefit from letting someone else handle some of your workload, it’s all a little trickier than it looks. This will only go well if they do things exactly as you would.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The thoughts and input of others will strongly influence the direction things take. You can shape these impressions. Be forward-thinking. How do you want to be perceived?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is not your style to automatically assume leadership. However, you are the best one for the job today. You can lead the conversation that challenges and excites but doesn’t ruffle feathers.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Her portrayal of Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, in a film released auspiciously around a solar return puts Jennifer Hudson in an artistically beautiful and befittingly Virgoean position. The reviews are alive with words like “ageless” and “Oscar-bound” as the role takes Hudson through Franklin’s teen years up to age 29. Hudson has five luminaries in Libra: The sign of art, harmony, design and politics.

George Washington required his troops to be immunized against smallpox when he was the commander in chief of the

Continental Army in the Revoluationary War in 1777. It was an act that has been repeated by presidents and military leaders.

Mandatory immunization for the military:

As American as George Washington

O

The Washington Post

n a trip to Barbados in his late teens, George Washington caught one of the luckiest breaks of his life: smallpox.

It probably didn’t seem like good fortune just then. It was a deadly disease, and even survivors suffered miserably from fever, vomiting, headaches and pus-filled pox. But after convalescing for a month at a rented house, young Washington had lifelong immunity – a rare gift at the time for a Virginian, and one that would come in handy decades later.

By 1776, he was the commander in chief of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War, and his protection from smallpox was a factor in his getting the job. When an outbreak of smallpox devastated the young nation, he made a bold decision to require his troops to be immunized.

It was an act that has been repeated by presidents and military leaders throughout American history, including Monday, when the Defense Department announced it would require service members to get the coronavirus vaccine.

Washington knew the threat smallpox posed to the new nation, calling “the most dangerous Enemy” in a July 1776 letter to John Hancock. He described how, as recruits joined up, “I have been particularly attentive to the least Symptoms of the small Pox” and so far they had quarantined anyone with symptoms so soon “as not only to prevent any Communication [contagion], but any Alarm or Apprehension it might give in the Camp.” If people worried smallpox was spreading in the camp, they might abandon their posts, he was saying.

In one early action in Boston, where the disease was raging, Washington

sent a force comprising 1,000 men who had previously had smallpox. In another, an invasion of Quebec was called off because of so many of the soldiers had become ill.

By early 1777, Washington knew a more dramatic measure was needed.

A method of immunization called inoculation had existed in the colonies since the 1720s, but it was controversial. With inoculation, pus from an infected person was gathered, either in a small vial or by passing a string through one of the sores, and then passed through an open cut in a healthy subject. The subject became ill with smallpox, though generally with a milder case. When they recovered, they were immune.

Critics argued it was playing God, and it was banned in several colonies. Though the death rate was much lower than “natural” infection, it was still dangerous and patients did occasionally die. (The much safer vaccination method using cowpox – the word vaccine derives from the Latin word for cow – would not be developed until 1796.) Plus, because the idea had come from an enslaved African, some alleged it was a trick to get White masters to kill themselves.

But inoculation had its supporters, too. Benjamin Franklin supported it constantly in his Philadelphia newspaper. John Adams went through it in 1764; his wife and children followed suit in the summer of 1776. Even Martha Washington underwent the procedure that summer, further convincing her husband of its efficacy.

In February of 1777, from his winter headquarters in Morristown, N.J., Washington wrote to one of his army doctors in Philadelphia: “I have determined that the troops shall be inoculated ... Necessity not only authorizes but seems to require the measure, for should the disorder

infect the Army in the natural way and rage with its usual virulence we should have more to dread from it than from the Sword of the Enemy.”

He then instructs the doctor on how to administer it to the troops there, and to keep his order “as secret as possible.”

Why keep it secret? He doesn’t say in the letter, but another letter he wrote the day before gives us a hint. To Maj. Gen. Horatio Gates he said he was “at a loss” about what to do regarding smallpox, and worried that if the army underwent mass inoculation and the British found out, the enemy might attack while they were in a weakened state.

The measure was not popular among the soldiers, according to the Library of Congress. Not unlike the military today, in which vaccine misinformation and resistance festers, Continental Army soldiers came from all over the country, including places unfamiliar with or suspicious of inoculation. Still, there is no evidence of mass refusal; soldiers are trained to obey their commanding officers.

Military leaders are counting on that training again. Earlier this month, when asked if service members might refuse, Defense spokesman John Kirby said, “Members of the military understand when you sign up for the military that there are requirements laid upon you.”

So did it work? Did mandatory immunization help America win the Revolutionary War? It is impossible to prove the cause of something that didn’t happen, like, say, a hypothetical smallpox outbreak among American troops right before the decisive Battle of Yorktown. Still, we know the 1775-1782 smallpox epidemic killed more than 100,000 people, and we know that Washington’s scrappy army won the war by the skin of its teeth.

Hannalee Pervan struggled with Covid-19. Her business, One House Bakery, was honored as the 14th Assembly

District’s 2021 Small Business of the Year. The bakery is located on First Street in Benicia.

Benicia baker cherishes feeding community after contracting Covid Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

BENICIA — Imagine dedicating your life to a love of food. Now imagine losing your sense of taste and smell after contracting Covid-19.

That’s exactly the scenario that Cordon Bleutrained chef Hannalee Pervan secretly faced for the past seven months until sharing her struggle on social media.

But from the outside, no one could have guessed that the owner of Benicia staple One House Bakery was dealing with such a situation.

One House Bakery was honored in August as the 14th Assembly District’s 2021 Small Business of the Year by the California Small Business Association.

One House Bakery was making national headlines just a year ago for the whimsical life-size bread sculptures Pervan created in tribute to The Mandalorian. The bakery was even featured on “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”

While the bakery has flourished, Pervan revealed she has been dealing with parosmia, which makes foods she used to love to smell and

taste, smell or taste putrid.

“I am full of anxiety every time I eat because I don’t know what will taste like burning that day,” Pervan said in a press release. “I have spent the last 10 years deeply focused on training my palate to pick up on the most subtle nuances of food, and now I can’t tell the difference between raspberry and strawberry.”

She described the loss as “jarring” and reported experiencing severe mood swings, vertigo and depression. She now relies on memory to make her recipes from scratch and is supported by her team at One House to tastetest everything before it goes out, according to the press release.

Although challenging, it is not surprising that the staff of One House Bakery has rallied behind their leader in this way. It is, in fact, the very ethos of the name “One House.”

Pervan, on the bakery’s website, describes choosing the name.

“In many bakeries, there is a divide between the front and back of the house,” she writes. “We want our employees to feel like a team and become ‘One House.’ We want our

Some of the goodies that are available at One House Baker are on display. customers to know everything is made under ‘One House’ and we want them to feel at home.”

It is exactly that desire to build community that saved Pervan from despair, though it is not to say it’s been an easy road.

She describes crying in her mother’s arms one day and her mother gently telling her that she may have lost her own personal happiness in food – but that she hadn’t lost the ability to provide happiness to others through her food.

Pervan writes that that it is her joy of feeding her staff and community that keeps her going.

In brief

New jobless claims fall by most since late June

Applications for U.S. state unemployment benefits fell last week by the most since late June as the labor market continues toward a full recovery.

Initial unemployment claims in regular state programs decreased to 310,000 in the week ended Sept. 4, Labor Department data showed Thursday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a slight decrease to 335,000 new applications.

Continuing claims for state benefits fell to 2.78 million in the week ended Aug. 28.

Initial claims have declined steadily as vaccination progress and reopenings have increased demand for workers. Still, claims are higher than pre-pandemic levels, and economists expect economic growth to slow in the third quarter as stimulus spending moderates.

State takes on Amazon, advancing a bill that regulates tough work metrics Tribune Content Agency The California Senate voted to regulate warehouse performance metrics, approving the first legislation in the nation that will require companies such as Amazon to disclose productivity quotas at their logistics facilities, among other standards meant to make warehouse work safer.

AB 701, which faced fierce opposition from business interests, passed the Senate on a 26-11 vote.

The proposal seeks to address safety concerns in Amazon fulfillment centers across the state, where workers experience high injury rates related to closely tracked productivity goals.

The bill will face a final “concurrence” vote in the Assembly, usually a procedural step, before heading to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk for signature.

“Today’s vote is a step forward in our efforts to empower warehouse workers to have a voice in their workplace, even when their supervisor is an algorithm,” Assembly member Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego), the bill’s

Students From Page B6 used for various expenses that include tuition, books, training fees, industry-

author, said in a statement.

Caitlin Vega, a lobbyist who supported the bill, called the vote a “historic victory” for Amazon workers, with national implications because California often sets the for other precedent states with major legislative efforts.

Amazon didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

California The Chamber of Commerce, representing retailers and other industries, spent months lobbying against AB 701. It initially placed the bill on its “job killer” list, a tool relatively effective at hindering or killing legislation. But the chamber backed down and removed AB 701 from the list after proponents of the bill clarified or cut some of its provisions.

As amended, the bill would require warehouse employers such as Amazon to disclose productivity quotas for workers. It would prohibit any quota that prevents workers from taking state-mandated breaks or using the bathroom when needed, or that keeps employers from complying with health and

safety laws.

In negotiations, backers of the bill agreed to cut a provision that would require Cal/OSHA, the state’s workplace safety agency, to create a rule that would help to minimize musculoskeletal injuries among warehouse workers.

“We gave up a good amount to get moderates to agree this was something we would all need,” said Sheheryar Kaoosji, executive director of the Warehouse Worker Resource Center, a foundation-funded nonprofit in Ontario that is backing AB 701. “We think it’s a really good bill, but injury rates indicate that there’s a lot we need to do to protect workers. This is a good first step, but we won’t rest until warehouses are much, much safer.”

The bill, if signed by the governor, would give current or former workers alleging illegal labor practices the ability to pursue injunctive relief. That means instead of simply suing a company to secure penalties or damages, workers who lost their jobs could file suit to try to reverse their termination.

DAF announces vaccine guidelines for airmen, guardians Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall directed the Covid-19 vaccine implementation guidelines for Department of the Air Force total force military members Sept. 3, in accordance with the Secretary of Defense mandate last month.

The service implementation plan requires airmen and guardians to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by the following dates, unless seeking an exemption: ■ Nov. 2 – Active Duty personnel ■ Dec. 2 – Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve personnel Vaccinations will help ensure service members’ health and safety while preserving the department’s readiness and ability to execute worldwide air and space forces missions, according to department leaders.

“We are taking an aggressive approach to protect our service members, their families and their communities from Covid-19 and the highly transmissible Delta variant,” said Under Secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones.

“As members of the nation’s Armed Forces, our airmen and guardians must be able to respond to situations around the globe—being fully vaccinated will help us safely meet the readiness requirements that our national security depends on.”

60th Force Support Squadron members learn contribution to Travis flying mission 60th Air Mobility Wing Diversity and Inclusion Task Force TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — It’s important to onnect to the mission.

Connectedness, a feeling of belonging and affinity to the mission and each other, is a pivotal key to advancing diversity and inclusion. True inclusion allows everyone to make their fullest contribution to mission accomplishment and success. As a key support function to projecting rapid global mobility from the West Coast, many of the event participants experienced the awe of the flight line for the first time.

Three instructors from Travis Maintenance Training University linked military personnel flight functions to enabling the projection of the C-5M Super Galaxy, C-17 Globemaster III and the KC-10 Extender weapon systems by providing in an exterior and interior tour of the KC-10.

Eager faces walking up the stairs to the aircraft and the many questions asked displayedoutward signs of the bond developed withthe enthusiastic instructors that highlightedaircraft capabilities necessary to support the mission.

Airmen build partnerships, show skills in Port Dawg Rodeo Amelia Dickson

SSgt. Andrew Flint, 535th Airlift Squadron, demonstrates C-17 Globemaster loading capabilities to an international delegation visiting Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam for the Pacific Air Chiefs Symposium.

Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam,Hawaii— Out of six teams from six different squadrons, only one could claim the title of “Top Dawg Team” during a Port Dawg Rodeo hosted Aug. 30 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.

The 62nd Aerial Port Squadron, based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state, took home the title – in addition to wins in both the “Halverson C-17 Upload” and “Combat Fitness” categories.

“We trained for quite a while for this,” said Tech.

Sgt. Ronald West, who led the 62nd Aerial Port Squadron team. “I didn’t think I’d be as nervous as I have been today.”

While Port Dawg Rodeos have long been a way to test airmen’s skills and build relationships across units, the recent event took that relationship-building mission a step further. Each of the participating squadrons competed alongside international partners from the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and the Philippine Air Force.

The rodeo was scheduled in conjunction with the Pacific Air Chiefs Symposium, which draws international participation.

Symposium participants from international air forces – including the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, the Royal Malaysian Air Force, the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force, the Mongolian Air Force, and the Chilean Air Force – observed the

rodeo’s events.

The delegation also toured a C-17 Globemaster while attending the rodeo.

Master Sgt. Brian Tate, air freight superintendent for the 735th Air Mobility Squadron, said that competing alongside foreign partners is a great experience for Port Dawgs. The experience helps develop strong airmen, and the partnerships can last throughout an airman’s career.

In addition, it gives Port Dawgs an opportunity to show off their skills.

“Everything they did today is part of the daily job,” Tate said. “They’re going to upload planes every day, they’re going to build pallets every day, drive fork lifts every day.”

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, September 12, 2021 B9

Vaccine From Page B8 through a military provider will initially only include the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA Covid-19 ® vaccine (widely referred to as “Comirnaty®” upon receipt of U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval), which is currently the only vaccine approved by the FDA. Airmen and guardians may continue to volunteer to receive the Covid-19vaccinesapproved under Emergency Use Authorization, including Moderna, Janssen and AstraZeneca, from both military and civilian providers.

Service members are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after completing the second dose of a two-dose Covid-19 vaccine, or two weeks after receiving a

single dose of a one-dose vaccine. This includes one or two-dose options authorized under EUA or full FDA approval.

Airmen and Guardians who have proof of vaccination documented in their medical records per this definition will be considered as meeting the vaccination requirement.

Prior to receiving the Covid-19 vaccine, service members have access to healthcare providers and chaplains to address questions or concerns with Covid-19 vaccination.

Additionally, commanders must consult with their servicing Staff Judge Advocate for additional guidance on vaccination non-compliance.

Exemptions Service members have the option to apply for medical or administrative exemption, including religious accommodations.

The process for obtain-

ing exemptions for all mandatory vaccinations is provided in AFI 48-110_IP, Immunizations and Chemoprophylaxis for the Prevention of Infectious Diseases, for medical exemptions, and DAFI 52-201, Religious Freedom in the Department of the Air Force, for religious accommodations. No exemptions from the vaccine will be approved solely because airmen and guardians have an approved retirement or separation date.

Vaccination non-compliance Any refusal to receive the Covid-19 vaccine, absent an approved exemption or accommodation, may be punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Military commanders retain the full range of disciplinary options available to them under the UCMJ.

The teams competed in five competitions: center of balance and knowledge test, pallet build up, 10K forklift, Halvorsen C-17 upload, and combat fitness.

Senior Master Sgt. Marquita Glover, 60th Air Mobility Wing Military Personnel Flight chief, and Tech Sgt. Matthew Smith, KC-10 Instructor Element non-commissioned officer in charge, brought the people to the picture in efforts to foster connection and inclusion.

Inclusion unleashes potential and onesfullest contribution to the success of the group, but is inclusion possible without true connection?

We think not!Let us keep connecting and moving toward a more inclusive atmosphere.

Dietary advice, it appears, should be individually tailored.

Human beings, on the other hand, can survive eating a wide panoply of foodstuffs. The Inuit diet, for example, is historically based on meat and fish.

The Mediterranean Diet, by contrast, reflects a proclivity to consume olive oil, accompanied by wine, fish and grains. The Japanese diet, high in fish and lower in meat, seems to correlate with superb longevity.

Human dietary flexibility probably allowed our species to thrive in all habitats, from arctic to tropical. The idea of an “ideal” diet, therefore, may represent a mirage.

Consider, by contrast, the koala, a marsupial native to Australia. Koalas survive largely by eating eucalyptus leaves. They find themselves, therefore, in an evolutionary bottleneck, dependent on a single low-energy food source.

The question of what constitutes a “healthy” diet also varies based on religion, philosophical beliefs and even political outlook. These considerations deserve respect and recognition.

Moreover, a comprehensive approach to health maintenance requires considering your specific medical history, as noted above.

Meeting with a dietician can be helpful for addressing specific concerns. This column is offered solely as food for thought.
