Response to Grand Jury:

Supervisors, Cordelia Fire agree, rural districts need more funding Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Rural fire districts in Solano County need an immediate and urgent infusion of operational funding in order to better respond to the kind of devastating wildfires the county has experienced in recent years. That was a foundational conclusion reached by the Solano County civil ground jury that investigated the risk to county residents from wildfires. While the report acknowl-

edges the efforts the county is making – such as rural district consolidation – the grand jury equally made it clear that more needs to be done immediately. The grand jury report states Solano County should “immediately make resources available to the (fire districts) to deal with the new wildfire environment.” In its response to the grand jury report, the Cordelia Fire Protection District noted its full agreement to the three findings and corresponding recommendations made by the

grand jury. It supplemented that with specific areas of improvement that included a single county fire district for the unincorporated area, a single computer-aided dispatch system for the cities and the unincorporated area and “immediate and urgent shortterm funding to address the gaps in personnel, equipment and resources sufficient to address needs in 2021-22.” A unified dispatch and communications system is something the county has

been working on for a number of years. The Board of Supervisors, on Tuesday, discussed its response to the grand jury report, noting essentially the longer-term efforts that are needed. “The county’s responses to the grand jury’s findings and recommendations reflect the county’s continuing commitment to address the threat from wildfires and the actions being taken or which are See Rural, Page A10

Volunteers make Coastal Cleanup Day a success Susan Hiland shiland@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — Local Boy Scouts found nearly a complete living room set while doing the 37th Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day at the Suisun Marina. Evangeline Pace, 12, with her Boy Scouts Troop 818 of Fairfield, was surprised by the coach, along with a painting and other living room items. “It was kind of funny,” she said. “I’m glad we are doing this today because it helps keep our community healthy.”

Her father, pack leader Don Pace, brought out more than 30 Scouts along with parents and friends from Solano County for about two hours of cleanup work. For him, it has been seven years of helping remove trash from the banks of the waterways in Suisun City. “It was a really good turnout this year,” he said. Don Pace said that after all the hard work, he plans to take some of the Scouts fishing for the afternoon. There were a number of cleanup sites, including in all seven Solano County cities as

well as Solano County parks and at Lake Berryessa, most requiring volunteers to register in advance. It’s a three-hour community event that happens on the third Saturday of September and is designed not only to clean trash from local waterways but to educate people about the significance of those waterways. Amcor Rigid Plastics, a plastic bottle manufacturing company, helped with the organization for the day. This is the sixth year the company has See Cleanup, Page A10

LOS ANGELES — Amid persistent concerns that the protection offered by Covid-19 vaccines may be waning, a report released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds that America’s workhorse shot is significantly less effective at preventing severe cases of disease over the long term than many experts had realized. Data collected from 18 states between March and August suggest the PfizerBioNTech vaccine reduces the risk of being hospitalized with Covid-19 by 91% in the first four months after receiving the second dose. Beyond 120 days, however, that vaccine efficacy drops to 77%. Meanwhile, Moderna’s vaccine was 93% effective at reducing the short-term risk of Covid-19 hospitalization and remained 92% effective See Vaccines, Page A10

Indicted lawyer tied to Clinton’s campaign The Washington Post WASHINGTON — Special counsel John Durham, tasked by the Trump administration with investigating the FBI’s role in the 2016 presidential campaign, announced Thursday the indictment of a lawyer charged with lying when he gave the bureau purportedly damaging information about then-candidate Donald Trump without disclosing his ties to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The 27-page one-count indictment accuses attorney Michael Sussmann, a former federal prosecutor with expertise in computer cases, of having “lied about the capacity in which he was providing the allegations to the FBI” by claiming he was not representing a client when he was secretly acting on behalf of Clinton’s political team.

The mostseen post was the one with a bunch of letters on the screen with an explanation that the first three words you see “are your reality” (yours would be: Reading Dumb Column). Other most-seen posts include one telling you to post a photo that makes you look young, one with questions about what you would never eat and one asking whether sugar goes on spaghetti. Important stuff. If you spend much time on Facebook, you’ve probably seen many of the most-viewed posts. Facebook emphasized the same thing with the most-seen posts: That the top 20 combined to make up less than one-tenth of 1% of page views. The implication (that they want us to draw) is that most of us spend most of our social media time

seeing friends’ posts and photos. That’s kind of true. But also very, very untrue, because of what Facebook didn’t do: Report how often people posted similar information. Often misleading information. Sometimes harmful information. Curiously, about a week after releasing the report for the second quarter, Facebook finally released a report for the first quarter of 2020 – a report it earlier shelved for reasons that were apparent: The mostviewed link from the first quarter was about a doctor who died after a Covid vaccine (later reports showed the vaccine wasn’t connected to his death. Alas, the later reports didn’t get seen). That single post played a major role in spreading misinformation about the Covid vaccine. Again, not seen by most people, but still significant. It

was better for Facebook to highlight the Packers’ website, right? Most importantly, Facebook didn’t report what similar information was shared. Just on the specific links and posts. In that way, the reports are kind of useless. Social media is an echo chamber, where people hear things and share them without checking. Pretty soon, something is so widely viewed that it doesn’t matter that it’s false. People believe it. I don’t know the solution to that problem and I don’t know the specifics of how Facebook could gather information on information that is shared. But the fact that Facebook tailors advertising specifically to your posts indicates the company is capable of doing better. Reach Brad Stanhope at bradstanhope@outlook.com.

Balloons, cards from 7-year-old brighten patients’ day Tribune Content Agency COLUMBUS, Ohio — Mary Allman had been in OhioHealth Doctors Hospital for four days already, waiting on results of tests, when Aaron Raney walked into her room Monday with a shiny balloon and an attached card. “Feel better,” read the blue balloon with a smiley-faced yellow sun on it. The card was from Raney’s son George. On one side was a painting of a heart and flowers, and on the other was a printed note: “Hi! My name is George and I am almost 7 years old. My dad works at the hospital. This is for when you are recovering. I hope it helps you feel better.” It was hand-signed, “G.” Allman, 86, said her grandchildren had sent her a balloon, as well, but this gift from a stranger was a very nice and sweet surprise. “I just loved it,” said the West Side res-

Kids are amazing.” His parents, Far West Side residents Aaron (a resident surgeon) and Lena, say George is pretty amazing, as evidenced by the plan he hatched to raise money, buy balloons and have them delivered to

hospital patients. They have been well received throughout the Columbus hospital. “It was 100% percent George’s idea,” said Aaron. “He has a tender heart and is very giving. He has a soft spot for people who are hurting.” Added Lena: “He gets that from his dad.” The idea started last winter. George wanted to do a lemonade stand to raise money and help others. “And then I thought it would be a good idea if I used the money to buy balloons for the patients,” he said. Asked why, he said it was because his dad was a doctor, and George and his younger brother Theodore, 4, always ask Dad about his day when he comes home at night. “I like to know what surgeries he did, and he usually almost always says gall bladders,” George said. The family had a lemonade stand on

two afternoons in August, and George said he raised $124. Lena helped George create his card, printing out photos of his note and painting. They went to Dollar Tree and bought the first 20 balloons several weeks ago, and then the second batch of 20 on Monday. Because of COVID-19 protocols, George can’t deliver them to patients himself, so he, Lena and Theodore bring them to the hospital lobby and Aaron takes it from there. George, a home-schooled first-grader who turned 7 last Sunday, said he has money to buy about 70 more balloons, and he is thinking about having an applecider stand this fall. Asked what he planned to do with the cider-stand money, he gave his questioner a funny look and answered emphatically: “The same thing. Every single time.”

Covid booster program gets OK for seniors Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County health officials were surprised that a key Food and Drug Administration advisory panel on Friday initially rejected Pfizer’s Covid-19 booster plan. That advisory committee came back later in the day, however, and recommended boosters for anyone 65 or older and those who are at-risk. Still, there were doubts about the safety data, so the panel was not willing to recommend boosters for all Americans older than 16 as Pfizer had requested. Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, said he was surprised by the first vote. “That is completely opposite of what we expected,” Matyas said. The amended position was more in line with what he had expected and allows the county to move forward with its initial booster program.

A pedestrian walks along West Texas Street in Fairfield while wearing a Covid-19 face mask, Friday. Matyas said he also was surprised that the panel apparently rejected data from the Israeli booster program, apparently not convinced those results would translate in the United States. He said the county will focus its booster program on immune-compromised residents, primarily those who live in long-term care facilities, others at-risk such as health care workers and seniors 65 or older. Up in the air, however, is the county’s hope to extend

the program, including a mass booster clinic it wanted to have in mid-October at the county fairgrounds in Vallejo. “I think the question about boosting will continue to rear its head . . . but what (this decision) does is put the manufacturers on notice they need better data,” Matyas said. In the meantime, Matyas reported 185 new coronavirus cases – 102 since Wednesday and the others going as far back as two weeks – to take the county’s pandemic total to 43,379. That puts the 10-day daily case average at 82, but Matyas said indicators are that the surge that started shortly after July 4 is subsiding. Most critically, the number of hospitalizations continues to go down, reported Friday at 85, with 26 residents in intensive care units, Matyas said. Also improved were the vaccination levels, with 65% of all county residents 12 or older being fully vaccinated – up from 64% – and 77% – up from

76% – having received at least one shot, the county reported. There was, however, one Covid-related more death reported, a man over 65 living at home who was vaccinated. Matyas said there are additional reports he is reviewing, so he expects that number to go up. Of the 281 deaths since the pandemic started, 25 have occurred during this latest surge, and six of those individuals were vaccinated. Fairfield added 40 novel coronavirus cases since Wednesday to take its total to 11,664. Vallejo is up to 12,710 cases with 46 new reports. Vacaville added 58 to its count, now at 11,457, the county reported. Suisun City (3,062) added 17 new cases; Dixon (2,414) added 11; Benicia (1,388) added eight; Rio Vista (550) added three; and there were two new reports in the unincorporated area, taking that total to 136, the county reported. The number of active cases was reported Friday at 816,

Jobless rate dips with 1,500 more openings Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Local jobs grew across several sectors with 1,500 more positions reported in August than in July. The local jobs helped the unemployment rate to dip from 7.9% to 7.5%, the Labor Market Division of the state Employment Development Department reported. A second EDD document listed the Solano County rate at 7.3%. The number of in-county jobs climbed from 136,100 to 137,600, the EDD reported, with local education representing 500 of those new jobs with the start of school. The Professional and Business Services sector also added 500 jobs,

while food-related hospitality sites added 400, with construction, and retail each among a handful of areas that added 100 jobs, the EDD reported. The report does have an unusually high gap between new local jobs and the civilian workforce numbers, which show only 100 more local residents were employed in August than in July – a difference of 1,400. Diane Patterson, a research data supervisor with the Labor Market Division, said there could be several explanations. One is that a number of Solano residents who were working outside the county took local jobs as they became available. Another explanation is that residents outside the county filled the local jobs – noting

particularly the positions in education as an example. The civilian workforce actually went down in August, from 204,100 to 203,300. The number of individuals employed went from 188,500 in July to 188,600 in August, and the number of residents seeking unemployment benefits dropped from 15,500 to 14,900, the EDD reported. Solano County ranked 41st in the state, with the lowest unemployment marked in Marin County at 4.4% and the highest rate in Imperial County at 19.4%, the EDD reported. Among the nine Bay Area counties, Solano’s unemployment rate was the highest. The next closest was Contra Costa County at 6.5%.

up from Wednesday’s total of 773. The seven-day positivity testing rate was at 9.4%, the county reported. Solano Public Health does not post updates on weekends. The next update is scheduled late Monday afternoon. Most people who have Covid19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death. The delta variant of the virus, which is currently dominant in the U.S., is highly transmissible with indications that asymptomatic individuals can spread the virus to others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that unvaccinated people who contract the delta variant of the virus are 11 times more likely to die from the disease as those who are vaccinated.

George E. Congdon

March 26, 1924 - Sept. 10, 2021

George Congdon passed away peacefully at Paradise Valley Estates at the age of 97 years old. George was born in Peoria, Illinois, in 1924 to George E. Congdon Jr. and Thelma Clark Congdon. At age 21 years old George moved to Santa Barbara, California, where his father held the position of Chief Executive Officer for the Marine Air Station in Goleta, currently the location of the University of California. This is where George met the love of his life, Carolyn. They were married in Santa Barbara in 1949. If you had to describe George in one word, it would be productive. He began working at the age of 14 as a water boy, carrying drinking water to workers building barracks for servicemen. He later had various jobs in Santa Barbara, all of which were heavy labor. He worked as a cement finisher, a brick layer and a carpenter early on. He single-handedly built his first house in 1951 on the Mesa (Santa Barbara) with the exception of requiring his now pregnant wife to help raise the last wall. The two of them accomplished this only minutes before having to rush her to the hospital to deliver their first baby boy. In 1952 they moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. He built a house for his father while working full time for a local contractor. He said contracting was his future so he obtained his contractors license and never looked back. He was a fearless builder. He would take on any project. He built residential housing, multi-family housing, commercial warehouses, buildings, even highway overpasses. By 1970 he was the largest payor of Carpenter Union Employee benefits in the 45 Bay Area Counties. By the end of his career he had built over 7000 residential dwellings, office buildings, industrial warehouses and firehouses.

He held a tenure as the President of the Peninsula Builders Association. George semi-retired in 1974. He began the shut down of Congdon Construction Company, which took two years. He then put on his nail bags again and began building custom homes with his two boys. In 1980 he and Carolyn purchased Okell Hill Ranch in Napa, County. This 1200 acre ranch had not changed hands in 135 years. They said it was the biggest ‘lot’ they ever owned. George confessed these were some of the best years of his life. He was able to spend time with his sons, build and develop without the pressure of running a big company. George’s interests included hunting, fishing and especially golf. When it came to golf, George had the knack. He took up golf at the age of 35, joining Green Hills Country Club in Millbrae, California. In just three years he won the club championship! Golf truly became he and Carolyn’s life. They loved the game and the social aspects of the country club life. They later joined Los Altos Country Club where he also won a Club Championship! In 1980 they joined Green Valley Country Club where they were members for 40 years. George really found a home at GVCC. He loved the course and found many lifelong friendships. Most of ‘the guys’ loved to tease him for being ‘thrifty,’ which he enjoyed. If one were to examine a model of a successful life, George Congdon would be the poster child. He was a good husband, a great father, a successful businessman and was well-liked by most people. He is survived by his wife of 72 years, Carolyn; two sons, David and Jim; granddaughter, Julie; grandson Cory; and his great-grandson, Davin. Rest in Peace George.

Margaret Amy Zedek April 28, 1935 - Sept. 8, 2021

Margaret Amy Zedek, nee passed Teeters, away on September 8, 2021, at the age of 86, surrounded by her family. Margaret was born in San Francisco, the youngest of four girls, to Dorothy and Everett Teeters. Raised in the city, attending Balboa High School, then San Francisco City College, Margaret married Frank Zedek in 1957, and they moved to San Rafael in 1963, where they raised their four children. In 1977 Margaret and her partners opened the first woman-owned travel agency in Marin County, Dimensions in Travel. She and Frank travelled the world, but her favorite place was home. Beloved by her family and friends who knew her to be funny, giving, sassy and loving, Mom was happiest when surrounded by family; she loved her

house filled with laughter. She moved to Fairfield to be closer to family after losing her husband of 40 years. Margaret enjoyed retirement, hosting family gatherings, and making frequent trips to Cache Creek with her sister, Shirley, who was also her best friend. Margaret will be missed by so many friends and family, including her wonderful caregivers Lindy, Ana and Jaida. Margaret is survived by her children, Terri Vanderschans (Kevin), Frank Zedek, Stacy Nygard (Patrick), David Zedek (Karen) and 11 grandchildren: Christopher, Frankie, Ryan, Lucas, Andrew, Maddison, Amy, Nicholas, Jack, Emily and Michael. Margaret passed on their 64th anniversary, timing her entrance perfectly to join Frank to dance together, forever in the heavens.

Council schedules public hearing on redistricting Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The City Council on Tuesday will conduct its second public hearing to gather input on redrawing the six council district boundaries. “The public will have an opportunity to share with the council how they think district boundaries should be drawn to best represent the community,” the staff report to the council states. “District boundary maps will be drawn by a professional demographer in consultation with the City Attorney’s Office and City Manager’s Office based on the criteria prescribed by the law and public input,” the staff report adds. “Community input is important to the districting process and all residents are encouraged to attend hearings to provide public input.” The council is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. in the City Hall chamber at 1000 Webster St. The

public session follows a closed session at 5:30 p.m. during which the council will be updated on existing litigation. The council also will consider whether to issue special tax bonds to help acquire property for a new fire station in the One Lake development area. The action is to consider issuing bonds not to exceed $13 million, but with the anticipation that the actual amount will be $11.74 million at an anticipated interest rate of 3.46%, the staff report to the council states. The city, in 2020, also issued bonds totaling $15.28 million related to the same development. The council is also scheduled to sit as the Housing Authority board and as the Successor Agency board – all items for each are listed under consent agendas and are scheduled to be taken up with single votes. The agenda is available at the city website, fairfield.ca.gov.

Kairos Schools growing thanks to cash infusion Susan Hiland

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — Kairos Public Schools hosted its annual Kairos Innovative Scholars Program family picnic Friday with a little more to celebrate this year. The school will soon be opening an 11,000-square-foot Kairos Learning Center in the Brighton Landing Development area. The Silicon Schools Fund gifted the school $125,000 at the picnic Friday with about 75 families and children in attendance. “At the moment we are going through the city to get everything approved,” Kairos co-founder and executive director Jared Austin said. “We are looking at developing this over five years.” The school purchased 11-acres in 2018 but plans were put on hold because of the Covid-19 pandemic. “We figured out that we can do it and serve more kids,” Austin said. Co-founder Leslie Shebley, wife of Jared Austin, said it is great to be able to share the plans with students and family. “We are getting them excited about the project,” she said. Kairos Public Schools currently operates two educational options within Vacaville: a transitional kindergarten through eighth grade classroombased option on Elm Street with 500 students, and a kindergarten through eighth grade independent study/homeschool program with 130 students that is located on Alamo Drive. Kairos Public Schools is one of the highest performing schools in Solano County and identified as a

The fund was originally focused on the core of the Bay Area.

Possible power blackouts in Solano Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Several hundred PG&E customers are among thousands across portions of 13 counties that may have their power switched off Monday as the utility works to keep its equipment from sparking wildfires.

Pacific Gas & Electric Company announced the potential blackouts late Saturday afternoon. Approximately 14,000 customers could be affected. Driving the possible blackouts is a potential weather system that could bring dry offshore winds to parts of PG&E’s service area

starting Monday. Outages would begin Monday morning. The weather system could bring rain to the area, the utility said in a press release. PG&E was notifying affected customers of the possible forced outages in case rain doesn’t materialize or if wind speeds still pose a wildfire risk.

Travis airmen run with the POW/MIA and U.S. flags, above, before the culmination ceremony, bottom, for the 24-hour Remembrance Run to mark POW/MIA Day, Friday, at Travis Air Force Base.

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — It was a beautiful Fairfield morning with clear skies Friday as the POW/MIA Remembrance Run came to its conclusion at Travis Air Force Base. “Wild Blue Yonder,” indeed. The annual run takes place over 24 hours in honor of men and women who have been prisoners of war or perhaps never returned. Squads of all rank-and-file airmen trade-off relay-style to ensure that the American Flag and POW/MIA flags remain unfurled as the runners continue on their solemn course. A final crew of chiefs rounded the street chanting “left-right-left” and delivered the flags to a dais that had been set up for the assembled, which consisted of members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, military personnel and community members.

“The word ‘remembrance’ allows us to take action,” Garlow said, noting that this day has been recognized since 1979. He also made the point that so many more MIA service people have been identified in recent years with the help of DNA. However, 75% of those who are MIA were lost at sea in the Pacific Theater, he said. The Air Force estimates that more

than 83,000 men and women are MIA. “As service members, we take an oath to service before self,” Garlow said. “And for those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice, we take an oath to remember that.” Veterans of Foreign War member Michael Satterfield showed up at the event to pay his respects. He served four years in Vietnam but served a total of 27 years in the Air Force, he said. “I knew pilots that never made it back,” Satterfield said. “I’m here to pay respects to the POWs and MIAs.” Fairfield City Manager Stefan Chafin was there, as were Dixon Mayor Steve Bird and Suisun City Mayor Pro Tem Wanda Williams.

It could be worse as banged-up 49ers face Eagles Tribune Content Agency CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Last year, when the 49ers spent the week between road games practicing in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., they were coming off a win so filled with injuries that this was a fitting capper: The MRI truck broke down on its way to their temporary home, The Greenbrier Resort. This week, the 49ers were back at the Greenbrier and coming off

another victory that came with a cost. Most teams would be shaken after losing three starters to significant injuries in Week 1. The 49ers? They view attrition through a different lens after leading the NFL in injuredreserve transactions in 2020, the fourth straight year they’ve ranked in the top 10. Just listen to two players who have been with the team since 2017. “We did lose a few guys,” fullback Kyle

Juszczyk said of the season opener, “but it didn’t seem like quite the massacre that we had (in Week 2) last year.” Said tight end George Kittle: “I think we have a very healthy team right now.” The 49ers enter Sunday’s game at Philadelphia knowing it could be worse. They lost their best cornerback (Jason Verrett) and top running back (Raheem Mostert) for the season in last week’s win at Detroit, and inside

linebacker Dre Greenlaw (groin) could be sidelined for up to eight weeks. At least, however, they haven’t been hit at what are widely regarded as the NFL’s most vital positions: quarterback and pass rusher. The 49ers lost Pro Bowl defensive end Nick Bosa for the season and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a severe high ankle sprain in last year’s pre-Greenbrier win against the Jets. “Just losing the quar-

terback position has a bigger toll on the team, just emotionally,” Juszczyk said. The 49ers will now return to Philadelphia for the first time since October 2017, when left tackle Joe Staley suffered a facial fracture, safety Jimmie Ward had a broken forearm, wide receiver Pierre Garcon had a season-end neck injury and three other banged-up players exited in a 33-10 loss to the Eagles.

Two days after that beatdown, they traded for the oft-injured Garoppolo, who will hope to avoid a beating against one of the NFL’s best defensive lines Sunday. The Eagles weren’t viewed as playoff contenders after last year’s 4-11-1 disaster, but their season-opening 32-6 road romp over the Falcons has caused reconsideration.

Rodriguez goes to 4-0 with 39-8 win over West Park Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The thrill of winning their fourth straight game for the first time in 11 years – when this year’s seniors were in first grade – was dampened a bit by losing a shutout in the fourth quarter. Gerald Certeza started the scoring with a pick six and Miles Meadows threw for three touchdowns as the Rodriguez High football team improved to 4-0 for the first time ever with a 39-8 victory Friday night over first-year school West Park of Roseville at Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium. “I don’t feel like we played an excellent game,” said Mustangs coach Myles King, who wasn’t pleased by giving up the late score or by his team being flagged for 100 yards in penalties for the second straight game. “We definitely could’ve cleaned up a lot of things, but overall . . . . we’ve got to clean it up. We’re trying to clean it up in practice. It seems like sometimes we get up . . . . We have

Rodriguez’s Miles Meadows, left, passes the ball down the field during the football game against West Park at Rodriguez High in Fairfield, Friday. to clean it up on our end, we can’t leave it up to the officials.” Certeza’s interception was on the second play of the Panthers’ second possession. The pass was tipped by a rushing Rodriguez lineman and picked off at the 17 and returned for the touch-

down with 6:19 to go in the first quarter. Malik Dawson’s conversion attempt was blocked. The next time the Mustangs got the ball, they went 59 yards in seven plays with Malachi Jones going off left tackle and cutting outside into the end zone on an 8-yard run.

An attempt to run in the conversion came up short, keeping it 12-0 with 1:10 to go in the first quarter. There was no scoring for nearly 11 minutes in the second quarter, due in part to Jones’ diving interception that ended a 13-play, 68-yard West Park drive – kept alive by three penalties – inside the Rodriguez 20. Then the Mustangs got into the end zone twice in 56 seconds. Jeremiah Hill capped a 57-yard, four-play drive by catching a pass from Meadows, cutting inside and outracing the defense for a 44-yard touchdown with 1:19 to go in the half. Dawson bulled his way in for the 2-point conversion to up the lead to 20-0. The Mustangs weren’t done as a quick 3-and-out gave them the ball back at the West Park 37 with 48 seconds left. After a 28-yard completion to Jamoryon Johnson and a Kenen Jones lateral to the sideline resulted in a 9-yard loss, a scrambling Meadows hit Johnson over the middle for a 19-yard See Rodriguez, Page A9

Prep football: In battle of Bulldogs, Vacaville rolls past Tracy, 49-9 Daily Republic staff SPORTS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Ryan Vaughan threw for one touchdown and ran for another in the first quarter and the Vacaville High football team never looked back in celebrating homecoming with a 49-9 victory over the Bulldogs of Tracy at Zunino Stadium, Friday. Vaughan, who was 13-of-23 for 183 yards and two touchdowns while rushing seven times for 69 yards, opened the scoring with a 45-yard TD toss to Anthony Wiley. The first of Ariel Till’s six conversion kicks made it 7-0. Later in the first quarter, Vaughan ran 29 yards for

LOCAL REPORT another touchdown. Kyle Wright booted a 31-yard field goal to put the visiting Bulldogs on the board with 1:26 to go in the first quarter. They wouldn’t score again until late in the third. The host Bulldogs (3-2), who snapped a two-game losing streak, made it 28-3 at halftime with second-quarter touchdown runs of 12 and 1 yards by Blake Espino and Amani Holliday, respectively. Vaughan’s second touchdown pass of the game came with 3:42 left in the third quarter, a 14-yard throw to Matthew Ochs to up the lead to 35-3. Less than a minute later, Tracy

(2-2) found the end zone for the first and only time on a 59-yard run by Dwayne Thomas, the conversion try failing. Vacaville tacked on two more touchdowns, a 70-yard romp by Darian Leon-Guerrero in the third quarter, and an 8-yard run by Aiden Roschi in the fourth. Gracie Caulfield kicked the conversion after the final TD. Leon-Guerrero finished with 160 yards on nine carries, while Timothy Plowman caught three passes for 71 yards and Cameron Faucher had five receptions for 25 yards. Vacaville amassed 486 total See Local, Page A9

SAN FRANCISCO — Alyssa Nakken’s new “Built for October” shirt was already soaked with beer and champagne by the time she reached into the tub of still-corked bottles nearby in the San Francisco Giants’ clubhouse at Oracle Park on Monday night. No one looked askance when Nakken added another bottle to the waves of alcoholic precipitation unleashed that evening. In fact, a few coaches and players held up their phones to get a picture. “We saw the bottles there. They needed to be popped,” Nakken, a Giants coach since 2020, said with a shrug the next day. “No hesitation.” Even when they are drenched in the friendly haze of shared celebration, major league clubhouses are not traditionally places women find themselves free of hesitation. But most major league clubhouses are not like the Giants’, where everyone seems capable of improving and no one seems stuck in

any old ways. It seems almost certain, for example, that Nakken, who became the first woman to coach on the field in an MLB game last year, is also the first woman to cover a big league uniform with one of those October T-shirts, pull down her goggles and pop a bottle or two. In the Giants’ clubhouse, though, – as on the field during batting practice or in the dugout during games – she blends in as one piece of a uniquely crafted puzzle. “I feel like one of the guys, although sometimes I’m like, do I want to feel that way?” Nakken joked. “I think my point is, everybody is different in there.” No one – not even the Giants – expected San Francisco to be the first team to clinch a playoff spot in 2021. They were supposed to be a couple of years away from making a legitimate run to October, particularly because the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres looked far more ready. But somehow, the Giants got See Giants, Page A8

Florida falls to No. 1 Alabama in heartbreaker, 31-29 Tribune Content Agency GAINESVILLE,Fla.— For the second year in a row, Florida hung with mighty Alabama for four quarters. And for the second year in a row, the Gators came up short. No. 11 UF scored in the closing minutes but had its two-point conversion stopped short, as the No. 1 Crimson Tide eked out a 31-29 win in front of the most energized crowd Ben Hill Griffin Stadium has seen in years. The Gators (2-1, 0-1 SEC) fell behind early with a defense that reverted to its historically bad 2020 form. UF had at least three notable blown tackles. Rashad Torrence missed on third-and-9 that would have ended the drive. Tre’Vez Johnson whiffed on one a few plays later on Alabama’s first touchdown, a pass from quarterback Bryce Young to Jase McClellan. And Amari Burney’s failure to thwart a screen led to a third-and-short during another touchdown drive for the Tide (3-0, 1-0).

UF’s defense tightened, however, stringing together three consecutive three-and-outs in the second quarter. The Gators’ offense was limited. The home crowd booed starter Emory Jones in the second quarter after he missed a wide-open Justin Shorter and then rushed for four yards on third down. They weren’t booing moments later when, thanks to a defensive pass interference on fourth down, he handed it off to Malik Davis, who powered up the middle for a 26-yard touchdown. UF missed the extra point. UF didn’t have many other options besides Jones. Coach Dan Mullen told CBS before the game that dazzling redshirt freshman Anthony Richardson would only play if Jones got hurt; Richardson is recovering from a tight hamstring he sustained last week at USF. The Gators rallied in the second half. Dameon Pierce ran for a score. Jones ran for another to cap off a 99-yard drive See Alabama, Page A9

load instead? “Kap has a way of making everybody feel psychologically safe in this environment that can be tough at times,” Nakken said. “Fans, media, being in the public eye. When we’re in the dugout and in the clubhouse, there’s a sense of safety there.” Giants hitters take batting practice on the field when they want to, and they don’t when they don’t. Players speak to the media from a Zoom room where a candle burns on the table. Veterans such as Posey know when they will play and when they won’t, and Giants coaches make sure they adhere to those schedules. Giants pitching coaches – noteworthy in part because there are more than one – emphasize strike-throwing. Walks cause trouble, but walks are avoidable. And Kapler wants his pitchers to work quickly not only because it hurries hitters but also because it exudes confidence. Given the choice to look confident or not, why would anyone choose the latter? In addition to hitters doing what they need when they need, Giants coaches emphasize taking as much extraneous thought as possible out of the process. One aspect of the approach is looking for a pitch in a certain tunnel. If you see it there, swing. If not, hold off. Like so much of the Giants’ approach, the plan is not necessarily novel, but the

known for rethinking baseball norms, but his unusual approach had often earned him more criticism than success. As manager of the Philadelphia Phillies in 2018 and 2019, Kapler finished two games under .500 in two seasons and was in charge when clubhouse turmoil spilled out into the press. Veteran first baseman Carlos Santana later told ESPN that he liked Kapler, but “sometimes the manager cannot control the clubhouse because everybody [is] doing their thing.” He has faced even more serious questions about his leadership, too. A 2019 Washington Post investigation found that as head of player development for the Dodgers in 2015, Kapler was accused of failing to report a woman’s accusations of assault against one of his players to the proper authorities and instead trying to mediate a conversation between the alleged victim and players. Kapler later wrote on his website he was not aware the allegations included sexual assault and he would have handled them differently if he had known. But his past has not stalled progress in San Francisco, where his emphasis on “the process” and the present seem to have clicked with a franchise looking for rebirth. As Kapler and his coaches see it, the game is hard enough: Why add the weight of preconceived routine to aching backs when they can lighten the

themselves ready. As of Saturday morning, San Francisco owns the most wins in baseball and is on pace for more than 100 victories for the first time since 2003. The Giants lead the Dodgers by a two games in the National League West. They have blown away expectations from start to finish, something few teams in recent baseball history have been able to do quite so emphatically. But these Giants are different – intentionally, deliberately different. President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi and Manager Gabe Kapler built the largest coaching staff in baseball and did not shy away from hires who, like Nakken or bench coach Kai Correa, had never played in the big leagues. That staff has overseen unfamiliar levels of consistency from very familiar names. On the San Francisco Bay, catcher Buster Posey, shortstop Brandon Crawford and first baseman Brandon Belt are known as “the old guys,” the holdovers from the teams that won World Series titles in 2012 and 2014. Teammates wear T-shirts that read “let the old guys play,” though no lobbying is needed. Posey, 34, is hitting .299 with an .892 on-baseplus-slugging, his highest OPS since his MVP season in 2012. Crawford, 34, known more for his steadily shimmering defense than for being one of the game’s

top offensive infielders, is hitting .299 with an .896 OPS. Belt, 33, who busted through for a career year in 2020, owns a .948 OPS, which would be second among first baseman behind only American League MVP candidate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. if Belt had enough at-bats to qualify. The Giants’ pitching staff, too, has transformed from an unheralded group of low-priced reclamation projects to one of baseball’s best. The San Francisco bullpen has the lowest ERA in baseball. While other teams are building bullpens on high velocity and high spin rate, the Giants are averaging the lowest fastball velocity of any MLB bullpen. They own the best strikeout-towalk ratio in the National League, in large part because they walk the fewest batters in baseball. “This started in spring training; you remember we started talking about ‘push the pace, pound the zone, know your plan,’ ” Kapler said. The Giants appear to be a team in sync, disciplined without being dogmatic, comfortable without being complacent. Many players credit their coaches for success when they find it, politely checking the box of spreading praise around the room. But few teams do so as often the Giants. And few teams have a manager as averse to box-checking for its own sake than this one. The 46-year-old Kapler has always been

Local: Vanden, Vacaville JVs go distance From Page A7 yards, 303 of it coming on the ground, while Tracy had 292 yards, 241 of it rushing. The orange and black have their bye next week before opening defense of their Monticello Empire League championship by hosting Fairfield on Oct. 1.

Improved Falcons fall to to Alhambra, 27-0 FAIRFIELD — The final score wasn’t particularly close and the Fairfield High football team extended its cityrecord losing streak to 22 games, but the Falcons’ 27-0 loss to Alhambra of Martinez at Schaefer Stadium was a victory of sorts, Friday. The Falcons were coming off a 56-6 loss at Center of Antelope in which team unity and cohesion had at times frayed. “We improved and we’re just going to keep improving,” Falcons coach Merwin Matsukado said. “To the coaches and to me, it was great. The kids were like 110 percent better than at Center. They actually gave up at Center before halftime. This one they felt they could actually come back and win. They were down 21-0 after the third quarter and were still going forward. Unfortunately, whenever we made first down a flag would come out. It is what it is. The yardage part, the score part didn’t matter. What we know is we got better on offense, got cleaner on our defense.” The Falcons (0-3) host Dixon on Friday before opening MEL play at Vacaville on Oct. 1.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, September 19, 2021 A9

Rodriguez: Wins From Page A7 TD with 23 seconds to go. Dawson’s conversion try was wide right, keeping the score 26-0 at the break. The third quarter belonged to the Mustangs as they took the second-half kickoff and marched 58 yards in six plays with Meadows hitting Johnson in the right corner of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown on third-and-goal. Two possessions later, Kenen Jones, in for Meadows, faked a handoff to Da’Maynie Nelson-Wilson and went up the middle for a 14-yard touchdown with Dawson’s conversion making it 39-0 with 2:59 to go in the third quarter. With a running clock in the fourth period, the Panthers (0-4) put together a nifty scoring drive on their last possession of the night, going 64 yards in eight plays with Develle Barksdale hitting a wide-open Cade Vickers on fourth-and-9 from the 26 for a touchdown with 6:23 to go in the game. Barksdale added a 2-point conversion pass

to Zy Style to make the final score 39-8. “We always want the goose egg, the zero, but I think it’s more important to get the twos (reserves) in and get the reps,” King said. Meadows was 10-of-17 for 167 yards with the Mustangs rushing for 119 yards, led by Malachi Jones, who amassed 72 on eight carries. Johnson led Rodriguez receivers with four catches for 62 yards, while Hill had three catches for 55 yards and Malachi Jones two catches for 44. The Mustangs held West Park to 3 yards rushing and 133 passing, 48 coming in the fourth quarter. Rodriguez looks to go 5-0 in its non-league games when it hosts Northgate of Walnut Creek next Friday. In the JV Game, Rodriguez (3-1) fell 42-28 with Jayden Lewis-Chandler running for two touchdowns and a 2-point conversion, and Brian Turner and Zack Carvalho getting one TD each, the former on a run, the latter on a pass from Dylan Burke.

Giants: Better From Page A8 buy-in has been. “Early on in my career, everyone is telling me, ‘Stop swinging at a slider low and away.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I’d love to, but . . .’ ” outfielder Darin Ruf said. “Now if I train my eyes to look up and in against guys that might be trying to spin it down and away, it can help me a little bit to lay off.” None of this is as simple as it seems, of course. But these Giants have made it look that way. “Going into this year, I think our staff and our players as well, we resonate really well when there’s a clear and

cohesive North Star,” Nakken said. Entering this season, Giants veterans placed that North Star squarely over a division title for which no one expected them to contend. If some higher power rewound the baseball season and ran it through again with the same coaching staff and same attitude, perhaps none of this would have clicked quite so completely. Perhaps the Giants wouldn’t have a chance to hold off the mighty Dodgers. But no one in San Francisco would even consider pushing rewind at this point. If anything, the Giants decided to push fast forward.

49ers: Play Eagles From Page A7 play-caller, and firstyear starting QB Jalen Hurts earned high marks after the Eagles gained 434 yards on 6.5 yards per play. And familiar faces such as All-Pro defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and Pro Bowl pass rusher Brandon Graham were part of a defense that had three sacks and nine QB hits while not allowing a touchdown. Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams noted the Eagles

are now running a 3-4 defense under new coordinator Jonathan Gannon, but plenty remains unchanged after Philadelphia ranked third in the NFL in sacks (49) last year. Last year, the 49ers couldn’t meet the challenge in their Week 4 loss to Philadelphia, an early sign they wouldn’t be able to overcome their injuries in a 6-10 season. “I don’t think we’re headed down that path,” Juszczyk said. “Hopefully, it’s confirmed on Sunday.”

Alabama: Survives From Page A7 that made it a five-point game going into the fourth quarter. UF’s pass defense consistently bailed ‘Bama out. Brenton Cox pushed a Tide receiver on one third down in the third quarter to keep a drive alive. Alabama scored a touchdown seven plays later. On the next series, UF appeared to have a stop, but Avery Helm’s pass interference negated a third-and-7 stop. That series ended in a 24-yard field goal that put ‘Bama ahead 31-23 with 9:25 left. UF had a chance to tie it with 3:10 left after

Pierce rolled to a 17-yard touchdown. But the Tide snuffed out the delayed handoff from Jones to Davis; it came up a yard short. Alabama pounded out a first down on thirdand-short on the next drive to help seal its eight consecutive win in the series, including last year’s 52-46 SEC championship triumph. The Gators had one final gasp with four seconds left, but Jones’ scramble was stuffed.

Vaccine: FDA From Page One after 120 days. Overall, 54% of fully vaccinated Americans have been immunized with the Pfizer shot. The surprising findings came as a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel recommended against offering booster doses of the Pfizer vaccine to all Americans ages 16 and older. In a striking rebuke, 16 of 18 experts told the agency it had not mustered enough data to make a third shot the norm. In lengthy briefings to the panel, representatives from Pfizer pointed to clinical trial results involving 306 mostly healthy participants to argue that a booster “restores” the 95% vaccine effectiveness rate seen earlier in the pandemic. Company officials also touted evidence from Israel, which rolled out boosters after seeing a rise in hospitalizations among people who were fully vaccinated. Those hospitalizations dropped

dramatically after third doses were given, Israeli scientists have said. But panel members made clear that despite Pfizer’s aggressive stance, it had not gathered enough evidence that a third shot was safe for young people and for those at lesser risk of becoming severely ill with Covid-19. “We need age-specific data” on the safety and protective benefits of a further booster, said Dr. Ofer Levy, a panel member who directs the Precision Vaccines program at Boston Children’s Hospital. FDA clearance for booster shots for everyone 16 and older would be seen as something “close to a mandate,” said Dr. Eric Rubin, a panel member and infectious-disease expert at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Rubin worried that such a move could redefine what it takes to be considered fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

From Page One under consideration,” the letter to presiding Superior Court Judge Donna Stashyn states. “This includes working with the fire districts to explore opportunities for reorganization and coordination of resources and opportunities for increasing durable, ongoing revenue sources.” The county’s response noted that under Penal Code Sections 933 and 933.05, the Solano County Board of Supervisors was responding to the recommendations and findings contained in the 2020-21 grand jury report titled, “Wildfires on the Horizon Solano Homes at Risk! Findings and Recommendations.” And while Supervisors Jim Spering and John Vasquez are on record supporting the need for a countywide funding source for rural fire protection needs, what that funding source will be and for how much has not been determined. Vasquez said in a phone interview Thursday that a sales tax or parcel tax increase are still possibilities, and if a sales tax, something in the area of what was raised for the libraries – a oneeighth of a cent bump – might be the target. However, both supervisors have said that they need to know what the full picture of needs is before deciding how much funding is needed, and therefore what kind of funding is needed. “One of the things we have to look at is where we would put (fire stations) if there weren’t any (district) boundaries,” Vasquez said. That was part of the thinking behind the county buying the old Fall School site on Rockville Road. While the $550,000 purchased preserved the current Cordelia station operations, the site also works for a newer, modernized fire station for wildfire response in the future. “There is sufficient space available on the site for expanded fire operations should resources become available and a long-term

It further notes the challenges the fire districts face as cited in a report funded through the Local Agency Formation Commission, including a shrinking tax base. “In response to these circumstances and combined with increasing patterns of severe drought and rapid spread of fires from rural areas into urban communities, the Board of Supervisors and county staff have been actively exploring options for wildfire prevention and improving responsiveness to wildfire events in rural areas of the county,” the letter states. That includes searching for grants to supplement the funding. The Cordelia district letter, signed by Fire Chief Dave Carpenter, notes the value of grant money but stated it takes time to get it. “The county received a grant to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan . . . . The completed plan increases opportunities to pursue other grant opportunities for equipment, facilities and short-term staffing. The county is in line currently for grants to facilitate establishment and coordination of fire safe councils to increase resident com-

munications and planning for evacuations and evacuation routes and creation of defensible spaces,” the county response states. “Current grant opportunities total (more than $1.27 million) and the county is actively preparing to apply for additional grant opportunities as they become available,” the county letter states. The county also received $1.9 million from the state for “fire monitoring and emergency notification equipment such as sirens, monitoring cameras, more defensible cell tower spaces and better cellular coverage to rural customers,” the letter states. It also notes funding for weed abatement needs in fire-risk areas. The grand jury also requested comments from the Local Agency Formation Commission and the fire districts. The county response does include LAFCO actions, but no formal response nor any response from other districts besides Cordelia had been filed as of Thursday.

Cleanup: Volunteers give huge effort From Page One helped with the event in Suisun City. “This year the weirdest thing we found was a grill,” said Yany Williams, Human Resource coordinator for Amcor Rigid Plastics. Along with the Boy Scouts were Rodriguez High School Leadership students, making for 75 volunteers this year. “That is a great number,” Williams said. “We got this done really fast this year because it is in better shape than years past.” “Many hands make for light work,” said Liz Hunt, den leader for Troop 818. It was her first time at the coastal cleanup. “One of the things you don’t think about is how trash impacts little things in the community,” Hunt said. Trash makes its way through waterways, creeks and rivers to the Delta, polluting water and the environment along the waterways. Similar cleanup activi-

Allison Martin, education manager with the Solano Resource Conservation District, reports that more than 21,000 pounds of trash debris and 500 pounds of recyclables were collected by nearly 1,500 volunteers across the county and at Lake Berryessa. Nearly 500 pounds of cans and bottles were separated from the debris for recycling, Martin reports. “This Coastal Cleanup Day has shown us that

despite the pandemic, the volunteer spirit is thriving here in Solano County and that people care deeply about the health of our community and the environment,” Narcisa Untal, senior planner for the Solano County Department of Resource Management, said in a prepared statement. “It’s important that we continue to examine what waste we are generating every day and to make sure that we are disposing of it properly. That includes making sure CRV beverage containers are always making it into the recycling stream and not in the trash or our

local waterways.” Solano County shares a border with one of the biggest tributaries draining about 50% of California’s runoff water to the Pacific Ocean: the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Pollution from Solano County cities flows into storm drains and other waterways before continuing to the Sacramento River, Suisun Marsh, Carquinez Strait or San Pablo Bay. From there, the water drains to the ocean. Remove trash upstream – on city streets and waterways in Solano County – helps prevent garbage, single-use plastics and recyclable cans and bottles from entering the ocean, thereby protecting wildlife while also beautifying local communities, according to Coastal Cleanup Day coordinator Marianne Butler with the Solano Resource Conservation District, which coordinated the day’s activities in Solano County.

Lawyer: Michael Sussman indicted From Page One Sussmann was scheduled to make an initial court appearance Friday morning. The charge marks the second criminal case brought by Durham in the two years since he began examining possible misconduct or crimes at government agencies in 2016 as they pursued evidence of alleged links between Trump and Russia. It’s unclear how much longer Durham plans to continue his work as special counsel, but Sussmann’s indictment could prolong the investigation, since he has sought to win Sussmann’s cooperation against other individuals of interest to the special counsel, according to two people familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe Durham’s legal strategy. Legal experts promptly cast

doubt on the case’s broader significance, saying the alleged transgression seemed relatively minor given the length of time Durham’s team has been at work. “If this is all Durham’s got, it has a feel of trying to justify his existence for the last two years,” said Randall Eliason, a former federal prosecutor who specialized in corruption cases. In the course of investigations, Eliason said, “there are a lot of cases that could be brought but aren’t because they are so trivial. And this seems to fall into that category to me. The indictment itself says the FBI already knew Sussmann was a lawyer for the Democratic National Committee.” As a special counsel first appointed in a Republican administration and now working in a Democratic one, Durham occupies an unique place inside the Justice Department, largely free of the kind of supervision given

most federal prosecutors. And his indictment of Sussmann, hinged on a broad application of a law typically used to charge those who lie to investigating agents, is likely to intensify the politically polarized views of his assignment. Durham was tasked with exposing wrongdoing at the FBI or other government agencies, but the indictment instead argues the FBI was a victim of a crime, forced to expend resources investigating digital data given to them by Sussmann that ultimately proved worthless. The charge against Sussmann, well-known in Washington, D.C. legal circles but a relatively obscure figure to the general public, is unlikely to satisfy Trump’s thirst for arrests of former senior government officials he blames for the Russia investigation, which overshadowed much of his presidency.

Studio, in July after relocating it from Olney to Columbia. “She asked . . . and I thought, ‘How can I not?’ ” Ford said. “It is really an amazing program. It speaks to everybody’s heart.” Around Ford’s shop, she has displayed Harrison’s creations. Rapunzel’s long blond hair braided with flowers, Jack Sparrow’s dark braids with beads and a red bandanna, and Elsa’s signature long white braid are all easily recognizable hairstyles of the beloved Disney characters. “They are so beautiful,” Ford said. “They are quite elaborate these wigs. Very labor-intensive.” Before the coronavirus pandemic, Harrison would host events with volunteers – everyone from Scouts and youth groups, to mom groups and friends – working together to complete a wig. “Instead of paint night, you go out with friends and do the same sort of thing but work on a wig and do something good,” Harrison said. “I would bring the beanies and they would attach the yarn and add the ribbons, rhinestones, whatever that character needed.” Ford is hosting a Magic Yarn Project event at her shop at noon Sept. 26. She also ordered extra yarn for the wigs to keep in her shop for anyone interested in the project. “You don’t need any knitting or crocheting skills at all,” Harrison said. “People can cut yarn. You can help.” Harrison is thankful for the support Fuchs and Ford have provided and is excited to bring more attention to the Magic Yarn Project. “When you see what all these kids are going through, it’s heartbreaking,” Harrison said. “This is all for the kids.”

Tribune Content Agency BALTIMORE — Delivered by pirates to So Original Yarn Studio in Columbia, Maryland, a large box filled with skeins of multicolored yarn was indeed a treasure chest for recipient Brittany Harrison. As the Baltimore area chapter leader of the Magic Yarn Project, a nonprofit that provides free character wigs to children dealing with cancer and other medical hair loss, Harrison will create mermaid wigs and the pirate Jack Sparrow’s famous locks with the help of a generous donation by HoCo Pirate Adventures, a pirate-themed scavenger group, for the month of September – national Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. “The whole situation is really three separate, really beautiful stories,” said Harrison, of Sykesville. “I love the idea of what we can all accomplish together, the ripple effects just from one thing.” It begins with Harrison, who first started crocheting character hats for her children as a hobby in 2016. When she discovered the Magic Yarn Project on Facebook, she started shipping her creations to its headquarters in Alaska until the nonprofit started different chapters around the country in 2019. Now, she delivers her creations to local charities, including Casey Cares Foundation, which is based in Baltimore, and the Ronald McDonald House Baltimore. She has also delivered wigs to Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlantic Region and Sinai Hospital, as well as individual requests. “There is so much need locally,” Harrison said. “This is a huge yarn donation. A hundred skeins of yarn is 75 wigs. That’s huge.”

Brittany Harrison creates wigs and hats for children with cancer for the nonprofit Magic Yarn. Chris Fuchs, head pirate of HoCo Pirate Adventures, donated $700 to Harrison’s Magic Yarn Project chapter after she approached him over the summer with the idea. “This is the best thing we’ve done yet,” Fuchs said. “It’s a win, win, win.” Since July 2020, Fuchs has been organizing monthly pirate-themed scavenger hunts for youth throughout Howard County. The hunts are typically available 24/7 for about 10 days, with treasure maps available to download for a $5 donation. A portion of the fee is used to purchase “treasure” for the hunts and another part is used to give back to the community, Fuchs said. Past donations have been to organizations such as Howard County Special Olympics and the Howard County Police Department. “I always try to go local,” said Fuchs, who requested that Harrison find a local yarn shop to make her purchase. That request wasn’t easy, Harrison said, as many of the smaller yarn stores were unable to order the massproduced yarn Harrison requested for the wigs.

Time Bandits drummer records ‘Aspiration Flame’ Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Time Bandits drummer Darrell Lee Echols Sr. has stepped out from behind the skins to pen a new song that will soon enter the band’s rotation. Echols wrote “Aspiration Flame” during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown. “My brother Vic had turned me on to the amazing world of DAW (digital audio workstation recording ),” Echols shared in an email. “So I went all in recording my music ideas with so much home time on my hands. The Time Bandits and my side band, The BlackRock Project, was on indefinite hold at that time and I needed a creative outlet,” he wrote. “During that time, I noticed many people I knew were moving to other states for whatever reason, so that was the inspiration for the lyric having lived in the North Bay so long and still diggin’ it here.” Echols has written a “high volume” of completed songs and tons of “stems and pieces” of music, he wrote. He did a full CD, “Pull For Love,” 15 years ago that he is thinking about revisiting and remastering. Echols describes his writing process as pretty straightforward. “I create the music first in my home recording studio setup by setting the tempo of the music idea first, as a ‘home’ multi-instrumentalist,” he wrote. “I’ll add one instrument at a time ( guitar bass, keys, brass arrangements, etc ). No plug-ins or other prerecorded stuff.” Everything he records is meant to be played with real musicians, he wrote. Echols then gets a starter lyric and takes it on a journey to say what he wants. The Time Bandits got involved with “Aspiration Flame” with Echols and bandmate Jeff Curtis exchanging Waveform Audio Files. “I sent him my original music draft idea of the song before I had any lyrics and he added piano and ‘Santanainfluenced’ lead guitar on his own DAW at his house,” Echols wrote. “This past April, the band showed an interest in the song and bandmate/sax man Wayne Gross reharmonized my original horn arrangements and transcribed them for The Time Bandits’ horns.” The tune’s Latin rock influence comes from Echols growing up in the North Bay listening to bands such as Santana and Malo. His love of horn bands such as Tower of Power, Chicago, and Blood, Sweat & Tears played a role. “We in Fairfield/Solano County have a very rich music history of local horn bands,” Echols wrote. Hearing The Time Bandits play “Aspiration Flame” at rehearsal was bliss. The band takes rehearsal time seriously. “I love that,” Echols wrote. “Sitting at the drum chair at our rehearsal space, it was and is a total joy watching everyone in there with the attention to detail for not just my song and all our songs.” Echols helped co-found the band in 1995 and has many fun memories, including local gigs at the Suisun waterfront, Vacaville Creekwalk See ‘Flame”, Page B3

Glass Cactus will perform at CandyPalooza in Fairfield, Saturday, Sept. 25, and Sunday, Sept. 26.

School of Rock band Glass Cactus ready to share tunes at CandyPalooza Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Glass Cactus, the house band for Vacaville’s School of Rock, plays music for the joy it, not to live a rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. “They are asked to do things like haul gear and volunteer around the school,” Leslie Silver, owner of School of Rock in Vacaville, wrote to the DR. “They are expected to help all students feel welcome and included. House Band members should show up with a positive attitude and strong work ethic during all rehearsals and shows.” “There is no room in House Band for big egos, bad attitudes or complaining,” Silver wrote. “House Band is not about any one student or ‘star’ – it’s designed to be a team effort.” Band members, who range in age from 12 to 17, go through an audition process led by the School of Rock’s music director. The current lineup was formed in March. They will perform Saturday and Sept. 26 at CandyPalooza at Jelly Belly Candy Company in Fairfield. The gig is perfect for a band that plays community events, fundraisers, street fairs, parties, private and corporate events, races and festivals. Members have the opportunity to learn more songs and play more shows, and in

doing so, the performances help one grow as a musician, Silver wrote. Musicians get a “real band” experience that’s different from regular performance program groups, she wrote. Song assignments are merit-based and band members are expected to learn songs quickly, thoroughly, and perform at a high level. Glass Cactus plays a variety of music from R&B to metal. The setlist includes tunes from Aretha Franklin, Blondie, Paramore, The Clash and many more. “The music we chose is meant to teach fundamentals of music, including theory while keeping our students engaged because it’s a lot of fun,” Silver wrote. The band consists of Danny Spadaro, 17, guitar, bass and keyboards; Roman Gamboa, 15, bass and guitar; Zack Silver, 17, guitar and bass; Aaron Kitzes, 17, drums, keyboards and saxophone; Italia Maneri, 12, vocals; Angel Santa Cruz, 15, vocals, guitar and drums; and Emma von Duyke, 13, vocalist and keyboards. Spadaro, in an email, said music has interested him since he was young. “Although it sounds a bit silly, kids shows like The Wiggles or Big Time Rush that had music in them interested me at a very young age,” he wrote. “I was also introduced to a lot of music genres that my parents and grandparents had listened to such as jazz, blues and soul. Artists like Stevie Wonder, Michael Buble and Smokey

Papa Roach has released a new single and announced that the band will tour briefly with Breaking Benjamin.

Papa Roach releases new single; posts tour dates with Breaking Benjamin Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Papa Roach has just shared “Kill The Noise,” an anthemic, instant-classic Papa Roach single and second track from their forthcoming album. The song, produced by WZRD BLD, aka Drew Fulk, (A Day To Remember, Bullet For My Valentine, Lil Wayne) and Andrew Goldstein (All Time Low, Blackbear, Linkin Park, Maroon 5), is described as an example of heavy riffs and emotional lyrics, driven by singer Jacoby Shaddix’s ongoing mission to help anyone overcome mental struggles and anxieties. The accompanying music video, directed by Bryson Roatch, takes the viewer on a journey of escaping the confines of your own mind through a raw and energetic performance.

On their new single, Shaddix shared in press materials, “It’s easy to get caught up in some of that static inside your mind – we all tangle with that demon. For us, ‘Kill The Noise’ brings some straight-up heavy music catharsis, a reminder to find that moment of peace from the noise.” Fans can stream the new single and music video today at https://papa-roach.ffm.to/ killthenoise. “Kill The Noise” comes off the heels of Papa Roach’s “Swerve,” featuring Jason Aalon Butler (Fever 333) and Sueco. It can be streamed at https://papa-roach.ffm.to/ killthenoise. Papa Roach will join Breaking Benjamin on a handful of shows this fall while also taking the stage at both the Blue Ridge Rock Festival and the inaugural Rebel Rock Fest.

Robinson come to mind when I think of these genres.” Being a part of Glass Cactus is important to him, he wrote. He enjoys working with his bandmates and looks forward to rehearsals and shows. The musicians have bonded. “It’s also cool to be with other kids who have the same passion for music and performing,” Spadaro wrote. “We all have a lot of fun together whether it’s practicing or performing. I’m very lucky to be in a band with talented kids who I consider close friends.” There are some challenges. “Although being in this band is fun, it isn’t for everyone,” Spadaro wrote. “It takes a lot of dedication and hard work since the songs we do are quite advanced. We rehearse and perform a lot, but I’d say it’s not really a problem for the group since we all love what we do.” His musical influences include Michael Jackson, John Mayer, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Prince and Stevie Wonder. “A lot of my guitar playing and improvising are influenced by John Mayer, who also appreciates the blues,” Spadaro wrote.

Emmys 2021 predictions: Who will win vs. who should win Tribune Content Agency If you somehow weren’t aware of all the buzz around “Ted Lasso” already, you will be when the Emmys air Sunday night. The sweet, simple Apple TV+ sitcom about a college football coach who moves to England to lead a soccer team broke through the mainstream like few TV shows have done since streaming services flooded the marketplace, holding its place in the pop culture conversation like “The Sopranos” and “Mad Men” did in their day. The show earned a whopping 20 Emmy nominations in its freshman season, but that still leaves plenty of categories and chances for everyone else at the TV awards ceremony, airing Sunday on CBS at 8 p.m. ET. Here are our best bets on how the awards show – hosted by comedian and actor Cedric the Entertainer – will go.

Drama series Will win: “The Crown” “The Crown” didn’t earn

24 nominations this year just to walk away without the top award (which, by the way, would mark the first top series win for Netflix). Sure, the characters are almost all insufferable, but that’s mostly just because some of their real life counterparts are too. Should win: “Lovecraft Country” Not all of Misha Green’s horror-filled nightmare story worked, but man did she swing big. And when it did work, it was at once terrifying and thought-provoking and beautiful and haunting. HBO already canceled the series, despite Green’s public pleas, but the Television Academy should be celebrating her originality.

Comedy series Will win: “Ted Lasso” Let’s just get this out of the way here: “Ted Lasso” is, barring a scandal that even Hollywood couldn’t make up, going to sweep the Emmys. You’re going to get sick of seeing Jason Sudeikis’ face See Emmys, Page B3

Emmys From Page B1 on the stage (or on Zoom in another tie-dye hoodie). They’re going to be chanting for Roy Kent from the rafters. “Ted Lasso “will be everywhere. Should win: “Ted Lasso” None of the above is to say that “Ted Lasso” is undeserving. This sweet, silly Apple TV+ sitcom deserves the world. Give it every award you have to give. Beyond the pop culture references, beyond the puns, beyond Roy Kent’s grunts and Rebecca’s karaoke, “Ted Lasso” is about being nice. There’s no better message than that.

Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt and Nick Mohammed in “Ted Lasso.”

Will win: “Mare of Easttown” Honestly, any of the five nominees in this category could take home a win and nobody would complain (well, someone would, but someone always complains). HBO’s “Mare of Easttown” has recency bias and also Kate Winslet’s accent, giving it the slight edge. Should win: “I May Destroy You” Michaela Coel’s “I May Destroy You,” produced for both HBO and Britain’s BBC One, simultaneously represented the best and the worst of humanity: our cruelty and violence directed at those who don’t warrant respect, and the righteous indignation that fuels change. We watched Arabella fall apart and put herself back together time and time again, each time a little stronger than before. The only person who wasn’t represented in some way on screen is the one who’s lying to himself.

Smollett, “Lovecraft Country” If Jurnee Smollett’s only contribution to “Lovecraft Country” had been that scene where she took a baseball bat to a bunch of cars, she still deserves this award. Luckily for us, Letitia Lewis was so, so much more than that: a Black woman with a fire that kept burning when everyone was dousing her with water to shut her up.

Actress in a drama series Will win: Emma Corrin, “The Crown” Princess Diana was what F. Scott Fitzgerald would call a “beautiful little fool.” Corrin, who played the people’s princess with a heartbreaking innocence and naivety, deserves a trophy before Kristen Stewart’s movie version takes over the crown. Should win: Jurnee

Actor in a comedy series Will win: Jason Sudeikis, “Ted Lasso” I warned you, this is the year of “Ted Lasso.” Should win: Jason Sudeikis, “Ted Lasso” Do you think Sudeikis knows he’s going to be referred to as “‘Ted Lasso’ star Jason Sudeikis” for the rest of his life? “‘Ted Lasso’ star Jason Sudeikis sweeps 2021 Emmy awards.” “‘Ted Lasso’ star Jason Sudeikis hosts rom-com convention.” “‘Ted Lasso’ star Jason Sudeikis teaches the world that being kind isn’t weak or cowardly. It’s the best of what we have to offer.”

Actor in a drama series Will win: Billy Porter, “Pose” Jonathan Majors was a breakout star in “Lovecraft Country” and he’ll likely be reminding us of that fact for several decades. But Porter’s Pray Tell in this FX series about

sance is here to stay. “Watchmen” Between and “Mare of Easttown,” actress Jean Smart was finally getting the credit she deserved. Then came “Hacks” on HBO Max and a role of a queen, built for a queen and knocked out of the ballpark by a queen. A washed up performer fighting to keep her career? Simply couldn’t be Jean Smart. Should win: Jean Smart, “Hacks” Kaley Cuoco deserves a lot of credit here for her mid-meltdown character in “The Flight Attendant” and any other year she’d have a much better chance, but Smart’s Deborah Vance is unforgettable and unavoidable in the best way. Forget an Emmy; the true award of the season is an insult from Deborah herself.

Today’s birthday You’ll start a new project with high expectations and higher energy, and experience tremendous beginner’s luck. It won’t take much to convince friends to join your adventurous antics as this solar return amplifies your charm then concentrates it into the twinkle in your eye. Ask, twinkle and receive. Pisces and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 22, 1 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You treat people well, and they usually reciprocate. Even when they don’t, as long as you uphold your own standards of character, the interaction is a win for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re happy with the product of your hard work, yet you know better than to get too comfortable. A brief acknowledgment, then you’re off seeking further improvement. This is what gives you the competitive edge. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Today’s superpower: Whatever you focus on, you’ll fix. So focus on the fix that affects many – the one that will ripple out and correct a whole collection of problems. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A new friend opens your eyes to another side of life. You’ll see options you missed before. You’re especially compatible with earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re up to something. You’ll talk or write about it, involve others, investigate and quest. There’s a sparkling air of excitement around these ambitions of yours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re trying to learn something. The ideal teacher is not the one who is the best at this; you can also rule out anyone who comes by the skill naturally. Seek help from the person who learned it the hard way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a knack for meeting the rare, special unicorn of a person who solves the strange problem or embodies traits that don’t usually go together in one person. These types are drawn to you for good reason. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). “Look at me” has never been your style, but you stand for justice. This cause calls you to stand out for justice as well. Not all attention is supportive, but you’ll gain power with each eyeball you attract. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The blind spots that once held you back will now be your point of focus. You’ll clearly see the wrong assumption you made. Your new, more accurate understanding makes the old problem avoidable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Learning gives you a palpable buzz of energy you can store to apply when the opportunity opens. Your craving for knowledge will never be sated, so luckily, there is always more to learn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Before you rally the troops, establish the point in which all should meet. This could be a location, but it can also be a definition of the problem at hand. To solve the problem, first agree on what the problem is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to go too far to explore worlds. Books and the internet will take you there. However, talking to people in your family, or people in your daily life, will bring a more visceral and immediate experience.

Get your fix of Vitamin D by participating in outdoor activities, like these two in Central Pennsylvania. Running, walking, and

yes, even skateboarding, are great ways to get out and soak up some needed sun.

Our bodies need to thrive

Prevent vitamin D deficiency, diseases during pandemic By K endall Hernandez For the Daily Republic

Vitamin D is an important vitamin that our bodies need to thrive. It ensures the buildup of strong bones by absorbing calcium. The daily recommended intake of vitamin D is 15 micrograms in adults, and about 100 micrograms for children. Most of one’s intake of vitamin D comes from the sun and sunlight. However, if there is not enough of this vitamin in the body, it could cause diseases that include rickets and osteomalacia. Rickets is a disease found in children who lack the proper amount of vitamin D in the body. It is characterized by weak bones and deformities of the bones. Bone mass is usually decreased, causing discomfort and weakness of the muscles. Osteomalacia is another disease caused by vitamin D deficiency and is found in adults. Because bone growth has already fully occurred in adults, osteomalacia does not cause bone deformities as rickets does to children who have not had full bone growth. However, osteomalacia does cause bone weakness, pain and muscle aches. Some studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is seasonal. Vitamin D levels tend to increase during the spring and summer months when there is more sun-

shine and people are outside, and they tend to decrease during the fall and winter months. It is possible, though, for levels of vitamin D to decrease during the recent Covid-19 era, where the community has had “stay-at-home” orders. The question now is, how can we prevent vitamin D deficiency during the Covid-19 pandemic?

Get outside The best way to ensure that you are getting the proper amount of vitamin D is to be outside soaking up the sunshine. Simple outdoor activities such as exercising, gardening and playing outdoor family games will help prevent vitamin D deficiency. If you are in quarantine or isolation at some point during this pandemic, being outside will be more difficult. There are some other ways in which to ensure your vitamin D levels do not drop.

Eat foods with high levels of vitamin D There are many foods that are high in vitamin D. Some natural sources of vitamin D in foods include salmon, mackerel, egg yolks, liver oil and liver. If these do not sound appealing, there are some other fortified food options that are also a major source of vitamin D. These include fortified milk and

fortified breakfast cereals. Be sure to check the label of some of these fortified sources of vitamin D in order to confirm that what you will buy is in fact high in vitamin D.

Vitamin D supplements The final way to be sure that you are meeting your daily recommended intake of vitamin D is to speak with your doctor about vitamin D supplements. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends supplements to infants who are breastfed because breast milk is low in vitamin D. In addition, those who may benefit most from vitamin D supplements include individuals who do not normally consume dairy products, individuals with dark skin pigmentation and individuals who have limited exposure to the sun.

Vitamin D is important for our bodies to function properly. There are many ways to meet your daily recommended intake even during a pandemic. Participating in outdoor activities, fortified and natural food sources, and supplements are all ways in which to ensure you do not develop vitamin D deficiency and diseases during quarantine.

349th officer earns PACAF Master Sgt. Jose Aquilizan 349th AMW Public Affairs

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Maj. Joshua S. Park, an intelligence officer assigned to the 349th Operations Support Squadron here, was named the 2021 Pacific Air Forces Outstanding Air Reserve Component Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Field Grade Officer of the Year. Park, who has been assigned to the 349th OSS since 2013, has provided large-scale joint exercise planning support to PACAF at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, since December 2020. While trips to Hawaii are synonymous with relaxation, the Reservist has made the most of his temporary duty assignment. “The intelligence career field is extremely diverse with many different missions and specialties, and I always encourage my folks to get out and participate in COCOM exercises and MPA tours to see all the exciting things ‘intel’ does,” said Lt. Col. Joseph R. Palacio, 349th OSS senior intelligence officer. “As a result, we have established a stronger team that’s built on a broad array of experience, and Maj. Park is a great example of this. He has represented the 349th AMW well, and we’re definitely proud of him!” Each year, the Air Force honors outstanding performance in Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions and exceptional contributions to the field of ISR through the United States Air Force Warfare

749th deployers return to Travis 349th AMW Public Affairs Staff TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Nearly 30 airmen from the 749th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron returned Aug. 13 to Travis Air Force Base – a Friday, but a lucky day nonetheless. Family and friends of the returning deployers met them on the flight line to welcome them home from the Middle East. Maj. Gen. Jeffery T. Pennington, 4th Air Force commander, who was at Travis for training, shook hands with airmen as they disembarked and thanked them for their hard work. The general also presented a challenge coin to Capt. Erin K. Walsh, 944th Aircraft Maintenance unit officer, who stepped up to fill a deployment requirement on short notice. “We are incredibly proud of our airmen and their families for their contributions, sacrifices and hard work during this, and many previous deployments,” said Col. Erin C. Cook, 349th Maintenance Group commander. The KC-10, which is being phased out at Travis over the next two years, will be replaced with 24 KC-46s in 2023. “The deep experience our airmen gained from their many years of service with the KC-10 will translate well to the Boeing KC-46A Pegasus as we usher in this new capability and what it brings to the fight,” Cook said.

Overdiek, 749th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron commander, looks optimistically into the future when summing up the capabilities of his force and the new airframe.

“Each member of the 749th AMXS deserves credit and gratitude for building our proud 20-year legacy of deployed KC-10 operations,” Overdiek said. “Our airmen consistently

delivered strong leadership and unrivaled technical expertise, which ultimately provided air superiority, put bombs on target and saved coalition lives. As we pause from our deployed mission to

begin our next chapter, this strong leadership and know-how in our airmen will ensure our successful conversion and combat readiness for future KC-46 deployments.”

Federal agency awards $10.5M contract to support KC-46A at Travis Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — A contract to support the new air refueling jet that’s scheduled to arrive at the base has been awarded to a company that’s based in Oklahoma. Ross Group announced Thursday that Ross Group Design-Build LLC, doing business as Ross Group Industrial, has been awarded a firm, fixed-price contract by U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southwest

as the prime contractor for the delivery of an upgraded fuel distribution system and associated airfield paving at Travis Air Force Base. The contract has a value of $10.5 million. Ross Group’s work will consist of constructing the distribution system and related paving needs to provide additional parking and refueling capacity for the KC-46A aircraft. This work will involve reconfiguring aircraft parking aprons, 200 and 300 ramps, and See KC-46A, Page B6

an associated fuel hydrant system to support KC-46A aircraft. The project is in support of the “bed down mission” to provide capacity to accommodate 15 KC-46A aircraft at Travis Air Force Base, according to a company press release. “We are excited to join NAVFAC Southwest on this very important project,” said Mike Smith, COO of Ross Group Industrial and Ross Engineering LLC. “It is an honor to be entrusted with the upgrades for this critical space and fueling system.” Ross Group’s industrial division, Ross Group Industrial, is located in Oklahoma City. It will provide overall project execution. Construction continues at the base for a new three-bay hangar to serve as the base of operations for the new KC-46A Pegasus. Travis Air Force Base is scheduled to receive this latest aircraft in August 2023. It’s the first new aircraft at the base since August 2006. The base’s full anticipated complement of KC-46s is expected by the first quarter of 2025.

The KC-46A is designed to boost the air power and mobility operations of the Air Force. The high-capacity aircraft, which displaces the KC-10 Extender and replaces the KC-135 Stratotanker, will aid global missions and improve the ability to respond rapidly to crises and contingency operations around the globe. Travis was selected as the West Coast home for the Pegasus in January 2017 for several reasons: geographic location, existing tanker programs and better infrastructure capacity, according to Gary Thresher, contract support, managing Travis’ projects for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center. Basing the KC-46A at Travis requires numerous projects to renovate existing facility space or construct new facilities for mission functions that lacked sufficient resources or did not previously exist, 1st Lt. Alexander Bellows, KC-46 program integration office bed down project manager, has said. That work continues at the Fairfield base, to include the construction of a three-bay maintenance hangar at an estimated cost of $137 million, with completion anticipated in February 2023. A total of approximately $188 million will be spent on projects to make Travis ready for the new tanker.

Advisory council urges indoor mask mandate The Advisory Council to the Napa/ Solano Area Agency on Aging represents more than 100,000 seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers residing or working in Solano County. Our stated mission is to advocate and enhance the quality of life, health, independence and dignity of older adults. We are mandated by the Older Americans Act, Section 1321.57, to provide leadership in confronting and addressing issues that affect older adults. The relentless persistence of the Covid-19 virus and its variants continues to endanger the public health of all residents, especially our most vulnerable population – older adults. Covid-19 is a public health crisis that the council believes compels the immediate implementation of additional mitigation measures to reduce the spread of the virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, SARS0CoV-2 infection is mostly transmitted by inhaling respiratory droplets generated when people talk, cough, sneeze, sing or breathe. The CDC recommends community use of masks to prevent virus transmission. Masks also help reduce droplet inhalation by the wearer. The more that people wear masks when indoors, the faster this virus will be brought under control. Masks save lives.

Will Solano mask up? The CDC has released data that says Solano County should mask up indoors based upon a case rate of 500 per 100,000 and a 6.5% test positivity rate. The Covid-19 transmission is rated as “high.” Yet Dr. Bela Matyas insists all of this is happening at social gatherings. Funny. I don’t see work or school as a “social gathering.” Benicia and Vallejo have issued indoor mask mandates. Since Solano County lacks the will to do so, will Fairfield or Suisun City find theirs?

reported it but did not follow up on the consequences of that act by the perpetrators. Because Larry Elder is considered an African-American, you’d think it would have been treated as a “hate crime,” but no, that is not the case. Instead, the perpetrator was treated like the assault was an exercise of “free speech.” Not only that, there was no follow-up to gain information about the perpetrator, but interestingly, on my broadcast media station I was watching after the report of the assault, was a campaign advertisement by former President Barack Obama speaking against the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom. It’s sort of ironic that the broadcast media seemed to say it’s OK to assault a Black person for challenging Newsom and reinforce that assault by having another Black person (Obama) agree with the assaulter’s reason for throwing the egg. And as of yet, no outrage from Newsom that one of his supporters would resort to violence against his leading opponent, nor the mention of a hate crime. And where is BLM? Where is their outrage that a Black person has been treated with such disrespect? Does the only life that matters have to be one who agrees with their dogma? Apparently so, because only the liberal viewpoint matters and not common decency. In California, liberal free speech is not a hate crime. The Rev. Morris A. Curry Jr. Vacaville

SMUD’s decision a real slap in the face

Since the virus continues to threaten public health, the Advisory Council to the Napa/Solano Area Agency on Aging strongly urges the immediate adoption of an indoor mask mandate throughout Solano County until such time as the virus is rendered harmless.

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

ongress is tied up in knots over the scope and financing of President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion basket of enhanced social, educational and medical benefits. Although Democrats control – on paper – both houses, their majorities are paper-thin and their leaders are being buffeted by competing demands from the White House, their party’s left wing and moderates whose votes are needed for any final product. As the nation’s most populous state, California obviously has a major stake in what the ultimate package will contain, if there is one. But the state has another, less obvious stake in how it’s financed because of something called SALT. Dan Walters It stands for “state and local taxes” and four years ago, a Republican-controlled Congress and GOP President Donald Trump, as part of a major tax overhaul, imposed a $10,000 limit on how much SALT could be deducted on personal income tax forms. In a tradeoff, the 2017 tax legislation doubled the standard deduction. The two actions had the effect of increasing federal taxes on highincome residents of high-tax states such as California while lowering the federal bite on low- and middle-income taxpayers. A 2018 state study found that it cost high-income Californiansan extra $12 billion a yearin federal taxes. The Washington-basedTax Foundation, which analyzed federal income tax data from 2018 returns county-by-county, reported recently that the SALT limitation had its greatest impact on taxpayers in high-income counties in high-tax states such as California, New York, Maryland and Virginia. In California, that meant San Francisco and other Bay Area communities such as Marin, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. In Santa Clara, for instance, the average tax return with itemized deductions reported outlays of $46,817.53 in state and local taxes, but could deduct just $8,931.28 due to the SALT limit. When the SALT limit was enacted, leaders of the most affected states howled, claiming that Republicans were punishing them because of their Democrat-leaning politics. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo complained the loudest, worrying aloud that the SALT limit would encourage the rich to relocate to low-tax states such as Florida and Texas. There’s no evidence, at least yet, of a massive out-migration of high-income Californians, although there have been specific moves, such as Tesla’s Elon Musk to Texas, which has no income tax. Nevertheless, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer of New York and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California have been trying ever since 2017 to undo the SALT limit, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom has publicly supported repeal. That’s why California has a big stake in how Biden’s “human infrastructure” package would be financed. The White House wants an array of tax increases on corporations and high-income taxpayers and SALT ceiling foes see it has an opportunity to undo it. But how? Politically, it’s a tricky issue for Democrats, who want to change the limit without appearing to provide a windfall to the wealthy. Putnam Wealth Managementhas published a monologue on the potential ways the SALT limit could be modified or repealed, one of which would place an income limit on restoring deductibility so that those with the highest incomes would not benefit. Other alternatives include doubling or tripling the limit or changing the Alternative Minimum Tax. The situation is another reminder that there is no right or wrong when it comes to tax policy at any level of government. What is taxed – whether income, sales or property – and at what level are purely arbitrary decisions that reflect the politics of the moment, not the higher moral purpose that politicians often claim.

At what point does Travis get added to a BRAC list? What height will be the next generation of wind turbines? SMUD “looked at other location options” but the criteria was profitability and the Travis location provided the most. Ironically, the energy generated by these turbines only benefits customers in Sacramento while our community and Travis deal with the negative consequences. Travis Air Force Base is Solano County’s largest employer with a $1.6 billion annual budget. Putting renewable energy generation and profit ahead of protecting the base is irresponsible. Let’s not risk our community and the viability of Travis Air Force Base. It’s not too late for Solano County residents to tell SMUD to pick another location.
