Ken and Anneliese Tupper donned their finest Bavarian Kleider for Oktoberfest in downtown Vacaville, Saturday.

Oktoberfest Downtown Vaca transforms for 14th annual

VACAVILLE — It was eine grosse party (a big party) Saturday in downtown Vacaville as the 14th Annual Oktoberfest drew hundreds to partake in German culture and food.

Several people got into the spirit by donning lederhosen and dirndls, traditional Bavarian garb.

Bryan Eckert came all the way from Marin with his German wife to celebrate the season. He was bedecked in lederhosen and a smile, saying he appreciates German culture and even spent part of his youth in Munich.

As for the clothing, he said it wasn’t entirely authentic: He bought it on Amazon.

“It’s actually from China,” he

House budget panel advances Biden’s giant tax, spending bill Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The House Budget Committee advanced a draft version of President Joe Biden’s signature tax and social spending measure, a milestone ahead of possible votes on the floor of the chamber next week.

Lawmakers voted 20-17 in a mostly partyline ballot to move the bill forward during a rare weekend meeting.

Congressional Democrats are using a fast-track budget process to ram the up-to-$3.5 trillion economic package through the Senate, bypassing Republicans.

As part of the process, the Budget Committee must assemble the 13 component parts of the bill reported out of policy committees this month,

The economic package would raise $2.1 trillion in revenue through measures including tax increases on corporations, the wealthy and tobacco users.

said and laughed.

Two city blocks were dedicated to the event, which was started by two German bakery owners, Michael Miethe and Holger Seibert, who own Pure Grain Bakery in Vacaville. They both come from a small town outside Saarbruck, according to the downtown Vacaville event announcement.

The town center was packed with tables for those working their way through hearty German fare.

The line for bratwurst and sauerkraut was long, but the beer line was longer. Bands played all day, with the Gruber Family Band providing the most oopah oomph.

No one seemed to notice that they were, at times, singing in Spanish. But there was an accordion, an Oktoberfest staple, so

I can at Instead of watching TV, we’d do least attempt them. Sudoku is an elimination puzzle. You can something else at about 9 p.m.

usually figure things out if you just keep trying and eliminating possibilities.

It turns out crossword puzzles are just as hard as I remembered them being.

Because of the blasted puzzle makers.

People who put together crossword puzzles have two major problems: n They give clues that have multiple answers. n They give clues that no normal person could solve.

I can figure out most clues that don’t fall into those categories. But invariably, I run into the second or third clue in a crossword puzzle and it’s something like this: “A five-letter word for fast.”

What the heck? A five-letter word for “fast?” Maybe swift?

Quick? Rapid? Speed? Fasty?

Those types of clues just

make me mad. I’m allowed to be sloppy – I commonly make grammar errors and misspell words and expect grace from readers. But the people who put together crossword puzzles and school tests should be exact, right?

Right?

Anyway, those are the clues that have too many answers.

The other frequent irritating crossword puzzle clue is the clue that no normal person could solve.

Invariably, a crossword puzzle will have a clue like, “The mythical river credited with the founding of Glasgow.”

Or, “Tippi Hedren’s beau in ‘The Harrad Experiment.’ ” Or, “Third-most-popular character in written Mandarin.”

I could see how someone could know one of those things.

Maybe a Scottish historian or

movie buff or Chinese language expert. But who knows all of them? Who knows two of them?

When these clues invariably occur, I just get mad. “Who does these puzzles?” I ask Mrs. Brad, who looks up from her painting with a patient smile. “Some sort of wizard?”

By then, I’m just mad.

Of course, there is the occasional payoff if I stick with it and keep trying the puzzles.

Eventually, there’s a clue I know. Sometimes, it’s not even easy.

Maybe it’s: Warriors last All-Star Before David Lee (Latrell Sprewell) or Philly Group that Sang “Love Train” (The O’Jays).

Or maybe it’s this: Better puzzle than crossword (Sudoku or Highlights maze).

Ax-throwing, Viking-style, Vaca library board agrees to comes to Dixon for tourney boost year’s spending by 20% Susan Hiland

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

DIXON — The ax is not heavy and it flows over your shoulder like water, making a satisfying thud when it hits the bullseye after it is released from your hand.

Anyone who wants to do something competitive and off the beaten path can stop by Victory or Valhalla and get the experience of throwing an ax. large whiteThe and-yellow tent along Interstate 80 grabs the eye.

“We wanted a place that was fun and safe for people to come and hang out,” said Keith Demaray, the manager.

He and his sons, Jens and Adam, started the business with the idea of having a place families can come to during the pandemic to have fun – with room enough that it wasn’t a problem following safety guidelines.

They also wanted to connect with their Viking heritage since Keith’s wife has Nordic genes.

Jens Demaray and his brother, co-owners of Victory or Valhalla, have been avid Dungeons & Dragons players for more than 20 years. They played with friends and family members, slowly getting into more varied types of interests – like axthrowing and swordplay.

“Basically, we are big kids that didn’t grow up,” Jens Demaray said.

They tried getting places in Sacramento and Woodland, but each one

fell through. Then they spotted the place along Interstate 80, which had just been sold.

“I work in real estate and found who bought it and convinced them to let us rent it,” Jens Demaray said.

Victory or Valhalla is most interested in the fact that ax-throwing is one of the traditional games held at a seasonal Norse blot. The blot was a celebration mixed with a religious ceremony, basically a large party.

“They lasted weeks,” Keith Demaray said. “The Vikings would return from raiding with tons of meat and goods.”

Things like roast meats, ales and meads, feasting, chanting, singing, fighting and games were all commonplace at the various types of blot.

The family run business allows visitors to come take up an ax and throw it at a target.

Hitting the target at certain areas gives you points. The closer to the center of the bullseye, the higher the points.

They realized they might have something that people would love to do when Jens Demaray put a video on TikTok demonstrating how to throw an ax and got 50,000 hits from it.

“I had no idea what TikTok was but I was impressed that many people were interested,” Keith Demaray said.

People form leagues and come out on the weekends or during the week

for friendly competitions.

Dozens of visitors came out Saturday for the Haustblot Prize Tourney, which featured three sections – ax-throwing, Live Action Role Play combat and Historical European Martial Arts combat, or HEMA. HEMA combat is a martial arts form of European origin that included swordplay but has since died out or evolved into very different forms of combat.

Victory or Valhalla also has a hay maze for younger children, games and classes on how to make mead, a Viking Round Shield and horns.

“You take a horn and shape it for a cup. You can’t place that on the table because of the shape.

This was one way to keep someone from poisoning you,” Keith Demaray said.

These games are a bit dangerous and everyone participating needs to sign a waiver, wear good shoes and be ready for some exercise.

Julio Bernal, 39, of Vacaville, came out with his four friends to celebrate their friend Adain Diaz’s birthday. He turned 40 and they thought it would be fun to do something new.

“We have known each other since third grade,” Bernal said.

Victory or Valhalla does not offer food but does allow visitors to bring their own refreshments, including beer.

VACAVILLE — The Vacaville library board on Thursday unanimously approved a revised 2021-22 budget that boosts total spending by nearly 20%.

The $15.3 million budget was $2.5 million more than the budget presented in June, said Solano County Library Director Suzanne Olawski.

are outdated and expensive to repair. the budget After was approved, Library Commissioner President Cathy Valdez updated the board on library goings-on.

Valdez said she was excited about the anticipated expansion of the Vacaville Public LibraryCultural Center branch and looked forward to sparking community engagement via workshops and other interactive feedback sessions before the project is finalized.

Valdez said the Summer Reading Program was a big

success, with more than 3,000 books read by the community’s youth. A fall reading program will kick off Oct. 6, with an emphasis on books that help youth learn about money.

If participants complete 10 books or three hours of reading, Travis Credit Union will give them a prize, she said.

Fairfield board hears some good news with update Susan Hiland

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Superintendent Kris Corey reported some good news on the Covid front this week at the regular school board meeting Thursday.

She said out of 237 Covid tests that were administered, the results came back with no new Covid cases as of Thursday morning.

Staff continues to provide contact tracing and testing as required by law but was overwhelmed, so the district hired a new coordinator to help keep things running smoothly.

The district as of Friday afternoon had reported 23 student and two staff Covid-19 cases at its transitional kindergarten through sixth grade sites; 11 student cases and one staff case at its kindergarten through eighth grade schools; five student and three staff cases at the middle school level; 14 student and no staff cases at the high school level; and seven student and no staff cases at the district’s other sites.

K.I. Jones Elementary School has the most student cases, nine, among the 10 transitional kindergarten to sixth grade sites. Rolling Hills Elementary School has seven student cases.

The Dan O. Root II Health & Wellness Academy has the most student cases, four, among the nine kindergarten to eighth grade sites. The Dover Academy for International Studies and the Oakbrook Academy of the Arts have two student cases each.

Crystal and Grange middle schools have the most student cases, two each, among the four middle school sites. Green Valley Middle School has one student case but also has two cases among school staff.

Armijo High School has nine student cases, with Fairfield High reported three cases and Rodriguez High with two. There are no reported cases among Early College High School students.

The Public Safety Academy has the most

student cases – four – among the “other sites” classification.

Totals are for the preceeding 14 days, rather than cumulative since the return to school in August.

The school board also adopted updates to the district’s Covid-19 plan.

Every local education agency, such as a school district, during the 2020-2021 school year was required to develop a Covid-19 Safety Plan.

Plans included two parts: a Covid-19 Prevention Program, based on Cal/ OSHA regulations, and a Covid-19 School Guidance Checklist.

The updates include: n N95 masks provided to employees upon request. n No mask requirement outdoors if alone or with others. n No indoor physical distancing requirements if masks are worn. n Employees must vaccinate or test once per week.

The school district’s plan to return to in-person instruction includes updated guidance from both the California Department of Public Health and Cal/OSHA. These plans can and probably will change in the future as circumstances evolve, the district reports.

The changes, as well as regular Covid-19 information, are being shared through the district’s Parent Engagement Coordinator biweekly newsletters, which go out in English and Spanish to all staff and families through emails, are posted on the district’s website and pushed out via social media, the district reports.

The newsletter includes protocols for how the district will respond to people who are exhibiting symptoms, close contacts or those who have tested positive for Covid19, according to the staff report. The district also conducts monthly meetings with parent leaders to share updates and to receive input and feedback as to how they can improve communication with families.

FAIRFIELD — The Covid-19 surge that started shortly after the Fourth of July is waning.

“I would say the pattern over the past couple of weeks is continuing,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, said Friday in a phone interview.

It was the same message he delivered to seniors at a Health Expo earlier in the day, with the warning that he fully expects another spike in the disease with Thanksgiving and the holidays that follow.

That is also why he emphasized the need for vaccinations, and when available, booster shots for those already vaccinated.

About twothirds of Solano County residents 12 or older – 66% – are now fully vaccinated, the county reported. Seventyseven percent matyas of that population has received at least one shot.

Matyas called vaccinations the best way to fight against the disease, and even if those vaccinated who are still infected – about 20% – the outcomes typically will not be nearly as bad.

“If you have not been vaccinated, I plead with

“If you are unvaccinated, you are at extremely high risk of catching the virus. As of the most recent count, 79% of those testing positive in Solano County are not vaccinated. The unvaccinated are 17 (times) more likely to be hospitalized. As I have said and as we have heard many times, this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Your health is in serious jeopardy if you are not vaccinated,” Brown wrote.

The county reported

142 new cases Friday, 100 of those since Wednesday’s report, taking the pandemic total to 43,935.

There were no new deaths, Covid-related keeping the total at 290, and the number of residents hospitalized with the disease dropped from 74 Wednesday to 64 Friday, with 24 of those in intensive care units.

Active cases also dipped, from 699 to 646, meaning the 10-day daily brown case average fell to about 65. The two-day average was 50, Matyas said.

The seven-day positivity testing rate dropped to

7.5%, the county reported.

Vallejo added 47 cases to up its county-high count to 12,875. Fairfield added 39 to take its total to 11,815. Vacaville is at 11,573 cases after 31 new reports.

Suisun City (3,115) added 14 cases; Dixon (2,447) added five; Benicia (1,412) added four; Rio Vista (561) added two; and there were no new cases for the unincorporated area, which holds at 137, the county reported.

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

Parent argues for ease of Covid restrictions that keep her son from playing sports Vacaville schools have on-site Covid-19 testing centers to monitor any spread of the virus that causes the disease. Lang said her son was exposed to the virus so he took the test, came up negative, but was barred from playing anyway.

“He can’t participate in sports because he’s not vaccinated,” she said.

“This doesn’t make any sense to me because he is participating in an outdoor sport.”

was frustrated and upset about this, and she urged the board to “please reconsider for the sake of our children’s mental health, please end all of the mandates and rules going on.”

The board was sympathetic to her son’s situation but said the district would be fined and could lose its certification if it violated the rules set out by the California Department of Public Health.

Superintendent Jane

Shamieh said her office had looked into situations such as this and was told that the district could lose its insurance and it would also be a “liability.”

Board President Michael Kitzes noted that, unlike other districts, Vacaville allows students to remain in school after being exposed to the virus, provided they test negative.

“Others don’t even have the option of going to school; they get sent home,” Kitzes said.

My beloved Sue passed away quickly and suddenly from heart failure. She had been suffering from longterm arthritis and lymphedema, and more recently from congestive heart failure.

Sue was born in Philadelphia, and moved to San Francisco in the mid’70s to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher.

Once she established residency, she enrolled at SF State University in the fall of 1976. In her very first class, she met Gary, who would become a good friend, later a roommate, and at last her husband.

She started working in the Vallejo Unified School District in 1981.

Aside from a one-year layoff in 1982 and taking leave when Rachel was born, she worked 38 years in the District until she retired three months ago.

She taught at Springstowne Junior High, Loma Vista Elementary School (for 16 years), Beverly Hills Elementary School, and acted as an itinerate art teacher at many elementary schools. Most recently she taught in the Independent Studies Academy, working mainly with high school seniors.

Over her 38-year career, she taught every grade level and touched the lives of thousands of students.

From her first year, Sue was a member of the Vallejo Education

Association, the local teacher’s union. She held many positions in the organization including site rep, chair of the bargaining committee, many years as chair of the calendar, professional growth, and teacher support committees. She also acted as the secretary to the Rep Council and Executive Board. She was, as noted by a colleague, a fierce advocate for students’ and teacher’s rights.

Sue leaves behind her partner, husband and best friend of 40 years, Gary; cherished daughter, Rachel (Kevin); devoted brother, Paul, and sister-in-law, Paula; loving mother-in-law, Judith; and brothers-in-law, Marc and Steven (Mary); eight adoring nieces and nephews, Heather (Chris), Joey (Joey), Sari (Josh), Neshama, Neilah, Ben, James and Bea; grandniece, Samantha; and her four beloved grandboys, Aaron, Noah, Jordan and Silas; she leaves behind many cousins and scores of friends and colleagues, and most especially her three best friends for more than 40+ years, Esther, Joan and Julie; and not to be left out, her sweet fur babies, Zoe, Oliver and Emma.

When it is safe to do so, we will gather and celebrate her wonderful life.

Until then, if you are so moved, make a donation to a cause that is close to your heart in her memory.

Kimberly Ann Bawden (Wetmore) April 18, 1953 — June 26, 2021

Kimberly Ann Bawden, 68, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on June 26, 2021. She was surrounded by her immediate family.

She was born in Vallejo, California, on April 18, 1953, to loving parents, Frank Walton Wetmore and Mary Cornelia Wetmore.

Kim had a sense of flair and showcased this through her beauty, personality and fashion. She held herself to the highest standards and was always compelling and bold in her convictions.

After graduating from Vallejo High School in 1971, she went on to receive her bachelor’s degree in French Literature and History from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, where she was also a member of the Delta Gamma Sorority. Post receiving her degree, she worked for AG Spanos before attending Humphreys and McGeorge School of Law. While in Stockton, Kim met her loving husband, Jim, who was a young dentist at the time and lived in the same apartment complex. After a two-year courtship, they became engaged and married in 1978.

Before Kim would marry Jim, he needed to pass an important test – Did he love dogs as much as she did? Especially Labrador retrievers? Together, the couple adopted a black Lab puppy and named her Tasha. After this shared experience it quickly became clear to Kim that Jim and Labradors would be two of the loves of her life.

In 1982, they welcomed their only child, Alexis Bawden, the shared love of their life. Alexis was the best of both of them and she completed their family.

In 2015, Kim retired and ended her career working with her father in their family business, Wetmore Swimming Pool Company.

Kim had amazing knowledge of the business,

loved supporting the local Vallejo community and would even bring her last family dog, Zoe, to help welcome customers at the door.

Kim loved her family ferociously, they were her sanctuary, and gave her strength, unity and an abundance of love. Nothing gave her more joy than spending time with her beautiful granddaughters, McKinley and Munroe Kirkland.

Like Alexis, their boundless energy, sports activities and determination kept Kim busy and on her toes. There was never a dull moment at the Kirkland household when ‘Mimi’ came to visit.

For those who knew Kim well, she was compassionate, generous and marched to the beat of her own drum. She was happiest seeing others smile and had a way of remembering facts, gestures and idiosyncrasies about others and that made you feel special.

Kim gave so much to those she cared about and would do anything to help someone succeed.

As she lovingly and often told her family, ‘I love you more than life itself.’ Kim was an unbelievable woman. She was a wife, a sister, a mother, a grandmother and a friend.

Kim was well-loved and will never be forgotten.

Kim is survived by her husband of 43 years, James Clinton Bawden III; sister, Francine Myers; daughter, Alexis Ann Kirkland; son-in-law, David Deren Kirkland; Van granddaughters, McKinley Bawden Kirkland and Munroe Van Deusen Kirkland; and numerous extended family members.

A private memorial was held for the immediate family. A celebration of life, in Kim’s honor, is being held in Healdsburg, California, at Lambert Bridge Winery, her favorite.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests you honor Kim by becoming a bone marrow donor through Be The Match at www.bethe match.org.

he retired in 2006.

In his retirement, he loved playing golf and watching football.

Jacklyn Ferrell It is with great sadness that we announce that Jacklyn Ferrell, 84 passed in peace on Sept. 16, 2021.

Jacklyn was a third generation San Franciscan.

She grew up as a Schreck, in ‘The Sunset’, and loved to share her memories of adventures with her brother, Lewis (deceased), and sisters, Cathrin (Sabados, deceased) and Irene (South).

Jacklyn graduated from Lincoln High School.

She received her degrees and teaching credential from San Francisco State University, and began teaching in 1959.Jacklyn moved to Fairfield in 1960, and worked at Anna Kyle Elementary.

In 1963, she met the love of her life, Lieutenant Harry Ferrell on Valentine’s Day, at the Travis Air Force Base Officers Club, and they were married in August, and eventually housed on base.

In 1964, they welcomed their daughter, Wendy, and in 1965, their son, Steven.

Jacklyn enjoyed being a ‘stay-at-home mom’, occasionally substituting at schools in the Fairfield and Travis school districts.

When Harry was sent to Vietnam, Jacklyn took the kids and moved closer to her family, then living in Petaluma.

Jacklyn and her sister Kay (Catherin Sabados) enjoyed taking art classes, playing in a softball league, camping, attending daughters’ dance recitals, and sons’ sporting events.

When Major Ferrell returned from Vietnam, the family returned to Fairfield, buying their first home in the flower streets.

Managing a Bobby Sox team, attending Little League games, more dance recitals, family events and visiting with her neighbors, most especially lifelong friend Renate Allen, filled her days . . . and shopping.

In 1976, Jacklyn received her Lifetime Special Education credential from Sacramento State University, and shortly thereafter began her next career working for the FSUSD. Jacklyn worked at Dover and

Crystal Middle Schools teaching Special Day Class students. Some of her favorite memories were teaching Medieval History, and creating a castle in environment her classroom with all her students working to earn a knighthood, and teaching a creative writing class to sixth-graders where she dressed up as different historical figures or literary characters. Sharing a classroom with Terri Nelson made all of this possible.

After teaching 23 years, Jacklyn ‘retired’, and went on to consult as a school district Vision Specialist, Fairview Reading Specialist and long-term sub for her daughter.

Travels to Hawaii, Mexico, Oregon, Bermuda, Las Vegas and Branson, Missouri, with Harry and her sisters and their spouses, and the marriage of her son to Stacey Irwin, were highlights of the 1990s . . . and shopping.

Jacklyn led and volunteered with Women In Action, Friends of the Library, Solano College Theater, Red Hats, Canasta groups and Bunco groups. She also enjoyed helping care for her grandsons, Brandon and Justin.

Over the last five years, health concerns slowed Jackie down and limited her mobility and independence. She was so happy attending her grandson Brandon’s wedding to Emily (James) in May of this year. Catalog shopping, talking on the phone and visits from friends and family brought her great pleasure these last years.

Mom’s birthday songs, thoughtful cards, empathy, advice, calls to ‘check in’, and talk about ‘nothing new and startling’ will be missed by all those she loved.

The family would like to extend their appreciation to the staff of DaVita Dialysis Center in downtown Fairfield for the care and support they provided Jackie these last three years.

No service will be held.

Obituaries RC Trigg

April 13, 1936 — Aug. 28, 2021

RC Trigg, 85, passed away in his sleep at home on Saturday, Aug. 28, 2021, in Flowood, Mississippi.

RC was born on April 13, 1936, in Rankin County, Mississippi. He was the second child of Rev. Handy Trigg and Flarzell Reed Trigg.

He spent his formative years on the family’s 25 acres of land on what is now Henderson Road in Flowood. He graduated as valedictorian from Carter High School in 1954.

Soon after, he moved to Los Angeles, California, where he met Bertha Mae Mills. They married on March 13, 1960, and from their union came eight children, Eileen, Lawrence, Leonard, Alberta, Clara, Jason, Tyrone and Paulette. The best gift he gave us his children can be found in Ephesians 6:4. ‘… bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.’

In 1965, he moved his young family to Suisun City.

A few years later, he bought his first house across the tracks in Fairfield.

He was employed by Solano Garbage Company for 32 years and retired in June 1998. He moved back to the family land in Mississippi to help take care of his mom and to enjoy his retirement.

RC enjoyed a variety of social activities throughout his lifetime. Fishing was near the top of his list. He fished any chance he could and although he had a core group of fishing buddies, he would take anyone with him including his kid’s friends. RC was a great fisherman.

He has caught numerous large sturgeons! One was 6 feet long and a whopping 82 pounds! He has also caught many 30 pounds and larger striped bass. He had so many stories about catching big fish that people did not believe it so he started taking pictures of the fish so he had proof to go with

the stories! And now, we have so many pictures of him with fishes.

He also loved playing basketball. He could not pass up an empty court. At the family house on 206 DeSoto Drive, he put up a basketball hoop above the garage with the driveway as the court. It became the neighborhood court. Oh, the games and memories made there!

RC had a running lefthand hook shot that was nearly impossible to stop. He played until he was 50 years old and the ballers at Tabor Park in Fairfield titled him the ‘Original OG’. He was a mentor and father figure to many of the young men that he met on the court and throughout his life.

RC never met a conversation he didn’t like. He loved to talk. Especially in person as it was more personal and enjoyable to him. In California, he could be found hanging out and shooting the breeze with his friends at local restaurants – Sambo’s, Seasons, Sandy’s, Nation’s, Denny’s and Virgil’s Bait Shop.

One thing to remember when talking with RC, you better have your facts and thoughts together because he was going to challenge you to prove your point!

He is survived by his children; 14 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and a host of extended family and friends who all cherish him dearly.

RC was a great example of the biblical ‘Good Samaritan’. If he could help you – he DID! And he did not brag about it. RC helped so many people! There are people in heaven (now and in the future) stopping by to tell him, ‘Thank you! Thank you for giving to the Lord and being obedient.’

Matthew 25:40 is a fitting description of his life: ‘... As you did it to one of the least of these… you did it to me.’

Wanda Jo Ewing

Nov. 2, 1933 — Sept. 20, 2021

Wanda was born in Shamrock, Texas, and settled with her family in the Sonoma Valley in 1935.

After graduating from Sonoma High School, she married Robert L. Ewing, who was an airman stationed at Travis Air Base in Fairfield.

Together they raised five children. Wanda is the grandmother of 12 grandchildren; and great-grandmother of eight great-grandchildren.

Wanda lived a full life. To know her was easy, as she welcomed all into her life. This often left you susceptible to her quick and often sharp wit.

The following quote from John 14:27 was highlighted

by Wanda in the book God’s Promises: ‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.’

One streamlines the process to make improvements to a key state water delivery system.

The other allows the state to enter into mutual aid agreements with tribal communities for fire response.

County reaches tentative agreement with in-home support workers Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — In-Home Support Service workers will get a 70 cents per hour bump in pay if the Solano County supervisors on Tuesday approve a tentative agreement reached between the Solano County IHSS Public Authority and the labor union.

Workers currently receive $15.50 per hour.

The agreement was reached about a month IHSS workers after and some of their clients demonstrated Aug. 24 at a Board of Supervisors meeting.

Workers called on the board to treat them with the “respect and dignity” they deserve, and were asking for a $1 hourly increase. The county offer was 50 cents. The supervisors made no comments at the time.

The term of the agreement is for Sept. 28 through June 30, 2024, a staff report to the board states. The state Department of Social Services

The In-Home Support Service workers, represented by Service Employees International Union Local 215, have been working without a contract since the end of June 2020.

Other key items in the agreement, according to the staff report, include: n A 55 cent contribution to the supplemental health plan.

Reinvented Senior Coalition hosts Health Expo as 1st public event Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — Daeja Tillis was one of the most popular individuals at Friday’s Senior Health Expo – the first public event put on by the newly independent Senior Coalition.

“This is so awesome,” said Roxie Allen, who sits on the coalition’s board of directors. “I think we had 24 vendors sign up and we were expecting 100 to 200 seniors to show up, and I think we are going to get there.”

Once a part of Solano County, the coalition was disbanded by the Board of Supervisors and is now a California public benefit not-for-profit organization working to become a nonprofit. It formed as its own identity in July.

“The key is senior wellness,” said Janet Olson, another coalition director and director of wellness at Paradise Valley Estates, which brought a busload of residents to the event.

Tillis is a health educator and project assistant for Innovative Health Solutions, one of the two dozen vendors who set up overhead tents and information booths in the parking lot of The Salvation Army Kroc Center.

She was offering cookbooks and other information at her site, and expo visitors were sold.

“I think it’s appealing because it’s free,” Tillis said with a big smile, “and because it has all these cuisines they can try.”

There were also cookbooks for youngsters, filled with recipes the

seniors could try with their grandchildren.

“I enjoy a good home-cooked meal and it’s enjoyable to do,” Tillis said.

Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, provided an overview of the Covid situation in the county, and answered specific questions about vaccines and masking policies.

“Over the past several weeks, the disease rates have been going down substantially,” Matyas said, adding the impact on hospitals is also easing.

He noted while the county is coming out of its latest surge, he said he expects another case spike come Thanksgiving and the holidays that follow.

Matyas emphasized the need to be vaccinated – and boosted when available – as the best defense against the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19, and even if infected after being vaccinated – as about 20% of the population is – the vaccines reduce the severity of the disease.

Matyas also discussed one of his favorite topics, which is public policy that he said should be based on science and not political or public opinion alone.

At the top of his list on that subject is masking.

He noted the actual mandates in place for medical facilities, public

transit and schools, as well as the mandate for unvaccinated individuals to wear a face-covering in indoor public places, but said restrictive masking mandates are not justified by the health data.

Matyas went so far as to call “racist” those policies that force proof of vaccination in order to go into a restaurant or fitness center because the policies ignore cultural considerations about vaccinations, largely in the African American and Latinx communities.

Solano County Public Health had hoped to offer vaccine boosters at the expo, but approval by the Food and Drug Administration did not come down until Friday morning, so that plan had to be nixed.

Senior housing representatives were most abundant among the vendors at the expo.

But there were also eye and various health screenings, an assortment of activities such as line dancing, chair yoga and mindful meditation, and the opportunity to get flu shots and Covid vaccinations.

“It would be very, very hard on your body to have flu and Covid at the same time,” Matyas said, urging residents to protect against both.

Des Woods, of Fairfield, was impressed with the expo, calling it “great” and noting the variety of good information available.

Coretta Grayson, of Napa, who was there to teach line dancing, also thought there was a lot of good information available at the expo.

She was just one of many who were eager to scoop up a “Vial for Life” being handed out by Norm Weitzel, the education and training manager for Medic Ambulance.

The vial is a plastic container, similar to a medicine bottle, in which information about medication and other essential matters can be kept. A magnet is then placed on the refrigerator, and when first-responders see that, they know to look for the bottle.

Cole Pryor, of Vacaville, had his eyes checked at the expo.

“The good news is they work,” Pryor said, joking that other parts, not so much. He is 87.

He also intended to get a flu shot, but like others, was disappointed the Covid booster vaccines were not being offered.

“But I think we need more of these kinds of events for seniors,” he said. “It was great to have all this information in one place.”

Pryor also wanted to win one of the many prizes that were being offered.

“Free goods is always fun,” he said.

Among the 366 individuals interviewed, five symptoms each were reported on average. Disturbed sense of smell, muscle pains, joint pains, fatigue and headaches were noteworthy.

The authors note that the odds ratio for experiencing symptoms was higher among females, and those with preexisting conditions, as well as in people older than 40, compared to younger subjects.

Symptom prevalence appeared higher in some racial/ethnic minority groups.

The conclusions reached are that these symptoms, referred to as “post-acute sequelae” of Covid19, may serve as an impetus to “. . . help guide the allocation of public health resources and improve health equity while groups recover from the longterm sequelae. . . .”

The authors suggest that “ensuring equitable access to care” is necessary to prevent

these problems.

In discussing methodological weaknesses, the authors mention limited sample size, and failure to consider some confounding variables such as socioeconomic status.

The study also described symptoms only two months after testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, which is a short time window. Moreover, we gain no insight into whether the subjects manifest fever, muscle wasting, anemia, thyroid gland dysfunction or other problems.

The study only analyzes subjective complaints.

I can report that compensation claims for Covid-related medical concerns are becoming common in my practice as a qualified medical evaluator for workers’ compensation claims.

Most of these individuals report outpatient infections, with brief work absences. I do not recall seeing anyone who ended up in an Intensive Care Unit, so far.

My approach, as an evaluating physician, is to look for objective findings to support the existence of debility, such as muscle wasting or lung congestion.

Symptoms must be respected and documented.

I also search diligently for laboratory or diagnostic imaging abnormalities.

The term “sequela” is defined in Dorland’s medical dictionary as “any lesion or affection following or caused by an attack of disease.” Examples include the post poliomyelitis sequelae, characterized by fatigue, weakness and muscle pain.

In the case of post-poliomyelitis syndrome, objective muscle wasting may emerge, sometimes decades after the initial infection.

Do similar “sequelae” of

Covid-19 emerge over time, even among those who suffer relatively mild initial symptoms? If so, what mechanism of illness is involved?

Is there chronic inflammation, or some delayed autoimmune response that damages healthy tissue?

Studies that detail subjective complaints are valuable, but at some point, a more detailed explanation for “long Covid” will need to be elucidated.

The history of medicine is rife with similar syndromes that challenged clinicians and researchers.

For example, weakness, “brain fog” and muscle pains have been attributed to “chronic” Lyme disease, Epstein Barr virus exposure and hepatitis C infection.

Veterans returning from Operation Desert Storm reported Gulf War Syndrome symptoms, attributed by some to exposure to non-infectious toxins.

The symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, chemical sensitivity syndrome and “closed building syndrome” largely mimic those of “longCovid sequelae.” Diminished sense of smell, difficulty to quantify, appears to be more specific to Covid-19.

Where does “long Covid” exist, in the spectrum of perplexing medical conditions? Can we explain this entity without consideration of broader socioeconomic and medicolegal factors? We need interdisciplinary Covid-19 research.

Today’s birthday To march to your own drum is harder than you thought it would be, as there’s a great deal of coordination that must take place with a person who is simultaneously laying down the groove and then marching to it. But it’s what you’ll do, and you’ll do it so well that a whole band forms around you in this year of exuberant music! Leo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 12, 39, 3 and 22.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As strong and grounded as you are, you can always use emotionally sturdy companionship. A trusted anchor allows you to express your passion without fear of taking it too far.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t expect to fail, but you’re still prepared for it. Preparedness is the way of the winner! It puts you in a position to help yourself and others, which gives you confidence no matter what happens.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You never stop learning. For a curious problem solver like yourself, there is more school outside of school than there ever was inside. Today features a pop quiz you’re likely to ace.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The day is packed with encouragement, some of which feels like urgency rushing you along. Ultimately, it’s just the push you need to fulfill a dearly held value of yours.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being very creative gives you an edge over many other talents, including physical strength and intellectual cleverness.

You’ll come up with something new to surprise, disarm or humor people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Take the time to set yourself up for success.

Think ahead to the things that will require physical work, emotional labor or the use of willpower. What can you do ahead of time to make them much easier?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Handling emotions well gives you power. The first step in managing emotions is to correctly identify them. It’s hard to identify smushed-down emotions. Do you have a safe place to meet with them?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Singing together, dancing, working and playing as a group – these things build up your joy. Synchronize with the group and be buoyed by a sense of belonging.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Like food, information can be nutritious or junky. You are drawn to what is emotionally and intellectually nourishing, which makes you picky about the media you consume.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To recognize the terrible ideas of others is a gift that helps you steer clear of bad company and dead-end roads. To recognize your own terrible ideas is the talent of champions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s easier for you to give others your heart when you have a deep and abiding love for yourself. Need a little inspiration?

You’ll find it modeled in the world today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No need to spin the story; it isn’t necessary for you to come off like a winner. It’s better that you’re known as a real person who, just like everyone, experiments to get it right. Those who never fail aren’t trying hard enough.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: In his short life, the great composer George Gershwin defined the American sound of his era. Gershwin blurred the musical edges of popular Broadway musical ditties, jazz standards and luminous classical compositions. “Rhapsody in Blue” remains one of the most popular of all-American concert works. Gershwin’s natal sun and Jupiter were in artistic, aesthetic Libra, with his Moon in musical Aquarius.

Overdose and suicides are preventable, and people do recover, but this requires a community approach – a village.

eptember has been quite a busy month – for many of us, it’s back to school or back to the workplace, while still juggling Covid precautions and feelings of collective stress.

For our recovery community, people who have experienced mental health or substance use challenges, it’s a month to raise awareness to issues related to suicide and overdose prevention as well as supporting addiction and mental health recovery and services.

We celebrated International Overdose Awareness Day the final day of August to raise awareness about drug overdoses. Drug overdose deaths last year in the U.S. increased by more than 30%, killing more than 94,000 people – the highest ever on record. More than 74% of those deaths involved an opioid.

Then we started September honoring Suicide Prevention Month. The most current data indicate that the rate of suicide deaths in Solano County is greater than that of the state and the nation. Pain isn’t always obvious, yet most people who are considering suicide show some warning signs or signals of their intentions.

Finally, we celebrate Recovery

Month – every September we take the time to educate, support and advocate for recovery from substance use issues, as well as mental health and other complex trauma.

Research shows that for many, the primary motivation behind a person’s substance use (regardless of whether the drug is illegal or prescribed) is escape from emotional pain. Often, these challenges link back to trauma and according to international speaker and bestselling author Dr. Gabor Maté, “The question is not why the addiction, but why the pain.”

One of our outpatient therapists, Patty, shares: “I remember asking one of my young clients in custody about his efforts for recovery in the community and he said, ‘I would rather die than to have to feel what I feel when getting off the pills. It takes over my whole body and mind.’ ” Both overdose and suicides are preventable, and people do recover, but this requires a community approach – a village. It’s not just up to the treatment providers, doctors or law enforcement.

We all need to learn how to help. We need to learn about medication assisted treatment, about NARCAN Nasal Spray (naloxone) to reverse opioid overdose, the warning signs of suicide, ways to ask questions about mental health

or substance use issues early to help a loved one.

There are still times when these things happen, and families and friends find themselves saying they wish they could have done more. Oftentimes we don’t know where to go to get help or talk to someone. Our therapist Patty can relate: “I appreciate that people have the courage to call, while working through humbling feelings, in order to ask for help – but I was always left with the desire that I wished I could have done more.”

We send our deepest condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one to overdose or suicide.

The more we talk about it and share our stories, the more we can help one another. More resources are needed to help family members learn how to navigate services, get education and seek support. Let us take a moment to reflect and consider ways we can be that village for someone.

The Dixie Fire, shown on Aug. 18, in Milford, is 94% contained. The Fawn Fire has now burned more than 7,000 acres.

Fawn Fire swells to more than 7,000 acres, but officials ‘optimistic’ Tribune Content Agency ANDERSON — Firefighters faced off against the fast-moving Fawn Fire as it edged closer to Shasta Lake on Saturday, hoping to take advantage of lighter winds and cooler temperatures expected to last through the weekend.

The fire broke out Wednesday afternoon in a rocky quarry area near Bear Mountain Road and has charred 7,544 acres in just three days, leveling at least 100 structures and threatening 9,000 more.

Nearly 2,000 residents have been evacuated.

Still, Cal Fire officials reported progress: As wind gusts died down Friday, more than 1,600 crews built new containment lines and defended hundreds of buildings. The blaze was 10% contained as of Saturday morning.

“I’m pretty optimistic – it’s looking good,” Cal Fire spokesman Scott Ross said. “This fire is doing great compared to standing and watching it

“I think it needs more work,” he said.

While the session is a procedural step, it then turned to attempts by lawmakers to add nonbinding amendments to the bill – providing a showcase for concerted Republican opposition and potential insight into some Democrats’ views on the draft.

The effort to keep the bill moving comes as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are trying to project momentum for the Biden agenda amid deep Democratic rifts and falling poll numbers for the president. It remains to be seen if the package will be brought to a floor vote in the House anytime soon, given that four dissenting Democratic members could sink it in face of united GOP opposition.

two days ago.”

The wildfire runs roughly parallel to Interstate 5 to the west and Bear Mountain Road to the east as it burns toward the lake, threatening communities along both those corridors.

Most of the homes and buildings lost so far have been on the southeastern side, Ross said.

Crews planned to focus Saturday on building containment lines to protect Jones Valley, a rural area where a few hundred residents live on ranches and small plots of land. A reversal in wind direction was meanwhile expected to push the fire away from threatened communities along Interstate 5, said Cal Fire behavior analyst Jonathan Pangburn.

Temperatures were expected to drop into the 70s through the weekend.

A storm system could bring some light rain to the North Bay and help clear smoke from Bay Area skies.

“Generally speaking, we should see some favorable conditions over the

next couple of days,” Pangburn said.

But crews could struggle to control the fire as it moves into steeper terrain near Shasta Lake.

Normally the lake would serve as an easy firebreak, but the water level is so low that fire officials are preparing for flames to sweep through the area.

Come late Monday or Tuesday, fresh winds could blow into the region again and undo the’ weekend progress crews are hoping to make, fire officials said.

“We’re looking at buttoning this up as much as possible before that. We don’t want that impacting what we’re doing,” Ross said.

The blaze was first reported in a steep, hard-to-reach canyon at about 4:45 p.m. Wednesday near Fawndale and Radcliff roads, according to Cal Fire. Palo Alto resident Alexandra Souverneva, 30, has been arrested on suspicion of setting the fire.

The first 24 hours of

the blaze “proved very difficult for us” thanks to its remote location, said Cal Fire Incident Commander Scott Corn.

“Then a wind event came through and pushed the fire into its current perimeter,” he said. “I want to assure you the fire was attacked aggressively and many of those initial attack resources were on that fire scene for 36 hours-plus.”

Statewide, about 9,800 firefighters were attacking 11 wildfires, according to Cal Fire, although crews continued to gain containment on two worrisome blazes: to the south in El Dorado County, the Caldor Fire was about 221,595 acres and 76% contained, while the Dixie Fire, which has been burning for more than two months in five counties, was 963,276 acres and 94% contained.

“Our first priority,” Corn said, “is to get you back into your homes as quickly and safely as possible.”

ture bill that’s supposed to come to the House floor on Monday.

“The next few days will be a time of intensity,” Pelosi said in a letter to her Democratic caucus on Saturday.

The economic package would raise $2.1 trillion in revenue through measures including tax increases on corporations, the wealthy and tobacco users. That would help pay for a bevy of social programs including universal paid family leave and pre-school and free community college, along with new Medicare dental, vision and hearing benefits.

Democrats remain especially divided on the Medicare piece and whether to focus funds on expanding Medicaid, as well as on a proposal to regulate drug prices.

Missing from the draft is any change to the cap on federal deductions of state and local taxes, which some lawmakers say must be in the bill in order for it to pass the House.

The Budget Committee’s role involves combining legislation from 13 other committees into one bill. No substantive changes can be made.

That will come later in the process either in the Rules Committee next

week or from Democratic leaders on the floor.

“All we will be doing is essentially transmitting – voting to transmit – those 13 bills as one to the Rules Committee. And the Republicans – or Democrats if they want – could offer motions to instruct certain votes, but they’re non-binding,” Chair John Yarmuth of Kentucky told reporters.

Each GOP member of the Budget Committee plans to offer at least one motion, touching on broad complaints about the Democrats’ approach, Rep. Jason Smith of Missouri, the panel’s top Republican, said in an interview.

“It’ll be a long markup,” he said.

Smith said Republicans will attempt to push Democrats to address the debt limit through reconciliation – the same legislative fast-track process being used for the tax and social spending bill. The nation is at risk of a default as soon as mid-October, but Democrats are still pursing a likely doomed strategy of trying to get Senate Republicans to support a suspension of the statutory ceiling through Dec. 16, 2022, using the normal legislative process.

Republicans and some

Democrats also aren’t happy that the committee work is being done without an estimate of how much it will cost. The Congressional Budget Office had only scored four portions of the package as of Friday.

“Clearly, the reason this is being done is because Pelosi is pushing it – because she’s trying to pick up five to 10 progressive Democrats for the bipartisan infrastructure bill on Monday,” Smith said.

He was referring to a scheduled vote on the separate $550 billion package of new public works spending. That has passed the Senate but is at risk in the House given progressive demands for the Senate to advance the bigger social-spending bill first.

Democrats are trying to forge a deal on the final size of the tax-and-spending bill behind the scenes.

Centrist Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia has said he doesn’t support the $3.5 trillion price tag. Once a top-line spending figure is determined, the party likely will have to agree to pare back some items, from social programs to tax credits, to conform to that number.

RHS stays undefeated with victory over Northgate Nick DeCicco

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY REPUBLIC

FAIRFIELD — With the visiting team yards away from a game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter Friday night at Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium, host Rodriguez High had an additional challenge – not being able to see how much time was left in the game.

The Mustangs (5-0) stalled two consecutive fourth-quarter drives Friday night by Walnut Creek’s Northgate (2-2) for a 29-21 win to remain undefeated in a game where a malfunction

kept the field’s scoreboard dark throughout the contest. The teams relied on officials to relay the play clock in between downs.

The inability to see the remaining time inspired a sense of urgency that Rodriguez head coach Myles King said motivated his players.

“These boys, they’ll never give up,” King said. “No matter what the situation, you’ve got to play hard, you’ve got to grind and you’ve got to continue to fight. That’s what it is.”

While the defense made crucial stops in the final quarter, Rodriguez needed every aspect

of its team to secure the victory.

First, it was the offense. Trailing 21-15 near the end of the third quarter, Miles Meadows hit a wide open Jamoryon Johnson for a 27-yard touchdown to give the Mustangs a 22-21 lead they would never relinquish. The passing TD was one of two on the night between Meadows and Johnson.

Then it was the special teams. After a four-and-out by the Broncos, a long punt return

by Leroy Bryant put the home team a yard shy of the red zone.

Three plays later, Jeremiah Hill grabbed a pass from Meadows, danced around a Northgate

defender and stepped over the goal line for the final 29-21 tally.

Hill led all receivers with four catches for 96 yards.

With 10 minutes and 30 seconds left to go in the game, it was Rodriguez’s defense’s chance to shine.

A long Northgate drive chewed more than 70 yards and nearly five minutes off of the clock. Despite the Broncos getting as close as the Mustangs’ 2 yard line, it was Gabriel Batres who sacked John Pelletier on 4th-and-goal from the 7 to end Northgate’s drive.

The Broncos would get the

ball back one last time, but went four-and-out after Rodriguez’s defense held them off again.

Malik Dawson added 10 points for the Mustangs with a 5-yard touchdown tote, three extra points and a rushing score for a two-point conversion.

MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The challenges of having a full roster are just as great as the opponents on the field right now for the Fairfield High football team.

Head coach Merwin Matsukado said his team has been decimated by injuries and illnesses this week, leaving only 11 active players able to practice. Visiting Dixon High already brought Fairfield challenges of their own and the Rams were able to roll to a 37-0 win Friday night over the Falcons at Schaefer Stadium.

“We’re trying out best,” Matsukado said. “The kids that did play played their hearts out. We came out here knowing it was going to be tough.”

The Falcons dropped to 0-4 but did show some positive signs early.

Fairfield trailed only 7-0 after the first quarter. Dixon looked like it was going to put the game away early when Mark Bernard had a

The Rams added 10 more second-half points before the game went to a running clock because of the score differential.

The Falcons will see how many players they can get back before opening Monticello Empire League play against Vacaville on Friday.

“We’re just trying to get guys eligible, so we had a lot of them in the study hall,” Matsukado said.

“We knew Dixon was going to be tough. We weren’t trying to undermine them. We all want to win.

We just have to get guys academically prepared.”

Fairfield had some strong defensive efforts. Isaiah Pacheco had two interceptions in the first half and recovered a fumble.

Anthony Baldwin blocked a Dixon extra point attempt. Andrew Neal recorded a stop behind the line of scrimmage.

Falcons split pair of matches in final Classic ROCKVILLE — The Solano Community College volleyball team concluded the nonconference portion of its schedule by sweeping West Hills-Lemoore and being swept by Feather River in the third Solano Classic of the season, Friday.

The Falcons (7-11) opened with a 25-17, 25-17, 25-14 win over West Hills-Lemoore.

Sammy Brown led the offense with 10 kills and added eight digs and two aces; Dani Rydjord chipped in eight kills and led with three aces;

Chris Rigney Cruz added six kills and one block; Kailyn Kaiser led the defense with 12 digs; Gina Garlick was a machine at the net with four blocks; and Jeryn Baldonado put up 28 assists and served 6-of-6.

The Falcons then fell 25-19, 25-21, 25-22 to Feather River, which is ranked second in the state by the CCCAA. “We stayed steady and even with them the entire match,” Solano coach Darla Williams said. “. . . If we can take this level of play into conference with us, we will be looking very solid.”

Rydjord led at the net with 10 kills and zero errors, adding eight digs; Brown contributed nine kills and six digs; Garlick was solid once again at the net to lead with two blocks; Ridney Cruz chipped in five kills; Mylie Moli led from the service line with two aces and added four kills of her own; Baldonado distributed 22 assists; and Kaiser led See Local, Page A12

FAIRFIELD — The Armjio High football team had all the ingredients for a game-winning cake Friday night – except for the icing.

Keshaun Williams returned the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown and Dameion Regalado made a Sports Center-worthy TD catch with 1:52 left in the game to bring the Royals to within one.

Armijo couldn’t convert on the 2-point conversion as quarterback Eddie Concepcion was stopped short of the goal line and Natomas of Sacramento was able to run out the clock for a 25-24 victory at Brownlee Field.

The Royals (1-4) failed on a pass attempt on their 2-point try after Williams’ kickoff return.

It took the Nighthawks (3-2) more than a quarter to draw even as they went 78 yards on 10 plays with Mekhei Byrd going the final 16 on a fourthand-11 play with 9:41 left in the half.

The visitors got the ball right back when David Beserra intercepted a pass and returned it 47 yards to

the Armijo 2 yard line.

Two plays later, quarterback William Vue scored on a keeper and Gustavo Rosales’ extra point, which wound up deciding the game, made it 13-7.

As they would do three times, the Royals got to within a point when Concepcion took off on a keeper and dashed 49 yards for a touchdown, capping a three-play, 81-yard drive. A run by Williams was stopped short on the conversion attempt, keeping it 13-12.

With less than 2 minutes to go in the half, Vue scored his second touchdown, scrambling 21-yards down the right sideline to make it 19-12 with Jericho Johnson blocking the conversion attempt.

Armijo’s first secondhalf possession looked anything but promising when a Vue punt went out of bounds inside the Royals’ 1. Four plays later, Concepcion hooked up with Regalado on an 89-yard touchdown, which tied for the second-longest completion in school history, equalling an 89-yarder from Matt Hendrix to Carl Hayles against Vintage in 2006.

U.S. Ryder Cup team takes commanding lead into singles matches Tribune Content Agency HAVEN, Wis. — After three lopsided matchplay sessions dominated by the Americans, the 43rd Ryder Cup turned tense, contentious and finally compelling late on a crisp fall day at windblown and sun-splashed Whistling Straits.

And yet the U.S. team owns a historic 11-5 lead and is just 3½ points away on Sunday from reclaiming the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2016 at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minn.

The Americans built on Friday’s 6-2 lead with a third consecutive 3-1 session, this one Saturday morning’s alternate-shot matches they dominated except for world No. 1 ranked Jon Rahm.

In the afternoon, the two sides split the four foursomes matches 2-2 on a day when players from both sides vanished from sight down

steep man-made dunes – created by the late, great course architect Pete Dye – that tumble down to Lake Michigan.

It was also a day when players from both sides quibbled over short putts not conceded by their opponents, gesturing their opinion on multiple occasions.

Saturday afternoon’s 2-2 split sends the Americans to Sunday’s closing 12 singles matches with that 11-5 lead.

That 11-5 is the biggest lead the U.S. team has held over a European team after the first two days.

It also equals Europe’s 11-5 lead entering Sunday’s singles in 2004 at Oakland Hills in Michigan.

Europe won by a record 18½-9½ the next day.

The United States led 10-4 late Saturday afternoon in 2012 before Europe’s Sunday blitz sent the Cup back home with them.

Fairfield: JV team earns 20-13 triumph From Page A10 Fairfield’s best opportunity for points came with 3:08 in the first quarter. The Falcons started a drive at the 50 yard line and took it down to the Dixon 19.

A field goal attempt fell just short.

The Falcons mustered 78 rushing yards with the bulk coming from the hard running of Jeremiah Cardwell, who had 19 carries for 48 yards.

Quarterback Corey

Oram hooked up with Cardwell on two catches for 12 yards of offense in the air.

Jordan Tucker set up the Falcons with good field position a couple of times with strong kickoff returns. Fairfield did hurt themselves with turnovers, however, fumbling twice on drives in the third quarter.

Dixon edged out Fairfield with 80 yards of rushing but got the ball moving with the passing game. Quar-

terback Jett Harris completed 7-of-15 passes for 112 yards.

Dixon’s Baumbach had touchdown runs of 2 and 11 yards. Harris had a 5-yard touchdown pass to Elijah Hairston and a 17-yarder to Bernard, who added a 65-yard interception return for a touchdown after the half. Luis Torres kicked a 37-yard field goal to go with four extra points.

Dixon improved to 2-2 overall.

Fairfield picked up

a 20-13 win in the junior varsity game.

Willie Nickson threw three touchdown passes as the Falcons improved to 3-2 overall.

Nickson completed two touchdown passes to Rae’Sean Austin and another to Jamal Williams.

Josh Tucker and Jeffrey Carr intercepted passes for the JV Falcons in the final three minutes of the game to help seal the victory.

An Armaan Nagra interception set up another touchdown in the third quarter and Jacob Emerson and Camren Intermesoli picked off passes in the fourth quarter.

Wildcats coach Jacob Wright said he was pleased with the win, “especially since we overcame some penalties early, and also, too, heading into league (play) having a little bit of a challenge and having to secure the win in the fourth quarter.”

VACAVILLE CHRISTIAN HANGS WITH LINDEN INTO FOURTH QUARTER LINDEN — The Vacaville Christian football team tied the score in the third and fourth quarters but then ran out of answers in opening Sierra Delta League play with a 46-30 loss to Linden, Friday.

The game was originally scheduled to be the season finale on Oct. 29, but when the Falcons’ and Lions’ opponents – Golden Sierra and Rio Vista, respectively – had to bow out because of a lack of healthy players, they moved the game up to Friday.

Linden (3-2) jumped to a 16-0 lead before Vacaville Christian (4-1) responded with a 21-yard touchdown sweep by Levi West.

After another Lions score, West caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from Hunter Jackson to make it 24-16 at the half.

William Verdun caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Jackson to tied the score at 24-24 in the third quarter and David Martinez returned an interception 35 yards to tie it at 30-30 in

the fourth.

The Lions answered with two touchdowns of their own, including a 70-yard bomb from Alex Herrera to Jordan Sherman, who caught six passes for 203 yards and two TDs. Jackson was the leading passer for the Falcons, completing 8 of 16 for 106 yards, with West catching four passes for 74 yards. Dominique Ruff led VCS rushers with 51 yards on nine carries.

“I’m super proud of the boys,” Falcons coach Manny Tarango said.

“They didn’t quit. . . . I’m super proud of the way they responded.”

The Falcons are scheduled to play at Rio Vista on Friday.

the 2-point conversion attempt failed as a pass fell incomplete.

The Nighthawks again responded, going 78 yards in seven plays with Vue connecting with KJ Julian on a 17-yard touchdown pass in the left corner of the end zone. A run was stopped short on the 2-point try, keeping the score 25-18.

After two empty possessions, the Royals appeared ready for an epic victory when, on fourth-and-13 from the Natomas 40, Concepcion threw deep to Regalado, who caught the pass behind the head of defender Angel Gutierrez, who was in his face. Gutierrez wound up with the ball when they untangled on the ground, but it was ruled a simultaneous possession when Regalado crossed the goal line and he was awarded a touchdown with 1:52 left in the game.

The Nighthawks called time on the 2-point try as the ball was snapped to Concepcion, who took off on a keeper up the middle.

The Royals wound up running the same play and Concepcion was stuffed at the 2-yard line, allowing Natomas to escape with a onepoint victory.

“The 2-point conversion was there,” Armijo coach Don Mosley said.

“We had the kickout from the back, we had the pull, all they do is just run up the field and there was a crease right underneath there. The first tackler missed him . . . it was there – no ifs ands or buts about it.”

Concepcion deserved a better fate statistically, having completed 7-of-19 passes – with at least a half dozen passed dropped by his receiv-

ers – for 212 yards. He also rushed for a gamehigh 73 yards. Coming off his school-record 205-yard receiving game against Woodland on Sept. 10, Regalado became just the second Armio receiver with back-to-back 100-yard receiving games (David Chavez, 2018), with three catches for 139 yards, his 344 receiving yards the most ever in two straight games by a Royals receiver.

The Indians also played well defensively, holding Natomas to 141 yards rushing and 214 total.

Mosley said what pleased him most about his team’s effort was “the fight. I’ve been saying it since week 1, we win it in the trenches, we’ve got to start hitting them with the backs. We win it in the trenches on defense, we’ve got to start hitting them with the backers, we’re getting good pressure off the edge, good pressure up the middle. As you can see we’ve got home run threats at running back, we’ve got home run threats at receiver, it’s been there. You know, we’ve got to just continue putting it together like we’ve always been doing and the proof is in the pudding. Turn the film on. Scoreboard’s not going to show what the film’s going to show you.”

In the JV game, Armijo (1-2-1) got touchdowns on a pass to TaMarcus Williams and what was announced as a 75-yard interception return by Dominick Huffaker, as well as a 2-point conversion by Ryan Lee, but Natomas scored a touchdown with 4 seconds left to forge a 14-14 tie.

Waterfront Weekend returns with chili cookoff, whaleboat regatta, more Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — The Vallejo Waterfront Weekend returns from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday.

The event is a festival celebrating the city of Vallejo, Historic Mare Island and Solano County.

In addition to providing a free, fun-filled event for the entire community, Vallejo Waterfront Weekend provides much more. The mission of the event committee is to unite the community while also providing various nonprofits a venue to showcase their organizations and raise muchneeded funds.

Net proceeds from this weekend are shared between the nonprofits that participate in putting on the festival and the Vallejo Waterfront Committee.

More than $100,000 has been donated to local nonprofits in the past six years.

A hot rod and classic car show is planned. It’s hosted by the Boyz Under The Hood Car Club and is open to all types of cars.

The car show will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cars will begin parking at 8 a.m. along the Vallejo Waterfront Marina Green.

This show will benefit the Midsi Sanchez Foundation and Operation Care and Comfort.

The Chili Cookoff will be at the Vallejo Yacht Club, 484 Mare Island Way. There is a $25 entrance fee.

Judging will be based on taste, aroma, quality and presentation.

Teams will also be rated on spirit, gimmick (highly encouraged), and overall fun factors. Attendees can sample all the chili for $10.

There will be live entertainment by Alvon, West Coast Caravan of Blues All Stars, Los Cochinos, Soul’d Out and more. The event also includes a whaleboat regatta and Filipino martial arts tournament.

SUISUN CITY — Kyle Turner was studying to become a Presbyterian minister. Then his life took a new direction at a church in Oklahoma when the church elders watched him perform.

“When elders see a young man, fairly charming who has musical ability, (they) start salivating a little bit,” Turner said.

Turner took his charm and talents to bars and pubs. He also sought a new direction after taking some classes in classical Hebrew.

“I decided the preacherhood was not for me,” he said.

Once Turner put his focus on music, he knew it would be his career.

“I remember watching Ed Sullivan,” he said, adding that he often cried when he heard emotional songs. “I tried to hide it from my dad.”

Then he discovered the work of Carl W. Stalling, the composer behind the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Courtesy photo shorts produced by Warner Kyle Turner will perform Saturday during the Bros., where he averaged one Waterfront Festival featuring Art, Wine & Live complete score each week, Music at the Suisun Waterfront. for 22 years.

“I was so overwhelmed by the musicality of it,” Turner said. “I’m still watching that stuff.”

Turner also spent time in Kyoti, a heavy metal swing band based in New York City. The emphasis was on guitars rather than horns.

“It was hugely expensive and difficult to do,” Turner said of the show.

But it was drawing good crowds as well as members of David Letterman’s band.

Then, Sept. 11, 2001, arrived. Kyoti was to release its CD on Sept. 12, 2001.

Turner was working a day job as a typist for AIG and gigging at night.

“I was just getting out of the Church Street Station when I saw the first plane hit,” he said. “Everyone started running.”

Turner moved to Vallejo about three years ago. He was performing in Las Vegas when he met a young woman who lives in Vallejo.

“I’m the one thing that happened in Vegas that didn’t stay in Vegas,” he joked.

Turner will perform Saturday at the Waterfront Festival featuring Art, Wine and Live Music at the Suisun City waterfront.

Outside gigs can be tricky, he said.

“I adapt as it comes,” Turner said.

VALLEJO — 3day Weekend returns Saturday to Vino Godfather Winery.

The 10-piece band, which plays Motown, R&B, classic rock and funk, has been together for about five years.

All members have many years of playing with various groups over the decades.

“I found the group at Craiglist,” said one of three lead singers, Ali Wegener.

“I was in between groups at the time.”

The niche was perfect: Wegener said he had always wanted to be part of a Motown, funk and party band.

Coming up with a moniker was pretty simple.

“Who doesn’t like a threeday weekend?” Wegener proposed to her bandmates.

After all, Memorial Day was just around the corner.

The more the merrier,

3day Weekend will play from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday at Vino Godfather Winery in Vallejo.

Wegener said of the large band.

Spouses and friends work as roadies. Another does sound.

“The logistics are pretty self-contained,” she said.

“We have our own equipment. We have it down to a science.”

There were no

virtual shows when Covid-19 erupted. Rehearsals were moved to backyards and each show has been outside since.

3day Weekend usually performs for two to three hours.

“The goal is to get the crowd up and dancing,” Wegener said.

Wegener also performs in a duo with a fellow 3day Weekend bandmate and in a separate group, the Bona Fides.

“It’s all a hobby for me,” she said.

Her day job is in marketing. Some of her bandmates are full-time musicians.

The band played in July at Vino Godfather.

“We really had a ball,” Wegener said. “They drew their own clientele and See Tunes, Page B3

NightMare Island returns with scares for the whole family Susan Hiland

shiland@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — NightMare Island will return this year with a new venue but the same fun time for the month of October.

The youth-friendly, none-to-scary haunted house will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. There will be no scary actors, animatronics or roaming actors. But after 6 p.m., it’s a grownup party with scares suited for adults.

This event runs every Friday through Sunday in October.

The new location is at the corner of Ninth Street and Nimitz Avenue on

Tunes From Page B1 we brought about 100 people.”

It was the band’s first gig at the Mare Island venue.

When it comes to a signature song for 3day Weekend, it depends on which of the three singers takes the lead.

They rotate turns.

“We make sure there is equal coverage for all singers,” Wegener said.

A band favorite is “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire,” Wegener said, adding, “I like to do Janis Joplin’s ‘Piece of My Heart.’ “ Wegener works on the setlist with the goal of ensuring back-toback dance tunes and a variety of songs.

“Song selection is one of the hardest things,” she said.

Narrowing down a lot of good music to two to three hours makes it tough, she said.

The band tired of playing Al Green’s “Take Me to the River.” It surfaced at a recent gig

Festival From Page B1 ated by the trees and that has a huge effect on how it sounds.”

He will play for about two hours, some cover tunes and a lot of original tunes.

Turner has been penning songs for 35 years, honing, improving and rewriting some.

Turner played many gigs in Napa prior to Covid-19.

“They’ve closed the borders a little,” he said, adding that Napa venues are opting to hire performers based in Napa.

Wegener began playing guitar when she was about 8. She also watched her old brother and the bands he was in.

“I would sit and hear the harmonies,” she said.

“I want to sing, I want to do that.”

She did not sing until she was in college.

“I got hooked,” she said.

Wegener has only taken a few breaks over the years to raise her children, who now play guitar and sing. She often joins them on her acoustic guitar.

She loves the vocal stylings of Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Chaka Kahn and Amy Winehouse.

Wegener reminds those who plan to attend to bring their dancing shoes and enjoy the fresh air at a venue where, under the palm trees, 3day Weekend can play everything from Aretha Franklin to the B52s.

“We get so much joy from playing,” she said.

“We love it when the crowd is having fun and singing along.”

NAPA — Lucky Penny productions has made another adjustment to its 2021-22 season of plays and musicals, postponing “North Bay New Plays” and placing “Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End” in the Oct. 15-31 slot.

“Our concept for ‘North Bay New Plays’ was to produce new plays by writers from Napa, Sonoma, Marin and Solano counties, and we received a lot of great scripts,” said Artistic Director Taylor Bartolucci, in a press release. “But due to a variety of other issues, we felt we could not do this project justice and meet our quality standards.

That led us to decide to postpone ‘North Bay New Plays’ and we will produce a one-act, one-woman show that presents the life and work of iconic writer Erma Bombeck, played by Jill Wagoner.”

Bombeck was an American humorist who achieved popularity for her syndicated newspaper humor column describing

16th Annual Waterfront Festival

Sponsored by

suburban home life from 1965 to 1996. She also published 15 books, most of which became bestsellers.

Between 1965 and April 17, 1996 – five days before her death – Bombeck wrote more than 4,000 newspaper columns, using broad and sometimes eloquent humor, chronicling the ordinary life of a Midwestern suburban housewife. By the 1970s, her columns were read semi-weekly by 30 million readers of the 900 newspapers in the U.S. and Canada.

Those who already had tickets for “North Bay New Plays” will be seated on the same dates for “Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End.”

For those who wish to purchase tickets, they are on sale online at www. luckypennynapa.com.

Visitors to the site are encouraged to view the Covid-19 protocols, which at this time require all attendees to provide proof of vaccination or a recent negative test. All patrons and volunteer staff are required to wear face coverings at all times when inside the Community Arts Center, and other protocols are in place.

The Valley Players will present a show at the Lucky Penny Community Arts Center. “Ladies Briefs,” an anthology of 10 new short plays by female writers, will be live on stage Oct. 28-29 and

He did a few virtual shows during the pandemic.

“There were a few challenges for me technically,” he said. “I learned I had to get a good camera. As the pandemic progressed, I knew I needed to make better sound.”

He has about 10 live recordings on YouTube.

Turner said he’s still concerned about Covid-19.

“The variants are cause for concern,” he said. “It’s like we are trying to outrace the mutations and we can’t beat it.”

Travis shoppers can win $5k for holidays Travis Air Force Base TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Military Star is looking to give 10 military shoppers on the “nice” list an extra holiday surprise – the gift of cash.

Friday through Oct. 21, Travis Air Force Base shoppers who use their Military Star card twice at the exchange and twice at the commissary will automatically be entered in the Home for the Holidays sweepstakes.

Five grand-prize winners – one each from the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard – will receive $5,000. Five second-place winners, also one from each branch of service, will receive $2,000.

“The holidays bring a lot of joy, but often a lot of additional expenses, as well,” Travis Air Force Base Exchange General Manager Phonda Bishop said in a press release.

Military Star has hosted the Home for the Holidays sweepstakes for three years and has awarded $75,000 to deserving military winners, according to the press release.

McConnell Air Force Base civic leaders receive a maintenance brief on the C-5 Galaxy during a Civic Leader Tour at Travis AFB, Sept. 14.

McConnell civic leaders traveled to Travis to expand their knowledge on the global mobility mission that Air Mobility Command provides.

Civic leaders take tour of Travis Senior Airman Marc A. Garcia 22nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs

M C C ONN E LL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. ­ — Civic leaders from communities surrounding McConnell Air Force Base traveled to Travis Air Force Base, Cali., where Col. Corey Simmons, 60th Air Mobility Wing commander, hosted the Civic Leader Tour from Sep. 13 to 15.

“We can’t thank Col. Simmons and Team Travis enough for their time, effort, and hospitality in showcasing their installation,” said Col. Nate Vogel, 22nd Air Refueling Wing commander.

The civic leaders expanded their knowl-

edge on the mission Air Mobility Command provides to the United States and its partners. More specifically, the essential role that Rapid Global Mobility has in the U.S. Armed Forces.

“We were able to see another shining example of the incredible capability of our Air Force through Team Travis’ ability to mobilize and move the full power of the U.S. Air Force anywhere in the world on incredibly short notice,” said Shane Pierce, 22nd Maintenance Squadron honorary commander (HCC).

The CLT empowered McConnell civic leaders to better communicate with and support our airmen by gaining familiarity of the complete scope of AMC operations.

“The tour helped me be a better honorary commander by increasing my knowledge and connections to share and spark ideas,” said Kara Hunt, 22nd Maintenance Group HCC. “There were some great discussions that occurred on the trip that I know are going to be beneficial.”

Airmen from Travis AFB briefed and held conversations about the vital role they have in rapid global mobility for AMC and witnessed firsthand the air refueling mission that McConnell AFB provides.

The tour included trips to various locations on the installation; including, the Phoenix SPARK Lab, David Grant USAF Medical Center and the Global Readiness Deploy-

ment Center.

While visiting Travis, the civic leaders were even given the opportunity to tour aircraft that supported the recent evacuations from Kabul, Afghanistan.

Civic Leader Tours allow community leaders to gain a deeper understanding of the mission AMC holds in the U.S. Air Force.

“Positive and meaningful engagement with our local communities is vital to a healthy installation,” said Vogel. “This trip was a phenomenal opportunity for a few of our key civic leaders to see another part of the AMC mission while building relationships with each other, and with AMC leaders.”

The tour will spark more in-depth conversa-

tions between community and military leaders on how to support airmen and their families in McConnell’s surrounding communities.

“I wish everyone had the opportunity to peek behind the curtain of The United States Air Force; Mission Minded, Service focused and executing with Excellence,” said Jana Day, 349th Air Refueling Squadron HCC. “That of course, is not their ‘motto,’ but it is what I walked away with from my recent trip to Travis AFB. I am humbled to be in the Honorary Commander program, to be a conduit between the Wichita community and McConnell AFB, sharing the story and needs of these amazing men and women.”

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — “For me, it felt like a split second,” said Master Sgt. Alexander Camales, describing his recent life-saving efforts at a popular lunch spot outside Travis Air Force Base, California.

“I’ve gone through self-aid and buddy care every single time it comes up, and gained the knowledge that I needed to know to perform,” recalled the 349th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron mechanic.”

And perform, this Citizen Reserve Airman did.

Camales and Staff Sgt. Joshua Fowler, also a C-5M Super Galaxy maintainer with the 349th AMXS, were finishing lunch with friends at an off-base establishment when Fowler heard a nearby customer make what sounded to him like choking sounds.

Fowler explained, “I stood up and asked him if he was okay. He gave me the choking sign. I asked him if he wanted our help.

He shook his head yes.”

Camales, who was seated closest to the man, jumped up and sprang into action as he administered an abdominal thrust, according to Fowler.

MSgt. Alexander Camales, 349th AMXS aircraft maintainer, relied on self aid and buddy care training to help save a life.

“He did this several times until I heard whatever was lodged in his throat dislodge, and that was it,” said Fowler. “It happened super-fast!”

Fowler turned to Camales and exclaimed, “You just saved someone’s life!”

The airmen doublechecked with the man to make sure he was okay before they departed.

Camales was quite humble about the whole event, explained his fellow wingman. “He doesn’t like a lot of attention on himself,” said Fowler.

With complete confidence, Camales attributes his ability to

save the man’s life to his Air Force training.

“There was never a question in my mind that I was not doing it correctly,” he recalled. “I honestly felt like due to my training, I was able to perform [the life-saving maneuvers] to the best of my ability.”

Tactical Combat Casualty Care will replace the current Self-Aid and Buddy Care training in December 2021 as part of the Agile Initiative.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr.’s recent initiative is to develop all airmen with the ability to provide life-saving care across all spectrums.

JOINT BASE SAN A NTONIO - L A C K LAND, Texas – When it comes to rescuing seals and sea lions, Christine Rodriguez has learned to take things step by step.

“It’s all baby steps,” said Rodriguez, an Air Force Civil Engineer Center environmental specialist and trained biologist. “From treating illnesses and injuries to teaching them to eat fish so they can survive in the wild, their rehabilitation revolves around little steps that move them from rescue to release.”

Rodriguez’s keen understanding of the road that leads rescued animals back to their ocean home started when she volunteered at The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California, shortly after joining the Travis AFB Installation Support Section in December 2019.

“It is important to me to try to make the world better however I can,” she said. “I think we can do that through our jobs, but we can also do that outside our jobs.”

The Marine Mammal Center is a huge animal rescue and rehabilitation facility featuring large pools and state-ofthe-art veterinary suites

nestled in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge.

With previous experience at zoos and animal shelters, Rodriguez said the center felt like a perfect fit. She completed her training in January 2020, which got her in under the wire before Covid-19 arrived.

“The center stopped taking new volunteers, but there were still so many patients that needed help,” Rodriguez said. “I met lots of animals that first season.”

Most of the animals she met were harbor seal pups who had been abandoned by their mothers.

Typically, these “big babies” arrive at the center starving because they haven’t yet learned how to eat fish, let alone catch them. Rodriguez would begin the stepby-step process to “beef them up” and get them healthy again.

“We initially tube feed them so they don’t starve,” she said. “Once they are a little healthier, it’s time for fish school.”

The first step of fish school is introducing the pups to the fish and encouraging them to swallow. Volunteers then place the fish in the pool and encourage the pups to eat the fish indepenSee Rehab, Page B6

Rehab From Page B5 dently. Finally, the fish are tied on a line and quickly dragged through the water to mimic swimming fish.

“We are trying to get the pups’ instincts to kick in so they will track the fish,” Rodriguez said.

“When those instincts kick in, when you see that light bulb go off, it is one of the best feelings in the world.”

The excitement Rodriguez experienced during her time with her seals during the early days of the Covid pandemic translated into some virtual fun with her Travis AFB team.

Kirsten Christopherson, Travis AFB Environmental Quality lead, said she was happy her teammate was able to link

in with The Marine Mammal Center during such a challenging time.

“She brought her positive experiences to our team by sharing photos, videos and stories of her work at the center,” Christopherson said.

“Ultimately, her stories brought our team closer together even though we were physically separated.”

Rodriguez wrapped up her first harbor seal pup season in August 2020 and returned to the center in February 2021 for a season full of new challenges. During this recent season, she added a Sunday shift to her already busy Saturday schedule.

“It really is a second job,” she said, “but they need help and I can’t turn my back on those who need help.”

Although her crews typically stick to the center and direct patient

Toffee, a California sea lion, came to the center with an injury sustained during a shark attack. Rodriguez helped the veterinary staff complete Toffee’s final release exam and was invited to attend the sea lion’s official sendoff.

It was a breezy, cool

Word, Vaca join Travis Credit Union’s board Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — Travis Credit Union welcomed Richard Word and Sal Vaca to its governing board during the board of directors meeting in August.

The board of the credit union is composed of volunteers who reflect the diversity and interests of the organization’s membership, according to a press release.

As a memberowned, not-forprofit cooperative, Travis Credit word Union’s board of directors is elected by its membership to be stewards of the resources put in their care, according to the press release.

Word and Vaca are both graduates of the year-long Volunteer-atLarge Training Program, which requires a yearlong commitment and includes monthly classes that cover every aspect of the financial institution, from strategy to technology and risk management.

Word fills the seat vacated in May by Patricia Moreno.

He has 30 years of law enforcement experience, including the nine years he served as Vacaville’s chief of police.

Word has served on the board of directors of the Vacaville Neighborhood Boys and Girls Club and the Opportunity House, reflecting his commitment to the well-being of the community.

Vaca joins as an associate member, bringing with him a wealth of experience in the Contra Costa County region. Vaca has

more than 30 years of experience in the workforce development field.

He served as the executive director of the Richmond Workforce Development Board for the past 18 years where he established many award-winning programs, including the nationally recognized R ich mond Bu i ld Program.

Moreno, who led the board for the past seven years and who has been a board member since 2004, is now an official director emeritus serving as an adviser to the board of directors.

Deborah Aspling was elected in April to lead the board, joining Vice Chairman Kevin Burke, Treasurer Doug Beaumont and Secretary Mary Coburn.

Non-officer board directors are Len Augustine, Dee Alarcon, JP Kirkley, Brian Howell and the newly elected Word. Tim Murrill remains an associate director, alongside Associate Member Vaca.

Tom Kulinski remains a director emeritus and is joined by Moreno.

The Supervisory Committee remains unchanged: Tim Truesdale (chairman), Johanna Benker (member) and Kari Mulholland (member).

Travis Credit Union, a not-for-profit cooperative financial institution with headquarters in Vacaville, serves those who live or work in Solano, Yolo, Sacramento, Placer, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Napa, Contra Costa, Alameda, Sonoma, Colusa and Merced counties.

In brief

Delta pushes airlines to share no-fly lists Delta Air Lines shared with the Federal Aviation Administration the names of more than 600 passengers it has banned for unruly behavior, and asked other airlines to also share their no-fly lists.

“A list of banned customers doesn’t work as well if that customer can fly with another airline,” Atlanta-based Delta wrote in a memo in advance of a Congressional hearing this week on air rage. The airline said sharing of no-fly lists would “further protect airline employees across the industry.”

Such a practice could increase the ramifications of bad behavior on planes. Currently, a passenger cited for refusing to wear a mask or other unruly behavior might be banned from that airline but could fly any other airline.

Dermody Properties to build new Fairfield industrial park Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The national industrial and real estate investment firm Dermody Properties recently announced the acquisition of 49 acres at Beck Avenue and Cordelia Road to develop five buildings totaling more than 700,000squarefeetinto a logistics space.

A ceremony to QUINN break ground on Building 1 of LogistiCenter at Fairfield is expected some time in the fourth quarter of 2021 with delivery expected in the third quarter of 2022.

“Fairfield is one of the most business-friendly cities in the greater Bay Area,” said George Condon, the West Region Partner for Dermody, in a press release. “The labor

pool is one of the strongest in the region and rental rates are approximately 40% less than rental rates along the 880-Corridor.”

Fairfield was one the fastest-growing cities in the North Bay from 2010-2019, according to statistics from Dermody, and is in the top quintile for housing affordability in Northern California.

There are more than 3,200 existing warehouse jobs in Fairfield, with a strong concentration of packaging and filling machine operators.

All five Dermody buildings in Fairfield are available for preleasing. Matt Bracco, Glen Dowling and Chris Neeb of JLL will represent Dermody in all its leasing activity.

“I’m not that familiar

with Dermody but George Condon has worked in the area a long time and he is very familiar with Fairfield,” said Sean Quinn, interim director of the Solano Economic Development Corporation, by telephone. “I think it will be good for Fairfield. There’s not a lot of space in Fairfield and it could bring in some big companies.”

The new industrial park will feature five buildings ranging in size from 82,629 square feet to 259,000 square feet. Some of the highlights include 32-feet-by-36-feet clear height, at least 50-feet-by50-feet column spacing and ample car and trailer parking. Each building will be equipped with an ESFR fire protection system and accommodate between 14 and 38 dock high doors.

Dermody touts that the properties will be easily accessible with the

San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento international airports, all located within a 60-mile radius, along with the ports of Richmond, Oakland and Stockton. The site will offer direct access to and is less than half-mile from Highway 12, and Interstate 80 is within 3 miles of the property.

“At Dermody Properties, our strategy is always customer-focused and includes sourcing and developing the best space for their needs,” said Tim Walsh, partner and chief investment officer at Dermody, in a press release. “LogistiCenter at Fairfield is in an ideal location that offers excellent proximity for a last-mile facility and a strong concentration of industrial labor.”

Editorial

Biden’s mixed messaging brings surge of Haitians to US The Washington Post

T

he sight of federal officers from the Western hemisphere’s wealthiest country corralling and deporting migrants from the hemisphere’s poorest one is a wrenching tableau, and nothing for Americans to be proud of.

That is what is underway now, as U.S. Border Patrol agents unleash a show of force against thousands of desperate Haitian and other asylum seekers camped on the banks of the Rio Grande in South Texas.

The episode is a distillation of Washington’s immigration policy dysfunction, tweaked, in some ways for the worse, by the Biden administration’s incongruous messaging.

Those Haitians, who make up the majority of some 14,000 migrants packed along the border near Del Rio, Texas, didn’t arrive by accident. What led many or most of them toward the border – in addition to unscrupulous smugglers – was what has turned out for most to be the false promise that a new president, publicly committed to a more humane approach, would relax the previous administration’s draconian policies. Large numbers of them had been living for years in South America, having fled their home country after it was hit by a devastating earthquake in 2010.

That’s largely what Biden has done for others, especially Central American families with children, tens of thousands of whom have been admitted to the United States this year. And he did so even as administration officials urged them not to attempt to cross the border illegally.

That glaring disconnect, between official dissuasion and on-the-ground leniency, has been received by Haitian and other migrants as an invitation to take their chances on reaching the U.S. border.

Now the door has slammed shut for many of them in Del Rio, especially the Haitians, whom U.S. officials began loading onto deportation flights over the course of last weekend. It is fair to ask why Haitian migrants, virtually all Black, are being subjected to expulsion on a scale that has not been directed at lighter-skinned Central Americans.

Haiti, reeling from crime, political upheaval, economic calamity and a devastating earthquake this summer, is in no shape to handle the return of thousands of deportees. Yet that is the burden Biden is imposing, evidently in hopes of deterring further waves of migrants. Under a public health rule invoked by the Trump administration at the pandemic’s outset, asylum seekers are being deported without hearings on daily flights to Haiti.

The policy is inhumane; equally, it is inhumane to incentivize migrants to risk the perilous, expensive journey across Central America and Mexico. Having mismanaged migration in its first eight months in office, which contributed to a two-decade-high surge in illegal border crossings, the administration clearly fears a backlash at the polls in next year’s midterm elections more than it fears the wrath of immigration advocates. Republicans, sensing electoral advantage, are using border “chaos” as a cudgel.

Many of the failings in the U.S. immigration system are reflected in the mess in Del Rio: the absence of any workable channel by which migrants could apply for asylum south of the border; the massive backlog and shortage of judges in migration courts, which means asylum applicants, once admitted, may wait two or three years for their cases to be heard; and the misalignment of high domestic demand for cheap immigrant labor with an inadequate legal supply of it.

Successive administrations tried to address some of those problems. Partisanship in Congress doomed those efforts. No major immigration reform has been enacted since the Reagan administration. Is it any wonder we’ve arrived at this juncture?

Dr. Matyas must go from his position I read the three Letters to the Editor today (Sunday, Sept. 5, 2021) and couldn’t agree more with each.

Our Solano Covid-19 numbers are bad and getting worse. Our esteemed Dr. Bela Matyas has been on the wrong side of solving the Covid crisis in our county since day one.

Anyone who believes he’s a scientist is sadly mistaken; he’s a politician. Anyone who believes that most Covid cases are contracted in homes and small social gatherings have to

Paper swings to the right

ask themselves the question, how and where did the virus originate and how did it get inside the home?

All of our neighboring counties have instituted indoor mask mandates and for good reason. We have not. Meanwhile, residents get infected, are hospitalized and some, unfortunately, die.

Let’s get smart and replace Matyas. He’s a clone of our Supervisor Jim Spering and looks after our businesses and the Chamber of Commerce, not the rest of us.

It would appear the Daily Republic is no longer an unbiased newspaper and hasn’t been for some time. We all know this paper took a hard turn to the right. A lot of people have canceled their subscriptions over that.

The only reason I keep this paper anymore is to help keep the people employed. Like the guy who delivers this paper.

If this paper doesn’t become what it’s supposed to be, unbiased, then I can’t really see it lasting much longer.

New California state housing laws make significant changes to zoning

In Los Angeles, tive fight, most of it under the news it was $825,000 in July – in the media radar because of attention

given to the Newsom recall election and pandemic.

“It was a good old-fashioned political showdown,” Wiener says.

The showdown was unique for a legislative battle. It involved mainly ordinary citizens, especially on the opposition side, much more than special interests.

The battle also was unique for another reason. It was less about partisanship than geography.

A lot of homeowners and some wannabe homeowners priced out of the market followed the old textbook advice to “write and call your legislator.”

“The NIMBYs fought very hard,” says Wiener, referring to local Notin-My-Backyard coalitions. “They’ve gotten organized – and loud. But there were grassroots advocates on both sides. Younger people who can’t afford single-family homes have gotten very organized and large.”

The most intense tussle was over local control, with dozens of cities – including L.A. – opposing the legislation.

“Local government has less control under these bills,” says Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, a former leader of the state Senate.

As a legislator, Steinberg pushed through some of the earliest legislation that attempted to incentivize more urban housing near public transportation.

“I’ve been on both sides. My view has not changed. Local control is an important value, but it’s not absolute.

It’s not more important than the desperate need in this state to produce more housing,” Steinberg says.

In the end, several protections were negotiated into Atkins’ bill to preserve rental and low-income housing, deter speculators and retain local government control over design standards.

Converting single-family houses into duplexes or fourplexes could occur only in urban areas.

I just don’t want a fourplex next door to me. But I also want my grandkids to be able to afford to live here.

Newsom and the Legislature showed courage in siding with my grandkids.
