From a distance, the lawn by the courthouse looked like a mobile medical unit, with white tent coverings and police and CHP vehicles. That wasn’t that far off the mark, because Saturday was the 6th Annual Solano County Family Justice Health Fair sponsored by the District Attorney’s Office. Dozens of booths were set up to share information about mental and physical health resources in our county, from Alcoholics Anonymous to Medicaid. Solano County District Attorney Krishna

Abrams has spearheaded many victim and family outreach measures such as victims’ compensation claims and crisis and emergency support for victims. But Solano County also has myriad agencies to help with everything else in between. Scott Rowe from My Insurance Solutions was there helping seniors and low-income residents learn about Medicare and Medi-Cal. “We help people understand how it works, help them get set up, let them know what their choices are,” he said.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s sweeping economic agenda faces an uncertain future in Congress after he failed this week to unify his own party around a strategy to pass a bitterly contested infrastructure plan that’s one of his top priorities. Biden seeks the $550 billion investment in U.S. roads, railroads, bridges and other public works to fulfill a signature piece of the economic revival he promised in his 2020 campaign. And its passage would provide a much-needed victory after months of setbacks. But now, going home to face

The U.S. has hit 700,000 fatalities from Covid19, a milestone marked by the spread of the delta variant as well as readily available vaccines that largely prevent serious illness and death.

About one-third of the stores We visited Kauai, the were closed. Few people northernmost of the Hawaiian were there. islands. It wasn’t our first visit, This was significantly so we knew what to expect, but different from previous visits. this was different. Restaurants were struggling: Kauai was still beautiful. It Some were closed, others were was still a great place to hike shut down two days a week, due and go to the beach and hang to labor shortages. Others were out at a condo. It was 85 degrees understaffed, so it took a long

time to get food. That wasn’t terrible – we were in Hawaii, so we weren’t rushed – but it was noticeable. Same with retail. Most stores were understocked and many stores limited how many people could go inside, like early in the pandemic in California. The conclusion: Kauai changed. Hawaii changed. I guess that’s no surprise since life changed since March 2020 in Fairfield and Vacaville and Los Angeles and Reno and Cleveland and Buffalo. Why wouldn’t it change in Hawaii? The second lesson was more personal and came after we agreed to rent a convertible. Seemed fun, right? It was a late-model Camaro (I’m not a car guy. Late-model means recent, right?) and looked cool.

A Camaro convertible! Not exactly Tom Selleck’s car in “Magnum P.I.,” but still a convertible. Getting into it, however? Not so easy. Oh sure, it’s easy when you’re 20 or 30 and limber. But you have to get so low to get into that car – like doing squats and then moving laterally! And it was a two-door model with a backseat, so it had big, heavy doors. Mrs. Brad and I spent the first few days shimmying to get into the car, only to find that one foot was stuck in the gap between the door and frame. Mrs. Brad got a bruise on her hip after repeatedly hitting the seatbelt holder while sliding in. Worse yet, when we finally put the top down (Hey! We’ve got a convertible! Let’s experience it!), we realized we lost

most of our trunk space and put our beach chairs, backpack and towels in the backseat with the hope they wouldn’t fly away. The conclusion: There’s a reason people our age drive sedans or SUVs. My Prius is easy to get in and out of, which makes it better than a convertible Camaro for me (you know you’re old when you discuss how easy it is to get into a car). This is no gripe. We’re privileged that we could travel to Hawaii. We’re lucky we could rent a car. Our vacation was a great experience after 18 months of a pandemic. But things changed over the past 18 months. My two travel tips for Hawaii: n Expect things to be different. n Rent a sensible car!

Dogs are getting stoned on neighborhood walks Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Bentley seemed to be in a haze. Normally this 12-pound Chihuahua-terrier mix would never refuse hot, fresh French fries from a drive-through fast food joint. But on a recent warm afternoon, he turned his head away at his owner’s offer. “He wouldn’t take them, so I knew something was wrong. He was just out of it,” said Dana Long, a resident of Tiburon. Long eventually took his dog to the veterinarian, who informed him that his typically sprightly and voracious Bentley was stoned. He had likely picked up a chocolate edible on the fields of a nearby middle school, where Long’s daughter was playing softball. While excess cannabis consumption by canines is not new, cases are growing as more and more states legalize the drug, and its use becomes more widespread, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The group’s poison hotline suggests that as more and more states have legalized recreational marijuana, reports of marijuana toxicity in dogs have also grown. Between 2017 and 2020, national call volume for cannabis ingestion rose from 1,436 to 3,923 cases, said Tina Wismer, a veterinarian and senior director of the New Yorkbased ASPCA Poison Control Center. Those numbers are likely just a fraction of the true incidence of marijuana poisonings – reporting to the control center is voluntary – but the trend is clear. In California, where

were eating human feces laced with pot. But stoned dogs are becoming so common, said Long, that both the veterinarian technician and veterinarian at his local animal hospital recognized Bentley was high, immediately. “I had thought maybe he was overheated,” said Long, recalling that afternoon. After the French fry episode, he brought Bentley home, and it quickly became clear that something was very wrong: Bentley could barely walk and seemed almost unresponsive. Long said he wrapped him in cool towels before his wife convinced him to go the emergency vet. When he got to the hospital, he said, the vet tech came out to greet him and

gave Bentley a quick look, and asked Long if he had any pot in the house. “I said no, because we don’t use pot. It’s not that we morally disapprove,” Long said. “It’s just not our thing.” Jandrey and Wismer said classic signs of marijuana toxicity in dogs include: unsteadiness on their feet, depression, dilated eyes, dribbling urine, sensitivity to touch and sound, slow heart rate and even low body temperature. Symptoms usually begin to present about 20-40 minutes after exposure. Wismer said if a dog owner suspects cannabis poisoning, they should contact their veterinarian immediately – in some cases, the vet will want to see the dog right away,

in milder cases, they’ll suggest your pet just ride it out at home. In Bentley’s case, clinical tests revealed that he had likely ingested a chocolate edible; a tox-screen showed the presence of chocolate. Long said he won’t stop walking Bentley, but thinks it is important people are aware their dogs could be exposed to discarded drugs as they walk around the neighborhood. He said he’s also not inclined to take him to a school or public park again. “Avoidance is the only prevention,” said Jandrey, who urged dog owners to modify their pet’s behavior, through training, while out on walks. “Dogs get into many things outside and inside the house.”

Supervisors to be updated by redistricting committee Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County supervisors are scheduled to receive an update from its Solano County Redistricting Advisory Committee when they meet Tuesday. The committee will report on the recently completed community outreach meetings in the various communities, which were designed to get public input on what the five supervisorial districts should look like. The board meets at 9 a.m. in the first-floor chamber of the government center, 675 Texas St., in Fairfield. There is no closed session on the agenda. The board, as part of its consent agenda, also is scheduled to consider allocating $250,000 to pay for two paralegals to help staff the Solano County Superior Court’s Legal Access Center “to assist tenants and landlords in (eviction) cases by assisting with the legal forms and navigating the rental relief system.” would The funds come from the American Rescue Plan Act Fund. The county has nearly $87 million in ARPA funding. The Board of Supervisors will hold a series of meetings, public starting with a 6 p.m.

Nov. 17 meeting, to receive additional input on the redrawing of the districts. The final decision rests with the board. The county, by law, is supposed to try to keep the districts as evenly populated as possible, but also take into consideration what are termed “communities of interest” that may have common demographics that should not be separated. A 21-page report also provided the board shows a 2020 Census population of 447,857, an 8.3% increase from the 413,483 counted residents in 2010. The largest gain in the county took place in District 5, represented by Supervisor Mitch Mashburn, with 14,128 of the 34,374 added residents from one census to the next, the report states. The new count took the district’s population to 95,112, moving it from the least populated district to the highest density district. District 4, represented by Supervisor John Vasquez, actually lost 400 residents, according to the report, and has nearly 5,000 fewer residents than the next closest district. However, the adjusted district populations only reflect the number of resSee Supes, Page A4

County’s trend continues in downward trajectory Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Vallejo passed 13,000 coronavirus cases and Fairfield climbed closer to the milestone despite the general downward trend in Covid-19 cases rates in Solano County. The county Public on Health Division Friday reported 200 new cases since Wednesday’s update, but only 118 were positive cases over the past two days. Some of the remaining 82 actually date back to early August, Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview. “So we are maintaining a little below 60 cases (the last two days),” said Matyas, adding that the 10-day daily average is 54.5. There were no new Covid-related deaths reported on Friday, holding at 297, and the number of residents who were hospitalized with the disease is down from 54 to 46, although the intensive care units saw an increase in patients, up from 18 to 20, Matyas said. However, because the area hospitals have a high percentage of staff who have met the vaccination mandate set by the state, there is no increased pressure on staffing care, the hospitals have reported. Matyas said that 99% of the county clinics

The county also reported that full vaccination among residents 12 or older is up from 66% to 67%, with 78% of that population having received at least one shot. The first mass booster clinic is tentatively set for Oct. 13 at the county fairgrounds in Vallejo. Anyone 65 or older or who are at high-risk for bad outcomes for the disease is eligible. The normal vaccine series as well as flu shots also will

be offered. Matyas said the latest student vaccination mandate issued by the state on Friday seems a bit premature since the earliest it is likely to be implemented is in July. Still, Kaiser released a statement supporting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s action. “Kaiser Permanente supports California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s strong and timely action today to protect students, faculty and staff who have returned to in-person learning by requiring eligible students to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to attend schools for in-person instruction, once approved by the Food and Drug Administration, beginning in 2022,” a statement attributed to Greg A. Adams, chairman and chief executive officer of Kaiser.

“This is an important step that will protect and school students employees across the state who have returned to full, in-person instruction this school year,” the statement said. With 62 new cases, Vallejo took its pandemic total to 13,050. Fairfield has 11,938 cases with 54 new reports. Vacaville added 42 cases to take its count to 11,689, the county reported. Benicia showed an unusual spike with 17 new cases to take its total to 1,439. Suisun City (3,156) added 14 new cases; Dixon (2,473) added eight; Rio Vista (569) added one; and two new cases in the unincorporated area takes that tally to 139, the county reported. The seven-day positivity testing rate was up from 7.2% on Wednesday to 7.8% on Friday.

Country church blesses animals big and small Susan Hiland

SUISUN VALLEY — Franky the horse is a love bug and wanted everyone to pet him Saturday. It was his first time being blessed by the Rev. Sam Alexander. It was also the first Blessing of the Animals for the pastor. “This is an opportunity for meeting people in the community,” Alexander said. “A lot of people misunderstand what goes on in a church.” He noted that Rockville Presbyterian Fellowship Church is one of the most interactive community churches he has ever been a part of and it was wonderful to see. The question many have is do animals have souls to bless? The pastor’s answer to that is complex. The idea of a soul is an ancient concept. “Do animals have consciousness? Many animal owners would say yes,” he said. The idea that God is love, love is a creative

force of God and is behind the evolutionary story, so that might mean that humans and animals are an expression of that love. “But then you need to define a soul,” he added. Alexander gave each visiting animal a simple Buddhist blessing with some appropriate food. “It is a Buddhist blessing. I am very open to different faiths,” he said. Franky the horse, 5, is well-loved by his humans, Kris Herman-Jones and her daughter, Bonnie Jones, 8, who brought him out for a blessing. “I want to keep him safe,” Herman-Jones said. “Anytime you can have God on your side it is a good thing.” They are part of the church and wanted to do this blessing for the horse. It wasn’t the first time she’s had a horse blessed but it is the first time for Franky. Gary Dreibelbis helped organize the annual event for the church again this year. “Because of Covid we didn’t do it last

The church had members of the Solano Community College Speech and Debate Team over for a Zoom debate the previous evening. The topic was do pets go to heaven? They didn’t know which side of the debate they would be arguing until they arrived and it ended up being a debate in support of the idea of pets going to heaven. “Oh, it was a good talk,” Dreibelbis said. “The conclusion was that animals do go to heaven.” Will and Kathlyn Leighton, also members of the church, said they were glad that people could see what the church does for the community. They brought their bassett hound/bichon frise mix, Murphy, who is turning 12 next month. “He needs all the help he can get at his age,”

Will Leighton said. “No, really, it is a great opportunity for people to see what is in the valley.” Along with the dogs and horse were a few cats that were on the property that got blessed. The Kona Ice truck came out, which was nice since it was warm and provided some refreshments for everyone. About 12 animals were blessed by Alexander.

Mobile skate park, Last free 2021 Drop-Off Day for community garden Suisun City residents is Saturday proposals go before Suisun council Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — The city’s Recreation, Parks and Marina Department will bring a proposed mobile skatepark and new community garden to Tuesday’s City Council meeting. The department got a $40,000 grant from the National Recreation and Parks Association. “Skateboarding has a low start-up cost for youth, is a hobby that is often carried for the rest of one’s life, and can be alternatively used as a form of transportation,” said a staff report. “Skateboarding also has a culture of inclusivity, especially amongst those with mental, cognitive, developmental, and physical disabilities, as well as those that identify as gender diverse.” It also notes for those with disabilities, there are now adaptive additions to skateboards that make them accessible to youth with a wide range of disabilities, and encourage the development of motor skills, communication skills, and a sense of belonging and community. The proposed mobile skate park would be able to travel to different parks and locations in Suisun City, eliminating barriers of transportation and distance, encouraging more youth to participate in a free activity that is currently unavailable in Suisun City. There is also accompanying recreation programming with the project, including free public beginner and intermediate skate lessons, an equipment repair program for participants,

free clinics for special populations, along with free equipment and giveaways for those that participate. The mobile skate park is set to be built and its accompanying programs are expected to launch by May 1. The city’s community garden ceased to exist about five years ago. It was located at the corner of Lotz Way and Civic Center Drive. “Community gardens can mitigate some of the problems that plague urban areas,” said a staff report. “They can be a beneficial addition to many communities by increasing the availability of nutritious foods, strengthening community ties, reducing environmental hazards, reducing food miles and creating a more sustainable system.” The area being considered for the new Community Garden is city-owned property that was once part of a plan to become a street. That idea never came to fruition and the land has been vacant ever since. The name of the street is Prosperity Lane, which leads to naming this project Prosperity Farm. This property sits adjacent to the McCoy Creek Bike Trail Phase 3, which will connect this area to the majority of the city by walking or riding a bicycle. A preliminary estimate brings the cost in at $760,000. The council meets at 6:30 p.m. in the council chamber, 701 Civic Center Blvd. The complete agenda can be found at www. suisun.com.

Vacaville prison employees honored at annual Medal of Valor Ceremony Daily Republic Staff

VACAVILLE — Three employees at California State Prison, Solano and California Medical Facility were among the 148 people recently honored for bravery and service at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation 36th annual Medal of Valor Ceremony. “These employees’ dedication to public service, their willingness to put themselves in harm’s way to save others and the work they do to improve our institutions and our communities exemplify the best in CDCR,” CDCR Secretary Kathleen Allison said in a statement. California State Prison, Solano Correctional Officer Earl Cooper received a Silver Star Medal awarded for

acts of bravery under extraordinary or unusual circumstances while displaying courage in the face of potential peril while saving or attempting to save the life of another person. Last October, the California Highway Patrol was involved in highspeed chase on Interstate 80 that ended when the suspect intentionally drove his vehicle into a tree. The car then burst into flames. Cooper assisted the CHP officer in freeing the suspect from the vehicle. The responding CHP officer said he would not have been able to save the man’s life without Cooper’s assistance. CMF Correctional Officer Cody Greer was awarded a Bronze Star Medal for helping See Valor, Page A10

50 Murray Bass Plan to live

Time to launch some long-term projects

ight now I don’t know whether I am coming or going as far as computer technology. I am still able to write and send my columns on my Windows 7 computer. I find the program makes lots of errors, but I can correct them as they occur. My Windows 7 voice recognition software can be effective if I am careful. The Windows 10 Dragon program takes dictation well, but I am not yet able to transfer completed programs by email. That will come. In the meantime, I will continue to use Windows 7. I think I have enough columns written that I can start developing my two seven-year projects. I will be contacting large charities and corporations to encourage them to help West African citizens. Several billion folks live there without the benefit of electricity. Many are unable to find food and clean water. Many do not have access to faith. A solar-powered charger of battery-operated CD players can be the vehicle that saves millions of lives. The equipment is commercially available and not expensive. CDs in native dialect on each subject can be developed. If you would like to help save these folks, let me know. We can make it happen. My second seven-year project involves writing a book and developing a plan for citizen review of government. Parts of our government are out of control and no longer adhere to our constitutional rule of law. The government will never correct itself. I would organize citizens’ reviews of each major component of government. For example, citizens review of the judicial branch. One of the functions of the citizens’ review would be to match judicial opinions to constitutional law. A branch and all of its departments would be subject to citizen review with its actions weighed against constitutional law. That’s the basic idea. No one or no department See Bass, Page A8

he Senior Coalition is t r a n sit ion i n g from a county agency to an independent organization – but the vision for the group is the same. In fact, the four-year strategic plan created just before the Board of Supervisors disbanded the group, is still the guiding document as it moves forward. The group is also developing its first budget. “We are a volunteer group that exists to coordinate and support efforts to improve and enrich the lives of older adults living and working in Solano County,” the coalition’s mission statement reads. Jenalee Dawson, the volunteer coordinator who has a history of working with seniors in Solano dating back to 2014, said there are about 104,000 residents who are 65 or older, and is the fastest growing age group in the county. An estimated 10,000 individuals turn 65 every day in the U.S. “So it’s more and more important to focus on our aging senior population,” said Dawson, who has a personal affinity for seniors because of her lifelong relationship with her grandmother. She pointed to their unique kind of wisdom, knowledge and experience, lessons taught to her by her grandmother, and lessons that have allowed her to develop relationships with Solano seniors. The group, currently a California Public Benefit Not-for-Profit Corp., became its own organiza-

county as its programs have certain government regulatory restrictions due to, for example,

income levels. But that does not mean the coalition is abandoning its relationship with the county, as evident by again being involved with putting on the Centenarian Celebration hosted by the Board of Supervisors. The event, for the second straight year, will be presented virtually due to Covid-19. The 15th annual celebration, recognizing Solano residents who will be 100 or older by the end of the year, is scheduled for Oct. 25. Dawson said 49 of the estimated 60 qualifying residents are expected to participate. “In the long term, I would like to see the same Senior Coalition that was under the Board of Supervisors, with all the same initiatives,” Dawson said. But first, the coalition must rebuild its membership and its partnerships throughout the county. It took a big step toward that on Sept. 24 when it hosted its first public event – a Senior Health and Wellness Expo at the Kroc Center in Suisun City.

Consider getting booster shot if you’re over 65

s you get older, your immune system ages with you. Similar to your walking or running speed, your body’s ability to fight off infection inevitably slows. This is why – although all age groups are at risk of contracting Covid-19 – older people face significant risk of developing severe illness if they contract the virus. And recent variants of the Covid-19 virus, particularly the Delta variant, spreads so quickly that it can rapidly overwhelm a sleepy or compromised immune system. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommend a booster shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine in certain populations, including people age 65 and older and those in high-risk jobs and institutional settings, such as hospitals and nursing homes, at least six months after their second shot. It also includes recommendations for boosters in those adults 18 or older with underlying medical conditions. Older adults are more likely to get very sick from Covid-19. This means that older adults with Covid-19 are more likely to need hospitalization, including sometimes the intensive care unit and a breathing machine. Older age groups and the immunocompromised are at highest risk for death from Covid. This risk from Covid increases for people in their 50s and increases even more in their 60s, 70s and 80s. Vaccines generate high levels of neutralizing antibodies, which are the immune system’s frontline defense against the virus. But these gradually wane over several months and are less effective against the Delta variant. Cell-mediated immunity is then relied upon for long-term for protection. Boosters help because they provide a huge jolt of antibodies. In those age 65 to 85, a third dose of Pfizer’s vaccine has been found to produce a more than 11-fold increase in antibodies compared with the second dose. As state and local public health officials roll out plans for distributing booster shots, those who meet the eligibility requirements should strongly consider getting the booster shot. Visit California’s MyTurn.ca.gov website for options on scheduling third-dose appointments. Seth Kaufman, M.D., is chief medical officer at NorthBay Healthcare.

Self-defense classes help Asian senior citizens fight racist attacks Tribune Content Agency

n June, a 70-year-old Filipino American man was punched in the face at Don Knabe park in Cerritos. The assailant told the man to “go back to your country.” A month later, dozens of Asian American senior citizens practiced self-defense moves in the same park where the attack occurred. Wearing sun visors and fanny packs, the seniors kicked, punched and jabbed. Sovanna Yeang, 65, was practicing groin kicks, slamming her leg into a foam pad that a volunteer held in front of his crotch. Yeang, who is Chinese Cambodian, said she is concerned for her safety after seeing television news reports about attacks against elderly Asians. “If somebody attacked me, I didn’t know what to do,” she said. “I’d just run. I didn’t know how to yell or anything. Now, I learned some things. I’m not scared anymore.” The self-defense class was organized by Seniors Fight Back, which formed early this year as hate crimes against Asians rose during the pandemic. Violent attacks, captured on video, against older Asians in Oakland and San Francisco Chinatowns have left some senior citizens so fearful that they barely leave the house. So far, Seniors Fight Back has hosted four classes providing seniors with basic grounding in how to defend themselves against an attacker. “There were so many attacks on our elders, and I was just getting really frustrated,” said Tony Dang, 32, a cofounder who owns a Vietnamese pancake catering company in Fountain Valley. While some Asian Americans have organized volunteer patrols to escort seniors to their destinations, the answer for Dang lay in self-defense. A friend, Andy Luong, had shared an Instagram post about boxing classes that raise funds for Asian American and Pacific Islander organizations. Dang asked Luong to connect him with Box for Change, the group that runs the classes.

Senior From Page A6 providing information about their services. The immediate result, said Roxie Allen, the chairwoman of the five-member board of directors, was immediate contacts from other groups wanting to host similar expos, as well as a bump in the number of individuals who attended the group’s next meeting. About 20 people who were not regulars attended. “Of those 20, I would say at least 15 were new,” said Allen, of Vacaville, adding the current membership is close to 30. other coaliThe tion directors are Janet Olson, of Fairfield, Candy Dinzey, of Fairfield, Judy Calpo, of Rio Vista, and Tracee Stacy, of Vacaville. The goal is to expand the board to seven members, hopefully with representation from other parts of the county. “It doesn’t really matter, but it would be great to get someone from Vallejo because Vallejo is our largest city,” would assess the damage done by partisan politics. I am sure there are a number of other things that should be reviewed by citizens. The long-term objective of the program is to return the power of government to the people. It would require the people of our country to be a part of their government. A return to the intent of America as founders viewed it. Our problems can be

People demonstrate at the “Stop Asian Hate March and Rally” in Koreatown in Los Angeles, March 27. Dang spoke with Hong Lee, the 35-year-old victim of a racist verbal attack at a Los Angeles restaurant, who had been taking the boxing classes. The three began discussions that expanded to include a network of friends and acquaintances, including mixed martial arts fighter Ron Scolesdang. Their first class, in Hawthorne on May 12, drew about 20 seniors. A few weeks later, in Little Saigon, more than 200 showed up. They have now hosted five workshops, including one in Rowland Heights earlier this month. The group of about 10 volunteers is seeking nonprofit status and is hoping to expand to more cities in Southern California and across the country. In California, anti-Asian hate crimes more than doubled last year, according to the state attorney general. Then-President Trump has emphasized the coronavirus’s Chinese origins, and some people have attacked Asian Americans with rhetoric asserting that they are to blame for the pandemic. Elderly Asian immigrants who are assaulted are often reluctant to speak out, said Linda Vo, a professor of Asian American studies at the University of California, Irvine. Many are wary of the police, uncomfortable about communicating in English or ashamed about being victims, she said. But the rise in anti-Asian attacks has mobilized many Asian Americans and encour-

Allen said. Another thing that doesn’t matter to this coalition is age limits – an issue close to Allen’s heart since she has worked with youth organizations in the past and would love to connect the generations through the coalition. “You do not have to be a senior to be part of the coalition. I think it would be great to have younger members,” Allen said. But Olson is quick to emphasize that the work of the coalition will still be focused on seniors, however that is defined: 65 and over, 60 and over, 55 and over or even 50 and over. The three primary tenants of the group moving forward are senior health, active aging and safety. “Seniors are my passion,” said Olson, who coordinates activities at Paradise Valley Estates. She is a firm believer that seniors need to be active, physically and mentally, to be at their best, so that is why she joined the coalition board. Fall prevention is high on Olson’s priority list, and that requires exercise and a level of handled by caring and patriotic citizens. If you’d like to join in a discussion of what may be possible and how it can be done, please let me know. The idea of having an assembly hall full of people with ideas and patriotism is exciting to me. How about you? Murray Bass of Fairfield can be reached at 720-5139 or mzb602@gmail.com.

aged them to share their experiences, according to Judy Wu, a professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California, Irvine. “It’s been such an intensity of racialized attacks that more and more people are understanding that there’s a need to speak up,” Wu said. Self-defense classes for senior citizens have also caught on in Little Tokyo. Janette Lee, a second-degree black belt in tae kwon do who served as senior activities coordinator for the Little Tokyo Service Center, organized five self-defense classes this year. Most of the participants were low-income, monolingual Korean, Japanese or Chinese American senior citizens, Lee said. Almost all were female, and some told stories of being attacked. “I started because I was really angry about what was happening, because when I was looking at the news, I saw that most of the hate crimes were targeted toward seniors,” Lee said. Art Ishii, who has taught martial arts in Little Tokyo for three decades, hosted two selfdefense workshops in June. About 30 people, mostly elderly Asian American women, attended each class. He is considering holding a third. “It’s sad there is suddenly a need for more self-defense,” Ishii said. “It’s sad that we can’t just do martial arts or go about our business and exercise and walk and take life for granted.”

At the July Seniors Fight Back class in Cerritos, Shirley Green said she wants the selfdefense workshop to become a regular offering. “This is excellent,” said Green, 72, who is third-generation Japanese American. “They should have it all the time.” A husband and wife from Rossmoor said they no longer take walks in their neighborhood after seeing attacks against Asian American seniors on the news. “It’s always in the back of our minds,” said the man, 77, who gave only his last name, Jen, because of fears for his safety. “We’ve lived in the U.S. for over 30 years. This is the first time we’ve felt uncomfortable living here.” As the event wrapped up and the seniors delivered their final kicks, Cerritos Mayor Pro Tem Chuong Vo said, “You’re all trained fighters now.” Everyone burst into laughter. Cesar Echano, the Filipino American man assaulted at the park earlier this year, has fully healed from his injuries. He hasn’t gone back to the park yet but said he will soon. He said his attacker has not been arrested. At another Seniors Fight Back class Aug. 5 in downtown Los Angeles, Scolesdang, the MMA fighter, barked out instructions that were translated into Korean. More than 100 people, mostly elderly Korean women, listened as he described how to grab an assailant’s neck and perform elbow strikes. But these physical techniques should be a last resort, Scolesdang said at the class, which was sponsored by L.A. County Supervisor Hilda Solis. Being aware of your surroundings and projecting confidence through body language are the best tools to deter attackers, he said Young Sook Kim, 70, said she has started taking a taxi instead of her usual bus to Koreatown for groceries because she is scared of being assaulted. “I want to learn how to protect myself. That’s why I’m here,” she said through a Korean interpreter.

She never even saw any visitors. So when she moved to Solano County, one of the first things she did was organize the neighborhood so everyone got to know each other and became a kind of next-

door support group. Right now, Allen said, there is a need to grow, and that means getting the coalition’s message out to the various communities, and the various organizations and businesses that work with seniors in those communities. That means connecting with churches and senior centers, with health care providers and senior living providers and anyone else who

is committed to improving the lives of the aging population. “I think just getting the seniors more engaged and getting them more comfortable in their lives (is critical),” Allen said. “It’s the isolation that I’m most worried about.” That situation was worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic, so she admits the coalition has its work cut out for it.

Republican Party not radicalized Jack Batson’s column on Sept. 13 is laughable. The Republican Party is not radicalized. It has been and still is conservative and a party of law and order. Batson’s comments regarding the two Muslim members of Congress is way off base. They don’t, as he wrote, “simply want us to honor what we’re always proclaiming: ‘God gave the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to everyone. . . .’ ” Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar equate Israel (and the U.S. by the way) with terrorist groups Hamas and Taliban. That’s radical. If the Democratic Party is “just trying to solve the nation’s problems,” why is there no progress? Why so many more people on welfare and more homeless people? Why are hundreds of thousands from all over the world swarming our open southern border unmonitored, some bringing Covid, drugs, human trafficking? Why are housing, gas, food, utilities and taxes so high? Why was more than $2 billion in unemployment benefits given to people who are incarcerated? The list is too long to mention all the wonderful “progress” that Democrats have made. Republicans violent? That’s bassackwards. Look at the summer of violence where major cities were overtaken and burned by anarchists. What did the Democrats do? Nancy Pelosi said she wanted people to keep protesting in the street. Maxine Waters told protestors to “get more confrontational.” Our vice president told people to go out and make noise and then she set up a gofundme account to bail out of jail those criminals who were burning down city blocks and attacking government property. That’s radical. Chuck Schumer? He said the Supreme Court would “pay for it” when they made a decision he did not like. Sounds like a threat. That’s very radical. A few years ago when the “Occupy” group was attempting to take over cities, Pelosi said, “Bless them.” That’s radical. The Republican Party is a party of pro-life and the Democratic Party is a party of “pro-death,” i.e. killing unborn babies: human beings with complete DNA and beating hearts. That’s extremely radical. So, who’s radical? Pat Sivigliano Fairfield

en. Joe Manchin III on Wednesday outlined – yet again – why he won’t support the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, outraging progressives who already think that number is too small. They can huff and puff all they want, but they won’t blow down the West Virginia Democrat’s house because he correctly reads public opinion. Manchin’s words restate what he has said before: The nation’s fiscal situation is too dire to unnecessarily add to the country’s debt burden. He rightly references the looming fiscal cliffs that Social Security and Medicare face as their trust funds approach insolvency. But the most important line in his stateHenry Olsen ment has nothing to do with the dollars and cents; it is about what the goal of new spending should be: “The amount we spend now must be balanced with what we need and can afford,” Manchin said, “not designed to reengineer the social and economic fabric of this nation.” That sentiment is a dagger pointed at the heart of the progressive cause. Reengineering the fabric of American life is modern progressivism’s whole point. Its adherents believe that the nation is in crisis – a climate crisis, a systemic racism crisis, an economic inequality crisis. Crises demand immediate and wideranging action, not incremental change or tinkering around the edges. That’s why progressives hark back to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, a series of acts promulgated in the face of the crisis of the Great Depression that radically and fundamentally altered American life. Their insistence on this, which strikes many merely liberal Democratic ears as strident intransigence, is a feature, not a bug, of their worldview. Their ambitions, however, can only prevail in a democracy if they are supported by public opinion. “Public sentiment is everything,” Abraham Lincoln once said. “With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed.” FDR succeeded because four years of a depression convinced a supermajority of Americans that their system was broken and needed radical change. There is no substantial evidence that Americans today believe that. Joe Biden won a narrow majority of the popular vote against the only president in modern times to have never reached 50% job approval throughout his entire term. Democrats expected a landslide, but instead lost seats in the House and failed to take control of state legislatures in states such as Texas and Georgia that just two years prior had looked like they were turning blue. They gained narrow control of the Senate only because Georgia’s election law required Republican Sen. David Perdue to compete in a runoff, even though he outpolled his Democratic opponent, now-Sen. Jon Ossoff, on Election Day. Public opinion polls support this sober conclusion. More people disapprove of President Biden’s performance today than approve of it; in fact, his approval rating had began slipping among independents well before his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan unfolded in August. Biden’s job approval among this key demographic was essentially split in late June, with 46% of independents approving of his job performance and 45% disapproving. Independents had turned against Biden by late July, with only 42% approving and 48% disapproving of his presidency. Other poll data suggest that key segments of the electorate agree with Manchin on his concerns about progressive goals to transform America. An August Echelon Insights poll showed that 49% of independents thought $3.5 trillion was too much to spend in reconciliation, compared with only 26% who thought it was either too little or the right amount. A September Ipsos poll found that the crises progressives think are imperative to address rank poorly among Americans’ views of the most important issue facing the country. Only 7% think the environment and climate is the most important issue while only 6% choose inequality and discrimination. Even Democrats ranked public health and the economy as priorities. The progressives’ bête noire, Ronald Reagan, explained decades ago after the crushing defeat of Barry Goldwater: “Human nature resists change and goes over backward to avoid radical change.” Manchin, who has been winning elections since 1982, understands this; his progressive foes do not.

for more government intervention “human activity.” While sea levels are rising faster over the past century, it is not the first time in history the level has raised abruptly. As per NASA, this has happened repeatedly. The sea level has risen an astounding 430 feet to our current modern history of 3,000 years. Earth warmed about 4 degrees for these events. During the past 100 years, Earth has warmed about 1 degree. So what fossil fuels and “human activity” caused the warming trends thousands of years ago? The Daily Republic published (May 2021) “Solar storms are back, threatening life as we know it on Earth.” It’s an 11-year cycle. NOAA scientists conclude that sun activity is one of four factors. While the amount of acreage burned in western states has increased since the 1980s and in California the past three years, it pales in comparison to the peak of the 1930s, which was five times greater in landmass. It amazes me that the science of the 1980s and the environmental protection movement actually screwed up our state. I learned in elementary school that the indigenous people burned vegetation to manage the forests. Now 60 years later we have to relearn that pain with science answers for the 21st century? Let’s relearn another 20th century science. Reservoirs and dams help the environment. We learned that dams create wetland habitats for other species, increase biodiversity, improve water quality, store water during droughts and minimize flood risk.

Compassion or tough love? Well folks, here we go again. The president and Congress have come up with a $3.5 trillion omnibus spending bill. President Joe Biden assures us that the price tag will be “zero” because they have already costed it out on paper. They are planning on soaking the rich to cover it under the guise of “paying their fair share.” Since it has never worked before, what could possibly go wrong? Speaker Nancy Pelosi says, “it’s not about the money; it’s about who we are as a nation.” I’m not going to touch that quote

except to point out that she has lots of her own money so she can be sanguine about it. As for the nation, we are a compassionate nation which makes us gullible at times. (Think about Lucy and the football as the government and Charlie Brown as the nation.) So, ladies and gentlemen of the middle class, prepare to be screwed, again. When the money runs out, which it will, even after the government hires an additional 125,000 IRS agents to monitor everyone’s bank accounts and flag every transaction over $600 (in the bill), the rich will just hire more accountants and lawyers, and the poor can fall back on a guaranteed monthly income with no work requirements this time (in the bill). We may be a compassionate nation, but sometimes tough love is required, and this just may be one of those times. Judy Ewing Vacaville

DR Opinion Page cartoon was misleading I am very disappointed to see the editorial cartoon the Daily Republic chose to run in the Sept. 24 paper. Showing border patrol agents on horses with the bubble copy, “So . . . chasing Black people . . . with ropes and whips . . . makes us racist?” is contrary to the facts and only serves to exacerbate the racial tensions that already exist. Firstly, during the referenced incident, the Border Patrol agents were not in any way singling out Black people. They were preventing people from illegally crossing our border, which is what they were hired to do. Their race is irrelevant. Secondly, they were not carrying whips and certainly not using anything on the migrants attempting to illegally cross the border. This has already been debunked. According to the Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, the photographer who captured the incident and others who have closely studied all the footage, the agents were doing their jobs correctly, had no whips and were not using the reins to whip anyone. They were using their reins to maneuver their horses in order to enforce our border laws and keep everyone (including their horses) safe. This is their job. Attempting to deflect attention away from the crisis at our southern border and somehow twist the news such that the brave men and women protecting our border are somehow the bad guys, is not what I’d expect from a newspaper which should be reporting facts.

Study: Solano ranks 6th in Woman’s screams for help ends with arrest state for purchasing power of Fairfield man Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A New York-based financial technology company rates Solano County as having the sixth highest purchasing power rate among California counties. Solano rates 422 in the country. “Purchasing power is the amount of goods and services that can be purchased with a unit of currency. Given the disparity of income and cost of living across the U.S., the degree of purchasing power will vary depending on levels of income and living location,” SmartAsset noted in its study material. “Places with high living expenses will likely negatively impact disposable income, and places with lower living expenses can allow for more flexibility in budgeting and spending,” the study stated. “Finally, we calculated purchasing power in each county by determining the weighted cost of living as a percentage of median income. The top locations were those with the highest median income relative to the cost of living.” SmartAsset lists the median income in Solano – the point where half the salaries are higher and half the salaries are lower – at $81,472, with the cost of living being $48,339. “We calculated two different cost of living metrics for a household with one adult and no dependents. One reflected the baseline cost of living in each location and the other reflected expendi-

SmartAsset rated Solano County as having the sixth highest purchasing power rate among California counties. tures typical to someone making the county’s median income. We combined these two numbers using a weighted average based on how close each county’s median income was to the minimum livable income in that area. We then subtracted income taxes paid in that area,” the study states. Placer County had the highest purchasing power index, followed by El Dorado, Santa Clara, Napa and Alameda. Following Solano were San Mateo, Contra Costa, San Joaquin and Ventura counties to complete the top 10, the study noted. The study reviewed a number of areas to determine the cost of living. “People differ in how much they’re willing to pay on extras like entertainment and gifts, but we all have to pay for the

necessities. That means housing, whether you rent or buy. Then there’s food, childcare (if you have kids), medical costs and transportation,” the study states. “The cost of many of these necessities has been rising across the U.S. While there are many budgeting tips and tricks that can help you cut down on extra expenses, it’s harder to trim the costs of the basics.” Also calculated into the cost of living analysis were taxes, and the cost of education. SmartAsset also looked at what it termed “extras,” but also noted them as necessities. “These ‘extras’ include clothing, personal care items and household cleaning products. You could go without some of them for a little while, but they’re still necessities,” the study material states.

“We’re talking about things like toothpaste, the clothes you wear to work and the sponge and dish soap you use to clean your dishes. The good news is that these tangibles have gotten less expensive even as the costs of childcare, housing and medical care have gone up. Items including clothing, cellphones and computers have become relatively more affordable. That may not entirely take the sting out of your rising rent or your high healthcare premiums, but it can help.” The study also refers to “mobility,” and the ability to relocate. “Economists consider mobility to be a good thing.

FAIRFIELD — Golden 1 Credit Union announced Wednesday it has received two national awards recognizing its commitment to its employees and strong company culture. For the third consecutive year, Golden 1 has been named one of Forbes’ Best-in-State Employers in California, the credit union reported in a press release. Companies were selected based on an independent survey from a sample of more than 80,000 employees working

for organizations with at least 500 employees in the U.S., according to the press release. Golden 1 is the only credit union based in California to make the list the past two years and is one of three credit unions included nationwide this year. “It is a great honor to be named as one of America’s best employers by Forbes for the third year in a row,” said Donna Bland, president and CEO. “Since day one, Golden 1 has been committed to our employees, making every effort to go above and beyond to support the overall

health and well-being of our team. This has proven to be especially important over the past 18 months as the pandemic, racial injustice, political division, and natural disasters have taken a toll on all of us.” Golden 1 has also been named to American Banker’s list of Best Credit Unions to Work for in 2021. “Golden 1 has always believed that investing in our employees is key to our success. We know fulfilled employees help foster happy members,” Heather AndradeNeumann, senior vice

president and chief human resources officer, said in the press release. “We are humbled by both of these awards and grateful for all of our employees who continue to make Golden 1 a great place to work.” Golden 1 Credit Union, with headquarters in Sacramento, has more than $17 billion in assets and more than 1 million members. It has more than 1,900 employees. Branches in Solano County are located in Fairfield, Vacaville and Vallejo. Visit www.golden1.com for more information.

Coast Guard returns 199 Haitians to Haiti More Haitian migrants were halted at sea in the fiscal year that ended Thursday than the previous two years combined, the U.S. Coast Guard said. The 199 migrants returned to Haitian law enforcement in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, Saturday put the total for the fiscal year that ran from Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30 at 1,527. After Coast Guard Air Station Miami HC-144 Ocean Sentry spotted them, the Coast Guard Cutter Bernard C. Webber stopped the 199 migrants on what the USCG described as an “grossly overloaded” 50-foot freighter around 2:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon southeast of Pointe de la Plateforme. No injuries or significant medical concerns were noticed. — Tribune Content Agency

Deaths From Page One yet over – has killed a slightly different profile of patient. Covid-19 remains most dangerous for older people, but nursing home deaths are running well below their previous peaks, even in hot spots like Florida, thanks in part to targeted vaccinations. Yet the delta wave has killed a higher proportion of people ages 40-65, who have lower rates of vaccine uptake. It will have taken less than four months for the virus to claim another 100,000 lives in the U.S., which has the world’s highest death toll. Even with vaccines, and now increasing mandates, the nation will now surpass last year’s death toll of

almost 352,000 people. The picture looked more optimistic on June 15, when the U.S. passed 600,000 fatalities. The virus had ebbed after a deadly winter surge and as millions of Americans, particularly senior citizens, were vaccinated. “Today, we’re closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus,” President Joe Biden said on July 4. But by then, the B.1.617.2 variant, first detected in India in 2020 and later named delta, already accounted for 85% of new cases, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Infection. It spread largely among pockets of the unvaccinated, first from Missouri to the U.S. South. Florida for a time made up a fifth of U.S. cases.

bemoaned a looming threat to Roe v. Wade and implored Americans to enlist in a nationwide campaign to preserve women’s abortion rights. “No matter where you live, no matter where you are, this moment is dark – it is dark – but that’s why we’re here,” Alexis McGill Johnson, president of Planned Parenthood, told the crowd at the “Rally for Abortion Justice.” “It is our job to imagine the light even when we can’t see it,” Johnson said. “It is our job to turn pain into purpose. It is our job to turn pain into power.” By 1 p.m., the crowd had swelled to the thousands as people spilled into the streets on either side of Freedom Plaza, clustering in pockets in the shade, their eyes on the stage. “Not only is abortion health care, but at my organization we also believe it’s self-care,” Marsha Johns, executive director of the Ayiha Center, a Texas-based abortion rights organization, told the throng. “You can no longer tell us what to do with our bodies.” At that, the protesters erupted in cheers, many hoisting homemade signs and chanting, “Abortion is healthcare!” The day of demonstrations, organized by the Women’s March, was the first the group has sponsored since former president Donald Trump left office in January. Trump’s 2016 election catalyzed the first Women’s March, which drew millions of protesters to Washington and around the country and is widely considered the largest single-day demonstration in the country’s history, inspiring people to become first-time protesters, activists and politicians. Attendance at sub-

After passing the Senate to fanfare in August, the bipartisan infrastructure bill hangs in the balance as Democrats quarrel over a $3.5 trillion tax-andspending package that forms the heart of his economic agenda. A House vote on the public works bill was postponed again on Friday, and Biden visited the Capitol to tell lawmakers to take their time – a disappointing message for centrists eager to boast about the legislation for the midterm elections. The roads-and-bridges plan has become a “legislative pawn, which is regrettable,” said Tom Daschle, a former Senate majority leader. “The thing that gives me some hope and optimism is there is a realization on the part of Democrats that this is essential. If we fail to do this, we might as well just go home.” The infrastructure package alone would do

sequent marches has declined. But organizers are hoping to energize the movement around threats to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court case that protects a person’s right to an abortion. With a 6-3 conservative majority on the high court, many now fear that Roe could be in jeopardy. In addition to the protest in Washington, organizers said planned more they than 600 demonstrations across the country, including New York City, where thousands could be seen marching across the Brooklyn Bridge toward Foley Square. In downtown Chicago, where several thousand abortion rights protesters gathered, Kathy Flora, 50, said the Texas ban compelled her to travel in from the suburbs to attend her first demonstration. “I just can’t believe it’s gotten to this point, to be honest,” she said. “I thought it was supposedly settled law.” At a protest in Jackson, Miss. a group of women in their 60s questioned whether younger women would fully grasp the consequences of Roe being overturned. Lisa White, 65, who traveled 170 miles from her home in Bay St. Louis, Miss., said the way women’s rights are being “slashed across the board” evokes reminders of her youth when she said her aspirations of going to law school were dismissed by men who thought “women should be barefoot and pregnant.” “I was not taken seriously,” said White, who attended law school in Connecticut. “I had to fight for everything I got.” In San Francisco, the thousands of marchers along Market Street included Jessie Reynolds, 20, a student who said she began to follow politics only recently after becoming aware of the Black Lives Matter movement. “That was my ‘coming to Jesus’ moment,” she

said. Referring to the abortion rights movement, she said she hoped the march would “put the fire back in women. I wasn’t a part of this fight up until this year and I’m hoping that a lot of other people have turned that switch on.” As the day’s events began into downtown Washington, people streamed into Freedom Plaza from across the region and beyond, many of them mothers and daughters arriving together for what they said was their first protest. “I’m hoping my kids won’t have to protest for their bodies,” said Katie Donovan, 18, who arrived from Maine wearing a red tank top that read, “Keep Your Laws Off My Body.” Her mother, Katrina Marianacci, 48, stood nearby with her other daughter, the two of them also wearing the same tank top, said she wanted the girls to “see what happens when women come together to fight for their rights.” Lisa Santoro, who lives outside Philadelphia, drove to the rally in Washington with her two adult daughters, Molly and Abby. As a high school student in the 1980s, Santoro said she never feared that she would lose her legal right to an abortion. Now she worries her daughters won’t have the same access. “Maybe we should have been out here marching for reproductive rights all along,” she said. The demonstration also drew hundreds of antiabortion protesters, including a couple of dozen who sought to disrupt a morning faith service hosted by abortion activists at Freedom Plaza. “Woe to you!” one man protesting abortion yelled. “The blood of innocent babies is on your hands!” To drown him out, the crowd erupted in singing and clapping, as one woman, Angela

Jamison, 51, of Fairfax, Va., stepped in to point him back across the street where the counterdemonstrators were supposed to stay. After the speeches at Freedom Plaza, thousands of protesters marched along Pennsylvania Avenue, led by an all-female drum line and chanting, “My body! My choice!” At the Supreme Court, they were met by another group of counterprotesters who greeted them with a banner that read “We are the pro-life generation.” “Abortion harms women!” the counterprotesters chanted as a live band played Christian rock. “We’re leading what should be the true message of a women’s march,” said Michele Hendrickson, 35, the director of strategic initiatives for Students for Life of America. “If we want to talk about women empowerment, then we shouldn’t be feeding women a lie that they need abortion to succeed.” Alveda King, an evangelical minister and antiabortion activist who is the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., stood in front of the Supreme Court and prayed. “We are crying out for the babies,” King said. “What you’ve done in Texas, do it across the country.” As the march ended outside court, protesters and counterprotesters exchanged chants – “Prolife! Pro women!” one side shouted, “My body! My choice!” the other side countered – until U.S. Capitol Police officers separated them. Abortion advocates were happy to see the words “abortion” included in the name of the March, said Aimee Arrambide, the executive director of Avow, an abortion rights group in Texas. “There is stigma surrounding abortion, even from people who support abortion access,” she said.

more for the nation’s roads and bridges, water and internet access than has been done since the New Deal, said D.J. Gribbin, who was President Donald Trump’s top aide on infrastructure issues. Biden himself has lashed together the fate of the infrastructure plan and the much larger social-spending and tax package. He’ll continue engaging with lawmakers over the weekend and plans to take his case to the American public, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement on Saturday. “I’m going to be going around the country this week making the case why this is so important,” Biden told reporters at the White House. “I think we will get it done with plenty of time for it to be part of changing the tax code for people next year.” The president’s public approval rating has eroded in recent weeks, after the coronavirus delta variant touched off a resurgence of the pandemic he’d declared all but defeated, the chaotic and deadly U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the appearance of thousands of Haitian migrants on

the Texas border. Just 43% of Americans approved of Biden’s performance in September, down 14 points from his high-water mark in April, according to Gallup. “Afghanistan is a loser for Biden. So is immigration,” said Frank Luntz, a pollster who typically works for Republicans. “We won’t know about Covid until this winter, but he has done everything humanly possible to get people vaccinated, so he will not be responsible if things go badly.” Celinda Lake, who runs Lake Research Partners and served as one of the leading pollsters for Biden’s 2020 campaign, said that voters are hearing too much about congressional procedure and too little about what Biden’s economic plans would do. “Americans feel like we are not getting anything done, and the biggest point people make is they want something done,” she said in an interview. “Honestly, all of this process talk, including the discussion of the amounts of money, is nonsensical to voters. It is amazing we are talking about the amount of money instead of what it buys.” Yet that’s a conse-

quence of the thorny negotiations Biden’s had to navigate, which require finding a topline cost for the social spending plan that’s acceptable to two centrist Democrats in the Senate, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. House progressives say they won’t support the public works bill until Sinema and Manchin agree to pass the larger legislation – a collection of education and support programs for low- and middle-class families as well as new measures to fight climate change. On Friday at the Capitol, Biden told House Democrats that if he had the votes to pass the infrastructure plan now, he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi would do it and move on to the social-spending bill, according to a person familiar with his closeddoor remarks. But they don’t, he said, so he sided with progressives who want to keep the two measures connected. As Biden left the Capitol on Friday afternoon without any clear plan to finish either piece of legislation, he gave reporters a thumbs-up sign. “We’re going to get it done,” he said.

One such team is the Courage Center, which assists law enforcement and other authorities in interviewing alleged

Hurricane Sam waves to slam Florida Tribune Content Agency ORLANDO, Fla. — Hurricane Sam weakened to a Category 3 storm Saturday as it churns out in the middle of the Atlantic but still threatens dangerous surf conditions on the Florida coast. The National Weather Service in Melbourne issued a rip current statement Saturday morning about the incoming swell. “An increasing long period swell moving into the surf zone will produce a high risk of life-threatening rip currents along the Atlantic beaches of east central Florida this weekend. Entering the surf is not advised,” the statement reads. Going into the weekend, Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue was flying the red and purple flags for both dangerous surf conditions and dangerous wildlife such as jellyfish. They performed three rescued on Friday, according to spokesperson Capt. Tamra Malphurs. “Building surf from

Sam will create hazardous rip current conditions throughout the weekend. Please swim in front of a lifeguard,” she said. The center of the seventh hurricane of the year is more than 1,200 miles away from Florida and no longer a threat to land as it’s moving away from Bermuda, located about 435 miles east-northeast of Bermuda and headed northeast at 17 mph with 135 mph sustained winds, according to the National Hurricane Center’s 5 p.m. advisory. It quickly grew into a hurricane as of Sept. 24, and into major hurricane one day later, having remained a Category 3 system for eight days. It reached 150 mph winds, a strong Category 4 system, twice in the last week, equaling the strength attained by Hurricane Ida earlier this season to tie it for the strongest hurricane of 2021. The system has a wide wind field with hurricane-force winds

extending out 70 miles and tropical-storm-force winds extending out 240 miles. Several weather stations on Bermuda were measuring 40 mph winds Saturday morning. The system is headed into the Atlantic now, and

losing some strength, the NHC said. “Sam is likely to become a hurricaneforce post-tropical low by Monday night or early Tuesday,” said NHC hurricane specialist Robbie Berg.

FAIRFIELD — Adrian Zaragoza has been listening to piano music from before he was born. “My mom played the piano while she was pregnant with me,” Zaragoza shared in an email. The Davis teen will help the Solano Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Maestro Semyon Lohss, kick off its 35th season on Oct. 10. He will play “Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor” by Beethoven. Zaragoza previously dazzled the orchestra’s audience with his performance as a winner of the Solano Symphony Orchestra’s “Young Artist Competition.” There are challenges and joys when playing the piece. It’s important to stay true to its classical style, while also staying true to the idea that this concerto was very futuristic for its time, he said. “It is a challenge of finding the balance between interpreting this concerto as a late classical work and an early romantic work,” Zaragoza wrote. “There are also some technical passages that have needed extra practice as sometimes the music of Beethoven does not always feel nice in the hands of the pianist (in terms of technical pianism), in terms of musical structure, musical ideas and sonorities. I find his music to be very appealing, and I also find fun in the technical challenges.” Another challenge, but a very enjoyable challenge, is finding the sonic balance between the piano and the orchestra, and also seeing how the piano and the orchestra interact and react to each other, the teen said. “The progression of the piece fascinates me, from the grandness and dramatism of the

VALLEJO — Six Flags Discovery Kingdom welcomes guests back to Northern California’s largest annual Halloween event, Six Flags Fright Fest, through Oct. 31. “We are incredibly excited to bring back Fright Fest for our guests,” said Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Park President Janine Durette, in a press release. “Six Flags is about creating fun and thrilling memories for all, and Fright Fest brings back the exceptional scares and quality entertainment to celebrate the Halloween season safely in Northern California.” Visitors will find six haunted houses, animal shows with Halloween themes, live entertainment, creepy scare actors prowling the midways and rides in the dark.

e all have our own relationship with James Bond. Mine goes back to being high school age, giggling over popcorn as Roger Moore said wisecracky things and drank martinis and drove too fast and . . . well, I was never quite sure what exactly Bond was doing over there in the British Secret Service, whatever that was, but it all felt terribly grown-up and fun. And though now I’m older and presumably a tad wiser, my Bond-meter seems to have been permanently set long ago. Bond movies are supposed to be fun, and while I’ve found a lot to admire in the Daniel Craig era (my favorite: “Skyfall,” for the Roger Deakins cinematography and for the great Judi Dench), I do miss the silliness. I share this background because how you respond to “No Time to Die,” Craig’s fifth and final Bond outing (he’s long said this would be his last), might have a lot to do with how your personal Bond-meter is set. There’s a lot of validity to the idea of a grittier Bond, one who’s faced the darkness inherent in getting shot at all the time – one who’s, my goodness, growing and developing as a person – and the Craig See Bond, Page B3

Bond From Page B1 movies embraced that. But all that darkness isn’t much fun, particularly when the world has quite enough darkness already. “No Time to Die” has moments of pleasure, lots of them, but ultimately it feels heavy in a way a Bond movie shouldn’t; its pacing is off and it can’t quite sell the earnestness and even sentimentality of much of its storyline. (And of course it’s way too long at 163 minutes. Be forewarned.) Things pick up here just after the events of “Spectre,” with Bond and psychologist/love object/Woman-With-aSecret Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) having an idyllic canoodle in a stunning Italian hotel (really, we should have gotten a few more shots of that room). Suddenly, the past intrudes, explosions ring out, secrets are revealed, some truly excellent motorcycleriding is executed (by Bond, natch), and our star-crossed lovers part. For some movies this would be an entire plot; for a Bond movie, it’s just a pre-credit sequence (albeit a very long one). “Five years later,” the screen informs us, Bond is retired in Jamaica but gets pulled back into The Life – one last heist, as it were – thanks to archvillain Lyutsifer Safin (Rami Malek), whose name alone tells us all we need to know. (Well, that and his weird cracked-glass complexion.) Spoilers abound in this movie, so I’ll just say that it’s a treat to see a few old friends again – Naomie Harris’ Moneypenny, Ben Whishaw’s Q (and to meet Q’s cat!), Ralph Fiennes’

Shelter From Page B1 “Lawman” (he’s an attorney) on keys; Russ “Smokey” Peterson (a firefighter) on vocals; Jim Semitekol on guitar; and Jeff “Jeffo” O’Sammon on vocals and guitar, who played with the late great bassist Jaco Pastorius. Also performing with the group is Paul Smith on vocals (aka Mr. Energy); Eddy Oser on vocals and guitar, he’s recently released some singles with his band Sweet Undertow; James “Mr. Country” Havercamp on vocals and guitar (he’s a recovering attorney); Bob Reyen and Tim Maezell on trumpets; Steve Dambrosio, Marty Izenson and Michael Reich on saxophones; and Peter Fetterolf on trombone. “All of these players have been playing throughout the Bay Area for decades,” said Julie Clemens, director of development for Shelter Inc. Eckstrom said many of the band’s songs could be considered signature tunes. “If I had to pick one, it would be the first song we will play, ‘What is Hip’

M – and to get acquainted with some new ones, most notably Lashana Lynch’s extremely badass new 007, Nomi, who demonstrates an uncanny ability to fire a gun while simultaneously dragging some unfortunate fellow by the scruff of the neck. Director Cary Joji Fukunaga, the first American to direct a Bond movie, gets good work from the actors (I also enjoyed a sly turn by Ana de Armas as a brand-new and very chic spy), but struggles with pace. Some of the action scenes are whip-quick and thrilling, such as an early one on a bridge; but the movie’s second half drags, with Malek never quite getting the impact his character should. And Craig, in his swan song? Well, he looks splendid in his tux, and takes more bullets than seems proper, and every now and then gives the teeniest hint that he might be having a bit of fun. But just a hint. My favorite moment in this movie, weirdly, had nothing to do with action or plot or fashion: Bond, wearing a visitor’s pass at MI6 headquarters, leaves in a suave huff, tearing off the pass and tossing it in the general direction of Moneypenny’s wastebasket. It soars elegantly through the air and lands in the basket, perfectly; he doesn’t even notice, because he knew it would. That’s Bond. James Bond. May he return, in another actor’s capable hands – and bring a little more escapism with him next time.

‘The Addams Family 2’ delivers diminishing returns K atie Walsh

Tribune News Service

he 2019 animated feature “The Addams Family” was a cute refresh of the classic Addams Family characters for a new, younger audience. Clocking in at 83 years young (Charles Addams’ cartoons debuted in The New Yorker Magazine in 1938), it’s amazing that the Addamses have the staying power that they do. The new films, shepherded by directors Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon, stay true to the Charles Addams aesthetic in design and sensibility, and the filmmakers have assembled a talented voice cast to embody this macabre and tightknit family and deliver the darkly punny dialogue that is their hallmark. The first film struck at the heart of what makes the Addams family unique: the way they embrace being different is actually more inclusive and loving than whatever usually passes for “normal.” That sentiment is repeated in the sequel, “The Addams Family 2,” but the whole endeavor unfortunately delivers diminishing returns. Lacking in narrative rigor, “The Addams Family 2” is merely a series of loose vignettes knit together by a family road trip format. Patriarch Gomez (Oscar Isaac) is inspired to take the

He grew up hearing classical music in the house. Today, he plays that classical music. “When I was a bit older, I began to more deeply explore the works of Beethoven, which led to me falling in love with his music, especially this piece,” he wrote. He plans to major in music and finding a career as a professor, performer, or both. Zaragoza began playing the piano when he was 4. He credits his mother and a cousin as his main inspirations for learning the instrument. “I have several memories of listening to them playing as a young child and thinking to myself how amazing it must be to play the piano,” he wrote. Zaragoza walked up to the piano when he was 2 and started finding the notes to the famous Ode to Joy theme from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. He was invited to play Carnegie Hall last year.

whole crew on a vacation in order to encourage family bonding after Wednesday (Chloe Grace Moretz) starts to feel alienated from the rest of the Addams, embarrassed by their overbearing affections at her school science fair. The suggestion, perpetrated by a persistent lawyer (Wallace Shawn) in hot pursuit, that Wednesday may have been switched at birth, has her questioning everything. Soon it comes to light that this same stage as all of my musical heroes.” Covid-19 restrictions brought him several challenges on a musical and personal level. Zaragoza had to rethink all of his musical plans for the next 18 months. There were times it was very devastating as opportunities were cancelled. He made sure to involve himself in music on the virtual scene. “I was still able to perform and compete virtually, which were very gratifying experiences,” Zaragoza wrote. “I also made many friends in the piano community as we all came together virtually during the pandemic through several online platforms that were created for high school aged pianists during Covid-19.” He finds it difficult to choose a favorite classical pianist. Among his favorites are Martha Argerich, Mitsuko Uchida, Evgeny Kissin, Armen Babakhanian, Andras Schiff and Maurizio Pollin. “I could go on forever on why I love the pianists above and why I love so many different pianists for so many different reasons, so I will try to narrow down why I love each of the pianists above. “Argerich (her playing is very structured and full of joy), Uchida (all of her music is so well thought out and so personal, it is a very satisfying blend of academic understanding, emotional devotion and personal confidence and conviction). “Kissin (the power in his sound is unlike any other pianist in my opinion, yet it does not sound aggressive, it sounds exciting and energetic); Babakhanian (the most beautiful, personal, genuine and individual pianist I have heard), Schiff (the clarity of his musical ideas is so intellectually stimulating and so emotionally touching), Pollini (the balance between his hands is so satisfying to listen to, a

lawyer has been hired by mysterious mogul Cyrus Strange (Bill Hader), but his conviction that Wednesday is his true progeny could be hiding a far more nefarious agenda. While the family hits Niagara Falls, Sleepy Hollow, Miami Beach, the Alamo and the Grand Canyon, it’s a chance for Wednesday to consider what it truly means to be an Addams. But the plot structure just feels like the opportunity for a series of slapdash sketches with references to other films like “Carrie,” “Top Gun” and “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure,” plus, of course, lots of random moments and montages set to pop tunes. As Wednesday uses a voodoo doll to marionette poor Pugsley

(Javon Walton) around to House of Pain’s “Jump Around,” the opening bars of the song will send any elderly millennial or Gen-Xer right back to a sticky beersoaked dive bar, and that nostalgia bait seems the only reason for that sequence to exist. “The Addams Family 2” feels like it’s lost the spark of the first one. The jokes that felt fresh in the first film are stale here, the story’s twists glaringly predictable. The film boasts four different screenwriters and one can’t help but wonder if this might be a case of just too many cooks in the kitchen. The film could be amusing for a very young set, but alas, it’s not even spooky enough to truly delight the little horror hound in your life.

Adrian Zaragoza began playing the piano when he was 4. piano played by Pollini becomes an instrument of its own kind under his hands).” Zaragoza looks forward to playing with the Solano Symphony a second time. “They play with so much energy and passion it’s infectious, all of the members of the Solano Symphony are such great musicians and wonderful people. I look forward to meeting again with them and performing together,” he wrote. Zaragoza credits his family and professors Richard Cionco and John McCarthy for their guidance and mentorsphip. He speaks English, French and Spanish fluently and remains deeply connected to his Spanish and South American heritage.

At the season opener, the Solano Symphony will also presents Schubert’s Symphony No. 6 in C major, “Little C major.” The orchestra’s December and February programs confirm

that life is getting back to normal. Selections from Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” ballet will again fill the hall for the holiday celebration, which also features the sound of the solo mandolin in a performance of Hummel’s Mandolin Concerto, performed by Dana Rath. In the new year, the annual Salute-to-Youth program welcomes back exceptional student musicians, ready to share their talent with a live audience after enduring the confines of virtual-reality musicianship. In March, featuring the World’s Greatest Classics, the orchestra brings to life one of the choicest works of the symphonic repertoire, the Symphony No. 2 in C minor by Tchaikovsky, known as the “Little Russian,” which brims with Russian folk melodies and musical color. For those who revel in blasts of popular music bursting from the stage, May’s Annual Pops Concert presents energetic tunes from Vienna, Spain, England and Hollywood; everything from a rhythmic Strauss quadrille to music that captures the excitement of a James Bond adventure and the zaniness of Looney Tunes cartoons.

Is America a Christian nation? Consider what Thomas Jefferson said, who some secularist point to as promoting a separation of church and state, “No nation has ever existed or been governed without religion. Nor can be. The Christian religion is the best religion that has been given to man and I, as Chief Magistrate of this nation, am bound to give it the sanction of my example.” Thomas Jefferson was a regular and faithful attendant of Sunday Worship services held at the U.S. Capitol and was instrumental in establishing that worship. He even signed presidential documents “In the year of our Lord Christ.” Abraham Lincoln, in the midst of the Civil War, set apart a day of national prayer. This request made by the Senate said, “Sincerely believing that no people, however great in numbers and resources or however strong in the justice of their cause, can prosper without his favor; and at the same time deploring the national offenses which have provoked his righteous judgment, yet encouraged in this day of trouble by the assurances of his word to seek him for succor

Samuel McGarrigle

A Christian nation doesn’t mean all citizens are Christians. according to his appointed way through Jesus Christ, the Senate of the United States do hereby request the President of the United States, by his proclamation, to designate and set apart a day for national prayer and humiliation.” So what makes a Christian nation? A foundation based on a genuine respect and reverence of God, as revealed in His word, the Bible. While many have purposely rejected the God of the Bible and the salvation promised by repenting of sin and accepting Jesus as Savior, Christian principles still remain central to our nation’s fabric.

While some misguided souls seek to remove all mention of God from our nation’s history and memory, it still remains true that this nation was founded on Christian principles. We need to honor and uphold our history. It’s not too late for America. “If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them.” — Jeremiah 18:8. The Rev. Art Zacher is pastor at Berean Baptist Church in Fairfield. He can be reached at artzacher@sbcglobal.net.

Today’s birthday Cosmic forces conspire to concoct a love potion. Crushes intensify; affection grows. You’ll keep your light shining bright by going where its radiance is celebrated. You’ll get a lucky break, and your talent will be put to use, earning you more money than you anticipated! Family credits your support for their success. Virgo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 22, 5 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe money can’t buy happiness, but a lack of funds doesn’t come with a lot of smiles either. Do what you need to do to make yourself comfortable with the financial end of things. Communicate your needs and wishes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Adaptability is your superpower today, and you can get used to almost anything. The question is: Which tolerable thing benefits you? Just because you can be flexible doesn’t mean you should be. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People frequently say they wish they had started sooner. Wishes having to do with time travel are, ironically, wastes of time. Start now and you won’t have to worry about it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re coming to a realization about an arrangement. Your true feelings will be amplified. If you are inwardly revolting, it’s about to get very “outward” indeed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Anyone can express tenderness when it’s obviously the expected tone. Tenderness expressed when it doesn’t need to be will stand out in the best way. Your tender heart will give and receive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be extremely transparent. Your face will betray your heart’s confidence, telling people what you mean to keep to yourself. This could liberate you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Consciously or not, you tend toward relationships with people who are different from you. This benefits you in many ways. It broadens your awareness and gives you access to new resources. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The person who makes you laugh isn’t the same one as the person you go to for favors. Both are necessary in your network, which is becoming vast and varied. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Understanding your own motives will lead to a change in your goals. The one you decide to pursue will bring you skills, friends and joy beyond expectation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Writer Henry Adams said, “Friends are born, not made.” Whether or not you agree, you’ll soon meet someone with whom you have an instantaneous connection. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Handle complex problems; you have the mind for it. As for the resources, though they might not be available at this very second, they will magically come to hand once the plan is in motion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are loyal and protective. Today you’ll be on guard against anyone who dares to move in on your territory. And for those who have gained your trust, your world will be wide open. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Gwen Stefani exemplifies Libran artistry. Her natal sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus are all in Libra, naming the two robust forces of her astrological chart as relationships and art. Because her personal life is a source of both creativity and intrigue, Stefani leans into her Neptune in Scorpio to protect the privacy of those nearest and dearest to her.

season is here

Protect yourself, your family with shot Dr. Colleen Townsend

Partnership Health Plan of California

pper respiratory infections (URIs), “colds,” are common in the fall and winter months. Most URIs are caused by viruses and last from 7 to 21 days. Since viruses and not bacteria cause colds, antibiotics are not effective or needed to stop the symptoms or the spread of the infection. Influenza viruses are common from October to March. These viruses cause colds and lung infections. However, for some people, flu infections can be serious. For very young children and older adults or individuals with a weak immune system, an infection with influenza carries a high risk for serious illness and death. Most influenza infections begin with a sudden headache, fever, body aches, congestion, cough and tiredness. Many people describe this as “feeling like I was hit by a truck.” The symptoms are strongest the first 3 to 5 days of illness. Then they gradually improve. Cough congestion and fatigue continues for one to two weeks. For most people, the flu is treated with over-the-counter medications or home remedies. If the symptoms are severe, such as difficulty breathing, eating and drinking or fever lasting five or more days, it is recommended to

schedule an appointment with a medical professional immediately. However, for people who have lung problems, such as COPD, emphysema or asthma, and those with other chronic conditions (diabetes, heart disease), it is important to contact a medical provider right away when influenza symptoms begin. For some people, a prescription medicine for influenza virus may be appropriate. This may shorten the illness and prevent spreading of the infection. Medical providers will determine the best time to use medications and for whom they are recommended. The following steps prevent the spread of influenza and other infections: n Wash your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub (rub your hands together well until the gel dries. n Cover your cough and sneezes. Use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough and always throw away the used tissue in the trash. Wash your hands after you cough or sneeze. Cover your cough and sneezes with your sleeves or cough into your elbow if you do not have a tissue available. n Stay home when you are ill to avoid spreading the virus to other people. Try to remain as separate as possible from others in your household. n Avoid touching your eyes,

nose and mouth. The influenza vaccine decreases the risks and complications with influenza infection. The flu vaccination decreases rates of infection and spread of the virus and decreases the overall death rate from influenza. The California Department of Public Health and Centers for Disease Control recommend all people receive an influenza vaccination every year. In particular, it is important to vaccinate children between 6 months and 5 years old, adults over 50 years old, and anyone of all ages with chronic illness. Based on CDPH guidelines: Annual influenza vaccination is strongly recommended for everyone 6 months or age or older. People at high risk of complications from influenza include children younger than 5 years old, adults over 65 years old, pregnant women and anyone with chronic medical conditions. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for the body to respond and develop protection against the flu. Influenza vaccine is widely available in the Solano County communities. Contact your primary care provider or local pharmacy to get your influenza vaccine.

Giants lose late lead, chance to clinch vs. Padres Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — The historic National League West race that no one expected has taken yet another dramatic turn. The Giants had won seven in a row entering Saturday and the Padres had nothing to play for but pride, but San Diego overcame a pair of one-run deficits before securing a 3-2, 10-inning win to prevent San Francisco from clinching the division title.

“Obviously we wanted to win the game and not have to rely on somebody else, but it’s the story of the season,” third baseman Evan Longoria said. “I think overall the group was disappointed after the game today feeling like we had some opportunities to win the game, but ultimately the Dodgers are a good team too.” With two outs in the top of the 10th, Giants manager Gabe Kapler replaced 22-year-old reliever Kervin Castro

with lefty Jarlín García with two outs and a runner on third base. The move gave the Giants the type of matchup advantage they’ve sought constantly throughout the 2021 season, but García surrendered an RBI double to Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth past a dive of first baseman Wilmer Flores that allowed the go-ahead run. Castro had just struck out Padres star Fernando Tatís Jr. when Kapler

elected to walk Manny Machado intentionally so he could bring García in to face Cronenworth. The Giants’ manager said postgame that neither Tyler Rogers nor fellow set-up man Dominic Leone were available Saturday due to their recent heavy workloads. After failing to score in the 10th inning against Mark Melancon, a Giants team that won 106 of its first 160 games lost for the first time in a week, meaning San Francisco

will need to win its season finale on Sunday or have the Brewers beat the Dodgers in one of their final two games to avoid a potential Game 163 at Oracle Park on Monday. The Dodgers, the juggernaut and eight-time reigning champions of the division, were expected to be here all along. Los Angeles was the team that many anticipated to win 100-plus games, challenge for another World Series title and set the pace for the rest of the majors.

The Padres, after all of their high-profile offseason transactions, were the club expected to be the Dodgers’ greatest challengers. Instead it’s the Giants who are the ones learning just how many wins they’ll have to rack up to outlast the Dodgers, and on Saturday, their late failures cost them a chance at coveted No. 107. With the Giants ahead 2-1 in the eighth inning, reliever Zack Littell See Giants, Page B14

Rio Vista, 22-7, in SDL rivalry

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — For 3½ quarters the Rodriguez High football team couldn’t get out of its own way. The Mustangs then scored 16 points in the final six minutes to celebrate homecoming with a 28-20 victory over a feisty Armijo squad at Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium, Friday. In the process, Rodriguez opened Monticello Empire League play with a win and extended the best start in school history to 6-0. “Like I told you, this team, they play hard,” said Myles King, who became the first Mustangs coach to start his tenture 6-0. “We play to the last whistle, we definitely didn’t execute like we should have, but at the same time we got the job done. So, we’ll take it. We’ll fix it on Monday, do our best to fix it on Monday.” First year Armijo coach Don Mosley was disappointed in the outcome but not in his team’s effort. “We played hard, man,” the coach said. “It’s the same thing every week; you see we get better. . . . I know we played some teams starting our non-league season and we put everything we had into this game. We had them against the ropes, we made some blunders on our end we need to fix in practice. But we gave them all they could handle.” From the start, despite losing the opening kickoff – an onside kick – to the Mustangs. The Royals (1-5) got the scoring started on their third offensive play with a sideline pass from Eddie Concepcion to Kaiba Washington on which the latter sprinted 63 yards for a touchdown. Washington then caught a pass from Concepcion for a 2-point conversion,

Armijo’s Dameion Regalado, left, tackles Rodriguez’s Jamoryon Johnson during a football game at Rodriguez High School in Fairfield, Friday. Johnson’s key 9-yard reception set up the Mustangs’ first touchdown late in the first half. a play that would keep Armijo in front for more than three quarters. Rodriguez, meanwhile, went nowhere in slow-motion, suffering an interception by Dameion Regalado on fourth down and turning the ball over on downs on three straight possessions. Things turned when Rodriguez’s Jeremiah Hill deflected a pass intended for Regalado that was intercepted by Leroy Bryant at the Armijo 26. On the second play of the possession, Mustangs quarterback Miles Meadows found Bryant deep for a 63-yard gain down to the Royals’ 11.

Three plays and a 1-yard penalty later, Meadows hit Gabriel Batres in the back of the end zone for a 3-yard TD with 2 seconds left in the half. Malik Dawson was stopped short on the 2-point conversion try, keeping the score 8-6. Despite being outgained 173-62 in the first half, Armijo came out ready to play in the second. In a bizarre play, Rodriguez’s Malachi Jones appeared to be stopped after a 10-yard gain but none of the officials blew their whistle. Armijo’s Ziair McElvaine wound up with the ball and following a brief consultation among

the referees, possession belonged to the Royals. After a procedure penalty, Washington snagged a pass out of the air that had been deflected by Rodriguez defender Bentley Williams and turned it into a 46-yard touchdown 29 seconds into the second half. Williams made up for his misfortune by batting away a 2-point conversion pass intended for Washington. The stunned Mustangs saw their next possession end when Armijo’s Cesar Torres made a diving interception, but See RHS, Page B14

Late offensive surge lifts Vanden to 35-14 win over Will C. Wood Matt Miller

MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Quarterback Tre Dimes and his Vanden High offense found some extra energy after an unexpected 20-minute power outage to the stadium lights in the third quarter and rolled to a 35-14 win over visiting Will C. Wood Friday night at George A. Gammon Field. The Vikings scored three fourthquarter touchdowns to break open a tight Monticello Empire League opener for both schools. Dimes had two long TD passes in that stretch and finished a big night 13-for-24 for 230 yards, with one interception and three touchdowns.

It was a big matchup in the league opener for the two Peabody Road rivals who each finished the non-league season 4-1. “We really weren’t executing and came out and had a slow start,” Dimes said. “We didn’t have a great week of practice. We really weren’t together and not playing like we should. We eventually figured some things out.” Wood made it a 14-14 game with 1:31 to play in the third quarter. Quarterback Ken Tilford raced 40 yards for a touchdown – his second long score of the night – but was tripped up in the end zone by his right foot and he injured his ankle. Tilford was out the rest of the game.

“That was a tough break,” Wood head coach Jacob Wright said. “Hopefully, he’ll be all right. We’ll come in in the morning and watch some film and find out. We gave up two big plays in the end and the momentum got away from us.” Dimes connected with Brayden Chavez for a 43-yard touchdown with 8:10 to play in the game. The Vikings’ defense held Wood to four plays on the next series before Dimes hit Michael Belk with a 78-yard strike on its first play of the Vikings’ next series. Cameron Fisherman capped the scoring when he raced 37 yards for a touchdown with 2:48 to play in the See Vanden, Page B14

RIO VISTA — The Vacaville Christian football team shook off some early misfortune – and an early deficit – to earn a hard-fought 22-7 Sierra Delta League road victory at Rio Vista, Friday night. The Falcons (5-1, 1-1) were signaled to have earned a first down on a fourth-and-1 play deep in Rams territory only to have the ball go over to the home team. Rio Vista (2-4, 0-2) then drove the length of the field with Boone Hurley scoring on a short run to take the early 7-0 lead. Vacaville Christian responded with a scoring drive of its own, capped by a 19-yard quarterback sweep by Hunter Jackson. The extra point was wide right, making the score 7-6 after the first quarter. The Falcons took the lead for good in the second quarter thanks to solid work on special teams and by the defense. Tristin Creed dropped a punt near the goal line and Angelo Lugo took it out of bounds at the Rams 1-yard line. The Falcons defense then swarmed a sweep in the end zone for a safety to put VCS ahead 8-7. Dominique Ruff extended the lead to 15-7 with a 1-yard scoring run and the first of Rafael Rios’ two extra points. The lone score of the second half came on a 1-yard TD run by Bryce Pazdel with 10:28 to go in the game. Ruff paced the offense by rushing for 116 yards on 17 carries, Wesley Krier ran for 53 yards on nine carries and had two TDs called back by penalties; Pazdel had 52 yards on nine carries; and Jackson ran for for 35 yards. Defensively, Bryce Pazdel had 11 tackles, six of them solo; Zack Mercado had five solo tackles, one tackle for loss and two sacks; Noa Siaosi had four tackles, one tackle for loss, three sacks and three quarterback hurries; Jaden Beamon-Santos had six tackles, five of them solo, and one quarterback hurry; and Creed had eight tackles, six of them solo. Next week, the Falcons are scheduled to play at Highlands of North Highlands, while Rio Vista is set to travel to Golden Sierra of Garden Valley. VACAVILLE ROLLS PAST FAIRFIELD, 43-0 VACAVILLE — Deuces were wild at Zunino Stadium Friday night. Ryan Vaughan threw for two

touchdowns, Darian Leon-Guerrero ran for two more, Lucas Sartorio caught two TD passes and Anthony Wiley scored on a reception and a punt return as the Vacaville High football team cruised to a 43-0 Monticello Empire League win over Fairfield. Wiley got the first two touchdowns, starting with a 56-yard pass from Vaughan 32 seconds into the game. Just over two minutes later, Wiley returned a punt 45 yards for a TD with Gracie Caulfield kicking the first two of four extra points. Leon Guerrero rounded out the scoring in the first quarter with TD runs of 2 and 25 yards. Ariel Till booted a 37-yard goal just over a minute into the second quarter, with Vaughn throwing a 60-yard touchdown toss to Santorio, who later caught a 30-yard TD pass on Alex Barkley’s lone attempt of the game. Vaughan finished 5-of-9 for 152 yards, Leon-Guerrero ran five times for 55 yards and Aiden Roschi led all rushers with 69 yards on four attempts. Sartorio caught two passes for 90 yards, while Wiley had two receptions for 70 yards. Fairfield quarterback Corey Oram was 2-for-7 for 47 yards with one interception, while Jerome Neal ran seven times for 14 yards. The Bulldogs (4-2) are at Armijo on Friday, while Fairfield (0-5), which lost its 24th straight game, hosts Vanden.

Stanford surges to top No. 3 Oregon in OT, 31-24 Tribune Content Agency On a warm Saturday afternoon, with No. 3 Oregon in town and Stanford Stadium curiously almost half-empty, the Cardinal spent the first half stepping back in time – to the days when they routinely grappled with the Ducks for Pac-12 supremacy But Oregon awoke in the second half, shook off its early sluggishness and roared back to take the lead. And then Stanford improbably rallied for a dramatic, 31-24 overtime victory before 31,610 spectators. The Cardinal scored a game-tying touchdown on the final play of regulation and scored again on their first possession of overtime. Their

defense held and suddenly the students – after a few minutes of contemplation, as if they couldn’t quite process what they witnessed – rushed the field to celebrate. Shortly thereafter, the sounds of jubilation spilled out of Stanford’s locker room as players and coaches savored a memorable triumph. “I told the players: You don’t always get what you want,” head coach David Shaw said, “but as the Rolling Stones said, sometimes you get what you need. We needed that. We needed to be ahead and fight through adversity and find a way to win.” This marked the Cardinal’s third win over See Surges, Page B14

Transportation commander recognizes airmen U.S. Transportation Command Public Affairs SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. — The Commander of U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) met with airmen who played a critical role in the recent, historic mission to evacuate Americans and cleared Afghans and foreign nationals out of Afghanistan. At Travis Air Force Base on Sept. 23, U.S. Army Gen. Stephen R. Lyons, USTRANSCOM commander, highlighted the significant efforts that members of the 821st Contingency Response Group made in helping get more than 124,000 people out of Afghanistan. The 17-day mission, that evacuated about 7,500 civilians per day, was the largest non-combatant evacuation operation airlift in the U.S. military’s history. “The historic airlift of U.S. citizens and Afghan evacuees was a Joint Force effort, and I could not be more proud of the contingency response airmen from the 821st Contingency Response Group,” Lyons said. “They deployed within hours. They opened the airfield at Kabul (HKIA). They selflessly and courageously provided all of the necessary airfield and ground operations, and they are the reason we were able to safely execute a total of 778 flights evacuating over 124,000 people.”

Approximately 100 contingency response airmen from the 621st Contingency Response Wing ran airfield operations at HKIA after coming in aboard the first flights with paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division. The airmen of 821st CRG, which is part of the 621st CRW, serviced, unloaded, repaired and loaded 721 of the 778 aircraft that transited HKIA, servicing an average of four aircraft simultaneously. These airmen arrived at a non-functioning airfield and rapidly repaired radars, airfield lighting, refueling capabilities, ground servicing equipment and vehicles to ensure HKIA could handle operations of this scope and magnitude. During an interview at the Air Force Association Air, Space and Cyber Conference on Monday, U.S. Air Force Col. Colin McClaskey, 821st CRG deputy commander, who led the contingency response element, said his 89 airmen helped run air traffic control, aircraft loading and other operations at the Kabul airport. He also spoke about the emotional effect of the airlift operation. “These are significant, traumatic events; lives are truly impacted, [and] unfortunately, in some cases, destroyed. Our airmen, and all of our partners and allies that were there, they see that.

Staff Sgt. Dennis Hoffman/U.S. Air Force

U.S. Army Gen. Steve Lyons, United States Transportation Command commander, greets airmen of the 621st Contingency Response Wing at Travis Air Force Base, It’s very personal for them,” McClaskey said. McClaskey said commanders have offered mental health professionals and chaplains for the airmen who participated in the mission. The opening days of the airlift were marked by a perilous rush of Afghans onto the tarmac at HKIA, and according to intelligence reports, the Islamic State Khorasan (known as ISIS-K) was threatening to attack U.S. forces and those seeking airlift to safety. Amid this chaos, a C-17 with the call

sign ‘Reach 871’ departed HKIA with 823 Afghans on board. “The iconic photo of hundreds of Afghans on the floor of a C-17 illustrates the desperation, fear and uncertainty of the Afghan people, but also the lifesaving capability and compassion of our military members,” said Lyons Aug. 21, during a Pentagon press briefing. “These herculean efforts underscore the United States’ commitment to our Afghan allies and provide them an opportunity for a new beginning, a safer life, and a better future.”

Sept. 23. The airmen recently arrived back on base after deploying in support of Operation Allies Refuge in Kabul, Afghanistan. “I’ve been in for 33 years – 33 years of planning and exercising for these types of operations,” U.S. Air Force Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost, Air Mobility Command commander, said on Monday at the AFA Air, Space and Cyber Conference. “I had no doubt we’d execute, even at this scale. What blew me away was the compassion our teams gave this effort. I couldn’t be prouder of all partners and airmen, some who are still hard at work.” At the height of airlift operations out of HKIA, military aircraft were

departing the airport every 34 minutes and, in a single day, evacuated more than 21,600 people. “I’m just reminded that the United States is the only nation capable of rapidly deploying forces and providing nonstop airlift operations at this scale,” said Lyons. “My commitment is to ensure that airlift is never the constraint in this operation,” Lyons said during his Aug. 21 briefing with the Pentagon press corps. “This incredibly dedicated team of Air Force professionals is the best in the world.”

Chief Master Sgt. educates airmen Commissaries on modernizing airframe, divesting celebrate 30 years Travis Air Force Base

Senior Airman Jonathon Carnell

60th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Chief Master Sgt. Brett Prothe, Air Mobility Command refueling career field functional manager, visited Travis AFB, Sept. 21–24, to discuss with airmen the divestment plan of the KC-10 Extender and the personnel who man the aircraft. As the Air Force works toward modernizing its airframe, Prothe said it is crucial airmen understand the situation at hand. The KC-46A Pegasus is slated to arrive in Travis AFB August 2023, which is why the divestment plan for all KC-10 personnel is Prothe’s and Air Force leadership’s priority. “We will not succeed against a well-resourced and strategic competitor if we insist on keeping every legacy system we have,” said Frank Kendall, Secretary of the Air Force, in an article released Sept. 20, by Andrew Clevenger, Roll Call staff member. “Our team cannot win its one fight to deter China or Russia without the resources we need and willingness to balance risk today to avoid much greater risk in the future.” To counter adversaries, Kendall included A-10 Warthogs, the C-130 transports, KC-10 tankers and MQ-9 Reaper among those legacy systems eyed for retirement in favor of more modernized airframes. “We are an evolving force comprised of airmen who are ready for tomorrow’s fight,” Prothe said. “As the next generation of refueling aircraft begins operating

U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Brett Prothe, left, Air Mobility Command refueling career field functional manager, talks with an airman at Travis Air Force Base, Sept. 22. Prothe’s visit relayed information to airmen about the divestment plan of the KC-10 Extender and the personnel who man the aircraft. As the KC-46A Pegasus increases at Travis beginning August 2023, manning will be altered to fit the needs of the Air Force. within our inventory, we require airmen who will meet this challenge with the sort of gusto needed to remain the world’s best Air Force.” Senior Master Sgt. James Cain, 9th Air Refueling Squadron superintendent, explained the influx of the KC-46 is primed to be the culmination and testament of the professionalism and experience that has often become synonymous with the crews of the KC-10. “We stand today at the threshold of a new frontier for aviation,” Cain said. “The question, then, becomes a personal one: Do you want to be a part of it?” Cain went on to reinforce the idea of the Air Force as a unified team with a common purpose instead of a disjointed collection of rigid mindsets. “At some point in your career, either from the day you sign up or at your first reenlistment, you decide that the Air Force

U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Brett Prothe talks with aircrew from the 6th and 9th Air Refueling Squadrons at Travis Air Force Base, Sept. 22. is my career, not my AFSC,” said Cain. “I will go do what the Air Force needs me to do because I believe in what we do.” However, Cain acknowledged not everyone might not have the same view point as him. “The Air Force is big and sometimes it seems that we are just cogs in the machine,” said Cain. “If you don’t understand the vector or trajectory of the machine, ask questions. We all process information differently and it’s imperative that airmen know they are

valued. We are a team.” Cain emphasized how important that airmen know resources available to them, especially in regards to the KC-10 divestment efforts. “Whether you’re a first-term airman or a seasoned one, don’t forget about the professional and private organizations on base that allow you to grow,” said Cain. Through the Career Assistance Advisor to Airman and Family Readiness Center, there are many resources that airmen can utilize.

FORT LEE, Va. — On Oct. 1, 1991, the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) officially took over the responsibility of providing the commissary benefit to U.S. military members and their families. As the agency enters its 30th year, DeCA Director and CEO Bill Moore applauded the agency’s legacy of service. “When you think about the enormity of forming this agency you cannot escape the tremendous investment Congress made in DeCA to serve the greatest customers in the world,” Moore said. “Today, that legacy of service drives us to be the military’s grocery provider of choice, reaffirming our commitment to deliver the commissary benefit to as many eligible patrons as possible at the best possible savings directed by Congress.” The commissary benefit began in earnest in 1775 when the Continental Congress established the Office of the Commissary General of Stores and Purchases in order to provide the Continental Army with their daily rations. Officers who were put in charge of subsistence operations were called chief commissaries and their staff members consisted of assistant commissaries and commissary sergeants. In 1825, Army officers at specific posts were allowed to make purchases for their personal use, paying at-cost prices. By 1841, they were also allowed to purchase goods for their immediate families. It wasn’t until 1867, when Army enlisted men were afforded the same at-cost purchasing privileges that had already been enjoyed by officers for over 40 years. At the time, any commis-

sary warehouse on any Army post could become a sales location, regardless of whether they were located in a large city or on the frontier. Initially, commissaries were very small and customers handed a list to a clerk behind the counter who filled the list for them. By the 1930s many commissaries were being run in the same fashion as civilian grocery stores. During those days some commissaries were even offering home delivery service for families residing on post. There was a 12-item limit for home deliveries. During World War II, the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps helped to supply each of the armed services’ commissaries, and by 1948 each individual service ran its own commissaries with differing procedures and systems. The Army ran the Army Troop Support Agency (TSA), the Navy ran the Navy Resale System Support Officer (NAVRESSO), and the Air Force operated the Air Force Commissary Service (AFCOMS). In the early 1970s, the Marine Corps Services Commissary Branch would operate their stores. In 1989, after decades of separate services running commissaries, Congress directed the Department of Defense (DOD) to conduct a study of the separate military commissary systems under the leadership of Army Lt. Gen. Donald E. Jones. The ensuing report by the Jones Commission suggested consolidating the separate service systems into one agency to improve service and save money. As a result, the Defense Commissary Agency was established on May 15, 1990, by a memorandum from the Deputy See DeCA, Page B9

On Sept. 27, 1991, both the U.S. Troop Support Agency (TSA) at Fort Lee, Virginia, and the Air Force Commissary Service (AFCOMS) at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, held deactivation ceremonies. The Navy Resale Services Support Office (NAVRESSO) gave up its commissary functions and became the Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM.) Three days later on Sept. 30, the DeCA activation and building dedication ceremony took place at its new headquarters on Fort Lee – though the activation wasn’t official until Oct. 1 at which time DeCA assumed full

control of all military commissaries. The Defense Commissary Agency has served the military community through some trying times, including the worst pandemic in a century that struck in late 2019. By March of 2020, people were being ordered to quarantine at home and businesses and restaurants closed their doors. But, commissaries remained open and would eventually be designated mission-critical to DoD’s pandemic response. Early in the pandemic, shoppers rushed to their commissaries for essential items; in fact, the largest sales day in the history of the agency occurred on March 13, 2020. With the passage of time comes change. Much of what was done in 1991 has been improved over time as DeCA embraces new and emerging methods and technologies.

Giants From Page B6 replaced starter Kevin Gausman, who was dealing with hand cramping, and allowed back-to-back base hits to pinch-hitter Tommy Pham and leadoff man Trent Grisham. The Padres had their best hitters, Tatís and Machado, at the plate, but Tatís struck out before Machado tied the game for the second time with a sacrifice fly. “We felt good about Littell,” Kapler explained. “Obviously he’s been excellent for us all year, he’s gotten some big swings and misses at the top of the zone, gotten out of so many jams for us.

When San Diego manager Jayce Tingler, who is widely expected to be fired at the end of the season, brought left-hander Ross Detwiler out of the bullpen to pitch the sixth inning, Kapler countered by sending the right-handed hitting Austin Slater to the plate to pinch-hit for LaMonte Wade Jr. Wade has been the catalyst behind so many late Giants rallies this season, but Kapler has consistently substituted for him when Slater

The offense took over at its 13-yard line, trailing 24-17 with 1:59 remaining; to that point, the Cardinal had gained only 39 yards in the second half; and quarterback Tanner McKee soon came to the sideline after absorbing a painful hit to his ribs, causing him to briefly struggle breathing. Put another way: It looked bleak for the home team.

has been available off the bench this year. The 418foot solo home run Slater launched off Detwiler sent the Oracle Park crowd into a frenzy and marked the 18th pinch-hit home run hit by a Giants player this season, setting a new single-season major league record. Right-hander Joe Musgrove was excellent for San Diego in his final start of the season, but the Giants were still able to manufacture a run in the second inning as Brandon Crawford led off the frame with a double before Kris Bryant drilled a single up the middle to give San Francisco a 1-0 lead. The only other hit Musgrove allowed was a leadoff single to Darin Ruf in the fourth, but with nothing for the Padres left to achieve this season, the veteran starter was lifted after throwing 70 pitches for pinch-hitter Adam Frazier in the sixth inning. The decision to pinchhit Frazier worked in the Padres’ favor as he lined a single into left field that ignited a San Diego rally that featured a game-tying single from Machado. After Tatís blooped a two-out single over the head of second baseman Tommy La Stella, Machado ripped a fastball from Gausman into left field to even the score at 1. Gausman was brilliant the rest of the way as he walked off the mound Saturday to a standing ovation at the beginning of the eighth inning. The veteran starter ended the regular season with a 2.81 ERA over a teamhigh 33 starts and has found the dominant form he showcased throughout the first half of the year in time for the postseason. “It’s unfortunate we lost today,” Gausman said. “But we’ll win tomorrow.” McKee quickly returned and directed Stanford on an 11-play, 87-yard scoring drive. Oregon (4-1, 1-1) helped with two personal fouls, including a targeting/ejection on Kayvon Thibodeaux for the hit on McKee. The Cardinal reached the 3-yard line and stalled, but Oregon was called for defensive holding when McKee’s fourth-down pass to wide receiver John Humphreys fell incomplete. That gave Stanford one final play, from the 2-yard line and with no time on the clock. McKee connected with wide receiver Elijah Higgins for the score, and Joshua Karty’s extra point tied it at 24-24. “It’s not a designed play for anybody,” Higgins said. “But when John got the penalty, I felt Tanner was going to switch it up and come the other way. That time he went to me, and I helped him out.”
