J&J Covid booster wins backing of FDA advisory panel Tribune Content Agency Johnson & Johnson’s Covid vaccine booster gained a key recommendation from advisers to U.S. regulators that brings the additional shot a step closer to clearance.

The Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory group voted unanimously Friday in favor of recommending the booster for people 18 and older who received their initial immunization at least two months earlier.

FDA’s Vaccine and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted to back Moderna Inc.’s booster Thursday, and Pfizer Inc.’s additional shot was authorized after the panel’s

Crypto hamster shows market a little bit(coin) crazy

I’m lost and, frankly, Maybe they’ll be angry. These discussions right. History says confuse me and when I’m they won’t be. confused, I get angry.

Unless they are.

See what you’ve done?

The real problem for me is Here’s all I know: People who that people who trade in are fully into cryptocurrencies – cryptocurrencies are sure those who say it’s the wave of they’re smarter than you and the future and you’ll be sorry me, because they’ve seen the you sat this one out – will say the future and it’s . . . umm . . . well, same thing about something never mind. Because describing else in 10 years as they stack how the future looks to them

would require me to describe cryptocurrencies, which I can’t.

Back to the problem: Cryptocurrency investors are so sure they’re right that they’re smarmy about it. Which is why I’m a fan of Mr. Goxx.

Yes. Mr. Goxx.

Mr. Goxx is a hamster who has been “trading” cryptocurrencies since the start of the summer, with the help of two German guys in their 30s. Mr. Goxx lives in a cage and makes a daily decision on which cryptocurrency to invest in by a simple method: He runs on a hamster wheel until he stops and an arrow on the wheel points at a certain cryptocurrency – like on “Wheel of Fortune.” Then Mr. Goxx goes into one of two tunnels. One indicates he wants to buy, the

other to sell. (His desires may have nothing to do with economics.)

From the time he began investing in June through early this past week, Mr. Goxx’s investments had grown nearly 20% – better than the general market, better than most other platforms.

Oh, there are plenty of reasons to dismiss his success: Small sample size. Luck. The vagaries of the market. The inherent ability of hamsters to understand cryptocurrencies.

But here’s what I really know: Mr. Goxx’s success takes people like me off the hook, because he lets us sneer at slicksters who tell us the world will soon be run on cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrencies are

ridiculous. They’re a scam. And I’ll believe that until the day I’m standing outside a grocery store, asking if I can trade all my dollars for one freakacoin, only to discover that the freakacoin lost half its value in the previous day and that I still paid 10 times what it was worth.

Then I’ll use my money to start a fire to cook a hot dog I found in the gutter.

At that point, I’ll regret failing to have Mr. Goxx handle my finances.

I will also regret not hiring Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Cardano and Solana to represent me in court against a lawsuit from Big Cryptocurrency.

Marathon a celebration of life for father of hospital patient Tribune Content Agency COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jason Browning’s 10th marathon will be extra special this year.

As he lines up to run in the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon on Sunday, Browning’s running bib will have his race number, but instead of his name, it will simply say “Nora’s Dad.” And at the 7-mile marker, there will be signs bearing his 3-yearold daughter’s name as a Patient Champion.

She’s one of 24 spanning the 26.2 mile course, which will be filled with runners again this year after the 2020 marathon and 1/2 marathon were cancelled due to Covid-19 concerns.

‘We’re very fortunate to have things come out the way they did for her’ Three years ago, the little girl who today loves reading, bike rides through her Northwest Side neighborhood, and dogs – including Carmen, her family’s boxer – was born 10 weeks premature at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital.

She immediately was transferred to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where she spent 47 days in an incubator.

She weighed 2 pounds 11 ounces. On her seventh day of life, a nurse noticed she wasn’t eating properly.

Doctors said she’d need an emergency surgery to correct a malrotation of the bowel.

The procedure was successful, but a string of setbacks delayed her release.

Since then, Nora has made steady progress, and this May she officially “graduated” from the hospital’s neonatal care unit, a formality requir-

“We’re very fortunate to have things come out the way they did for her. She’s a beautiful child, she’s developing great and we know that’s not the case for a lot of the Patient Champions,” Browning said.

Columbus runners draw strength from bravery of patients at Nationwide Children’s Hospital Britta Browning, Nora’s mom, described flashbacks to the “scary days” at the hospital, bringing a car seat for the trip home only to be told that it wouldn’t be happening yet.

“It’s a little overwhelming to remember those days,” she said. The hospital is a source of hope but also a place you’d rather avoid.

The deprivations of long-distance running – including nausea, cramping, dehydration and pain – are minimal when compared to the challenges of others, especially kids, Jason Browning said.

Thinking of the others and offering high-fives to the kids along the route will offer a huge boost during the run, he said.

“It’s undoubtedly impactful to help you get through . . . especially when you need it most, toward the end,” Browning said. “That’s when you need the emotional fire and adrenaline.

If you don’t have that then, you’re relying on your physical capability and that’s usually gone by then.”

Browning is hoping for a personal record and eventually qualifying for the Boston Marathon. His fastest time yet is 3 hours 32 minutes; Boston would require him to shave off another 27 minutes.

What to know about Columbus Marathon This marathon – now being run for the 41st time – is a test of physical endurance for many, but it’s also a celebration of life, accomplishment and survival for those connected with the hospital.

More than 8,000 runners are expected to take to the streets, through a course that goes in and out of suburban neighborhoods and Downtown. Athletes will range from 12 to 91 years old.

Columbus Marathon to put emphasis on Covid-19 safety Both the hospital and the race have had endur-

ing missions – to better the lives of Ohioans and promote their health and well-being, organizers say.

With that in mind, Sunday’s event will emphasize safety, considering that Covid-19’s delta variant is still circulating. Either proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test result will be needed for athletes, event staff and vendors in the “active athlete area.”

Participants also will be pursuing fundraising goals, money that will directly help children with chronic illness, mental health needs and rare illnesses. More than $12 million has been raised for the hospital since 2012, when the partnership began. after last Even year’s cancellation, about $500,000 was still

raised for the hospital, said Darris Blackford, race director for the past 12 years.

The hospital partnership has “made it into something more community-oriented. It helped preserve the legitimacy for the event,” he said.

For all the challenges of closing streets and providing roadside and athlete assistance, “when you’re helping sick kids, it’s hard to get too upset,” Blackford said.

Since many spring races were postponed to October – including the Cincinnati and Cleveland marathons – they will take runners away from Columbus, which will have roughly half to twothirds of the 2019 event’s runners, Blackford said.

Nora Browning’s recovery an inspiration to

her parents For the Brownings, both 36, each hurdle in Nora’s recovery has been a blessing.

Jason is a building coordinator for Ohio Stadium, where he often brings Nora, who climbs the stairs and plops down in any of 100,000-plus seats.

On a recent day, Nora fixated on a large flock of pigeons swooping inside the empty stadium. From the 50-year-line, she broke away from her parents and dashed to the north end zone, then turned and darted back to midfield, laughing all the way.

Asked if he expects Nora to be a runner, Jason replied, “I think the spirit is there. We’ll have to see how it manifests itself.

She’s going to have a lot of different talents to offer.”

FAIRFIELD — The number of Solano County residents who are hospitalized Friday with Covid-19 remained relatively flat to 40, the Public Health Division reported, while the average number of daily cases continued to fall.

There were 50 hospitalized residents Wednesday afternoon, although that number was later lowered to 37. The number of residents in intensive care units remained at 10 – the same number reported Wednesday.

The county reported 75 new cases, 61 since Wednesday’s report, for an actual two-day average of 30.5 cases. The sevenday positivity testing rate dropped from 7.2% to 5.4%.

“Things continue to quiet down,” Dr. Bela Matyas said Friday in a phone interview.

The total number of cases is up to 45,110 and the number of Covid-related deaths held at 312, the

Report: Golden State in top 5 for Covid-19 safety during pandemic Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A new Wallet Hub report ranks California the third safest state during the pandemic.

The state also finished third in the death rate attributed at least in part to Covid-19, fifth in the positive testing rate, sixth in hospitalizations, ninth in vaccinations and 21st in transmission rate.

The lower the number, the better the state is doing at addressing Covid-19.

WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across five metrics.

Connecticut and Massachusetts finished first and second, respectively.

The report also noted that about 57% of the nation’s population has been fully vaccinated. The

report was also accompanied by some questions and answers.

The U.S. will lift the travel ban for vaccinated international travelers in November. How might that affect safety and our economy?

“The lifting of the travel ban on vaccinated international travelers will have a very positive impact. Since the vaccines are effective, even against Covid-19 variants, the overall safety level in the U.S. should not decrease due to the influx of travelers. Plus, many of the countries that were banned already had some of the highest vaccination rates in the world,” wrote Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst.

“Opening the U.S. to international travelers will do wonders for

the economy, too. The tourism industry has been struggling during the pandemic, and we should see a spike in revenue, which will allow the industry to expand its hiring. European tourists will have an especially big impact, as they tend to be some of the highest spenders per capita,” Gonzalez wrote.

What impact do unvaccinated people have on the economy?

“Our economic recovery will not reach its full potential until the vast majority of people who are medically able to get vaccinated do so,” Gonzalez wrote. “The more people who decline to get vaccinated, the more risk there is to public health, especially as the new delta Covid-19 variant spreads. The safety level of the country impacts the

Fairfield council to hear updates on homeless services, fire prevention K aty St. Clair

katy@dailyrepublic.com

FAIRFIELD — City Council members will once again consider plans for a possible restructuring of the city’s homeless services activities when they gather Tuesday.

The topic generated much discussion when it was presented at a previous council session.

The council will also hear an update in fire prevention activities in

the city.

Council members are also scheduled to approve or deny several Housing Authority items on the consent calendar, which has eight items related to housing, ranging from approval of consulting services, strategic plans, equipment purchasing and a five-year approval for a Community Development Block Grant program.

Items on the consent calendar are typically

handled without discussion and with a single vote.

Individual council members and city staff may pull items from the consent calendar for separate discussion and votes.

Other matters on the agenda include: n An appointment by Mayor Harry Price of a new member of the Planning Commission and administration of the oath of office.

SUISUN CITY — The City Council will contemplate a resolution Tuesday to proclaim a local emergency persists and authorize the use of remote teleconference meeting procedures by the city’s legislative bodies through Nov. 18.

If passed, the action takes effect immediately.

A number of laws have changed since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic related to the Brown Act and the use of teleconferenced public meetings.

Those laws and directives have come from Gov. Gavin Newsom through executive orders and more recently from the enactment of Assembly Bill 361, which took effect Oct. 1. allows AB 361 continued remote teleconference meetings without traditional Brown Act compliance, provided certain findings can be made related to the ongoing state of emergency and subject to adherence to certain new noticing and public participation requirements.

The Brown Act is the state open meetings law that applies to city and county governments.

The city, as all public

agencies in California, must now invoke and adhere to AB 361 and its modifications on certain elements of remote public meetings, or else revert to traditional Brown Act compliance.

The major change associated with continuing remote meetings under AB 361 is that the public must now be allowed to make comments in real-time during the public comment period, either telephonically or electronically.

No physical location for public comment need be provided.

The other major change is that all public agencies if they want to continue to conduct public meetings remotely must adopt a resolution every 30 days making the findings of necessity to do so and affirming the measures in place to allow remote public comments by the public.

Thirty days after the initial invocation of AB 361, continued reliance on AB 361 for subsequent meetings require the following: n Either the “state of emergency” must remain active or state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to See Suisun, Page A4

Solano residents take part in Walk to End Alzheimer’s K aty St. Clair

katy@dailyrepublic.com

SUISUN CITY — The Suisun Waterfront was buzzing with activity Saturday as more than 400 people arrived at the plaza for the 2021 Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

There are currently more than 650,000 people living with Alzheimer’s in California, with 6,900 people in Solano County, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Volunteers and walkers wound their way around the waterfront, clacking noisemakers, chomping on Jelly Belly candies and feeling the camaraderie that comes from a shared challenge.

On hand for the walk-athon were celebrities such as Miss Solano County, Madison Farris; Miss PreTeen California, Berlyn Sharp; and it wouldn’t be

a county event without “Very Cherry,” the Jelly Belly mascot, artfully portrayed by Abby Eisen, daughter of the event’s organizer, Carolyn Eisen.

Abby Eisen was having a few wardrobe malfunctions; mainly, her costume’s fan wasn’t giving her sufficient poofiness, but she was a great sport about it.

Volunteers from Vanden High School were having no problem blowing up things with air, however. They were on balloon duty, filling up orbs in the Alzheimer’s cause colors of purple and white.

“It’s an amazing cause to help out in,” said Bonika Gudenta, 16.

Perhaps the most moving part of the event was the Promise Flower Garden, where people put the names of people they

FAIRFIELD — Five crosswalks in the city will receive new pedestrian warning beacons in 2022 thanks to a 2017 grant of $1.35 million from the Highway Safety Improvement Program.

The intersections affected will be Travis Boulevard/ Phoenix Drive, North Texas Street/Oak Street, Pennsylvania Avenue/Empire Street, North Texas Street/Wisconsin Street, and Travis Boulevard/ Clay Street.

The Pedestrian Hybrid

Beacons are pedestrianactivated traffic signals, which under the California Vehicle Code require drivers to come to a complete stop. They differ from the current yellow flashing displays, which are intended to only warn drivers of pedestrians.

“The city places a high priority on multimodal safety for pedestrians, bikes, cars, buses, etc,” said Bill Way, Fairfield communications manager. “Any opportunity to leverage local funds to improve all safety is a benefit

FAIRFIELD — The Major Crimes and Code Enforcement units of the Police Department have collaborated to address what police describe as a growing trend in the city of illegal grow houses.

Police report a total of 9,000 marijuana plants have been seized from these grow operations in the past six months. Ten illegal grow cases were opened, seven were redtagged, six have been returned to safe residential use and four are pending inspection.

Indoor grow houses can be dangerous, according to police. There are numerous hazards, including the presence of fertilizers and other chemicals, pressured CO2 and propane cylin-

VACAVILLE — What’s perhaps the first significant Fall Harvest Festival of the season drew visitors Saturday for a day of shopping and sharing the community’s history.

The festival is a fundraiser hosted by the Vacaville Museum Guild, which helps raise money to keep the lights on and the doors open for the nonprofit community benefit organization.

Marian Chmieleski, the Vacaville Museum Guild’s past president, hosted a table of vintage Nut Tree T-shirts. They actually did come from the past – the mid-1980s to be precise.

“These are one of a kind. Once they are sold there will never be another,” Chmieleski said.

It is a walk down memory lane for some people who remember eating at the Nut Tree Restaurant or choosing the best-frosted sugar cookie at the candy store.

“This is also the first fall festival we have done on the patio outside,” Chmieleski said.

Winery, distillery project goes before commission Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing Thursday on a use permit application for a winery and distillery expansion project at Villa de Madre near Fairfield.

“The project would establish a new mediumsized winery, add a 6,000-square-foot expansion to an existing

building for a winery, distillery and tasting room, a future 6,000-squarefoot expansion to the south side of the building for equipment storage and convert an existing 12,000-square-foot building to establish a large special events facility in association with the winery,” the meeting agenda states.

“In addition, an existing 1,800-square-foot building would be removed and rebuilt.”

The 79.29-acre property is located at 4286 Suisun Valley Road, 1 mile southwest of Fairfield.

It is one of three public hearings the commission will conduct when it meets at 7 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors chamber on the first floor of the government center, 675 Texas St. in Fairfield.

ated kitchen on property located at 4211 Green Valley Road, 1 mile northwest of Fairfield.

Consideration of having the commission meetings from Oct. 21 through Nov. 20 as teleconference meetings also will be discussed.

alifornia small businesses are still reeling from the Covid-19 pandemic, but we shouldn’t be. Every day, more Americans are vaccinated and more businesses are opening up, yet small-business owners continue to suffer unnecessary hardship.

Across the country, the states that are getting back to normal the quickest are those that prioritized protecting businesses from lawsuits that could Edward Medina put them under, while they were already vulnerable from reduced business during the worst of the pandemic. The leaders of those states know that small businesses are the backbone of the economy and responsible for providing services to local communities while supporting families through good paying jobs.

In California, however, we are forced to fight two battles – fending off unfair Covid-19 pensive and dealing with changing public health guidelines. For small-business owners, this means less money to pay bills and bring employees back to work. And it could very well be the straw that breaks the backs for many businesses that have worked hard to stay open.

If this wasn’t bad enough, California already had one of the worst legal climates in the country. As a business owner, I know firsthand how tough it is to keep up with the legal loopholes and easy-to-exploit “pro-consumer” laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act standards that take advantage of well-meaning and inclusive businesses to deliver paydays to lawyers who are able to trip us up.

action, but he’s failed to do one very obvious thing that would change this fight: unequivocally support ending the filibuster.

The Jim Crow filibuster is the thing standing in the way of passing once-in-a-generation legislation like the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. If Biden actually wants the Senate to pass those bills, he needs to use his influence as president to get the Senate to abolish the filibuster.

he Covid-19 pandemic has wrought what appear to be permanent social and economic changes and nowhere is that more evident than in California.

Its disproportionate impact has laid bare, and even deepened, its socioeconomic fault lines – particularly ever-widening gaps between a mostly white and Asian overclass and a mostly Black and Latino underclass – that belie its conceits about mobility and inclusion.

Low-income workers in sectors that required physical presence, such as agriculture and logistics, ran a muchgreater risk of infection, and many of them lost their jobs Dan Walters altogether. Meanwhile, workers in jobs that could be done remotely via computer safely used home offices and saw their incomes continue.

The state’s clumsy, politics-saturated handling of public education during the pandemic left millions of poor, non-white students to largely fend for themselves while schools serving affluent communities adjusted more adroitly.

California’s endemic housing shortage worsened, driving rents and home prices ever-higher and eroding the ability of Californians to house themselves and their families.

The state is still hundreds of thousands of jobs short of returning to pre-pandemic employment levels. Our unemployment rate is one of the nation’s highest and our poverty rate, adjusted for the cost of living, is still the highest.

These disturbing trends raise a question: Has California reached a plateau and perhaps begun to decline, or is it, as Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaims, making a “comeback” of historic proportions?

A sobering poll of residents of the San Francisco Bay Area, the state’s most important economic engine, frames the issue.

Joint Venture Silicon Valley and the Bay Area News Group commissioned the poll, which found widespread dissatisfaction with the region’s economic and social life and an inclination toward going elsewhere.

The poll found that 71% of respondents feel the quality of life in the Bay Area has grown worse over the past five years. A slight majority say they are likely to leave the Bay Area in the next few years, most citing high housing and other living costs and deteriorating quality of life.

Joint Venture president Russell Hancock calls it “a smothering amount of anxiety.”

The Bay Area’s dissatisfaction and pessimism is significant because its residents are overwhelmingly blue politically in a state dominated by the Democratic Party. One would expect to feel such negative vibes in the rural counties that voted to recall Newsom last month, but finding them in the Bay Area should be a political wakeup call.

A new study by Stanford University’s Institute for Economic Policy Research should be another. It delves into the differences between California and its economic and ideological arch-rival, Texas.

The study confirms what we already assumed, that California is a high-taxing and high-spending state while taxes are much lower in Texas and so is public spending. However, while California leads Texas in some measures, such as health care coverage, it also falls short of its rival in other key indices.

Despite much-lower school spending, Texas scores better than California in K-12 academic achievement. Its standing on homelessness, and housing availability and prices is better. Texas locks up more criminals, relatively, but also has a lower violent crime rate. Its power grid is more reliable and its power costs are a fraction of California’s.

Finally, while California’s population growth has been virtually nil of late, which is why it’s losing a congressional seat, Texas continues to boom – one reason being a steady flow of transplants from California such as electric car tycoon Elon Musk – and is gaining two seats.

Whether California truly comes back from the pandemic or languishes will be revealing.

vices they want, but we can’t do that to the best of our ability with these legal hurdles.

To make matters worse, California’s legal climate actually hurts the consumers it intends to help.

When we cannot invest in our own businesses or afford to defend ourselves, prices go up for patrons, and workforces shrink. That makes for a lose-lose situation. How is this putting consumers and hardworking Californians first?

And to cap it off, California’s misguided legal climate hurts minority communities the most. Those of us whose businesses survived the pandemic are being counted on by our local communities to hire employees like other states are doing, but we cannot do so. There is a lot of talk about California being inclusive and

pro-consumer, but we are left with more unemployed minorities and struggling businesses than many other states.

It makes no sense.

Our leaders need to listen to reason and help protect hard-working Californians against damaging lawsuits. There is no justification for putting more hurdles in our path to economic recovery, especially given how tough things have been over the past year. The time is now to work hand in hand with the private sector to get more people back to work and start fixing the legal loopholes that have held us back for so long.

What’s the difference between antique and old school? Chuck Leonard, president of the Modern Muscle chapter of the Chelu Car Club, said “antique” cars are your Model-Ts and the like, while “old school” is generally from the 1950s and 1960s and probably contained many a “cruiser” driving it over the years.

In addition to gorgeous cars, the lot was filled with armored tanks, amphibious vehicles like the Gama Goat, which event organizer and museum director Geoff Lippman jokingly calls a

Doom From Page One Performance Program, has been a major priority for the White House and President Joe Biden’s goal of de-carbonizing the nation’s electric grid by 2035. He’s due to travel to Scotland for a United Nations conference starting Oct. 31 where he’ll seek to show U.S. leadership on fighting climate change.

“We don’t comment on the state of our negotiations with the wide array of senators offering views about the Build Back Better agenda,” said Vedant Patel, a White House spokesman. “The White House is laser focused on advancing the president’s climate goals and positioning the United States to meet its emission targets in a way that grows domestic industries and good jobs.”

West Virginia is a leading producer of coal, which once fueled most of the nation’s power plants

where the revenue was lost, which in the case of Solano County, is primarily in Health and Social Services.

There is not a lot of support, however, to just backfilling the county coffers with what would amount to more than a quarter of the total pot of money available.

The rest of the initial allocations are $3 million to Public Health, representing 7% of the $43 million; $4 million, or 9%, toward county administrative costs for running programs; and $6.47 million for what is termed “amount of first payment open to be allocated.” It was not immediately clear what that means.

enthusiasts will probably be equally as upset, but he pointed out that at least the tank that will flatten it is British.

When the magic hour arrived, the tank started its engine, belting exhaust like a bull about to face a toreador. It rounded the Mini Cooper and Infiniti, soon to be even more mini and, well, regulated to infinity.

Parents held their children up for a good view while others hit “record” on their cellphones. The tank approached the cars, tipped up on their bumpers and then proceeded to pancake both of them in short order.

but has lost out to natural gas and fast-growing renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.

The senator’s opposition was previously reported by the New York Times.

The White House and Democratic congressional leaders are discussing how to scale back the social-spending measure to win the votes of Manchin and another holdout Senate Democrat, Arizona’s Kyrsten Sinema.

Manchin has said he wants a top line of no more than $1.5 trillion over 10 years for the legislation, which backers initially wanted to total $3.5 trillion. Biden has said he thinks a compromise might be found around $2 trillion.

Biden, speaking at the White House Friday evening, was asked what his message would be to Manchin and Sinema.

“I’m about to deliver it,” he said. He declined to specify if that meant he’d speak to them later Friday.

“The Clean Electricity Performance Program is

a central part of President Biden’s plan to fight the climate crisis,” said Sam Ricketts, co-founder of the environmental group Evergreen Action.

“It’s the single mosteffective proposal to cut climate pollution in the Build Back Better Act.” Democrats have pointed to other climate programs in the sweeping legislative package as they seek to pass something Biden, who vowed to cuts U.S. emissions in half by the end of the decade, can take with him to the UN climate summit.

Among them are hundreds of billions in dollars in tax breaks for alternative energy and electric vehicles and a fee on methane emissions from oil and gas operations.

A plan by approved by the Senate Finance Committee that ties the value of tax credits for energy production to its carbon intensity would reduce emissions in the power sector by 73% in the next 10 years, according to the

panel’s chairman.

“While I strongly support the Clean Energy Payment Program, it’s important to note that the overwhelming majority of emissions reductions come from the energy tax overhaul in our Clean Energy for America Act,” Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, said in a statement Saturday.

“The Clean Energy for America Act is the linchpin of our climate package, and I will continue working with my colleagues to get it across the finish line,” he said.

Other climate programs Senate Democrats have eyed for the package are the elimination of tax credits for fossil fuels and a tax on carbon-dioxide emissions that could be used to offset some of the cost of a sweeping socialspending bill.

While Manchin voted with members of his party on a messaging amendment earlier this year in support of such a tax, he has since made critical comments about the fee.

for the categories of premium pay for workers, or infrastructure.

Addressing homelessness emerged as a leading priority at Thursday night’s board meeting – and specifically navigation centers in Vallejo and Fairfield – but it was hardly the only want or need to be expressed.

Board Chairman John Vasquez said only the needs should be considered.

The board meets at 9 a.m. in the first-floor chamber of the government center, 675 Texas St. in Fairfield.

One of the early

issues to be confronted is how much, if any, of the funds ultimately should go toward infrastructure – an issue that may be resolved if Congress passes the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion infrastructure plan, which would allow the county to use American Rescue Plan Act funds elsewhere.

Spering noted the need to improve the Green Valley water system, saying that parts of the system are likely to fail, which could affect residents’ access to water and the ability to fight fires.

Firefighting infrastructure in other

areas of the county also was mentioned.

The state has promised billions for broadband improvement and expansion, another area that has been touched on for American Rescue Plan Act funding, but has not been at the top of anyone’s list.

Supervisor Erin Hannigan said she does not support any American Rescue Plan Act funds going toward infrastructure, preferring that this one-time money be used on broader social needs, and to find other sources to use for infrastructure.

Except for $250,000 that went to the Solano County Superior Court’s Legal Access Center, none of the funds have been specifically allocated.

The county has until Dec. 31, 2024, to obligate the funds, and all dollars must be spent by the end of 2026.

but decided not to consider that question.

Seen as a convenient, effective alternative to two-shot messenger RNA vaccines, J&J’s singleshot immunization has seen far less use in the U.S. The vaccine has demonstrated less efficacy than Moderna and Pfizer products, and has been linked to rare episodes of a rare clotting disorder.

The panel’s consideration of J&J’s vaccine represents “a public health imperative,” said Arnold Monto, a University of Michigan professor of public health and epidemiology, who serves as acting chair. “What we’re

seeing is that this is a group with overall lower efficacy than we have seen with the mRNA vaccines. So there is some urgency here to do something.”

Now it’s up to the Food and Drug Administration to decide whether to authorize it. The agency isn’t required follow the panel’s recommendation, but it often does.

Then the baton will be passed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisers, who are scheduled to meet Oct. 20 and 21. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices could then make a recommendation

on boosters from both Moderna and J&J. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky would then make a final decision on the agency’s recommendation.

Both the FDA and CDC and have been somewhat at odds with their vaccine advisers on boosters. The FDA revised and narrowed a suggested recommendation for Pfizer’s booster after its advisers voted it down. Walensky overruled her advisers who also suggested a narrower recommendation for use of the booster, drawing questions about whether she had been influenced by political pressure.

Armijo puts up fight before falling to Wood, 27-14 Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — To the surprise of everyone but the Armijo High football team, the Royals played playoff contender Will C. Wood to a 0-0 tie in the first half Friday night at Brownlee Field.

Armijo didn’t have enough horses to stay with the Wildcats in the second half, however, but still gave the large homecoming crowd plenty to cheer about in Wood’s

27-14 Monticello Empire League victory.

The Royals (1-7, 0-3 MEL) simply had no answer for Jayjay Olaes, who was responsible for all the scoring done by Wood (6-2, 2-1). The 5-foot-8, 180-pound senior rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns on 33 bruising carries and caught three passes for 62 yards and another TD. Krisha Clay added conversions after the first three scores.

when Vacaville led the Royals 35-0 after the first quarter in an eventual 49-0 victory.

“I think we panicked a little bit,” Wood coach Jacob Wright said. “No disrespect to Armijo, but we really felt like we were going to be up, and when we weren’t, we panicked and we got really tight.

And then we were looking at the scoreboard, like, ’Why aren’t we up big?’

And I think that affected a little bit the way we were playing. We just had to

Ken Tilford was also a big factor, rushing for 107 yards and several key fourth quarter first downs on 14 carries while completing 10-of-17 passes for 114 yards.

But Armijo’s defense made things tough for Tilford early as Dameion Regalado picked off a pass at the Royals 1-yard line on Wood’s first possession and Ziair McElvaine intercepted a pass in the end zone to end the second possession. That was a far cry from the week before

“They fought hard the first half, we fought hard, too,” Royals coach Don Mosley said. “They understand it’s not the same (Armijo team). I’m pretty sure they were having fits with what was going on. ‘Armijo ain’t looking the same, how are they giving us these fits?’ When they go back and look at the film tonight or tomorrow, whenever they look at it, they’re going to know, ‘Hey this team’s

coming with it.’”

It took two possessions into the second half for Wood to get on the scoreboard as Olaes capped a seven-play, 66-yard drive by going 5 yards up the middle with 5:32 to go in the third quarter.

The second TD came on the first play of the fourth quarter with Olaes taking a screen pass 26 yards to the end zone on a third-and-15 play.

VACAVILLE — A scoreless second half did in Vanden High School’s football team Friday night as host Vacaville showed its championship mettle with a 35-17 win over the Vikings at Tom Zunino Stadium.

Vanden was right there toe-for-toe with Vacaville and trailed 28-17 at halftime but missed opportunities piled up like their own penalties. Vacaville was able to dial up the defensive pressure and Vikings quarterback Tre Dimes was running for his life.

“We as coaches didn’t do our job and those mistakes get magnified in big games. We just have to do better and get better for

next week.”

Vacaville grabbed the inside track to the Monticello Empire League title.

The Bulldogs improved to 6-2 overall and 3-0 in

the MEL. Vanden came in unbeaten in league play as well but fell to 6-2 overall and 2-1 in league. Two games remain for both teams in the regular season and both will likely earn playoff dates.

Vanden was penalized 13 times for a total of 104 yards. The Vikings still had an opportunity to stay in the game when they drove down to the 1-yard line with 6:49 left in the third quarter. They were down 35-17 but a high snap sailed over Dimes’ head on fourth down and the Bulldogs took possession.

In 50 years, here’s how Giants’ season (and loss to Dodgers) will be remembered K erry Crowley MERCURY NEWS

F

ifty years from now, Giants fans who were alive to witness the 2021 season will have two lasting memories.

107 wins and a heartbreak against the Dodgers.

The loss the Giants experienced Thursday, a 2-1 defeat that featured a go-ahead ninth-inning RBI from Cody Bellinger, will go down as one of the most painful in the history of the franchise.

It’s not just that one of the Dodgers’ worst hitters this year beat their closer for the game-winning hit. It’s not just that Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores had the bat taken out of his hands with a brutal call on a check swing attempt to end the game. It’s not just that the offense couldn’t deliver for starter Logan Webb or that the Giants failed to put the NLDS away in Los Angeles after taking a

ANALYSIS 2-1 series lead.

There’s a long list of reasons why a season-ending defeat to a rival will sting for years to come. At the top is that after a magical, unsuspecting ride to the top of the National League West, the Giants and their fans truly believed the 2021 club was a team of destiny.

How else was a season that began with the Giants projected to win anywhere from 72-to-77 games and ended with a stunning triumph on the final day of the 162-game schedule supposed to finish?

This is the franchise that turned a 92-win season in 2010 into the first World Series trophy the Giants had hoisted since the club moved west from New York in 1958. It’s the franchise that shocked the Detroit Tigers with a four-game sweep to cap a second title in three seasons.

It’s the franchise that watched the

bullpen door swing open in Kansas City so homegrown ace Madison Bumgarner could author the greatest postseason performance of his era en route to a third championship in five years.

The franchise of Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Orlando Cepeda has never hurt for star power, but for more than 60 years in San Francisco, it ached for a trophy. What the likes of Juan Marichal, Will Clark and Barry Bonds couldn’t bring to the city, Buster Posey finally did.

And Posey, whose career will be defined not by counting stats but by World Series rings, gave the Giants every reason to believe he would soon be fitted for another.

After all, the Falcons and Mustangs have both finished either first or second in the Bay Valley Conference each of the last four full seasons.

That’s why Solano (12-11, 5-0) rallying to win 21-25, 25-17, 25-15, 25-12 on the road Friday was such a big deal – but not the only deal.

“It was a big win, LMC is always a solid team,” Williams said. “We have a tough opponent on Monday. Yuba College (4-0), and the only other team in the BVC that is undefeated with us.”

Chris Rigney Cruz was a force at the net with seven blocks and seven kills; Sammy Brown led the offense with 15 kills, added 24 digs and served 16-of-16 with two aces; Dani Rydjord followed suit with 12 kills, serving 17-19 with four aces; Mylei Moli chipped in seven kills and four blocks; Kailyn Kaiser led the way on defense

with 31 digs, serving 14-of-15; Crystal Carroll added double digits in digs at 12; Anaya Rodriguez served 16-of-18 with one ace and distributed 22 assists; Jeryn Baldonado added 14 assists, serving 12-of-13 with two aces; and Bryanna Lott added two blocks and two digs.

“We got off to a slow start and LMC was ready to play,” Williams said.

“The second, third and fourth sets we played more consistent and with some better defense.”

What was learned about W’s during an undefeated preseason Connor Letourneau

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

n the afterglow of a 5-0 preseason Friday night, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr pondered an enviable issue: He has too many good players.

“The way it’s going to play out, it’s a little bit like my first year (in 2014-15) when we kind of coined the term, ‘Strength in Numbers,’” Kerr said. “We were going back and forth between ( Leandro Barbosa) and Shaun Livingston at times. We just have a lot of guys who can play. It’s a good problem to have.”

Such a statement speaks to the Warriors’ successful exhibition slate. Little more than two weeks after Golden State opened training camp with plenty of uncertainty, it can take comfort knowing it has at least nine legitimate rotation players. And that’s not including injured Klay Thompson and James Wiseman – both of whom could be back by December or January.

ANALYSIS With only a couple of days until Tuesday night’s regular-season opener against the Lakers, here is a look at the Warriors’ biggest takeaways from training camp: Jordan Poole could be a breakout star: At the start of training camp, one of the biggest questions facing the Warriors was who would start at shooting guard until Thompson returns from a torn Achilles tendon. Now, after a preseason in which Poole averaged nearly as many points (21.8) as minutes (22.7), Golden State decision-makers might wonder why that spot was even in doubt.

Poole exorcised the memory of a rough rookie year by emerging as a key rotation player toward the end of last season. Fresh off another productive summer, he appears ready to go from helpful cog to bona fide difference-maker. Gone See W’s, Page A11

Louisville to retire Lamar Jackson’s No. 8 jersey: ‘I feel like I won a Heisman again’ Tribune Content Agency Louisville will retire Lamar Jackson’s No. 8 jersey next month, the school announced Saturday.

Jackson, the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner, will be honored during the Cardinals’ Nov. 13 game against Syracuse. He’ll join Johnny Unitas, another Cardinals quar-

terback who starred in Baltimore, as the only players in school history to have had their numbers retired.

“This made my day,” he said after the school surprised him with a video announcement.

“I feel like I won a Heisman again.”

As a sophomore, Jackson became the youngest player ever

and the first in school history to win the prestigious award, given to college football’s top player. He set Atlantic Coast Conference records for rushing yards by a quarterback (1,571) and rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (21) and passed for 3,543 yards, 30 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

After arriving at Louisville as an overlooked recruit, Jackson finished his career with 9,043 passing yards, 69 passing touchdowns, 4,132 rushing yards and 50 rushing touchdowns.

The Ravens took him No. 32 overall in the 2018 NFL draft, and he went on to be named NFL Most Valuable Player a year later.

are the extra dribbles and questionable shots that plagued Poole early in his NBA career. With the help of assistant coaches Ron Adams and Chris DeMarco, Poole played with high-level purpose in the preseason, wasting no movement as he attacked closeouts or hoisted jumpers.

In the five exhibition games, he was the Warriors’ second-leading scorer behind Stephen Curry as he shot 50.6% from the field, 36.4% from 3-point range and 86.7% from the foul line. This all should make Kerr feel much better about the fact that Thompson will probably miss at least a third of the season. At 22, Poole is well-positioned to become a franchise building block.

Curry is poised for another MVP bid: One prerequisite to all Warriors conversations is that Curry must play at an MVP level for the team to contend for much of anything. In just four preseason games, he showed that, at 33, he is still one of the league’s most dominant players.

Curry averaged more points (24.5) than minutes (22.8) as he delivered a steady stream of absurd highlights. Even though it was the preseason, Warriors fans couldn’t help but serenade him with “M-V-P” chants on multiple occasions.

Curry’s longtime trainer, Brandon Payne, told The Chronicle last season that his prized client has yet to reach the peak of his abilities. In making that claim, Payne cited metrics that suggest Curry is still getting faster and stronger. That’s a scary thought for the rest of the league. But based off Curry’s preseason performance, Payne might be right.

Bulldogs: Last MEL unbeaten From Page A10 on both ends,” Vacaville head coach Mike Papadopoulos said. “We made the adjustments we needed to do. That was very much a championship atmosphere and I’m very happy with the way our guys performed.”

Vacaville set the tone early as quarterback Ryan Vaughan raced 37 yards for a touchdown on the second play from scrimmage.

Vaughan had touchdown passes of 64 yards to Timothy Plowman and 59 yards to Darian Leon-Guerrero in the first half.

Leon-Guerrero added a 3-yard touchdown run later in the second quarter for the halftime lead.

He was on the receiving end of a 35-yard touchdown pass from Vaughan to complete the Bulldogs scoring in the third quarter. Micah Navarro tacked on five extrapoint attempts.

Vanden got a break after Vacaville’s first touchdown. The Vikings lined up to punt and Devin

Martin was able to fall on a fumble on a muffed punt return. Six plays later, Diego Nunez-Smith converted a 22-yard field goal.

Dimes hit Jamai East with an 11-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. Sean Davis raced 21 yards in the second quarter for a score.

Nunez-Smith added both extra points.

Dimes finished 9-of-23 for 187 yards with one touchdown and an interception. Vanden didn’t get much going on the ground and Davis was the leading rusher with six carries for 38 yards.

Brayden Chavez led the team with three catches for 52 yards.

Martin had the fumble recovery and a pass deflection for the Vikings’ defense.

Abraham Sanders recorded the Vikings’ lone sack and Eric Diez also had a fumble recovery.

Vaughan delivered much of Vacaville’s offensive production.

He rushed for 87 yards on 15 carries with a touchdown.

Vaughan

also was 9-of-17 for 230 yards passing with three touchdowns.

Leon-Guerrero rushed 14 times for 89 yards and had a rushing touchdown. Both of his receptions resulted in touchdowns and he finished with 94 yards.

Vacaville recorded six sacks: Caleb Borchers picked up two of them. Liam Flaherty, Eric Gladney, Dylan Chloe and Luke Levengood also had quarterback sacks.

Anthony Wiley picked off a pass.

Vacaville won the junior varsity game 15-12, handing Vanden its first loss of the season.

Bulldogs quarterback Brody Fortunati had touchdown passes to Christian Diosdado and Nick Rustak.

Chris Clark raced 90 yards with a kickoff return for the Vikings.

TK Carradine also had a 2-yard touchdown run.

Both teams are 7-1 overall.

Vacaville improved to 3-0 in the MEL and Vanden fell to 2-1.

son was better than advertised: Many pundits were underwhelmed by Golden State’s offseason acquisitions, in part because general manager Bob Myers didn’t use the team’s $5.9 million taxpayer mid-level exception. But is it possible people were being a bit unfair? Otto Porter Jr., whom the Warriors signed to a veteran-minimum deal worth $2.4 million, is a mid-level-caliber talent who spurned bigger offers to join Golden State.

In the preseason, Porter shot 55.2% from 3-point range on nearly six attempts per game, played versatile defense and rebounded at a high rate. Nemanja Bjelica, who also signed a veteranminimum deal with the Warriors, was plenty helpful as well. The power forward shot 44.4% from beyond the arc, set timely screens and played sound defense.

The extra room to operate provided by Porter and Bjelica was a big reason Poole and Curry looked in midseason form. Even forward Andre Iguodala, whose offseason signing

was widely considered more about nostalgia than basketball, looks like a solid addition. Though well past his prime at age 37, he was a steadying force in the preseason and ranked second on the team in assists (3.8) and fourth in minutes (19.1).

Andrew Wiggins needs to prove his preseason was an aberration: In the lead-up to the preseason, Wiggins’ reluctance to get vaccinated – and the on-court repercussions such a stance could present – was a national story line. But once Wiggins got vaccinated before the preseason opener, he disappeared from the conversation, in part because he was somewhat of a non-factor on the court.

In four games, he averaged just 9.2 points on 35.1% shooting (22.2% from 3-point range), 4.2 rebounds and 2 assists in 18.9 minutes. For long stretches, Wiggins appeared to go through the motions, jogging downcourt and missing defensive reads.

It was concerning, given that the Warriors are banking on him to

rechannel his two-way dynamism this season.

With Thompson sidelined for at least another couple of months, Wiggins must be a worthy No. 2 or No. 3 scoring option, a perimeter stopper and an on-court mentor to younger teammates.

The Warriors have a legitimate shot at title contention: Wiggins’ struggles aside, Golden State must feel good about where it stands entering Tuesday’s nationally televised opener against the Lakers in Los Angeles. It is already moving the ball better than it did last season.

And with Poole looking like a reliable fill-in for Thompson, the Warriors could be toward the top of the Western Conference standings once Thompson and Wiseman return.

If that happens, Golden State might have as good a shot as anyone at a Finals run. All the other teams projected to contend in the West – Utah, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, the Lakers, the Clippers – have significant question marks.

When Giants turn to 2022, they’ll let Logan Webb lead the way K erry Crowley THE MERCURY NEWS

SAN FRANCISCO — For a Giants team that saw its 107-win dream season come to an end in heartbreaking fashion on Thursday at Oracle Park, it’s too soon to turn the page.

Manager Gabe Kapler acknowledged that frustration and disappointment were still fresh following a controversial ending in which first base umpire Gabe Morales mistakenly ruled first baseman Wilmer Flores had failed to check his swing on a two-strike offering from Dodgers pitcher Max Scherzer.

The emotions the Giants felt from Thursday’s defeat were still very raw in the hours after a Game 5 NLDS defeat to the Dodgers, but at some point, members of the organization are going to look toward 2022 and build off the foundation that was laid during a remarkably successful year.

When that time comes, the Giants will build around Logan Webb.

“I think he proved he’s a guy you can build a staff around,” catcher Buster Posey said. “He enjoys being the guy in a big situation and ultimately those are the guys that can bring four other starters together and really elevate their game as well.”

With seven innings of one-run ball in the Giants’ winner-takeall matchup with the Dodgers, Webb continued to establish himself as one of the sport’s emerging stars. His three-pitch mix – a sinker, slider and changeup – from a low three-quarters release proved practically unhittable for any Dodgers player not named Mookie Betts as Webb followed his brilliant performance in Game 1 with another outstanding effort.

“This is just so good from @LoganWebb1053,” former major league starter Brandon McCar-

Game 5 of the National League Division Series at Oracle Park, Thursday, in San Francisco.

thy tweeted. “This style had been totally out of favor and barely taught for a few years and he’s perfected it looking like vintage Jake Peavy. So impressive.”

In each of Webb’s final three starts, the 24-yearold right-hander from Rocklin, Calif. was pitching the biggest game of his life. On the final day of the regular season, the Giants handed Webb the ball with a chance to clinch a National League West title against the Padres and he aced the test. Last Friday, Webb drew the Game 1 assignment against the Dodgers and tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings while racking up 10 strikeouts. On Thursday, he became the youngest Giants pitcher to ever start a winner-take-all game and captivated a national audience with the type of performance rarely seen against a loaded Dodgers lineup.

“At every stage you’re asking yourself, is Logan Webb the best option to

tweeted. “His arsenal of pitches will be able to get outs forever. Movement and pitchability are more important than velocity. . . especially over the course of an entire career. Bet heavy on Webb!”

With fewer than 250 career regular season innings under his belt, Webb’s major league journey is only beginning. The franchise that produced Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum and Madison Bumgarner has struggled for the last decade to draft and develop the next homegrown ace, but Webb’s end-of-season showings has left the organization

get the next three hitters out?” Kapler said. “And every inning that we sent him out there we felt like, yes, yes and yes, he just continued to be the best option.”

Right-hander Kevin Gausman was named an All-Star and was clearly the ace of the Giants’ staff through the first half of the season, but it’s a credit to Webb’s development that he ended the year with the club expecting to have the ball in his hands in the most important games of the season.

convinced the torch has been passed.

A Giants front office led by Farhan Zaidi will spend much of the offseason rebuilding the team’s pitching staff and determining the best ways to add more depth to a starting rotation that could lose Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood and Johnny Cueto to free agency, but given Webb’s efforts, there’s no need to look for the type of pitcher who can take the ball on Opening Day and set the tone for a staff over the course of a season.

They’ve got their man in Logan Webb. It’s his rotation now.

Giants From Page A10 highest mark since he finished his 2012 MVP season with a .957 OPS. He led the Giants with help from his longest-tenured teammates and close friends, Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt, who each forced the baseball industry to rethink what players who are supposed to be nearing the end of their careers are capable of when given the chance to continue developing.

Crawford should finish as a top-five NL MVP vote-getter for the first time in his career while Belt launched a careerhigh 29 home runs and was robbed of a chance to help the Giants in the NLDS by a fractured thumb suffered on a late-September hit-by-pitch.

It was only two years ago that it seemed the trio would struggle to make it to the end of their contacts, but under manager Gabe Kapler and a cutting-edge coaching staff, the Giants’ most respected veterans in the clubhouse reestablished themselves as the team’s most respected players on the field.

That Posey, Crawford and Belt were able to lead the Giants to a record-setting season was also the result of a remarkable effort from a front office See Giants, Page A13

Wood: Shakes off frustrating first half From Page A10 to roll over.

Kaiba Washington took the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, adding a 2-point conversion on a pass from quarterback Eddie Concepcion to make it 14-8.

The scoring was far from over. The Wildcats marched 81 yards on 11 plays, converting three times on third down on runs by Tilford, with Olaes finishing it off with a 45-yard dash with 6:01 left in the game.

Armijo again responded, this time going 73 yards on four plays, the final 36 yards a pass from Concepcion to Regalado in the end zone with 4:02 remaining, a

fumble on the two-point conversion try keeping the score 21-14.

The Royals then forced Wood to punt, but a pass to a wide open Guy Fortson was underthrown as Concepcion was running for his life and a long completion to Cesar Torres inside the Wildcats’ 10 was wiped out by a holding penalty. Armijo eventually turned it over on downs as Armaan Nagra sacked Concepcion for a 7-yard loss on fourth down.

It took just two plays for the Wildcats to ice the victory, both runs by Olaes, the latter going 43 yards up the middle with 1:38 left.

his team’s effort, Mosley said, “Just our fight, the resolve we showed.

Like, ‘We’re not giving up.’ It’s no more rollover, there’s no more, ‘Hey, if we jump on them they’ll stop.’ You’re going to jump on us? We’re going to jump on you. And we’re going to keep coming and coming.”

The Wildcats finished with 432 total yards, 318 of it rushing.

The Royals wound up with 154 total yards, 83 of it on the ground, four second-half sacks of Concepcion accounting for lost yardage.

Wood won the JV game 30-0.

“They were bringing a lot of pressure, coming hard off the ball. And we were able to connect on some plays, and then we were able to get against their pressure with some screen passes and stuff, and kind of settle down, stop looking for the home run, the big score, and just start working down the field.”

That’s how a team that wasn’t supposed to be in the Dodgers’ weight class had its rivals backed against the ropes, fighting for a chance to survive.

And to be sure it wasn’t a lucky punch, the Giants proved their might on the field with 12 head-to-head victories in the 24 games they played against the Dodgers this year.

“The guild does such a magnificent job taking care of all of this,” said Jean Cox, president of the Board of Trustees for the Vacaville Museum. “We couldn’t function without the guild.”

FAIRFIELD — Danielle Morris Tate has left her husband of five months in Southern California and moved home with her parents.

With her husband’s blessing.

Morris Tate is one of the phantoms in Missouri Street Theatre’s “The Rocky Horror Show,” which opens Friday.

She met the show’s choreographer, Kevin Gruwell, several years ago.

Gruwell has encouraged Morris Tate over the years to be part of the traditional Halloween show, only to have other things scheduled.

This time, her answer was yes.

When Covid-19 hit, Morris Tate said she really missed theater.

“When you take that (performing) away, the more you want to perform,” she said.

That she does along with her sister, Reanna Morris Wicke, who wed recently and is also staying with Mom and Dad to be in the cast.

This is the first time in more than a decade the sisters will share a stage.

Morris Tate has known a couple of fellow dancers in the cast since she was 14 or 15. She said she’s pleased to be sharing the stage with people she has known half her life.

“There’s nothing like it,” Morris Tate said of “The Rocky Horror Show.”

“The dancing in the show is totally crazy. We are constantly moving.”

This is Morris Tate’s ninth show with Missouri Street Theatre. She

came on board with the now-defunct Fairfield Civic Theatre.

“Little Women,” “Pippin” and “Brigadoon” are just a few of the shows in which she’s appeared.

Morris Tate arrived here in mid-September and will stay until midNovember when she wraps up working with Missouri Street Theatre’s youth production of “Madagascar Jr.” “Rocky is not a dance show,” was her first reaction to Gruwell’s choreography – and she loves it.

Morris Tate is not a fan of the 1975 film that launched the “Rocky Horror” franchise.

“I like the production of ‘The Rocky Horror Show,’ ” she said.

When she returns home, Morris Tate, who had been working in the veterinary field, may set her sights on opening a guide dog or rescue sanctuary.

“There’s really a lot of emotion in the veterinarian field,” she said.

Her husband was 100% behind her decision to return home for a few months. He compared it to his asking to play one last football game with his

friends, Morris Tate said.

Juliet Farnsworth-Perry is making her Missouri Street Theatre debut.

She co-owns and operates Farnsworth Dance Academy with her mother, Carla Farnsworth.

When she saw a Facebook post from Gruwell seeking dancers, she sent him a text saying she was available.

“Don’t kid around,” was his response.

“The Rocky Horror Show” is her first time on stage in six years.

“I’ve been putting on shows or being a stage manager,” FarnsworthPerry said.

Being in the cast has renewed her passion for performing, she said.

Dancing seemed a natural choice as her mother has performed on Broadway in “Chicago,” “Oklahoma” and “Funny Girl,” to name a few. She also danced live at the 1981 Grammys during Irene Cara’s performance of “Fame.”

Farnsworth-Perry took to dancing when she was about 3½. She began to take it seriously a few years later, she said.

She lived in Los Angeles and dealt with a lot of injuries, which made her a little hesitant to join the dancedriven show.

“I’m wearing a knee brace, an arm brace and a back brace in rehearsal,” she said.

She takes care of herself and advises other dancers to do the right thing.

SUISUN VALLEY — An invitation to sing with the band at a Halloween party in the early 2000s solidified the lineup for Cut Loose.

Guitarist Jack Collins had launched the band, under a different name, in the early 1990s to showcase the tunes he wrote.

Hillary Lee stayed on with the group after the Halloween party. It was six or seven years later before she was officially a band member.

Not only is she a band member, Lee, who is married to musician Johnny Wah Wah of the Fender Benders, also handles a variety of tasks for the band, including bookings and social media.

“Clint, you’re sideways.”

“Well, I either have to be sideways or upside down. What’s better?”

“Sideways,” says Ron Howard, steady helmsman of about 30 features and documentaries. Brother Clint Howard, five years his junior and proud owner of more than 250 acting credits, nods with something like satisfaction. His image on the screen remains sideways, and his older sibling allows the slightest of smiling head shakes – a silent “That’s my brother.”

In tank top and wildish white hair, Clint looks in character for a movie located deep in the woods of North Carolina, but he’s in the state for an “Andy Griffith Show” fan event (Ron, of course, played young Opie on that ’60s hit, while Clint had a beloved recurring role as Leon, the kid cowboy armed with a sandwich). During a Zoom interview, Ron talks more than Clint, is more functionally illuminated and moves less.

Gravity-defying Clint is side-lighted by a window, somewhat deferential to big brother but more animated and quick to guffaw.

The brothers had runs of acting success as kids, Ron on “Andy Griffith” and others and Clint all over, including as the non-ursine star of “Gentle Ben.” After starring in “Happy Days,” grownup Ron directed such films as “Apollo 13” and “A Beautiful Mind,” winning Oscars for directing and producing the latter. Clint became one of the more recognizable character faces in movies and on TV shows such as “Star Trek” and “Mod Squad.”

Now they’re in their 60s and have together written a book of the Howards: “The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family,” about their experiences growing up in the business and coming See Howard, Page B3

movie Review

‘Halloween Kills’ a gruesome waste of Curtis’ time and yours Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune

O

Haddonfield! My Haddonfield! Why, in the name of fictitious Illinois towns, have you resorted to hapless mob violence, like the pitchfork crowd in “Frankenstein” or the January Sixers that came along after “Halloween Kills” was filmed?

And why is “Halloween Kills” such a drag, as well as a clear step down from director and co-writer David Gordon Green’s 2018 “Halloween” reboot?

Three years ago, that reboot made for a pretty good, hugely profitable reminder that Jamie Lee Curtis can open a movie, and serial killer Michael Meyers can still clog up a small town’s drainage system with the blood of his victims. The new movie picks up right after teenage babysitter-turned-crazed-survivalist grandmother Laurie Strode (Curtis); her daughter Karen (Judy Greer); and her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) stabbed, burned and dispatched Haddonfield’s masked nemesis for good/ whoops/not dead yet. The movie served as a solid showcase for Curtis, and it delivered in its climax, even if wobbled some en route.

The new film’s a comparative mess – jaded, structurally awkward and overpacked. Myers lives, of course, being the very quintessence of evil. The “Halloween Kills” script from Green, Danny McBride and Scott Teems stops dead periodically for gabby, mistimed speeches about how Myers has transformed Haddonfield’s residents into a See Waste, Page B3

In brief Howard Survey: ‘Jeopardy’ most recognized theme song

FAIRFIELD — The search for a permanent “Jeopardy” host continues, but at least one thing will always stay the same: the theme song.

To see what theme songs Americans recognize the most, DirecTV asked 2,200 to name a show theme song with a 10-second clip.

Almost three-fourths of Americans surveyed knew the theme song for “The Simpsons,” “Friends” and “Seinfeld” after listening to just the first 10 seconds.

Seventy-six percent recognized the “Jeopardy” tune.

“Bones” fans seemed to be in hiding – only 22% correctly guessed this theme song.

Despite the massive success of “Game of Thrones,” 42% of respondents matched this theme song incorrectly.

Ron had been approached over the years by publishers seeking an autobiography, but he hadn’t wanted to do it. He says frequent collaborator Tom Hanks, a published author himself, told him: “‘You probably should, but focus entirely on your childhood. That’s what everybody’s curious about.’ And he was right.”

The brothers have been asked all their lives about growing up in the business, but it took a major life milestone to spur them to finally put it all down.

“When our father passed away” in 2017, said Ron, “he was the second of our parents to pass; we had that experience of suddenly being grown men who were orphans.

Preparing the memorial for Dad entailed a lot of looking back, which is not something I think either Clint or I particularly do a lot of.” He adds that “Da Vinci Code” author Dan Brown (whose Robert Langdon novels have been made into hit movies

by Howard and Hanks) urged him to write the memoir jointly with Clint.

Clint says, “The way the book lays out is very much the rhythm of Ron and I’s relationship. Ron is an awesome, awesome big brother. And yet we share 180-degree shifts in attitudes and perceptions about things.

He was the first kid. He was a lot more sheltered than I was.”

“Halloween Kills” links back to flashbacks (newly created) to the events of Halloween, 1963, as well as the 1978 events of the John Carpenter original, in addition to somewhat awkward “previously in Haddonfield” snippets from the 2018 outing.

Lee has a wild wedding story that was a perfect fit for “Punk’d.”

Cut Loose and the Fender Benders were playing a gig at Vino Godfather Winery in Vallejo when, about halfway through, an Elvis impersonator drove up in a Cadillac and married Lee and Wah Wah on the spot.

It was witnessed by 350 to 400 people. A few people were let in on the plans prior to the wedding.

Cut Loose returns to play Oct. 24 at the New Stage at the Pioneer Tap Room.

“We are so excited,” Lee said. “We have not played up this way since the pandemic.”

The band has done a few shows at Vino Godfather and some of their fans traveled to Vallejo.

Lee expects to see even more in Suisun Valley.

brother for his “half-ass jump shot” (Ron coached Clint’s youth basketball team, leading them to a championship) and recalls how he demanded profit-sharing and other perks when acting in Ron’s earliest short films.

Ron says, “Clint came out of the womb with a sense of humor, a raised eyebrow, a skeptic’s view.

He’s an extrovert. I’ve always been impressed with his wit and his confidence, the way he faces the world. I’ve always been more cautious. Some of that probably came from my early years as a child actor, where I felt like I didn’t quite fit in, like I was ‘other.’ I felt that in a way that Clint never seemed to or bend to.”

Ron was a first-grader when he was cast on “Andy Griffith” in 1960; he was in eighth grade when it ended. When they weren’t at a oneroom studio school, he and Clint attended a string of Burbank public schools rather than highfalutin private ones; their parents held the bulk of their earnings in trust rather than indulging in a fancy Hollywood lifestyle.

That also meant, however, that his celebrity status had its ups and downs.

“I watched Ron navigate being ‘Opie-shamed’ and picked on,” says Clint.

One of the more surprising nuggets in the book is that Ron – frozen in the public consciousness as squeaky-clean TV nice characters – got in plenty of fights as a kid, facing down bullies looking to take Opie down a peg, sometimes on his front lawn as his parents looked on. “I had a huge advantage of having Ron to be

Much of the film takes place in the world’s most poorly supervised hospital, where seriously injured Laurie and Officer Hawkins (Will Patton) share some old, bad memories of what happened that night in ’78.

“The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family,” by Ron and Clint Howard. the wonderful example.”

Ron says, “[Clint’s boldness] was from my mom’s side of the family; she was gregarious, she was energetic, she was funny. She was fearless. Dad’s side of the family was more cautious. . . . I mean, Dad had big dreams.”

The book has its share of showbiz reminiscences: Tales of Burt Lancaster showing up at a production’s motel to carry on a long-running affair; Harrison Ford and Paul Le Mat bombing poor “Opie” with beer bottles in a motel parking lot during the making of “American Graffiti”; Bob Gibson and Bart Starr appearing on “Gentle Ben.” The volume and olfactory signatures of the sweat of some of young Ron’s adult costars are among the more vivid recollections.

But more than anything, “The Boys” is about how their father, Rance Howard, and mother, Jean Speegle Howard, shaped them and their careers. Jean gave up her acting dreams early on in service of the

family; Rance pursued his until the end while mentoring their sons in the business. Ron says the brothers’ “survival” through the perils of Hollywood (including Clint’s struggles with addiction, described in the book) had “everything to do with our upbringing and the kind of offbeat parental sensibility that affected us in such a powerful way.”

In exploring that, the titular boys came to better understand their parents.

“Something I learned from [working on] the book: Our parents, they were eccentrics. They were outliers,” says Ron. “They came from the Midwest [Oklahoma], and if you met them, you’d say, ‘Salt-of-the-earth Americana stands before you.’

But the reality was, what middle-of-the-road Middle American kid thinks, ‘I’ll just leave and go to New York or L.A.’?

And they did that.

“They were too adventurous for Oklahoma and a little too cornpone for Hollywood.

They were ‘sophisticated hicks’ – my mom came up with that one.”

A lot of actors would love to have Rance Howard’s career – close to 300 film and TV credits, plus some screenwriting along the way – but the book’s portrait of him professionally is of a constant scrapper: A working man struggling through long, painful dry stretches.

All along, his sons’ view of him as a loving, pragmatic guide stays steady.

When very young Ron reads some, ahem, colorful (American) graffiti in the toilet stalls on the “Andy Griffith” set

and asks his dad about it, Rance explains it in matter-of-fact detail.

Likewise, the veteran performer coached his sons on their scenes not as if they were child actors but just actors: He didn’t teach them to play cute for the camera but to listen and respond. He took them to movies such as “The Wild Bunch” in their youth.

“And on the other side,” says Clint, “Ron and I both love Mom dearly. But we both have regrets, that we probably picked on her a little too much. In fact, I know we picked on her too much.

We mention it in the book: Mom had her issues; Mom was probably OCD. Yet she was such a dynamic woman. . . . Dad would never have been Dad without Mom.” “Working on the book, it was equally important to recognize the foibles and the actual heroism of our parents.

Our story is kind of a survival story. The system sets kids up to fail,” Ron says of Hollywood’s longestablished appetite for a kind of hermetically sealed cuteness that turns to ash – along with job opportunities – for child actors as they commit the sin of growing up.

“We could have failed spectacularly. Arguably, should have,” he adds. “I began to recognize the great fortune but also a handful of turning points where things could have gone in a very different direction for me. With help from my parents and great fortune and some of my own personal tenacity, it sort of added up to a better outcome than I could have dreamed.”

Testing Covid vaccine? Fighting cancer?

This 6-year-old does both Tribune Content Agency SAN DIEGO — Imagine surviving two brain cancer surgeries and more than 30 radiation treatments only to end up getting Covid-19.

It was a very real worry for Shawn and Mariel Mahoney, whose 6-yearold daughter, Layla, received a very difficult diagnosis this summer at a time when no coronavirus vaccines have yet been approved for anyone younger than age 12.

Selected over the summer to be among 60 local kids to participate in an ongoing clinical trial of the Moderna vaccine in kids ages 6 to 11, the firstgrader nearly missed out.

As her father explained on a recent afternoon, a confirmed cancer diagnosis would have been reason enough for his daughter to have been denied entry into the trial. But, when the first vaccination appointment arrived on Aug. 20, the diagnosis still had not been confirmed. St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Tennessee had not yet verified an initial diagnosis from Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego.

Doctors went ahead and pushed the plunger on that first shot, only for Shawn Mahoney to receive a call from a St. Jude’s specialist 10 minutes into the ride home.

“She was supposed to call me an hour earlier but something delayed her,” Mahoney said. “It was just made to be.”

Layla did not have much reaction to that first dose, and her parents worried that she might have been among the 25 percent of trial participants assigned saline injections, making her part of the placebo group rather than among the 75 percent who receive the vaccine.

But a second shot several weeks later left them celebrating a daughter who suddenly became exhausted and started running a fever.

Those are the wellknown minor side effects, they well knew, of a person’s immune system reacting to a vaccine.

“She was like, ‘it’s really cold in here,’ and I was like ‘yes!’ ” Mahoney said. “Terrible parents, so happy to have our kid have a low-grade fever.”

Knowing that his daughter is likely headed for a round of chemotherapy this winter, and also understanding that

Six-year-old Layla sits with her father Shawn Mahoney in Carlsbad, Oct. 4. Layla is one of 60 children in San Diego to be part of the clinical trial for the Moderna vaccine. those drugs are known to weaken the immune system, the very good chance that her body will already know how to protect itself from coronavirus, he said, provides a precious peace of mind.

The alternative was almost too difficult to consider.

“The thought was ‘great, we beat cancer, but Covid killed us because we’re immunocompromised and we’re essentially the same as an 85-year-old unvaccinated person at that point,” Mahoney said.

Dr. Ezra Cohen, a medical oncologist and associate director of translational science at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, agreed. Though the amount of protection that the immune system can provide during chemotherapy treatment is highly variable, the specialist said vaccination before chemo does give the body a better fighting chance if coronavirus does come calling.

For Layla, who just started school, talking about her latest pumpkin arts and crafts project or about any sort of animal, but especially about the habits of her family’s dogs and cats, trumps any discussion of her vaccination experience so far.

Bright-eyed with a full head of hair despite undergoing two craniotomies over the summer, her assessment of coronavirus vaccination comes down to the fact that it involved needles, both for the shot and – especially disappointing – for the six vials of blood that had to be drawn.

“The first time, they had to pin me down,” she said solemnly.

Getting to be among the first kids to be vacci-

nated? That, she said, feels “actually, pretty good.”

Needles notwithstanding, she would, she said, recommend it to other kids “so they don’t get their germies.”

Still, as conversation topics go, she’d much rather focus on making sure that people out there know not to let their dogs eat chocolate.

There was no room for much more than pain on Aug. 1 when her parents frantically took her to Rady, screaming, vomiting and demanding help.

A surgical team removed a large and rare tumor called an anaplastic supratentorial ependymoma on Aug. 2 then had to go back in at the end of the month when the aggressive growth reappeared on

looking at the data, looking at the actual meat and potatoes of this not, you know, someone created a website or a Youtube video that states whatever it is,” Mahoney said. “That’s not where you need to be looking.”

That reading, though, only went so far. After all, he is an expert on filming sharks without becoming lunch, not virology, microbiology or chemistry.

Having medical professionals in his family, he said, made it relatively easy to make a few calls and get some feedback on how he should interpret what he had read. Most, he said, were jealous of Layla’s opportunity.

“The medical community is, you know, a dial-a-friend kind of thing, and there were probably a dozen medical professionals that said that they would have absolutely no hesitation putting their kids through it,” Mahoney said.

Should the FDA grant Pfizer’s request this fall or winter, current Moderna trial participants will be told whether or not they received a placebo, allowing those who didn’t end up getting vaccinated to disenroll if they wish.

Presently that information remains undisclosed due to strict “blinding” rules designed to avoid research bias.

Layla’s grandmother has created a gofundme fundraiser for expenses and to support related charities.

Today, she is undergoing follow-up proton radiation therapy, which she has been able to handle without sedation, as a precautionary measure to keep the malignancy from returning. Chemo will provide yet another layer of insurance against recurrence. few Thankfully, parents will experience the cancer part of Layla’s journey. This particular kind of tumor is estimated to cause only about 200 cases per year nationwide.

But, with Pfizer submitting its coronavirus vaccine for approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency use in kids this week, many families

will soon have to decide whether to get their children vaccinated.

Given that some adults still avoid getting their Covid shots, the coming debate around vaccinating children is sure to be extensive.

Many will no doubt be looking to do their homework, a desire that Shawn Mahoney understands all too well, having just gone through that process.

The decision to enroll Layla in the Moderna trial, he said, did not come lightly.

Though his gut reaction was no way, go experiment on somebody else’s kid, the underwater videographer and director couldn’t stop himself from delving deeper. He looked first at the results from Moderna’s study of its vaccine in kids age 12 to 17. The methods seemed rigorous and the numbers being tested seemed large.

Though there were plenty of Youtube videos out there claiming the vaccine is dangerous, those claims didn’t seem to be borne out by the numbers.

“The number of people having severe side effects was very, very low,” he said.

His focus remained squarely on primary sources, largely the peerreviewed studies of trial results rather than on websites giving their opinions about what those results mean.

Murray Bass Plan to live

Faith plays key role in staying active

T

he title of this column might be, “Different strokes for different folks.” I am certainly “different.”

For some reason, friends have been encouraging me to relax and just enjoy life.

I have been asking myself, “Where do I enjoy life and living?”

I already spend a lot of time resting and doing nothing – not by choice.

Here are the things that I enjoy, that give me pleasure.

I love the companionship of others – at meals or meetings, or even on the phone. There is no fun at all (for me) in being alone. I have embraced Christ’s last command to his Apostles to “Love one another as I have loved you.”

Next, I find great pleasure in playing life’s games and winning. It’s a personal thing.

Over the years I have taken on the challenges of making life possible and better anywhere I can. I like finding ways to win when people say it isn’t possible. That doesn’t involve sitting back and enjoying life by doing nothing.

I love to win whatever I try when it benefits others.

I spent some time the other day with Dr. D., David Danzeisen. I think of him first as a dear friend, a friend who just happens to be my doctor. The test results were all very good.

Right now, I admit that I feel a sense of urgency because I’m approaching the end of my life. I want to finish the projects I have begun. I want to win before the end.

I find good feelings in the knowledge that my good friends love me and want me to enjoy life. I couldn’t ask for much more.

I feel good so I plan to spend this weekend trying to develop my Alzheimer’s cure project. The project has raised about $30,000 in one month.

It’s a start toward the $30 million I want to raise.

I will reach out to national organizations and ask them to pass my message on to their members or employees.

My approach is to get my message into the hands and hearts of every American.

Nearly every American family has experienced the pain and suffering of Alzheimer’s, with family or close friends.

I started out with just an idea. I am finding that God is helping me find what is possible. I have given myself a year; more if needed. I have faith we will win this battle. I’ll keep you posted.

Now, on to a different subject. I would like to be read by more folks than locals. This is especially true of my opinions on patriotism and love of country. I am asking my attorney friend to see what would be involved in copyrighting my work so that I can distribute it nationally. I’m looking for ideas and help.

I am certain that my views on original intent, citizen responsibility and pride in being an American, would find a home in many hearts. As you can see, I love my country. I strongly believe we need to step up and defend her.

These physical therapists have a new approach for

strengthening the core

Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — Anyone who has been near a gym in the last decade has heard the buzz about strengthening “the core” – muscles in the trunk and abdomen that can be targeted with crunches, planks, and other gut-busting exertions.

Yet for all the attention devoted to this crossroads of the human body, it remains a common site of injury for amateur and professional athletes alike.

Physical therapists Brian Catania and Travis Ross think many athletes are missing a key part of the picture: rotation.

That’s because the core includes wide swaths of muscle that stretch diagonally across the body, from the thigh on one side to the ribs on the other, say the duo, who work at ChristianaCare Rehabilitation Services in Newark, Del. Straight-line planks and sit-ups are fine, but those exercises may not engage a series of smaller muscles that connect the core’s opposite ends, leaving the body vulnerable to injury when it twists or changes direction.

That idea is not new, but Catania and Ross have developed a novel, six-step screening technique to tell whether these connectors are weak or inactive.

They also have designed seven targeted exercises to correct any deficiencies, described in the May issue of the Journal of Sport Rehabilitation.

Others in the field think the Delaware pair are on to something. Trainers from two teams in the National Football League – the Los Angeles Rams and the Baltimore Ravens – met with Catania and Ross for handson instruction after they spoke at a league symposium this year, and the Rams have now incorporated the strategy into their official regimen.

And surgeon William C. Meyers, a prominent core-injury specialist at the Vincera Institute in Philadelphia’s Navy Yard, gave the concept a thumbs-up.

“Those are great exercises,” he said, after seeing a description in the study. “They’re really working on the rotational muscles as much as anything.

And they’re working on muscles as a group.”

Future study will examine how much the approach reduces the risk of injury. But so far, evidence suggests that it helps, and not just in the abdomen and trunk.

The University of Delaware men’s lacrosse team reported fewer hip and hamstring injuries after adopting an early version of the Catania-Ross program several years ago.

And elsewhere, other researchers have reported lower injury rates after prescribing exercises that target some of the same core muscles. In Japan,

TNS

Physical therapist Travis Ross guides Steve Peterson through the side high plank windmill, an exercise to strengthen the lateral core muscles at ChristianaCare Rehabilitation Services in Newark, Del. soccer players who “primed” certain core muscles with exercise were less likely to sprain their ankles. In Australia, football players who targeted muscles along either side of the spine, called the multifidus, experienced lower rates of groin and leg injury.

It makes sense, Ross said.

“The more stable we are in the core,” he said, “the better off we are downstream.”

He and Catania demonstrated their approach recently on Steve Peterson, a Newark, Del., man who places more demands on his core than most.

At 64, Peterson has spent decades playing the sport of ultimate (as in Frisbee, though that’s not part of the official name). He has been a member of national and world championship teams in various age groups – lunging, twisting, and diving in the dirt.

“I have never restrained myself,” he said.

That has meant a medical textbook’s worth of injury over the years. But lately, by focusing more on his core, he thinks he has kept the damage to a minimum.

At the ChristianaCare physical therapy center, Peterson lay on a padded table as Ross and Catania tested core muscle groups known as “slings.” They tested six slings in all: three sets of two, counting the left and right sides.

First, came the anterior obliques, which stretch from the lower left trunk to the inner right thigh, and vice versa.

Lying on his left side, Peterson drew his right knee up to his chest while keeping his left leg outstretched against the padded surface. He lifted the left leg off the table as Ross pushed back.

At the same time, the physical therapist placed his hand on Peterson’s rib cage, and felt a

slight swelling.

That was a good sign, showing that Peterson was engaging his rib muscles as he lifted the leg, instead of asking his leg to do all the work.

Then came similar tests for left and right slings called the posterior obliques, and two other sets of muscles called the lateral slings.

In the lateral test, Catania determined that Peterson was not fully engaging certain rib muscles, likely placing too much strain on his hip flexors and knees.

“That is a compensation,” Catania said.

He told Peterson to perform two corrective exercises: the side-lying skater and the side high plank windmill. They are a bit tricky to describe, but briefly, the skater involves lying on one side and making a “push off” motion like an ice skater with your top leg. The windmill involves propping yourself up sideways on one arm, and rotating the other arm in a manner that resembles a windmill.

Of the seven core exercises that Catania and Ross prescribe for their patients, most are variations on moves that have been around for years, though one – the “lounge and pound” – is Ross’ invention.

In the study, the therapists and their coauthors used ultrasound scans to confirm that the exercises engaged the connector muscles in question – including the same ones that other researchers tested in the Australian football players: the multifidus.

Exercises that rotate the spine have been a source of controversy among athletic trainers, with some arguing that the lumbar spine – the five vertebrae centered on the belly button – can be harmed

in the process. Catania and Ross say their regimen is carefully designed to rotate muscles higher in the torso, along the thoracic vertebrae and rib cage, while the lumbar spine remains in a relatively neutral position.

After hearing the duo present their approach at an NFL symposium, the L.A. Rams have incorporated it into their injuryprevention program, according to a team statement provided by ChristianaCare.

Jon Hernandez, an assistant athletic trainer for the Rams, called it “an extremely effective approach that is based off of sound reasoning and practical application.”

Catania and Ross hope that pro teams in other sports may find it useful, as well.

One possibility is baseball.

This year on the Phillies alone, those with core injuries included slugger Rhys Hoskins (abdomen and groin) and pitchers Connor Brogdon (groin) and Archie Bradley (oblique muscles).

Peterson, bruised and battered after years of playing ultimate, is a convert.

His lowest moment came at a tournament in 2004, when he landed on his lower back, injuring his tailbone. He came back from that injury, but he now realizes that in the recovery process, he failed to maintain his core. That set the stage for more problems, including a ruptured Achilles tendon in April 2008.

He now swears by the seven core exercises from Catania and Ross.

“It worked on me, let me tell you,” he said. “I was a broken dude.”

In November, he is playing in the “legends” division at an ultimate tournament called the Sarasota Sunset. By engaging his core before match, he expects to lunge and twist once again.

Americans eat 50% more salt than recommended Tribune Content Agency It’s no secret the U.S. depends on processed, packaged foods; they are convenient and affordable.

But these foods are also the source of 70% of sodium in Americans’ diets, the majority of which comes from salt added during the manufacturing and commercial food preparation process.

Now, federal health officials have proposed new, and entirely optional, guidelines for the food industry to lower salt concentrations in an attempt to slow the “growing epidemic of preventable, diet-related” diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. Such health consequences disproportionately affect communities of color, kill thousands of people, and cost billions in yearly health care.

In a “final guidance” issued Oct. 13, the U.S. Food and

Drug Administration recommends about a 12% reduction in sodium intake over 2.5 years.

That will take the average American salt consumption from 3,400 milligrams per day to 3,000 milligrams per day.

Still, that target is much higher than the recommended limit of 2,300 milligrams per day for people ages 14 and older. The FDA said “even these modest reductions made slowly over the next few years will substantially decrease diet-related diseases.”

The new guidance applies to 163 categories of food, including meats, cheeses, frozen foods, breads, several sauces and bakery products, made by food manufacturers, chain restaurants and food service operators.

The FDA notes similar “voluntary and gradual approaches” have been successful in Canada and the U.K. “This iterative approach will help support gradual reduc-

tions in sodium levels broadly across the food supply so that consumers’ tastes adjust, health outcomes improve and no one company or category of food is singled out or scrutinized,” the FDA said in a news release.

“In the future, we plan to issue revised, subsequent targets to further lower the sodium content incrementally and continue to help reduce sodium intake.”

Studies have shown Americans consume 50% more sodium than recommended, and more than 95% of kids between ages 2 and 13 surpass recommended salt intake limits for their age.

The American Heart Association said it “applauds the FDA’s new voluntary guidance,” but that lowering sodium intake to 3,000 milligrams per day “is not enough.”

Dropping targets to the actual recommended amount per the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Ser-

vices could prevent an estimated 450,000 heart disease diagnoses and save $40 billion in health care costs over two decades.

“While educating the public about the consequences of consuming too much sodium is a valuable tool, it is not enough to truly impact consumers’ health due to the high amount of sodium in the food supply,” the group said in a news release. “The adoption of these targets will be a crucial step in helping countless people across the country decrease their sodium intake.”

The FDA first proposed sodium recommendations in 2016, which some companies have already taken into consideration by reducing sodium content in their products. It’s “encouraging, but additional support across all types of foods to help consumers meet recommended sodium limits is needed.”

Fire Prevention Week is an opportunity for local fire departments to spread knowledge to the community on fire safety.

This year’s safety message is “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety,” which aims to educate the community at Travis Air Force Base the different sounds smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make whether they be a testing and low battery notification or an evacuation alarm.

“Forty-one percent of house fire deaths can be linked back to no or faulty detectors,” said Staff Sgt. Peter Kuykendall, 60th Civil Engineer Squadron fire inspector. “The detectors are designed to detect a fire and signal the alarm with enough time to get people outside their home.”

Kuykendall said having the correct detectors in a home can be the difference between

life and death.

House fires killed more than 2,770 people in the United States in 2019, according to the National Fire Protection Association.

“Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires by half,” said Master Sgt. Jerry Vega, 60th Civil Engineer Squadron assistant chief of fire prevention. “Residents should be sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the alarms and knows how to respond.”

Vega encourages residents to practice their escape plan.

“Residents who have practiced an escape plan are more likely to survive a home fire,” said Vega.

“Make sure your alarms meet the needs of all your family members, including those with physical disabilities.”

Across the U.S., fire departments have responded to 339,500 house fires, said Vega.

First responders are dedicated to reducing the occurrence of house fires and house fire injuries through education on prevention and protective measures.

60th AES airman assists during in-flight emergency Airman 1st Class Alexander Merchak 60th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the captain has turned off the fasten seat belt sign – one of the many phrases heard often by frequent airline passengers.

Words passengers don’t expect to hear, especially when yelled by another passenger, are: “That’s a lot of blood!”

Those were the words yelled as flight attendants tried to stop the nose bleed of another passenger. Thankfully, Tech.

Sgt. Patrick Moore, 60th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron aeromedical technician and paramedic, was aboard the flight.

“When I got to the passenger, I noticed there wasn’t a severe amount of blood, but for a nose bleed, it was significant,” said Moore.

Moore’s training instinctively took over and he acted quickly by clamping her nose and proceeded to ask her general questions.

Any history of high blood pressure? Any circulation issues? Do you have any sinus issues, deviated septal issues? Did you have any problems with the turbulence, any increase with the sinus or headache?

“This is very similar to the training we do in flight,” said Senior Master Sgt. Chuck Lane, 60th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron superintendent and Moore’s leadership.

“We have scenarios exactly like that, where you have someone with a severe nose bleed and

That’s where the mission medical clinical coordinator measures the capacity in which a team is able to help a patient out.”

The news that Moore was involved with helping a civilian in need on a commercial flight was no surprise to Lane.

“Being that he is one of four paramedics in the squadron and one of the mission medical coordinators, he’s done those training scenarios and has been on the other end as a crew member. There was no surprise to me that he jumped in right away and helped that passenger out on that American Airlines flight,” Lane said.

All medical personnel are required to have basic life support or basic lifesaving skills.

“You could be walking

down the street and see someone fall to the ground grabbing their chest and, in that moment, you should know what to do and be able to give CPR at the most basic level,” Moore said.

Moore emphasized the importance of maintaining readiness, especially in the Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron. He explained that the squadron’s mission is to fly the wounded warrior out of harm’s way at a moment’s notice.

“Mission readiness is one of those things we harp on here at the 60th AES; frequently we will have missions drop at 12 to 14 hours notice,” said Moore. “In terms of personal skills, it can’t be said enough to be familiar to know your most basic level of training.”

Travis AFB volunteer helps amid Covid, receives award Staff Sgt. Christian Conrad 60th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Rosemary Ingram, a volunteer with the Retiree Activities Office at Travis Air Force Base, was recognized as the 2020 Air Force Volunteer of the Year on Oct. 6.

Ingram, whose support of Covid-19 mitigation efforts contributed to her winning the award, has a storied history of helping base residents.

“I’ve done a lot of the work with the Patient and Family Advisory Council in recent years, helping patients communicate directly with medical staff to share their concerns and suggestions,” Ingram said. “I was a teacher and principal in the private sector, so when I retired, I felt it was important to leverage my skills to give back and help others – it’s almost an obligation in that sense.”

Despite the accolades heaped upon Ingram, she’s quick to share the praise with those who volunteer alongside her.

“I’d be remiss not to mention the help and leadership we receive from our director, Jerry Edmonds, as well,” she

said. “So much of what we do starts with our leadership staff.”

Deserving as she was for the reward, that didn’t keep Ingram from being shocked by the announcement.

“I was gobsmacked,” she said. “At first, I was shocked just to be chosen out of the many wonderful volunteers we have in our office, but when our chief said, ‘Well, no, this is actually a bit bigger than just our office,’ I was really taken aback. It’s an honor, truly.”

Amid the many endeavors and initiatives she’s taken on – even with her award still clutched in her arms – Ingram’s word of advice for aspiring volunteers is a surprisingly simple one: “Just come out.”

“There’s no shortage of help to be given,” she said. “The one thing we require from our volunteers is just that singular drive to help others. Everything else, we’ll handle. All the training, all the skills that may be needed – we can teach you. All you need to do is just show up.”

For information on how to volunteer with the Retiree Activities Office, call 424-3904 or send an email rto aotravis@yahoo.com.

Any hurt partner should know the truth. It actually saved our marriage and our family. — Grieving Loved Ones and Lies Dear Grieving: Thank you for sharing your letter. So many people feel trapped in narcissistic relationships and need to hear that there is a way out of them and a path to freedom. It’s great that you acknowledged all

the people who helped you along the way. Congratulations.

Dear Annie: I’m here to offer the European perspective on tipping.

In Europe, there is no tipping. People are paid much better wages to begin with, so they know how much money they will earn and can budget accordingly. The price paid is higher over there so the workers don’t have to rely on tips.

Did you know that tipping in the United States actually dates back to slavery? I have read that the feudal system of aristocrats helping the poor – the idea of noblesse oblige – has been described as the origin

of tipping.

When restaurants were hiring newly freed slaves after the Civil War, they hired them as tipped workers so they could pay them next to nothing.

The United States needs to do away with this practice like the Europeans have. — Offering a Tip Dear Tip: Thank you for offering a history lesson and your perspective on tipping. I am curious to hear what other readers have to say, especially those whose primary income comes from receiving tips.

Today’s birthday A birthday boon comes in the form of an exciting offer. Whether you take it or not, you will be changed for the better by it. The weeks to come feature free-flowing communication and bonding with your favorite people. You protect and care for your loved ones who, in turn, include you among their favorite and most trusted. Leo and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 44, 32, 29 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s early in the game, but the little wins and losses along the way will still make a difference to your end result. What matters more than any single move is your determination to see this through.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To get things done your way at the price you’d prefer would be wonderful, but it’s not in the offering. The good news is that the compromise that is in the offering will be better in the end anyway.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Today plays out a lot like your usual day, only happier. There’s no single reason for this uptick in mood. The best part about it is that feeling this way will lead to more of the same. Lucky you!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The good thing about restlessness is its indiscriminate impetus to move. It comes with a feeling that anywhere is better than here; this makes the decision easier. Just go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be a safe place for someone to land, a confidante, a defender, a reliable agent of justice and more. You’ll embody the noble characteristics that will come to define you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The difference between a loan and a gift is one should be repaid literally and the other should be repaid indirectly. In this light, you’d rather deal in loans. The expectations, being clear-cut, are more easily fulfilled.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As an exciting person, you realized long ago that if you’re bored with your work, the product of that work will be boring.

Spicing it up for you brings excitement to the world!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Enjoy the lightness of being that comes with the day. You approach your work with a smile, and your responsibilities seem like a privilege. You are freed from the need to win love or gain approval.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Everyone likes to be right. However, you prefer to do it quietly today so as not to attract challengers, competition, controversy, jealousy or anything else that comes with being in the power position.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The magician’s secret is to control the focus of others and do hidden work while people are focused elsewhere.

You’ll follow the principle today, working behind the scenes to make something wonderful happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If, at the end of the day, you can say that you helped someone make progress, lessened their load or lightened their mood, you will count this as a great day. Doing those things forwards every goal you have.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll go forward in another mode that’s not better or worse, just different. You’re like James Bond at the mountain’s edge, ditching the snowmobile to grab onto the rope ladder of a helicopter.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Grammy Award-winner Eminem was initially rejected by fellow rappers, adding fuel to his drive and forming a style that catapulted him to the top of the music charts. Discord is highly upsetting to Libras, who thrive in harmonious conditions. In the case of a difficult domestic scene and hard living conditions, Libra’s saving grace is the ability to turn the problems into artistic expression.

It’s the shock that can save a life

If you recognize signs of sudden cardiac arrest, you need to act quickly.

Sally Wyatt

Y

Special to the daily republic

ou walk past them in movie theaters, school gymnasiums and even the hallway at your work, and you probably don’t even notice them. These wall-mounted boxes aren’t very big but they are vitally important to saving a life.

These red or white boxes – usually found in public places – are marked with large AED letters and a heartshaped image crossed by a lightning bolt. They contain an automated external defibrillator, and if someone is experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest event, knowing the closest location of one of these boxes can mean the difference between life and death.

Now is a good time to become more aware of these boxes, as October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the United States, taking the lives of more than 350,000 people each year, according to the Sudden Cardiac Awareness Foundation. Anyone can experience a sudden cardiac arrest, including infants, children, teens, young adults and people in their 30s and 40s who have no sign of heart disease, as well as more mature adults.

Sudden cardiac arrest is caused by a problem with the electrical system of the heart. When the heart isn’t receiving enough oxygen or becomes injured, it stops effectively pumping blood to the brain and other vital organs. When

this happens, brain damage begins to occur after four to six minutes without oxygen. And brain death can occur after 10 minutes.

Because most out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen inside the home or at a public place, according to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation, bystanders remain the key to survival by providing early CPR and early AED use.

“An AED is a type of computerized defibrillator that automatically analyzes the heart rhythm in people who are experiencing cardiac arrest,” according to Dr. Blake Cleveland, an emergency medicine physician at NorthBay Healthcare. “When used, it delivers an electrical shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm.”

And, know that anyone can use the AED, because they’ve been designed to be simple and user-friendly, even for bystanders who haven’t received training.

If you recognize signs of sudden cardiac arrest (e.g. sudden collapse, loss of consciousness, no signs of breathing), you need to act quickly. To help in a sudden cardiac arrest emergency, follow these steps: n Call 911. Direct bystanders to call for help and send someone to get a nearby AED. n Use the AED as soon as it arrives on scene. n The sooner an AED shock is administered, the better chance of surviving cardiac arrest. n Begin CPR. Push hard and fast on the center of the chest. n CPR will help supply oxygen-

ated blood to the brain and vital organs, which will buy additional time for an AED to be used. n Turn on the AED. Depending on the model, this may involve pushing a button, lifting the unit’s lid or pulling the handle. n Follow the AED prompts. The AED will walk you through how to apply the pads, and will direct you to stop compressions when it’s ready to run its assessment. n Clear the victim and provide a shock. The AED will direct you to deliver a shock if it’s needed. Quickly look up and down the victim to ensure no one is touching him/her. Then, loudly say “Clear” before pressing the shock button. n Resume compressions. Continue to follow the AED prompts. The AED will assess the victim’s heart rhythm every two minutes.

Untrained and trained bystanders may feel nervous or reluctant to push the shock button when directed, but rest assured that the AED won’t shock a person whose heart isn’t in a shockable rhythm, even if the shock button is pushed.

October might also be a good time to consider getting certified in CPR, AED and first aid, so you can gain the confidence to respond to an emergency.

In the meantime, “keep an eye out when you’re shopping or at a store for the nearest AED,” Cleveland advises.

Triad Development Inc. co-founder Fred Grimm raises a toast during the launch of the Lagoon Valley development, Wednesday.

Developer, city celebrate new place in Lagoon Valley to

‘live, work and play’ been a very long journey.

I told someone I thought this project started when I was back in high school.

It’s been a long trip but we are excited.”

The plan is to build in five phases over five years.

Large earth movers from Ghilotti Construction were already busy scraping the land as the celebration was taking place.

“I’ve heard all the skeptics but here we are,” said Vacaville City Manager Aaron Busch.

“We are grateful to Triad and the folks at the city.

There are many exciting elements that will blend with the existing open space. It’s a very pristine area and it’s going to be 100% environmentally friendly. We have set the bar high in this day of conservation.”

Triad Development Inc., co-founded in 1984 in Seattle by Frederick W. Grimm, is a diversified real estate development company with properties throughout the country

and offices in Washington and Northern California. Curt Johansen, Trian Lagoon Valley’s development director, called this project a “true labor of love.”

Painstaking effort has been taken to preserve the popular open space and make a new community that fits in with that dream, Johansen said.

“It offers a job-work balance with extensive open space,” Johansen said. “We tried to design a place where people could work, live and plan and Lagoon Valley allows that. That’s hard to do.”

The vision for the project began many years ago and has often been put on hold – until now.

It took much planning for the city and Triad to devise a plan that worked to both of their benefits, and to the many residents who love the regional park.

“Here’s a toast to the people who will work, live and play here, to the good citizens of Vacav-

ille and to future people that will live here in Lagoon Valley,” Triad CEO Grimm told the assembled celebrants, hoisting a glass. “The families that have been a part of Lagoon Valley were important to what has been developed here.

Most of the open space is still open.”

The golf course has been in the works for a long time. Rowlett made a point to mention it as “desperately needed” after Green Tree Golf Course was permanently shuttered in 2016.

PGA legend Tom Kite visited Lagoon Valley many years ago and came up with a plan for a course. His routing is being used today.

Johansen said no decision has been made on distance, designer or if it will be public, private or a combination of the two.

But Triad has built many courses, including the Arnold Palmer-designed Hiddenbrooke Golf Club in Vallejo.

The many bike and hiking trails will also remain. The event center is expected to have a swimming pool and tennis courts.

“It’s a very diversified project and has something for everyone,” Busch said. “That’s a tribute to everyone who has worked on this project. It’s been 20 years.

Some people started their careers working on this project and some have finished their careers on it to get to this point.”

in-store or online purchases of TVs; gaming consoles; computers; electronic accessories; jewelry and watches; appliances; lawn and garden items; sunglasses; and more for as little as 2% of the price of the protected item.

For electronics that connect to Wi-Fi, the Exchange Protection Plans also come with 24/7 tech support to assist with new device setup, smart home setup, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, settings optimization and more.

For shoppers purchasing Apple computers, smartphones, tablets, TVs, watches and more, there’s AppleCare+ protection to cover screen damage, theft, batteries and more. Because Apple

makes the hardware, the operating system and many applications, Apple products are integrated systems.

AppleCare+ provides service and support from the people who know Apple products best, allowing shoppers to receive one-stop service and support from Apple experts, with most issues being resolved in a single call.

“It matters where you shop, and the Exchange Protection Plans and AppleCare+ are two ways the Exchange helps the Travis Air Force Base community get the most value from their shopping experience,” Travis Exchange General Manager Phonda Bishop said in a press release.

“Buying a big-ticket item

is an investment, and these plans help shoppers protect that investment.”

The Exchange Protection Plans come in varying lengths, from one year to lifetime warranties, depending on the item.

Online shoppers, including honorably discharged veterans who have verified their eligibility to use their lifelong benefit at ShopMyExchange.com, can add protection plans or AppleCare+ during checkout. In-store shoppers, including veterans with service-connected disabilities and Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians, can speak with a Travis Exchange associate at checkout to add a plan.

VACAVILLE — Triad Lagoon Valley and the city of Vacaville celebrated the start this week of a 2,400-acre project that offers what they believe will be a special community to “live, work and play.”

There are plans for 1,015 homes of all kinds – large units to smaller affordable housing – over 200 of the acres. There are also improvements to the current 400-acre Lagoon Valley Regional Park, which is promised to remain intact.

The site is south of the lake between Lagoon Valley Road and Nelson Road. It will be built well off Interstate 80 with open space remaining out front as a buffer between the freeway and the community.

Some 750,000 square feet will be available for business opportunities, where the city hopes to recruit companies like biotech manufacturers.

Vacaville has already become a bit of a biotech hub with giant Genentech established here and another major one in Agenus on the way.

There is also plans for an 18 hole golf course, an organic farm, event center, a community village, a new fire station and wetlands preserve.

“We made it,” Vacaville Mayor Ron Rowlett told the assembled dignitaries Wednesday. “It’s

FAIRFIELD — A contracting firm is expanding its presence in Solano County, purchasing a 41,812-square-foot building on Courage Drive in Fairfield and has created 15 new jobs.

Bay Area Underpinning Inc. used Small Business Administration 504 funding for the expansion project.

The financing was secured through the Bay Area Development Company and working with Bank of the West.

Owner Steven Egloff worked in the foundation repair industry for six years before starting Bay Area Underpinning Inc. with his wife, Kelly.

The company provides engineered underpinning

solutions for structures with foundation settlement and serves clients throughout the greater Bay Area as well as the Sacramento area, a statement from the company states.

Bay Area Underpinning repairs unstable foundations by utilizing a variety of options, including push piers, helical piers, drilled concrete piers, screw jacks and carbon fiber, according to the company statement.

“While there are other contractors in the same market space, the Egloffs have a solid reputation for delivering quality work,” according to the statement.

The firm lists 15 area cities in which it works, a list that also includes Vacaville and Vallejo.
