SUISUN CITY — Families enjoyed a relatively mild weather day outside with their children Saturday at the 6th annual Western Railway Museum Pumpkin Patch. Lori Walker of Vacaville came with her friend and children, Ian, 8, and Kyle, 6 for a fun afternoon. “They love going on the trains,” Walker said. “They love the hay fort but they didn’t have it this year.” A few changes needed to be made to address the Covid-19 issue and unfortunately, the hay fort got the ax this year. Event organizer Erika Hunt was happy they could do the annual event again after they had to cancel See Museum, Page A12

FAIRFIELD — Limiting Halloween celebrations to smaller family gatherings is one way the Solano County Public Health Division said will help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. “Mixing among individuals who do not live in the same home creates more opportunities for the virus to pass from one person to another. When it comes to reducing the spread of Covid-19, Halloween is no different than the rest of the year,” the agency said in a statement. “Stay home if you feel sick or have come into close contact with someone who has Covid-19, wear a face covering whenever you leave See Healthy, Page A12

Is Toy Hall of Fame Dream a sandcastle in the sky?

Battleship among the s this finally other nominees, sand sand’s year? will need to pick up a That’s the biggest gritty win to advance, if question to be answered you get my joke. Nov. 4 when the National The Toy Hall of Toy Hall of Fame Fame, for the unfamilannounces the three new members of the most iar, is based in important hall of fame Rochester, New York. in the world. The Hall of Fame began Brad Stanhope Sand is among inducting toys in Like I was sayin’ 12 finalists for induction 1998 with the legendary into the National Toy Hall of class that included Barbie, Fame, where it hopes to join the Legos, marbles, Hula Hoop, similarly overlooked stick, Lincoln Logs and 12 others. which was inducted in 2008. Since then, the greatest class is Other simple toys include generally considered to be 2004, blanket (2011), cardboard box when G.I. Joe, rocking horse (2005), ball (2009) and paper and Scrabble were inducted. airplane (2017). Last year saw Baby Nancy, Sand, of course, is a longshot sidewalk chalk and Jenga for the Class of 2021. There are qualify. (If only there were a just three spots available and metaphor for the possibility of most observers expect Cabbage Jenga’s induction collapsing.) Patch Kids to get one. With This year’s nominees include American Girl Dolls and the aforementioned sand,

Cabbage Patch Kids, American Girl Dolls and Battleship. The other eight nominees are billiards, Fisher-Price Corn Popper, Mahjong, Masters of the Universe action figures, piñata, Risk, The Settlers of Catan board game and toy fire engine. As with every Hall of Fame (baseball, football, basketball, hockey, rock and roll, inventor, etc.), there is harsh debate over the nominees. You may play Mahjong and think it should be a slam-dunk inductee and I may think it’s an adult gambling game, nowhere near the level of the Big Wheel (inducted in 2009) and Silly Putty (2001). You may consider the Masters of the Universe action figures the epitome of cool toys and I may think they’re some dumb toy that arrived, thrived and disappeared between my

childhood and that of my kids. You may think the piñata is a novelty birthday event and I may know you’re wrong and it’s a brilliant combination of violence, competition and free candy. You may think that sand is just an irritant that gets on your blanket at the beach and I may think, “Oh, it’s Mrs. Brad weighing in,” but I would still think you’re off base. This should be sand’s year. Just read the description of sand as a toy that was included in the Toy Hall of Fame’s nomination announcement: “Sand may be the most universal and oldest toy in the world. Educator Maria Montessori has argued that sand ‘is one substance that the modern child is allowed to handle quite freely.’ Children recognize sand as a creative material suitable for pouring,

scooping, sieving, raking and measuring. Wet sand is even better, ready for kids to construct, shape and sculpt. Sand provides unique opportunities for tactical, physical, cooperative, creative and independent free play.” It’s sand’s time. Piñata, too, frankly. If they both make it, I’m willing to look past the inevitable Cabbage Patch Kids induction and consider the 2021 class the best in years. If it’s Mahjong and the Masters of the Universe? I’ll find you and kick sand in your face. If sand is not a Hall of Fame toy, it’s at least an elitelevel way to express anger. Reach Brad Stanhope at bradstanhope@outlook.com.

Students virtually Zoom into space for a chat with astronaut Megan McArthur Tribune Content Agency SEATTLE — The students gathered at the Museum of Flight in Seattle were ready to ask Megan McArthur questions, via video link, about life as an astronaut. She was about as far away as Walla Walla – but in outer space. McArthur is a NASA astronaut aboard the International Space Station, moving above the Earth at more than 17,500 mph, orbiting every 90 minutes. Just before the video connection was made for the Saturday event, former astronaut Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger, an astronaut from 2004 to 2014, spoke about life aboard the space station and was asked, of course, everyone’s favorite question: How do you go to the bathroom in space? The answer: There are spacesuit hookups and funnels and toilets. Nothing floats free. She was asked about the space station’s size, and replied that it was a surprise to her how large it was. It’s about the size of a soccer field, and the crew quarters — seven astronauts are currently at the station — are about the size of the interior of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet. Then from space came a question: “Dottie, can you read me?” “Loud and clear,” said Metcalf-Lindenburger. One by one, 10 students attending programs at the Museum of Flight’s

Eleventh-grader Naazneen Vemmerath Kulangara asks NASA astronaut Megan McArthur a question from the Museum of Flight. McArthur was aboard the International Space Station during a video hookup on Saturday, Oct. 16. Boeing Academy for STEM Learning asked McArthur questions. McArthur, an oceanographer and engineer, has flown a space shuttle mission and a SpaceX mission. She holds a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from UCLA and a Ph.D. in oceanography from the University of California, San Diego, and conducted research at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “Out of . . . the colleges you’ve attended, which do you think has the best programs?” wondered student Laniyah Ezell. McArthur provided a diplomatic answer: Choose a school based on goals and aspirations. She said she always wanted to be an astronaut. “Are there any specifics that we should keep in mind if we are aspiring to be an astronaut?” high school junior Vemmerath Naazneen

Kulangara asked. McArthur said she wasn’t always patient but had to learn to “be a patient person with [herself] and with the team.” She also told the students they can learn to do things they never knew they were capable of. McArthur learned to draw her own blood and others’ on board. She discussed space food, like a chicken salad wrap and a fruit salad — “quite a nice bistro lunch.” Metcalf-Lindenburger said that sounded like an improvement over her time in the space station. As McArthur spoke from a weightless environment and her hair rose up behind her, a few objects floated by — one looked like a stuffed toy, and the other was a small robot. But the biggest surprise that floated by was when two other astronauts photobombed the halfhour session.

The project was timed to coincide with National Make a Difference Day. “I love how everyone is working together,” Marco Zavala said. “If we all did this, Vacaville would be better.” His wife looked over

the front yard where volunteers were laying bark to replace the dried-out grass. “The landlord just agreed we could do this; it is really exciting,” Sandra Zavala said. “This is a good way to save money on watering, at least for him.” They were not the only house on the looping block to get some love and attention. Eight other homes got work done, some received new fencing, others bark replacement for the front yard, some had unwanted items removed from the yards. Several large trash See Help, Page A5

ROCKVILLE — The Solano Community College District has announced its most recent bond initiative that it says will lower property taxes and save district taxpayers millions in future debt payments. The district was able to achieve savings of approximately $13.9 million for local taxpayers by refinancing existing general obligation bonds, according to a press release. The district has taken advantage of previous refinancing opportunities since 2005. The combined savings from all of the refinancing efforts now totals more than $46 million, the college district reports. “We are very pleased that our credit rating,

Gunfire on Barrows Drive in Suisun City Daily Republic Staff

SUISUN CITY — The investigation continues into a shooting Thursday in which gunfire was sprayed across a number of vehicles and homes. Dispatchers received multiple calls shortly before 4:20 p.m. of the shooting on the 500 block of Barrows Drive. Officers who responded to the scene found multiple spent shell casings in the area. Several vehicles and homes were struck by gunfire. Police canvassed the area collected evidence and witness statements. Anyone who has information about this shooting is asked to call Suisun City Police Department Investigations Unit at 421-7373.

From Page A4 bins were quickly filled to the brim with residents bringing out a little of everything, from appliances to old toys. Figuring out which neighborhoods in Vacaville would be best for some sprucing up was a difficult task. The city looked at 15 different sites, settling on these two because it was the one with the most code enforcement calls for services, according to Jill Childers, Vacaville fire marshal. “We plan on making this an annual event,” Childers said. City officials walked the two streets, letting people know beforehand that they were under consideration for this event. Fire Chief Kris Concepcion noted that the volunteers Saturday included the Boys and Girls Clubs of Vacaville, who also cleaned up their own building, along with church groups and residents of the two streets. Organizers had planned to paint several fences and buildings, but that work was postponed until next year due to the day’s rainfall. The city used money from Measure M to bring this day to fruition, City Manager Aaron Busch said. “We allotted $75,000 for the project,” he said. “This got all the initial tools that we needed like wheelbarrows, rakes, that kind of thing. You can’t really measure this event by dollars. It’s about community pride and you can’t put a price on that.”

Solano Community College in Fairfield. current fiscal conditions and our future plans positioned the district to take advantage of significantly lower interest rates that will advantage the taxpayers,” Superintendent Celia Esposito-Noy said in the press release. The district has locked-in a final aggregate interest rate on the refunding bonds and the Measure Q bonds of 2.43%. Prior to the new refinancing bond initiative,

the local community was paying an aggregate interest rate of more than 5% on the prior debt. Another aspect of this transaction is the new debt payment schedule. As a result of the interest rate received on the bonds, the district was able to shorten the final bond term and eliminate one extra year of future debt. The district completed the transaction earlier this month.

SolTrans announces Agency schedules webinar for Suisun plan service changes starting in December Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — Riders of SolTrans Route 82 buses – to and from Vallejo and the San Francisco Ferry Building – are getting a 40% fare reduction starting Dec. 5. The new fare will be $6 for adults, $5 for youth and $3 for seniors and individuals with disabilities, the agency announced. “Our hope for this service change is that the service and new lower fares will set the stage for a great start to 2022. We’re looking forward to increased ridership and welcoming new riders and those we haven’t seen in a while back to transit,” Mandi Renshaw, senior analyst in scheduling and marketing, said in a statement. The lower rate is designed to attract more riders and therefore reduce traffic congestion in the area. It also is in response to the state’s Interstate

80 Six Bridge Project on the Magazine Street overcrossing. That work has affected other SolTrans routes, namely Route 3. “Eastbound (traffic) will no longer detour after Curtola Park and Ride Hub and will again serve the Beverly Hills area. Service to the stop at Magazine and Gary Circle will again be active,” the agency announced. “The Route 8 will no longer detour along Fulton and stay on Glen Cove Parkway. The Route 8 will still have minor delays due to the construction on the Benicia Road (overcrossing).” Other minor timing adjustments were made to routes 7A, 7B and Red Line. Riders are asked to check updated timetables at SolTrans.org. SolTrans has lifted all capacity restrictions on all services. Face masks are still required by federal law on all planes, buses, trains and all other forms of public transportation.

SUISUN CITY — There are two things theater people know: Never cry “Macbeth!” in a crowded theater, and always be ready for the unexpected. The unexpected came Saturday in the form of much-needed Bay Area rain during a craft fair fundraiser at the Suisun Harbor Theater. It was no problem, though, because they simply took the scheduled outdoor “show” inside and filled each room with more than 30 vendors who were hawking everything from donuts to doilies. “This is our second fundraiser this year,” said theater board member Amber Haddon. “Especially during Covid, this is helping us keep the electricity on.” Venders gave the theater items to offer in a prize drawing to help raise money, and the theater also sold snacks and drinks. Haddon said she enjoys helping the theater because it offers an opportunity for people in Solano County to enjoy entertainment that many have to drive elsewhere in the Bay Area to experience. “It keeps theater and culture close to home,” she said. Local crafters and artisans were in attendance, such as Erickson Ranch proprietor Victoria Erickson, who, along with her husband, make their own variety of jams. She had jars of pome-

granate, Meyer lemon, pluot, Amaretto cherry and Bartlett pear jam, along with standbys such as strawberry. Suisun City residents Will Duncan and his partner Jessica set up a table to sell their low carbohydrate, zero sugar, gluten-free, keto-friendly donuts and other treats to promote their business, Lo-Ca Breads and More. They said a portion of their profits this month will go to the Suisun City Veterans of Foreign Wars in recognition of Agent Orange Awareness Month. Though Halloween was on many people’s minds, Christmas crafts were to be had, such as wreaths, Santa figures and ornaments. Greetings From Pearl sold handmade holiday and other cards. Pearl Bond runs the business with her daughter, Alexandria. Rebecca Finn, from Red Bluff, displayed her all-natural “remedies” that she creates. Known as Simple Apothecary, it was her first year at the theater’s craft show but she said she was enjoying herself. She custom-blends essential oils and even CBD salves. If it’s still too early to wrap your head around Christmas, consider going to the theater’s Halloween Karaoke and Dance Party on Saturday. The event is open to adults 21 and older and will feature dancing, food, cocktails, a photo booth, and a costume contest. For more information, visit suisunharbortheater.org.

Funding to fight hate crime a start, but actions matter, too

G

ov. Gavin Newsom has signed legislation that includes more than $157 million for Asian Pacific Islander equity in the 2021-22 California budget. This is a historic three-year investment for California’s growing Asian Pacific Islander community. Nearly $10 million will go toward better data collection. With this critical funding as a first step, we look forward to action by the Legislature. When state lawmakers reconvene in January, we urge them to consider legislation that can help track anti-Asian Pacific Islander hate crimes, including setting up a multilingual hate crimes hotline. This would match on the state level what Congress accomC.C. Yin plished earlier this year on the federal level – passing legislation that makes it easier to report hate crimes by improving outreach. A critical component for our Asian Pacific Islander community is to ensure that victims can easily report hate crimes by phone or online and that accurate data is collected. Such efforts Regina Yin areAneeded. strong supporter and outspoken voice for the Asian Pacific Island community in Northern California became the target of an anti-Asian hate crime in April. Ironically, Carl Chan, chairman of the nonprofit Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Oakland chapter and president of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber, was on his way to visit a victim of a separate hate crime incident when he was attacked from behind by an assailant making racial slurs. The quick-thinking Chan whipped out his cellphone and took a photo of the assailant, which led to the swift arrest of 25-year-old James Lee Ramsey, who was on parole for criminal threats. Chan will be able to face his suspected attacker and provide a victim impact statement. A few months ago, our son-in-law, Harris Liu, a McDonald’s operator in Sacramento, also was physically assaulted and attacked with racial slurs. Fortunately, Liu was able to deflect the perpetrator’s swings and blows, and a nearby police officer arrested the assailant. “We are proud of our Asian heritage,” said Mary Yin Liu, Harris’ wife and Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs’ national president. “To attack someone in the middle of the day claiming that he doesn’t belong here because of his race is dehumanizing and criminal.” In many of these instances, however, there is no justice for the victim or their loved ones, because there are no arrests. According to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, anti-Asian hate crimes in 16 of America’s largest cities increased 145% in 2020. Sadly, the first spike occurred in March 2020 amid a rise in the coronavirus and negative stereotyping involving derogatory slurs such as the “China flu” or “Kung flu virus.” We must continue to amplify our voices, including implementing educational prevention programs in the community and school system to deter racism, outreach to address Covid-19 and higher levels of pollution in certain Asian Pacific Islander communities, and engagement with elected and regulatory officials to continue this momentum for reform and positive change. Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs led a Unity Against Hate Nationwide Rally in May, partnering with more than 180 diverse community organizations in 20 cities from Sacramento to Washington, D.C., including Australia and Canada. Next May, our organization will continue with a national week of action in partnership with many other diverse organizations, including the NAACP and Organization of Chinese Americans. While California’s $157 million is a strong start, it is only the beginning. The 2020 U.S. Census data shows that the Asian population is the fastest growing ethnic group in the Golden State, with a growth of 25% in the past decade. In our world, numbers and actions matter. Let’s build on this positive momentum. Our time is here and now.

Powell death raises questions about vaccine The death of Gen. Colin Powell has now caused a need to provide a “cover your booty” moment with regard to why you can still die if you are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. I think it’s ironic that at first we are told that in order to live and not die, you must be vaccinated, then there is a new revelation that, oops, you have to get a booster because your shot not only has to be frozen and taken within a certain time frame, but its shelf life is limited, too. Why didn’t we know that in the first place? It’s that kind of like false advertising? Just the other day on TV, Kamala Harris said, “take the vaccine so you won’t die.” Two days later, Colin Powell is dead. So the push now is to have a cover story to say “underlying, pre-existing conditions” was the cause of death in order for the vaccine business to continue. So, from now on you will be asking the “GCP” (Gen. Colin Powell) question: “Do you have any medical conditions like Colin Powell, because cancer can strip your immune system bare?” If so, you can still die, but you won’t have severe virus symptoms. Do you remember the commercials and news stories that came on when an unvaccinated person died of Covid-19 and their loved ones would come on tearfully pleading for you to be vaccinated? I wonder now what kind of commercial the vaccine proponents come up with to respond to the fully vaccinated death of Colin Powell. Maybe it will be something like this: “Please get vaccinated unless you have preexisting medical conditions like Colin Powell, you might die, but your symptoms while you die won’t be as severe.”

was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.” This is the famous poem by Martin Niemoller, a Lutheran pastor during the Nazi years of World War II. Although he initially believed in the German Third Reich, a 1934 meeting between Adolf Hitler and a number of Protestant bishops, including Niemoller, convinced him that Nazi leadership was fascist. He thereafter opposed it as much as anyone dared. After the war, he lectured extensively about the evils he had witnessed. Is Niemoller relevant today? Look around. Who wants to defund police departments or subject them to civilian committees outside their local governments? Who wants to disarm law-abiding citizens? Who turns the U.S. Department of Justice on parents who speak out at school board meetings, naming them “domestic terrorists?” Who is promoting critical race theory – creating “victims” and “oppressors” to divide Americans – in our schools? We ended our most recent The Tax Watchers column with Ronald Reagan’s warning that freedom depended on every generation being responsible for preserving it. Martin Niemoller spent his later years apologizing for not speaking out. If we are silent in the face of lawlessness and evil, a day of reckoning will come. And who will be left to defend us?

It made for a disjointed experience where the viewer had to guess as to the questions being asked or understand any discussion.

DR fails to report planned power outage Nixle, PG&E and AT&T reported a potential power shutoff for Solano and surrounding counties for Oct. 11, and advised us to be prepared. So we began consuming refrigerated foods, gathering lanterns and filling tubs with water. We expected to see something in the Sunday edition of the Daily Republic giving us further or updated information but there was nothing. Not a single word. If it were the case that Fairfield was not going to be affected, couldn’t you have told us that? Many, many residents do not use the internet and depend on our local paper for this sort of information; this time, we are left completely and utterly confused, talking with neighbors who know no more than we do.

What does your sign Staying positive say about your during a hectic time vaccination status? W The Washington Post

One Utah county hopes coronavirus vaccine doses are in everyone’s horoscopes. Health officials in Salt Lake County, hoping to sway more residents to go get their shots - suggesting the time is right, now that Mercury isn’t in retrograde anymore analyzed a swath of data about their 1.2 million residents and tweeted a breakdown of vaccination status by astrological sign. The tweet Tuesday sparked a wave of social media indignation at deeply private Scorpios (the least vaccinated) and seemed to give attentioncraving Leos (the most vaccinated) one more reason to pat themselves on the back. Vaccination coverage varied widely by sign. The public response to the post has been overwhelmingly positive, said Nicholas Rupp, communications manager at the Salt Lake County Health Department - and a vaccinated Scorpio. Local media outlets including the Salt Lake Tribune first reported the story. “Astrological signs are tribal,” Rupp told The Washington Post. “They bring out a competitiveness in people because nobody wants their sign to be ranked lowest, even if you don’t believe in

astrology.” But astrologer Narayana Montúfar says some of the rankings make sense - at least according to simplified assessments of the characteristics of people’s sun signs. The two most-vaccinated signs, Leo, a fire sign with 70% fully vaccinated, and Aquarius, an air sign with 67%, are “super people-oriented,” said Montúfar, a senior astrologer at Horoscope.com and Astrology.com, and author of “Moon Signs: Unlock Your Inner Luminary Power.” “King of the jungle” Leos, for instance, like to be the center of attention, “admired and surrounded by their people,” while Aquarius is the sign that “relates most to community and social work,” Montúfar said. Aquarians, she added, are also “techie” and generally tend to embrace innovation. It’s not surprising that other signs with high vaccination rates are Aries and Sagittarius, both of which are also fire signs and known to be social, she said. “They’re just like, ‘I don’t want anything to stop me from hanging out with my friends.’ “ Similarly, one might expect to find wellnessminded Virgos, 50%, and privacy-seeking Scorpios, 46%, at the bottom

of the list, Montúfar said. Virgos, she said, are often very concerned about health and may be hesitant to receive a coronavirus vaccine because they’re trapped in “analysis paralysis.” Meanwhile, Scorpios probably “don’t even want to disclose information” about their vaccination status, she said. To determine these numbers, the county’s health department compared the anonymized birth dates of vaccinated residents with data on the national distribution of astrological signs - something Rupp said “we wouldn’t normally do if this were an actual scientifically valid study,” because national and local sign distribution may differ. But, he said, the point of the “analysis” was to get people talking about vaccines - even if it’s to compete among one another about it. “The whole purpose of the 10 minutes it took to come up with this was to get the conversation going about vaccination in this time when we’re having message fatigue around vaccination,” Rupp said. On social media, users celebrated or commiserated with others who share the same signs as them, with many calling

Some NSAIDs inhibit the pain-causing prostaglandins with less of an effect on stomach-protecting prostaglandins. Having said that, even newer compounds have run into problems with other side effects.

Other chemists fine-tuned the chemical process that gives us modern aspirin. The World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines includes aspirin. Up to 120 billion aspirin pills are consumed annually, worldwide. Aspirin remains the 38th most frequently prescribed drug in America. “Take an aspirin and call me in the morning,” a once commonly heard phrase, reminds us of aspirin’s legacy in clinical medicine.

out Scorpios. But Montúfar, a vaccinated Scorpio, pushed back on the denigration of Scorpios (the Tribune article, for example, called them “the most notoriously intense grudge-holders in the cosmos.”) “It’s actually one of the most misunderstood signs,” she said. “Everyone thinks Scorpios are evil. No, they’re just private and like few people.” Scorpio slander aside, Rupp said he’s gotten “a kick out of seeing all the Leos patting themselves on the back.” “They are really proud of being number one, and that’s awesome,” he said. “That’s one of the things we hoped would come out of this conversation is people taking pride in doing the

responsible thing for our community.” Cities and states around the country have turned to various incentives to get Americans to get coronavirus vaccinesamid a decline in demand. Beer, bouquets and a Nissan are just some items on the list of incentives offered to Americans this year. Businesses across the United States, including brewing companies, doughnut chains and more, also jumped on the national campaign by giving out freebies to the immunized, as governments and employers around the world tried to use tax breaks, airline tickets and other incentives to entice people to get immunized. Public health officials cautioned early on in the vaccine rollouts that luring in apathetes could be the harder part.

make your own memories for your family. And, most importantly, do not feel even one bit of guilt. — Retired Navy in Washington State Dear Retired Navy: You are right that family is where you are and that sharing with people who appreciate it is very rewarding. I’m sorry your daughters did not get an opportunity to grow close to your husband’s parents, but it is good that your mother participated in their upbringing. I hope you will continue to provide a welcome home with open arms to your in-laws, and maybe, before it’s too late, they will join you for a holiday. Thank you for sharing your experiences and observations. Dear Annie: My husband has control issues. He is aware that he has them, and he really tries hard to keep them in check. We are finally at a place in our marriage where I can make

decisions about our home, such as interior decorating and small remodeling jobs, and act on them, and it feels wonderful! I have a design and merchandising degree, and I am the one who manages the home while he works in an office most days, so it makes sense to both of us for me to be “in charge” of these things. I do small projects maybe two or three times a year. These are not expensive or overwhelming. For example, buying a new couch (not the one he enjoys sitting on; I’m leaving that one alone) and selling the old one for just a bit less than the new one cost. However, he gets super grumpy, testy and short-tempered when I’m planning and executing a change – ANY change! I am good at keeping to our budget, and he has always liked the changes I’ve made once they’re finished.

What can I say to him to remind him (kindly) that we have both agreed to let me go with my design choices and that he should try to at least be nice during the process? — Tired of Mr. Control Dear Tired: The good news is that you are both aware of his control issues. Congratulations on working together and communicating what is important to each of you in the marriage. Next time he starts to get grumpy or short-tempered, call him out on it. Try calmly talking to him about his behavior and how his words are making you feel. There’s always the chance that he doesn’t realize that his knee-jerk complaints about anything new are really wearing you down, and he might be willing to change.

Today’s birthday The highlight is fresh experiences, and you’ll have many “firsts” this year. Your enjoyment will be enhanced by the presence of people from different generations. A festive November event is a chance to share your talent. You’ll earn more than you planned to in December and share the wealth. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 25, 42, 30 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The problem can be solved. First, take the pressure off yourself so you can move again. You’re going to need to walk around this issue and see it from a few different vantage points. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll finish what you started. The accomplishment is a significant boost to your confidence. This is true even if no one knows about it except you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll trade up in some way. High value, in this case, is relative and will be determined on fit alone. The option that suits you best will not be the one with the highest price tag. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The empathy you feel changes you. When you open yourself to listen deeply to another person’s experience, you get a small taste of the experience yourself and are broadened accordingly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are focused on the difference you want to make in the world. However serious you are about the mission, approach it with a light heart. You’ll be surprised at how much you can change by simply shining the warmth of your smile on it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No need to hide the flaw or spin the story so it sounds like you’re getting everything right. That wouldn’t be relatable, and therefore, it would only make it harder to connect with people. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everyone is a performer to some extent. Sometimes you’re a hit. Other times, the act flops. That just hones your work. To win the room, you first have to read it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). How long you’re in a place matters little compared with what value you brought to the others while you were there. With this in mind, you’ll think in terms of the impression you’d like to make, not the amount of time it takes to make it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To learn another person is a form of love. You’ll feel loved today because there’s a person who knows just how to make you laugh or get you in the frame of mind to act. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The upgrade isn’t necessarily better, just newer. It will stir up fresh energy and ideas, though, so at least it’s something different. Today, different will be good. Get the upgrade. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It feels as though you have a frenemy, or a rival working at cross purposes to yours. There is a way to turn this into a win-win arrangement: Find the common purpose you share. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Since you can’t make everyone happy, just focus on doing what needs to be done. Let the others fend for themselves for a while. You’ll be surprised at your productivity, and that makes at least one person happy... you! CELEBRITY PROFILES: Despite being an Oscar winner, Kevin Kline confessed, “I’ve never felt completely satisfied with what I’ve done. I tend to see things too critically.” Perhaps the deluge of emotional water sign energy in Kline’s natal chart has him too emotionally connected to the moment to witness his own greatness. Look for Kline in the film adaptation of Ann Leary’s “The Good House” co-starring Sigourney Weaver. Write Holiday Mathis at HolidayMathis.com.

Darlene Medley, of Syracuse, with her twin boys Devon, left, and Rashad, have had to deal with lead poisoning in their home.

We must do our best to protect children from lead poisoning Anquanitte Ortega For the Daily Republic

T

he California Department of Public Health, Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch, reports that lead poisoning is one of the most common environmental illnesses in California children. The Solano County Board of Supervisors this year recognizes the week of Oct. 24-30 as National Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week with the theme, “Even small amounts of lead can harm a child’s health. Ask your child’s doctor about a blood lead test.” Lead is a natural, but toxic heavy metal that was used in paint for houses built before 1978. These older homes may have deteriorating lead-based paint and lead-contaminated soil and dust, which is the cause of most children who are poisoned by lead. Other sources of childhood lead poisoning may include: n Work clothes or shoes from workers exposed to lead on the job, such as smelting, making or recycling batteries, and repairing radiators. n Handmade ceramic tableware, especially imported ceramics decorated with lead-based glaze or paint. n Some toys, jewelry and other painted objects. n Traditional home remedies, including Azarcon, Greta, Pay-loo-ah, and some Ayurvedic and Chinese remedies.

n Traditional cosmetics, including Surma and Sindoor. n Some imported spices, candies and other food products. n Water stored in a water crock or running through plumbing that contains lead. As advised by the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch, there are no safe levels of lead in the body. Young children are at greater risk for lead poisoning than adults because their bodies are still growing and developing. Children 6 years old and younger are at an increased risk due to their hand-to-mouth behaviors and rapid growth cycles, causing more lead to be absorbed. Many children with lead poisoning do not look or act sick. However, even small amounts of lead in the body can make it hard for children to learn, pay attention and behave. In addition, higher amounts of lead exposure can damage the nervous system, kidneys and other major organs. A blood lead test is the only way to know if children are poisoned by lead. Children at risk for lead exposure should be tested for lead poisoning at 12 months and 24 months. If children are between 24 months and 6 years old, are enrolled in publicly funded health care and have never been tested, they should also have a blood lead test. Additionally, children can be tested at any age if there is a concern about possible

lead exposure. Children who receive Medi-Cal or Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) services are eligible for free blood lead testing, and private health insurance plans will also pay for the test. The National Center of Environmental Health states that childhood lead poisoning is 100% preventable by keeping children away from lead exposures. The key is to keep children from away from lead. It is important to: n Not let children chew on painted surfaces or eat paint chips. n Keep home clean and dust-free by wet mopping floors, vacuuming and frequently washing all windows and surfaces. n Take shoes off or wipe shoes off before entering a home. n Wash children’s hands and toys often, especially before eating and sleeping. n Feed children healthy meals and snacks regularly, limiting foods with added fat and sugar. n Always be aware of what children put in their mouths.

Flood watches stretch

from the Oregon border almost as far as Bakersfield in the south, the weather service said. High surf warning bringing waves of up to 30 feet are forecast to crash into all coastland. “Periods of heavy rain are expected Sunday morning through Monday morning,” according to the National Weather Service in Sacramento.

Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A storm known as a bomb cyclone that reached maximum intensity Thursday afternoon over the northern Pacific marked the beginning of an intense and stormy stretch for the West Coast. That weather system will send storms into the region through Tuesday, unleashing nearly 2 feet of rain in some areas locally and up to 8 feet of snow over the mountains, according to AccuWeather. Trace amounts of rainfall were recorded throughout the day Saturday at both Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield and at the Nut Tree

Airport in Vacaville. The National Weather Service projects that the Fairfield area could see between 0.75 and 1 inch of rainfall Saturday night, as much as another 2 to 3 inches of rainfall during the day Sunday and then another 1 to 2 inches Sunday night. The forecast called for the Vacaville area to see similar rainfall totals Saturday night with in excess of 4 inches of rainfall possible during the day Sunday and another 1 to 2 inches possible Sunday night. There’s a wind advisory in effect in the greater Fairfield-Suisun City and Vacaville areas from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday. A flood watch went into effect in both areas at 11 p.m. Saturday and continues through

5 p.m. Monday. A flash flood watch is also in effect from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday in the area burned by the LNU Lightning Complex fire in August 2020, primarily in rural Vacaville. Heavy rains in the area of the burn scar may cause debris flows, the Solano County Office of Emergency Services reports. The approach of the storms prompted officials in Fairfield on Friday to announce the closure of Rockville Park from sunset Saturday until sunrise Tuesday. The closure will allow staff to assess and address potential tree and rockfall hazards on or near the trail system, the city reports in a press release.

Museum: Party From Page One it last year. The pumpkin patch has become a family tradition for many people, but Hunt noted several changes had to be made to make it work. “We did not go all the way out to the Gum Grove this year,” she said. “Instead the event was held up here at the museum.” They had to cancel the final day of the event – Sunday – due to the storms that were set to move through the region. “Everyone has already been refunded their ticket money,” Hunt said. The trains were still filled Saturday for a longer train ride past Gum Grove and back again, where visitors were let off to chuck pumpkins, enjoy the new petting zoo, which was special for Halloween, or get free temporary tattoos.

Rodriguez High School provided a petting zoo this year with animals from the FFA students. Rodriguez students from the animation class created temporary tattoos with a Halloween theme along with stickers, coloring pages and lapel pins. The pumpkin patch is one of the biggest fundraisers for the Rotary clubs of Dixon, Fairfield-Suisun and Cordelia, which split the proceeds. Mike Monachello, president of the Dixon Rotary Club, said he was glad to be back again this year. “With Covid we have had to make some changes,” he said. One of the changes was that the food pickup was almost self-services with people grabbing chips and a drink on the way out the line and no one was handing it to them. “We usually sell more items,” he said.

Philip Wilson with his daughter, Sarai Wilson, of Suisun City, take part in the pumpkin chuck at the 6th Annual Western Railway Museum Pumpkin Patch in rural Suisun City, Saturday. Monachello said he missed seeing the hay fort but the area for families to sit and eat was nice. “We talked about it this year and decided it wasn’t going to be about generating revenue but getting people back outside,” he said. “This was more like a community service for people.” And people were excited to be outdoors and doing something more akin to normal. Philip Wilson came to the event with his wife, Anna, and daugh-

ter, Sarai. They had not been in several years and were all a bit giddy to be outdoors. “It is so nice to just be outside,” Anna Wilson. The next big event for the Western Railway Museum will be the Santa Train in December. Activities include a bounce house and activity tables. Hot cocoa, marshmallows, cookies and popcorn are all included. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time online at www.wrm.org.

Healthy: Covid-free Halloween tips From Page One home, wash or sanitize your hands frequently and keep your distance from others.” The county agency offered a number of tips for a Covid-safe holiday. They include getting boosted or vaccinated to likely prevent infection and to reduce the risk of severe illness; wear face coverings, especially if someplace everyone has not been vaccinated or when around people who are more vulnerable; gather outdoors; try to keep safe distances while

trick-or-treating; and use hand sanitizer frequently. Public Health also reminds residents that Halloween masks are not adequate substitutions for Covidprotective coverings. For vaccine and booster clinic information, go to www.solanocounty.com/covidvaccine. The clinics are walk-in or appointment-based. To make an appointment at the mass vaccination event, eligible residents can sign up for their booster or their first/second dose with the available vaccines online at https://vax.

phast-vax-ca.org/en-US/. Those who require registration assistance should call 800-672-0150. In-home vaccinations for homebound individuals can be arranged by calling the appointment line. If transportation is needed, call 784-8655. “After Halloween, monitor yourself for Covid-19 symptoms. If you don’t feel well or you learn someone you had close contact with tested positive, get tested and stay home until your appointment and while you wait for your results,” the agency said.

In 2007, I had the privilege of recognizing my firstgrade teacher, Lena Yolo. Several years later, I was lucky enough to honor my second-grade teacher, Leona Mae Bonovich. Their lessons still resonate with me today,” board Chairman John Vasquez said in a statement released by the Senior Coalition, which helps organize and put on the event each year. “In the years since, I have come to believe this is the best event the board has had the benefit of participating in. These individuals have contributed so much and are truly the fabric of our society. They have unique perspectives and stories that need to be heard. To our centenarians, we pay tribute to you

and express a deep sense of gratitude for all you have given us,” Vasquez said. There are 47 known residents who are at least 100 years old, or who will turn 100 before the end of 2021 – 28 of whom live in Fairfield. There are 13 in Vacaville, five in Vallejo and one in Rio Vista, the county reported. The oldest among them, at 106, are Hazel Booher of Fairfield and Dorothy Pennycot of Vacaville. Additionally, LaVonne Eyres and Maria Luz Tobias Galang, both of Fairfield, and Bruce Sooy of Vacaville, are 104 years old. There are about 90,000 centenarians living in the United States, the Senior Coalition reported. Solano County has honored more than 250 centenarians, the oldest of them, Reta Wills of Vallejo, who reached super-centenarian status (110) in 2021.”

Festivities begin at 10 a.m. The board meets at 9 a.m. in the first-floor chamber in the government center, 675 Texas St. in Fairfield. A closed session follows the morning session, during which the supervisors will be updated on anticipated litigation and negotiations involving property at 709 Beck Ave. in Fairfield. The afternoon session has two items: consideration of a lot line adjustment that includes a Williamson Act property at 3490 and 3570 Cantelow Road, and consideration of a rezoning petition in Elmira. The Diversity Beer Company is seeking the rezone so it can build and operate a brewpub and taproom at the former location of The Cabin saloon at 6077 and 6081 California Pacific Road, just outside of Vacaville.

Vaca council to discuss housing K aty St. Clair

katy@dailyrepublic.com

VACAVILLE — The City Council on Tuesday will discuss affordable housing and infrastructure issues that face the city. Council members will also open discussion into how to apply federal pandemic relief funds. The body will hear a presentation about the Housing Element of the city’s General Plan, with an emphasis on affordable housing challenges.

It will also hear the annual report about the homeless facility, Opportunity House. A city’s general plan is its blueprint for future growth. The American Rescue Plan Act presentation will cover the eligible categories the funds may cover and is a “starting point” for discussion on the topic, according to a city staff report. Vacaville has been slated to receive a total

of $12,675,830 from the American Rescue Plan Act pndemic relief fund. These federal dollars may be used for Covid-19 response and relief to individuals and businesses affected by the virus; replacement of public sector revenue losses; raises for essential workers; and water, sewer and broadband infrastructure. The City Council remains virtual-only and convenes at 6 p.m.

metal chain in his other hand. The man described being attacked by Foster with the machete, nearly severing his thumb and slashing him several times, inflicting multiple cuts on the back of his head, neck and right forearm. Bleeding profusely, the man said he tried to flee from Foster by running down his driveway toward the street. But he stumbled and fell and Foster set on him again, slashing him again on his head and arms. A witness driving by yelled at Foster to stop the attack, the District Attorney’s Office reports. Foster fled toward a field and was apprehended nearby.

The case had been scheduled to proceed to trial for a third time, the District Attorney’s Office reports. Instead, it ended with a plea agreement. There were mistrials declared at the first two jury trials due to Covid-19 and the death of Watson’s wife, who had witnessed the assault of her husband. Watson has since moved out of state to be closer to his family members. The District Attorney’s Office reports that Watson’s need for closure was great, given the injuries he sustained, the loss of his wife and the lengthy litigation that took place over the past four years, which included an assessments of Foster’s level of impairment and possible mental health issues.

Williams: Convicted of murder From Page A3 Pendergast III is scheduled to hand down his sentence when Williams returns to court Jan. 22. Williams fatally stabbed Jonathan Russell on Oct. 23, 2018. Russell died more than a week later, on Oct. 31. Deputy District Attorney Ilana Shapiro convinced the jury that Williams had become upset when he arrived at a friend’s home after a funeral and wrongly

assumed Russell had left his 9-year-old daughter alone for the entire day. He also apparently was upset about the condition of the house. Williams initially left, but returned to the house on Fry Road. “He then grabbed the small child and started to run out of the house with her,” the District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Russell tried to rescue the child, who the District Attorney’s Office reports was “screaming

in terror.” The young girl was able to break free and run back into her house, where she hid until Solano County sheriff’s deputies arrived. during Williams the altercation stabbed Russell in the neck and fled from the house as Russell’s friends attempted to perform livesaving measures as they waited for emergency personnel to arrive. Sheriff’s Sgt. Andrew Hendrix was the lead investigator on the case.

Space deadline is Wednesday, October 27th.

Booster: Eligiblity expanded From Page A3 manufacturing workers and corrections workers. U.S. postal workers, public transit workers and grocery store workers also are included. Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, said the county does not ask for proof of any qualifying condition except age, so now, if someone is 18 or older and wants a booster, they will get it. To date, 259,735 county residents, 12 or older, are fully vaccinated, representing 69% of that population. That is up from 68% as reported Wednesday. The county reported 79% of that population received at least one shot. The county reported Friday there were 79 new coronavirus cases, 69 over the past two days, taking the pandemic total to 45,388. There were 37 residents hospitalized with the disease, down from 44, with 12 in intensive care units, which is up from eight. “What’s happening is people are in the ICUs for an extended period of time,” Matyas said. “The average stay in the ICU for Covid is several weeks.” That is why the number of residents hospitalized can drop, but the ICU count can go up. The number of Covid-related deaths held at 315, the county reported. The 10-day daily case average was at

34.8%, compared to 19.8% Wednesday. Fairfield added 21 new cases to take its total to 12,163. Vallejo is at 13,308 after 17 new cases. Vacaville added 23 cases to take its count to 11,917, the county reported. Suisun City (3,215) added 10 new cases; Dixon (2,529) added four cases; Benicia (1,519) added three; and Rio Vista (598) added one. There were no new reports in the unincorporated area, keeping its case total at 139. The seven-day positivity testing rate was reported at 5.5%. It was 4.6% Wednesday, the county reported. n n n Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death. The delta variant of the virus, which is currently dominant in the U.S., is highly transmissible with indications that asymptomatic individuals can spread the virus to others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that unvaccinated people who contract the delta variant of the virus are 11 times more likely to die from the disease as those who are vaccinated. The vast majority of people who contract the disease, however, do recover.

Vaccine: Doctors urge shot From Page A3 vaccinated. “We wanted to have a voice in the community,” she said, adding that maybe the letter reaches those residents who do not have a personal doctor to talk to, or who simply do not go to doctors very often. She said that can be particularly true for younger residents, who are generally healthier. However, she said, clinics and hospitals are seeing more and more younger individuals coming in as Covid-19 patients.

Solano County reports that 63 residents who are 17 or younger have been hospitalized with the disease. There have been no Covid-reported deaths among that age group. “We are your physicians. You have honored us by entrusting your lives to us, as well as the lives of your loved ones. We are also your neighbors, your friends, and your relatives. We share with you a deep love of this region and of our communities. Like you, we dream of a safe, Covid-free future,” the letter states. It later states, “We have studied the data and

seen the benefits of vaccination with our own eyes. The vaccines are well tested, very safe, and highly effective. Yes, masking helps. But not nearly as much as being vaccinated.” It concludes, “You’ve trusted us with every other aspect of your health. Please trust us with this. We are not asking you to do anything that we have not done ourselves. In fact, over 96% of U.S. physicians were vaccinated as of June, and the percentage is likely even higher among NapaSolano physicians. It is safe and effective.

Super Bowl champ among speakers at Luncheon Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — It’s been almost 40 years since William “Bubba” Paris was a firstround draft choice for the San Francisco 49ers. Another first comes his way Nov. 7 when he is one of the speakers at the Solano County Library Foundation’s Authors Luncheon. While Paris has promoted his 2015 book, “Born for This Moment: You Are More Than Ready to Face Your Challenge,” the Solano County event will be his first time at an Authors Luncheon. The three-time Super Bowl champion was in the midst of auditing numbers for a grant that helped pay for the Tracy Community Connections Center that serves the homeless and those at risk, when he spoke to the Daily Republic. Paris is the nonprofit’s executive director. “I should have done this months ago,” he said of reviewing the numbers. If he had, he joked, Paris said he would have a heart attack by now. His book is the story of his journey from a confused, misunderstood child in search of normal, to a young man facing one of my most challenging moments, starting in Super Bowl XIX. “I was the biggest person in my class,” he said. “I was a foot taller and 20 pounds heavier.” He was called Baby Huey and many similar names. “I wanted to be normal,” Paris said, adding that he got in trouble for talking in class. If he could just give up his size and voice, Paris felt he would be normal. He would learn he was the size he needed to be to take his rightful place in the world. As a motivational speaker, Paris shares his story with youth, encouraging them to find their purpose. “You were born perfect for your purpose,” Paris said. Paris looked over the defining events of his life to understand their significance while writing the book – and discovering his purpose. People may be at different points on their journey in life. Paris penned the book to help people understand the significance of their decisions and actions. He calls it a road map with instructions and proven advice that can be picked up at any time. Paris chuckled as he discovered mistakes on, and in, the book after it was published. One of the first was calling it a memoir, not a biography. See Bubba, Page B3

Comic Myles Weber stepping away from stand-up – after 1 more show Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — This may be the last chance, for some time, to experience Myles Madness live. Comic Myles Weber is filming a comedy special Sunday at Laughs Unlimited in Sacramento. “This will be the last show I do for a while, as I’m starting my own business next year and will also be focusing on being a new dad,” Weber wrote in a Facebook message. The former Vallejo, Vacaville, Sacramento and Los Angeles resident has called Las Vegas home recently. He started stand-up when he was 20, doing open mic nights at the now-defunct Pepperbellys in Fairfield. Weber, now nearing 33, won the San Francisco International Stand-Up Comedy Competition. He worked on his act, marketed his talents and traveled far and wide, hitting every stage possible, every night and sometimes day possible. Now, he awaits the birth of his first child, a son due Christmas Eve, and the launch of “Green Room Talk: All Talk, No Drama,” life coaching with him and his wife Heather Weber. It has a tentative January launch. “It’s affordable virtual life coaching for entertainers of all levels,” Myles Weber shared in an email. “Our goal is to help performance artists get back to wholeness. Therapy works from present to past; we’re trying to bridge that gap and focus on the present to the future.

“We’ll have a department for helping line folks up with professionals of many life needs as they come up: therapists, trainers, etc.” Also in the mix is a membership option where one can be a part of a community of artists in their field to help network and build each other up. “A lot of entertainers need that support system or someone to talk ideas out with,” Weber wrote. “And we want to help them make a better life to make better art.” There’s plenty of humor in the big life changes, he wrote. “I think part of the nature of being a recovering comedy junkie is that I can find the humor in almost anything,” he wrote. Eight years ago he recorded what he describes as an “awful” comedy album called “Vasectomy Money.” He is a different human now. “And I couldn’t be happier with this life and the direction it’s headed,” he wrote. Weber is not going quietly. This weekend’s Laughs Unlimited show is going to be unlike anything he has done before. “I’m calling it, ‘Mr. Bright Side’ because everything is looking on the positive side of things with a few psychedelic stories mixed in there, too,” Weber wrote. “A lot of comedy lately has been a commentary on where we are. I’m talking about where we can go from here in the most positive way possible.” The audience can also expect his thoughts on pre-fatherhood and how we treat each other. “A lot of hard work went into this

special, and I’m excited to get it out to people,” Weber wrote. Laughs Unlimited was one of the first clubs he worked in doing stand-up. There he worked his way from the host, to featureed act and then the headliner. Weber said he could not think of anywhere he would rather do the special than at Laughs Unlimited. Impending fatherhood has changed him. “I’m so aware of how people treat each other, and energies that people give out and why they are the way they are,” he wrote. “I’m looking forward to teaching this kid as much as I am learning from him. This new business venture is going to help me get back to the roots of my inner kid again, so I’m happy to learn how to be a kid again from my wife’s and my son.” The new Weber will be named Robyn John Weber. There will be jokes about him and the spelling of his name at Laughs Unlimited. “Like if he ever decides to switch genders, he at least doesn’t have to change his name,” Weber wrote. “I like a good unisex name like a good unisex T-shirt.” When asked if he’s quitting comedy and the direction some people see it heading, Weber wrote he thinks comedy is shifting into something that’s going to be more of an escape from society instead of shining a light on it. “We’ve done that since the beginning, and now they finally believe us,” he wrote. Comics get onstage and say, “Man, it sucks out there!” Crowds are finally like, See Weber, Page B3

VPAT kicks off new season with ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro, then The Purple Xperience Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — The Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre presents four live concert events, including three acts rescheduled from its 2019-2020 season and one new show. American ukulele virtuoso and composer Jake Shimabukuro performs Nov. 5. He first came to the world’s attention with his deeply beautiful and original take on George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” in a viral video that dominated YouTube in 2005. The Hawaiian-born Shimabukuro has virtually reinvented the four-string instrument, causing many to call him “the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele.” Shimabukuro is also recognized for his interpretations of songs such as The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby,” The Zombies’ psychedelic rock nugget “Time of the Season” and Leonard Cohen’s iconic hymn “Hallelujah.” In the New Year, on Feb. 26, VPAT welcomes The Purple Xperience, a five-piece group hailing from Prince’s birthplace, Minneapolis. They have been touring around the country since their inception in 2011 by Dr. Fink and frontman Marshall Charloff. See VPAT, Page B3

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, October 24, 2021  B3

Susie Essman, Larry David clash again in ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Season 11, here’s how they get on in real life Tribune Content Agency Gina Salamone, New York Daily News, (TNS) They’re not about to curb their squabbling. The reluctant pals played by Larry David and Susie Essman on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” are always at each other’s throats, and fans of the comedy series won’t have to wait too long to see them in action in the upcoming season. Season 11, debuting Sunday on HBO and HBO Max, features their characters bickering again. But once the cameras turn off, so does the feuding. “I’ve known Larry since 1985, 1986. I don’t think we’ve ever had a fight,” the Bronx-born Essman tells the Daily News. “We happen to be extremely good friends. We’re very close.” David, creator and coproducer of “Curb,” stars as a version of himself on the Los Angeles-set show, while Essman plays foulmouthed Susie Greene,

wife of Larry’s agent Jeff Greene (Jeff Garlin). “One of the reasons why we can speak to each other in this despicable way,” Essman says, “is because we know that we’re playing. They’ll say ‘action’ and we’ll be screaming and yelling and cursing. Then they’ll say ‘cut’ and we’ll be like, ‘OK, where do you wanna go for lunch?’ “It’s so much fun to have that freedom to have somebody who’s your really good friend and then just scream and yell and curse at them and there’s no meaning behind it,” she adds. Essman, 66, also says that the actors have an added appreciation of each other thanks to their lines being improvised around a rough outline David writes. “Because it’s improvised, you really have to have a lot of trust and that has to be built in,” she says. “So we have a tremendous trust and respect for one another and that helps us to scream, yell

Larry and Jeff then mock her until she calls her husband’s friend “rude.” “There’s a lot more to that scene later on than

just the toasting,” Essman explains. “The outline would say something like, ‘Susie gives a toast. Larry doesn’t look her in the eye and she gets mad at him.’ That’s all. The rest of it, we just go. How I get mad at him, what I say when I’m mad at him, none of that is written down. That’s just the freedom that I get in this part, which is why I love it so much.” Essman adds that the stars usually film a lot of different takes to give the editors options for

“Yeah, we know that. You were right. Go on.” Storytelling is going to make a big shift happen in a big way in the future, he wrote. His special is kind of a shift from the old and more toward the new. “When I pick standup back up again, it’ll be something different, and brand new. Plus I’ll have all new stories to tell,” Weber wrote.

He’s also discovered a few typographical errors. They are all part of life’s journey, he said. Paris in the past has taken some of his Super Bowl mementos, including trophies, to events such as book fairs. A trophy or two may make the trip to Fairfield. If they do, Paris said he will probably keep them hidden until he learns if bringing them out is kosher. Paris, 61, has been involved in programs such as Nancy Reagan’s

Myles Weber is stepping aside from stand-up comedy after recording a show this weekend. They have performed this experience to Selena fans across the country. The show promises to take audience members back to 1995 within seconds of the first song. In two shows May 15, performers bring the hilarious Broadway play celebrating women, “Menopause The Musical,” to the stage. Four women at a lingerie sale have nothing in common but a black lace bra and memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, not enough sex, too much

sex and more. This musical parody is set to classic tunes from the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. Individual show ticket prices range from $50 to $66.

whatever they may want to play up. “So sometimes we just go on really long and then they just cut it for what they need,” she says. “One of the reasons we do so many takes is because Larry starts giggling all the time.” This season’s guest stars include Jon Hamm, Seth Rogen, Woody Harrelson, Lucy Liu and Tracey Ullman. “I did a whole bunch of stuff with Tracey Ullman. I absolutely loved working with her,” Essman said. “She’s in a few different episodes. That was just a dream. I’ve never met her before. She’s so committed and she has no vanity whatsoever.” Essman and David met on the New York comedy club scene in the ‘80s and despite the show’s sunny California backdrop, Essman still lives in New York. “I’m an Upper West Sider,” she says proudly. Essman says that when she was a child, her grandmother lived across the “Just Say No,” to speaking at a fellow Bubba, Bill Clinton, event. The Kentucky native has served as a sports analyst for Channel 7 TV in San Francisco and cohosted a weekly talk show on KNBR radio. He produced a special segment called “Behind the Face Mask.” He has anchored sports. He was a special segment reporter and a producer of a sports piece titled “Heart of a Champion.” Paris also had a segment on the 49ers Total Access Show called “Cooking with Bubba.” And he is an ordained minister serving as an evangelist. He has also penned a

street from where Yankee Stadium now stands, which was then a park near the previous stadium. “So, whenever I go to Yankee Stadium, which I do a lot, I go right near Gate 4 and I wave to her apartment,” Essman says. “I spent a lot of time there when I was a kid and I remember sitting on the fire escape looking into the stadium. Nobody ever took me because they said I was a girl.” Essman got her start in stand-up comedy, a job that’s been the focus of a lot of attention recently after comic Dave Chappelle took heat for his recent Netflix special, “The Closer,” for what some have called transphobic jokes. “It’s such a balancing act,” Essman says. “Political correctness could be so deadly to comedy because that’s the nature of what we do, is to offend. At the same time, you don’t want to be insensitive or hurtful to anyone. So it’s really such a balancing act. children’s book.

Unemployment tumbles, jobs outside county Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — There were fewer Solano County residents employed by local companies in September than in August, but there were more individuals with jobs and the unemployment rate dropped a full percentage point. The jobless rate for Septem-

ber was 6.3%, down from 7.3% in August, the Labor Market Division of the state Employment Development Department reported Friday. It was the lowest unemployment rate in Solano County since March 2020 when the rate was 4.6%, and compares to a 10.1% rate in September 2020. The report shows 189,700 Solano residents had

jobs in September, up from 188,500 in August, but the number of local jobs dropped from 137,400 to 137,300. Local employers had added 1,300 jobs from July to August, according to the EDD. There were about 2,000 fewer residents – 12,899 compared to 14,900 – seeking unemployment benefits, the EDD reported. The private education and

health services arena added 700 jobs, pushed by health care and social assistance agencies, while local education added 400 jobs. On the other end of the spectrum, restaurants lost 400 jobs as did food service and drinking places, the EDD reported. The state unemployment rate was reported at 6.4%, down from 7.5%. That national rate

was 4.6%, down from 5.3%. Solano ranked 41st among California’s 58 counties, with the lowest rate, 3.6%, reported in Marin County, and the highest rate, 18.1%, reported in Imperial County. Solano had the highest unemployment among the nine Bay Area counties. The next closest was Contra Costa County at 5.5%, the EDD reported.

FAIRFIELD — The Wiseman Company has sold the first Class A office building it developed to Pensacola Residential LLC. The sale of the 40,000-square-foot Corporate Plaza, located at 1261 Travis Blvd., fetched $11.5 million. Procuring broker Billy Yeh, in a press release, noted the purchase of the building as a strategic acquisition, with the building’s 100% full occupancy and strong combination of Class A medical and corporate tenants. Corporate Plaza’s establishment as a landmark building within Solano County and Fairfield provided a great diversification option to the investors of Pensacola Residential LLC, who already own industrial and medical buildings in Solano and Sacramento counties, Yeh said in the press release. Yeh said this move by Pensacola Residential LLC is the first step toward new developments and acquisitions by the investment group he represents. “We are excited to acquire this great asset and maintain this building’s legacy for the Fairfield community,” Yeh said in the press release. “By retaining The Wiseman Company as the property manager, we intend to continue the Class A service and experience to which the tenants have become accustomed. We are local and committed to growing and serving the community, as The Wiseman Company has done over the years.” The development of Corporate Plaza is attributed to the early vision of The Wiseman Company’s CEO,

The Wiseman Corporate Plaza at 1261 Travis Blvd. Doyle Wiseman, who grew up in Fairfield. Recognizing the need for a Class A, professional office building, Wiseman developed Corporate Plaza to provide an amenity for the community. “We developed Corporate Plaza in 1989, the first multi-tenant Class A office building in Solano County,” Wiseman said in the press release. “Our architects created a ‘timeless design,’ using carnelian granite slabs to enhance the landmark at this prominent Fairfield intersection. I am a bit sad to be letting Corporate Plaza go, and pleased that the new owners, also a local family, appreciate the building and the professionals within as much as we do. The good news for The Wiseman Company is that this sale allows us to build our 13th building, 5000 Wiseman Way, in Green Valley, next spring.” Zen Hunter-Ishikawa represented the seller in this transaction. The sale was finalized in late September.

David Grant personnel to shine light on cancer Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — November is Men’s Cancer Awareness Month, also known as Movember, when men often grow out their mustaches in support. The month brings awareness to prostate cancer (blue ribbon) and testicular cancer (purple ribbon). The David Grant Medical Center cancer team will put on its fourth annual Men’s Cancer Health Fair, and they encourage all who are able to grow out their mustaches in support and wear blue or purple. Activities will occur from 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 18 outside of the base commissary main entrance, where an informational table will staffed by members of the multidisciplinary cancer team, as well as population health experts. They will be there to promote men’s cancer awareness, to include screening, prevention and education. Free reusable goodie bags will be given out, base hospital officials report in a press release. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with one in nine American men diagnosed in his lifetime, and testicular cancer most often occurring in men in their 20s and 30s. Hospital officials report that it is imperative that men know their risk factors, signs and symptoms, specifically: n Family history. Any first degree relatives with prostate or testicular cancer? At what age? Any genetic testing performed? Any other cancers in the family? n For prostate cancer: Start having digital rectal exams and PSA bloodwork done every year starting at age 40. n For testicular cancer: If you feel any abnormalities in the testes (masses, pain, swelling), let your primary care doctor know immediately, as testicular cancer is highly curable when caught early. For those diagnosed with prostate or testicular cancer, David See Cancer, Page B9

349th AMW Public Affairs

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — When a call was put out across the U.S. Air Force to aid in the evacuation of approximately 124,000 people out of Afghanistan this August, the Reserve citizen airmen of the 349th Air Mobility Wing at Travis Air Force Base answered that call. With their active duty counterparts at the 60th Air Mobility Wing, the reservists deployed in support of Operation Allies Refuge in mid-August, facilitating one of the largest rapid air evacuations in U.S. history. Night and day, for more than two weeks, U.S. citizens, Special Immigrant Visa applicants and vulnerable Afghans were airlifted to safety. By the end of that month, 349th Air Mobility Wing aircrews flying the C-17 Globemaster III, C-5M Super Galaxy and KC-10 Extender helped evacuate thousands of people from Kabul. “I’m immensely proud of our aircrews, maintenance, security, medical and support personnel for all their hard work, long hours and sacrifices that helped us succeed in this incredibly difficult mission,” said Col. Lee E. Merkle, 349th Air Mobility Wing commander. Seasoned aircrews faced new and often frustrating challenges as they toiled tirelessly during the final two weeks of August to move people to safety in other countries. As one of the wing’s 73 aircrew members that flew on these missions, Maj. Dominic Calderon, a C-17 pilot with the 301st Airlift Squadron, served as an aircraft

Reserve Citizen Airmen from the 349th Air Mobility Wing at Travis Air Force Base wait to board a C-5M Super Galaxy for a mission supporting the Afghanistan evacuation, Aug. 21. commander during the deployment. He and his crew were initially tasked with delivering the 82nd Airborne Division to help secure Hamid Karzai International Airport, however the mission changed significantly when Kabul fell Aug. 15. “We weren’t planning for any passengers or cargo out of Kabul,” Calderon recalled. “Our mission was changed to bring passengers; in fact, evacuees, out of Afghanistan.” Reserve citizen airman train constantly to prepare themselves for any type of situation, and while Calderon and his crew were a good mix of seasoned

and young aircrew members, some situations test even the most prepared. “The conditions that day were like none I had ever seen,” said Calderon, who was flying in his fifth deployment in the Middle East. “The airfield was breached and there were mass crowds entering the airfield. Still, the crew performed well under enormous pressure. I couldn’t be more proud of the way the entire crew operated.” Working relentlessly under rapidly evolving circumstances, they ultimately departed safely and airlifted 150 evacuees to safety in Qatar.

With the many trials, there were also many good lessons taken away from the operation, which was later renamed Operation Allies Welcome. “There are a lot of things to be gleaned, and a lot of things to be learned from it,” said Calderon. “As an example, I think that there will be more emphasis placed on non-combatant evacuations in the years to come. We learned a lot about that, and how to efficiently configure the aircraft, so hopefully skills related to those type of missions and mission sets will improve.” See 349th, Page B9

60th APS hosts visit, KC-46 loading operations Senior Airman Alexander Merchak

60th Air Mobility Public Affairs

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Members County of King International AirportBoeing Field, Air Mobility Command and Air Force Materiel Command visited the 60th Aerial Port Squadron Oct. 7-9 at Travis Air Force Base to evaluate cargo operations on the KC-46A Pegasus. “We have been running cargo on this airframe for quite a while now… the other bases are not really utilizing them,” said Nicholas Hurd, 60th Aerial Port Squadron cargo scheduler. “We are the only aerial port that puts cargo on the KC-46A Pegasus, flying it out to the pacific.” Boeing, Air Mobility Command and Air Force Materiel Command personnel toured the Aerial Port Squadron warehouse

Senior Airman Alexander Merchak/U.S. Air Force

Members of the 60th Aerial Port Squadron load cargo into a KC-46A Pegasus at Travis Air Force Base, Oct. 8. and saw firsthand how the base’s aerial port configures and loads cargo onto a KC-46A. A Boeing representative explained that getting cargo on the KC-46 from A to B is half the mission — we are here to learn how Travis plans, configures and loads

cargo so the Air Force has a better product and we deliver a better product. “Having Boeing see us loading the KC-46A Pegasus in action was very beneficial for us,” said Hurd. “They saw the issues we had when loading and got to experience what it is like

handling cargo from the perspective of the boom operators.” The 60th Aerial Port Squadron’s first mission with a KC-46A Pegasus was Aug. 22, 2019, and the squadron has used the aircraft on a monthly basis since. Most recently and

during the visit, the 60th Aerial Port Squadron loaded 21,820 pounds of cargo as part of a real-world mission flown to Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, demonstrating the process from start to finish. “We have so much more cargo that we can move, there was just a little direction missing and that was cleared up with this visit,” said Hurd. The information gathered from this visit will be used to update current operation procedures with the end goal to implement these changes for all aerial ports across the Air Force. “The KC-46 is a really well-rounded, multi-capable system for the Air Force and it is able to take cargo using more configurations than the KC-10,” said Hurd. “I think this is going to be great for the Air Force once we iron the kinks out.”

349th From Page B8 Lt. Col Troy Ogle, 301st Airlift Squadron commander, and his aircrew flew three missions in and out of Afghanistan. A suicide bombing took place Aug. 26 at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, killing at least 169 Afghan civilians and 13 U.S. service members. “The first time we landed was shortly after the bombing,” said Ogle. “That night we moved over 400 people out of Kabul.” The evacuees Ogle and his aircrew transported that night were mostly families, many of whom came onboard with whatever they could carry, he said. On follow-up missions, Ogle’s aircrew helped airlift equipment and

vehicles, including a U.S. Army Chinook helicopter with over a dozen U.S. Army soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division. Their final mission took place Aug. 30, as a backup aircraft during the final phases of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Other aircrews participating in the mission also faced their share of challenges during the operation. A 312th Airlift Squadron aircrew with Lt. Col. Michael Drew serving as aircraft commander was tasked to deliver a medical personnel unit and equipment to Kabul. Upon completing the mission, more taskings came their way, which Drew said they gladly accepted. “Everybody on the crew had signed up to do a regular mission,” said Drew. “But when they learned that they were going to be able to take part in the

Afghan refugee evacuation, they were extremely excited and motivated and leaned forward.” Drew said there were times when things weren’t going well, but everyone knew and felt the gravity and importance of their mission. “There was no grumbling. Everybody was very understanding of the nature of the situation that we were in. Everybody was all pulling in the same direction. I’ve never seen anything like it.” Despite their immense efforts under the taxing conditions, the aircrew faced some unforeseen frustrations. Drew recalled a particularly deflating moment when he and his crew loaded approximately 400 evacuees on their aircraft, but were then directed to transfer the passengers onto a different aircraft. Additionally, there were plenty of other logistical hurdles,

such as simply getting fuel, which was particularly challenging because many of the support agencies were overwhelmed, and factors beyond anyone’s control were taking place, he said. Despite the many frustrations with the conditions, the 32-year Air Force pilot was very appreciative of the efforts of the crews on the ground. 349th Air Mobility Wing Air Reserve technicians also played a critical role in the initial days of the evacuation efforts. In an impressive total force effort, the Air Reserve technicians enabled the rapid deployment of KC-10 Extender aircraft and 60 Air Mobility Wing aircrews, said Maj. Paul Overdiek, 749th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron commander. In addition to long days the Reservist knucklebusters put in, they had to scramble to adapt the aircraft for the mission

before departure. “The KC-10 is normally used solely as a tanker,” said Overdiek. “It can also be used as a cargo airplane, but that rarely happens.” The crews used a floor load, allocating floor space on the aircraft for the evacuees to sit on. “I’m incredibly proud of the work that we did and how we supported our active duty partners. To know that we gave them the best airplane possible is our piece of Team Travis’s success,” Overdiek said. “If these experiences have taught us anything, it’s the about importance of maintaining our readiness and resilience,” said Merkle. “Words fail to express the deep pride I feel for these Airmen who answered our nation’s call, and found ways to succeed during what was likely among the toughest weeks of their careers.”

Vikings put it together in 67-6 victory over Royals Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Vanden High football coach Sean Murphy has been waiting for his team to put together four good quarters. The Vikings came close Friday night. Armijo had the misfortune of providing the opposition as Vanden celebrated homecoming with a 67-6 Monticello Empire League victory at George A. Gammon Field. Even with a running

clock in the fourth quarter, during which the Vikings (7-2, 3-1 MEL) scored touchdowns on two of their three offensive plays, they piled up their third-highest point total ever and the highest since a 69-6 win over Mira Loma in 1998. That game 23 years ago also marked the only Vanden win with a bigger margin of victory. The 573 total yards Vanden amassed was the fourth-most in school history and the highest total since getting

581 against Vista del Lag0 in a 2016 playoff game, while quarterback Tre Dimes threw for 337 yards, fourth-most by a Vikings QB, and five touchdowns. “I think for the first time this year we played, not perfect for four quarters, but we put four quarters together,” Murphy said. “We were playing with effort in the whole four quarters, so that’s a positive, especially as we hopefully move into the playoffs.”

For the Royals (1-8, 0-4) it was a disappointing showing after holding MEL title and playoff contender Wood scoreless in the first half last week. The 67 points surrendered tied for the fifth-most in school history, the 61-point margin of defeat was fifth biggest, the 337 passing yards allowed were third most and the 573 total yards were 10th most. “It’s tough man, tough loss right there. tough pill to swallow,” Armijo coach Don Mosley said.

“They’re a good team, it’s tough, just tough. I have no words to describe it. It hurt, like, we’re better than we played. it’s tough right there.” Vanden kicked off but needed just 27 seconds to get on the scoreboard. Jayden Robinson intercepted a pass on Armijo’s first offensive play and on the Vikings’ second play, Dimes threw a play-action pass that Jamai East turned into a 59-yard touchdown. The Vikings added

touchdowns – in fewer than six minutes – on a 2-yard Dimes run, a 50-yard pass from Dimes to running back Cameron Fisherman on a wheel route, and a 25-yard punt return by Robert Breed. Diego Nunez-Smith added the conversion after all four TDs and had nine on the night. With Vanden poised to score again, the Armijo defense and offense came up with their biggest plays See Vikings, Page B14

’Dogs clinch tie for MEL title in win over Rodriguez Nick DeCicco

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY REPUBLIC

FAIRFIELD — Vacaville High secured a piece of its fifth straight Monticello Empire League title Friday at Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium with a 42-6 victory over Rodriguez. The loss dropped the host Mustangs (7-2 overall, 2-2 MEL) out of contention for the MEL crown. Rodriguez head coach Myles King said after the game that “it came down to execution.” “Against a strong program like Vacaville, you’re not going to get many chances and when you do get one, you have to take it and you have to execute,” King said. “We had chances to make

We didn’t make them.” The Bulldogs (7-2, 4-0) never trailed, blowing the game open in the second quarter with a trio of touchdowns. Leading 7-0 after

Darian Leon-Guerrero scooted around the left side of the line from 2 yards out in the first quarter, Vacaville quarterback Ryan Vaughan threw to Leon-Guerrero for the first of his three TD passes on the night.

To give the Bulldogs a 14-0 lead, Leon-Guerrero plowed over a Rodriguez defender at the goal line. Leon-Guerrero led all rushers with 99 yards on 16 totes. Vacaville escalated its lead to 21-0 four minutes later when Vaughan burst through the line from 1 yard out on a QB sneak. Vaughan hit a wide open Anthony Wiley for the Bulldogs’ third TD in the second, a 34-yard touchdown. On their second play of the second half, Vacaville pushed the needle to 35-0 when Timothy Plowman ran a slant and grabbed Vaughan’s pass for an 11-yard score. The Mustangs, too, relied heavily on the pass. Meadows completed See ’Dogs, Page B7

Can 49ers finally turn their mantra into reality vs. Colts? Tribune Content Agency Kyle Shanahan’s former boss, Dan Quinn, has often joked that he speaks in bumper stickers: Do what we do. It’s about the ball. Arrive violently. Do right longer. That last one particularly resonated with Shanahan when he was the Falcons’ offensive coordinator and Quinn was Atlanta’s head coach. Shanahan brought the mantra to the 49ers when he was hired in 2017, but it has only been this season that many of his players have invoked it when speaking with reporters. “It’s not about finding a new identity,” left tackle Trent Williams said Monday when discussing the 49ers’ three-game losing streak. “It’s just who can do right longer.” Sounds good. But what does it mean? “It’s basically – how long can you go doing the right things?” Shana-

han said. “It’s not beating yourself. I say it to our team a lot. I’ve said it a lot here, probably in the last three games. So I’m sure players have been echoing it a little bit to you guys.” The message that stresses consistency keeps getting repeated because the 49ers have done poorly too often en route to their 2-3 start. Their next chance to do right longer will come Sunday night when they host the Colts (2-4) at Levi’s Stadium in a game that could help clarify whether the 49ers’ issues are correctable – or provide more evidence that all that preseason Super Bowl chatter was misguided. The 49ers, even with their ongoing injury issues, are in a good position to beat Indianapolis, whose victories have come against teams that are currently 1-5 (Texans, Dolphins). The 49ers are coming off a bye, playing at home and are 3 1/2 -point favorites.

“We have everybody that we need,” inside linebacker Fred Warner said. “We’re not looking outside to try to get somebody different. . . . We just need our guys – and it starts with me – we need everyone to buy in. To recommit and play their best ball. That’s what we need to win games, just be consistent.” The 49ers have been consistent in their inability to play consistently well. They have failed to score in the first 29 minutes in three of their past four games. The other game, a season-opening 41-33 win at winless Detroit, was marked by a horrific finish: They were outscored 16-0 in the final two minutes, and Detroit had the ball at the 49ers’ 24-yard line in the final seconds. Why have the 49ers failed to play well for extended stretches? Shanahan referenced the fact See 49ers, Page B14

Wildcats romp past Falcons, 70-0 VACAVILLE — Scoring in nearly ever conceivable way, the Will C. Wood High football team tied its second-biggest margin of victory and second-biggest shutout with a 70-0 blanking of Fairfield at Wildcat Stadium, Friday. “We came out and executed in the first half,” said Wood coach Jacob Wright, whose squad led 50-0 at the break. “That was good.” The Wildcats (7-2, 3-1 Monticello Empire League) scored on a punt blocked by Charlie Horton that was recovered in the end zone by Manny Delatorre; on a 68-yard punt return by Warren Soli; and on a 41-yard interception return by Armaan Nagra. Wood also scored in more conventional ways, including receptions of 69 and 30 yards by Jayjay See Local, Page B7

Bulldogs, Vikings both draw SJS No. 4 seedings FAIRFIELD — The Sac-Joaquin Section volleyball playoff brackets are out and Vacaville and Vanden, the top two finishers in the Monticello Empire League, are both No. 4 seeds – in different divisions. Vacaville, the MEL champion, is in Division II and hosts 13th-seeded Rio Americano of Sacramento (22-12) on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The Bulldogs (20-3), who defeated the Raiders 23-25, 25-20, 15-8 in tournament play on Sept. 18, would also be guaranteed a second home match with a victory. Vanden (19-7) is in Division III and takes on No. 13 Pioneer of Woodland (10-13), also on Tuesday at 7 p.m. “I am pleased with our seeding of No. 4,” Vikings coach Cindy Scolavino said. “This will give us a home court and that is always a bonus. This group of players have worked very hard this year and I believe they

have not capped on their abilities. We are strong at the net, attacking at every angle. Our ground defense never gives up on a ball and we are quick to react in digging up the hard driven balls. These players like and respect each other and it transfers to their court play. We will need to be on our game and start quick with our attack. We know that each team we face will bring a different challenge to the court which we plan on meeting head on.” Also from the MEL, Rodriguez (10-17) is in a Division II play-in match on Monday as the 17th seed and plays at No. 16 Bear Creek of Stockton (19-11), the San Joaquin Athletic Association champion, with the winner moving on to play at top-seeded Tracy on Tuesday. Three area teams are in the Division V bracket with No. 3 Vacaville Christian (18-3), the Sierra Delta League champion, hosting 14th-seeded Buckingham Charter (10-6), while No. 12 Rio Vista (10-8) is at fifth-seeded Stone Ridge Christian of Merced (20-8), both on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Kaiser helps serve up 3-0 Solano sweep of Alameda ALAMEDA — Kailyn Kaiser was 27-of-27 on serves with 15 aces and the Solano Community College dropped just 13 points to stay unbeaten in the Bay Valley Conference by soaring to a 25-4, 25-7, 25-2 victory over Alameda, Friday. “Kailyn was a serving machine,” Falcons coach Darla Williams said. “In set No. 3 she was our second server and served all the way to 22-1. . . . We served tough and our offense was explosive, only two mistakes on our total attempts. (The) team hit just below .600. (The)

team served 95% with 37 aces. Alameda is a developing team/ program; we were able to stay focused and play solid ball.” Also for Solano (14-11, 7-0 BVC), Mylei Moli led the offense with seven kills and four aces; Sammy Brown added five kills and five aces; Dani Rydjord served 11-of-11 with five aces; Chris Rigney Cruz chipped in four kills and two blocks; and Anaya Rodriguez led with 10 assists. “Overall a full team effort with everyone contributing,” Williams said. The Falcons host Yuba of Marysville on Wednesday.

Elementary/Middle school flag football

Dragons rally late for 8-7 victory FAIRFIELD — Trailing in the final minute, the Suisun Valley K-8 School flag football team got a touchdown and a 2-point conversion to earn an 8-7 victory over David A. Weir K-8 Preparatory Academy. After a scoreless first half, thanks in great part to the solid defensive play of Suisun Valley’s Jack Giangrasso, Jack Meador, Daniel Mancuso Maranan and Cade Snoke, Weir scored a touchdown and a 1-point conversion to take a 1-point lead. With time running short, Dragons quarterback Morgan Eikenberry worked his team down the field and eventually found Nate Parkinson in the end zone. A defender deflected the pass, but Parkinson still managed to haul it in. See Local, Page B14

Local: Report Warriors rookie Kuminga clears hurdle, but won’t return this week Fairfield Bocce Bocce

From Page B7

Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors got a bit of good news Saturday before departing to Sacramento. Rookie Jonathan Kuminga was cleared to participate in fullteam practice, the team said in an update Saturday afternoon. Kuminga strained the right patellar tendon in his right knee of the Warriors’ preseason game Oct. 6 against the Nuggets and has sat out every subsequent practice.

The Warriors said Kuminga is making “good progress” but that he would miss the team’s next three games. He’ll be re-evaluated again Friday, the day after Golden State hosts Memphis in the final of those contests. He participated in non-contact drills Saturday, Kerr said. Kuminga, 19, was the Warriors’ top choice in the past NBA draft with the No. 7 overall pick. But he’s been forced to ride the bench in street clothes for his first NBA games,

foundation at an early age, just like Steph and Draymond and Andre did 10, 15 years ago, that’s what James, JK and Moses (Moody), that’s what they have to do.” Before the injury, which he said occurred coming down from a block attempt, Kuminga had made a name for himself in training camp with a strong work ethic and more refined game than expected. “He’s the swaggiest guy walking around,” Draymond Green said recently, with a laugh.

seated beside James Wiseman and Klay Thompson, who also continue to recover from injuries. Kuminga has been working with assistant coach Kenny Atkinson, and Kerr said this week that the rookie was “ramping it up quite a bit” in his workouts. “Jonathan is really an exciting prospect and so young,” Kerr said. “The young guys are just learning what this league is about, and this league is about work. It’s about figuring out how to build that

of the night. Isiah Medina stepped in front of a Dimes screen pass and returned the interception 43 yards to the Vikings’ 20-yard line. Three plays later, Armijo quarterback Eddie Concepcion lofted a pass over a Vanden defender that was hauled in by a leaping Kaiba Washington for a touchdown that made it 28-6 with 9:40 to go in the first half. An attempt to run in the conversion resulted in a fumble. The Royals had little to celebrate the rest of the

first half as the Vikings added a 33-yard field goal by Nunez-Smith and touchdown passes from Dimes to Michael Belk of 1 and 11 yards to up the lead to 45-6 at halftime. Vanden scored on three of its final four plays of the game, an 81-yard Dimes to East connection, a 53-yard run by Christopher Oney and a 2-yard run by Jordan Jones that was set up by a 33-yard run by Jones. Dimes wound up completing 11-of-19 passes with East getting 140 yards on his two TD receptions and

TK Carradine scored the first two touchdowns, with LeVon Smith running for the third.

Suisun Valley coach Daniel Kimble decided to go for the 2-point conversion and with Eikenberry avoiding a strong rush, the QB hit Martin Elliott in the back of the end zone for the winning points. Solid offensive line play by Wesley Bernard, Jack Lucido, Martin Elliot and Jack Green helped make the comeback happen.

FAIRFIELD — The Suisun Valley K-8 School volleyball team earned a hard-fought 2-0 victory over David A. Weir Preparatory Academy with a third set added for fun that provided some spirited competition. The Dragons, who remain unbeaten, got solid play from Kamryn Bush, Meliya Pegg, Riley Rickabaugh, Kallee Dorsey and Joy Jacobson. Coaches for all teams are encouraged to send their results in to sports@dailyrepublic.net.

From Page B6 that, among other issues, they are tied for 32nd in the NFL in takeaways (two), rank 25th in third-down conversion percentage (35.6%) and haven’t had a run longer than 16 yards since Week 2. “We’ve got to get more turnovers on defense, have to be better in the red zone there,” Shanahan said. “On offense, I think we have to be much better in situational football. We have to be much better throwing and catching. I’d like to generate a few more explosive runs. ... And then it just comes down to execution in some real critical situations.” The big question: Do they have the personnel to fix those areas? For example, their lack of long runs is tied to the absence of Raheem Mostert, one of the NFL’s fastest running backs who has been lost for the season because of a knee injury. And their inability to create takeaways is strongly connected to their lack of consis-

tent pass-rush pressure. Will another defensiveline starter besides Nick Bosa (five sacks) emerge? And their thirddown maladies relate to the unspectacular performances of quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance, whose combined passer rating (94.9) has the 49ers ranked 19th as a team in that category. Is Garoppolo, at 29, about to make notable improvement? And is Lance, at 21, prepared to elevate the 49ers at that position, if given a chance? Another issue: The 49ers are averaging 72.6 penalty yards a game, largely because they rank second in defensive pass-interference penalties (eight). And those pass-interference infractions are a reflection on the state of their cornerback corps without headliner Jason Verrett (knee), who is out for the season. Yes, the 49ers need to do right longer. But the phrase, in essence, means to play well consistently. Good teams do that. Lesser teams can’t.
