Agriculture interests want Solano to ‘slow down’ on ag zoning uses Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Nut Tree started as a fruit stand and became an international destination that helped put Vacaville and Solano County on the map – the touristspending map. Without some flexibility built into the agriculture industry, that progress may have never happened. Still, there has long been a noisy debate in Solano County about what defines agricultural tourism, and how to set the boundaries. “We already have pushback from people who live out there,” Lisa Howard, part of a winemaking family in Suisun Valley, told the Board of Supervisors at its Feb. 1 meeting. The reference is to often longtime residents who bought their homes to live in the country setting, and are now watching concert and special event facilities, tourist rental homes and what they see as business and commercial interests coming into their rural residential neighborhoods. And with that influx of “ag-tourism” comes more noise, more traffic and less of the lifestyle they covet. Ironically, it is now some of

those ag-tourism interests that are concerned that the door is being opened too wide. Howard and other members of the agriculture community want to make sure the county defines what ag-tourism is not – such as billiards, carnivals and amusement and water parks and general entertainment that does not promote ag producers like the concerts and other events do at the wineries of Suisun Valley. The Solano County Farm Bureau and other agricultural interests also want to make sure the proposed language for the amended zoning ordinance is precise enough so it cannot be interpreted in the future differently than how it is interpreted now because of the well-worn paths of the industry. Sean Favero, president of the Farm Bureau, said he believes the

proposed changes are significant enough to warrant a full environmental review. “The concerns and feedback we are getting is we are making more than technical changes,” Favero told the board. Those issues and others are why the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will not vote on the text changes for agriculture zones, and instead deal only with the changes in the text related to the highwaycommercial zones. That public hearing is set for 2 p.m. The zoning issues were separated in part because there are things “we are looking at,” Supervisor Jim Spering said at the last meeting about the highway-commercial corridors. Spering, in a phone interview Friday, said there is not a specific project being touted, but rather the county wants to identify the areas in the unincorporated area that could be utilized for economic development, and paired with housing options that could serve that area’s workforce. He said there are some larger intersections that would be ideal to have collaborated county-city projects, and noted business parks that See Zoning, Page A9

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday will consider placing a one-eighth cent sales tax increase on the June 7 ballot. The general transaction and use tax is expected to generate $9 million annually for wildfire safety needs. The measure includes a citizens’ oversight committee with annual independent audits. However, the draft ordinance also includes the phrasing, “Solano County can better meet the needs of its population with an additional local source of revenue to fund essential county services,” and Supervisor Erin Hannigan has raised the prospect of using a portion of the funds for improved public access to county parks and open spaces. The sales tax is the last item on the agenda,

Police chiefs share virtual forum for talk on diversity in Solano County Susan Hiland

SHILAND@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Improving relationships with police and members of the community, specifically the African American community, was the topic of virtual discussion Saturday at the monthly Tri-City NAACP meeting. The online forum hosted about 45 members and visitors, drawing a bit of a crowd for the session. The police chiefs from Fairfield, Suisun City and Vacaville spoke about the topic – Community Policing and Diversying Our Law Enforcement Agencies, something that has been on the minds of many people in all three communities. Ian Schmutzler is the new police chief for the Vacaville Police Department. It will be his one-month anniversary at his new position in a couple of days. He had a lot of thoughts on the

topic of the day. As a Fairfield native and lifelong Solano County resident, he has seen a lot of changes over the years and believes more is still needed. “From the beginning, I wanted to focus on getting back to basic foundations of policing,” he said. “Like making the community feel safe and peaceful.” Schmutzler said he believes to achieve this, it is important to create relationships with the community by looking for opportunities to connect with people. He said he wants to see police officers engaging through different avenues other than just showing up for a call. “Showing up to community events even on their days off, because they want to do,” he said,”is coming from the heart.” Vacaville recently has See Chiefs, Page A9

In between the public sessions, the board is scheduled to meet in closed session to discuss the appointment of a new county administrator and to discuss compensation for the position.

It’s also an attempt to note Skyjackings. You couldn’t that four scary things that get through a week in the 1970s

without there being a plane hijacked (cleverly called “skyjacked”). Maybe to Cuba, which seemed crazy. Maybe to Rome. Maybe to an African country. Heck, D.B. Cooper became a legend by hijacking a plane in Portland, getting $200,000 and jumping out over southwestern Washington. When was the last time you heard about a plane being hijacked? Sept. 11, 2001, changed everything. Now we have intense security at airports and anyone who hijacks a plane is much more likely to be killed by the other passengers than to arrive safely at their destination. Skyjackings have largely disappeared from our consciousness. There were 130 American skyjackings between 1968 and 1972. You know how many American

airplanes have been skyjacked since Sept. 11, 2001? Zero. Plane crashes. Some still happen, but did you know there were two U.S. commercial plane crashes in 2021, both minor (at least to those of us not onboard)? Compare that to 40 years ago, when there were seven fatal crashes of American commercial airliners, killing a combined 195 passengers. Heck, for much of my childhood, it felt like a rock star was killed in a plane crash every couple of months. There has been one passenger fatality in a U.S. commercial airline crash since 2019. Commercial passenger planes – at least here in the U.S. – almost never crash. Serial killers. When was the last time you heard about a serial killer? I guess it could be happening, but we would likely

notice it. Think about the 1970s and 1980s, when we had a stream of serial killers. There was Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. There was Juan Corona and Jeffrey Dahmer. There was Richard Ramirez and Wayne Williams. There was even the Zodiac killer, who we never identified. Was there something about that era that led to serial killers? So yeah, the news is often bad. It feels gloomy. But look on the sunny side: Plane crashes, skyjackings, kidnapping for ransom and serial killers have virtually stopped. That’s one bit of the past that isn’t worth nostalgia.

hatched on Jan. 1. Elmer and Lima, two penguins from the zoo’s colony of 28 birds, were given the egg to incubate and look after by officials who were concerned that breeding pairs at the zoo had “a history of inadvertently breaking their fertilized eggs,” according to a statement released Friday. The zoo said that staff gave the egg to the male penguins Elmer and Lima in a bid to boost the chances of the egg eventually hatching. The two were “exemplary in every aspect of egg care,” the zoo said, adding that the males took it in turns to protect the egg before it hatched. Ted Fox, the zoo’s director, said not all penguin pairs are good at incubating eggs, noting that it “takes practice.” The males have been tending to the chick by feeding it and keeping it warm – acts the

THE WASHINGTON POST

Two male Humboldt penguins who adopted an egg during breeding season are the proud new foster parents of a fuzzy haired chick - and the New York zoo says its firstever same-sex couple to take on this role is doing “great job.” New York’s Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse has for years worked to boost the dwindling population of Humboldt penguins in the wild. This species, which can be found off the coast of Chile and Peru in South America, is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “We have some very exciting news” the zoo wrote on Twitter, as it shared images of the fluffy brown chick which weighed in at 226 grams (8 ounces) during its first health check earlier this month. The chick

zoo says highlights that “non-traditional families do a wonderful job of child-rearing.” “Elmer and Lima’s success is one more story that our zoo can share to help people of all ages and backgrounds relate to animals,” Fox said. And while Elmer and Lima’s same-sex fostering journey is a first for the Rosamond Gifford zoo, other institutions around the world have also reported positive results with same-sex couples fostering eggs. Penguin couples usually take it in turns to protect and nurture an egg, nestling it between their feet and shielding it from cold temperatures and dangers with a fold of skin described by experts as a “fleecy fold of belly plumage.” At an aquarium in Spain, two female Gentoo penguins became first time moms in 2020 and spent time

raising a baby chick they had adopted as an egg. Skipper and Ping, a pair of male king penguins at Berlin Zoo adopted an abandoned egg in 2019. A zoo spokesman told the Berliner Zeitung newspaper at the time that the couple were “behaving like model parents, taking turns to keep the egg warm.” In 2005, the zoo joined the the Species Survival Plan – a program used by zoos and aquariums to protect endangered or threatened animals

in the wild - for Humboldt penguins. Experts say the Humboldt penguin population’s continual decline could be linked to ocean currents and temperatures in the Pacific changing amid the climate crisis along with the mining of their habitats in Chile. Humboldt penguins feed primarily on fish but adults hunting for prey in the wild are being forced to travel further for food due to high commercial fishing demand an oil pollution. Researchers say the pop-

ulation’s habitats have been devastated by fertilizer mining. Humboldt penguins generally live for around 20 years. The Syracuse zoo says it has hatched more than 55 Humboldt chicks so far, and that more chicks could soon be born. Staff there have not ruled out giving Elmer and Lima more parenting responsibilities, saying that the pair would most definitely be top candidates “to foster future eggs.”

Serrano Drive house fire draws agencies from nearby cities Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — A house fire Friday afternoon sent a plume of smoke above the city and drew firefighters from neighboring communities to Fairfield. The fire on the 200 block of Serrano Drive quickly went to a second alarm, the Fire Department reports. Crews from the Suisun City, Vacaville, Vallejo and Benicia fire departments either helped out at the scene or provided station coverage for Fairfield crews committed to the scene. The cause of the fire was under investigation.

VACAVILLE — Lovers, friends and families took a stroll Saturday in Vacaville down streets gleaming on a late winter’s day. “It is just good to get out and see people out,” Pam Brown of Fairfield said as she waited for wine from one of the 16 downtown businesses that opened their doors for a wine tasting walk. She and her husband Mike Brown came with friends Lou and Yolanda Smaldino of Vacaville for a few hours of relaxation. “It’s about getting out and supporting the downtown,” Yolanda Smaldino said. The couples had no plans yet for Valentine’s Day but they were still bouncing around ideas for having friends over for some patio time. The Downtown Vacaville Business Improvement District put on the Vacaville Love Stroll, which is in its fourth year, according to Executive Director Brooke Fox. They had 250 people buy tickets – a sellout for the event. “I think we have 10 tickets left,” Fox said. This was the first time they planned the event for a Saturday – it usually happens on a Thursday – but after missing last year, organizers decided

For the Love Stroll in Downtown Vacaville 16 business opened their doors and set up tables with wine and some free treats for visitors. to try something different and do it earlier in the day for more light and to allow more businesses the opportunity to shine. “It has been just amazing,” Fox said. Mäksē Restaurant was the host business this year, with a special “Pop The Champagne” VIP Experience on the outside patio with live music. The restaurant opened in October. Mäksē Restaurants is pronounced like “moxy,” which means a force of character or determination. Owners changed the spelling, giving it an umlaut to add a sense of uniqueness. The restaurant is billed as a fine dining experience with high-end steaks and seafood, along with a speakeasy called The Storeroom, which features a menu of finger foods and

craft cocktails. Instead of having a player piano, this space has dueling pianos, where two piano players perform popular songs by request and the audience is encouraged to sing along. People have already almost completely booked them out for Valentine’s Day. They plan a sevencourse meal for those who come out. “I think we have like two slots available,” owner Jason Diavatis said. Diavatis is on the Downtown Vacaville Business Improvement District board and was asked if he wanted to be the host for the event. He said he was thrilled to be able to have one of the first events of the new year at his restaurant. “Whatever is good for the downtown is good for the businesses,” he said.

VACAVILLE — The Solano County Water Agency directors will consider the continuation and expansion of the Water Conservation Landscape Assistance Program for individuals who are disabled and lowincome seniors who are resident homeowners.

gation conversion to low water use, new landscape installation, and limited maintenance as determined by SCWA and so long as funding for the program is available,” according to program information online. The program has not been taking new applicants and there is a waiting list. Board members also will consider issues related to the purchase and expansion of its office space with Solano Irrigation District, part of the discussion of which will

He moved to Fairfield, California, in 1978 where he helped open the newly built Anheuser-Busch and ultimately is where he retired after 50-plus years with the company. In March 1987, while working for the brewery, he started a nonprofit organization in which he was the CEO, called Families Helping Families. This was the way he wanted to repay those who helped him overcome drug and alcohol addiction. Every Thanksgiving he and dedicated Anheuser-Busch coworkers made sure that hundreds and hundreds of families were hand-delivered boxes with turkeys so those families wouldn’t go without during the holidays. There was even a FHF cookbook. During back-to-school

time at our local Fairfield park, ‘Dove Park’, he created a fair with a ‘carnivallike atmosphere’ where he supplied all kids with backpacks filled with school supplies, awaiting the school year to start. There were snow cones, popcorn, cotton candy, BBQ hamburgers and hotdogs for the kids as well as raffles for computers and laptops for the school year. William was also the brewery’s mascot, ‘Bud Man’. William was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and a huge influence in the community. Always respected, and a grateful, very humble man, he would give the shirt off his back if he saw fit. He loved fishing and whenever he got the chance, he took his boat named after his youngest daughter, ‘The Rokuya’, out to one of his favorite places - Grizzly Island. He always kept a relaxed and positive outlook on life and always put his family first, and definitely loved spending time with his grandchildren. William Stewart is survived by his two daughters, Xania Stewart and Rukuya Stewart; three granddaughters, Romanda Coleman, Angelique Davis and Oreal Stewart; five great-grandchildren, Rheyjori, Mercedes, London, Vincent and one more new addition.

Garamendi amendments part of ‘American Competes Act’ Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Rep. John Garamendi this week applauded the passage of four key pieces of legislation he authored that were included as amendments to the “America Competes Act.” The “America Competes Act” is a large legislative package to strengthen U.S. supply chains and American manufacturing, advance U.S. scientific excellence and research, and position American interest and values to win on the world stage, according to a press release from Garamendi’s office. Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, said the legislation also supports his 12-year effort to advance “Make it in America” and “Buy American” policies that expand America’s manufacturing sector and rebuild infrastructure using American materials and workers. The legislation passed Friday the U.S. House of Representatives and will now go to the U.S. Senate. Garamendi added four amendments to the legislation that, according to his office, will strengthen America’s economy and competitiveness at home and abroad: n Garamendi No. 89: Adds House Resolution 4996, the “Ocean Shipping Reform Act,” to the legislation. This bipartisan bill from Garamendi and Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-South Dakota, addresses trade imbalances the U.S. has with China and other nations, ensures a more competitive global shipping industry, and tackles the supply chain crisis that is negatively affecting the American economy. This legislation was passed in the House as a standalone bill Dec. 8. n Rep. Jim Costa No. 49 (Garamendi co-sponsored): This amendment

requires a report that reviews the involvement of the People’s Republic of China, state-sponsored companies and companies incorporated in China in the ownership, operation or otherwise involvement in mining or processing facilities in countries from which the U.S. imports minerals, metals and materials, and evaluating the strategic and national security implications for the U.S. of such involvement. n Garamendi No. 90: Inserts Garamendi’s “Special Immigrant Visas for Afghan Fullbright Scholars Act of 2021” into the legislation. The Fullbright act provides special immigrant visas for those Fulbright Scholars currently studying at American universities and former scholars who returned to Afghanistan. It also provides these visas for their legal spouses/ dependents as well as for Afghans who participated in other State Department-sponsored exchange programs. n Garamendi No. 91: Adds the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea, People’s Republic of China, Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran to the list of prohibited “countries of concern” for the loans and loan guarantees under the proposed Critical Supply Chain Resilient Program. Sensitive materials sourced from these same nonallied foreign nations are excluded from Department of Defense procurement. Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, also supported the larger legislation. Garamendi represents the larger geographic portion of Solano County and neighboring Winters in Yolo County, while Thompson represents the Benicia-Vallejo area of Solano county.

Cracks on the tennis courts at Allan Witt Park in Fairfield are visible, but the facility will soon get a resurfacing

upgrade that will be made available by July for tennis, pickleball and futsal.

Allan Witt Park to get a summer facelift for tennis, pickleball, futsal Matt Miller

MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The tennis courts at Allan Witt Community Park are getting a multiplesport facelift, just in time to serve the public by the middle of summer. Public Works staff met with sports court user groups Dec. 20 to discuss the maintenance scope of the existing eight dilapidated tennis courts, said Bill Way, communications director for the city. The decision was made to keep four of the eight for tennis, and convert three from tennis to nine smaller pickleball courts. A futsal court, meanwhile, was previously in the plans. Pickleball is a racquet sport growing in popularity that uses a paddle and a light ball similar to a wiffle ball. Futsal is a high-speed mini-soccer game played by teams on a hard court.

The maintenance project includes crack filling and surface repair, resurfacing the courts, restriping the courts, replacing wind screens, replacing court signs, repairing court fencing as needed and adding additional trash cans. Staff is still evaluating options to determine the optimal pickleball court layout, as well as the possibility of adding pickleball striping to the futsal court for potential overflow. The cost of the project is estimated to be between $250,000 to $350,000, Way said, with funding coming from the Transient Occupancy Tax, better known as Bedroom Tax. The City Council gave its consent in December on the project. The estimated completion date is in July. Public comment at the City Council meetings about the proposed

Dodd introduces prescribed fire fund bill to piggyback off previous legislation Matt Miller MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Sen. Bill Dodd announced legislation Friday that would aid wildfire prevention in California through implementation of a $20 million prescribed fire claims fund. “We know fighting fire with fire is one of the most DODD effective means of prevention, which is why I wrote the law to encourage greater use of this wildfire prevention technique last year,” Dodd, D-Napa, said in a press release. “This new proposal continues our efforts to encourage greater use of prescribed fire by ensuring those who practice this time-tested technique can have some protection from any unintended costs.” Prescribed fire, also known as controlled

burning, has been used for centuries to clear tinder-dry trees and brush that are known to fuel runaway wildfires. Rarely do prescribed fires escape their bounds and cause damage to neighboring properties. If they do, Dodd’s new bill would establish a fund to help cover costs. It is a follow-up to Senate Bill 332, written by Dodd and signed into law last year, which protects landowners and prescribed fire managers from having to pay fire suppression expenses unless they have acted with gross negligence. The bill is sponsored by The Nature Conservancy. Dodd currently represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes allow portions of Solano, Yolo, Napa Sonoma, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties.

new courts was robust at the time, according to previous Daily Republic reporting, with the majority of people hoping Fairfield could bolster its pickleball courts. “The largest contingent at meetings were pickleball players,” Way said. “They were the most vocal.” Speakers said the sport has many fans in Fairfield, with people waiting in line to play due to

limited space availability, according to previous reporting. One resident at the November council said there are “hundreds” of players all over the state. The new futsal court will also provide a different option to the traditional grass game on the “pitch.” Many times people have already been seen playing soccer on one of the courts when the grass at the park is too wet or muddy.

SUISUN CITY — The Solano Transportation Authority board on Wednesday will be updated on the temporary suspension of the Fairfield and Suisun Transit Blue and Green express lines due to driver shortages. The suspension is scheduled to start Feb. 28 with an update scheduled April 13. It was not immediately clear how many riders will be affected by the suspensions.

50 Murray Bass Plan to live

You’re never too old to learn

s we age, we tend to think of learning as a process that only affects young folks. Nothing could be further from the truth. We live in a changing world. There’s something new and different every day. No matter how old we might be, we – you and I – have to adapt to the changes and learn to adjust to the new facts. Think about technology, but it isn’t just the changes in the technical environment. Each day each one of us experiences personal changes. We must adapt to changes in our bodies and abilities, adapt or learn so we are able to plan for tomorrow – or next month, or next year. We change as individuals and the world around us is constantly changing. I’ll give you a few personal illustrations. Politics has or is attempting to take over the education of our kids. Teaching kids how to be successful at one time was what education was about. Not so today. Now politics and technology make huge changes. I just have to learn how to use it to benefit the kids, me and the new computer that accompanies it. Now it is a matter of teaching them truth and how to survive as individuals. I face changes every day, too. I have greater physical and visual limitations. What to do? Learn to live with the new facts of life. I’m not complaining. See Bass, Page A7

Solano’s ‘voice of the disadvantaged, disenfranchised’ retires from CWS TODD R. HANSEN THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

erald Huber described Aaron Crutison as his “voice of consciousness” when the Solano County Board of Supervisors recently recognized the Child Welfare Services director as he heads into retirement. Huber, the director of the Department of Health and Social Services and Crutison’s boss, also described him as the “voice of the disadvantaged and disenfranchised” during his 20-year career in Solano County – and one of only two African-American men to have the title of county Child Welfare Services director in the state. There are four AfricanAmerican women. “And now there is only one (man),” said Crutison, who will turn 58 in three months. Equity, diversity and ethnicity are never far from his heart and mind because as he said in an interview “you don’t have as many Blacks and browns and Asians in social work, but the kids we work with are disproportionately in those groups.” Crutison has been an integral part – within his own department – to help the county work toward recruitment, hiring and retention of workers who better reflect the diverse Solano communities. But, he admits, it is difficult when the pool of prospective employees do not include that diversity. He said that has to start in the colleges and universities to make those course studies more accessible and more attractive to minority students. The state needs to

He said it has been more than 20 years since the state did an assessment about what it takes to be a social worker and what the job entails, and over those two decades, the job description has changed and most definitely broadened with more demands. “So what you have are social workers who are exhausted,” Crutison said. Crutison said he will not be disappointed if the new county administrator – expected to be announced Tuesday – is not an ethnic minority, but he said it is essential

that individual understands the importance of equity and diversity within the county departments. He noted that outgoing administrator Birgitta Corsello, promoted to the post in 2011, is the first woman ever to hold that title in Solano County. “Look how long that took,” he said. Crutison’s last day with the county was

Friday, exactly 20 years from the same date on which he started. His career in social services spans more than 30 years. “Mr. Crutison began his career with Solano County as a program manager in Employment and Eligibility after serving as the Human Services manager in San Mateo County. He later promoted to Social Services administra-

tor, (Employment and Eligibility) administrator and interim deputy director of Employment and Eligibility,” according to a statement written by Rhonda Smith, Child Welfare Services program manager. “In October 2005, he transferred to the (Child Welfare Services) Division as the CWS Social Services administrator where he served through 2012. He then became the interim deputy director of CWS and was later hired as the deputy director in 2013,” Smith wrote. “As the deputy director of CWS for the past nine years, Mr. Crutison has been focused on building a division that honored children and their families. His duty, sincerity, devotion, and loyalty to what was right – even when not popular – built a foundation for greatness and put us on a continuous path of growth.” Born in Memphis, Tennessee, his family relocated to South Central Los Angeles when he was 15. He is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley – a point of pride he came back to several times during his farewell comments, but humble compared to his demonstration of fulfillment as he introduced his wife and children and listed their accomplishments. They are examples, he said, of when children are raised in family settings and provided support and opportunity. He is equally proud See Voice, Page A7

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, February 6, 2022 A7

Bass From Page A6 I’m just telling you the way it is. I am reaching a point where my vision will not be able to support the things I still want to do with my life. Before long I plan to take another trip to the Western Blind Rehabilitation Center in Menlo Park to learn how to function verbally rather than visually. The technology already exists. While we do think of learning, we usually associate it with young people – our kids. While youth can be a very intense learning period in our lives, it may not be the most important. The truth is no matter how old we get, we never lose the need and the opportunity to learn. Life changes constantly. There are times I wish everything would stay the same so I might plan what I am able to do tomorrow.

Voice From Page A6 of his staff and coworkers, many of whom he nurtured. Crutison counts as his two most important accomplishments his efforts to extend support and resources for foster youth who were once all but abandoned after graduating out of the program when they turned 18. Crustison also noted his work in getting youth out of group homes, reducing the number from 41 children in Solano County when he became director of Child Welfare Services to now no more than 10. “I think that is my biggest accomplish-

I am perhaps a foolish old man who is too ambitious. When I told a friend I am reforming my nonprofit to get rid of intellectual abuse of our kids in public schools, the reaction was, “You are too old to start up a new program like that.” My reaction was, “I’m not too old to start it. I may be too old to finish it.” Once we get going, personal experiences of caring people will take over. Some things I know little or nothing about, but I have friends who are experts. So I’ll learn what I need to know from them. These are opportunities that are available to this old man. That is a most important lesson for each of us to accept. The odd thing is we may never realize we know more today than yesterday. If we are smart, we learn what we need to know on purpose.

ment because I believe kids deserve to be in family based homes,” Crutison said. However, he also noted child trafficking as a societal problem that continues to grow. Crutison’s admirers count his most important accomplishments in far greater numbers than two, and as they noted, they all started with his willingness to work, to focus on what is the right thing to do for the children and their families, and he never stopped believing change is possible. “Understanding the complexities of family dynamics and the systemic oppressive tactics that serve as barriers to living, Mr. Crutison is an advocate and a visionary,” Smith wrote.

You’re never too old to get in shape

he new year is in full swing and people of all ages are undoubtedly focused on how they will keep those resolutions to lose weight and get in shape. As we grow older, it may seem impossible but you’re never too old to get back in shape. If you have extra weight to lose and you’ve lost muscle tone, regular exercise can help you reach your fitness goals. And there are good reasons to stop sitting and get more active. “Sitting increases your risk of death by 40%,” notes physical therapist Bob Blakewell, a colleague of mine. But where do you start? Specifically, high intensity interval training (HIIT) can be beneficial. It affects both your brain health and your physical health. Aging is described as the loss of lean muscle mass from age 31 on. So HIIT is shorter, more intense but doesn’t require a lot of work and can improve all the systems of your body. Another colleague, physical therapist Tyler

Senior SOLANO

Robert Baker Fit after 50 Berg, notes there are some key things to think about when developing your exercise routine. “Nobody is going to exercise if they have to do things they don’t enjoy,” he said. His advice? “Find something you enjoy the most, that involve minimal discomfort, is moderately challenging and then perform it consistently.” Here are some basic exercises you can use to get in shape in 2022 – no matter your age. n The elevated pushup. Level 1 is a pushup done by leaning on a wall. Level up the exercise by making it an incline pushup, using a countertop. This integrates tension between your scapula and arms and lessens wear and tear. n The stair step-back. Use a small stool or step in your home. Start with both feet on the stair,

Call For Your

then step back with one leg, touch your foot to the floor, then step back up to the stair. Level up by making that foot go back farther. This can be an effective exercise for strengthening muscles, improving your balance and boosting your cardiovascular health. n The bent-over row. For Level 1, stand by your chair and place one hand on the chair back. Step back with a slight bend in the knees, hinging at the hips. Bend forward with your back straight and dangle one arm by your side, keeping it straight. You can hold a small weight, or start with no weight. Then, bending at the elbow, pull your arm up to your back and return to the start position. Squeeze your shoulder blades together when lifting your arm up. This exercise can lower injury risks in your shoulder and neck. If you don’t have a weight, you can try a reusable bag or backpack with canned goods in it. To level up, increase the amount of weight and repetitions. n Squats or sit-to-

stand. Using a chair, sit with your knees and feet shoulder-width apart. Lean slightly forward with your back straight and face down. Tyler calls it “Nose over toes.” Then lean forward and move into a standing position. To level up, add weights and move your hands in front of your body as you stand; or start from a standing position with your arms straight out in front of you, squat down but don’t fully sit down on the chair and then come back to a standing position. n The suitcase carry. Hold a kettle bell or a bag of canned goods or suitcase in one hand with your arm straight down by your side. Stand straight (don’t lean) and simply walk up and down a hallway. Switch which hand is holding the weight and repeat. To level up, add more weight. Want some cardio? Do three rounds of these exercises more rapidly to get your heart pumping. Robert Baker is manager of Rehabilitation Services at NorthBay Healthcare.

Can you please help me move ahead, Annie? Thank you. — Wanting Contact Dear Wanting: The best way to move ahead is to take a step back – and look at the big picture. Your son is in an abusive relationship, and his wife is using your family as the scapegoat and saying that you are the cause of all problems,

when, after being married to her for eight years, he ended up having a mental breakdown. The real question is, why does he allow his wife to say such terrible things about you and force him to cut ties with you? Continue to reach out to your son in a loving and understanding way. Try to put your hurt feelings aside and see that he is the one really hurting now. It does not feel good to be disconnected from your parents and cut them out completely. He is hurting. On top of that, you are being too hard on your daughter. Your children are not betraying you; they are surviving as best they can with the life situation they are in at the moment. Congrat-

ulate yourself that you were able to raise two siblings who love each other enough to help the other one out when they are having a tough time, which is exactly what your son is having. He needs to stick up to his wife, but he won’t be able to do that with low self-esteem. Until then, he will let this abusive woman continue to drive him into mental breakdowns. Support your son – he needs your help now more than ever – and don’t demand or ask anything of him. Just tell him you are there for him when he needs you and how much you love him.

Your lucky numbers are: 10, 31, 17, 28 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). “It’s no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then,” said Alice in Wonderland. Today offers you a redo of sorts, though there’s a counteroffer from beckoning new horizons. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You fulfill needs uniquely. You care for people like only you can – sometimes needs that people didn’t even realize they had until you came along. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maybe you’re not where you fantasize about being, but you’re not where you were, either. So stop for a moment and take in the view from this height. If you let it, your ambition could run rampant. So don’t let it! CANCER (June 22-July 22). Solicit cooperation, delegate, enlist. Everyone wins. You get the thing finished by the deadline, and they pick up some skills, a new experience and the pleasure of your company. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Competition doesn’t have to be nasty to be fierce. You’ll embody the spirit of sportsmanship even as you give your all to defeat the opposition. Perhaps it’s a little easier to be generous because you believe you’re going to win. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Unusual circumstances trigger you to behave uncharacteristically. Because of this, you’ll witness a side of the situation you wouldn’t normally see and be most enlightened by the experience. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A strong woman will be important to the action today. She’ll encourage you and give you a gentle structure of accountability for what you want to accomplish. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve a gift for hosting. You’re like a song that brings everyone together in perfect harmony. To the amateur, the details of gatherings seem important, but you’re a pro. The only detail you need is the warmth of your smile. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are things you would change about a relationship if you could. It turns out, you can. You don’t even need the other person to do it, either. When you’re different, everything is different. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s nothing like the exuberant fun you have with your favorite person. When you can’t be together, the next best thing will be planning for the next time you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Tiny troubles are like tiny bubbles in a fizzy drink. One by one they rise to the surface and pop. Enjoy it if you can. Without them, things would get a little flat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Share your story. Your experience will translate well to others. You can really make a difference in someone’s life just by talking about what you’ve done and learned.

February is American Heart Month

Forty-seven percent of all American adults had high blood pressure in 2019.

K eira Dagy

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY REPUBLIC

ebruary is here, which marks the officially start of American Heart Month. This month is a great time to raise awareness on the risk factors for heart disease, as well as a time to reflect on your own cardiovascular health. Heart disease continues to be the biggest threat to American’s health as it has been the leading cause of death in this country for more than 80 years. The global pandemic has only heightened this risk by the negative impact coronavirus has on the heart and vascular system. The pandemic has also illuminated vast health disparities in this country, which includes populations that are systematically more likely to experience heart disease and fatal outcomes. It is essential for all high-risk populations to know what causes heart disease, and the best ways to prevent it altogether. Reviewing the risk factors, recognizing inequities and highrisk populations and knowing how to prevent heart disease are all essential steps toward creating an overall healthier country. The most common risk factors for heart disease are high blood pressure, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and obesity.

In 2019, 47% of all American adults had high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure greater than 130 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure greater than 80 mmHg. What’s worse is that only a quarter of adults with hypertension regulate it with medication. Because of the large proportion of Americans who don’t have their blood pressure under control, hypertension was a primary or contributing cause of death for 516,955 people in 2019. However, hypertension and heart disease do not affect all Americans equally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that high blood pressure is more common in Black adults (56%) than in white adults (48%), Asian adults (46%) or Hispanic adults (39%). Since heart disease is so pervasive in this country, small disparities lead to drastic differences in health outcomes. For example, age-adjusted death rates for cardiovascular disease are 33% higher for Black adults than for the overall population in the U.S., and Black adults are twice as likely to have a stroke than white adults, according to the American Heart Association. This stems from environmental and social inequities that disproportionately affect Black and racial minority populations. Systematic social inequities

including increased stress, distrust in the medical system, a lack of nutritious food options and poor access to medical care have directly been associated with the development of heart disease. Knowing this, extra steps must be taken to prevent heart disease by addressing the social inequities and ensuring equitable treatment of heart disease. For all Americans, the key to heart disease prevention is focusing on managing individual risk factors and having regular check-ups to know your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and body mass index levels. By doing this, you can know if your personal risk factors need to be addressed with an early intervention, such as taking medication to lower your blood pressure. On a structural level, steps need to be taken to remove barriers to primary care for minority populations, as well as address basic social determinates of health like ensuring healthy food options and ample public outdoor areas to exercise in all neighborhoods. Use this month to reflect on what you can do to lower your risk of heart disease and schedule a check-up with your primary care provider to learn more.

are underutilized as well. A public hearing on the ag zones will be scheduled down the road after the county and agricultural interests can come to an understanding on the text changes. But the discussion that has led up to this point is far broader and reflects the changes in the agricultural sector, from how traditional farming practices are changing to the varied looks of agriculture tourism to regulations that can force changes – wanted or not. Supervisor John Vasquez points to two uniquely different examples of that. The first is the revolution of greenhouse farming with operations such as Gotham Greens, which produces lettuce in greenhouses on 2 acres, what traditional field farming produces on 50 acres – and uses far less water to do so. There is also the prospect of reintroducing crops to Solano County that have not been grown in the region for a long time, further diversifying the agriculture industry in the county. It is that diversity, with more than 100 commodities, that officials say has kept ag healthy in Solano. “I think we have tremendous diversity and a lot that is dictated by the landscape,” said Agriculture Commissioner Ed King, explaining that different areas of the county allow for different crops or livestock. While economic development outreach is not part of his mission, he noted there are more than 20,000 acres of almonds in the county, but very little is processed in Solano. “Almost all of that leaves the county to be processed or is exported,” King said. Being able to expand that part of the agriculture industry “would be an asset to the county,” and zoning has to be part of that. One of the primary reasons for the text changes is to bring the county codes in line with state codes. That includes recognizing greenhouse farming as farming and therefore opening up ag zones to the practice. The debate rises up when the issue of whether

After all, Gotham Greens was born in Brooklyn, New York, and is self-described as a “fresh food and urban agricultural company.” The Nut Tree, in Vacaville.

prime time,” Dittmer said of the code. Allowing workforce housing in agricultural zones is another part of the proposal, something Vasquez argues is very much needed, and he is not referring to the oldstyle migrant and labor camps that have nearly become obsolete. Still hanging over the whole of the topic is agriculture tourism. Restaurants, cafes, bakeries and even retail stores are proposed uses for the agri-tourism areas of the county. The line is thinly drawn, disallowing special events that do not promote agriculture in some way, but allowing what is separately defined as marketing events – including weddings, as an example – when those events promote agricultural interests such as wineries. In the end, Vasquez said the purpose was to give agriculture interests more flexibility to work within the changing environment of farming and related industries. But there are agricultural interests that do not want those uses to go too far afield. And what Suisun Valley wants can be very different than what Pleasants Valley wants.

Chiefs From Page One started a PAL program, which he said he believes will be an avenue to reach the youth in an environment that is safe. Hopefully, he said, this will encourage members of minority groups to become police officers. “For recruiting we need to think of different ways to get the younger generation involved,” Schmutzler said. Johnicon George Sr., Tri-City NAACP president, said everyone knows to leave Vacaville before dark because Vacaville isn’t safe for African American kids to hang out. “People won’t let their sons deliver for DoorDash in Vacaville,” he said. “But I am excited to see where things are going to go with Vacaville and look forward to being able to let my daughter deliver food and being safe doing it.”

Fairfield Police Chief Deanna Cantrell was on the cellphone for the meeting while driving back from Arizona. She spoke of policing being more than just programs but about a philosophy that comes from working from your heart. “It is about working with the community to solve problems like reducing crime and helping those people who committed crimes see how their actions hurt the community,” she said. Cantrell also spoke about getting new police officers into the department. “You can’t get African American officers into a department if the culture inside it is not comfortable,” Cantrell said. “We are always recruiting but the best recruitment is from within the community one contact at a time and one relationship at a time.” Suisun City Police Chief Aaron Roth echoed Cantrell’s sentiments. The Suisun Police Department currently

has no African American police officers. “We do celebrate diversity and we aren’t trying to exclude anyone,” Roth said. The applicants he has had have not been from minority groups and he is not sure exactly why that is because that doesn’t really represent the cultural diversity of Suisun City. “That is something I will have to look into,” he said. Roth said he hopes to work with more diversitydriven groups and reach out to the community to reach people who want to make a difference. Ruth Bailey, one of the many people who joined the Zoom meeting, asked if she could be on the

recruitment team. “Having someone from the community might help bring to light issues in the community that others might not be aware of,” she said. Vacaville’s Police Chief Schmutzler was amenable to the idea and said he would look into it. The Tri-City NAACP will have Black History Month celebrations over several weekends this month, including the 2nd Annual Vacaville Black History Celebration scheduled from noon to 2 p.m. Feb. 19 at Andrew’s Park. The event is a celebration of youth. More events will happen. Information can be found as it is made available on the Tri-City NAACP’s Facebook page.

The county reported 81% of residents 5 or older have received at least one vaccine shot, and 71% have been fully vaccinated. There have been 135,585 booster shots administered, representing 46.1% of those who

Hector Amezcua/Sacramento Bee/TNS file (2018)

The Sacramento Kings’ Bogdan Bogdanovic drives against the Golden State Warriors’ Kevon Looney in the first half

at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, March 31, 2018. Looney is currently the Warriors’ only healthy center.

Will the Warriors make a move at the trade deadline? Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — The NBA trade deadline is less than a week away, but it’s far from the Golden State Warriors’ minds. Asked what he’d like to see the Warriors get at the deadline, Klay Thompson didn’t a miss a beat with his response. “Maybe a new washing machine,” he said. Though outwardly feeling little urgency to make a move, the deadline coincides with some uncertainty around the Warriors’ center position depth. Kevon Looney is the only true center active and healthy on the roster. Looney’s personal goal is to play in every game – and he hasn’t missed one yet – but if he gets hurt, the team could be in a pickle. With Draymond Green and James Wiseman out and Otto Porter Jr., Nemanja Bjelica and Andre Iguodala coping with recurring injuries of their own, the Warriors figure to be in the market for some depth at the position. Just in case. But the Warriors’ brass is holding out hope that Green, 31, and Wiseman will return in time to provide that depth and avoid having to make a deal during their playoff push. “I don’t think we feel urgency, but we’re always listening and talking and we’ll see if something comes up,” general manager Bob

Myers said on Thursday. Green expects to return in three or four weeks from a back injury that’s sidelined him since Jan. 9. Doctors and specialists determined Green, who turns 32 next month, did not need surgery and can return once he regains his strength and conditioning. Wiseman, rehabbing from meniscus surgery, has a murkier timeline. The Warriors have no idea when he will start contact practices – let alone play in a game. But Myers said team officials involved in Wiseman’s rehab say he will play again this season, for at least a handful of games in perhaps a limited capacity. “I think with James and Draymond looking like they will be back – nobody is telling me they won’t, I don’t know when – you’re always worried when you’re sitting in a position, especially when you already have two of those guys injured,” Myers said. “We think those two can help us out more than anyone else on the market.” Andre Iguodala said Wiseman is “grinding” and “has the wow factor” in his workouts, but is working to smooth out flaws in his game. The 20-year-old has played in just 39 NBA games and three college games at Memphis and would return in the thick of a playoff run. Neither player is guaranteed to

be out of the woods recovery-wise. “If that answer is clear a week from now at the deadline or we find out something new, we would react to that,” Myers said. “But as we sit here tonight, we’re told those guys, Draymond and James, will be available and back to help us with some games to go.” Despite the injuries, the Warriors have the Western Conference’s second-best record, 40-13, and the feeling in the locker room is that a trade is not needed if a healthy roster is on the horizon. “We have a great team, we believe in our team, we have found a great mix of youth and experience and we’re executing it,” Green said. “I don’t think, and it’s not my job or my role, I can’t see it happening and if it does I’d be shocked.” A juggernaut for most of the last decade, the Warriors haven’t met the trade deadline with much urgency. They were most active during a dismal 2019-20 season, trading Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III to the Philadelphia Sixers for three draft picks. They traded D’Angelo Russell, Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Andrew Wiggins and a 2021 first-round pick that turned into Jonathan Kuminga. “We’ve never been that team to make a bunch of moves at the trade deadline,” Green said.

Metropolitan Division wins All-Star Game final, 5-3, against Central The Philadelphia Inquirer LAS VEGAS — While the All-Star Game has no impact on the standings, Flyers and Metropolitan Division captain Claude Giroux brought the intensity and the scoring skills he’s displayed all season long. Giroux scored twice in the final of the Metropolitan Division’s 5-3 victory over the Central Division and once in the semifinal against the Pacific Division on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena. His efforts earned him the tournament’s most valuable player, as he finished the day with three goals and one assist. “We had a blast today,” Giroux said. “Everybody was having a good time. Started with the coach and just guys were yelling to play defense and win battles, block shots. We just had fun today.” The 15-year Flyers veteran had a couple additional scoring chances that were ultimately nullified by the Central Division. A two-on-one late in the first period developed between Giroux and Penguins forward Jake Guentzel.

However, Guentzel’s slap shot was denied by Wild goalie Cam Talbot. After the Central Division pulled Nashville Predators goalie Juuse Saros with less than two minutes remaining in the second period, they poured on the offensive pressure. However, Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry stood tall and held the Central Division scoreless. Together, Jarry and Carolina Hurricanes goalie Frederik Andersen limited the Central Division to just three goals on 24 shots. “I was actually very surprised about how hard these guys, they played the game,” Metropolitan Division head coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “I’ve been in one of these, I get it. And they played hard. It was actually really funny to sit back and watch them, the talk, the banter, how they were pushing each other.” GOING THE EXTRA MILE Even in the three-on-three, offense-powered format, Giroux’s defense helped his team in the final. In the first period with the game tied at 1, Giroux won a battle along the boards for the puck against Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov. Giroux tipped the puck ahead for Columbus Blue

Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski, who moved the puck through the neutral zone on the attack. Werenski held the puck with patience, waiting for his teammates to arrive in the offensive zone. Giroux crashedthenet,andWerenskiputapass right on his tape for a shot past Talbot to put the Metropolitan Division up, 2-1. “It’s always tough playing against him,” Werenski said of Giroux. “So to play with him in this event and see some of his skills, it’s been fun.” Giroux finished the final with two goals, while Chris Kreider, Jack Hughes and Evgeny Kuznetsov had one each for the Metropolitan. Clayton Keller, Joe Pavelski and Nazem Kadri all scored one for the Central Division. THE KEYSTONE CONNECTION While the Metropolitan’s first line kicked off the semifinal game against the Pacific Division with a goal 13 seconds in, it was Giroux and the second line who carried the team. Despite the intense rivalry between their teams, Giroux and Pittsburgh’s Guentzel found a spark, along with Carolina’s Sebastian Aho. Giroux showed why he’s been an All-Star seven times, winning faceoffs, flying around the ice, making plays and scoring goals. He scored the second goal, outskating Troy Terry and then quickly changing directions to wrap around goalie John Gibson. Aho scored the line’s second goal 12 seconds after Giroux’s. Giroux found Guentzel for the team’s fifth goal, which gave them a two-point lead. “It’s different,” Guentzel said of

playing with his division rivals. “That’s what’s cool about this, you get to be around new people and interact with guys you play against every night. You just take that all in. The rivalry is there, but just to come together here to play together for a few times was pretty fun.” The three of them accounted for 12 of the team’s 26 shots on goal, and Giroux alone had eight. Guentzel and Giroux were the only players on either team to finish plus-two, while Aho finished plus-one. Only one Pacific player, Timo Meier, finished in the positive. VEGAS BOMBS With Giroux bombarding the goal, the Pacific Division goalies faced a very uneven shot count. The Metropolitan skaters took 11 more shots, finishing with 26 shots on goal to the Pacific’s 15. Giroux led the way with eight, and Washington Capital Tom Wilson and New Jersey Devil Jack Hughes each added four. Gibson, who started in goal for the Pacific, faced 13 shots and gave up three goals. Meanwhile, Andersen fielded just seven. While he faced the Edmonton Oilers’ dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, who skated circles around everyone while they were out there, he held firm and gave up just one goal. In the second period, Jarry took over in goal for the Metropolitan and Thatcher Demko for the Pacific. Demko gave up two goals but faced 13 shots. Jarry gave up three but faced nine shots. Andersen finished with the highest save percentage and fewest goals against.

FAIRFIELD — In a microcosm of its season, the Rodriguez High boys soccer team rallied from a 1-0 halftime deficit to earn a 2-1 win over Vanden and clinch one of the Monticello Empire League’s three Sac-Joaquin Section playoff berths at Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium, Friday. The Mustangs (8-8-1, 6-3-1), who started out league play 0-3 before turning things around and going 6-0-1 the rest of the way, got secondhalf goals from Cameron Belandres and Tyler Branch, while goalkeeper Roger Neri was credited with five saves.

Armijo 3, Fairfield 2: At Armijo’s Brownlee Field, the Royals (7-10, 6-4) did their part to stay in contention for a playoff berth which would have gone their way had Rodriguez lost to Vanden. Armijo took a 2-0 into halftime after a pair of goals from Abraham Perez, the first off a pass from Julian Jimenez, the second on a header following a cross from Alejandro Godinez. After the Falcons (2-16-1, 1-9-0) tied it with two goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half, Andy Diaz scored the game-winner with less than eight minutes remaining with the defense and goalkeeper Jonathon Harrington doing their part as well. Vacaville 2, Wood 1: At Wood’s Wildcat Stadium, the league-champion Bulldogs (11-03, 8-0-2) got second-half goals from Nathan Beltran and Micah Navarro with Alejandro Verdugo recording an assist. The Wildcats finished the regular season 10-6-3 overall and 6-3-1 in the MEL, joining Vacaville and Rodriguez in the SJS playoffs.

Armijo captures 4th straight MEL crown FAIRFIELD — While its season didn’t end in a victory, the Armijo High boys junior varsity soccer team did more than enough throughout the campaign to capture its fourth straight Monticello Empire League championship with a 2-2 draw with Fairfield at Brownlee Field, Friday. The Royals (6-1-3) opened the scoring with a tally by Santiago Alvarez

off a left-footed shot and later made it 2-1 on another goal by Alvarez following a corner kick by Edwing Pacheco. The Falcons scored the equalizer in the second half. “We faced a lot of adversity this season as we were never able to have a full roster available due to Covid and injuries,” said Alonso Arias, who’s coached the Royals JV the last two seasons. “As we started league with a loss and no subs, it was important to maintain our system of play that we had been practicing for weeks. Last year we were able to set the record for Armijo as being the only JV soccer team to ever win MEL with 10 wins and 0 losses.”

Vacaville wins title after Rodriguez ties FAIRFIELD — Needing a victory to win over Vanden to capture the Monticello Empire League girls soccer championship, Rodriguez High could only manage a scoreless draw against the Vikings at George A. Gammon Field, Thursday. The tie left the Mustangs (7-3-3) with a 7-0-3 record in league play, giving them 24 points – three for each win, one for each tie – one point behind Vacaville. Vanden finished the regular season at 6-4-4 overall, 4-2-4 in the MEL. The Vikings, along with the Bulldogs and Mustangs, qualified for the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs, which open Friday.

Vacaville 2, Wood 0: At Vacaville’s Zunino Stadium, the Bulldogs (15-6-1, 8-1-1) got a goal in each half and the defense did the rest in earning their second straight MEL title and fifth in the last six seasons. They needed a win to claim the crown as a tie would have left them with 23 points, one fewer than Rodriguez’s 24. Wood (6-6-3, 4-4-2) needed a win to move ahead of Vanden for the MEL’s third playoff berth. Armijo 5, Fairfield 2: At Fairfield’s Schaefer Stadium, the

THE WASHINGTON POST

asculinity can be a prison. For some time now, many straight, White men have struggled against their fading cultural relevance. Some have coped in reprehensible, idiotic and scary ways. (Cases in point: GamerGate, Joe Rogan). On the other hand, a handful have recognized that the noblest response to change may be to laugh in the face of their fading dudedom, by presenting a performative caricature of it. Welcome to “Jackass Forever” (aka “America’s Funniest Home Videos” meets “The Three Stooges”). Of course, it’s also fun to turn off your brain for 90 minutes.

Worried Wordle may go behind a paywall? Here are eight alternatives Rachel Orr

THE WASHINGTON POST

There have been a lot of emotions this week around the New York Times’s seven-figure acquisition of the word deduction game, Wordle – especially on Twitter. The reactions range from frustration to glee to snark. The game has become a

ritual for the millions who play it daily. Our brains crave the pattern-seeking custom Wordle humbly provides, helping it become a perfect pandemic game. The interface is simple, free from ads and has a heartwarming origin story. But what does the future hold for Wordle? The Times says the game will “initially remain free to new and existing players.” But it’s not clear what the time frame for “initially” really

is, and some have theorized that the game will eventually end up behind The Times’s paywall. In case that happens, I’ve scoured the internet and crowdsourced friends for free Wordle-inspired adaptations. They range from NSFW options like Lewdle (like, seriously NSFW), to music-inspired alternatives like a Phishthemed version, to just plain silly, like Letterle.

1. For the obsessed

azz great Slim Gaillard’s interpretation of “How High the Moon” includes this existential pearl: “Everybody’s wondering how high the moon/ The moon never wonder how low you are.” It’s something to think about, which is more than a sane viewer would say about Roland Emmerich’s new disaster film “Moonfall.” It’s as ber-zak as Gaillard’s creation, and in Emmerich’s career of perpetually putting Earth at the edge of violent extinction with “Independence Day,” “The Day After TomorMOVIE row,” “2012” and others, this one’s the trippiest of all. Ever since the ‘Moonfall’ 2008 drunken Rated PG-13 history lesson 120 minutes “10,000 B.C.,” I’ve been a guiltHH (OUT OF FOUR) free advocate of Emmerich’s escapism. Outside the outlandish mediocrity of “Stonewall,” which is actually less historically accurate than “Moonfall,” he’s a filmmaker with a delightfully consistent sense of scale and concerns (starting with broken families repaired by global calamity). He’s an ideal blend of form and content. There’s his pushy, arrhythmic editing, especially when darting between three subplots at once; blithe, bloodless carnage, often featuring big, watery threats; and comic relief clunky enough to complement the periodic rest stops laden with pseudoscientific exposition. Same ingredients, new dish, every time. His movies are daft narrative blurs, full of calamity, yet there’s zero meanness on screen, which makes him the good-time polar opposite of Michael Bay in “Transformers” mode. Emmerich’s payoffs may be ridiculous but they’re sincere. His vision of the world, and how to save it, again, contains multitudes of both punishment and payoff, and “Moonfall” offers a unique hybrid: the payoffishment. Emmerich wrote “Moonfall” with Harald Kloser and Spenser Cohen. Its

Can’t get enough Wordle? Once per day not enough? Wordle Unlimited is for you. Or you can use this unlimited version as practice for the “real” game. If the standard 5-letter word isn’t challenging enough, this version lets you increase the number of letters to 11. (Personally, no thank you – five is enough.) See Wordle, Page B3

omeone’s been murdered. Homicide Det. Terry Seattle (Will Arnett) is on the case. Solving the crime won’t be easy, especially for his “new” partner, a real-life celebrity with no script and often no idea what’s going on in the ridiculously entertaining “Murderville,” Netflix’s six-part comedy where improv meets murdermystery dinner theater meets every rote cop show of the past 40 years. Each episode of the series features a new mystery and a new guest star who’s paired up with the hard-knock detective Seattle by his precinct captain and estranged wife (Haneefah Wood).

They “investigate” crime scenes, grill suspects and put up with

Seattle’s bizarre methodology for 30 minutes. At the episode’s close, they’re asked to identify the killer from a lineup of three suspects. Then the captain reveals if they got it right or wrong. The show, which also features Kumail Nanjiani and “Schitt’s Creek’s”

Annie Murphy, throws curveballs after red herrings at its unsuspecting guests, putting them on the spot when they’re asked to go undercover on their own, with Seattle feeding them lines through a hidden earpiece. Some of the best comedic moments come out of the folks who aren’t from the comedy world: Lynch as a poker dealer who has no idea how to dole out cards. Stone flatout refusing to do what Seattle asks, turning the tables so Arnett is left dangling.

As the grizzled detective who hasn’t recovered from the loss of his old partner (a picture of Jennifer Aniston in a cop uniform hangs in his office), Arnett is an endless font of idiotically funny police tropes and lonesome loser satire. He pivots on the fly, challenging his “partner” to an ad-lib duel, often causing them to break character, laugh or ask what the hell is going on. “Murderville,” which is based on the BBC Three series “Murder in Successville,” is a pandemic production. It looks as though each scene was done in as few takes as possible, and the sets look like a production office, someone’s living room or perhaps the parking area behind the soundstage.

The unremarkable locations make the players the center of attention in a series that emulates the feel of local theater and sketch comedy. Audiences have the choice to look for clues along the way, but the show’s executive producer Arnett is a master in the art of distraction, which makes it difficult for viewers – and the show’s guest stars – to focus. Just try and remember which one of the triplet suspects was left-handed, or who was a terrible speller, after laughing through Arnett’s “Baretta”/”CSI”/”NYPD Blue” shtick. “Murderville” isn’t afraid to be an imperfect, silly mess, which is why it’s the perfect escape for messy times.

And franchise veteran Bam Margera was fired from this production because of long-standing substance abuse.)

4. For Spanish speakers Music-inspired versions of Wordle are definitely a trend. Vox developer, Lucio Villa created La Palabra, a Bad Bunny-inspired version for fans of the Puerto Rican singer and songwriter. Each day there’s a hint at the top that tells you in which Bad Bunny song the Spanish word appears (extremely helpful), as well as a Spotify link to listen to the song. Also, this game features six-letcallbacks to “Jackass’s” lower-budget past. One of the few that can be described in a family newspaper involves a simple premise: Strap on an athletic cup and let some person or thing whale away. There’s a flashback to charming footage of Knoxville getting punched and kicked in his privates by young children. Fast-forward to the present day, as castmate Ehren McGhehey is shown receiving trauma to his family jewels from, in order: the fist of a UFC heavyweight champion; a softball from an Olympic pitcher; a hockey puck slap shot; and, most unfortunately, a pogo stick.

actually going on, and below, the lunar surface. In the 10-years-earlier prologue (already online, and a shameless rip-off of “Gravity”), Fowler and Harper lose a NASA colleague during a routine satellite maintenance mission when they’re beset by an apparent malevolent force. The digital creation resembles an amalgam of Squidward and one of those wiggly steel-wool scrub pads. My response to “Moonfall” and its speculations about the moon’s true contents and purpose, and humankind’s long-hidden origin story? It’s simple. First hour: pretty lousy and not much fun. Second hour: pretty lousy but more fun, and the movie has the benefit of getting stranger and stranger as it gyrates. It’s a drag, though, to see Berry dutifully playing ball with two bowls of vanilla pudding as coleads, both of whom are better actors than they come off here. I was hoping for a Halle Berry vs. moon smackdown, and this isn’t that. Still, between “Don’t Look Up” and “Moonfall,” I’m still wrestling with which one I’d recommend second.

In one of the more clever adaptations, Airportle was created by travel deal website, Scott’s Cheap Flights. In this version of the game, you have six tries to guess the three-digit airport IATA (International Air Transport Association) code. Is there a reason to need to know so many airport codes? Doubtful, but it’s still fun to guess.

As Scott’s Cheap Flights showed above, Wordle is so popular even companies are getting in on it. Do you have a green thumb? Try A Greener Wordle and find out. All the answers are related to climate change and the environment and harder than you might think. I went the obvious route and started with “Earth” and failed to guess correctly.

This deep into the franchise, most of you have probably already decided how funny you find scatological and pain-based humor. But even “Jackass” newbies would probably admit that these people seem to be having the time of their lives. There’s something wholesome about the world of “Jackass,” in which almost any annoyance or grievance can be patched over by a bout of collective hooting and hollering, sympathetic puking or plain old hugging it out. “Jackass Forever” feels like a victory lap of sorts for Knoxville and

Pope Benedict XVI and the history of scandal-plagued popes The Washington Post Catholic Pope emeritus Benedict XVI committed “wrongdoing” in the way he handled sexual abuse cases in his German archdiocese before he was pope, according to a church-commissioned investigation released Thursday. The German law firm that conducted the investigation said Benedict’s claims to have no direct knowledge of sexual abuse cases were not credible. The report amounts to a shocking and harsh condemnation of the retired pope – the first pope to resign his position before death in 600 years. Though his predecessor was canonized and his successor has generally been popular, Benedict is not the first pope among the nearly 270 in history whose scandals have caused Catholics and the Catholic Church headaches. The period between late 9th and 10th centuries saw some particularly bad popes, according to historian Eamon Duffy in his book “Saints and Sinners: A History of the Popes.” During this “saeculum obscurum” or “dark century,” the papacy became little more than a trophy

Tech Sgt. Suzanne M. Day/U.S. Air Force file (2008)

Pope Benedict XVI is greeted by President George W. Bush and Laura Bush at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., to begin his weeklong trip to the United States, April 15, 2008. in a rivalry between greedy noble families, and many of these popes were more interested in these petty feuds than glorifying God or abiding by the vows of the priesthood. There was Pope Stephen VI, in power from May 896 to August 897. His predecessor was pope for only 15 days before dying, perhaps of gout or perhaps murdered by Stephen VI’s followers.

Once installed, Stephen VI put his enemy – another of his predecessors – Pope Formosus, on trial, which was kind of weird considering Formosus had been dead for months. His corpse was dressed in papal vestments and propped up on a throne before being found guilty of perjury and other offenses, mutilated and tossed into a river. The people of Rome thought that was pretty

gross, and they soon deposed and murdered Stephen VI. Then there was Pope Sergius III, pope from 904 to 911, who murdered his predecessors, bribed and threatened bishops and fathered an illegitimate child. Sixteenth century Catholic historian Caesar Baronius called him an “execrable monster” and “worthy of the rope and of fire.” This period also saw the papacy of John XII, who became pope at 18 in 955. He spent of much of his time sleeping around and warring with rival factions. As 15th century chronicler Bartolomeo Platina put it, “If he had any time to spare from his lusts, he spent it in hunting and not in prayer.” He died in 964 in the bed of a married woman, either of a stroke, being stabbed by the woman’s husband or thrown out the window by said husband, depending on which account you believe. The dark century wasn’t the only period to produce scandaltainted popes. Pope Boniface VIII, who was pope from 1294 to 1303, was depicted as being destined for the eighth circle of hell in Dante’s “Inferno” for the sin of simony – that is, selling religious sacraments and holy offices.

Though he did some useful things like codifying canon law, he was generally more focused on the temporal realm than the spiritual. His critics even claimed he was a non-believer and that he said pedophilia was no more a sin than “rubbing one hand against another.” Pope Leo X has the distinction of being head of the Catholic church in 1520, granting so many indulgences that a German priest named Martin Luther started a whole new branch of Christianity in response. Where other popes veered into lives of excess, Pope Paul IV, who led the church from 1555 to 1559, was controversial for his extreme austerity, with the exception of having statues of himself installed all over Rome. He cut off Sistine Chapel muralist Michelangelo’s pension, banned books and made begging illegal. No one in Paul’s Rome had it worse than the Jews; he confined them to a ghetto, made them wear yellow hats whenever they left, and ordered dozens burned at the stake. He was so hated when he died that celebratory rioters tore down many of his statues; other statues were mocked with yellow hats.

As a student who has been enrolled in the Fairfield-Suisun School District since August 2009, I have personally experienced how class size is a decisive factor in student learning and growth. I have seen how a class of 15 students creates an interactive, collaborative learning community that fosters academic growth and bolsters strong learning relationships between students and their classmates. On the other hand, I have seen how a class of 40 or even 50 students results in a classroom where students

are more distracted and disengaged from their learning environment while also given fewer opportunities and resources to succeed. It is clear that lower class sizes are needed to ensure that FairfieldSuisun School District students learn in an inclusive, forward-thinking learning environment and are able to reach their full academic potential. I would propose that the Fairfield-Suisun School District dedicate more funds toward lowering class sizes across the district in order to empower and edify its students so they may achieve their full academic potential and become true assets to our community. By lowering class sizes, the Fairfield-Suisun School District would be making a needed investment in our students so they can succeed and thrive in an everchanging world.

CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

ric Hoffer was a former migrant farmworker who achieved praise and fame in the 1950s and 1960s as a writer and philosopher. Hoffer’s first of many books, “The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements,” was published in 1951, while he was a longshoreman in San Francisco. He continued to labor on the docks and continued to write for another 13 years, before becoming an adjunct professor at UC Berkeley, but “True Believer” remains his most cogent work. Hoffer applied the term “mass movements” to “revolutionary parties, nationalistic movements, and religious movements,” and added, “A movement is pioneered by men of words, materialized by fanatics and consolidated by men Dan Walters of actions.” As summarized in Wikipedia, “Hoffer argues that fanatical and extremist cultural movements, whether religious, social, or national, arise when large numbers of frustrated people, believing their own individual lives to be worthless or spoiled, join a movement demanding radical change. But the real attraction for this population is an escape from the self, not a realization of individual hopes.” Thus, a mass movement attracts followers “not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.” The phenomenon, Hoffer importantly concluded, is not confined to any one religious or ideological belief, noting that in post-World War I Germany, communists and Nazis competed for allegiance among the same frustrated, marginalized and angry slices of the population. Although published seven decades ago, Hoffer’s observations strike home today in a nation that might more accurately be called the Disunited States of America. True believers abound and they see others with differing views as an evil scourge that must be eradicated. The most obvious example occurred 13 months ago, when hundreds of Donald Trump followers, believing – without a shred of evidence – that his re-election bid was stolen, invaded the Capitol to prevent Joe Biden’s election as president from being confirmed. However, it was not an isolated example of mindless movements, nor are they confined to the right side of the political ledger. On the left, some members of the so-called “anti-fascist” movement have engaged in street violence directed at just about anyone and anything its followers choose to target, at times making some big city neighborhoods virtually uninhabitable. The “if-you’re-not-with-us-you’re-ourenemy” syndrome is also evident in nonviolent political situations, as two current events in California underscore. The left wing of the California Democratic Party has declared war on members who do not 100% hew to its agenda. It was demonstrated four years ago when progressive activists denied long-serving U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein a re-election endorsement because she was seen as too moderate and too willing to work across the partisan aisle. Now the same activists are fuming because legislation that would have declared California’s intention to create a single-payer health care system stalled without a vote in the state Assembly. The coalition backing the legislation threatened to bar party endorsements for any legislator who voted against the bill and now promises to cancel support for any who fail to publicly endorse it, even though the measure is half-baked at best. North of Sacramento, in Shasta County, the ideological cousins of those who invaded the U.S. Capitol last year launched a recall campaign against a county supervisor, former Redding Police Chief Leonard Moty, whom they deemed not right-wing enough, and it may have succeeded. Initial returns last week indicated that Moty, by any rational standard a conservative Republican, will lose his seat, giving the right-wing ideologues control of the board. Hoffer warned us about mindless true believers undermining civic stability and democracy itself.

Similarly, the diversion capacity of the Delta-Mendota Canal has decreased 30% at its terminus. With the knowledge of these major deficiencies in our conveyance systems, the majority party stripped SB 559 of its funding for these projects, despite the state possessing a huge budget surplus. The Legislature has a rare window of opportunity to fund these critical water infrastructure projects by using some of the $12 billion in excess taxpayer revenues already collected. Under state law, when revenues exceed the state’s spending limit – the Gann Limit – infrastructure projects may be financed using revenue from the general fund. Senate Republicans are urging Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature to put some of the state’s surplus funds toward vitally needed water storage. The completion of Sites Reservoir and repairs on the Central Valley canals would go a long way toward preserving public health, protecting the environment and maintaining economic viability. Furthermore, state leaders must eliminate the red tape and obstacles that stall or kill water storage and conveyance projects behind the scenes. We must protect people and communities while ensuring food supplies and national security remain stable. Sen. Jim Nielsen, a Republican from Roseville, represents California’s 4th Senate District.

Mayor salutes BMW of Fairfield’s long-term commitment to the city Matt Miller MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Golden shovels were ceremoniously dug into the dirt Friday as city leaders joined BMV of Fairfield in breaking ground on its new 42,000-square-foot dealership at 2399 Auto Mall Parkway. Mayor Harry Price called the deal with BMW a “game-changer,” which he said he believes will help revive the auto mall after the demise of the bulk of the Momentum Auto Group in 2018 over financial issues. It also offers much-needed sales tax support to city coffers and highlights a new partnership with a minority-led company. “They represent the very best in the auto industry,” Price said. “It makes me very pleased to have both Mercedes(Benz) and BMW. They’ve made a long-term investment with the city of Fairfield.” Vice Mayor Rick Vaccaro presented a proclamation from the city to BMW of Fairfield owner Hal Logan. Lois Cross also offered one from Rep. John Garamendi. The fate of the auto dealerships are important to the city because of the tax revenue they generate. Automobile dealerships generate a lot of sales tax that goes into the city’s general fund, which traditionally pays for the bulk of such services as police and fire protection, parks and recreation programs and the costs of general city government. BMW of Fairfield took up temporary residence in July in the former Infinity and Volkswagen dealership, down the street at the auto mall from its new

Logan said he believes cars could be sold at the new location within 12 months. Teamwrxx Construction is heading up the project. “We are building a state-of-the-art facility that we think everybody in the city will be happy with,” Logan said. “The city has been a great partner, easy to work with and very cooperative. Fairfield is an ideal location with the access to the freeway and its proximity to the Bay Area and Sacramento. We’re very happy to be here.” Logan said there will be 24 bays for auto service in the facility. Then there will be the long line of German luxury vehicles. His son, Justin LeGrand-Logan, is the general manager. “They’ve been great to work with and BMW takes the auto mall up another level,” Vaccaro said. “Having minority

ownership is also big. It’s so important to recognize the importance of that.” Hal Logan has served as the chief executive officer of BuyBook Technologies Inc., which was later acquired by Autotrader.com Inc, a subsidiary of Cox Automotive Inc. Prior to his role at BuyBook, Logan worked at Manheim Inc., an automobile auction company, where he served in a variety of roles, including senior vice president of strategic planning and chief executive officer of the company’s technology subsidiary. Logan serves and has previously served on the board of directors of multiple private companies in the automotive and technology industries. He received a bachelor of arts in economics from Harvard University and a master of business administration from Stanford University.

Resiliency Program seeks owners of small restaurants Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Restaurant Resiliency Program of Solano County is returning for 2022. The initial program in 2021 provided 3,200 meals over a 20-week period. It is administered by the Solano-Napa Small Business Development Board and the Workforce Development Board. Wells Fargo Bank provided $100,000 in seed funding in 2021 to partner with area restaurants, caterers and food trucks to provide hot meals once a week to low-income families and the homeless in

Fairfield and Vallejo. “Supporting our hardest hit small local restaurants in keeping their doors open and retaining jobs, while also addressing the regional crisis of food insecurity, gives us great hope as we rebuild and recover together,” said Erica Trejo, Wells Fargo’s senior vice president of social impact and sustainability, in a press release. The meals are distributed through the Fairfield-Suisun School District’s Family Resource Program and Vallejo’s Fighting Back Partnership. The program this year has financial support from the Fairfield-

Suisun School District, the city of Vallejo, and the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Community Benefit Programs. “We see this as an ongoing sustainable program, so that we can continue to get good healthy food to more people,” said Tim Murrill, director of the SolanoNapa SBDC, in the release. “It also provides some business to restaurants who through Covid can really use it right now. We target locally owned restaurants with 15 or fewer employees.” The hot meals are prepared weekly by businesses in Fairfield, Suisun

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: DATE: MARCH 9, 2022 TIME: 9:00 a.m. DEPT.: 22 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, County of Solano 600 Union Ave Fairfield, CA 94533 Hall of Justice If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1)four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

$4,850 for a Super Bowl parking spot? Sellers pushing up prices Los Angeles Times On an average Sunday, parking at the Midas auto repair shop in Inglewood, California is free. On Super Bowl Sunday, it could cost as much as $1,500. Attendance will be at an all-time high when the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals clash in SoFi Stadium, which typically seats around 70,000 but can expand to as many as 100,000 for big events. But thanks to stages and event spaces occupying some of the lots surrounding the stadium, parking there will be extremely scarce. That is forcing football fans to find alternative places to park. For a few hours Sunday, Inglewood businesses and residents with driveways and garages suddenly find themselves with some of the most valuable real estate in the city – and they’re looking to cash in.
