VACAVILLE — Shots rang out Saturday at Peña Adobe and one couldn’t help but flinch even if you were expecting it. The noise made it clear Western Day had returned to the park for a day of family fun. The gunslingers making all the noise are a group made up of a lot of former police officers and members from several other Western reenactor groups, such as the Sierra Nevada Guns for Hire, according to Eric Leintz, one of the Congressional Gunfighters of

The group is dedicated to preserving Old West history, specializing in live entertainment. They hosted gunfight demonstrations and answered questions about firearms safety. “We want to share the history of the area with visitors,” Cricket Kanouff, president of the Peña Adobe Historical Society, said. The Peña Adobe is the oldest structure built in Solano County. It was built in 1842 by Juan Felipe

Peña after he and Juan Manuel Vaca arrived in Vaca Valley from the New Mexico region. The day also included lasso lessons. Dominick Grable, 6, of Fairfield, was having a great time trying to capture the “sheep” on the lawn. “This is the first time we have come to this,” Dominick’s father, Ivan Grable, said. “I think the place is really cool. There is a lot of history here that I didn’t know about.” Ivan’s father, Dave Grable, See Western, Page A11

Cities reach out to supervisors on regional homeless strategies Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Regional 2X2 Homeless Committee – composed of council members from Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, Benicia and Vallejo – wants to partner with Solano County on aspects of the cities’ homeless response. “Specifically, our group would like to partner with the county and focus on the following key points,” a letter signed by all 10 members of the regional committee states. The points of interest, covering a broad spectrum of issues, are:

A homeless encampment is set up along Civic Center Drive in Fairfield, Tuesday. n Consistency in policy and programming across the various cities and the county. n A collaborative voice with the county to advo-

Korach has been the radio voice of the team since 1996 and is quietly as good (or better) at radio play-by-play as Jon Miller or Dave Flemming of the Giants. 7. Nick Bosa, 49ers. A freakishly great defensive end who (if he stays healthy) will be one of the NFL’s top players for the next several years. One of the greatest defensive linemen in team history. 6. Draymond Green, Warriors. The Warriors have been led by Green, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry for 10 seasons. For perspective, only six NBA players have spent the past 10 seasons with the same team, meaning that group makes up half the list. Green is the heartbeat and the NBA’s best defensive player.

The beloved Giants TV broadcasters have been a pairing since the early 1990s and the tragedy in recent years (illness for Krukow, cancer for Kuiper, followed by Kuiper’s death last winter) has made them even more treasured.

The greatest-ever Bay Area basketball player, a modern-day version of Willie Mays (had Mays started his career in San Francisco).

Solano Land Trust Kite Festival lets visitors enjoy the outdoors Susan Hiland

SHILAND@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — It was a breezy day Saturday with kites soaring into the blue skies above Lynch Canyon. Members of the Rydjord family sat beneath a tent waiting for it to get breezier before they brought out their own kites. They have come each year since the festival’s inception 14 years ago by Mike Rydjord. “Dad loved the outdoors and wanted to share that with people,” said Rydjord’s son, Tim Rydjord. The family came out with a couple of his kites to fly, plus their own. “His favorite kite was a bald eagle,” his wife Linda said. “He really just liked seeing people getting out and enjoying themselves.”

Hailey Marques of Suisun City came out for the first time to the Lynch Canyon Kite Festival, Saturday. The Solano Land Trust Lynch Canyon Kite Festival is an annual event celebrated in the rolling hills. Lynch Canyon, located between Fairfield and Vallejo, seemed the perfect fit for a kite festival, with wideopen spaces and plentiful breezes coming in off the San Francisco Bay. Rydjord died in

2013 and Solano Land Trust, where he spent many years as a volunteer, kept the festival going as a way to honor his memory. The festival has grown over the years and become a regular tradition for many people. Hailey and Nick Marques of Suisun City like to fly kites. It was a first for them to

visit the grassy hills of Lynch Canyon. “We have flown them on the beaches but never here,” Hailey Marques said. “I thought we probably should pull them out of storage and use them.” Michelle Dickey, a Solano Land Trust volunteer, was excited to see people coming out again for events. “The goal is for everyone to have a fun time,” she said. “This is a fun, free family event.” Much like Rydjord, Dickey also loves the outdoors and goes hiking as much as she can. She said she hopes people will come out to Solano Land Trust properties and enjoy the native spaces. “We have protected this land for the community and the wildlife,” Dickey said. “People can come and see the land the way it is naturally.”

Georgia Street overpass reopens

VALLEJO — Caltrans has reopened the Georgia Street overpass at Interstate 80 in Vallejo and is on track to reopen the Tennessee Street overpass late next week. The re-opening happened at 5 p.m. Friday for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians who need to access Georgia Street. State Department of Transportation crews were able to increase the vertical clearance to 16 feet, 6 inches to meet current federal standards. The Tennessee Street overcrossing will reopen May 13. Both were scheduled to reopen later in

May but the projects were completed ahead of schedule due to favorable working conditions. Completing the projects sooner than expected will allow Caltrans to accelerate the project timetable for the Redwood Street overcrossing, the last part of the I-80 Six Bridges Project. Improvements on the Tennessee Street and Georgia Street overcrossings include higher vertical clearance so modern trucks can pass underneath and improved pedestrian walkways to make them safer to cross, Caltrans reports. Learn more about I-80 Six Bridges project at i80sixbridgesvallejo.com.

THE RISK of Becoming Infected with West Nile Virus A number of types of sources found within residential neighborhoods are capable of producing enough adult mosquitoes to bother not only the residents of one home but a number of homes in the area. These mosquitoes are also capable of transmitting West Nile virus! Water left standing for seven to ten days can produce mosquitoes during warmer weather. There are a number of simple precautions that can be taken to prevent this from happening...

Lois Gammon

March 25, 1921 - Aug. 8, 2020

Lois (Doidge) Gammon was born at home on the farm at 4:20 a.m. on Good Friday, March 25, 1921, in Prairieville Township, Brown County, Minnesota. She was the firstborn child of William Charles and Lulu Mae Doidge and had a younger brother, Charles. Without indoor plumbing or electricity, the farm life was challenging, involving long days and hard work. When Lois was old enough to attend school, her father hooked up the horses to the wagon and took her to the one-room schoolhouse that was a few miles away in the town of Evan. After high school graduation from Sleepy Eye High in 1938, Lois attended Mankato State Teachers College. She graduated in 1940 with her teaching credential and began teaching first grade. She met a fellow teacher named Mary Bertschi and they became instant friends. The friends’ lives quickly changed in 1944, when one day Mary said to Lois, ‘I just bought a new car. Do you want to go to California?’ Lois replied, ‘I’ve got $100.00, let’s go!’ So, at age 23, these independent women took off for California and decided to plant their roots. While working at Benjamin Franklin Jr. High School in Vallejo, Lois met George Gammon, a Physical Education Teacher who had just returned from being in combat as an U.S. Marine of World War II. They really hit it off, began dating, and quickly knew they wanted to get married. So, on a beautiful Thanksgiving Day in 1946, they wed in a small, intimate ceremony at an Episcopal church in Vacaville, California. Lois and George began their family with the birth of Catherine Irene on Oct. 4, 1948. Three years later Douglas George arrived on Sept. 25, 1951. Life became very busy with two children and George working as a teacher, while also completing his Masters Degree. Lois utilized her teaching skills with the kids and was a wonderful stay-at-home 1950s Mom. She was a fabulous homemaker, an excellent chef and an impressive seamstress. She was also known as the hostess with the mostest! In 1952 George accepted a Principal position at Travis Elementary School in Fairfield, California, so they decided to make Fairfield their home. Both Lois and

George strongly believed in serving their community. George was instrumental in the development of the Travis AFB Unified School District where he became the first Superintendent. Lois volunteered her time with a variety of activities. Once Cathy and Doug started Bransford Elementary School, Lois became the room mother of their classes, President of the PTA, as well as den mother for the Cub Scout and Brownie troops. Lois also served at the Community United Methodist Church in many capacities. There she taught Sunday School, prepared food for church events, helped in the kitchen, made crafts for the church bazaars, decorated for events, and provided secretarial assistance whenever needed. In addition, Lois was the ‘Welcome Neighbor’ representative for the City of Fairfield and made lifelong friends through that outlet. In 1958, Lois discovered, much to her surprise, that she was pregnant once again! Since Cathy and Doug were nine and seven, her first thought was, ‘Oh no, I thought I was done with the PTA!’ On March 26, 1959, the day after Lois turned 38… she gave birth to Barbara Kaye. The Gammon family enjoyed many camping and day trips to the mountains, ocean, and to the snow. Lois always prepared delicious homemade favorites for the trips that would typically include fried chicken, potato salad, and of course, a yummy dessert. The Gammon household was a great place to live with how Lois would decorate for each holiday and have really fun parties for all types of celebrations. In 1979, twelve of Lois’ friends formed the ‘S & B’ group, later known as the ‘Social Butterflies.’ They would meet together weekly to work on crafts, share goodies and recipes, help with local needs, as well as chit-chat about what was going on in their lives or within the community. This group is still active with the remaining original friends, along with the addition of their daughters. Lois also joined multiple Bridge groups and enjoyed playing other card games. In June of 1980, George retired from being the Superintendent of Travis AFB schools. He and Lois went on their very first trip to Hawaii, which was a gift from his colleagues. They continued along with life doing fun things like going to football and basketball games,

camping, bowling and enjoying time with their kids and grandkids. In November 1986, they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with a party at Community United Methodist Church’s Fellowship Hall. The ‘S & B’ group lovingly made a quilt that had individual squares representing their 40 years together. In January 1987, George passed away due to complications he experienced after his second heart surgery. After this significant loss, Lois needed to figure out how to move forward in life without her husband. She chose to join a travel group and go to places that she had only dreamed about. She went to New Zealand, Australia, England, Austria, Canada, and the East Coast. She thoroughly enjoyed every experience. Lois became an avid daily walker, participating in multiple 5Ks in her latter years, which inspired many to walk as well. She continued playing in card groups, bowling on leagues, and getting together with family and friends. In addition, Lois loved to go to concerts, complete crossword puzzles, arrange flowers, crochet afghans and read Nicholas Sparks’ books. In 2007 at the age of 86, Lois moved to Napa, California to be closer to family to help her as she aged. She continued with her 20-minute daily walks, enjoyed time with family and friends and even traveled by motorhome to visit her brother and his family in Minnesota and her daughter Cathy, in Indiana, at the age of 96. Lois was a strong and gracious woman, the matriarch of the family…beautiful, both inside and out. She was spunky, intelligent, had quick-witted humor, was fun-loving and good natured to the very end. She cared deeply for her family, friends,

and neighbors, and made everyone around her feel special and loved. Her daughter, Barbara, says, ‘In her final days, we enjoyed the sporadic responsive moments with her by sharing memories and notes that family and friends had written to her, as well as videos made for her. The day before she passed, our daughter Chelsea (Lois’ youngest granddaughter) called her Grandma and sang her favorite songs to her. Lois softly uttered the words ‘I love you’ to Chelsea. Oh, what a precious gift that was. On the day my Mom took her last breath, she opened her eyes big and bright and said, ‘Thank you,’ then peacefully passed away in my arms at home with us at 10:41 a.m. on Aug. 8, 2020, at the age of 99 years, 4 months and 14 days.” Lois is survived by her three children and their spouses, Cathy (Ron), Doug (Oriana) and Barbara (Marc); seven grandchildren; and sixteen great-grandchildren; as well as many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Lulu Mae Doidge; her husband, George Gammon; daughter-in-law, Geraldine Gammon, her adventurous friend, Mary (Bertschi) MacVitie, and so many other dearly beloved friends. A Celebration of Life will be held in Fairfield, California on Sunday, May 15, 2022. If you would like to attend, please email: loisgammoncelebrationoflife@ gmail.com or call (707) 815-5735 by the end of day on May 8, 2022.

Martha Day

Sept. 25, 1939 – April 25, 2022

Martha Day passed away peacefully on April 25, 2022 in Twin Falls, Idaho. She was 82 years old. She was born Martha Ann Richter in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Sept. 25, 1939 to parents, Otto and Johanna Richter. From an early age Martha was blessed with the gift of music which she shared with others throughout her life. Some of her fondest memories were playing the piano and organ in home and church, teaching piano lessons, and singing in a community choral group, the Dulcetones, for over 10 years. Many accomplishments highlighted Martha’s life.

Obituary Madonna Jeanne Spurlock Dec. 3, 1933 - April 21, 2022

M a d o n n a Jeanne Spurlock, age 88, passed peacefully at home on April 21, 2022 after battling illness like a warrior. Madonna was one of nine children born in Minnesota to her loving parents, Eva and Laurence on Dec. 3, 1933. The family eventually left the farm in Minnesota and headed west to settle in Southern California. In 1957, Madonna met Bill at a dance and a true love story began. They had two children and a lifetime together. Madonna arrived in Fairfield in 1958. She was always willing to help anyone in need, and as a member of Holy Spirit Parish, as well as the mother of two students at the school, Madonna was constantly getting the opportunity to do just that. She was always there to help in any area where parents were involved at school. In 1972, she went to work as a Real Estate agent. Madonna’s nearly 50-year Real Estate career was legendary. Her intelligence, work ethic, kindness, and integrity led many to seek her mentorship which was happy to supply. These mentorships meant the world to Madonna. Madonna spent years helping Child Haven in Fairfield, an organization that was dear to her heart. She was a member of many groups, always looking for ways to help the community.

Madonna is survived by her two children, Tracey and Michael; sister Dore; her adored grandchildren, Jackie and Nick. Madonna is predeceased by her husband, Bill; and seven brothers and sisters. Celebration of Life will be held at noon Thursday, May 19, 2022, at Bryan-Braker Funeral Home, 1850 W. Texas St., Fairfield.

These well-loved resources need regular care to flourish. Human-generated trash degrades water quality, impacts water system functionality and is hazardous to boaters, recreators and wildlife.

Groups partner to bring food incubator program to Solano Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Solano-Napa Small Business Development Center, Solano Community College and Travis Credit Union have come together to offer a new program for aspiring food entrepreneurs. Food Incubator will give participants the opportunity to work with expert chefs and perfect their products in a commercial kitchen. Altogether, 13 chefs – a baker’s dozen – were invited to participate, at no-cost, in the six-week Food Incubator program. The cohort is meeting for four hours every Wednesday at Solano Community College for a combination of classroom training and kitchen labs led by business advisers from the Northern California SBDC Restaurant Program. All the participating chefs are relatively new to the food industry and are working on their products with the goal of starting a cottage, artisan food, home kitchen or catering business. “For some of our chefs, this is their first opportunity to work in a commercial kitchen,” Solano-Napa SBDC Director Tim Murrill said in a press release. “For four hours, they have an opportunity to focus solely on their business and their food product and learn from and work with two talented and

experienced chefs and business owners. Best of all, this entire experience is being offered to them at no cost.” The Solano-Napa SBDC was inspired to offer a Food Incubator program after a similar successful SBDC program in Oakland. Murrill was invited to the final night of that six-week training, where the chefs presented their products to guests. He said he knows there are many aspiring food entrepreneurs in both Solano and Napa counties. “Of course, you can always wish for something to happen but you need the funding and partnerships to be successful,” he said in the press release. “We were very fortunate to find generous partners in both Travis Credit Union and Solano Community College.” Travis Credit Union provided the funding for the training that allows the program to be offered at no cost to participants. Solano Community College opened its commercial kitchen and accompanying classroom space free of charge to the Small Business Development Center. The Food Incubator will continue to meet weekly through June 1. Just like in Oakland, the SBDC is planning a small event for participants to prepare and present their products to guests, a culmination of six weeks of hard work.

They include mistiming when a person retires, setting an inappropriate spending level, mistiming the start of Social Security benefits, sequence risks dealing with the timing of withdrawals from a retirement account, not to mention assorted tax issues. Then there are also risks that accompany tumultuous times. And we are certainly in the midst of a series of world and local events that warrant the term tumultuous. Media

CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

Journalists can shed light on thorny state issues

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Cost cutting would deal On the subject of with student debt issues abortion . . . It seems that the cancel crowd has picked another hatchet to hone. New age abolitionists that they are, the members of this chopping bloc are after student loans and IOUs. Extremists on their team are not content with a partial or percentage payoff, they want the entire kit and caboodle to vanish and they pressure our beleaguered White House daily. Multiple reasons are given for this desired debt demise, starting with the high cost of college tuition. You don’t have to look far for pork to pare. Thanks to a spasm of P.C. initiatives, higher learning centers now boast a pantheon of pedagogues, featuring a cornucopia of extraneous educators (and their secretaries, assistants, offices, etc.). You ask, “Do we need the extra expertise of a dean of diversity? The magnanimity of a dean of inclusion? The imagination of a dean of student activities? Pulling a few paychecks in the administration would help; the actual marketplace does it routinely. Then there is the problem with students who accrue huge loans but do not finish college, as in dropouts. Roughly 40% of the “loaners” run up a two-year tab, and then they, or the college, decide they are in the wrong situation, grade or otherwise. After all this misspent moolah, should admissions be tougher or easier? Lastly, there are the graduates who have a new career that is not lucrative enough to deliver them from debt. Another reason to suggest that majors, courses and classes in ephemeral “studies” may, although an easy map to matriculation, leave their followers few niches in a modern economy’s hiring arena. You can dabble in Macedonian pottery, but do not expect many job offers outside of a kiosk in Heraklion. Somehow, a degree in a whatever esoteric endeavor didn’t water any eyes at the last job fair, so don’t wail over a dearth of dinero. Also, an additional cost-saving in tuition could be found by downgrading some of these “majors” into “electives,” or good old character rounders, as this would thin out the faculty list of department heads and save an additional buck or two. In short, this issue can easily be alleviated by cutting campus extras, enhancing entry requirements, having a leaner and meaner faculty and only offering practical majors. Bill Ferguson Vacaville

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

t its best, journalism provides readers, viewers or listeners with information and analysis that empowers them to become better citizens, and that’s particularly vital in a state as bewilderingly complex as California. It’s no secret that as an institution, journalism has seen tough times of late. Its economics have been daunting, especially those of newspapers, and politically polarized voters often shun mainstream media in favor of outlets that pander to their personal biases. That said, there’s a lot of excellent journalism being produced in and about California these days for those who really want to know what’s happening, rather than patronize the purveyors of propaganda. And Dan Walters while one could cite dozens of examples, a few recent journalistic exercises display the quality, in no particular order: n Dale Kasler and Ryan Sabalow, ace reporters for my old employer, the Sacramento Bee, describe in great detail how some victims of the wildfire that wiped out the small town of Paradise four years ago have been victimized again by shoddy contractors who promised to rebuild their homes. “Two homebuilders, Cubic Quarters and Aurora Ridge Homes Inc., have taken in more than $1 million from Paradise residents – in many cases, the bulk of their insurance settlements,” Kasler and Sabalow wrote. “The companies didn’t finish any of the homes they were hired to build, although a contractor who stepped in for Aurora Ridge has completed three projects. “Their customers’ stories suggest that California sometimes fails to protect its wildfire survivors from further harm – a glaring problem as climate change fuels an era of mega-fires.” n Bloomberg, an online financial news service, describes the fascinating conflict between two immigrant businessmen over how a deteriorating Los Angeles street should be redeveloped. Shaul Kuba, an immigrant from Israel, runs a major league real estate company and wants to remake West Adams Avenue as a hip destination for young professionals, but Jamal Sheriff, who immigrated from Sierra Leone and is a West Adams businessman, stands in his way. “What’s happening on West Adams, in real estate terms, is called ‘placemaking,’ or, as Kuba puts it, ‘merchandising’ the boulevard after decades of decay,” Bloomberg’s Peter Waldman writes. “Others might call it neighborhood flipping, or just gentrification. It’s happening in a highly racialized context, sometimes with the backing of the city and the police, in a place that, despite its troubles, had a proud, eclectic identity long before Kuba showed up.” n Washington Post writer Scott Wilson delves into Sacramento’s homelessness crisis, projecting that California’s capital city exemplifies the entire state’s frustration despite its deep blue politics. “The despair and frustration here mirrors how much of the state, as well as many major cities across the coastal West, are feeling about the worsening humanitarian crisis of homelessness,” Wilson writes. “For years, Democratic governments in California have tried to solve the problem by helping finance affordable housing in some of the most expensive real estate markets in the nation. The issue has been stubbornly resistant to the billions spent on resolving it.” By happenstance, as Wilson’s deeply sourced article was appearing in The Washington Post last weekend, CalMatters was publishing my own column that, albeit much more briefly, delves into the same dichotomy. n Finally, CalMatters unveiled its latest voter guide. An immense amount of work goes into producing the guides for each election cycle, giving voters the straight dope about those seeking office and often confusing ballot measures. Californians have amazing access to journalism about issues that affect their lives – if they want it.

Evil speaks and evil does. Leaks are often egregious – especially if they involve the Supreme Court. But even more egregious is the apparent spiritual depravity of such a large number of people. Various statistics, however, reveal that those favoring infanticide are in a minority; they are just more rabid. Now Californians are “mod” – we can not be held responsible in certain circumstances for the death of a child up to one month after birth. But why is that OK in a land where killing an adult is not? It is sad that considerations of life have become politicized. Is the Republican Party the only one concerned with this type of moral integrity? The only real “insurrection” here is the egregious disobedience of God’s word. What happened to “thou shall not kill?” Any court justice who votes to continue Roe v. Wade is asking for eternal judgment. While the competency of a party is extremely important, it takes a far back seat to moral integrity. And no amount of thoughtfulness of a political party can compensate for a lack of moral integrity. No one can rightly or absolutely trust all aspects of any party, but when you look at their platform or actions, which will you choose? Unfortunately, even a righteous Supreme Court cannot produce a righteous populace, but it may strongly encourage it. An unrighteous court, conversely, will certainly discourage moral integrity. It appears many people would like to use the Supreme Court to assuage their consciences. One possible regret of losing Roe v. Wade might relate to rape pregnancy. But God or “justice” has proven to bless many such conceptions. There are many examples of how thwarted abortions have resulted in extraordinary life and contributions to society. True medical reasons for abortion may allow legal exemptions. William Coburn, M.D. Fairfield

Hispano del Condado de Solano/ Hispanic Community Center of Solano County.” According to an article published by U.S. News in 2021, Solano County is the sixth most diverse county in the U.S. with a total population of 453,491, of which 28.3% is Hispanic or Latino (128,338 people). Back in 2015, the most common non-English language spoken in Solano County was Spanish at 15.2%, which means at least 68,930 people would benefit from this center. Many Solano County departments offer services in Spanish, however it is hard for the community to know where to go to find them and they have to rely on their friends or family to find out a way to find the correct department or person within the department who may help them. To solve the above issues, I believe there should be a central place in Solano, where people could go to look for information for any need they may have. It shouldn’t matter if they are looking to get a job, to start a new business, to file for divorce or child support, to get resources for their kids, like scholarships, help with food, housing, etc. The center could have all the lists of current organizations and departments at the city and county level that may help them with their specific needs and refer them to the organization that will be able to help them. Finally, to make it easily accessible for all people in the county, the city I propose is Fairfield, because it’s already the county seat and is centrally located (any resident could access the center within 30 minutes of driving time).

OK for thee but not for me? So, it has been a month (that’s 30 whole days) since Lori Wilson’s party signs have been hanging all over Suisun City. They are faded, painted and quite frankly add to the already existing state of “trash” that everybody else seems to deposit on their merry way. But why? Why hasn’t “The Mayor,” the example, seen fit to remove them and be that shining example of her proclaimed, “Let’s make Suisun beautiful!” campaign? Instead, those signs sit and fade and decay much like our streets, sidewalks, “landscape” and our homeless encampment. Yes, Mrs. Mayor, be that example! Rob Thomas Suisun City

Pandemic exposed mental health divide among college students, study says The Washington Post The coronavirus pandemic has revealed a deep divide between college students – young people with the most amount of concern about the virus tended to struggle more than others with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, according to researchers at Dartmouth College. “The pandemic has put students on a literal mental health roller coaster, mostly heading downward,” Andrew Campbell, a researcher and computer science professor, said in a news release. Using smartphone data, he and other researchers have been able to track the highs and lows many students experienced over the past two years – from rushing off campus at the start of the pandemic, to feelings of isolation while taking classes online, to returning to campus and having new social interactions. Campbell began studying the habits of about 200 Dartmouth student volunteers in 2017. Each student was introduced to an app called StudentLife – which Campbell helped to develop – that sits in the background of their phones, quietly collecting data on their phone usage, sleep duration and sedentary behavior. The app also delivers weekly assessments so students can report updates

about their stress levels and mood. “Before there was any sign of the pandemic, I was really interested in the rising rates of depression in the general student population,” Campbell said in an interview. When the pandemic hit, researchers started using StudentLife to ask students about their concerns surrounding the coronavirus. They discovered students were feeling more anxious and depressed than they had in previous years as they slept less and spent more time on their phones. Researchers also learned that students most concerned about the pandemic – users were asked questions about how worried they were for themselves or their friends and family – reported higher levels of stress. They also traveled less, slept more and spent more time on their phones. It is unclear why some students had higher concerns about the virus than others – researchers did not analyze demographic data – but the information gleaned over the course of the study does provide insight into how the pandemic has affected students. With the study ending this year, Campbell said he hopes to make the data set public so the academic community can “mine different behaviors we haven’t looked into.”

Located at the northeastern tip of the battle zone, just 25 miles from the Russian border, the city has been under relentless bombardment since the war’s earliest days. But Russia’s grinding onslaught continued in other parts of the country. On Saturday, a Ukrainian official accused Russia of dropping a bomb on a school in Bilohorivka in the Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine. Serhiy Haidai, head of the region military administration in the Luhansk region, posted on Telegram that about 90 people were taking shelter inside the school. So far, he reported, 30 people had been rescued from the rubble. “Almost the entire village was hiding,” he wrote, noting that the school offered the only underground refuge for the community after the town’s social club was hit. “The basement of the school was the only place of salvation, but the Russians took this chance from people.” In an operational report early Saturday, the Ukrainian army said that its troops have been waging a counteroffensive near Kharkiv, and that Russian forces had blown up three road bridges in an attempt to slow down that push. While the city itself has remained in Ukrainian hands throughout the war, the Russian army has used captured outlying areas as a base from which to batter the city, which was home to about 1.4 million people before Russia launched

its unprovoked invasion. Ukrainian forces reported Saturday that they regained control of the town of Tsyrkuny, about 10 miles northeast of central Kharkiv. Ukraine also claimed to have destroyed a Serna-class Russian landing craft in the Black Sea with a drone strike. Satellite photos analyzed by the Associated Press showed Ukrainian drones had flattened most of a Russian-occupied island’s buildings, as well as what appeared to be a Serna-class landing craft. The Ukrainian strikes on Snake Island appear to have drawn a fierce response. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said that Russian aircraft shot down a Ukrainian Su-24 bomber, Su-27 fighter jet, three Mi-8 helicopters with paratroopers and two Bayraktar-TB2 drones near Snake Island, according to Russia’s state news agency Tass. Russia also fired six cruise missiles on the southern port city of Odesa. According to a statement from Odesa’s city council, four missiles hit a private furniture company and destroyed high-rise buildings in a residential area, and two missiles struck the runway and flight control drive of Odesa airport. No casualties were reported. “The enemy continues not only the physical destruction of the region’s infrastructure, but also the psychological pressure on the civilian population,” the Ukrainian military’s Operational Command (South) posted on Telegram after the attack. “The Ukrainian nation is unbreakable.” After a string of stinging setbacks for Russia, Ukraine is wary that Moscow will lash out in frustration. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in his late-night video address Friday, implored Ukrainians to exercise caution over the weekend

in advance of Russia’s annual Victory Day celebrations Monday. On Saturday, larger numbers of troops than usual could be seen patrolling the streets of Kyiv, the capital. “I ask all our citizens – especially these days – not to ignore the air-raid sirens,” Zelenskyy said. “Please, this is your life, the life of your children.” More than 5.8 million refugees have fled fighting in Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion in late February, according to the United Nations, and Jill Biden, visiting Romania on Saturday, praised its government and those of other front-line states for taking in those trying to escape the war. “I think this is really, unfortunately, just the beginning – just the beginning,” she said of the largest refugee crisis on the continent since World War II. The first lady spoke in Bucharest, Romania, on the second day of a fourday trip to Romania and Slovakia, both of which border Ukraine. In a show of support for Ukraine, the leaders of the world’s seven largest advanced economies, including the United States, will hold video consultations with Zelenskyy on Sunday. President Joe Biden will participate in the Group of Seven talks with the Ukrainian leader, which are meant in part to stress common resolve in response to the 10-week-old war, the White House said. The G-7 also includes Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Canada and Italy. On Saturday, a senior Russian lawmaker criticized U.S. involvement in Ukraine, accusing the Biden administration of “taking part in hostilities” against Russia by providing intelligence, not just weapons and equipment to Ukraine. “Washington essentially coordinates and develops military oper-

ations, thereby directly participating in the hostilities against our country,” Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the Russian State Duma, the lower house of parliament, wrote in a Telegram post. There is expected to be an abundance of bellicose Kremlin rhetoric associated with the holiday, which commemorates the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany, but Ukraine is also braced for potentially punishing strikes on civilian areas, or some new effort by Moscow to seize the military initiative in what Western analysts and military officials depict as a brutal but faltering offensive. In an analysis released Saturday, British military intelligence cited “a heavy toll on some of Russia’s most capable units” in fighting to date. Plagued by supply-line problems, heavy casualties and low troop morale, the Russian command last month broke off an attempt to seize Kyiv and shifted its attention to the eastern front. “It will take considerable time and expense for Russia to reconstitute its armed forces following this conflict,” the British assessment said. The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington think tank that has been monitoring battlefield developments, pointed in its latest assessment to the Ukrainian counteroffensive outside Kharkiv, saying Ukrainian troops “may successfully push Russian forces out of artillery range” of the city in coming days. In the ongoing battle for control of territory in the eastern Donbas region, the Ukrainian military said Saturday its troops had repulsed eight Russian attacks in the last 24 hours. Russia, meanwhile, stepped up what it says are attacks taking aim at Ukrainian infrastructure and Western-supplied weaponry.

could be in Vallejo tomorrow,” the letter states. “We have collectively come to an agreement that attempting to combat homelessness in Solano County requires a tremendous amount of city, county, state and federal resources. No one government alone has all the tools to address the looming crisis facing Solano County. Cities often have housing and law enforcement resources; counties have access to mental health, shelter and substance abuse resources; the state provides funding for major projects; and the federal government typically oversees the bulk of the low-income housing funding, vouchers and other major resources. We all must

work together as a team to leverage resources, share funding, preserve housing and lift our share if we are going to truly impact homelessness in Solano County and the region,” the letter states. “While the cities do hold the bulk of the developable land, housing stock and corresponding numbers of homeless residents, we need your help. The county has access to mental health, substance abuse, homeless and social services funding (CalFresh, CalWORKS, Medi-Cal and general assistance, etc.), personnel and resources that are vital to regionally addressing the homeless challenge,” the letter states. “In many cases, cities are not eligible to apply for certain grants

or funding streams. A shared strategic approach where we collaboratively leverage resources, personnel and funding is what we are seeking.” Supervisors Mitch Mashburn and Jim Spering organized the summit, but the county also has committed itself, in concept, to the Regional Impact Council’s Regional Action Plan as a framework for reducing and preventing homelessness in Solano County. While no funds have been allocated, the syllabus of the group’s work strongly suggests the need to share resources for housing needs across a number of the Bay Area counties.

Empress sets stage for ‘From Vienna With Love!’ concert Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VALLEJO — The Golden Age of the beautiful city of Vienna coincided with the phenomenal worldwide popularity of the romantic music of Johann Strauss. This was the era of the Viennese waltz, a style of popular music that dominated ballrooms and music halls for generations in every city on six continents. “From Vienna With Love!” on May 21 will feature festive music by Strauss, Franz Lehár, Robert Stolz and other renowned melodists of turn-of-the-century Vienna. “It’s hard to sit still when confronted with these ravishing and exhilarating rhythms, as much of this music was meant for dancing,” Maesto Thomas Conlin said in a press release. “Coming on the heels of the much more stiffly formal minuet, the waltz was considered by some to be far too dangerously sensuous.” Rated “R,” he said, for “romantic”. Soloists at “From Vienna With Love!” include the vocally and dramatically stunning Finnish American soprano Liisa Dávila partnered by tenor Alex Boyer, who enthralled the Empress Theatre audience in “Three Tenors! The Next Generation.” The Vallejo Festival Orchestra will be under the direction of Conlin, a Grammy award-winning conductor. The Empress Theatre is located at 330 Virginia St. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. For tickets or more information, visit Tickets: https://www.ticketfairy.com/ event/vallejo-festival-orchestra-concert21may2022.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, May 8, 2022 B3

Benedict Cumberbatch on Doctor Strange sequel: ‘It’s not all about him’ The Washington Post Many of the most-anticipated things about the new Doctor Strange movie involve everything but Doctor Strange. What will happen to Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), whose streaming success with “WandaVision” made her one of the most popular superheroes at Marvel Studios? How much will we see of America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), who in the comics is Latina and a lesbian? Will the X-Men make their Marvel Studios debut? What about Namor the Sub-Mariner? Could the original actor connected to the role of Iron Man, Tom Cruise, show up as the new Tony Stark? (OK, maybe that’s pushing it.) But Cumberbatch, returning to the role of Marvel’s superpowered sorcerer, perhaps the most self-confident of all Avengers, says he knew exactly what he was signing up for in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which is now out in theaters. And he’s fine with it. “This is a very crowded marquee with a lot of characters and a lot of plot, a lot of story, especially because we properly explore the multiverse in this one,” Cumberbatch told The Washington Post. “The complexities and layers of that mean yes, it’s a stand-alone feature with my character’s name in the title, but it’s not all about him.” After all, many of Cumberbatch’s big moments as Doctor Strange have come while sharing the screen. In 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” with no words and just one finger, he told Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man that it was time to die. He played a key role in another multiverse tale, last winter’s “SpiderMan: No Way Home,” the billion-dollar hit that has been the biggest movie in the pandemic era so far at the box office. Cumberbatch still gets opportunities to flex own his superhero muscles in the new film by playing multiple alternate universe versions of Doctor Strange. These include heroic, seemingly evil and zombielike versions of the superhero, who was created by the late Steve Ditko and Stan Lee and first appeared in Marvel Comics “Strange Tales” No. 110 back in 1963. Cumberbatch first dabbled with a Doctor Strange from a different world when he voiced the character in the animated series “What If . . .?” last year.

Ego seems to be the common denominator among the variants - he never works well with others. But Cumberbatch says Strange has to learn to rely on someone other than himself. “These parallel existences have a similarity about them but there’s also key differences,” Cumberbatch said. “It was a challenge . . . to create something that’s different but at the same time recognizably Strange. There’s an element of him that’s constant. But he’s still really injured by his ego and his arrogance and his belief that he has to be the one holding the knife. This film really undoes that logic and stresstests him in a way that means his evolution is such that he can’t operate as a solo entity. He has to collaborate.” The Avenger more experienced with alternate realities is Olsen’s Scarlet Witch, after her time on “WandaVision.” That show’s themes of grief and denial bleed into Olsen’s role in “Multiverse of Madness,” and she told The Post that Wanda and Doctor Strange are more alike than they realize. “I think these characters are meant to be in the same world together,” Olsen said. “It’s exciting that we actually get to put them in the same world because they have an understanding of each other. They’re both kind of independents in a way.” In the director’s chair is Sam Raimi, whom many consider to be the godfather of superhero cinema. Twenty years ago, he directed Tobey Maguire in the first “Spider-Man” movie, a film credited with opening the door to the current superhero dominance in the entertainment industry. “The guy is so humble, and he had a hard task. He was coming into this late and hasn’t done it in a while,” Cumberbatch said, referring to Raimi returning to superhero movies to replace original director, Scott Derrickson, who helmed the first Doctor Strange film in 2016 (and reportedly left over “creative differences”). “It wasn’t off-putting in the slightest to think about his strengths and his status in this genre and the horror genre, both of which are aligning in this movie. It just felt like a good fit and the right person to be taking this rich, complex character into the most bonkers story and adventure that he’s had to date.” Raimi said Cumberbatch eased the

director’s return to superhero moviemaking with his dedication. “He wanted us to be true to Doctor Strange and not play the obvious,” Raimi said. “He would always challenge me and challenge the material to be the best it could be.” Lately, a role as a Marvel Studios superhero is as critic-proof as you can get in Hollywood. The die-hards, and the box office money, will be there. Cumberbatch recognizes the growing divide between dedicated fanboys and the movie critics who would prefer superhero movies stop being made. He knows there are those who would much rather see him in movies such as “The Power of the Dog,” the Western that brought him an Academy Award nomination for best actor. But Cumberbatch credits “larger fare” such as Doctor Strange with allowing him to take on films such as “The Mauritanian,” the story of a Mauritanian man who spent 14 years in a Guantánamo Bay detention camp before finally being released in 2016, and “The Courier,” about a businessman recruited to be a spy in the Cold War. “I love doing both sort of sides to the cultural argument. I’m not interested in one or the other over one or the other,” Cumberbatch said. “We’ve always lived in a system that either through studios or stars has helped to finance smaller fare and draw attention to important stories that otherwise wouldn’t be told. ... And yes, we have to be on guard for any homogenized lack of choice. But you don’t have to look far to see there is a wide spectrum of art, and audiences are all about art. So live and let live.” Cumberbatch’s movies have faced minor barbs for their portrayals of LGBTQ characters, including “Power of the Dog” facing criticism from Sam Elliott and the “Doctor Strange” sequel reportedly creating conflict with Saudi Arabia. He says what’s at stake is much more than the politics around a movie, calling the latter situation an “expected disappointment.” “To think this is a historic issue is a massive underestimation of the real-world problems that people in excluded communities face” Cumberbatch said. “Another important aspect of making films on this scale: I’m able to highlight the fact that people are not

people who experience human rights abuses, have led the artists to create incredible pieces that are reflective of this mission.” All proceeds will benefit those who face

just excluded, but they are beaten, tortured and sometimes executed for their sexuality in 2022. I’m very proud to be an ally of those oppressed and sometimes underrepresented communities to promote equality that should exist in our lives.” Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange remains one of the most recognizable Marvel Studios superheroes, in part because of how dedicated he is to getting the comic-book look right. A key factor in his transformation: his goatee. His secret? “Keep it real,” Cumberbatch said, which he does with the help of a stylist. “As in don’t have a fake one. Without a man who knows what to do with a razor and a good bit of lighting and mirrors? I’d be at a loss.”

Our words matter today, and every day “And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14

People who have not been loved, who do not recognize how lovable they are, live as only partial beings. We can only be whole when love abounds for us all. Today, we think about mothers and this is a good thing. And, we need to think about the words we use as we celebrate. We need to remember that our words can be hurtful if we randomly wish Happy Mother’s Day to all whom we assume are mothers. For some, this is a day of mourning – perhaps the death of a mother, perhaps the death of a desire and longing to be a mother, perhaps the death of a child. Mother, whether a biological female or any person who gives mothering care is a good thing to celebrate. It is a good thing for us to remember that God, in all God’s revelations, gives mothering care to all of God’s children everywhere, in every situation. And God mourns with those for whom mothering has brought heartbreak and sadness. The words we use are a big part of the

FOR YOUR HEALTH

by Holiday Mathis

Today’s birthday Your magic formula for success starts with curiosity -- a most alluring quality that will keep you in the best and brightest company this year. Ask questions, even if you think you know the answers. Thinking you know the answers is disadvantageous, but the rewards you find as you continue to clarify the world will make you positively rich. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 7, 1, 18 and 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a terrific ear for sensing the truth, which will ring out for you in a way other information doesn't. Acting on facts allows you to change things for the better. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're friendly and inclusive, and yet still careful about who gets into your inner circle. It's not that you're afraid, more like practical. It's cleaner and smarter to keep some things on a need-to-know basis. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Brilliance sees a full spectrum of beauty, while mediocrity only recognizes itself. The reason you're noticing a wide range of extraordinary happenings now is because you yourself are remarkable. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Somehow the number of people who hear a thing at once will magnify the message exponentially. Public speaking can be precarious in this regard, and for today, everyone is safer to stick with the script. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The action calls for sensitivity. It will be tricky to strike the right balance of energies, but as aware as you are, you're likely to hit the perfect ratio of restraint to enthusiasm. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will bravely embark on a mission into the unknown. While negotiating the rigors of foreign territory, you'll learn something important about yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The word "don't" puts people on the defensive and reinforces negative aspects of behavior. Focus on the desired result instead and ask for it in as many ways you can think of. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Maybe you feel your pattern is very predictable, but people around you still don't seem to know what you'll do next. There are advantages to keeping mystery alive as long as possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because your open mind allows for a full range of possibilities, you'll soon have the sort of wonderful and weird experiences that defy description. It will be years before you figure out how to best tell the story. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). "Talk is cheap," they say... But if that were true, public speakers and spokespeople wouldn't be paid nearly so well. Words paint mental pictures that inspire action. Yours are definitely worth something today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You've dealt with enough surprises lately and you're ready for things to go as expected. Even pleasant surprises can be off-putting when what you really need is stability. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The secret to your success is that you don't show up once or twice, rather you do so consistently over long periods of time. Good things are coming to you, hard-earned and well-deserved. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Stephen Amell is working with his brother Robbie Amell on a sequel to the successful sci-fi crime drama "Code 8," a film that was initially brought to life through crowdfunding. Amell was born when the sun, Venus and Mars were all in Taurus, the Venusruled realm that covers money, physical strength, stamina and beautiful voices. Write Holiday Mathis at HolidayMathis.com.

Nobody should go through a mental health crisis alone. Seek help when it feels needed.

There is help available for those having a mental health crisis By Emery Cowan and Genevieve Mauritz SPECIAL TO THE DAILY REPUBLIC

icture this: It has been a bad day, week, month, year. Nothing is getting better, and it is getting harder to keep going through the motions. Part of you wants to be strong, to persevere and push through one more day, but there’s a part of you wondering if the internal pain is worth it. You wonder if the people you love would be better off without you; would they even miss you? These questions keep circulating no matter how hard you try to make them stop. Holding your phone, you try to decide what to do next. Hesitantly, you dial 911, not sure of what you will say or if anyone will even talk to you. Someone talks you through this. May is Mental Health Month and there is no better time than to raise awareness about mental health crisis, suicide prevention and services to support you and your loved one navigating out of crisis to recovery. Solano County Behavioral Health, in partnership with Pacific Clinics and local police departments, launched a community-based mobile crisis service last year. This service is now available to all cities in Solano County as of April. The concept is simple: You call 911 while a trained dispatcher listens and connects you to a mental health professional who can talk to you on

the phone or in person, with the intention of helping you no matter where you are. These trained professionals are dedicated to treating you with dignity, respect and unending patience. The team works to ensure everyone’s safety and to help you get whatever treatment you need quickly, with follow-up. From July 1, 2021, through March 28, 2022, the Mobile Crisis team responded to 204 callers. Of these callers, 58% were stabilized in the community, thus diverting individuals from emergency rooms, jails and hospitals, saving resources while preventing further trauma. In addition to the communitybased mobile crisis service, the Solano County Office of Education provides school-based crisis services to all six districts in the county. These services are available on campus during school hours and are provided by trained mental health professionals. The goal is the same, helping students on campus and reducing crisis and trauma. From Aug. 14, 2021, through March 28, 2022, the school-based crisis team responded to 198 calls. Of these calls, 76% of these students were stabilized in the community, whereas the remaining 24% were referred to the Crisis Stabilization Unit or sent to the emergency room for mental health evaluation. These services are essential to saving lives in Solano, but what is a mental health “crisis”? The National

Alliance on Mental Illness defines it as “any situation in which a person’s behavior puts them at risk of hurting themselves or others and/or prevents them from being able to care for themselves or function effectively in the community.” Examples include increased anxiety leading to panic attacks, suicidal thoughts or a suicidal action, like an intentional overdose. Did you know that in 2021 in Solano County, there were 54 suicide deaths, which was a 10% increase from 2020? Mobile crisis services are available to everyone, even if you are not quite sure you are experiencing a crisis. Community-based mental health care is critical to helping people engage in care. It is defined by the American Psychological Association as “activities undertaken in the community, rather than in institutional settings, to promote mental health.” The goal is to help you or your loved one navigate out of crisis while treating everyone with patience, respect and, above all, dignity. For more information about crisis services available in our community and efforts to prevent suicide deaths, visit www.solanocounty.com/depts/ bh or reach out to us at BHInfo@solanocounty.com. Emery Cowan is the deputy director and Genevieve Mauritz is an office assistant with Solano County Behavioral Health, alongside Solano Public Health.

Playoff roar finds a home in San Francisco Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors are playing postseason games in San Francisco for the first time in 58 years, but it’s no surprise the new memories rekindle those from their old home across the bay. After all, if it weren’t for the frenzied Oracle Arena crowds in Oakland that helped fuel the Warriors to five straight NBA Finals appearances, the team might not be playing at its state-of-

the-art downtown digs at Chase Center. The Warriors came away with a decisive 142-112 win over the Grizzlies Saturday night to grab a 2-1 lead in the playoff series. Steph Curry led the way with 30 points. Jordan Poole scored 27 points and Klay Thompson added 21. Ja Morant had 34 for Memphis but left the game early with an injury. “I think of them both very fondly, and I have great memories of the

other and I hope to create good memories here,” team owner Joe Lacob said recently. “But I really appreciate all the great new things this has and I think this is going to be one of the great arenas.” When the Warriors moved three seasons ago to their new venue across the bay, many lamented the decision, questioning how the fancy new $1.6 billion super-stadium would compare to the exuberant environment of its old home. For years, the

Oakland arena was considered one of the biggest home-court advantages in the NBA because of the rollicking atmosphere and energetic fan base. After two seasons in which the Warriors failed to qualify for the playoffs, Chase Center finally is getting its shot as a postseason stage. Warriors superstar Steph Curry commemorated the occasion by wearing special shoes for Game 1 of the team’s firstround series against the

Denver Nuggets. Black sneakers, bearing the Oakland name, were a nod to Oracle. “We hadn’t been in a playoff series since Oracle so it was kind of a passing of the torch,” Curry said. The Warriors won the series in five games, chants of MVP ringing throughout Chase as Curry stepped to the foul line in the final moments, yellow-and-blue streamers falling from the rafters at the final horn. “There were some

great moments,” Curry said, assessing the atmosphere for the first series. “It’s still a young building and environment and trying to find its identity, but it was loud at times . . . . It’s only going to continue to get better as the stakes get higher and higher.” To compare Chase and Oracle at this early stage is like “comparing apples and oranges,” said Warriors forward Juan Toscano-Anderson, See Warriors, Page B8

Rich Strike, with Sonny Leon up, wins the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, Saturday.

Rich Strike shocks racing world with Kentucky Derby upset win Tribune Content Agency In one of the most unbelievable races in Kentucky Derby history, Rich Strike, the longest odds on the board, ran down favorite Epicenter and Zandon in deep stretch to win the 148th Kentucky Derby on Saturday. The horse was lucky to even be in the race. He got in Friday morning when Ethereal Road scratched out. Rich Strike was the first also eligible. He carried the saddle cloth of the 21 in the 20-horse race. It was only his second win in eight starts. He hadn’t won since his second race, a maiden, at Churchill Downs on Sept. 17. It was only his

second time at Churchill Downs. So, he clearly likes this track. The race started with Summer Is Tomorrow and Crown Pride going to the front with blistering fractions of 21.48 seconds for the first quarter and 45.36 for the half. Messier was in a comfortable position right off the lead. By the head of the stretch Messier moved to the front as Epicenter made a bold move on the outside with Zandon not far behind. All eyes at Churchill Downs were on the pair as Messier had clearly had enough. Then surging on the inside came the little known and respected colt Rich Strike, who blew past

them to win the Kentucky Derby by three-quarters of a length. Rich Strike paid $163.60, $74.20 and $29.40. Epicenter was second followed by Epicenter, Zandon, Simplification and Mo Donegal. The colt is trained by Eric Reed and ridden by Sonny Leon. Reed picked up the horse in that first Churchill race for $30,000 for owner Richard Dawson of RED TR-Racing. This was thought to be one of the most competitive races in years with many storylines. Perhaps one of the most intriguing was Taiba, a horse that had only run twice. The colt

was moved from the barn of Bob Baffert to that of his former assistant Tim Yakteen. There was much speculation if the horse was facing too much, too fast. And there was also much made about the trainer Steve Asmussen’s streak of 23 straight losses in the Kentucky. You have to be pretty good to get 23 starters. In fact, Asmussen is the sport’s all-time leading trainer for wins. Epicenter was the horse that was going to change all that. The streak is now 24. The Triple Crown now moves to Pimlico Raceway in Baltimore for the Preakness Stakes in two weeks.

SAN FRANCISCO – Buster Posey had no farewell tour like Bruce Bochy. No late-season retirement announcement like Matt Cain and Jeremy Affeldt. The announcement of Posey’s retirement didn’t come until a Nov. 4 news conference, three weeks after his San Francisco Giants were bounced from the playoffs, so he never got a chance to say goodbye and thank you to his fans. Until Saturday. Buster Posey Day at Oracle Park featured a rousing pregame ceremony held for fans and some of Posey’s closest baseball allies to pay tribute to a seven-time All-Star catcher. It also offered Posey a chance to say farewell and thanks, officially. The Giants helped the celebration with a 13-7 victory that featured a grand slam by Wilmer Flores, and a pair of two-run homers by Darin Ruff and Mauricio Dubon. “It was very important for me to say thank you to the fan base,” Posey said moments after the ceremony. “There are some organizations, some fan

8 River City in West Sacramento. Vacaville is 14-14 overall and River City is 21-6. In Division 6, Buckingham is the No. 7 seed and will head south to take on No. 2 Mariposa County for a 4 p.m. game Wednesday. Buckingham is 6-11 overall while Mariposa County is 16-8. Two area teams are the Division 7 tournament. No. 8 Rio Vista heads to top-seed Delta at 4 p.m. Wednesday. Delta is 20-3 and Rio Vista is 12-15. In the other Division 7 contest, No. 6 Vacaville Christian will be at No. 3 Woodland Christian. Vacaville Christian is 12-8 and Woodland Christian is 18-5.

Armijo tops Fairfield FAIRFIELD — The Armijo baseball team came away with a 7-2 win Thursday over Fairfield in the regular-season finale for both teams. Armijo finished its season 8-7 in the Monticello Empire League and 14-12 overall. Fairfield was 0-15 in

the MEL and 5-22 overall. Joey Mason and Pat O’Reilly had two hits apiece for the Falcons. O’Reilly drove in a run. Jordan Dix had one hit and one RBI. Zack O’Reilly, Amari Bryant and Luis Pech also had hits. No individual statistics were available for Armijo.

Vacaville defeats rival Wood VACAVILLE — Bennie Dyer had a home run, a triple, scored a run and drove in another as the Vacaville High baseball team defeated Wood 4-1 Friday. Nick Vierra pitched a four-hit complete game for the Bulldogs, allowing only four hits and one run. Vacaville improved to 8-7 in the MEL and 14-13 overall. J.J. Menesini, Nathan Schnell, Cameron Malone and Lawrence Westbrook also had hits for the Bulldogs. Malone had an RBI. Bryce Mendez-Dichoso homered See Local, Page B7

bases that are just better than others, and this one’s at the top, the very top for me, obviously. “We all saw what baseball was like without the fans just a couple of years ago, so it should be fresh in our minds just how important they are to the game and the reason that we all come together at the ballpark.” Both of Posey’s managers, Bochy and Gabe Kapler, and many of his former teammates including Matt Cain, Hunter Pence and Brian Wilson, along with franchise icons Barry Bonds, Will Clark and Jeffrey Leonard, were on the field to pay tribute to the common denominator to three World Series titles. Easily, Molina was the funniest. The former catcher who was traded to the Texas Rangers in the middle of the 2010 season, clearing the path for Posey to become the No. 1 catcher, showed up wearing a Posey No. 28 jersey. At the end of his speech, he asked for two things: a Buster Hug and an autograph. He got both. Posey got up, hugged Molina and wrote “B MO THE BEST” on the jersey.

FAIRFIELD — In the 131-year history of Armijo High School, no girls team has ever run the 4x100 relay faster than the 2022 squad. Egypt Hughes, Anisteicia Kinsey, Sanai Wilson and Cierra Kinsey completed one circle of the track in 48.17 seconds to win the Monticello Empire League title Thursday night on the track at Will C. Wood High School. Vacaville won both MEL team titles. The Bulldog girls scored 176 points, followed by Vanden (90), Wood (74), Fairfield (49.5), Armijo (48) and Rodriguez (47.5). The Bulldog boys scored a whopping 216 points to finish ahead of Vanden (108), Rodriguez (85), Wood (52), Armijo (11) and Fairfield (6). Armijo won that girls 400 relay over Fairfield (49.26) with Simyah Williams, Mikelia Strong, Aubrey Stewart, Nevaeh Rivers. Vacaville (50.39)

was third with Lily Holman, Kayla Capossela, Mia Griego and Isabella Mason.

At Oracle, the crowd could generate an extraordinary level of noise, helped in part by a concave ceiling that reverberated the arena’s sound. It would get so loud that spectators couldn’t hear their own thoughts and some would bring ear protection to games even during the regular season. Thus, it came to be known as “Roaracle.” Now San Francisco is the home.
