Graduation season comes to a close across Solano Rodriguez, Early College graduates ‘make some noise’ Matt Miller MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Early College High School valedictorian Mashika Mrema stood before his fellow class graduates – and those from Rodriguez High School – and got a full Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium to roar Friday when he said, “This is the day we have been fighting for, for the last 12 years.

Make some noise!”

Mrema was one of the 64 Early College graduates who participated in commencements with the 446 from Rodriguez. Students from both schools filled up a large swath of half the football field – the graduates dressed in green and white robes to celebrate the achievement on a hot and windy evening.

FAIRFIELD — Public Safety Academy seniors took to the stage Friday at Willow Hall to get the much-coveted high school diploma.

The graduating class of 53 students dressed in dark blue graduation gowns, celebrated the success of four years of hard work with one final act for their school.

On one of the hottest days in June, Kris Corey, superintendent of the Fairfield-Suisun School District, spoke on how well the cadets exemplified the school creed.

The creed was referenced often during the ceremony. It says: “I strive to achieve academic excellence. I exemplify high moral character. I work diligently to prepare for the future. I know my success in school and in life is dependent on my own effort.”

“You all made a commitment to something bigger coming to PSA,” Corey said.

It was not easy, but they worked hard and persevered.

“I am looking forward

Class president Nolan Caragan’s speech was a little humorous and a tad serious. He talked about saying goodbye to uniforms, and shined shoes, and welcoming new clothing freedom, with hoodies but also how some students would be going to put on another uniform.

Some would be studying long hours and creating reports and giving presentations and

others would be looking at starting their own businesses.

“For all we do, stay true to who we are and what we like,” he said.

“In time our gifts will reveal themselves to us.”

The one big family is breaking up but his best high school memories will be of the times he spent with friends.

“You are some of the most good-hearted people I have ever met,” See PSA, Page A11

FAIRFIELD — The 541 graduates of the Armijo High Class of 2022 will carry into the future – some more consciously than others – the unfulfilled expectations of the two graduates who could not attend the commencement ceremony Friday.

Family members of Jarrell Butler and Jommel Infante accepted diplomas on behalf of their loved ones who died during their senior years at Armijo High School.

They were described by one staff member as “Fairfield-Suisun’s finest.”

“It has been a very tough year at Armijo,” Kate Bollman said.

District Superintendent Kris Corey acknowledged the pair in her speech to the class as well.

And there were other challenges, including what Ria Patel, one of five valedictorians, described as “our two weeks’ vacation from school that turned into a year and a half.”

Still, there was plenty to cheer about, including that impressive roll of five valedictorians among a list of 73 highest

Moloka’i vacation shows isolation isn’t perfect, even in paradise

I

7,000 people), there are f you’ve dreamed of life on a deserted only a few restaurants, island, I’ve got the one grocery store and place for you: Moloka’i, two gas stations. one of the HawaiOn the entire island. ian islands.

Renting a condo near Warning: It sounds the beach was cheap great, but it’s only good. (less than $100 per I mean, it’s night). Fantastic, Hawaii, right?

Brad Stanhope right? Kind of.

Mrs. Brad and I Our condo was in the Like I was sayin’ recently spent 12 days private part of a hotel on Moloka’i, made famous as resort that went belly up (the that place Hawaiians with hotel, restaurant and golf course Hansen’s disease (leprosy) were were abandoned) in 2008, sent from 1866 until making it feel like a ghost town.

1969 (10 years after Hawaii The golf course largely returned became a state!). That area is to nature over the 14 years of still populated and you can visit benign neglect, leaving only cart as part of a chaperoned tour, but paths. The boarded-up hotel that’s just a small part of rooms and restaurant felt like the island. something from a post-apocaHere’s what we knew about lyptic movie. There were maybe Moloka’i before going: It is 40 people in a huge resort sparsely populated (only about designed for hundreds, who

reportedly paid upward of $400 per night to stay there in the 1990s.

Not now.

We learned a lot in our 12 days on Moloka’i. First of all, we discovered that all Hawaiian beaches aren’t created equal.

Beaches within walking distance of our condo were great, but the water was rough and choppy. Nobody seems to surf on Moloka’i and the few people on the beaches (most of the time, Mrs. Brad and I were the only people there) avoided the water because it was unpleasant.

We also learned that while we don’t need nightclubs and trendy restaurants while on vacation, it’s nice to have options. We ate four restaurant meals – three of them at a picnic table outside a hamburger

place, one a to-go order from the island’s only pizza parlor.

Otherwise? Microwaved meals, cold cereal, polish dogs.

It was magnificent to have so much time to relax – my favorite vacation perk is the opportunity to nap whenever the desire strikes and having an open schedule. We each read several books but learned that we need more than that.

Consider our normal schedule: Get up around 6:30 a.m. (no curtains in the condo, so it was light early) and relax for an hour. Then walk along the ocean on the deserted golf course for another hour. Then breakfast and a trip to the beach for three or four hours before coming home.

That made it about 1 p.m.

After a shower, it was 1:30 p.m.

Having more to do would be

helpful, even in paradise. Fortunately, we vacationed during the NBA playoffs, so there was a game at 2:30 p.m. or 3 p.m. every day so we watched that, ate dinner, then went walking again before sundown.

It was great.

Until it wasn’t enough.

It’s weird and seems ungrateful to say a Hawaii vacation wasn’t great. It was great. It was relaxing and it was Hawaii!

But it was also informative: We learned that completely unscheduled time, with no options, isn’t perfect.

It was trouble in paradise.

But, again to be fair, it was in paradise.

Why the war in Ukraine might make root canals more difficult closed because of contamination concerns – is only the latest. Hospitals are facing a scarcity of contrast dye used in diagnostic scans, the result of a Covid lockdown at the Shanghai plant where most of it is produced. As a consequence, hospitals from New Jersey to Washington state have been trying to ration scans for the most serious cases.

And early in the pandemic, the scarcity of personal protective equipment for front-line health care workers was a defining characteristic of the unprepared and haphazard response to Covid.

Such shortages are among the most-pressing patient-safety problems today, ECRI, a safety organization, said in a January roundup of the top safety concerns of the year. Shortages ranked second. “Unavailability of products could result in an inability to treat patients and protect staff, which could lead to injury, illness, or even death for both patients and clinicians,” the roundup said.

It noted that many areas have few key suppliers, meaning that a problem in a far-off corner of the world could send dominoes falling into the U.S. health care system.

The impact is being felt in the guts of body scanners and other medical machines.

“Helium is a terrific element for diffusing heat,” said Bob Karcher, a contract services executive for Premier, a company that offers group purchasing services to providers. “It’s used in large MRIs and CTs, to draw heat away from the source.”

Hopp said the helium supply has been con-

K aiser Health News Russia’s assault on Ukraine is being felt worldwide, and the U.S. health care system is not immune.

Both Russia and Ukraine are powerhouses in supplying certain commodities – in this case, ammonium nitrate and natural gas. These commodities, after being refined, can produce two gases crucial for the health care system: nitrous oxide, popularly known as laughing gas, and helium. They are used in millions of procedures each day. And crimped supplies could make every root canal that much more painful and every MRI scan that much pricier.

The disruption also represents more turbulence for the U.S. health care system’s supply chain.

“The shortages we are experiencing now have been years in the making and are therefore a surprise to no one,” said Wally Hopp, a University of Michigan professor who specializes in the medical supply chain. Hopp led a group convened by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to deliver a March report on securing supplies for U.S. industries.

These problems could’ve been addressed earlier by government and the private sector, Hopp said. “But now they can only scramble to cope with the crisis with the health of American citizens at stake,” he added.

The years since the pandemic began have been punctuated by supply chain problems.

The baby formula shortage – which began after a Michigan factory was

Russia is now sending relatively smaller amounts of natural gas to Western countries.

That has prompted other countries to transport gas to those nations via pipelines, rather than shipping it in liquid form.

These decisions affect the helium supply, as converting natural gas into a liquid entails removing trace helium, so shipping by pipeline has the unintended consequence of reducing the amount of helium for industrial use.

Other idiosyncratic factors also negatively affect supply: For instance, a Texas facility that produces helium keeps getting shut down for safety violations.

All of that together means higher costs for providers. Hopp said he had seen estimates that helium costs were about $34,000 per MRI machine in 2019. “It’s certainly higher than that now and heading higher,” he said.

“Worse, I’ve seen speculation from health systems that the shortage may get serious enough to force them to shut down MRI machines.”

David Facchini, director of radiology at Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, said the effects would likely hurt community hospitals the most. In the long run, he suggested, manufacturers may build machines that don’t need helium. But

that’s “months to years away,” he said.

Helium isn’t the only gas to run short. Nitrous oxide is used primarily by dental offices during surgeries. About 40% of ammonium nitrate – laughing gas’s source – comes from Russia.

Premier is “seeing price pressures, rising costs,” said Donna Craft, a senior director. That’s likely to hurt dental practices, which generally get an allotment based on normal and customary use. As the country emerges from the pandemic shutdowns, that baseline might be too low for practices seeing more patients or trying to expand.

What’s more, Karcher warned, the medical sector might find secur-

ing scarce gases to be tough. Suppliers might prefer to shop their wares to higher bidders outside health care.

ECRI says health care providers relied on a “just-in-time” inventory strategy – that is, to purposely keep supplies in low stock to avoid storage costs. That strategy is reasonable when everything’s tranquil. It’s less tenable when there’s a major land war and a pandemic.

Because these snarls are the product of decisions made years ago and solving them requires more than some quick stitch-up work, short-term reactions are “usually too little, too late,” Hopp said.

“Once a full-blown supply shortage is underway, the options available to the government are narrow.”

Il Fiorello provides relaxing weekend with lavender theme Susan Hiland

SHILAND@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

SUISUN VALLEY — Nadine Blaschak-Brown and daughter Kyra Brown shared a quiet motherdaughter day Saturday at Il Fiorello Olive Oil Company for the A Taste of Lavender event.

The olive oil company provided a relaxing and inviting day for about 25 visitors by reservation.

The day included a nice meal of roast chicken with a lavender martini, which was something new.

“It’s actually really good,” said BlaschakBrown, a Vallejo resident.

Her daughter Kyra Brown is visiting from college for a couple of weeks and was thrilled to spend the day with her mom at the tasting event.

“I came here with my parents a lot,” she said.

“It is just so good to be able to come home with Covid and all.”

Blaschak-Brown said it was perfect timing for the lavender event.

A Taste of Lavender sold out in record time with about 75 visitors planning to come through over the weekend.

The menu included roasted lavender chicken, herb baby potatoes, honey white wine sauce, garden salad, grilled zucchini and Purple Haze goat cheese with Lavender Lemon Bread – and for dessert, honey lavender gelato.

Il Fiorello co-owner Mark Sievers said this year’s offering included a class on growing lavender with Master Gardener David Key, and one on lavender wreath-making with Denise Revel of Girl on the Hill.

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday are scheduled to receive a presentation on a local homelessness action plan and outcome goals in order for the Behavioral Health Division to complete an application for $1.6 million in state Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program funds.

This is the third round of the stated funding.

The county received $1.83 million in the first two rounds.

“The local homelessness action plan must include a landscape analysis that assesses the current number of people experiencing homelessness and existing programs and funding which address homelessness within the (county),” the staff report to the board states. “There is a strong emphasis on coordination of efforts within a jurisdiction, and efforts to ensure racial and gender equity in program deliveries and outcomes.”

The local homelessness action plan must be placed in the agenda at a regular meeting of the board and include an opportunity for public comment before the county may submit its application to the state, according to the staff report. The deadline to submit the application is June 30.

The county intends to use the funding, if received, “to further

support its obligation to provide permanent supportive housing services for persons who are homeless and have a mental health or substance use issue for the additional (No Place Like Home) units currently under construction. In addition to the total of 44 units at Fair Haven Commons in Fairfield, there are 20 (No Place Like Home) units included in the Eden Housing project on Sacramento Street in Vallejo.”

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

A closed session follows the public meeting, during which the supervisors will be updated on labor

FAIRFIELD — The National Association of Counties has recognized Solano County for its outreach efforts after the LNU Lightning Complex Fire in 2020.

“In the aftermath of the devastation of the LNU fire, our staff went to amazing lengths to provide customer service at an unprecedented level – meeting people where they were in terms of needs,” Supervisor Jim Spering said in a statement released Friday by the county.

It was Spering who reached out to the National Association of Counties for the Achievement Award.

“I am very proud of the hard work they did and the compassion they showed while doing it.

Their efforts were innovative and successful in reaching 100% of the affected residents and are very worthy of this NACo Achievement Award,” Spering said in the statement.

The county staff,

through the Fire Survivor Outreach Program, reached out to more than 500 property owners after what was the most devastating fire in county history. Two men died. More than 300 homes were lost.

“The program ensured that survivors were provided with recovery resources, educated on what options they had for debris removal, and to prepare their properties for rebuilding. All of this was successfully accomplished while minimizing further trauma and during Covid-19 pandemic conditions,” the county statement said.

The Department of Resource Management and Office of Emergency Services were specifically recognized.

“Employees in these departments mobilized quickly to come up with creative ways to locate and contact survivors – since they were not reachable by traditional means of communication like cellphone, text, email See Program, Page A5

solano Susan Grotheer Lippstreu Dec. 18, 1930 — May 15, 2022

Susan Grotheer Lippstreu passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on May 15, 2022, after a courageous battle with congestive heart failure.

Susan Lippstreu was the daughter of Lloyd Andrews Grotheer and Dorothy Campbell Grotheer, longtime residents of Suisun Valley.

Susan’s grandparents, George Campbell and Ella Mae Robinson Campbell, August Grotheer and Jane Andrews Grotheer, also lived in Suisun Valley.

The Campbells and the Grotheers were all farmers in Suisun Valley starting in the 1880s.

Susan went 1st-8th grade at Suisun Valley School. She graduated as class valedictorian from Armijo High School in 1948.

She went on to receive her bachelor’s degree in education and teaching credential from Stanford University in 1952.

Susan married Ed Lippstreu in 1954. They had four children, Bruce (Jenel), Lynn, Carol and Jill (Brian). Susan was blessed with three grandchildren, Ryan and Logan Wagner and Parker Green.

Susan had four careers.

She taught 4th grade at Fairfield Elementary School. She raised four beautiful children. She worked for her own business with her husband Ed at Lippstreu Realty. She was a 4th generation farmer in Suisun Valley where her roots ran deep for the love of farming, so in 1983 when her father passed away, she continued the farming tradition at Grotheer Ranch.

Susan loved to play bridge with her friends.

She played golf at Green Valley Country Club where she served as the Women’s Golf Captain in 1972. She was a longtime member of The Open Book Club and Wednesday Club of Suisun.

She was appointed by the Solano County Board

Thomas McMasters-Stone April 16, 1955 - May 28, 2022

Battalion Chief Thomas Joseph McMasters-Stone, age 67, loving husband and partner, devoted father, loyal friend, and dedicated public servant, passed away at his home in Carnation, Washington on May 28, 2022.

Tom was born April 16, 1955 to Thomas and Karolyn Stone of Oswego, New York. Growing up, Tom was active in soccer and Scouting, and he graduated from La Sierra High School in Carmichael, California in 1973.

Shortly after, he began what would become a 30 year career with the Fairfield (California) Fire Department where he served in different command, support, and investigative positions. The effort he spent training and mentoring junior firefighters is still discussed at fire stations and BBQs throughout Solano County.

Tom’s second love was politics. While working full time, he graduated from SUNY Empire State College with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. Throughout the 1990s he was known for his heated debates in the editorial page of the local newspaper.

In 1998 he was elected to the Winters City Council and would later serve a two-year term as the town’s mayor. He was decades ahead of his time on many major political issues, and his various automobiles one of which was stolen and burned in a field were known for their left-leaning bumper stickers and license plates, to include ‘LIBERAL’. He was voted Winters Citizen of the Year in 2008.

He regularly gave Christmas presents to neighbor children. He once kicked a 53-yard field goal in the Solano County Pig Bowl. As a Little League

coach he preferred ‘good kids’ to good players, leading to famously-nurturing team environments but little success on the field.

He was an ardent supporter of Winters businesses and could regularly be seen at The Buckhorn, Pizza Factory and Steady Eddy’s.

He was proud of his legs and they were spectacular.

He is survived by his wife, Carol; partner, Pat; brother, Bill; sisters, Ellen and Marty; children, Tommy, Matt, Meghan and Erin; grandchildren, Noah, Maggie, Atticus and Harper; and above all, the numerous people whose lives he saved as a firefighter.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents; and the dozens of family dogs and rescue birds he loved deeply.

A memorial service will be held from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 18, 2022, at the 128 Hall and Kitchen, 1123 Grant Ave., Winters, California. Friends and family are welcome to attend.

Donations can be made in Tom’s name to the Skyland Ranch Addiction Treatment Center, 43100 Reiter Rd., Gold Bar, WA, 98251.

Fireworks explode over Suisun City Hall during in downtown Suisun City, in 2017. Fireworks are illegal in Fairfield.

Officials reiterate: Area fireworks remain illegal Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Local agencies again are reminding residents it is illegal to use, sell or discharge any type of fireworks or explosive devices.

The Fairfield Fire Department said that each July 4th, thousands of people, most often children and teens, are injured while using consumer fireworks. Additionally, millions of acres have been burned with catastrophic results due to various factors that include illegal fireworks.

Despite the dangers of fireworks, few people understand the associated risks – devastating burns, other injuries, fires and even death.

Any person who starts a fire in Fairfield from fireworks, even accidentally, can be held liable for the fire suppression costs as well as property damage costs. Additionally, anyone caught with illegal fireworks could face fines and even arrest.

The best way to stay safe from fireworks, the Fire Department said, is to not use them and instead attend a public fireworks display put on by professionals.

Vacaville Municipal Code Section 5608.1.2 states, “The man-

ufacture, possession, storage, sale, use or handling of fireworks or pyrotechnics of any kind, including those described as ‘safe and sane,’ is prohibited within the city limits of Vacaville as well.” The only exemption is that the fire chief may issue “special use” permits for the possession, storage, use and handling of fireworks and pyrotechnics by state-licensed contractors.

CommuVacaville’s nity Services Department provides a professional fireworks show every year in Andrews Park. The Fourth of July event includes music, vendors and more, including the fireworks show shortly after dusk, usually around 9:15 to 9:30 p.m. For more information on the free Fourth of July event, contact the Community Services Department.

Fireworks are also illegal in Suisun City.

The city’s Fourth of July celebration is back, however. This year’s festivities include food and retail vendors, amusement rides, community acts, live music and a fireworks show.

The city of Fairfield will have its traditional Fourth of July parade and festivities downtown. The parade begins at 10 a.m.

State board awards CWA $1.1M for Grizzly Island restoration project Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

SUISUN MARSH — A $1.11 million wetland and upland restoration project in the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area in Solano County has been approved by the state Wildlife Conservation Board.

The action was taken at the board’s May 26 meeting.

The grant was awarded to the California Waterfowl Association for the project to restore 458 acres of wetlands and

20 acres of upland nesting habitat, the state agency reported. The state Fish & Wildlife Service and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service are involved in the project as well.

The grant was part of $52.93 million awarded for five projects, the state agency reported.

The largest of the grants was $15.5 million to the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority to acquire about 385 acres in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach (Orange County) “for the protection of

upland and lowland habitat consisting of wetlands, vernal pools, marshlands, arroyos and coastal sage scrub that support both state and federally endangered species, and to provide for potential wildlife habitat preservation, restoration and management, wildlife-oriented education and research, and compat- The Grizzly Island Wildlife Area is seen in 2012. ible public uses.”

Funding for these projects comes from the Habitat Conservation Fund and voter-approved bond measures.

Garamendi, Warren introduce the ‘Stop Price Gouging the Military Act’ Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, joined Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, in introducing the “Stop Price Gouging the Military Act” this week, which will try and strengthen acquisition laws to help prevent price gouging by military contractors.

Numerous Inspector General reports, according to Garamendi, have found defense contractors regularly charge the military excessive prices, including $71 for a pin that should have cost less than a nickel and $80 for a drain pipe segment that should have cost $1.41.

Loopholes in current acquisition laws make it nearly impossible for the Department of Defense to obtain the data necessary to prevent price gouging.

to close those loopholes, tie financial incentives for contractors to performance, and provide the DoD with the information necessary to prevent future rip-offs.

“As chair of the Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, I know how much we pay for parts to keep military equipment ready,” Garamendi said in a press release. “We know that taxpayers and service members are routinely overcharged by defense contractors due to loopholes in current regulations. We cannot allow taxpayer money to be wasted to inflate the bottom lines of giant defense contractors.”

“All across the country, counties are working tirelessly to support residents and drive recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic,” National Association of Counties President Larry Johnson said in the Solano statement. “This year’s Achievement Awardwinning programs showcase how counties work every day to build healthy, safe and thriving communities.”

SUISUN VALLEY — Artists from around the area got to share their talents with the art lovers Saturday during the 24th Annual Art on the Vine event.

Mia Ho only began painting acrylic landscapes last year with the Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Arts Association.

The Vacaville native began painting before that and really enjoyed the experience. But it was her friends who saw her talent and encouraged her to get out and do an art show.

“I did not go to school for art,” she said. “But I love Bob Ross paintings.”

She bought a painting kit for her niece and looking at her working away on some paintings, wondered if maybe it would be fun to try doing some art herself.

“My co-workers were the ones that told me I should show my work,” she said.

So Ho joined the Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Arts Association and got support from the members and honed her skills. She felt ready to show the art she has created over the past few months.

She calls her budding new side business Mia Mya My Art. “Everybody has their own thing that they like about art. So it doesn’t sometimes matter what

Organizer Chevol Ockrassa is one of the board members for the Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Arts Association and stepped in for Dennis Ariza, who wasn’t able to make it this year.

“We have over three dozen artists this time,” she said.

BackRoad Vines Winery once again hosted the two-day art show.

They had live music with Solid Gold and Flashback playing Saturday.

Solid Gold will perform again at 11 a.m. Sunday and Netty & the Liberation Front performing at 3 p.m.

Lynn Larsen an art teacher at Rodri-

guez High School, for a second year brought art she created along with hand-crafted pins from students to raise money for the school’s art program.

“I don’t do events but we are out of resources,” she said.

With a slim budget, Larsen has gotten crafty with finding ways to bring art supplies to her students. One of her ideas was to attend various local events and any art that was sold would go directly to purchasing art supplies for the school year.

“Students were just tossing all these pieces out,” she said. “So I rescued them and decided I could do something with them. They were wasting a lot of paper and ink.”

Debbie Bast pours a glass of beer at Cast Iron Bar and Grill in Suisun City, Monday. Servers and managers

at 446 Solano businesses that sell alcohol have until Aug. 31 to complete the training required under new laws.

Deadline for new alcohol server training program is Aug. 31 Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Servers and the managers at 446 Solano County businesses that sell alcohol on-site have until Aug. 31 to complete the state training required under new laws that go into effect July 1.

“Alcohol servers and their managers must have a valid Responsible Beverage Service certification from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Servers and their managers must pass an online ABC administered RBS exam by Aug. 31 to be certified. If they are newly hired, they must pass the exam and be certified 60 days from the first date of employment,” the state agency said in a statement.

Two new laws are in play.

The first defines an alcohol server “as anyone that is employed at an ABC on-premises licensed establishment who is responsible for checking identifications, taking

customer orders, and pouring or delivering alcoholic beverages.”

The second law prohibits “a licensee from employing or continuing to employ an alcohol server without a valid alcohol server certification beginning on July 1, 2022.”

The ABC created a training portal for the three-step process: Register as a server; take training from an approved training provider; and return to the portal to take ABC’s alcohol server certification exam.

The portal can be accessed at https://abcbiz.abc.ca.gov. The cost to register is $3. Online training varies, but ranges from $5.99 up to $20 per person. In-person training is more costly.

Businesses can review the ABC RBS Certified Training Provider list at https://abcbiz.abc.ca.gov/ trainingProviders.

The goal of the program is to lower the number of alcohol-related deaths and injuries.

More than 9,000 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes in California between 2009 and 2018, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A Rutgers University study shows some states that implemented responsible beverage service laws saw a drop in deaths involving underage drinking drivers, the state agency said in its statement. Oregon was the first state to adopt a mandatory alcohol server program in 1986, and by 1989 single-vehicle nighttime crashes were reduced by 23% according to a joint study by the Prevention Research Center and the University of Minnesota.

“By working with approved training providers, ABC hopes to reduce incidents like these, as well as other alcohol-related harm,” the state agency said in its statement.

Prospective RBS training providers are encouraged to submit their applications for review to ABC on the portal.

Inflation quickens to 40-year high, pressuring Fed and Biden Bloomberg News U.S. inflation hit a fresh 40-year high in May, unexpectedly accelerating in a broad advance that pressures the Federal Reserve to extend an aggressive series of interestrate hikes and adds to political problems for the White House and Democrats.

The consumer price index increased 8.6% from a year earlier, Labor Department data showed Friday. The widely followed inflation gauge rose 1% from a month earlier, topping all estimates. Shelter, food and gas were the largest contributors.

The so-called core CPI, which strips out the more volatile food and energy components, rose 0.6% from the prior month and 6% from a year ago, also above forecasts.

The figures dash any hope that inflation had already peaked and was starting to simmer down. Record gasoline prices,

paired with unrelenting food and shelter costs, are exerting strong pressure on Americans’ cost of living, suggesting the Fed will have to pump the brakes on the economy even harder. That raises the risk of a recession, which some economists already saw as likely next year.

Two-year Treasury yields jumped, stock futures fell and the dollar rose after the report. Traders fully priced in three 50-basis-point rate hikes over the Fed’s next three policy meetings in June, July and September.

In May, prices for necessities continued to rise at double-digit paces. Energy prices climbed 34.6% from a year earlier, the most since 2005, including a nearly 49% jump in gasoline costs. Gas prices so far in June have climbed to new highs, signaling more upward pressure in coming CPI reports and therefore keeping the Fed in the hot seat.

Grocery prices rose 11.9% annually, the most since 1979, while electricity increased 12%, the most since August 2006.

Rent of primary of residence climbed 5.2% from a year earlier, the most since 1987.

There are growing risks that price pressures in those categories will continue to build. Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, as well as stepped-up related sanctions; potential port disruption due to the upcoming West Coast dockworker contract expiration; Covid-related lockdowns in China and drought and could all contribute to higher prices for food and energy.

That likely spells further trouble for President Joe Biden, whose approval ratings have sunk to new lows ahead of midterm elections later this year. While the job market remains a bright spot, decadeshigh inflation is crippling confidence among the American people and largely outpacing

who have the savings to support discretionary spending, as well as tight labor market conditions will likely maintain upward pressure on services inflation in the coming months.

So far, consumer spending has held firm in the face of inflation, supported by savings and credit cards. Some economists fear that the Fed will go too far in tightening policy, risking weaker spending.

Shelter costs – which are the biggest services’ component and make up about a third of the overall CPI index – rose 0.6% from April, the most since 2004, and 5.5% from last year, the most since 1991. Economists don’t expect housing inflation to peak until later this year, suggesting further increases in these categories.

Used car prices, which had been cooling in recent months, advanced 1.8% in May, the most this year. New-vehicle prices climbed 1%.

wage gains.

Inflation-adjusted average hourly earnings fell 3% in May from a year earlier, the biggest drop since April 2021 and the 14th straight decline, separate data showed Friday.

Furniture, including bedding, was one of the few categories to post a monthly decline. Prices for goods such as apparel, meanwhile, continued to climb, contributing to the strongerthan-forecast core figures.

Before the report, economists had already revised up their estimates for year-overyear inflation through the third quarter of 2023, according to the latest Bloomberg survey.

Airfares rose 12.6% in May, a slight moderation from the prior month but still up the most on an annual basis since 1980. Prices for hotel stays, meanwhile, were up 22.2% year-over-year. Rising demand for travel and entertainment this summer, particularly among wealthier households

CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

Ballot measures will dominate upcoming election

L

ast week’s primary election told us that there will be very little drama in November’s general election visà-vis California’s statewide offices.

With one potential exception, Democrats will continue to hold all of them.

Instead, voters will be pounded with pitches for and against a clutch of high-dollar ballot measures.

Gov. Gavin Newsom. Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, Secretary of State Shirley Weber, Treasurer Fiona Ma, Attorney General Rob Bonta, schools Superintendent Tony Thurmond and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla will face only token Dan Walters re-election opposition in the November election.

Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara is not a shoo-in, because he might be facing fellow Democrat Marc Levine in the November election. However, three Republicans have a chance to finish second in the top-two primary balloting and if Lara has a GOP foe, he’s a strong favorite thanks to a lopsided voter registration advantage.

The one real question mark is the state controller’s position, which is open because the Democratic incumbent, Betty Yee, is being forced out by term limits.

Republican Lanhee Chen, a Stanford University lecturer and former advisor to national GOP figures, has drawn an extraordinary amount of editorial board support and will likely top the field when all votes are counted. Malia Cohen, a Democratic member of the state Board of Equalization, is Chen’s probable November foe and his candidacy is a test of whether the GOP has a future in this deeply blue state.

With the paucity of drama in statewide office campaigns, the November election’s major focus will be on ballot measures, topped by a high-dollar duel over who, if anyone, will control gambling on sporting events.

Indian tribes that now dominate casino gambling in the state are divided over whether to pursue a tribal measure to limit sports wagering to their casinos, which has already qualified for the ballot, or concentrate resources on defeating a rival measure proposed by a coalition of online gambling companies.

Tribes committed to an opposition strategy are already broadcasting and streaming ads aimed at the online betting measure, alleging that it will cause gambling addiction. The opposition coalition plans to place its own online measure on the 2024 ballot if it can defeat the corporate proposal.

Sports wagering, however, is not the only issue that will face voters. Others likely to make the ballot include two measures that would raise income taxes on high-income Californians, one for pandemic preparedness and the other to subsidize electric vehicle purchases.

The latter is sponsored largely by Lyft, a major rideshare corporation, and has been criticized as a corporate effort to make taxpayers underwrite a state requirement that Lyft and other companies, such as Uber, electrify their fleets.

Other pending initiatives would guarantee state funding for arts and music in the schools, reduce single-use plastic packaging and impose new staffing requirements on dialysis clinics. Previous union-backed dialysis measures have failed.

A measure to raise the state’s minimum wage to $18 per hour, sponsored by wealthy Los Angeles investor Joe Sanberg, might make the ballot, but only if it meets the signature requirements by the June 30 deadline.

Finally, a referendum would overturn a state ban on flavored tobacco products – the latest example of corporate interests turning to the ballot to escape new regulations imposed by the Legislature.

The initiative and referendum processes were brought to California more than a century ago as a way for voters to assert their will over a Legislature then dominated by corporate interests. However, they have largely evolved – or devolved – into ways for corporate and other special interests to have their way, as this year’s crop of ballot measures proves anew.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Please read the Second Amendment I’m sickened by the slaughter of 19 children and two teachers at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. I am sick of those who insist that the Second Amendment entitles them to possess assault weapons. They completely ignore the very subject of the Second Amendment. It says, “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

I’m sick of people bastardizing the Second Amendment. The murderer in Texas purchased two assault rifles, AR-15s. His name is Salvador Ramos and he was not a member of a “wellregulated militia.”

Kyle Rittenhouse is not a member of “a well-regulated militia.”

I could go on.

Ten out of 11 mass shootings in the past decade involve AR-15 style rifles (as of March 2021).

Look at the whole purpose of the Second Amendment, to form well-regulated militias in the states. Many states already have well-regulated militias — they’re called the National Guard. When will this insanity end?

Bring back the assault weapons ban.

Stop the slaughter.

Response to recent Batson column About a year ago I wrote a response to Jack Batson’s “On the Left” column which he closed by suggesting that “thoughtful Republicans protest by re-registering as Independents.” I responded at the time that would result in a weakening of the Republican Party and essentially be a lock for future Democratic Party’s liberal non-bipartisan agenda into the future.

In a recent “On the Left” column, Mr. Batson conceded that in his just previous column, he had created some controversy by stating, “A vote for any Republican is a vote for deceit and white supremacist autocracy.”

Then at the conclusion of that same column, acknowledging the controversy, closed with, “Too many nice average Republicans don’t seem to understand the danger: single-party dictatorship. I’m really, really worried.”

I wonder if Mr. Batson does not see the irony of his words. We in California are experiencing exactly that. The governor, both U.S. senators and the majority of state offices are currently held by Democrats. But I guess since he agrees with those folks, the single-party dictatorship is OK with him. He’s not “really, really worried” about that.

Even our federal government is dominated by Democrats. The presidency, The Senate (however slim) and the House of Representatives. I guess that party dictatorship is OK, too.

It sounds to me like Mr. Batson is not “really, really worried” about a one-party dictatorship, but which party has it.

It is a tragedy in Texas What a calamity! The poor parents having to suffer such a loss of their baby children. For anyone who hasn’t

experienced such loss, there is no way of fully appreciating such a catastrophe. This is a sad commentary on the way civilization is heading. Some Bible prophets and scholars believe that such events as well as other evils in government are indicative of the approaching “tribulation.” Yes, stricter gun laws are needed but it would only be a “Band-Aid” for the monstrous evils in the world. Such events are symptoms of a sickness in society with a progressive deprivation of God’s truth.

Where is the outcry of the 60 million (est.) aborted souls since the Supreme Court approval of Roe v.

Wade about five decades ago?

But, there is one very important consolation for the grieving parents and relatives. And it will never be mentioned or even thought by the mass media.

Do you know the eternal destiny of these murdered children? I believe they are all under the age of spiritual accountability (generally accepted to be between 12 and 16 years of age).

That means that all of these children will be in heaven. But as a stranger, only the Lord can judge the fate of the murdered adults. Statistics show (based on self surveys and biblical indications) that with any random group of adults there will be a large percentage who by careless disbelief or outright rejection of the Gospel will end up in perdition!

Even if the parents have not accepted Jesus as savior, don’t they know that they have a great reason to be consoled? If they agree, this is a great stimulus for them to shore up their spiritual status so as to one day join their departed ones in heaven.

Jesus said (John 14:6) “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

William Coburn, M.D. Fairfield

Enough is enough!

Here we are again. Another 19 children and two teachers gunned down in their school.

A young male was allowed to purchase two semi-automatic long rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition days after his 18th birthday without a concern from anyone in the state of Texas. He was able to unleash hell in the small town of Uvalde. It is hard to believe that law enforcement really approves of American citizens owning semi-automatic long rifles with high-capacity magazines, body armor and Kevlar helmets. Politics in this country is so toxic that law enforcement is forced to align themselves with a political party that claims they are anti-crime while the other party is seen as soft on crime and “coming for your guns.”

Details are evolving but the killer in Uvalde was engaged by “a good guy with a gun” and that was not enough to prevent him from entering the school.

The joke of a press conference by Governor Abbott, Senator Cruz and Senator Cornyn showed how disconnected they are from the communities that must deal with these tragedies.

Why don’t these cowards have to travel to the crime scene and see for themselves what a high-velocity bullet does to the human body? These cowards get to go home to their families day after day while more Americans become gun violence survivors with PTSD. We need another Emmett Till moment where the American people need to see what a high-velocity bullet does to 10-yearold human flesh. The news of this latest tragedy brought tears to my

eyes just like it did after Sandy Hook.

What really made me cry was learning that the community of Uvalde did not have a medical examiner so the job of identifying the remains of the children fell in the hands of the justice of the peace. Like Sandy Hook, many of these children could not be identified by a simple picture supplied by parents. This poor man and his family will never be the same again.

What on God’s earth are we doing as a society to say enough is enough?

I must push back at Roger Oberbeck Roger Oberbeck’s column, ‘The Right Stuff,” in the May 9 Daily Republic leaves out some key details.

Disinformation and lies have caused democracies to fail all over the world, and they keep dictators in power. For the past six years we have seen a deluge of this sort of thing coming from Donald Trump, Fox News, Q-anon and Trump supporters in general, including members of Congress. Fact checking and telling the truth are absolutely necessary if our democracy is going to continue.

Millions of people have been duped, and it all culminated Jan. 6, 2021, when the Big Lie resulted in the U.S. Capitol being attacked.

The “Disinformation Governance Board,” as part of the Department of Homeland Security, has been tasked with investigating the disinformation permeating our country, and is doing so as a matter of national security. lt is not a “Nazi Tactic,” as Mr. Oberbeck says. lt is just the opposite. Any allegations of disinformation will have to be investigated and fact-checked.

The First Amendment will not be under assault by this board.

Disinformation that can result in injury and death is not guaranteed by the First Amendment. Pushing back against lies is guaranteed by the First Amendment, and that is what this board will do. Those who push conspiracy theories, false allegations and outright lies are now afraid they are going to be called out and factchecked after a thorough investigation. Perhaps they will think twice and make sure they have they have their facts straight in the first place.

Sunset/Railroad field a danger to residents of Blossom Meadows The field at Sunset and Railroad now has a very large motor home in it along with a big black pickup truck, work truck and two automobiles. The homes that abut the field now have more tents and homeless people living there. This field has seen fires started by the homeless, mounds of trash and homeless partying in the middle of the night and waking up the residents.

Suisun City police maintain they can do nothing to remove the vehicles and the people. The city manager remains quiet.

Why do we continue to pay property taxes and fear more fires from this situation when there is no one at the helm and the city of Suisun City is rudderless in the ocean.

Victor Chavez Corona was the salutatorian.

“We exemplified the spirit of PSA,” he said. “We are small but mighty.”

Corona noted that nowhere else would have had the experiences that he shared with his classmates. In a larger school, he would have just been a face in the crowd but at PSA, his school became like his family.

“This is not an end but a beginning,” he said.

Valedictorian Simoun Raga spoke of the end of one journey and the beginning of another. Through the good and the bad times, they kept things going forward.

“Your support helped me more than you will ever know,” Raga said.

“Our bonds may fracture after high school but I will remember those moments.”

He admonished the outgoing class to do their best as they walk their own path.

Finally, Principal Katie Lee looked out on her first graduating class as principal of Public Safety Academy.

Lee addressed the graduates and attendees.

“Although it was not your typical experience in high school, you all made up for it this year,” Lee said.

They got the proms, the Senior Sunrise and all the other activities this year that make up the senior experience.

“You motivated each other, took risks and tried harder,” Lee said.

“This class helped this program to become what it is today.”

The class exemplified high moral character with a sweet sense of humor she will never forget.

“I watched you grow and I am impressed,” she said. “You are fully prepared as students and leaders to make a difference in the community and the world.”

Graduates celebrate during the Armijo High School graduation, at Brownlee Field, Friday.

Armijo From Page One may see some very old faces and some you just met,” Theodorus said.

It was a bit ironic enough that she would spin the phrase “very old faces” in describing a group of 17- and 18-yearolds, but especially when the theme of the class has emerged to be “We are Young.” A chorus of the song was sung together by some of the valedictorians.

The other valedictorians are Nicole Go, Faustina Wan and Flora Want. The salutatorian is Kaleb Ugalde.

Graduation was particularly sweet for Daniela Castillo, who arrived at Armijo from Venezuela unable to speak English.

Graduates celebrate during the Armijo High School graduation, at Brownlee Field, Friday.

“In three years, it went from not being able to communicate to becoming the (student body) president and the voice for thousands of (stu-

And, she gave a speech at her graduation.

Now the journey, one each of the graduates took on the same path to this

Wan described them as opportunities to “pursue your passions” and find “your treasurers.”

“There are a lot of what ifs,” Mrema told the students. “To those who doubted me, I ask this question. What would have happened if I never stood before you as valedictorian?”

Mrema then lifted up his cap and said, “I guess we will never know.”

Students marched into the stadium to “Pomp and Circumstance,” gamely played by the Rodriguez Entertainment Unit. The Rodriguez Vocal Ensemble offered a stirring rendition of the national anthem.

Salutatorians then led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Superintendent Kris Corey told the students to be like the “Mustang,” the Rodriguez school mascot, on “your life’s journey.”

Can California keep offering cheap health care? Here’s what state network’s new CEO says Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO — Jessica Altman took over in March as chief executive officer of Covered California, and even as she was settling into a new home in Sacramento she also was making the rounds with congressional leaders to drive home just how much Californians want access to health insurance.

The greatest barrier to getting it is all too often the cost, Altman said in her first interview with The Sacramento Bee, and nothing underscored that more than the record enrollment Covered California saw last year when new federal assistance in the American Rescue Plan slashed premiums for California enrollees by an average of 20%.

Enrollment in plans offered on California’s state-based marketplace surged to 1.8 million, according to Covered California records, an increase of more than 150,000 people.

Altman said she has to keep sharing the story that the financial help put in place under the American Rescue Plan is having an astounding effect for all Americans who rely on state and federal marketplaces to provide them with a lifeline when they or their family members are unexpectedly struck by illness and to get the preventative care that is so crucial to staying in good health. The federal subsidies were approved for only 2022 policies.

“Health care is core,” she said, “and being healthy is core to our ability to live happy and healthy lives and pursue the things that we want to pursue.

It is also, within our society, a great equalizer if it’s used effectively and equitably in supporting people across our nation and in California.”

In other words, Altman said, Covered California’s work is

not done when a consumer pays a premium.

“Our role as a marketplace does not end simply when people get covered,” she said.

“It goes to what happens next.

Is that health insurance providing the access that people need. Do they have the providers that they need? Are the providers providing high quality care that is actually delivering them better health outcomes?

So this next phase of responsibility (is) not just access to coverage but access to quality, equitable care.”

A native Californian, Altman was the insurance commissioner for the state of Pennsylvania before she took the top job at Covered California. Altman takes the reins from Peter V. Lee, the founding leader of the marketplace since 2012.

She offered a glimpse into her key priorities during a question-and-answer session with The Sacramento Bee. We asked what her top priorities were as she started her tenure.

Continuously improve the customer experience The top priority is always going to be consumer-centric?

How can Covered California, better serve customers that we have today, better reach the customers that we can have tomorrow, and better serve them in navigating our health care system, that can be all too complex.

One example: How can we better assist Californians as they transition between types of coverage – whether that’s from Medi-Cal to private insurers, from COBRA to a Covered California insurer, or between plans within Covered California or other types of transitions.

What are the outreach tools and the infrastructure that we

Enrollment in Covered California health care plans surged during the Covid-19 pandemic when federal assistance helped the state-run program lower costs. have to identify these people at the time when they need us and to help them through those processes?

Go deeper with diversity, equity and inclusion Equity is built into our mission. It is something Covered California has always done. Are the providers providing high quality care that is actually delivering better health outcomes for all enrollees?

This next phase of responsibility is not just about access to coverage but access to quality, equitable care.

There are many things that we are doing through the equity lens, for example, our outreach to community-based organizations, our efforts to be embedded in different communities across California to provide customer service, our push to be known and under-

stood across languages and across cultures, and our work to make sure that the providers that are in the network of the health plans that we contract with are diverse are culturally competent and are meeting the health care needs of all of our population.

‘Our job doesn’t stop with coverage’ Our job doesn’t stop with coverage. It goes to quality.

Over the next coming years, we will be monitoring our health plans’ performance for six key measures of quality. We will have our health plans putting financial accountability on the table (paying penalties) if they do not meet the goals of those quality measures.

We are talking about things like: How many children that they cover are getting immunizations? How many adults are

getting colorectal screenings that save lives at the appropriate age? How are they doing in monitoring blood sugar levels and hypertension among their population and improving it?

These are the things that we know are the drivers of morbidity and mortality.

We will, by the way, be collecting and reviewing those measures not just holistically but also stratified by demographic factors like race and ethnicity to really make sure we are understanding any disparities.

Our equity work and our quality work are both the same and much more than one another. So what I mean by that is, health care quality is equity.

Delivering on health care quality will help us deliver equitable outcomes.

What makes you want to do this work?

I come from a family who has worked in health care and is steeped in health care. My father’s father was a primary care physician who I remember well, doing house calls even into his 80s with his black leather doctor’s bag and his stethoscope. My mother’s father was an obstetrician-gynecologist who provided women’s health services in a very different era.

And both my parents have worked in health care and had long careers in health care.

The issues hit close to home for me both because of watching my family members and loved ones give their lives and commitment to improving the health care of others and also (because) I have seen too many people I love experiencing health challenges. I have always been driven to public service, I have never worked anywhere other than in public service.

DAILY REPUBLIC CORRESPONDENT

olano County impresario Jeff Trager has had a dream for a number of years to bring quality musical acts to Fairfield in a branded series. His dream will become a reality June 24 when the Fairfield Summer Music Series kicks off with free shows in both the downtown area and at two local parks.

Having put on shows all over Northern California since the late 1960s and more recently with his Vallejo-based partner Kevin Frazier as Frazier Trager Presents, Trager noticed long ago that numerous cities had

successful music series – like Concord and Suisun City and Vacaville – so why not have one the Solano County seat?

“The pandemic was a big factor in my thought process about this being the perfect time to launch the music series. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but everything in life is about timing. This was a no-brainer.

People now really want to be out, they want to be around other people and they want to have a good time. Nothing can beat music when it comes to bringing people together,” Trager said.

The series will feature free musical performances from 6 to 9 p.m. on designated Fridays throughout the summer on the Solano County Lawn (across

Texas Street from the Solano County Government building fountains) and at Dover Park and Ridgeview Park. Trager’s decades of skill at matching artists with audiences came into play when choosing the bands to perform.

The Spy Band, also known as the Band With The Golden Gun, will perform at the Nut Tree Plaza on Saturday as part of the venue’s summer concert series.

VACAVILLE — The Spy Band, also known as the Band With The Golden Gun, will perform Saturday at the Nut Tree Plaza as part of the venue’s summer concert series.

The nine-piece band, with leader Alan Parks of Napa, features music from spy, detective and secret agent movies and TV shows, including the theme songs from the James Bond films.

The band also features Ken Stout of Vacaville on

“The music is a nostalgia trip through classic TV and movie theme songs, played with style and

energy. The band tries to keep as true as possible to the sound of the originals, but often will extend a song, giving room for jazz and rock solos,” a statement released by the band states. “The original music was often cutting edge jazz (and) rock fusion and that spirit stays true in the live performances.”

And while it make be nostalgic, Parks assures those who come out the live gig is different.

Series From Page B1 dance band, will play at Ridgeview Park followed by gospel/R&B artist Rosalin Pugh back downtown. Alvon Johnson, one great blues entertainer, will close out the series., Trager said.

The lead-off batter BeaufunK was founded in 2007 by Pittsburgbased bassist/guitarist Timm Walker. He grew up loving funk pioneers like Earth, Wind & Fire, the Commodores and the Isley Brothers, among others, but had really only played with blues, R&B bands and Zydeco outfits for the most part. That is, until he opened for New Orleans-based funksters Dumpstaphunk and was blown away and inspired to create his own funk band.

BeaufunK’s current iteration has been together for about eight years, has two albums to their credit and has entertained audiences since their inception 15 years ago.

“We have a lot of originals, but when we play live, we understand that people want to hear that classic stuff so we play it but we also blend in four or five songs of our own music,” Walker said. “The covers we do are us paying tribute to James Brown and the Ohio Players and stuff like that. We are a dance band and every-

where we go the audience has a great time listening to uplifting dance music.

We play the funk hits you grew up listening to, or for the young folks, that your parents grew up listening to.”

While her turn to shine on the downtown stage won’t come until August, Rosalin Pugh is triply excited about the new Fairfield Summer Music Series as she is a performer, a Fairfield resident and a Fairfield business owner.

She is the founder and an instructor at B Sharp Academy (http://www. bsharpacademy.com) on Oliver Road, which helps individuals ages 5 and older to discover, hone and perfect their musical gifts.

“I always love performing, especially in Fairfield. I call my band Rosalin Pugh and The Crew and I’m thinking about perhaps doing some Michael Jackson, maybe some Whitney and maybe some Aretha Franklin along with some of my original numbers.

Oh, and I always have to have some gospel in there. Whenever I perform, I try to give the audience hope and inspire them,” Pugh said.

Pugh looks at the music series as a venue for Fairfielders to socialize, network and have fun. While she and her crew will rehearse for the show, which is still a couple of months away, if it was tonight she would be good to go.

“My dad, God rest his soul, always told me, ‘If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready,’ ” Pugh said.

Fairfield City Councilwoman Doriss Panduro, whose jurisdiction, District 5, includes Dover Park where Zebop! will play, is ecstatic about the summer music series.

“I think it’s great that we are able to have a concert series in Fairfield and not just in one part of town, but to be able to take it to different parts of the community that have not had an event like this before. I’m excited to be a part of bringing family friendly events to all parts of our city,” Panduro said.

“I advocated big time for us to move forward with Jeffrey’s vision, especially since it aligned with what the city is trying to do – more outreach and community engagement to promote Fairfield in a positive way.”

Trager got buy-in from many different segments of the community and points to Interim City Manager David Gassaway as the touchstone where the proverbial rubber met the road and the idea took flight.

“Everybody I talked to thought it was a great idea,” Trager said. “When I think it’s a good idea, when businesses downtown think it’s a good idea and when local politicians think it’s a good idea, I think we’re on to something.”

the Bond themes. The next year was spent writing band arrangements and putting together a group.

The band is no stranger to the region, having completed “successful missions” at the St. Helena Performing Arts Center, Lucky Penny Community Theater and the Napa Town and Country Fair, among other places.

“The musicians are all top-notch players from around Northern California, hand-picked to stage these seldom performed songs,” the statement said.

This is the third week of the summer series, which runs from 6 to 8 p.m. each Saturday through July 9. The plaza is located at 1661 E. Monte Vista Ave.

B4 Sunday, June 12, 2022 — DAILY REPUBLIC

Is Pope Francis nearing the end of his pontificate?

The Washington Post VATICAN CITY — The pain became obvious five months ago, when Pope Francis first started avoiding standing up.

“An inflamed ligament in the knee,” the pope said, noting the condition is common among the elderly. He described it as a problem that would soon pass. But by late April, he said, his right knee was “still not healing.” Soon after he was using a wheelchair.

“I would like to apologize,” he said, telling pilgrims one morning that he couldn’t greet them as usual on foot.

Francis is still hoping that rest can restore his mobility. But in the meantime, his day-to-day life has changed along with the very image of his pontificate: At age 85, his frailty is impossible to miss.

That has brought to the foreground questions about Francis’s future – whether his pontificate is nearing its endpoint, and whether he might consider stepping down.

Those inside and familiar with the Catholic Church talk about the topic with more seriousness than they did even a year ago, after Francis underwent colon surgery aimed at addressing a painful bowel condition.

And while the pope’s dependence on a wheelchair is a fundamental factor in the speculation, it has been amplified by his decision to call a consistory for Aug. 27 and install 21 new cardinals,

including 16 younger than 80 who would be eligible to vote in a conclave. That huge influx means that Francis will have selected more than 60% of the figures who will pick his replacement, increasing the odds of - though hardly guaranteeing - a like-minded successor.

To some Vatican watchers, it’s a sign that Francis feels urgency about preparing the church for his departure.

“What is clear is that his pontificate has entered the declining final phase” where resignation becomes more feasible, said Massimo Faggioli, a Villanova University professor of theology. “He is aware that he is approaching the end of his pontificate.”

Provided Francis is still on the job by late October, he’ll become the oldest sitting pope since Leo XIII, who died in 1903 at age 93.

Francis, for his part, has said that whenever a pope is ailing, talk of a conclave always follows like a “breeze or hurricane.”

But whether the endpoint comes in a matter of months or a couple years is anybody’s guess, and this pontificate has been typified by its surprises.

In recent days, some Italian and international news reports have suggested that the pope’s abdication could be at hand – a theory based less on hard evidence than on eyebrow-raising over a series of unusual events slated for late August, starting with the consistory. Popes don’t

normally call for consistories at the end of summer, when Rome is still in vacation shutdown mode. And the pope has scheduled a trip to the central Italian city of L’Aquila, where he’ll visit a basilica that hosts the tomb of Celestine V, one of the few popes to resign.

But for many in the Vatican, that tealeaf reading goes too far: They don’t see signs that Francis is ready to step down.

“His [health] situation isn’t brilliant,” said one senior Vatican official, requesting anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue. “But it’s not enough to impose a resignation.”

Unlike when John Paul II began using a wheelchair because of Parkinson’s disease, Francis still has his faculties.

And Francis’s stamina remains considerable. Knee pain has caused him to skip only a few events, and he is going ahead with major trips in July to central Africa – the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan – and Canada.

Francis is also planning a trip to Kazakhstan in September.

The biggest obstacle to the pope’s abdication, though, has nothing to do with his schedule. The conventional thinking in the Vatican is that Francis would be reluctant to step down while Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI is still alive. Benedict, 95, has now been an ex-pope for a longer period than he served as pope, and his presence – and occasional interjections about happenings in the church – have

complicated Francis’s pontificate. Having two ex-popes at once would figure to be even trickier.

Before Benedict’s historic resignation in 2013, stepping down hadn’t even figured as an option for modern popes, who served until death. Francis has made it clear that Benedict’s decision “should not be considered an exception.” But Benedict’s move, which came without any forewarnings, also created an environment in which future popes will face more scrutiny about whether and how they’ll leave the job.

“I think this sort of chatter is inevitable,” said Austen Ivereigh, a Francis biographer. “Benedict opened the door to every future pope discerning whether, when the time comes, it’s right to stand down.”

Ivereigh met with Francis recently and did not come away with the sense that a resignation is imminent. Ivereigh said Francis had a difficult experience with anesthesia related to his colon operation and so is adamant about avoiding surgery on his knee. He is receiving physiotherapy.

“He was suffering from pain, and he was tired,” Ivereigh said of the pope during their meeting. “I just asked him how he was. He said things have improved, actually. He’s using a cane at least some of the time.”

she is loved and things will get better. My husband of 20 years left me for someone who looked so much like me that I was stopped on a daily basis asking if I was her sister. We had five kids that I was raising pretty much by myself, and he cleaned our accounts out, and I was left with all the bills and absolutely no direction. I talked with my pastor, and he helped me understand it was not me at all.

This woman has given everything of herself for so long that she is completely broken now, but she WILL find something better. It’s just soooo hard to see it now.

I found it helped me to help someone else whenever I could.

FOR YOUR HEALTH

by Holiday Mathis

Today’s birthday If there were such a thing as youth in a bottle, the main ingredient would be astonishment. You’re now older, but your wonder is making you younger and younger. You’ll also cultivate irresistible qualities without realizing it this year.

More highlights: a legacy investment, a big reunion and domestic upgrades at a bargain. Scorpio and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 2, 22, 19 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your bright mind applied to the mundane brings fate’s felicitous turn. An enjoyable life that runs well is the ultimate invention, and there’s no one more qualified to innovate in your life than you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Everyone is different in one way or another.

Do you know how you are different?

Become keenly aware of it so you can highlight this feature and stand out in a good way when it’s your turn.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It seems to be taking forever for you to meet your aim. Something needs to change – either the goal or the plan.

The perspective of an outsider will be crucial in this situation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who put the time in have an advantage over gifted people who don’t practice.

You’ll work all sides of the equation, organizing your life to make daily efforts to hone your talent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Goals that are extremely specific are the most likely to come to fruition. Furthermore, keep asking yourself, what’s in it for the other person? Guided by an ideology of contribution, you can’t go wrong.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some will disavow traditional methods just because they are old. However, the old ways were not all bad. Think before you start over; maybe you can improve everything with just a little tweak.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The consequences of truth will be weighed against the consequences of lies.

People will tend to tell as much truth as they think they can tell without getting in trouble, and the same will go for the telling of lies.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may feel compelled to copy someone who is doing a thing very well – the fastest way to learn. You’ll make it your own after you learn the basic shape of the moves.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

The secret you know is a glint in your eye, the intrigue in your smile, the melody of your heart. This one is worth keeping, as the moment it leaves your lips it will also lose all its attractive power.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Searching for answers will be an adventure. Though you may not find what you were initially going for, many other treasures will be uncovered, including friendship.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Though you have no idea what your next marvelous idea will be, trust that it will come to you, easily and in the perfect timing. Believe it. You must, otherwise it will be impossible to pry your mind from the old idea.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re unpredictable, even to yourself. Take this as a sign that you’re responding to the moment, unbound by ideology, a freethinker to whatever extent that is actually possible.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Among the most impactful personal diaries written in this world, “The Diary of Anne Frank” chronicles the days of a young girl who lost her life in World War II. Frank believed to the end in the inherent goodness of people, even as evil and prejudice was all around her. A Gemini with Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini as well, even death couldn’t keep Frank from communicating her story.

If you happen to find a tick on yourself or someone else, prompt tick removal can prevent disease transmission.

Preventing tick bites, Lyme disease a summertime chore K eira Dagy

S

ummertime in California is here, and with it brings sunshine, hiking, beach days and more chances for outdoor activities.

There is no better place than to spend the summer in California with some of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in the country. However, it is important to be aware of and prepared for some of the potential hazards that coincide with the summer season.

Many beaches, mountains and wooded areas in Northern California are home to ticks, a small parasitic bug that bites animals and people and can spread diseases. Ticks have been found in 56 out of the 58 counties in California, including Solano County. Ticks are commonly found in coastal and beach areas, and on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range. They prefer cool, moist areas and can be found on wild grasses and low vegetation. If you happen to come in contact with a tick, they can bite and burrow into your skin and can remain unnoticed for hours because of their small size.

Tick bites typically cause mild symptoms such as skin irritation, rash, fever, tiredness and headache. However, about 2% to 15% of ticks found in Northern California carry a bacterium that

causes Lyme disease in humans. Lyme disease is an infectious disease that people can be exposed to through tick bites. It was first discovered and diagnosed in the 1970s in the Northeastern United States. Since then, Lyme disease has been reported in many areas of the country, including California.

Lyme disease can affect many body systems. Symptoms typically start like a mild flu-like illness and, over time, can develop into severe chronic health problems. The early stages of the disease can include a red, expanding skin rash, fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, muscle and joint pain, weakness and heart irregularities. If left untreated, arthritis or impacts on the nervous system can develop in some people. Arthritis is most likely to appear as bouts of pain and swelling, usually in one or more large joints. Nervous system abnormalities can include numbness, tingling or pain in the arms and legs, or difficulties in memory and the ability to concentrate. Lyme disease can be successfully treated with antibiotics, especially in the early stages.

California’s Department of Public Health reported a total of 1,740 cases of Lyme disease from 2000-2018.

However, the true number of cases of Lyme disease in California is estimated to be closer to 17,400 during that time-

frame. In Solano County, there were 12 reported cases of Lyme disease, with the true number of infections estimated to be at about 120 cases in the eightyear timeframe. While Lyme disease is relatively uncommon, its impact can be severe if left untreated, so it is essential to be aware of the symptoms, as well as how to prevent tick bites altogether.

Some preventive measures against tick bites include staying in the middle of hiking trails (i.e., avoiding grassy areas off-trail, tree trunks and fallen branches), using repellent against ticks, thoroughly checking yourself for ticks up to three days after activities in tickinfested areas, and showering soon after returning from areas with ticks. If you do happen to find a tick on yourself or someone else, prompt tick removal can prevent disease transmission. Using tweezers, gently pull the tick straight out, wash and apply antiseptic to the bite site, and see your provider if you develop any symptoms, especially a rash, within 30 days of the tick bite.

Overall, it is important to be cautious and take preventive steps against tick bites this summer while enjoying outdoor activities.

Armijo grad comes alive running at Deadwood Marathon Matt Miller

MMILLER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Cameron Remington ran cross country as a student-athlete at Armijo High School but never was that fast at short distances.

It turns out he has a nice, steady pace that was built for the long run. Marathon runs.

Remington, 24, won the Deadwood Mickelson Trail Marathon last Sunday in South Dakota. It was only his third career marathon and the first where he crossed the finish line ahead of all the competition.

“I was expecting to do pretty

well since I had run a marathon in Colorado a month ago,” Remington said, “but I wasn’t expecting to win. But at mile 23 (of the 26.2-mile race) I took the lead. I got passed with a few miles to go, but I thought they were going too fast, and I was able to pass them up in the last 3 miles.”

The 2015 Armijo graduate finished the course in 2:50.23 minutes, winning the race by just under 3 minutes over Theron Singleton of Rapid City, South Dakota. There were 192 runners – 113 men and 79 women– with the average course time at 4:44.39.

The Deadwood Mickelson Trail Marathon is a point-to-point course, beginning in Rochford, South Dakota, with the first 1.5 miles on the road. At that point, the course becomes the Mickelson Trail, an old mining path. The next 12 miles are a mixture of gentle uphill and flat terrain, featuring tunnels and bridges on a course that runs parallel to a creek.

From there to mile 19 is downhill, with one stretch of steep downhill that Remington said “comes at the right time of the race when you are feeling tired and it gives you a second wind.”

From that point to the end, the course is either downhill or flat and finishes at the historic Engine House at the end of the line, the Deadwood Trailhead.

“It rained for about 10 minutes, so it did get a little muddy at one point,” Remington said. “It really is a beautiful trail.”

Remington had run the course last year and completed it in 3 hours, 30 minutes. The marathon in Colorado was the second of his career and he finished fifth overall in that one.

Those two events set the stage for his return to Deadwood.

“I think it was a year of

training and knowing what to expect,” he said of winning this time. “I turned off the data on my watch and just tried to go by feeling and trust my training. I wanted to get out fast and just keep going. I like to train there, so I’m used to running that trail by myself.”

Remington just completed a two-year stint as a high school math teacher on the Pineridge Reservation teaching Oglala Lakota youth. Now he is back home in California planning his next adventure.

And marathon.

Giants enjoy masterclass from bullpen in tough win

TOYOTA/SAVE MART 350

Tribune Content Agency

Pat Brandon/For the Daily Republic

Kyle Larson (5) turned in the fastest time in qualifying Saturday to grab pole position for Sunday’s NASCAR

Toyota/SaveMart 350 Cup Series race at the Sonoma Raceway. Larson, of Elk Grove, is the defending champion.

Larson earns fifth straight start from pole in Sonoma Sonoma Raceway SONOMA — For the fifth consecutive year, Kyle Larson will start the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway from the pole.

Larson, the defending Cup Series champ and also the defending winner of this event, powered his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy around the challenging 10-turn, 1.99-mile road course in scenic wine country with a fast speed of 92.111 mph. It’s the California native’s 12th career pole position in the NASCAR Cup Series.

“Really neat to get another pole here, that’s five consecutive I heard,” Larson said. “It was a good lap. I was a bit surprised that I ran that lap because I feel like I gave up a lot of time in turns four and seven. If I had those two corners back, I feel like I could have gone quite a bit faster. We just have a really good No. 5 HendrickCars. com Chevy. Thank you to everyone on our team and everybody back at

the shop and the engine shop. I’m excited about it.

"For Chase (Elliott) to put down the lap that he did, I feel like that shows how strong he is because he was really good in race trim, too. I have to figure some things out on my end. I think my car is capable of racing good, I just have to get a little bit better on the long runs.

Hopefully we’ll have a good shot at the win.”

Larson will start the 110-lap race (1 p.m., FS1) alongside No. 2 qualifier Chase Elliott, who clocked a 92.083 mph in his No. 9 Chevy.

It’s a familiar starting position for Larson, who in addition to his four straight earned poles, he also started from the No. 1 spot last year based on the previous race’s finish as qualifying and practice were not held during the event.

Larson says there’s really no comparison from last year to this year with the Next Gen car making its Sonoma debut this weekend.

“My car felt really good last

year and was good compared to the field,” Larson said. “The cars are more equal this year. They seem to be more of a handful here this year versus last year. The cars don’t really drive that similar here.”

Larson, a native of Elk Grove, considers this event his home race and is expecting a big show of support tomorrow from his evergrowing legion of fans.

“I always feel the support when I come home and now that I’ve had success it’s exploded,” Larson said. “There’s supposed to be a Kyle Larson Grandstand here for the race tomorrow so hopefully we will see a lot of blue shirts up there tomorrow.”

Chris Buescher, who missed last weekend’s race in St. Louis due to testing positive for Covid-19, qualified third and was followed by Michael McDowell in fourth and Tyler Reddick in fifth.

Larson also was fastest in the Cup Series’ 50-minute practice session prior to qualityifing.

Warriors have the edge in clutch department heading into Game 5 Dieter Kurtenback BAY AREA NEWS GROUP

BOSTON — Steph Curry was brilliant, spectacular, and transcendent throughout Game 4 of the NBA Finals, but particularly so in the fourth quarter.

He’s the main reason that the Warriors are heading back to San Francisco tied 2-2.

But don’t forget that it takes two to tango, and Boston’s concurrent lackluster performance raises serious questions about their readiness to re-take the lead in these Finals.

In a series that has provided so many twists and turns I’m getting motion sick, Game 4’s swing might tilt the series back into the Warriors’ favor irrevocably.

After all, they know what to do when it’s all on the line.

COMMENTARY And the Celtics – for all their incredible qualities – don’t.

With this now being a three-game series, there’s now no place for Boston to hide.

The Celtics had one hand on the Larry O’Brien Trophy Friday. The Warriors only had one guy doing much of anything good. An insurmountable 3-1 Finals lead (sorry, the 2016 Cavs these Warriors are not) looked well in the cards for Boston as the Warriors were swapping Jordan Poole and Draymond Green for offensive and defensive purposes late in the contest.

Yes, there was no question who the better team was on Friday night, or in this series.

But Boston couldn’t close.

SAN FRANCISCO — It doesn’t make sense, but it doesn’t have to.

It’s baseball.

More than $100 million separated the starting lineups for Saturday’s nationally televised meeting at Oracle Park.

One team had a two-time All-Star as its designated hitter; the other a recently acquired backup catcher.

On the mound: a rookie starter logging the front end of a bullpen game versus a future first-ballot Hall-of-Famer.

Just like last season, when David prevailed over Goliath 10 of 19 times and won the division, the Giants’ patchwork squad did enough for a second straight day to defeat the Dodgers’ behemoth of megastars.

The 3-2 win evened the teams’ season series at two games apiece and secured a series win for the Giants in the teams’ first meeting this season in San Francisco.

In a stellar game from San Francisco’s bullpen, Giants relievers twice escaped the jaws of death. With strikeouts of Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts and a double-play ground ball from Trea Turner, Jarlín García and Camilo Doval escaped bases-loaded

jams in the seventh and eighth innings to preserve the Giants’ slim lead.

After the Dodgers swept a two-game series in Los Angeles last month, many fans cried out about the disparity in depth, talent level and investment between the two NL West rivals.

With backup catcher Austin Wynn acting as the Giants’ last right-handed resort at designated hitter and rookie Heliot Ramos slotted in third in his fourth major-league start – against Clayton Kershaw, no less – the disparity in payroll on the field Saturday was more stark than usual.

It’s up for debate whether García or Doval took down the most important outs of the game.

García entered with no outs in the seventh, after the Dodgers had loaded the bases, with Freeman and Turner due up. García went to full count against Freeman, then put a 94 mph fastball past him for the crucial strike three. Turner, one of the fastest players in the majors, grounded into a double play to end the inning. Not to be overlooked was Crawford’s effort on the play before García entered, ranging to his right to keep Betts’ single contained .

Karl Mondon/Bay Area News Group/TNS

The Celtics’ Jayson Tatum (0) passes away from the Warriors’ Stephen Curry (30) and Andrew Wiggins (22) defensive pressure in the fourth quarter Friday night.

It’s a trend that has haunted them throughout this postseason. In 12 playoff games, they have an abysmal offensive rating of 89 in “clutch” situations, which is within five points with less than five minutes to play.

That’s far and away the worst mark of any team that advanced out of the

first round.

Yes, they’re in the Finals now, but when the clock strikes “winning time” Boston clenches.

For all the Warriors’ struggles in the fourth quarter in this series, they do actually know what to do in a truly tight game that’s going down to the wire.

A’s snap losing Scoreboard BASKETBALL BASEBALL skid as Brown HOCKEY hits grand slam NHL Playoffs NBA Playoffs

Sunday, June 19 Boston at GOLDEN STATE, 5 p.m.

Tribune Content Agency CLEVELAND — Seth Brown hit a seventh-inning grand slam Saturday to help assuage two weeks of misery, igniting a late offensive explosion in a 10-5 road win against the Cleveland Guardians.

The win snapped a 10-game losing streak, improving the A’s record to 21-40. It was their first win since May 29 in Oakland against Texas.

Frankie Montas (3-6) was credited with his first win since April 18 although he’s had better games. Montas gave up five earned runs in six innings while dropping Cleveland to 28-27.

The Athletics’ bullpen made the lead stand up with three scoreless

innings, with Domingo Acevedo pitching the seventh, A.J. Puk the eighth and Dany Jimenez the ninth.

The game-deciding home run was Brown’s seventh of the season, and the A’s weren’t done as Stephen Vogt hit his second home run in the eighth and Christian Bethancourt and Sean Murphy homered in the ninth. It was Bethancourt’s third home run and Murphy’s seventh.

Brown’s therapeutic blast came against losing pitcher Eli Morgan (2-2).

The A’s had already scored once in the inning, courtesy of a throwing error by first baseman Josh Naylor attempting to get the lead runner at second base.

3-year-old colt picked up his fourth win in a seven-race career, this time in the Belmont Stakes with jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. Pletcher also picked up second with Nest.

The race started as expected with We the People going to the front with pressure from Skippylongstocking on the outside. Nest, who stumbled at the gate, was in striking distance while Rich Strike was stuck at the back of the eight-horse field.

16. Defendants HARRY JAMES COLLINS and DOES 1 through 30 were negligent in the operation of the subject vehicle being operated by Defendant HARRY JAMES COLLINS. That negligence was a substantial factor in causing the subject incident and the injuries and damages to Mr. Kimball and CITY OF FAIRFIELD. 17. Defendants HARRY JAMES COLLINS and DOES 1 through 30, were negligent in the engineering, design, manufacturing, fabrication, maintenance, repair, upkeep, or were negligent in some other fashion so as to cause or contribute to the subject incident, as well as the injuries and damages to Mr. Kimball and CITY OF FAIRFIELD. 18. As a result of the May 24, 2019 motor vehicle collision and the negligence of Defendants HARRY JAMES COLLINS and DOES 1 through 30, injured worker Dustin Kimball filed a workers’ compensation claim and Plaintiff CITY OF FAIRFIELD, became obligated pursuant to California Law and Statute to provide workers’ compensation benefits to Mr. Kimball and have provided such benefits.
