Children get early shopping spree thanks to donations Susan Hiland

SHILAND@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The school year will start in just a few weeks, and parents are getting ready with school shopping. Once again this year, some lucky children got an early shopping spree thanks to The Salvation Army Kroc Center’s backpack giveaway. About 100 children arrived early Saturday at the Solano Town Center mall for a full breakfast at Applebee’s and a $100 shopping spree at Old Navy. Luis Santos Jimanez, 9, of Fairfield, said he is looking forward to the new school year and playing soccer. “I got some T-shirts, sweaters and socks,” he said. Luis was excited for the new clothing and a new backpack. Bella Thompson, 10, of Suisun City, said she was looking for some jeans for the new school year. She found a pretty flower shirt, too. Her volunteer, Kimberly Gates, has been donating her time for this event since 2013. “It is a very rewarding morning,” Gates said. “I look forward to this every year. I think it blesses me more than the recipients.” Old Navy also provided a goodie bag for the children, along with keeping their children’s clothing prices the same as pre-Covid, according to General Manager Kevin Christian.

Fairfield foundation helps families with school supplies, grocery needs Susan Hiland

FAIRFIELD — Everything is more expensive this year, including school supplies, said Sonna Silva, who is a mother of four. She took her children to the Fairfield Community Services Foundation’s free Back-to-School Backpack and Food Giveaway on Saturday. The children – Paula, Lucy, Ismeale and Elizabeth – all received backpacks again this year. The family was also given two bags of food. “This is a great support and a blessing,” Silva said.

Susan Hiland/Daily Republic

Fairfield Community Services Foundation’s free Backto-School Backpack and Food Giveaway had 1,200 backpacks to give away to drivers along with 900 bags of groceries at Bethel Community Church in Fairfield. Things have been hard for Silva. She cleans houses but has found that many people can’t afford

her services anymore because they lost a job or got sick. “They don’t work, so I

don’t work,” she said. Since the cost of food went up with inflation, she is looking at a food bill higher than at any other time in her life. “It is easily $100 for just basic vegetables,” she said. Daughter Elizabeth Esparza said she was excited to get a new backpack. “They have really good supplies,” she said. “It really helped for school last year.” They were just five people out of hundreds who came out for the See Needs, Page A11

baseball announcers (I’d definitely include Al Michaels – the Giants play-by-play announcer while I was in junior high – and Bob Uecker, who has been broadcasting Milwaukee Brewers games for 51 years), but Scully’s combination of storytelling, warmth and basic human decency is hard to surpass. And I arguably saved his life one summer night in the late 1980s. I was a young sports writer, covering a Giants-Dodgers game at Candlestick Park. Twice a week in those days, I would drive from Fairfield to San Francisco or Oakland to cover games. One night, about 90 minutes before the game, I was returning to the press box from eating in the press cafeteria when I saw Scully walking the other way. He noticed my press pass and acknowledged that he was a little lost in the concrete jungle

of Candlestick. “Saaaaaaay,” he said in that drawn-out Scully voice, “Could you tell me where the dining room is?” What? I felt like I was listening to Scully describe Steve Garvey or Ron Cey hitting a homer to beat my childhood Giants. But I also felt like I was listening to him describe Joe Montana hitting Dwight Clark with that famous pass. Vin Scully was talking to me! Finally, I snapped out of my reverie. “It’s back there. Just around that corner,” I said, pointing. “Thanks,” he said. (Actually, it was more like, “Thaaaaaaaanks.”) And he was gone, presumably to eat. Over the years, I’ve considered what might have happened had I not given Scully that information. Perhaps he would have gotten lost and never found the cafeteria. He might have

fainted from weakness in a bleak corner of Candlestick Park (there were plenty) and never been found. It’s not unreasonable to consider that had I not pointed out how to get to the press cafeteria to Vin Scully, he would have died that night. We wouldn’t have heard his call of Gibson’s homer. Dodgers fans would have lost 25-plus years of Scully calling games on radio and TV. America lost a treasure Tuesday, but had I not heroically intervened when a stranger asked me how to get to a cafeteria, America could have lost that treasure 30-plus years ago. I’m glad I could help, to which American should say, “Thaaaaaaanks.” Reach Brad Stanhope at bradstanhope@outlook.com.

Fossils of 30-foot prehistoric marine lizard unearthed out what these creatures were eating and how they interacted with their environment can help paleontologists refine their picture of what life used to be like millions of years ago. “You get this nice history of why things are the way they are here, by building that history back to your time,” said Dori Contreras, a curator of paleobotany at the Perot Museum.

Tribune Content Agency DALLAS — One sweltering afternoon this spring, Stephen Kruse trekked along a dry creek bed with a backpack full of fossils. An amateur enthusiast, Kruse has been interested in dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures since he hunted for rocks with his brother as a kid. That afternoon, he was hiking by himself near the North Sulphur River, about 80 miles northeast of Dallas. It’s an area he’d combed several times. He was getting tired. As the day got longer, Kruse searched for a way back to his white Chevy Suburban. He decided to look for a shortcut a quarter mile farther out. “Best decision I ever made,” he said. Just 100 yards down the rocky stream bed, he saw it: a 5- to 6-inch black vertebra, a piece of a prehistoric creature’s spine. Kruse had found fossilized bones belonging to a mosasaur, a 30-foot marine lizard that ruled the seas around 80 million years ago. Recently, paleontologists from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science dug the fossils out of the creek bed’s soft, claylike rock. They excavated parts of the mosasaur’s skull, lower jawbones and several vertebrae from its spine. This is important work for the scientists: Even though mosasaurs aren’t around today, learning more about the past can give us a window into the present. Finding

A fossil-rich river In the 1920s, farmers had a problem with the North Sulphur River. The river’s bends and curves were causing farmlands to flood when it rained. So, the river was channelized, or straightened out, to help the water drain more quickly. Channelizing the North Sulphur River did more than drain the swamp. It affected how water eroded the edges of the river bank. To this day, rainwater quickly breaks down the soft rock, revealing pieces of the past. “It’s perfect for fossil hunters, because when it rains, this thing will flood, rip all this stuff out,” Kruse said. “And because it’s cut at a grade, the very next day, the water’s gone, and you can just come out here and hike.” Kruse said he finds fossils often in the creeks near the river valley. Many have been from mosasaurs. That’s not surprising to Ron Tykoski, the Perot Museum’s director of paleontology and curator of

vertebrate paleontology. He says 80 million years ago, pretty much all of central Texas was underwater. The shallow, warm seawater and abundance of food in the area created the perfect habitat for creatures like mosasaurs.

Great white sharks of prehistoric times Tykoski said mosasaurs were like the great white sharks or killer whales of prehistoric times. As top marine predators, they ate turtles, sharks and even each other. “Imagine a 30-foot swimming pointy-nosed Komodo dragon with flippers and a forked tail,” he said. The mosasaur fossils Kruse found were jutting out of the rocky creek bed. Once Kruse realized the bones could be more than a couple of vertebrae, he ran uphill and called Mike Polcyn, whom Kruse knew was a paleontologist and mosasaur expert at Southern Methodist University. Polcyn helped Kruse contact Tykoski at the Perot Museum. Tykoski and his team got permission from the Upper Trinity Regional Water to retrieve District the fossils. Tykoski checked out the area in June to get an idea of how many fossils were there and how easy they’d be to remove. He realized the soft rock would be fairly easy to peel away with picks and shovels, revealing the fossils beneath.

Since the primary CALLISON I’ve raised $1,200.” She does plan to rev up her campaign. Callison hired a communication director, is seeking more volunteer staff and plans to make more public appearances between now and Election Day, Nov. 8. Callison would have gotten in the race sooner but redistricting was the issue. The Winters native was outside the new map alignment before she moved to Vacaville. Now she is ready to campaign hard for an Assembly post she feels quite qualified for. “Normally, those who run for office start with the school board or city council,” Callison said. “But I think the best use of my time and experience is to work in the Assem-

I’ve worked with the Legislature and can come from a different angle than that which candidates normally look at.” Callison since 2011 has gone from secretary to consultant with the California State Assembly Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. She has seen the inside of Sacramento politics, analyzed legislation, written bills and worked to make legislation happen with Assembly members for the benefits of veterans. Callison joined the U.S. Army in 2002 and served four years as a 14th Patriot Missile Launching Station operator/maintainer. She served from Fort Bliss, Texas, to Suwon Air Base in the Republic of Korea. The GI Bill helped fund her education. Callison earned an associate degree in 2009 in English See Forum, Page A5

VALLEJO — The 17-year-old driver of a red Chevrolet pickup and a 16-year-old female passenger were involved in a solo crash early Friday in Vallejo that resulted in the death of the driver. California Highway Patrol officers from the Solano area observed the truck traveling at a high rate of speed at 12:37 a.m., the agency reports.

Assembly OKs bill to lessen hunger among college students Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The California Assembly this week approved legislation from Sen. Bill Dodd that would provide food aid to low-income college students. “It’s no secret that going to college is expensive, but students shouldn’t have to starve to get a college education,” DODD Dodd, D-Napa, said in a press release. “Many students today are struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table. My bill addresses chronic hunger, helping more Californians achieve their educational and career goals.” Nearly one in three California college students face food and housing insecurity, according to a survey by the California Student Aid Commission. Students of color are more likely than others to report needs in both areas, the survey showed. Senate Bill 20 would require the Student Aid Commission to proactively notify students of

their eligibility for Cal Fresh benefits. Many low-income students are not aware they may qualify for food assistance through Cal Fresh. About 100,000 students would benefit from the proposal, according to Dodd. The legislation is a follow-up to Senate Bill 173, written in 2019 by Dodd, which addressed streamlining the Cal Fresh application process for college students enrolled in workstudy. That bill was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Supporters of SB 20 include the Coalition of California Welfare Rights Organizations and the University of California Student Association. The bill heads next to the Senate for concurrence before going to Newsom for a signature by Sept. 30. Dodd represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes all of Solano County and all or portions of Napa, Yolo, Sonoma, Sacramento and Contra Costa counties.

Dangerous winds could hamper fight against massive, lethal McKinney Fire Tribune Content Agency Strong winds expected to sweep through the Shasta Valley could hinder the progress made in recent days by thousands of firefighters in containing the massive and deadly McKinney wildfire burning at the CaliforniaOregon border. Since it began in the Klamath National Forest late last month, the blaze has killed four people, destroyed 87 homes and consumed 60,044 acres, but its spread has slowed over the past few days, with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reporting 30% containment. It is the largest wildfire in the state so far this year. Forecasts of wind gusts of up to 30 mph pose significant new risks and prompted the National Weather Service in Medford, Oregon, to prepare to issue a red flag warning for Yreka and other parts of the valley along Interstate 5 starting Sunday afternoon. “When you put a lot of wind on a fire, a lot of bad things can happen,” said Ryan Sandler, one of the meteorologists monitoring the situation.

Abortion law in Indiana leads to fallout for state The Washington Post Indiana’s new sweeping ban on abortion produced immediate political and economic fallout Saturday, as some of the state’s biggest employers objected to the restrictions, Democratic leaders strategized ways to amend or repeal the law, and abortion rights activists made plans to arrange alternative locations for women seeking procedures. The Indiana law, which the Republican-controlled state legislature passed late Friday night and Gov. Eric Holcomb, R, signed moments later, was the first state ban passed since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in June and was celebrated as a major victory by abortion foes. It also came just three days after voters in traditionally conservative Kansas surprised the political world by taking a very different tack, rejecting a ballot measure that would have stripped abortion rights protections from that state’s constitution. The vote in Indiana capped weeks of fraught debate in Indianapolis, where activists demonstrated at the state Capitol and waged intense lobbying campaigns as Republican lawmakers debated how far

Winds From Page A5 behavior, Sandler said. The winds could reach up to 30 mph in the valley and up to 20 mph in the more mountainous area where the fire is burning.

the law should go in restricting abortion. Some abortion foes hailed the law’s passage as a road map for conservatives in other states pushing similar bans in the aftermath of the high court’s decision on Roe, which had guaranteed for the past 50 years the right to abortion care. The Indiana ban, which goes into effect Sept. 15, allows abortion only in cases of rape, incest, lethal fetal abnormality, or when the procedure is necessary to prevent severe health risks or death. Indiana joins nine other states that have abortion bans starting at conception. The new law represents a victory for antiabortion forces, who have been working for decades to halt the procedure. But passage occurred after disagreements among some abortion foes, some of whom thought the bill did not go far enough in stopping the procedure. After the legislation was signed into law, Eli Lilly, the pharmaceutical giant and one of the state’s largest employers, warned that such laws would hurt its employee recruiting efforts and said the company would look elsewhere for its expansion plans. “We are concerned that this law will hinder Lilly’s – and Indiana’s – ability to attract “Because the atmosphere is so hot, dry and unstable, the fire can in effect create its own weather,” he said. Some areas of the blaze saw up to 3 inches of rain last week, but the intense heat quickly dried the ground and vegetation, and no thunderstorms are expected in the next week.

diverse scientific engineering and business talent from around the world,” the company said in a statement issued Saturday. “Given this new law, we will be forced to plan for more employment growth outside our home state.” Salesforce, the tech giant with 2,300 employees in Indiana, had previously offered to relocate employees in states with abortion restrictions, though it didn’t respond on Saturday to a request for comment on the Indiana law. The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce also warned the ban was passed too quickly and without regard for how it will affect the state’s tourism industry. “Such an expedited legislative process – rushing to advance state policy on broad, complex issues – is, at best, detrimental to Hoosiers, and at worst, reckless,” the chamber said in a state-

ment, asking: “Will the Indy region continue to attract tourism and convention investments?” Indiana lost out on 12 conventions and an estimated $60 million of business after it passed a religious freedom law in 2015, according to one local tourism industry estimate. Indiana is the first state to ban abortion by legislature since the Supreme Court decision in June overturning Roe v. Wade. Other states enacted “trigger laws” that went into effect with the fall of Roe. Indiana may be just the beginning. Abortion rights advocates estimate that abortion could be severely restricted or banned in as many as half of the 50 states. An official at Indiana Right to Life, an Indiana antiabortion group, said the new law will end 95% of abortions in Indiana and will close all Indiana abortion clinics” Sept. 15,

the date the legislation takes effect, unless abortion activists go to court and get an injunction beforehand. Indiana has considered abortion restrictions for years, though it remained a state where many­in the region traveled for abortion care. Now, as many nearby states – including Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia – also push for abortion bans, patients may have to travel hundreds of miles in some cases for care, said Elizabeth Nash, a policy expert at the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. “Patients in Ohio won’t be able to go to Indiana for access. They’ll have to get to, perhaps, Illinois or Michigan,” she said. Passage of the Indiana measure occurred just weeks after national attention was focused on a 10-year-old girl who was raped in Ohio, where abortion is banned after six weeks, and traveled

to Indiana to terminate the pregnancy. Caitlin Bernard, the doctor who performed that abortion in Indianapolis, tweeted Saturday that she was “devastated” by the legislature’s action. “How many girls and women will be hurt before they realize this must be reversed? I will continue to fight for them with every fiber of my being,” she wrote. The Indiana measure drew swift condemnation from national Democrats, who sought to cast Republicans as extreme on abortion – citing the Kansas vote earlier this week, where even rural, conservative parts of the state rejected changing the state’s constitutional right to an abortion. The law is “another radical step by Republican legislators to take away women’s reproductive rights and freedom,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.

Summer movie surge propels Cinemark to best quarter since pandemic’s start Tribune Content Agency DALLAS – People have been flocking to the movie theaters this summer, some to relive the nostalgia of watching Tom Cruise fly in a fighter jet or others donning formal clothes to take part in a quirky trend that became known as the “Gentleminions.” Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Minions: The Rise of Gru” are just two of a handful of summer blockbusters giving the pandemic-decimated new life. Plano-based movie theater chain Cinemark’s quarterly results Friday validated that the bounceback is building. The company reported revenue of $744 million for the April through June period, marking its highest quarterly revenue since before the Covid pandemic began in early 2020. That’s a stunning turnaround from the pandemic low of $8.9 million during the same threemonth period in 2020. CEO and president Sean Gamble credited the strong revenue growth to “continued improvement in consumer sentiment” and a “more consistent release cadence of compelling new films.” “Cinemark fully delivered on this sustained recovery in the second quarter,” Gamble said in a statement. Yet the company that operates 521 theaters in the U.S., South America and Central America still posted a net loss of $73.4 million for the quarter, cutting its loss from a year ago by roughly half. Cinemark’s subscription service, Movie Club, has grown and hit the 1 million subscriber marker during

Tom Cruise as Capt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in “Top Gun: Maverick.” the recent quarter – 10% more than it had prior to Covid-19. The big question is if the industry can ride the summer momentum through the rest of 2022. There are some headwinds with concerns over a lack of upcoming new releases, but the company said customers feel comfortable returning to theaters. In a survey of moviegoers by the National Research Group, 88% responded that they were “very or somewhat comfortable” going back to the theaters and box office numbers across the industry are on the road

to recovery. “Elvis” and “Jurassic World Dominion” are among other films being credited for this year’s domestic box office surpassing the 2020 and 2021 amounts. July is the first month since December 2019 to gross over $1 billion at the domestic box office, according to the National Research Group, and it was the closest any month has come to meeting its prepandemic average box office sales, getting to 91% of the 2015-19 average. There’s still a way to go for box office sales to be back to where they were before 2020. From 2010-

19, box office sales topped $10 billion on an annual basis and over 800 movies were released each year dating back to 2012. Only 1,178 films have come out since 2020 and this year’s total box office sales are at $4.8 billion. At the midway point of this year, Cinemark’s revenue from tickets and concessions stands at $1.2 billion – a nearly 195% increase over the same six-month period last year. More than 85 million people watched movies in its theaters, paying an average ticket price of $7.26 and spending an additional $5.39 per patron on concessions.

Amazon to buy IRobot for $1.65B Bloomberg Amazon.com Inc. said it would buy IRobot Corp., maker of the Roomba vacuum, for $1.65 billion as the e-commerce giant continues its push into internet-connected home devices and robotics. Amazon will pay $61 a share in cash for the Bedford, Massachusetts-based company, according to a statement on Friday. The offer represents a premium of 22% based on iRobot’s last closing price before the announcement. Colin Angle will remain as chief executive officer of iRobot. “I’m excited to work with the iRobot team to invent in ways that make customers’ lives easier and more enjoyable,” said Dave Limp, senior vice president of Amazon Devices. Amazon has worked to place its Alexa voice software and Echo smart speakers at the center of its push into connected devices. Customers can already use Alexa to control Roomba vacuums. IRobot also runs some of its software on Amazon Web Services servers. Seattle-based Amazon has come a long way as a hardware player since a failed foray into smartphones a few years ago. It has held new product unveilings in each of the last several years, an effort to position itself at the center of the burgeoning market for smart-home gadgets. IRobot gives Amazon a household-name in home cleaning gadgets that may give it a leg up over its own designs. Last fall Amazon debuted a household robot named Astro that was supposed to usher in – or at least point to – a Jetsons-like future. Called the Astro, the three-wheeled device

would eventually sell for about $1,450. But Astro, still in a limited rollout, hasn’t made a splash with consumers. IRobot saw sales increase over the pandemic, as families who were housebound sought shortcuts to keep their homes clean. But like many pandemic-era darlings, iRobot has seen demand wane. It reported second-quarter revenue of $255.4 million on Friday, short of analysts’ expectations for $301 million. The company has also been battling JS Global Lifestyle Co. in a patent infringement case against its SharkNinja vacuums and hybrid vacuum-moppers. IRobot portrays itself as an American success story with a “passion for innovation” that’s been undercut by SharkNinja incorporating those inventions into its Chinese-made knockoffs. IRobot said its Roomba vacuum and Braava floor mops “can map the floor of a home, sense changes in the floor type being cleaned, spot clean, avoid objects and cliffs (such as stairs), and intelligently approach a base station to recharge, among other innovative features.” Amazon shares fell less than 1% in early trading on Friday. IRobot shares, which are down 24% this year, surged almost 20%. Amazon prefers to develop new technology internally, but its devices unit has been quick in recent years to pull the trigger on acquisitions that give the company a stake in a hot or adjacent market. Amazon grabbed a leading position in video doorbells with its 2018 deal to buy Ring, and acquired WiFi hub maker Eero the next year.

Employers added 528,000 jobs in July, hot labor market powers on The Washington Post The hot labor market strengthened more than expected last month, as employers added 528,000 jobs, a stunning figure that reflects an economy well recovered from the pandemic, quelling fears that a recession could be imminent. The unemployment rate edged down to 3.5%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reaching its lowest point since February 2020, tying for the lowest rate since 1969. However, that figure includes some workers who left the labor force, an ongoing pandemic trend. The job market has more than recovered its pandemic losses, building confidence that a red-hot labor market can persevere, even as other parts of the economy sour. The momentum has afforded workers historic wage gains and more leverage at their jobs. The July jobs report caps off a staggering 19 months worth of gains, notching a big political victory for President Biden and Democrats running for office this fall. Growing dissatisfaction about the economy has weighed on Biden’s popularity, especially from within the Democratic Party. However, job growth remains a bright spot, with the economy picking up, on average, more than half a million jobs each month of Biden’s presidency. “Today, we received

another outstanding jobs report,” Biden said Friday at a news briefing. “That’s the fastest job growth in history today. We also matched the lowest unemployment rate in America in the last 50 years, 3.5%. What we’re also seeing is something that just a few years ago many experts said was literally impossible.” Republicans have been quick to criticize Democrats about inflation, but few GOP lawmakers commented on the jobs numbers Friday. “Thanks in part to Republican governors removing the Biden work barrier that pays the jobless more to stay home than to work, the July jobs report finally met expectations,” Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Tex., said. “The labor force participation rate still hasn’t improved in 2021, which is a red flag for tepid growth ahead.” Huge job pickups were seen across a broad spectrum of categories, as leisure and hospitality led the way with 96,000 jobs added. Demand for consumer services has continued to be strong all summer, despite higher prices on groceries, gasoline and other basic needs. Also, professional and business services added 89,000 jobs, with gains in architectural and engineering services, technical consulting, and scientific research and development. Health care picked up 70,000 jobs, primarily in health-care

services and hospitals and nursing facilities. Jobs also grew in government, construction, manufacturing and mining. “This report is a fantastic sign for the labor market,” said Julia Pollak, labor economist at ZipRecruiter. “There’s plenty of indication that inflation is coming down. Gas prices are coming down. Inventory levels are rising. It looks like we can manage to get inflation under control without halting job market recovery. There’s reason to think the labor market can weather the storm.” Even the June jobs report was revised upward to 398,000, up from 372,000, showing the continued momentum for growth this summer. Economists and White House officials had predicted a slowdown in job growth last month due to economic indicators that raised alarms. Inflation hit 40-year highs and the economy shrank over the past six months on the year, typically a benchmark for recessions. The financial markets have also lost trillions of dollars in value this year, and one measure of consumer sentiment hit a record low in June. Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine has exacerbated the pandemic-era supply chain crisis and inflation around the world. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates this year to combat inflation, which has slowed some parts of the economy, particu-

larly housing, and can help slow job creation and wage growth. Dour job growth predictions for last month also drew on reports of widespread layoffs and hiring freezes in tech, which appear to have had little impact on overall job growth. Indeed, the surprisingly hot jobs report renewed some fears that the Federal Reserve will need to more aggressively raise interest rates to cool the economy down, prompting financial markets to fall in early trading Friday, although they were more mixed as the day continued. But the economy is showing signs that the labor market can remain robust and continue to recover even as the Fed raises interest rates to combat inflation. “It’s a strong report,” Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said. “If we look back to the day before Biden took office, 10 million people were out of work. All those jobs have been recovered. Some sectors more than that. The buzzword we have right now is ‘recession’ but we have to keep in focus that what we’re living through economically is very different than we’ve experienced in the past.” Wage growth, though stronger than the Fed would like to see, has not kept up with inflation. The lowest income households continue to struggle to put food on

the table and pay for gas and housing. Average hourly earnings increased by 0.5% this month, to $32.27 an hour, continuing an upward trend from earlier this year. “The most concerning thing in this report is that we didn’t see the expected moderation in wage growth,” said Karen Dynan, an economist at Harvard University and former chief economist at the Treasury Department. “To be clear, strong wage growth does benefit workers in the short run. But the current pace of wage growth is not consistent with low inflation over the longer run.” Declining workforce participation is another area of concern for economists. Last month, participation edged down to 62.1% from 62.2%, increasing concerns that some workers are still unable to join the workforce. “Some of the benefits of jobs creation aren’t being felt, because people aren’t able to get in to work,” said Nick Bunker, economic research director at Indeed’s Hiring Lab. “It could be a lack of child care and covid, people out sick from covid – and the long-term effects of covid.” Most workers in the private sector are seeing wage increases wiped out by inflation, and a record number of Americans have taken on two full-time jobs. Government employees, whose wages lag behind the rest

of the workforce, are suffering even more from inflated prices of gas, food and housing. The number of Americans quitting their jobs remains high, although lower than its peak earlier this year in a phenomenon known as the “Great Resignation.” The hot labor market has allowed workers to switch jobs and demand higher wages and better conditions, particularly in the leisure and hospitality sectors. While the trend is softening, the quits rate remains at a 20-year high. Elenna Geffrard, a case manager in developmental human services, recently gave her notice to her employer in New York because she found a better-paying job doing the same thing elsewhere with a lighter caseload. “I’m quitting because I’m wiped out, and they gave us more cases to take care of,” Geffrard said. “I have 40 cases to monitor. In my new job, I’m getting paid more and only have 20 cases.” It wasn’t easy to find a new job, Geffrard said. She applied to roughly 40 over the past year before she got her offer last week. Job openings slowed in June compared with previous months, with notable declines in the retail and wholesale trade, as consumer demand has shifted away from goods toward services such as dining out, going to the See Labor, Page A9

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Old issue plagues Newsom’s Delta tunnel project

District misuses funds for school facilities

F

our-plus decades ago, when a young governor named Jerry Brown was advocating a “peripheral canal” to carry Sacramento River water around the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, he argued it would not only improve water deliveries but would stop the degradation of the Delta’s water quality. The latter contention initially attracted some positive attention from environmental groups which were complaining that pulling water directly out of the Delta for shipment to San Joaquin Valley farms and Southern California’s homes had upset flows that were vital to healthy fish populations. Ultimately, however, environmentalists turned against Dan Walters the plan, fearing the canal would encourage state and federal water officials to dam more Northern California rivers to meet downstate demands for water. Brown won legislative approval of the 43-mile-long canal, but it was rejected by voters in a 1982 referendum. A quarter-century later, the project was revived as twin tunnels during Arnold Schwarzenegger’s governorship and once again it received a semi-supportive attitude from some major environmental groups with a major caveat. They might endorse the tunnels, but only if the state would impose “science-based flow requirements” – a guarantee fish and other wildlife would be protected by having enough water flowing into the Delta from the Sacramento and San Joaquin river systems to more than offset what the tunnels would take from the Sacramento. Such requirements would, in essence, require water agencies that take water from the two river systems before it reaches the Delta – particularly those in the San Joaquin Valley – to reduce their diversions. Brown once again became governor in 2011 and quickly began pushing for the twin tunnels, renamed “California Water Fix.” However, the project still faced environmental group resistance on the lingering issue of its Delta’s habitat impacts. Brown approached the problem with a twopronged strategy. His Water Resources Board, chaired by Felicia Marcus, began working on mandatory flow increases that, if adopted, would erode the historic water rights of agricultural irrigation districts, while Brown urged those districts to undertake so-called “voluntary agreements” that would reduce their diversions. However, there was no resolution before Brown left the governorship a second time in 2019 and handed the situation to successor Gavin Newsom. Almost immediately, Newsom abandoned the twin tunnels and opted for a single tunnel, now dubbed the “Delta Conveyance Project.” The “voluntary agreement” process continued, but without bearing enough fruit and, most importantly, Newsom replaced Marcus, whose tough attitude on water rights had angered farmers, with E. Joaquin Esquivel, who is seen by environmentalists as being much less aggressive on reordering priorities. That unhappiness is reflected in the recent resignation of the water board’s climate and conservation manager, Max Gomberg, with an online letter saying, “the agency’s ability to tackle big challenges nearly eviscerated by this administration has been gut wrenching. The way some of you have simply rolled over and accepted this has also been difficult to watch.” “This governor, this administration does not like having independent regulatory agencies. They want to sort of control everything,” Gomberg told the Los Angeles Times. “The direction comes from the top.” Gomberg added that the board has been “allowed a much narrower range of regulatory actions” and has been directed to pursue “nonregulatory approaches on just about everything.” The less aggressive approach on increasing Delta flows means that as Newsom tries to make his “Delta Conveyance” a reality, he’s likely to face very stiff opposition from environmental groups which contend the tunnel would worsen the already paltry runs of salmon and other fish. It’s doubtful the project can become reality without resolving the long-running conflict.

I read Ann Petero’s column about school facilities needs and completely agreed with her. I also read school board president Bethany Smith’s denial about use of Measure J funds. Smith stated “facts” about the need for updating of school facilities. I drive by schools in this city and I see the “improvements”: new parking lots, sports fields, new lawns. I am very upset about how the money is being spent. Two schools that epitomize the total waste of money are the Charles Sullivan Middle School and Fairfield High School. Sullivan has a fancy new parking lot and acres of grass and Fairfield High has new athletic fields, again acres of grass. I see nothing being done to upgrade the schools or replace portable buildings. What I see is a lack of thought, planning and waste of money. Didn’t the school district know that California is in a serious drought? We are being told to remove grass and replace it with drought-resistant plants. These new acres of grass at the schools are being watered, fertilized and maintained with district funds. Why did the school board think this was a responsible use of tax money for facility upgrades? Giving more money to the schools is a waste. Apparently, they honor a pretty lawn over education and student achievement. Kay W. Locatelli Fairfield

African-American cultural literacy experience a success Like many other recent programs, the African-American Cultural Literacy Experience sponsored by Solano County Library Foundation on June 25 had its genesis in earlier years yet was delayed repeatedly by a worldwide pandemic. Although postponed, it was well worth the wait. Inspired by Isabel Wilkerson’s book, “The Warmth of Other Suns,” event chairwoman Frances McCullough and her committee presented a program interspersed with reminiscence, art and culturally inspired food to illustrate the theme of migration of African Americans from the deep South to the North and West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The festive event was emceed by television celebrity Cheryl Hurd and featured legendary Speaker of California and former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown Jr. as the principal speaker. The 200 guests included mayors, city council members, school board officials and county administrators who were warmly greeted by Rep. John Garamendi. Guests were also enthralled to hear the real-life story of special guest B. Konard Jones, president and CEO of NorthBay Health, whose father migrated to California at a very young age. Original art pieces depicting the Great Migration of African-Americans by David Graves added to the historic affect. The evening, motivated by Dr. Ashok Varma, cardiovascular anesthesiologist, and presented by our primary sponsor Kaiser Permanente, was an outstanding celebration of the United States’ newest national holiday and an enriching and enjoyable experience. Solano County Library Foundation has as its mission to support the Solano County Library in bringing the benefits of literacy to the citizens of the county through diverse programs and activities for adults as well as children. Cultural literacy is also an important component in understanding the world and its beautiful complexity. Jeannette Stevens, president, Solano County Library Foundation Fairfield

tenance department for the past 14 years, I’ve seen the benefits and stupidity of bond money, infrastructure like more class RMS is good. Teachers need to teach, not babysit. But tell me why tampon dispensers in boys’ restrooms is a good economic idea? An article stated the money was needed to fix leaky roofs. If I’m not mistaken, the money is allocated and saved from the yearly budget to fix projects. Trying to sell this bond as only 4 cents per $100 on assessed property value is an often-used ploy to get the uninformed to vote yes. Do property owners in our cities realize that’s $200 per $500,000, $400 per $1 million? How long will it be before we quit paying for the original bonds? Will we see a drop in our property taxes? I won’t mention what our state legislators are giving up. Being just retired and on a tight budget, $200 to $400 a year is a lot. I will not vote for the school board’s extension of Measures C and J, and will speak out against it to everyone who will listen. Michael Inabnett Fairfield

Volunteer to protect abortion rights The right to a safe abortion is currently under attack in our nation and it is a major issue. I am a 17-year-old Christian girl, I’m pro-choice and, like many others, I am deeply devastated by the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Everyone with a uterus should be able to decide for themselves what they do after becoming pregnant. In my religion, we believe God gave us free will. He did this because he wanted a relationship with us, and a relationship cannot be genuine without a choice. I choose to love God, I was not forced to. I believe parenthood requires that same choice. I would never dream of forcing somebody to have a child they may not be ready to take care of and love. Not to mention if they aren’t healthy enough for it. I say all this to communicate that there is absolutely no excuse for making this decision for someone who is not yourself. I think most people have this standpoint whether they are vocal about it or not. According to pewresearch.org, 61% of Americans agree that abortion should be legal. This shows that politicians are out of touch with the American people. I believe in us as Americans. We are smart enough to realize outlawing abortion will not prevent abortion, it’ll only prevent safe abortions. Here in California, you can still get an abortion, and there are no restrictions, but I don’t think that means we should sit back and watch. We can make change in all the states that are actively working to outlaw abortion by spreading information about upcoming elections so voters in these states can show up and vote. Just like in Kansas recently. Also consider volunteering with abortion care organizations in these states to support them. Jane Sossaman Fairfield

I will vote against school Where is Wanda Williams? bond extension In these trying economic times when food is up, gas is up and all products and commodities are up anywhere from 10 to 50%, why does the Fairfield-Suisun School District board want to add to our bottom dollar woes by wanting another school bond extension? Tell me, how many other of our kids are going to be helped by a new theater, or a baseball complex at Fairfield High School? Three percent, maybe! Being in teh district’s main-

I’m concerned that Suisun City participated in hosting a “Good Neighbor Meeting” for a development project that is a potential threat to Travis Air Force Base. My concerns were confirmed when representatives from the Buzz Oates company expressed that Suisun City is supporting development around Travis without apparently knowing whether that development is in the best interests of the base. Encroachment of a military base can

lead to a decision by the Department of Defense to close that facility. It happened in 1993 to Mare Island in Vallejo. Vallejo still hasn’t recovered from the economic devastation of its naval base closing. Imagine the economic devastation if this happens to Travis; yet encroachment is exactly what the federal government looks at when deciding whether a base should continue. Incremental encroachment is a main reason bases have shuttered across the U.S. No base is immune. The presentation made by the developer was polished with its projection of jobs created and revenues generated. It’s hard not to think this project would be an economic boom for the area except for its negative impacts to Travis. However, it’s extremely shortsighted to think any development that incrementally results in the closure of the county’s most important employer, with a $2.1 billion economic impact, is a good idea. Wanda Williams, a Suisun City council member, is running for county supervisor. This project illustrates her lack of knowledge about how to safeguard Solano County’s most important economic asset. A closure of Travis Air Force Base would be crushing. How can Ms. Williams be trusted to protect the future of Travis when she doesn’t understand that encroachment by even the smallest projects can eventually lead to its closure? It shows a lack of preparation, experience and determination to do what’s necessary to make sure Travis stays off any base closure list. No project is worth the potential closure of this base. No matter how badly a city may want it. Wanda Williams should have raised concerns long before this if she understood the ramifications. She doesn’t. This is serious and it’s disturbing. Louis W. Webster Jr. Fairfield

State’s flogging 2 dead horses Flogging a dead horse is an old expression that needs no explanation. That’s what comes to mind when I read about two projects the state just can’t seem to forget, specifically the Delta tunnel and the bullet train. The Delta tunnel would shuttle “surplus” Northern California water to the south state conveyance system. Maybe there was surplus Northern California water 60 years ago when this idea was first hatched, but since then water use has increased in Northern California and water falling from the sky has decreased. By 2030, the earliest the tunnel could become operational, there will be no surplus Northern California water, at least most years. The tunnel price tag is officially $16 billion, which means the actual cost will probably be around $30 billion. That expenditure will not add one drop of water to the state supply. How many solar-powered desalination plants could be built for $30 billion? That, at least, would result in more water, rather than merely redistribution. The bullet train remains on life support, for some reason. By the time the bullet train is completed (if ever) you would alternatively be able to hop in your autonomous car, tell it to drive to L.A. and wake you when it gets there. Completing the bullet train will consume untold billions. That money would be better spent building an automobile-only lane on Interstate 5. Both the Delta tunnel and bullet train projects have been overtaken by time. Due to drought and climate change there will be no surplus water to ship south. Self-driving cars will make the bullet train irrelevant. Hopefully, the Legislature will see the writing on the wall and terminate both obsolete projects. Brian W. West Vacaville

BUSINESS

Labor From Page A7 movies and travel. “There’s no doubt that some employers have just come off of a time when labor markets were unusually tight, so they may be reluctant to lay people off as they would have before this period of labor shortages,” said Erica Groshen, an economics adviser at Cornell University and the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics from 2013 to 2017. Some economists say that the media has been giving too much weight to the importance of recent layoffs concentrated in a few sectors to the health of the overall job market. “Layoffs are very low right now,” said Daniel

Zhao, lead economist at Glassdoor. “We’re relying too much on anecdotes, and a tight labor market means many workers are easily able to find new opportunities.” Geneva Tucker, a research analyst in Kansas City, Kan., was laid off in May by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment because of budget cuts. Tucker has since applied to roughly 200 research jobs, with no luck. “Initially I was looking for similar work, but it hasn’t been an easy process,” said Tucker, who has a degree in microbiology. “At this point, I’m just trying to apply to any jobs that my experience is relevant to that can pay a decent amount.” Two months out of work, she is just now getting unemployment benefits and barely scrap-

ing by. She has even cut back on staple groceries. “It’s a real struggle to make ends meet at all,” Tucker said. “When gas is $5 a gallon, it’s really hard to drive to job interviews because I can’t afford gas. It seems extremely unfair to have all this experience and my degree and get to this point where I’m struggling day-to-day.” Roaring job growth could offer an encouraging sign that the Fed hasn’t gone too far in cooling off the economy, and that it might be able to slow the economy without spelling disaster for the labor market. To get control of the highest inflation in 40 years, the Fed has raised interest rates four times this year, including with two back-to-back hikes of three-quarters of a percentage point. Fed leaders routinely say that

they will keep raising rates until they see clear and convincing evidence, through months of data, that inflation is turning around. The risk, though, is that they move so aggressively that businesses freeze hiring or issue widespread layoffs that leads to a spike in unemployment. Yet the latest gangbuster jobs data seemed to dampen those fears, at least for now. “The Fed has to worry less that their actions are causing a precipitous slowdown and a potential recession,” said Skanda Amarnath, executive director of Employ America, a left-leaning think tank that advocates for the Fed to let the economy run hot. “But ultimately, it’s the inflation data over the next two prints, before the September policy meeting.”

The Fed does not make a rate increase decision in August, and it’s too soon to know how far Fed officials will go at their policy meeting next month. Just last week, Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell noted that more data would be coming in to shape officials’ understanding of the economy. Betsey Stevenson, an economist at the University of Michigan and a member of the Council of Economic Advisers during the Obama administration, said that it would be a mistake to assume that the only way for the Fed to cool the economy is to cause employers to stop hiring. The overall jobs report underscored that the labor market is still exceptionally tight, Stevenson said, raising hope that the Fed could engineer a “soft landing” that avoids a painful recession

or high unemployment. Still, the jobs report showed more evidence of wage growth - which isn’t a sign of a slowdown. Economists are keeping a close eye for any markers of what’s known as a wage-price spiral, where higher prices precipitate higher wages in an unsustainable cycle that causes even more persistent inflation. “Are employers fighting over a pool of workers, and the fight is leading them to push up wages?” Stevenson said. “One reason I feel optimistic is that they were able to hire 528,000 people, and that means the pool is continuing to expand. . . . It would be worse if we were seeing those wage increases and we weren’t seeing the job growth. It’s subtle, but super important.”

Protect your skin from harsh sunrays

O

ur skin ages and needs proper care just like the rest of our body. Each year in the United States, more than 5 million people are treated for skin cancer and most cases of skin cancer are found in people older than 65 years of age. There are many reasons for this. First, most skin cancers result from sun damage over the course of our lives, and seniors have lived longer; they have had the most sun exposure and sustained the most damage from ultraviolet (UV) light. Both sunburns and suntans damage our skin’s DNA, breaking down the skin’s tissues so that it ages before its time, and producing genetic defects that can lead to skin cancer. Making matters worse, as we age, our skin undergoes changes that reduce our defenses against skin disease: weaker immune systems, poorer healing capacity, thinner skin and damage from external factors such as smoking and pollution. These changes all contribute to accelerated skin aging and increase our risk for skin cancer. Making sun protection an everyday habit can help prevent sunburns and lower the chances of getting skin cancer. Here are a few tips that can help: n Wear sun protective clothing. I’m a fan of a wide-brimmed hat and sun-protective clothing. This is a simple way to stay safe in the sun and unlike sunscreen, you don’t have to reapply it. There are actually clothing options with ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) ratings. UPF indicates how much ultraviolet radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin. UVA is the wavelength of light that can penetrate to the deep layers

Brian Vikstrom Fit after 50 of skin and lead to skin damage over time. UVB is the wavelength of light that penetrates the skin more superficially and causes sunburn. So, for example, a UPF 50 fabric blocks 98% of the sun’s rays, thus reducing your exposure risk significantly. A UPF of 30 to 49 offers very good protection, while UPF 50+ rates as excellent. When you use sunscreen, choose wisely. The most important factor about sunscreen at any age is that you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Broad-spectrum means the sunscreen will protect against both UVA and UVB. And just as with the protective clothing, use a sunscreen of at least 30, though preferably SPF 50. n Find some shade. The sun’s glare is most intense at midday. Staying in the shade between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. will further protect your skin. The sun can still damage your skin on cloudy days or in the winter. For this reason, it is important to stay protected throughout the year. n Protect your eyes. Sunlight reflecting off sand or water increases exposure to UV radiation and your risk of developing eye problems. Choose sunglasses with a UV400 rating or “100% UV protection” on the label. These sunglasses block more than 99% of UVA and UVB radiation and provide the most protection against UV rays. Dr. Brian Vikstrom is an oncologist/hematologist at NorthBay Health Cancer Center.

Older Americans go back to work in next frontier of labor force Bloomberg

J

ulie Diaz stepped down from her job as a legal secretary last spring. Her retirement ended up being short, and not so sweet. Now 70, Diaz is working day and night. She took a job in March at Home Instead, a U.S. home care provider for seniors. Diaz works 12-hour overnight shifts in Phoenix taking care of a 79-year-old with Parkinson’s disease and mild dementia. After work, she takes a nap, then drives more than 50 miles to babysit her granddaughters. Diaz’s daughter recently separated from her husband and started working at a restaurant, so she needs childcare and help paying thousands in legal fees to her divorce lawyer. Diaz exemplifies the push-and-pull dynamics resulting in more seniors in the U.S. labor force. On the one hand, millions of job openings and desperate attempts from employers to hire are opening the playing field. On the other, a decadeshigh inflation rate and retirement savings gouged by the falling stock market are forcing many to work to make ends meet. What started out as reentering the workforce opportunistically soon became a necessity. “We’re all suffering from high gas prices, grocery prices. I’ve never felt such hard times in my life,” Diaz said. “People are staying inside their homes as much as possible because we can’t afford to go out.” The size of the U.S. workforce is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels, but the participation rate – the share of the overall population that’s either actively working or looking for a job – has remained stubbornly depressed. By some pro-

jections, older generations can help fill the void. Those ages 75 and up are the only age group whose labor-force participation rate is projected to grow over the next decade, although their base is smaller. The number of workers in that age range is expected to jump nearly twofold by 2030, when nearly 10% of the civilian labor force will be older than 65, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. After a dip during the pandemic, BLS data from June already show rising employment among older Americans. There were more employed people ages 55 and over – the baby-boomer generation – last month than at any time in 2021. Within that age bracket, the number of full-time employees, defined as working at least 35 hours a week, is hovering near the highest in data back to 1986. People were already working longer for several reasons, especially greater life expectancy. Now inflation running at 9.1% in June – largely driven by higher costs for food, gas and shelter – has drawn more in. Not only is that hammering seniors on fixed incomes, but it’s also eating into the retirement savings of those who were able to stow money away. Four in five U.S. adults age 50 and over who hold financial products worth at least $10,000 are worried about inflation when they retire, according to a survey published last week by life insurance provider F&G. More than half of pre-retirees said they expect to work parttime in retirement to cover

Anne Heche is reportedly in “stable condition” following a car crash in Los Angeles on Friday night that left her badly burned – and a witness amazed that she lived. Heche, 53, remains in the hospital, a rep for the actress told People. “Her family and friends ask for your thoughts and prayers and to respect her privacy during this difficult time,” the rep said. The Daytime Emmy-winning actress was inside a blue Mini Cooper that crashed into a two-story home in Mar Vista, a neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles, on Friday. The crash was reported shortly before 11 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The incident caused the home to catch fire. — Tribune Content Agency

Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats on Saturday advanced their long-delayed health care, tax and climate bill following months of back-and-forth on whether the party would be able to pass major legislation addressing some of their progressive priorities before the midterm election. The Senate voted along party lines, 50-50, to start debate on the measure, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie. Democrats are passing the bill using a special parliamentary procedure called reconciliation, which doesn’t allow for a Republican filibuster. Democrats, eager to tout the bill’s benefits on the campaign trail this fall, lauded it as historic. “This is one of the most comprehensive and impactful bills Congress has seen in decades,” said Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer. “It will reduce inflation. It will lower prescription drug costs. It will fight climate change. It will close tax loopholes and it will reduce the deficit. It will help every citizen in this country and make America a much better place.” The bill would allow the federal government to begin to negotiate drug prices in Medicare – albeit slowly– and would create incentives and grants to combat the climate crisis, two major political priorities that Democrats are hoping to run on this fall. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which issues cost estimates of legislation, said

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., testifies during a hearing on the Electoral Count Act before Senate Rules and Administration Committee on Capitol Hill, Wednesday. Saturday it was still working on one due to last-minute changes. An analysis of an earlier version of the bill found it would decrease the deficit by $102 billion over a decade. For congressional Democrats and President Joe Biden, it would mark a welcome legislative bright spot. Democrats have been scrambling in recent days to tie up the negotiations – work that continued into Saturday. Because Democrats are enacting the bill through reconciliation, it has to be reviewed by a nonpartisan Senate official to confirm all elements of the legislation comply with Senate rules. That process has been underway for days and was largely done by midday Saturday. While Democrats were able to keep most of their bill intact through that process, they had to change the way a cap on rising drug prices will be calculated. It is also unclear whether a $35 cap on copays for insulin will make it through the process. After Saturday’s vote, lawmakers were expected

to begin a lengthy series of votes on amendments to the bill, dubbed vote-a-rama. Under the reconciliation process, the minority party can offer unlimited amendments, and it typically takes the opportunity to propose politically contentious ideas designed to block the bill or, at minimum, force the majority to take politically unfavorable votes. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the process will be “like hell. They deserve this.” “I’m hoping that we can come up with proposals that will make sense to a few of them and they’ll abandon this jihad they’re on,” he said Friday. Republicans argue the bill will make inflation worse. “Democrats want to run through hundreds of billions of dollars in tax hikes and hundreds of billions of dollars in reckless spending,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Saturday. CBO estimated the bill would have a “negligible” impact on inflation this year. Democrats have cited other economic experts who say it will reduce inflation. “This is fighting infla-

tion,” Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va., said last weekend while touting the bill on “Face the Nation.” “This is all about the absolute horrible position that people are in now because of the inflation costs, whether it be gasoline, whether it be food pricing, whether it be energy pricing, and it’s around energy, mostly that’s driving these high inflation.” If Democrats are able to stick together through the amendment series, they hope to give final passage to the bill as early as Sunday morning. House leaders plan to bring members of that chamber back to Washington on Friday to vote on the bill. If approved, it would go to Biden’s desk for his signature. Declared dead several times over the past year, the Democrats’ sweeping legislation was resurrected following secret talks between Schumer and Manchin the most conservative Senate Democrat. The bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, is much smaller than the original $3.5 trillion Build Back Better plan, which contained a slew of progressive policies like universal pre-K and child care that Manchin said in December he would not support. Once Manchin and Schumer cut a deal on a plan, attention turned to another frequent outlier in the Democratic ranks, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. She axed the bill’s tightening of a carried interest tax loophole that will benefit high-income investors and is expected to add new funding to combat drought, although those details are still undefined.

“That is our commitment to the community,” Christian said. It has taken the Old Navy staff some long hours to get all the clothing out and ready for the early morning shopping. “Hopefully the kids are having fun,” Christian said. “Usually kids don’t like school shopping but they look happy today.” Maj. Bob Louangamath of The Salvation Army Kroc Center said he was excited for his second year of doing the backpack giveaway. “It is a special event because it is not only a backpack giveaway but also a shopping opportunity for the kids,” Louangamath said.

This event was two months in the making. There were 60 volunteers from a variety of groups that came out to help again this year. The city of Fairfield’s Quality of Life Task Force and local community partners all joined in to gather the funds, supplies and food for the day. “The primary goal of the event is to provide free backpacks, school supplies and bags of food to those in need,” Johnson said.

Louangamath said he wasn’t sure why the numbers were down. The backpacks were donated by Great Cuts.

The foundation donated $10,000, and another $3,000 came from other donors. Larry’s Produce and Raley’s donated veggies and more. “We gave out two bags of food this year instead of one,” said Kevin Burke, president of the Fairfield Community Services Foundation board. There were 900 bags of food available for drivers and walk-up visitors to take home. New this year was Ask the Doctor, where people could pose questions to a doctor. They also had free Covid testing and Covid shots. The Fairfield Host Lions Club provided free eye exams. “We had a total of 1,200 backpacks this year,” Burke said.

Antonio Lee is presenting “Adrienne’s DragUation,” which is believed to be the first drag show in Fairfield.

Local man bringing 1st drag show to Fairfield Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Even as a child, Antonio Lee enjoyed dressing up, singing, dancing and play-acting – his own brand of a “drama queen” powered by his own imagination. Now, look at Antonio. Lee is the star of what is believed to be the first drag show in Fairfield: “Adrienne’s DragUation.” The single performance is set Saturday at the Downtown Theatre, located at 1035 Texas St. in Fairfield. “I’m very excited and very proud to be able to bring this to my hometown,” said Lee, who was born in Vallejo, grew up in

Fairfield and attended schools in American Canyon. “If Vacaville can have shows and Vallejo . . . why not Fairfield?” Lee, 23, does not shy away from the obvious ties the show has to the LBGTQ+ community, and part of the reason he put together the production is so members of that community have a safe place to go and enjoy themselves. But much more fundamental is that this variety show, featuring the talents of 11 other drag queens, is entertainment. Lee, performing as Adrienne, will feature his own music and choreography. But unlike other roles he has played on stage, including in traditional and even classic productions such as “Les Miserables” and the “Music Man,” he does not

consider Adrienne to be a stage role, but rather an extension of himself – a little bolder, more flamboyant extension. “Adrienne gives me a spark more of confidence, but at the end of the day, it’s still me; it’s still expressing a different side of me,” Lee said. Lee was part of GATE – Gifted and Talented Education – during his school days. When he was in fifth grade, the curriculum included an arts element, just no performances. “But we wanted to do actual plays,” Lee said. So the teacher began writing her own plays for the students to perform.

Franco to play Castro in upcoming film

James Franco is working his way back into the spotlight. The 44-year-old Oscar-nominated “127 Hours” star – who has largely been out of the spotlight since 2018 when he was the subject of sexual misconduct allegations by five women, including four of his students – will portray Fidel Castro in “Alina of Cuba,” Variety reports. The indie project will center on the life of Alina Fernandez, played by Ana Villafane, the illegitimate daughter of the Cuban revolutionary and his critic, according to the outlet. The film, on which Fernandez is a consultant, is expected to start filming later this month in Colombia, according to Variety. Last month, it was announced that Franco would have a role in Billie August’s post-war film, “Me, You,” due out next year. — Tribune Content Agency

Drag From Page B1 The next year, the arts program included actual performances. Lee also got involved with the Missouri Street Theatre in Fairfield, and in the years that followed, was sometimes involved in three productions at the same time: the one at school, one by the Missouri Street youth group and one by the Missouri Street adult group. One of his later roles in his early career would be La Cienega, the transgender teen in the play by Jessica Bendinger, “Bring it On.” Gregory

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, August 7, 2022 B3

Review

on Howard, good ol’ Ron Howard, is back in sturdy form with “Thirteen Lives,” a tense, nervy procedural thriller based on the 2018 incident in which a youth soccer team and its coach were saved from a flooded cave in Thailand while the world watched on breathlessly from afar. Howard’s film is unflashy and dismisses Hollywood fireworks in its depiction of the painstaking step-by-step process of the high-risk mission and evacuation. Real-life heroes don’t come with capes or slowmotion entrances, and neither do the brave men in Howard’s grounded, solid telling. A group of boys is playing soccer one afternoon, and after practice (and before one of their birthday parties, which will include a SpongeBob SquarePants birthday cake), they make a stop at the Tham Luang Nang Non cave, in northern Thailand’s Tham Luang– Khun Nam Nang Non Forest Park. It’s June 2018, and monsoon season is still a

month off. But a sudden flash of unexpected rains falls quick and hard and floods huge portions of the cave, trapping the 12 boys and their coach deep inside. Once it’s determined the boys are missing – their bicycles are found at the entrance of the cave – a rescue mission is convened. Teams attempt to pump water out from inside, but it’s still pouring in from the mountain above. Navy SEALs are brought in to try to explore the caves underwater, but there’s little visibility or maneuverability inside, as strong currents and sharp corners in the twists and turns add to the peril of the situation. And no one even knows if anyone inside is alive. A team of international cave divers arrives on the scene, including James

Volanthen (Colin Farrell) and Rick Stanton (Viggo Mortensen). They’re faced with opposition from local forces, including the SEALs who don’t want outside help to save their own. Plus Rick is torn over his own involvement in the rescue. “I don’t even like kids,” he grouses. But it’s James and Rick who dive further into the cave than anyone before them, and who eventually discover the boys, miraculously alive, and awaiting rescue. But how to get them out? It takes expert level divers to get through the five-and-a-half hour dive, and with more rains on the way, there’s no time to lose. Meanwhile families, authorities and teams of volunteers are gathered outside the cave, as the incident captures the attention of the world over a period of nearly three weeks.

Haney played the role on Broadway. Lee, himself, would love to perform on Broadway, and said “it is going to happen,” but knows there is a lot of work to be done before he gets to New York. He also believes it may be his own work that gets him there. “So for my goals, it all goes back to entrepreneurship and ownership,” Lee said. He is a recent graduate of Los Angeles Harbor College, in Wilmington, part of the Harbor region in L.A. Next fall he will be attending the University of California, Irvine, studying vocal arts. His other work includes dancing in Keke Palmer’s latest music video,

“Bottoms Up 2.0,” as well as being a guest star in the Netflix show, “The Upshaws.” Working in drag shows seemed like a natural extension for Lee, who said he has brought individuals to this show who have helped him along the way. He said he reached out to the management at the Downtown Theatre about his idea – the same people behind the Missouri Street Theatre – so they were familiar with Lee. “I’ve been performing at the Downtown Theatre since I was 9,” he said. “They were very open to it.” Lee said he also has received a great deal of support from neighbor-

ing merchants. The theater doors open at 7 p.m. to a kind of gala reception during which the public can meet and mingle with the queens. The show starts at 8 p.m. and will run about two hours, including a 15-minute intermission. For tickets, go to www. downtowntheatre.com or call 707-940-0700.

You likely remember the incident from the news, and it’s already been the subject of several documentaries, including 2019’s “The Cave” and 2021’s “The Rescue.” “Thirteen Lives” is a catch-all dramatization for those who haven’t seen the previous projects, and it’s so down the middle that it often plays like a documentary. (Farrell and Mortensen play their exceptionally talented divers like a couple of

average Joes.) What emerges is a quietly triumphant story of teamwork and dedication, built around the worldwide effort to rescue these kids. Howard, working from a script by William Nicholson (“Gladiator,” “Unbroken”), turns in his best effort since 2013’s “Rush” by letting the story be the story and not punching it up with any flash, pomp or circumstance. He balances the rescue mission, its politics, the culture clash of the divers, the families of the children’s concerns and the media attention around the mission in nimble fashion, never losing sight of those 13 lives at the center of the story. He makes “Thirteen Lives” an act of humanity.

Pope says ‘door is open’ to retirement as he slows pace The Washington Post ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE — The trip, Pope Francis said, was a “test” – first a 10-hour flight across the Atlantic and an eight-hour time change, followed by nine speeches in five different places in Canada. It was a lot for an 85-year-old pope with a knee so painful that he can scarcely walk on his own. So, on the return flight to Rome, Francis said he has concluded that he needs to slow down. He said his style would have to change a bit. He even said the “door is open” to retirement, although nothing is imminent. “I don’t think I can go with the same pace of the trips as before,” Francis said, conducting his news conference aboard the papal plane from a seat. “I think at my age and with this limitation, I have to save [my energies up] a bit to be able to serve the church or, on the contrary, think about the possibility of stepping aside. This I say with all honesty.

It is not a catastrophe. It is possible to change pope.” He said it was a “normal option” to think about retirement. That echoed other comments in which he has said he would be open to stepping down if his health made it impossible to run the church. But so far, Francis said, he has not reached that point. “That doesn’t mean the day after tomorrow I don’t start thinking [about it], right?” Francis said. “But right now, I honestly don’t.” During his six days in Canada, Francis had moments both of sturdiness and frailty. For all the jet lag, he steadily delivered one speech after the next and enjoyed moments of clear levity – such as when he called for a detour from his wheelchair to get closer to a crowd outside a church. But he also faced limitations far different from earlier years in his papacy. While visiting an Indigenous community in the plains of Alberta, where

he apologized for the brutality of Canada’s residential school system, he was wheeled to the edge of a wooden pathway leading to a cemetery. But he couldn’t move among the grave markers, all of which were on grass. Although he has been quite healthy for much of his papacy, Francis over the past year-anda-half has dealt with painful flare-ups of sciatica, has undergone colon surgery, and most recently has experienced knee inflammation that has left him largely dependent on a wheelchair. The lost mobility has forced him to reconsider his hands-on style as pope. Many times, before his Canada trip, he has bemoaned his inability to mix with crowds of pilgrims as he used to. And that is just one of the ways his pontificate has changed. He no longer has the rock-star following or draws immense crowds. His stories lack the novelty of earlier years – including in news conferences,

where he keeps surprises to a minimum. But on some topics such as aging - his words carry more weight than ever. Many of his prepared remarks touch on the value of the elderly, and it is left for interpretation how much of his sentiment reflects personal experience. “It warms my heart to see so many grandparents and greatgrandparents here,” Francis said at one point during his time in Canada. “I thank you and would like to say to all those families with elderly people at home: You possess a treasure! Guard this source of life within your homes. Take care of it as a precious legacy to be loved and cherished.” In Canada, organizers shaped the itinerary to meet his limitations. He moved to and from the papal plane on a platformlike lift. He spoke while seated. The trip had a slower pace than preceding tours - with two events most days rather than four or five. “I don’t think I can go with the

same pace of the trips as before,” the pope said. In Canada, Francis asked forgiveness – personally and on behalf of “many” in the Catholic Church - for the church’s involvement in one of Canada’s foremost traumas: residential schools that aimed forcibly to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Christian society. Francis’s trip broke the norms of papal travel because it was overtly intended for penitence, not evangelization. Francis said he will continue to travel. Although he had to cancel an earlier trip in July to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan because of treatment for his knee, he has a run of short trips within Italy in the coming weeks, and he is to travel to Kazakhstan in September. Francis also raised the possibility of trying once more to visit to Congo. “It will be next year,” he said.

with earbuds or by going into a Zen-like meditative state, where you are able to block out all outside noise. Dear Annie: My ex-husband and I have four children and eight grandchildren. We have been together for 40 years, but we have been divorced for 12 years. We have never been apart from each other until recently. He started ghosting me and not answering my texts or calls. We have not lived together for a while but have always stayed connected. I found him with another woman, and he said they were together. She is letting him drive her new truck, and she has some money with which they go to the casino almost every night.

I’m heartbroken by the way he dumped me for someone else and just couldn’t tell me. He said he still wanted to talk to me because we have kids and grandkids together. I told him to delete my number and wished him a happy life. This has been going on for six weeks. Will it get easier? The other woman is going through a divorce. — Heartbroken by My Ex Dear Heartbroken: It has been 12 years since your divorce, and I’m not really sure why you still are expecting your ex-husband not to find love. He deserves love as much as you do. It is very immature of you to tell him to delete you and have a happy life. The way it will get easier is to really come to terms

Once you really start to accept the facts, the easier it will be for you to move on. I know it must sting and be difficult, and I am sorry that you are having to deal with this, but when one door closes, another opens. The relationship you had with your ex-husband being more friendly is now over, and your best chance for happiness is to find a new relationship.

FOR YOUR HEALTH

by Holiday Mathis

Today’s birthday You’ll spend long stretches in your Elysium Field – an idyllic haven you’ve earned entry to. Even so, you’ll wisely limit your time there, opting to sharpen your skills on life’s obstacle courses. Highlights include: a daring deal, the happy resolution of a longstanding family matter and a promise kept with magical consequences. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 4, 44 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is never hard to work when you’re interested in what you’re working on. You’ll be magnetized to the manifestation of your expectation. Magnets don’t run on fuel. They do not contain energy; they only help to control it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It takes discipline to hone an aesthetic. You cannot choose everything at once, but if you could, it would be visually chaotic. You’ll show your excellent taste as you figure out what goes together and what you like. Less is more. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your ideas have movement and shape to them. To observe your thoughts objectively, as though they are entities outside of yourself, will be the exercise that helps you come up with your next best move. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Present information, but don’t try to influence others to think about things the way you do. You’ll learn more when you relax and let discoveries come about more naturally. Let everyone contribute to the process of comprehension. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Formality isn’t often necessary, and that’s its power. Most people wouldn’t think to make the effort. You’re not thinking like most people, though. You’re creating an effect of restraint and refinement. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes it feels like you’re forever having to reorganize, adjust the timeline and set your priorities anew. On the bright side, it’s a sign of being the flow of life, responding, growing and improving. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Either you’re not sure what you’re trying to express or you’re afraid to risk saying what you really mean. Just know that however you feel about things, it’s acceptable. You can bet there are others who feel the same. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll let go of physical items and the emotional weight that goes with them. The quest for less will bring you gorgeous inner peace while you collect smiles from the recipients of your bounty. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Get vaccinated

One primary focus for National Immunization Awareness Month is to encourage and provide vaccinations to children.

for National Immunization Awareness Month

K aela Ahad

FOR THE DAILY REPUBLIC

accines have been a major point of conversation for a while, essentially since the Covid-19 pandemic began. With the focus on Covid-19 vaccines, many have forgotten the importance of other vaccines, including flu, shingles and hepatitis B. The month of August is recognized as National Immunization Awareness Month, with the intention to highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages. National Immunization Awareness Month is focused on how imperative vaccines are for everyone of all demographics. One primary focus for this month is to encourage and provide vaccinations to children. This is because routine childhood vaccinations, such as for flu or the measles, are just as important as vaccines you only need once or a few times, like the ones for human papillomavirus, or HPV, and meningococcal conjugate. This is because some vaccinations require multiple doses, and some need to be updated in accordance with how the disease mutates for the vaccination to be fully effective. Unfortunately, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, public sector vaccine ordering data indicates a 14% drop from 2020-2021 in comparison to 2019, and for the measles vaccine, there

is a drop of more than 20%. Therefore, one of the goals for this month is to increase vaccine ordering rates for all vaccines, especially for children. The reason it is so important for children to get vaccinated is because there is a specific schedule to vaccines that start at 6 months that, if followed, work in preventing or mitigating the corresponding diseases. The United States Department of Health and Human Services suggests helping children get caught up on these vaccinations as more and more schools resume in-person learning. This requires collaboration between health care systems and providers, as well as state and local governments and schools. Some of the responsibility does fall on the families, as well, to ensure they and their children are updated on their immunizations. For clinicians, it is important to be able to recommend these vaccines while dispelling myths and misconceptions about them. An important aspect of this is integrating encouraging support for vaccinations within their medical practices. The CDC website provides a How-To video for clinicians on how to do so. In addition to this tutorial, the CDC has several key messages for various immunizations for mothers, children/adolescents and adults. Each of these messages are specific to each demographic, with data on how being immunized bene-

fits these individual populations. The CDC website also provides an assessment tool for adult vaccines to help determine whether they are missing vaccines and are up to date. During the pandemic, Solano County has seen a significant decline in well-child visits and immunizations. The “Bee-wise, Immunize!” campaign, which is a collaborative effort that includes Solano County, First 5 Solano, Partnership HealthPlan of California, Childstart and Solano County school districts, encourages families to get up to date on routine visits and vaccinations with their child’s primary care provider or community clinic. For help finding a primary care provider or getting health insurance, call Help Me Grow Solano at 844-501-5437 or visit helpmegrowsolano.org. Another resource recently developed through a collaborative effort with Public Health, First 5 Solano, Partnership HealthPlan of California, Ole Health, La Clinica, Help Me Grow Solano and Child Start is the website SolanoVaxFacts.com, which serves as a public resource for information on early childhood immunizations. National Immunization Awareness Month is the perfect time to get up to date on all recommended vaccines.

Giants cure woes, hit 3 HRs in win over A’s Tribune Content Agency OAKLAND — The Giants rode back-to-back blasts to a win in the first game of the Bay Bridge series and their first victory in the month of August, six days since the calendar turned. Apparently, there was no better cure for San Francisco’s woes than a meeting with its cross-bay rivals, as the A’s provided little resistance against a club coming off a fourgame sweep at the hands

of the Dodgers. After never leading for more than an inning against the Dodgers, the Giants never trailed in a 7-3 win Saturday in front of the Coliseum’s largest crowd of the season (40,065). Making his first start since the the Giants held on to him at the trade deadline, Carlos Rodón was far from dominant but limited Oakland to a lone run over 5⅓ innings. San Francisco spotted him an early lead with runs

in each of the first two innings, before LaMonte Wade Jr. and J.D. Davis blew the game open with back-to-back home runs in the sixth. It was clear many of season-high crowd, clad in orange and black, had made the trek across the Bay Bridge. It’s up for debate who had the longer commute: fans who made the trip from San Francisco, or the ball Davis launched to straightaway center. Statcast measured

the mammoth blast at 437 feet, the Giants’ fourth-longest homer of the season (and second only to Joc Pederson outside of the altitudeaided Coors Field). It was the second time Davis had gone yard in three games since coming over from the Mets in exchange for Darin Ruf at the trade deadline. The Giants’ seven runs were their most in 16 games since the AllStar break, a stretch of baseball that features only

four wins and has sunk them 6.5 games back of the wild card, even after Saturday’s game. All four wins since the break have come against clubs with winning percentages of .406 or below. It was maybe the best game of the season from Wade, whose homer just before Davis’ knocked Oakland starter Adam Oller from the game and drove in Joey Bart, giving the Giants a 4-1 lead. Wade also led off the second with a double and

scored the second run of the game on a single from Joc Pederson. Battling injuries and swing troubles, Wade had recorded multiple hits in only two previous games this season, and Saturday marked his first with two hits for extra bases in the same game. The setting, perhaps, was fitting, as Wade delivered one of his most memorable performances from last year’s breakout in this very ballpark, with his ninth-inning pinch-hit home run.

Bryant Young speaks during the Pro Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony at Tom Benson Hall of Fame

Stadium, Saturday, in Canton, Ohio. Young had an illustrious 14-year career in San Francisco.

49ers’ great Bryant Young gives tribute to son at enshrinement By Jerry McDonald BAY AREA NEWS GROUP

CANTON, Ohio — Bryant Young was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday, and his acceptance speech extolled the virtues of “sacrifice, selflessness and integrity” that marked a 14-year career with the 49ers. Young made reference to his devastating knee injury in 1998 from which he made a miraculous recovery, but was brought to tears, along with many others in the audience, with an inspirational message about a far greater loss. Bryant Colby Young, one of six children of Bryant and Kristin Young, died of brain cancer in 2016 at age 15. Diagnosed with a brain tumor at 13, Colby had surgery to remove the tumor and was back at school eight days later. “His spirits were good. He had

the heart of a lion,” Young said. Colby was told radiation treatments would make playing football impossible, so he concentrated on basketball instead. “The treatments were hard. Colby showed immense courage,” Young said. “We were really hopeful, and the following October, Colby said, `Dad I have a headache.’ The cancer was back.” The cancer had spread and Colby’s condition was grave. “Colby sensed where things were heading and had questions,” Young said. “He didn’t fear death as much as the process of dying. Would it be painful? Would he be remembered? We assured we would keep Colby’s memory alive and continue speaking his name. “On Oct. 16, 2016, God called Colby home. Colby, you live on in our heart,” Young said as his voice

cracked with emotion. “We assured Colby we would keep his memory alive and keep speaking his name.” Young, 50, was one of seven people enshrined at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. Those who joined Young with local connections were former Raiders wide receiver Cliff Branch, defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who played four years with the Raiders, and former NFL coach, Calistoga native and San Jose State product Dick Vermeil. Also becoming members of the 362-member Hall were Jacksonville tackle Tony Boselli, Green Bay safety LeRoy Butler, former official Art McNally and New Orleans and Carolina linebacker Sam Mills.

A little more wiggle could give 49ers’ Mitchell healthier season By Eric Branch

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

SANTA CLARA — New San Francisco 49ers running backs coach Anthony Lynn had some advice for Elijah Mitchell this spring after reviewing his historic rookie season. Lynn, a former NFL running back, was impressed with Mitchell’s aggression, decisiveness and fearlessness. The advice: When possible, avoid collisions instead of inviting them. “At least take half a man,” Lynn said, smiling. “That’s better than taking the whole man.” Mitchell’s penchant for full-speed, pile-moving collisions was a reason for his dazzling debut. Mitchell, a sixth-round pick, set a franchise rookie record for rushing yards (963) and ranked second among all NFLrookies in

aged 3.1 yards per carry in three playoff games, including a season-low average (1.8) in the NFC Championship Game loss to the Rams, after averaging 4.7 yards in the regular season, which ranked fourth in the NFL among running backs with 150-plus carries. “His mental makeup – he is a tough Shae Hammond/Bay Area News Group/TNS son of a gun,” Lynn said.

SAN FRANCISCO — Steph Curry can’t stop moving. Running wild is one of his signatures moves on the basketball court and a tradition of his off-seasons. Since parading down Market Street to celebrate his fourth NBA title with the Warriors three months ago, Curry has golfed in Tahoe, hosted the ESPYs, treated hundreds of kids to an A’s game in Oakland and celebrated his three children’s birthdays and his 11th wedding anniversary with his wife, Ayesha, in France. Now he’s hosting 26 elite high school basketball players – 13 girls and 13 boys – at his Curry Camp, held at the San Francisco Olympic Club. A tradition that took a two-year break amid the pandemic, but resumed this year with some of the country’s top young talents in house, including identical twin phenoms Amen and Ausar Thompson and Division 1 recruits like UConn commit Ashlynn Shade. At Friday’s practices, Curry warmed up, ran drills with his campers and even refereed scrimmages between the boys and girls sides. Isn’t he even little tired?

“Not at all,” Curry said. “Running on championship adrenaline.” Of course, Curry brought along a little help to the intimate event. Former teammate and current free agent Kent Bazemore and his personal trainer Brandon Payne are coaching alongside him along with a team of people from Curry’s camp. “I love to give that back knowing I have the opportunity to do so,” Curry said. “And I love to be out there engaged with the kids. I really have fun doing it.” And Friday’s special event was a full coaching session with Bob McKillop, Curry’s coach at Davidson College just recently retired after 33 years. He didn’t go easy on the kids, unafraid to get up in the young players’ personal space. “You’re on Curry’s team, you put that jersey on, you make sure you handle what that represents,” McKillop said in a fiery pre-practice speech. “And what does that represent? Does that represent shooting 3s? He shot 68% on layups this year, 98% from the foul line this year. He does everything shooting-wise. But that’s with the ball in his hands. He runs 2.5 miles per game. Because he’s cutting, helping, attacking space. make your team better.”

And he began doing agility drills, assigned by Lynn, that he continues to do before each trainingcamp practice. “Open field, making people miss,” Mitchell said. “That’s one thing I focused on this offseason that I wanted to get better at.” The preseason begins Friday.
