wife, Elizabeth Aiello, live in the same neighbor hood as the Hove family, and stopped by their stand multiple times over the past month to pick up treats. They were espe cially fond of the scones.
After several hours of selling scones on his front lawn in Toronto, David Hove needed a bathroom break. He left his curbside stand unattended for a few minutes, and in that brief time, it was stolen. The whole thing - including the cooler, a wicker folding table and some supplieshadThevanished.only thing left behind was a handwritten sign that read “homemade lemon cranberry scones.”
Every year, the percent age of watch-wearers goes down – the latest numbers indicate fewer than one-third of people wear watches every day and most of those are the aforementioned fitness watches.

“I just thought the police are dealing with a lot of other issues, and I don’t want to stretch them thin,” explained Hove, who was surprised by the theft because the family lives in a neighborhood with minimal crime.

The theft was captured on a secu rity camera outside the Hove family’s home. The footage shows a man stop ping in a white SUV and loading his truck with the siblings’ stand. There also appears to be a child in the back seat of the vehicle.

“It felt really great,” said Kimberly, who began baking more scones.
Oh, sure, watches are still sometimes seen as stylish. But they’re jewelry, like wearing cufflinks or tie clips were seen back in the day.
The watch is disappearing, because, of course, why wear a watch when you have a phone?
David and Kimberly were elated and ready to get back to work.
Beyond their love of the scones, the couple also admired David’s ambition and wanted to support his entrepreneurial efforts.
When he heard that David’s stand was stolen, he and his wife ventured to a hardware store and bought a table and cooler, which they dropped off at the Hoves’ home.
Case shaky for need for adults to wear watches
watch love is just a secret way to overcome my childhood fear of growing up but never being taken seriously. Mind your own business! I can still tell you what time it is in a couple of seconds!
The siblings’ father, also named David Hove, said he was stunned that someone would steal a child’s baked-goods stand. “I was so upset. It was like being kicked in the gut,” he said. “How can some body do this to kids?”
“I was an entrepre neurial kid my whole life,” said Byrne, 54, who spent his childhood mowing lawns and doing other odd jobs for money. He feared the theft might deter David from staying in business, so he decided to step in.

“I’m not lying when I say this to you: They’re incredible,” said Ricci, 48.
I attempted to grow into those standards as a teen. I carried a comb in junior high and high school, though I rarely used it. I briefly carried a hand kerchief. I carried a wallet, where I kept my student body card, a couple of dollars and a few other things. (Library card? Baseball cards? Pictures of myself? It’s a mystery.)

The legislation, Senate Bill 1020, requires that California get 90% of its power from renewable sources by 2035 – the same year the state is now scheduled to end sales of gasoline-powered cars – and 95% by 2040 while retaining the 2045 deadline for converting to a carbon-free electrical grid.
Is California really up the task that the new legislation mandates, a very expensive, relatively rapid conversion and expansion of this immensely complicated and absolutely vital thing we call the grid?

Never forget 9/11 – 21 years later
So in Fairfield and Suisun City, as far as my search has revealed, 21 years is how long never forget lasted.
For example, he notes concerns the inspector general for the Capitol police pointed out in a review. What he’d rather not have you remember is that the Republican president and his toadies whipped the crowd into a frenzy, sent them off to the Capitol where they rioted and five people died. That was the real problem, not any shortcomings the Capitol police mightThenhave.Heal blames House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the lack of GOP rep resentation on the committee, citing Pelosi’s rejection of two of the five pro posed by Rep. Kevin McCarthy. What Heal would rather you not remem ber is McCarthy had the opportunity to nominate two others. Instead, McCar thy stomped off in a snit, pulled the three approved members and refused to replace the other two. As a result, only two Republicans were left on the committee. That’s McCarthy’s fault, notFinally,Pelosi’s.there’s Liz Cheney, who Heal characterizes as a “Republican in name only.” Anyone familiar with Cheney’s political credentials knows she is a rock-solid conservative, a true Republican. In addition, she has prin ciples and stands by them, something many in today’s GOP are unfamiliar with. I may not agree with a lot of her positions, but I have a deep respect for her candor and willingness to put her political life on the line to get at the truth. Branding her a RINO is laugh able, were it not so sad.
I will of course have to add an extra flag or two to my house since one flies above it every day. To all of your city and county officials, parks and recre ation, or community services directors, shame on you, if all you can remember is all the national hotdog, and restau rant week, etc.

Likewise, nobody thought about how those rules would affect the food industry. Experts in the business predict that restaurant and fast-food prices would increase as much as 20%.
These are the kinds of laws that are driving businesses out of California.
Garcia for Suisun City Council
While this housing shortage should be addressed, and these opportunity sites may be favorably located relative to public transit and jobs, these sites do not satisfy the other important cri teria of proximity to vital public and neighborhood retail services. This is especially important for lower-income residents who are more dependent on walking to meet their daily needs, and as apartment dwellers, more reliant on neighborhood parks for recre ation. School, park, grocery and other neighborhood commercial services are already severely lacking for exist ing residents in the North Cordelia area, let alone for additional residents of the nearly completed Green Valley II apartments and more high-density housing along Suisun Valley Road.
Finally, the grid itself – the massive complex of high-voltage lines linking gen erators and importing power from other states – will need upgrading, not only to handle the conversion of power sources, but to meet rising demands and to prevent fail ures that cause wildfires.
Joe Joyce Fairfield
Young people today often get a bad rap. I am therefore writing to commend a real local hero who, despite the horrible heat we have been experiencing recently, went over and above to help a person whose address is on the 400 block of Union Ave.
The munchkins in Sacramento have come up with a solution to a non-problem.Theywere appalled by the almost 5 million tons of disposable foodware items that end up in landfills. These are the things – little packages of jellies, coffee sweeteners, other condiments –that we find on restaurant tables, and the packaged plastic fork, knife and napkin that we get at fast-food places.
The young man concerned turned up at our office on Sept. 6 holding a wallet that he’d found. He came to the address on the person’s driver’s license. Initially, he was reluctant to give it to us, because – in fairness – he didn’t know us or the work we do. In any event, he did hand over the wallet (with everything intact) – and after scouting Facebook and a little bit of sleuthing we were able to reunite it with its owner.
A Sept. 14 Planning Commis sion meeting will consider the Draft Housing Element for 2023-2031 as part of the ongoing update to Fairfield’s General Plan (www.fairfieldforward. com). Unfortunately, this housing plan continues to ignore public feedback provided to the city over the past year (including an April 28 workshop at the Fairfield-Cordelia Library), about the need to provide for important services already missing in the North Cordelia area before adding more housing.
Themodels.sharp decline in solar power in late afternoon and early evening hours also requires banking renewable juice when it’s available so that the grid can continue to meet overnight demand – such as recharg ing the 30 million or so battery-powered cars we will be compelled to buy.
The state now has a few battery banks to preserve solar power but scaling up will be enormously difficult and expensive and at the moment there are few alternatives.
By happenstance, Tuesday’s test of the power grid’s resilience came just a few days after the Legislature passed – at Gov. Gavin Newsom’s behest – legislation to speed up California’s conversion to a carbon-free electrical grid by 2045. So the day’s experi ence provided a graphic snapshot of what must to happen for that conversion to occur.
So it is with Mr. Earl Heal’s recent column on the Jan 6 committee: There are some things he would prefer you pay no attention to.

s California baked under recordhigh temperatures last Tuesday and the state’s residents turned up their air conditioners to cope, electric ity consumption hit an all-time peak. The record demand of more than 52,000 megawatts was experienced in the 80% of the state’s electric power system managed by the Indepen dent System Operator and was a successful stress test for the Californiansgrid. heeded pleas to minimize consump tion in the all-important late afternoon and evening hours, thus averting rolling blackouts that grid man agers had feared would be needed to avoid systemic collapse. Luck also played a role – no major power plant shutdowns – as did having a healthy amount of reserve generation.
This day, I will remember!
Several people use this address as we are a business that helps the lowincome and homeless.
Fairfield’s City Council just consid ered a draft ordinance to implement those rules. It’ll probably be passed at the next meeting.

But why is it when we say we will never forget something we seem to forget we say it? This seems to happen a lot. We promise our soldiers who go to war that if they are injured, we will care for them then we allow some of them to sleep in the streets.

I wonder what else Heal doesn’t want us to pay attention to in his upcoming Part 2.
That 5 million tons is barely 1% of all the trash, but it calls for action. So they passed Assembly Bill 1276 decreeing that restaurants cannot place such items on tables. Custom ers will have to ask for them. Did they think about how customers would react to asking for things that had always been on the tables? Probably not.
Can state really make power grid 100% green?
Last Tuesday, when power consump tion peaked in the late afternoon, renewable sources, principally solar panels, sup plied just over a quarter of ISO-managed juice, while plants powered by natural gas were producing nearly half. Later, as the sun began to set, solar arrays generated steadily less power, finally tapering off to zero, while the gas plants’ share of the load increasedClimaterapidly.scientists tell us that that Tues day’s experience, including elevated demands on the grid, will become more common. Meanwhile, California theo retically will, in just 13 years, more than triple its proportion of renewable power production.Butthere’s more. Power demand will not only increase due to climate change, but because California will be shifting everything it can from hydrocarbons to electricity.Meeting ambitious goals for zero-emis sion cars – the vast majority of them powered by batteries – will require much more power to recharge them so that Cal ifornians can continue to drive almost a billion miles a day. Simultaneously, the state wants to phase out gas-powered home appliances and other devices, such as lawn mowers, and replace them with elec tric

The Fed is on an all-out mission to tame the worst inflation in a generation, trying to reel in demand across the economy by raising the cost of borrowing. That’s already taking a toll on the housing market and broader eco nomic growth, and the economists see both weakening further.
The frequency of partial theft reports – a category that includes the theft of catalytic convert ers – spiked by nearly 850% in California from 2019 to 2021, accord ing to the Highway Loss Data Institute, a nonprofit funded by the insurance industry. About a quarter of the country’s insured Priuses sold between 2004 and 2009 are in California.“Assoon as you see one, you know it’s a Prius,” said Kay Wakeman, the institute’s director of insurance out reach. She said some hybrid cars, including the Toyota RAV-4, also have lookalike gas-only models, and thieves usually can’t tell the difference until they’re underneath the car with a handheld saw.
Police departments in Los Angeles, Sacramento and Las Vegas didn’t find Trinh’s catalytic con verter, she said – not that she expected them to. She eventually wrote
“I want some kind of justice,” Trinh said. “Even if it’s a glitter bomb.”

Northern California offers resources for veterans that may fall “under the radar,” but nonethe less deserve mention. The Solano County staff can explain available resources for medical care, but also mental health care, housing and much more. Sims explained that the federal department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, partnered with the VA to maximize veteran housing, often relying on social workers. The Covid-19 pan demic, however, seemed to reverse advances made over the previ ous decade. The Veterans Home of California-Yountville represents another resource.

Al and I agreed, based on our experiences, that the VA has come a long way over the years. For me, the experience includes training at VA medical centers as a doctor and getting medical care as a veteran at the Martinez Outpatient Clinic. Al underwent ankle surgery at Travis Air Force Base, which serves both VA and active-duty personnel.

Johnson has learned, having performed in the prior 20 Vacaville Jazz Festivals, that his sax and flute cannot compete with the horn section of the Nut Tree Plaza train.
“We are going to wing it. I sent them a set list, but we don’t practice,” Johnson said. Johnson’s resume is a who’s who of the jazz world, including 16 years as music
So following the old adage, and taking a lead from Queen, Johnson and his J. Har rison B. quartet will instead pay homage to the train with a series of tunes: John Mayer’s “Last Train Home;” Jethro Tull’s “Loco motive Breath;” and from 1946, “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie” by Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five.

These days, it’s hard not to see, hear or read about the use of psychedelics, whether it’s Michael Pollan’s best-sell ing book (and accompanying Netflix documentary) “How to Change Your Mind,” online advertisements for psy chedelic spa “trips,” underground therapists (also referred to as “sitters” or “guides”) with websites promising consciousness-expanding journeys, and a DIY online ketamine program –with a medical professional tethered by videoconferencing – that you can do at home. (Ketamine was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1970 as an anesthetic/analgesic, which makes it legal to prescribe. For over 20 years, it has been prescribed offlabel for depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. A derivative of ketamine, called esketamine – sold as Spravato – was approved by the FDA in 2019 specifically for depression.)

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a fine line between overthinking the future and planning ahead. If the thought process is ultimately slowing you down or stopping you, it’s overthinking. Planning is light; rumination is cumbersome.
Over the next 12 months, you’ll apply a successful system in many areas of life. You’ll study and learn the situation and figure out what people need and want so you don’t waste resources doing only what you’d prefer. You often deliver results before competition forms. You’ll play to your strengths and be useful and adored. Gemini and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 2, 22 and 17.

They are hardly outliers. According to a new YouGovAmerica study, “one in four Americans say they’ve tried at least one psychedelic drug,” amount ing to some 72 million U.S. adults. (The study included the medicines men tioned earlier, plus LSD, mescaline and salvia.) Was I missing a beat by not getting onboard?
What about people without a clin ical indication, but who are on a spiritual quest? Here are the consider ations I gleaned:

A smile, good posture and looking people in the eyes are all external signs that you can work on to show confidence. But if you want real, lasting confidence, that comes from a sense of accomplishment in what you do and knowing that you are good. Counseling can really help with this, which is why I recommend it so often.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Listening to what other people think lends insight. It’s an experience in and of itself. You will find value in advice even if it’s unsolicited and/or you have no intention of follow ing it. You’re humble, appreciative and diplomatic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The amount of time, money and effort that goes into food may seem to border on the absurd. But considering the impact good, satisfying nutrition has on your health and well-being, it’s an investment that’s sure to pay off.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: When he’s not touring the world with a brass band, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Harry Connick Jr. stars in television and film projects, as in the upcoming romantic comedy “The Islander.” Connick Jr. was born when Venus and Jupiter were both in Leo, the sign of the entertainer. Natal moon and Mars in Sagittarius indicate a love of travel and global appeal.
When I queried my psychiatrist about participating to help improve my mental health, he was supportive, with two caveats: Do it with a trained thera pist or guide, and do your best to ensure that the substance is what it’s said to be.
Find an experienced, trusted therapist: If you’re seeking a psy chedelic guide, word of mouth may be helpful. My friend, the real estate developer, said “for a first timer, I feel resolute in advising that others find a guide, ideally referred by someone you trust.” Hopkins’s Johnson urges people not to take one of these psy chedelic medications alone; although there are still risks, it’s less risky when someone is there who has knowl edge of the identity of the substance and the dose. (He said this can be especially critical for psilocybin mush rooms, which are known to have a great variation in their potency.) New programs are available, such as the Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research Certificate Program at the California Institute of Integral Studies, intended to serve the growing need for skilled psychedelic therapists to meet demand.

Matthew Johnson, a psychiatry pro fessor at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research who has conducted numer ous studies on psychedelics, also spoke to the issue of safety. To that point, Hopkins’s clinical trials screen out those with schizophrenia, bipolar dis order or severe heart disease.
n Set and setting: Over and over I heard this phrase, which refers to finding a healthy mind-set and a rela tively safe environment. For obvious reasons, Johnson called the rooftop of a tall building a bad idea, as is being around cars or sharp objects. Robert Mitchell, who has practiced psyche delic therapy and administered plant medicines for 30 years and has treated “hundreds of clients,” said “the most
“September 11, 2001, revealed heroism in ordi nary people who might have gone through their lives never called upon to demonstrate the extent of their courage.” — Ger aldine
I mentioned that, like millions of Americans, I’m taking an anti depressant (an SSRI or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), which he explained would probably mute the effect of psilocybin or MDMA. To partake of psychedelics, he told me I’d want to taper off the SSRI first, which is best done with medical supervi sion (and which I’ve had trouble with in the past).
in a smart and safe way? I started by interviewing Rick Doblin, founder and executive director of the Multidisci plinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He reminded me that, other than ketamine, none of these generally illegal psychedelics are approved by the FDA, so he would talk only about “minimizing risks.”
Doblin suggested that anyone with a “clinical indication” (such as depres sion, PTSD or anxiety), should go to ClinicalTrials.gov to find and pos sibly participate in nearby studies. Recently, when I checked the database for “psilocybin” studies in the United States, 67 trials came up. All are being conducted at well-known aca demic medical centers, which means the studies are done with pure drugs, approved by the FDA and licensed by the Drug Enforcement Adminis tration, which means the trials have regulatory approval.
“AmericaGiulianiwas not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination
Quotes that honor incredible courage mark day we’ll never forget
n Know what you’re ingesting: Doblin said there’s one DEA-licensed facility in the United States: Drug Detection Laboratories. It accepts anonymous samples of illegal drugs and will analyze them and post the results online. (You send it in with a specific code and pay a fee for the analysis.) Barring that, you’ll want to talk with potential guides about the source of their substances. Mitchell told me he knows where his psilocy bin mushrooms are farmed and can vouch for their purity. In the end, one friend who had two psilocybin sessions said he “had to rely on the guide and the trust engendered.” That’s always going to be imperfect.
Today is Sept. 11. A day that changed America forever. There were many brave men and women who lost their lives this day. Below are some quotes that help to remind us of the pre ciousness of life and honoring those with incredible courage.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life is full of second chances, and yet no oppor tunity is ever quite the same as another. So, when you recognize today’s break, don’t hesitate. Grab it and hang on. Your courage will be rewarded.
“I don’t want people to think that this is like going on a carnival ride,” he said. “There’s always a risk.”
Rudy
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Excep tional communication paves the way for positive relationships. You keep it light, you’re funny, you listen well and, above all, your intention is to honor and raise the other person.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe you’re not trying to change the course of history here, just shake things up a little. The way you defy expectation, disrupt routine and sow a little chaos will create surprise, confound prediction and raise the vitality of all.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To ensure consistent results, create a system that works and a habit of using that system repeatedly. This takes time, trial and error and tenacity. You have all three and will get exactly what you’re going for if you keep at it.
So will I be taking a psyche delicI’mjourney?reading everything I can get my hands on and talking to every one I can about their experiences. I’m also remembering the legal issues. Yes, Pollan and others are trying psy chedelics and writing about their experiences – and not being arrested or having their careers derailed or apparently suffering ill effects –but that shouldn’t be taken as carte blanche for the rest of us.
few weeks ago, I mentioned to a friend that I was interested in learning more about psychedel ics, especially how they might help me with depression and anxiety.
“TheBrooksattacks of Septem ber 11 were intended to break our spirit. Instead, we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and reli gious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom.” —

In other words, these drugs are not forJohnsoneveryone.reiterated that despite public testimonials about the posi tive therapeutic effects of psychedelic usage, “there are dangers, and it is illegal.” Was he trying to discourage me? “I’m don’t encourage anyone to do this on their own,” he said After researching this column, I’m not interested in taking this journey on my own. But assuming I’d have a guide or therapist, where would I start?
I’d been hesitant to be open about my search, because I’m old enough to remember the warnings about “bad trips” that scramble your brain. Imagine my surprise when my friend told me he’d recently taken his first “trip,” which he described as life-changing.Iaskedhim – a real estate devel oper living in Northern California, married with kids – why he decided to try a psychedelic substance. “My work felt increasingly stale and meaning less,” he explained to me over a beer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). “Chicken,” the game played to see who will back down first, is typically risky and today not worth the trouble. The more courageous move is to figure out a way to communicate better and find mutually respectful solutions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your love of humanity comes with an inclination to hold everyone to a high standard. You believe people are capable of amazing feats. Someone will soar to meet their potential as you cheer them on. Cheer yourself on, too.

“Despite a massive amount of reflec tion and coaching around how to break the rut, I felt as though I was still off Hetrack.”and the others who have used these medicines spoke on the con dition of anonymity because most of these psychedelics are Sched ule I substances, meaning they are illegal to manufacture, buy, possess or distribute.WhenI confided my interest in psychedelics to a few other friends, several said they had tried the drugs and experienced several benefits: from easing anxiety to finding spiritual insights to combating depression and, among some with cancer, helping to reduce the fear of dying.
n Do your homework: MAPS is an educational nonprofit group whose first phase 3 study – on the effective use of psilocybin for severe cases of PTSD – was published last year in Nature Medicine, a top peer-reviewed journal. The organization publishes information about the functions, uses and legality of psychedelics. It offers an introductory course, Psychedelic Fundamentals. Another resource is the “MAPS Code of Ethics for Psychedelic Psychotherapy,” which discusses psy chological and physical risks.

First, Trey Lance had a topsy-turvy training camp. And then the San Fran cisco 49ers lessened his starting-job security by retaining his predeces sor, Jimmy Garoppolo. And that move inspired the media to predict when he would be benched ( NBC’s Peter King: After sixAndgames).then Lance wasn’t among the six team captains the players elected, creating more chatter about how much (little?) confidence he had inspired. And then one of Lance’s top targets, All-Pro tight end George Kittle, suffered a groin injury Monday that kept him from practicing during the week and made him questionable for the season opener in
