Honoring Officer Capoot
Today, we gather in solemn remembrance to honor the life and legacy of Vallejo Police Department's James "Jim" Capoot, badge #497.
For 19 years, Officer Capoot devoted himself wholeheartedly to serving our Vallejo community and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with his fellow law enforcement colleagues.
A devoted family man, an honored Marine, a strategic basketball coach, a highly skilled motorcyclist, and an exceptional officer—these are just glimpses of the diverse roles that Officer Capoot embraced during his life. His unwavering commitment to service and dedication to his duty exemplified the core values of integrity and selflessness that define a true guardian of our community.
Officer Capoot, your service remains etched in our hearts with immense gratitude. Your absence creates a void that cannot be filled, yet your legacy continues to shine brightly, inspiring us in countless ways. Your impact remains indelible, and your memory will endure as a testament to your remarkable life. You are deeply missed and will forever remain in our thoughts.

Friday Night Lights: Vikings tame Tigers for playoff win
Vanden win at home 44-15
The No. 3 seed Vanden High School Vikings took advantage of a lightning-fast start and a sturdy defense to defeat No. 6 seed Roseville, 44-15, in a quarterfinal matchup in the CIF Sac Joaquin Section Division III playoffs Friday night.
Senior wide receiver Brayden Chavez capped off the first Vanden drive with a 7-yard touchdown and the Vikings never looked back, scoring three touchdowns and quickly bringing down nearly every Roseville player who dared to break free with a football in his hand.
Vanden broke things open in the second quarter, answering Joel Bradley’s kickoff return touchdown with a three-touchdown onslaught. A pair of TD passes from quarterback Kalani McLeod to Chavez and one from senior receiver Marcellus Chandler put the Vikings up at the half, 37-8.
Blackwell found the end zone again for the Vikings late in the third quarter to make the game 44-8. The fourth quarter rolled by uneventfully, until Bradley came up with a 50-yard touchdown reception on the final play of the game.
Vanden Head Coach Sean Murphy said McLeod did a great job of commanding the offense in his first playoff start. The Vikings have improved their discipline on both sides of the ball, he said, but there’s still work to be done to clean up penalties.
“We can’t make those mistakes next week,” he said, “I think some of it was nerves, for those mistakes, but we definitely have some work to do.”
Getting off to a quick start and capitalizing on the Tigers’ mistakes was critical, he said. “We’re happy with the effort,” he said, “but not happy with some of the execution.”
McLeod said he wasn’t nervous ahead of the game and was prepared well by his coaches for the matchup. “Our offense is very explosive,” he said. “We have multiple weapons and they can’t really keep up with our guys.”
Chavez said that he was happy to see his team get the job done in the playoffs.
“The playoffs is the time to step up,” he said, “so I had to step up to the occasion and play my best.”
Next up for the Vikings is a semifinal contest at Wood Creek, which took care of Christian Brothers 50-14 at home on Friday.

Walter John Leinberger
Rank: Deputy Sheriff
Department: Yolo County Sheriff’s Office
End of Watch: November 18, 1943
Cause: Gunfire
Age: 53
Years of Service: 2
Description: On November 18, 1943, Deputy Sheriff Walter J. Leinberger, a popular deputy in the Broderick area (now known as West Sacramento) was shot to death outside a Bryte cabin where he had gone to arrest a man for burglary.
Deputy Leinberger, accompanied by his wife Zetta, was attempting to arrest 38-year-old Luis “Ironmouth” Balle, when Balle burst out of the cabin firing his pistol, slaying Deputy Leinberger as his wife watched. Mrs. Leinberger, who had never fired a gun before, took her husband’s weapon and fired six times at the gunman. She thought she missed him, as he was able to escape, but it was later discovered that she wounded him twice in the arm.
In less than twenty-four hours, authorities caught up with Balle in a Sacramento alley. During a shoot out with the lawmen, Balle sustained bullet wounds that later proved fatal.
Deputy Leinberger’s son, William, who was eleven-years-old at the time of his father’s death, joined the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office in September, 1956, and retired as a sergeant in 1984.
In November 1991, county law enforcement officials gathered to dedicate the Sheriff’s new $3.5 million minimum-security center to the memory of Walter J. Leinberger.

Yin's McDonald's
VACAVILLE, Calif. (KGO) -- You may not heard of the name CC Yin, but chances are, you've been to one of his restaurants. The Vacaville resident runs a fast-food empire with 30 McDonald's branches in Northern California, 16 in Solano County. Now, in addition to Happy Meals, he's serving up PPE.
Millions of surgical masks, goggles, gowns, face shields and hand sanitizers are a gift from Yin's non-profit to frontline workers in the Bay Area and nationwide in Vacaville, Vallejo, Fairfield, Suisun City, Sacramento and even Seattle and New York.
The 83-year old says his desire to give back stems from his gratitude for the opportunities that America has given him.
Born in China, he fled to Taiwan during World War II and immigrated to the U.S. in the 60's, with $100 in his pocket. Yin worked as an engineer until getting laid off at age 48. That's when he stumbled upon a chance to buy a failing McDonald's in Oakland.
But getting the franchise was a challenge. Yin says, "McDonald's didn't want me because I was not qualified. I was not good at speaking English. And so the court says 'McDonald's, you cannot judge the immigrant as your standard. The guy might be good for you. So give him a chance and tell me he's no good.'"
But as it turns out, he was good. A year later, Yin turned that branch profitable for the first time. And more McDonald's followed.
The entrepreneur says the key to success was and still is, working with local organizations and supporting the community. Last year, when Yin's Vallejo branch had a grand re-opening, he donated to the local Humane Society. Vallejo Mayor Bob Sampayan was at the ribbon cutting.
"He's provided employment for our local youth, scholarships through his foundation for college-bound seniors, and he's just been nothing but generous to our community in times of need, " Sampayan said.
The community is often invited to Yin's thriving Yin Ranch in Vacaville. It's his home, but it's also a conference center, a venue for weddings, Lunar New Year and an amusement park complete with a McDonald's racetrack.
Here, Yin often hosts events for his non-partisan APAPA organization, Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs. With 30 chapters across the country, its mission is to increase Asian American civic engagement and political leadership. '
California State Treasurer says APAPA's support has been instrumental "for being leaders in our community and giving folks like me the opportunity to network, to be educated and to grow as leaders."
Yin may have written his own rags to riches story through the Golden Arches, but lives by his golden rule. "America taught me how to give back, how to work with community. Everybody should step up, everybody should share, good or bad."

Turkeys for Vets
Fairfield Subaru donates 220 turkeys to Travis Air Force Base Families.
[ Fairfield, CA, November 14 ] - This year Fairfield Subaru worked with Travis Air Force Base Military and Family Readiness Center and happily donated 220 turkeys to the veterans and families of Travis Air Force Base in appreciation for everything our veterans have done for our community over the years. The TAFB Military and Family Readiness Center has several programs to assist veterans such as the Relocation Assistance Program, which puts veterans in touch with resources for moving, or their Military and Family Life Counseling Program which delivers short-term, situational, problem-solving, non-medical counseling services to all branches of the military and their families. It is through programs like these that we truly see the love and kindness in our community. Fairfield Subaru contributes in many ways throughout the year by sponsoring animal shelters, schools, and hospitals as well. In doing such community outreach efforts, we hope to set an example for the rest of our community and spread some holiday love!
