Pande(mic)monium breaks out Residents tell Solano supervisors to fight against ‘evil’ governor

Todd R. Hansen

covid-19

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County supervisors on Tuesday were told – loudly – to fight back against Gov. Gavin Newson’s Covid-19 policies, a system that by next Tuesday could mean some businesses will have to close again. And while Supervisor Jim Spering said he would never tell a business owner who has a state-issued license to ignore a state order to close, he also said some businesses may not have any choice. “I would tell businesses that if the state orders you to shut down again, and you

will go out of business (if you do), stay open and force the state to close you,” Spering said to a roar of support. If local businesses are ordered to close, or to reduce their customer capacities, it will be because the state determined Solano County’s Covid-19 case rate has regressed back into the purple tier – a near certainty after 61 new cases were reported Tuesday. That is about twice as high as the average daily threshold – 30.7 – needed to remain in the less-restrictive red tier.

The total number of cases in the county now rests at 7,445, the county reported. It also will mean the state was not persuaded by the county’s efforts to show that the recent surge was a temporary glitch due to a handful of specific events, such as a funeral that attracted 300 people and a wedding that had nearly three dozen guests. Moreover, Dr. Bela Matyas, the public health officer, said those individuals who went to those events did not wear face coverings, nor made any effort to distance themselves from others. Matyas said those events alone could result in case numbers that skew the

county’s rate, which has been firmly in the red tier just three weeks ago. He repeated that businesses are not causing the number surge, and said the blame is solely the responsibility of residents’ behavior. The final order, he said, comes from the state and not the county. But a number of area residents once again expressed their displeasure with the supervisors’ unwillingness to stand up to the governor, who was called a dictator, a tyrant and evil.

Elections office fields surge of pre-Election Day ballots Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Solano County had received more than 83,000 mail-in ballots and nearly 900 early in-person voters had cast their election choices as of the end of Friday. The total of early ballots grew Monday. John Gardner, the assistant registrar of voters, said the 83,109 mail-in ballots as of Friday were about 2.5 times more than were received at the same time in 2016. “So in 2016, at this time, we had 30,000,” Gardner said.

The number of mail-in ballots received after the close of business Monday was 89,079. In-person voting numbers were not available. Those individuals also are using drop-off sites more than in the past. Gardner said of the total received, about 25,000 came through the drop-off sites. “In a normal election, we might get 5,000,” Gardner said. The 889 early in-person voters as of Friday are tracking similarly to four years ago when there were about 1,600 early voters altogether. See Ballots, Page A8

SANTA ANA — Ash swirled, and the stench of smoke hung in the air Tuesday as a light haze settled over southern Orange County. Cars lined Glenn Ranch Road as motorists paused to watch smoke billowing from a cluster of hills in the direction of Silverado Canyon Road. At least two firefighting planes circled the area. A firetruck blared its siren down the hill. It had been barely 24 hours since a pair of wind-driven wildfires ignited and encroaching flames forced 100,000 residents to flee their homes. The first, the Silverado fire, broke out shortly after 6:45 a.m. PDT Monday in the brush country around Santiago Canyon and Silverado Canyon roads. By 2 p.m. Tuesday, firefighters had achieved 5% containment on the blaze, which had burned through more than 12,000 acres – sparing structures but injuring five firefighters, including two who were critically burned. The firefighters, ages 26 and 31, were placed on ventilators after suffering second- and third-degree burns over half their bodies. They “remain in critical condition, fighting for their lives, with their families by their sides,” Orange County Fire Authority Chief Brian Fennessy said Tuesday. Fennessy said the firefighters’ families had received an outpouring of support, including notes, emails and texts from all over the country, but it was “tough for any firefighter – See Fires, Page A8

Election has many Americans feeling high anxiety Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Four months ago, as protesters marched through the city demanding justice for George Floyd, Vena Petty was standing at a market in Burbank when she spotted an older white man glaring at her. “It’s all your fault!” he hissed, adding an expletive. Petty – who is Hawaiian, Black and Chinese – was

standing quietly by herself at the time, so she’s confident he targeted her as a woman of color. She tucked the memory away, but it resurfaced after President Donald Trump during a debate told the Proud Boys, a farright hate group, to “stand back, and stand by,” and again two weeks later, when Sen. Lindsey Graham made a comment, which he later

said was sarcastic, about “the good old days of segregation.” By then, Petty was convinced. That afternoon, the 56-year-old, who was laid off from her temporary job at a film studio in March, visited Redstone Firearms in Burbank, determined to start the process of buying her first gun – something small, she said, to keep in her home. She hoped she would

remembering the day my former editor (and future husband) broke into a sweat and told me he’d been carrying a torch for me for a while and thought I ought to give him a chance. And as a woman, and an American, I remember this: Born in 1894, my grandmother, like other American women, was denied the right to vote until passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. From that year forward, she voted in every presidential election until she died in 1972. On Election Day, I would watch her get all done up in her best dress, hat and gloves, and costume jewelry. Granddad would put on his preaching suit and a red, white and blue tie. Then they’d walk arm in arm into the courthouse to vote. I wish you could’ve seen them. Once, I heard a neighbor

lady try to tell my grandmother why she hadn’t bothered to vote. “I figure,” said the woman, “one vote don’t matter much.” Grandmother replied, “Well, my vote matters plenty to me.” I became eligible to vote for the first time six months after she died. I didn’t dress up, but I carried my 10-month-old son on my hip. When we stepped into the voting booth, I felt sure my grandmother was there with us. Since then, I’ve voted in every presidential election including, Lord willing, this year’s. And I want to assure you that my vote always matters plenty, to me and my grandmother. Final question: How much does your vote matter to you? Sharon Randall can be reached at P.O. Box 922, Carmel Valley, CA 93924, or on her website: www.sharonrandall.com.

Solano County moves forward with Phase 2 of fire cleanup Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday continued the local emergency due to the LNU Lightning Complex Fire and took three other steps to move the recovery efforts forward. The board affirmed a previously approved Public Health order and adopted an urgency ordinance that will allow property owners to place temporary emergency dwellings on-site as they look to rebuild. Since most of the properties have not been cleared of all fire debris – and the second phase of debris cleanup is still progressing – there are restrictions, regulations and health-related standards that must be followed. Residents also were urged not to disturb the debris piles that were created with the first

phase of the cleanup. Property owners can opt to use private, certified contractors for the second phase of the debris cleanup. To date, the county has received 121 workplans for review, 100 of which have been approved. As many as four properties have completed all the work. Fifty-six property owners have opted to let the state contractors do the work, leaving between 170 and 180 properties undecided. The board was told 93 properties were exempt. The board also was told about erosion control efforts, primarily designed to protect the county watersheds from runoff when the rains finally do come. Outreach to educate the residents also will continue. The county also will likely look at the possibility of returning to an old-fashioned siren system to alert area res-

idents of a fire or other natural disaster. The unusual and ferocious behavior of this wildfire – described as a firestorm – exposed some holes in the alert system, including cell towers being burned down before alerts could even be sent out. Solano County Office of Emergency Services officials still urged residents to sign up for Alert Solano for a host of other uses, including notification of planned power shutoffs. The LNU Lightning Complex Fire started early Aug. 17 in Napa County and ultimately surrounded Lake Berryessa. The Hennessey Fire, the largest fire of the LNU complex that ultimately scorched portions of six counties, is the fire that burned into Solano County late Aug. 18 and early Aug. 19. Six people died as a result of the fire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports. Five people

were injured, including one first responder. A total of 309 single-family homes were destroyed by the fire in rural Solano County. A total of 1,491 structures were destroyed across the larger fire complex. Hennessey, eight fires that sparked in Napa County and quickly merged into one megafire, also burned across portions of Yolo, Lake and Colusa counties, charring nearly 477.58 square miles (305,651acres)–65.62square miles (42,000 acres) in Solano County. The larger fire complex includes two smaller fires in Sonoma County and charred more than 567.53 square miles (363,220 acres). The fire burned until Oct. 2. The complex fire until this week was the fourthlargest fire in the state’s modern history, dating back to 1932. It now ranks fifth on the list.

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved $200,000 to help Habitat for Humanity build three low-income family homes in Fairfield. The funds will come from the Deep Investments category of the Community Investment Fund. The move addresses one of the county’s top priorities of adding to affordable housing stock. Habitat will leverage other funds for the project with the intent to buy property in Fairfield from the city. The county’s commitment includes $200,000 in each of the next two years for affordable housing projects as well. Those have not been determined. Super visors Skip Thomson and Jim Spering wanted to make sure that other groups have an opportunity to apply for those funds. Their issue was with the fairness of the process, not with Habitat for Humanity. Spering specifically noted that the money could be used for units within an existing affordable housing project, or to provide housing needs for those aging out of foster care – a topic that came up earlier in the meeting. The families who buy the homes must live there for at least a certain number of years, and if the house is ever sold, it must stay in the program. In other action, the

board: n Recognized Roxanne Martin, Mental Health clinical supervisor, upon her retirement from Health and Social Services, Behavioral Health Division, after more than 18 years with Solano County. n Recognized Debby Brook, with the Department of Veteran Services, as “Employee of the Month” for November. n Recognized Yolanda D.

High winds alert fire agencies to possible ‘big one’ in Suisun City Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — A vegetation fire Monday off Petersen Road in Suisun City scrambled agencies from all over Solano County – including a fiveengine strike team that was assembled under the red-flag warning just in case of “the big one.” The first Suisun City fire engine arrived at the scene at 2:01 p.m. – four minutes after the initial call – to find that the high winds and dry conditions had already whipped up a 5-acre blaze east

of Walter Road. That resulted in the second of four alarms being sounded for what became an event in which every city department in the county responded as well as many of the rural districts and Travis Air Force Base, Suisun City Fire Chief Justin Vincent said. The fire quickly ran toward Highway 12, the heavy smoke causing low visibility that resulted in one minor, noninjury vehicle accident. Eight other cars and a big rig had to be piloted out of the area by the California

Highway Patrol. The highway was closed for about 1 hour, 30 minutes, Vincent said. The fire did jump the highway and ignited the marsh area, making the ground fight difficult. A helicopter was called in from Contra Costa County for water drops to that area. fire burned The nearly half a square mile (300 acres). No structures were threatened, Vincent said. The cause is under investigation, but Vincent said PG&E equipment and a homeless-related incident have been ruled out.

The stand-by strike team is something that was initiated a couple of years ago, Vincent said. The state pays the cost for the county to assemble a group from various departments that can quickly be deployed if a fire cannot be brought under control or breaks containment. The command center included personnel from the Suisun City fire and police departments as well as the Suisun Fire Protection District since the fire did burn into its jurisdiction. There were no injuries reported.

letters to the editor

President Trump doesn’t feel empathy President Donald Trump is incapable of empathy. Historian John Meacham put it well when he said in a republic, empathy is essential. A core element of our nation is that we see our fates linked. Trump has a level of self-reverence and self-involvement that is disqualifying. There is a deficit of dignity, decency and empathy. In Trump’s mind is a tape that replays, over and over, all day telling him, “the world is unfair to me. Any criticism of me is off base. Everyone else is corrupt or obtuse. The American people don’t understand me. They just don’t realize my greatness, or everything I have done for them.” The way I see it, for Trump, it is all about Trump. Over the past four years, he has repeatedly shown us he is incapable of empathy. Trump is constantly focused on himself and himself alone and this does disqualify him for the job as president of the United States. I pray the majority of the American people will vote Biden/Harris so that we can keep our hard-fought-for and cherished democracy. Please exercise your American right and vote. Vote early if at all possible. Karla Nitchmann Suisun City

Gaut for Fairfield-Suisun schools trustee seat As a resident of Suisun City for the past five years and a grandparent of two grandsons who attend elementary school within the FairfieldSuisun School District, I highly recommend Joan Gaut for trustee of the governing board for the district. I have known Joan for over 12 years as a fellow educator and grandparent of two of her students. You will not find a harder working trustee. Joan is always prepared for board meetings by doing the necessary research and reviews relevant and assigned materials. She believes in making the best decisions based on accurate information, input from the various constituencies, and in the best interests of students and their families and district employees. This includes making decisions to keep students, their families and employees safe during this pandemic. To that end, she brings her prior nursing and teaching backgrounds to her work as a board member. As a grandparent, I have been dismayed by the lack of music education in the elementary and middle schools. Music and the arts truly help to develop the “whole child” and much research indicates these subjects help to improve student learning. Both of my grandsons have missed having music as part of their school experience. Joan Gaut is committed to bringing music education back to the schools in this district. Improving and making vocational education more available to students who want this or show good aptitude for it is another strong interest of Joan’s. She believes making a range of educational opportunities available

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

he army of King Pyrrhus of Epirus battled the Roman Republic at the Battle of Asculum in 279 BC. The fighting was a fierce hand-to-hand battle of spears versus swords, grapnel hooks and Pyrrhus’ dreaded battle elephants. King Pyrrhus’ army, in defeating the Romans, suffered 3,000 casualties to 6,000 casualties on the Roman side. It was reported King Pyrrhus told an aide that one more victory like this would be his undoing. Though they won the battle, they had no means to replenish their lost troops and dead commanders. Meanwhile, the Roman Republic quickly replenished their losses. This is where we get the phrase pyrrhic victory, a victory that turns out to be a loss. This is what we witnessed Monday when a hypocritical, morally bankrupt Republican Party rammed Justice Amy Kelvin Wade Coney Barrett through a sham nomination and cemented her as the sixth conservative justice on the nine-member U.S. Supreme Court. That sound you heard was the bonds of affection between Americans breaking and the better angels of our natures giving way to steely resolve. America is about to enter a new phase unlike anything we’ve seen before. As the Trump administration surrendered to Covid-19 over the weekend and the president continues to lie and hold superspreader events across the country, poll after poll project Donald Trump will be a one-term president. Of course, no one knows what will happen and Trump could still win. But if Joe Biden crushes Trump and a blue tsunami sweeps the Democrats into possession of both houses of Congress, America will change for the better. Finally. Through blocking President Barack Obama’s nominees, stealing the Merrick Garland Supreme Court seat and hypocritically installing Barrett to the court, it is Republicans who have been packing the courts. But with a new Democratic government, there are remedies available to right the wrongs of an overzealous Republican Party. The expansion of the Supreme Court will most likely happen. But since all lower courts are congressional creations, not constitutional entities like the Supreme Court, a new Congress could simply create new courts with new justices to fill them. A new Congress could limit the jurisdiction of current courts or abolish them altogether. Congress can also go a long way to making our government more representative by tackling gerrymandering, the artificial line drawing that keeps Republicans in power even when Americans back Democrats in greater numbers. Congress can also do everything in its power to make it easier for Americans to vote. The Republican Party has given up trying to win political arguments. By purging voter rolls, killing polling places, sabotaging the postal service, implementing voter ID laws and trying to use conservative courts to suppress votes, the GOP electoral strategy is simple: Cheat. I’ve written about Washington, D.C. being welcomed as the 51st state, further entrenching Democratic numbers. Puerto Rico will hold a referendum Nov. 3 on statehood. A Democratic Congress may add two new states to the union. The Republican Party is no longer the party of Lincoln. It’s a supine Trumpist party with no stomach for bipartisanship. To be fair, it was that way before Trump’s election. There have been opportunities to pull back from the brink. After blocking Obama’s judicial appointments, installing hundreds of conservative judges and stealing the Garland seat, Republicans could’ve let the people decide on Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat, like they preached to us after the death of Antonin Scalia. There was room to try to at least start some kind of reconciliation. But they chose what could turn out to be a pyrrhic victory. By kowtowing to Trump, trying to suppress votes, trampling norms and traditions, ignoring corruption and parading their hypocrisy, they’ve won the battle but may soon lose the war. We the people are about to replenish our forces, renew our republic and right our country. Be sure to vote.

for students and their families is important. Students placed in the programs that interest them are more engaged learners and student citizens. I most enthusiastically endorse Joan Gaut for trustee of the FairfieldSuisun School District governing board. Janice ODonnell Suisun City

Anthony Adams a study in loyalty I want to thank Anthony Adams. Appointed to the remainder of Lori Wilson’s City Council term, based completely on Wilson’s goodwill, Adams has faithfully followed, without doubt, objection or questioning, all of Wilson’s actions for Suisun City. Where do you find that kind of obedience? Not once disagreeing with the financially treacherous path that the mayor has set for Suisun City, Adams viciously defends her against all detractors and those who disagree. He owes her his political career; unquestioning loyalty, in the face of financial ruin, should be celebrated. George Burket Suisun City

One such challenge is homelessness, which is as relevant of an issue as ever. According to a recent survey, there are 1,151 homeless people in Solano County, with roughly onethird of them in the city of Fairfield. The City Council has been proactive in addressing this issue and the total number of homeless is less than in 2017 and to continue this downward trend the city and county need to work together. Working on the root problems that cause homelessness and putting preventive measures in place before individuals become homeless is why I am supporting the re-election of Rick Vaccaro to the Fairfield City Council. The reopening of the old Mission Solano, now Shelter Inc., has given homeless people hope and a second chance to get back on their feet and Rick played a key role with the county to reopen this important facility. He also has worked hard to establish a partnership between Solano County and the cities that will more effectively connect the homeless with the services they need to get back on their feet and off the street. If you want someone on the council who will continue to take this issue seriously, then vote Rick Vaccaro for 4 District City Council. Supervisor Jim Spering Suisun City

Hamilton right choice for Board of Education

Hamilton ‘prepared’ for trustee office I am writing in support of Dr. Bonnie Hamilton for the Solano County Board of Education, Trustee Area 2. Dr. Hamilton supports the highest quality of life for all and for many years has provided health care and a supportive listening ear to parents helping them grow healthy children. Now, she is eager to transition that wealth of knowledge and experience to enrich the quality of education for all children. Her challenges and experiences in life have led her to understand the importance of education in enhancing the potential of one’s life. Because of circumstances in her early life, she had struggled to succeed in school and wasn’t on an academic track. Her high school senior English teacher encouraged her to apply to college where she found a deep interest in science. A guidance counselor advised her to pursue medicine. Dr. Hamilton is well-prepared and committed to serving the educational needs of all students so they can learn, grow and reach their highest potential. She displays a real passion for making our community a better place and will be a real asset in helping our students becomes successful members of society. Please join me in voting for Bonnie Hamilton for Solano County Board of Education, Area 2.

As a speech pathologist working for many years for the Solano County Office of Education in the Early Start Program and having been a parent of a child with special needs, I know how important it is to have someone like Dr. Bonnie Hamilton on the Solano County Board of Education. As a pediatrician, she has decades of expertise caring for some of our most vulnerable students. She is also the parent of a child with a hearing disability. When her daughter was first diagnosed in kindergarten, Bonnie had a challenging time getting her daughter the services she needed. She did the necessary research and convinced the Solano County Board of Education to provide the appropriate support. In her medical practice, she has helped countless other parents do the same for their children so they could succeed in school. Serving on the Board of Education will be an extension of what she has done throughout her career advocating for the well-being of our children, their families and the community. Please vote for Dr. Bonnie Hamilton for Solano County Board of Education, Trustee Area 2. Our kids deserve it. Margi Stern, B.A, M.S. Vacaville

Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s easier to create a scenario than it is to change it. The best interactions will be partly spontaneous and partly designed. You can’t control other people, but you can powerfully position yourself to maximize your influence. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Making connections is easier with a mutually agreeable proposition, but right now that’s not what’s on the table. You can say yes to a person even though you have to say no to the offer the person is making. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You provide a mirror for others. They feel seen and heard. Your manner of relating is a gift, an emotional balm. Such exchanges are more valuable than most realize. Indeed, they can alleviate suffering. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Relationships, like time, are always moving forward. So don’t be surprised if the thing that worked three months or three years ago will work differently now, or won’t work at all. This is an invitation to get creative. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re ditching the guided tour and striking out on your own. After all, who can tell you what you’re interested in? Not even you, but you’ll know it

Daily Cryptoquotes

I understand everything in life is temporary, and one should just enjoy life’s moments while they’re happening. Is it time for me to eat my own words?— Disheartened Dear Disheartened: We should enjoy life’s moments, but we should not hide our achievements or desires just to make our partner feel secure. It is admirable that he was honest with you about feeling emasculated over your making more money, but he needs to work on that, maybe in therapy or couples counseling. Partners should celebrate each other’s victories and successes and help each other achieve their goals, not make the other feel small so they feel big. He needs to feel big through his own success, not through feeling bigger than you. That issue should be addressed first and foremost. As far as marriage is concerned, you are allowed to change your mind. If marriage is really important to you, then tell him that. You have every right to be married if you want to be. Continue to express yourself openly, kindly and honesty. Always be true to your authentic needs, and never let anyone make you shine a little less bright so he or she feels good.

Today’s birthday Working on relationships looks a lot like working on yourself this year, because that is precisely what it entails. As you keep doing more out of a deep care and respect for yourself, relationships get more rewarding. A stellar professional opportunity opens in December. Early 2021 brings financial restructuring. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 1, 44, 5 and 17.

when you see it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What you give is exceptionally valuable, and yet, as it can go in the extremely high-end places, the price tag reflecting that value isn’t attached. One has to know to know. If they don’t know, they don’t belong in the shop. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Leave yourself room for flexibility. Knowing what you are willing and not willing to do is tricky because it constantly changes depending on who is asking, the convenience of the ask and other variables in the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Some problems need to be approached as you would a garden. You pay attention for a short while – seed, weed, trim – and then you leave it to do what it will until your next visit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Your distinct upbringing is a strength. There may be things about it that you don’t feel the need to share, and yet, you can be sure that you are a stronger person because of all you’ve experienced. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). When the job is over, the problem is solved; the drain is plugged . . . it seems it should be a moment of relief, and yet, there’s a pang instead, representative of an affectionate involvement with trouble. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). When connecting with people you know well, you can predict where the interaction will go. And this is why it’s important to add a variable to the scenario – new location, different sidekicks, odd timing – just to keep it fresh. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Among your goals is one that’s as ambitious as it is undefined. Perhaps the reason you haven’t stated exactly the result you are looking for is that it’s intangible; it’s a feeling or a state of mind.

The original South immediately cashed his two top hearts, learning that he had an unavoidable loser, ruffed his club seven on the board and played a diamond to his queen.

Researcher casts her ballot from space station Tribune Content Agency SAN DIEGOÂ â€”Â Kate Rubins, a UC San Diego graduate who is the midst of her second stint as a researcher aboard theÂ International Space Station, has cast her ballot in the 2020 presidential election. Rubins filled out an electronic ballot and emailed it to Earth onÂ October 22, while floating in zero gravity about 220 miles above the planet,Â NASAÂ said. She posted a tweet that said, simply, â€˜I voted today.â€? Rubins, who is currently the only American in space, was floating near a sign that read, â€œISS voting booth.â€? Rubins told theÂ Associated PressÂ that, â€œItâ€™s critical to participate in

our democracy. We consider it an honor to be able to vote from space.â€? NASAÂ astronauts have had the right and ability to cast ballots from space since 1997, whenÂ David WolfÂ became the first to do it. He was aboard the Russian space station Mir at the time. Rubins arrived at space station onÂ Oct. 17Â for the start of a 6-month mission that will be heavily focused on research. TheÂ NASA astronau earned a bachelorâ€™s degree in molecular biolog y atÂ UCSDÂ in 1999 and a doctorate in cancer biology atÂ StanfordÂ in 2005. During her first mission aboard the outpost, she became the first person to sequence DNA in space.

Fairfield motorcyclist among 3 Saturday fatality reports Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A 57-year-old Fairfield man became the second motorcyclist to die in a four-day period when he drove his bike off Mankas Corner Road on Saturday night. The man was identified as Michael Miller Sr., the Solano County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office reported Monday. The incident occurred at 8:10 p.m. along the 2400 block of Mankas Corner Road. Another motorcyclist, 65-year-old Gregory Coppes, of Dixon, died Wednesday when his Harley-Davidson went into a drainage ditch at the Manuel Campos Parkway exit off westbound Interstate 80. Miller was one of three road-related fatalities

reported Saturday. A bicyclist was struck and killed about 7:15 p.m. near the intersection of Sacramento Street and Wilson Avenue in Vallejo. The Sheriff-Coroner’s Office identified him as Sotero Campos, 30, of Vallejo. The driver in that incident was cooperating with authorities, Vallejo police report. Authorities do not suspect alcohol or speed to be factors in the crash, the Vallejo Police Department reports. A 56-year-old Roseville man was found about 3:50 a.m. unconscious in his vehicle along northbound Interstate 680, south of Parish Road. The man was identified as Nabil Arslan, the CHP reported. “It looks like it was health-related,” CHP Officer Dave Harvey said of Arslan’s death.

In brief

PD offers reward to find driver in hit-and-run FAIRFIELD — Police upped the ante Tuesday in their efforts to catch the person who hit and killed a pedestrian with a vehicle last week and then fled from the scene. Namie Stewart, 81, of Fairfield, was hit shortly before 11 p.m. Thursday on Cement Hill Road near Laurel Creek Park. Stewart was taken to a local hospital but died as a result of her injuries. The Fairfield Police Department is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a hit-and-run driver. Anyone with information about the incident or the driver is asked to call the Police Department’s Traffic Unit and ask to speak with Sgt. Matt Thomas 428-7524.

Free webinar to focus on human trafficking VACAVILLE — The Police Department will host a free webinar on human trafficking awareness from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

The webinar is sponsored by the Police Department along with the Foster Kinship Care Education Program-Solano College and the Solano County Resource Family Association.

Ballots: Election From Page One Most of those are people seeking replacement ballots for a host of reasons. “Be careful with your coffee cup; don’t use your ballot as a coaster,” said Gardner, referring to one of the more common reasons ballots get damaged. Although more than 258,000 mail-in ballots were sent to all registered voters this year, if someone did not receive a ballot, Tuesday marks the last day the Elections Office can mail ballots to voters for the Nov. 3 general election, the county announced. After that, mail-in ballots must be picked up at the Registrar of Voters Office in the government center, 675 Texas St., in Fairfield. The office extended its Saturday hours to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Gardner said the Elections Office does have runners who will deliver a

ballot to people who cannot get out of their homes. Ballots, of course, will still be available at the polling locations on Election Day. Voters who are still not registered by Election Day can visit any polling location for sameday registration, the county announced. An additional 10 curbside ballot drop-off locations will open starting Thursday. For more information, including ballot box and curbside drop-off locations, visit the Registrar of Voters website at www. SolanoCounty.com/Elections and click the “Ballot Drop-Off Sites” and “Curbside Drop-Off Sites” links. Details on voting options, polling locations and key election dates are all available on the Registrar of Voters website, by email at Elections@Solano County.com and by phone at 784-6675.

Residents: Upset with regulations From Page One to on a sign as a “snitch witch” for the perception that she encourages people to snitch on those who are violating the health orders. The board was told that embedded in the laws of this country is the concept that lower authorities, such as a county, have the moral obligation to fight against higher authorities, such as a state, when that higher authority is not acting in the best interests of the people. “Passing the buck is not acceptable,” Richard Robiak said. Others have likened the government’s approach during the Covid-19 pandemic to those that spawned Nazi Germany by restricting and removing personal rights in favor

of the “state’s” control. It also was repeated a number of times, including by Supervisor John Vasquez, that the initial goal of the state policies was to protect hospital capacity. But now that goal has gone far afield. “It seems every week the goal line moves,” Vasquez said. The meeting eventually became more of an issue of board Chairwoman Erin Hannigan trying to maintain some semblance of control and decorum in the face of those who believe the county is failing to protect their rights and would not be silenced by meeting rules. Even reducing the time to speak from 3 minutes to 2 minutes became an issue fought from the back of the room to the dais. Super visor Skip

Thomson admonished the protesters for not wearing face coverings and for ignoring the county’s request to distance themselves. “I disregard your comments because they are illogical and go against the science,” Thomson said.

cially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death. The vast majority of people recover. The World Health Organization reports people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.

Fires From Page One certainly any fire chief – to feel this helpless.” Hours after the Silverado fire ignited, the Blue Ridge fire erupted in Santa Ana Canyon – a notorious wind tunnel said to have given the blustery Santa Anas their name. The flames spread quickly as the fire pushed west toward Yorba Linda, threatening the town’s Hidden Hills community. By 2 p.m. Tuesday, the blaze had surpassed its predecessor, engulfing more than 15,000 acres and damaging at least 10 homes. Firefighters had not been able to achieve any containment on the growing blaze. The two fires spurred multiple evacuation orders and warnings, but the city of Irvine on Tuesday afternoon was beginning to allow some evacuees to return home, as dangerous winds began to subside. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday said California had received a fire management assistance grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that will allow the state to receive 75% reimbursements for firefighting efforts related to the Silverado and Blue Ridge fires. The grant is provided through the president’s Disaster Relief Fund on a cost-share basis. “I want to thank FEMA and our partners at the federal level for their support,” Newsom said. He said 42 fires had ignited across the state in the previous 24 hours, many fueled by fierce winds. He thanked the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, along with local firefighting agencies, for their quick work in suppressing most

An air tanker makes a fire retardant drop behind homes in Chino Hills, Tuesday. of the blazes. “We talk in historic terms,” he said, “and I remind you that six of the top 20 wildfires in our state’s history have occurred in 2020.” More than 4 million acres have burned this year, and wildfires across the state have resulted in at least 30 fatalities, he said. “This is absolutely a large mutual-aid fire, a lot of resources from all over the state,” Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Jason Fairchild said Tuesday, noting that more than 1,700 firefighters are battling the two blazes. “And we have additional resources coming in from farther away.” Facing flames that could threaten multiple homes at once amid the county’s suburban sprawl, firefighters have been relying on their engines’ 500-gallon water tanks instead of connecting to hydrants so the crews aren’t “anchored down,” Fairchild said. If the water supply were to become an issue, many of the engines are outfitted with pumps that would allow them to pull water from homeowners’ pools, he said.

The strong winds fueling the blazes were expected to dissipate Tuesday afternoon, although a red flag warning remained in effect in Orange County until 6 p.m., said Casey Oswant, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego. Despite slowing gusts, she said, people should not “completely relax,” as dryness is still a concern across the region. “Definitely avoid burning if necessary, and if you see a fire, call the authorities,” Oswant said. “The threat is definitely still there, even though the winds are coming down.” Monday’s combination of intense winds and low humidity were considered some of the most dangerous fire weather conditions of the year. The weather service reported gusts of 96 mph in the San Gabriel Mountains just south of Santa Clarita. The winds also carried ash and soot left from the Bobcat fire earlier this month back into the skies, further choking Southern California with bad air. By Tuesday morning, the government’s air quality monitoring agency had reported that South-

ern California had the worst air quality in the nation, with parts of Los Angeles and Orange counties and the city of Corona all hovering in the “unhealthy” range. The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a smoke advisory for Orange County through Tuesday. It also issued a windblown dust and ash advisory in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, warning that hazardous particulate matter from wildfire areas may be spread through the air. The windy conditions spurred Southern California Edison to warn customers in all of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, except for the Antelope Valley, that power could be shut off to lower the chances of fires being sparked by downed power lines. The strong winds hindered firefighting efforts Monday; water-dropping aircraft had to be pulled off the Silverado blaze around 10:30 a.m. The aircraft remained grounded through the afternoon. In Irvine, many parks remained closed.

Anxiety: By voters From Page One cycle has felt abnormally anxiety-inducing for many Americans. “We’re certainly in the middle of a perfect storm,” said Dr. Esther Sternberg, research director at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Humans respond physiologically to stress – we sweat, our hearts race – and those responses, Sternberg said, are essential for our survival. “It gives you the energy to fight or flee.” And, in a sense, that’s precisely what some Americans are now doing. Some voters – those with the means and flexibility to do so – have channeled their preelection stress into finalizing plans to move out of the country depending on who wins in November. Others have ramped up their campaigning efforts and some, like Petty, have spent recent weeks researching the steps behind buying a gun. Thousands of Californians, including many first-time buyers, purchased firearms in 2020 – a spike attributed to fears over the pandemic, but also, in part, to people’s fears of “government collapse,” according to a recent survey conducted by researchers at the University of California, Davis. And the worries are bipartisan. In the days after Kamala Harris was announced as Joe Biden’s running mate, Google searches for the phrase “Move if Biden wins” spiked, and after the first presidential debate, searches jumped for “ Will Biden take away guns.” In a viral video clip produced by the Young Turks, a progressive news outlet with a massive YouTube following, a couple wearing red MAGA hats said that if Biden wins, they plan to move to Panama. If Trump wins, a company executive who lives in L.A. County and asked to be identified only by her first name, Michele, said she plans to move to southern Portugal. She long hoped to retire abroad, but the prospect of a second Trump term sped up her process, she said, adding that part of her feels bad, as if she’s abandoning the U.S. She believes the nation’s checks and balances have begun to erode, and she worries about what could happen in the days after polls close. “I do see a lot of chaos potentially, from both sides,” she said. “I just don’t want to go through four more years of chaos.” And she’s not alone. Erendira Abel, who founded Baja Expat Services, a company that helps Americans with the process of relocating to Mexico, said that while she doesn’t bring up politics with her clients, a few of them, including Maria Denzin, 75, have cited it as one factor in their decision for moving south. Denzin, who worked for Boeing for years, recently rented out her home in Palm Springs.

She and her husband are now building a new place in Rosarito, Mexico, she said, and renting there in the meantime. The main motivation for their move was monetary – their savings will go much further in Mexico – but for Denzin, a self-described “old hippie” who marched Brian van der Brug/Los Angeles Times/TNS for civil rights decades ago, it was also about the Vena Petty visits Redstone Firearms in Burbank to start the process of buying her first firearm, Monday. man in the Oval Office. “If, in fact, Trump 2016.

Vaca residents in new District 2 area call for one of their own to be appointed Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — A petition with what is purported to be the signatures of 538 “District 2 voters as well as other Vacaville residents” has been delivered to the city demanding an in-district resident be appointed to replace Supervisor-elect Mitch Mashburn on the City Council. Vacaville, for the first time, is going to a district-based election, but Districts 2 and 4 are not on the ballot until 2022, leaving Mashburn’s seat an at-large post and therefore his replacement on the council can come from anywhere in the city. The petitioners are demanding Mayor Ron Rowlett select a District 2 resident for City

Council consideration. “If the mayor agrees, Vacaville would have achieved its multi-year phased plan to have a council member from each of Vacaville’s six districts by Jan. 1, 2021, ahead of schedule by two years,” a statement Rowlett Monday released by the petitioners states. The petition effort is headed by Lynn Upchurch of Leisure Town and Nancy Fletcher of Meadowlands. Upchurch said in a phone interview that she and some other petitioners did speak to Rowlett and were not particularly happy with his responses. She said there are too many district-specific issues – such as

Upchurch also said the voters city of Vacaville,” Rowlett said. The mayor also noted that in the area have a long memory and the mayor will face the elec- what the boundaries of the districts are now could change torate in 2022 as well. Rowlett said he had not seen considerably with the new

census numbers. He said even if the person appointed lives in District 2 now, by the time the 2022 election arrives, that person may not even be eligible to run for a full term. The District 2 petition effort was formed in September, the petitioners said in the statement. “We have a very strong preference for someone in District 2,” Upchurch said. Mashburn is replacing Supervisor Skip Thomson as the District 5 representative to the Solano County Board of Supervisors. Thomson did not seek re-election. Mashburn won the seat by 94 votes in the primary election March 3, defeating David Isom by 0.4% of the nearly 23,700 votes cast in the race.

Solano probation planning for influx of state youth offenders Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Youth offenders who had been sent out of Solano County to the state Division of Juvenile Justice facility will soon be staying home. The Solano County Juvenile Detention Center starting July 1 will be housing those state-level offenders as the latest round of criminal justice realignment. “This is a realignment of the state’s responsibility back to the county,” County Administrator Birgitta Corsello said Tuesday, adding staff would be back before the Board of Supervisors for facility, staffing and other needs as the takeover date approaches. The change brings to the county mostly violent offenders who could be housed locally until they are 25 years old depending on how old they were when they committed their offense and the length of sentence.

Solano County, between January 2018 to March 2020, had 23 offenders committed to the state – all of whom are male, and 19 of whom committed what was described as “serious/violent felony offenses.” Twelve of those were for armed robbery and six for assault with a deadly weapon. “There are more unknowns than knowns,” county Chief Probation Officer Chris Hansen told the Board of Supervisors Tuesday. “We know we are going to get the kids.” The shift is the result of a new state law that eliminates the current state juvenile justice department. A new Office of Youth and Community Restoration will be formed to oversee the county plans. Hansen said the first two years of funding – $496,773 in 2021-22 and $1.47 million in 2022-23 – will add to the challenge. He aid he believes the third-year allocation of $$2.44 million will be adequate

to run a “pretty good program.” “The first two years are going to be a little dicey,” Hansen said. “We are building this plane while we are flying it,” he said. Dean Farrah, the superintendent for the county Juvenile Detention Center, said the challenge will be how to adapt the current programs to this new age group. That includes education, job training, substance abuse and general behavioral modifications. The county has had a great deal of success with its cognitive and behavioral training methods on lowering recidivism, but this is a different kind of group of offenders. Supervisor Erin Hannigan said despite the challenges, including the funding, she thinks the offenders will be in a better situation at the Solano County facility than in the state facility. “I’m confident the youth that come back to us, youth who stay with us, are better off,” Hannigan said.

In other action, the board: n Approve a fifth contract amendment with Shaw/Yoder/ Antwih/Schmelzer & Lange Inc. for state lobbying services for calendar year 2021, for a total amount of $158,508, apportioned at $84,888 annually for general, state legislative advocacy up to $37,620 annually for advocacy services relating to the Delta and other water issues and $36,000 annually for supplemental support for state legislative purposes. n Approve a $6.92 million agreement with Peterson Mechanical Inc. of Sonoma for a phased project for the Sheriff Hot Water and Main Jail Shower Repairs Project at 500 Union Ave. in Fairfield using the best value procurement process; and approved an appropriation transfer for $1.34 million from previously approved appropriations for the Main Jail Shower Repair Project to the Sheriff Hot Water Project. n Received a noncom-

petitive allocation award of $92,000 under the Transitional Housing Program to assist young adults, 18 to 25, who were formerly in the foster care or probation systems to find and maintain housing. n Approved participation in the California State Parks, Division of Boating and Waterways 2020/21 grant cycle; approved an appropriation transfer of $46,563 in unanticipated revenue from the Boating Safety and Enforcement Equipment grant and related appropriations to purchase boating safety equipment. n Affirmed the District Attorney’s Office acceptance of a $257,695 California Office of Emergency Services grant for the county Victim Services Program in Victim of Crimes Act funding for 2021; and approved an appropriation transfer of $145,341 from CalOES and increased expenditures by $145,341.

NFL Rankings: Unbeaten Steelers take over as new No. 1; Seahawks sink B2 Wednesday, October 28, 2020 SECTION B Paul Farmer . Sports Editor . 427.6926

49ers’ banged-up O vs. Seahawks’ historically bad D Tribune ContentAgency The 49ers will play at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field on Sunday, but this trip will be far different from their visits in recent years. For starters, there will be no fans at the normally raucous stadium. In addition, the tenants are playing no defense. The Seahawks’ 5-1 start fueled by MVP candidate quarterback Russell Wilson has obscured the fact that Seattle’s

defense appears to be historically awful. The Seahawks, who went to two Super Bowls led by their Legion of Boom defense in the 2010s, have opened this decade with a Legion of Boo unit. Seattle, which is allowing a league-worst 479.2 yards per game, is on pace to surrender 7,667 yards, which would shatter the NFL record held by the 2012 Saints (7,042). The Seahawks are also on pace to allow 483 first downs, which would dwarf

the league record held by the 2018 Chiefs (419). One more jaw-dropper: Seattle will allow 5,981 passing yards if they keep this up, which would obliterate the NFL record held by the 2011 Packers (4,796). So perhaps the 49ers’ weapons-starved offense, which won’t have wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) or running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Jeff Wilson (ankle), could become the fourth team to

gain 500-plus yards against the Seahawks this season. The 49ers (4-3) won the NFC West title in their last trip to Seattle. And despite their defensive def ic ienc ie s , the Seahawks currently lead the division because their Wilson-led offense is on pace to score 541 points, which would rank eighth in NFL history. Seattle’s defensive ineptitude was finally a culprit in a loss Sunday when the Seahawks fell 37-34 in overtime at

Arizona. The Cardinals rallied from a 10-point deficit with less than seven minutes left in regulation and gained 519 yards. The Seahawks not only didn’t have a sack, they didn’t manage a quarterback hit against Kyler Murray, who threw 48 passes. “ We’re nowhere (near) where we want to be,” Seahawks inside linebacker Bobby Wagner told Seattle reporters after the game. “We have to play better. We have to execute

the plays better. We have to be more consistent. We have to find ways to get off the field. We can’t put the offense in the situations that we put them in. We can’t make the penalties that we had to extend drives.” Anything else? Well, yes. On Monday, defensiveminded head coach Pete Carroll highlighted their lack of pass-rush pressure. The Seahawks don’t have a player with more than See 49ers, Page B2

The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrate a 3-1 series-clinching win against the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6 of the World

Series at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Tuesday. It’s the first World Series title for the Dodgers in 32 years.

Snell alone. But no one will ever know. In any case, few who watched this series could walk away with any other conclusion that the better team prevailed in the end – an outcome that itself provided a measure of validation for the legitimacy of the 60-game regular season and 16-team postseason, both of which were dominated by the Dodgers. They were the best team, on paper, on the crisp February day when pitchers and catchers first reported. They were best team on March 12, when the pandemic forced the cancellation of the remainder of spring training, and the best team in April, May and June, as a labor battle held the regular season hostage. They were the best team

Dodgers top Rays to capture 1st World Series title since 1988 THE WASHINGTON POST

A R L I NGTON, Texas — Validation came at 10:37 p.m. Central time, wearing the classic home whites of the Los Angeles Dodgers and streaming out of the first base dugout for a dogpile near the pitcher’s mound of Globe Life Field. The World Series was over. The Dodgers’ tortuous, 32-year wait for another championship was over. The 2020 baseball season, bent and misshapen by a global pandemic, was over. And validation had arrived to drape itself on each and every one of them. The line for validation was long and illustrious in the wake of the Dodgers’ 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6 of the 116th World Series, and

all of them - the players, the manager, the brain trust, the franchise and the sport itself – would get their turn. But first, validation’s opposite number needed to be heard. Because the Dodgers’ clinching win was made possible by nothing so much as the stunning and highly questionable pitching move the Rays made in the bottom of the sixth inning, when they pulled ace Blake Snell from a magnificent performance – a move that backfired immediately when the next two Dodgers hitters, Mookie Betts and Corey Seager, gave Los Angeles the lead. Maybe the Dodgers would have won anyway if the Rays – who make no apologies for their analytic bent and data-driven decision-making – had left

in July, when the season finally started up, and in August and September as it careened toward the postseason. The Dodgers’ victory Tuesday night gave future Hall of Fame lefty Clayton Kershaw the title that forever cements his legacy, especially after he won Games 1 and 5 to help make it happen. It gave embattled Manager Dave Roberts the championship that had escaped him in the 2017 and 2018 World Series. It gave Betts, the Dodgers’ big offseason acquisition, a second title to go with the one he won for Boston - over the Dodgers - two years ago. And it brought validation, too, for president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, who See Dodgers, Page B10

Former Giants coach Tim Flannery fighting staph infection in SD hospital Tribune Content Agency Former Giants third-base coach Tim Flannery has improved after nine days in a San Diego hospital with a stubborn staph infection, his family said in a statement Tuesday. “He is responding well to antibiotics and even requested his guitar be brought to him,” the statement said. The family did not say how long the 63-year-old Flannery, a musician and activist, might stay in the hospital. He underwent tests Monday to try to pin down the source of the infection. His band, Tim Flannery and the Lunatic Fringe, has provided updates on his health on its Facebook page. The updates, which asked for prayers, concerned fans

of the popular former ballplayer and coach, who manned the thirdbase box under good friend Bruce Bochy through all three Giants World Series titles. In a Sunday update, the band said: “We’d like a couple of his numbers to show improvement before we relax. But in true Flannery style he’s responding well & showing some really positive shifts... and we’re still shooting for breaking him out of there asap so he can get back to his grandbabies & the ranch.” Monday night’s post said blood cultures showed no new growth of the infection, which was responding to treatment. “There are still some places to be concerned but they are holding

off on more tests/scans to let this round of antibiotics do its thing. (Wife) Donna dropped his guitar off for him today so you know he is already feeling better and needing his music.” The family directed fans to the Facebook page for updates on Flannery’s progress. Since retiring from baseball in 2014, Flannery has devoted time to his band and raising money for the Love Harder Project, which is devoted to curbing violence and bullying. The project grew out of fundraising for Bryan Stow, the Giants fan who sustained lifethreatening injuries and was permanently disabled after he was attacked and beaten in a Dodger Stadium parking lot in 2011.

li and Frazier. Chris and Martina. Bird and Magic. Brady and Belichick. This is getting fun from afar, isn’t it? It’s easy to say what’s most fun, too. It’s not Tom Brady, at 43, winning in Tampa Bay, as Benjamin-Buttonadmirable as that is. It’s Bill Belichick losing in New England. And losing. And losing yet again for a third straight Sunday. The only missing element from the Patriots’ wonderful downfall is the TV networks’ shots of owner Bob Kraft. For two decades we were subjected to his high-fives. What, we’re not allowed to see him numb? Rome wasn’t built in a day, but proof it burned in one keeps coming every Sunday for the Patriots. That March day Brady left town ended the dynasty. Brady’s replacement, Cam Newton, was benched in Sunday’s 33-6 loss to San Francisco. That was the biggest margin in a home Patriots loss since Bill Belichick arrived in 2000. They have a three-game losing streak for the first time since 2002. Want some

ANALYSIS more feel-good news? They won’t win a game the rest of the year. I’m exaggerating. They play the New York Jets twice. So they’re bound to win one. Hey, we kid because we finally can. There are years of pent-up lines and jealousy, but none tell the story like these lines: Brady: 18 touchdowns, four interceptions. Patriots quarterbacks: Three touchdowns, 11 interceptions. That’s how it’s playing out this year. We tried to warn them, too, didn’t we? We kept warning them, too, all these years. Even as we aged and lost hair or hearing (better to ignore the bleating about, “ The Patriots Way” and “Trust in Bill”), we told them what was coming. Finally, we’re right. We told them to enjoy the fun while it lasted (and lasted). We warned them what happened when Dolphins legend Dan Marino left the huddle for good. Pain. Misery.

Unbeaten Steelers take over as new No. 1; Seahawks sink Mark Maske

THE WASHINGTON POST

Each week during the NFL season, The Post’s Mark Maske ranks the 32 teams. This week, there’s a new No. 1 as the Steelers ascend to the top spot after the Seahawks’ overtime loss to the Cardinals. The Steelers are the league’s final unbeaten team and had a solid win at Tennessee, allowing them to leapfrog the No. 2 Chiefs. The Bucs and Packers climb into the top five. The Cardinals soar to sixth, while the Seahawks and Titans drop to the lower half of the top 10. 1. PITTSBURGH STEELERS (6-0) Last week’s rank: 3 The Steelers looked fantastic in the first half Sunday in Nashville and then just held off the previously unbeaten Titans in the second half. Pittsburgh is the NFL’s only remaining undefeated team and is worthy of the No. 1 spot. The Steelers have emerged as the primary threat to the Chiefs, ahead of the Ravens and Titans, in the AFC. 2. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (6-1) Last week’s rank: 2 Le’Veon Bell was a contributor in his Chiefs debut in Sunday’s lopsided triumph at snowy Denver. The rich get richer. Or in this case, the richest get richest-er. 3. BALTIMORE RAVENS (5-1) Last week’s rank: 5 The Ravens return from their bye for Sunday’s showdown with the Steelers in Baltimore. The juggling of the NFL schedule worked in the Ravens’ favor for this game, with them given an extra week to rest and prepare while the Steelers are coming off a tough win at Tennessee. 4. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (5-2) Last week’s rank: 7 Coach Bruce Arians told Peter King of the Antonio Brown deal: “I know everybody wants to say Tom Brady lobbied us to get this done. Tom Brady lobbied me back in, gosh, June, July, August. I said no. It didn’t fit then. Now, we’re in the hunt.” So Brady eventually did get his way on Brown after Arians reconsidered his rejection. Quibbling over the phrasing and timeline doesn’t change that. 5. GREEN BAY PACKERS (5-1) Last week’s rank: 8 Aaron Rodgers rebounded from the shaky outing in Tampa with a fourTD, no-interception gem in Sunday’s win at Houston. Did anyone expect anything different? WR Davante Adams had a huge game, and the Packers won easily even without RB Aaron Jones and left tackle David Bakhtiari. 6. ARIZONA CARDINALS (5-2) Last week’s rank: 11 The Cardinals absolutely are for real. Coach Kliff Kingsbury’s offense works in the NFL and second-year QB Kyler Murray is a star. Things are rugged in the NFC West, but Arizona is a factor. 7. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (5-1) Last week’s rank: 1 The defense simply isn’t getting it done, and QB Russell Wilson ran out of miracles in the late stages of the OT loss to the Cardinals. Still, WR

Tyler Lockett’s performance was remarkable, and the enduring memory of the game will be DK Metcalf’s pursuit and tackle of the Cardinals’ Budda Baker on his 90-yard interception return. It was an all-timegreat NFL chase-down. 8. TENNESSEE TITANS (5-1) Last week’s rank: 4 The Titans simply took too long to get things moving Sunday against the Steelers and ran out of time. This team remains capable of beating anyone in the NFL. 9. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (4-2) Last week’s rank: 10 The Colts return from their bye to play Sunday at Detroit. They’d better beat the Lions because the November schedule toughens considerably: home vs. the Ravens, at Tennessee, home vs. the Packers, home vs. the Titans. 10. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (4-3) Last week’s rank: 12 Jimmy Garoppolo went back to Foxborough and beat the Patriots. That had to be satisfying on a personal level, even if it is a currently diminished version of the Patriots. 11. LOS ANGELES RAMS (5-2) Last week’s rank: 13 The defense was really good Monday night against Nick Foles and the Bears, and punter Johnny Hekker was fantastic with five punts dropped inside the 20-yard line. It’s odd to ask about a Sean McVay-coached team: Is the offense good enough? 12. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (4-2) Last week’s rank: 14 From the ankle injury to the disciplinary matter to the hamstring injury, the Saints just can’t seem to get WR Michael Thomas back on the field. Without him, they’re simply not an upper-tier team in the NFC. 13. BUFFALO BILLS (5-2) Last week’s rank: 15 The Bills managed to win Sunday in the Meadowlands but the manner in which they did it, with six FGs, is about as unsatisfying as it gets. Failing to get even a single TD against the Jets is a sign that the recent regression is ongoing. 14. CLEVELAND BROWNS (5-2) Last week’s rank: 16 The season-ending torn ACL suffered by WR Odell Beckham Jr. deprives the NFL of one its star players. But how much it really hurts the Cleveland offense remains to be seen. QB Baker Mayfield actually seemed to be better without Beckham on the field. Perhaps Mayfield was no longer occupied with forcing throws to Beckham to get him his desired number of opportunities. 15. CHICAGO BEARS (5-2) Last week’s rank: 6 The only Bears touchdown in Monday night’s loss to the Rams in L.A. was scored by the defense. Coach Matt Nagy has already made a QB switch from Mitchell Trubisky to Nick Foles. There’s probably no going back now. It’s going to be tough for Nagy to fix this offense. 16. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (3-3) Last week’s rank: 9 The Raiders have no justification to be upset that Sunday’s game wasn’t pushed back a day or two. Their offensive linemen came out of isolation and played. And if the Raiders indeed violated coronavirus protocols, as the NFL seems to suspect, the situation was of the team’s own doing.

17. DETROIT LIONS (3-3) Last week’s rank: 21 The Lions benefited from the Falcons’ clock-management gaffe and got back to .500 with the improbable victory in Atlanta. Who knows, maybe the Lions’ luck is turning around. 18. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (2-4) Last week’s rank: 25 Justin Herbert continues to impress, and he finally got a victory as an NFL starting QB. Facing the Jaguars didn’t exactly hurt. 19. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (2-4-1) Last week’s rank: 26 The finest team in all the NFC East? If that’s not condemning with faint praise, what is? If only the Eagles could get their best players healthy, they might be a legitimate team. But that has been elusive and it’s a pretty big “if” at this point. 20. MIAMI DOLPHINS (3-3) Last week’s rank: 19 The Tua Tagovailoa era begins Sunday against the Rams. The QB switch from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Tagovailoa cannot be evaluated on one game, one month or even one season. This is about letting Tagovailoa play, learn and make his mistakes, with an eye toward what the Dolphins hope will be a decade or more of ultimate success. 21. CAROLINA PANTHERS (3-4) Last week’s rank: 20 The three-game winning streak has been followed by consecutive losses to the Bears and Saints. That’s okay. If the Panthers can hang around the NFC wild-card race and remain in the running to be .500 or above, that’s more than anyone should have expected from them this season. 22. DENVER BRONCOS (2-4) Last week’s rank: 17 The Broncos actually kept Patrick Mahomes mostly in check in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. But allowing a touchdown on an interception return and a touchdown on a kickoff return in the same quarter is not exactly a formula for beating a defending Super Bowl champion. QB Drew Lock needs to be better. 23. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (2-4) Last week’s rank: 18 It’s impossible to say whether Tom Brady or Bill Belichick was more responsible for the Patriots’ success during their dynastic run together. But it certainly can be said that Brady is faring better in Tampa without Belichick right now than Belichick is doing in New England without Brady. 24. WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (2-5) Last week’s rank: 30 LB Jon Bostic won’t be suspended by the NFL for his hit Sunday on Cowboys QB Andy Dalton. That doesn’t change the fact that it was an egregious illegal hit worthy of the ejection that Bostic received and exactly the type of play that the league is trying to get out of the sport. 25. DALLAS COWBOYS (2-5) Last week’s rank: 22 Rookie Ben DiNucci could be the starter at QB after the concussion suffered by Andy Dalton, who was filling in for Dak Prescott. It just keeps getting worse. How much is on Mike McCarthy? So much for that talk about him updating his coaching methods during his time away. 26. ATLANTA FALCONS (1-6) Last week’s rank: 23 Todd Gurley accidentally scored

49ers: Face Russell Wilson From Page B1 two sacks, and with nine sacks overall they’re tied for 26th in the NFL. “We have to make it more difficult on the quarterback by harassing him,” Carroll said. “The whole key is that guy throwing it, making his decisions, and we have to do a better job in a number of ways.” The Seahawks have taken the reins off Wilson – popularizing the phrase “Let Russ Cook” – partly because they’ve played shootouts in which their secondary has been roasted.

The average point total in Seattle’s games this season: 62.5. And more could be in store Sunday if All-Pro safety Jamal Adams (groin) doesn’t return from a three-game absence. Carroll said Monday he wouldn’t know about Adams’ availability until later in the week. In addition, Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin is in the concussion protocol and is dealing with a hamstring injury. The Seahawks’ defense hasn’t been entirely awful. They have 12 takeaways, and their average

of two a game is tied for the NFL lead. It’s a reason they rank 23rd in points allowed per game (28.7), which, while not stellar, at least isn’t threatening to break an NFL record. Seattle still has 10 games to avoid entering the record book for the wrong reasons. The 49ers hope to delay their improvement plan for at least another week. “We’re going to make a turn,” Carroll said. “And we’re going to turn for the better, and it’s going to make a big difference in this season.”

a TD when he knew that he should have fallen short of the goal line to allow the Falcons to run down the clock and kick a winning FG. These Falcons can’t do anything right, even when they score a touchdown. 27. CINCINNATI BENGALS (1-5-1) Last week’s rank: 28 The Bengals, with Joe Burrow, are no longer absolutely dreadful. They’re just an ordinarily bad NFL team. That’s progress. You take what you can get, right? 28. MINNESOTA VIKINGS (1-5) Last week’s rank: 29 The Vikings return from their bye to try to salvage their season, beginning Sunday at Green Bay. It’s difficult to like their chances. 29. NEW YORK GIANTS (1-6) Last week’s rank: 24 Daniel Jones stumbled and fell on his own during his 80-yard run in Thursday night’s loss at Philadelphia. He could face a fine if it’s determined that he violated coronavirus protocols with his night out Friday in Manhattan with Saquon Barkley. It wasn’t a great two days for the Giants’ young QB. 30. HOUSTON TEXANS (1-6) Last week’s rank: 27 There’s no turning around this season now, even with the gifts and competitive will of QB Deshaun Watson. The terrible roster-construction decisions by former coach and GM Bill O’Brien simply became too much to overcome.

No right to certain service level for mail-in votes, US says Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Delivery delays during an election can’t be unlawful, because the Constitution doesn’t guarantee states any particular level of service when it comes to mail-in ballots, the U.S. Postal Service told a federal judge. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and President Donald Trump are seeking dismissal of a lawsuit brought by New York and other states that claim disruptive changes at the USPS over the summer are violating the Elections Clause of the Constitution by putting election mail at risk. The Justice Department argued in a court filing Tuesday in Washington that the clause can’t restrict the government from carrying out operational changes or other activity that “may have an incidental impact” on voting. The states’ theory “assumes that because the plaintiff states crafted their election laws with the expectation that USPS will provide a certain level of service, they now have a constitutional right to expect that level of service,” the U.S. said. The clause “does not shield states from any and all external circumstances that may impact state elections.” The changes – including the dismantling of hundreds of high-speed mail-sorting machines and cuts to employee overtime and late delivery trips – triggered several lawsuits and nationwide injunc-

tions against the Postal Service. But the court orders haven’t reversed the service delays, and Republicans and Democrats have been left to clash in courts across the country over rules for accepting ballots that arrive late even if they’re postmarked by Nov. 3. The U.S. said in the filing that state lawmakers can change the rules for accepting ballots if they’re worried about delivery delays, although Republican legislatures have largely resisted such efforts. “The states remain free to alter their policies to account for any fears over the performance of USPS,” it said. The Postal Service also blasted the states for suggesting that Trump’s negative comments about mail-in voting had anything to do with the changes put in place by DeJoy, a longtime Republican donor with no previous USPS experience. The states “submit no evidence connecting these statements to the alleged USPS policy changes at issue,” it said. “Indeed, they do not cite to a single piece of evidence in the record suggesting that any of these alleged policy changes took place at the behest of the President.” A judge handling another USPS case ruled in September that it was “easy to conclude” that DeJoy’s changes were intended to disrupt and challenge the legitimacy of the coming election, and that voter disenfranchisement was “at the heart” of the policies.

In brief

Trump upset that Fox News ran Obama’s speech NEW YORK — President Donald Trump longs for the days when Fox News was run by Roger Ailes, an ardent supporter of the former New York real estate mogul-turned-politician. Seemingly displeased that the right-wing cable channel aired a speech by Barack Obama on Tuesday, Trump told reporters that wouldn’t have happened if the late TV executive accused of harassing 20 women were still at the helm. The president appeared upset that his predecessor was given airtime, which Obama used to blast Trump’s handling of the pandemic while hosting a drive-in style speech in Florida. “Fox is very disappointing,” the president said. “This would not have happened with Roger Ailes.” Ailes, 77, died in 2017, less than a year after parting ways with Fox News following sexual misconduct claims that have since been the topic of a blockbuster movie and a hit streaming series. In his verbal rebuke of Trump, Obama painted his successor as someone who watches too much television when he could be working. “Tweeting at the TV doesn’t fix things,” Obama said. “Watching TV all day doesn’t fix things. Making stuff up doesn’t fix things.” Trump tweeted his frustration while Obama spoke. “ Fox News is playing Obama’s no crowd, fake speech for Biden, a man he could barely endorse because he couldn’t believe he won,” Trump wrote. “Also, I PREPAID many Millions of Dollars in Taxes.”

Texas high court upholds limit on drop-off sites AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Supreme Court upheld Gov. Greg Abbott’s order limiting counties to one mail-in ballot drop-off location in a Tuesday evening ruling that overturned two lower courts. The unanimous ruling dissolved an injunction, issued by a Democratic District Court judge in Travis County, that sought to bar enforcement of Abbott’s limit of dropoff locations as an impermissible burden on voting rights. The all-Republican court determined that while Abbott restricted voters to one site per county to deliver their completed ballots, the governor actually had expanded voting opportunities. Under Texas law, voters can hand deliver mail-in ballots only on Election Day, but Abbott on July 27 used his emergency powers during the pandemic to allow deliveries for more than five weeks before Nov. 3, the court said. On Oct. 1, Abbott amended the order to shut down multiple drop sites, forcing Travis County to close three downtown locations one day after they had opened. “In the end, the plaintiffs’ complaint is that the Governor ultimately decided not to increase their voting options quite as much as he initially announced,” the court said in an unsigned opinion. The Texas Democratic Party accused the court’s GOP justices of bending the law to secure Republican political power, and District Judge Amy Clark Meachum, the party’s candidate for chief justice criticized the ruling. — Tribune Content Agency

A Los Angeles Police Department helicopter flies over downtown Los Angeles. The department has received

approval to record and store aerial footage of protests and other large gatherings from its helicopters.

LAPD will begin recording, storing aerial footage of protests Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Police Department received approval Tuesday to begin recording and storing aerial footage of protests and other large gatherings from its helicopters – a new capability that the department said would expand its “operational readiness” and protesters and civil liberties advocates denounced as unconstitutional government surveillance. “This is the height of state repression and surveillance,” said Melina Abdullah, a co-founder of Black Lives MatterLos Angeles and leader of some of the largest protests in recent L.A. history. “It’s criminalizing our right to protest.” The approval came via a unanimous Police Commission vote to accept a donation of $2,150 worth of recording equipment from the Los Angeles Police Foundation, a private philanthropic entity that has long bankrolled equipment desired by the LAPD but not budgeted for or prioritized by the city. The vote followed a brief discussion about the practicalities of the equipment, its intended uses and the privacy issues it could raise. Police drones and other law enforcement aircraft with aerial recording capabilities have raised concerns across the country in recent years, particularly when it comes to their use over protests and other constitutionally

protected activities. However, when asked about those concerns Tuesday, Deputy Chief Peter Zarcone, who heads the LAPD’s counterterrorism and special operations bureau, did not equivocate. He said it was the LAPD’s specific intention to use the equipment to record protests. “If the privacy concern is that that should not be done, then that would preclude what we’re trying to do,” Zarcone said. Right now, 10 LAPD helicopters – or about half the department’s fleet – are equipped with technology that allows for video to be transmitted to commanders on the ground, who can watch the feeds in real time. However, those feeds cannot be recorded or stored. The new equipment – including two recorders, two mobile hard drives and two video encoders – will “allow the footage to be preserved, expanding the Department’s operational readiness and capacity,” the LAPD wrote in its pitch for approval of the donated equipment to the commission. Zarcone said the LAPD keeps records on when aerial filming is requested and when it is approved, but that there are no explicit policies around what types of events can be filmed. He said footage recorded from the helicopters would likely be held indefinitely, just like body-camera footage and police dashboard video. Mohammad Tajsar, senior staff attorney at the ACLU of South-

ern California, said the recording of protests – and the long-term storage of the footage – is extremely problematic. “It’s bad enough that Angelenos in overpoliced neighborhoods have to deal with constant surveillance and harassment from the skies, but the LAPD’s plans to keep that footage forever adds insult to injury,” Tajsar said. He said police recording of protests “really should be understood as an intimidation tactic, to try to prevent people from exercising their right to free speech,” and “should raise red flags all over City Hall.” Tajsar said the LAPD has a range of other technologies – including facial recognition software – that could be used in conjunction with the surveillance footage, escalating the potential for invasive breaches of people’s privacy. Some modern cameras are powerful enough to identify individuals in crowds from above, adding to the concern, he said. “We’re heading for a real nightmare scenario where the LAPD’s secretive technology can identify anybody from a crowd of protesters with a click of a mouse,” he said. “That to me is incredibly disturbing.” Tajsar said Angelenos “don’t need to know anything more to conclude” that recording protests is “a real problem and should not happen,” but if it is going to happen, they should demand answers to certain questions – includ-

ing how powerful the cameras are on the LAPD’s helicopters, how the LAPD is going to use the footage, whether it will be used in conjunction with other technologies such as facial recognition, who will have access to it and whether its use will be audited. Abdullah said the LAPD already routinely hovers over protests with their helicopters. “We’re not surprised by it,” she said. However, to know that they intend to begin recording the events below is another thing entirely, she said, and she wonders “what all of this could be used for, and how it criminalizes folks.” Beyond the fears of protesters, recordings of protests could allow police to review large demonstrations days and weeks later, and could supplement body-camera and other ground-level surveillance footage in situations that later come under investigation. Several incidents in which police officers badly wounded protestors with projectiles during demonstrations this summer were captured by officers’ body cameras, but others have occurred without any footage being found. Aerial footage of protests could also assist in reviews of police tactics, such as are being conducted now for the summer protests, including by showing how crowds moved and where tensions first escalated.

Zeta forecast to be Category 1 Warnings issued from Louisiana to Florida Panhandle Tribune Content Agency MIAMI — Zeta weakened back into a tropical storm overnight and is forecast to re-strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane by the time it approaches the northern Gulf Coast Wednesday, prompting hurricane, storm surge and tropical storm warnings from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. A few tornadoes may also be possible Wednesday over southeastern Mississippi, southern Alabama, and the western Florida Panhandle, according to the National Hurricane Center. Forecasters expect Zeta will make landfall somewhere between Morgan City, Louisiana, and the Mississippi- Alabama border, which were placed under a hurricane warning Tuesday. Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Maurepas, and Metropolitan New

Orleans are also under a hurricane warning. A tropical storm warning was also issued from the MississippiAlabama border to the Okaloosa- Walton county line in Florida, and a tropical storm watch is in effect west of Morgan City to Intracoastal City, Louisiana. Zeta is forecast to bring hurricane and tropicalstorm-force winds to the areas under hurricane and tropical storm warnings. The storm is also forecast to bring heavy rains, between 2 to 4 inches with some isolated areas seeing up to 6 inches of rain, from eastern Louisiana, across southern Mississippi, Alabama and northern Georgia through Wednesday night and through the southern Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday. That may result in flash, urban, smallstream and minor river flooding, according to the

hurricane center. Forecasters also issued a storm surge warning Tuesday from the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana, to Navarre, Florida, including Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain, Vermilion Bay, Pensacola Bay, and Mobile Bay. The National Hurricane Center is predicting water levels will rise by as much as 2 to 4 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate coast in the tropical storm warning area. Combined with the tide, the storm surge will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded, forecasters said. The highest storm surge, between 4 and 6 feet, is expected from Port Fourchon, Louisiana to Dauphin Island, Alabama, including Lake Borgne. Forecasters said other parts of the tropical storm warning area could see between two to four feet of storm

surge, including: n From Dauphin Island, Alabama, to Navarre, Florida, including Mobile Bay and Pensacola Bay. n Navarre, Florida to Yankeetown, Florida, including Choctawhatchee Bay and Saint Andrew Bay, which might see between 1 and 3 feet of storm surge. As of 5 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Zeta was continuing to produce strong winds and heavy rainfall across the northern portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and was moving toward the northwest near 14 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. Mexico on Tuesday morning changed its hurricane warning to a tropical storm warning from Punta Allen to Progreso, including Cozumel. The storm’s maximum sustained winds have decreased to 65 mph.

hough the title may sound like science fiction or some rock-and-roll romp, “Radium Girls” gets its name from the plaintiffs in a real court case about an American tragedy during the Progressive Era. The case had a lasting impact on workplace protections, though possibly not as enduring as the effect the radiation the women were exposed to would have on their bodies. From the 1910s through the ’20s, the United States Radium Corp. (here, “American Radium”) thrived by selling glow-in-the-dark watches with numbers hand-painted with actual radium. Workers, mostly women, were exposed to tremendous amounts of the radioactive material. They were even instructed to bring the brushes to a finer point by putting them between their lips. When workers began to sicken and die in conspicuous numbers, a handful of the rest brought suit against the company, which had maintained that the substance was safe. Joey King (“The Act”) plays Bessie, one of three sisters to work at the factory. Her sister, Mary, has died before we meet the family, which does not suspect a lethal connection to her job. Abby Quinn (“Little Women”) plays the other sister, Josephine, a star worker with enthusiasm for ancient Egypt and for her work – until she falls mysteriously ill as well. Considering the company doctor’s humiliating diagnosis of Josephine’s sickness and the wealthy corporation’s resources, how can a group of impoverished legal novices prevail? Many facts and names have been altered. Despite this dramatic license, the film lurches toward cliche, with surprise witnesses and evidence sprung on the other side in the courtroom. A romantic subplot is thrown in, with questionable necessity. Codirector Lydia Dean

Review

“Radium Girls” Unrated 102minutes

HHH (out of four) Pilcher again shows an eye for intriguing historical material (she also directed this year’s “A Call to Spy”). However, as with “Call to Spy,” there’s a lack of texture and experiential quality to “Radium Girls.” Low-budget period pieces face the formidable challenge of making the time and place feel immediate; “Radium” isn’t helped by the filmmakers’ habit of interspersing archival footage they can’t quite match with new digitally “aged” shots featuring their characters. Little attention is paid to the vernacular or physicality of the period. The depths of emotions aren’t plumbed – when one character announces a piece of her jaw has just fallen out, there’s puzzlingly little horror or panic among her loved ones. Still, there’s a natural rooting interest in these betrayed workers. And it’s disturbing to see these women licking the radium-dipped paintbrushes because it’s akin to, well, licking radium. Given this was an era when companies were happily plugging their radium water as a cure-all and women had only recently gained the right to vote, the odds are definitely not in the plaintiffs’ favor. They have to convince a jury, and fast – the clock is ticking on their lives. A postscript to the film claims a Geiger counter activated above their graves would detect radiation for 1,000 years.

When it comes to movies, what constitutes “scary”? The answer is subjective, obviously. Horror movies from the 1930s are cool, but their quaintness keeps them from freaking me out. I’m a huge fan of “Rear Window,” “Get Out” and “Silence of the Lambs,” but they’re about tension, not scares.

Bridge

Others prefer defense; Anatoly Karpov springs to mind. In bridge, a hand is usually more suitable for either offense or defense. Knowing in which camp your hand sits should be a strong influence during the auction. Look at today’s East hand. Does it initially suggest offense or defense? North passes, East opens one heart, South overcalls two clubs, and West cue-bids three clubs, showing three or more hearts and at least game-invitational values. After North leaps to five clubs, what should East do? This predicament faced three robots at Bridge Base Online. Amazingly, they all passed. Five clubs was passed out and went down three (losing three spades, one heart and one diamond). Minus 150 gave North-South 93.3% of the matchpoints. That East hand screams offense, not defense. So why did the Easts pass? I have no idea! I must admit, I would have been tempted to jump straight to six hearts, hoping partner had, say, the WITH MANY spade ace and diamond king.

Holiday sales forecasts vary on savings, stimulus effects Tribune Content Agency There’s little consensus among U.S. economists when it comes to forecasting holiday spending this year. By one estimate from Gallup Poll, spending on gifts will drop 14.5% this season, with 28% of Americans saying they will spend less on presents than in 2019. Wells Fargo & Co., however, pre-

dicts that holiday sales will increase 9%, which would be the largest year-overyear gain on record. “A forced thrift that has curtailed spending in the service sector and canceled travel plans frees up income for more spending on gifts,” Wells Fargo economists Tim Q u i n la n, Sha n non Seery and Sara Cotsakis said in a note. “After

the anxiety and stress of a year defined by the virus, natural disasters and a divisive election, we suspect holiday sales will also benefit from a yearning for comfort and normalcy.” Other estimates assume that stuck-at-home consumers will use their savings from discretionary income on gifts, but to varying degrees. Con-

sumer Growth Partners sees a 5.8% year-over-year i ncrease in retail sales for the November-December holiday season, while Deloitte predicts a much more modest gain of 1% to 1.5%. Retail sales are already well above their pre-pandemic levels and have been climbing for five straight months, which could signal strong spending growth for

the holidays. At the same time, more than 12 million Americans remain unemployed and lawmakers continue to bicker over further fiscal support. Between now and Christmas, a number of factors could still alter the final holiday spending figures, according to Gallup. “With the number of new Covid-19 cases rising,

the fate of a second round of stimulus checks hanging in the balance in Congress, and the presidential election around the corner, the chances are high for a shift in consumers’ spending intentions on discretionary items like holiday gifts,” Lydia Saad, Gallup’s director of U.S. social research, said in a note.

AirPods have become one of Apple’s biggest hits in recent years.

Apple developing smaller AirPods Pro, revamped entry-level model Tribune Content Agency Apple Inc. is planning updates to its AirPods earbuds next year, seeking to capitalize on the success of a product that has become an important source of growth. T he C uper t i no based technology giant is working on two new models: third-generation entry-level AirPods and the second version of the AirPods Pro earbuds, according to people familiar with the plans. The models will join other new Apple audio devices like the HomePod mini and upcoming overear headphones. The company has also weighed launching another smart speaker that would sit between the HomePod mini and the original version in the line up. The design of the updated entr y-level AirPods will be similar to the current AirPods Pro, gaining a shorter stem and replaceable ear tips. Apple is also looking to improve battery life. That model however will not have higher-end

AirPods Pro features like noise-cancellation, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters. For the new AirPods Pro, Apple is aiming to make the earbuds more compact by eliminating the short stem that currently sticks out from the bottom. A design in testing has a more rounded shape that fills more of a user’s ear – similar to the latest designs from Samsung Electronics Co., Amazon. com Inc. and Google. Integrating noisecancellation, wireless antennas and microphones into a smaller AirPods Pro casing has proved challenging during development, which could result in a less ambitious design when the product is finalized, the people said. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment. Apple has internally discussed launching the new low-end AirPods during the first half of next year. The company is also planning new wireless chips to power both models. Luxshare Precision Industry Co. and Goertek Inc. are

expected to handle most of the production for the new earbuds. After being mocked by some early on, AirPods have become one of Apple’s biggest hits in recent years. The company’s Wearables, Home and Accessories division, which includes A i rPods, repor ted $6.5 billion in revenue in the latest quarter, up more than 70% from two years ago. The earbuds may get a new sales boost soon because Apple stopped including headphones with new iPhones. The success has attracted rivals such as China’s Xiaomi Corp. that offer more affordable options. Apple currently sells entry-level AirPods for $159 and the AirPods Pro at $249. The original AirPods launched in 2016 and were last updated in March 2019. The AirPods Pro came out in October last year. Beyond the new AirPods, Apple has also internally weighed a new HomePod that sits in size, price and sound quality between the original

$299 HomePod and the $99 HomePod mini. It’s unclear if Apple will ultimately launch that product or just further cut the price of the higher-end version. Apple is still planning to announce high-end, noise-canceling over-ear headphones. The device has faced several development challenges over the past two years and has been delayed multiple times. The headphones were due to go into production weeks ago, but that was pushed back due to problems with the headband, a person familiar with the matter said. That part was deemed too tight in some testing. The company initially wanted to include large touch pads on the sides of the headphones, but reduced the size of those panels. Apple has also scaled back some of the interchangeable functionality of the headphones that were a hallmark of the initial concept. The latest version of the product is likely to lack a replaceable headband, but could still include interchangeable ear pads.

Charles Schwab cuts 1,000 jobs to reduce ‘overlapping roles’ Tribune Content Agency Charles Schwab is cutting 1,000 jobs in an effort to “reduce overlapping or redundant roles” following its $22 billion acquisition of rival TD Ameritrade. The staff reduction amounts to about 3% of the companies’ combined workforce, Schwab said in a statement. “Since the close of our acquisition, teams across our combined organization have been working hard to create the best operating model

in service to our clients and each other,” the statement said. “Today, we are taking further steps to bring our companies together – streamlining our structure and reshaping our branch network.” With its $22 billion deal for rival TD Ameritrade now complete, Charles Schwab said earlier this month that it expects to formally designate Westlake, Texas as the combined company’s new corporate headquarters on Jan. 1. Schwab is now based in San Francisco.

McDonald’s asks judge to toss out racial discrimination suit Tribune Content Agency CHICAGO — McDonald’s is asking a judge to dismiss a federal lawsuit filed by more than 50 Black former franchisees who allege that racial discrimination by the fast food giant set them up to fail. Chicago-based McDonald’s, in a filing Friday in U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois, called the allegations “illogical” because the company “is only as successful as its franchisees.” The Sept. 1 complaint by the Black former franchisees alleged McDonald’s steered them to less profitable locations, with lower sales volumes and higher security costs, and excluded them from financial support and growth opportunities offered to white franchisees. They allege they were denied opportunities to open and operate franchises in more profitable locations. As a result, they allege, many went out of business and

Tamara Bauer/Dreamstime/TNS

A law firm filed a billion-dollar lawsuit on behalf of more than 50 Black former franchise owners of McDonald’s restaurants, Tuesday. some declared bankruptcy. The number of black McDonald’s franchisees fell by more than half since its peak of 377 in 1998, to 186 today, and the cash flow gap between white and black franchisees more than tripled, the complaint alleges. The plaintiffs together operated

200 stores and are seeking as much as $1 billion in damages. In its motion to dismiss the suit, McDonald’s said the statute of limitations has expired for many of the claims. It also denied allegations of breach of contract, saying the agreements did not promise financial support.

“At its core, Plaintiffs’ claim is that they should have been more successful. But success is promised to no one, and Plaintiffs’ struggles – while regrettable – are simply not a basis for a claim against McDonald’s,” the company’s filing said. McDonald’s is facing numerous lawsuits alleging racial discrimination. Earlier this month three workers at a McDonald’s restaurant in Rock Island, Illinois, and Lakeland, Florida, filed a federal suit alleging managers called Black Cooks and cashiers “ghetto” and “lazy” and retaliated against them when they pushed back. The company also is fighting a federal lawsuit filed in January by two Black senior executives, who alleged McDonald’s had double standards for Black employees, purged senior leadership of African Americans and put onerous costs on Black franchisees. Both that suit and the fran-

chisees’ suit allege the practices reflect a historic pattern at the company that was made worse after 2015 when Steve Easterbrook, a British businessman, took the reins of the company from Don Thompson, who was McDonald’s first Black CEO. Easterbrook was fired last year for having a romantic relationship with an employee and has since been sued by the company for lying about other romances, in an effort to claw back his severance. Chris Kempczinski, who served as President of McDonald’s USA under Easterbrook, now runs the company. McDonald’s has denied allegations that it treats Black franchisees differently. The company said there has been consolidation in the number of franchises across all demographic groups over the past several years and that the overall representation of Black operators is “broadly unchanged.”

B10 Wednesday, October 28, 2020 — DAILY REPUBLIC

Dodgers: Snell’s removal turned game From Page B1 operates with one of baseball’s biggest payrolls, but made his career out of passing on every big-ticket player on the market – Bryce Harper and Manny Machado among them – until finally pulling the trigger on Betts in February. He was rewarded when Betts proved to be the missing piece that pushed the Dodgers over the top, with his solo homer in the eighth inning Tuesday night the latest piece of evidence. The Rays have never won a World Series title in their 22-year history, and the fact they came closer than ever before this week will be of little consolation. Because who knows? If they had not made one of the most curious and second-guessable pitching moves in recent memory, this series might have been heading to a Game 7 on Wednesday night. With one out in the bottom of the sixth, Rays Manager Kevin Cash pulled Snell, who was in the middle of what could legitimately be called an October gem – a ninestrikeout two-hitter, during which he had been

more or less untouchable by the best hitters in the Dodgers’ lineup, who are also, naturally, some of the best hitters on the planet. The moment Cash strolled out his dugout to pull Snell following a leadoff single by Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes in the sixth, the crowd of 11,437, unable to believe what was taking place, hooted and cheered. Snell, despite knowing full well it is simply the way his team operates, looked away in disgust and shook his head. When he handed the ball to Cash, he wouldn’t even look him in the eye. The Rays were leading by one. The next three batters due up for the Dodgers were Betts, Corey Seager and Justin Turner - the same trio who had gone 0-for-6 with six strikeouts against Snell. Did the Rays really want someone besides Snell to face them? The downfall was swift and predictable. Right-hander Nick Anderson, arguably the best reliever in baseball during the regular season but someone who appeared to have tired over the course of this series, entered and imme-

(four) and Brusdar Graterol (two) – did the job to carry the game to the late innings. When the Dodgers clinched the 1988 World Series against the Oakland A’s, they used just one pitcher, with Orel Hershiser throwing a complete game in Game 5. This time, they used seven. The last of them was rookie lefty Julio Urías, who had thrown 80 pitches in his Game 4 start just three nights earlier, but here closed out the Rays with 2 1/3 dominant innings. The Dodgers’ win, in its own way, also validated the entire 2020 baseball enterprise, which teetered and tottered on the edge of oblivion several times, but stuck it out and was rewarded for its tenacity and adaptability. A fluky champion might have contributed to the notion this was something less than a legitimate season. But 60-game season or no, the Dodgers were an historically good team, going 43-17 in the regular season – a .717 winning percentage that represents the highest for a World Series champion since Honus Wagner’s 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates, who went 110-42 (.724).

diately allowed a double to right by Betts. A wild pitch scored Barnes, and a groundball to first base off the bat of Seager scored Betts – who beat the throw to the plate from Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi. Within two batters of getting Snell out of the game, the Dodgers had flipped a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead. But meantime, the Dodgers’ pitching staff, collectively, was doing a pretty good Snell impression of their own. While starter Tony Gonsolin lasted just 1 2/3 innings – giving up Randy Arozarena’s solo homer to right, the 10th of this postseason for the Rays phenom, extending his own MLB record – the Rays failed to put up more runs against him, despite ample opportunity. But with an off-day Monday to replenish sagging arms, and with the Rays’ lead stuck on one, Roberts managed his bullpen aggressively, cycling through reliever after reliever. All of them – right-hander Dylan Floro (who recorded one out), lefty Alex Wood (six outs), right-hander Pedro Baez (two), lefty Victor González

Patriots: Belichick stuck on 306 wins From Page B1 football. Twenty-two quarterbacks later, the Dolphins finally have found Marino’s replacement. Maybe. Possibly. Tua Tagovailoa hasn’t played a whole game yet, but that’s kind of hope necklace fans wear even before his first start next Sunday. During the 49ers’ rout in New England, a Boston TV broadcaster, Mike Lynch, asked on Twitter: “When was the last time you saw a Patriots defense get run over so consistently? Upton Bell answered: “Miami. 1971. I was the GM.” It’s true. Bell was then the Patriots’ general manager. The Dolphins ran for 215 yards on them. These 49ers only ran for 197 Sunday. So see? It can get

worse, Patriots fans. “We were clearly outcoached, outplayed – just out-everything,” Belichick said. “We’re just not performing at a good level right now in any area. So that’s across the board.” That quote’s from the playbook of Cam Cameron, Joe Philbin and Adam Gase. Suddenly, Don Shula’s record 347 wins isn’t so certain to fall, considering Belichick’s been stuck at 306 for a month. Brady, meanwhile, picked his next team well. Tampa Bay has the league’s best defense. It has some nice offensive pieces. One of his four touchdown passes Sunday was thrown to another Patriots hasbeen, Rob Gronkowski.
