Fairfield OKs fast-track rules to shelter homeless Susan Hiland
shiland@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — City Council members approved a plan Tuesday to allow churches and similar facilities to provide temporary housing for the homeless. The action came through an urgency ordinance that had previously been delayed. “We have been looking at opportunities to create additional shelter for the homeless with our community partners,� said Dawn La Bar, who works in the City Manager’s Office and with the city’s Homeless Services Division. The plan changes the city code, which would establish specific operating criteria for permitted temporary shelters. It is considered an urgency ordinance to facilitate addressing homeless issues. Some churches in the past provided “nomadic sheltering,� whereby churches housed homeless people on a rotating basis at a different church on different nights of the week. The current Zoning Ordinance does not clearly address or allow temporary or nomadic sheltering at churches or other places of
worship. While religious facilities may include accessory uses associated directly with worship service, including living quarters for clergy and staff and child or senior day care facilities, other regular activities of a church are classified according to the activity type and are regulated accordingly. Religious facilities and other assembly uses are often not intended for overnight human occupancy, and so may not be compliant with life safety standards under the city’s building and fire codes, according to the staff report. Additional site-specific conditions may be imposed on individual permits to ensure the health, safety and general welfare of the individuals being provided shelter, shelter operators and the surrounding neighborhood. The plan would waive fees associated with obtaining the required permits to open a temporary shelter at a specific site. Before a permit is issued, the Fire Department and the Building Division will perform inspections to ensure that the portion of the facility to be used as a temporary
Protest over police shooting probe results leads to arrests at meeting Susan Hiland
FAIRFIELD — A protest over reported results of an investigation into a shooting several years ago in Vallejo by a current Fairfield police officer ended with several people arrested. The Fairfield City Council went into recess for about 20 minutes after the protest started. The protest was a response to Police Chief Deanna Cantrell’s presentation of the results of an investigation into the shooting death in 2012 of 23-year-old Mario Ramiro in Vallejo by current Fairfield Police Officer Dustin Joseph.

Pentagon reducing troop levels to 2,500 each in Afghanistan, Iraq WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is cutting force levels to 2,500 troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan, a decision long resisted by the military’s senior leaders, but enacted by acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller after a recent shake-up at the top. Miller took over as the new defense secretary last week after President Donald Trump fired his predecessor Mark Esper by tweet. “As a veteran whose life and family was irrevocably changed in the deserts, mountains and cities of Afghanistan along with the hundreds of thousands of U.S.
FAIR F IELD — Another resident of the Magnolia Court memory care facility in Vacaville on Tuesday became the 80th reported fatality in Solano County that’s linked at least in part to Covid-19. The death total has been a disputed subject, with opponents of the novel coronavirus pandemic response urging the county and the state to focus on the death rate, which is less than 1% countywide, especially when compared to other diseases. They do not believe the low death rate justifies shutting down businesses. The mortality rate in California is 1.76% as of Monday, the state reports. Tuesday’s total will be
reported Wednesday. The death rate nationwide stands at 2.2% and the worldwide mortality rate is 2.4%, according to Johns Hopkins University’s Covid-19 tracking analysis Tuesday. Solano County health officials have noted that while the disease has been present in the individuals who have died, in some cases it may have played no part in the death, and in many others, would have played very little for individuals who had serious health issues. Some have been hospice patients. But there have been Covid-related deaths in healthier residents, too. The news of the latest death comes on a day on which the county reported 129 new cases,

Rhetoric escalates in Covid-19 clashes at supes session Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — Some of the Solano County residents who had refused to wear face coverings during Board of Supervisors meetings flashed Nazi salutes and yelled out “sieg heil� when forced to wear face shields at Tuesday’s meeting. It is part of an escalation of frustration and rhetoric that included Richard Robiak stating that teachers and others in public education are “God and country haters� for not reopening schools to in-person instruction. The enforcement of wearing face coverings during the meeting came a day after the state placed the county back into the most restrictive purple tier because of surging case rates – nearly three times higher
than what is necessary to stay in the less restrictive red tier. “I’m just trying to keep you safe,� board Chairman Erin Hannigan said when engaging with one of the individuals prior to the start of the meeting. Super v isor Jim Spering said later he understands their frustration and said if he was in their position, he too might come to the meeting and yell at the board. The board did not receive its usual Public Health update on the Covid-19 situation. Robiak is often one of the most vocal critics of the county’s Covid-19 response, and often mimics the farright media anthems of blaming the so-called mainstream media for providing false infor-

massive government economic recovery programs enacted under FDR. A world war, emerging 20th-century technologies and the skill sets required to run them merged with the unprecedented economic crisis to change the way we think about education and its importance to society. Economists such as Milton Friedman, Henry Levin and Ludger Woessmann have consistently shown since World War II that investments in public education result in billions of dollars of social and economic benefits for society. An educated population has less unemployment, reduced dependence on public assistance programs and produces greater tax revenue. Education also plays a key role in the reduction of crime, improved public health and greater political and civic engagement. For example: n Across all countries, gross hourly wages increase (on average) by 7.4% with each additional year of education. n The average gap in lifetime earnings between a high school dropout and a college graduate is between $950,000 and $1.387 million. n Decreasing high school dropouts by a half produces approximately $45 billion per year in net economic benefit to society. n Over his/her lifetime, each new high school graduate will (on average) generate
$209,100 in economic benefits to the public sector. n Quality pre-kindergarten education programs produce a return of at least $7 for every dollar invested. n A 5% increase in male high school graduates would save (on average), $5 billion in crime-related expenses. n Annual savings in public health costs would exceed $40 billion if every high school dropout would graduate. While far from perfect, public education continues to serve America’s economic, social and political interests well. The benefits vastly outweigh the costs. Our Founding Fathers would be pleased.

Key deadline looms for Solano fire victims who seek public cleanup help
Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — A Dec. 15 deadline to get paperwork filed is looming for victims of the LNU Complex Lightning Fire who are opting to allow a state contractor to complete the second phase of cleanup. Solano County officials said during a fire recovery update Tuesday to the Board of Supervisors that the deadline is a hard one set by the California Office of Emergency Services. County Administrator Birgitta Corsello said the right to entry form, which gives the contractor permission to come onto the private property, should actually be filed with the county several days in advance to make sure it is completed properly. The form is available at solanocountyrecovers.org. As of Monday, the county has received 20 forms, said Terry Schmidtbauer, the acting director of the Department of Management Resource. He said the county has received 141 workplans from property owners using private contractors, of which 119 have been approved to date. There are 108 properties that are exempt largely because they were considered to be safe. That leaves just over 220 properties the county has not heard from about whether they plan to use private contractors or to opt into the public cleanup, which is free. “Property owners will

A destroyed house remains on English Hills Road after the LNU Lightning Complex Fire, Sept. 7. have to turn over any insurance proceeds,” Schmidtbauer said. For those property owners who decided to clean up their own properties, it is unlikely now that they could choose the public option. “We have had a few of those . . . but obviously we did not want people to clean their properties on their own,” said Schmidtbauer, who added that the county will backtrack those properties. Those property owners will have to show the county what they did, how and where they disposed of the debris and likely will have their properties tested to make sure they are safe. The other issue of concern raised was erosion control. The board was told that the county has a team working with water districts and other agencies to deal with the issue, especially now that there has been rain.
“We have crews out there doing tree removal and cleaning the creeks,” said Corsello, who added that other agencies also have crews in the field doing cleanup work. “The watershed has really been destroyed and the debris flow is a problem,” Corsello said. Super v isor Sk ip Thomson asked what recourse there is for anyone whose property is damaged by debris that comes down creeks or mudslides. “They will be covered, but it would take another declaration by the state . . . because it is flood damage not fire damage,” said Don Ryan, the manager of the Solano County Office of Emergency Services. For public properties, a 60-day window opened last week for all agencies to document damage and submit those claims to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. That has been trickier with the novel coronavirus
pandemic, the supervisors were told, because FEMA officials are relying more on electronic submissions, including GPS coordinates and photos, rather than inperson inspections. 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 is the fifthlargest fire in the state’s modern history, dating back to 1932.

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors agreed Tuesday to begin exclusive negotiations with Industrial Realty Group LLC/ Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. as the master developer for the Solano360 project. Super v isor John Vasquez won a commitment that the full board will be updated on the progress of those negotiations.

Fair and includes new facilities and an environmental makeover for the 37.3-acre fair site. The fair was a topic of interest for Vasquez and Supervisor Skip Thomson, each of whom wanted to know how the agricultural tradition of the fair fits into the plan. “I think it is a great idea to move the (location) of the fair . . . but I’m having a hard time envisioning the
fair,” Thomson said. Vasquez encouraged IRG/JLL to talk to other fairs and fair associations. “Don’t limit yourself. Look to the industry itself,” said Vasquez, who left open the prospect of those days of a small ag-based fair may be numbered by attrition alone. “It may be leaving the area,” Vasquez said. “The numbers (of agriculture entries) are starting to dwindle.” A central selling point of the IRG/JLL project is the detailed “Main Street” vision, the kind of location that was described as See County, Page A4
FAIRFIELD — An estimated 1,340 Solano County residents are living with HIV/AIDS, members of the Board of Supervisors were told Tuesday – and many do not know they have the disease. The board adopted a resolution recognizing Dec. 1 as World AIDS Day in Solano County. “UNAIDS estimates that 38 million people worldwide are currently living with HIV/AIDS, while 7.1 million do not know that they are living with HIV,” the resolution states. “. . . there were 1.7 million new cases of HIV and an estimated 690,000 deaths from AIDS-related illness worldwide in 2019.” World AIDS Day theme is “Global Soli d a r i t y, Shared Responsibility.” other In action, the board: n Accepted the quarterly review of the Statement of Assets of the Solano County Treasury as of Sept. 30. n Accepted the audit of the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Records and Accounts Relating to Property Tax Redemption for the period July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2020. n Adopted a resolution to withdraw from the Joint Powers Agreement with California Electronic Recording Transaction Authority effective July 1, 2021. n Authorized the

Solano takes up challenge of 17th annual Food Fight Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano is providing food to about 100,000 more people per month than prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. “In July, we had the first million-pound week,” said Joel Sjostrom, president and chief executive of the Food Bank. He said in his phone-in to the Solano County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday that 40 million pounds will be provided during 2020. His comments came as the board accepted the challenge by Contra Costa County for the 17th annual Counties Care Holiday Food Fight. The employees in each county raise money for the Food Bank during the challenge. During the 16 years of the Food Fight, $1.9 million has been raised, including $34,000 by Solano County in 2019. Two meals are paid
for by every dollar raised, Sjostrom said. In other action, the board: n Recognized Correctional Officer Carlos Hernandez upon his retirement from the Sheriff’s Office with more than 26 years in Solano County. n Recognized outgoing Benicia Mayor Elizabeth Patterson for her 17 years of elected service to Benicia. n Reappointed Cindy Gill to the Silveyville Cemetery District board of trustees, representing the 4th District, from Jan. 4, 2021 to Jan. 4, 2025. n Extended two full-time equivalent, limited-term Victim Assistant positions in the District Attorney’s Office to Dec. 31, 2021. n Approved the Solano County Housing Authority’s Move-to-Work Plan and submittal of the plan and application packet to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Festival of the Trees moves online for 30th anniversary drnews@dailyrepublic.net
VACAVILLE — The Vacaville Festival of Trees, celebrating its 30th year of selling decorated Christmas trees to raise money for the city’s homeless shelter, has found itself homeless this year as restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid-19 shut down its longstanding venue.

Fair Board to review draft new-year budget VALLEJO — The Solano County Fair Association board is scheduled to review the draft 2021 budget when it meets Wednesday. The 6 p.m. meeting is virtual. Log-in information can be found at www.scfair.com. The Finance Committee met Tuesday morning. In addition to the 2021 draft budget, the board will review current financial information and discuss correspondence related to workshops on alternative fairground operating models. With the Solano360 project moving forward, there will be a lot of potential changes for the Fair Board and its responsibilities. Those management details are part of the closed session that is also scheduled. A potential matter of litigation is also part of the closed session.
Church announces food pantry turkey giveaway FAIRFIELD — Mount Calvary Baptist Church will host food pantry turkey dinner giveaway from 1 to 3 p.m. Thursday at the church, 1735 Enterprise Blvd., Building 3, Fairfield. No sign up is necessary. Every bag of groceries will have a frozen turkey inside. For more information, go to https://mcbcfs.org.

The IRG/JLL presentation also made a number of links to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, including a bridge that crosses over Fairgrounds Drive from one site to the other. The board was told that the idea is to capture some of those day visitors who come to Six Flags, but also to use the amusement park as a draw to the Solano360 site. Another centerpiece in the proposal is a threestory, 250-room hotel and related amenities, the architectural style of which the committee was told could even be inspired by the Mare Island history or another local theme.

the project as a whole also played a key part in the presentation. T he c ommittee also was impressed with the flexibility built into the project, specifically boutique guynn jr. restaurant spaces that if one tenant did not make it work, another could move in right away. There are residential features to the project, which was not part of the original Solano360 vision. “Housing was not part of the (original plan),� Hannigan said, “but times change.� George Guynn Jr. said he hopes that is true. He has opposed the Solano360 concept from the beginning because he does not think public agencies should be in the development game. Nor does he think there is much to show for the nearly $11 million
the county has committed to the project so far. “You are not supposed to be playing a gambling game with taxpayer money,� Guynn said. The original Solano360 has been described as a “complete transformation� of the fairgrounds. It was a 25-year, $94 million mixed-use concept which county and city officials hoped would create a kind of economic synergy. Hannigan said the county’s investment to clear the site of the former horse racing track and other buildings did help in attracting a highlevel firm like IRG/JLL

to the project. Moreover, IRG President Stuart Lichter said his company has specialized in transforming large properties into vital and energized projects. Paul Hale told the board that traffic flow must be a priority in designing the project. The county, Vallejo and the Solano Transportation Authority have been working on that for several years. Hale also noted that the proposed amphitheater needs to be designed as more than a concert venue; something with backstage facilities that would also support musical and other theatrical productions.

Proceeds from all festival activities support the shelter, which event organizers said needs as much help as ever. Covid-19 restrictions instituted in mid-March forced the temporary closure of the thrift store, typically an ongoing source of revenue. As restrictions continued, other fundraisers were canceled or reduced in scope. Meanwhile, the shelter has continued to serve 30 to 40 adults and children each day, providing them a place to live, meals and programs designed to get them back on their feet. The sober living program boasts that 82% of its graduates become self-sufficient and move into permanent housing. Since its inception in 1991, Vacaville Festival of Trees has raised nearly $2.5 million for the shelter.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Feeling hesitant and resistant can be taken as a signal you’re in danger, or it doesn’t mean this at all. Today, it’s just a simple fear of the unknown and should be brushed off in the name of learning. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The current way works, but you can’t help but wonder if there’s a more efficient method. Condensing tasks, thereby freeing up time, feels like a sacred cause, and appropriately so. Time is among your most precious resources. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have something to express, though you won’t be sure exactly what it is or the best way to put it out there until you start talking. Communication is an experiment. Give yourself plenty of chances. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re focused on a future event. However great it will be, today is just as great. If you knew that someday you would be nostalgic about this very day, then what would you do differently to savor it? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You cannot make the future because it’s a collaboration. However, you can and will strongly influence the people around you by envisioning your version and feeding that vision
Daily Cryptoquotes
Dear Annie: Before cyberbullying, my grandson was physically bullied by a leader and two boys. They knocked him down, broke his arm and threatened his life in school. They got away with it. My daughter contacted the police, who secured counseling for the bullies. The police said that in another year, the boys would have been so emboldened as to be beyond help and most likely would be in the criminal justice system. Today, my “nerdy” grandson has a master’s degree and a lovely wife. They have a darling baby; a nice home; many kind, successful friends; and spectacular careers. Happy endings can take time and effort. — Grateful Grandma Dear Grateful Grandma: It was wonderful that your daughter involved the police and you were all able to stop events that could have turned tragic. I’m always reminded of the famous Aesop’s fable of the tortoise and the hare. Sometimes, the slower to develop or bloom end up winning the race. In life, that goal is to find happiness and to be surrounded by friends and family, filled up with warmth and love. You should be so proud of your grandson, and your daughter is something special.

Today’s birthday You refuse to buy into the status quo vision because you see more than people around you are accepting. With your imaginative approach, you’ll make extraordinary things happen. A deal comes together before the end of the year, thanks to your investigative problem-solving. Love is lavished on you. Aries and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 4, 44, 48 and 1.
with your words and actions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll mine gems of happiness all over the place – and time – today. You’ll revel in glorious moments as you time travel through joyous moments of your memory and your projections of the future. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Having too little to do doesn’t feel good to you. Having too much is worse. There’s a sweet spot in the middle -just enough stress to keep you on your toes and not enough to drain you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your cosmic boon: well-calibrated confidence. You’re
realistic about what you can achieve and seeing the smiles you elicit along the way will give you just the right amount of confidence. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Today’s decisions aren’t major, but they’re tricky. There are consequences to be had, and they’ll happen on many levels. Check around, research, put in the deep thought. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You’ll be doing some forecasting. The more specific you are in your predictions, the less prepared you’ll be for a variety of outcomes. Make contingency plans. Allow for uncertainty. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You can’t wait for something to be over, but don’t let the anticipation rob you of appreciation for the stage you’re in right now. The finish line is an illusory delineation. The end of this journey is the threshold of the next. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Disagreement won’t be an obstacle to progress. In fact, it’s an essential tool in improving things. Today’s disagreement has a way of balancing out errors and promoting more expansive thinking.

Bridge League’s Player of the Year in 2018. These two deals were drawn to my attention by Steve Conrad of Manhasset, Long Island. Greco (South) was the declarer in four spades. He took the first trick with dummy’s heart ace and cashed the spade ace, raising one eyebrow a millimeter when West discarded a club. How did Greco continue? The auction was artificial. North’s first four bids asked questions. In turn, South showed at least five spades and 8 points or more, 8-11 points, either 5-4-2-2 or 5-3-3-2 shape, and exactly 5=2=4=2. Outside trumps, declarer had two hearts, two diamonds and one club. So, he needed five spade tricks. After a club to his queen and West’s ace, South took the club return with dummy’s king and ruffed the club 10 in his hand -- trump trick No. 2. Declarer cashed his diamond ace, played a heart to the king, led a diamond to his king THE SPLIT IS BAD, (East playing his queen) and exited with a diamond.

Roker will return for Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — Al Roker will be back at “Today� in time for Thanksgiving. The iconic morning show host told his cohosts Tuesday that he’ll be back at NBC studios next week after undergoing surgery to remove his prostate after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Roker, a staple of the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, said he’ll be back on the air Monday and will be front and center for Thursday’s broadcast of the parade. “We’re not out of the woods . . . but for a first start, this is terrific,� Roker told Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb live on air. The 66 -year-old Queens native announced
on Nov. 6 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which he said Tuesday had shown up in a routine exam. He went under the knife last week at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan and had his prostate removed. “The prognosis at this point in time, based on how the surgery went and based on his pathology report, everything looks very favorable,� the hospital’s Dr. Vincent Laudone told “Today.� Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Thanksgiving parade will be geared toward TV audiences. Instead, Macy’s famous giant balloons will all gather in the Herald Square area for the broadcast. The parade begins at 9 a.m. on NBC.

From Page One Air National Guard units from across the country, including air squadrons from Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Washington state, Florida and elsewhere. The Pentagon did not identify which units would be returning home. A senior defense official told reporters the decision was made to keep some forces in both countries to support continued negotiations with the Taliban, a political settlement in Afghanistan and continued U.S. operations in Syria. “At this point we are not going to zero,” the official said. Both force cut levels will be completed by Jan. 15, the official said. At the White House, national security adviser Robert O’Brien said the remaining forces would be used to protect the embassies and ongoing U.S. military operations in both countries. “Those troops will defend our embassies and the other agencies of the U.S. government doing important work for this country,” O’Brien said. “They’ll defend our diplomats and deter our foes. By May, it is President Trump’s hope that they will all come home safely and in their entirety.” Br inging troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan, and ending America’s 19-year-old “endless wars” has been a rare area where major veterans groups who supported Trump, such as the Concerned Veterans for America, or CVA, and those who supported President-elect Joe Biden, such as VoteVets, have

Spering has said during past meetings that defying the state is not a workable solution to the county’s problems because of the potential loss of millions in Covid-19 relief funding.

Forward Operating Base Lightning, a U.S. Army base in eastern Afghanistan, has been abandoned. joined forces to lobby on the issue. Both groups voiced their support for the decision, with some reservations. CVA Executive Director Nate Anderson said the drawdown should include all the troops, not just some of them. “This will be the 20th holiday season U.S. forces have spent in Afghanistan away from their families,” Anderson said in a letter that CVA sent to the White House on Monday. “We urge you to fully withdraw American troops from Afghanistan by the end of January 2021.” The reductions would leave forces in Afghanistan at the lowest level since military operations began there in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks and the White House made the decision without consulting Congress, a senior Republican lawmaker said Tuesday. “I have received no explanation at this point on what the administration plans to do as far as reducing troops in various parts of the world,” said Rep. Mac Thornberry, R- Texas, the highestFire Department and Police Department to best ensure the safety of those being housed, with minimal impacts on the surrounding community, the city reports. The matter had been scheduled for a previous City Council meeting but was tabled because both Mayor Harry Price and Councilwoman Catherine Moy were not present due to health issues.

ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., lost both her legs in Iraq in 2004 when the Black Hawk helicopter she was piloting was hit by a rocket. She said the decision to withdraw “needs to be carefully planned and safely executed, but instead Trump and his newly installed, unconfirmed lackeys at the Pentagon are undercutting our long-standing allies, potentially dooming the peace process and putting our remaining troops at greater risk.” Duckworth is often mentioned as a possible candidate to serve in Biden’s Cabinet, possibly as secretary of defense or veterans affairs. VoteVets senior adviser Will Fischer, also an Iraq veteran, said making this decision so close to a transition to the Biden administration without involving the new administration creates risk for the troops still on the ground. “Drawing down our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan is a positive step,

but doing so without full coordination with the incoming administration is extremely dangerous,” Fischer said. “It will be the Biden administration that will need to manage the new troop levels, and it is essential they are fully looped in on this process.” Brown University’s Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs has monitored the economic and medical costs of both wars for years. It estimates that the United States will have spent more than $6.4 trillion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan when lifetime medical needs for the veterans who served there are included. According to Defense Department casualty reports, as of Nov. 2, 311 U.S. military service members have been killed in Afghanistan since operations began; 4,492 were killed in Iraq through the end of combat operations there in 2011. Another 99 military personnel have died since the U.S. military returned to Iraq in 2014 and expanded operations into Syria to defeat the Islamic State group.
The report concluded there was no wrongdoing on Joseph’s part. Cantrell noted in her report that it would be available at the Fairfield Police Department website for the public to review the findings. A number of protestors were subsequently arrested on suspicion of
unlawfully interrupting a City Council meeting, Cantrell said. Vice Mayor Pam Bertani questioned why were they arrested. “They were allowed to speak and then asked to leave, lawfully as (a) lawful order; they refused to leave, refused to allow (the) meeting to continue,” City Manager Stefan Chatwin said. The meeting continued after skipping over several items of business on the agenda.
has been formed to “document all past, present and future usurpations of our God-given rights by this body and will not hesitate to take legal action if necessary.” Allen read the hannigan mission statement of the committee, which contends the Board of Supervisors has failed to act on their complaints, and claims members of the board have mocked those who spering have raised concerns about the loss of personal and civil rights during the novel coronavirus pandemic. “I can’t believe the public rolls over and says, ‘OK, do more to me,’ ” George Guynn Jr. added, though he did not identify himself as a member of the committee. “If you guys can’t oppose the governor,” Guynn said, “maybe
you should let someone else.” Who is on the committee and how many members there are was not stated. D e b o r a h Horn said she has sent letters to state officials and others about her concerns with the pandemic response, but “I doubt anything I’ve sent has been read.” She also wants the county, and the board specifically, to give more credit to those residents who do work not to spread the coronavirus. “Obviously, there are a lot of people doing the right thing and I think they need applause,” Horn said. Andraya Coulter opened the public comment part of the meeting by saying “good science is being suppressed” by the “med-
ical-political system,” and repeated another concern raised by opponents of the pandemic response. “Fear is the most powerfully manipulated emotion,” said Coulter, who likened that fear to that created and used by Nazi Germany, the Bolsheviks and other socialist movements. She also argued that the lockdown response to Covid-19 is resulting in more suicides, higher incidents of domestic violence and other negative outcomes – issues that have been raised by county staff in the past as well. “People are losing everything under this (pandemic),” Coulter said. All those at the meeting who had refused to wear face coverings did wear the shields, masks or their own coverings during the meeting. The county beefed up its security presence at the meeting.
653, up from 612 Monday, the county reported. Vallejo had 40 new cases added to its total, now at 2,905, while the 39 new cases in Fairfield took that city’s count to 2,842.

Most people who have Covid-19 experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, espe-
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.

Suisun honors Segala, Hobson for service Amy Maginnis-Honey
amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net
SUISUN CITY — While Mike Segala did not seek re-election to the City Council this year, he said he will attend council meetings as an audience member in the future. Segala served on the council for almost 30 years. He, along with retiring City Clerk Linda Hobson, who has served the city for 20 years, were honored at Tuesday’s council meeting. Segala noted he will sit with George Guynn and Steve Olry, who both offer public comments

at the meetings. “I’ll have some hard questions,” Segala said. “You look marvelous,” Segala told Hobson, who was honored first. Hobson earned praise for her efforts to keep the city
clerk position an elected one, rather than appointed. Anita Skinner was voted city clerk earlier this month. City Councilwoman Jane Day noted she has known Hobson, who plans to travel, for many years. Mayor Pro Tem Wanda Williams thanked Hobson for helping make her role on the council, “easy and enjoyable.” Hobson said she’s worked for 57 years, 31 of them with Suisun City. Segala was lauded for all the years he served the city. Councilman Anthony Adams
pointed out Segala’s attention to detail in the council agendas. Day said losing Segala on the council was a “big, big mistake.” Hobson reminded Segala of the times he asked to put campaign signs in her yard. She had to decline because of serving as city clerk. “I was ready to let you put up a sign this year,” she said. “Then you quit.” Segala reflected on his years serving the city from a volunteer firefighter to mayor pro tem. The City Council took a brief break to celebrate with cupcakes and sparkling cider.
Georgia recount won’t replace official results Tribune Content Agency ATLANTA — Georgia election officials said Tuesday they no longer intend to make the results of the state’s manual recount the official tally in the presidential race. The decision leaves little chance for election results to change much after the recount concludes Wednesday. Joe Biden led President Donald Trump by 14,000 votes, according to unofficial results. The change came after lawyers for the secretary of state’s office reviewed Georgia law and concluded that the new hand count shouldn’t replace the original machine count of scanned ballots, said Gabriel Sterling, the state’s voting system manager. The recount, ordered by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger last week, is moving forward under a law calling for the first statewide audit of an election. “The whole intent of the audit is to verify the results we already saw,” Sterling said. “We thought we were going to go down a path and then we kind of rethought it and said, ‘You know, the more legally stable way to do this is to do it this way.’”

Election workers in Fulton County during a recount of ballots in Atlanta, Georgia, Saturday. If the audit uncovers serious discrepancies, as it did when 2,600 new ballots were found in Floyd County on Monday, county election officials will redo their original machine counts and then report a new total that will become a part of the official count. The new ballots discovered in Floyd County in northwest Georgia will reduce Trump’s deficit to 13,378, Sterling said. The audit is intended to verify which candidate won rather than determine a perfect vote count, he said. Marilyn Marks, an election
integrity advocate who is suing the state over the security of Georgia’s voting machines, said the audit isn’t a meaningful or valid recount. “It is a real shame that they put everyone through this madeup, all-in-one process that they knew from the very beginning could never be an all-in-one process,” Marks said. “This was a farce.” The results of the audit will be released after it’s completed by a Wednesday night deadline. Raffensperger has said the manual count has closely matched original counts so far,
but some counties haven’t finished their hand tabulations yet. There could be another recount after this one concludes. Georgia law gives candidates a right to a recount if they lost by less than 0.5% and request a recount within two business days after Raffensperger certifies the election, which state law requires him to do by Friday. A second recount would be conducted by rescanning ballots through computers, and it would become the official count if the original tally was incorrect.

Trump fires agency head who vouched for vote security Tribune Content Agency President Donald Trump axed the country’s top cybersecurity official Tuesday in retaliation for the tech whiz repeatedly debunking his false accusations of voter fraud in the 2020 election. The outgoing president announced the firing of Chris Krebs over Twitter, specifically citing a statement about the safety of the election issued by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency director. “The recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive impropr ieties and fraud,” Trump tweeted. “Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebshas been terminated.” quickly T witter labeled Trump’s missive as “disputed” since there’s no evidence to suggest the election was plagued by fraud or other irregularities. Despite Trump’s newfound dislike for Krebs, he handpicked him in 2018 to lead CISA,
which falls under the Department of Homeland Security. Krebs did not shed any tears after being canned by Trump. “Honored to serve. We did it right. Defend Today, Secure Tomorrow. #Protect2020,” Krebs tweeted from his personal account shortly after Trump’s announcement. Krebs first drew Trump’s ire after issuing a statement last week affirming that the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history.” “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” Krebs said in the statement, adding that a record-breaking number of Americans safely cast ballots despite the raging Covid-19 pandemic. Krebs’ firing comes on the heels of Trump booting Defense Secretary Mark Esper and a handful of other senior Pentagon officials last week as he seeks to shake up the government before leaving office on Jan. 20.

Senate lacks votes to advance Shelton Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell sought to steer a controversial nominee for the Federal Reserve through some Republican opposition and the absence of members of his conference Tuesday, but fell short of the votes he needed. As a result of Tuesday’s 47-50 procedural vote, Judy Shelton, President Donald Trump’s nominee to join the Fed board, didn’t receive the simple majority needed to end debate and advance to a confirmation vote. McConnell, R-Ky., voted against the procedural move, thus reserving his right to call it back up. Shelton’s unorthodox economic views managed to unite opponents from across the political spectrum. Several Republican senators, progressives such as Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusettsand Sherrod Brown of Ohio, and economists at the American Enterprise Institute, a free-market group, and the National Review editorial board all said she had no business getting confirmed to the Fed. Retiring Republican Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas cast his vote for ending debate on Shelton after telling reporters earlier Tuesday he was still undecided and “a little troubled” by her unorthodox views. More than 100 economists, including seven Nobel laureates, signed a letter to the Senate urging them to vote no. Conservatives, liberals, libertarians and leftists alike have said she would be a bad Fed governor. Shelton is seen as a particularly partisan pick for an apolitical post. She

Judy Shelton testifies before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee during a hearing on their nomination to be member-designate on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., Feb. 13. lambasted the Fed’s loose monetary policy in the wake of the 2008 recession, when Barack Obama was president, only to reverse position when Trump took office, attacking the central bank for not lowering rates even further in a period of strong, sustained economic growth. Critics feared she would work to support whatever monetary policy that helped Republicans politically, rather than balancing pro-employment low rates against the risk of rising inflation. Shelton also spent decades advocating a return to the gold standard or a similar system that would peg the dollar to an index of commodities. Economists warn that would impair the dollar’s stability and limit the Fed’s ability to respond to economic downturns, like the one the nation finds itself currently in. Shelton has also disparaged the Fed’s independence from the White House and proposed a monetary union with Mexico and Canada akin to the eurozone – two unpopular stances with mainstream economists.
“I am not convinced that she supports the independence of the Federal Reserve Board as much as I believe the Board of Governors should,” Sen. Lamar Alexander, R- Tenn. said in a press release Monday. “I don’t want to turn over management of the money supply to a Congress and a President who can’t balance the federal budget.” Republican Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Susan Collins of Maine had earlier said they would vote against her. But the opposition to Shelton was dealt a blow last week when Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said she would support her. Murkowski helped sink Trump’s last two controversial Fed nominees, Herman Cain and Stephen Moore. Shelton might have survived that opposition, but Republican Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and Charles E. Grassley of Iowa went into quarantine this week because of exposure to Covid-19. Alexander’s absence from Washington during the vote left the count unclear as the voting started. Roberts added to the suspense by saying
he was undecided shortly before the vote. Senate Democratic Whip Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., asked Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., the vice president-elect, to hurry back to Washington for the vote. McConnell’s task was complicated further by other difficulties ahead. Mark Kelly, the Democrat who won an Arizona seat in a special election, will arrive in early December, reducing the Republican majority. Shelton was nominated alongside Christopher Waller, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Waller has bipartisan support, and, if confirmed, his term would run into 2030. Some Shelton opponents have tempered their disapproval by noting that she would be just one vote out of the seven Fed governors and twelve Federal Open Market Committee members, who set interest rates. But in order for the Fed to set up emergency lending facilities – like the 13 they established this year to calm Covid-wracked credit markets – five Governors must vote affirmatively. Given that Fed vacancies can last months, opponents like Sam Bell, policy director at Employ America, a left-wing think tank focused on monetary and fiscal policy, fear it would give Shelton a veto on these economy-saving measures during a subsequent financial crisis. Before her nomination to the Fed, Trump picked Shelton to be the U.S. director of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The Senate confirmed her by a voice vote in March 2018.

NFL Power Rankings: ‘Tua Time’ Dolphins, miracle Cards move up; Saints hang on B2 Wednesday, November 18, 2020 SECTION B Paul Farmer . Sports Editor . 427.6926
Shanahan ‘expects’ Garoppolo to start in 2021 Tribune Content Agency SANTA CLARA — When it comes to Jimmy Garoppolo’s 49ers future, there are two time periods to consider. First is this season’s remaining six games. Coach Kyle Shanahan is “holding out hope” Garoppolo returns from an ankle injury fro the final few, so long as the 49ers (4-6) rally enough to “come back for a reason.” More pertinent to the 49ers’ long-term outlook
is whether Garoppolo will return in 2021, with a $24 million salary in each of the final two seasons of his contract. Shanahan endorsed that but did not guarantee Garoppolo a job, nor anyone else, for that matter. “I mean, I expect Jimmy to be our starter,” Shanahan said of next season. “I expect him to come play with us this year. We have six games left. We are not out of the playoffs yet.
“I’ve been on a team that was 3-6 going into the bye week that ended up winning their division. We have guys on this team capable of finishing this the right way. I hope Jimmy can come back and be a part of it.” Shanahan was Washington’s offensive coordinator in 2012 under his father, Mike, when a seven-game win streak after the bye produced the NFC East title, before a wild-card playoff loss.
But back to Garoppolo’s 2021 fate . . . “To think we’ve made any decisions on anybody going into the future isn’t the case,” Shanahan added. “Jimmy’s won a lot of games for us, and it’s a lot harder when he’s not here. Just hoping we can get him back.” After two weeks of rest, Garoppolo has freed himself from an orthopedic boot on his right ankle, which he originally sprained Sept. 20 against
the New York Jets and then did a worse number on Nov. 1 at Seattle. Meanwhile, Nick Mullens remains the 49ers’ replacement starter, and Shanahan said he has no designs on rotating Mullens with C.J. Beathard throughout games, but if that does happen, it’s “not a pivotal discussion” as they’re merely “trying to hold down the fort.”
Post-bye returns Running back Raheem
M o s t e r t (a n k l e), wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf ) are expected to return from extended absences and play in the 49ers’ next game, Nov. 29 against the host Los Angeles Rams. “That’s stuff is going to help big. That’s some juice we need,” Shanahan said. “But we also don’t have much room for error with where our record is. See Shanahan, Page B2

contract), it’s unlikely that they have enough assets to actually entice Milwaukee. The Bucks just traded away three first-round picks and two first-round draft swaps for Holiday. Now, the combo guard is a nice player and fringe All-Star, but that’s a preposterous price. It should also be noted that the Blazers sent two first-round picks to Houston on Monday for Robert Covington, who, again is a nice player, but not one I believe has ever been in the conversation for making the All-Star Game. I understand that the

t was fun while it lasted, but the Warriors have to let the dream go. Giannis Antetokounmpo is not coming to Golden State. The Bucks agreed to two big trades Monday night, acquiring Jrue Holiday from the Pelicans and Bogdan Bogdanovic from the Kings. Both moves sent a clear signal to Giannis: We’re in it to win it. We’ll see if they convince him to sign a supermax extension before the season, but it’s certainly looking more likely.
ANALYSIS Regardless, the trades also sent a clear message to the rest of the NBA: The Bucks aren’t trading their superstar. If Giannis exits Milwaukee, the Bucks franchise is going down with him. And if he leaves, he’s exiting via free agency, which means the Warriors – who will be cap-strapped until the end of the Stephen Curry era – are no longer a realistic landing spot. Even if the Warriors were to attempt to trade for Giannis (pending his pass on that supermax
Bucks and Blazers are desperate, but if that’s the going rate on those players, you have to double it – at the very least – for Giannis. Inflation is no friend of the Warriors here. There’s also a general misconception of how much draft capital the Warriors have moving forward. Golden State has its own first-round picks in the next three years and Minnesota’s first-round pick next season, but not all of those picks are moveable because of that pesky Stepien Rule, See Dream, Page B10
The coaches and players may change and one team has even repeatedly changed cities. Over the years, there have been brawls and punches thrown and playoff berths denied. Now, a bus has entered the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders rivalry. It seems that, after the Raiders rolled into K.C. and beat the Chiefs 40-32 on Oct. 11, their bus took a victory lap in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot before heading for the airport. On Sunday night, the teams will meet again, this time in Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium. Kansas City, with that loss the only blemish on their record after nine games, has a nice lead in the AFC West, one that the Raiders, at 6-3, hope to cut into. That little jaunt became a hot topic Monday. Chiefs Coach Andy Reid, 12-3 against the Raiders since becoming the Kansas City coach in 2013, tried to play down the significance of

When it’s time to announce the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft Wednesday night, draft experts expect commissioner Adam Silver to introduce James Wiseman as the newest member of the Golden State Warriors. A check of 10 different mock drafts shows they’re mostly in agreement that Wiseman, an extremely athletic 7-foot-1 center who played just three collegiate games for Memphis, makes the most sense for the Warriors. Of course, longtime Warriors followers could tell you a story about the last time Golden State had a draft pick this high and chose the guy who made the most sense. That was 25 years ago, when the Warriors went the safe
route and picked Maryland’s Joe Smith with the No. 1 overall pick. It didn’t take long for them to regret passing on Kevin Garnett, Rasheed Wallace or Jerry Stackhouse. The 19-year-old Wiseman, who said this week he’d be thrilled to join the Warriors, would become just the fourth teenager ever to play for Golden State – joining Andris Biedrins (18), Anthony Randolph (19) and Kevon Looney (19). Here’s a look at what the experts are predicting will happen when the Warriors draft Wednesday: CBS SPORTS: JAMES WISEMAN, C (MEMPHIS). Reasoning behind it: “I’ve gone back and forth on whether the Warriors should, and will, select Anthony Edwards or James Wiseman — if they even execute this pick. For now, I’ll go with Wiseman, a physical specimen who also fills an obvious need.” (Gary Parrish, CBS).
SB NATION: ANTHONY EDWARDS, G (GEORGIA). Reasoning behind it: “Golden State feels like the best possible place for Edwards to develop. He could contribute wing minutes off the bench in the short-term without the burden of being expected to carry the franchise early in his career. If any team can rewire the bad habits that occasionally sabotage Edwards’ all-world physicality simply by making the game easier on him, it’s the Warriors.” (Ricky O’Donnell, SB Nation). THE RINGER: WISEMAN. Reasoning behind it: “There is no better place for Wiseman to address his weaknesses than Golden State. During the early stages of his NBA career, Wiseman could fill the rim-running, rim-protecting role that JaVale McGee played for years, but he’d hopefully evolve into much more once his shot creation and floor awareness improve. The Warriors would love to find a trade down to select a wing. (Wiseman) has shades of a mild-mannered Rasheed Wallace, high-energy Hassan Whiteside.” (Kevin O’Connor, The Ringer).

NBA draft experts agree on who Warriors will take at No. 2
the victory lap. “Listen, they won the game, so they can do anything they want to do,” Reid told reporters Monday. “They ended up winning the game. That’s not our style, but we’ll get ourselves back, ready to play. That’s where we’re at.” Reid was asked if he thought it was difficult to beat a team twice in a season and, after saying no, he had a little jab. “I think they (must) or they wouldn’t have driven the bus around the stadium.” Reid’s teams had taken five straight games (and four by double digits) from the Raiders before the October loss and he admitted that the rivalry is, well, special. “It’s two good football teams playing each other,” Reid said. “I don’t think either team likes the other that much, as they’ve stated before.” Gruden broke out the facial expressions that earned him the nickname “Chucky,” after the horror-film character, when he was asked about whether that bus
Tara VanDerveer had the best line during Pac-12 women’s basketball media day. As usual. “I’ve talked to our team about, in terms of how to best approach this: ‘Everyone’s middle name is flexible,’” the Stanford head coach said Tuesday to open her 36th season on The Farm and her first that included a virtual media day. “We just have to be ready to do whatever we’re allowed to do and enjoy each day, one day at a time.” Welcome to the Pac-12 in 2020-21, a season that promises to provide the nation’s most elite competition among teams stacked with talent – even as the face of the sport last season, M iramonte- Or inda alum Sabrina Ionescu, headed for the WNBA – if the games actually are
played during the coronavirus pandemic. On Tuesday, Alameda and Santa Clara counties moved back into the state’s purple tier, the most restrictive category. Cal head coach Charmin Smith and VanDerveer said their programs, already dealing with in protocols, haven’t had any new restrictions with the county setbacks. So far. No one knows if nonconference play really will be able to start next Wednesday or if the Pac-12 will be able to successfully transition to a 22-game, double-roundrobin schedule that is slated to span 12 weeks (Dec. 4 to March 1), with the Pac-12 tournament scheduled for March 4-7 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

NFL POWER RANKINGS: WEEK 11
‘Tua Time’ Dolphins, miracle Cards move up; Saints hang on Mark Maske
THE WASHINGTON POST
Each week during the NFL season, The Washington Post’s Mark Maske ranks the 32 teams. This week, the Steelers stay at No. 1 with their easy triumph over the Bengals. The idle Chiefs keep the second spot. The Saints remain third but now must play without Drew Brees. The Dolphins and Cardinals move into the top 10, replacing the Titans and Seahawks. 1. PITTSBURGH STEELERS (9-0) Last week’s rank: 1 Ben Roethlisberger threw four TD passes after spending five days in quarantine as a high-risk close contact and not rejoining the Steelers on the practice field until Saturday. It’s the latest evidence not to listen to any NFL coach who drones on about the need for a good week of practice. 2. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (8-1) Last week’s rank: 2 The Chiefs were busy Monday as they emerged from their bye week by announcing contact extensions for Coach Andy Reid and GM Brett Veach and placing offensive tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz on their covid-19 reserve list. The immediate post-bye schedule is interesting with consecutive road games at Las Vegas and Tampa Bay. 3. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (7-2) Last week’s rank: 3 Just when everything was coming together for the Saints, Drew Brees exited Sunday’s triumph over the 49ers with rib injuries that, along with a collapsed lung, reportedly will keep him sidelined for several weeks. The QB duties now fall to Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill. Coach Sean Payton probably can patch things together temporarily with that duo, just as he made things work last season with Teddy Bridgewater filling in for Brees. But the Saints need Brees healthy and back in the lineup down the stretch. 4. GREEN BAY PACKERS (7-2) Last week’s rank: 6 The Packers struggled Sunday at Lambeau Field against the lowly Jaguars. Punter JK Scott was ridiculed for his tackle non-attempt on the 91-yard TD by Jacksonville returner Keelan Cole. But at least the Packers found a way to win. Everyone can just relax and move on. 5. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (7-3) Last week’s rank: 8 Can Tom Brady keep all his receivers happy? He targeted Mike Evans 11 times, Antonio Brown eight and Chris Godwin six in Sunday’s big win over the Panthers. So all was fine, it seemed, this week. But it could be a delicate balance. Brown’s latest offfield issue, meanwhile, did not result in criminal charges but raises further questions about his status with the team and the league. 6. MIAMI DOLPHINS (6-3) Last week’s rank: 11 The Dolphins are thriving with three straight wins since Coach Brian Flores’s switch to Tua Tagovailoa at QB and five consecutive victories overall. Tagovailoa won Sunday’s rookie-QB duel with Justin Herbert,
and the Dolphins have every reason to believe they’re capable of overtaking the Bills and winning the AFC East. 7. ARIZONA CARDINALS (6-3) Last week’s rank: 12 Everything about the winning Hail Mary touchdown was fantastic, from Kyler Murray’s throw to DeAndre Hopkins’s catch. Stop debating whether the throw or the catch was better. They were both tremendous. But there’s little time for the Cardinals to savor it, with the quick turnaround for Thursday’s meeting with the Seahawks. That’s a rematch of another dramatic Cards triumph this season. 8. BALTIMORE RAVENS (6-3) Last week’s rank: 4 The Ravens didn’t handle the sloppy conditions well Sunday night in Foxborough, Mass. The offense still doesn’t resemble last season’s dominant version. The Ravens are left playing for a wild-card spot, with their AFC North deficit to the Steelers now three games. The loss of TE Nick Boyle to a season-ending knee injury could be a bigger loss than many realize. 9. BUFFALO BILLS (7-3) Last week’s rank: 5 Stefon Diggs’s superb TD catch looked like it was going to give the Bills a dramatic victory in Arizona. But the Cardinals one-upped the Bills for drama with their magical play. 10. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (6-3) Last week’s rank: 10 The Raiders are formidable. Coach Jon Gruden has them back to contender status. Can they actually match up with the AFC heavyweights? They already have a win over the Chiefs, and the rematch comes Sunday night in Vegas. 11. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (6-3) Last week’s rank: 13 The defense is legitimate, and there are some effective play-makers around QB Philip Rivers on offense. He doesn’t need to be a Pro Bowl-level player. If he can just manage the game and limit mistakes, the Colts can be tough to beat. 12. TENNESSEE TITANS (6-3) Last week’s rank: 7 The special-teams breakdowns that led to Thursday night’s loss to the Colts must be addressed. It’s particularly galling to lose an important game that way. The Titans are struggling, with three losses in four games. But there’s no time to brood. They play at Baltimore this Sunday before heading to Indianapolis for the rematch with the Colts a week later. 13. LOS ANGELES RAMS (6-3) Last week’s rank: 14 The Seahawks were the attention-grabbing team in the NFC West early in the season. Now that distinction belongs to the Cardinals. But the Rams just might find a way to emerge as the division winner. The absence of left tackle Andrew Whitworth with a knee injury could be significant, though. 14. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (6-3) Last week’s rank: 9 Few are talking about Russell Wilson as top league MVP contender at this point. The Seahawks are unraveling, with losses in two straight and three of four games. The Thursday night game against the Cardinals
feels rather important. 15. CLEVELAND BROWNS (6-3) Last week’s rank: 15 It was a strange Sunday in Cleveland, from the weather delay at the outset to the 3-0 score entering the fourth quarter to Nick Chubb running out of bounds at the 1-yard line to allow the Browns to run out the clock. But the Browns and their fans weren’t about to complain about the oddities of a win. It was, after all, still a win. 16. MINNESOTA VIKINGS (4-5) Last week’s rank: 21 Kirk Cousins finally got his first victory in 10 tries on “Monday Night Football” and the Vikings are on a three-game winning streak. Rookie WR Justin Jefferson looks like the real deal. He and Adam Thielen give the Vikings a productive WR duo to complement the running of Dalvin Cook. This never should have been a 1-5 team. 17. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (4-5) Last week’s rank: 22 There’s still a long way to go for the Patriots to put this season back together. But the win over the Ravens was impressive and undoubtedly gratifying. Don’t ever give up on a Bill Belichick-coached team. Cam Newton played well, and RB Damien Harris remained productive. 18. DETROIT LIONS (4-5) Last week’s rank: 24 The Lions squandered a big lead at home against Washington but were bailed out by Matt Prater’s long field goal, just when some were wondering what such a crushing defeat would mean for Coach Matt Patricia’s job security. 19. ATLANTA FALCONS (3-6) Last week’s rank: 19 The Falcons, returning from their bye, become the first team to face the Drew Brees-less Saints. They play Sunday at the Superdome and the Falcons surely sense an upset is possible, given their improved level of play just before the bye. 20. NEW YORK GIANTS (3-7) Last week’s rank: 26 It’s entirely possible that the Giants are the NFC East’s best team. That’s not saying very much at all. But the Giants and their fans will probably take it at this point. QB Daniel Jones was reliable with his no-turnover performance in the victory over the Eagles. 21. CHICAGO BEARS (5-5) Last week’s rank: 17 The offense was no better with coordinator Bill Lazor calling the plays than it had been with Coach Matt Nagy as the play-caller. The loss Monday night to the Vikings leaves the Bears with four straight losses and a .500 record entering their bye. Nick Foles’s injury could leave Nagy turning back to Mitchell Trubisky at QB after the bye, provided that Trubisky’s shoulder injury has healed. 22. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (4-6) Last week’s rank: 18 The injuries have taken their toll and there’s simply no way for the 49ers to salvage much from this season, with the depleted lineup they’re now putting on the field. 23. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (3-5-1) Last week’s rank: 16 So much for the notion that the
Eagles would emerge from their bye healthier and ready to provide the NFC East with a somewhat respectable division winner. The loss to the Giants was a huge step backward and there’s no longer any reason to suspect that the Eagles are anything other than just another NFC East lightweight. 24. CINCINNATI BENGALS (2-6-1) Last week’s rank: 20 The Bengals are a greatly improved team this season with rookie Joe Burrow at QB. It just didn’t look that way Sunday against the Steelers. 25. DENVER BRONCOS (3-6) Last week’s rank: 23 Drew Lock had a four-interception calamity in Sunday’s loss to the Raiders and now his playing status is questionable because of a muscle strain around his ribs. Things are not exactly looking up for the would-be solution to Denver’s longstanding QB issues. 26. CAROLINA PANTHERS (3-7) Last week’s rank: 25 The Panthers are reeling with five straight losses and are dealing with injuries to their two most important offensive players, QB Teddy Bridgewater and RB Christian McCaffrey. The outlook has turned decidedly gloomy in Coach Matt Rhule’s first season. 27. HOUSTON TEXANS (2-7) Last week’s rank: 27 It’s not like the Texans needed DeAndre Hopkins or anything. It sure is a good thing they traded him away, isn’t it? Is Bill O’Brien eligible to be named NFL executive of the year for what he did to build the Cardinals’ roster? 28. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (2-7) Last week’s rank: 28 At least the Chargers, this time, didn’t lose in stomach-churning fashion in the game’s final seconds. But they still lost. 29. WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (2-7) Last week’s rank: 29 Alex Smith put up big numbers in Detroit, and his personal story remains remarkable. But can you really rebuild around a 36-year-old QB? Can you really say that you haven’t given up on a young QB that you’re not playing when you’re 2-7? Perhaps the new regime should have taken Tua Tagovailoa on draft night if it was so unconvinced about Dwayne Haskins’s potential to be a franchise QB. 30. DALLAS COWBOYS (2-7) Last week’s rank: 30 The Cowboys return from their bye week because, well, the NFL pretty much requires that they play the rest of their schedule. 31. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (1-8) Last week’s rank: 31 The Jaguars made things interesting against the Packers even with rookie QB Jake Luton struggling. That qualifies as a highlight for the Jaguars at this point. 32. NEW YORK JETS (0-9) Last week’s rank: 32 The Jets didn’t fire Coach Adam Gase on their bye week and return to play the tough-luck Chargers on Sunday in L.A. Joe Flacco gets another start at QB as Sam Darnold remains sidelined by his shoulder injury.
Shanahan: Hasty put on Injured Reserve From Page B1 So I can’t count on those guys just to come in and change everything.” Shanahan also hopes to welcome back running back Tevin Coleman (knee) and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring) to face the Rams. Running back Jeff Wilson (ankle) and l i n eb a cker M a r k Nzeocha (quadriceps) are more likely to come back against Buffalo ( Dec. 7, Levi’s Stadium). Cornerback K’Waun Williams (ankle) is still slated to miss multiple games, along with Garoppolo, tight end George Kittle (foot fracture) and center Ben Garland (calf). Added to the Injured Reserve list Tuesday were running back JaMycal Hasty (collar
bone) and safeties Johnathan Cyprien (hamstring) and Jared Mayden (quadriceps; practice squad).
Covid-19 alerts Defensive lineman Arik Armstead’s addition to the NFL’s Covid-19 reserve list Monday prompted the 49ers to do a thorough tracing of potential highrisk contacts. Considering he played 40 snaps Sunday and flew home with the team from New Orleans, the contact tracing is quite important, and no contacts were identified or announced by the club as of Tuesday afternoon. With the 49ers under the N F L’s extreme Covid-19 protocol for a second straight week, and because this is a bye week, Shanahan opted to delay their light workouts to Friday
and Saturday. The team used video conferences to review film Tuesday from Sunday’s loss at New Orleans.
Extra points n Of all their 41 pending free agents, left tackle Trent Williams might be the 49ers’ most important. Shanahan wants to retain him while acknowledging salary cap economics make for tough calls. “I know Trent is very important to me and our team and someone I want around here for a while,” said Shanahan, whose 49ers made a draft-day trade to acquire Williams in the final year of his contract. n Linebacker Kiko Alonso won’t make his 49ers debut in the remaining games.
Acquired in a trade from New Orleans for a fifthround draft pick and linebacker Kwon Alexander, Alonso did not practice last week with the 49ers and thus a three-week practice window expired on activating him off the physically-unable-to-perform list (knee). The 31-year-old Los Gatos native is a pending free agent. n The 49ers again will attempt to claim defensive end Takkarist McKinley off waivers. The Kennedy High-Richmond product failed his physical with the Cincinnati Bengals, who previously claimed him off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons. McKinley was a 2017 first-round draft pick out of UCLA and has 17½ career sacks.

Chiefs: Unhappy From Page B1 trip might not fire up the Chiefs. “Not really. I mean, you can find a smart-aleck bus driver in Kansas City who made some snide comments when we got on the bus,” he told reporters. “Maybe that’s why we drove around the stadium, to tick him off. You know, this is ridicu-
lous. Next question.” Until Oct. 11, the Raiders hadn’t won in Kansas City since 2012, so maybe you can’t blame them. Besides, Gruden has them on a threegame winning streak. As for the Chiefs, a win on “Sunday Night Football” would be a nice boost toward winning their fifth straight AFC West championship.

Have a safe, socially distanced Thanksgiving
This week’s question: When should President Trump concede to former VP Biden?
“The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term, is the indispensable prerequisite for success.” — Brian Tracy
t’s a pathetic disservice to our nation that our childish president is too much of a sore loser to acknowledge he lost the election and provide a proper transition to a Biden administration. It’s made worse because we’re in the middle of an out-of-control pandemic. Covid-19 has killed nearly 250,000 Americans and infected more than a million Californians. The majority of counties in the state are at the widespread purple tier. The virus causes heart and lung damage and may even cause psychological issues. It’s more deadly and contagious than the flu. And having overwhelmed hospitals, it endangers heart attack and stroke victims as well as anyone who needs critical care. The good news is that PfizKelvin Wade er’s vaccine is said to be more than 90% effective and this week Moderna announced its vaccine is 94.5% effective. The only way to distribute these vaccines quickly and effectively is if the Trump administration does its job and works with the incoming Biden administration to facilitate it. But in the meantime, it’s up to us to continue fighting Covid-19 even when most of us are sick and tired of a disease that has upended our lives. Our fight begins now and it starts with Thanksgiving. The California Department of Public Health has issued guidelines for private gatherings. The guidelines call for no more than three households coming together for the holiday. It recommends gatherings be held outside or if indoors, windows should be open to provide adequate ventilation. Wear a mask snugly over your nose and mouth. Practice hand hygiene. Have plenty of sanitizer available for your guests. Maintain at least 6 feet distance from those outside your household. It would be prudent if one person served the food instead of having everyone handle serving utensils. Try to keep your dinner under two hours. The longer you share confined, unmasked space with others, the greater risk there is of transmission. If you’re sick, do not attend a Thanksgiving gathering. If you’re high risk, elderly, with pre-existing conditions and/or a compromised immune system, you should not attend. I’ve heard lots of anger and resentment over the guidelines. People are angry at Gov. Gavin Newsom or resentful that the government would tell them how to behave in their own homes. For once, maybe we should focus less on our rights than our responsibilities. Spreading a virus in your home that continues to spread throughout your community isn’t your right any more than getting drunk at home and then heading out on the road is your right. Back in the day, I used to party with my friends at a house over behind Target. Then we’d all drive home drunk. I never got a DUI and never caused a collision. It was still the wrong thing to do. Your Thanksgiving spread with multiple families may go off fine and no one gets sick. But is it worth the risk to your family, friends and community? Let’s face it, we’re all weary of masks, washing hands and maintaining distance from our loved ones. I haven’t seen my brother Tony since February. I’ve seen my oldest brother Orvis once since then but only from a distance. I’m on vacation right now but right before I left I found out that my aunt has been admitted to the hospital with Covid-19. It’s no hoax. It’s no joke. There are vaccines on the horizon. There’s a new administration coming with people who will do what it takes to end this national nightmare. What we have to do is delay our gratification in service to something greater. It makes sense to postpone large gatherings to a time when it’s safer. I heard someone say that we distance now so that when we come together, no one is missing. Let’s enjoy Thanksgiving but let’s protect our community at the same time. Peace.

Note: This is National Caregivers Month The odds are very high that many of us will become a caregiver in some capacity at some time in our lives. It’s a position many of us do not apply for or are trained for. But when that time comes, we respond with care, compassion, patience and love. Caregivers are parents, relatives, friends, neighbors and even children who take the time to care for someone in need. Many of them spend countless hours with little or no compensation, giving of themselves to make the lives of others in need better. The caregiving workforce continues to grow. The Alzheimer’s Association reports in its “2020 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures” that more than 16 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementia. California alone accounts for 10% of that figure with 1.6 million caregivers. Caregiving can be a stressful and lonely situation. The Alzheimer’s Association understands this and is here to help. Every month the Vacaville North Bay Alzheimer’s Dementia Caregiver Support Group meets by phone and online to provide caregiver support. Through conversation and listening, caregivers realize they are not alone and there is help and support available. To participate, simply call 410-8839 or send an email to resourcecenter@northbay.org to
Leaders need to stop national violence This country has been stressed and challenged with an election that mobilized the greatest number of voters, far exceeding any election in the history of this county. To that end, an extremely high level of success has been realized thus far, thanks largely to state legislatures, massive numbers of volunteers and bipartisan observers across the country. Unfortunately, as the country works diligently toward successfully finalizing the vote count to deter-

mine winners, bad threatening news begins to flood social media, and the major news networks. CNN and MSNBC stated that President Donald Trump is planning for a messaging blitz, and holding rallies as used to appeal for support from his base to protest election results. Clearly, this sets the stage for violence across the country far beyond anyone’s control. Trump, and most citizens, now realize substantial numbers of armed militias, citizens, armed terrorists are anxious to exploit such an event. Moreover, they know events will likely provoke a reaction from citizens who are satisfied with the impending results as well as the process of bringing it about. Consequently, violent clashes are inevitable, which I firmly believe is the desired result wanted by the Trump followers. As in other protests, the violence will be infiltrated, sabotaged and exploited, then used to support their cause. Therefore, it’s extremely important that leaders, especially those associated with the winning sides of the elections, insist that members avoid being provoked into violent physical contact at all cost. Simply ignore rallies, and related messaging. Maintain the faith, and continue to give thanks to the extraordinary hard-working participants in this election. We certainly owe them a debt of gratitude. Robert Windham Suisun City

register for the next meeting. The Alzheimer’s Association also offers information on a variety of caregiver issues at www.alz.org. A special thanks to Rep. John Garamendi for his tireless support to find a cure for Alzheimer’s and other dementias through the legislative process. He and his wife know the difficulties of caregiving as they cared for his mother-in-law before she lost her fight with Alzheimer’s. All caregivers are important, essential and critical in providing care for others, whether it is for an injury, illness, disability, elderly or dementia. We need to remember and thank those who care for others. Caregivers are the unsung health care heroes of our homes and families.

day parties. But you can’t. He can dine on a $350 meal at one of California’s fanciest restaurants during the worst recession in generations. But you definitely can’t. Can you believe this? I can’t.” The incident also earned Newsom a tongue-lashing about “layers of bad judgment” in the Sacramento Bee, a newspaper that shares the governor’s liberal political leanings. “He just handed more ammunition to Republican leaders who have decried the state’s emergency shutdowns of restaurants, gyms and churches,” the Bee editorial said. “If the governor can eat out with friends – and if his children can attend their expensive school – why must everyone else sacrifice? “Two years into his first term, and nine months into the Covid-19 pandemic, Newsom still can’t get his act together. If Newsom can’t get his head into the game, perhaps he should make this governor thing a one-term affair and leave the job open for someone with a desire to lead.” Consider what Faulconer and the Bee said as the opening salvoes of the 2022 campaign for governor. If Newsom continues to ooze hypocritical privilege, his first term could be his last.

Fallon gives us the Trump ‘concession speech we all deserve’ Tribune Content Agency President Trump has a new speechwriter: Jimmy Fallon. On Monday’s episode of “The Tonight Show,” Fallon’s editing team devised a clever way to force Trump to deliver a concession speech after losing the election to former Vice President Joe Biden earlier this month. The president so far has refused to accept the results, falsely claiming that the outcome was influenced by fraud, without any evidence, and filing lawsuits disputing the election process in multiple states. “Even though Trump’s lawsuits keep getting tossed out, it’s clear the president is not planning to concede anytime soon,” Fallon said Monday. “So, you know what, we thought we’d do it for him and give us the concession speech that we all deserve. Take a look.” Cue a heavily edited montage strategically excerpting nuggets of truth and other out-of-context remarks from previous Trump speeches. “My fellow Americans, a short time ago, Joe Biden beat me in the election,” three different Trumps begin the video, relay-style. “And not only did he win – he won by a lot actually. Therefore, it is time for me to step aside, because let’s face it, I wasn’t probably on my game, and I wasn’t doing so well. “I’m the only president in history to lose the popular vote twice and to get impeached. It’s time for a change. Greatest dream in the world is that Joe Biden wins because the winner of this vote was decided by a fair and open election. Therefore, I humbly concede to Joe Biden. The American people have responded, and they said to me, ‘You’re fired. Bing! Get out.’ ” At press time, President-elect Biden has amassed 290 electoral votes after winning the key battleground states of Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Trump has secured 232 electoral votes. On Sunday, the president appeared to acknowledge Biden’s victory by tweeting, “He won because the Election was Rigged.” “That might be

The comedian also slammed the Trump administration for resisting cooperation with Biden’s incoming team, which will be tasked with handling the Covid-19 pandemic when Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris head to the White House in January. “As the pandemic gets worse, President Trump is making it even tougher for Presidentelect Biden to deal with the crisis,” Fallon said. “I’m really shocked by this because, up until now, Trump’s handling of the pandemic has been flawless. Seriously, why is it so hard for Trump? He’s been passing off Covid responsibilities for eight months. Why stop now?”

Kevin Hart speaks during the FX segment of the 2020 Winter TCA Tour in Pasadena, Jan. 9.
Hart’s tepid new Netflix special will satisfy no one Lorraine Ali
streaming
Los Angeles Times
T
he Netflix comedy special “Kevin Hart: Zero F – Given” came saddled with expectations that the controversial comedian would drop offensive jokes about women, the LGBTQ community or anyone else who proved an easy target in the comedy clubs of pre-”woke” America. Cancel culturists were waiting to pounce. His loyal fans and supporters were ready to defend. The trailers for the comedy special, which was shot inside his Los Angeles home, played upon that anticipation. This performance, we were promised, would have “zero filter” and “zero apologies.” “I’m no longer comfortable anywhere else but my house,” Hart says in the special, performing for a masked crowd in an intimate setting, dressed to resemble a comedy club. Hart, a Hollywood success who’s used to playing huge venues, greets his audience like friends. “I’m in my . . . comfort zone. I’m gonna let it fly today.” Letting it fly, of course, is how Hart got in trouble in the first place. Critics called for the motion picture academy to rescind its invitation for the comedian to host the 2019 Oscar ceremony after homophobic tweets Hart posted in 2011 resurfaced, and comments from his 2010 standup film, “Seriously Funny” (“As a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will”), were submitted to new scrutiny. When he declined to apologize in an Instagram post claiming that he had been pressured to do so by the academy, he was buried under a second wave of rebuke. Soon thereaf-

ter, he stepped down as host, writing, “I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.” Yet the hour-plus streaming special, which premiered Tuesday, doesn’t offer much grist for his critics – or his champions. Hart delivers a stand-up routine designed to avoid overtly bigoted and insulting material, and instead focuses on his own life, family, post-Oscar debacle and present-day Covid-19 state of mind. The show reveals a more subdued Hart who is clearly no longer willing to say anything for a laugh, meaning he really does give at least one or two f – . But is it funny? Sort of, but what he discloses about his life in the special is often more memorable than the jokes themselves. Hart has clearly been knocked back by – and perhaps even learned from – the blowback around that Oscars hosting gig. The usually frenetic and outspoken actor appears more guarded than hammy, more measured than hair-trigger, at least relative to the yelling, highpitched, bouncing-off-the-walls approach he’d previously made part of his brand. Hart even says he didn’t mind locking down at the start of the pandemic, since there was nothing he missed outside: “There’s people out there. I
don’t like people. I said it. Cat’s out of the bag. I don’t f – like people anymore. You won. You beat me up . . . ” He then turns the joke around to focus on his own paranoia. “You guys got me living my life like a successful drug dealer,” he says, claiming that he’s taken to making people who come to his house strip naked and get in the pool if they want to have a conversation. “How else would I know you’re not wearing a wire? ‘Who you with? E!? People? Who you with? Did you come here to do a story for the tabloids? I don’t trust you, Dad.’ ” He also riffs about contracting Covid-19, or “the ’Vid,” as he calls it. He says harsh things about his kids for effect. He makes fun of himself for becoming a grumpy over-40 dude whose sex game is slipping. The special kicks off with Hart hanging out with his very pregnant wife and three kids before heading down the stairs and through hallways of his huge home. He points to framed art of comedy greats like Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy and pours himself a drink at his sleek marble bar on his way to the stage. A drink cart and fireplace near the stage gave the scene a certain cozy appeal, fitting the theme. Here, Hart could let it all out. Well, up to a point. To wit, he recalls going to a pizza party at Jerry Seinfeld’s. “Italian chefs came out, passing out pieces and talking some Italian . . . ” Hart automatically begins disparagingly imitating a foreign language. Then he catches himself: “I realize what I’m saying is racist and I apologize.”

by Phillip Alder duplicate. What do you think about the auction? West’s two-no-trump advance showed four or more spades and at least game-invitational values. What happened in five diamonds doubled? What would have transpired in four spades doubled? South’s hand was a tad thin for his two-diamond response, but he liked his seventh card in the suit. East tried to silence the opponents by jumping to four spades. Good, South passed. All right, so North has doubled – no problem. Ugh, South has run to five diamonds – curses! Eventually, East decided that if this contract was making, it was going to be a near-zero; so he doubled, hoping for plus 200. Five diamonds was unbeatable. Even after a trump lead, South could have either established hearts or led his club jack to ensure two club ruffs on the board. Minus 750 was a zero to East-West, but minus 600 would have been no better. At the 12 tables in play, there were 10 different results. Most Easts played in spades, winning 10 tricks unless North obtained a club ruff after an unlikely rounded-suit lead. East-West shrugged off this result and got a top on the next board by winning one more trick than the field. COPYRIGHT: 2020, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

In brief Home Depot to buy HD Supply
In a deal worth an estimated $8 billion, Home Depot has agreed to buy HD Supply Holdings, an Atlanta-based distributor of industrial products for businesses and apartments buildings. HD Supply, which has about 5,500 employees, was originally part of Home Depot. The company was sold to several private equity firms in 2007. Six years later, the company went public. While both Home Depot and HD Supply sell to contractors and professionals, there’s relatively little overlap, said Sara Gorman, spokeswoman for Home Depot. “It’s really complementary to the MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) business that we already have in place,” she told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “MRO is a $55 billion marketplace, so the opportunity there is right.” The merger will not require Home Depot to make any cuts in HD Supply’s workforce, Gorman said. “We certainly have no plans to make any changes. The businesses will continue to operate independently.” Home Depot, with revenues of more than $112 billion a year, has more than 400,000 employees. The companies plan to complete the deal by the end of January, with Home Depot buying outstanding shares of HD Supply at $56 per share.
Mars adding Kind bars to its shelf Mars, the candy giant behind Snickers and M&Ms, on Tuesday announced plans to acquire Kind, a leading maker of fruit-and-nut bars, amid growing consumer interest in healthier snacking. Kind, founded in 2004 and based in New York, will function as a separate business under the Mars umbrella. Mars three years ago took a minority stake in Kind, helping it expand into 35 countries and into new categories including frozen and refrigerated bars and smoothie bowls. “When we began this partnership, I said it was one built on mutual admiration and a shared vision for growth,” Grant Reid, CEO of Mars, said in a news release. “After three years, you can see the impact, as together we have grown the healthy snacking category.” Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Chicago is the global headquarters of Mars Wrigley Confectionary – the world’s largest candy company–andhometoabout 1,000 Mars employees. — Tribune Content Agency
Thanksgiving week travel will push airport crowds to pandemic highs Tribune Content Agency Airports and airlines are expecting their biggest crowds since the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis next week for Thanksgiving, even as a surge in coronavirus cases hit the country and government warnings square off against the usually busy travel holiday. During the peak Thanksgiving week, American Airlines is adding about 500 flights a day, Southwest is bringing on an additional 300 flights and United Airlines is putting about 1,400 more flights on its schedule. DFW International Airport, where traffic is still down by 45% compared to last year, is expecting 1.3 million passengers to go through the airport during the busy week. The much smaller Dallas Love Field is expecting 13,000 to 15,000 passengers a day, although airport spokesman Chris Perry said SouthDallas-based west Airlines has been routing more traffic through Love Field. “We are going to be overstaffing to make sure that we don’t have any large lines during Thanksgiving and the holidays,” said Amy Williams, the federal security director for the Transportation Security Administration at Dallas Love Field. “And that way, we can tell any employees that don’t feel well to stay home.” Even the Covid-19 crisis, the biggest public health emergency in this country in a century, isn’t enough to stop people from flying this holiday season to gather with family and friends, although they will have to do it under strange and cautious circumstances. Airports in North Texas are now equipped with acrylic barriers, social distancing markers and mandatory face-covering rules. But it will be a substantially subdued travel holiday. Airline schedules are down about 40% to 45% from a year ago, even with flights added for the last week of November. AAA Texas said only 151,000 Texans are expected to fly, less than 4% of all travelers in the state. States such as California have created restrictions on how many people can get together for gatherings and how long those gatherings should be. A growing number of regions in the U.S. require quarantines for travelers coming into those areas. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is encouraging Americans to limit the number

An airport employee checks the temperature of passengers before they are allowed to board their flight of people they have over for gatherings and to have meals outside. Airlines themselves are touting studies showing the low risk of catching Covid-19 during a flight because of air filtering technologies, but carriers are still quick to toss passengers who flout the mask rules. Southwest, which has been limiting sales to keep middle seats empty, will start filling planes to capacity on Dec. 1, just after the holiday season. That follows a series of studies, many sponsored by the airline industry, that showed that the spread of Covid-19 inside planes was lower than in other public places. “When you actually look at the data that’s been collected . . . you cannot see any measurable difference in risk with the middle seat being open,” said Harvard University researcher Jack McCarthy, who put together one of the studies on airplane safety during the Covid-19 pandemic. TSA has only recorded one day so far since the beginning of the pandemic when more than 1 million passengers went through That checkpoints. Sunday, Oct. 18, was the end of fall break in many parts of the country, and DFW said more than 142,000 passengers went through the airport that day. That pandemic record will likely be broken again in the coming days with the first major travel holiday since the end of summer. Meanwhile, passengers will still have to trek through increasingly busy airports this holiday season looking for food, supplies and a place to rest before and
Best Buy partners with Instacart to offer expanded same-day delivery Tribune Content Agency Best Buy Co. is partnering with Instacart, a nationwide grocery delivery company, to offer same-day delivery of products from nearly all its Best Buy stores. Shoppers will be able to use Instacart to buy a wide range of items from Best Buy, including laptops, TVs and small appliances, Instacart said Tuesday. Best Buy has previously been making deliveries with its own employees in some markets and recently began working with Shipt, the delivery unit of Target Corp., for similar services. “As people settle into
remote work and distance learning routines, we’ve seen increased demand for the same-day delivery of electronics on our marketplace,” Chris Rogers, vice president of retail at Instacart, said in a statement. “We’re proud to partner with Best Buy – the largest consumer electronics retailer in the U.S. – to offer customers across the country a new way to get the technology products they need delivered sameday,” he said. San Francisco-based Instacart also announced a new “certified delivery feature” that gives customers a larger selection of “high-value items”
that weren’t previously available for same-day delivery, such as noise canceling headphones. The same-day delivery business has continued to grow in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Best Buy’s last quarter was its best ever in terms of online sales with online comparable sales more than tripling to $4.9 billion. Best Buy hasn’t yet released any new details on its fulfillment initiatives. The company is scheduled to report its third-quarter results next week. Target-owned Shipt has offered same-day delivery for Best Buy since September.
in between flights. About a quarter of airport eateries and retailers are still closed and some have gone out of business, while those remaining are adapting to serving more carryout meals and have closed their bars. Williams, who has directed security at Love Field for TSA for 18 years, said the Covid-19 pandemic has added a whole new set of challenges to the security agency, which was designed to stop terrorist threats, not necessarily health threats. TSA agents are now handling fewer boarding passes and photo IDs. Screening agents are
at Washington-Dulles International Airport, Nov. 10, amid the coronavirus pandemic. wearing masks and face shields and changing gloves between pat-downs. Ken Buchanan, DFW International Airport’s executive vice president for revenue management and customer experience, said the airport has posted signs, installed Plexiglass barriers and enacted other safety precautions, but warned that there are still times when people tend to gather too closely. “There is more of an opportunity to spread out with fewer people in the airport,” Buchanan said. “Obviously when it’s time to board, people congregate and wait near the gate. We are trying to encourage them to take
their turn because the plane isn’t going to take off without them.” The airport has installed touchless soap and towel dispensers in bathrooms along with hand sanitizer dispensers. Buchanan said food delivery has become increasingly popular inside the airport with couriers that will bring food and retail goods such as charging cords right up to gates. “We were fortunate to have it (restaurant-to-gate delivery) implemented and underway when Covid hit,” Buchanan said. “People are really looking for a touchless experience now.”

Stanford: Tops in coaches, media polls From Page B1 which is four victories from celebrating alongside VanDerveer as she ties Pat Summitt as the winningest coach in women’s basketball history with 1,098. “I know she has four or five wins until she gets the record, but I know she has bigger goals than that,� said Stanford guard Kiana Williams, on the approach of the monumental achievement. Stanford was selected as the favorite to win the Pac-12 by both the league’s head coaches and media members, according to polls released Tuesday morning. The Cardinal, who are
ranked No. 2 in the nation, got 19 of 21 first-place votes in the media poll and 10 of 12 first-place selections in the coaches’ poll. Arizona was picked second in the media poll and tied with three-time defending champion Oregon for second in the coaches’ poll. Cal was picked ninth in the media poll and 10th in the coaches’ poll. The Pac-12 had the nation’s top RPI in three of the past five years, including last season, and could be dominant again. In the Associated Press’ preseason poll, Arizona was No. 7, UCLA was No. 9, Oregon was No. 10, and
Oregon State was No. 18 – despite the Ducks losing Ionescu, the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft, Satou Sabally at No. 2 and Ruthy Hebard at No. 8. Oregon counters with all-world, first-year guard Te- Hina Paopao and 6-foot-7 transfer Sedona Prince, who will allow the Ducks to play through the high post after years of having most everything generated through Ionescu. “Sedona is the entire package, I think,� Oregon head coach Kelly Graves said. “She’s capable around the rim, and she’s going to be 6-7 the whole game. She finishes with either
hand. She’s really strong. She’s got a nice touch to 17 or 18 feet. Hopefully, we have another SabrinaRuthy combination with Te-Hina and Sedona.� Stanford has more proven talent with the returns of all-conference selections Williams and Lexie Hull and has the chance to come at opponents in waves. The Cardinal return a heralded sophomore class with experience in Francesca Belibi, Haley Jones, Hannah Jump and Ashten Prechtel. They also added the No. 3 recruit in the country in McDonald’s All-American Cameron Brink.
Draft: Wiseman consensus pick for W’s From Page B1 ESPN: WISEMAN. Reasoning behind it: “While Wiseman has long looked like the safest pick and best positional fit here, he no longer appears to be a lock for Golden State after Ball conducted an impressive workout in front of key members of the Warriors’ ownership group, front office and coaching staff. Ball’s talent presents the possibility for special longterm upside, while Wiseman might be better equipped to immediately help the franchise return to the NBA Finals.� (Jonathan Givony, ESPN). THE ATHLETIC: WISEMAN. Reasoning behind it: “At 7-foot-1 with a plus-five wingspan, Wiseman has physical tools that are off the charts for the center position. He has the potential to be among

the best centers in the NBA defensively because of his rim protection. He does a great job of staying vertical and putting a lid over the basket as a primary rim protector. Offensively, Wiseman should become one of the best finishers in the league on offense.� (The Athletic). THE SPORTING NEWS: WISEMAN. Reasoning behind it: “Wiseman is a terrific talent and fills a need at center for Golden State, so he should be the Warriors’ guy if they stay put. He may be able to thrive immediately as a rim-runner in Golden State’s offense. Plenty of trade chatter surrounding this selection, too.� ( Jordan Greer, The Sporting News). BLEACHER REPORT: WISEMAN.

“Wiseman, the no.1 player on our big board, looks like a top 3 lock. If the Warriors stay at no.2 they could fill their need at center but a trade down is still very likely here. His comparison: David Robinson-lite.� (NBA Draft Room). SPORTS ILLUSTRATED: WISEMAN. Reasoning behind it: “Most rival teams are preparing as if Wiseman will be off the board at No. 2. It’s known that the Warriors are interested in moving back in the lottery, seeking to draft a young player while also upgrading their frontcourt with a veteran who can help them win now. (Wiseman) would have a better case at No. 1 if a different team held the pick. But Wiseman should be a more than sufficient prize for whichever team ends up with him on draft night, and has all the ability to be successful.� (Sports Illustrated).
NBA.COM: WISEMAN. Reasoning behind it: “Many think Golden State will trade the pick for assets. If they don’t, though, in Wiseman, Golden State would have a tantalizing athletic big man who can defend and roll to the rim in pick-and-roll situations on the offensive end.� (NBA.com).

has been tied to the Golden State Warriors. They have likely been sifting through offers to move down, where they could target Deni Avdija, Tyrese Haliburton or Devin Vassell.

Dream: Over From Page B1 which forbids teams from having no firstround pick in two consecutive drafts. The Warriors also traded away their 2024 first-round pick to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the Andre Iguodala salary dump last summer. That prevents the Dubs from trading away their 2023 firstround pick and them from trading a first-round pick until two years after that pick is conveyed. It has a three-year window. Even if Giannis and the Bucks had a massive change of heart come mid-season, Golden State doesn’t look to be in a position to offer enough to land a
generational player. With that dream effectively dead, what should the Warriors do? What else can they do but move onto more realistic options? Players like Bradley Beal, Joel Embiid, and Ben Simmons. Or, the Warriors can actually make the draft picks they have coming down the pipe, add some intriguing young prospects to play along with the team’s veteran core, and pass up another chance to be the overlords of the league in favor of being a team with a steady, strong baseline of success. In a league as chaotic as the NBA, fiscally responsible sustainability might be the new “light-years ahead.�
