Newsom sets new limits on businesses, activities Los Angeles Times SACRAMENTO — Californians will be asked to comply with strict new limits on community outings, travel and inperson shopping under a new statewide order issued Thursday by Gov. Gavin Newsom, a set of far-reaching restrictions tied to regional strains on critical care services as Covid-19 cases continue to rise. The rules are designed to last for at least 21 days once local critical care facilities approach capacity. But the expectations set by state officials suggest that what

Newsom described as a “regional stay-at-home” order will sharply limit activities across California throughout the holiday season and possibly into the new year. “The bottom line is, if we don’t act now, our hospital system will be overwhelmed,” Newsom said in a midday news conference. “If we don’t act now, we’ll continue to see our death rate climb, more lives lost.” Eleven counties in Southern California and 12 counties in the Central Valley could be required to implement the new See Newsom, Page A8

FAIRFIELD — The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that California’s Covid-19 restrictions on places of worship are unconstitutional. The decision had no dissenting votes. Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, has long been on record with his concerns over the state’s actions as

they relate to churches, and fully expected the court’s decision to come down at some point. Matyas said Solano County has been working with the faith community on the best way to conduct services safely – using social distancing and face coverings, for example – rather than trying to prevent residents from attending services. Some churches have used virtual services as well. “We’ve always had a good

relationship with the (religious) community,” Matyas said. That work began in April, Matyas said. The Supreme Court decision came on the same day Solano County topped the 11,000-case mark and on the same day Gov. Gavin Newsom set up a series of regions throughout the state that will use the availability of intensive care unit beds as the metric

Solano County clarifies school guidance for cases, exposure Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Public Health Division posted on its webpage this week guidance for what schools are to do if they have or if they suspect a Covid-19 case. The guidance is basically the same as the original document, but

did amend some language so schools are more clear as to what they should do. “I think the reason we posted (the guidance) was for clarity . . . on how to handle Matyas student cases and contacts,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a

Solano receives $147M in SB 1 funds for 2 I-80 projects Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Eighteen miles of Express Lanes will be added to westbound Interstate 80 from Travis Boulevard to the Interstate 505 exit, work that is expected to start in 2021. The $275 million project includes $123 million in Senate Bill 1 funding that was

recently awarded, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission announced. Supervisor Jim Spering, who sits on the commission board and the Solano Transportation Authority board, called the project critical in alleviating commuter congestion. “This is a project the county has been working on for about four years,” Spering said Thurs-

day in a phone interview. “That is going to get us up through Vacaville, and reduce some of that congestion that we see starting about 3 p.m.” Spering said it will also help with weekend and holiday traffic, and supports the use of express buses and carpooling. The next stage will be to take the lanes out to Dixon. “SB 1 money is essential to

We need these new government agencies I know no one likes bureaucracy, but I have several ideas for new federal government organizations that both need and deserve serious consideration. That’s why I am detailing them here . . . uh . . . in a humor column.

steal delivered packages from people’s houses were called “porch pirates,” a designation too cutesy for how their actions harm people. This government agency would develop a foolproof strategy to Tony Wade stop them. Residents The Last Laugh can opt-in to a system where fingerprints and face recognition software would United States Word Czar I recently ordered pistachios identify them as the only ones (and other stuff) from Walmart who could pick up a delivered through their handy pickup app, package once the delivery person sets it on the porch and but when I got home I realized activates the Theft Deterrent. they were the ones that were If someone else touches the still in the shell and I wanted package, the Theft Deterrent the shelled ones. But then I would deliver a Taser-like thought about it. Why are they 50,000-volt jolt of electricity. called shelled? That should Thus instead of being cutesy mean they are in the shell. Unshelled is what the ready-to- “porch pirates,” they would instead become the much eat ones should be called. The United States Word Czar more pedestrian and apt “defendants.” would make sure that products and services nationwide are using the correct descriptors. Pants Regulatory And don’t even get me started Commission on all the nonsensical-whentaken-literally cuss words and Kids these days with the phrases. holes in their pants are out of control. This organization would rein them in by mandatDepartment of ing that pants be at least 75% Porchland Security pants and not just mostly holes. Even before the novel coronavirus pandemic when Alien Truth Agency their crimes exploded, lowlifes who lurk in neighborhoods and I think it is high time that the

government just level with the American people and let everyone know that not only does life exist on other planets, but we made first contact decades ago. Now, this organization would have a two-fold charter – to educate the American people and the aliens. For instance, a race of people we have been in contact with called the Thermians from the Klatu Nebula are not dangerous . . . just a little misguided. Their culture doesn’t have entertainment in the same way as we do, so they take movies, TV and theater literally. Thus, after studying our history, they mistakenly believe that: Abraham Lincoln was a vampire hunter who also embarked on time travel missions in a phone booth with Joan of Ark, Socrates and others; that ex-presidents Ronald Reagan, Richard M. Nixon, Lyndon B. Johnson and Jimmy Carter were surfers who robbed banks and that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were American statesmen . . . and famous rappers.

Christmas Decorations Commission Citizens wishing to decorate their houses would be reminded that just as we have one

president at a time, we also have one holiday at a time. Any decorations put up before Thanksgiving will be unlawful. Then there is the inconsistency rule. Mismatched decorations where some of the latest are merged with the oldest will be fine, but the line will be drawn at mixing themes. A Nativity scene coupled with an oversized inflatable Olaf the Snowman from “Frozen” will result in a hefty Christmas fine.

United States Office of Zoom Bookcase Integrity When talking heads appear on news shows now they are often at their homes and that has led to many of them staging their backdrops. One of the most common is a bookshelf. Way too often folks try to appear to be brainiacs by carefully placing several high-brow volumes clearly visible behind them (or shamelessly displaying their own books). This government organization would ensure, through rigorous oversight, that those displaying books on television have actually read them. As for me, there’s no shame to my bookshelf game. If I was ever a talking head, I guarantee that in addition to seeing

nonfiction volumes I’ve read about politics, pop culture, race and sports, you’d definitely spot some Marvel graphic novels and a Calvin and Hobbes compilation or two behind me as well.

Bumper Sticker Compliance Agency If a vehicle has a bumper sticker touting a religious message or moral position and yet the driver is acting in ways contrary to that message, they can be reported to this agency. If the report has merit, the driver would be forced to remove said sticker from their bumper and instead put it on their glove compartment so they could remind themselves of who they are professing publicly to be.

Humor Column Oversight Office This organization would ensure that humor columns include, you know, actual humor and not just cleverly disguised passive-aggressive ways to get back at anonymous people who cut the writer off on the freeway – like the previous idea.

Special election to fill Mashburn’s seat will be limited to District 2 voters Todd R. Hansen

VACAVILLE — District 2 voters in Vacaville will get their own representative a couple of years earlier than expected. The City Council introduced an ordinance amendment Tuesday night that will allow the May 4 special election to be limited to in-district voters only. “Our city attorney consulted with outside counsel to make sure it was OK,” City Clerk Michelle Thornbrugh said in a phone interview Wednesday. Vacaville went to districts this election cycle, with Districts 1, 3, 5 and 6 each on the Nov. 3 ballot. District 6 was for a two-year term. Districts 2, 4 and 6 are scheduled to be on the November 2022 ballot – all full, four-year terms. The special election had been set for a citywide vote because Solano County Supervisor-elect

Mitch Mashburn was elected by voters in the entire city, so technically he does not represent a specific district. He has two years left on the term he is vacating for the county seat, which he won in the March primary, and for which he will take the oath of office Jan. 4. The change also will save the city about $470,000, as the district-only election has a projected cost of about $110,000 compared to a $580,000 price tag on the citywide vote. The council in November voted to replace Mashburn by special election, a shift from the recently enacted policy that called for the mayor to put up a nominee for council approval. That approach received immediate blowback from District 2 residents, and even more so when Mayor Ron Rowlett said he planned to nominate the candidate who was best for the city whether

that person lived in District 2 or not. Rowlett has since said he fully endorses the special election route. The council will finalize the ordinance change at its next meeting. The panel also will consider repealing the current policy on how to fill vacancies. “The idea is to allow the new council, because we will have four new members, to decide how they want to do it,” Thornbrugh said. When the new council is seated this month, Roy Stockton (District 1), Michael Silva (District 3), Jason Roberts (District 5) and Jeannette Wylie (District 6) come aboard as first-time council members. They will join Rowlett, outgoing Councilman Mashburn (District 2) and Nolan Sullivan (District 4). Thornbrugh and City Treasurer Jay Yerkes were unopposed and won new four-year terms as well.

event the group held was at a Microsoft store in San Francisco involving about 15 students. “They did an amazing job creating their own lyrics. One group talked about energy; one group talked about oxygen,” Allen said. They used existing beats taken from authorized sites for their music. STEMM Fest, in time, will allow students to create their own music, linked to STEM education concepts, and even learn to play instruments – without the instruments. “When you see this technology, then virtual reality meets music. It’s called, mixed reality,” Allen said in a previous interview. The nonprofit was just beginning to roll out the programs when the novel coronavirus pandemic hit, so things have been delayed. Allen said she had sent out a feeler to the Solano County Office of Education, but did not receive a response, likely due to Covid-19. “Our mission is to immerse and introduce at least 5,000 students annually to STEM through our programs,” the organizational statement said. The United Nations initiative will certainly help reach that goal, Allen said.

Companies, county report one-time pollution hazards Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD â€” Two Solano County companies have seen excess pollution outputs in recent weeks that prompted formal reporting to and by the county. Notification of the incidents is required under the provisions of Proposition 65. All of the incidents were deemed to be minor in terms of risk to the public.

The notifications to the Board of Supervisors were issued this week by Jagjinder Sahota, environmental health manager with the Solano County Department of Resource Management. A flare stack at the Valero Benicia Refinery at 3400 E. 2nd St. in Benicia released 4,414 pounds of sulfur dioxide and 47 pounds of hydrogen sulfide Nov. 21, the county reports in a notification dated Wednesday.

The company reported the issue, which county officials characterize as a minor risk to public health and the environment. Operations at the plant were monitored and adjusted to minimize flaring, the county reports. A condenser failure Nov. 4 at Anheuser-Busch InBevâ€™s Budweiser plant at 3101 Busch Drive in Fairfield caused 286 pounds of ammonia to vent into the air, causing what county officials describe as minor

effects to soil, waterways and health and safety. Repairs to the condenser were ongoing as of Monday. The plant had a flange leak Sunday that released approximately 2 pounds of anhydrous ammonia into the air. The county in a report dated Monday deems the risk to public safety and the environment to be minor. Both leaks were discovered by plant employees.

DIXON â€” Porch pirates, beware. The Dixon Police Department will employ Operation Greasy Weasel, a bait box program, to help thwart holiday package thefts. GPS-enabled bait boxes will be placed throughout the city. Those attempting to steal one will alert the Police Department of the location. Ink bombs will detonate when the thief opens the package. â€œAnd this year, we added a glitter bomb, which should adhere nicely to the ink,â€? the department reported in a community update. The department refers viewers to www.youtube. com/watch?v=a_TSR_ v07m0... for a sample of what awaits porch pirates. The Fairfield Police Department offers these tips for holiday deliveries: n Have your packages delivered to a location where they can be received in person, such as a neighborâ€™s or relativeâ€™s house. n If possible, consider having your package delivered to your workplace. n When making a purchase online, if the retailer provides the option,Â choose a specific delivery time when you will be home. n If purchasing from

It’s time to admit remote education a failure in US

henever someone expressed concerns about the quality of remote education back in the early days of Covid19, they were all but shamed into silence. No, the spring did not go well, but that was done on the fly, with next to no preparation. No, it’s not an ideal solution, but staying with in-person instruction is out of the question. There is a learning curve, we were told. We’ll get this thing right with time. Here’s how that worked out: In Houston, the number of students with failing grades is exploding. In St. Paul, Minnesota, a high school student is almost as likely to be on track to fail a class as pass it. In the Helaine Olen junior high and high schools of Fairfax County, Virginia – one of the wealthiest counties in the United States – 1 out of 10 students flunked at least two classes, and the number was almost double that for those with disabilities. Enrollment is falling in closed school districts from coast to coast and many points in between. Some children are exiting for private schools, or private pods. Others are simply MIA. In the vast majority of cases, remote learning is a poor substitute for in-person education – no matter what efforts are made, no matter how many teacher trainings are offered. It’s not simply a matter of subpar or nonexistent internet or computer access, something that impacts students from more than 4 million households. Small children, as it turns out, will not sit in front of a computer to listen to a teacher or complete an assignment without supervision. That means millions of parents – for the most part, moms – got conscripted as unpaid teacher’s assistants. And while older children don’t need parents next to them to do their work, they often won’t do it regardless. Plus, children receive emotional support in school, both from teachers and socializing with peers. Minus that, parents report their schoolage children are experiencing increased moodiness, and difficulties regulating behavior and their attention. And, of course, in the way it always works in the United States, minority and low-income students are feeling the impact the most, even though their educational outcomes were already at risk. All of this could have, and should have, been known. Despite the proclamations of Silicon Valley that tech would revolutionize and improve education, the opposite reality has been apparent for years. A 2015 study of online charter schools by the Center for Research on Education Outcomes determined that students did better in math and reading when attending in-person schools, and concluded that “academic benefits from online charter schools are currently the exception rather than the rule.” One of the study’s authors, in a call with reporters, said the math results were so dismal it appeared as if “the student did not go to school for the entire year.” This makes it imperative that we get all children back in the schools sooner rather than later. But here the news is not good. Despite the fact that New York Mayor Bill de Blasio managed to get some elementary-school children back into the classroom, the doors remain firmly shut to those in the sixth grade and higher. Other major urban districts such as Los Angeles and Las Vegas remain remoteonly. And in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom, who sends his own four children to a private school open for hybrid learning, recently allowed the public schools that are open to remain open, but made it all but impossible for any more to reopen until Covid-19 caseloads fall significantly. (And this in one of the few states where year-round outdoor learning is actually feasible!) Parents are getting increasingly angry. In New York City, parent protests were likely instrumental in getting the schools reopened. In California, a lawsuit was filed against the state Monday, charging that because minorities are less likely to attend remote schools, they are deprived of their constitutional right to an equal education. This remote learning debacle cannot continue – the costs will be too high. Schools are an essential service, and teachers essential workers. If we continue to act otherwise, the consequences of the shuttered school buildings will likely haunt us for decades. Helaine Olen is a contributor to The Washington Post.

trust this science.” Administering the shots live could help counter conspiracy theories about whether Biden and Harris had actually taken the vaccine. And done right, building specials around each shot of the two-dose sequence could make the vaccines more familiar. As Offit writes in his book “The Cutter Incident,” a 1954 Gallup poll revealed that “more Americans knew about the field trial of Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine than knew the full name of the president of the United States.” That isn’t true with the novel coronavirus vaccines. Even wellinformed readers are likely to have questions about the leading candidates and what it’s like to receive one. Pfizer’s drug, for example, needs to be stored at exceptionally cold temperatures. So, will the inoculation feel cold? Pfizer and Moderna reported that participants in their trials experienced only minimal side effects; Biden and Harris could tell viewers whether they felt sore or queasy after their first shots. These broadcasts could also include the scientists involved in vaccine development and the doctors who administered the vaccines fielding questions submitted by members of the public. And Biden and Harris could also talk about what it feels like to cautiously set down the burden of fear that so many Americans have carried for almost a year. Even with a highly effective vaccine, it may be hard for many to unlearn the impulse to shy away from neighbors or to shed the anxiety that comes with walking into a store. This new future is going to feel strange. By leading the way even before they’ve taken power, Biden and Harris can help us to grapple with that, all while making the case that it’s worth a few more months of patience and loneliness to get there.

Were undocumented residents excluded, it would translate into roughly three fewer seats for California, on top of the one or two seats the state might lose due to its overall slow population growth. That’s why California Attorney General Xavier Becerra has joined the Supreme Court battle over Trump’s directive. “For hundreds of years, the U.S. Constitution has been clear: everyone counts,” Becerra said in a statement. “Here in California, we know that fundamental value extends beyond the census. No matter the color of your skin or where you come from, you count.” However many seats California winds up having, their districts will be redrawn by a 14-member independent commission with five Democrats, five Republicans and four independents, and its first foray into redistricting a decade ago proved that its actions are not predictable. We may not know how many congressional seats California will have in 2022, and we don’t know the shape of those districts. However, we do know that California will, as it did in 2018 and this year, play a significant role in determining which party controls Congress.

Stimulus: Package From Page One units overflow. House and Senate leaders have discussed attaching a short-term extension of some aid, such as expanded unemployment insurance, to a government spending bill that must pass by Dec. 11 to prevent a government shutdown. “It’s been heartening to see a few hopeful signs in the past few days,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R- Ky., said on the Senate floor. Hours later, he and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D- San Francisco, spoke by phone about a potential aid package, the first time they’ve directly discussed Covid-19 economic aid since at least the election, aides said. But major issues remain, including how much money to provide and where to spend it. Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles

E. Schumer, D- N.Y., embraced a compromise $908 billion package proposed this week by a bipartisan group of representatives and senators, backing down from their previous insistence on a $2.1 trillion package. Although the full text of that compromise bill has not been written, it is expected to include a second round of Paycheck Protection Program loans for small businesses, 18 more weeks of federal unemployment insurance at $300 rather than $600, as well as money for food assistance, student loan payment deferrals, child care and vaccine distribution. But it does not include direct cash payouts to individuals, such as the $1,200 checks in the CARES Act, or paid family or personal leave, which has allowed people to care for sick loved ones without losing their jobs.

From Page One Spering called that a safety project to get the big trucks on and off the interstate more easily, and for improved inspections. “These are two very important projects for Solano County,” Spering said. The largest SB 1 funding award, $60 million, is “to enable BART to begin construction next year on its $1 billion Train Control Modernization Project,” MTC announced. That project is part of the agency’s Transbay

Core Capacity Program to increase train capacity through the Transbay Tube between San Francisco and Oakland. Both of Solano County’s projects fall under the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program. Some projects are listed under the Local Partnership Program. Among the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program projects are: n $55 million to complete a $101 million funding package for transforming the outdated two-lane connector between U.S. 101 and

Highway 25 in southern Santa Clara County to a new four-lane connector with shoulders and bike lanes. The project, set to begin construction in 2022, will improve traffic flow and decrease backups on U.S. 101. n $18 million for the final design of further improvements to the Interstate 680/Highway 4 Interchange in Contra Costa County. Among the Local Partnership Program projects are: n $25 million to complete the Interstate 680 Southbound

Cases: ICU beds an issue From Page One to determine the restriction level of stay-at-home orders for those areas. The threshold is 15% availability of staffed ICU beds, Matyas said. According to the state, nearly 85% of all staffed ICU beds across California are filled. Solano was placed in an 11-county region that adds Monterey and Santa Cruz counties to the usual Bay Area list of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Sonoma counties. But Matyas expressed his frustrations, again, over the lack of details in the state’s action. “There is no regional government, so is (Newsom) issuing the order or does he expect me to issue the order?” Matyas asked. Matyas said he has asked the County Coun-

sel’s Office for an opinion on whether he even has the authority to issue what would essentially be a regional order – even if specific to Solano County. He said he also wants the state to clarify if the 15% is an average of the counties, or the actual bed counts, and whether beds not staffed, but set aside for ICU use, will be included. Matyas said Solano County is in good shape when it comes to ICU beds – at 40% availability for staffed beds as of Thursday – but could be affected by a regional order that otherwise does not apply locally. Moreover, Matyas said he wonders why the first step would not be to just have the hospitals staff more ICU beds rather than tightening stay-athome restrictions that are already harming county economies and, he said, are likely to be

ignored anyway. Individuals may ignore tighter social and travel rules, but the additional restrictions also target inperson shopping and other businesses. Retailers, for example, would have to limit their customer capacity to 20%. Restaurants would be restricted to take-out service. No indoor eating or drinking would be permitted. The order comes just as cities and counties gear up for a much-needed holiday economic boost. Personal service businesses, including hair and nail salons, playgrounds, family entertainment centers and overnight campgrounds would have to close. “The bottom line is, if we don’t act now, our hospital system will be overwhelmed,” Newsom said at a news conference Thursday. “If we don’t act now, we’ll continue to see our death rate climb,

Express Lanes project in Alameda County. n $25 million for improvements to the U.S. 101/De La Cruz/Trimble interchange just north of the Mineta San Jose International Airport in Santa Clara County. n $9 million for San Francisco’s Mission/ Geneva Safety Improvements project. n $3 million to Sonoma County for the Windsor River Road/ Windsor Road Intersection Improvements and Pathway project.

more lives lost.” The new restrictions go into effect Friday for two regions: an 11-county area in Southern California and a 12-county region in the Central Valley.

School: Various scenarios presented From Page One Those scenarios escalate from others being exposed to the disease, to individuals who test positive and those who are positive and have “severe or critical illness” or are “severely immunocompromised.” Also posted was a case notification form “to gather information from the Covid-19 confirmed case to help prevent or mitigate the spread of Covid-19 in schools, child cares and programs for children and youth.”

Add it ion a l ly, a Covid-19 school close contact form was posted. “Schools should designate a school point of contact to help the school district case investigator collect names of close contacts to confirmed positive cases,” the form states. “Solano (County) Public Health staff will contact the case investigator to offer support and provide information on limiting the spread of the virus.” It further states, “the purpose of this form is to collect a list of close contacts potentially exposed to the case. This template

is a useful tool to help organize information.” The documents were posted Wednesday. Public and private schools across the county shut down in March in the initial shutdowns to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Schools soon reopened through various forms of remote learning and completed the 2019-2020 academic year that way. Schools opened the 2020-2021 academic year through modified versions of those distance-learning strategies and for the most part remain closed for in-

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

Newsom: Divides state into 5 regions From Page One restrictions as soon as Friday, based on current projections of the rising number of patients who have been admitted to intensive care units. State officials divided California’s counties into five regions for the purpose of determining intensive care unit capacity and potential shutdowns of local services. Southern California counties that would be affected by the order are Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Imperial, Inyo and Mono. Affected communities will be required to close personal service businesses, including hair and nail salons, playgrounds, family entertainment centers and campgrounds for overnight stays. Restaurants will be required to return to take-out service only. Retail businesses will be limited to 20% of their customer capacity inside at any one time, with requirements for store officials to ensure there’s no indoor drinking or eating. The governor, who

remains in quarantine with his family after his children were exposed to people who subsequently tested positive for Covid19, said the new order is “fundamentally predicated on the need to stop gathering with people outside of your household (and) to do what you can to keep most of your activities outside.” Although current state projections show only Southern California and Central Valley counties will have to immediately put in place the new rules, data released by the Newsom administration earlier this week show almost all of the state could soon reach the new threshold – with 85% or more of ICU beds filled. “We recognize the gravity and the importance of the moment and what is being asked of all Californians,” said Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency. State officials plan for the new shutdown rules to be in place for at least the next three weeks. After that, any reopening of closed services and activities will be based on four-week projections of a region’s ICU capacity – suggesting the

broad new restrictions could easily last through the end of the year in some communities. Data compiled by the Los Angeles Times show the state has averaged nearly 15,000 cases a day over the last week, triple the rate in the last month. Covid-19 hospitalizations have also tripled over the same period. And an average of 67 Californians were dying daily from Covid-19 over the last week, a 60% jump from mid-November. Unlike the shutdown Newsom issued in the spring, most outdoor activities, including beach access and hiking, are not affected. But similar to other state government rules, it allows local leaders to impose public health rules that are more strict. “This is not a permanent state,” Newsom said. Closing stores and shopping malls in the run-up to the holiday season could strike a powerful blow to the state’s hobbled economy. In recent days, Newsom has announced a package of loan and grant efforts for small businesses as well as the expansion of a program that allows businesses to delay payment of

sales tax collections and use the money as a shortterm bridge loan. In most of the state, nonessential retail stores are capped at 25% capacity. Some counties, however, already meet this stricter threshold: L.A. County on Monday lowered its cap on capacity at nonessential retail stores to 20%, and Santa Clara County has limited its cap on nonessential retail to 10% of capacity. The new restrictions appear to remove the distinction between essential and nonessential retail – a 20% cap on capacity at all stores is likely to significantly reduce capacity at essential retailers, including supermarkets and drug stores. In most of the state, essential stores had been capped at 50% of capacity; in L.A. County, they were capped at 35%; and in Santa Clara County, 25%. Allan Zaremberg, president of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the loss of revenue at the busiest time of the year could hobble many businesses, including California-based retailers that do not have the same online sales presence as national and international companies.

Trump allies file emergency petition at Supreme Court Tribune Content Agency

Mark Makela/Getty Images file

President-elect Joe Biden removes his face mask before delivering a Thanksgiving address at the Queen Theatre, Nov. 25, in Wilmington, Delaware.

Biden will ask Americans to wear masks for 100 days Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON â€” President-elect Joe Biden said he would ask all Americans to wear a mask to prevent the spread of the coronavirus for the first 100 days of his administration as well as issue a â€œstanding orderâ€? requiring face coverings in federal buildings and interstate transportation. In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Biden also said that he had spoken to Dr. Anthony Fauci and asked him to stay on as the governmentâ€™s top infectious disease expert. Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a role heâ€™s held since the Reagan administration. But Biden suggested that Fauci would have an even bigger voice in his administration, advising the president directly. â€œI asked him to stay on the exact same role heâ€™s had for the past several presidents, and I asked

him to be a chief medical adviser for me as well, and be part of the Covid team,â€? Biden said. He pointed out that his incoming chief of staff, Ron Klain, had worked closely with Fauci during the Ebola crisis beginning in 2014. Biden said he would order mask use â€œwhere the federal government has authority.â€? And he said he would call for all Americans to wear masks for the first 100 days of his presidency. â€œNot forever, for 100 days,â€? he said. â€œAnd I think weâ€™ll see a significant reductionâ€? in infections. Bidenâ€™s preview of a more robust response to the coronavirus pandemic came as he spoke about the role of the president and vice president in setting a personal example â€“ drawing an implicit contrast with President Donald Trump, who has often eschewed wearing a mask in public and mocked Biden for

wearing one. The White House has also announced that it would continue to host holiday parties this year in smaller groups, even as Covid-19 cases and deaths break single-day records. Biden said he would follow the lead of three of his predecessors â€“ Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama â€“ who have volunteered to publicly get a Covid-19 vaccine to encourage others to do so. â€œIâ€™d be happy to do that. When Dr. Fauci says we have a vaccine that is safe, thatâ€™s the moment I will stand before the public,â€? he said. â€œPeople have lost faith in the ability of the vaccine to work. Already the numbers are really staggeringly low. And it matters what a president and a vice president do,â€? Biden said. â€œAnd itâ€™s important to communicate to the American people itâ€™s safe. Itâ€™s safe to do this.â€?

Vallejo hires former police chief as interim deputy chief Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO â€” Former Vallejo Police Chief Joseph Kreins has been hired back by the city as the interim deputy chief. The position is in addition to the recent hiring of Deputy Chief Michael Kihmm, the city announced. Kreins served as the chief of police in Vallejo starting in October 2014, after having served as the interim chief

starting in 2012. He has also served as interim chief of police from 2014-2019 in Benicia, Suisun City, Winters, Novato and Clayton. He started his career with the Concord Kreins Police Department in 1974 and has also worked in Sausalito, where he served as the chief and later as the assistant city manager, the city reported. Kreins is currently a POST certified facili-

t ator/pr esenter for California law enforcement agencies in team building and strategic planning workshops. Benicia Police Chief Andrew Bidou succeeded Kreins as police chief in Vallejo and served until he retired in April 2019. Shawny Williams, the current police chief, took over the department in November 2019.

Police arrest SF man on high-speed evading allegation Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD â€” A San Francisco man led the California Highway Patrol on a high-speed chase that ended peacefully with his arrest on westbound Interstate 80 near the West Texas Street exit. Dustin Patton, 30, was booked into Solano County

jail on suspicion of evading a peace officer with disregard for the safety of the public â€“ a felony â€“ and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, the booking log states. Bail was set at $25,000. He is scheduled to appear Friday in Solano County Superior Court. The CHP reported that Patton was observed

speeding on eastbound Suisun Valley Road when a CHP officer attempted to make the traffic stop. Instead, according to the CHP, Patton sped up. The incident occurred at approximately 1 p.m. and came to an end with the 1:20 p.m. arrest. A passenger in the car was released without any allegations.

WASHINGTON â€” Weeks after President Donald Trump said the Supreme Court should decide whether to throw out millions of ballots in what he dubbed a fraudulent election, and with state and federal courts rejecting nearly all his legal teamâ€™s lawsuits in multiple states, a case from Pennsylvania has limped meekly to the nationâ€™s highest court. The emergency petition filed Thursday is no Bush v. Gore, the 2000 case about the disputed Florida recount that determined who won the stateâ€™s electoral votes and therefore the White House. The dispute about Pennsylvaniaâ€™s election results could not by itself change the outcome of the presidential race. Instead, the appeal comes from Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Mike

Kelly and other Trump allies, in a lawsuit they filed after the election to challenge a 2019 state law that allowed voters to cast mail-in ballots for any reason. Election experts have called the lawsuit, which seeks to throw out all mail-in ballots in the state in the 2020 election, ridiculous. They panned the chances that the Supreme Court would agree to hear it. Election law expert Rick Hasen, a professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law, wrote about it with this title: â€œPerhaps the Dumbest Argument Ever Made in Emergency Petition to the Supreme Court Appears in Pennsylvania Election Case.â€? On Saturday, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw out the lawsuit in a three-page ruling, essentially because it was filed too late. The stateâ€™s

mail-in voting law had been in place for more than a year at that point, and had already been used in the June primary elections and November general elections. The court pointed out that the Republicans also sought an outcome â€“ invalidating all mail-in ballots from the 2020 election or directing the state legislature to appoint its own slate of presidential electors â€“ that would â€œresult in the disenfranchisement of millions of Pennsylvania voters.â€? Hasen wrote that the emergency petition to the Supreme Court now argues that the state legislature failed to follow the state constitution when it created the mail-in ballot law, and that somehow violates the U.S. Constitution. The petition then points to part of the U.S. Constitution that gives state legislatures the power to set election rules.

Unemployment payments weeks late in nearly every state Stateline.org Like millions of Americans, Kathleen Kroeger lost her job in the pandemic and needed help. Five months later, alongside scores of other Americans, sheâ€™s still looking for it. States are swamped with unemployment claims, delaying the resolution of even minor paperwork issues. In some cases, it has taken legal action to break the logjam. Itâ€™s a problem states are wrestling with in different ways, ranging from adding phone staff to hiring contractors, and a challenge President-elect Joe Bidenâ€™s transition team

has made a priority. â€œJust the basic unemployment, $345 a week, would have made a big difference,â€? said Kroeger, 40, who managed a restaurant near her home in Piedmont, S.D., until it closed its doors in March because of the pandemic. She left soon afterwards to battle her own Covid-19 case and other health problems. She also missed out on the $600 weekly enhanced benefits â€“ offered by the CARES Act until July â€“ because the state never approved her for benefits. Kroeger has checked daily and made dozens of fruitless calls to South

Dakotaâ€™s Department of Labor & Regulation. â€œI must have talked to 35 people. Itâ€™s always the same story â€“ â€˜Itâ€™s on somebodyâ€™s desk, theyâ€™re going through them all, theyâ€™ll let you know,â€™â€? said Kroeger, who depleted her savings and borrowed money from her family before finding another job in August. She applied for benefits in early May. Backlogs have become the norm in almost every state, according to federal timeliness reports reviewed by Stateline. As of Nov. 1, only three states, North Dakota, Rhode Island and Wyoming, met the federal standard of

getting benefit payments out within three weeks for 87% of applicants. The 87% standard, set in 2005 by the U.S Department of Labor, carries no penalties but requires states to have a plan to correct the problem. South Dakota had the lowest timeliness rate, with only 18.8% of payments going out within three weeks, with Kentucky (27.1%) and Maryland (27.9%) next. The rate was less than half for 14 states, including New York and California. Before the pandemic, almost every state was at or above 87%. North Carolina had the lowest rate,

79.6%. Forty-four states and the District of Columbia paid 90% or more of claims within three weeks; now none does. States have a legal duty to pay benefits on time, said Andrew Stettner, a senior fellow at the progressive Century Foundation. Some advocates have gone to court to force payments and press for change. â€œThe inability of states to climb out of the hole of untimely payment is an example of the system failures exposed by Covid-19,â€? Stettner said. â€œThe federal government ought to be pressing them to understand their backlog and bottlenecks and coming

up with solutions.â€? States were first slammed with benefit applications in March, when claims jumped from 282,000 to almost 6.9 million, and new claims continue to pour in at an unprecedented rate of more than 700,000 a week. Massive delays and a chorus of complaints led to shakeups in state labor departments. Yet even as modernization increases efficiency for routine cases, the number of left behind and unresolved cases continues to grow, and late payments are increasing in most states.

Kotsay promoted to 3B coach

ALUMNI UPDATE

A’s thrilled to keep him in Oakland

Offensive linemen, especially guards, usually toil in anonymity – unless they’re called for holding or a false start – and are often obscured by the action around them. Friends and family of Jake Levengood, a Vacaville High graduate and starting left guard for the Oregon State football team, were probably

Tribune Content Agency The Oakland A’s promoted quality control coach Mark Kotsay to third base coach, the team announced Thursday. During his six seasons as part of Oakland’s coaching staff, Kotsay has become respected for his keen coaching abilities and feel for the clubhouse mood. Kotsay will replace Al Pedrique, who was released from his third base coach duties back in October after three years with Oakland. It should be noted, too, that the A’s are standing by bench coach Ryan Christenson, who found himself in hot water after an NBC Sports California camera caught him inadvertently throwing up what looked like an offensive sign in the handshake line after a win last season. Kotsay’s reputation follows him outside of the Coliseum confines – the 45-year-old has interviewed for positions with other teams – including for the Detroit Tigers managerial position ultimately filled by former Astros manager AJ Hinch this year. He also interviewed for the Houston Astros managerial position filled by Dusty Baker and the San Francisco Giants job filled by Gabe Kapler in 2019. Kotsay’s promotion could be an effort to keep the highlysought-after coach close. He’s proven to be an invaluable mentor to the team, utility player Chad Pinder can attest. “He’s awesome,” Pinder said by Thursday. “With him playing for so long and not being that far removed from his playing days, he’s a guy that everyone gravitates toward.” Kotsay was destined to return to a field staff position – the A’s created the quality control position, in essence, for Kotsay to squeeze as much of his expertise and observations into the clubhouse and dugout while allowing him time to deal with a family matter that forced him away from his bench coaching duties in 2016. Even as quality control coach of late, Kotsay still observed batting practice and helped with infield defense work. Kotsay played 17 seasons with seven different teams, including four as a contact-hitting infielder with the Oakland A’s from 2004-07. He retired in 2013 and promptly joined the San Diego Padres front office in 2014 and, then, as their hitting coach. He joined the A’s in 2015 as their bench coach and was moved to quality control coach in 2017, See Kotsay, Page B3

Vacaville grad Jake Levengood helps Beavers pull off upset of Ducks Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

among the few that noticed his block that helped Beavers quarterback Chance Nolan score the winning touchdown on a sneak with 33 seconds left in OSU’s 41-38 victory over rival Oregon. Oregon State (2-2, 2-2 Pac-12) trailed 31-19 after three quarters and outscored the Ducks 22-7 in the fourth. Levengood had a hand in an exceptional game on offense for the Beavers, who rushed for 269 yards, 226 by Jermar Jef-

ferson, and passed for 263 for a total of 532. Nevada (5-1, 5-1 MWC) saw its dreams of an undefeated season dashed with a 24-21 road loss at Hawaii. Carson Strong (Wood) completed 20 of 25 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns. One of his TD tosses, an 18-yarder to Tory Horton, pulled the Wolf Pack to within three points with 5:38 remaining in the game but they never

got the ball back. Strong, a redshirt sophomore, was added to the Davey O’Brien Quarterback Class of 2020 this week. Kicker Brandon Talton (Vacaville) booted three extra points for Nevada. Tayvion Cunningham (Wood) caught one pass for three yards and returned two kickoffs for 47 yards with a long of 28 as Arizona (0-3, 0-3 Pac-12) See Alumni, Page B3

Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group/TNS file (2018)

The Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry is introduced before taking on the Los Angeles Clippers, Dec. 23, 2018, at Oracle Arena.

Big questions face ‘underdog’ W’s, Curry as 2021 campaign kicks off Dieter Kurtenbach THE MERCURY NEWS

he entire world has changed since the Warriors last opened up training camp. But somehow Golden State remains in a stunningly similar position to 2019. As the Warriors gear up to prove that last season’s NBA-worst record was a fluke – as they begin their pursuit of a sixth NBA Finals run in the last seven years – the argument can still be made, just as it was before last season, that no team in the league can match this squad’s variability of predicted outcome. The ceiling is still incredi-

ANALYSIS bly high for the Warriors. Yes, the champion Lakers, after their impressive, augmenting offseason moves, stand in a class by themselves in the league. But after them? Golden State can make the argument that they can beat any team in the NBA. If the Lakers falter, Golden State, with their championship mettle and unquestionable – and, in the scenario, actualized – upside potential, could swoop in and “restart” their dynasty. Then there’s what happened last year. The Warriors never had Klay Thompson and then lost Stephen Curry, winning

only 15 games by the time the season came to a halt. Thompson is already ruled out for the season. So to avoid an all-too-possible repeat, the question must be asked: Can Curry play a full year? There’s a reason ESPN projected that the Warriors will finish 14th in the Western Conference this season – it all rides on the shoulders of Curry, and ESPN doesn’t expect him to be on the court every night. It’s a bold prediction? But it’s a fair one, too. While circumstances were no doubt different during the dynastic years, Curry has missed 46% of the Warriors’ regular-sea-

son games the last three seasons, with the biggest chunk, of course, coming last season, when he only played five games. And without Curry, well . . . you saw what happened to the Warriors last year. It might not be that level of bad again, but a team led by Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Kelly Oubre, and James Wiseman isn’t making the playoffs – or even the play-in games – in a loaded Western Conference. This is why it’s fair for the Warriors to take on the “underdog” label this season. Adding to the complexity is this upcoming season’s schedule. While not formally See W’s, Page B3

Shanahan scoffs at county official Jeff Smith’s pointed criticism of 49ers’ ‘values’

Penalty-prone Raiders seek to change error of their ways against 0-11 Jets

Tribune Content Agency

Tradition be damned, the Raiders need to curb their penchant for penalties if they hope to climb back in to the AFC playoff race. Flags have contributed mightily to the two-game losing streak that finds the Raiders currently out of the wild card picture at 6-5 heading in to Sunday’s road game against the New York Jets. As it stands, the three conference wild card teams aside from the four division leaders are Cleveland (8-3), Miami (7-4) and Indianapolis (7-4). The Baltimore Ravens, like the Raiders, are 6-5. One team

Kyle Shanahan afforded little time Thursday in responding to a Santa Clara County official’s pointed criticism about playing through the Covid-19 pandemic. “Someone who questions our values doesn’t know us,” Shanahan said. “It shows what we’re dealing with. That’ doesn’t matter.” Earlier this week, Santa Clara County executive Dr. Jeff Smith questioned the 49ers’ “values” and alleged they were putting players and the community in harm’s way.

“Historically, sportsmanship has been about building a team and protecting that team. Coaches, managers and owners used to want to protect their players from harm,” Smith told this news organization Monday: “Those values seem to have been placed on hold during the Covid pandemic. “If leaders want to protect their teams and communities, they should not play anywhere until it is safe,” Smith added. “One might envision a reemergence of team-building if the teams spent their time building See 49ers, Page B3

per conference receives a bye based on the best record. Long one of the NFL’s most heavily penalized teams in their heyday and beyond, the Raiders simply aren’t strong enough to overcome their own mistakes in crucial situations. The most damaging of late have come on defense, although offense and special teams have not been immune. In the past two games, a 35-31 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and a 43-6 blowout against the Atlanta Falcons, the Raiders have been flagged 19 times for 213 yards. Twelve of those for 143 yards have come on defense and eight have resulted in first downs.

“You look at those things every Monday with the guys, where we might have erred, what should have been called, what could have been called,” Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said. Thursday. “Certainly you can’t give an offense like the Falcons a second at-bat. It’s hard enough to get them off the field on third down let alone give them a first down on a third down, whether it be a P.I. (pass interference) or roughing the passer. “We just can’t have it. We’re not good enough to give teams second at-bats on See Raiders, Page B9

Steelers still No. 1 after win Wednesday over Ravens Mark Maske

THE WASHINGTON POST

Each week during the season, The Post’s Mark Maske ranks the 32 teams. This week seemed endless, stretching from last Thursday to Wednesday as the Steelers-Ravens game was pushed back three times. The Steelers struggled but won to remain undefeated. They stay at No. 1. The Chiefs and Saints keep the second and third spots after their wins. The Titans, Packers, Seahawks, Bills, Browns and Dolphins move up. The Colts and Rams fall from the top 10. 1. PITTSBURGH STEELERS (11-0) Last week’s rank: 1 Coach Mike Tomlin said the Steelers gave a “junior varsity” performance in the victory Wednesday afternoon over the Ravens in a game postponed three times. But it was enough for the Steelers to remain unbeaten, although the loss of LB Bud Dupree to a potential seasonending knee injury was costly. 2. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (10-1) Last week’s rank: 2 Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill put up huge numbers in the triumph at Tampa Bay. The Chiefs are giving the Steelers no margin for error in the race for the AFC’s No. 1 seed. 3. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (9-2) Last week’s rank: 3 The Saints are 2-0 with Taysom Hill filling in for Drew Brees after Teddy Bridgewater went 5-0 last season as Brees’s stand-in. Coach Sean Payton knows how to make this backup-QB thing work. Of course, the Broncos’ QB shortage Sunday helped quite a bit in this case. 4. TENNESSEE TITANS (8-3) Last week’s rank: 5 The magnitude of the turnaround against the Colts, from a 17-point loss 17 days earlier to a 19-point victory Sunday, was striking. It does feel as if the Titans are the class of the AFC South and the first game against the Colts, rather than the rematch, was the aberration. 5. GREEN BAY PACKERS (8-3) Last week’s rank: 6 Aaron Rodgers was terrific Sunday night against the Bears, and the Packers all but wrapped up the NFC North title. But there’s no reason to celebrate too much about that, even when it becomes official. The goals are much larger. 6. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (8-3) Last week’s rank: 8 The defense is playing a bit better, although just about anyone can shut down Carson Wentz and the Eagles these days. The pass rush has improved greatly since Carlos Dunlap’s arrival. If that can be sustained and the running game can be reasonably productive to help Russell Wilson and those receivers, the Seahawks’ Super Bowl chances are as good as anyone’s in the NFC. 7. BUFFALO BILLS (8-3) Last week’s rank: 9 The Bills returned from their bye week and rebounded from the pre-bye loss to the Cardinals with Sunday’s triumph over the Chargers. Few are paying much attention to the Bills. The Steelers and Chiefs clearly are the AFC’s leading powerhouses. But the Bills will be a tough out in the playoffs, no matter the opponent. 8. CLEVELAND BROWNS (8-3) Last week’s rank: 10 The Browns have secured their first non-losing season since 2007. One more victory gives them a winning season. Few would have expected that much progress in Year 1 for Coach Kevin Stefanski. This is the team that everyone thought the Browns would be last season. 9. MIAMI DOLPHINS (7-4) Last week’s rank: 15 Ryan Fitzpatrick filled in capably at QB for injured rookie Tua Tagovailoa in Sunday’s routine win over the Jets. But make no mistake: This needs to be Tagovailoa’s team, both now and moving forward, whenever he’s healthy enough to play. Coach Brian Flores seems to recognize that. 10. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (7-5) Last week’s rank: 11 The Buccaneers have looked less and less like a Super Bowl-worthy team, but analyst Tony Romo ended the CBS broadcast Sunday by saying he thinks there’s a chance the ChiefsBucs game was a Super Bowl preview. Will Romo be prescient again?

11. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (7-4) Last week’s rank: 4 The usually sturdy defense was a no-show Sunday against the Titans, and the Indianapolis offense is not built to go out and outscore an opponent of that caliber. The Colts have to be able to win with their defense and with QB Philip Rivers managing the game on offense. 12. LOS ANGELES RAMS (7-4) Last week’s rank: 7 That was a stunning loss to the 49ers. Maybe the Rams aren’t worth trusting after all. 13. ARIZONA CARDINALS (6-5) Last week’s rank: 12 Kyler Murray has not looked like the same player since he suffered that shoulder injury against the Seahawks. The loss Sunday at New England was ugly. It would be too bad if that injury proves to be the undoing of what had been shaping up as a feel-good season for Murray, Coach Kliff Kingsbury and the Cardinals. 14. BALTIMORE RAVENS (65) Last week’s rank: 13 The Ravens somehow were competitive Wednesday in Pittsburgh. If their outbreak is behind them and they can field a less-depleted lineup soon, the schedule down the stretch is not imposing and they should be able to make a push toward the playoffs. 15. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (6-5) Last week’s rank: 14 What in the world happened with that 43-6 loss in Atlanta? The Raiders have looked like a good team at times, but maintaining that level has been an issue. Even excellent teams have bad performances occasionally. But that bad? Against a team of that caliber? Not so much. 16. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (5-6) Last week’s rank: 19 The Patriots beat the Cardinals in a game in which Cam Newton had 84 passing yards, threw two interceptions and had a passer rating of 23.6. Try figuring that one out.

17. NEW YORK GIANTS (4-7) Last week’s rank: 20 Things are looking decidedly better with a three-game winning streak. The NFC East title is within reach. But the hamstring injury suffered by QB Daniel Jones is a problem. Is Colt McCoy good enough for the Giants to prevail even in this sorry division? And the schedule toughens considerably with the Seahawks, Cardinals, Browns and Ravens up next in succession. 18. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (5-6) Last week’s rank: 22 As if the injury-depleted lineup and dealing with the same coronavirus issues as every other team weren’t enough, the 49ers now are being forced to relocate because of new local health restrictions. They’re off to Arizona, where they’ll practice this week and play a “home” game Monday night. Their victory Sunday at the Rams was pretty remarkable, given the circumstances. 19. HOUSTON TEXANS (4-7) Last week’s rank: 18 Deshaun Watson, almost entirely unnoticed, is having a tremendous season for a bad team with his 24 touchdown passes, five interceptions and 112.5 passer rating. If only he had some help. 20. ATLANTA FALCONS (4-7) Last week’s rank: 23 The Falcons are capable of playing well, as they showed Sunday against the Raiders. They have been far better since the coaching change. There’s just not much left to salvage in a season following an 0-5 start. 21. WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (4-7) Last week’s rank: 26 Washington is on a two-game winning streak and played well during its Thanksgiving win at Dallas, even while benefiting from the Cowboys’ coaching blunders. But things get decidedly tougher from here with the Steelers, 49ers and Seahawks next on the schedule. Washington would be fortunate to manage even one victory during that stretch. 22. MINNESOTA VIKINGS (5-6) Last week’s rank: 28

The Vikings, after a 1-5 start, have caught the Bears, who began 5-1. The Vikings are also back in the NFC wild-card chase. It has been quite a transformation. 23. DENVER BRONCOS (4-7) Last week’s rank: 16 The Broncos’ no-QB game went about as expected with one completion, two interceptions and a 0.0 passer rating for WR-turned-QB Kendall Hinton. To their credit, Drew Lock apologized and took responsibility for the QBs’ mask-wearing failure, and Coach Vic Fangio blamed his team’s QBs rather than complaining about the league’s decisions. 24. CAROLINA PANTHERS (4-8) Last week’s rank: 17 Kicker Joey Slye missed a wouldbe game-winning FG just after Teddy Bridgewater left the field with an apparent injury. The QB said later that he had done something to his arm but was fine. It wasn’t exactly a storybook finish to Sunday’s game at Minnesota for the Panthers. But the loss is not such a big deal as long as Bridgewater is fully healthy. 25. CHICAGO BEARS (5-6) Last week’s rank: 21 Mitchell Trubisky kept doing Mitchell Trubisky things with his three turnovers during Sunday night’s loss to the Packers, and he clearly was not the answer to the Bears’ ongoing QB woes. But, really, did anyone expect him to be? Suddenly, Coach Matt Nagy’s job security is becoming an issue. 26. DETROIT LIONS (4-7) Last week’s rank: 24 The inevitable became reality with Saturday’s firings of Matt Patricia as coach and Bob Quinn as general manager. The 9-7 seasons that the Lions had with Jim Caldwell as their coach, before firing him and hiring Patricia, qualify as glory days in retrospect. 27. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (3-8) Last week’s rank: 25 The clock-management issues and play selection late in Sunday’s

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, December 4, 2020 B3

McKenzie Milton on leaving UCF: ‘I have one shot to chase a dream’ Tribune Content Agency ORLANDO, Fla. — UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton has spent two years working to achieve what seemed to be an impossible dream. Despite numerous surgeries and a grueling recovery marked by encouraging wins and devastating setbacks, he was determined to play competitive football again. To realize that dream, Milton announced he is leaving the UCF program and transferring to a school where he has the best chance to earn a starting quarterback job. The Hawaiian who earned the affection of UCF fans while leading the team to a Peach Bowl win over Auburn decided he did not want to compete with his best friend, prolific Knights starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel, as he pushes to play his final year of college football.

‘It’s been something I’ve been thinking about since the beginning of the season.’ — McKenzie Milton

“It’s been something I’ve been thinking about since the beginning of the season – because I knew I was on track to be able to play again,” Milton said in a video released by UCF. “I came to Coach (Josh) Heupel during the bye week in November – I didn’t want to blindside him at the end of the season. ‘With the trajectory of our team, Dillon has earned the right to be our quarterback. And yet I have one shot to chase a dream. “I told Coach, ‘It’s hard, one of the hardest things

for me to do, but it makes the most sense.’ ” Milton spent nearly two years recovering from a horrific knee injury he suffered during the Knights’ 2018 regular-season finale against USF at Raymond James Stadium. He was transported to Tampa General Hospital, where he underwent surgery to repair damaged nerves and restore blood flow to his lower right leg. The injury nearly forced doctors to amputate his leg. His first surgery started less than three hours after the injury, one of the many factors that opened the door to his recovery. He went through multiple surgeries and one doctor told him 50% of people who suffer the same injury usually have to have the leg amputated because the artery has been too damaged or severed and

it’s too late to get the blood flow back to the leg. Milton was in a wheelchair or on crutches for the first five months following the surgery and it wasn’t until earlier this year that doctors cleared him to ditch a restrictive brace for a less bulky one that allowed him to increase his physical activities. He received clearance from his doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in August to return to practice and recently began working out with the team in full pads. He recently took over as quarterback for the scout team. “He’s a pretty good one,” Heupel said when asked how good of a scout team quarterback Milton has been. “It’s great to see him out there and playing with bodies around him and doing some of the things he’s accustomed to doing before the injury.”

49ers: Relocated to Glendale, Arizona From Page B1 a Covid relief fund for the community rather than trying to put the community at more risk.” After Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Rams, Shanahan praised his team’s ability to play so well despite the uncertainty swirling after the county’s surprise announcement Saturday about its contactsports ban under stricter Covid-19 guidelines. Shanahan, in that postgame press conference, lashed out at the surprise nature of the county’s announcement, to which Smith fired back Monday and claimed the 49ers should have anticipated stricter measures amid the Covid-19 surge. Thursday, Shanahan added: “I just like communication, that’s all, and how people treat each other, most human beings. We’ve got to deal with the situa-

tion just like a lot of people are dealing with stuff . . . all over the country. There’s a way to (communicate) and that’s what we were bothered with.” The 49ers (5-6) have since relocated to Glendale, Arizona, where they’re holding practices and likely playing all their remaining regular-season games other than a Dec. 20 visit to the Dallas Cowboys. “Here, the hotel and situation we’re in is very safe,” Shanahan said. “The city’s a little different, just compared to where we were at. We’ll try as hard as we can not to be a part of this city.” Upon arriving Wednesday night in Arizona, Shanahan huddled about 20 key players together and gave them a covert mission: Check your teammates’ mental health. Unlike NBA players who could mingle easier inside their Florida

bubble earlier this year, the 49ers are essentially stuck in the hotel rooms and only see teammates on video conferences and a couple hours on the practice fields. “It’s not like we’re in a bubble hanging out,” Shanahan said. “Those things will build up on guys and each will handle it differently. “I just tried to tell everyone when someone has a problem, whatever it is, there’s no problem too big or too small, and a lot of guys keep that stuff internally.” The 49ers have used a team record 74 players through 11 games, and while there are constantly new faces arriving as reinforcements, safety precautions keep the 49ers apart. Hence, Shanahan’s directive to watch out for teammates who may be struggling away from friends and family. “It’s understanding

there is human nature that some stuff is going to come up over the next three weeks, and no one ignore it, just always bring it to someone’s attention because the worst thing you can be in these situations is to feel kind of alone on an island. “We’ve got a big group going through it so we can rally together and make sure we help each other through it.” Before they skipped town, the 49ers indeed helped the Santa Clara County community. Last week, their players and coaches teamed with Second Harvest Food Bank to donate over 700 Thanksgiving meals to families, and, also last month, the 49ers sponsored 800 meals to five local beneficiaries that Guy McIntyre, their director of alumni relations, helped deliver.

Kotsay: Has ‘good pulse’ of clubhouse From Page B1 a post he held until his move to third base coach for the 2021 season. For players like Pinder, it’s clear why the A’s are intent on keeping a coach like Kotsay close. It’s in the details. Pinder recalls flubbing a situational hitting moment in one of his first big league games back in 2017. He didn’t utter a word as he tried to slither unnoticed back to his seat in the dugout to hit himself over the missed opportunity. It was Kotsay who approached him with the right words. “In that first year, everything is amplified,”

Pinder said. “And I’m analyzing everything, and he can tell I’m analyzing. He came put his hand on me and said, ‘This is what needed to happen. We know it. You know it. You’re gonna have thousands of opportunities and chances to get this done. Just know and grow from it and move on.’ “I didn’t say anything, he just could sense I needed some words of encouragement and it was exactly what I needed to hear.” And Kotsay came back when Pinder struggled not knowing if he’d be penciled into the game’s lineup during the 2018 season; without a word, Kotsay

sat him down and talked him through his role. There’s always some certainty amid the uncertainty, he told him. “He has a really good pulse on every type of player in the clubhouse. He knows how to handle each player individually. It’s not cookie cutter,” Pinder said. “That’s a big strength of (manager) Bob Melvin’s, too, I see a lot of that it Kots.” Waving home runners around third base, Kotsay can bring a little more of the competitive fire that still burns in him. Kotsay is just seven years removed from a big league roster, and it shows in his on-field demeanor.

“He’s a competitor. He’s still got that fire from playing and that’s fun to be around, too,” Pinder said. “He’s a fun guy to be around. Everybody really enjoys having him around.” The A’s feel lucky to have been able to not only move him back onto the field, but also keep him another year. It’s only a matter of time before he lands a managing position. “He’s not far off, I genuinely believe that,” Pinder said. “He has experience on all sides of the game and that’s invaluable. He’s going to be a great manager one day. We’re happy to have him back.”

Alumni: Verrett has 5 tackles for 49ers From Page B1 fell 27-10 to UCLA.

NFL Jason Verrett (Rodriguez) recorded five tackles, his second-highest total of the season, four of them solo, in the San Francisco 49ers’ 23-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. His most impressive tackle came when he hauled down the Rams’ Cam Akers from behind after the latter appeared to be headed for a sure touchdown on a 61-yard run. Mykal Walker (Vacaville) played for the Atlanta

Falcons in a 43-6 thumping of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Men’s basketball Tei a no H a rde e (Vanden) got his collegiate career off to a solid start by amassing 16 points, five rebounds, one steal and one assist in 18 minutes during Sacramento State’s season-opening 101-57 win over Bethesda. William Jessup started the season with exhibition losses to Fresno State (87-47), Seattle (77-53) and Portland (83-73) with Jordan Adams (Vacaville, Solano) scoring a combined 14 points with three

3-pointers, four rebounds and one steal. Jay Nagle (Wood) had five points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 21 minutes as UC Santa Barbara sailed past St. Katherine, 92-55. Mayville State (2-1) fell 93-87 to Dickinson State with Leon Williams (Vanden, Solano) hitting his lone 3-point shot and finishing with four points and a steal for the Comets.

Women’s basketball Julia BlackshellFair (Vanden) poured in 16 points, half while going 8 of 11 from the foul line,

and adding nine rebounds, four assists and one block in helping Houston (1-1) open its season with a 97-85 win over Oklahoma. She then tied for a teamhigh 12 points with six rebounds and six assists in an 88-66 loss to Alabama. Vanessa Hughes (Solano) missed a 3-point attempt as Central Methodist (3-1) bounced Benedictine, 82-67. Former Vacaville and Vacaville Christian coach Chris Minner saw his Midway team fall to 1-4 with a 98-75 loss to Pikeville.

W’s: Questions From Page B1 released yet, the NBA has made it clear that they will try to jam 72 games into a fivemonth period. Back-to-back games will become normal once again. Four games in five days? They’re back, too. Surely, we’ll find out about some other dastardly combinations of games and days in the weeks to come. Warriors coach Steve Kerr is already planning on how to manage Curry’s workload. He’s finding out that it’s a real damned-if-you-do, damned-if-youdon’t situation. The conundrum: The Warriors need Curry on the court as much as possible to make the playoffs, but they can’t have him burnt out for late in the season, when they’ll really need him at his best. Gone are the days where Kerr could put Curry on the bench for the fourth quarter of a blowout victory – though blowout losses might provide the same opportunities. Those three-quarter workdays limited the star’s minutes over the course of the season, allowing him to be relatively fresh for the playoffs. This is how the other half has been living for a while, and it’s not exactly fun. “The objective going in (to the season) would be to keep his minutes around where they’ve been. It’s probably going to be more difficult,” Kerr said. “We’ve always been blessed with great talent, the ability to give our starters a lot of rest . . . We don’t have that luxury anymore. “I would love to keep his minutes down at the 34 range. We know that’s the best thing for him and for us long-term . . . I don’t think 40 is reasonable. I think 40 for anybody is difficult, especially these days. The pace that the game is played . . . I think, realistically, to get the best out of Steph, and most players really, game to game, as the whole year goes, you’d like to keep guys in that 34 to 36 range.”

Can Kerr keep that balance? Is 36 enough with a team that relied on Eric Paschall to be their primary scorer so many times last year? Or – and this is the other part to the Warriors’ big question – can Curry play at an MVP level in those prescribed 36 minutes? If not, the Warriors are going to be asking a lot from a lot of players and everything will have to work out in concert for Golden State to seriously contend. Questions like: Can Green play like he’s 25 again? Can Oubre take another step forward offensively and be a team player on both sides of the court? Can Wiseman be an impact player out of the gate? Can Wiggins actualize all that ballyhooed potential in what is now Year 8 of his career? Can Jordan Poole and Paschall make leaps? If only some of those questions are answered affirmatively, the Warriors will be in a year-long battle to merely make the tournament. If a worse fate befalls the Warriors, the 2021 season might carry similar vibes to the 2019-20 campaign. Hope you learned something watching college basketball over the Thanksgiving holiday. It should be noted that few, if any, of these questions would be asked if Thompson was healthy and playing. If they were asked, it’d be in the context of true Warriors going from good to great. That’s why it wasn’t surprising to hear Kerr and general manager Bob Myers bemoan the loss of Thompson – who tore his Achilles in a pickup game the day of the NBA Draft – in their teleconferences on Tuesday. When big questions are no longer being asked, the loss of Thompson will hurt a less, but as the Warriors head into the great unknown that is the 2021 season – a season with a range of possibilities that’s far to wide to make anyone comfortable – the sting is still fresh.

Romance book suggestions to combat stressful season Lidija Dorjkhand

The Philadelphia Inquirer

uring months of watching calming ASMR videos on YouTube, mindlessly staring at anything on TV that wasn’t the news, and listlessly reading older comfort reads on my library app while ignoring my to-be-read pile, some new romance books did provide bright spots of enjoyment. Here are a few of the highlights.

‘What You Wish For’ by Katherine Center St. Martin’s Press. 320 pp. $28 What You Wish For begins with a tragedy, as the man who runs the Galveston Island school where librarian Samantha Casey works dies unexpectedly. Max and his wife were beloved leaders of the school and were surrogate parents for Sam, who lost her mother at a young age and who was never close to her father. She and the other employees are still reeling from the loss when a new principal is announced. She is stunned to discover it is Duncan Carpenter. With “equal parts horror and ecstasy,” Sam realizes that the man she fell in love with and fled across the country to forget is coming back into her life. She knew Duncan when they worked together in California. He was a warm, funny, free-spirited teacher who had no idea Sam was infatuated with him. Too shy and quiet to step forward and declare her feelings, she left the school when he started dating another woman. While apprehensive about seeing Duncan again, Sam is glad that such a great teacher is coming to lead the school. But when Duncan finally shows up, he is nothing like the Duncan she knew. Sure, he may have been even more handsome, but he is wearing a suit and tie and talking about all the changes he is going to make to the school. And worst of all, he doesn’t even recognize Sam. Around this new Duncan, Sam is no-longer tongue-tied and she speaks out against the new policies he is instituting, especially about the school’s security. While Duncan has changed, so has Sam. She has grown since she last knew him, and has developed her own style and voice and is no longer so painfully shy and timid. As she once again works with Duncan, the two of them slowly grow closer and she eventually learns the devastating reason why he has changed so much. Can Sam find the bravery to overcome her own fears and take a chance on real love? Funny and moving, What

‘Seducing a Stranger’ by Kerrigan Byrne Oliver Heber Books. 286 pp. $10 in paperback. What was originally going to be a different title as Book 7 of the Victorian Rebels series has been renamed and is now the first in a new series about the Goode Girls. Either way it’s great entertainment. Prudence Goode, having learned that her fiance is an unfaithful bounder and that her family still expects her to marry him, is determined to have one night of pleasure for herself before her wedding. She has heard that on certain summer nights an exclusive brothel hosts garden bacchanals where women can avail themselves of virile young men. When she gets there, she is shocked and titillated by what she sees in the shadowy garden. As she wanders, she trips over a masked man crouched in the darkness by a fountain. The man is as beautiful as a fallen angel, and she decides he is the one she wants. But the man is Chief Inspector Carlton Morley, who is there in an unauthorized investigation of a series of murders. As Pru nervously babbles that she wants to hire him because her fiance will be an uncaring husband, Morley can’t explain who he really is. He is just as attracted to Pru as she is to him and his heart aches to think of the misery she faces. Against his better judgment, he gives in to passion with her, then leaves without telling her his real name. Three months later he attends the wedding of his commissioner’s daughter. When he steps into the church he is urgently summoned to a back room, where he is stunned to find a man in a pool of blood and Pru in a bridal gown covered with blood, holding a knife. From that roller-coaster of a beginning, the story con-

tinues its thrill ride until the crime is solved. Along the way, Pru and Morley discover that what began as an illicit tryst may well become a lasting love. Characters from Byrne’s other books in the Victorian Rebels series are featured prominently as they aid the couple’s efforts.

‘A Warm Heart in Winter’ by J.R. Ward Gallery Books. 496 pp. $8 Earlier this year J.R. Ward brought us another novel in her long-running Black Dagger Brotherhood vampire series, The Sinner; the start of a new offshoot, The Jackal; and now the Christmas-themed A Warm Heart in Winter, which will be published on Tuesday It continues the story of Qhuinn and Blay, who were the subjects of Lover at Last. A holiday gift for her readers, the new novel gives Ward a chance to lovingly catch up on all her BDB characters but also offer the suspense and deep emotions her books are known for as she advances the saga.

‘Dark Song’ by Christine Feehan Berkley. 444 pp. $28 In Dark Song, the 34th book in Christine Feehan’s Carpathian vampire series, we finally get the heartbreaking story of Elisabeta Trigovise. She was kidnapped centuries ago by a master vampire who had hidden Elizabeta away, keeping her caged and controlling her with cruelty and torture. Her discovery and rescue were covered in previous books, and readers knew she was severely traumatized in body and mind. Her lifemate is Ferro Arany. He is an ancient and powerful Carpathian, and Feehan surprises us by showing how gentle and supportive the fierce Ferro becomes. As Elisabeta grows stronger and gains confidence, she proves she has powers of her own as they all face a climactic attack by the vampire.

points possible. In today’s deal, North-South have their opponents heavily outgunned, by 27 points to 13. But that does not automatically mean they will drive the shiny Model T from the showroom. How does the play proceed in five spades after West leads the heart jack? North’s raise to three spades promised some values. South used Blackwood, Key Card or regular, hoping that his partner was not aceless. (In my youth, we had a rule that if partner opened two clubs and responder had two aces, he had to give a positive response. This would have allowed South to sign off in four spades here. Not such a bad idea.) East took the first trick with the heart ace and returned the heart three (bottom of three remaining cards). At trick three, declarer led his spade king, and West discarded a heart. What did East do? He could see that if he took this SHOULD YOU PLAY trick, South would get to the dummy HIGH OR LOW? with a club and run the spade 10. Not Henry Ford said, “There is one rule good! So, East let declarer hold the for the industrialist, and that is: Make third trick.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-61466. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

DAILY REPUBLIC â€” Friday, December 4, 2020â€ƒ B9

Raiders: Have been hurt by penalties From Page B1 penalties so weâ€™ve got to cut those back.â€? The Raiders are 13th in theÂ NFLÂ in overall penalties with 65 and 13th in penalty yardage with 582. But theyâ€™ve made a late run to get that high, with 27 of those for 295 yards coming in the last three games as the Raiders had eight penalties for 82 yards in a 37-12 win over Denver. The three games came after a 31-26 win over theÂ Los Angeles ChargersÂ during which the Raiders had just two penalties for 10 yards. The Raiders had five takeaways against the Broncos to more than offset the flags, although the game did include having a 60-yard punt return byÂ Hunter RenfrowÂ for a touchdown negated by an illegal

blindside block byÂ Johnathan Abram. It was a different story against the Chiefs andÂ Falcons, as penalties led to 31 points by the opposition. Against Atlanta, a facemask onÂ Nevin LawsonÂ negated an interception byÂ Nick Kwiatkoski. Later in that drive,Â Dallin LeavittÂ was called for roughing the kicker on a missed field goal. Atlanta went on to take a 13-3 lead. In the second half, anÂ Isaiah JohnsonÂ pass interference penalty and a roughing the passer onÂ Maxx CrosbyÂ accounted for 40 yards on a drive that enabled theÂ FalconsÂ to put the game out of reach at 30-6. In the loss to K a nsas Cit y, a questionable pass interference call onÂ Damon ArnetteÂ againstÂ Travis KelceÂ set up a game-

tying touchdown for the Chiefs at 14-14. A later Chiefs scoring drive was enabled by a holding call on Johnson and an unnecessary roughness call onÂ Johnathan AbramÂ as Kansas City went up 28-24. With coaches and players confined to their homes Monday, all penalty corrections were made virtually. Monday is also the day the coaching staff puts together film of penalties that are disputed and sends them to theÂ NFL. â€œSometimes, maybe we donâ€™t see it the same way as the officials,â€? Gruden said. â€œWe do try to go out on the practice field and make corrections, whether it be fundamental errors or lack of discipline. We try to emphasize it.â€?

rusher signed to the practice squad after being released by theÂ Tennessee Titans. Beasley had eight sacks last season for theÂ Atlanta FalconsÂ but had an unexplained unexcused absence for Tennessee after signing a one-year, $9.5 million contract and made no impact before being cutÂ Nov. 4. â€œHeâ€™s got really good first-step quickness, is really smart, picked up the playbook,â€? Guenther said. â€œHe adds some speed to our front. He doesnâ€™t say a lot. Heâ€™s a very coachable guy. Heâ€™s been a pleasure to have. Hopefully we can get him up and running here in short order.â€? Gruden said Wednesday he and Beasley â€œhavenâ€™t really met each otherâ€? but that strength coachÂ A.J. NeibelÂ had worked with him as well asÂ Takk McKinley, another edge rusher, inÂ Atlanta. â€œFirst impression is he looks the part,â€? Gruden said. â€œWeâ€™ve got to get the best out of Beasley. Heâ€™s got to get in great shape, heâ€™s got to get himself 100 percent health and invested, and weâ€™ll see where it goes.â€? McKinley is on injured reserve with a groin issue that caused him to fail physicals in both Cincinnati and San Francisco and wouldnâ€™t be available at the earliest until Week 15 against the Chargers.

CANÂ VIC BEASLEYÂ HELP? Guenther gave a positive review forÂ Vic Beasley, the former Pro Bowl edge

loss to the Bills intensified the focus on Coach Anthony Lynnâ€™s job security. Itâ€™s too bad, because the Chargers are so close to being a much better team. 28. DALLAS COWBOYS (3-8) Last weekâ€™s rank: 27 Mike McCarthy defended the coaching decisions made Thursday by him and his staff. He was about the only one. That was as bad a game as you will ever see an NFL coach have.

Some are clamoring for QB Carson Wentz to be benched, and suddenly thereâ€™s a bit more scrutiny on Coach Doug Pederson. This team should be so much better than it is. 30.

Last weekâ€™s rank: 32 It simply hasnâ€™t worked with Coach Adam Gase and QB Sam Darnold. Maybe Darnold will fare better elsewhere. Perhaps Gase is a better coach than he has showed in this job. But clearly itâ€™s time to start over, and finding the right coach to replace Gase and then drafting Clemsonâ€™s Trevor Lawrence to supplant Darnold would be promising initial steps.
