Solano sheriff’s deputies prevent a man from entering the Board of Supervisors meeting without a mask, Tuesday,
Residents urge Solano board to
defy Newsom’s health order
FAIRFIELD — On a day the Solano County registrar of voters was ready to celebrate a record-breaking election during the trying times of a pandemic, he will instead be investigating claims that possibly hundreds of Vacaville residents were sent the wrong ballots. Amber Robitaille, who lost her bid for the District 3 seat on the Vacaville City Council, told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that voters on 10 streets in Vacaville – and in more than one of the newly drawn city districts – received the wrong ballots. She told the board that a couple in the same house on Shasta Drive each received a ballot for a different district, one for District 3, the other for District 4.
She also told the board there is even a stretch of West Monte Vista Avenue, between North Orchard Avenue and West Street, where residents could get a ballot for one of three districts. “This is not about me or my election,” Robitaille said in an interview after the board meeting. “This is about the voters, in a public meeting, getting to hear what went wrong in the election.” John Gardner, the assistant registrar of voters, told the board that issues involving what amounted to about 50 ballots did occur, but were corrected.

FAIRFIELD — One man conducted what amounted to a loud, profanity-laced sit-in Tuesday just outside the Solano County Board of Supervisors chamber, while still more urged the board to defy the governor’s latest and most restrictive stay-at-home order. “Stay away from me; you will give me a heart attack,” Richard Robiak told sheriff’s deputies and county security officers as he sat on a bench in the ante-room outside the board chamber. Robiak, claiming his civil rights were being violated, was refusing to wear a face covering, and the county officials were barring him from entering the chamber. “I’m speaking . . . and I’m not wearing a mask,” said Robiak, who did say he was willing See Defy, Page A8
Solano’s top health official says vaccine will be ready by spring Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FA I R F I E L D — Covid-19 vaccines will be ready for the general public by springtime, and much sooner for the priority groups such as
hospital personnel and at-risk populations. Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that there are three companies that are seeking approval from the federal
Food and Drug Administration, and Pfizer could get its green light in the coming days. He said distribution would begin immediately after that, first to acute hospital personnel, then to the care facilities, front-
line medical personnel and first-responders. Matyas said he also expects that this latest surge will continue through mid-January because of Christmas and See Vaccine, Page A9

SUISUN CITY — The City Council welcomed two people to its dais Tuesday. Solano County Supervisor Erin Hannigan administered the oath of office to the Alma Hernandez, who was the top vote-getter in the Nov. 3 race. “The first of many,” Hannigan said, “get ready, parents.”
Hernandez’s mother, father and sister were in the council chamber. Solano County Supervisor Jim Spering administered the oath to Mike Hudson, who was returning to the council after losing a re-election bid in 2018. During a photo session afterward, when there was a cellphone photo challenge, Spering joked that if it took much See Suisun, Page A8
High Court says no to likely last high court appeal of election Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump had predicted that the Supreme Court would finally decide who won this year’s presidential election, but if so, he lost again Tuesday. Without comment or dissent, the high court turned away the first appeal from Trump supporters to reach the high court, a claim by several Pennsylvania Republicans who said the state’s election results should not be certified.
It may be the last appeal as well. Under federal election law, Dec. 8 marks the date when a state’s results are deemed to be set and final. Presidentelect Joe Biden won by more than 81,000 votes in Pennsylvania and will win the state’s 20 electoral votes. The lawsuit turned away Tuesday did not come from the Trump campaign. Instead, Rep. Mike Kelly, a Republican from western Pennsylvania, and several others claimed the state legislature violated the

Pennsylvania Constitution when it enacted bipartisan legislation last year to allow all of its registered voters to cast ballots by mail. Further, Kelly claimed the Pennsylvania Supreme Court violated the state constitution when it refused last week to throw out the election results. As Pennsylvania’s state lawyers pointed out, the dispute had nothing to do with federal law or the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court has no general authority to decide on
Pennsylvania law or the meaning of its state constitution. Earlier this year, the conservative justices wrote approvingly of former Chief Justice William Rehnquist’s view that the state legislatures had a dominant role in setting the rules for presidential elections. Article II of the Constitution says “each state shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature may direct” its allotted electors. Pennsylvania, like nearly all the states, had decided to allocate all of its electors to the presidential candidate

who wins the most votes. Rehnquist also said in the Bush vs. Gore decision in 2000 that the state courts were not free to change the election laws set by the legislature. If they did so, the Supreme Court could intervene. Prior to the November election, it looked as if this theory could give Republicans a legal argument for challenging the election results if the state courts made crucial changes in the rules

To walk, he needs braces and a walker. He lives alone in low-income housing, having lost his wife, the love of his life, to cancer. “Sister,” he said, when I called him today, “you don’t need to get me anything. I’m fine.” “I know you’re fine,” I said. “Fine and stubborn. But I’m getting you a Christmas gift so just tell me what you want.” “OK, how ‘bout some food? Maybe some pickled eggs like you sent last year. Mmm, mmm! You know how I like to eat.” “Yes,” I said, grinning, “I do.” Our mother made pickled eggs for Christmas. I wouldn’t touch them. Joe couldn’t get his fill. Now, more than the taste they leave on his lips, he loves the memories they stir in his heart. My next call was to a very kind woman in the office at Joe’s complex. Last year, after his gifts were stolen off his porch, she said if I’d send his
packages in care of the office, she’d be happy to take them to him. I wanted to make sure she was still there and willing to help. She was, and I thanked her. So I ordered pickled eggs and a basket full of boxes of sausage and cheese and cookies and such. Joe will have fun figuring out what’s inside each box. If I could give one gift to us all – to you and Joe and every soul in our weary world – it would be a Christmas like all the best ones we can remember, and all the best ones that are yet to come, free of fear and despair, full of peace and hope and joy. Christmas is born like a baby in a manger, not in the past or future, but always here and now, when we hunger for its gift and make room for it in our hearts. May the life-giving spirit of Christmas come soon to us all. Sharon Randall is the author of “The World and Then Some.” She can be reached at P.O.

thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors approved new impact fees Tuesday for the Cordelia, Dixon, Suisun and Vacaville fire protection districts. The fees, which cover the costs of new construction on fire services, go into effect Feb. 6. The 5-0 vote, with Supervisor Skip Thomson calling into the meeting because of being quarantined due to exposure to the novel coronavirus, followed a short presentation on the studies conducted to justify the fees. An official with the SCI Consulting Group, which did the studies, told the board the increase really only reflect the inflation of costs. The county DepartResource ment of Management collects the fees, which are deposited into a separate account and credited to the respective fire protection district. The county retains 2% of the fee collected for administrative duties. Cordelia’s rates for new residential construction are $1.91 per square foot for a singlefamily homes; $2.24 for multifamily housing; and $2.22 for mobile homes. The rates for retail/commercial are $2.01 per square foot; $2.73 for office; $2.13 for industrial; $1.04 for agriculture; and $1.32 for warehouse and distribution. Suisun rural district impact fee rates are $1.53 per square foot for single-family homes; $1.80 for multifamily housing; and $1.77 for mobile homes. The retail/commercial rate is $1.61 per square foot; $2.18 for office; $1.71 for industrial; $0.95 for agriculture; and $1.04 for warehouse and
distribution. The Vacaville rural district impact fees are $1.84 per square foot on single-family homes; $2.15 for multifamily housing; and $2.13 for mobile homes. The rate for retail/commercial is $1.93; $2.63 for office; $2.05 for industrial; $1.16 for agriculture; and $1.27 for warehousing and distribution. Dixon’s rates are $0.57 per square foot for single-family homes; $0.67 for multifamily housing; and $0.66 for mobile homes. The retail/ commercial rate is $0.60; $0.82 for office; $0.64 for industrial; $0.36 for agriculture; and $0.39 for warehousing and distribution. Each district also will charge a fee for accessory dwellings of 750 square feet or larger, proportional to the primary dwelling. In a related matter, the board also accepted, as part of its consent calendar, the fire districts’ annual impact fee disclosures for fiscal year 2019-20. In other action, the board: n Recognized Theresa Ives, with the Registrar of Voters and Information Technology offices, as the Employee of the Month for December. n Appointed Mario Romani as a director of the Collinsville Levee Maintenance District for a term ending Dec. 8, 2024. n Accepted the Board of Supervisors regular meeting calendar for 2021. n Accepted the 2019-20 annual Disclosure and Review of the County Public Facility Fee, including the Solano Transportation Authority Regional Transportation Impact Fee annual report, and the Dixon Public Library District Impact Fee annual report.

Dodd starts 2nd Senate term House adopts defense with new power shutoff bill conference report as veto threat looms
Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — Four state legislators who represent at least a part of Solano County on Monday took their oaths of office. Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, started his second, four-year term in the Senate by introducing new power shutoff legislation. He also served one, two-year term in the Assembly. “I consider it a great privilege to continue to serve the public and will waste no time in getting to work,” Dodd said in a statement released by his office. “Wildfire safety remains a top priority, and the possibility of more power shutoffs puts a strain on emergency services. This bill will ensure our local governments have the ability and resources to respond.”

From left, Bill Dodd, Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, Jim Frazier and Tim Grayson. The legislation, if approved, would make power shutoffs eligible for official emergency declarations, which means local jurisdictions could be eligible for reimbursement of costs under the Emergency Services Act. Also starting new terms are Assembly members Jim
Frazier, D-Fairfield, Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, D-Winters, and Tim Grayson, D-Concord. This is Frazier’s fifth, two-year term, while Aguiar-Curry and Grayson is each starting a third term. The Democrats have a supermajority in each house.
FDA report is a sign agency likely to OK Pfizer’s vaccine, scientists say Tribune Content Agency SAN DIEGO — The Food and Drug Administration released a 50-page report on Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine Tuesday – a telling preview of the agency’s views on a vaccine it could authorize in days. We reached out to two San Diego scientists intimately familiar with vaccine research to understand the report’s findings and their significance: Erica Ollmann Saphire of La Jolla Immunology and Dennis Burton of Scripps Research. The report leaves a few lingering questions, and no vaccine will be an instant fix for a virus that has claimed the lives of 285,000 Americans. But the bottom line? “It bodes well, and it’s reassuring,” Saphire said. “I think the light at the end of the tunnel is getting pretty close.” The FDA’s report briefs members of the agency’s vaccine advisory committee, who will meet Thursday to decide whether to recommend an emergency use authorization for Pfizer’s vaccine. That recommendation carries considerable weight because while the FDA technically doesn’t have to heed the advice of its advisory committee, it generally does. The report contains a lot of information. Pfizer conducted a massive clinical trial of about 44,000 participants, and there are plenty of ways to slice and dice that data. By comparison, Shingrix, a shingles vaccine for older adults, received FDA approval after a trial of 30,000. “They’re not skimping on the quantity of data,” Saphire said. Pfizer and other vaccine developers are aiming for a lower bar than full approval: emergency use authorization (EUA), which allows for rapid rollout during a public health emergency. The FDA has said it will authorize a Covid-19 vaccine if it’s at least 50% effective, if its benefits outweigh any risks, and if at least half of trial participants have been monitored for two months or longer. On Nov. 18, Pfizer sailed over the FDA’s 50% cutoff by announcing that its vaccine was 95% effective after 162 volunteers given the placebo got Covid-19 compared to 8 people who received the actual vaccine. The FDA broke down vaccine effectiveness by participant age, gender, race, ethnicity and medical history. Vaccines generally don’t work as well in older adults, and 80% of Covid-19 deaths have been among people 65 and up. Common preexisting conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes have also consistently made people

Americans increasingly willing to get vaccine Tribune Content Agency Most Americans are willing to take a Covid-19 vaccine when it’s available, a new poll found. A Gallup poll of 2,968 adults conducted Nov. 16-29 and released Tuesday found 63% of Americans would agree to be vaccinated against the coronavirus if the shot was “available right now at no cost.” The other 37% said they would not agree to be vaccinated. The 63% of respondents now willing to take the vaccine is a jump from 58% in October and 50% in September. Willingness to get the Covid-19 vaccine has also “nearly rebounded” to the previous high of 66%, which Gallup reported in late July. more likely to develop severe disease. “It looks pretty effective across all the groups that I could see,” said Burton, whose lab has teamed with others to study how the immune system responds to the coronavirus. That suggests that the vaccine works well for a wide swath of the population, including those hit hardest by the coronavirus. Also notable: hints that even a single dose of the vaccine provides some protection against the disease. Pfizer’s vaccine is given as two shots, three weeks apart. During that three-week window, those who received the vaccine were about half as likely to develop Covid-19 as those given the placebo. That makes sense, says Saphire, given that the first injection sparks an immune response that the second shot boosts. That’s good news for the 28,000 San Diegans who will get Pfizer’s initial Covid-19 vaccine doses, which could arrive in midDecember. The county will
Meanwhile, the percentage of respondents who said they would not get vaccinated is lower than it has been in recent months, down from 42% in October and 50% in September. It’s also near the low of 34% reported in July. The United States is on the cusp of having a vaccine ready to roll out as multiple pharmaceutical companies work to get their vaccine candidates approved and administered to some Americans by the end of the year. The U.S. Food and Drug administration on Tuesday said data from drugmaker Pfizer’s vaccine trials were “consistent” with its recommendations for emergency use. authorization, CNBC reports. use all of its supply to vaccinate each person once, counting on a future shipment arriving in time for the booster shot. The FDA report suggests that those people – likely a mix of health care workers and nursing home residents – could have some protection against Covid-19 while they wait for the second shot, though the agency was careful to say it can’t clearly conclude that a single dose
is protective. San Diegans who have participated in Pfizer’s vaccine trial reported feeling flu-like symptoms for a couple of days after their injection. That’s consistent with the recent report’s finding that the most common side effects were pain or itchiness around the injection site, fatigue, a headache and muscle soreness. These side effects were mostly brief and mild, and the FDA found “no specific safety concerns identified that would preclude issuance of an EUA.” If the FDA’s vaccine advisory committee recommends on Thursday that the agency authorize Pfizer’s vaccine, the FDA could do so within days. U.S. government officials have indicated that the first 6.4 million doses of vaccine would be distributed within 24 hours of emergency authorization. That’s great news, says Burton, but he cautions there’s still a lot we don’t know about this vaccine — like how well it prevents Covid-19 in children, how long protection lasts and how well it prevents you from spreading the coronavirus. In other words, you’ll want to hold onto that mask after getting your vaccine. “Even if you’re protected having got the vaccine, you could still get a very low level of infection and then pass it on to somebody else,” Burton said. “Definitely, masks should still be required.”

WASHINGTON — The House voted 335-78 on Tuesday to adopt a final version of the $731.6 billion defense authorization measure, setting up a possible end-of-year showdown as President Donald Trump has vowed to veto the legislation. House leaders have said they would cut the upcoming holiday break short, if necessary, to override the veto. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R- Ky., has not committed to doing the same, saying Tuesday that Trump’s veto was not a certainty. The conference report on the National Defense Authorization Act now awaits a vote in the Senate, expected this week, before lawmakers send the legislation to Trump’s desk. Once Trump receives the measure, he can take up to 10 days, excluding Sundays, to either sign or veto the bill. But Trump has repeatedly said he would veto the measure over its mandate to change the names of military bases that honor Confederate figures, and its lack of a provision that would repeal legal protections for social media companies. Language to change the names of the military bases was included in both the House and
Senate versions of the bill. Trump reiterated his displeasure with the measure early Tuesday, tweeting “I hope House Republicans will vote against the very weak National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which I will VETO.” And the Office of Management and Budget repeated the veto threat in a statement of administration policy just before the House vote. Top lawmakers in the House, however, said this week they would bring members back to Washington for an override vote – potentially cutting short their recess – should Trump veto the bill. “If the president vetoes it, we will come back to vote to override,” said House Armed Services Chairman Adam Smith, D- Wash., said in a conference call with reporters Monday. House Major it y Leader Steny H. Hoyer, D- Md., later suggested the same. The NDAA, which has been enacted annually for 59 consecutive years, sets the Pentagon policies for the coming year and includes thousands of national security provisions including proposals that would authorize pay raises for troops, seek to improve the military’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and modernize the nuclear weapons stockpile

SUISUN CITY — A resident stopped by the Suisun City Fire Department Station 47 on Tuesday with a guinea pig who got its head stuck in the metal grating of a cage. Capt. Jason Brassfield, who lives on a ranch and owns several farm animals, was on-duty and was the perfect firefighter for the job. He carefully cut the cage and extricated the furry victim. Once freed, Brassfield, the pet owner and the female guinea pig all squealed in delight, the department reports in a community update.

Stopgap readied Covid-19 stimulus talks stall amid year-end budget, McConnell demands Dems drop request for state aid virus aid scramble Tribune Content Agency
Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Lawmakers were finalizing a one-week stopgap funding measure Tuesday to avoid a partial government shutdown starting Friday at midnight, with the only add-ons expected to be a package of expiring health care program extensions, according to Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard C. Shelby. The “clean” continuing resolution, as Shelby put it Tuesday, will extend current funding through Dec. 18. That would buy Congress an additional week to reach a coronavirus relief deal and pass an omnibus spending measure for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1. The House plans to vote on the stopgap bill on Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said his chamber would take it up “as soon as we get it.” The push to buy time came as a bipartisan group of lawmakers from both chambers struggled to pin down the details of a $908 billion coronavirus aid package that could become the basis for a compromise deal. The package is designed to last for about four months, by which time President-elect Joe Biden is expected to propose a more sweeping response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Just getting an interim aid measure off the ground has proved a heavy lift, however. Talks have dragged in recent days, mostly over the details of how and whether to provide liability protection for employers against pandemic-related lawsuits.
A broad outline of the bipartisan plan released last week called for a “short-term” liability shield “with the purpose of giving states time to develop their own response.” Sen. Mitt Romney, R- Utah, a member of the bipartisan group, said lawmakers had a “general agreement” to propose a short-term moratorium on lawsuits that would “give states six months to come up with their own legislation” on liability protection. The issue negotiators are trying to work through is how to deal with injuries that occurred in 2020. Romney’s initial proposal was to provide immunity except for cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, but Democrats argue that exception is too narrow. In what he called a “real advance” toward a compromise, Romney said Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, and Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, R- S.C., proposed giving defendants “an affirmative defense” to prevent excessive liability claims, instead of just allowing for lawsuits in cases of gross negligence. Romney also said he favored creating health standards that employers must follow through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to be protected from lawsuits. Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, D- Ill., another member of the group, said lawmakers had a “lively discussion” of the issue Monday night but reached no conclusion.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tapped the brakes Tuesday on growing momentum for another coronavirus relief package, claiming he’ll only drop his most unpopular policy proposal if Democrats agree to give up their demand for budgetary bailouts for states.

Schumer noted that plenty of Republican states are also in the red financially at this stage. “Many Republicans support state and local funding,” he said. “State and local funding is bipartisan, unlike the extreme corporate liability proposal Leader McConnell made, which has no Democratic support.” McConnell initially wanted a five-year liability shield, retroactive from December 2019, to protect businesses from any legal action seeking damages for coronavirus-related negligence, claiming a wave of lawsuits would otherwise ensue. Democrats deemed that provision a nonstarter for months, saying it would amount to giving corporations a blank check to put workers at risk of getting infected. But Pelosi and Schumer offered a compromise last week in supporting the parsed-down compromise bill, which includes a shorter liability shield.

shopping during the pandemic. Recently, I have seen shoppers overloading their carts with products of all kinds, and not leaving at least one for the next customer. I have seen this happen multiple times with all manner of household essentials, from cleaning supplies to paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels. This happens even when there are signs asking customers to limit themselves to one or two of each of these items. I wish others would be considerate enough to leave at least a few for the other customers and not clear the shelves of items. We are all experiencing a time we’d never imagined, and we need to be in this together to cope and survive until our previous lifestyle returns. I hope that we all can learn to share and show kindness to our fellow Americans. — Shopper in Need Dear Shopper: I hope so, too.

by Phillip Alder game-force, there is one nuance that you might not have met yet. Look at today’s West hand. You open one spade, North passes, East responds two hearts (natural and game-forcing), and South intervenes with three diamonds. What would you do now? Either your side reaches at least game, or the opponents are doubled for penalty. So, here a pass is forcing, and double is for penalty -- and I think you should double three diamonds. If partner has a distributional hand and thinks offense is better than defense, he can overrule you. On this deal, East will worry about his unannounced three-card spade support, but he does have three diamonds and a soft hand with a lot of losers. He should pass. The penalty is humongous! West leads his heart. East takes two tricks, then leads the heart three (low asking for a club return). West ruffs and leads a low club, East winning two tricks there before playing a further heart (or a trump). West will take another trick with his diamond ace, then puts South into his hand, forcing him to lead away from the spade king. The defenders take two spades, two hearts, one diamond, two clubs and a heart ruff for down four, plus 1100! Yes, four spades can be made, but it takes good guesswork and is worth only 620.

Suisun: New members join council From Page One longer, Hudson would be running for re-election. Hudson won a tight race over former Suisun City police chief Tom Alder. Bidding goodbye to the council were veteran C ou nci lma n M i ke Segala, who opted not to seek re-election, and Anthony Adams, who was appointed to the council in January 2019. Segala, as his final council item, enthusiastically offered the motion to accept the Nov. 3 election results. Councilwoman Jane Day

presented with a plaque. Council members thanked Adams for his work. Mayor Pro Tem
Wanda Williams said he was a “joy to work with” and “brought a dedicated skill set” to the council. Segala chose not to say goodbye, noting he would see Adams around in the community. Mayor Lori Wilson praised Adams for his willingness to collaborate. Adams also shared his thoughts with council members. “I hope to be back,” he said. “I hope you will see my name on the ballot.” Three seats will be up for grabs in two years. They are currently held by Day, Wilson and Williams.
Election: Candidate raises concerns From Page One Robitaille said she could produce residents who never received those corrected ballots. And she wonders why the county did not let voters know there may have been problems – on their website, social media platforms and through other media. Robitaille said she did not challenge the election results because there would be no way to determine which ballot came from where. However, she said she hopes the supervisors “hold everybody’s feet to the fire on this,” and she would welcome a special election in those affected districts if the results of the investigation show a significant problem with the outcome. “We have to have confidence in our county (election) and right now, I don’t,” she said. Her mother, and a former county employee, Gaylene Robitaille, said the “integrity of the county is in the mud.” Both women called on
the board not “to ratify” the election results. However, the board was only receiving the report on the election results already certified by Registrar of Voters Tim Flanagan and sent on to the state. This is not the first ballot problem that has been raised from the Nov. 3 general election. Residents in Dixon made similar reports with regard to a water fee measure, with voters not even in the city water district having the initiative included on the ballots they received. County officials have said in every instance that they receive the boundary maps from the outside agencies, and then send back proofs for confirmation once they are added into the election system. Additionally, there were printing issues involving voter guides in Dixon, Vallejo and Benicia – problems traced back to the contractor hired to do the printing. Robitaille was not the only person Tuesday who
raised concerns. Supervisor Jim Spering said he was aware of two instances where mail-in ballots were sent to homes where those individuals on the ballots were no longer living. He wanted to know what the county did to make sure the current residents of those houses did not vote using the ballots sent to the former occupants. “If you are denying that is happening, you are naive,” Spering told Flanagan. Flanagan, and later County Counsel Bernadette Curry, told Spering and the board of the steps taken and the signature checks that are required before a ballot is ever cleared to be counted. F lanagan s a id about 30% of the ballots, which fail the electronic signature comparisons, are reviewed by staff members. About 1% of all ballots required the county staff to contact the voters to make sure that person did send in a ballot. Supervi-
sor Monica Brown said that happened to her daughter in a past election, and everything was cleared up. Board Chairwoman Erin Hannigan suggested one of the reasons for the ballot issues, if there are issues, was because this was the first election some cities, including Vacaville, went to a district-based election. But this is hardly the first election the county has had with districts involved. The Board of Supervisors, the Solano Community College District and other school districts have long been divided by districts. The concerns come at a time when President Donald Trump is claiming widespread voter fraud, though so far without any validated proof. Super visor Skip Thomson participated in the meeting by teleconference because he is quarantined due to exposure to the novel coronavirus.
Defy: Supporters also in attendance From Page One to wear a face shield. He asserts he has health issues that fall under the order’s exemptions. Robiak did not speak, and eventually left the building. Another woman, Michele Guerra, called into the meeting and said she was barred from entering the building because she would not wear a mask. Yet another person, who only identified himself on the speaker card as Steven, declared the existence of the “Free State of Solano,” residents of which are not subject to the laws of the county, state or federal government. “You should all be ashamed of yourself. You are all criminals; you are all immoral,” he told the board. And Andraya Coulter
said the board was just part of the effort to “recondition” the public to accept whatever the state wants, and called on the county to do its own investigation into the science of Covid-19, testing, future vaccines and the companies involved. She called on the board to join Placer County in its “Health Communities Resolution,” which basically calls for local control of the novel coronavirus pandemic response. County Counsel Bernadette Curry said she does not believe the county, as a state agency, has the constitutional authority just to defy the governor’s orders. There were claims that forcing anyone to wear a mask was practicing medicine without a license, although the health order does come from the state’s health officer, a doctor, through the Gov-
ernor’s Office. George Guynn Jr. then flipped the script from the illegal resident debate, and said the Board of Supervisors should declare Solano a “sanctuary county” protecting its citizens from the state Covid-19 requirements. He likened the citizens of the county to “slaves of the plantation.” And while some believe the Covid-19 vaccines that could be available to the general public by March or April will end the most serious threats of the pandemic, Guynn was joined by others who said they believe it will be just another violation of individuals rights. The supervisors did have their supporters, too. S ever a l sp e a kers denounced those members of the public who, at a recent meeting, flashed Nazi salutes and
yelled out “sieg heil” because they were forced to wear face coverings. Matthew Finklestein said his grandparents died in the German death camps and denounced what he called “hate speech.” Board chairwoman Erin Hannigan later said that behavior would never again be allowed in the chamber. Others applauded the supervisors for setting an example when it comes to wearing masks, and several called out Supervisor Monica Brown for her efforts to reach out to community groups, and specifically the Jewish community. Super visor Skip Thomson participated in the meeting by teleconference because he is quarantined due to exposure to the novel coronavirus.
Court: ‘Fundamentally frivolous’ suit From Page One that affected the outcome. But Kelly’s appeal made the opposite argument – that it was the state legislature that acted illegally by authorizing balloting by mail. His lawsuit was urging the Supreme Court to intervene to overturn the decision of the Pennsylvania legislature. Kelly’s suit was filed Nov. 21 and sought an order enjoining the state from certifying the results. The state Supreme Court intervened to take up the suit and dismissed the claim on the grounds that the plaintiffs were on notice for a full year that mail balloting would be commonplace, and they failed to file a legal challenge
before the election. Suing afterward was too late, the state justices said. Last week, Kelly’s lawyer filed the appeal with Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., who oversees emergency claims from Pennsylvania. Earlier Tuesday, lawyers for Pennsylvania responded and told the court the appeal was “fundamentally frivolous” and “an affront to constitutional democracy.” “Petitioners ask this court to undertake one of the most dramatic, disruptive invocations of judicial power in the history of the republic. No court has ever issued an order nullifying a governor’s certification of presidential election results. And for good reason: ‘Once the door
is opened to judicial invalidation of presidential election results, it will be awfully hard to close that door again. . . . The loss of public trust in our constitutional order resulting
from the exercise of this kind of judicial power would be incalculable,’ ” they said, quoting Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Brian Hagedorn, a Republican appointee.

Vaccine: Death total at 90 From Page One other holidays. He said he does not think there will be a comparable third surge before the vaccines are ready, adding the county is already taking steps to be able to administer those inoculations. However, Matyas also said it is predictable the Bay Area region, and Solano County with it, will be placed in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest and most restrictive stay-at-home order in a week or so – then held there for three weeks. The order is based on the availability of intensive care unit beds in the 11-county region, and triggered when that gets below 15%. Matyas reported that availability was at 24.7% regionally Tuesday, while Solano County was at 30% based on numbers released at 8:45 p.m. Tuesday. Even if the county is above the trigger threshold, it would still be

He also told the board that the county’s Covid death rate is 0.7%, which is much lower than the 1.4% state rate and the 1.9% national rate. Five new deaths were added to the county’s pandemic total Tuesday night.

The county reported 203 new cases Tuesday, bringing the pandemic total to 11,950. A total of 1,163 are considered active cases, 83 more than Monday. Hospitalizations stood Tuesday night at 74, up six from Monday’s total, the county reports. The county’s seven-day positivity testing rate inched up from 12.8% Monday to 12.9% Tuesday. 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.

Pictures are seen on a monument as mourners gather on the 40th anniversary of John Lennon’s death in Central Park to honor the late Beatles star in New York, Tuesday.
Lennon fans mark 40th anniversary of his murder Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — In Central Park’s Strawberry Fields, John Lennon lives forever. A small but ardent collection of fans both old and new came together Tuesday to mark the 40th anniversary of Lennon’s murder, gathering in the stretch of Central Park named for one of his Beatles classics to play guitars, sing and remember the rock star now dead as long as he lived. “The Beatles music is forever,” said Jamie Battan, a Manhattan resident in his 60s. “It’s the best music, in my opinion.” Lennon, 40, was gunned down by a crazed fan just outside his Upper West Side home – a short walk from Strawberry Fields, where half a dozen fans with guitars sat on benches to play his songs. The centerpiece of the memorial, opened Oct. 9, 1985, on Lennon’s 45th birthday, remains an elaborate
mosaic bearing a single word: “Imagine.” Lennon’s fans were joined by his fellow former Beatles, songwriting partner Paul McCartney and drummer Ringo Starr, in remembering the slain star. “A very very sad day but remembering my friend John with the great joy he brought to the world,” wrote McCartney on Twitter. Starr, along with a vintage photo of the two sitting on a car bumper, tweeted a request to honor his old friend: “Peace and love John. I’m asking Every music radio station in the world sometime today play Strawberry Fields Forever.” Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, who once urged the world to “give peace a chance” alongside her husband, noted in a tweet that “over 1,436,000 people have been killed by guns in the U.S.A. since John Lennon was shot and killed on Dec. 8, 1980.”
In years past, a few of the devotees recalled, the fans were joined by Lennon’s oldest son, Julian, and fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician Rod Stewart for the annual Dec. 8 get-together. The hardcore fans arriving throughout the day left roses, candles and photos of Lennon on the mosaic to mark the sad anniversary on a cold December day. “I was a young teenager when (the Beatles) became popular,” said Katie Cangelosi, 70, a regular visitor each year. “It’s been a continuous presence in my life, starting out as such a huge fan. John Lennon has been a force for good.” Guitarist Tepper Saffren, 28, wore a Lennon-esque outfit of tinted glasses with round frames and a beanie as he prepared to play some of the Liverpool native’s songs. “I think that what he represents is sort of this fight for goodness,” said the musician.

San Jose plays for shot at MWC title game B2 Wednesday, December 9, 2020 SECTION B Paul Farmer . Sports Editor . 427.6926
Playoff rankings the same at top Despite lack of games for Ohio St. The Washington Post The cancellation Tuesday of the game called “The Game,” Michigan at Ohio State, might help hurl a slew of unsolvable quirks at the College Football Playoff selection committee next week. It did not factor into the rankings released Tuesday night, in which a stagnancy held and the six front-runners remained identical to the previous two weeks. Ohio State (5-0), the team in largest question, held onto its coveted ranking of No. 4, behind only No. 1 Alabama (9-0), No. 2 Notre Dame (10-0) and No. 3 Clemson (9-1). The Buckeyes, who didn’t get started with their season until Oct. 24 because of the Big Ten’s cautious approach to the coronavirus pandemic, stayed ahead of two SEC teams who started their games a month earlier, No. 5 Texas A&M (7-1) and No. 6 Florida (8-1). “We were able to watch another game that Ohio State played,” Gary Barta, the athletic director at Iowa and the chairman of the 13-member selection committee, said on ESPN, referring to the Buckeyes’ 52-12 win Saturday at Michigan State. “That was important.” By next week, the committee might be weighing the importance of not being able to do likewise. An outbreak of positive coronavirus tests at Michigan left the Wolverines (2-4) unable to field a team for their trip to Ohio State, leaving that game off the calendar for the first time in 103 years. If Ohio State cannot secure a game with somebody else Saturday, its continuing lack of games could figure in the committee’s assessments. Offsetting that, Texas A&M also had its Saturday play date gutted. It happened because of positive tests at Mississippi, its scheduled opponent. Florida is all set to tack on a 10th game by welcoming – and probably feasting upon – a troubled LSU. If Ohio State cannot get an opponent for Saturday and also cannot participate in the Big Ten championship game of Dec. 19 because of the conference’s requirement of six games played to qualify, the committee would have an even tougher time assessing it for the closing rankings of Dec. 20. A batch of variables might prevent such a doomsday, though, including the Big Ten relaxing that sixgame standard. The whole, strange See Playoff, Page B2

Rodriguez grad Jason Verrett has career-high 11 tackles for 49ers Paul Farmer PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET
Jason Verrett and his San Francisco 49ers teammates no doubt came away disappointed after their 34-24 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. Regardless of the defense called by defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, the 49ers couldn’t slow quarterback Josh Allen
and the Bills offense. Lost in the shuffle was Verrett, a Rodriguez High graduate, amassing a careerhigh 11 solo tackles along with one pass defensed. His previous best was eight solo tackles against the Kansas City Chiefs on Dec. 13, 2015. Mykal Walker (Vacaville) had five tackles, four solo, for the Atlanta Falcons in a 21-16 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
College football Brandon Talton (Vacaville) started the scoring with a 49-yard field goal and Carson Strong (Wood) added to it with five touchdown passes as Nevada (6-1, 6-1 MWC) topped Fresno State, 37-26. Talton added four extra points, while Strong completed 23 of 39 passes for 354 yards with his TD tosses going for 5, 2, 17, 85 and 32 yards.
The two received good news this week as Talton was chosen as one of 20 semifinalists for the Lou Groza Award for the top collegiate placekicker, while Strong was named Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week.

coach Bob Boughner, associate coach Rocky Thompson and assistant John Madden a ton of time on the ice to put their stamp on the Sharks. Last year, training camps lasted more than two weeks and the Sharks had six exhibition games. Boughner has talked about implementing new systems that are tailored to his personnel. Thompson, in particular, has several ideas to rejuvenate the Sharks’ power play, which finished 23rd in the NHL last season. There also figures to be competition for certain jobs at camp, including third and fourth line center roles and the sixth defenseman spot, among others. That’s a lot to cram into 10 to 14 days. ‘There will be changes in our system play,” Bough-
Sharks could be hurt by NHL’s new reported time frame to start season The San Jose Sharks may not be getting much time as they would like for training camp – wherever that may be – to prepare for the start of the 2020-2021 NHL season. Multiple reports indicate the league and the NHL Players’ Association are now targeting a Jan. 13 start to what would be a 56-game regular season. That could be preceded by a 10-day training camp with no exhibition games, according to TSN, although discussions between the league and the union are ongoing. TSN’s report also indicated that the seven non-playoff teams that were not part of the NHL’s Return to Play plan this summer, including the Sharks, would only get a short head
start to training camp. Those teams had sought at least an extra week to prepare for the 2020-2021 season considering they had not been allowed to skate together in large groups since March. Now, though, they may only get a few extra days, with players reporting on a voluntary basis on or around Dec. 28. All of these dates could change with coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths reaching record levels throughout many parts of North America. In California alone Monday, county health departments around the state combined to report 34,136 new cases of Covid-19 Monday, shattering a previous single-day record. Still, the reported time frame wouldn’t give new full-time
ner said Sept. 22 when he was officially hired as the Sharks full-time coach. “In all three zones, there’s going to be some changes. We have to find and I believe we have found the style of play that we want.” Boughner and Sharks general manager Doug Wilson have also spoken about the importance of getting off to a good start this season. The Sharks started 4-10-1 last year and finished with the thirdworst record in the league at 29-36-5. In 2018-19, the Sharks were 12-10-5 before they rallied over the final two-thirds of the season to finish second in the Pacific Division. “The last couple of years, we did not start the way we needed to start,” Wilson said in October.

Steph Curry unsure about contract extension, wants to be a Warrior till the end
49ers’ faint postseason hopes will likely be sacked by lack of pass rush
Tribune Content Agency
The 49ers don’t play a team that has a winning record in their next three games. And it’s possible quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, one of their most important players, and All-Pro tight end George Kittle, perhaps their best player, could return for the final game or two to restore Kyle Shanahan’s offense to full strength. So why is it so hard to see this 5-7 team making an-againstthe-odds run into the playoffs? It’s because their pass rush, the foundation on which last season’s success was built, has often been invisible and the defensive equivalent to Garop-
Wa r r i o r s point guard Stephen Curry is unsure whether he’ll sign a contract extension in the coming weeks, but he knows one thing for certain: He hopes to finish his career with Golden State. “Obviously, just wearing the same jersey for as long as I can – that’s a huge goal, for sure,” Curry said Monday after the first team practice of training camp. “It’s an elite club of guys that you look at that have played with the same organization and achieved greatness in that respect. That would be
an awesome accomplishment. “That’s something I’ve obviously spoken publicly about and am very committed to, but that obviously goes to the fact that there’s a lot more to be accomplished on the court. Again, I can’t fast-forward to what the end is going to be and not enjoy the moment, enjoy the challenges that we have in front of us and what I have left to accomplish as a player.” Curry, 32, has two years left on the five-year, $201 million extension he signed in July 2017.

polo and Kittle isn’t coming to the rescue. The crippling impact of the loss of Pro Bowl pass rushers Nick Bosa and Dee Ford for the rest of the season was on display Monday night: The 49ers barely bothered Bills quarterback Josh Allen and their lack of pressure created a sitting-duck secondary in a 34-24 loss to the Bills. After Allen had thrown for 375 yards and four touchdowns, and the 49ers had allowed 31 first downs – matching the fourth-most in franchise history – Shanahan was asked how difficult it was for the defense when it can’t harass quarterbacks with four
defensive linemen. “Extremely difficult,” Shanahan said. “That’s what we were built for.” Last year, the 49ers had a front-four fortress that helped produce 48 sacks, their most since 1998. This season, they are on pace for 28, which would match their fewest in a full season since sacks became an official statistic in 1982. Their lack of pressure has been noted throughout this season, but it was never as striking as it was Monday. The 49ers had one sack and just two other hits on Allen on his 41 dropbacks.

San Jose State plays for shot at MWC title game ‘You have to enjoy the moments’ Tribune Content Agency San Jose State is 5-0 for the first time since it went 13-0 in 1939. If the Spartans beat Nevada in Las Vegas on Friday night, they’ll make their firstever appearance in the Mountain West Conference championship game. In non-pandemic times, the Spartans would get to enjoy their success with family, friends and fans much more easily than
they can these days. During Brent Brennan’s weekly Zoom news conference Monday, a reporter asked the San Jose State head coach if he has a bittersweet feeling about this shortened season or can he simply enjoy the moments for what they are. “I think you have to enjoy the moments,” Brennan said. “There’s not a lot of joy going around right now. . . . It’s just
been a really crazy eight months, right? “And so, in kind of the eye of that hurricane, why would you not find something to feel good about? I just don’t see any benefit for us . . . to worry about what could have been.” Brennan was speaking from his hotel room in Las Vegas, where the Spartans have relocated for the week after they beat Hawaii 35-24 in Honolulu on Saturday. Both the
Hawaii game and the game against the Wolf Pack were scheduled for CEFCU Stadium, but Santa Clara County’s restrictions intended to slow the spread of the coronavirus forced the Spartans to move those games. The Spartans are sharing practice facilities at Sam Boyd Stadium with the New Mexico football team, which moved See MWC, Page B10
49ers: Likely need 4-0 finish for playoffs From Page B1 had at least five seconds to throw on several snaps, became the second opposing quarterback in 49ers’ history to have 375 yards, 30-plus completions and four touchdowns in a game. “When you’re not getting pressure on the passer, which we expected the San Francisco D-line to do, Josh Allen is going to give you a headache,” said ESPN analyst Louis R idd ick i n t he second quarter. Riddick probably should haven’t been expecting much pressure, but he was on the money about the migraine. The tone was set immediately: Allen met cornerback Richard Sherman for the pregame coin toss – and a 49er didn’t touch him again for nearly an hour. It wasn’t until Allen’s 12th pass attempt, with about 10 minutes left in the second quarter, that defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw touched Allen’s left
arm while flushing him to his right as Allen fired an 8-yard completion to wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Last year, QBs were often running for their lives against the 49ers. On Monday, Allen was so unbothered that in the second quarter, while rolling right, he correctly pointed out a holding call on defensive lineman Arik Armstead before calmly firing a completion that was negated by the infraction. A review of the game revealed a 49er touched Allen on five of his 41 dropbacks. That total included Kinlaw’s hand on his arm and Armstead’s hand brushing Allen’s back before he stepped up in the pocket to fire an 18-yard completion to Diggs in the second quarter. Allen’s white jersey was unblemished until he emerged grass-stained at the end of a 6-yard scramble with five minutes left. The 49ers did create enough pressure to move Allen from the pocket on
seven snaps. However, his mobility and ability to throw on the move meant that didn’t have much of an impact: Allen completed 4 of 7 passes for 73 yards when flushed out. “The D-line was doing everything they could and putting a lot of pressure on him, but he did a great job of evading and extending plays,” Sherman said. “You extend plays for four or five seconds, then the coverage usually breaks down.” Said inside linebacker Fred Warner of Allen’s mobility: “It’s tough to continue to cover and cover and cover and cover.” The 49ers’ defensive line produced one play that was reminiscent of 2019. On the first play of the fourth quarter, with the Bills leading 27-17 at their own 40-yard line, defensive end Dion Jordan had a potentially game-changing blindside sack that caused Allen to fumble. However, the Bills recovered the loose ball
and the moment was never replicated. Allen wasn’t touched on the final six pass attempts of a drive that ended with a game-sealing 28-yard touchdown toss. Allen’s ability to extend plays is a quality lacking in the Rams’ Jared Goff, who couldn’t take advantage of the 49ers’ diminished defensive line. Goff has an 0-2 record and 63.4 passer rating against the 49ers in 2020. Allen’s mobility is similar to that of Arizona’s Kyler Murray and Seattle’s Russell Wilson, who have a combined 2-0 record and 102.3 passer rating against the 49ers this season. The bad news for the 49ers, a team struggling to get pressure with their front four that might need a 4-0 finish to make the playoffs? They will close the season against Murray and Wilson, respectively.
Playoff: Coastal Carolina up to No. 13 From Page B1 scenario could leave Barta at an awkward intersection as both the chairman of the committee deciding the playoff and an athletic director in a conference making provisions hoping to get one of its teams into the playoff. For any jostling and intrigue Tuesday, the eyeballs had to drift down to No. 7. That’s where Iowa State (7-2) appeared, up from No. 9, after it clinched the first outright regular season conference title in its 123-year history with a 42-6 win over West Virginia. In lifting the Cyclones to their all-time high under the playoff format, the committee did not intend to punish Cincinnati (8-0), which dropped from No. 7 to No. 8 after its game with Temple was canceled. “It was really the committee’s respect for what Iowa State has done,” Barta said, “and not a penalty for Cincinnati.” The Bearcats do have
further worries, though, because their regular season game with Tulsa for this Saturday also got the kibosh, leaving them with only an American Athletic Conference championship game Dec. 19, also against Tulsa. Cincinnati did stay ahead of No. 9 Georgia (6-2), which dropped a notch after not playing Vanderbilt, and then the next three who stayed unchanged: No. 10 Miami (8-1), No. 11 Oklahoma (7-2) and No. 12 Indiana (6-1), that last entry perhaps a surprise after the Hoosiers traveled to Madison and dismissed then-No. 16 Wisconsin from the rankings. Cincinnati remains the top team in the Group of Five, the less-rich conferences to which the committee doles one major bowl bid per year. Those bids have gone in past playoff years to Boise State, Houston, Western Michigan, Central Florida, Central Florida again and Memphis. The Group of Five team closest to Cin-
cinnati is No. 13 Coastal Carolina (10-0), which vaulted from No. 18 after its win over BYU (9-1), which took over Coastal Carolina’s old No. 18 spot. Louisiana Lafayette (9-1), which beat Iowa State to start the season, leaped from No. 25 to No. 19 after its 24-21 win over Appalachian State (7-3), which otherwise has lost only to Marshall and Coastal Carolina. Southern California (4-0), one of only two Pac-12 teams in the rankings from a league that got going even later than the Big Ten, jumped from No. 20 to No. 15. The only of its conference brethren to join it was one nobody would have guessed at the outset: Colorado (4-0), which debuted at No. 21 after wins over UCLA, Stanford, San Diego State and Arizona. Other newcomers were No. 20 Texas (6-3), which rejoined after a one-week absence because it won, 69-31, at Kansas State; No. 23 North Carolina State
(8-3); and No. 25 Missouri (5-3), making an unexpected little splash in the debut season of Coach Eliah Drinkwitz, formerly of Appalachian State. Here are the rankings announced Tuesday night: 1. Alabama (9-0) 2. Notre Dame (10-0) 3. Clemson (9-1) 4. Ohio State (5-0) 5. Texas A&M (7-1) 6. Florida (8-1) 7. Iowa State (8-2) 8. Cincinnati (8-0) 9. Georgia (6-2) 10. Miami (8-1) 11. Oklahoma (7-2) 12. Indiana (6-1) 13. Coastal Carolina (10-0) 14. Northwestern (5-1) 15. USC (4-0) 16. Iowa (5-2) 17. North Carolina (7-3) 18. BYU (9-1) 19. Louisiana (9-1) 20. Texas (6-3) 21. Colorado (4-0) 22. Oklahoma State (6-3) 23. N.C. State (8-3) 24. Tulsa (6-1) 25. Missouri (5-3)
Sharks: All-Canadian division possible From Page B1 “We were chasing our tail in both those years.” Before any of that happens, the league and the NHLPA still have several issues to sort out, including finalizing Covid-19 protocols, the regular season schedule, opt-out provisions for players and roster sizes. Realignment also has to be finalized by the NHL. With the northern border still closed to non-essential travel, an all-Canadian division appears likely, which would potentially
put the Sharks in the same division as Western Conference powers Colorado and Dallas, along with Los Angeles, Anaheim, Vegas and Arizona. and another team such as Minnesota. If Santa Clara County’s physical contact ban remains in effect beyond Dec. 21, as county executive Dr. Jeff Smith predicts, and the NHL starts the regular season Jan. 13, the Sharks will likely have to move their training camp outside of San Jose. Possible destinations
for the Sharks include Las Vegas and Arizona. The San Jose State football team is in Las Vegas right now and will play Nevada on Friday at Sam Boyd Stadium. The 49ers have temporarily moved operations to Glendale, Arizona, and are scheduled to play one more home game – this Sunday vs. Washington – at State Farm Stadium. The Sharks are not the only NHL team in that situation, as both the Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens are also
facing strict orders by their local health departments and may have to make alternate plans for training camp. One issue that is settled is the financial one. Per TSN and Sportsnet, the league and the union are no longer haggling over money and will stick with the Memorandum of Understanding agreement – finalized this summer – that sees players defer 10% of their salary for this upcoming season and caps escrow at 20 percent.

Curry: Decisions From Page B1 Warriors’ season opener at Brooklyn on Dec. 22, he can add three years to that deal worth as much as $155.7 million. But if Curry prefers to maximize his earning potential, he could wait until next offseason and sign a four-year extension worth as much as $215.3 million. That would keep him with the Warriors through the 2025-26 season and until he turns 38. Curry said that, when deciding when to sign his extension, he’ll consider what would help Golden State put together the best roster for as long as possible. Before he signed his extension in 2017, he asked the Warriors whether it would help the team’s roster-building if he took less money. Given that Golden State already was well over the salary cap, Curry couldn’t hurt its roster plans by taking the full $201 million. Whenever Curry does
sign, the Warriors will be staring down a massive payroll. Between its salaries and luxury-tax bill, Golden State will spend an NBA-record $300 million-plus this season. If Curry signs a maximum extension, the Warriors will owe a combined $148 million to four players – Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins – in 2022-23. Though Golden State could cut salary before that season, it has shown a willingness – even during a pandemic – to spend big to win big. The Warriors recognize that they have only so long to capitalize on their core players’ prime. In addition to Curry, Thompson and Green are both in their 30s. “We want to be in a situation where we’re competing for championships every single year,” Curry said. “I want to be a part of that, and that’s the goal.”

t’s a paradox that at a time of the internet, where we have access to more information than has ever existed in a single repository in world history, that people are still so willing to believe lies, nonsense, folklore and misinformation. Though the idiocracy predates the reign of our president, few have done more to mislead and misinform than Donald John Trump. Even now, after losing the presidency by a 306-232 electoral vote and 7 million popular vote margin, Trump maintains the fiction that he somehow won. His sycophants embarrassingly chant “Stop the steal!” when the only one trying to steal the election is Trump himself. But during a raging pandemic, now is not the time to Kelvin Wade embrace know-nothingism. Now isn’t the time to get your information from radio talk show hosts, disingenuous cable TV entertainers masquerading as journalists, shady websites, blogs, memes or choosing to listen to some poseur in scrubs on YouTube over infectious disease experts. We have multiple vaccines for a novel coronavirus that has devastated the world. It is a wonderful feat of human dedication and engineering to develop this reprieve. And since the safety and efficacy of the vaccines have been publicized, the public is more willing to take them. Gallup reports 63% of Americans say they’d take the vaccine right now. But that leaves nearly 4 out of 10 who say they won’t. I get it. You don’t have to be an anti-vaxxer to be wary about new medications. Older Americans may recall the thalidomide tragedy when that drug was available over the counter in West Germany in the late 1950s. It was thought to be safe for pregnant women. When women started delivering babies with phocomelia, shortened limbs or no limbs at all, the drug was removed from shelves and not approved in the U.S. For African-Americans, skepticism of a new vaccine often finds its origins in the Tuskegee Study. Doctors from the U.S. Public Health Service enrolled 600 black men in 1932 in a study offering free health care, claiming to want to study “bad blood.” In reality, 399 of the men had syphilis and researchers wanted to watch the progression of the disease without treatment. They even told local doctors to not treat them. They observed the men for 40 years, watching them suffer and die, and transmit it to their spouses and children. And we’ve all seen television ads featuring medications that have caused injury and death and a voiceover asking those harmed to call to get in on a class action lawsuit. So when the government and giant pharmaceutical companies say they’ve developed effective vaccines faster than any vaccines before, it sounds too good to be true. One can understand the skepticism. But some of the reluctance I’ve seen online is fear that Covid-19 is a hoax or a government false flag operation in order to control us. Some fear it’s a way for the government to create a DNA database on Americans. Still others see taking a vaccine as the “mark of the Beast” from the book of Revelation. This is madness. Stop spreading ignorance. Solano County and many others are on the verge of a lockdown and it can be avoided if everyone masks up. And that’s wearing a mask over your mouth AND nose, social distancing and sanitizing. It’s such a small ask in order to keep our society going, our small businesses open and people living their lives. As for taking a vaccine, we’re all infected with Covid fatigue. We’re tired of the colored tiers, the changing rules, the fight that shouldn’t be a fight over masking, so this is a huge step toward normalcy. Could there be long-term risks? Sure. But there could be long-term risks of Covid-19. And we know the status quo isn’t working for anyone. Let’s do something about it instead of whining. Expertise matters. Your YouTube search doesn’t equate to an infectious disease experts’ education and experience. Listen to the experts and follow the science, not conspiracy theories. I wear masks, socially distance and limit my outings. And I’d take that vaccine today, because that’s what I owe you, my fellow Americans. Peace.

symptoms common after vaccine receipt. No amount of tweaking will make any vaccine 100% safe for every person, but the side effects appear minor and definitely not as big or bad as the virus’ effects on our bodies and communities. I know that my opinion as a white woman may be of little comfort to communities of color that historically have been exploited in medical research. I am buoyed by the fact that the trials have enrolled a proportion of Latinx individuals exceeding their proportion of the U.S. population and that Moderna fell just 3% short of Black Americans’ proportion of the U.S. population. I am also heartened by the Black Coalition Against Covid-19’s encouragement of Black Americans to get the Covid vaccine, which was signed by the presidents of four Historically Black Colleges and Universities Colleges of Medicine, the National Medical Association and the National Black Nurses Association. I, and many of my friends, family and colleagues have lingering concerns, including the need for transparent data related to safety, children and women who are pregnant, as well as more experts expressing faith in the vaccine’s safety and efficacy, and the difference between these trials and historical trials. Personally, my biggest fear is that the vaccine will not be as effective under real-life circumstances as it has been in the controlled setting of a clinical trial – but if that is the worst-case scenario, then I am OK with giving it a shot.

Bill 5, a controversial law that makes it very difficult for workers to be classified as independent contractors. She had already announced her candidacy for the office in 2022. That said, Gonzalez is an attorney, so cannot be dismissed as a potential appointee as attorney general. However, if Newsom wants to pay homage to the state’s large API population, there are at least three potential appointees, Oakland Assemblyman Rob Bonta, state Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu and U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu. Bonta was in the mix when former Gov. Jerry Brown appointed Becerra, then a congressman, as attorney general to succeed Harris after she moved to the Senate in 2017. Other potential appointees as attorney general include Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, a former president pro tem of the state Senate; San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera; congressional members Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff; and Newsom’s own chief of staff, Ann O’Leary. Having so many major political appointments to make is a very unusual situation. And as Newsom sorts through the possibilities, maybe a more contemporary analogy would be the Game of Thrones.

Michaela Coel in her HBO series “I May Destroy You.”
Plenty of variety in 10 best TV shows of 2020 Lorraine Ali
Los Angeles Times
C
ineplexes closed. Broadway went dark. Concert venues fell silent. But when Covid-19 brought the world of entertainment to a screeching halt, guess what was still there for us? Television. It’s time to pay homage to the best TV from the worst year ever. Here are 10 picks, plus one for luck, because there’s been nothing uniform about 2020.
‘Never Have I Ever’ (Netflix) Go ahead. Call it a teen comedy. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that “Never Have I Ever” is a masterwork of angst and alienation, a fresh perspective on immigrant culture, a moving profile in grief and a breakthrough in the relationship between women and anger onscreen. The half-hour series follows Indian American high school sophomore Devi (impressive newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) as she strives to lead a non-nerdy social life under the all-seeing eye of her strict Hindu mother. But the sudden death of her father has left a void in both their worlds, worlds already separated by culture and generation gaps. Set in the San Fernando Valley, high-schoolisms abound (“hot pockets” are groups of cute guys; “uggos” are the opposite of hot pockets), as do funny and bittersweet scenes that pit comingof-age comedy against the reality of loss and longing. Cocreated by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher, it also stars the multitalented Poorna
Review Jagannathan (“The Night Of,” “Ramy” and “Big Little Lies”) as Devi’s mom and features John McEnroe – the king of the angry outburst – as narrator. 2020 blew, as Devi might say. But “Never Have I Ever,” which has been renewed for a second season, made it blow a little less. ‘Little America’ (Apple TV +) This eight-episode anthology drama is based on the true stories of immigrants across America, from the Indian motel owner’s son to the Nigerian wannabe cowboy professor. Each story is a separate vignette that together weaves a bigger story of what it takes to come here from somewhere else. Entrepreneurs, dreamers and doers populate “Little America,” and each episode is written and directed by folks who represent different paths to the American dream. Created by Lee Eisenberg (“The Office”), Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani, “Little America” is slated for a second season.
‘I May Destroy You’ ( HBO) This daring and inspired half-hour HBO series, written and produced by “Chewing Gum’s” Michaela Coel, follows the trials of young, eccentric writer Arabella (played by Coel) after she’s drugged and sexually assaulted during a night out with friends. Odd as it sounds, this London-set series is part comedy, part drama and part social reckoning. It boldly tackles questions of consent, admitting how fraught it See Variety, Page B5
arts/ thursday ’s games
Variety: From network, streaming From Page B4 is to determine boundaries beforehand and then accountability after the fact. We follow Arabella as she struggles to make sense of her own complicated reaction to the trauma and works to reclaim the freedom, confidence and spontaneity she embodied before the attack. The 12-part series is as clever and fresh as it is essential.
‘Upload’ (Amazon) Death doesn’t mean actually dying, at least not in Amazon’s half-hour comedy – set in the year 2033, when digitizing and uploading one’s soul is big business. The more money you or your loved ones pay, the swankier the afterlife. Nathan ( Robbie Amell) learns this after he’s killed in a suspicious car accident and his surviving girlfriend sends his consciousness to the upscale Lakeview “resort.” Like the other dearly departed residents there, he’s able to IM and chat with the living via a celestial cell service (rates may vary) from a commodified afterlife. But is it a fabricated heaven or hell? The deceased are not flanked by angels, they’re instead followed by floating pop-up ads. Imagine Taco Bell merging with Verizon and Google, then tracking you from here to eternity with Great Promotional Offers! Oh, and eternity is also full of hidden minibar charges and bandwidth fees in this series from Greg Daniels (“The Office”). Apparently you can take it with you – and might have to, if Amazon and Facebook get any smart ideas from “Upload.”
‘Ramy’ (Hulu) It was May, during the first round of stay-at-home orders, when Mahershala Ali touched down as a spiritual guide in Season 2 of Hulu’s Muslim American sitcom, “Ramy.” From his New Jersey Islamic Center, Sufi Sheikh Ali attempts to help the self-sabotaging millennial Ramy (played by series creator Ramy Youssef) become a better person and a better Muslim. Ali’s thankless task propels the second season of this daring half-hour comedy toward deeply funny and thoughtful commentaries on faith, identity, family loyalty and immigrant values. From the terribly uncomfortable scenes at a strip club, the masjid, an anti-Muslim protest and the family dinner table discussing the latest episode of “Shark Tank,” “Ramy’s” return was as profane and funny as it was insightful and revelatory
‘Dead to Me’ (Netflix) Jen (Christina Applegate) is an angry, terse, grieving widow. Judy (Linda Cardellini) is the spacy, sweet flake who killed Jen’s husband in a
Daily Cryptoquotes
hit-and-run accident. Steve ( James Marsden) is Judy’s late fiance. He was killed by Jen. And that’s just where Season 2 begins, unspooling a wonderfully twisted plot compelling enough to keep you from thinking about the horribly twisted reality outside your door. Created by Liz Feldman, the polar-opposite characters that drive this series should go down in history as one of television’s best odd couples. The love-hate relationship between the two only grows as they try to work in tandem (ha!) to cover up their respective murders.
‘McMillion$’ ( HBO) Here’s to a good old-fashioned American scam that had nothing to do with Donald Trump. This six-part HBO docuseries chronicles the elaborate scheme of Jerry Colombo, a former police officer who rigged the results of McDonald’s popular Monopoly game for more than a decade. He scammed $24 million between 1989 and 2011 in a con job that included mob connections, strip bar owners, smuggled golden tickets and even a suspicious death. The cast of characters here is so colorful and bizarre they look as if they were cooked up in a scripted writers room (think “The Sopranos” meets “Barry”). An eccentric FBI agent, fraudulent winners from upscale suburbs and sleepy towns, fast-food chain execs doubling as undercover agents, vengeful family members (biological and otherwise): They all appear in this stranger-than-fiction tale, where greed and hubris come with a side of fries.
‘The Vow’ ( HBO) Why does someone join a cult? They don’t. They buy into an idea to make them and the world better, according to HBO’s nine-part docuseries “The Vow,” and that’s where the brainwashing begins. Hundreds of hours of video footage and recorded conversations from former high-ranking members of the NXIVM self-improvement group provides the material for this disturbing yet riveting docuseries about the anatomy of blind worship. It follows a group of successful, smart, high-functioning people before, during and after they’ve extricated themselves from NXIVM and the group’s creepy, now-incarcerated leader, Keith Raniere. Former followers grapple in real time with their unquestioning loyalty to a man who ended up taking all their money as well as seducing female followers who were then branded with his initials below their bikini line. True, this nine-hour journey is too long and has pacing issues, but it reflects the lost time, shame and gaslighting felt by those who broke free from Raniere.

‘The Boys’ (Amazon) It only makes sense to follow villains with superheroes, though in Amazon’s “The Boys,” they’re one and the same. An irreverent take on comic book avenger culture, the second season of this excellent, biting series from creator Eric Kripke doubled down on themes of corporate corruption and public gullibility when it returned in September. The crime fighting team of supes known as the Seven are worshiped by America, but in reality they’re a self-centered, vain bunch of Compound V junkies who are being used to sell military contracts, promote political divisions and stoke white supremacy. A vigilante group of misfits are out to destroy them, if only they could stay sober, stop infighting and avoid driving their speed boat into the center of a beached whale (long story). A warped superhero tale made for imperfect times.
‘The Good Place’ ( NBC) The death theme apparently resonated with me in 2020. The year had just begun when this metaphysical comedy ended its four-season run. But what did we expect? Creator Mike Schur and company couldn’t keep turning weighty questions about mortality and the human condition into rippingly funny television forever. Unless forever doesn’t really exist, we’re all part of a philosophical experiment and existential questions about our own mortality are pointless? Fork it. Let’s move on. The series celebrated its own departure with the hour-long finale, “Take It Sleazy,” when Arizona “dirtbag” Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell), dim “hottie” Jason Mendoza (Manny Jacinto), name-dropping socialite Tahani Al-Jamil (Jameela Jamil) and tortured philosopher Chidi Anagonye (William Jackson Harper) finally decided to leave the Good Place for the great unknown. It was hard to say goodbye.
Sarah Cooper If the pandemic gave us anything worth savoring, it’s Sarah Cooper. The comedian made a name on TikTok lip-syncing to President Trump’s misguided Covid-19 comments, helping us laugh over his dangerous and inane suggestions that the “Chinese virus” was no big deal and that perhaps we should consider injecting bleach as a cure. As Cooper’s work proliferated on social media, her hilarious performances became a life raft in a sea of doomscrolling. Even her bizarre and scattershot Netflix special, “Sarah Cooper: Everything’s Fine,” funneled 2020 angst through a madcap filter, turning pandemic grief and panic into performance art.

how good that fit is -- seven, eight or more trumps? It might help you compete to the correct level, following the guidance of the Law of Total Tricks. Or that knowledge might help you to decide whether to bid game or to stop in a partscore. In a major suit, when you have nine trumps, go; with only eight, stop (or keep thinking!). One useful tool is the support double, which was devised by Eric Rodwell. This is made by the opener when he is able to rebid two of partner’s major. Then, raising the suit guarantees four trumps (and the higher you go, the stronger your hand). Instead, double shows three-card support (and any hand strength) -- see today’s diagram. North’s double showed three trumps. South, with opening count, jumped to game, knowing that if partner had a strong hand, he would bid higher. After West led the spade king, how did South plan the play? Declarer saw four black-suit losers, HOW DO YOU but he had one chance. After winning with dummy’s spade ace, South led a SUPPORT WITH low diamond toward his jack. East won THREE AND FOUR? with the queen and returned a spade, West taking two tricks in the suit.

Retailers are warning of shipping delays as millions shop online Tribune Content Agency This isn’t the year to procrastinate on your online holiday shopping. Retailers are warning that orders could take longer than usual to arrive because consumers are increasingly buying everyday essentials and holiday gifts online. Shipping companies like UPS and FedEx say they have been handling package volumes usually seen during the height of the holidays all year as people shop online to avoid trips to stores during the pandemic. Now that the holidays have arrived, online sales are still growing. Consumers spent a record $10.8 billion on Cyber Monday, up 15.1% compared with last year, even after earlier-thanusual deals shifted some sales to before Thanksgiving, according to Adobe Analytics. People choosing not to travel during the pandemic are also expected to ship more gifts to loved ones. Here’s what to know to make sure gifts arrive on time.
Why are delays possible? Retailers and shipping companies have been preparing for extra packages. UPS and FedEx said they are hiring 100,000 and 70,000 seasonal workers respectively, and both say they are doing more weekend deliveries. Still, the industry’s capacity could be short by up to 7 million packages a day between Thanksgiving

With “Christmas Creep” pushing the holiday shopping season ever earlier, stretching the limits of already-strained shipping networks, FedEx and United Parcel Service are girding for their biggest test yet in the e-commerce era. and Christmas, said Satish Jindel, president of ShipMatrix, which analyzes shipping data. Delays of a day or two won’t affect people buying gifts on Black Friday that they don’t intend to give until Dec. 25, but they could be an issue for last-minute shoppers, Jindel said. “Don’t try to order after the 15th thinking you’ll get a better price, because the better price will be lost in extra shipping or not getting it on time,” he said.
How soon should I order? Retailers’ rules for delivery by Dec. 25 vary. Crate & Barrel’s deadline for standard shipping is Thursday. Lands’ End shoppers must order monogrammed gifts by Friday; the deadline for other items is Dec. 15. Macy’s and L.L. Bean give shoppers until Dec. 18 and 19, respectively. Others have warned customers shipments may take longer than usual to arrive but haven’t set

deadlines. Abercrombie & Fitch initially told shoppers they needed to shop by Dec. 4 if they didn’t want to pay for expedited shipping. The company has since said shoppers have more time but encouraged people to check the website before ordering because “this remains a very fluid situation.” Target’s website says high shipping volume could delay deliveries, but most packages shipped to customers’ homes will arrive within a day or two of the estimated date. It could also depend on what you buy. Costco warned members last month it expected delivery delays with small parcels but didn’t expect big items like furniture, grills and appliances to be affected.

tial stores were forced to close during the pandemic. Orders are filled at nearby stores so they can be ready quickly, though shoppers might not have access to every item a retailer carries. Target said customers can place same-day pickup or delivery orders up until two hours before stores close on Dec. 24. Macy’s recommends placing same-day delivery orders by 10 a.m. and pickup orders by 3 p.m. Dec. 24 to ensure arrival by Dec. 25.
When should I ship my packages? The U.S. Postal Service, UPS and FedEx all said their shipping deadlines for individuals mailing packages are relatively consistent with last year. For delivery by Dec. 25, the U.S. Postal Service recommends sending items by First Class service by Dec. 18, Priority Mail by Dec. 19 and Priority Mail Express by Dec. 23. The last recommended shipping date for UPS Ground depends on the package’s route, but can be as early as Dec. 15. Recommended send-by dates for UPS 3 Day Select, 2nd Day Air and Next Day Air are Dec. 21, 22 and 23, respectively. FedEx says packages shipped by FedEx Ground or Home Delivery should be sent by Dec. 15. FedEx 2-Day and Overnight packages should be shipped by Dec. 22 and 23, respectively, and FedEx SameDay can be sent on Christmas Day. Those dates could change.

All-electric 2021 GMC Hummer sells out in 10 minutes Tribune Content Agency Want a 2021 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1? Get in line. The all-electric pickup sold out in 10 minutes despite its price tag that tops $100,000, just as the automaker is preparing to start winter testing of it, said Duncan Aldred, GMC vice president. Aldred declined to say how many Edition 1’s have been ordered, but said, “It is a highly sought-after vehicle. The customers want the vehicle just as soon as possible. Of the people who reserved another Hummer EV vehicle, about half of them said if a first edition becomes available, we’d like that vehicle.” The Hummer EV is now at GM’s proving grounds in Milford to undergo testing and further evaluation and soon GM engineers will take the prototypes to northern Michigan to perform winter endurance testing, Aldred said. GMC revealed the pickup in October and Aldred said it was the most-watched reveal ever with 370 million views, double that of what GMC has recorded from Super Bowl ads. It beat the reveals of the Tesla Cybertruck and the Ford Bronco SUV, F-150 pickup and Mach E. “It was pretty exceptional in what we delivered in terms of impressions and views and what we brought to our website,” Aldred said.

tric pickup at a lightening pace, headed by engineers who created the 2020 Corvette. Edition 1, which is due out late next year, has a starting price of $112,595. It will be built at GM’s Factory ZERO in Detroit and Hamtramck, which is being retooled now to assemble a series of all-electric vehicles. The pickup can go from 0-60 mph in about 3 seconds and it has new technology such as the “crab walk,” which allows the wheels to turn diagonally to get you out of tight spots, as well as hands-free driving and the fastest charging system on the market. After Edition 1, GM will launch a 3X model priced at $99,995 next fall. The 2X model at $89,995 goes on sale in spring 2023 and the $79,995 EV2 arrives in spring 2024. Some dealerships are already seeing orders for the Hummer. At Mark Wahlberg Buick GMC in Columbus, Ohio, several orders have been placed, said Jay Feldman, coowner of the store. Also, the store is now officially a Hummer dealer, he said. “We signed the agreement that we’ll have phase 3 power in the building, which we already have and the correct charging equipment,” Feldman said. “Also, we’ll buy all the tools we have to buy for that model.” Three-phase electric power means there are three alternating currents or three electric services.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor: PHILIP SMURR AND MARY SMURR, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS Duly Appointed Trustee: Carrington Foreclosure Services, LLC Recorded 11/17/2005 as Instrument No. 200500178319 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Solano County, California, Described as follows: "AS FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST" Date of Sale: 12/30/2020 at 10:30 AM Place of Sale: Outside the Santa Clara Street entrance to the City Hall located at 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $488,242.01 (Estimated) Street Address or other common designation of real property: 1720 BEALE CIRCLE SUISUN CITY, CA 94585 A.P.N.: 0174-374-180 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holder's rights against the real property only. THIS NOTICE IS SENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING A DEBT. THIS FIRM IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT ON BEHALF OF THE HOLDER AND OWNER OF THE NOTE. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY OR PROVIDED TO THIS FIRM OR THE CREDITOR WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site www.STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-24836. 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. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 477-7869, or visit this internet website www.STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-24836 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

California hospitals face tough choices as ICUs begin to fill up Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — With intensive care units across California rapidly filling with Covid-19 patients, hospitals have a limited number of tools available to free up more capacity in the coming weeks as cases are expected to surge. Back in the spring, the government opened a socalled “surge” hospital in Los Angeles and even docked a Navy medical ship in San Pedro harbor to take overflow patients if medical centers filled up. But officials found that those supplemental facilities did not treat many patients and did not provide the same level of care as traditional hospitals. “Hospital ships are wonderful if you’re a 23-year-old wounded sailor. But it’s no place to take care of ICU patients” sick with Covid-19, said Dr. George Rutherford, an epidemiologist and infectious-diseases expert at UC San Francisco. “If they need to be in the ICU, they need to be in the ICU.” So in the coming weeks in L.A. County, hospitals will try to choreograph their staffing to best meet the needs of critically ill patients, some of whom still might have to be sent to other areas of the hospital that don’t typically treat ICU cases. But that comes with risks. Should a staff shortage become particularly dire, critically ill patients could end up getting care from nurses and doctors without up-todate specialized intensive care training. “Physical beds are not

And that requires not just a bed, but more importantly it requires people: It requires staff. It requires supplies and equipment.” Rutherford was more blunt: “If, all of a sudden, you have one nurse taking care of seven patients on ventilators like in New York, the mortality can be astronomical.” ICU beds are still available even in hard-hit places like Los Angeles County. But the units are filling up fast, as California posts record numbers of new daily coronavirus cases. A Los Angeles Times county-by-county tally Monday recorded more than 34,000 new infections reported on Monday, shattering the
previous single-day record of 22,369 cases tallied on Friday. California has now recorded more than 20,0 0 0 cumulative Covid-19 deaths, a milestone recorded Monday by The Times’ coronavirus tracker. ICU capacity has become tight around Los Angeles County, including the Westside, the San Gabriel Valley and southeast L.A. County. Among staffed and licensed beds, on Sunday, the Westside had eight ICU beds available; southeast L.A. County had seven, and the San Gabriel Valley had just three. According to data released Monday, L.A. County hit more than 3,000 Covid-19 hospitalizations on Sunday, and officials say it’s possible that number will rise to 4,000 by next week as more people who were infected during the Thanksgiving holiday fall ill. ICUs can surge beyond
Army fires, suspends 14 Fort Hood leaders after troubling year of violence, soldier deaths Tribune Content Agency AUSTIN, Texas — Army officials on Tuesday announced the firings and suspensions of 14 Fort Hood leaders following a year of turmoil and violence on post. U.S. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy announced his decision to fire or suspend the Fort Hood leaders following the release of a civilian investigation that pointed to a toxic command climate on post. “I determined the failures at Fort Hood are directly related to leadership failures,” McCarthy said Tuesday morning. “Leaders drive culture and are responsible for everything the unit does, or does not happen to do. “I am gravely disappointed that leaders failed to effectively create a climate that treated other soldiers with dignity and respect and failed to reinforce everyone’s obligation to respond to allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault.” In August, McCarthy appointed five civilians with military backgrounds and legal expertise to begin the investigation, which Army officials more commonly called an independent review. In late November, McCarthy announced the independent investigation was complete, but said Army leaders would need more time to review its findings and come up with recommendations before it was to be made available to the public. On Nov. 20, McCarthy released his early takeaways from the report, which he said showed Fort
Hood’s sexual harassment/ assault response and prevention program, also known as SHARP, failed to protect soldiers. “This report without a doubt will cause the Army to change our culture,” McCarthy said Tuesday, adding that the independent investigators suggested a total of 70 changes the Army should make at Fort Hood. “I have decided to accept all of the findings in whole.” As one of the largest U.S. military installations, spanning 218,000 acres across Central Texas, Fort Hood became widely recognized in the past two decades as a staging ground for troops being deployed to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, Fort Hood received negative attention this year after five soldiers died under suspicious circumstances within a few months of each other. The case of Spc. Vanessa Guillen became especially well known and attracted national attention. President Donald Trump met with her family in July and promised to investigate why Fort Hood soldiers were dying at such an unusually high rate while stateside. The deaths of two soldiers – Guillen and Sgt. Elder Fernandes – involve allegations of sexual assault, which prompted A rmy leaders to review their SHARP program as well. While Army officials say no substantial evidence has proven Guillen was a victim of sexual misconduct on post, they do believe Guillen was killed April 22 while working in a weapons room
at Fort Hood. Army officials identified a fellow Fort Hood soldier, Spc. Aaron Robinson, as a suspect in Guillen’s death hours after her remains were located in a nearby county in late June. But Robinson died after shooting himself as local police tried to detain him for questioning, police have said. Guillen’s family maintains, though, that the young soldier was sexually harassed by Robinson and at least one other soldier. On Tuesday afternoon, the Guillen family and their attorney Natalie Khawam plan to hold their own news conference to discuss the investigation and its findings. The family’s allegations sparked the #IamVanessaGuillen social media movement, in which service members shared their own stories of sexual misconduct in the military. The hashtag encouraged Fernandes to report that he, too, was sexually assaulted by a fellow soldier earlier this year. Fernandes was found dead after hanging himself in July. The young soldier had endured repeated harassment after reporting the sexual assault, according to his lawyer at the time. “I am deeply saddened and concerned at the recent news reports of how sexual assault and sexual harassment have plagued our force and brought harm to our soldiers,” McCarthy said in his Nov. 20 statement. “This topic has captivated the attention of America and our Army leaders. It is abundantly clear we must do better.”
the number of licensed, staffed beds when needed, but the level of expansion is finite. Hospitals can also redeploy staff from other parts of the health care system, such as workers who now work in clinics and other outpatient settings or in other procedures. It does decrease outpatient services, “but it can importantly help add bed capacity when it’s most needed,” Ghaly said. Hospitals can also cancel scheduled procedures and work to discharge patients who can be cared for in lowerlevel settings, Ghaly said. These steps come with consequences. Delaying scheduled care for other procedures can come at a health cost for other patients who need hospital care for chronic diseases, like heart disease, which could increase mortality for reasons not related to the pandemic. And relying on hospital staff without
specialized training in intensive care is not ideal, but the last resort when capacity is overstretched. Hospitals can do their best to cancel scheduled surgeries to make way for coronavirus patients. But at a certain point, a crush of patients will eventually lead to surging mortality, such as from overwhelmed nurses and doctors taking care of far too many critically ill Covid-19 patients than they normally would. “This is not an ideal situation and can lead to sub-optimal outcomes for patients,” Ghaly said. There are also growing concerns about hospital staffing becoming tighter if more personnel get sick from Covid-19. Health care workers are being infected by the virus at a pace never before seen in this pandemic. In the past week, there were 1,745 new coronavirus cases among health care workers in L.A. County, more than double what was reported the week before. The California Department of Public Health on Monday said Southern California has an available ICU capacity of 10.9%, and the San Joaquin Valley, 6.3%. In previous waves of the pandemic, other parts of California have been able to help other hardhit spots – San Francisco and San Diego County, for instance, accepted Covid-19 patients from hard-hit Imperial County along the Mexican border. That won’t be possible as much now, with the Bay Area already in the grips of an unprecedented surge.
Trump asks justices, legslatures to ‘have the courage’ to overturn results Tribune Content Agency President Donald Trump called on the U.S. Supreme Court and legislatures in a handful of battleground states Tuesday to “have the courage” to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Speaking at a White House event that was supposed to focus on Covid-19 vaccine distribution, Trump falsely insisted he won the Nov. 3 election and claimed Biden was only crowned the victor because of “terrible” voter fraud. “Let’s see whether or not somebody has the courage – whether it’s legislatures or a justice of the Supreme Court or a number of justices of the Supreme Court – let’s see if they have the courage to do what everybody in this country knows is right,” Trump said. “If somebody has the courage, I know who the next administration will be.” Trump has privately pressured governors and legislators in Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania to undo Biden’s wins and his campaign is actively seeking to get election challenges before the U.S. Supreme Court, but Tuesday’s remarks ranked among his most direct public calls for intervention. Despite Trump’s repeated claims of fraud, no evidence has emerged to suggest Biden’s election victory was facilitated by foul play. In fact, most states, including the six battlegrounds where Trump’s trying to flip Biden’s victories, have certified their results.

Another avenue: The Spartans could lose Friday night and still reach the MWC championship game. If Nevada prevails and then Boise State loses at Wyoming on Saturday, the Wolf Pack would be 7-1 in conference play, the Spartans 5-1 and the Broncos 4-1. Based on the MWC’s threeteam tie-breaking procedures for this season, the title game would pit San Jose State against Boise State. Yes, you can imagine Nevada fans would not be thrilled. . . .
