from 9,000 to 10,000; seven days to go from 10,000 to 11,000; and six day to move from 11,000 to 12,000. Cases totals have increased by more than 1,400 in the seven-day span that ended Thursday. The county has recorded a combined 583 new cases in two days – Wednesday and Thursday. The number of active cases surged Thursday by 315 to 1,553. Hospitalizations also increased Thursday
FAIRFIELD — Dr. Bela Matyas told Solano County supervisors this week that he would – with their approval – issue a prohibition on private gatherings modeled after the state’s stateat-home order. The local order would come ahead of what appears to be an inevitable order from the state anyway, but Matyas was interested in what the board might have to say. “The reason for that is I can Matyas justify that (order),” Matyas said in a phone interview Wednesday, the day after the board meeting. “(Private gatherings) is the venue where the disease is transmitting . . . and (issuing the order) is not inconsistent with the harm reduction message we have been sending for months.” The county reported five more deaths Tuesday linked at least in part to Covid-19, all community-transmitted and linked to Thanksgiving activities. Matyas said he had three more cases to review Wednesday. One more death was added to the county’s total Thursday. The county message will continue with a new “Mask Up Solano” video campaign, using area officials to express why they wear masks and why others should as well. Suisun City Vice Mayor Wanda Williams is also pushing a “Yellow Mask” campaign that officials can wear to emphasize the importance of face coverings. Matyas, the county public health officer, said he did not expect the supervisors would necessarily respond, though Supervisor Jim Spering said he would likely defy the order anyway, noting specifically family gatherings, but also using appropriate safety measures such as masks and social distancing at those events. “I think the message I received was

FAIRFIELD — Solano County’s number of confirmed Covid-19 cases exploded Thursday with 410 new cases reported by Solano Public Health. The county also reported one more death attributed at least in part to the disease. That brings the county’s total to 91. There are now 12,533 confirmed cases countywide. The jump in cases
Thursday continues a trend that has seen the county add approximately 1,000 cases per week with a lesser number of days between each 1,000case milestone. Solano County reached 8,000 cases Nov. 6. The case total crossed the 9,000 mark Nov. 17, the 10,000 mark Nov. 26, the 11,000 mark Dec. 3 and the 12,000 mark Wednesday. It took 11 days to go from 8,000 to 9,000 confirmed cases; nine days to go
State has 10th largest jump in weekly unemployment claims Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

A “going out of business” sign hangs on the Sleep Shop store on North Texas Street in Fairfield, Thursday.
FAIRFIELD — A study released Thursday by WalletHub shows California with the 10th biggest jump in weekly unemployment claims. Much of the state is on some form of lockdown with many businesses closed and others operating at minimal capacity. New unemployment claims
increased week-over-week Nov. 30, up 19% from the previous week. To identify which states’ workforces are experiencing the biggest increases in unemployment claims due to Covid-19, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across three metrics. For the week of Nov. 30, more than 177,837 people filed for unemployment. The figure was 48,434 in 2019. The numbers reflect a 384.31%
change in unemployment claims for the week vs. the start of the year. More than 36,700 people put in claims the week of Jan. 1. The study also included the following questions and answers. How will the distribution of a Covid-19 vaccine impact unemployment? “Once we achieve widespread distribution of a Covid-19 vaccine, people See Claims, Page A8
6 GOP-led states join Texas bid to overturn Biden’s election Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON – Texas’ effort to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory has prompted a legal war between the states, as Supreme Court filings poured in on Thursday. Six fellow Republican attorneys general asked the court to let them join Texas’ Ken Paxton in challenging the outcome in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin. Paxton and the others joined President Donald Trump at a private lunch in the Cabinet Room.
Trump has also asked to join Texas as a plaintiff in the effort to nullify 10.4 million votes in states he lost. Paxton filed the lawsuit late Monday and by Thursday afternoon, 21 states – including four led by Republican governors – had filed objections with the Supreme Court arguing that it would be unconstitutional, unfair and outrageous to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters who cast ballots under procedures they’d been told were perfectly valid. Texas’ allegation is that the governors or courts in the four states
at issue had unlawfully expanded mail-in voting, usurping a power reserved solely for legislatures. Paxton, who co-chaired Lawyers for Trump for the president’s reelection campaign, asked the court to let the legislatures substitute their choice of electors for the 62 collected by Biden as a result of winning more votes in each of those states. Since Republicans control those four legislators, that would presumably turn Trump’s decisive ouster

A fire burns along the Highway 12 offramp at Webster Street bordering Fairfield and Suisun City, Sep. 24, 2019.
Consultant recommends rural Solano fire districts merge for long-term service Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — The rural fire prevention districts in Solano County – Cordelia, Suisun, Vacaville and Montezuma – should merge. That is one of three recommendations made to the Local Agency Formation Commission by the consulting firm of Citygate Associates LLC. Vacaville and Cordelia have already taken steps in that direction, and a task force has been formed to discuss the possibility of adding Suisun into a consolidation arrangement. LAFCO, however, has no authority over the districts. Cordelia’s directors are elected. The board members of the other three are appointed by the
Board of Supervisors. Two supervisors – Jim Spering and John Vasquez – sit on the commission. The 142-page report will be considered by the LAFCO commissioners when they meet at 10 a.m. Monday in the Board of Supervisors chamber on the first floor of the government center, 675 Texas St., Fairfield. The report discusses the primary challenges facing the rural districts, findings and the recommendations. The primary challenges are “revenue limits and the increased cost of fire services;” “rural district post-Proposition 13 tax rates are not designed for modern fire services or the increased emergency medical services demands;” and “dramatically increased
legally mandated training requirements.” “The districts should merge their command and volunteer staffs to improve key personnel resiliency and redundancy. Merging will also improve the cost-effectiveness of headquarters services. It can be done initially via contracts or a Joint Powers Authority of elected officials to provide oversight and planning for a longer-term, permanent solution,” the first recommendation states. The second states, “the districts and LAFCO should immediately engage in a collaborative dialogue relative to the long-term future delivery of rural fire services in Solano County and the potential advantages of one or more forms of a merger.
Dixon PD arrests pair in connection with ID theft case Daily Republic Staff
drnews@dailyrepublic.net
DIXON — A Vacaville woman and Fairfield man were arrested Tuesday morning by the Dixon Police Department on a variety of allegations. Officers located a vehicle known to be owned and driven by Teri M. Hunter, 30, in a motel parking lot on Dorset Drive. Police report that Hunter had two outstanding bench warrants for her arrest. One is for a case in Fairfield, the other for a Suisun City case. Both are misdemeanor cases. Officers located the room Hunter was staying
in and contacted her. Joseph A. Muzio, 40, was also present and was found to be on probation and have an outstanding arrest warrant, police report. Officers located suspected controlled substances, numerous ID cards, several debit cards and other identifying information of dozens of people other than Hunter and Muzio, police report. Hunter and Muzio were placed under arrest and booked into the Solano County jail. Hunter was initially held on suspicion of forgery, obtaining personal identifying information of another person and making a false state-
ment to obtain benefits, all felonies; and misdemeanor allegations of illegal possession of paraphernalia and theft through use of an access card, along with the two warrants. Police report that the case, in part, involves fraud against the state Employment Development Department. Muzio was held on suspicion of obtaining personal identifying information of another person, a felony, and possession of controlled substances, a misdemeanor, along with a suspected felony probation violation. He was also held an outstanding felony bench warrant out of Vacaville.

“Include supplemental special taxing authority with any alternative fire service delivery and governance model to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability,” the third recommendation states. The commission also will consider the Fairfield Suisun Sewer District providing wastewater services to the Middle Green Valley Specific Plan Area. The commission also will consider the annexation of3928 Sierra Vista Drive into the Rural North Vacaville Water District. At its last meeting, the commission announced out of a closed session a $4,000 per year raise to Executive Officer Rich Seithel, who also received an additional week of vacation and a $150 monthly cellphone allowance.
SUISUN CITY — Adoptions are on the horizon. An estimated $12,000 was approved Tuesday on a unanimous City Council vote to launch an Adopt-aStreet program proposed by University of California, Davis, students who live in Suisun City. Amany Saeed and Gisell Mendez, who are finishing college, told the council via the Zoom teleconference platform that they were looking for volunteer opportunities and came across the Adopt-a-Street program in Fairfield. They weren’t able to be part of it because they are Suisun City residents, they said. They are “100% committed,” they said, and will oversee the program in the beginning. It will be modeled after Fairfield’s Adopt-aStreet program. Returning City Councilman Mike Hudson made the motion, which was seconded by new Councilwoman Alma Hernandez. “We had this program before,” Hudson said. “It’s great to have it coming back.” Hernandez wondered how data would be collected. That issue is still being discussed.
Director of Public Works Matt Medill has worked with the students to organize the program. The timing is key, he said, noting some of his staff is quarantined at home after being exposed to the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19. “Picking up trash and weed abatement are where the community can really help,” he said. The city already has a clean team in place, which is more of an informal arrangement. The Adopt-a-Street program is formal. The Adopt-a-Street program will focus on high-profile areas, such as the Sunset Center. Earlier in the meeting, during public comments, Donna LeBlanc mentioned the trash in the area of Rite Aid and Starbucks. Mayor Pro Tem Wanda Williams also spoke of a new program scheduled to launch in 2021: Adopt-a-Neighborhood. It will focus on urban decay, she said. Among the suggestions are a sustainable garden and tool lending library. It will work closely with the Adopt-a-Street program, Williams said. Trash is one of the most common complaints voiced to council members and at City Council meetings.

Plea: Identity theft case The news came from a press release issued Wednesday from the California Department of Insurance. A California Department of Insurance vehicle was burglarized in November 2019 and the gas card was stolen. Detectives investigated the burglary and found several attempts had been made to use the card at gas stations in American Canyon, Vallejo and Benicia. The investigation further uncovered surveillance video of a female
suspect unsuccessfully attempting to use the card multiple times at a Benicia gas station. Rivas was arrested several months later in Marin County on unrelated allegations. She was identified as the suspect who had attempted to use the stolen Visa gas card after a California Department of Insurance detective identified her by analyzing Rivas’ distinct tattoos and comparing them with the individual seen in the surveillance video footage. Rivas was arrested Oct. 28 by Fairfield Police Department officers
Orrin Heatlie first decided Gov. Gavin Newsom should be recalled during the summer of 2019, when the governor expressed support for immigrants living in the state illegally and told them they didn’t need to open the door for federal immigration agents. Heatlie, a retired Yolo County sheriff’s sergeant, has been among a small group of frustrated Californians trying to oust the Democratic governor for more than a year. Past attempts have failed, but the latest push, which Heatlie started in February, has gotten a significant boost from the pandemic. Political experts say the current effort to recall Newsom is still a long shot, but recent Covid-19 missteps by the governor and a recent legal victory have given the effort a second wind. Heatlie points to a range of things Newsom has done to spur recall supporters. They include putting a moratorium on California’s death penalty and signing a law to give judges discretion when handing down sex offender sentences to young LGBT people, which critics have inaccurately said legalized pedophilia. Newsom inadvertently gave the recall effort a boost last month when he attended a 12-person birthday dinner at the swanky French Laundry restaurant in Napa County for a lobbyist friend, even as he told people to avoid seeing family and friends for Thanksgiving.

In brief
Myrlee Holler Potosnik Myrlee Holler Potosnik passed away on Nov. 29, 2020. She will be remembered as an engaged teacher and a gentle caregiver. Myrlee was born on Nov. 13, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Gordon and Bess Holler. An eager student, Myrlee was proud of attending Omaha Central High School where she was active in many clubs and in athletics, where she excelled in swimming. A keen science student, she received several scholarships and decided to attend the University of Nebraska, where she majored in premed. Myrlee’s religious upbringing, and strong interest in science, had influenced her at this time to possibly serve as a missionary doctor. While at the University of Nebraska, she continued competitive swimming and during summer recess taught swimming and counseled at summer youth camps. She went on to complete a Masters Degree in science and in 1952 accepted a teaching position in biology at Armijo High School in Fairfield. When Bob Potosnik was hired a

Mendoza, 42, is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 4. He’s being held in lieu of $100,000 bail for the felony conviction. Mendoza led police on a high-speed chase early Aug. 29 after Vacaville patrol officers tried to make a traffic stop on his vehicle in connection with a report of reckless driving. The chase, which included Mendoza ignoring several stop signs, reached speeds in excess of 100 mph, the Solano County District Attorney’s Office reports. It ended at approximately 2 a.m. and some 33 miles later in American Canyon after Napa police joined the pursuit. A small child was in the rear seat of the vehicle and was not injured, the

That incident in particular spurred an outpouring of frustration from Californians fed up with pandemic restrictions that have harmed businesses, kept people from seeing their loved ones and forced children to stay home from school. The dinner left many with the impression that the governor wasn’t following his own rules, even while the rest of the state had to. “We have a French Laundry list of reasons why people want to recall him,” Heatlie said. “Every day he does something new to give people new reasons to want to come and sign.” The dinner came in the same month a judge granted the recall effort a four-month extension to keep gathering signatures, siding with recall supporters who argued the pandemic shutdown had unjustly impeded their work.

Dan Newman, who works for Newsom as a political consultant, said that with enough money a campaign can pretty much qualify anything for the ballot in California. But he said the effort’s connections to extreme views and association with farright protests will make it politically unsavory in a deep blue state. If they were to qualify a recall effort, they would have to campaign against the governor as he leads a massive statewide effort to vaccinate the population. That would give Newsom a political advantage, Newman said. “They appear to be pro-Trump anti-vaccine extremists,” he said. “That would be interesting and counterproductive position to defend at the same time the governor is distributing the vaccine.” at approximately 6:30 p.m. Wednesday to the area of Carlson and Lemon streets to investigate a report of a shooting and a victim down.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, December 11, 2020 A5
Pelosi suggests lawmakers work through Christmas to secure Covid-19 stimulus Tribune Content Agency It’s beginning to look a lot like members of Congress won’t be going home for the holidays. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Thursday that lawmakers may have to stay on Capitol Hill over Christmas in order to pass another coronavirus relief package before federal unemployment benefits and other key aid programs expire at the end of the year. “People do want to get home for the holidays, such as that is, but what’s more important is that we get the job done for the American people,” the California Democrat told reporters at her weekly news conference. Pelosi, who’s leading Democrats in the at times confounding stimulus negotiations, noted that Congress has stayed in session over the holidays before. “We’ve been here after Christmas, you know. We were here five years ago. We were here five years ago on the budget, and I can tell you stories about that if you want,” Pelosi said, referring to fiscal talks in December 2015 that nearly stretched into the holidays. “So again, it has to be done before year’s end.” Congress is supposed to recess for the rest of the year on Dec. 18, but lawmakers still need to pass annual spending bills to avert a federal government shutdown and hope to appropriate a stimulus package as well. The House bought itself some time Wednesday by passing a continuing resolution that keeps the government open on the same spending levels for another week past Friday’s shutdown deadline. The Senate is expected to pass the same bill before the government runs out of cash at midnight Friday. That leaves lawmakers one week to hash out a stimulus measure that lawmakers hope can be attached to a long-term government spending bill ahead of the new Dec. 18 shutdown deadline. Pelosi said the main priority for her is passing a stimulus that renews a couple of critical federal unemployment programs before they expire the day after Christmas. “We want it before Dec. 26,” she said,” so
that we remove all doubt.” Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and a growing bipartisan group of lawmakers are favoring a $908 billion stimulus blueprint that would fill up the unemployment programs and renew the lapsed federal jobless enhancement at $300 per week; provide budgetary relief for strapped governments in states like New York; allocate more aid for small businesses; and earmark cash for Covid-19 vaccine distribution, among other provisions. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and President Donald Trump’s chief negotiator, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, are favoring another package that would not bring back the enhanced federal unemployment provision or provide bailouts for states. Instead, the McConnell-Mnuchin bill would bankroll $600 stimulus checks to most U.S. taxpayers while renewing the baseline unemployment programs. Democrat s a re not happy with the Mnuchin proposal. Lack of state budgetary aid, they say, could result in mass layoffs of government employees like police officers and health care workers. In New York alone, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says thousands of government workers could be fired if state aid doesn’t come soon. Democrats also aren’t keen on the idea of not bringing back the lapsed federal unemployment boost that kept millions of Americans afloat in the spring. Stimulus talks were expected to continue through the evening Thursday, with McConnell, Pelosi, Mnuchin and Schumer doing most of the talking behind closed doors. Aside from the leadership negotiations, some rank-and-file members are striking out on their own. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., an ardent conservative, is finding unusual common ground with progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in pushing for another round of the $1,200 stimulus checks that most taxpayers got from the first relief package this spring.
In brief
Giuliani received drug unavailable to most NEW YORK — After being discharged from a premier hospital on Thursday, Rudy Giuliani revealed his treatment for Covid-19 included an experimental drug that is in such short supply that some states have set up lotteries to determine which patients should be lucky enough to receive a dose. Giuliani, 76, confirmed in a text message to the New York Daily News that he received Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody cocktail during his five-day stay at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., after testing positive for the virus on Sunday. The Regeneron drug – which Trump also received during his hospitalization for Covid-19 in October – is not available to most people suffering from the virus that has killed more than 291,000 Americans.
Poll: Majority of GOP believe election marred A new Quinnipiac University poll says 77% of Republicans believe there was widespread voter fraud during the November election between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden. In a deeply polarized nation, 60% of registered voters polled believe that Biden’s victory was legitimate, but 34% do not. The latest national poll by the Hamden-based university shows huge differences in political perceptions by voters, based on their party affiliation. Among Democrats, 97% say there was no widespread fraud in the election, but 77% of Republicans believe there was. Among independents, 62% said there was no widespread fraud and 35% said they believe there was. Despite Trump’s claims to the contrary, there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud in swing states. — Tribune Content Agency

Shoppers and diners crowd Main Street in downtown Huntington Beach, Dec. 6.
Lockdown in LA has rest of country wondering who’s next Tribune Content Agency The latest Los Angeles lockdown is another hammer blow for businesses still struggling through the pandemic – and it could be a taste of what lies ahead all over the country. Residents of the secondbiggest U.S. city have been under state orders to stay home since late Sunday, because intensive-care units were dangerously close to full capacity amid a surge in virus cases. Officials elsewhere in the U.S. are in a similar spot, forced to consider tapping the brakes on local economies again just when they were coming back. Indoor dining in New York City may be forced to close Monday if hospitalization rates don’t stabilize. For small firms in particular, the fight for survival could be even tougher this time. Further federal aid has been held up by lawmakers. And L.A. business owners lament that they’ve invested in patios, plexiglass dividers or sanitation stations to keep operating under one coronavirus regime, only to be told it’s not safe enough to stop the spread of the virus and they have to close again. Paul Tyler, who owns the John O’Groats restaurant in West Los Angeles, has no problem with the idea that saving lives must come above profits. But he says policy makers have to be more transparent about how they’re going about it. Tyler’s business got a $166,000 loan under the federal Paycheck Protec-
tion Program approved by Congress in March. That covered a couple of months of payroll. He also put money into seats for outdoor dining – playing to the strengths of sunny L.A. But that’s now banned too, and Tyler is trying to figure out how takeaway food alone can keep the restaurant going long enough to celebrate its 39th anniversary in February. “Common sense has been lacking,” from decision-makers as well as regular citizens, he says. He wonders why officials are banning al-fresco dining but not acting more forcefully against the kind of individual behavior identified by experts as high-risk. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for example, says crowded indoor spaces that are poorly ventilated are a top source of virus transmission.At briefings with reporters, Barbara Ferrer, the L.A. county director of public health, has been pressed for data backing the need to shut outdoor dining. She said meeting friends for dinner is different from activities like shopping, where people spend less time in one place and can wear masks throughout. “We did do things differently” in the new lockdown, she said. “It’s particularly because of what we learned.”Even so, it’s creating a whiplash effect for businesses – and the plea for statistics to back up new rules is a common theme.
Marco Pelusi runs a hair studio in West Hollywood, and says he was prepared to get closed down a second time because he’s been following the surge in virus cases. Even so, he’s disappointed that it’s happening right now, when he’s normally booked solid with clients who want to primp for the holidays – and after spending money to enforce the last set of curbs. “We’ve increased our sanitation exponentially,” he says, and customers generally said they felt safer as a result. “I also have yet to hear of anyone getting Covid at a hair salon.” There’s no doubt that Californians are catching the disease somewhere. Over the past week, Los Angeles County has averaged 8,140 new cases a day, shattering records, according to nonprofit Covid Act Now.And the economic outlook is getting bleaker, too. Jerry Nickelsburg, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast, reckons that the state’s labor market probably won’t return to pre-pandemic levels until 2024 or later.The U.S. Census Bureau says more than half a million people in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim region who were employed before March were out of work in October. In the bureau’s regular survey of households, the number of Los Angeles residents predicting their income will drop over the coming few weeks increased by
almost 1 million between August and late November, the steepest jump in the country. In hindsight, it would’ve been better for authorities to deliver consistent support for “bread and butter” Los Angeles industries – like hospitality, tourism or entertainment – instead of mandating a roller coaster of closures and re-openings, according to Adam Fowler, research director at Beacon Economics. “People are piecing together information from all sources to weather a constantly evolving storm,” he says. “They would have been a lot more comfortable if they knew they’d have the chance to recover, even if they had to be offline for a while.” Kim Vu temporarily shuttered her Sorry Not Sorry cocktail bar because that made more sense than paying staff and other costs while selling takeout and delivery only. With with new ban set to last until at least Dec. 28, Vu says it’s getting harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel. “I agreed with the first lockdown at the time, and just hoped if we were strict we could all re-open and stay open,” says Vu, who subsequently spent $25,000 to resurface a parking lot and set up heating, lighting and tables there. “Now, if somebody told me a big number of cases are coming from outdoor dining, that’s a no-brainer. But where are the facts?
Study: Fewer high school grads enrolled in college this fall amid Covid pandemic Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — The number of students enrolling in college immediately after high school plunged nearly 22% this fall over last year, hitting high-poverty, urban schools hardest – a likely reflection of the coronavirus-related toll on higher education plans, according to a national survey released Thursday. The survey by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center found that the drop-off varied substantially by institution, with community colleges showing the largest enrollment decline among low-income students and public four-year universities the lowest. In California, that pattern appears to hold, although not as dramatically. The report did not break out state data, but California’s higher education systems have tracked similar information. The California Community Colleges system expects an average decline
across 116 campuses of 5% to 7%, but enrollment at the nine-campus Los Angeles Community College District is down by about 10% this fall compared with last year – roughly 270,000 students compared with 300,000 last year. The picture is mixed at the 23-campus California State University system, with enrollment growing at Southern California campuses such as Fullerton, Northridge and San Diego, and dropping among some in the north, including San Francisco, Chico, and Humboldt. While systemwide enrollment is at a record high – in large part due to transfer and continuing students – firsttime freshman enrollment was down 6% systemwide compared with last year. Overall, University of California enrollment of new first-time undergraduates is projected to increase by 2.5% over fall 2019, rising among in-state students and declining among nonresidents. The report’s data supports what many college
counselors in underserved neighborhoods see firsthand. Adding a potential power boost to your retirement plans could be as simple as pairing your 401(k) with a flexible investment account. “Has there been a drop in our graduates enrolling in college last fall? Overwhelmingly, yes,” said Heather Brown, a college counselor at Los Angeles High School, which serves mainly low-income Latino and Black students. Although Brown did not have precise figures for her school, she estimated that the proportion of students who applied to college in fall 2019 but did not enroll the following year may have doubled to 40%. She said many of her students could not overcome numerous enrollment barriers: they or family members contracted Covid-19, for instance. Some left the area in search of safer surroundings or cheaper housing, while others did not have laptops or hotspots
to follow up with college paperwork or attend mandatory online orientations over the summer. Many chose to work instead. Her 2020 high school salutatorian, she said, had been admitted to USC with an $80,000 financial aid package but nearly missed the deadline for accepting the offer because he was working at a construction site in the Antelope Valley after graduation to help his family make ends meet. She hunted him down and helped him complete his paperwork; he is now enrolled at USC. “Mentally, they got knocked off their pathway and got shifted to a whole other life,” Brown said of her students. The research center used preliminary data as of Sept. 18 to estimate the immediate enrollment rates of graduates from more than 2,300 high schools with differing income, racial and neighborhood characteristics. It was not clear how many California high schools and colleges participated.

by Phillip Alder double. Opener bids one of a suit, responder bids one of a major, and the next player bids a suit below two of responder’s. If the opener makes a support double, he shows three trumps in partner’s suit and any hand strength. If he raises responder’s suit, he guarantees four trumps, and the more he bids, the stronger his hand. Here, though, North has made a negative double, showing four hearts. Why use a support double? Well, North might have five hearts if his hand is too weak for a two-heart response. So distinguishing between three and four trumps seems like a good idea to me. Yes, all right, here I had only two hearts, so, over East’s two-club cue-bid raise, I passed. West rebid two spades, and my partner jumped to four clubs. (Yes, she might have made a four-spade splinter bid if she were confident I would realize that she had good club support.) I raised to five clubs, ending the auction. As you can see, six clubs have been made by taking the heart finesse and discarding South’s diamond loser on the heart king. But at Bridge Base Online, with 16 tables in play, seven pairs played in five clubs, six in four clubs, one in three clubs, one in two clubs (don’t ask!) and one in four spades by West.

Marine guilty of smuggling guns to Haiti in purported plot to become president Tribune Content Agency CHARLOTTE, N.C.— A U.S. Marine accused of traveling from North Carolina to Haiti with guns, ammunition and body armor was found guilty of weapons smuggling in federal court Thursday. After a three-day trial, a jury found Jacques Yves Sebastien Duroseau, 34, guilty of conspiring to illegally export and smuggle firearms and controlled equipment from the U.S. to Haiti and transporting firearms without a license to the Haitian Army, the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of North Carolina said in a news release. “Duroseau, who previously held a position of trust within the Marine Corps, betrayed his service and deserves to be held accountable for his illicit attempt to smuggle weapons from the United States to Haiti for the purpose of training the Haitian military,” Special Agent in Charge Sean Devinny said in the release. Du r oseau was arrested Nov. 12, 2019, at the Port-au-Prince airport in the capital of Haiti – which is under an arms embargo – with several guns and ammunition in his luggage, the Miami Herald reported. A Haitian customs agent told the Herald
they “became suspicious when they saw the three black cases, two of which were long.” Duroseau was indicted in the Eastern District of North Carolina two weeks later on charges of gun smuggling. He was returned to North Carolina in December 2019 and a federal judge ordered he be detained until trial, citing the strong weight of evidence against him, his “significant ties outside the United States” and the “erratic behavior leading to his arrest,” court filings show. Duroseau was an activeduty sergeant and military firearms instructor in the U.S. Marine Corps stationed in North Carolina when prosecutors say he boarded an American Airlines flight in New Bern on Nov. 11 with five handguns, three military-style rifles and ammunition in his checked baggage. The weapons included a Ruger model Precision Rifle and an AR-15, according to Thursday’s news release. Some of the weapons were reportedly purchased in Jacksonville, near Camp Lejeune in Eastern North Carolina, McClatchy News previously reported. Duroseau’s case went to trial on Dec. 7, court filings show. It concluded after three days, and a verdict was reached Thursday morning.
Claims: Jobless From Page One will have much less risk of getting the virus, and as a result, businesses will be able to eventually reopen at full capacity,” said Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst, in a press release. “A full reopening will lead to a jump in business revenue and a greater need for workers, which means businesses will have both the desire and the resources to hire in full force. We should encourage as many people as possible to get vaccinated in order to bring about the biggest possible reduction in unemployment.” Should the government step in to help industries like movie theaters avoid going bankrupt? “The government should take actions to prevent highly impacted industries such as movie theaters from going bankrupt. Government restrictions on capacity, though essential for
safety, have caused many places to become unprofitable. We should protect businesses against bankruptcy to prevent another rise in unemployment,” Gonzalez said. “In order to receive assistance, companies and landlords in danger of bankruptcy should also be willing to share in the cost. The government can’t be solely responsible for bailing everyone out.” How do red states and blue states compare when it comes to new unemployment claims? “Blue states had an average rank of 21 among the states with the biggest increases in weekly unemployment claims, compared to 30 for red states,” Gonzalez said. “The lower the number of the ranking, the larger the increase in unemployment claims was.” To see the complete study and methodology, visit wallethub.com/edu/ states-unemploymentclaims/72730.

From Page One to 86 – eight more than the previous day. The seven-day testing positivity rate also jumped from 12.8% Wednesday to 15.2% Thursday, the county reports. The number of completed tests was listed at 142,618 Thursday, up from 141,408 Wednesday
and 140,772 Tuesday, the county reports. That’s a one-day testing positivity rate of 33.9% Wednesday to Thursday. The one-day testing positivity rate was 27.2% Tuesday to Wednesday. Most people who have Covid-19 experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, espe-
cially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia and at times, death. The vast majority of people recover. The World Health Organization reports people with mild illness recover in about two weeks.

Gatherings: Venue for transmissions From Page One we will wait for the (state),” Matyas said. Board Chairwoman Erin Hannigan said it is possible the topic could come up again, but the challenge is, how do the county and cities make it happen? “You can say it . . . you can make it the law of the land, but how do you enforce it?” said Hannigan, who added that other jurisdictions have tried, but it has always failed. Hannigan said the county knows people are going to gather, so the emphasis is on what to do at those events, such as keeping them outside, wearing masks, maintaining social distance, not sharing utensils and taking other steps to keep guests safe. The Greater Sacramento region, comprised of Alpine, Amador, Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties, this week became the third of the state’s five designated regions to come under the order. It went into effect late Thursday night. In addition to the prohibition on private gatherings of any size, it also shuts down or restricts a host of business sectors, including limiting

Residents are only supposed to leave their homes for essential purposes. The order is triggered when the availability of intensive care unit beds for the region falls below 15%. That order will come soon enough for the Bay Area region, of which Solano County is a part. The region’s availability percentage was at 17.8% Thursday, according to state data. Solano County’s availability percentage Thursday was 32%. State data indicate there were 13 ICU beds available countywide.
“The trajectory is we will fall below 15% (as a region) within a week,” Matyas said. Privately, Matyas has said he is opposed to the government trying to tell people how to behave in such circumstances. He said he also believes that had the state, from the beginning, left the Covid-19 response to the counties, Solano would be in a better place today. However, Matyas also views his role within government as an adviser, and the democratic process leaves the decision-making up to the elected officials. “I wanted to give the board a chance to reflect on it,” Matyas said about
self-imposing the private gathering restrictions as the most direct effort to fight Covid-19. 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.
Overturn: Action divides Republicans From Page One into a court-ordered victory and a second term. “Texas’s request to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters who reasonably relied upon the law at the time of the election does great damage to the public interest,” Pennsylvania argued in a response filed Thursday afternoon. “Nothing in the text, history, or structure of the Constitution supports Texas’s view that it can dictate the manner in which four sister States run their elections, and Texas suffered no harm because it dislikes the results in those elections.” The Supreme Court has not decided whether to hear the case yet. Constitutional scholars and experts in election law view Texas’ arguments as outlandish. But Paxton got reinforcements on Thursday when the attorneys general of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Utah – all Republicans – asked the court’s permission to join Texas as a plaintiff. All six were among the 17 GOP-controlled states that filed a friend of the court brief supporting Texas’ allegations on Wednesday. “The joining states agree with Texas: the defendant states exploited the Covid-19 pandemic to justify unlawfully enacting last-minute changes and ignoring both federal and state election laws, thus skewing the results of the 2020 General Election,” Paxton’s office said. States are nearly evenly divided: 20 states and the District of Columbia filed a motion opposing Texas’ lawsuit, including three led by Republican governors, Maryland, Vermont
and Massachusetts. Ohio, also led Republicans, filed a separate objection. Ohio attorney general David Yost – like Trump and Paxton, a Republican – filed a motion Thursday urging the Supreme Court to reject Texas’ request, saying it twists the meaning of the Constitution’s “Electors Clause” that empowers state legislatures to decide how electors are chosen. Ohio agreed that courts and governors could, in theory, go too far interpreting or implementing such edicts. But, Ohio argued, “the relief that Texas seeks would undermine a foundational premise of our federalist system: the idea that the States are sovereigns, free to govern themselves. . . . The courts have no more business ordering the People’s representatives how to choose electors than they do ordering the People themselves how to choose their dinners.” Republicans are sharply divided about the effort, too. U.S. Rep. Chip Roy of Austin, a conservative Republican who served two years as first assistant attorney general in Texas, issued a scathing denunciation of Paxton’s lawsuit Thursday, calling it a “dangerous violation of federalism” that would set “a precedent to have one state asking federal courts to police the voting procedures of other states.” A number of House Republicans intended to file a friend of the court brief siding with Texas. Roy said he could not in good conscience sign on because it “is inconsistent with my beliefs about protecting Texas sovereignty from the meddling of other states.”
Paxton, appearing on Fox Business News, argued that the only way to protect American democracy and ensure that the will of voters is respected is to invalidate millions of votes. “Whether it’s Donald Trump or whether it’s Joe Biden, I just want to make sure that the right person gets elected, based on what the voters did in this country,” he said. Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican who served as the state’s attorney general before his election in 2002, reiterated his opposition to Paxton’s lawsuit. “It’s a little frightening to think about the implications” if one state can challenge actions taken by other states, he told Texas news outlets on a weekly call. Election procedures are controlled state by state. The rules changes that Texas and its allies are challenging now, five weeks after Election Day, were upheld in state courts. Allegations of fraud in Texas’ complaint have been tossed out of dozens of state and federal courts for lack of evidence. Many of the 18 GOPcontrolled states trying to overturn the outcome in the four states Trump lost implemented similar voting rules in response to the pandemic, making their argument hypocritical in the view of University of Texas law professor Steve Vladeck. “The factual allegations Texas makes in its filings are both preposterous on their face and have been soundly discredited by every court that has considered similar allegations to date,” he wrote in an analysis for NBC News. “The notion that it is
appropriate for one state to sue another because of dissatisfaction with the results of the election in that state is not just offensive; it is belied by at least one prior case in which the court refused exactly that relief. And allowing Texas to bring a suit like this would inevitably open the floodgates – to California suing Texas over its environmental regulations; to New York suing Florida over its Covid-19 response; and so on.” “All of this may help to explain why the Texas solicitor general – the state’s leading advocate before the Supreme Court – did not sign onto any of the filings in this new suit,” Vladek wrote. The attorneys general in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, all Democrats, issued a joint statement denouncing Texas’ effort, calling it an attempt to “disregard the will of the people in our three states.” Pennsylvania’s filing accuses Texas of holding off on its challenge until it knew the outcome, and that’s too late. “While Texas waited to see the results, millions of voters relied on the settled rules. Those voters should not be punished for not choosing Texas’s preferred candidate, and Texas should not be rewarded for its unreasonable delay in bringing this action,” the commonwealth argued in its Supreme Court response. Their counterpart in Georgia, Chris Carr, who chairs the Republican Association of Attorneys General, has likewise blasted the Texas challenge, calling it “constitutionally, legally and factually wrong about Georgia.”

Brexit dinner leaves no deal looking likely, officials say Tribune Content Agency Negotiations between the EU and the U.K. are on course to end without a trade deal barring a dramatic last-minute intervention, according to officials with knowledge of the discussions. Wednesday night’s dinner between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen left officials on both sides expressing concern that it may be impossible to reconcile their differences. The officials said that while the mood of the meeting in Brussels was cordial, it didn’t change much of substance – something that needs to happen with only days remaining
to find a deal. Negotiators from both sides will spend the coming days searching for a breakthrough before the latest deadline, set for Sunday. So far, their discussions have been deadlocked over disagreements on the EU’s right to fish in British waters and the so-called level playing field for business. There is still no sign of how the differences on the latter issue can be bridged, an EU official said. The U.K. says that, for reasons of sovereignty, it must not be forced to follow the bloc’s competition rules as they change. The EU says Britain must to protect the integrity of the bloc’s single market.
Both sides have come to the realization that such a divide might be unbridgeable, the EU official said. If an accord isn’t reached by the end of the year, businesses and consumers will be hit by additional costs and disruption as tariffs and quotas are imposed on trade with the U.K.’s biggest and closest commercial partner. The pound led declines among major currencies on Thursday, falling as much as 1% to $1.3262. Options traders are bracing for turbulence around the Sunday deadline, with the spread between one-week and two-week implied volatility at the widest in a year.

A United Airlines flight takes off at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, July 6.
United makes investments to be carbon neutral by 2050 Tribune Content Agency United Airlines is pledging to become carbon neutral by 2050, in part through a new investment in carbon capture technology. The Chicago-based airline said it signed a letter of intent to make an initial multimilliondollar investment in a company building the first industrial-sized plant in the U.S. using direct air capture technology to remove carbon dioxide from the air. United declined to specify the amount of the investment in 1PointFive, a partnership between Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, a subsidiary of oil and gas company Occidental, and Rusheen Capital Management, or the timeline for building the plant. Companies – United included – have purchased carbon offsets to reduce the impact of their greenhouse gas emissions, but traditional offsets “do almost nothing to tackle the emissions from flying,” United CEO Scott Kirby said in a letter announcing the investment. “More importantly, they simply don’t meet the scale of this global challenge. Carbon emissions have increased 4000 times since the industrial revolution. It’s just not realistic to think we can plant enough trees to start bending that curve today,” he said. Traditional offsets cancel out emissions by funding programs that reduce emissions elsewhere, like forest conservation. The plant United’s investment will help fund is expected to capture and sequester 1 million tons of carbon dioxide each year using direct air capture technology. That’s equivalent to about 40 million trees, but will cover about 3,000 times less land, according to United. The project would capture enough carbon dioxide to offset nearly 10% of United’s annual emissions, Kirby said. 1PointFive will use the carbon dioxide captured in lower-carbon oil production before storing it deep underground, but the plant will not lead to new oil production, he said. United’s pledge to be carbon neutral sets a more aggressive goal than the industry-wide target of cutting emissions in half by 2050 and matches the U.K. aviation industry’s pledge to reduce net carbon emissions to zero by 2050, announced earlier this year. United also is working to reduce the amount of emissions it creates, including through investments in biofuels, which generate less emissions than traditional jet fuel. Those fuels are in short supply relative to the industry’s demand today, though United uses some at its hub in Los Angeles and has invested in a biofuel company that plans to build a plant in Gary. Even with sustainable fuels, flying still generates greenhouse gases: Last year, United pur-
chased 40 metric tons of carbon offsets to balance out the greenhouse gas emissions it wasn’t able to eliminate from a flight between Chicago and San Francisco designed to be as green as possible.
The investment comes in the middle of an unprecedented crisis for the airline industry. Airlines got billions of dollars in federal aid this spring as the coronavirus pandemic brought travel to a halt.

RAIDERS
Clelin Ferrell coming off game even Khalil Mack would envy Tribune Content Agency For the first time anywhere other than on a list of Raiders’ top draft picks, Khalil Mack was looking up at Clelin Ferrell. Ferrell, the No. 4 overall pick in 2019 by the Raiders, will be inextricably linked to Mack since he was a defensive end selected to help replace the man the Raiders took at No. 5 in 2014 but traded away after a contract dispute before Jon Gruden ever coached his first game. It’s probably not fair to Ferrell in that he’s a different player than Mack, a defensive end by trade who is also showing he can do some good work inside at tackle. Mack was strictly an edge player, whether it be as a 4-3 end with the Raiders or a 3-4 outside linebacker for the Chicago Bears. And while Mack has 68 career sacks and 22 forced fumbles now in his seventh season, he never as a Raider had two strip sacks which resulted in fumbles recovered by his team as Ferrell did Sunday against the New York Jets. It had been 15 years since Tommy Kelly last had two strip sacks in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. “Kind of breaking through there, having two strip sacks like that in one ballgame can only build his confidence up,” Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said Thursday in a video conference. “He’s doing a good job both inside and outside for us and hopefully he can continue on that trend because we’re going to need him.” Ferrell’s next target is Philip Rivers, playing with a heel injury and not particularly mobile at age 39. Rivers was the last player sacked by Ferrell in Week 16 last season before he got the pair against Sam Darnold against the Jets. Following the win over the Jets, Ferrell pushed back on the idea that he’d had a breakthrough of any kind. “I wouldn’t call it a breakout game. I feel like I’ve had a number of good games throughout my career,” Ferrell said. “I would say though that just throughout this season, it’s been kind of chipping at the wood every single week. I feel like I’ve gotten close on a lot of different pressures. It was good not just getting sacks, but strip sacks which turned into turnovers for the team. I’m just trying to carry it over to this last stretch that we’ve got coming up with the next three home games.” Ferrell’s first sack came at right end, when he raced See Ferrell, Page B2
Smith recalls ups and downs of 49ers tenure, wants to retire to Bay Area Tribune Content Agency Alex Smith’s fondness for the Bay Area eventually will lead him back to where his NFL career began 15 years ago. It won’t be Sunday when the 49ers have to host him and Washington at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., because of Santa Clara County’s Covid-19 guidelines banning
In a move that reflects shifting attitudes across much of the sports world, U.S. Olympic leaders will no longer punish American athletes who raise a fist or kneel in protest on the medals stand. The new policy follows similar changes made by professional leagues such as the NBA and NFL in the wake of last spring’s national protests over the death of George Floyd. “We believe that Team USA athletes, in line with many other sports and leagues
born at Stanford. It’s still the plan for that to be home for us,” Smith said Thursday on a media conference call. “The Bay Area is a place really special to us. We’ve spent a lot of time there in the offseason and it is amazing to be out and about and have that kind of response.” Smith is a 49ers fan favorite, but it was a hard road to take, which he did with dignity and perseverance from 2005-
12. From fans chanting for his benching to annual turnover among his coordinators, Smith hung in with the franchise until it regained playoff footing in his final two years. “It was hard, really hard. I don’t wish that on anybody,” Smith said. “It’s part of why I want to help young QBs. It was very difficult and a hard See Smith, Page B10

and state championships this season for those sports, and pushing boys volleyball to Season 2 to keep it from having its championships wiped out two straight years. Coaches and administrators weren’t caught by surprise, but are as anxious as their athletes to get things started. Melissa Wilson, Armijo athletic director and softball coach, said the announcement “is disappointing, but we all knew it was coming. Since mid October we knew Solano County would move down a tier. Through this process all coaches have remained positive for their athletes and hopefully we can continue conditioning for our athletes’ physical and mental well-being.” “The postponement is
No easy answer for return of sports equation amid pandemic PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET
According to a release Tuesday by the Sac-Joaquin Section, returning to play is a simple equation: “Governor/California Department of Public Health Guidelines Released plus County Health Tier Color equals Play On!!!!!” Unfortunately, the equation is essentially on one of those chalkboards that take up the entire front of the classroom and require a tall ladder to get to the top. The already severely altered high school sports year was scheduled to begin Monday in the SJS with the start of practice in football and cross country.

Once Smith’s career ends – it’s still playing out in Hollywood-like fashion amid this season’s comeback from a life-threatening leg injury – he intends to return to where the first eight years of his pro career began and where he learned so many lessons, good and bad. “My wife is from the Bay Area. All three of my kids were

But, with the Tokyo Summer Games fast approaching, the announcement Thursday could cause friction with one prominent organization – the International Olympic Committee.

leyball and badminton were set to begin Dec. 14. But as the equation states, it requires Gov. Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Public Health to release the long-awaited “Return to Play Guidelines.” And with most California counties, including all of those in the Sac-Joaquin Section, in the most restrictive purple tier and the state under a newly imposed stay-at-home order for at least three weeks, returning to play isn’t going to happen anytime soon. The California Interscholastic Federation acknowledged that fact last week when it announced that it was postponing the start of Season 1 (football, cross country, water polo, girls volleyball and badminton), eliminating regional

Kerr outlines W’s careful path forward with Green, Wiseman Tribune Content Agency Both Draymond Green and James Wiseman are making small strides after recently testing positive for the coronavirus but neither will play in Saturday’s exhibition opener against the Denver Nuggets – or perhaps in any preseason game – Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. Kerr said Green, who returned to the Warriors’ practice facility for the first time Thursday, lifted weights, sat in on the team’s film session and might be able to get on the court as soon as Friday in limited fashion. Wiseman again
watched the Warriors practice from afar, but was able to do “limited and light” individual work and get some shots up before Thursday’s practice got underway, Kerr said. Per NBA protocol, Wiseman and Green must self-quarantine for 10 to 12 days after the initial positive test, register two negative tests and be cleared by both a team- and league-designated physician to return. “So this is just the early stages of him being able to get back out on the court,” Kerr said of Wiseman, “so we’re just following the protocols so he got a few shots up, but that’s about it.” After Saturday’s game at
Chase Center, the Warriors play games in Sacramento against the Kings on Tuesday and Thursday. The regular season opener is Dec. 22 in Brooklyn against Kevin Durant and the Nets, and at best, it appears Green and Wiseman will both be limited in what they can do in that game. “We’ve got to be very careful and smart, given the layoff,” Kerr said. “We’re all coming off a (long layoff and have a) short amount of time as it is for training camp. There’s no way I throw either guy into an NBA game right away. You’ve got to See W’s, Page B10

student athletes often and I am doing my best to keep their spirits up. Our fingers are crossed that things get better soon. We do have several teams that are conditioning and I think that has helped our student athletes’ mental and physical well-being.� Ironically, save for poor air quality because of fires when the fall season would normally have started in August, the weather has been perfect for outdoor athletic competition. For Vanden football coach Sean Murphy, it’s been “disappointing and frustrating� to be sidelined, especially when others elsewhere have taken the field. “To have watched 40 other states successfully and safely play football makes the postponement of our season even more frustrating,� Murphy said. “However, we understand Covid cases have been rising in our area and we want to make sure our student-athletes can compete safely.� One casualty, regardless of when sports return, is the cancelation of Season 1 regional and state championships. The Vanden volleyball team won an SJS Division III championship in 2018 and has been a NorCal partic-

ent districts or boards. “From a scheduling stand point we don’t know what other schools outside our district are able to do once we are able to start,� Melissa Wilson said. “We may have to redo some schedules.� Wilson added that compressing the schedule will make it more difficult for athletes to compete in more than one sport, but hopes that concern doesn’t become a moot point. “I just hope every student athlete has the opportunity to play,� she said. For Eddie Wilson, returning to play is indeed an equation, but one that will require the participation of everyone to be solved. “Obviously, we need to seize control of the pandemic,� Wilson said. “We need people to act responsibly to mitigate the spread. Beyond that, we are going to need to be persistent and creative in seeking pathways for a return to competition. “We need folks in administration to lead those efforts and we need coaches and families to be supportive in executing the plans that are ultimately devised. And, we need athletes to remain optimistic and to continue preparing for that day when we get word that we can play!�
The plays came after Ferrell had missed two games on the Covid-19 list after testing positives and having symptoms. As a rookie, Ferrell was slated to play mostly at end but moved inside because of injuries. He’s now developed inside to the point where playing both could be his job moving forward. Ferrell’s 52 snaps were second only to Crosby’s 56 for defensive linemen against the Jets. Plus, as Guenther explained to Ferrell, there’s an inherent advantage to pass rushing against guards as
opposed to tackles. “I tell him in this league they pay the tackles big money, maybe not necessarily the guards,� Guenther said. “So if we can get some speed guys inside on those passing situations, he’s really learned how the different steps of a tackle would take rather than a guard who will put his hands on you a little bit faster. I think he’s got a better feel for that inside because there’s a different element in the rush.� Ferrell has come as advertised in terms of attitude, effort and lead-
ership. The former Ted Hendricks Award winner out of Clemson isn’t short on confidence, either. “When we put it all together, I don’t think there’s a team in this league that isn’t afraid of us,� Ferrell said. “People have seen we’ve beaten the so-called world champions. We’ve beaten the Saints. We’ve played well against the top tier teams. We’ve got a long ways to go, but for this last stretch we’ve got to focus on putting it together as a team and realizing we’ve got the ability to go deep into the playoffs.�
Protests: IOC reluctant to make change From Page B1 other areas.� Earlier this year, the IOC issued a threepage supplement to the rule, which bans kneeling or otherwise failing to adhere to strict protocol during medal ceremonies. Signs, armbands and hand gestures are also prohibited. The IOC’s reticence to change doesn’t surprise Mark Dyreson, a Penn State professor who studies Olympic history. “They were among the last holdouts on amateurism, too,� he said. There are signs that the protest issue is forcing a schism in the Olympic movement. Earlier this week, the international track federation honored Tommie Smith and John Carlos, the American sprinters who struck an iconic pose when they raised there black-gloved fists on the podium at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. IOC Pres-

County,� Murphy said. “As we move forward it’ll be a step-by-step, moment- by-moment (thing), to see how things go for future seasons,� Scolavino said. “I’m keeping our fingers crossed that we are all doing the right things and that we will, eventually, get to play volleyball.� Armijo cross country and track coach Matthew Pence sees the introduction of vaccines as a big step, though widespread availability might not come soon enough. “I think sports will return next school year (2021-22) once there is a vaccine available to everyone,� Pence said. “Until then, I think the districts and the CIF will see sports as unsafe because of the large groups of people that get together for them.� Should sports be able return in early 2021, another necessity is getting respective school districts to allow it to happen. The Monticello Empire League, for example, is made up of schools from the Fairfield-Suisun (Armijo, Fairfield, Rodriguez), Vacaville (Vacaville, Will C. Wood) and Travis (Vanden) school districts. The Sierra Delta League, which includes Rio Vista and Vacaville Christian, will have schools from seven differ-

ipant for several seasons. “Having the NorCal state finals being canceled is of course disappointing,� Vikings coach Cindy Scolavino said, “However, (the postponement) does seem to be a logical move until we can get this virus in hand. It is very disappointing though – for our seniors especially.� The Sac-Joaquin Section will have an update somewhere between Jan. 18-25 regarding the fate of SJS championships. “Hopefully we will have a better idea where we are at with the pandemic and where everybody is in counties at that time to be able to make a statement,� SJS Commissioner Mike Garrison told The Record of Stockton. “So we could have full playoffs, we could have a hybrid-type playoffs or we could have no playoffs. It just depends where we are at.� So, beyond the Sac-Joaquin Section’s equation for returning, what will it take for the athletes and their teams to get back in action? Area coaches and athletes know it’s up to their communities getting Covid-19 under control, but they still plan to do all that they can. “I think we need the public in general to follow the guidelines set by the health department and we need to see cases of Covid-19 drop in Solano

Speaking to a small group of reporters on Thursday, federation president Sebastian Coe, who is also an IOC member, did not back down. “Look, I support the right of athletes to be a part of the world they live in and I don’t think we can have it both ways,� Coe said. “Supporting the athletes if they choose to reflect in that way, at a Games or in and around a podium, as long as they do it respectfully . . . I’m not going to get sleepless nights over that.� The USOPC was forced to address the controversy in the summer of 2019 when fencer Race Imboden and hammer thrower Gwen Berry staged separate podium protests at the Pan American Games in Peru. The organization placed both athletes on probation but, after widespread backlash, established a Council on
Racial and Social Justice, which on Thursday issued its recommendation regarding protests and demonstrations. While stating its opposition to “divisive dem-
onstrations� – anything involving hate speech, racist propaganda or political statements – council members called to “end the prohibition of peaceful protests.�

2020 a tragic year for rap stars
I
t’s clear that 2020 has been one of the most horrific years in recorded history – from high-profile tragedies, civil unrest, racial violence, political turmoil, natural disasters to a worldwide deadly pandemic that has devastated the entire planet. As if that was not enough, we’ve also had a disturbing number of rap artists who have been violently killed this year. The rap industry is far from new to violence. From Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., Jam Master J, to Nipsey Hussle, the rap game has lost many of its heavy hitters to violence over the years. Unfortunately, 2020 has been even more tragic for the rap industry: n Brooklyn-born rapper Pop Smoke died in the early morning hours of Deon D. Price Feb. 19 after being shot in the Hollywood Hills. n Brooklyn rapper KJ Balla was shot in the chest May 22 in the borough’s East New York neighborhood. He was later pronounced dead at Brooklyn University Medical Center. He was 23. n On Nov. 6, Chicago rapper King Von was shot and killed outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge in downtown Atlanta. He was 26. n On Nov. 11, Dallas rapper MO3 was shot and killed during an altercation on Interstate 35. He was 28. n Rapper Lil Yase shot dead at a San Francisco Bay Area train station. The 26-year-old Northern California rapper was gunned down over the Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, the controversy around violence has been part of the rap game since its early existence. After BDP “Boogie Down Productions” member and DJ Scott La Rock was murdered, artist KRS-One formed the Stop the Violence Movement in hopes of encouraging the hip-hop community to end violence. The first song, “Self Destruction,” was released in 1988 by various rap artist including KRS-One, Public Enemy, McLyte, Heavy D, Kool Moe D and others. It quickly became a hip-hop anthem as a call to end violence in the hip-hop community. Despite the stop the violence movement, violence continued to directly affect the rap industry well into the 1990s. In fact, it would create more national attention with the death of high-profile rap stars Tupac Shakur in 1995 and Notorious B.I.G. in 1996. Many, including myself, have argued that the influence and popularity of Gangsta rap music in the late 1980s and 1990s perpetuated the increase of violence in the rap industry and the urban community. The glamorization of gang activity, gun violence and thug lifestyle, framed as “keeping it real” in rap music, has continued to have deadly consequences. As a youth service worker for at least 25 years, I have been on the unpopular side of this issue of holding artists accountable for what messages they send through their music. During the height of the Gangsta Rap movement in the mid-1990s, I was aggressively approached by several local artists after a panel discussion with local community leaders and local hip-hop artists at a Bay Area community college. Inspired by my disgust for seeing so many young men being killed or incarcerated as a result of falling prey to the influence of the so called thug/gangsta lifestyle, my message was honest and harsh to the artists who have been financially benefiting while our youth are losing their lives. I was not in awe of their celebrity status nor was I intimidated by their attitudes. My presentation was met with serious contention and even threats. Are these recent deaths in the rap industry a reflection of the violence that exists in the community or is it a direct effect of the lifestyle that comes with the rap game? Your thoughts? Deon D.

Executive Order 9981 officially ended segregation in the armed forces in 1948, but seven decades later, women are still fighting for the right to serve in all combat roles. In the Pentagon’s history, only 79 women have ever served as a political appointee there, even though they make up half the population (for context, there are currently about 60 top-level Pentagon positions). Strong supporters of Biden may try to give Austin the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps, they’ll say, there weren’t any candidates with deep China expertise and extensive Pentagon experience, and whose background also exemplified the administration’s progressive principles. Except there was. Michèle Flournoy has almost three decades of Pentagon experience, most recently serving as undersecretary of defense for policy in the Obama administration. Her professional expertise and experience have focused on the challenge of China, specifically how to restore conventional U.S. deterrence as the Chinese military continues to modernize and grow. She would have been a strong, effective civilian leader and the first woman to run the organization. For weeks, my conservative colleagues have been taking to the airwaves to argue Biden will be weak on China. As a strong supporter of Biden, I am reluctant to give them any fodder. But the nomination of Austin suggests that they may be right on this one.

That’s twice what Oklahoma, which has the best highways, spends, so California clearly hasn’t been getting much bang for its gas tax bucks. The big tax increase, which also included a stiff hike in auto registration fees, raises an estimated $5 billion a year and was billed as a way to catch up on decades of maintenance neglect. The money is going out the door. Earlier this year, the California Transportation Commission approved $17.4 billion in state and federal funds for nearly 900 projects that will, the commission’s chairman, Paul Van Konynenburg said, “make roads and bridges safer for California drivers (and) will save drivers money by fixing the potholes that can damage vehicles.” The tax increase legislation requires the California Department of Transportation to meet certain goals by 2027, including that 98% of the pavement on the state highway system be in good or fair condition and that at least an additional 500 highway bridges get fixed. Will Californians actually see better roads, or will deterioration outpace even this big boost in spending? We may know by 2027.

on’t miss: “Celebrity IOU:” Keep the tissues handy. Twins Drew and Jonathan Scott are back in the kind of feel-good series that so many of us could use right now. The premise? Hollywood stars express their sincere gratitude to friends, mentors and family members who have had a major impact on their lives by gifting them with heartwarming home renovations that bring everyone to tears. Brad Pitt got the ball rolling in season one with a surprise project for his longtime makeup artist. Celebrities participating this season include Zooey Deschanel, Justin Hartley, Allison Janney and Rainn Wilson. (9 p.m. Monday, HGTV).
Other bets Sunday: It’s time to give that scrawny little tree some love. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” might have a new home on Apple TV+, but the long-running “Peanuts” special also gets a broadcast airing tonight. (7:30 p.m., PBS and PBS Kids). Sunday: “A Sugar and Spice Holiday” is Lifetime’s first film to feature a mostly Asian cast. It follows a Chinese American woman (Jacky Lai) who draws upon her family’s cultural traditions to “spice up” a Christmas baking competition. Of course, she also finds love in the process. (8 p.m., Lifetime). Sunday: “Pennyworth,” the origin story about Batman’s future butler, returns for season two. Now England is embroiled in a brutal civil war, with the corrupt Lord Harwood (Jason Flemyng) threatening to control the entire country. Could Alfred Pennyworth be pondering a move to Gotham City? (9 p.m., Epix). Monday: Singer Kelli O’Hara and actor Richard Thomas are on hand for the 17th annual “Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir,” an hourlong Americanathemed special that celebrates holiday traditions, songs and stories. (9 p.m., PBS;
BYUtv will air the full 90-minute concert Dec. 17). Tuesday: Kevin Bacon and Eve host “Play On: Celebrating the Power of Music to Make Change.” It’s a star-studded concert benefitting the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund and WhyHunger. Among the artists appearing are Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Ringo Starr, Sara Bareilles, Sheryl Crow and Bon Jovi. (8 p.m., CBS). Wednesday: Another edition of “The Masked Singer” comes to a close with the crowning (and unmasking) of a new champion. But not before a bloated two-hour finale stuffed with clips of the best moments and performances from the entire season. (8 p.m., Fox). Wednesday: As the sci-fi drama series “The Expanse” launches a new season, the crew of the Rocinante and their allies confront the sins of their past, while Marco Inaros delivers an attack that will alter the future of Earth, Mars, the Belt and the worlds beyond the Ring. (Amazon Prime). Thursday: It’s time to unleash some canine appreciation. In the special “Dogs of the Year,” hosts Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner count down the top 10 dog stories of 2020, spotlighting the dogs that go above and beyond to leave their mark on society. (8 p.m., The CW). Friday: In the new film “Christmas on the Menu,” a celebrated chef (Kim Shaw) heads home to spend the holidays at the quaint bed-andbreakfast where she grew up, and where her mother just opened a restaurant. Things get tense when a famous food critic arrives to give his review. (8 p.m., Lifetime). Saturday: “Letters to Satan Claus,” a spoof of cheesy holiday films, had us at the title. As a child, Holly (Karen Knox) made an unfortunate typo in her letter to Santa that had hellish consequences. Now a TV news reporter, she returns to her hometown of Ornaments to face the demon of her past. (8 p.m., Syfy).

A child mails his letter to Santa in the documentary “Dear Santa.”
USPS helps Christmas dreams come true
‘Dear Santa’ takes inside look Los Angeles Times Damion DiGrazia will never forget his first taste of Christmas magic. As a kid living with his single mother in low-income housing, DiGrazia and his two siblings were prepared to have “a rough Christmas.” “My mom was trying to make ends meet and also find a way to get some presents for us kids,” he remembered. She told him to write a letter to Santa asking for two things, to give Santa some options. “The only thing I could think to ask for was either an alarm clock, because I didn’t have one of my own, or a radio because we didn’t have a TV or radio in the house,” said DiGrazia. “When I opened up the present, it was an alarm clock radio. It was exactly what I wanted and I kept it for a really long time.” The gift left a indelible impression on DiGrazia, who has been paying it forward for the past six years as a volunteer with Operation Santa, the 107-year-old United States Postal Service program that funnels hundreds of thousands of kids’ Santa letters to people looking to fulfill their requests. Today DiGrazia and his nonprofit Santa’s Knights adopt as many as 400 letters each year, personally shopping for, wrapping and delivering gifts to kids in the New York City area. “It’s an ongoing way to continually have Christmas magic in my life and to relive those childhood moments,” said DiGrazia. “It really is an immeasurable experience to be a part of that machinery. Every year that goes by, I want to help more.” Director Dana Nachman first heard about Operation Santa through Deborah Halverson’s book “Letters to Santa,” which was released in tandem with the program’s centennial in 2013. “I would read it every year to my kids and I just fell in love with the story,” she said. After flirting with the idea of adapting it into a film for several years, Nachman finally

got the OK from the USPS to showcase the inner workings of the operation for “Dear Santa,” now available on demand and in select theaters. The heartwarming documentary offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at some of the generous strangers who pitch in to lighten Santa’s load, including Jamie Truby, a mail carrier in Chico, Calif., who has participated in the program for a decade. “It’s something that’s kind of been handed down from carrier to carrier,” she said. For the past four years, Truby has been in charge of procuring and wrapping items, last year delivering more than 160 gifts and nearly 40 letters from Santa in her area (her co-workers pitch in financially and help with distribution). “On Christmas Eve, I (give) the presents to the carriers and the carriers knock on each door with this wrapped present – all it says is it’s from Santa Claus,” she said. “The kids are so excited, like, ‘How did you know?’ And the parents often have no idea we’re even doing it. They’re like, ‘Oh my God, I didn’t think the letter was going to go anywhere.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, yeah. It did.’” “I’ve wanted to tell this story for (seven) years,” said Nachman. “I always thought it was hugely compelling, but probably never more so than now. I intended the film to be a love letter to the United States Postal Service and it’s really exciting to give [appreciation] when they need it most.” Despite being raised Jewish, the filmmaker has had an affinity for Christmas since she was a kid visiting the local mall Santa with her mom. “I had no idea that Jewish kids didn’t do this because my mom took me every year,” she said with a laugh. “We never had a Christmas tree or anything, but every year the one thing I would ask for would be to [go see Santa].” Each December since 2013, Nachman reflected on the cinematic potential of “Letters to Santa” as she read it to her kids, but “you can’t very well call
over to the United States Postal Service in their busiest week,” she said. “Finally in 2018 I said, ‘Enough is enough. I need to just write to them and they can deal with it in March if they want to.’ And they wrote me back right away. We talked for several months and they brought it up the chain and eventually agreed. “They did have two major concerns,” she added. “The first was that I promise not to ruin Christmas for kids. I never had any intention of doing that. I love Christmas and I had every intention of making this film family-friendly and spoiler-free.” The second involved how she would scout participants without violating the USPS’ strict privacy terms. “We had to come up with an elaborate plan,” said Nachman. “I would see the letters after [the USPS had redacted personal identifying information] so I wouldn’t know anything about the origin. Sometimes it would have the first name of the kid and nothing else.” After selecting potential subjects, the USPS would send express mail letters to the parents explaining Nachman’s interest, along with her contact information. If they agreed to participate, “Then we would book the flights,” said Nachman. “We just had to go wherever they were.” That included the “North Pole” – to film “Santa’s elves” in action. “The elves are very, very busy so they were very eager for us to do what we had to do and leave,” said Nachman. “But it was pretty amazing to see all the letters come in and see how they were classified.” Nachman hopes the film inspires more people to adopt letters – this year marks the first time the program is nationwide and, due to Covid-19 restrictions, exclusively online – and perhaps helps to restore faith in humanity during challenging times. “If [the movie] just brings you joy and cheer and all those good feelings, then great,” she said.

strength. There isn’t one in this deal, but its absence had an influence on the defense. The board occurred when Argentina faced USA1 at the 2005 Bermuda Bowl world team championship in Portugal. In the auction, Jeff Meckstroth (North) cue-bid two clubs with his surprisingly strong hand. Then, when Eric Rodwell (South) showed his second suit, North jumped to game. Sitting West was 18-year-old Agustin Madala. If he had led his singleton, he would have beaten the contract easily.

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. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services.

A.P.N #.: 0033-204-180 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. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-61466. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Dated: 11/19/2020

Smith: Benched in favor of Kaepernick From Page B1 road to go down. “I learned a lot from it. I don’t think it’s totally necessary and it doesn’t have to be that way. A lot of that was my fault as well. It can get handled differently, and I’ve witnessed it.� Just when Smith found success in 2011 and ’12 under coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman (his seventh in as many years), the 49ers kept him on the bench in favor of Colin Kaepernick for their 2012 team’s Super Bowl run. Smith was dealt to Kansas City, made the playoffs there 4 of 5 seasons, then got traded in 2018 to Wash-

I learned a lot from that. “The last couple years (in 2011-12), when we got it going and turned around, the confidence that started there, I took it with me to the next part of my career and the trade.

of digging ourselves out of it, it led me to that next kind of phase.� What advice does he give to young quarterbacks in dealing with criticism? “Nobody has it easy. You’re never going to make everybody happy. Don’t try,� Smith said. “Be confident in who you are, be comfortable in your own skin. My biggest problem my first years was trying to get everybody to like me. That’s just not realistic and practical. “So often we get compared to others, especially quarterbacks. Be comfortable how you do it. A lot of guys are doing it differently and having a lot of success. Have your own game and own that.�

From Page B1 build up to that.� Wiseman has not played a competitive, organized game in 13 months and needs all the practice time he can get with the Warriors before the season opener. He’s been working with team consultant, player development coach Theo Robertson and assistant coach Jarron Collins. “It just pushes everything back,� Kerr said of Wiseman’s developmental plan. “It’s unfortunate because these are very important practices this week. So the only thing we’ve been able to do is have him sit and watch practice, and then watch film – both with the team
and individually – and be tutored off the court. “As soon as he’s on the court, we’ll do as much as we can with him to get him up to speed.� In the meantime, their absences, for now, could give opportunities for other players to assume a larger role, such as forwards Alen Smailagic and Kevon Looney at the center position. “What we’re looking for is improved play over the course of the week,� Kerr said. “This is more just about us, trying to get get better this week and build a little momentum for next week.� By design, the Warriors’ practice Thursday lasted only about 40 minutes.
