Congress inches toward $900B stimulus plan Tribune Content Agency

Solano experiences highest single-day increase in cases Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — Solano County Public Health phone lines were burning up Thursday as business owners and their supporters pleaded for local health officials to stop the state’s restrictive stay-athome order that went into effect at 11:59 p.m. The official start of the order ended a day on which the county reported a pandemic-high 444 new cases, and a record high 20.1% seven-day positivity testing rate.
“Not surprisingly, a lot of people are upset, and we are getting a lot of calls,� Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview just six hour before the new health order went into effect. Matyas said the vast majority of the calls were people asking if there was any way to prevent the order from gripping the county. He said the frustration level is high because not only did it cost businesses a lot of money to reopen the first time, but the tracking evidence shows businesses are
not where the transmissions are taking place. People are being infected by friends and family, Matyas said. A Vacaville businessman asked the Board of Supervisors this week why big-box stores and busy airports are allowed to stay open, and why that risk is any different than his restaurant being allowed to stay open. Restaurants are limited to takeout or delivery. Retail outlets must limit their customer capacity See Increase, Page A8
Clock begins to tick on 3-week stay in restrictive health order Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — It seems as though Solano County has been watching the clock for months about what will come next during the Covid-19 pandemic. And as the case numbers surged after Thanksgiving,
and the regional intensive care unit capacity declined, the clock was set for when Solano would be thrust into the state’s more restrictive stay-at-home order. The toll struck just before midnight Thursday, and the new watch begins for when the order might be lifted
in three weeks. But Solano County’s top public health official said he does not expect much change in how residents will respond to the new health order, which among other things prohibits private gatherings of any size heading See Order, Page A8

FDA panel gives thumbs up to Moderna vaccine Tribune Content Agency An influential government panel of scientists unanimously endorsed Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine candidate for emergency use on Thursday, paving the way for final approval from U.S. regulators as early as this week. The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, which advises the Food and Drug Administration on drug and inoculation approvals, voted 20-0 that the FDA should give
the green light for the Moderna vaccine to be administered to those 18 years and older. One member of the committee abstained from the vote. The FDA is expected to follow the committee’s advice and final approval could come as early as Friday.

Federal investigators find evidence of previously unknown hacking tactics The Washington Post WASHINGTON — Federal investigators reported Thursday on evidence of previously unknown tactics for penetrating government computer networks, a development that underscores the disastrous reach of Russia’s recent intrusions and the logistical nightmare facing federal
officials trying to purge intruders from key systems. For days, it has been clear that compromised software patches distributed by a Texas-based company, SolarWinds, were central to Russian efforts to gain access to U.S. government computer systems. But Thursday’s alert from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency at the Department of Homeland Security said evidence suggested there was other malware used to initiate what the alert described as “a grave risk to the Federal Government and state, local, tribal, and territorial governments as well as critical infrastructure entities and other private sector organizations.� While many details remained
unclear, the revelation about new modes of attack raises fresh questions about the access that Russian hackers were able to gain in government and corporate systems worldwide. “This adversary has demonstrated an ability to exploit software supply chains and shown significant knowledge of Windows networks,� the alert

Then the neighbor drove through it with his car so we ran and hid fast because he was furious! Matt Choy: I remember when the Daily Republic was delivered in the evening and we had a faded red plastic holder attached to the mail box for it. My dad would always tip our paperboy for putting it in the red box. Matthew Halseth: I had a paper route in Fairfield in 1982 when I was 11 years old by and around Mankas Park. I remember the first day they dropped that big old cube of newspapers on my driveway at like 4:30 a.m. After folding them all, I tried to put like 40 papers in the canvas bag on the handlebars of my BMX Mongoose. I could hardly pedal. Matt Nourot: I was 12 when I started and moved on when I was 16. Once, I went camping for a week and my sister delivered for me.

Keith Hayes: In the 1940s the local paper was called the Solano Republican and came out twice a week. We used to sell it on the street corners. My memory is a little fuzzy, but I seem to remember we got about 50 cents and a free movie ticket if we sold our quota. The only trouble was the older kids took the good spots such as the bank and post office and our quota was rarely reached. I quit after a few weeks. For a very short time (circa 1950) I took my brother's route delivering the Vallejo Times Herald in the morning and Vallejo Evening Chronicle in the afternoon. I
had 105 customers. Mr. Wyler would drop the newspapers off on our front porch twice a day. Each paper was folded – no rubber bands or cellophane to protect them from the rain. Every paper had to be on the porch. Collecting was a pain in the you-know-what. With some customers I had to go back three to four times to collect the money. Tony Ramos: In about 1967-68, I got really good at throwing the paper while moving on my bike. I could make papers float over railings and land on the porch. I think it helped me in Little League as a pitcher. Doug Rodgers: I believe I was 10 or 11 when a friend of mine and I shared Route 9 for the Daily Republic. I would deliver one week, he would deliver the next week, back and forth like that. It became "Route 4½." Reach Fairfield writer ony Wade at toeknee eighed@gmail.com.

San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco all made the top 10, at No. 2, No. 4 and No. 7, respectively. Sacramento came in at No. 11. In order to determine the ranking, WalletHub compared the 100 biggest U.S. cities based on safety, traditions and food, observance and generosity. They were evaluated using 15 metrics. Christmas is often considered by many to be “the most wonderful time of the year,” but in 2020 it may be one of the most stressful times of the year.

Covid-19 pandemic. Many people will also have to adjust their spending plans due to the financial impact of the pandemic, though overall spending is still expected to increase compared to last year. There are still plenty of ways to keep the Christmas spirit alive while social distancing and without breaking the bank, though, such as having video calls with loved ones, getting takeout from your favorite local restaurant and attending online church services if you’re religious. Durham, North Carolina, took the top spot. San Diego finished 15th. Some other findings: Miami has the most Christmas tree farms (per square root of the population), 0.024851, which is 23.2 times more than in Indianapolis, the city with the fewest at 0.001072. Honolulu has the fewest Covid-19 cases in the past week per capita, 1,591.53,
which is 7.1 times fewer than in Lubbock, Texas, the city with the most at 11,275.64. Orlando, Florida, has the most bakeries (per square root of population), 0.356257, which is 9.4 times more than in North Las Vegas, Nevada, the city with the fewest at 0.037850. Indianapolis has the lowest average price of wine, $3.63, which is 4.1 times lower than in Seattle, the city with the highest at $14.89. Seattle has the most food banks (per square root of population), 0.024190, which is 20.2 times more than in Boston, the city with the fewest at 0.001200.

For those looking to ring in 2021, a recent WalletHub report showed Fremont at No. 4, San Jose at No. 13 and San Francisco in the 20th spot.
FAIRFIELD — Solano County sheriff’s deputies, working with one federal and two state agencies, raided a former hemp farming site and found more than 60,000 marijuana plants. The estimated street value of the marijuana was more than $90 million, Deputy Le’Ron Cummings, the Sheriff’s Office public information officer, wrote in an email response to a Daily Republic inquiry. “The Solano County Sheriff’s Office Resident Deputy Team recently discovered a large illegal marijuana grow near Sikes (Road), in the unincorporated area of Dixon. That same site was a legal (hemp) grow in 2019, but not a current approved grow by the county,” Cummings stated. No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing, Cummings wrote.
Supes finish 2020 with zoning matters FAIRFIELD — It will no longer require an administrative permit to build an accessory dwelling unit in the unincorporated area of Solano County. The Board of Supervisors this week approved a text amendment to the county zoning code that allows accessory dwelling units and junior accessory units by right. The county expects to lose about $27,301 in permit revenues. The standard for units in agriculture zones is for up to 2,000 square feet. Other key changes, the county reported, include adding the definition of each dwelling in the residential zones, and allowing the units to be built on the same parcel as the primary dwelling. The supervisors also conducted a public hearing and voted to allow Thomas and Shelly Pecotte to withdraw their rezoning petition for a 5-acre portion of a 30-acre parcel.

Solano officials announce Covid-19 vaccine rollout Amy Maginnis-Honey
amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — Solano County officials are hoping for “a shot in the arm� as nearly 8,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccinations are heading to the county. A virtual press conference Wednesday featured medical professionals, including the first one who is slated to take the vaccine. Bradley Boyd, a respiratory care practitioner with NorthBay Healthcare, will be the first frontline health care worker to receive the vaccine. Family members and friends have asked him if he was going to get the vaccine. His response was “not only am I going to get the vaccine, I will get it first.� He said he hopes by stepping up, it will encourage others to “step forward
and get the vaccine.� The initial doses should arrive soon and will be put to use right away with health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities at the top of the distribution list. Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, noted the Covid-19 crisis has been going on for nearly a year with Solano County hospitals providing care to the first people to get a positive test result and also the home to the first community transmission. Almost 4,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will arrive first. Another 4,000 from Moderna should arrive locally next week, Matyas said. Both require two doses, administered about three weeks apart. “I’m very confident
these vaccines are safe,� Matyas said, citing thorough testing and efficacy ratings of better than 90%. The FDA usually wants an efficacy rate of 70%, he said. Matyas also emphasized that wearing masks and social distancing are still critical, even with the vaccine on its way to the area. There’s been a significant surge in cases, which makes it even more important to “do the right thing,� he said. “What a long road it has been,� said Dr. Seth Kaufman, chief medical officer and Emergency Room physician at NorthBay Healthcare. “Now we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.� Ted Selby, Health Services administrator, Solano County Health and Social
Services, Public Health Division, said the county has invested in ultra-cold deep freezers to store the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at minus 70 degrees Celsius. It only has a shelf life of 120 hours once removed from the box. It will most likely be given onsite at the destination. The Moderna vaccine must be frozen, too, but only at minus 20 degrees Celsius, more like a regular freezer. It has a shelf life of six months. One participant wanted to know if employers could require employees to get the vaccine. “They are within the legal authority to make it mandatory,� Selby said. Kaufman said it would be voluntary at NorthBay. The same for Solano County, Matyas said.

Report: Covid-19 could slow climate-investment progress Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — More than 10,000 affordable housing units have been funded and 100,000 acres of agricultural land have been protected through two programs identified in a new report issued by the California Climate and Agriculture Network. The report also states that the Covid-19 pandemic “threatens to undermine the state’s smart growth efforts, and more is needed to bring a regional approach to these investments that provide the housing, public transit, jobs and food security Californians need,� Jeanne Merrill, policy director with CalCAN and one of the report’s authors, said in the statement released along with CalCAN’s report. “Since 2014, the state of California has invested approximately $1.8 billion in two smart growth/ climate investment programs: the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program and the Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Program,� the statement said. The report is titled, “Resilient California: Economic Recovery and Climate Resilience Through Smart Growth Strategies, a Review of State Programs.� The report makes six recommendations, one of which highlights the Middle Green Valley Specific Plan as an example of how housing projects can integrate agriculture. There has been $1.65 billion awarded to 127 projects, resulting in 10,541 affordable units being funded through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, the report states. Another $153.6 million has been awarded as part of the Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Program, protecting 101,440 agricultural acres, the report states. The two programs have reduced 17 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, CalCAN reported. “We found that the state’s investments in two important smart growth programs have brought tan-
gible benefits to communities in 47 of the state’s counties,� Merrill said in the statement. Solano County, during the sixyear period under review, has had four Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Program projects. There are no Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program projects in the county. Merrill said in a phone interview Wednesday that there are Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program opportunities in Solano County. In fact, the focus of the program fits closely with efforts by the Solano County Transportation Authority, as well as the city projects. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is also pushing for housing-transit connections in its broad plans for the Bay Area’s future. However, the report also states that “the state has not yet realized the original vision of the two programs working in concert to shift away from California’s sprawl development patterns.� Only 32% of the funded counties have both programs. “It is critical that our climate resilience and economic recovery efforts in California work together to restore the health and wellbeing of all communities, especially low-income and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) communities, so California can deliver on the promises of equitable and sustainable communities for everyone,� Chanell Fletcher, executive director of ClimatePlan, said in the CalCAN statement. The report issued six recommendations: n Develop regional pilot effort under Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities and Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation programs. Connect the programs with a consulting group that specializes in implementing climate programs. n Expand planning grants to provide necessary resources for integrated planning and development. We recommend that both the Affordable Housing and Sustain-
able Communities and Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation programs provide funding for multiple-year, local government planning grants of $500,000 to allow for necessary community outreach and related efforts. n Refine program design to support urban-edge farmland conservation . . . to refine the selection criteria for both the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities and Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation programs with the aims of supporting urban-edge agriculture. For example, additional points should be allocated in both programs for jurisdictions that have enacted both pro-affordable housing and agricultural lands conservation policies. n Go beyond the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities and Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation programs to support integrated land use planning grants and more. As noted above, California’s new commitment to build affordable housing provides a moment of opportunity, and we recommend leveraging new efforts to incentivize strategic growth. Support improved integration across new planning grant funding. n Develop agricultural land mitigation programs. We recommend that the state establish an agricultural mitigation requirement on all state transportation projects that take agricultural land out of production. As an example of this, the report specifically notes the Solano County Green Valley Specific Plan, which will create a new agricultural preserve in addition to the housing project. n Support work-at-home policies. We recommend that the state explore avenues for incentivizing employers to maintain work-from-home policies once the pandemic is over and normal business returns, and that the state consider combining such incentives with other energy-saving measures for workers’ homes. One place to start can be with the state’s own agencies supporting workfrom-home and related policies for state workers.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, December 18, 2020 A5
Biden said to tap Haaland for Interior, NC environment chief Regan for EPA Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden will nominate Michael Regan, the top environmental regulator in North Carolina, to lead the EPA during his administration, and Rep. Deb Haaland, D-N.M., as the first Native American to head the Interior Department. Regan’s nomination would elevate a state official who has prioritized climate change, coal-ash cleanup and environmental justice during his stint in the post. And while it while it would further narrow the Democratic majority in the House for several months, Haaland’s selection was endorsed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. New Mexico’s 1st District is considered safely Democratic, with Haaland winning reelection last month by 17 percentage points. Under state law, the Secretary of State – who might be running for the seat – must schedule a special election within 10 days of the vacancy. The election would have to be held within three months. Two sources close to the Biden transition team confirmed the Haaland pick to CQ Roll Call. Multiple news organizations reported the Regan choice Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter, and a person close to the Biden camp circulated a biography of Regan to CQ Roll Call but said they were not authorized to confirm the nomination. Word of the selections followed a series of announced and reported Biden picks for top energy and climate positions.
Michael Brochstein/Sipa USA/TNS file (2019)
U.S. Rep. Deb Haaland, D-N.M., speaks at a press conference for the introduction of the Zero Waste Act in Congress, July 25, 2019, at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Regan edged out Mary Nichols, the head of the California Air Resources Board – the state’s top environmental agency – who has been a major player in domestic environmental regulations for decades. If confirmed, Regan, 44, will take over an agency that has been a linchpin in the Trump administration’s broad push to water down or roll back entirely environmental and energy rules and standards. So far this week, Biden announced he will nominate former Michigan governor and attorney general Jennifer Granholm to lead the Energy Department, a person close to the transition team confirmed to CQ Roll Call earlier this week. And Gina McCarthy, who was EPA administrator during the second half of the Obama administration, is widely reported to have been tapped for a new role as a domestic climate policy czar. Pete Buttigieg, who sought the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination before endorsing Biden, has been announced as the president-elect’s choice for Transportation secretary.
Biden is expected to nominate Brenda Mallory, an environmental lawyer with the Southern Environmental Law Center, to lead the Council on Environmental Quality, a division of the White House, according to published reports. CEQ is a clearinghouse for environmental law matters and oversees major public works projects like highways, bridges and pipelines through a review process. All have spoken vigorously about the existential threats of climate change and the need to aggressively mitigate against and combat it. A member of Pueblo of Laguna, Haaland’s role as Interior secretary could mark a turning point for an agency that has often had a fraught and at times bitter relationship with federally-recognized tribes. Coming from a major oiland-gas producing state, Haaland would assume the helm of a massive bureaucracy that manages federal land, offshore drilling and leasing, endangered species, mining cleanup, scientific research, geological studies, national
parks and grazing. Halaand’s selection opens what promises to be a crowded contest for the Democratic nomination in the solidly blue 1st District. W hen vaca ncies occurred in the past, each of the state’s three major parties selected nominees to run in such special elections. For the Democrats, the nominee would be chosen by state central committee members who live in the district, currently a group of 168 people. Local political observers said they did not expect candidates to declare their intent to run until an election date is set. Potential contenders include Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, who lost the Democratic Senate primary to 3rd District Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, who will be sworn in as a senator in January. Other potential contenders include state Sen. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez and former U.S. Attorney Damon Martinez, both of whom ran against Halaand in the 2018 primary. Regan’s agency, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, secured an agreement in January with the utility Duke Energy to clean up 80 million tons of coal ash — a grayish toxic slurry often stored in thinly-lined pits or ponds. The agency called it the largest coal ash cleanup effort in state history Regan was also involved in crafting a state-level executive order, issued in October 2018 by Gov. Roy Cooper, D-N.C., that set goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2025 from 2005 levels.
Suspect in high-speed chase faces long list of allegations Todd R. Hansen
thansen@dailyrepublic.net
VALLEJO — The man who led law enforcement agencies on a high-speed chase Wednesday down westbound Interstate 80 has been identified as an Oakland resident who was at “the center of several investigations that spanned three counties.” Webster Johnson, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office reported Thursday, is suspected in crimes that occurred in Solano, Contra Costa and Alameda counties. Johnson, 30, was booked into Solano County jail on suspicion of attempted murder, being an accessory to a crime, first-degree robbery, evading police with disregard for public safety, two counts of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and six counts of assault with a deadly weapon on a first responder, all felonies, along with suspected
felony and misdemeanor probation violations. He also was wanted on a no-bail arrest warrant issued by Alameda County for suspicion of domestic violence. Johnson remained in jail Thursday without bail. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday. His arrest is the culmination of a series of criminal investigations in the Bay Area and into the Central Valley, starting Dec. 9. That is when Solano County deputies responded to Carlson Street in rural Solano County for a report of a shooting that injured one person. Investigators learned that the shooting was the result of an attempted robbery involving two suspects, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Modesto police officers engaged in an officerinvolved shooting Tuesday afternoon with a man identified as Alonzo Warren of Modesto. Solano detectives determined that Warren
is also a suspect from the Carlson Street shooting and began working with Modesto police, the Sheriff’s Office reported. Solano County deputies responded later that night to a robbery report at BevBox on Benicia Road in Vallejo, and Pinole police officers responded to a robbery in that community. The Solano County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday was able to determine the vehicle used in the Carlson Street shooting was the same one used in the Vallejo robbery. “After issuing an alert to Bay Area law enforcement agencies, our detectives received a bulletin from the Pinole Police Department regarding a robbery suspect which matched the suspect related to the BevBox robbery,” the Sheriff’s Office reported. “Detectives also learned the Oakland Police Department was investigating the same man for robberies in their city.” The Solano County
Sheriff’s Investigations Bureau and Sheriff’s Enforcement Team found the vehicle and made an attempt to arrest Johnson. Instead, the Sheriff’s Office reported, Johnson used his vehicle to ram a marked sheriff’s car before leading deputies and other law enforcement agencies on a high-speed chase through Solano, Contra Costa and Alameda counties. The car the Sheriff’s Office reported as being driven by Johnson was picked up by a California Highway Patrol helicopter and followed to Ashby Avenue in Berkeley. “There Johnson jumped into San Francisco Bay before surrendering to CHP officers. Our deputies took Johnson into custody,” the Sheriff’s Office reported. The Sheriff’s Office reports two loaded guns were found in the water near where Johnson had entered.

Police arrest 3 in connection with deadly shooting Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net
VALLEJO — Police on Thursday announced the arrests of three people in connection with a deadly shooting early this fall. Officers responded at approximately 12:10 a.m. Sept. 3 to multiple reports of gunfire in the area of Adele Drive and Vanessa Street. Police found multiple shell casings on the 100 block of Adele Drive, but no shooting victim. Police were soon called to Sutter Solano Medical Center, which reported a man had arrived there with at least one gunshot wound. Damon Darell Ferguson, 23, of Vallejo, died as a result of his injuries. The investigation, led by the Vallejo department’s Detective Division and Crime Reduction Team, culminated recently in the arrest of three suspects: Jadontae Braelyn Elrich Foster, 23, of Vallejo; Dashanna A. Cordoba, 23, of Vallejo; and Destinee McFarland,
23, of Vallejo. Foster and Cordoba were found and arrested in El Paso, Texas. McFarland was found and arrested in Fairfield. McFarland was arrested at approximately 11:30 p.m. Dec. 9 at an apartment on the 3700 block of Lyon Road. She remained in jail Thursday on suspicion of one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder with bail set at $1.5 million. She was also held on three misdemeanor warrants. McFarland is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 7. Specific information about when Foster and Cordoba were arrested was not released Thursday. They were not yet shown as being in custody in the Solano County jail. No court dates were listed for them in connection with the case. Anyone with information in this ongoing investigation is asked to call Detective Terry F. Schillinger at 648-4278.
SF issues travel order requiring Bay Area visitors to quarantine Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco issued a travel order effective Friday requiring anyone visiting the city from outside the Bay Area to quarantine for 10 days. The order, announced during a virtual news conference by Dr. Grant Colfax, the city’s public health director, takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday. Violating the order is a misdemeanor. Medical workers, first responders and essential workers are exempt. Colfax described the rise in coronavirus cases in the San Francisco Bay Area as “staggering,” but added that catastrophe could still be avoided if residents remain with their households during the holidays and refrain from traveling. “While cases remain far too high, the rate of increase of this virus has slowed just a bit, and this indicates we still have time to turn this dire situation around, and as a result, save hundreds of lives,” Colfax said. Hoping to preserve hospital bed availability, San Francisco and four other Bay Area counties on Dec. 4 adopted an
early stay-at-home order. Despite that effort, intensive care availability at Bay Area hospitals has now fallen below 13%. San Mateo and Santa Clara counties have run out of intensive care beds, Colfax said. If gatherings at Christmas and New Year’s bring more cases, the region will be in “a truly catastrophic situation,” he said. Coronavirus cases have risen by 50% in San Francisco since Thanksgiving. “Imagine not having a hospital bed for your mom or dad, your grandmother or even your child . . . and imagine them getting suboptimal care,” Colfax said. “Would you want that?” San Francisco has a total of 286 intensive care beds, and 207 were filled on Thursday, he said. As the city scrambles to stem infections, health care workers are beginning to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Colfax said 95 medical workers were vaccinated against the virus on Wednesday, and another 180 were expected to receive the injections on Thursday. A second dose will be required weeks later.
Cannabis chat at Suisun council session deals with security, advertising, landscaping Amy Maginnis-Honey
amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net
SUISUN CITY — Landscaping, security and advertising were the issues addressed at Tuesday at the City Council meeting during a public hearing and discussion about three resolutions up for council approval concerning cannabis. Shryne Group Inc. is under consideration to open a dispensary and distribution center on Railroad Avenue. The proposals dealt
with the business permit and site plans, amending the city zoning map to add a cannabis zone, and approving a development agreement. They passed unanimously and will come back before the council again in the new year. The Shryne Group already operates within California. The company wants to use the buildings at 521 Railroad Ave. to operate under the moniker Authentic 707. “It’s the first cannabis
application processed,” said John Kearns, senior planner for Suisun City. The City Council has voted to allow three cannabis businesses in the city. Returning City Councilman Mike Hudson wanted to know if there was an increase in traffic by the business, did the council have the ability to pull its permit. Shryne Group will have to renew its permit annually, Kearns said. Hudson was also concerned with Grange
Middle School students having access to Authentic 707 when walking to and from campus. Brian Mitchell of the Shryne Group and Vice Mayor Wanda Williams assured Hudson the security is tight and the students would not have access. Resident Steve Olry wanted to know what impact the business could have on what he described as an “already skeletal police force.” Police Chief Aaron Roth has reviewed the security
plan and said the site would have 24-hour security. He said he didn’t think the business would affect the Police Department from a security standpoint. There were also questions about how tall the trees will be that surround the facility. The city can dictate those terms as things move on. Mitchell said the company’s biggest advertisement is word of mouth. Once the business opens, “word will travel fast,” he said. He said the state has
put the kibosh on cannabis billboards. The one at Highway 12 and Marina Boulevard, for a Rio Vista dispensary, will have to come down. Williams, who has visited the Dixon dispensary operated by the Shryne Group, said her experience was similar to that of visiting an Apple store. The cannabis is really no different than other businesses that operate in Suisun City, Mayor Lori Wilson said.

In today’s deal, how should South play in five diamonds after the defenders take two spade tricks, then cast adrift with a heart to declarer’s bare ace? South’s sequence, one club followed by three diamonds, showed a very strong hand with fewer diamonds than clubs. When West competed to three spades, North, who had limited his hand with his initial pass, was happy to bid four diamonds. He knew that a 4-4 fit usually plays better than a 5-3 or 6-3. South moved confidently into five diamonds. The kibitzers thought that declarer had no chance, because the clubs were not splitting 2-2. However, South spotted a chance even when clubs were 1=3.

New Marvel comic reveals ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’s character is bisexual Tribune Content Agency Bisexuality is back to the future. Guardians of the Galaxy’s Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, has been revealed to swing both ways. The beloved character – portrayed by Chris Pratt in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – was depicted to be in a polyamorous relationship with both a male and female character in the most recent “Guardians of the Galaxy #9� comic book. According to Entertainment Weekly, the new installment, titled “I Shall Make You a StarLord,� takes place on the fictional land of Morinus, where Star-Lord falls

The outlet included a page from the new comic where Star-Lord calls Morinus his new home and bathes with both characters, saying to them, “Thanks for accepting me, guys.� The comic was written by Al Ewing and illustrated by Juann Cabal. While Star-Lord is confirmed to be canonically bisexual in the comics, it is unknown if the billion-dollar film franchise will address the character’s sexuality in future Guardians movies. Director James Gunn, Pratt or Marvel Studios had not yet publicly commented on the matter.

Moderna: Vaccine From Page One week – proved to be 94% effective in clinical trials of 30,000 people. Unlike the Pfizer vaccine, Moderna developed its shot with help and funding from the Trump administration’s signature “Operation Warp Speed” program. The U.S. National Institutes of Health co-developed the vaccine with Moderna. The likely imminent approval of the Moderna shot comes as the pandemic is taking a drastic turn for the worse, with the U.S. death toll topping 309,000 while the country keeps breaking daily records for number of deaths, with nearly 3,700 Americans killed on Wednesday alone. Tens of thousands of Pfizer vaccinations have already been administered across the country. Roughly 170,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine were shipped to New York shortly after the candidate received final FDA
Unlike the Pfizer vaccine, Moderna developed its shot with help and funding from the Trump administration’s signature “Operation Warp Speed” program. approval last Friday. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said last week that New York is expected to get about 346,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine by Dec. 21, with additional shipments expected the coming over weeks and months. First in line for shots are high-risk health care workers, nursing home residents and staff. After that, front-line workers like cops, firefighters, teachers and those with preexisting conditions will be up for inoculations. The general public isn’t expected to get access until this spring.

to 20%. Many other businesses, including personal service establishments and bars, must shutter. The new health order was triggered when the intensive care unit capacity in the 11-county Bay Area region, in which Solano is a part, fell below 15%. Solano Count y’s capacity was at 13% Thursday. Hospitalizations held steady at 107. The number of deaths related at least in part of Covid-19 stood at 93. The total number of
Order From Page One into Christmas and other winter holidays. “I imagine many people follow the (mandates), but many do not,” Dr. Bela Matyas said in a phone interview Wednesday, about an hour after the order was announced. He said this latest surge coming out of Thanksgiving, with thousands of new cases and hundreds of hospitalizations, is evidence that many residents are not complying with the health orders, or even following precautions such as wearing face coverings and adhering to social distancing. “We have reported 14 deaths in the last two weeks,” Matyas said. “Nearly a dozen of them were in the community and acquired their illness from family and friends.” Two of those community deaths were reported Wednesday. They bring the total number of deaths related at least in part to Covid-19 to 93. “The (novel) coronavirus is spreading too fast in our county, state and country,” Supervisor Monica Brown said in her latest Covid-19 update. “I know how hard this is for all of us. It breaks my heart to see our community facing these daunting challenges. Our people are hurting, our small businesses are struggling, and the virus is infecting too many of our residents. Now is the time for all of us to work together to stop the spread of the virus and support our community,” she said. Terry Schmidtbauer, interim director of the
cases in the county is at 14,713, with 159 cases reported in Vallejo, which sent its total to 4,583. There were 99 new cases reported in Fairfield, now at 4,279, and 99 in Vacaville, which has 3,207 cases. Suisun City surpassed Dixon with the fourth most cases, and surpassed the 1,000 mark with 44 additional cases to take its count to 1,038. Dixon had 24 new cases to reach 1,024 while Benicia climbed past the 400-case threshold with 15 new cases to reach 408. Rio Vista (122) added three cases and one new case in the unincorpo-
rated area of the county took the total there to 53. The number of active cases was reported at 2,223, 199 more than Wednesday, and the number of completed tests jumped by 820 to 151,566. Matyas said the novel coronavirus pandemic has had a strain on his staff. “Most people are not happy about the implications this has for our community” said Matyas, who added their lives also are affected and that, too, adds to the strain and frustration levels. “But the community is responsible for these numbers,” he said.
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.

Department of Resource Management, said the county has no plans to change its protocols on how it deals with businesses that do not follow the provisions of the new order. “We haven’t heard anything from businesses; we hope the businesses will follow the stay-at-home order from the state,” Schmidtbauer said. “As for our response, we will
continue the protocols we have in place and respond to complaints.” He said the county will contact the businesses, educate them on the new order and “give them a couple of chances to comply.” After that, the businesses will be referred to the local law enforcement agencies, and where applicable, to the state. The state’s regional
stay-at-home order was issued Dec. 3, identifying five regions statewide – two of which were placed under those provisions almost immediately. The trigger is when a region’s intensive care unit capacity falls below 15%. The order basically directs residents to stay home unless conducting essential activities, is expected to stay in effect for three weeks.
Hacking: Microsoft investigates breach From Page One that Russian government hackers were behind the operation. Moscow has denied involvement. The alert cited a blog post this week from Volexity, a Reston, Va.-based cybersecurity company, about repeated intrusions into an unnamed think tank that, according to the company, took place over several years without being detected. The attackers, who are described using a pseudonym in the Volexity post, gained access to the think tank’s networks using “multiple tools, backdoors, and malware implants” and exploited a vulnerability in Microsoft’s Exchange Control Panel software, which is
central to the company’s email services. In a statement, Microsoft said, “This is an ongoing investigation into an advanced and sophisticated threat actor that has several techniques in their toolkit. We have not identified any Microsoft product or cloud service vulnerabilities in the recent attacks.” Only the last of three intrusions against the think tank, in June and July, involved a corrupted patch from SolarWinds, suggesting an aggressive, persistent hacking team with numerous sophisticated tactics at its disposal. The Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration, which manages
the country’s nuclear weapons stockpile, were also breached, officials said Thursday, joining a growing list of agencies reported in recent days to have been hacked by the Russians and that are central to U.S. national security and other core government functions. They include the Departments of State, Treasury, Commerce and Homeland Security, as well as the National Institutes of Health. Purging the intruders and restoring security to affected networks could take months, some experts say, because the hackers moved rapidly from the initial intrusions through the corrupted software patches to collect and deploy authentic system
credentials, making discovery and remediation far more difficult. Closing the digital back doors initially created by the Russians will not suffice because they appear to have stolen keys to an unknown number of official doorways into federal and private corporate systems, according to investigators at FireEye, a cybersecurity firm that also was hacked. On Monday, Microsoft and FireEye diverted the channel the Russians used to send commands to systems that download the corrupted patch, causing the malware to shut down. But that does not help those organizations whose networks the Russians have deeply penetrated.

From Page One New York that are facing massive pandemic bills that could lead to punishing layoffs and budget cuts. Democrats are seeking to sneak some aid to local governments through budget side doors of boosts to federal agencies.
Since the initial $1.8 trillion CARES Act passed in March, Republicans have resisted a costly new package. By the time President Trump and the GOP were ready to make a deal, Democrats wouldn’t take yes for an answer. They instead rolled the dice on a sweeping elec-
tion victory that would open the door to an even bigger package. With America groaning for help, Democrats scaled back their expectations dramatically to get some help out the door before the end of the year and before Trump leaves office. They hope to enact a
sprawling new plan as soon as President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January, and the incoming leader called the emerging version “an important down payment.” Needless to say, the GOP may be less likely to lend a hand when Joe Biden’s the man in the White House.

Trump’s veto threat on defense bill tests GOP loyalty Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — A Senate vote on overriding President Donald Trump’s expected veto of a massive defense bill may prove to be a final test of the Republican party’s loyalty to the commander-in-chief. Sen. Jim Inhofe, the Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Thursday he expects his chamber would return to hold a vote if the House of Representatives overrides the president on the annual defense authorization bill. Both the House and Senate passed it by vetoproof majorities, though at least some GOP members plan to change their vote if it comes to what would be the first override of
Trump Trump’s waning term. Trump has repeatedly said he’d veto the $740.5 billion bill, raising complaints including a demand to include an unrelated provision stripping legal protections from social media companies over most of their user-generated content. He also made an unspecified allegation that China would “love� the bill. He tweeted his latest threat
Thursday morning. “I was sorry to see that he tweeted that,� said Inhofe. He also said that until Thursday he had thought there was a chance Republicans could persuade Trump not to veto the bill. The president has until Wednesday, when the legislation would otherwise become law, to follow through on his threat. Congress would then need to act before the end of its current term, which runs out Jan. 3. The House voted for the bill 335-78 and the Senate 84-13 earlier this month. Inhofe told reporters he suspects Trump is waiting for the final day until he vetoes. He expected the Senate would return from its year-end break and
gather on Jan. 3 in time to vote on the override. John Thune, the No. 2 GOP senator, has also said the chamber would schedule such a vote if the House – which goes first – defeats the president’s veto. Some of the president’s most loyal allies, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, say they support Trump on using the NDAA, as it’s known, as leverage to get something done on Section 230. That’s the federal statute that shields internet and social media companies from liability connected with user-posted content on their platforms, which Trump wants repealed. Trump has repeatedly attacked social media companies, including
Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc., for removing his posts that made false or misleading claims. “I’m going to stick with the president and his effort to get something done on 230,� said Graham, who didn’t vote on the bill earlier this month. “If it takes using the NDAA as leverage, so be it.� Other Republicans, including Inhofe, contend that the defense bill wasn’t the proper vehicle to address the issue. The NDAA typically passes every year with significant bipartisan support. In addition to pay raises for troops, the defense bill includes a variety of defense-related measures, including sanctions on a natural gas pipeline between
Russia and Germany. “There’s nothing we can do on 230,� Inhofe said. He also said that if Graham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, wants to address that statute, then he “ought to be doing it himself� through his panel. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said earlier this month that the House would definitely schedule an override vote. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is among those who have said he wouldn’t override the president after having backed the bill previously. While Trump hasn’t specified the China connection to his veto threat, one Chinese company has made favorable comments on the bill.

Jobless claims jump to highest in three months Tribune Content Agency Applications for U.S. unemployment benefits unexpectedly jumped to the highest level in three months, suggesting the labor market’s recovery is faltering amid the surge in Covid-19 cases and widening business restrictions. Initial jobless claims in regular state programs rose by 23,000 to 885,000 in the week ended Dec. 12, Labor Department data showed Thursday. On an unadjusted basis, the figure fell by about 21,000. Continuing claims for state programs declined by 273,000 to 5.51 million in the week ended Dec. 5. That figure roughly approximates the number
Google illegal deal with Facebook alleged in monopoly suit Tribune Content Agency It reads like a grand conspiracy of the nerds. On Wednesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed an antitrust lawsuit against Alphabet Inc.’s Google. At its center is a bold claim: Google colluded with archrival Facebook Inc. in an illegal deal to manipulate auctions for online advertising, an industry the two companies dominate. “Any collaboration between two competitors of such magnitude should have set off the loudest alarm bells in terms of antitrust compliance,� the Texas lawsuit read. “Apparently, it did not.� Google disputed the allegation it had done anything improper, while Facebook declined to comment. “This allegation is inaccurate,� Google said in an emailed statement. “Facebook Audience Network (FAN) is one of over 25 companies participating in our Open Bidding program. There’s nothing exclusive about their involvement and they don’t receive special data.� The complaint centers on automated ad technology called header bidding that routes digital ads into a live auction. It’s designed to increase the money web publishers, such as news outlets, can get for their ad real estate. With more bids from the widest array of sources, rates go up. By 2016, 70% of major publishers used header bidding from a variety of smaller advertising technology companies. That posed a threat to Google’s ad exchange system because the approach opened up the bidding process to other exchanges. So Google created a program to “secretly let its own exchange win,� according to the Texas suit. Enter Facebook. The social network introduced header bidding for its own ad-selling tools in 2017. A year later, it brought it to mobile apps. This tool allowed Facebook to take small cuts of ads sold across the web and on mobile phones. It also directly competed with Google. But Facebook soon pulled back from the practice. It did so, the Texas suit said, because Google cut a deal, signed at the “highest-level,� that let Facebook sell ads on mobile apps more quickly and gave it other advantages in ad auctions.
of people receiving state unemployment benefits, but doesn’t include the millions of people who have already exhausted those benefits or are receiving assistance through federal pandemic jobless aid programs. A Bloomberg survey of economists had called for 818,000 initial state claims and 5.7 million continuing claims on an adjusted basis. The increase in initial claims reflects rising filings in California and Illinois, two states where governments have imposed particularly restrictive lockdowns in the wake of the latest Covid-19 surge. That, paired with cooler weather, has led to addi-
tional job losses and growing risks for the economy in the months before widespread vaccine distribution. With the outlook shaky, U.S. lawmakers are working out final details of a new relief package, while the Federal Reserve on Wednesday pledged to maintain its massive bond purchases until employment and inflation make “substantial further progress.� U.S. stock futures pared gains following the report, while 10-year Treasury yields were little changed. The latest initial claims data also coincide with the reference period for the December jobs report.

Shanahan sticks with Mullens at quarterback for Cowboys game B2 Friday, December 18, 2020 SECTION B Paul Farmer . Sports Editor . 427.6926
CDPH guidelines bring hope, concerns for start of play Paul Farmer PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET
The California Department of Public Health released the long-awaited update of its Guidance for Youth and Recreational Adult Sports, Monday, and the news was both good and bad for area high school officials, coaches and athletes. The guidelines allow for “outdoor physical conditioning, practice, skill-building and training that can be done main-
taining 6 feet of physical distance,” even in counties such as Solano that are under the regional stay-athome order. Competition will happen later. “CDPH’s guidance is aimed at giving communities guidelines on how to safely remain physically active while reducing transmission in their communities, especially at a time when cases are at an all-time high and ICU capacity is stretched near capacity,” CDPH said in its release. “These guide-
lines were developed in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, including the California Interscholastic Federation and the California Association of Recreation and Park Districts.” While those involved in athletics can now see a light at the end of the tunnel, that end is still way off in the distance. “Competition will not be allowed in California until Jan. 25, 2021, at the earliest,” the CDPH said in its release. “Competitions
are not permitted as they increase the probability of transmission due to mixing of households, traveling, and unavoidable physical contact. Competitions between different teams have been associated with multiple outbreaks in California and across the country. This date will be reassessed by Jan. 4, 2021, based on California disease transmission trends and is subject to change at any time given the level of Covid-19 and ICU capacity in California.”
ALUMNI UPDATE
While there’s a delay in the start of competition – the Sac-Joaquin Section, in conjunction with the CIF, was set to start cross country Dec. 21, water polo and badminton Dec. 28, girls volleyball Dec. 29 and football Jan. 8 – there’s a bit of relief that there’s a tentative start date in place. “Finally, some forward movement in a positive way,” said Matthew Bidou, Vanden athletic director. “I think the guidelines make sense – for the most part – and I appreciate
having something to work with,” said Eddie Wilson, Fairfield athletic director and boys basketball coach. “There’s still lots of uncertainty and lots of work to be done with regards to scheduling, but it’s nice to see something that resembles a plan. Now, we just have to figure out some logistics and hope that things improve for us.” When a sport can be played will determined by the level of contact of See Guidelines, Page B10

Will C. Wood High graduate Carson Strong throws a pass for the University of Nevada in the Wolf Pack’s 3734 overtime victory over Wyoming, Oct. 24. Strong was
named the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year earlier this week. Teammate and Vacaville grad Brandon Talton was named to the All-MWC first team.

The regular season didn’t have the finish the University of Nevada football team was looking for, but that didn’t keep quarterback Carson Strong and kicker Brandon Talton from bringing home some impressive postseason honors. Strong, a Will C. Wood High graduate, was named Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year, the first sophomore to receive the honor. He completed 227-of-327 yards for 2,587 yards with 22 touchdowns and just four interceptions, leading the MWC in completions, completion percentage (69.4), passing yards, TD passes, and points responsible for (132), finishing second in passing yards per game (323.4), passing efficiency (155.6) and total offense (310.9). Talton, a Vacaville High grad, was named to the All-MWC first team after connecting on
15-of-17fieldgoalsand26-of-27 extra points. The Wolf Pack (6-2, 6-2 MWC) fell 30-20 to San Jose State after leading 20-7 at halftime, in a game to decide a berth in the conference championship game. Strong completed 33-of-48 passes STRONG for 260 yards and one touchdown, while Talton made 42- and 43-yard field goals before missing wide left on a 25-yard try as time expired before the half. He also kicked two extra points. Nevada’s season isn’t over as it will take on Tulane TALTON in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise on Tuesday. With Jake Levengood (Vacaville) starting at left guard, Oregon State (2-4, 2-4 Pac-12) lost 27-24 to Stanford despite rushing for 242 yards and throwing for 221. It was the
third loss by six points or less for the Beavers, whose two wins were by a combined seven points. Arizona (0-5, 0-5 Pac-12) was destroyed 70-7 by rival Arizona State in its season finale with Tayvian Cunningham (Wood) catching one pass for 10 yards and returning three kickoffs for a combined 50 yards. For the season, Cunningham played in four games, catching nine passes for 139 yards with his 75-yard TD reception the longest play of the year for the Wildcats. He also averaged 19.3 yards on 11 kickoff returns with a long of 28. After the loss to ASU, Arizona head coach Kevin Sumlin was fired with defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads taking over on an interim basis. See Alumni, Page B2

Shanahan sticks with Mullens at quarterback for Cowboys game Tribune Content Agency 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan has made the decision as to who will start at quarterback for the 49ers against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday after saying earlier this week he would deliberate with his coaching staff. Shanahan on Wednesday announced he would stick with Nick Mullens and not switch to C.J. Beathard, despite Mullens turning the ball over twice Sunday against Washington. The turnovers led to a pair of defensive touchdowns in the eight-point loss. “I plan on Nick starting,” Shanahan said over Zoom from Arizona. “We’ll always see what goes on in practice, but Nick’s the guy we’ll start out with and we’ll see how it goes.” The thinking is there will be a short leash for Mullens, meaning more turnovers or missing open receivers – a common occurrence in recent
weeks – will lead Beathard getting rare game action. The 49ers have turned the ball over 18 times in their last seven games and have a 2-5 record over that span. Even in wins against the Patriots and Rams, San Francisco gave the ball away five times. The team’s 25 turnovers are the second most in the NFL. Mullens has 10 interceptions and three lost fumbles. He’s also been sacked 17 times in nine games and has a 2-5 record as the starter in place of Jimmy Garoppolo, who has not returned to practice but could after Sunday’s game, if the doctors feel comfortable with the progress made on his right high ankle sprain. Shanahan’s message to Mullens is simple, though he reiterated Mullens also needs more help from his supporting cast. “If he wants to stay out there, he’s got to stop turning the ball over,” Shanahan said. “But I
think when you look back to Sunday night, I think the other thing that sticks out the most is he missed a number of open throws, just throwing over guys’ heads, I guess, about four of them right now. I think that really sticks out to people and sticks out to fans and stuff, and it does to me, also. Nick needs to make those throws and he’s capable of making those throws, but I also know it doesn’t help when you have nine drops on top of that.” Mullens said he was “a little antsy” during Sunday’s game and many of his bad throws stemmed from not being fundamentally sound with his footwork. “If I stay calm in the pocket and go with my reads and then everything else takes care of itself,” Mullens said. “And so that’s one thing that I’m going to focus on this week.” n n n Mullens since entering
the league as an undrafted rookie in 2017 has endeared himself to Shanahan and the coaching staff for his work behind the scenes. By all accounts, Mullens excels in classroom preparation and his knowledge of the offense. That shows in the fact he can move the ball effectively and put up numbers that not many other backups could. Mullens in 18 career games has thrown for 4,495 yards with an 88.2 passer rating, hampered by his 10 touchdown to 10 interceptions. Mullens’ 4,186 yards is third among all quarterbacks through their first 15 starts in the Super Bowl era. The biggest mistake Mullens made Sunday was his late third quarter pick-six to defensive back Kamren Curl that was returned for a 76-yard touchdown. Mullens was trying to find fullback Kyle Juszczyk in the right flat, See Mullens, Page B10
Alumni: Stafford solid sub for Skyhawks From Page B1
NFL Jason Verrett (Rodriguez) made a sensational defensive play with a leaping interception late in the first half for the San Francisco 49ers. Unfortunately, all it did was set up a sensational defensive play by the Washington Football Team, a 47-yard scoop-and-score touchdown by Chase Young, as WFT later added a pick-six
in a 23-15 victory. It was the second interception of the year and seventh of his career for Verrett, who also made a tackle. Mykal Walker (Vacaville) had three solo tackles for the Atlanta Falcons in a 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Women’s basketball Houston (3-1) slipped past Stephen F. Austin, 61-59, with Julia Blackshell-Fair ( Vanden)
contributing six points, three rebounds and three assists. Jada Scott (Solano) had four points and six rebounds as College of Saint Mary (1-6, 0-4 GPAC) fell 62-53 to Mount Marty. She earlier had a season-high 11 points in a 71-62 loss to Hastings.
Men’s basketball Dunnell Stafford (Solano) came off the bench to roll up 15 points,
one rebound, one block and two assists in 21 minutes in helping Fort Lewis open Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play with an 87-65 win over Western Colorado. The Skyhawks (2-1, 1-1) then lost 84-79 to Colorado Christian with Stafford getting eight points and six assists. Jordan Adams (Vacaville, Solano) pulled down a rebound and missed a 3-point attempt for William Jessup in an 86-64 exhibition loss to Nevada.

Raiders: Now 7-7 From Page B1 Kalen Ballage. At 7-7, the Raiders need to win at least one of their last two games to surpass their disappointing season of 7-9 a year ago. Regardless, having lost four of their last five with the lone win coming
against the winless Jets, it’s been another downward spiral to end the season. The Chargers are 5-9, secure in the knowledge that they have a quarterback of the future in Herbert who could potentially save the jobs of the coaching staff with a strong finish.

3 mayors, 3 defeats in NorCal cities
L
ast month’s election was unkind to mayors of three closely spaced cities in Northern California. Stockton’s Michael Tubbs and West Sacramento’s Christopher Cabaldon lost to challengers who came out of nowhere, while Sacramento voters soundly rejected Mayor Darrell Steinberg’s bid to strengthen the power of his office. If there is a common denominator it is that all three had received acclaim beyond their city limits and may have incurred what one could call a “too big for their britches” backlash. That’s particularly true of Tubbs, a young first-termer who had received nationwide media attention for his experiment in giving cash stipends to some of Stockton’s poorest residents. Dan Walters Although Stockton is overwhelmingly Democratic in voter registration, Tubbs fell to another young Black man, Kevin Lincoln, a Republican pastor and former Marine. Prior to the election, the Tubbs-Lincoln duel received scant media attention, but afterward, the Los Angeles Times and other journalistic organizations delved into the upset and pointed to a local blog, the 209 Times, that pummeled Tubbs incessantly for his alleged shortcomings. “The 209 Times has run articles, often with no proof, alleging that Tubbs has misappropriated millions of dollars earmarked for city programs, lied about his involvement with an unpopular idea to use the county fairgrounds as part of a state-funded site for homeless people, and put personal interests ahead of his elected role,” a Los Angeles Times postmortem declared. The post-election analysts also pointed to weak coverage by the local newspaper, the Stockton Record, which had undergone steep staff cuts in recent years. So was Tubbs done in by a vicious internet smear campaign? Perhaps, but there must have been an undercurrent of resentment about Tubbs’ growing fame beyond Stockton for the smears to resonate. On paper, West Sacramento’s Cabaldon should have been a shoo-in for re-election after 18 years in the mayor’s chair. His small city had flourished with a new baseball park, massive private investment in retail business, including an IKEA store, and remarkable civic improvements. Cabaldon, like Tubbs, had achieved widespread positive publicity for himself and his small city, which a former mayor of neighboring Sacramento had once dismissed as being “suitable only for warehouses.” However, he fell to a first-term city councilwoman, Martha Guerrero, who subtly suggested that Cabaldon had lost touch with the city’s ordinary residents. Guerrero is a Capitol lobbyist for Los Angeles County and a key factor in her victory was support from public employee unions, which had long seen Cabaldon as an enemy. The enmity dates back to Cabaldon’s previous career as head of EdVoice, an organization that jousts with the California Teachers Association and other school unions over charter schools and other elements of education policy. It took a while, it would appear, but the unions finally settled up an old score. Like the other two mayors, Steinberg also had achieved much, even though the office has scant authority. He had seen a rebirth of Sacramento’s downtown with a new basketball arena, new hotels, a Kaiser Permanente medical center and other facilities. The city gained a major league soccer franchise, planned a new stadium to house the team and began confronting its vexing homelessness crisis. Steinberg argued that if he was to be held accountable for what happened in the city, he should have the executive authority to deal with issues. But opponents saw his “strong mayor” proposal as a political power grab, and voters were unwilling to go along. No one would be surprised if, having been rebuked by Sacramento voters, Steinberg took his political career in another direction.

Institute of the Environment and Stability concluded: “It is likely that low-income residents of disadvantaged communities, who have the least flexible work schedules, the least access to high-efficiency appliances and energy management systems, and inhabit the most poorly insulated housing stock, will be most adversely affected by these new changes.” I’m proud to have been part of the administration behind Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act. Through all the progress made to date, including the growth of California’s renewable resources, natural gas remains the most affordable and reliable source of energy. Its role in supplying ondemand core gas services and fueling reliable electric generation remains essential to California’s economy, decarbonization and net zero goals. California has myriad environmental agencies and nonprofit organizations. Collectively, they have initiated the nation’s most complex environmental regulatory structure. Aggressive environmental regulation is these agencies’ mission, however, this is not the mission of the Public Advocates Office. The California Public Utilities Commission, the California Legislature and others involved in securing the state’s sustainable energy future need to remind the Public Advocates Office that its core responsibility is to focus on behalf of protecting ratepayers and keeping costs down. It’s too important a mission to abandon due to political pressure. Timothy Alan Simon is commissioner emeritus at the California Public Utilities Commission, tas@ tasstrategies.com.

nurturing it and holding it up as a beacon. Second, Western military superiority is most effective as a shield, not as a sword. Its value is in protecting liberty and deterring aggression. The crusading spirit that led us into Iraq and Afghanistan, hopeful that military conquest would produce social progress, was misguided and ultimately dispiriting. But the goal – progress – was no mistake. We merely employed the wrong tool. The right tool – our sword, properly understood – is economic superiority. The Western way offers a wealthier, more peaceful and freer world, and this, not brute force, explains the tremendous success of the West over the past 75 years. This will continue to work in the future, if we keep faith. The most important, and most precarious, decision the United States and its allies must make in response to China is how deeply to commit the Western military shield to Taiwan’s independence. In few places has the sword of economic development been wielded so brilliantly; Taiwan is a high-tech power through its advances in microchip manufacturing. Will we risk war with Beijing to defend Taiwan’s freedom? This question leads to a third principle: China policy is now too important to be a plaything for Washington’s reckless partisans. Just as warring Democrats and Republicans agreed after World War II to unite behind a Cold War strategy, so too must today’s leaders seek a consistent approach to China. Beijing has taken a menacing wrong turn. We need steady hands in response. David Von Drehle writes a twice-weekly column for The Washington Post.

Ann Reinking, Broadway dancer, ‘Chicago’ choreographer, dies at 71
DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, December 18, 2020 B5
Crossword
The Washington Post Ann Reinking, one of Broadway’s most heralded dancers, known for her association with Bob Fosse and for reinterpreting his dance routines in the musical play “Chicago,” for which she won a Tony Award for choreography, died Dec. 12 or 13 in Seattle. She was 71. Her husband, Peter Talbert, confirmed the death, saying she died overnight in a hotel room while visiting family members in her hometown. He said that she had heart ailments in the past and that an autopsy was being conducted to determine the cause. He said it was not related to Covid-19. Reinking (pronounced Rhine-king), who trained as a ballet dancer before switching to musical theater, was considered one of the preeminent interpreters of Fosse’s vigorous, up-from-the-streets style of dance. After ensemble roles in “Cabaret,” “Coco” and other shows, she was a featured performer in Fosse’s “Pippin” in 1972 before they began a yearslong romantic relationship. Reinking did not appear in Fosse’s “Chicago” when it premiered on Broadway in 1975. Instead, she was cast as Joan of Arc in “Goodtime Charley,” a musical comedy set in medieval France, for which she received a Tony nomination for best actress. In 1977, she took over the lead role of Roxie Hart in “Chicago” – replacing Fosse’s estranged wife, Gwen Verdon. The musical, written by composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb, takes place in 1920s Chicago. Roxie is an aging singer-dancer who kills her husband and rides the ensuing scandal to new heights of glory. “Goodtime Charley” and “Chicago” were both overshadowed that year by “A Chorus Line,” which dominated the Tony Awards. (In 1976, Reinking replaced Donna McKechnie as the lead female character in “A Chorus Line.”) In “Chicago,” Fosse built dance numbers around a style he had been perfecting since the 1950s: Every step carrying an erotic charge, with thrusting hips, shrugging shoulders, sweeping kicks and finger snaps. The female dancers wore skintight leotards and derby hats tilted over one eye and often adopted a characteristic head-turned pose, gazing over one shoulder directly at the audience. After Verdon, the longlegged, 5-foot-7 Reinking was considered perhaps the greatest interpreter of his precise but casually sensuous choreography. “I had this instant affinity for his moves,” she told Toronto’s Globe and Mail in 1998. “I loved it. It felt right and it looked good on my body and I felt I was somehow made to

She also had a prominent role in the 1980 film “All That Jazz,” based on Fosse’s complicated life. In one number, “There’ll Be Some Changes Made,” Reinking demonstrates the Fosse dance vocabulary, accentuated by kicks that extended above her head and the intensity in her large, blue eyes. Long after Reinking and Fosse broke up, they remained close and continued to collaborate onstage. He directed and choreographed her in a 1986 Broadway revival of “Sweet Charity,” a show he had premiered 20 years earlier with Verdon. Fosse died in 1987. Soon afterward, Reinking cut back on performing to focus on raising her son. But in the mid-1990s, a call came to revive “Chicago” for a limited run in the city for which the show was named. Reinking was asked to update the dances and ended up creating essentially an all-new show. The only Fosse routine retained intact was the closing number. “I didn’t remember all the numbers, and neither did anyone else,” Reinking told the Globe and Mail. “I just did what I felt was right, using all of his style, technique, and of course his props . . . the hats, gloves, ladders, chairs.” When Broadway beckoned, director Walter Bobbie urged the 47-year-old Reinking to come out of semiretirement to take on the lead role of Roxie Hart. She agreed, appearing with Bebe Neuwirth as Velma Kelly, her opposite number in crime and showbiz dreams. Reinking refined Fosse’s choreography, softening its rough, almost hypermasculine edges to give the play a more inviting sensibility. Fosse aimed for “artistry, a mental involvement,” Reinking told The New York Times in 1996. “Each move was layered with subtext, like an actor speaking his lines. You had to know the ‘why’ of what you
were doing. . . . That’s where the challenge was for me – that and the fact that for Fosse you can never be clean enough or sharp enough or, um, boozy enough.” The revived, and revised, “Chicago” opened on Broadway in 1996 to ecstatic reviews and huge audiences. “Every number in this ‘Chicago’ (and most of them are showstoppers),” theater critic Ben Brantley wrote in The Times, “buzzes with an implicit, irresistibly arrogant declaration: ‘Watch me. What I’m about to do is going to be terrific, and you’re going to love every second of it.’ “ The play won six Tony Awards, including one for Neuwirth as best actress in a musical and one for Reinking for choreography. After 24 years, “Chicago” is still a Broadway hit and one of the longest-running productions in theater history. Ann Holmes Reinking was born Nov. 10, 1949, in Seattle. Her father was a hydraulic engineer, her mother a homemaker. After seeing a production of “The Nutcracker,” Reinking decided at age 11 to become a dancer. She moved to New York at 18, and Joffrey Ballet founder Robert Joffrey suggested that she try musical theater after he noted her talent for singing. She appeared in a many productions in New York and in other cities. After the success of “Chicago,” she turned more toward choreography, including several ballets and Broadway shows. She was the co-choreographer and co-director of “Fosse,” a 1999 musical about her mentor. She also taught for many years at a summer theater program in Tampa, Fla., and helped stage productions of “Chicago” around the world. She lived in recent years in Paradise Valley, Ariz. Her marriages to Larry Small, Herbert Allen and James Stuart ended in divorce. Survivors include Talbert, her husband since 1994; a son from her third marriage; and six siblings. Throughout her life, Reinking led master classes around the country.

BACK TO THE TABLE IN NORTHERN EUROPE Some countries have held top-level at-the-table bridge events. The first three were, I believe, in Poland, Latvia and Norway.

by Phillip Alder drive up the coast from Kragero. Today’s deal features great play by Tom Johansen, whose team finished second. It was reported by Knut Kjaernsro. How did Johansen play in four spades after West led the diamond queen to dummy’s king? Note that South’s jump to four spades promised at least five trumps. Since North might have raised with only three spades in a minimum 3=1=4=5 or 3=4=1=5 hand, South, with only four spades, should rebid three no-trump. Then North will pass with three spades or correct to four spades with four-card support. Declarer seemed destined to lose one heart and three clubs. How could he make one loser evaporate? Johansen drew trumps in three rounds, played his second diamond to dummy’s ace and called for the club 10. If East had covered with his queen, it would have clarified the position, but he played low. Now West, after winning with the club ace, wasn’t sure what was happening. He shifted to the heart jack. South played low from the board and dropped the nine from his hand! West, thinking that he had found the killing defense, continued with the heart two. Declarer took East’s queen with his ace, played the heart three to dummy’s eight and discarded a club on the heart king. Cool! COPYRIGHT: 2020, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

PARCEL TWO: THOSE CERTAIN EASEMENTS APPURTENANT TO PARCEL ONE ABOVE, AS SET FORTH IN THE RECIPROCAL GRANT OF EASEMENT AFFECTING PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE TRAVIS SHOPPING CENTER, RECORDED DECEMBER 26, 2002, INSTRUMENT NO. 200200170535, OFFICIAL RECORDS. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 658 PARKER ROAD, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. Total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,454,087.78 In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state.

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 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-201497. 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.

Baseball and softball would be allowable in the Red or Substantial Tier, football, soccer, volleyball, water polo and badminton in the Orange or Moderate Tier, basketball and wrestling in the Yellow or Moderate Tier. Vanden football coach Sean Murphy knows much must happen before football can be played and that the start of the season will likely be further delayed.

“I am hopeful that we may be able to play a modified season in March,� the coach said. “A lot is going to depend on how serious citizens in our county are about stopping the spread of Covid-19. Hopefully, this holiday season people will make some sacrifices as we see the vaccines starting to be administered and we will be able to get Covid-19 under control to a level that will allow our student athletes to compete.� Fairfield football coach Merwin Matsukado agreed that a safe season is possible. “The chance of that happening is always the hope for any coach to have for his kids,� Matsukado said. “Ultimately, every coach . . . has their student athletes’ health and safety in mind. And I know if

we get to (the) Orange Tier and (are) allowed to get on the field to play, each coach, official and administrator will ensure that all health and safety requirements are followed to protect all individuals involved.� Former NFL standout Stevie Johnson, who’s returning to Rodriguez, his alma mater, as head football coach, wants his players have their best shot at moving on – even if it means drastic changes to the schedule. “We could’ve had a season already,� Johnson said. “I’m still ready to do only league games, once or twice, if that’s what it’ll come to for the seniors to get film.� According to Wilson, it will take drastic changes – and some imagination – to make it all work out.

also concerned that not everyone will get to play. “In order to actually see competition this school year, we’re going to have to be flexible and we’re going to have to rethink how – and when – we do things,� Wilson said. “Obviously, sports permitted in Purple have a great chance to be played fairly soon. I’m reasonably confident that Red Tier sports can start as planned. Sports in the Orange Tier will likely need to be postponed until later in the spring or, ultimately, cancelled. My fingers are crossed for the Yellow Tier sports, but we’re going to need to see significant progress sooner than later. Postponement is likely our best-case scenario.�

his outlet on the play, but Juszczyk darted up field and Mullens’ pass was behind him leading to the Washington score that put the game out of reach. Shanahan said after the game Mullens should have thrown the ball away. Mullens on Wednesday said avoiding those mistakes is a focus this week before traveling to Dallas and taking on the NFL’s sixthranked passing defense. “Just make the simple play,� Mullens said. “That’s the biggest thing. Just make the simple play. Don’t try to do too much. If it’s not there, throw it away. And that’s up to me. I have the ball in my hands every play, and so I’ve just got to protect it. “I mean, those are routine plays,� he continued. “Those are expected to be made, that’s the expectation at the position. And that keeps us on the field, so I’ve got to
be more accurate.� Mullens in 2021 is a restricted free agent, meaning the 49ers will have a chance to match any offer he receives from another team. How he plays down the stretch could factor into San Francisco’s decision. The same is true for Beathard, who is in the final season of his rookie contract after being a third-round pick in 2017. Shanahan pointed out poor quarterback play can draw emotional responses from himself and fans, and he tries to let the game tape speak for itself when it comes to evaluating the position after the fact. “That’s why you’ve got to study the tape and really think about it and do what’s best for the team,� he said. “(I) thought about it for two days. Nick’s going to get the start week unless something goes crazy in practice, but they’re both ready to play.�
