FAIRFIELD — Solano County residents did have a summertime fair, but not the likes of one that had ever been seen before. The only event that remotely looked or felt – or smelled – like a traditional fair marvel was the annual, and live, Junior Livestock Show, during which area 4-H, FFA and Grange participants had their animals judged. The public, however, was not allowed onto the grounds. Five hours after the livestock show ended, the county’s firstever virtual fair was launched with an opening ceremony that included a car show filmed five days earlier, a little history of past fairs and a number of other prepackaged activities. The effort, headed by Fair Board Director Manuel Angel, received national attention and acclaim. Thousands watched the fair’s virtual competitions, entertainment and other activities. The Covid-19 pandemic made virtual life a very real part of everyday life, and made Zoom video conferencing a mainstay of government, businesses and homes.

FAIRFIELD — Solano County re-energized its Solano360 project with the selection of a new master developer for the redevelopment of the fairgrounds in Vallejo, and Vacaville formed a 300-acre California Biomanufacturing Center zone – both in the final quarter of 2020. The final review of the Covid-19 pandemic on Solano County’s economy, however, will likely be on how many small businesses will have been lost. A state stay-at-home order forced the closure of many businesses in the spring, and while many businesses ignored a second lockdown order in December, economists do expect many businesses not to survive.
VACAVILLE — An apparent lightning strike in Napa County on Aug. 17 raged over Blue Ridge the following night and became the worst fire in Solano County history. Two men lost their lives, 309 homes were destroyed and more than 900 structures burned as the Hennessey Fire – the largest of six fires that made up the LNU Lightning Complex Fire, which scorched more than 567.53 square miles See Fire, Page A10 INSIDE • Future of Solano regional park less clear.

Fauci’s 2021 forecast: School reopenings, vaccines and some ‘normalcy’ by fall Los Angeles Times It’s been a grim December, and January is looking to be just as bleak as the coronavirus continues to ravage both California and the nation. In a conversation broadcast online Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious diseases expert, talked to Gov. Gavin Newsom about why the pandemic has
Fauci been so hard to control in California and across the U.S. But he also offered some hope about the future, outlining his
latest estimate on when things might get back to a greater semblance of normality and whether schools can safely reopen. Here are some of Fauci’s thoughts on what 2021 might look like: Schools can safely reopen, even when there’s substantial community transmission Fauci said the coronavirus acts very differently from the flu when it comes to children.
With the coronavirus, children seem to have lower levels of infection than the broader community. “That was almost counterintuitive, but it’s turning out to be that way,” Fauci said. “What we should do is to do everything to support the maintenance of the children in school. . . . If you really want to get society back to some form of normality, one of the first things

my beloved Las Vegas Raiders. Winning the Super Bowl? That’s a bit much. Making the playoffs? Nah. Winning the AFC West? No. Having a winning record? Puh-leez. Having all the players come onto the field wearing pants? Bingo. Baby steps. I resolve in 2021 to actually become a cartoon since so many people have said I resemble Joe Gardener from the new Pixar movie “Soul.” I used to get Fat Albert a lot so at least Joe is a step up. I’m not sure about how exactly to go about transforming into an animated state, but all it took for Don Knotts was falling into the ocean to become “The Incredible Mr. Limpet.” Hmmmm . . . I resolve in 2021 to not make such a big fuss out of it being my birthday. I turn 57 tomorrow, as you (should) know, and years ago I developed and perfected my official Tony Wade Facebook Birthday Wishing Guidelines©. They include requesting that, if at all possible, friends who post
birthday wishes on my Facebook timeline take at least five minutes and “Google me up” something original/funny/ poignant that is related to stuff I like, such as the Raiders, The Beatles, Scrabble, etc. In hindsight, that was way too rigid. Folks can just search for three minutes. I resolve in 2021 to learn to play guitar – finally. I will take this one the baby steps way as well. I won’t expect to go from zero to Hendrix. I just want to be able to play three chords, which would open up the entire AC/DC catalog. I resolve in 2021 not to trip too much on gender roles. I mean, I am quite secure in my masculinity. That said, when I recently needed some duct tape and the only roll we had was a pink one that my wife had, I suspended my own Man Card. I resolve in 2021 to have more John Hughes moments in my columns. The late filmmaker, who made iconic 1980s movies like “Sixteen Candles” and “Uncle Buck,” was known for bringing the funny and
irreverent and then suddenly at some point in the movie having a real touching, human moment. My fave was in the madcap “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” when Neal Page (Steve Martin) realizes that Del Griffith (John Candy), whom he has endured through several mishaps trying to get home for Thanksgiving, doesn’t have a place to go to and invites him to his house. In that vein, here is my John Hughes moment for this column: For my birthday I am doing a Facebook fundraiser for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. My brother Kenneth James Wade took his life in 1990 before taking that of his girlfriend. I also had a friend die this year by his own hand.

FAIRFIELD — He did it. Raymond Courtemanche wrapped up his seven half-marathons Thursday, run over seven days in seven cities. He began Christmas in Rio Vista. A map, and a little math, added another 1.5 miles to his course that day. The rain came down Monday in Dixon and he ran in rain-soaked wear. His GPS didn’t work for about a mile Wednes-
inspired by the story of “The Iron Cowboy,” who did 50 Ironman races in 50 consecutive days through all 50 states. His 7-7-7 plan was to do something physical while bringing awareness to homeless youth in the area and how they often fall prey to human trafficking. He was once homeless on the streets of Fairfield. Courtemanche said he hopes to build some continuity from the runs. “It’s really important for me to bring the community together,” he
said. “We can work out the challenges.” He’s not planning another half-marathon streak, he said, but would love to see each of the seven cities he visited run with the idea of hosting one of their own. Throughout the runs, he shared his vision, working with Nature of Sound and the Solano Anti-Trafficking Coalition to secure emergency shelter operations for homeless youth as well as affordable housing. He is the stepfather of slain Fairfield council-
man Matt Garcia, who was elected to serve when he was 21. The Matt Garcia Foundation was launched after that as well as the Matt Garcia College and Career Academy, which was Courtemanche’s final stop Thursday. There, he sat with Matt Garcia Foundation board members, sharing stories. “Even in the tragedy of losing Matt, I understood the enormity (of youth issues),” he said. Courtemanche also ran by schools and churches in Fairfield, offering prayers.
You can follow his journey at facebook.com/ The-Matt-Garcia-Foundation-435030395190. It will also link you to the organization’s website where donations are welcome. The foundation’s annual golf tournament could not be held this year because of Covid-19. Courtemanche said he was also happy to share that he didn’t injure himself during the halfmarathons. It was all done through “the grace of God,” he said.

Mysterious group still buying up Solano ag land Todd R. Hansen
FAIRFIELD — Solano County was, at the very least, moving forward on the concept of a regional park when the curtain rose on 2020. Just two months earlier the Board of Supervisors had accepted the Initial Administrative and Financing Plan for the proposed Solano County Park and Open Space District, and a line of supporters was forming.

FAIRFIELD — A group of investors under the Flannery Associates LLC banner has purchased 24,000 acres of land in Solano County. It is a 2020 story that started in 2019 and startled some local residents enough that they asked the Board of Supervisors to include the area as a priority conservation area. That was in September 2019 when the total acres purchased was announced as 30,000. The lower figure was confirmed Tuesday by the Solano County Assessor’s Office. One of the concerns about the purchases is the proximity to Travis Air Force Base, which prompted wild theories of foreign involvement,
or of equal concern, that future plans for the land could interfere with base operations. “To give you some background on my client, Flannery Associates is owned by a group of families looking to diversify their portfolio from equities into real assets, including agricultural land in the western United States,” the group’s attorney wrote in a letter sent to the county. One of the more recent theories to surface is the land would be used for solar power development.

SUISUN CITY — Solano Volunteers and the TriCity NAACP will partner with the American Red Cross to host a community blood drive in recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and National Blood Donor Month during the month of January. “Donors of all blood types are urged to give now to help the Red Cross maintain the blood supply,” said Rhonda Smith, Center for Volunteer & Nonprofit’s Solano Volunteers Program Coordinator, in a news release. “Medical conditions and emergencies don’t stop for a pandemic, seasonal illnesses, or winter weather.”
Blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors. With someone in the U.S. needing blood every two seconds, blood products must be constantly replenished, according to the Red Cross. “Solano Volunteers and the Tri-City NAACP are committed to strengthening our community and helping meet hospital and patient needs through blood donations,” said Johnicon George, Tri-City NAACP president, in the press release. “This blood drive is our way of giving staff, colleagues and neighbors an opportunity to help save lives.” According to the Red Cross, donors with all blood types are needed,
especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative. “We urge community members to donate blood and help ensure that patients in local hospitals have a supply of blood ready and waiting before an emergency occurs,” Smith said in the release. “There’s no better feeling than knowing that your blood donation may give someone a second chance at life.” The blood drive is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 7 at The Salvation Army Kroc Center, 586 E. Wigeon Way. For more information or to make an appointment to donate, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or sign up online at red crossblood.org.

Paradise Valley Estates administers Study: Covid-19 will influence 60% of first doses of Covid-19 vaccines New Year’s resolutions Daily Republic Staff

FAIRFIELD — More than 160 staff and Paradise Valley Estates residents received the first round of Covid-19 vaccines Wednesday. “The residents were our most vulnerable in skilled nursing, but we plan on expanding the vaccinations to other groups in January and February,� Jeff Rausis, Paradise Valley Estates’ director of communications and technology, said in a press release. The vaccinations were administered by staff from CVS Pharmacy. Paradise Valley Estates has a partnership with CVS from previous community outreach. The first team member vaccinated was Elvie Gabionza, an infection preventionist, who has worked with state and local regulators and led Paradise Valley Estates’ efforts to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus at Paradise Valley Estates. No adverse reactions were reported, Rausis said in the press release. The second round of vaccines for this group will be administered in late January. Paradise Valley Estates will receive another 600plus vaccinations for residents and frontline staff in other levels of care, including assisted living and memory care,

A resident at Paradise Valley Estates receives the Covid-19 vaccine, Wednesday. Rausis report. Care facilities throughout the country have experienced outbreaks of Covid-19 after the novel coronavirus made its way into the facilities through residents, staff, visitors, vendors or other means. The virus has shown itself to be particularly
deadly to older people and people with underlying health conditions – situations that are common in care facilities. Threequarters of the deaths thus far recorded in Solano County and attributed at least in part to Covid-19 have come in people who are 65 or older.
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.

Despite the cutback, Christmas was the busiest travel holiday during the year. Seven states in the Northeast had reported declines of 40% or more. Vermont’s road travel was 52.9% lower than in 2019.

Kibben was the first woman to serve as chief of Navy chaplains, serving from 2014-2018 in that role, and was previously chaplain of the Marine Corps.

FAIRFIELD — Nearly 60% of Americans say their New Year’s resolutions will be influenced by Covid-19, according to a new WalletHub survey. Wallet Hub also released its list of the Top 10 Financial Resolutions for 2021. Key t a keaways include: n 43 million Americans think New Year’s will never be the same due to Covid-19. n 62% of Americans think New Year’s resolutions will be harder to keep in 2021 than in 2020. n 7 in 10 people admit they’ve cheated on a New Year’s resolution. WalletHub’s top New Year’s Financial Resolutions for 2021 are: n Make a realistic budget and stick to it. n Look for a better job. n Fo cus on physical health. The following questionnaire was included with the survey. How do you think Covid-19 is impacting the financial resolutions people will make for 2021? “Covid-19 has forced everyone to consider not only our own mortality but also our financial vulnerabilities – from the stability of our income to the sustainability of our spending habits and savings. So it is no surprise that millions of Americans plan to make financial New Year’s resolutions for 2021,� said Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst, in a prepared statement. What are the top New Year’s resolutions that people should make for their finances in 2021? “The top New Year’s resolutions that people
should make for their finances in 2021 are to follow a realistic budget and pay off existing credit card debt,� Gonzalez in the statement. “Fortunately, it seems like many Americans have gotten a head start on getting rid of credit card debt. Consumers have paid off a record $119 billion in credit card debt through the first three quarters of the year and are expected to end the year with less debt than they started with for the first time since 2009.� Why do you think most people have trouble sticking to their New Year’s resolutions? “Two of the biggest reasons people don’t stick to their New Year’s resolutions are low expectations and the lack of a clear plan. Just 4% of people think 2021 will be better for their wallet than 2020, WalletHub’s survey found,� Gonzalez said in the statement. “Fewer than 40% of resolution-makers expect to stick to their goal for the full year,� she said. “Plus, far too many of us confuse resolutions with hopes and wishes. A resolution should be considered a vow to achieve a goal, and that means you need to make a realistic plan for getting there.� Learn more at https:// wa l let hub.c om / blog / financia l-new-yearsresolutions/9202.

President-elect Biden particularly. Biden's silence about Warnock's comments and behavior are conspicuous and disturbing. You might wonder if I'm hoping for Joe Biden to stumble and even fail in his presidential duties. It's a split decision in my mind: Can there be a strong America with a weak president? You might say that politics is taking a back seat to the dreaded novel coronavirus pandemic, and in terms of news coverage, that is the new reality. But I have a question for you. Would you each rather have a check for $600 in your bank account or the more generous $2,000? After all, it's free money. If the Democrats win both seats in Georgia on Jan. 5, look for your taxes to go up, more regulations on much of what you do and I'm afraid a stifling of the spirit of free enterprise.
commentary
IMPORTANT ADDRESSES
he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Monday that 2.1 million doses of novel coronavirus vaccines have been administered in two weeks. While this might sound like an impressive number, it should set off alarms. Let’s start with the math. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious-disease doctor, estimates that 80% to 85% of Americans need to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require two doses. Eighty percent of the American population is around 264 million people, so we need to administer 528 million doses to achieve herd immunity. At the current rate, it would take the United States approximately 10 years to reach that level of inoculation. That’s right – 10 years. Contrast that with the Trump administration’s rosy projections: Earlier this month, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Leana S. Wen Azar predicted that every American will be able to get the vaccine by the second quarter of 2021 (which would be the end of June). The speed needed to do that is 3.5 million vaccinations a day. There’s reason to believe the administration won’t be able to ramp up vaccination rates anywhere close to those levels. Yes, as vaccine production increases, more will be available to the states. And Brett Giroir, assistant secretary for health at HHS, argued Sunday that the 2.1 million administered vaccines figure was an underestimate due to delayed reporting. So let’s be generous and say the administration actually administered 4 million doses over the first two weeks. But even that would still fall far short of the 3.5 million vaccinations needed per day. Here’s what concerns me most: Instead of identifying barriers to meeting the goal, officials are backtracking on their promises. When states learned they would receive fewer doses than they had been told, the administration said its end-ofyear goal was not for vaccinations but vaccine distribution. It also halved the number of doses that would be available to people, from 40 million to 20 million. (Perhaps they hoped no one would notice that their initial pledge was to vaccinate 20 million people, which is 40 million doses, or that President Trump had at one point vowed to have 100 million doses by the end of the year.) And there’s more fancy wordplay that’s cause for concern: Instead of vaccine distribution, the administration promises “allocation” in December. Actual delivery for millions of doses wouldn’t take place until January, to say nothing of the logistics of vaccine administration. The vaccine rollout is giving me flashbacks to the administration’s testing debacle. Think back to all the times Trump pledged that “everyone who wants a test can get one.” Every time this was factchecked, it came up false. Instead of admitting that there wasn’t enough testing, administration officials followed a playbook to confuse and obfuscate: They first attempted to play up the number of tests done. Just like 2 million vaccines in two weeks, 1 million tests a week looked good on paper – until they were compared to the 30 million a day that some experts say are needed. The administration then tried to justify why more tests weren’t needed. Remember Trump saying that “tests create cases” or the CDC issuing nonsensical testing guidance? When that didn’t work, Trump officials deflected blame to the states. Never mind that there should have been a national strategy or that states didn’t have the resources to ramp up testing on their own. It was easier to find excuses than to admit that they were falling short and do the hard work to remedy it. Instead of muddying the waters, the federal government needs to take three urgent steps. First, set up a real-time public dashboard to track vaccine distribution. The public needs to know exactly how many doses are being delivered, distributed and administered. Transparency will help hold the right officials accountable, as well as target additional resources where they are most needed. Second, publicize the plan for how vaccination will scale up so dramatically. States have submitted their individual plans to the CDC, but we need to see a national strategy that sets ambitious but realistic goals. Third, acknowledge the challenges and end the defensiveness. The public will understand if initial goals need to be revised, but there must be a willingness to learn from missteps and immediately course-correct. I remain optimistic that vaccines will one day end this horrific pandemic that has taken far too many lives. To get there, we must approach the next several months with urgency, transparency and humility.

the reason experiences are powerful is anticipation.” Sometimes looking forward to something is more pleasurable than the experience itself. That’s why Dunn and a friend are planning a trip to a dude ranch in the summer of 2021. “We could probably wait to start planning this trip,” she admits, but filling out their shared Google doc is giving them something fun to do now. Another way to buy an experience is to buy more free time. People feel much happier when they outsource tasks they find unpleasant, Dunn’s research shows, but guilt often stops us from doing this. After all, it’s work we could be doing ourselves. Nonetheless, she says, if you hate cooking – or are just getting sick of having to do it day after day after day – go ahead and buy some ready-made meals. If you’d rather not do the snow shoveling, hire someone to plow the driveway. You’ll also be supporting local businesspeople. The last and best way to buy happiness: Help others. A tranche of Dunn’s research focuses on what academics call “prosocial spending” and its powerful effects. Charitable donations bring us joy; we feel even better when we can see the tangible effects of our giving. So make a donation to your local food pantry, or send a DoorDash order to a friend going through a hard time. Deliver a homemade dinner to a lonely relative, even if you have to leave it on their porch. How do you gauge how much generosity is enough? An old rule of thumb: Give until you feel good.

I feel so hopeless, but I can’t stop looking. — Fading Fast Dear Fading: First and foremost, make your bedroom a phone-free zone. Having our phones around keeps our brains engaged and makes it difficult to fall asleep and get high-quality sleep. And quality sleep is essential to mental health. Secondly, go on a news diet. Set a certain amount of minutes or a certain window of time during which you’ll check the news, and steer clear of it otherwise. (There are even apps designed to help with this: The program SelfControl allows users to block themselves from accessing certain sites for a designated amount of time.) You shouldn’t stick your head in the sand, but you shouldn’t stare straight into the sun, either. Lastly, you’ll feel less depressed about the general state of the world if you feel you’re doing your part to improve it. Figure out which causes you care most passionately about, and get plugged in with a relevant organization in your area.

Sudoku
by Phillip Alder How should the auction proceed after the given start? At some tables, North rebid three no-trump, which feels wrong with such a good hand for diamonds. Others rebid three diamonds, which is better. But then South bid three no-trump, and North passed. Although North has only 9 points, the four trumps (guaranteeing at least a nine-card fit), side-suit singleton and heart ace are pluses. Over three clubs, I like North’s rebidding four diamonds to show a good hand for that strain. Then six or maybe even seven diamonds will be reached. The defenders’ cards are favorably distributed. South wins the spade king with his ace, plays a heart to the ace and continues with the heart queen, planning to discard his second spade. Here, though, East covers with the king. South ruffs, cashes both minor-suit aces, ruffs a club on the board, pitches his low spade on the heart jack and ruffs a spade. To make six from here isn’t hard. Declarer ruffs a club, plays a trump to his king and leads out clubs from the top. West gets one trump trick. Making seven is more difficult. After that last spade ruff, declarer must cash the club king, ruff a club, ruff a spade and lead his high club eight to make the last two tricks on a crossruff.

Covid-19: Solano reports first transmitted case in February From Page One China – were brought to Travis Air Force Base. The Westwind Inn, the on-base hotel, also became a quarantine home for passengers from cruise ships where the novel coronavirus had spread, turning the ships into isolated floating islands. The county then made headlines when it reported the first community transmitted case in late February, and soon another term would dominate the lexicon: pandemic. Solano County declared a local health emergency existed Feb. 27, and about a month later, schools throughout the county were shuttered. What many thought would be an inconvenience for two or three weeks has turned into a months-long closure with the introduction of yet another phrase: distance learning. Some private schools have reopened when it appeared the county was emerging from the worst of the pandemic – following a new color-tiered state system that defined what a county could and could not do depending on the level in which it found itself. Purple, and its restrictive tones, has become Solano County’s hue. The first Covid-related death was reported in April. As of Thursday, the Public Health Division reported 98 disease-related fatalities. Since the start of the pandemic, and as of Wednesday, 9,486 residents have been hospitalized (an updated total was not reported Thursday). With the surge after Thanksgiving, the available capacity in the intensive care units plummeted to as low as 8%. That resulted in the state issuing a far more restrictive stay-at-home order prohibiting private gatherings, forcing the closure of some businesses

Suisun resident Dwayne Potts arrives home after being treated for Covid-19, April 6, 2020. for the second time and limiting customer capacity for others. It has been an order widely ignored. As case numbers rose, the state in March took the unpopular step of closing down businesses that were not viewed as essential. But the inconsistency of the order became immediately apparent, as large retailers experienced a windfall and small businesses were at risk of closing permanently. A flooring store was allowed to stay open because it was viewed as a part of the essential construction sector, but a furniture store next door, which offered products for new builds and remodels, was closed. As the months passed and the economic slowdown became more painful, including historically high unemployment, protests to the business closures, restrictions and personal rights became louder and louder. Government agencies came under fire for what some people believed were violations of their constitutional rights, up to and including defying the health order’s requirement to wear face coverings
when in public settings. Even churches were closed, although the U.S. Supreme Court in the fall issued a unanimous decision stating that order violated the Constitution, and specifically the First Amendment. Economists are in general agreement that the $2.2 trillion CARES Act stimulus package passed by Congress near the end of March softened the blow. It included $1,200 checks to most Americans. Additional federal funding to augment state unemployment also was viewed as critical. Sola no Count y received $45.8 million in CARES Act funding. The stimulus funneled $1.44 million to Fairfield, $359,536 to Suisun City and $1.22 million to Vacaville. Vallejo received $1.47 million, while Benicia received $335,553; Dixon received $246,597; and Rio Vista received $123,311. Fairfield ($507,084), Vacaville ($297,029) and Vallejo ($618,244) also received Housing and Urban Development/ Community Development Block Grant funding. The CARES Act also
included funding to transit agencies, hospitals, workforce agencies and schools – all of which were affected when the state and county began partial shutdowns in March in an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19. The Roomkey Project even tried to address the threat of Covid-19 among the homeless population. The program included hotel housing in Cordelia, Vacaville and Vallejo. A second $900 billion federal relief package has been approved, though it does not include help to local government. Most Americans will receive $600 checks. Another theme that quickly developed in Solano was that many residents were not willing to sacrifice their time with family and friends – and apparently they were not going to adhere to safety protocols such as wearing facemasks and frequent handwashing. And yet another term made its way into the daily language: social distancing, defined in increments of 6 feet. As the social gatherings continued and even
Microsoft: Russians Economic: 2020 hacked its network, viewing source code From Page A1
The Washington Post Russian gover nment hackers engaged in a sweeping series of breaches of government and private-sector networks have been able to penetrate deeper into Microsoft’s systems than previously known, gaining access to potentially valuable source code, the tech giant said Thursday. The firm previously acknowledged that it had inadvertently downloaded a software patch used by Russian cyberspies as a potential “back door” into victims’ systems. But it was not known that the hackers had viewed the firm’s source code, or the crucial DNA of potentially valuable, proprietary software. Microsoft, however, did not specify what type of source code was accessed. The intruder compromised an employee account through which it viewed the code, the firm said. “We detected unusual activity with a small number of internal accounts and upon review, we discovered one account had been used to view source code in a number of source code repositories,” the firm said in a blog post.
Microsoft disclosed two weeks ago that it detected malicious software in its system, a reference to a software patch from the firm SolarWinds that the Russians had manipulated to gain potential access to victims. U.S. government officials have said that merely downloading a software update does not constitute a hack, but there can be no doubt that gaining access to source code does. The latest development places Microsoft, one of the world’s largest cloud and software firms, among the victims of not just any breach but one of the most high-profile cyberespionage campaigns in recent years. The Fortune 500 company now joins at least five major U.S. government agencies – Treasury, State, Commerce, Homeland Security and the National Institutes of Health, as well as a leading cybersecurity firm, FireEye - on the Russians’ hit list. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has publicly accused the Russians of carrying out the intrusions.

The hope is that the original stimulus efforts helped greatly, and a second that gained momentum as 2020 came to an end, will also help. “We anticipate some costs to the county outside of the CARES funding due to Covid-19. While we do not have these exact figures at this time, as they are still coming together, we expect some of the largest hits to include reduced revenues in realignment, public safety, health and social services and as a result of staffing reassignments,” a statement released by the county administration said. “. . . (I)t is important to note that some costs not covered by CARES may be eligible for FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) reimbursement. These figures will become more clear as the county works through the budget process this spring.” The county and cities anticipated a bigger fallout from the novel coronavirus pandemic as they developed their 2020-21 budgets, but tax revenues came in better than anticipated due to the construction industry and online retail taxes. That has helped local governments to maintain services, and just as important, likely prevented job cuts, officials said. It will be as much a story in 2021 as it was in 2020. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, economic throughout effor ts Solano County continued, though many agency efforts were focused on pandemic relief. “Some of our highlights were . . . trying to help small businesses and
expanded, particularly around holidays, case numbers spiked. The evidence showed businesses were not the source of transmission, but the state continued to focus its attention on the business sector. Gov. Gavin Newsom, caught ignoring his own rules at a Napa restaurant, has become the face of the pandemic in California. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco Mayor London Breed and a host of other political figures around the country, including President Donald Trump, also were shown behaving as though they were above the rules that governed most Americans. Trump himself was hospitalized after being infected, and during his quarantine, took a car ride that exposed his Secret Service protection team to the virus. L ocal protesters demanded the county stand up against the governor. Others – whether it is because they support Newsom’s efforts or they are unwilling to risk the loss in millions of relief funding, including members of the Board of Supervisors – have not defied the state. Super v isor John Vasquez noted that for every person who wants them to defy the governor, there is at least one county resident urging them to enforce the regulations. Enforcement of the health orders has largely been educational in nature, as the county and cities have not been willing to forcefully shut down businesses that, as time progressed, have defied the state. Covid-19 quickly moved front and center in the political entanglements, and ultimately, the November 2020 election. And people continued to die. As 2020 neared 2021, health officials report
By the numbers As of Thursday, the Solano County Public Health Division reports there were 19,211 cases in the county, with a seven-day positivity rate of 18.5% and the ICU capacity at 21%. The cases by jurisdiction are: • Vallejo: 5,613 • Fairfield: 5,443 • Vacaville: 4,854 • Suisun City: 1,346 • Dixon: 1,221 • Benicia: 508 • Rio Vista: 165 • Unincorporated county area: 61
Covid-related deaths had reached 25,386 in California as of New Year’s Eve; 345,271 in the U.S. and 1.816 million globally. California had 428 new deaths Thursday alone, while there were 3,744 new deaths in the United States and 9,035 around the world. Hope rang out with the introduction of vaccines, though the general public is not likely to get its share until the springtime, marking more than a full year since the first cases emerged. And because Covid-19 is not going away, the Solano County Fair Board expects the 2021 summertime fair to, at the very least, include a very real virtual element. 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.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, January 1, 2021 A9
Fauci: Hopes for ‘semblance of normality’ by fall From Page A1 said there’s a sense that by January, there will be greater momentum, and the pace of inoculations will accelerate. Before the general public gets the vaccine, though, there are other priority groups who are next in line. It will likely be the end of March or the beginning of April before the vaccine is available to everyone. At that point, the race will be on to get as many people vaccinated through the spring and summer, with the goal to have everyone vaccinated by the time cooler weather arrives next fall. If the U.S. is diligent about getting many people vaccinated between April and July, “I believe . . . by the time we get to the early fall, we will have enough good herd immunity to be able to really get back to some strong semblance of normality – schools, theaters, sports events, restaurants. I believe if we do it correctly, we will be there by the early fall,” Fauci said. No one really knows what percentage of the population needs to be immunized to interrupt the spread of the virus, Fauci said. He guessed it would be somewhere between 70% and 85%. “If you have the opportunity to get vaccinated, please get vaccinated,” Fauci said. “It’s a safe and it’s a highly efficacious vaccine that could save your life, the life of your family and the community. “So I believe with those two things – adherence to the kind of things that you’ve been talking about in California, the public health measures, and as we gradually get more and more people vaccinated, we’re going
to be looking at this thing in the rearview mirror,” Fauci told Newsom. Failure to contain coronavirus would be disastrous for economy Some people think of the business restrictions implemented to control the pandemic as too high a price to pay. But Fauci said the pandemic needs to be controlled in order to allow the economy to get back to normal. “We need to use public health measures – as a vehicle, a gateway, a tool – to get the economy back. It isn’t the economy versus public health. It’s public health bridging you to getting the economy back,” Fauci said. The economy will reopen “when you get the level of infection down,” Fauci said. “And the only way you’re going to get the level of infection down before the vaccine kicks in is by the public health measures that you have been talking about.” Fauci also looked back at the challenges of 2020. Here are some key points: Asymptomatic spread of the virus makes this pandemic far harder to control The initial information coming out of China in late 2019 about the coronavirus was misleading, Fauci said. Initially, the word was that the virus did not efficiently transmit between humans, which ended up being wrong. Then, the word was that it was mostly being transmitted by people who were visibly sick. The sober ing reality was that even people without visible symptoms were transmitting the virus. “That, to me, is something that was the game-changer,” Fauci said. “Because you can’t
just test people who are with symptoms, because you’re going to miss the asymptomatic people.” Second, it meant that mask wearing became very important. “If you don’t know who’s infected, then everybody should be wearing a mask, which is the real fundamental rationale for saying we need universal and uniform wearing of masks,” Fauci said. Wide range of outcomes – from no symptoms to death – made it too easy to dismiss the virus Fauci said he’s never seen a virus like this one, where 40% of those infected have no symptoms at all, while 20% to 25% get symptoms so severe they may need hospitalization or die. “The mystery of how you can have so many people who have no symptoms, and so many people who get seriously impacted, is one of the reasons why we have a messaging difficulty,” Fauci said. “Because most of the people who do well are young people, and they say, ‘What do I got to worry about?’ . . . So they say to themselves, ‘Why do I need to interrupt my life?’” But that sentiment has had serious consequences and has been a factor in the worst death toll of any nation in the world – more than 335,000 deaths. And public health activities such as mask wearing became politicized. In Los Angeles County, the cumulative Covid-19 death toll of more than 10,000 is now triple the cumulative death toll from the flu in the last flu season, which was 3,133. This has been the most politicized public health crisis in modern U.S. history The best public health
messages are consistent and simple. But the coronavirus pandemic has become so politically divisive that it’s been very difficult to have a consistent public health message, Fauci said. It has even been worse than the efforts to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS, public health crises that political leaders failed to pay enough attention to in their early years. “It wasn’t anything like the divisiveness that we’re seeing right now, which really makes implementation of public health measures and public health messaging very difficult,” Fauci said. U.S. should have done much better in controlling the pandemic Asked by Newsom whether he expected the U.S. would be dealing with a national death toll exceeding 335,000, Fauci admitted he thought the U.S. would be in a much better place by now. Even when New York was being hit hard in the late winter and early spring of 2020, Fauci anticipated that the nation would be able to push coronavirus levels down and that public health officials would figure out how to contain flareups. But the U.S. never got to a low baseline, Fauci said. Too many states abandoned stay-at-home orders too early, and so when the cooler weather came with the arrival of fall, “we just went right off the roof,” Fauci said. “What surprised me and really disappointed me so much was that I thought if we would get down to a really, really low baseline, as we had these individual little blips, we could do identification, isolation and contact tracing, and we’d be in good shape,” Fauci said.
“The only trouble is, when you have . . . 100,000 community cases on a given day, it makes it almost impossible to do effective identification, isolation and contact tracing,” he said. “So we’ve been hit badly, and unfortunately, California is hit right now currently as bad as anybody, if not worse.” We should be doing even more testing As we look ahead, Fauci said we should be looking at flooding schools and congregate living settings with testing, particularly with so-called antigen tests that are easier to process and can be used widely in settings such as schools. “If we just very, very much utilize that testing – in schools for teachers, even ultimately, for the students, intermittently – you could get a good feel for what the penetrance of infection is and you can do something about it,” Fauci said. “We should put much more emphasis on community-type of surveillance testing, so that you get a feel for where you are – where you are with schools, with prisons, with nursing homes. That’s the way to go,” Fauci said. Because the virus is often transmitted by people with no signs of illness, “you’re not going to get them by only testing people with symptoms.” Colleges that have implemented this kind of routine testing have found this approach successful in maintaining a low level of virus transmission, he said. That’s because this approach identifies viruspositive people early and sends them into isolation until they recover, rather than allowing the virus to become so widespread that officials are forced to shut the campus down.

Fire: Countless livestock lost or injured From Page A1 (363,220 acres) in parts of six counties – roared down three Solano canyons and threatened thousands of more homes in Vacaville and Fairfield. Countless livestock also were lost or injured. By the time fire crews from around the western states doused the last of the flames and the state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection declared it under complete control Oct. 2, six people had died and nearly 1,500 homes and other structures were lost. The fire burned 65.625 square miles (42,000 acres) in Solano County. The estimated cost to Solano County is $8.77 million, of which an estimated $6.58 million will be covered by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency and $1.64 million by the state – leaving $548,008 for the county to pick up, the county reported. It was the fifth-largest fire in state history, burning simultaneously with the August Complex Fire that charred more than 1,613.51 square miles (1.03 million acres) in Mendocino, Humboldt, Trinity, Tehama, Glenn, Lake and Colusa counties – the largest fire in California history. The third-largest fire, the SCU Lightning Complex Fire, at nearly 619.73 square miles (396,624 acres), also started in August as did the Creek Fire, which became the fourth-largest fire in the state’s history at nearly 590.15 square miles (377,693 acres).
Six of the state’s 20 biggest fires burned in 2020, the most devastating wildfire season of all time. As many as 50 fires were burning when the LNU blaze had reached Solano, leaving the county fire departments to battle the fire on their own for the first day. Cal Fire had no resources to send. But attempts to fight the fire in the earliest hours quickly became little more than an evacuation drill. Fire officials – some with nearly four decades of experience – said they had never seen a fire behave as this one did in Solano. One fire chief described it as a 40-foot wall of flames raging down the hillside at close to 5 mph. Days of rescue and damage assessment eventually evolved into a recovery effort, which will
continue into the new year as property owners clean up and prepare to rebuild. Others have already abandoned any hope of starting over. The fire re-ignited county efforts to consolidate rural fire districts with the hopes of creating some administrative and operational efficiencies, but no one is saying that will prevent another wildfire from blackening the high-risk areas of the county and threatening the urban centers. For that, officials have said, some kind of new funding mechanism will be needed to strengthen the firefighting capacity of the county. Before that can happen, those same officials have said, a plan will need to be developed to show the county residents

That plan will have to include an improved, likely layered alert system to give residents more time to react to the threat. If ever the motivation to support a new tax is at its peak, and despite the economic pains of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is now when the memory of the look, smell and, yes,
anger of the LNU event remains fresh. And to show how quickly these disasters can fade, just 10 weeks before the LNU blaze, the Quail Fire burned 2.87 square miles (1,837 acres) southwest of Winters and north of Vacaville, destroying three structures including one home. It started June 6 and was extinguished June 10.

Sharks set to start training camp – in Scottsdale Tribune Content Agency Erik Karlsson described what his daily routine will be like once the San Jose Sharks’ training camp in Arizona gets fully underway. Karlsson will get up, and like everyone else on the Sharks’ roster, go for his daily Covid-19 test and have breakfast at the team hotel. The Sharks will then get changed into their hockey gear at the hotel and be driven to the nearby rink before they
begin practice. After practice, they’ll come back their hotel and shower in their own rooms. “After that, I haven’t really figured that out yet because it’s only 12:45 (p.m.) here,” Karlsson said. “So we’ll see what the rest of the day gives us.” The next two weeks will no doubt be an adjustment for just about everybody, as the Sharks prepare to start camp at the Ice Den in Scottsdale, hundreds of miles away from Solar4America Ice in San Jose.
The Sharks were forced to relocate after Santa Clara County’s contact sports ban was extended into January. The experience of being away from loved ones for an extended period of time – longer than the average road trip, anyway – is a new one for most of the Sharks, who were not part of the NHL’s Return to Play earlier this year. The exceptions include Ryan Donato, Devan Dubnyk, Matt Nieto and Patrick Marleau, who were
all on playoff teams and inside designated bubbles in either Edmonton or Toronto. “Obviously it’s different,” Sharks captain Logan Couture said. “We’re going to be limited to what we can do and how much time we can spend around each other. But still, being on the road, distractions are kind of on the side, we can just focus on hockey here. I’m looking forward to it.” The Sharks will hold nine practices and two scrimmages over the
next 13 days – with two off days mixed in – before their Jan. 14 regular season opener against the Arizona Coyotes. Jerseys, sticks, helmets and pads for 40 players – and every other piece of hardware the Sharks felt they needed – was loaded onto moving trucks and transported to Scottsdale last week. The Sharks will utilize a ballroom inside the hotel they’re staying at for meetings and team meals. “Instead of guys just
leaving and going home for the day, they have a lot of dead time as well in the afternoons,” Sharks coach Bob Boughner said. “We’re trying to come up with some ideas to keep these guys busy, but for the most part, it doesn’t change what I do on the ice. “We’re going to be doing a lot of our work as a coaching staff (at the hotel) and basically just going to the rink to put the skates on, getting on the ice See Sharks, Page B9

Championship at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, Dec. 20, 2020.
Paul Sullivan
Brady said. Sports finally were back, and we all gave a sigh of relief.
2020 was grind for us all – but it still had its moments CHICAGO TRIBUNE
I
n a year in which the sports world shut down and we were forced to watch “Tiger King,” there still was plenty to talk about in 2020. In a lot of ways, it was business as usual. LeBron James eventually got another ring. Alabama and Clemson headed back to the College Football Playoff. Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred was booed at the World Series. And Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield appeared in every other TV commercial. But it also was the year of Covid-19 outbreaks, postponed and canceled games, ratings drops and athletes protesting racial injustice. Major events such as the Masters and Indianapolis 500 took place in different seasons, and the hyphenated term that best defined the sports year was the ubiquitous “opt-out.” If you’re a dyed-inthe-wool fan, chances are you stuck around for most, if not all, of your favorite sports, even if you couldn’t watch games in person. So congratulations are in order to you for surviving 2020, the year we’ll never forget even if we wanted. As we march into 2021 with hopes of better days ahead, here are some of the people and moments that made this sports year one to remember.
ANALYSIS MOST INSPIRATIONAL COMEBACK Washington quarterback Alex Smith underwent 17 surgeries after suffering a severe compound fracture of his right tibia and fibula during a 2018 game against the Houston Texans. Doctors initially thought they would have to amputate Smith’s leg, and he incurred an infection that could’ve cost him his life. After a long and grueling rehab, Smith started the year as Washington’s third-string quarterback but eventually became the starter in the second half and led the newly named Washington Football Team back into the hunt for a division title. Smith told “The Today Show” he learned in hindsight “how resilient we are moving forward and how much better off we are because of it.” A lesson of perseverance for all of us. FUNNIEST MOMENT After Orlando Arcia singled in the third inning of the opening game of the restart at Wrigley Field, Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo pulled some hand sanitizer out of his pocket and offered it to the Milwaukee Brewers infielder. Arcia gladly accepted. “We’re playing in unusual circumstances,” Rizzo said afterward, adding he meant no disrespect to the Brewers. None was taken. In a year as stressful as 2020, everyone needed a good laugh. BEST TRASH TALK During “The Match,” a made-forTV charity golf event in May that pitted Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady, TNT analyst Charles Barkley offered a harsh critique of Brady’s rough start. “I’m going to give you some shots, man,” Barkley said, proposing a match against Brady. “I want some of you.” Brady responded with a 125yard wedge shot that landed about 10 feet beyond the hole before spinning back into the cup. “Take a suck of that, Chuck,”
FRESHEST NEW FACE Snoop Dogg delighted the sports world in his role as analyst in the Mike Tyson pay-per-view comeback fight against Roy Jones Jr. But the hands-down winner was Charlie Woods, the 11-year-old son of Tiger Woods, who stole the show after sinking a putt in his debut at the PNC Championship with a fist pump reminiscent of his old man. “It was incredibly special for us to have the opportunity to spend the quality time we had,” Tiger said. “It’s memories we’ll have for our entire lives.” BIGGEST FALL TO EARTH Quite a few of the smuggest sports figures were humbled somewhat in 2020, including Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Houston Astros sign-stealing second baseman Jose Altuve, Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari, Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden and Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski (well, so far). But the most enjoyable plunge to witness has been the downfall of New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, one of the most dour and arrogant personalities in NFL history. MOST VALUABLE TWEETER Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer, a prolific tweeter, was at times self-absorbed, bullying and hilarious. He took on everyone from Manfred to fans, making him a must-follow whether you liked him or not. Bauer backed up the bold talk by winning the National League Cy Young Award. Any team that signs the free agent will get a two-for-one deal: a bona fide ace and a season full of potential PR headaches. WORST FABRICATION During the first presidential debate with Joe Biden in late September, President Donald Trump threw out this whopper: “By the way, I brought back Big Ten football. It was me, and I’m very happy to do it, and the people of Ohio are very proud of me.”
Big Ten honchos promptly shot down that notion. “President Trump had nothing to do with our decision and did not impact the deliberations,” an unnamed Big Ten president told a Columbus, Ohio, TV station. “In fact, when his name came up, it was a negative because no one wanted this to be political.” BEST GAME The Baltimore Ravens’ 47-42 win over the Cleveland Browns on “Monday Night Football” on Dec. 14 had just about everything you could ask for in a sporting event, including a fourth-quarter return by Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who left with what was termed “cramps” in his arm. A video of Jackson’s strained jog to the clubhouse sparked rumors the real reason for his exit was related to a dicey digestive system. “I was cramping, I didn’t pull a Paul Pierce,” Jackson protested. Pierce famously left Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals in a wheelchair only to return later with no apparent injury, and 11 years later he finally admitted he had to go to the bathroom. WORST ROLE MODELS New White Sox manager Tony La Russa had a second DUI arrest last February in Phoenix that was reduced to a reckless driving charge in December, while Patriots receiver Julian Edelman was arrested in January in Beverly Hills for jumping on the hood of a car and damaging it. But in the year of the pandemic, the title of worst role model has to be a tie between Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner and Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert. Turner came back on the field to celebrate winning the World Series after being removed from the game for testing positive for Covid-19. Gobert mocked the seriousness of the virus by jokingly touching reporters’ phones and recorders after a news conference. Gobert later tested positive, the straw that shut down the NBA season and, in turn, the entire sports world.

he 49ers felt your 2020 pain, from their Super Bowl collapse to this season’s injury-plagued encore that mercifully ends Sunday against Seattle. “It wasn’t fun,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “It’s not what we or our fans wanted. “But I believe the way we went through it, if you go through things the right way, I think it hardens you and makes you stronger and makes you better.” There’s no making it back to the playoffs, however, not after a late-season slide that accompanied their eviction from Santa Clara County because of Covid-19 restrictions. At least we can offer the 49ers these year-end, consolation prizes:
Defensive backer Fred
MVP: LineWarner. He
celebrated his first Pro Bowl with an all-encompassing show last game (14 tackles, fourth-down pass breakup, fumble forced/ recovered). Time now for “All-Pro Fred” to get a Well-Paid Fred extension. Offensive MVP: Left tackle Trent Williams. Traded from Washington after missing 2019 in a cancer battle, Williams earned his eighth Pro Bowl and aptly replaced the retired Joe Staley. Other contenders: George Kittle, Kyle Juszczyk, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jeff Wilson. Offensive overachiever: Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. His 12-game rookie season goes down among the top-five in 49ers rookie history (60 catches, 748 yards, seven overall touchdowns). A high ankle sprain will keep him out of Sunday’s finale. Defensive overachiever: Defensive end Kerry Hyder Jr. Who figured this bargain free agent ($1.5 million) would deliver a career-high 8 1/2 sacks so far, helping cover the early exits of injured stars Nick Bosa and Dee Ford?

aiders coach Jon Gruden had no interest in participating in a post-mortem before the body was cold. Not with another game on the schedule and the Raiders having a chance to get to 8-8 with the pyrrhic victory of improving from a 7-9 finish a year ago. Yet the reality is the Raiders again tantalized their fans with the possibility of a postseason and instead they’re on the outside looking in for 17th time in the last 18 years. “Statistics are what they are,” Gruden said. “You can read about it and everybody’s going to have their own opinion, but we made some real
ANALYSIS strides in some areas and we’ve not made strides in others. It’s real obvious and we’ll address that at the end of the season.” The end of the season is Sunday in Denver against the Broncos (5-10), with the bright spot being road games are where the Raiders have done their best work with a 5-2 record as opposed to 2-6 at Allegiant Stadium. No sense in waiting to hand out some awards in 2020:
Most Valuable Player: Quarterback Derek Carr. Even before the season began, speculation remained that Carr was playing for his job in 2020 and could even be beaten out by Marcus Mariota. He responded with his best year. Not many quarterbacks outplay

Best win: 26-23 at the L.A. Rams, Nov. 29: Robbie Gould won it with a 42-yard field goal as time expired, snapping the 49ers’ threegame skid and sweeping the season series. Easiest win: 33-6 at the New England Patriots, Oct. 25. Jimmy Garoppolo’s victorious return to New England return came with Jeff Wilson’s touchdown hat trick. A swarming defense got Cam Newton benched. And the Niners’ record climbed to 4-3, their final time above .500. Worst win: 31-13 at the New York Jets, Sept. 20. They lost Bosa and Solomon Thomas to seasonending knee injuries in a three-play span, and the MetLife Stadium turf also took out Garoppolo (ankle), Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knne). Worst player loss: Bosa. The NFL’s reigning defensive rookie of the year tore his ACL on a Jets rushing play, by 49ers all-time rushing king Frank Gore. Worst game loss: Pick ‘em, from their four Levi’s Stadium embarrassments, against the Arizona Cardinals (Week 1 choke), the Philadelphia Eagles (winning QB: Carson Wentz), the Miami Dolphins (poor cornerback Brian Allen) or Green Bay Packers (NFC Championship Game revenge). Best offensive play: Aiyuk made quite a prime-time debut in Week 4, hurdling an Eagles defender on a 38-yard touchdown run down the sideline. Best defensive play: It wasn’t a sack or a fumble but rather an endzone interception. Make that two of them, in rare wins: Jason Verrett’s at home Oct. 18 against the Rams, then Ahkello Witherspoon’s Saturday against the Cardinals. Honorable mention: Javon Kinlaw pick-six at the Rams.
MOST AMAZING STREAK Super middleweight Edgar Berlanga extended his streak to 16 consecutive first-round knockouts this month in a bout with Ulises Sierra in Las Vegas. The 23-year-old Puerto Rican boxer is 16-0 and has yet to allow an opponent to reach the second round. Promoter Bob Arum tweeted Berlanga is “the greatest
power-punching phenomenon I’ve seen since the heyday of a young Mike Tyson.” The New York Jets’ 0-13 streak was a close second to Berlanga’s knockout run. DUMBEST DECISION Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash united the nation by removing starter Blake Snell from Game 6 of the World Series despite a 1-0 lead and Snell throwing a one-hit shutout.
easy to take for granted him as a blocker, receiver, short-yardage rusher and six-touchdown scorer. Ward, the longest-tenured 49er in Year 7, is their third-leading tackler, and he forced two fumbles in their win at the Rams. Key tell: The 49ers’ are 0-8 when trailing at halftime. Biggest letdown: Tight end Jordan Reed. He has just 231 receiving yards on a career-low 26 catches, even with Kittle out half the season. Others: wide receiver Trent Taylor (10 catches, 21 targets), defensive end Arik Armstead (3 1/2 sacks) and linebacker Kwon Alexander (traded to the Saints). Center-pieces: Daniel Brunskill shifted from right guard at midseason to become their sixth center. The conga line: Weston Richburg (did not play; knee, biceps), Ben Garland (Week 6 calf injury), Jake Brendel (Covid-19 opt out), Spencer Long (retired three days after signing), Hroniss Grasu (Week 1 starter), and, Brunskill. Offseason voids: The 49ers insisted they’d keep their NFC Championship core together, but there’s no mistaking they lost star power and veteran leadership with the spring exits of Joe Staley (retired), DeForest Buckner (traded) and Emmanuel Sanders (signed with the Saints). Smarter trades: As harsh as it was to deal Buckner, the 49ers wisely traded away four players this year who’d fallen out of coaches’ favor or down the depth chart: Marquise Goodwin, Matt Breida, Dante Pettis and Kwon Alexander. Their best trade: Acquiring Williams for a 2020 fifth-round pick and 2021 third-rounder. Most surprising play: As the 49ers headed to Los Angeles to face the Rams, Santa Clara County health officials sprung it on the general public that contact sports (see: football) would be banned in
December. Logistical chaos ensued, terse words were exchanged. Most ominous sign: Wide receiver Jalen Hurd, on the second day of camp, sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament, running on the side with a trainer. That delayed Hurd’s 49ers debut a second straight season. Injured Reserve count: They’ve made 28 IR moves since camp, plus four players from the practice squad. Non-IR players already ruled out of the finale: Samuel, Aiyuk, Williams, Richard Sherman and Jordan Willis. Two other injured players (Richburg, Ronald Blair) never got activated, and three others took the Covid opt-out route before camp. Covid-19 count: They’ve had 23 players go on the NFL’s Covid-19 reserve list, including two stints by Aiyuk, Williams, Grasu and Kendrick Bourne. None were out longer than two weeks; not all tested positive and it’s unknown how many did. Crowd count: Only two games had fans (30,000 at Dallas, 6,000 at New Orleans). Santa Clara County banned fans at Levi’s Stadium, then the 49ers got locked out because of Covid-19 restrictions. (Family members have been able to attend games in Arizona.) From A to Z: Kiko Alonso (knee) never played after being acquired in the Kwon Alexander trade, and Ziggy Ansah saw just 34 snaps before tearing his biceps in his second game since replacing Bosa and Ford. Record roster: You weren’t alone if you didn’t know all of the franchise-record 80 players who appeared in at least one game. “We’ve had some guys that I didn’t know much during the week,” Shanahan said, “and then they ended up getting dressed (for games), and I ended up making sure I introduce myself before they go out to the field.”
Raiders: Waller has caught 98 passes From Page B1 and beat Drew Brees and Patrick Mahomes in the same season. Carr guided the Raiders to 12-4 in 2016, but he was a better all-round quarterback and more in command of the offense in 2020. He’s the least of their problems. Offensive Player of the Year: Tight end Darren Waller. He’s been good all season, but has closed with a flourish down the stretch at the same time where his team fell on hard times. With 98 receptions for 1,079 yards, he’s seven catches from breaking Tim Brown’s record for the most receptions in a single season. Josh Jacobs, the Raiders’ second Pro Bowler, is the runner-up with 976 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns although the yards have come with more difficulty at 3.8 yards per carry. Defensive Player of the Year: Vacant. It’s been such a monumental letdown on the defense it would ring hollow to single out anyone as being a standout. Biggest win: A 40-32 win over the Kansas City Chiefs and Mahomes at Arrowhead Stadium on Nov. 22 prompted a Raiders victory lap and deservedly so considering the venue has been their house of pain ever since Andy Reid took over as head coach. It’s still the only game the Chiefs have lost in more than a calendar year. Easiest win: The Raiders defense had a field day with five takeaways against the Denver Broncos in 37-12 win at Allegiant Stadium, one of only two home victories all season. Toughest loss: The Raiders were already essentially out of the playoff picture so there’s some recency bias, but how do you painstakingly set things up for the gamewinning field goal, make the Miami Dolphins use all their time outs and allow them to get the points with 19 seconds remaining? Being outclassed 44-27 by the Indianapolis Colts at home in a “show me” moment as far as being a contender is a close second. It led to the dismissal of defensive coordinator Paul Guenther. Best offensive play: Yes, it was the winless (at the time) New York Jets, but Carr calling the correct protection to beat a zero blitz and finding an alley to throw a 46-yard game-winning touchdown strike to rookie Henry Ruggs III with six seconds remaining was a miraculous bit of theater that would be hard to top.
2020: Had its moments From Page B1
Quarterback theme: Of the team’s 30 turnovers (second-most in the NFL), 23 have come from their quarterbacks, including Nick Mullens (12 interceptions, four fumbles), Garoppolo (five interceptions) and Beathard (two fumbles). Bonus theme: Shanahan went to his QB bullpen in 5 of 15 games, so far. Most common injury: High ankle sprains. That forced Garoppolo out against the Jets, the Dolphins, and, finally, the Seahawks on Nov. 2. Others with high ankle sprains: Aiyuk, Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson, K’Waun Williams and Jordan Willis. Quote of the year: “Now I’m taken care of and my family is taken care of. I don’t have to worry about money or anything else. And I can just go play football. And run through someone’s face. And I’m really excited about that.” — Tight end George Kittle on Aug. 15, after securing a five-year, $75 million extension. Comeback player of year: Verrett. He was as feisty and reliable as his 2015 Pro Bowl year. He’s started 12 games, after leg injuries limited him to six games combined from 2016-19. Offensive stock drop: Right tackle Mike McGlinchey, as a pass protector. His timely gaffes led to several turnovers. His run-blocking prowess, however, reinforces his solid job security as they lock him in the weight room this offseason. Defensive stock drop: Defensive end Dee Ford. He didn’t play after reporting neck and back pain from the opener. He also missed five games last year to injury, had one sack in their playoff run, and it’s highly doubtful he returns (2021 salary: $15 million). Most overlooked: Fullback Kyle Juszczyk and safety Jimmie Ward. OK, so Juszczyk made another Pro Bowl but it’s
No one agreed much on anything in 2020, but almost everyone agreed Cash made a very poor decision. The move backfired, the Rays lost the game and the World Series, and two months later the move hasn’t gotten any easier to swallow. “I did grind on (the decision in the offseason),” Cash said last week. “To some extent, I still am.” Indeed, the sports world was a grind for all of us this year – and to some extent, it still is.
Best defensive play: With Clelin Ferrell pressuring Mahomes, safety Jeff Heath stepped in front of a pass and returned it 47 yards to the 2-yard line to set up a 2-yard run by Jacobs. It put the Raiders up 40-24 with 5:26 to play and all but wrapped up the Raiders’ signature win of the season.
Rookie of the year/biggest rookie disappointment: Ruggs had 23 receptions for 414 yards and two touchdowns. One of the touchdowns was a 72-yarder against the Chiefs, the other the game-winning against the Jets. But as the No. 12 pick overall in the draft, more was expected. A knee injury as well as a stint on the
Covid-19 list didn’t help matters. All in all, a dreadful year for the Raiders rookie class when factoring in Damon Arnette’s thumb surgery, two concussions and role in the Miami demise. Then there was the third-round washout with the trade of running back Lynn Bowden Jr. to

Bialik headlines another sitcom Chuck Barney East Bay Times
D
on’t miss: “Call Me Kat.” After being a key part of “The Big Bang Theory” ensemble, Mayim Bialik gets another chance to headline her own sitcom. She plays a cafe owner in Louisville, Kentucky, who is determined to prove to society – and her mother – that she can live a happy and fulfilling life, despite still being single at 39. Although Kat celebrates her independence, her single-forever plans just might begin to veer off course when her former crush and good friend, Max (Cheyenne Jackson), returns to town. “Call Me Kat” is based on the BBC UK series “Miranda.” The show moves to its regular Thursday time slot on Jan. 7. (8 p.m. Sunday, Fox).
Other bets Sunday: Prepare to bid farewell to Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing.” The show’s ninth and final season begins with a series of time jumps that find Mike and Vanessa sharing their home with Mandy and Kyle, along with two new grandchildren. (8:30 p.m., Fox). Sunday: As Season 3 of “The Rookie” unfolds, Nolan (Nathan Fillion) nears the end of his police training and now must come to terms with the choices he has made in pursuit of the truth. (10 p.m., ABC). Monday: It took 25 seasons and plenty of critical outcry, but “The Bachelor” finally has its first Black leading man. Tonight, Matt James welcomes 32 lovestarved women as another run for the roses begins. (8 p.m., ABC). Tuesday: Season 2 of the endearing “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” picks up six weeks after the show’s emotional Season 1 finale. Zoey (Jane Levy) and the Clarke family begin to navigate their new normal as her musical

powers continue to complicate – and inform – her worldview. (8 p.m., NBC). Wednesday: TV’s fascination with reboots continues with a newlook version of the musical game show “Name That Tune.” Jane Krakowski hosts and Randy Jackson serves as band leader. (9 p.m., Fox). Wednesday: The new nonfiction series “Nature Gone Wild” follows backcountry explorer Greg Aiello as he highlights and analyzes jaw-dropping footage of unbelievable occurrences in nature. Included: outrageous viral videos of everything from animal attacks to natural disasters and more. (10 p.m., A&E). Thursday: Ted Danson never seems to be out of work for long. Tonight he returns to prime time in the new sitcom “Mr. Mayor.” He plays a retired businessman who runs for mayor of Los Angeles to prove he’s “still got it.” But after winning, he must figure out what he really stands for. Holly Hunter also stars. (8 p.m., NBC). Thursday: If TV talent competitions are just too tame for you, the “Go-Big Show” might be your go-to option. It promises to deliver “the most dangerous and spectacular talent acts in the world.” Please, just don’t try this stuff at home. (9 p.m., TBS). Friday: The offbeat comedy “Dickinson” returns to continue the contemporary retelling of poet Emily Dickinson’s life. In Season 2, Emily (Hailee Steinfeld) struggles with fame as she is pulled from her private literary life and thrust into the public eye. (Apple TV+). Saturday: Pete Davidson delivers a soulful performance in “The King of Staten Island.” The film follows an aimless high school dropout who struggles to get his life together after his mother starts dating a new man. (8 p.m., HBO).

Best music of 2020: Album of the year, artist of the year, more
DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, January 1, 2021 B5
Crossword
Scott Mervis
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A
s far as live music goes, it had to be the worst year since the invention of the electric guitar, right? Stuck at home, artists were left with more time to write and record, so, combined with recordings that were in the can before the pandemic, it was a surprisingly plentiful year for new music. Let’s get to it: Album of the Year: “I am duty-bound to be here to simply say: That it is your duty not to burn your own house down for anger with an enemy.” That was Killer Mike, in Atlanta, at a mayoral news conference in May addressing protesters in one of the year’s most impassioned speeches. Just a few days later, he and El-P dropped a mega-truth bomb on 2020 with “RTJ4,” a fourth album from Run the Jewels that provided a soundtrack to the chaos already breaking out on the streets. The intensity never lapses on “RTJ4,” which samples Gang of Four, blends Mavis Staples and Josh Homme (!) and unleashes 2 Chainz while weighing in on all that plagued us in 2020. Was there a song title that summed up the year better than “holy calamaf---”? Artist of the Year: Well aware that her fans were struggling with the pain or boredom of the pandemic, Taylor Swift gifted them with not one but two surprise albums, “Folklore” (July) and “Evermore” (December), that rank among her best. The follow-ups to her playfully poppy “Lover” found her working with Aaron Dessner, of The National, who put his indie-rock band’s soothing, melancholy tone and texture on these sister albums filled with some of her most reflective and thoughtful songs. Song event of the year: While everyone was all about masks and social distancing, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion told us to bring “a bucket and a mop” in a contender for the most audacious sex single of all time. We can’t even talk about the content here. The accompanying video for “WAP” was high-style eye candy, whether you love boobs, butts, leopards or snakes. The 313 million views on YouTube indicate people do in fact like those things. Less sexy but almost as entertaining was the Ben Shapiro remix he had no idea he was walking into. Best country/Americana album: Aubrie Sellers, daughter of Lee Ann Womack and stepdaughter of producer Frank Liddell, casts a spell on “Far From Home,” a “garagecountry” record that, somewhat like the Eels, allows for disruptive guitar work, from shimmering to grungy. It’s “a
Daily Cryptoquotes
Daniel DeSlover/Zuma Press/TNS file (2017)
Michael Render (Killer Mike) and Jaime Meline (EL-P) of Run The Jewels at the Orpheum Theater , Feb. 15, 2017 in Madison, Wisconsin. beautiful collision” with her angelic voice floating above the clatter, including a gritty duet with Steve Earle on the defiant rocker “My Love Will Not Change.” Best metal album: There’s no one-size-fits-all in metal, so allow me to do three. My favorite came from Bristol, U.K., band Svalbard, who toil in the post-metal, post-hardcore, blackgaze genre popularized by Deafheaven. On third album “When I Die, Will I Get Better?” Svalbard creates a titanic roar with shoegaze guitars that grind and swirl, hyperdriven beats and a blend of screaming and pure, pretty vocals (for relief) from Liam Phelan and Serena Cherry, the self-described “Minnie Mouse of Metal.” The lyrics, centered around her battles with depression (“I see you all/ beyond this pain/but I remain trapped/with the monsters in my brain”), manage to push through the noise. Tied for second are two Pittsburgh bands — one heralded and one that is more our little secret. The former is Code Orange, who, on the week of the shutdown, continued the hurt with “Unearthed,” another daring, boundary-busting foray in the realms of metal, hardcore, industrial, indie and EDM. This turbulent follow-up to “Forever” came with a concept about the dangers of losing yourself in technology. Those you prefer driving old-school metal can do no better than the Deb Levine-led Lady Beast, who continued to rock in the British Steel tradition of Judas Priest on fourth album “The Vulture’s Amulet.” Best indie-rock album: Much like the Code Orange, but in a different way, “Fetch the Bolt Cutters” will leave you rattled and exhausted by the time Fiona Apple crashes it to a halt at 51:49. Taken from the TV show “The Fall,” the title refers to a violent freeing from restraints and constrictions, much in contrast to the reality of 2020. Apple unleashes her imagination and exorcises demons on this frenetic, stream-of-consciousness-fueled
ride that knocks us around with unexpected bursts of noise and percussion. Best punk rock song: The first voice you hear on the new Anti-Flag album is that of Donald Trump, over contorted guitar feedback, declaring, “In the good ol days this doesn’t happen, because they used to treat them very, very rough.” The authoritarian comment about protesters clearly lit a fire under Anti-Flag, who come out blazing on new album “20/20 Vision” with “Hate Conquers All,” a political punk-rock anthem meant not for clubs but massive soccer stadiums. Best album from out of the blue: Neil Young was so fertile in 1975 that “Homegrown” was shelved in favor of something else he had lying around: the brilliant “Tonight’s the Night.” In 2020, we finally heard “the one that got away.” Written in part about a difficult split with actress girlfriend Carrie Snodgress, “Homegrown” has its raw, tender points (“Separate Ways,” “Star of Bethlehem”), but the album also has its rough and rowdy ways, with the jubilant stoner title track and the jealous blues rocker “Vacancy.” Best of the legends: Can you imagine being told in the early ‘60s that your grandchildren, maybe even your great-great grandchildren, would be able to experience new albums by Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney in 2020? What’s even crazier is how good they were. Dylan’s 39th album, “Rough and Rowdy Ways,” was preceded by a beguiling 17-minute single, “Murder Most Foul,” that arrived to delight and confuse us just two weeks into the quarantine. As for the 70-minute album, it’s one of his most wordy, rambling, cantankerous and playfully humorous. “McCartney III,” coming 40 years after “McCartney II,” is so named for its similarly shacked-up DIY home recording method. Macca, sounding remarkably like his old Beatles self, whips up a mix of rockers, lullabies and experimental oddities that reveal the spark still here.

hearts. West leads a spade. East takes the trick and shifts to the club eight. What clue should South spot? When East opens four spades, it could be best for South to pass. However, with two five-card suits, it would be cautious not to enter the auction – but how? Usually, South would make a Michaels Cue-Bid to show at least 5-5 in hearts and a minor. But here that would drive the auction to the six-level. So South intervenes with four no-trump, which shows at least 5-5 in two of the three unbid suits (not just the minors). North will wonder about a slam, but he knows that his partner might have bid under pressure, and suits will tend to break badly. He bids five diamonds, then passes when South rebids five hearts to show the rounded suits. (Yes, North might advance with five hearts, willing to get to six diamonds if partner has the minors.)

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.

From Page B1
Raiders: Littleton disappointing at LB From Page B2 Miami, wide receiver Bryan Edwards getting hurt and doing little to contribute and a year-long stint on the disabled list for linebacker Tanner Muse. Best free agent acquisition: Wide receiver Nelson Agholor was drummed out of Philadelphia for a spate of dropped passes but has 47 passes for 839 yards and eight touchdowns. At a veteran’s minimum wage, no less. Honorable mentions to running back Devontae Booker 407 yards rushing and also a minimum wage player, and linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, who in between an early pectoral strain and a late Covid-19 experience was fairly solid on a poor defense. Most disappointing free agent acquisition: Linebacker Cory

Center Rodney Hudson remains the anchor of a Raiders offensive line that has pass protected well all season. Littleton signed a three-year contract worth a maximum of nearly $36 million and was supposed to give the Raiders the kind of sideline-to-sideline linebacker who could cover receivers out of the backfield. Littleton has never looked completely comfortable and it will be up to the 2021 defensive coordinator to get him straightened

out. Same goes for defensive end Carl Nassib ($17 million guaranteed) who was such a non-factor he was a healthy scratch twice. Steady as she goes award: Center Rodney Hudson remains the anchor of a Raiders offensive line that has pass protected well all season and through 10 games was one of the NFL’s best run-blocking units through games. What happened to that running game afterward is something that Gruden and line coach Tom Cable will have to sort out in the offseason. Hudson remains above reproach in all areas, in terms of performance, preparation and leadership. Line of demcarcation award: Less than two minutes from a season-sweep of the Chiefs and a 7-3 record, the Raiders somehow neglected to cover Travis Kelce

– Mahomes’ favorite receiver – and he caught a 22-yard touchdown pass with 28 seconds to play. The Chiefs won 35-31. The following week, the Raiders lost 43-6 to the Atlanta Falcons in a game strikingly similar to the 2019 season’s 34-3 loss to the New York Jets and the big fade was on. Can’t help the club in the tub award: Right tackle Trent Brown had zero luck, reporting with a pectoral injury that pretty much kept him out of training camp and then getting hurt three plays into the season. Brown was a force in the win over the Chiefs, then vanished again, a victim of the coronavirus, and a medical issue related to the virus left him hospitalized in Cleveland. In the second-year of a mega-deal which paid Brown $21 million in 2020, the Raiders have had him on the field for five games.

and coming right back to the hotel.� For now, the Sharks say their focus is maximizing the time they have available in camp to help avoid the slow start they had at the beginning of last season. “I thought the veterans were probably guilty of trying to ease their way into camp (last year), feel their way around and start trying to press the on switch when it comes to the first game of the season, and it just doesn’t work that way,� Boughner said. “I stressed (Wednesday) night the importance of making sure that (we’re ready) day one when we get on that ice.� The Sharks took their physicals Thursday and will be on the ice as a team for the first time in nine months Friday. Everyone will be available to practice, Boughner said, except for forward Alexander True, who had a
lower body injury while training in Denmark and is considered day-to-day. Keeping everyone available throughout camp in the midst of a pandemic will be one of the Sharks’ biggest challenges. Players who test positive for the coronavirus and exhibit symptoms will be required to isolate until medical clearance is obtained. Contract tracing would begin immediately. Players who test positive but are asymptomatic will be isolated and with contact tracing starting immediately. A test to confirm will be conducted 24 hours later and if that test is negative, a second test will be conducted the following day. If that next test is negative, a third confirmatory test will be conducted after another 24 hours. If any of those tests are positive, the player will remain isolated and contact tracing will continue.
