FAIRFIELD — NorthBay Healthcare officials administered 1,170 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine over a three-day clinic that started Saturday. NorthBay used the conference center in Green Valley for the clinic for Primary Care patients who were 65 or older. “We are contacting our patients through the NorthBay portal, email and text messages. For those who don’t have an email or cellphone, we are calling directly,” Aimee Brewer, president of the NorthBay Healthcare Group, said. “We understand the 75-plus population is less likely to use electronic channels – email and text messaging – so we are making phone calls to the older patients to schedule them as well.” The work is anything but over. “It will take some time to complete the two-dose process for those in the 65-and-older group,” said Damaris Valera, assistant vice president of Primary Care. “We have thousands of patients over 65 and are working as quickly

WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration will look like no other thanks to a once-in-a-century pandemic, security fears triggered by the worst raid on the U.S. Capitol since 1814 and a boycott by the sitting U.S. president. There won’t be the usual 200,000 special guests watching on packed grandstands at the Capitol, with hundreds of thousands more flag-waving Americans filling the National Mall to bear witness. Rather, 12-foot fences topped with razor wire encircle a Capitol grounds being guarded by 25,000 National Guard troops in preparation for a potential second attack. The National Mall is largely off-limits to vehicles and pedestrians, and 200,000 American flags have been planted in memory of the nearly 400,000 Americans who have died from the

novel coronavirus. Huge swaths of downtown Washington have been barricaded and are restricted to residents only. Only about 1,000 members of Congress, governors and their guests – all tested for Covid-19 in the days before being admitted – will be physically present to watch Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris take the oath of office on the West Front of the Capitol. Some elected leaders grappling with the rampaging spread of Covid back home, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, will not attend. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., stressed that the smaller crowd is result of the pandemic, not the Jan. 6 attack. “This was always going to be small. Now with the insurrection . . . it is necessitated by security to have more security. But it hasn’t changed the nature of the swearing‑in.

The county Public Health Division reported one additional death attributed at least in part to Covid-19 to take the total to 106, and Fairfield – with 298 new Matyas cases – eclipsed the 7,000-case mark at 7,211. “If this is real, we are off the peak,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said about the lower daily average in

a phone interview. He said he will have a better idea at the end of the week, but there is still a waiting period before weekend cases start to show up. “I just don’t want to overread what we are seeing,” Matyas said. The new death was a man in his 80s who was getting hospice-level care at home.

Biden sets sights on immigration overhaul on 1st day Tribune Content Agency

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden will propose a broad immigration overhaul on his first day as president, including a shortened pathway to U.S. citizenship for undocumented migrants – a complete reversal from Donald Trump’s immigration restrictions and crackdowns, but one that faces major roadblocks in Congress. The new president’s legislation would allow the roughly 11 million immigrants living illegally in the U.S. to gain citizenship within eight years instead of 13, according to a Biden tran-

sition official. Unlike past reform measures, it does not include an explicit trade-off of enhanced border security. The proposal would grant work permits for the spouses and children of people with temporary visas. But it would not expand the number of high-skilled foreign workers admitted on H-1B visas, which are widely used in the U.S. technology industry but sometimes criticized by labor groups. With the plan, Biden seeks to deliver on a major campaign promise to Latino voters and

soul that day. I wish I could say my little boy’s words changed me instantly. But I’ve always been a work in progress. I still see danger if I look for it. But I began that day to make a conscious effort to keep my eyes open wide to everything in life – not just danger and suffering, but beauty and grace and peace and joy. To fear less and trust more. To laugh more and worry less. To expect the best and leave the rest to God. For months, I’ve been praying for rain. After a summer with nonstop wildfires, Lord knows we need it.

Yesterday my friend, Martha, who lives next door to my sister in South Carolina, called to say Bobbie had a bad fall that may have been caused by a stroke, but didn’t go to the hospital. My sister is a retired ICU nurse. She hates hospitals. I called her right away. “Hey, Sissy!” she said, “I was just thinking about you!” “Martha told me you fell and I can hear that you are slurring your words. Will you call 911 or do you want me to do it?” “OK,” she said, “I’ll call.” She ended up in ICU after it was confirmed she’d indeed had a stroke. When I phoned her today, her speech seemed to have worsened. She sounded like our daddy, after he suffered a stroke that nearly killed him. Suddenly I saw danger all around my sister. The threat of another stroke. The risk of getting Covid. The thought of

being on her own without me. The last time Bobbie had a stroke, years ago, I took the first flight I could get to be with her in the hospital. Then I brought her home and took care of her until she was back on her feet. This time, I felt so helpless. “I wish I was there,” I said. “Don’t even think about it, Sissy,” she said. “I want you to stay home and be safe. You’re my best friend in this world. I don’t want to lose you.” I needed to see the beauty in those words, to let them quiet my fears and give me peace. So for a moment, I didn’t speak. I just listened to Bobbie breathe. “Sissy? Are you there?” “Yes,” I said. “Always.” Sharon Randall is the author of “The World and Then Some.” She can be reached at P.O. Box 922, Carmel Valley, CA 93924 or at www.sharonrandall.com.

Protesters vandalize Park rally, virtual events recall Vaca police station, MLK, honor King’s legacy City Hall, private cars Todd R. Hansen

VACAVILLE — A peaceful demonstration Sunday evening in Vacaville turned destructive as windows and doors at the police station and at City Hall were broken. Windows of two private cars, which were occupied at the time, also were smashed, the Vacaville Police Department reported in a statement. City officials said that there have been demonstrations nearly every Sunday for some time, but that this is the first time there was “any significant damage” caused. The damage has been estimated at between $20,000 and $30,000, the city reported Monday. The city also released several videos. There have been reports of other encounters with people during these and other events, but city spokesman Kris Concepcion could not confirm any details, only that he had heard about some of the same reports. One man has reported to the Solano County Board of Supervisors on at least two occasions that he had been thrown to the ground, which required him to go to the hospital. That incident could not be confirmed by the Police Department at the time. Graffiti was spraypainted Sunday at various locations along the march route that started at Andrews Park and continued down Merchant Street. That included signs, the downtown bridge and downtown buildings, as well as at City Hall. Some of the graffiti was described by police as “profane” and “threatening” toward the police. “Vacaville respects peaceful protests but what happened Sunday night was unacceptable,” Vacaville police Chief John Carli said in the statement released Sunday night. He added to his statement Monday. “Our number one priority is the safety of our community. The individuals who are responsible will be identified, arrested and prosecuted to the fullest

extent of the law,” he said. “Vacaville will continue to respect peaceful protests, but any actions arising from these protests that threaten the community’s safety will not be tolerated.” The original statement said some of the protesters were carrying “Black Lives Matter” signs. Carli’s statement noted there was a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. event held Monday and started at the same park. What was believed to be a planned march was instead a rally held at the park. Sunday’s demonstration started at about 5:30 p.m. There were an estimated 40 to 50 people involved, the police said. “Police monitored the demonstration. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident,” the police statement said. Solano County sheriff’s deputies also were on the scene. “As demonstrators marched along Merchant Street, witnesses saw some demonstrators spray-painting graffiti on signs and on the downtown bridge. There were similar spray-painted messages on several other buildings in the downtown area,” the police statement said. “Once they arrived at City Hall, some demonstrators continued spray-painting and began breaking multiple windows, as well as a Police Department door. Protesters did not enter City Hall nor the Police Department during the incident. When they left City Hall, demonstrators broke out the windows of two cars with people inside.” Police found an abandoned car with two machetes at Andrews Park. A vehicle associated with the protesters, with helmets found inside, was impounded. No arrests were made. “It’s not that they are not going to arrest people,” Concepcion said in a phone interview Monday, “they are just investigating now and reviewing photos and videos . . . and making sure they get it right.” The police urge anyone with information to call the department.

Push to limit ‘tourist homes’ strengthens Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIR F IELD — An application for an unhosted short-term vacation permit is likely to see strong pushback when the Solano County Planning Commission meets Thursday. A campaign for the county to limit the socalled tourist homes, or even ban them, has been building in recent weeks. The focus right now is on an application for an unhosted vacation rental at 4367 Edinburg Court, located about 1.8 miles northwest of Fairfield. The applicants are Lee Heyman and Amanda Rothstein. “The proposed project involves use of the existing dwelling as a Vacation House Rental – Unhosted,” the staff report to the commission states. “The residence will be advertised for rent for groups of up to 10 people for 30 days or less as allowed (by

county code). But opponents of the applications, and vacation rental homes in general, argue that the homes have become nothing more than investment properties, rather than family dwellings as intended. They argue the county does not have the resources to enforce its own codes and the homes can become unruly “party houses.” Furthermore, opponents argue that the tourist homes are commercial enterprises that should require the same kind of permitting, insurance and other requirements as similar businesses – including where they are allowed to be located. The county planning staff is recommending the commission approve the permit. The commission meets at 7 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors chamber on the first floor of the government center, 675 Texas St., in Fairfield.

VACAVILLE — More than 50 area residents turned out Monday at Andrews Park to celebrate the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It included a group of six children, and others, who recited portions of King’s “I Have a Dream Speech,” which he delivered during what most remember as the March on Washington on Aug. 28, 1963. The full title of the event, however, was a March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Economic justice was a fundamental piece of King’s mission, and was mentioned in a powerful speech given by Edward Russell Jr., who said his dream looks like “freedom,” defining that as a life “without disturbance,” and one of “tranquility.” “There are still people out there who do not want to hear about or share in this dream,” he said. Russell said he wants to live his life without regard to the color of his skin, to enjoy all the privileges without being reminded that they are privileges. King’s legacy also was honored Monday in a couple of local teleconference events. The Fairfield-SuisunVacaville Section of the National Council of Negro Women hosted its 16th Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Celebration. Napa County Superior Court Judge Monique Langhorne, Katherine Kellum, with the Solano County Children’s Mental Health division, and Ramona Bishop, chief executive officer of Elite Public Schools, were the speakers.

Robinson Kuntz/Daily Republic

Children trade places on stage to recite Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration at Andrews Park in Vacaville, Monday. The National Council of Negro Women is a nonprofit organization that provides services to women, children and families in the Fairfield, Suisun City and Vacaville areas. Additionally, Benjamin Edokpayi made a presentation about the legacy of King as part of a virtual Friends of the FairfieldSuisun Libraries program. A common theme among the speakers at the park was urging those in attendance – and around Vacaville – to do more than remember King’s legacy, but to take action to honor it and work toward change. Aisha Gutierrez organized the event because she said there are not enough events that celebrate individuals of color. During her opening speech, she said people of color often feel isolated in Vacaville. She said she is concerned about the safety of her three black sons, and that it was up to the community to make the needed changes. Originally the event was meant to be a March

of Peace from the park into the downtown area, but instead became a rally at the park due to the vandalism that took place during a march Sunday. “It’s said. I hope they arrest those who caused that (damage),” Gutierrez said in an interview. “I think we are beyond that,” she said. “We are in the era of social media when we can get out our messages far and wide.” Vacaville Vice Mayor Nolan Sullivan also made reference the Sunday event, but lauded Gutierrez’s effort to effect change. “It’s so important that we do things in the community on a grassroots level,” Sullivan said. “We had a tough night last night, and when I woke up today (Monday), I didn’t know what we would find in Vacaville.” He also referenced an event a couple of weeks ago when a small group of protesters were attacked by two men, who beat them and sprayed them with some kind of chemical agent.

Sullivan then offered the middle portion of a King quote, that in its entirety reads, “Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.” Dulon Stevens, owner of Fitness Explosion Elite Training in Vacaville, told the gathering that they cannot love others until they love themselves, and condemned the acts of vandalism. “Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love,” said Stevens, citing another King quote. Kings said in Washington, D.C., “So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

FAIRFIELD — The human remains found in the Cement Hill area have been identified as a Hercules man who went missing from the home of a longtime friend on Feb. 3, 2018. Zachary L. Rose had not been seen since his friend told investigators that Rose had stepped outside to smoke a cigarette and disappeared. The friend reported him missing the next day. Rose was 27 at the time of his disappearance, and would have turned 31 in March, the police said. “Our thoughts are with his family, and we hope while there are still many unanswered questions, the discovery of his body brings some closure,” the Police Depart-

ment said in a statement released on Monday. The fully clothed remains were found in a field near Cement Hill and Peabody roads. No other details were released. Police and Office of Emergency Services personnel continually expanded the search area as the days passed after Rose’s disappearance. The Cement Hill are was part of that grid.

During the original stories about the missing person, he was identified as Zachery Rose. The later releases use a different spelling of the first name. The police are also now identifying him as a Fairfield man.

Fairfield extends advanced life support services with Medic Ambulance Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD â€” The City Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution that amends the Public-Private Partnership Agreement with Medic Ambulance Services for delivering advanced life support services. Fire Chief Anthony Velasquez said finalizing the agreement was one of the departmentâ€™s top accomplishments of the current fiscal year. â€œWeâ€™ve been working on this for a couple of years,â€? Velasquez said in a phone interview. Benicia, Dixon, Vallejo and now Suisun City are also part of the agreement.

Medic Ambulance has been an authorized provider of advanced life support services within Solano County since 2000.

VACAVILLE â€” More than 20 tons of household hazardous waste has been removed from 2020 wildfire locations in California. The state Department of Toxic Substances Control reported Tuesday that 3,200 homes and properties were assessed, with the final 100 homesites to be cleared by the end of the month. The totals include 962 parcels in the LNU Lightning Complex Fire zone, which burned in six counties, including Solano, where 499 parcels were cleared. The fire destroyed or damaged 854 structures, including the complete loss of 309 homes and 60 more that sustained major or minor damage locally. The second phase of the cleanup is ongoing. Phase I cleanup, which started in September, involved 18 counties. â€œDespite being faced with the most active wildfire season California has ever seen amid the ongoing pandemic, incred-

Fairfield waives bid Fairfield extends Covid-19 homeless process, approves 3 sheltering plan at BayNorth Church equipment purchases Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Fairfield is getting a new rear-load garbage truck, a replacement chipper truck and a replacement 10-wheel dump truck. The City Council on Tuesday suspended competitive bidding for each purchase. The action was taken as part of the consent agenda without comment. The NorCal Kenworth garbage truck costs $182,357; the NorCal Kenworth chipper truck costs $130,966; and the NorCal Kenworth dump truck costs $186,809. In other action, the City Council: n Approved a $77,556 settlement to employee Corina Rangel. The action was taken in closed session and announced in the public session. The closed session item was listed as anticipated litigation. n Upgraded to the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with SoftwareOne to Azure Active Directory Premium 2 Licensing, and updated the 2020-21 budget to reflect the $78,595.75 cost to the Computer System Fund. The full upgrade cost through the end of the 2021-22 fiscal year is $157,191. n Accepted the completion notice for the Fairfield Traffic Signal Pole Upgrades Project at the intersections of Clay Bank Road and Quail Drive; Travis and Gateway boulevards; Travis Boulevard and Pennsylvania Avenue; and at Manuel Campos Parkway and North Texas Street. The contractor was Mike Brown Electric Co. of Cotati. The cost was $206,652, about 8.5% below budget. n Accepted the completion notice for the Villages at Fairfield Linear Park improvements. Funded by Landscaping and Lighting District No. 14 – Woodlake. The city agreed to pay $15,321 from the general fund into the district fund to help with maintaining arterial median landscaping.

n Reduced the rental agreements with Sports Restaurant of Fairfield Inc. and Sports Restaurant of Rancho Solano Inc., retroactively, due to the golf courses being shut down due to Covid-19 health orders. “This amended agreement will reduce the amount of rent collected for an unspecified period of time, but will not affect or impose additional expenditures to the general fund. Project expenses for the kitchen alteration project will be paid by the Golf Enterprise fund balance,” the city reported. n Approved a development agreement with Rancho Tolenas Corp. to furnish the necessary bonds and documents to the city and enter into an Improvement Agreement with the city for any public improvements at Villages at Fairfield – Village II – Lot 3. Once completed, the city will maintain the water infrastructure improvements. n Adopted two resolutions and committed $1.39 million in federal Transportation Improvement Program grant funding for the Cadenasso Drive Pavement Reconstruction Project. The city is also committing a $159,892 local match from the Streets Capital Fund using gas tax or Measure P funds. n Approved a relocation agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor LLC to relocate one billboard and replace two others with a digital billboard due to the widening of Interstate 80 as part of the I-80/I-680/Highway 12 Interchange Project. The Solano Transportation Authority used eminent domain to acquire the billboards and the easements they occupy. Clear Channel will pay the city $50,000 each year for the first 10 years, with a 12% escalator cost for every five years thereafter. Funds go to the city’s general fund. n Extended the lease agreement with Police Property and Evidence Storage Facilities. The total cost for two suites is $465,446 through Sept. 30, 2025.

FAIRFIELD — The City Council on Tuesday approved an urgency ordinance and then an agreement with BayNorth Church of Christ to continue to operate an emergency homeless shelter, and committed $340,000 from the general fund reserves toward operations. The votes on the ordinance and the agreement were 7-0. Despite the action, speakers from the public said the city is not doing nearly enough and could redirect money that goes toward other things, such as the police storage costs approved during the meeting, to go toward the homeless. The contract extends the city’s Emergency Covid-19 Sheltering Plan, which ended at the start of the new year, through April 30. The church is located at 2100 Pennsylvania Ave. The funding will support

25 individuals per night at a cost of $114 per person, Dawn La Bar, Homeless Services manager, told the council. City Manager Stefan Chatwin said the allocation will not affect any other city service, but to move forward, the city will have to find grants and other sources. There were 21 individuals at the shelter as of Tuesday. That includes a family of five, the Rev. Sam Morris, pastor at BayNorth Church, told the council. Since the cost to the city is actually $19 per person each day for the three meals and snacks, Councilman Chuck Timm wanted to know where the rest of the money goes. The answer: The money goes to case managers and other staff for all the programs offered, as well as site activities, cleaning and other operational costs. The city also pays on a reimbursement basis, so it may not reach $340,000. Councilman Scott Ton-

nesen, at his first meeting, said he was struggling with the $340,000 and wanted to know how the BayNorth shelter compared to Shelter Solano Inc. He was told BayNorth is an emergency shelter, so the stays will not be as long, and because there are more beds, the costs per bed are less at Shelter Solano Inc. BayNorth also has fewer service resources available. However, some of those who go to the church are not ready to go to a program-driven facility such as Shelter Solano Inc., which could be a next-step option for some of those at BayNorth. La Bar said the emergency shelter will give the city a little more time to find a more permanent solution. “We need emergency shelter and we need a navigation center where people can stay for six months and get services,” Vice Mayor Rick Vaccaro said. He has proposed turning Shelter Solano Inc. into a navigation center.

FAIRFIELD — The City Council unanimously approved the annexation of 2.1 acres on the east side of Sunset Avenue, 1.23 acres of which is the site of a proposed 10, 3 4 2- squ a r e -fo ot church and other improvements.

In similar actions, the council annexed property located at the southwest corner of Huntington Drive and Air Base Parkway into the Community Facilities District No. 2012-2. The district is a Mello-Roos facilities district, the fees collected from which are to be used for public

safety services, open space operation and park maintenance in the Fairfield area. The annexation is expected to generate an estimated $28,883 annually, the staff report to the council stated. The owner of the property is Trea JP Venture Fairfield LLC, with the intent of building three industrial buildings on the site. was no There comment during the public hearing.

At the time, West overcalled three hearts, which was Cappelletti, showing at least 5-5 in hearts and a minor – perfect. Then North doubled, a transfer to spades. This is called “stolen bid,” meaning that if West had passed, North would have bid three hearts herself. I am not a fan of this agreement unless an opponent intervenes over one no-trump with two clubs, natural or showing a one-suiter somewhere. Higher than two clubs, stolen bid varies from debatable to crazy! However, any agreement is better than none. When North announced five or more spades, East passed, and South leapt to four spades, a superaccept.

President Voldemort? Stephen Colbert stops saying Trumpâ€™s name Tribune Content Agency When the chaotic tenure of Donald Trump as president of the United States ends on Wednesday, what will also pass is a small, intriguing, almost silent protest against him thatâ€™s been carried out over the public airwaves. Since the week after the Nov. 3 presidential election, CBS â€œLate Showâ€? host Stephen Colbert has stopped saying, or having his showâ€™s graphics print, the presidentâ€™s name. Turning Trump into Lord Voldemort of the Harry Potter series â€“ He-Who-MustNot-Be-Named â€“ has been a fairly simple matter and one accomplished without fanfare. There was no formal announcement

of this shift in policy, just the shift. And Colbert, apparently beginning with his show of Nov. 12, now says â€œthe presidentâ€? or, at least once, â€œour current presidentâ€? when he mentions Trump in a monologue. And if his accompanying graphic references a news story, the headline will be changed to â€œT****,â€? like a veiled reference to an expletive. Across America, refusing to speak the 45th presidentâ€™s name was a fairly common protest against the former reality TV starâ€™s actions and legitimacy during the past four years. But for one of the late-night network shows to do so, when so much of the showsâ€™ comedy has depended on satirizing the president, is notable.

Lawmakers question Biden’s Pentagon nominee on civilian control of military Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee to run the Pentagon, retired fourstar Army Gen. Lloyd J. Austin, reassured lawmakers Tuesday that he endorses civilian control of the military and could effectively oversee the armed forces despite his decades in uniform. “I would not be here, asking for your support, if I felt that I was unable or unwilling to question people with whom I once served and operations I once led, or too afraid to speak my mind to you or to the president,” Austin told the Senate Armed Services Committee at his confirmation hearing. Austin’s nomination, only four years after another recently retired general, James N. Mattis, was confirmed to run the Pentagon, has run into resistance from some lawmakers wary of granting another exception to the principle that the U.S. military should be under civilian oversight. Before Austin can be confirmed, the House and Senate must vote to waive a law that requires nominees for

defense secretary to have been out of the military for more than seven years. Austin retired just short of five years ago. Installing his national security team quickly is a Austin priority for Biden, not only because he wants to reverse or modify some Trump administration policies but because of diplomatic, military and intelligence problems he will face early in his term. If confirmed, Austin – a 1975 West Point graduate who rose to command U.S. forces in the Middle East – will be the first Black defense secretary. Though lawmakers from both parties have voiced varying levels of opposition to granting a waiver, a senior Biden transition official said Congress likely will approve one, and Austin would comfortably win Senate confirmation. “I’ve never been all that concerned about the seven years, but others have,” said committee Chairman James M. Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma who oversaw the hearing but will be

giving up the leadership post when the Democrats assume control of the Senate, probably Wednesday. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., who is taking over as chairman, had voiced misgivings about granting another waiver during the Trump administration. He said Tuesday that Austin could “mitigate” the concerns, “if you demonstrate your commitment to empowering civilians” at the Pentagon. At least two Democrats on the committee have announced their opposition to granting Austin a waiver: Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. Some may vote against the waiver and then vote for Austin’s confirmation. Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas has also said he opposes waiving the law, as have several House members. Before Mattis’ waiver, only one had ever been approved – for retired Gen. George C. Marshall, who served one year in the Pentagon post

70 years ago. Austin appeared in person at the hearing, while most lawmakers appeared by video. He acknowledged that being one of the top civilian members of Biden’s national security team would require shifting his perspective but vowed to rely on civilian appointees in the Defense Department and to work with Congress. Among other issues, as secretary Austin would face debates about whether to continue Trump’s policies of moving toward withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria and whether to rejoin the Iran nuclear agreement that Trump rejected. He would also likely be tasked with helping to restore allies’ faith in U.S. defense commitments. Referring to his decades in the Army, including his time in command in Iraq and as overall commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, Austin said, “In war and in peace, I implemented the policies of civilians elected and appointed over me.”

Overhaul: Biden targets immigration From Page One immigrant-rights groups, many of whom were alienated and outraged by Trump’s restrictions on legal immigration, police raids on the homes and workplaces of undocumented people living in the U.S., and his fortification of the border with Mexico. But the bill as proposed almost certainly won’t pass a narrowly divided Congress, and even if it is amended to better reflect Republican concerns, odds are long that lawmakers will finally unknot a policy that’s confounded Washington for decades. Recent efforts to comprehensively overhaul U.S. immigration law dating back to George W. Bush’s presidency failed, even at a time when Republicans sought to broaden their appeal to Hispanic voters. There hasn’t been a substantial revamp of American policy since 1986, when Ronald Reagan signed a law that made 3 million undocumented workers eligible for legal status. Ever since, immigration opponents in the Republican Party have demonized such proposals as “amnesty” for people who broke the law. In 2007, an immigration overhaul backed by Bush was blocked in the Senate and never considered in the House,

despite Democrats controlling the chamber. Six years later, under President Barack Obama, a plan negotiated by a bipartisan group of eight senators passed the Senate 68-32 – only to die in the House, where Republican leaders refused to consider it. The most recent attempt at an overhaul collapsed in 2018 when each of four competing plans, including a broad bipartisan plan and one that reflected Trump’s priorities, were blocked from consideration on the Senate floor. During the 2020 campaign, Biden pledged he would reverse Trump’s immigration policies, which he said punished immigrants and ethnic minorities, while maintaining security at the border with Mexico. Under Biden’s bill, people living in the U.S. without documentation as of Jan. 1 would have a fiveyear path to permanent legal status – known as a green card – if they pass background checks, pay taxes and meet other conditions. Then, they could apply for citizenship after another three years. “We’re going to reduce the time from what is now, has been, currently 13 years to 8 years. We are going to expand protections for Dreamers and DACA recipients,” Vice President-elect

Kamala Harris said in a recent interview with Univision, referring to the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. “Dreamers” is the term advocates use for undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children. They and immigrants living in the U.S. under what’s called “temporary protected status” would enjoy an even faster route to citizenship, qualifying for green cards almost immediately if they meet requirements including holding a job or attending school. But Biden’s decision not to pair easier paths to citizenship with enhanced border security and internal enforcement may complicate the legislation in the Senate, divided 50-50 between the parties. Harris will cast the tie-breaking vote as vice president, giving Democrats control of the chamber. But any major legislation will require 60 votes to pass thanks to filibuster rules Democrats aren’t expected to eliminate. And four Republican senators who backed a bipartisan immigration overhaul in 2018 are no longer in office, though three of them were replaced by Democrats. Biden’s proposal also seeks to address the root cause of migration from

Central America in order to reduce the number of people who come illegally to the U.S., calling for increased foreign aid to countries in the region. The plan also includes grants for English education and workforce development. In another break with Trump, Biden’s proposal would expand admissions refugee and make it easier for migrants to secure the status by opening processing centers abroad. The Trump administration capped the number of refugees the U.S. will admit this year at 15,000, a historic low. And while the bill does not condition an expanded path to citizenship on increased border security, it would direct the Department of Homeland Security to come up with a plan to use technology to enhance monitoring along the border and at points of entry. Immigrant rights advocates are likely to be pleased with the measure, after faulting Obama both for being too cautious about advancing an overhaul and too heavy handed with deportations and internal enforcement. Biden is expected to issue executive actions on immigration early in his presidency, including lifting Trump’s travel ban for predominantly majority-Muslim nations.

Pre sidential inauguration

Col. Jason Fettig conducts the United States Marine Band during a rehearsal Tuesday for Inauguration Day.

Marine Band has played at every inauguration since Jefferson

The Washington Post Shortly before 10 a.m. Wednesday, a group of about 60 men and women clad in black wool overcoats will assemble on a platform just below the Capitol inauguration stage where two weeks ago a mob egged on by President Donald Trump’s incendiary words pushed through barriers and forced their way into the historic building. At 10 sharp, they will lift musical instruments and, if all goes as planned, will play “Washington’s Grand March,” a jaunty old tune that dates to the early days of the country and honors George Washington. Thus will begin the Marine Band’s “prelude” to the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, and the opening piece by a musical institution that has provided healing in times of national distress for more than 200 years. Next will come “Fanfare on Amazing Grace,” by African American composer Adolphus Hailstork, and, among other pieces, a march by John Philip Sousa and Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America.” Abraham Lincoln once prayed that “the mystic chords of memory . . . all over this broad land . . . [would] swell the chorus of the Union.” Wednesday, in lockeddown Washington, the Marine Band takes on a similar task for a nation shaken by mob violence and a global pandemic. “Music is always an important factor in gluing our nation together,” Col. Jason Fettig, the band’s director, said Sunday. “It is a binding factor. It is something that . . . reminds people that there are more bridges between us than there are divisions.” “Music is something that can help get us through these times,” he said.

The band played in wind, sleet and snow at Ulysses S. Grant’s second inaugural parade in 1873. In 1937, during the Depression, it performed in the pouring rain at Franklin D. Roosevelt’s second inauguration, and played “Happy Days Are Here Again.” The inauguration “is such an important part of our identity as a nation,” Fettig said. “I want people to feel proud of what they’re witnessing,” he said. “I hope that it is good for the country. I hope that we are able to do our jobs and do some good.” The pandemic forced the band to cancel its fall tour of the Southwest, along with hundreds of in-person performances since last March. “So we are excited to have a sliver of live performance and try to provide that source of inspiration that will help remind people that we are all here, we’re all Americans, we are all working to get through this,” he said. He said the band’s usual 80-member inauguration complement will be fewer than 60 this year. The musicians will

be spread over a larger, 90-foot platform and separated from each other by clear protective shields. They will wear black masks between songs. Fettig said the inaugural area, which teemed with rioters and their banners on Jan. 6, looks pristine now. “I don’t know specifically if there was any damage done,” he said. “I can tell you, when we went over there for a recon just a few days ago, it had been fully restored, if there was damage done.” The band has been able to rehearse cautiously in small groups in recent weeks in its headquarters hall, at Seventh and K streets in Southeast Washington. It has not rehearsed on Zoom. “It would be impossible,” he said. “When you try to get 60 musicians together over the internet, that’s not going to work.” Fettig said he selected music for the inauguration that touches on tradition – “some of the earliest pieces of music that were written for George Washington” – and music that is more modern. The program includes seven Sousa marches, including “The Wash-

ington Post March,” written in 1889. Fettig also asked four living composers for permission to use pieces they had already written or to write new music for the occasion. Composer Hailstork, 79, who studied at Howard University and lives in Virginia Beach, said he was happy that Fettig chose his 2005 “Fanfare on Amazing Grace.” In an interview Monday, he said he took “that famous melody, and I built a pretty active fanfare around it.” “The one thing we want at an inauguration is something uplifting,” he said. “I’m honored that it’s being used.” Founded in 1798, the Marine Band has witnessed national joys and tragedies. It marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in the funeral cortège of Abraham Lincoln in 1865, and it played the Navy hymn at John F. Kennedy’s grave in 1963. The slain president’s widow, Jacqueline Kennedy, had asked the band to lead the funeral procession, Fettig said. On Wednesday morning, the band, known as the “President’s Own,” will perform a 13-song prelude, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., when official events begin, according to the band’s program. After the swearing-in of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, the band will play the stately “Hail Columbia,” a tune dating to 1798 and that for many years was considered the national anthem. Today it honors the vice presidents. After the swearing-in of Biden, the band will play, “Hail to the Chief,” the traditional salute to the president. And after his address, the band will join entertainer Lady Gaga to perform the “The Star-Spangled Banner.” “There have been so many of these moments throughout our history that you wonder, are we going to be able to get through this, are we going to be able to persevere,” Fettig said. “And we do.”

A dozen members of the National Guard have been removed from inauguration duty as the federal government screens troops involved for security concerns, senior U.S. defense officials said Tuesday, one day before President-elect Joe Biden is set to take over as commander in chief. The service members include at least two with possible sympathies for anti-government groups, said two U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Another 10 were removed for other reasons that defense officials declined to detail, but said it does have to do with extremism. “These are vetting efforts that identify any questionable behavior in the past, or any potential link to questionable behavior not related to extremism,” said Jonathan Rath Hoffman, the chief Pentagon spokesman. He said that defense officials are not asking questions right now, and proactively removing people “out of an abundance of caution.” Army Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, declined to provide specifics about the two service members alleged to have expressed common cause with anti-government groups, but said they made “inappropriate comments.” One of those individuals was flagged for concern within his unit, while the other was reported to authorities, defense officials said. The 12 service members removed represent a fraction of 1% of the 25,000 members of the National Guard deployed in Washington for the inauguration following the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol by a mob that sought to stop the certification of Biden as the next president. The group, supporting President Donald Trump, smashed its way into Congress in an attack that led to the death of five people, including a police officer. Democratic lawmakers sought vetting of National Guard members deployed for the inauguration afterward, citing the arrest of numerous veterans in the mob and at least two current service members in the group. The names of guardsmen supporting the inauguration were then sent to the FBI for vetting. Hokanson said that some of the guardsmen who have been flagged will be pulled “off the line” where guardsmen have formed a security perimeter around the Capitol, White House and other federal buildings. He said he is “not concerned” that

a large part of the National Guard has security concerns, citing the small percentage who were removed after screening. “Let me be clear: Extremism is not tolerated in any branch of the United States military,” Hokanson said. “If there are reported issues, our leaders will address them immediately and in accordance with established department policies and in coordination with law enforcement.” The Pentagon on Tuesday referred questions about the guardsmen who have been removed to the Secret Service, which in turn said that any questions about National Guard personnel should be directed to the Defense Department. “In order to maintain critical operational security surrounding the 59th Presidential Inauguration, the U.S. Secret Service and our law enforcement partners will not be commenting on the means and methods used to conduct the agency mission, inclusive of protective intelligence matters,” the Secret Service said in a statement. “Any questions specific to National Guard Bureau personnel should be directed to the Defense Department and the National Guard Bureau.” The Associated Press first reported that some guardsmen would be removed from inauguration duty. Not all of the guardsmen being removed from inauguration duty necessarily have far-right militia ties; in some cases the military is removing individuals flagged by the FBI without knowing the reason they were flagged out of an abundance of caution, according to one official. Guardsmen closer to the inner workings of the inauguration, like those overseeing access points, may receive higher levels of screening, said Michael Taheri, a retired Air Force major general and former director of staff for the National Guard Bureau. Background checks for service members have broadened in recent years to include social media activity and more frequent monitoring, Taheri said, mirroring how private companies comb online behavior for prospective hires. “My guess is there is a lot of open stuff out there,” he said. Among the service members arrested are a current Virginia National Guard member who previously served in the Marine Corps and an Army reservist, according to court documents and defense officials.

Poll: Europeans optimistic about Biden’s presidency Tribune Content Agency A day before his inauguration, President-elect Joe Biden is viewed far more positively by the European public than was Donald Trump, according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center. The polling found that large majorities of respondents across Germany, France and the U.K., key U.S. allies, have confidence in Biden to do the right thing in world affairs. In Germany, 79% of respondents said they had

confidence in Biden, an increase from the 10% who said the same of President Trump in a survey last summer. It was similar elsewhere, with 72% of French respondents and 65% of British respondents expressing confidence in Biden. “Throughout his presidency, Donald Trump was broadly unpopular internationally, and his poor ratings have had a negative impact on America’s overall image, especially among key allies,” Pew said in

the report published Tuesday. “By contrast, early reviews for his successor, President-elect Joe Biden, are much more positive.” The survey was conducted in November and December, before the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, which former President George W. Bush said was worthy of a “banana republic.” Still, if the trends hold true, the polling suggests that Biden’s inauguration may signal an improvement in global perceptions of the U.S. The survey also asked about

the state of trans-Atlantic relations, which have been strained by four years of Trump administration skepticism about the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and about the value of cooperation on issues from climate change to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Large majorities in all three countries said they were optimistic about their country’s relations with the U.S., including 84% of German and French respondents and 72% of British respondents.

The polling showed that concerns about the state of the U.S. political system were widespread across Europe even before the violent storming of the U.S. Capitol. About 73% of Germans, 64% of French and 62% of Brits surveyed said the U.S. political system needs either major changes or to be completely reformed. The poll was based on telephone interviews with 3,066 adults across the three countries.

Biden’s team sees reasons for optimism in dealing with Mitch McConnell Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — He credited him with bipartisan leadership that produced results. He said he trusted him implicitly as a man who doesn’t waste time or break his word. And he even went so far to call him a “real friend,” a rarity in modern day Washington. This is how Mitch McConnell spoke of Joe Biden in December 2016 – a moment when many observers believed the then-vice president’s government service had reached its sunset. But Biden’s power is about to hit its apex. Now, as the resilient leader of the Republican caucus in a 50-50 U.S. Senate, McConnell’s new relationship with the incoming Democratic president will arguably be the most significant in Washington. And aides and allies to Biden are guardedly hopeful that these two septuagenarian institutionalists have a better shot at a constructive pairing than the Kentuckian did with former President Barack Obama. Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, a close Biden ally who met with McConnell a few weeks ago to extend an olive branch on legislative initiatives, said McConnell’s farewell tribute to Biden in 2016 provides him the most tangible case for optimism. “I saw in his enthusiasm for that moment signs of actual friendship,” Coons recalled, adding, “It was Joe who got sent up to deal with McConnell on Obama’s behalf.” Biden aides are keenly aware that one of McCo-

nnell’s main objectives is to be in the center of the action as the pivotal figure in any crucial Senate negotiation. They are also clear-eyed that the soon-tobe Senate Minority Leader will often oppose Biden initiatives and the size of Democratic spending requests. Their encouragement stems mostly from the personal connection between the two men – that mutual respect and trust fostered over their governing tenures will blunt partisanship when it comes to confronting the coronavirus pandemic and economic malaise. “Having McConnell’s partnership – or at least reducing his level of obstruction – is absolutely essential,” Coons said. Biden and McConnell have remained in contact personally and through intermediaries like Coons in the weeks leading up to Wednesday’s unprecedented inauguration. McConnell has accepted Biden’s invitation to attend Mass with him on Wednesday morning before the noon swearing in ceremony, according to a McConnell aide. McConnell has signaled that he would give Biden’s Cabinet nominations fair hearings, while sharing his grievances over how some of President Donald Trump’s nominees were treated by Democrats. Two areas where the two sides see potential for agreement include investments in infrastructure spending and an expansion of the national service program AmeriCorps, which would add thousands of workers to help respond to the pandemic.

For 49ers, no price too high for Watson Dieter Kurtenbach MERCURY NEWS

he Texans should take whatever they want from the 49ers. So long as they send their 25-year-old. three-time Pro Bowl quarterback back to the Bay. There’s only one thing that’s certain about Deshaun Watson’s situation in Houston – he wants to leave. By release or trade, it doesn’t matter. He’s fed up with the organization and is trying to use any bit of leverage he has to facilitate his exit. And while I don’t believe he’ll be traded – the entire NFL system is built so that he won’t be traded – the 49ers can’t operate under that pretense. If the Texans indeed make Watson available, Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch can’t overthink it. They can’t talk themselves out of Watson for a second time. This is an unprecedented situation that requires an unprecedented response. They need to go all-in. If that means dangling Nick Bosa, or Fred Warner, or every first-round draft pick they’ll ever have to Houston, so be it. The Niners have to act with reason when it comes to putting together a trade package for Watson, but I’m not sure there’s a cap on reasonability here. Watson is one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks. He’s 25 years old. He’s under contract. And in Shanahan’s offense, he would be an annual preseason MVP favorite. No one can tell me that player isn’t worth everything and a bit more, because that kind of player has never been available via trade in NFL history. And for a situation like this to possibly come along right as the 49ers need an upgrade at quarterback is the kind of good break the 49ers deserve after last season. Here’s the truth: The 49ers cannot win the Super Bowl with Jimmy Garoppolo. They can win a lot of games in the regular season, maybe even a few playoff games, too, but to win the big games in this league, you need to be able to throw the ball. Just look at the NFL’s final four. It’s Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, MVP favorite Aaron Rodgers, and the guy who is likely to finish second in MVP voting, Josh Allen. And I’m not being nitpicky when I say that all four of their teams have major holes. Green Bay, Buffalo, and Kansas City have downright See Watson, Page B2

State’s ban on high school sports still scheduled to end next week – for now The Sacramento Bee California’s Covid-19 suspension of youth sports competitions is expected to end next week, but the state’s top public health official on Tuesday voiced reservations about the timeline and said it could change.

Ghaly’s remarks come as the CIF Southern Section, representing Southern California, announced that it is canceling fall sports playoffs

They also come as the CIF has promised to crack down on its 1,500 member schools that play in unsanctioned interscholastic competitions. Over the weekend, student athletes led protests at more than 130 sites across the state, as part of the “Let them play” protest movement calling on state officials to lift the ban on interscholastic sporting events.

De’Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings, left, and Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans go for a loose ball at Golden 1 Center,

Sunday, in Sacramento. Fox scored a career-high 43 points, but the Kings suffered a 128-123 defeat.

Tribune Content Agency

Friday in Sacramento. They have given up at least 122 points in their last eight games, yielding an average of 131.3 over that stretch, a figure that would eclipse the all-time NBA record of 130.77 set by the Denver Nuggets in 1990-91. “For us, it’s going to come down to defense,” Barnes said. “If we can’t hold a team under 120, it’s going to be a long night.” Barnes has been solid in what might be his best NBA season. He is an exemplary professional who sets a good example for young players. The Kings know what to expect from Barnes on a nightly basis, but what they really need is the upside that would come from more efficiency, consistency and defense from Fox and Hield.

Kings see De’Aaron Fox step up amid their historic defensive struggles Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox was already curling stacks of cash in Hulu commercials in anticipation of his own future riches when Buddy Hield and Harrison Barnes received lucrative new contracts in 2019. Former Kings general manager Vlade Divac gave Barnes a four-year, $85 million deal before signing Hield to a four-year extension worth up to $106 million with incentives. New general manager Monte McNair came in and dwarfed those deals in November when he signed Fox to a five-year, $163 million max extension that could reach the $195.6 million super max with incentives.

bag, but now somebody has to go get the damn ball. Instead of inspired leadership and improving returns on their investment in the current roster, the Kings are getting embarrassed, exploited and exposed as the worst defensive team in the league, maybe one of the worst of all-time. They are last in the NBA in opponent field-goal percentage (.503), 3-point percentage (.402) and points per game (123.6). The Kings have the worst scoring defense in the past 25 years of NBA basketball. The Kings (5-9) have lost three in a row and eight of 10 going into Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers (10-4), a team that trounced them 138-100 on

Once lauded as one of the league’s most promising young backcourts, and now in their fourth season together, Fox and Hield haven’t accomplished much aside from personal wealth and individual accolades. Each is blessed with elite abilities at the offensive end, but both have defensive deficiencies and neither has been good enough in terms of consistency and leadership. Kings coach Luke Walton said it’s time for them to step up. “As two of our guys that have been here the longest, (players) that obviously we feel very high about the type of players they are with the contracts, we need the leadership, the voice, See Fox, Page B10

A’s Owens should get call when Mets replace disgraced GM Porter Tribune Content Agency Among baseball’s talent evaluators and front-office executives, they don’t come much sharper than Billy Owens. Owens, the A’s assistant general manager and director of player personnel, was a candidate for the Mets’ generalmanager job that went to Jared Porter last month. Porter was fired Tuesday for sending explicit text messages to a female reporter in 2016 while he was employed by the Cubs, which ESPN detailed in a Monday report. Mets President Sandy Alderson said Porter “failed to meet the Mets’ standards for pro-

fessionalism and personal conduct,” and owner Steve Cohen spoke of “the importance of integrity” saying, “There should be zero tolerance for this type of behavior.” Alderson said a GM won’t be hired in the offseason and that he’d be more involved on the baseball side. Whenever the Mets fill the job, they’d do themselves a favor by hiring Owens away from the A’s. On many levels, it makes sense. The Mets need good PR and a solid baseball person, and Owens would provide both after building his resume with the A’s for 22 years. It can’t be lost that

the ESPN story broke on Martin Luther King Day, as if we needed a reminder that baseball is a sport that cries out for a far greater African American presence, not only on the field but among decision-makers in the front office. Hours before we knew of Porter’s disgrace, Owens appeared on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM and spoke of “being African American and proud” and saying of MLK, “What a man. He packed centuries of living and influence into 39 years.” In the interview, Owens listed African Americans who See Owens, Page B2

Neither Duke nor UNC are ranked in basketball’s Top 25 That hasn’t happened since 1982 Tribune Content Agency For the first time since December 1982, The Associated Press men’s basketball poll doesn’t include Duke or North Carolina. The blue-blooded rivals, famously located eight miles a part with 11 NCAA tournament championships between them, are struggling simultaneously, with North Carolina having started this season 8-5 while Duke is 5-3. The Blue Devils started the season ranked No. 9, rose as high as No. 6 and were ranked No. 19 in last week’s poll. But Duke dropped out of Monday’s poll after losing 74-67 at No. 20 Virginia Tech last Tuesday. That ended a streak of 702 consecutive polls that included one or the other. The Blue Devils appeared on 10 of 64 ballots from the nationwide media panel, securing 43 points. This is the first AP Top

From Page B1 held GM-type jobs, a list that’s way too small: Bill Lucas, Bob Watson, Kenny Williams, Tony Reagins, Michael Hill – another candidate for the Mets’ GM job – and Dave Stewart. The Marlins recently hired Kim Ng as baseball’s first female GM – “overqualified, she’s going to be tremendous,” Owens said – but front-office diversity, including with African Americans, remains a major problem throughout the majors. “I think you’ve got to look at a person’s overall body of work. Everybody came from a different circumstance. Don’t just follow the same playbook,” Owens said. “Everybody’s got different styles. Everybody’s got different shapes. That doesn’t mean one style is going to make somebody successful.”

Owens, 49, played the game at a high level. At Bellarmine in San Jose. At the University of Arizona. In pro ball for seven seasons in the Orioles’ a nd Astros’ systems after being a third-round draft pick in 1992. Porter, 41, played baseball and hockey at Division III Bowdoin College in Maine and worked himself up with the Red Sox from intern to director of pro scouting, then moved to the Cubs and Diamondbacks before Alderson hired him in New York. It might be easy for Alderson to promote Zack Scott, who was hired as the Mets’ assistant GM shortly after the Porter hire and was a finalist for the GM job. Both Scott and Porter were interns together in 2004 in Theo Epstein’s front office, and Scott worked his way up through analytics and systems departments.

UNC remained in the next three polls, at either No. 15 or No. 17, before an 84-74 loss to Tulsa on Dec. 17, 1982, left the Tar Heels with a 3-3 record. UNC beat Texas-Rio Grande the following day, but fell out of the next poll on Dec. 21, 1982. The Tar Heels remained out of the Dec. 28, 1982 poll but returned to the poll at No. 18 on Jan. 4, 1983. UNC won 18 games in a row after losing at Tulsa that season, climbing all the way to No. 1 in the poll by Feb. 1, 1983. Since the 1982-83 season, Duke and UNC have both appeared in every poll throughout 21 seasons: 1985-86, 198789, 1990-94, 1996-99, 2000-01, 2003-05, 200709, 2011-12 and 2014-2019. So while UNC was only ranked five weeks in the 1989-90 season, for example, Duke was

ranked in every poll that season. The same was true when UNC had unranked weeks during the 1999-2000 season as well as in the 2001-02, 2002-03, 2005-06, 2009-10, 201011, 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2019-20 seasons. Conversely, Duke was only ranked in five polls in the 1983-84 season when UNC was ranked all season. The only other seasons when Duke has missed a poll since then were 199495, 1995-96, 2006-07 and 2015-16. The Tar Heels were ranked in every poll in those seasons as well. Expanding further around North Carolina, this is the first poll since Dec. 28, 1970, that doesn’t include a team from N.C. That was a streak of 903 consecutive polls. It’s also the first time since the Dec. 18, 1961, poll that Duke, UNC and Kentucky are all unranked. This ends a streak of 1,043 consecutive polls.

Watson: Could be 49ers’ Kevin Durant From Page B1 underwhelming defenses. But it doesn’t matter, because their quarterbacks can put 50 points on you if that’s what is needed. You could even expand this out to the final eight teams in this year’s playoffs. Those four aforementioned quarterbacks defeated the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards ( Drew Brees), two No. 1 overall picks ( Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield), and the reigning MVP ( Lamar Jackson). Why didn’t those blue bloods win? Not because their defenses let them down, no. Those losers’ issues this past weekend was the passing game. Brees looked washed-up, Jackson can’t push the ball downfield, Goff and Baker Mayfield made some nice throws, but not the ones they needed in the biggest moments. Does Garoppolo fit in with the final four crowd? What about the final eight? Because I know Watson could slide into either group with ease. The Niners are in a

situation that’s not too dissimilar to the 2016 Warriors, albeit a year removed from their final-game loss. Like the Warriors, the Niners have to know that the roster crunch was imminent, that the league would catch up to their tactics. The Warriors saw those things happening and added the kind of player they should have never been able to add – Kevin Durant. But remember, there were plenty of folks out there who thought the Dubs should run it back with Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut. We didn’t hear much from those people after a short while. Garoppolo is Barnes. Solid player, until the big moments in the big games. Watson can be the Niners’ Durant. Other teams are going to come with big offers. Robert Saleh’s Jets have a ton of first-round picks to offer, including No. 2 overall. The Dolphins can move Tua Tagovailoa and the No. 3 pick they poached from the Texans, among other things.

The Niners don’t have a young quarterback or a top-10 pick to move, so they’re going to have to get creative if there’s a bidding war. But the 49ers can’t pass on Watson twice. If he does move, the likelihood is that he’ll end up in a Shanahanstyle, wide-zone offense. Roughly half the teams in the NFL run them now. And Watson will dominate in it. He was awesome with Bill O’Brien calling plays – what happens when he’s in an offense that gives him massive throwing windows? What happens when he’s in an offense that makes Kirk Cousins a $30 milliona-year player? Rodgers went from washed-up to MVP under Matt LaFleur and his Shanahan offense. There’s truly no ceiling for Watson with Shanahan calling plays. As such, there’s no ceiling to what the 49ers should be willing to give up to land him if he comes available. You can always find another pass rusher. Nick Bosa is awesome, but the Niners had a top-five defense without him this year.

Fred Warner is a worthy All-Pro, but would it be the worst thing to trade a middle linebacker – the quarterback of the defense – for an actual quarterback? Plus, Warner is due a big new contract soon. The Niners are going to have holes on their roster. They were in cap hell before the pandemic. The quarterback is supposed to pick up the slack in those situations, but Garoppolo is the cart, not the horse pulling it. Watson is the kind of quarterback who can cover up all those holes with his great play, though. With him at the helm, no matter who (within reason) the 49ers move to get him, San Francisco will have a top-five offense. That’s how talented Watson is and how perfect the Shanahan offense is for a player of his skillsets. Defense doesn’t win championships. Quarterbacks do. And if the Niners want to win a title – which should be their only goal – they’re lacking in that allimportant area. So whatever the Texans want, give it to them.

Owens: Mets GM?

25 poll without Duke since Feb. 8, 2016. Nor t h C a rol ina started the season at No. 16 but hasn’t been ranked since it was at No. 17 in the Dec. 21 poll. The Tar Heels were not included on any of the 64 ballots this week. The last poll to not include Duke or UNC was Dec. 27, 1982. The 1982-83 season was Mike Krzyzewski’s third at Duke and the team was never ranked. The Blue Devils went 11-17, a season so poor that many boosters were calling for Krzyzewski to be fired. Duke athletics director Tom Butters stuck with Krzyzewski, and he’s gone on to win five NCAA championships and become the sports all-time leader in coaching wins. UNC started the 1982-83 season as the reigning NCAA champion with Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins in the lineup. The Tar Heels were No.

forward to exploring how to use that pitch more this upcoming season.” Wood said he tweaked the grip on his changeup, which he had been throwing the same way since he was a kid, and the break is drastically different. He pushes off the first-base side of the rubber and felt the change was necessary to better deceive righthanded batters. “It’s more of a flyball pitch,” Wood said. “Metrically speaking. It should’ve been more of a groundball pitch. I’ve played with some new grips this offseason to where I’ve added on average of 4 to 4½ inches of horizontal movement. I’m excited to see what it’s like once I face hitters.” Wood said his slider is “more of a gyro-y slider” and “profiles around a zero vert. Anything below five vert on any breaking stuff is very solid. I don’t get a ton of horizontal because of the angle I throw from.

“The perceived movement on my slider is more significant than the actual movement. My arsenal is a little bit updated, but it’s something I’m confident about.” These aren’t words coming from a traditional pitcher who simply takes the mound and lets his instincts take over. Wood is a modern-day ballplayer with a modern-day mind-set, which is part of the appeal for Zaidi and Co. Wood wanted to move on from his days in the Dodgers’ bullpen, and the Giants needed another arm in the rotation, preferably a lefty. It seems a good match, and Wood can pocket an extra $3 million in performance bonuses and improve his numbers as a starter for another dip into free agency. All while experiencing the other end of the rivalry.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, January 20, 2021 B3

The other side

We can forget being united

he theme of new President Joseph R. Biden’s inauguration is “America United.” After the past four years and the Jan. 6 insurrection, the theme seems downright laughable. Surely, when he was vice president, he watched President Barack Obama repeatedly try and kick the football held by Mitch McConnell, only to land flat on his back. Are we really going to try the unity thing again after four years of American carnage? Unity is especially hard for the losing side. I’m reminded of something that happened 29 years ago today. It was Sunday, Jan. 20, 1991, and I was over at my friend Mickens’ parents’ house in Suisun City with a bunch of friends cheering on the Los Angeles Raiders in the AFC Championship game versus the Buffalo Bills. The Bills crushed the Raiders 51-3 and after the game, Kelly Kelvin Wade Farney said we had to support the Bills in the Super Bowl since they were the champions of the AFC and had rightly beaten our team. No one was down for that idea. A week later, when Bills kicker Scott Norwood’s potential Super Bowl game-winning kick sailed wide right, sending the Bills down to defeat, we cheered! Unity? Please. Abraham Lincoln, in his second inaugural, talked about binding up our wounds and healing after a bloody civil war. It was inspiring but truth be told, those wounds have yet to fully heal more than 150 years later. And we’re supposed to join hands and pretend an American president and his minions didn’t just attempt a coup? A new CBS/YouGov poll finds 54% of Americans say other Americans are the biggest threat to our way of life. Americans fear other Americans more than a cratering economy, viruses, natural disasters and foreign governments. That’s not a recipe for unity. The truth is, we can’t stand each other. Americans see each other as snowflakes, cultists, libtards, racists, socialists, communists, xenophobes, homophobes, fascists and domestic terrorists. In other words, don’t expect “healing,” “reconciliation” or any of the other ooey-gooey buzzwords you’re likely to hear moving forward. How do we unify when we don’t see the same facts? We don’t exist in the same reality. The better angels of our natures have been driven to drink. We’re not interested in unifying with people who don’t hold our values. I can’t see myself becoming chummy with people who look the other way on lying and corruption, leave their religions at church on Sundays, think the Confederate flag is merely a symbol of heritage, condemn rioting until they choose to do it, and are ready to break federal law or disregard the Constitution based on the whims of one man. So what do we do? We tolerate each other. Sure, there are certain things, certain lines that can’t be crossed and things that cannot be tolerated. On those issues, we fight. But just to get along in a country where millions are bitterly divided, we must tolerate differences. We disagree on minor things all the time. Some people love certain foods while others hate it. Some people actually like the Santa Clara 49ers while other football fans have taste. Some think Adam Sandler is funny, or Nickelback is a viable musical option or “Wonder Woman 1984” wasn’t shockingly bad. Many Americans throw their money away on lottery tickets, televangelists and worthless politicians. We tolerate tons of differences in our friends and families on a daily basis. Our society works because we don’t fight it out on everything we disagree on. We don’t turn everything into an existential political battle. Our neighbors aren’t required to believe or think as we do. If we want the freedom to hold our own views, we have to give others that same space. There are things we can get together on. I’m sure most people of all political stripes want this pandemic behind us. We want economic help during this downturn. We want small businesses helped to survive this seismic tilt in our economy. We can find common ground without having to join hands and do the kumbaya thing. I know the incoming president wants to unite Americans. He may have to settle for Americans not killing each other. Not fighting over every disagreement may be what passes for “unity” in 2021. Peace. Kelvin Wade, a former Fairfield resident and author of “Morsels Vol. l and ll,” lives in Sacramento.

letter to the editor

Rural neighborhood not a tourist destination We are appealing to the Solano County Planning Commission and Solano County Board of Supervisors to withhold approval of any application for unhosted short-term vacation rental properties, but in particular for a property on Edinburg Court in Green Valley Highlands in unincorporated Solano County. Short-term rentals are for stays from a few days to a week or more, but less than 30 days. A hearing for approval of this permit is scheduled at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21. This regulation allowing unhosted short-term rentals was passed by the Board of Supervisors in 2018, with most residents unaware of its

existence. Unfortunately, Solano County doesn’t have adequate personnel to regulate these rentals. If unscrupulous owners, or overly ambitious proprietors, choose to flaunt the rules set up by the regulation, there are few alternatives for disturbed neighbors, other than to call the Sheriff’s Office, take pictures and write/call appropriate county departments. This is leaving the “policing” of this business to the neighbors. Responsible neighbors are reluctant to bother Sheriff’s Office for other than true emergencies. Please note this is pure and simply a business – set up to make money and operating essentially as a hotel (without a front desk) in a quiet residential neighborhood. The owners purchased the property in 2019 and immediately started construction to set up a high-capacity

short-term rental. They advertised on AirBnB as sleeping 16 people, as a destination to Napa Wine Country and listed in-house wine purchase for the convenience of their guests. The owners have, in our view, committed innumerable infractions of the Solano County rules for unhosted shortterm rentals. Our neighborhood consists of many older longtime owners, many residents over 70. We have lived in our home for more than 31 years and previously enjoyed solitude with no problem of noise. That has changed. Our sense of security has been shattered since the high-capacity short-term rental on Edinburg Court has started operating. We urge a NO vote for unhosted short-term rentals in Solano County. Suzanne and Dennis Adair Fairfield

Dr. Mark

Ghaly, the state’s top public health official, acknowledged that the state’s approach “has led to some delays in getting vaccine out into our communities.” There have been anecdotal reports that public employees not on the state’s official priority list have received doses of the vaccine, but it seems unlikely that anyone will receive the punishment that Newsom threatened. The situation remains chaotic. At one point last week, following a federal directive, the state suddenly decided that anyone over 65 could be vaccinated. But the pronouncement caught providers by surprise and they were suddenly deluged with phone calls from elderly residents seeking reservations, many of which went unanswered as phone lines were overwhelmed. Local health authorities, meanwhile, complained that while there are more than 2 million doses not yet used, they were having great difficulty getting them into vaccination sites. Many blamed a slow-acting computer program that the state was using to manage supply and demand. Bottom line: This is not a proud moment for California and its vaccination shortcomings will cost lives.

Dave Simonett, friends find More Light as live music remains dark Tribune Content Agency It began because of writer’s block, and thanks to the pandemic it hasn’t yet ended. That’s how Dave Simonett explained the rather odd existence of his latest side project, an improvisational drone band that now goes by the name More Light. The Trampled by Turtles frontman was in a bit of a creative rut in the fall of 2019 when he booked a day of studio time at his favorite recording site, Pachyderm in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. He then invited four multifaceted musical companions from the Twin Cities to join him. “It was really just an exercise and wasn’t meant to be a band,” Simonett said. “I wanted to get outside my comfort zone and find a new way to spark some ideas.” He and his makeshift crew wound up recording six hours of improvised instrumental music. About 36 minutes have been culled and mixed into a digital album titled “Casual Dragon,” which hit Bandcamp and most streaming sites on Friday. Simonet t’s four collaborators in the band — which he said “is now more like a collective” — all play different instruments and have played with a wide variety of acts around town. They are Eamonn McLain (also the cellist in Trampled by Turtles), Al Church, Lars-Erik Larson and Don House. The latter three members also helped Simonett record his 2020 solo album, “Red Tail,” which dovetailed into More Light. “We’re all really good friends, and I think that was important in this case,” said House, who’s also a member of Dem Yuut and primarily a guitarist here. “It helped create this sort of safe-space environment where there was no pressure, no fear of expressing ourselves, no fear of mistakes. We were free to do whatever we felt, and free to go deep.” Inspired by the annual Drones Not Drones concert at the Cedar Cultural Center

in Minneapolis (on hold this year) and improvised excursions by their mutual heroes in Low and other drone specialists, the band set up their musical gear without any plans or song structures and just improvised. To help set a mood, House incorporated samples of nature recordings he captured in Glacier National Park and right outside Pachyderm along troutstrewn Pine Creek. “It’s such a peaceful, beautiful setting there – never mind the history, too,” House said. This all helps explain “Casual Dragon’s” ambient and serene sound. The record is split into two tracks, “Song 1” and “Song 2,” the former clocking in at nearly 30 minutes and the latter at just six. Each features pools of lightly rippling, mellow electric guitar parts and a layer of misty string work by McLain. “It seemed like a kind of music people might appreciate right now,” said Simonett, referring to the “transcendent” quality of drone music. “It got me out of my head space making it, and I hope it can maybe do the same thing for people listening to it, with everything going on right now.” After postponing a wide swath of tour dates last summer and fall, Simonett’s main vehicle Trampled by Turtles also put off plans to travel to Texas and record a new album when Covid-19 rates started spiking again in the late fall. “It just felt too stressful trying to make it work, which isn’t a good environment for making a record,” he said. The acoustic sextet is holding out hope to return to the road next summer, with two postponed big gigs at Red Rocks Amphitheater near Denver circled on the calendar for July 15-16 (possibly with distancing protocols implemented), plus the joint tour with Wilco from last year rescheduled for this September (including a Sept. 18 date at Treasure Island Casino’s amphitheater).

Movies we’re looking forward to in early 2021

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, January 20, 2021 B5

Peter Sblendorio New York Daily News

Get your popcorn ready: Big movies are coming soon. With so many films delayed last year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, even more big titles than usual are on the horizon in 2021. Here are movies to look forward to between now and March. Searchlight Pictures/TNS

‘One Night in Miami’

Frances McDormand stars in “Nomadland.”

This movie features a knockout group of icons: Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke all coming together for an unforgettable night. The flick is fiction, but the Oscar buzz is real. The film hit Amazon Prime Video on Friday.

Walking Dead” star Steven Yeun leads “Minari,” a contender for best picture. “Minari” caused some offscreen drama when it was announced last month that Hollywood Foreign Press Associations rules disallow the movie from competing in the Golden Globes race for best drama or musical/comedy. Instead, it was classified as a foreign language film, leading to uproar among directors, writers and actors including Lulu Wang, Phil Lord, Celeste Ng and Daniel Dae Kim.

‘The Little Things’ “The Little Things” features a big-time cast, with Oscar-winners Denzel Washington and Rami Malek starring as California authorities working to track down a serial killer. Jared Leto plays the suspected assailant. The movie debuts in theaters and on HBO Max on Jan. 29.

‘Cinderella’ Bringing a little magic to the big screen will be this modern twist on “Cinderella,” with pop superstar Camila Cabella as the title character and Billy Porter as the Fairy Godmother. Idina Menzel and Pierce Brosnan add more star quality to the movie, whose release date is still listed as “Winter 2021.”

‘Malcolm and Marie’ M ade du r i ng t he Covid-19 pandemic, the drama about a filmmaker and his wife anticipating feedback on his latest movie features two of Hollywood’s brightest young actors in John David Washington and Zendaya. It’s out Feb. 5 on Netflix.

‘Judas and the Black Messiah’ If you loved “Get Out,” you may get into this reteaming of stars Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield for this biographical drama, out Feb. 12 in theaters and on HBO Max. Kaluuya plays Fred Hampton, former chairman of the Black Panther Party, and Stanfield plays William O’Neal, an FBI informant working against him.

‘Minari’ A South Korean film, “Parasite,” made history winning best picture, and this U.S. film about a Korean American family pursuing its dream is also an Oscars hopeful. The flick wowed on the festival circuit, and it gets a wide release in theaters Feb. 12. “The

Daily Cryptoquotes

‘Breaking News in Yuba County’ Led by a star-studded cast, “Breaking News in Yuba County” sees Allison Janney play a wife looking for her missing husband. Mila Kunis, Regina Hall and Awkafina also star in the movie out in theaters Feb. 12.

‘Nomadland’ Another festival favorite, “Nomadland” stars Frances McDormand as a traveling woman who experiences life outside society. Oscar nominations are likely for best picture, best director for Chloe Zhao and best actress for McDormand – who’s already got a pair of trophies for “Fargo” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” The drama hits theaters Feb. 19.

‘The Mauritanian’ Jodie Foster. Benedict Cumberbatch. Shailene Woodley. Zachary Levi. It would be a crime not to see this legal drama with a cast of that caliber. It opens in theaters Feb. 19.

‘Flora & Ulysses’ What kid wouldn’t want a pet squirrel with superpowers? Based on a popular children’s novel, “Flora & Ulysses” tells the story of a young girl and her squirrel with amazing abilities. The fun family flick debuts Feb. 19 on Disney+.

‘Tom and Jerry’ The cast is the cat’s meow, with Chloë Grace Moretz, Colin Jost and Ken Jeong among the stars. Out Feb. 26 in theaters

and on HBO Max, the film gives everyone’s favorite catand-mouse game the live-action treatment, plopping the ‘toons into a real-world setting.

‘Nobody’ “Nobody” is led by a big somebody, Bob Odenkirk. The thriller, in theaters Feb. 26, sees the “Better Call Saul” star play an everyday man whose life is flipped upside down when he encounters a pair of thieves.

‘The United States vs Billie Holiday’ Andra Day strives to strike the right note as jazz icon Billie Holiday in the drama, which centers on the federal government targeting the singer to stop her from singing “Strange Fruit,” a powerful protest against lynchings. Movie biopics can lead to Oscar gold, as Jamie Foxx, Reese Witherspoon and Rami Malek have shown for their portrayals of Ray Charles, June Carter Cash and Freddie Mercury, respectively. It will debut Feb. 26 on Hulu.

‘The Father’ The drama is told from the perspective of a man battling memory loss, expertly played by Anthony Hopkins, and offers a window into how someone’s mind might process life as they deal with the cognitive decline. Fellow Oscar winner Olivia Colman excels as his concerned daughter in the drama, scheduled for theaters Feb. 26.

‘Coming 2 America’ All hail Prince Akeem! Eddie Murphy returns as the prince of Zamunda in the long-awaited sequel to the 1988 favorite “Coming to America.” This time, Murphy’s royally hilarious character returns to America to find his long-lost son, who will one day be the heir to the throne. It features some familiar faces, with Arsenio Hall back as Semmi and James Earl Jones returning as King Jaffe Joffer, and some new ones, with Leslie Jones and Teyana Taylor among the cast additions. It’s out March 5 on Amazon Prime Video.

Study: Parler users more likely vets or in military Tribune Content Agency

SAT test preparation books sit on a shelf at a Barnes and Noble store, June 27, 2002 in New York City.

Another blow to SAT: Essays, subject tests to be scrapped Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES â€” In another sea change to the standardized testing industry, the College B oa rd a n nou nc ed Tuesday that it planned to scrap the SAT subject tests and optional essay, saying the pandemic had accelerated the push to â€œreduce and simplify demands on students.â€? The nationâ€™s leading standardized testing organization also said it was developing a â€œmore flexible SATâ€? that would be streamlined and delivered digitally. â€œThe pandemic has highlighted the importance of being innovative and adaptive to what lies ahead,â€? the College Board said in a statement. â€œWe are committed to making the SAT a more flexible tool, and we are making substantial investments to do so.â€? The changes will have little impact on students applying to the University of California, which has led the way in limiting the use of standardized testing â€“ in particular

the SAT and ACT â€“ which critics have opposed as biased based on race, income and parent education level. UC has already eliminated requirements for subject tests and is moving to phase out the general SAT and ACT; in addition, a court order has banned their use for current high school seniors. The UC Board of Regents will meet this week to discuss a new recommendation to permanently eliminate standardized testing as an admission requirement. Nationwide, more than 1,000 colleges and universities have dropped testing requirements. The pandemic has accelerated that move away from the tests, as threefourths of U.S. colleges made them optional for admissions this year because of limited testing opportunities. â€œThe College Board is simply acknowledging the economically inevitable: the number of colleges and universities requiring either the SAT â€˜Essayâ€™ or Subject Tests . . . was rapidly declining pre-pan-

demic and was essentially zero in the current admissions cycle,â€? said Bob Schaeffer, public education director for FairTest, the National Center for Fair and Open Testing. â€œAs a result, registration volumes for both exams were plunging. After significant revenue losses from multiple rounds of test cancellations over the past 10 months, it made no financial sense to continue trying to market its ever-less-popular products,â€? he said. The College Board said the SAT subject tests could be supplanted by its AP tests, which students choose to take typically after completing a collegelevel course in subjects ranging from chemistry to history during high school. The testing organization said the â€œexpanded reach of AP and its widespread availability for low-income students and students of colorâ€? meant the subject tests were no longer necessary. â€œAP provides students rich and varied opportunities to showcase their

knowledge and skills through college-level coursework,â€? the College Board said. â€œCourses like AP Computer Science Principles . . . provide the type of hands-on learning experiences and practical, real-world work that colleges want to see from students.â€? The College Board also said there were other ways students could demonstrate their mastery of essay writing but that the general SAT would continue to measure writing and editing skills. Students can take the SAT with essay through the June 2021 SAT administration. The College Board also said it would open opportunities for students in the class of 2022 to take the SAT this year by giving them seats that would otherwise go to those taking subject tests and possibly expanding capacity and test administrations this fall. â€œThereâ€™s still a clear demand from students to take the SAT as a way to show their strengths to colleges,â€? the College Board said.

US hits 400,000 Covid-19 deaths as Biden pledges to boost fight Tribune Content Agency The U.S. has recorded 400,000 Covid-19 deaths, a sobering milestone that comes as the nation prepares to inaugurate a new president who has pledged to speed up vaccine delivery and promote protective measures like mask-wearing as a patriotic duty. With more than

24 million Covid-19 infections, the U.S. has been the world leader in cases and deaths, contributing about one-fifth of the more than 2 million fatalities reported globally. India and Brazil are next in line. Meanwhile, a more contagious variant of the virus is spreading among Americans and could become dominant by March, federal

health officials have said, opening new concerns about Covid-19 outracing efforts to control it. President-elect Joe Biden, who will be sworn into office on Wednesday, has said beating the virus is his top priority. Heâ€™s scheduled to attend an event to remember victims of the coronavirus Tuesday at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

Biden has stressed that measures such as masking and social distancing are essential to control further spread, and said heâ€™ll mandate their use wherever he can. Heâ€™s also announced plans to spend more than $400 billion to fight the pandemic and boost distribution of shots from the Pfizer Inc.BioNTech SE partnership and Moderna Inc.

LOYAL F ORDER OF MOOSE

WASHINGTON â€“ The now-silenced Parler app that appeared to have played a key role in mobilizing the Trump-inspired mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 had a greater share of users who are either veterans or in the U.S. military compared with other social media platforms. Parler also drew more users from states in the South and in the Mountain West â€“ tracking closely with pro-Trump Republican voters in those states â€“ than from other parts of the country. The findings come from research by Disqo, a company based in Glendale, California, that signs up volunteers from among users of social media platforms who allow their online presence to be tracked. While the overall number of military personnel and veterans on social media sites is small compared with the platformsâ€™ user base, on Parler there was a greater chance of picking a member at random and finding that person to have a military background, said Anne Hunter, vice president of product marketing at Disqo. That was also because the platform had a larger concentration of Republican voters who tend to be overrepresented among military personnel, Hunter said. The study also found that Parler attracted users from states in the South, which made up 39 percent of the platformâ€™s users, compared with users from New England states, which made up only 15 percent of its users. Parler had a â€œvery high utilization in Wyoming, which was significantly higher than anywhere elseâ€? adjusting for the stateâ€™s population, Hunter said. In a mostly rural state thatâ€™s sparsely populated, itâ€™s likely that a social media app that appeals to conservative voters may â€œprovide a way for people to connect, and spread, because of the network effect,â€? Hunter said. Disqo has a sample of about 30,000 social media users, the company said. The Parler findings were drawn from a subset of about 755 users of the platform, according to the company. Parler, launched in 2018, branded itself as a conservative alternative to Twitter and offered

little to no moderation of its usersâ€™ content. It began attracting users during President Donald Trumpâ€™s first impeachment in 2019 when several Republicans, including lawmakers alleging that impeachment was a hoax, began signing up on Parler. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., was among members of Congress who said they were switching to Parler from Twitter. Trump fueled his supportersâ€™ anger by posting, on average, 40 tweets a day slamming Democrats after Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House impeachment proceedings in September 2019. After the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Twitter first temporarily suspended Trumpâ€™s account for inciting violence, but when his subsequent tweets showed no signs of remorse, the company permanently banned him on Jan. 8. Facebook did the same. Soon after Trump was knocked off Twitter and Facebook, Parlerâ€™s user base grew by as much as 175 percent between Jan. 8 and Jan. 10, Disqo found. By then Parler became the most downloaded app on Apple and Google platforms. Sensor Tower, a company that tracks app downloads on mobile phones, found that on Jan. 8, Parler downloads had increased 280 percent on Apple iPhones and 355 percent on Google Android phones. But the surge in users was short-lived. Alarmed by the unmoderated content, calls for violence and naked racism on Parler, all major tech companies cracked down on the app. Apple and Google banned the app from their stores. Amazon, which hosted the app on its cloud servers, completely shut down the app on Jan.10. By then, Parler may have had about 12 million users. Twitter, by comparison, has about 330 million active monthly users. As soon as Parler was shut down, its users began seeking other social media outlets, Hunter said. Forty-two percent of Parler users have used other social media platforms since the shutdown, including Facebook and Twitter, she said. The overlap between Parler and other social media platforms is the highest on Facebook, with as many as 71 percent of Parler users also using Facebook, Disqo found.

How fast do you cancel streaming services? It’s a problem for Hollywood Los Angeles Times Say you sign up for HBO Max to watch “The Flight Attendant.” The eight-episode season concludes, and you browse for your next binge-viewing fix. Maybe you turn on “Wonder Woman 1984” or rewatch “The Sopranos.” How long before you go to your Apple device’s subscriptions tab and drop the $15-a-month app? A month? A week? A day? That’s the issue facing media and entertainment companies as the battle for streaming audiences settles into a new phase. During 2019 and 2020, studios launched Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock (which has both paid and free tiers), Apple TV+, Discovery+ and others, all betting on original, exclusive programming to draw users. The coronavirus crisis has been a boon for the streaming industry as movie theaters, concert venues and sports arenas continue to suffer. The problem is that, because they are so easy to cancel, those services are seeing a lot of people leave after they finish watching the shows that convinced them to sign up in the first place. That phenomenon, known in the industry as “churn,” is a growing headache in the streaming wars, according to a new report released Monday night by professional services giant Deloitte. According to Deloitte’s survey of 1,100 people in October, 46% of respondents canceled at least one streaming service in the last year. That’s a dramatic increase from the 20% who said in a similar January survey that they’d canceled a service. Of the people surveyed who canceled a streaming subscription, 62% did so because they finished the show or movie that they had signed up to see, Deloitte said.

Federal agencies, states compete to be nation’s fintech regulator Tribune Content Agency A federal banking regulator’s grant of the first national trust bank charter to a cryptocurrency startup may touch off a turf war over which agency is best suited to oversee the burgeoning financial technology market. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a unit of the Treasury Department, on Jan. 13 approved South Dakota-based Anchorage Digital Bank NA to hold cryptocurrencies for customers, making it the first federally regulated bank for digital assets such as Bitcoin. The approval came just days after a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau task force released a 900-page report that recommended Congress authorize the CFPB to issue national licenses to certain fintech firms. Sanford M. Brown, a former OCC attorney who is now a partner with Alston & Bird’s financial services practice group in Dallas, said the task force’s suggestions came “out of the blue,” given that OCC has previously laid the groundwork for fintech licensing. OCC, which oversees the majority of U.S. banks, has issued other types of fintech licenses and launched efforts to promote domestic fintech advances. Brown and others say the OCC’s action and the CFPB’s ambitions put those agencies at odds with each other and with state financial regulators, who say they have primary jurisdiction over fintech firms within their borders. The OCC’s approval means that Anchorage Digital won’t need authorization from financial regulators in each indi-

vidual state. Prior to the approval, the company was licensed in South Dakota to hold client cash deposits and cryptocurrency. Its customers are primarily institutional investors that transact in digital assets, including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and Filecoin. Just who wins the fight for authority of licensing oversight could be decided by Congress. The CFPB task force said lawmakers should shed more light on the OCC’s authority to grant charters to nonbank fintechs. “If Congress elects not to authorize the Bureau to issue federal licenses, it should clarify that the OCC has that authority,” the CFPB-appointed panel said. “This alternative option would ensure that fintechs operating nationwide companies are subject to a single set of laws.” The task force’s recommendation ignited a debate among regulators, attorneys and industry observers about the role of the federal government in licensing fintechs and which agency should be in charge. Alston & Bird’s Brown says there is merit to having one federal agency in charge of chartering fintechs that operate nationwide rather than requiring those firms to obtain 50 separate state licenses. The OCC as a national regulator is better suited for that job than the CFPB, which plays a much smaller role in bank supervision, he said. The OCC has taken significant steps over the past few years to issue national fintech charters, efforts dating to the Obama administration to come up with a viable federal charter system.

State financial regulators have sued the agency, claiming it is overstepping its powers. Those suits are pending. The comptroller’s office balked at the CFPB task force’s suggestion. The day after the task force report came out, then-acting Comptroller Brian P. Brooks said that the nation needs federal charters for fintechs to effectively serve the financial needs of consumers under a single set of rules, and that the OCC is best prepared to issue such licenses. Brooks said federal law gives the OCC the power to grant national charters to companies engaged in lending, payments or deposit-taking. “In its wisdom, Congress in the Dodd-Frank Act separated chartering and prudential supervision from consumer protection enforcement, assigning chartering authority to the OCC and specific consumer protection enforcement authority to the CFPB,” he said. “The additional protections implemented following the last financial crisis put two cops on the beat and separated those responsibilities so neither would be compromised in service to the other. That dynamic should be preserved.” The Conference of State Bank Supervisors, which has taken the OCC to court over its plans to issue national fintech charters, was also critical of the CFPB task force’s report, albeit for different reasons. In a statement, CSBS President John W. Ryan said the report and its recommendations “fail to recognize the critical role that state regulators play in protecting consumers and facilitating safe innovation.”

Yellen: Aid to jobless, small firms ‘biggest bang’ for buck Tribune Content Agency Janet Yellen told lawmakers Tuesday that help for the unemployed and small businesses would provide the “biggest bang for the buck” as she made the case for President-elect Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief plan. She told the Senate Finance Committee, where she’s being vetted in a hearing as Biden’s pick for Treasury secretary, to “act big” in efforts to rescue an economy battered by the coronavirus. “Relief that we provide to those who are in the greatest need and to small businesses” would help the economy most, Yellen said in responding to questions before the committee. Republicans are already balking at Biden’s vast stimulus plan, unveiled last week, over its size and components including longstanding Democratic goals such as raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and expanding family and medical leave. “Now is not the time to enact a laundry list of liberal structural economic reforms,” Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley said in his opening remarks. Sen. Ron Wyden, the Oregon Democrat who will chair the panel when his party assumes control later this week, said his top priority was “avoiding the mistake the Congress made in the last recession – taking a foot off the gas pedal before a recovery took hold.”

Fox: Averaging 20.5 points per game From Page B1 the finding a way to bring it every night,â€? Walton said. â€œIt is hard to play in this league. You play a lot of games, but with that comes a lot of responsibility. Weâ€™re excited about those guys being two of our main guys, but we, as a group, have to find a way to bring that type of energy . . . that winning energy, every time we step on the court.â€? n n n Fox delivered a valiant effort in an attempt to answer Waltonâ€™s call in a 128-123 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday at Golden 1 Center. He erupted for a career-high 43 points and 13 assists with four rebounds and four steals, becoming the franchiseâ€™s first player to post 40 points and 10 assists in a game since Nate â€œTinyâ€? Archibald did it for the Kansas City Royals on March 13, 1973. Fox, 23, couldnâ€™t find much satisfaction in a statistical achievement that came in defeat, but teammates said his performance backed up the recent change in tone they have seen from him behind the scenes. Hield pointed to Foxâ€™s aggressiveness and the way he kept his chest in front of the man he was guarding. â€œThatâ€™s one of the better all-around games Iâ€™ve seen him play his whole career, and thatâ€™s what we

need from him to show he can be that All-Star player that we need,â€? Hield said. â€œTo put on games like this, especially when the offense is down, heâ€™s a guy who can carry the load . . . . The way heâ€™s been carrying himself lately in practices and games and talking and being a leader has been showing. â€œThey always say who is given much, much is required,â€? Hield added, referring to a passage from Luke 12:48. â€œI just think he knows that he can give more than the past games heâ€™s been showing. I think his tone that heâ€™s coming out with and heâ€™s setting for his team is great. In practices, his voice is being heard. You know, like, we heard his voice, but now weâ€™re hearing his voice and heâ€™s just being the leader we need him to be.â€? The Kings want Fox, possibly the fastest point guard in the league, to attack defenses with speed and aggression. Sometimes that means scoring. Sometimes it means making plays for others. Part of the challenge for Fox is finding the right balance from night to night. â€œI kind of a lot of times pick and choose my spots,â€? Fox said. â€œIâ€™ve been told that I need to do it more â€“ more often than not.â€? Walton said Fox was exceptionally good against the Pelicans. â€œHe did a masterful job of getting in the paint,

creating pace opportunities, creating open looks for other people and then scoring when we needed scoring,â€? Walton said. â€œSo much of the fourth-quarter games will come down to somebody just finding a way to get buckets. I thought Deâ€™Aaron did that at a very elite level tonight.â€? n n n Fox has been the face of the franchise since the Kings selected him out of Kentucky with the No. 5 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, but leadership is an acquired trait in the NBA. In a moment of reflection following the game against New Orleans, Fox talked about the process of becoming a leader as an emerging young star in a locker room with veteran voices. The biggest lesson he has learned about leading an NBA team? â€œThat it takes a lot,â€? Fox said. â€œThis ainâ€™t easy. You can talk about what you did in high school and in college, but you take it to a totally different level if you want to be one of those guys in this league. Itâ€™s much more than just being able to score the ball. Itâ€™s much more than just being able to get an assist or get guys in the right positions. â€œIt takes a lot to be a leader and to be one of the best players in this league, and I think I struggled with it the first couple weeks of this year, but itâ€™s something that you have to learn. Itâ€™s not some-

thing that youâ€™re just born with or anything like that. You have to learn how to do that in this league and I think Iâ€™m getting better at it.â€? Fox is averaging 20.5 points and 5.8 assists, down slightly from his 2019-20 totals. He shot 42.5% from the field and 31% from 3-point range over the first seven games. Over the past seven games, he shot 53.6% from the field and 37.9% from beyond the arc. Hield has improved his numbers as well, shooting 42.9% from 3-point range over the past four games after shooting 33% over the first 10 games. â€œI definitely needed to play better,â€? Fox said. â€œI donâ€™t think Iâ€™ve come out this season playing that well or playing to where anybody here is expecting me to play, so, yeah, I know I need to be a lot better. I think thereâ€™s more offensively and defensively that Iâ€™m able to do.â€? Fox may not have felt a need to assert himself this way as the Kings went 3-1 to begin the season, but he recognizes it now. â€œWe started the season well, but obviously itâ€™s a long season and weâ€™re in one of those downhill moments,â€? Fox said. â€œAs a point guard and as one of the leaders on the team, I know Iâ€™ve needed to be more vocal, whether itâ€™s in a huddle, in the locker room, in practice. I know I have to step up even more.â€?
