Council joins joint powers authority for housing project Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The City Council was willing to “take a leap of faith” and at least try to do something to address low- and moderateincome housing needs. The council, on a 5-1 vote with CounCatherine cilwoman Moy dissenting and Councilwoman Pam Bertani absent from the vote, agreed to join a joint powers authority with the Community Improvement Authority of the California Statewide Communities Development Authority and “enter into a public benefit agreement for the issuance of bonds associated with acquiring Waterscape Apartments for the provision of moderate-income housing,”

the staff report to the council states. The Waterscape Apartments are located at 3001 N. Texas St. Moy, who attended the meeting remotely, had issues with the lack of oversight the city had with the project. Bertani, who also attended remotely, was present for the early part of the meeting, but missed several late votes. It was not immediately clear if she left the meeting or there were technical issues. Other members of the council would have liked to have seen more city control with the project, but indicated that there is always a lot of talk about acting on affordable housing, but not that much action.

VACAVILLE — The Vacaville School District is testing out a new pilot program this school year that allows any high school student who chooses to do so to leave campus during the lunch hour. All secondary schools are continuing to offer free lunches on campus and many students are taking advantage of that opportunity, school district officials report. But allowing students to leave, if they choose, makes for quicker food distribution on campus and more adequate physical spacing to deal with Covid-19 concerns, school officials said. “It’s been so far, so good,” said

Frantic rescue underway in Kabul, but WH can’t say how long it will last Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Biden administration officials said Tuesday the rescue operation underway to evacuate American citizens and vulnerable Afghan nationals from Kabul was evidence of its commitment to resolve a growing humanitarian crisis, but they would not guarantee the effort would continue beyond the end of the month. That could leave thou-

sands of Afghans who served alongside U.S. forces over the last 20 years behind, at risk of violent retribution from the country’s new Taliban leadership.

Ed Santopadre, assistant superintendent for education services. “We haven’t compared any of the data yet, but I think they are starting to figure out if they want to go off-campus or stay for the free lunch.” The Vacaville School District Governing Board recently set the new open campus policy. The idea is to give students “an opportunity to demonstrate responsibility, independent judgment and positive citizenship,” according to

district officials. Those who choose to leave the school site are not under the jurisdiction of the district while they are off-campus. “Students that have an open campus policy are hereby notified that . . . neither the school district nor any officer or employee thereof shall be liable for the conduct or safety of any student during such time as the student has left the school grounds during the lunch period,” Education Code Section 44808.5 states.

a few practical backcountry “survival” skills; some learned through research and mentoring by experienced mountaineers, and some learned the hard way (there are always a few fatheads like me who learn the most important skills the hard way). Here are a few of my “favorites”: n Never chase a bear that ravages your campsite and eats your air mattress. n Zip up your tent every time you leave it. n Never go to bed with a Snickers bar in your shirt pocket. n Never wear open-toed sandals when hiking over sharp granite trails. n Don’t forget to bring Ibuprofen and Band-Aids. n Always bring a second pair of pants into the wilderness. n Never pour vodka on a campfire. n Don’t climb up what you can’t climb down. So hiking down the mountain, hard lessons notwithstanding, my “professor” brain actually conjured up some reasonably sober notions. n The wilderness is both tough and fragile. It can harm you if you are careless or irresponsible. You can harm it by being careless

and irresponsible. n The wilderness is a great equalizer. No matter who you are or where you come from, the “rules” for surviving in the wilderness are the same. n Living in the wilderness, even for a few days, will teach you things about yourself that you may not experience (or realize) elsewhere (e.g., perseverance, resilience, adaptability, resourcefulness, tolerance for discomfort, etc.). n When you come prepared with the requisite knowledge, skills and equipment, the wilderness is the safest place on Earth. n Always leave the wilderness cleaner than it was when you arrived. The wilderness belongs to all of us. The joys of living in the wilderness also belong to all of us. Just as I got to my car, it dawned on me that surviving in the wilderness isn’t all that different from everyday life (metaphorically, that is).

Solano reports 1st deaths from latest Covid surge, 5 new overall Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Three Solano County residents have died, at least in part, due to the Covid-19 surge that started shortly after July 4. Each was unvaccinated, the Solano County Public Health Division reported. “So these are the first fatalities from this surge . . . and it is hard to imagine there won’t be more,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview Monday. “A lot of people have been hospitalized.” The 129 residents in area hospitals due to Covid-19, as of Monday, is the highest number since the surge began. Thirty of those residents are in intensive care units, representing about half of all ICU patients. “So hospital impact is significant,” Matyas said. The most recent of the three fatalities occurred Aug. 2. There was one man who was between 50 and 65; one man was older than 65; and one

FAIRFIELD — A TriCity NAACP Pop-Up Vaccination Clinic is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Bethel woman who was older than 65. All lived at home, the county reported. Prior to these deaths, the most recent fatalities include one in May and one in June. Two other deaths reported Monday were from last year, taking the pandemic total to 259. Both – one man, one woman – were described as “very elderly,” Matyas said. Each lived at home as well.

Fairfield targets spectators of illegal speed exhibitions Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Anyone who feels the need to watch illegal speed demonstrations will soon be in violation of Fairfield’s Municipal Code. The City Council on Tuesday introduced an ordinance that “prohibits spectators at illegal speed contests, exhibitions of speed, or sideshows.” “Sideshows and street racing events have become a consistent issue for law enforcement. Larger cities in the Bay Area and the Central Valley have seen

an increase in the frequency of these illegal street racing activities,” a staff report to the council states. “Street racing threatens the health and safety of the public, interferes with pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and creates a public nuisance. In addition, there have been numerous examples of these events being accompanied by gunfire, which often result in death and serious injuries.” Capt. Brad Collins told the council the department receives about 900 calls annually about

reckless driving, though not all are for speed exhibitions. He noted that a passenger in a car participating in such an event was seriously injured in March in a head-on collision. The ordinance would create a misdemeanorlevel offense punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. It could also be judged as an infraction. Fairfield police Lt. Jausiah Jacobsen said in an interview that the speed shows have become an almost weekly problem

New PAL Center site part of $5.6M in ARPA allocations Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The City Council on Tuesday allocated $5.6 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds toward three projects, the largest of which is $3.1 million for the Heart of Fairfield West Texas Street Relief Sewer Project. Another $1.5 million was allocated for a Fairfield homeless navigation center, specifically at the Shelter Solano, and $1 million will be used for the acquisition of prop-

erty to relocate the Police Activities League Center, a staff report to the council states. The current PAL Center is located at 2195 Union Ave. The city had a proposed site in mind, but that property was taken off the market, so no specific site has been selected, and the final cost is unknown. The council had designated the uses at its July 13 meeting. The action follows the dedication of $10 million toward broadband improvements and expansion in the city.

The expenditures leave untouched $4.2 million of the nearly $19.81 million in ARPA funds the city is to receive. In other action, the council: n Accepted the results of the special annexation election and approved the annexation of the BMW of Fairfield property to Community Facilities District No. 2012-2 for public safety services, open space operations and park maintenance. n Formally denied See PAL, Page A6

SUISUN CITY — Albert Enault, an associate planner with the city of Vacaville, is Suisun City’s newest planning commissioner. Mayor Lori Wilson announced the appointTuesday’s ment at council meeting. A second commissioner will be appointed at a future meeting. There was not enough time to finish all interviews for the post, Wilson said.

Fire danger warning in effect through Wednesday Blackouts to limit possibility of utility-sparked wildfires Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A fire danger warning has been issued in much of Central Solano County with the scope of PG&E’s possible forced blackouts expanding. The designated red flag warning for fire risk was in effect throughout the region Tuesday evening and remains in effect through Wednesday evening. The risk of fire is extremely high, according to assistant director of the Solano Office of Emergency Services Robyn Rains. “The LNU Lightning Complex fire started right around this time last year and many areas have still been impacted by that,” Rains said. Residents are encouraged to refrain from any activities that might cause a spark. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection offers tips on how to be prepared at readyforwildfire.org. Winds are expected to be consistently 15 to 20 miles an hour in some parts with gusts upwards of 35 mph, according to the National Weather Service office in Sacramento. Winds could be as

high as 45 to 55 mph in the highest elevations. The minimum humidity is also 9 to 15% which, combined with high winds, dry brush and warm weather, increases the potential for rapid fire spread. Pacific Gas & Electric Company has expanded the scope of its preemptive blackouts to include 1,093 customers in unincorporated portions of Solano County (774 in rural Vacaville, 159 in rural Fairfield and 160 in rural Suisun City). Check the PG&E website at pge.com for homes in the affected areas. PG&E has set up a resource center at Vacaville campus of Solano Community College where residents can receive items like blankets, water, air conditioning/heating, Wi-Fi, charging stations and more. It opened Tuesday evening and will be available throughout the day Wednesday. The city of Fairfield has called for closures at Rockville Hills Regional Park, Spyglass Open and Serpas Spaces Ranch/Rolling Hills Open Spaces. They will remain closed through sunrise Thursday.

1942 — 2021

Deacon Gary Richard McSwain passed away at home in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on Aug. 15, 2021, after a long illness surrounded by his family. He was 78.

He grew up in the Bay Area, raised by his mother and Ken Crawford, the man he called ‘Dad.’ At Mare Island Naval Shipyard, he was an electronic technician for most of his 31 years. He was active with the Sports Car Club of Vallejo, which led to a blind date with Lillian, who he would marry and raise four children. They relocated to Fairfield, where they were active in community pursuits including Scouting. A lifelong Roman Catholic, Gary was a Eucharistic minister and lector as well as a leader in Marriage Encounter and the Handicapped Encounter Christ ministry.

Police cite many drivers at recent checkpoint Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield Police DepartCalifornia ment, Highway Patrol and the Solano County Probation Department had a busy driving under the influence and driver’s license checkpoint located Friday on eastbound Air Base Parkway at Dover Avenue. More than 1,400 vehicles were screened by officers, according to a press release from the Fairfield Police Department. There were 17 administered standardized field sobriety tests that resulted in five DUI arrests, two misdemeanor arrests, 22 citations issued for unlicensed or suspended drivers and eight vehicles were towed. “Our purpose is to reduce harm by advancing safety, service and the quality of life in Fairfield for all,” Sgt. Robert Piro said in a press release. “We are looking for impaired drivers because driving under

the influence is dangerous and puts others on the road at risk.” The Fairfield police remind drivers that DUI doesn’t just mean alcohol. Prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, might lead to impairment enough to get a DUI. Marijuana can also cause impairment, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, the Police Department press release stated. Drivers caught driving while impaired and charged with DUI can expect to spend upwards of $13,500, according to data from Fairfield police. This includes fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses, not to mention possible jail time. Funding for these enforcement efforts are provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

ROCKVILLE — Classes began Monday at Solano Community College and its satellite campuses with some in-person learning but the bulk of the roughly 9,000 students being served online. “Putting major protocol in place has been a full-time job with the way the virus has picked up again,” Superintendent and President Celia Esposito-Noy said. “We are working hard to make sure everyone stays healthy.” Stronger filters have been added to air conditioning units around There are campus. many sanitation stations and masks are required indoors. said Esposito-Noy that the highly protective N-95 masks have also been made available.

There will also be some hybrid situations with lectures taking place online and labs happening with students working in smaller groups on campus. “It’s nice to see things going smoothly, especially with so much uncertainty,” Esposito-Noy said. “It’s nice to see all our hard work is paying off to keep students safe. We have had zero (Covid) cases related to the college and we want to keep it that way.” Farisha Hussein, 28, of Fairfield, is one of the

students in the nursing program. She’s back at Solano College this semester after working for the past two years at a local hospital. She’s a double major – business is her other emphasis – and was on the Rockville campus Monday to check on the availability of guidance counselors. “I took a break and now I’m back,” she said. “Now I’m back to finish up.” Esposito-Noy did say that student enrollment might be down about 6% but the college will continue to track those numbers throughout the first week. Students tend to make adds and drops during the first week and some others may just be realizing that school has started and are still trying to sign up. Solano Community College has served Solano County since 1945 when it was founded as Vallejo Junior College. The college moved to its present Rockville site in the early 1970s and during normal years serves nearly 10,000 students through-

out the academic year. In addition to the main campus in rural Fairfield, the college offers general education classes and the bachelor’s degree in biomanufacturing at the Vacaville Center. The Vallejo Center offers general education classes and the degree completion program with Sonoma State University. The Automotive Technology building is located one block above the Vallejo Center. Solano College also offers courses at Travis Air Force Base and hosts an aeronautics program at the Nut Tree Airport. Solano Community College offers associate degrees and certificates, and transferable courses to California State University and University of California campuses. Solano College also offers a variety of career and technical education classes, programs and certifications and is one of 15 California community colleges to offer a bachelor’s degree. Late registration began Tuesday.

Police also were able to cite one of two drivers who recently left the Solano Town Center parking lot and appeared to be racing each other as they weaved in and out of traffic. Jacobsen is careful to disassociate these illegal activities with the various auto clubs that meet. “It’s a clear difference from the auto clubs that get together and the sideshows,” Jacobsen said. The city’s new ordinance appears to be in line with other cities. “In response to illegal street racing and sideshow activities, a number of cities have adopted ordinances banning spectators at street racing events.

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

RIO VISTA — The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has created a new Science Division manager’s post for the Bay-Delta Office and filled it with someone out of its own ranks. Joshua Israel, who holds a doctorate in ecology israel from the University of California, Davis, began his career with the bureau as a fish biologist and most recently served as a supervisory natural resource specialist in the Bay-Delta Office. “Advancing reliable science is critical to continuing to improve the operation of the Central Valley Project and adapting our practices to meet

our fish and wildlife, water supply and power generation project purposes into the future,” David Mooney, manager for the Bay-Delta Area Office, said in a statement released Monday. “Josh’s record on leading teams to develop and apply collaborative approaches to meet the needs of fish and wildlife makes him ideally suited to this role.” Israel will help to manage the “complex interagency and intergovernmental activities for the operation of coordinated state and federal facilities, as well as Reclamation’s restoration and recovery responsibilities,” the bureau statement said.

It is supported by the Keeping Everyone Safe VI grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety. To register call for the class, call 428-2100. The connection to the Zoom session will then be made available.

‘Field of Dreams’ to become a streaming series Tribune Content Agency Film it and they will watch. That’s the game plan for a streaming series inspired by the 1989 baseball classic “Field of Dreams,” which starred Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones and Amy Madigan. Variety reports NBC’s Peacock streaming service has greenlit the show being penned by Michael Schurr, whose resume includes “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation.” “Through the years, ‘Field of Dreams’ has remained a fan favorite, maintaining its rightful position in the zeitgeist,” NBCUniversal Television and Streaming president Lisa Katz said. Katz says that like

the film that was nominated for three Academy Award but struck out, the streaming series will be both “whimsical and grounded.” Yankees fans were treated to a look back at “Field of Dreams” last week when Major League Baseball arranged a game between the Bronx Bombers and the Chicago White Sox in a Dyersville, Iowa, cornfield where the film was set. The White Sox won on a walkoff home run, which was viewed by more fans than any baseball game since 2005. Costner was in attendance. Amazon is reportedly working on a series based on the 1992 film “A League of Their Own,” which starred Geena Davis and Tom Hanks.

Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Inside your own realm, you have a strong sense of purpose, but you may feel less sure in foreign territory. Make a goal of maintaining your resolve in every environment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In dealing with strangers, you are unthinkingly – though unfailingly – alert to the full range of things that can happen. Interactions will go in an interesting direction. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What’s good for one person might be harmful to the next. Some need to let loose, while others should tighten the reins. The only one who really knows what feels good to you is you. Ask yourself, and then listen. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are those who avoid saying, “I love you” in fear that words can only reduce the power of such an epic emotion. Today’s actions will be an unmistakable indication of your feelings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Too much introspection is draining. You are energized by projecting yourself, connecting and interacting in the exterior world. You’ll be especially lucky with activities that are unrelated to what’s on your mind. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Self-indulgence is a necessary part of life. Without pleasure, you’ll be depressed and unmotivated. Since too much pleasure becomes pain, finding and living in the sweet spot is an art. You’ll nail it today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

on the job. “Middlewoman’s” friend may have quoted a lower price for a friend of a friend. If she later learns she is expected to pay a referral fee, that could mean she makes no profit at all. Communicating expectations is the key. I agree with you that a friend should not charge a fee for recommending a friend. If the two friends are in the same line of business and one refers a client to another because, for some reason, they cannot do the job themselves, then a referral fee might be appropriate. That does not seem to be the case here. It did not cost “Middlewoman” anything to mention a name. — Need to Be Clear Dear Need to Be Clear: Thank you for your letter. Communication from the beginning is always a good way to ensure smooth sailing down the road, and expecting others to read your mind is always a prescription for misunderstanding.

Today’s birthday Your wish will be tied up in a bow and handed to you. Despite your mixed feelings about being the center of attention, you’ll love the sweetness showered on you over the next 10 weeks. Second chances for relationships will happen in 2022, as well as a change in the way you make money. Capricorn and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 4, 44, 19 and 32.

someone else’s. The energy of progress will permeate the atmosphere and you’ll soon see improvement all around. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you give your trust, it’s not really for the other person; it’s so you can get on with your life. It will be a relief when someone meets your test, so you can relax the scrutiny and just go with the flow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). There’s a reason therapists get paid. Hearing the unedited version of people’s stories can be work. It’s why you share on a need-to-know basis with only a select few. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Disloyalty sets off alarm bells. People relax around people who seem rooted. Highlight the good parts of your history. Remember who brought you to the dance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Handle concerns having to do with sales, leads,

revenues and profits. The good fortune will carry over to more personal areas of your life. Tonight, relating to those older than you will be lucky. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not always the case, but right now, your own quest is as worthy of following as any royal decree, and certainly more important to tend to than what your friends and loved ones want. Make yourself the priority. COSMIC QUESTION: “I have been looking for a job for the last six months. My problem is that I tend to clam up in the interview. So far, I have been extremely qualified – or maybe overqualified – for many of the jobs I’ve applied for, and yet I haven’t been called for a second interview. I think I may be a victim of ageism. What is a 60-year-old Virgo to do?” A 60-year-old Virgo is to work on those interview skills. You are thorough, organized and will respond well to a checklist approach. Start with the basics on your interview checklist: impeccable professional attire; doing your homework on the company for which you are applying; eye contact; body confidence; your verbal resume in a concise paragraph; warmth and professionalism; answers to the most common interview questions... etc. Spend time on creating your checklist and devote yourself to executing each item. Remember that looking for a job is essentially a full-time job. Be willing to put the time in. As the sun comes into your realm, you’re unstoppable!

A GOOD REASON, EVEN BEFORE RKCB One of the most underrated bridge books was “On Bidding” by Alan Truscott and You Can Guess Who! It was published in 1990 by Fireside, a subsidiary of Simon & Schuster, and bizarrely not reprinted after the initial run sold out quickly. But to be honest, that was a lightly edited version of “Morehead on Bidding” by Albert Morehead, which

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder came out in 1964. The groundbreaking discourse about suit fits went effectively untouched. Today’s deal is taken from this chapter. What do you think of the given auction, using regular Blackwood? Would it have helped if North-South had been using Roman Key Card Blackwood, when North’s five-heart reply would have shown two key cards (two aces or, as here, one ace and the spade king) and denied the spade queen? The deal was played in a seven-table all-expert game. Four pairs reached five spades, and three got to six spades! Each declarer lost two spades and one heart. However, they couldn’t really grumble about the bad spade split when they were cold for six clubs in the 5-3 fit. In six clubs after, say, two rounds of hearts, South must just be careful to ruff a diamond on the board before drawing trumps. In the given auction, South contravened one of the “rules” of Blackwood in that he did not bid a slam despite missing only one ace. Morehead argues that South should have feared a weak trump holding in spades and should have bid six clubs over five diamonds to offer an alternative contract. This would be clear-cut using RKCB if – a big if – partner would read it as such, not as a grand-slam try for spades. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

From Page One want to leave Afghanistan. He declined to say whether rescue operations would continue beyond Aug. 31, the president’s deadline for the Pentagon to complete the final drawdown of U.S. troops. “I’m not going to comment on hypotheticals,” Sullivan said. “I’m going to stay focused on the task at hand, which is getting as many people out as rapidly as possible, and we will take that day by day.” As the Taliban onslaught barreled into Kabul last weekend, faster than the administration had anticipated, the president dispatched U.S. forces to the capital to secure the airport and carry out a rescue mission. The swift mobilization of the 82nd Airborne, Sullivan said, showed the administration had, as Biden said in a defiant speech Monday, planned “for every contingency.” Republicans and Democrats contend, however, that the necessity of the eleventh-hour rescue operation revealed Biden hadn’t. More than 4,000 American troops have arrived in Kabul, according to the Pentagon. The U.S. military evacuated over 1,100 U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents and their families Tuesday, for a total of 3,200 people airlifted out of Afghanistan, the White House said. Nearly 2,000 other Afghans who assisted the U.S. military and government have been relocated to the U.S., the administration said. It’s unclear how many individuals can be evacuated in just two weeks. More than

Housing From Page One “Obviously, we are taking a leap into the unknown . . . but I think we owe it to our workforce,” Councilwoman Doriss Panduro said. The project will convert 180 one- and two-bedroom units into 60 affordable units “restricted to households making at or below 80% of area median income, 60 units at 100% (area median income), and 60 units at 120% (area median income).” The average savings in

Passengers enter the departures terminal of the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, July 17. 11,000 American citizens are in Afghanistan, to White according House press secretary Jen Psaki. And at least 30,000 Afghan nationals who aided the U.S. effort over the last two decades are desperate to flee the country. “Our plan is to safely evacuate the people who worked with us,” Sullivan said. “We are making provisions to have them come to the airport and get on evacuation flights. ... That is what we are going to do between now and the end of the month.” Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., called the response “unacceptable” in a blistering statement. “The White House’s politically driven timetable cannot outweigh American lives,” he said. “America’s message, to our friends and to the Taliban, should be crystal clear: We will move heaven and earth to get every last American in Afghanistan back to American soil, period. That’s the only answer.” A bipartisan group of 44 lawmakers, in an open letter, urged the president to extend the deadline for a full withdrawal and to “stay as long as nec-

essary” to evacuate not just those who assisted the U.S. military and government but all “vulnerable Afghans.” The letter, written by Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., said it would be “unconscionable and devastating to our credibility to leave our allies behind, given the commitments we have made.” Although Sullivan said Tuesday that the State Department had “accelerated” the process for special immigrant visas, relatively few applicants have successfully navigated a bureaucratic thicket that’s been complicated by the rushed drawdown of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. Late Monday night, Biden freed up $500 million from an emergency fund for refugees to respond to crisis. On the Tuesday, a bipartisan group of 46 senators (43 Democrats and three Republicans) urged the administration in a letter to create a new category of “humanitarian parole” for Afghan women, civil leaders and others who are especially vulnerable to the Taliban. They also urged the White House

to “streamline the paperwork process to allow for fast, humane and efficient relocation to the United States.” A successful airlift of tens of thousands of Afghans could allow Biden to tamp down the intense criticism, at least from Democrats, over the clear miscalculations of the withdrawal. But it’s unclear how far the administration is willing to go to ensure that Biden makes good on his vow not to leave America’s wartime allies behind. Echoing the president, who in Monday’s address accepted responsibility for the withdrawal but not the messy exit, Sullivan focused on his boss’ rationale for ending the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan. “We’re all contending with the human costs of these developments,” he said, acknowledging the “heartbreaking” images seen in recent days of Afghans grabbing onto the fuselage and wheels of a departing C-17. “But President Biden had to think about the human cost of (keeping forces in Afghanistan) as well.”

rent is $200 per unit, the council was told. Most of the savings will be at the lowest end. The Series A bond is proposed for $77.55 million, and a Series B bond is proposed for $3 million to cover acquisition, transaction and developer fees for the project, the staff report states. The bonds would be paid off using rent income over 30 years. The property could be transferred to a nonprofit after year 15. While the city would not be obligated for any upfront costs or payment on the debt, as part of the authority, the property

would become exempt from property tax. “This means that all taxing entities (city, county, school district, etc.) forgo (receiving) property taxes,” the staff report states. “The tax revenue loss creates a public subsidy to the project which makes the authority’s program structure feasible. With the reduction in operating cost to the property due to elimination of property tax, rents may be reduced for qualifying households. The proforma provided by the developer suggests total rent savings of $441,960 assuming all restricted units versus current market rents,”

the report states. The estimated loss to the city in property taxes is $79,811 in the first year, $1.4 million after 15 years and $3.2 million from the full term. If the property is sold, the city would benefit, up to $16.5 million from year 15 to year 30. Those proceeds would be shared with other taxing entities. While the city staff did not offer a recommendation, its presentation expressed a number of concerns about local control and actual valuation of the property and value to the city and other tax entities.

puses during the lunch period, or they will be subject to school discipline,” Rich said in his letter. “School administration may revoke this privilege for any student based on school discipline, off-campus behavior issues, or excessive attendance problems. Students with excessive attendance problems may also lose eligibility for athletics and extracurricular activities.”

Santopadre jokingly said on the first day “a million kids left” and that on the second day the number was far fewer. “Our free lunch program has also been a positive,” Santopadre said. “It’s really good food and it’s fresh.” Families can share their views on any number of topics with school officials. “We have a thought exchange program, like

Facebook, where parents can post comments and give ideas,” Santopadre said. “I think it will work out. It’s been a good start to the pilot program.” Santopadre said one local principal was initially concerned with the program, only to see students at Andrews Park enjoying quiet meals in small groups and deemed it a success.

tion Center. Katie Lee heads up the Public Safety Academy after being an assistant principal there. “My expectation is that we will provide the best quality education for our students as possible under these circumstances,” Corey said. “I also want us to find joy in our schools and in our work. The social connection is so important, so I want us to focus on building those relationships and supporting our students as they deal with yet another new situation thanks to this pandemic.” Corey said that some parents have continued to be concerned about sending their children to

school. The delta variant of the novel coronavirus spreads very quickly, she said, and has been reported to affect children more than the other variants. Some parents have also expressed that their children may be in close proximity to others who have yet to be vaccinated. And others are concerned with sending their children to school with the mask requirement, she said. But Corey continues to confirm that every possible safety caution has been put into place and the health of all students and faculty will be regularly monitored. Corey also said there

has been an increase in interest in independent study. She said there has been particular interest at the elementary level where the Virtual Academy enrollment increases significantly each day. “We have added teachers to this program to support the increased enrollment,” she said. “The new legislation that just came out in the past few weeks forced districts to change their previous independent study programs and practices. Because this is all new, we are unsure of all of the impacts that this legislation will have on our enrollment and employee workload.”

In Year 2 of his NFL encore, Gronk not ready to chill just yet B2 Wednesday, August 18, 2021  SECTION B  Paul Farmer . Sports Editor . 427.6926

49ers cut ties with backup QB Josh Rosen Tribune Content Agency Three days after quarterback Josh Rosen suggested some of his training-camp struggles were due to his lack of practice snaps, the 49ers waived the No. 10 pick in the 2018 draft who had previously been traded by the Cardinals and Dolphins and left unprotected on the practice squad by the Buccaneers. Rosen, 24, was cut loose after an unimpressive camp and a

performance in the preseason opener Saturday that included a 55.7 passer rating and ugly red-zone interception. After the 19-16 loss to the Chiefs, Rosen was asked about head coach Kyle Shanahan’s assessment that he’d taken a step back during training camp. “I don’t really get many reps in practice,” Rosen said, “so you just have to sort of weather the emotional roller coaster when one or two out of your three throws in live team

reps aren’t very good.” Rosen’s release clears a spot for Nate Sudfeld, if the 49ers keep three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster. Neither Sudfeld nor Rosen has taken a snap during team drills in the last two practices. Rosen, who has a 3-13 record as a starter, ranks last in completion percentage (54.8), yards per attempt (5.7) and passer rating (63.5) among the 42 QBs who have thrown at least 500 passes since 2018.

The 49ers filled Rosen’s roster spot by claiming cornerback Davontae Harris, 26, off waivers. Harris, a 2018 fifth-round pick of the Bengals, has played 30 games (eight starts) in a career spent with Cincinnati, Denver and Baltimore. QB review: Trey Lance regressed with his accuracy Saturday in his NFL debut, which Shanahan attributed partly to the excitement of his first game. But it continued during

practice Tuesday. The rookie quarterback completed 9 of 15 passes during team drills, but four of his incompletions were wayward throws to open targets. His uneven practice ended with an underthrown pass to wide receiver Jauan Jennings, who had a step on strong safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix for a would-be 34-yard touchdown grab. ClintonDix was able to leap and bat the pass away. Lance’s other offtarget tosses came on

Armijo High wide receiver King Holmes runs the ball during practice at Brownlee Field, Tuesday. The skill positions are a strength this season for the Royals, who

open their first complete season under head coach Don Mosley on Friday against El Camino of Sacramento. They went 0-4 during the recent spring campaign.

Royals hope improvement adds up to successful 2021 season PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Football is a game of numbers, and second-year Armijo High football coach Don Mosley has done the math. It’s been 84 years since the Royals, then known as the Indians, made the postseason, the longest playoff drought in the Sac-Joaquin Section and possibly the state. But Mosley isn’t concerned about what the previous 83 Armijo teams did or didn’t do, just what he’d like to see this year’s squad accomplish. “Our goals for this season are to win eight games and go to the playoffs,” said Mosley, whose team went 0-4 in the Covid-delayed spring season. The Royals return nine start-

ers, led by Dameion Regalado (wide receiver/defensive back), Kaiba Washington (quarterback/ WR/DB), David Singleton (running back/linebacker)/ Dominick Brackfield (offensive and defensive lines), Kendrick Salcico (OL/DL) and Jordan Brown (OL/DL). Eddie Concepcion-Garcia is at quarterback with Singleton and Isiah Medina competing for a starting spot at running back. “Our strength is our skill positions,” Mosley said. “Our guys have worked their butts off since the spring season ended and have made great improvements in their strength and technique. They continually built off of what they accomplished in each phase of See Royals, Page B10

The Oakland A’s lost to 9-0 to the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, but baseball was a secondary concern on this day. While the A’s suffered their sixth shutout, the game’s starter Chris Bassitt was in the hospital after taking Brian Goodwin’s line drive to the side of his face. Bassitt left Guaranteed Rate Field on an ambulance after the second-inning incident; the 32-year-old was bleeding heavily from his face, but stood up on his own power and was ‘conscious and aware,’ the A’s said in a statement. “Bass is conscious,” A’s manager Bob Melvin

Warriors set to play at Lakers on opening night, at Phoenix on Christmas No one knows for certain whether the Warriors will return to championship contention next season, but TV executives certainly think Stephen Curry and company will still demand a lot of attention. The NBA announced Tuesday that the Warriors will tip off the season at 7 p.m. Oct. 19 against the Lakers in Los Angeles and will travel to Phoenix on Christ-

mas for a 2 p.m. game against the Western Conference champion Suns – two nationally televised marquee matchups that show the Warriors’ drawing power remains. The Warriors have failed to reach the playoffs in consecutive injury-plagued seasons after a dynastic run of five straight trips to the NBA Finals, and much of a potential return to glory hinges on the health of Klay Thompson. The All-Star shooting guard is expected to be back from ACL and

said after the game. “He was the entire time. We don’t think the eye is a problem at this point. It felt like it was below it. He’s got some cuts. They had to do some stitches. He’s in a scan and we’ll know more about potential fractures tomorrow or later tonight.” Melvin took no further questions from reporters after the statement. Bassitt’s teammates looked on horrified as their team leader writhed in pain on the mound. Seeing him carted off weighed heavy. “There was a dark cloud around that game the whole time,” White See A’s, Page B10

easier attempts. He sailed screen passes high to wide receiver Nsimba Webster and JaMycal Hasty and misfired on a short, on-themove throw to running back Trey Sermon after he was flushed from the pocket. Lance began the session with his best throw: He rolled right and fired a 35-yard completion to wide receiver Travis Benjamin along the right sideline. Several offensive

Achilles injuries that cost him the past two seasons, but how well and how much he can play could drastically alter the season. He likely won’t be back for the openingnight showdown against the Lakers, who displayed their win-now mentality this offseason by adding Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony to LeBron James and Anthony Davis. This will mark just the fourth time in 20 years that the Warriors will

open a season on the road and the first time they’ve traveled for an opener in consecutive seasons since a seven-year stretch from 1989-95. It’ll be the Warriors’ 11th Christmas appearance in the past 12 years, having lost to the eventual NBA champion Bucks in Milwaukee last season. The Warriors haven’t played consecutive road Christmas games since four straight holiday games in Portland from 1977-80.

SAN FRANCISCO — It’s far too soon to mention Logan Webb in the same breath as the greatest Giants homegrown pitching stars, but for a franchise that’s spent the last decade trying to draft and develop the team’s next ace, Webb sure is giving everyone a lot to dream about. With 7 1/3 strong innings against the Mets on Tuesday, Webb continued to establish himself as an up-andcoming star as he led the Giants to a 3-2 seriesclinching win. It will take years of sustained excellence for Webb to begin drawing comparisons to Matt

Cain, Tim Lincecum and Madison Bumgarner, but the Giants’ 2014 fourth-round draft pick has performed so well this summer that it’s increasingly easy for president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and manager Gabe Kapler to envision Webb pitching at the front of the rotation well into the future. Webb’s 7 1/3 innings set a career high and he likely would have had a chance to finish Tuesday’s game had Mets first baseman Pete Alonso not ruined an otherwise spectacular performance with a two-run home run to pull New York within See Giants, Page B2

In Year 2 of his NFL encore, Gronk not ready to chill just yet Tribune Content Agency

TAMPA, Fla. — The extended encore of Rob Gronkowski’s pro career has been equal parts sweltering and surreal. Which is to say, worth every sweat bead so far. “Yes, it was a great decision (to come out of retirement), and I’m definitely glad I’m still playing,” the 32-year-old Hall of Fame-bound tight end said Tuesday. “It’s a grind at times, but overall it pays off.” Sixteen months after emerging from a 13-month retirement, Gronkowski enters his 11th NFL season a bit more acclimated to the bay area heat and far more acclimated to an evolving Bucs playbook. Grinding through his first full preseason since 2018, he has appeared sharp, exuberant, dogged, and most of all, healthy. “He has a better idea of what we’re doing,” offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said. “Obviously he’s in better shape, he knows what to expect down here in the heat. He’s a big guy, so this heat’s always going to get to him. . . . But he’s working through it. He’s a pro; there’s a reason he is who he is. He knows how to work himself through these moments, through these tough moments, to make sure he’s ready to roll.” Whether he equals or exceeds his 45-reception total of 2020 is uncertain, and based on the circumstances, probably irrelevant. Still coveted as a blocker, Gronkowski also will be complemented by the return of fellow tight end O.J. Howard from a torn Achilles. The addition of targets such as rookie Jaelon Darden and pass-catching tailback Giovani Bernard also could affect his bottom line. Not his zeal. “It’s night and day kind of, from where I was last year in training camp to where I am now,” Gronkowski said. “Just how much we’re evolving with the playbook, knowing the plays, knowing where to be, everything like that – it just feels a lot better this year. It’s a tremendous improvement, I feel like, for myself.” Bucs add O-lineman, waive two To address their depth issue on the offensive line, the Bucs signed former Wake Forest standout Jake Benzinger. An undrafted free agent in 2020, Benzinger had a brief training camp stint with the Cardinals last summer and signed a futures contract with the Colts in January before

some starting linemen – a move he hopes to avoid – in Saturday’s preseason game against the Titans.

Third-round draft choice Robert Hainsey remains out with an unspecified injury, and second-year guard Sadarius Hutcherson (knee) has been placed on injured reserve. Additionally, the team waived injured rookie center Donell Stanley. Veteran Earl Watford, signed last week to help offset the injuries, played 23 snaps Saturday against the Bengals despite only one practice. Elsewhere, the Bucs also waived receiver John Franklin III following a failed physical, trimming the roster to the required 85 players before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline.

Inconsiderate people are the scourge among us

T

his pandemic has been going on for a year and a half and we all understand about mask-wearing. Many of us have surgical masks, some have N95s while others sport cloth masks that match their outfits or display their favorite sports team. Some people sport ineffectual neck gaiters or bandanas. No matter what kind of mask you choose, you know how to wear them. Now, I’m not a violent person but I can’t be the only one who wants to punch noses that rest above a mask. Wearing your mask below your nose is ignorant, selfish and dangerous. You might as Kelvin Wade well not be wearing a mask at all. Likewise, wearing the mask around your neck, on your head, or dangling off an ear is no better than not wearing a mask at all. People who do this know they aren’t wearing them correctly. It’s like wearing a condom on your thumb. People who do this are just too selfish, immature and inconsiderate to do their minuscule part to help end this godawful pandemic. A mask flouter is the same type of person who walks their dog off-leash and carries no poop bags to clean up their mess. They’re probably the same people who leave soiled masks in the bottom of shopping carts, and they leave said cart in the middle of a parking space rather than return it to the stall. This same person is the type to talk on their cellphone in public as if they’re home in private: loud, obnoxious and profane. Or they walk through a store playing music on their phone. I admit when I was a teen I had a big boom box that I would take with me wherever I went, but I wouldn’t play it inside a store. What is up with that? This is the type of person who texts while driving. They’re busy texting on their phone while the light turns green and you have to lay on the horn to bring them back into polite, responsible society and get them to move. They’re the inconsiderate type who will text or take a call during a movie. Or they will talk during the feature like they’ve never heard of the concept of whispering or an inside voice. The same clueless person pulls up next to you at a stoplight booming their stereo, vibrating your car, thinking just because they like crappy music at earsplitting volumes, we all should suffer right along with them. I’ve no doubt they’re the same type of person who would illegally park in a disabled parking space because they’re too lazy to park in another space and walk. Mask flouters are the type of people who’d flick a lit cigarette on the ground or otherwise publicly litter. The potential for starting a fire or uglifying the community means nothing to these selfabsorbed losers. The kind of person who’d subject others to Covid-19 are the same people who do yard work at the crack of dawn or run power tools in their garage long after the sun has gone down. The same guy with a mask around his neck is the same person who sneaks and eats co-workers’ food from the employee fridge or who shows up at a barbecue or potluck with nothing but their appetite. This is a woman who would ding your car and not leave a note. No one enjoys masking but there are those among us who feel they’re special, that the rules don’t apply to them. These are people whose parents failed in the home-training department. And hopefully, they haven’t procreated because they’re the kind of people to raise equally inconsiderate rugrats. These are societal leeches who want the benefits of the social contract without investing anything themselves. Wear it correctly. As Master Yoda said, “Do or do not. There is no try.” Peace.

Improving public transportation systems is critical in larger urban areas, but likely impractical for rural areas. And creating so-called affordable housing next to train stations is fine, I suppose, but it only works if the commute includes train travel proximities and schedules. And speaking from the perspective of someone who grew up living around trains, that will quickly become a lifestyle question that may still result in people moving away from urban centers and living with the downside of being a commuter. In short, trains are loud, and not an ideal area of exploration next to the playground. Besides, the term affordable housing has become as cliche as cleaving smog, and about as effective.

In the meantime, families with generational roots to the area are being forced out. The truth is, life cannot just be affordable, it also has to be enjoyable, from the ground up.

After burning slowly for 12 days, it exploded into a major wildfire that destroyed dozens of structures. Newsom blamed the Forest Service policy that “too often is wait and see” for allowing the Tamarack Fire to spread. “We need your help to change the culture in terms of the suppression strategies in this climate literally and figuratively to be more aggressive on these federal fires,” Newsom told Biden. Within a few days, Forest Service chief Randy Moore, declaring a “national crisis,” suspended the policy of monitoring, rather than suppressing, small fires and promised to ramp up firefighting efforts. The policy change has drawn criticism from the same scientists who had praised the Forest Service and Newsom for emphasizing long-term resiliency. While those policies make sense in the longer run, when wildfires strike, politicians such as Newsom and Biden know that the public wants them to be extinguished ASAP, and they ignore that attitude at their peril.

Nicole Kidman stars as a wellness guru in “Nine Perfect Strangers.”

elcome to Tranquillum House, where the smoothies are freakishly addictive, the staff is frighteningly Zen and Nicole Kidman will get into your head without batting an eye. Tranquillum House is the breathtakingly beautiful wellness center that is the setting for “Nine Perfect Strangers,” the new Hulu series based on Liane Moriarty’s bestselling 2018 novel of the same name. It is the place where nine damaged souls go to have their broken pieces polished and reassembled by Masha Dmitrichenko (Kidman), a luminous guru who promises that after 10 days with her, “You will not be the person you are now.” Premiering Wednesday, Hulu’s eight-episode adaptation is the TV place to go to have your curiosity piqued, your patience tested and your faith in Melissa McCarthy renewed. You can check out anytime you like, but the first-class cast makes it hard to leave. Even when the series itself gives you some good reasons to pack your bags early. As you might expect from the dreamily ominous opening music and the threatening texts that start popping up on Masha’s phone, the charms of Tranquillum House are not to be trusted. Based on the first four of its eight episodes, I would say the same goes for the series. Like HBO’s “Big Little Lies,” which was also adapted from a Moriarty bestseller, Hulu’s “Nine Perfect Strangers” bears the sun-kissed mark of writer/producer David E. Kelley, whose recent TV slate also includes “Big Sky,” “The Undoing” and “Mr. Mercedes.” As he did with “Big Little Lies,” Kelley moves the “Nine Perfect Strangers” action from breezy Australia to ritzy California,

stocks the cast with top-drawer talent and amps up the melodrama considerably. He also stretches Moriarty’s brisk beach read over too many episodes. By the end of the fourth installment, the mystery of Masha’s stalker hasn’t deepened, and the backstories of her nine troubled charges are still mostly in the Post-it note phase. Instead of plot momentum and character development, we get a lot of gorgeous scenery and Instagram-worthy moments set in misty hot springs. But audiences cannot live on eye candy alone, so it’s a good thing the men and women of Tranquillum House are played by some terrific actors. If the series ends up getting mangled by the same uncharacteristically clunky plot machinery that almost ruins Moriarty’s book, the star power might be the only thing that keeps you hanging on. McCarthy leads the pack as Frances Welty, a romance author whose bestselling career is suddenly on the skids and whose love life has been dealt a humiliating blow. With her spiky humor, warm curiosity and many food cravings, Frances is the book’s best, most endearing character. Thanks to McCarthy’s layered, lived-in performance as a smart, funny woman at the end of a rapidly fraying rope, the TV Frances is a viewer’s best friend and the show’s craftiest enabler. If you can’t put down the remote, blame McCarthy. But she has plenty of company. There is Bobby Canavale (“Boardwalk Empire,” “Mr. Robot”) as Tony Hogburn, a former football star whose fall from grace landed him in a pit of drugs and despair. Tony and

Frances are two peas in a pain pod, and Canavale and McCarthy are a joy to watch as their characters snipe and spar their way toward recovery. Kidman plays the inscrutably charismatic Masha with a sphinx-like serenity that does not entirely mask the cultleader gleam in her eye. Is Masha a savior or a lunatic? Kidman is sly enough to make both scenarios seem possible. She gets able backup from Manny Jacinto, whose low-key performance as Masha’s conflicted assistant, Yao, will have you checking IMDb to see if he is the same guy who played the cosmically goofy Jason Mendoza on “The Good Place.” (He is.) And as you wait for the story to pick up some momentum, you will also be rewarded by Michael Shannon (“Knives Out”) and Asher Keddie (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) as parents struggling with crushing grief; Regina Hall (“Girls Trip”) as a shell-shocked mother with abandonment issues; and an underutilized Luke Evans (“The Alienist”) as a snarky journalist with commitment issues. As Kelley and his collaborators did with “Big Little Lies,” the “Nine Perfect Strangers” team underplays the tart humor and wry empathy that make Moriarty’s books such pageturning fun. But the series does look scrumptious, and Kelley and his fellow writers play the cliffhanger card just often enough to prime the bingewatching pump. In the shifty spirit of Tranquillum House, there is a good chance “Nine Perfect Strangers” will convince you to stick with Masha in spite of yourself. And since I haven’t seen all eight episodes, who am I to say you won’t be better for it? Just make sure you have an exit strategy. You might need it.

In bridge, a psychic bid is likely to mislead your partner. During the play, you hope only to mislead the opponents about your holding. Changing the subject for a moment, you are on lead against a small slam with an ace in your hand. Sometimes, you lead the ace and the slam makes; whereas if you had led something else, you would have beaten the slam. Alternatively, you don’t lead the ace and the slam makes; whereas if you had led the ace, you would have beaten the slam. Which is more likely? English expert Terence Reese, whose opinion was respected, thought the latter was more likely. So, if in doubt, lead your ace at trick one. Here, West, an acolyte of Reese (that’s a pun, the main bidding system in England being Acol), started with the ace and another club. Now South had to play the trump suit without loss.

‘In The Same Breath,’ examines pandemic’s early days in China K atie Walsh

Tribune News Service

D

ocumentarian Nanfu Wang’s latest film, “In The Same Breath,” which premieres Wednesday on HBO Max, had quite a rapid turnaround. Depicting the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic in China, the film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January. But it’s no less thoughtful, carefully constructed and inquisitively insightful than any of Wang’s other films, an approach that has become her hallmark in a career that’s been marked by one remarkable film after the next. Wang, who was born and raised in southeast China’s Jiangxi province, was educated in the U.S. at Ohio University and New York University. Her work has consistently probed at the oppressive Chinese government through an intimate and human perspective, and “In the Same Breath” turns its lens on how that manifested during the Covid-19 pandemic, specifically focusing on the messaging and information, and sometimes misinformation, presented by the state-run news media. While the Chinese media attempted to downplay the severity of the pandemic early on, including obfuscating the number of deaths, as well as presenting rosy human interest stories about how well doctors were fighting the deadly disease, Wang, who was visiting her mother in China in January 2020 as the pandemic began, sent cameras into the hospitals to capture what was happening on the ground. She contrasts her footage and interviews of grieving families with the propaganda presented in the news media. She then juxtaposes the highly controlled Chinese media landscape, where freedom of speech is forbidden and citizen journalists arrested, with the anti-lockdown

protests in the U.S. and viral misinformation spread via social media, where perhaps freedom of speech ultimately led to more misinformation and mistrust. Ultimately, she imagines a world where the pandemic was taken seriously and governments transparently shared information, though that reality will never be an option at this point. It’s a fascinating and sophisticated latest entry in her oeuvre, posing important questions and helping us to unpack the unseen and seen before our eyes, which she has done again and again in her work, which includes some of the best nonfiction films of the past five years. Her debut film, “Hooligan Sparrow” has similarities to “In the Same Breath,” focusing on the oppression of the Chinese government on free speech, this time with regard to women’s rights activist Ye Haiyan, who has faced incredible persecution and violence for her protests against child sex abuse. In “Hooligan Sparrow,” Wang herself, who is often a part of her films, struggles to even capture these events for fear of violence and intimidation, and depicts the harrowing process of getting her footage out of China. Watch it on the Criterion Channel and Kanopy, or rent it for $3.99 on iTunes. Wang followed it up with a film set in the U.S., “I am Another You,” a sensitively realized portrait of a young homeless man, Dylan, who has chosen the transient life in Florida, far from his middle-class upbringing in Utah. The film is a true participant observation, with Wang joining Dylan on the streets to understand his chosen lifestyle. Imbued with her signature roughhewn beauty and told with her voice-over, it’s a deeply humane look at the homelessness crisis here. Watch it on Kanopy, AMC TV+ or rent it for $2.99 on Amazon.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Javier Munguia & Ana I. Munguia, husband and wife as joint tenants Recorded: 6/13/2008 as Instrument No. 20080047978 and modified as per Modification Agreement recorded 9/29/2014 as Instrument No. 201400073674 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SOLANO County, California; Date of Sale: 9/8/2021 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Santa Clara St. Entrance of the Vallejo City Hall, located at 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $265,278.86 The purported property address is: 2773 WOODMONT CT, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533 Assessor's Parcel No.: 0168-424-070 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-866777-JB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-866777-JB to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

B10  Wednesday, August 18, 2021 — DAILY REPUBLIC

Royals: Ready to play foes outside MEL 49ers: Lance off From Page B1 the offseason – spring, summer (and) fall camp.” In replacing Anthony Gonzales, Mosley had his first season as head coach delayed until the spring with the schedule cut from 10 games to a maximum of five. With Fairfield playing at just the junior varsity level because of low numbers, the schedule was cut to four games and eliminated an opponent Armijo had crushed 63-0 in the 2019 finale. Ironically, Fairfield’s JV team didn’t

get to play Armijo because the Royals fielded just a varsity team in the spring, also because of low numbers. Of his 2021 schedule, Mosley said, ”I look forward to having nonleague games because not having them for the spring season with a young team was tough. While we are still young at some positions, having our non-league schedule allows for those players to gain more experience before getting into league (play) unlike the spring season where they had to

get thrown into the fire with our league schedule.” But even having nonleague games doesn’t mean things are back to normal. Mosley said his biggest concern involves “any potential cancellations due to a positive Covid test and contact tracing,” a reality that didn’t exist when he was an Armijo assistant coach in 2019 On top of that, preparations for this season was disjointed because of playing in the spring. “The biggest difference is the quick

turnaround time,” Mosley said. “When the spring season ended we had about three weeks before spring ball started and we had to prepare for that plus completing the typical end of season duties felt rushed.” The Royals open their season by hosting El Camino of Sacramento on Friday, their first non-league game since defeating Castlemont of Oakland, 33-26, on Sept. 27, 2019.

A’s: Managed four hits, hit into four DPs From Page B1 Sox manager Tony La Russa told reporters after the game. “We’re all really hoping he escaped with just a bruise.” Goodwin, who’s line drive came off his bat at 100mph, tweeted that Bassitt was “in my prayers for sure brother.” Bassitt left with the bases loaded in the second inning. On short notice out of the bullpen, Burch Smith couldn’t

hold the line in the aftermath of the traumatic scene. Andrew Vaughn hit a two-run single. Jake Lamb, an Athletic for a short time, hit a three-run home run – the traditional pyrotechnics added insult to injury. Jose Abreu added a three-run home run off Smith in the fourth inning. The A’s were shut out and had four hits total, striking out six times and hitting into four double plays. As the game

line drive that broke A’s reliever Bo McLaughlin’s left cheekbone and his eye socket in five different places during a game at he Coliseum. La Russa was the skipper for Chicago that day in 1981, too. In 2012, then-A’s pitcher Brandon McCarthy was hit in the head by a liner off Los Angeles Angels’ Erick Aybar and had to undergo surgery to repair a skull fracture and brain contusion.

wore on, manager Bob Melvin pulled starters Matt Chapman, Starling Marte and Jed Lowrie from their posts. Mitch Moreland, a closer during his time at Mississippi State, pitched the eighth inning to bring some levity to the dugout. Bassitt’s injury was not the first time an A’s pitcher absorbed a line drive from a White Sox Batter. Nearly 40 years ago to the day, Chicago’s Harold Baines hit a

From Page B1 coaches this summer have said the mechanical work Lance did before training camp had improved his accuracy. After Lance completed 5 of 14 passes in the preseason opener – with three of his incompletions coming on drops from receivers – Shanahan indicated some of Lance’s fixes had been forgotten. “You get a little excited (and) some of your technique, you lose,” Shanahan said. “. . . Trey’s a guy who’s tough on himself and loves to correct things. And since we’ve had him, he’s been very good at correcting mistakes.” Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 13 of 19 passes with one touchdown and one interception. Garoppolo’s

pick was a short, giftwrapped throw to inside linebacker Fred Warner. He completed 8 of his final 9 passes, and he went 5 of 5 on a 70-yard touchdown drive during a move-the-ball period. Garoppolo capped the march by floating a 26-yard touchdown to wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who caught the pass between strong safety Tavon Wilson and cornerback Dontae Johnson.

Injury report: Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams did not practice because of a knee swelling after he was injured near the end of Monday’s session. Williams’ injury could mean he won’t square off against Chargers’ Pro Bowl pass rusher Joey Bosa this week, one of the more anticipated battles of the 49ers’ joint practices in Los Angeles on Thursday and Friday. . . . Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley did not practice because of a hamstring injury. Johnson filled his spot with the first-string defense.

Giants: Top Mets From Page B2 arms Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee after each pitcher worked backto-back days. García allowed a leadoff single to Jeff McNeil that was misplayed by center fielder Austin Slater, but left fielder LaMonte Wade Jr. raced into the gap to back up Slater, cut the ball off and prevent McNeil from taking second base. After inducing a pair of ground-outs, García was replaced by righthander Dominic Leone, who retired former Giant Kevin Pillar to pick up his first save this season and third of his career. Wade opened the bottom of the first inning

with a line-drive single to center field that snuck past the outstretched glove of shortstop Jonathan Villar. Had either of the Mets’ top two defensive infielders, Francisco Lindor or Javier Báez, been active and in the lineup on Tuesday, it’s possible the ball would have ended up in a glove, but instead Wade reached to set the table for La Stella. After falling behind in the count 0-2 against Mets starter Marcus Stroman, La Stella laid off a pair of splitters, fouled off a cutter and then launched a 2-2 cutter thrown right over the heart of the plate out to deep right-center field.
