City seeks input on downtown Fairfield improvements

Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The city is seeking input into its Streetscape Improvement Project planned for downtown. City staff, with direction of the City Council, is working with a landscape architecture firm to provide conceptual plans to revitalize the core of the downtown streetscape and pedestrian expe-

rience. The contract with Gates & Associates will provide conceptual design plans for four blocks along Texas Street as well as a portion of Madison Street. Once the plans are finalized, staff will hire an architect to provide construction drawings and a firm to complete the construction. An open meeting is planned Oct. 12 for the community and downtown businesses to provide

feedback and comments on the plans. Improvements may include decorative pavers, landscaping and planting areas, decorative lighting, water features, public art, signage and seating areas. The meeting will take place at the Solano County Events Center, Conference Room A, 601 Texas St. Downtown businesses are invited from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The community is invited from 7 to 8 p.m.

County adopts federal ARPA spending categories as its own Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday approved as the county’s own general pandemic relief “spending buckets” for the seven categories outlined as eligible by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The board, however,

did not specifically allocate any of its nearly $87 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds to any specific area of need or want. Instead, it directed staff to come back with a spending framework that takes into consideration existing needs assess-

ments, homeless issues, direct Covid health services and other priorities broadly discussed at the meeting. The board also wanted to be updated on what the cities and schools are considering for their funds, and whether there are partnership possibil-

ities there. The supervisors also agendized for the board’s Oct. 5 meeting consideration of supporting the Solano County Superior Court’s self-help efforts to resolve tenantlandlord disputes over evictions due to past due rents related to Covid-19 hardships. See ARPA, Page A9

GOP nixes new Dem move on federal debt Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Republicans blocked a Democratic move in the Senate to raise the federal debt limit for the second time in as many days, escalating tensions less than three weeks before the U.S. Treasury potentially runs out of capacity to avert a federal

FAIRFIELD — The Hampton Inn in Vallejo has sustained nearly $1 million in damages during the Project Roomkey program to provide rooms to homeless or high-risk residents during the Covid-19 pandemic. The news came as quite the surprise to some of the Solano County supervisors, and triggered a debate about the county’s continued investment into the Project Roomkey and Rehousing Strategy. Board Chairman John Vasquez was particularly concerned and wondered if the county should dedicate the requested $1.01 million in state funding toward the effort, especially if $500,000 was going to be used to repair damages.

“A year and a half later, to come up with a bill . . . for close to $1 million,” Vasquez said with some frustration. However, outgoing Vallejo City Manager Anne Cardwell, calling into the county meeting, said the city plans to cover the repair costs with funds it has available. She said it was important the county dollars are used for rehousing efforts through the end of the calendar year. There are about 80 individuals still in the program. The supervisors were told about 18% of the program participants have been placed in permanent housing, with another 10% in some kind of temporary housing. Others have been placed in service programs, while the whereabouts of

There are magic words children always want to hear

A

few days ago, I packed a month’s worth of stuff and drove five hours to spend a week with my oldest, his wife and their two little ones. Jonah is 2 and a half. Leilani will soon be 5 months old. I wish you could see them. It was a long drive, but I’m a nana. When a grandchild is born, nanas sign a mental contract to do whatever we can to stay close to them. FaceTime helps. But it’s hard to nuzzle a neck through a phone. My son and his wife welcomed me back with open arms. If you are hip-deep in diapers with a baby and a toddler, you’ll take anybody who’s willing to help. Our last real visit was when Leilani was born. Five months is too long to be absent from a little person’s life and expect to be remembered. Leilani was not glad to see me. She stared at me as if, at any minute, I might grab

her and run out the door. he wants me to I’m not good with first play with him. impressions, but I tend When Leilani was to grow on people. So I born, I spent a month at held her.

I’d put them I play with her mostly while together and Jonah would take Jonah is napping. If he’s awake, them apart. I’d say “Oops!” and

he’d fall down laughing. We built with blocks. I’d stack them up and he’d knock them down. I’d say “Oops!” and he’d laugh until he was breathless. We read books. I’d start one and he’d want a different one. I’d say “Oops!” and he’d laugh until he gagged. I felt like the funniest nana ever. “Oops” was a magic word. But soon, we were over it. Then I remembered the magic words children never grow tired of. So this morning, when Jonah came running in to wake me, I said, “Wanna hear a story?” His eyes grew wide. “OK!” “Climb up,” I said, patting the bed. He crawled in and I pulled the covers up to our necks. He lay stock still, holding his breath, as I whispered the magic words: “Once upon a time . . . ” I wish you could’ve seen him. I told him three stories, two I

learned as a child (“Goldilocks and the Three Bears” and “The Three Little Pigs”) and one about a boy named Jonah and his nana. Its last line was “And they lived happily ever after.” Then I said, “The end” and Jonah’s eyes studied mine as if looking for something he knew was there. When he found it, he said these magic words: “I love you when you come back.” The saddest part of happy times with someone we cherish is having to say goodbye. It will be hard to leave Jonah, his sister and mom and dad. But nanas keep coming back, if only on FaceTime or in memory. It’s written in our contract. Lord willing, I’ll come back soon.

Nevertheless, drawing a crisp distinction between being intelligent in managing schoolrelated tasks and being smart in managing life skills is hard to do. There is a strong argument that the types of intellectual tasks required in most schools don’t necessarily correlate well with those needed to live successful adult lives. Psychologist Daniel Goleman explained that “at best, IQ contributes about 20% to the factors that determine life success, which leaves 80% to other forces.” Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner maintained that “We should spend less time ranking children [through test scores and grades] and more time helping them to identify their natural competencies and gifts and to cultivate those. There are hundreds of ways to succeed, and many, many different abilities to help you get there.” Yale psychologist Robert Sternberg distilled the argument nicely. He proposed three fundamental types of intelligence that should provide the basis of school curricula: n Analytical: Ability to analyze, evaluate, judge, compare and contrast. n Practical: Ability to

Supes extend Solano reports 4 more Solano360 deaths; case numbers falling negotiations Touro, Town pact with IRG Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The number of Covid-related deaths in Solano County climbed to 294 with four more fatalities being reported Monday by the Public Health Division since Friday’s update. Details about the individuals were not immediately available. The county reported 48 new coronavirus cases since the last update, and reported that more residents who are 12 or older have received vaccine shots, with 77% of that population – up from 76% – now having received at least one vaccination. The percentage of that eligible population having been fully vaccinated held at 66%, the county reported. Hospitalizations dropped from 64 to 61. How many of those were in intensive care units was not available, either. Active cases dropped considerably, from 646 to 412, pushing the 10-day daily average to just over 41 vases. The sevenday positivity testing rate also continues to decline, falling to 5.6%, the county reported.

Members of the community receive their Covid-19 vaccination shots at Hogan Middle School in Vallejo, Thursday. Vallejo accounted for nearly half of the new cases, adding 20 to take its pandemic total to 12,895. Vacaville added 14 cases for a count of 11,587. Fairfield is at 11,821 with just six new cases, the county reported. Suisun City (3,121) added six cases; Dixon (2,448) and Benicia (1,413) added just one case apiece; and there were no new cases reported for Rio Vista (561) or the unincor-

porated area of the county (137), the county reported. The lower case numbers do likely reflect a decline in testing over the weekend. The trend has been to see weekday cases climb after the lower weekend totals, the Public Health Division has previously reported. Solano County does not post case updates on Tuesdays. The next update is scheduled late Wednesday afternoon.

VACAVILLE — The Touro Child and Adult Resource Education and Support Mobile Vaccination team will host a free Covid-19 vaccine clinic from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday at the Vacaville Town Square Library, 1 Town Square Place. Walk-ins are welcome, and no appointment is needed. Minors will need a parent/legal guardian present. Vacaville has the lowest vaccination rate among its eligible population, ages 12 and older, for the seven cities in the county, according to Solano Public Health.

Fredric Carl Moore Nov. 29, 1946 — Sept. 16, 2021

Fred Moore passed away on Sept. 16, 2021, in his home in Fairfield, California, after battling a long illness. Fred was born on Nov. 29, 1946, in Mount Olive, Mississippi, the second of three sons of Aretta and Elmer Moore. He grew up in Berkeley, Fresno and Washington, D.C. He graduated from Calvin Coolidge High School in Washington, D.C., in 1965 where he enjoyed playing football and baseball. He started his college athletic career at Reedley College in Reedley, California, where he was recruited to play football and baseball. His freshman year he finished second in the JC State rankings in total yards rushing and receiving. He was allconference in both football and baseball. He was inducted into the Reedley College Athletic Hall of Fame. He was recruited to Washington State University to play wide receiver for the Cougars. After his second season, he was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the fifteenth round of the 1970 NFL draft. His professional career was cut short by an injury. After his athletic career was completed, he sold insurance for Western Southern before starting to work the California State Lottery, from which he retired in 2006.

RC Trigg

April 13, 1936 — Aug. 28, 2021

RC Trigg, 85, passed away in his sleep at home on Saturday, Aug. 28, 2021, in Flowood, Mississippi. RC was born on April 13, 1936, in Rankin County, Mississippi. He was the second child of Rev. Handy Trigg and Flarzell Reed Trigg. He spent his formative years on the family’s 25 acres of land on what is now Henderson Road in Flowood. He graduated as valedictorian from Carter High School in 1954. Soon after, he moved to Los Angeles, California, where he met Bertha Mae Mills. They married on March 13, 1960, and from their union came eight children, Eileen, Lawrence, Leonard, Alberta, Clara, Jason, Tyrone and Paulette. The best gift he gave us his children can be found in Ephesians 6:4. ‘… bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.’ In 1965, he moved his young family to Suisun City. A few years later, he bought his first house across the tracks in Fairfield. He was employed by Solano Garbage Company for 32 years and retired in June 1998. He moved back to the family land in Mississippi to help take care of his mom and to enjoy his retirement. RC enjoyed a variety of social activities throughout his lifetime. Fishing was near the top of his list. He fished any chance he could and although he had a core group of fishing buddies, he would take anyone with him including his kid’s friends. RC was a great fisherman. He has caught numerous large sturgeons! One was 6 feet long and a whopping 82 pounds! He has also caught many 30 pounds and larger striped bass. He had so many stories about catching big fish that people did not believe it so he started taking pictures of the fish so he had proof to go with the stories! And now,

we have so many pictures of him with fishes. He also loved playing basketball. He could not pass up an empty court. At the family house on 206 DeSoto Drive, he put up a basketball hoop above the garage with the driveway as the court. It became the neighborhood court. Oh, the games and memories made there! RC had a running left-hand hook shot that was nearly impossible to stop. He played until he was 50 years old and the ballers at Tabor Park in Fairfield titled him the ‘Original OG’. He was a mentor and father figure to many of the young men that he met on the court and throughout his life. RC never met a conversation he didn’t like. He loved to talk. Especially in person as it was more personal and enjoyable to him. In California, he could be found hanging out and shooting the breeze with his friends at local restaurants – Sambo’s, Seasons, Sandy’s, Nation’s, Denny’s and Virgil’s Bait Shop. One thing to remember when talking with RC, you better have your facts and thoughts together because he was going to challenge you to prove your point! He is survived by his children; 14 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and a host of extended family and friends who all cherish him dearly. RC was a great example of the biblical ‘Good Samaritan’. If he could help you – he DID! And he did not brag about it. RC helped so many people! There are people in heaven (now and in the future) stopping by to tell him, ‘Thank you! Thank you for giving to the Lord and being obedient.’ Matthew 25:40 is a fitting description of his life: ‘... As you did it to one of the least of these… you did it to me.’

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors agreed Tuesday to spend another $2 million toward the downtown jail water infrastructure project, which over eight years brings the total cost to about $13 million. The latest action includes the installation of an electronic water management system as well as replacing about 1,056 valves. The board was told that the project will save money in the long run, as fixing the valves could actually cost more, and the old valves are not compatible with the new management system, so would have to be replaced at a later date if the work was postponed. The management

system will allow the county to control water use and gain other cost savings as well. The board also approved a $2 million appropriation transfer from the Capital Renewal Reserve Fund to the Sheriff Main Jail Hot Water and Shower Repair Project. In other action, the board: n Accepted the annual audit of the Statement of Assets of the Solano County Treasury as of June 30, 2021. n Set a public hearing Oct. 26 to consider delinquent accounts for mandatory garbage collection, disposal and recycling services in the unincorporated area of Rio Vista; and approved a $62 administrative charge See Jail, Page A6

Country legend has degenerative nerve condition Tribune Content Agency Country legend Alan Jackson revealed Tuesday that he has a degenerative nerve condition that is impacting his ability to perform on stage. The 62-year-old Georgia native told Jenna Bush Hager of the “Today” show on NBC that he was diagnosed a decade ago with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which makes it more difficult for Jackson to walk normally. “I have this neuropathy and neurological disease,” Jackson said. “It’s genetic that I inherited from my daddy... There’s no cure for it, but it’s been affecting me for years. And it’s getting more and more

obvious. And I know I’m stumbling around on stage. And now I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable.” The peripheral nerve damage from the condition mostly impacts the arms and legs, weakening the muscles over time, according to the Mayo Clinic website. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke estimates about 126,000 individuals in the United States and 2.6 million worldwide are impacted by this disease. “There is currently no cure for CMT but it can be managed with supportive therapy,” the site noted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Give yourself the leeway to mess around, try things on and poke your nose into the parts of it that don’t seem meant for you. The bottom line is, you won’t know until you try. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may not think you have a lot of rules, but in fact you abide rather strictly to your preferences. You’re even more selective than usual, and will gladly pass on things that fall short of your sensory and intellectual standards. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your conversational skills will be called on. You’re in demand for being so adaptable, comfortable and effective in a variety of situations. It’s a natural extension of the sort of work and play you do today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Nobody has life solved; it’s an unsolvable equation. Those who act like they have the answers tend to annoy the rest. So, take off some of the pressure. Don’t worry about who you are. Do what you want to do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve skipped over the edge of your groove and are now in an unsecured, unpredictable place. It doesn’t feel good, but it is. Don’t go back to the old pattern; that groove was a rut.

Today’s birthday Your cosmic boon is a strong and spot-on impulse to self-care. You take excellent care of yourself and cultivate a more vibrant energy than you’ve felt in a while. Also, you have a circle around you feeding you kindness, relaxation opportunities and treats all along the way. Aquarius and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 3, 33, 10 and 40.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some days you feel invincible, but today you lead with a humble part of you and, oddly enough, get more powerful results. Posturing doesn’t facilitate connection very well because people connect mostly in their vulnerability. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you adventure with others, you feel somewhat responsible for them. Assuming this high level of responsibility for your fellow humans is a lot of work, but it’s what makes you special. Besides, your people are worth it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). We are all limited people in a

world that will test our limits again and again – that is, if we’re living right! You welcome trials because the lessons make you smarter, faster, wiser and stronger. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Some people enjoy thinking that anything can happen. You’d rather know what’s likely to happen because it allows you to plan accordingly. Life is more interesting with a strategy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Your drive is powerful, estimable and intimidating. You’re a force people both admire and fear. As a result, some of your phone calls won’t be returned – a sign to move on to more promising prospects. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll deal with the delightful and the difficult. Some act irresponsibly. Callouts are unnecessary because everyone knows what’s up. Believe the best about people and give them room to rise to the occasion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Too much of a good thing ruins the goodness of the thing. Since life is a bit of a buffet today, restraint will be called for. How can you limit your exposure to the dangerous luxury of options?

by Phillip Alder opens one club, North overcalls one diamond, and Robot East makes a negative double showing at least 4-4 in the majors. What should South do? As is usually the case when an opponent has bid your long suit, you must pass on the first round. (Here, two clubs would show good diamond support, and three clubs would be a Mixed Raise: four diamonds, 7-9 high-card points and nine losers.) However, at one table a human South did not want to pass, so he advanced with one spade. West rebid two hearts, and after two passes, South bid a natural three clubs, which was passed out. (Three pairs bought it two clubs, 10 in three clubs and one in three spades -- how should that get on?) West did very well, leading a trump. Strangely, South won on the board and played a diamond to the queen. West won and weirdly did not play another trump, which would have resulted in down three. Instead, West shifted to the heart six, which was ducked to declarer’s jack! West took the next trick with the spade 10 and led another heart! South trumped, ruffed a spade on the board, discarded a spade on the diamond ace, ruffed a heart, drew trumps and collected an overtrick for a cold top! Three spades goes down if South gets two diamond ruffs. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

From Page One to force Democrats to use an involved parliamentary procedure to raise the federal debt limit on their own and without any Republican assent to consider the move. Top Democrats rejected pursuing that path, however. “Going through reconciliation is risky to the country and a nonstarter,” Schumer told reporters Tuesday, referring to the budget measure Democrats could use to get around a Republican filibuster. The procedure is a “long and convoluted” approach to boosting the debt limit, he said. The escalating partisan battle was made more serious by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s new timeline – she warned in a letter to congressional leaders Tuesday that her department will effectively run out of cash around Oct. 18 unless Congress suspends or increases the debt limit. “Treasury is likely to exhaust its extraordinary measures if Congress has not acted to raise or suspend the debt limit by October 18,” Yellen said in a letter Tuesday to congressional leaders. Yellen said at a Senate Banking Committee hearing that “catastrophic” results would follow a failure to address the debt limit, including a “financial crisis” and recession. Yellen’s latest time frame is somewhat sooner than many on Wall Street anticipated, and her warning intensified signs of financial market concern. Yields on Treasury bills maturing around Oct. 18 rose more than those on other securities. A broader selloff in

Common Ground, a national community advocacy organization, has requested the county provide over two years nearly $2.5 million in federal pandemic relief funds for that cause, dollars the group says would pay for legal aides, housing coordinators, a tenant-landlord hotline and expand the self-help capacity in the courthouse. Representatives from the group argued the

Treasuries contributed to the biggest slump in equities since May. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said her chamber could vote as soon as Tuesday on a new debtceiling measure, after a previous bill that twinned a debt-limit suspension with a stopgap spending package to keep the federal government funded past the Oct. 1 start of the new fiscal year was blocked by Republicans in the Senate on Monday. Before Schumer’s pledge to forgo it, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said earlier Tuesday that Democrats “may have to use reconciliation” to address the debt ceiling. Hoyer later tweeted that Democrats are not pursuing the reconciliation option and it is not the best option. The Senate could approve a standalone debt ceiling increase using the reconciliation method with just Democratic votes in less than two weeks, according to former Senate Budget Committee staff Director Bill Hoagland. Meantime, JPMorgan Chase & Co., the biggest U.S. lender, is preparing for the possibility of the U.S. hitting its debt limit, Reuters quoted Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon saying. A JPMorgan representative said the preparations are in keeping with its usual scenario preparations. Dimon told Reuters he still expects politicians to avert the catastrophic event of a default. Republicans doubled down on their opposition Tuesday. GOP senators in the Yellen hearing called on Democrats to boost the ceiling on their own, as they are proceeding on their own with a tax and social spending bill of up to $3.5 trillion. McConnell said on

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen speaks during a Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing on the CARES Act at the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., Tuesday. the Senate floor Tuesday that he’s “made it perfectly clear” Republicans wouldn’t back a debtlimit increase given the pending social spending package Democrats are pursuing. “Republicans are going to be taking a dagger to families and the American people if they keep this up,” Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Tuesday. He predicted the GOP will back down from their filibuster threat and allow a simple majority vote to boost the debt limit. Democrats including Senate Banking Commitee Chairman Sherrod Brown blasted Republicans for failing to follow the long bipartisan tradition of raising or suspending the debt limit out of recognition that both parties had voted for the policies that produced the borrowing requirements. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell added his voice to those warning about dire consequences of failure to avert a payments default, speaking at Brown’s committee. The cumbersome par-

liamentary requirements of the reconciliation measure means Democrats would need to start it soon in order to finish before Oct. 18. Planned House and Senate recesses in October put further pressure on lawmakers. “The closer to the deadline the process starts, the more likely it is that Republicans would agree to waive some of the required time for debate,” Alec Phillips, an analyst at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., wrote in a note Tuesday. “If so, Democratic leaders seem incentivized to let the clock run down before acting.” Pelosi told reporters Tuesday, “We have to pass the debt limit.” She underscored, “It’s about paying past bills.” Schumer also continued to insist Democrats won’t allow a default or a closure of the government. Meantime, Congress also faces a deadline for enacting a stopgap spending bill to keep the federal government funded past the start of the new fiscal year on Oct. 1. The bill Republicans blocked on Monday included both funding to keep the government running until early December and a debt-ceiling suspension until December 2022. “Sometime today” Democrats will make the determination on “what the best strategy is to move it forward and get it done,” Hoyer said of the continuing resolution that will be needed to keep the government open and avert a shutdown. Democrats on Tuesday discussed ways to change the debt ceiling in the future, Pelosi said. Those included minting a $1 trillion dollar coin or giving the Treasury the power to raise the ceiling on its own.

be long-term care facility employees, medical staff and first-responders. With the help of Kaiser Permanente, Matyas said the county expects to get to all 150 long-term care facilities in the county by mid-October. “That has already begun,” Matyas said. The county will be offering the normal vaccine programs for those who are unvaccinated, and will include flu shots when possible. The limiting issue there is flu vaccine, but the county hopes to get help from its partners, such as hospitals and pharmacies. The biggest concern

for the success of the booster program is whether there are enough medical staff and related volunteers to conduct the clinics due to the shortage of matyas medical personnel. “The traveling nurse organizations are telling us no one wants to be a traveling nurse anymore,” Matyas said. Moreover, the deadline for all personnel at medical facilities to be vaccinated is Thursday. If they do not get vaccinated, they cannot return to work.

Matyas said he does not think that is going to be a problem in Solano County, but other areas could be greatly affected, and that, in turn, will create more competition for other resources the county has hired for its mass clinics and its pop-up clinics, which are also planned. Matyas also noted that Pfizer expects to seek emergency approval for a vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old, and the county is gearing up to go to schools when that is approved.

individuals being housed. Cardwell got support from other Vallejo officials and Benicia representatives who emphasized that homelessness and Project Roomkey are regional matters, and noted benefits across the county. Project Roomkey has had 316 participants since its inception in the spring of 2020, which included shorter programs in Vacaville and Fairfield. The Board of Supervisors accepted the funds from the California Department of Social

Services and approved an appropriations transfer for $1.47 million to the County Medical Services Program Covid-19 Emergency Response Grant fund. The board then approved a $1.31 million agreement with CAP Solano – the Community Action Partnership Solano Joint Powers Authority – to continue Project Roomkey services in Vallejo. That included $300,000 from another county funding source that had already been earmarked for

the effort. Supervisor Jim Spering said he thought it was important that the county continue to support the project because of the commitment by Hampton and other motels. He said if the county backed out now, it would be hard to convince the private sector to cooperate in the future. “Let’s start winding down and get our lessons learned and our best practices in place,” Spering said.

county would see savings from the recommended spending as compared to the costs of providing services if those residents end up on the streets. While the supervisors aired their own wish lists of sorts for the onetime federal funding, each agreed that if the county did not want to get overwhelmed with requests and run the risk of diluting the possible impact of funding by spreading it too thin, it needed a framework from which to work. The Rescue Plan is designed to address the negative effects from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The seven eligible spending categories, each with a host of subcategories the board did not specifically endorse, are: n Public health. n Negative economic impacts. n Services to disproportionately impacted communities. n Premium pay (both public and private sectors). n Infrastructure. n Revenue replacement (government losses). n Administrative costs. The supervisors are cautious about setting specific funding amounts for any need until more

information is available, including whether the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion infrastructure plan and $3.5 trillion spending plan are passed by Congress. Funds from those programs would mean the county could use its American Rescue Plan Act funding in different areas. The board has called for a 6 p.m. meeting Oct. 12 to get public feedback on the Rescue Plan spending, and a 9 a.m. meeting Oct. 19 for additional public feedback. The funds must be specifically allocated by Dec. 31, 2024.

Plenty of questions need answers after late loss Eric Branch

49ERS’ REVIEW

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

T

he Packers won the game Sunday night because they finally figured this out: They couldn’t let Nick Bosa wreck it. Two years after the 49ers’ pass rusher spearheaded their relentless harassment of quarterback Aaron Rodgers en route to two blowout wins, Green Bay inexplicably began their 30-28 win over the 49ers by trying this: blocking Bosa one-on-one. With their thirdstring left tackle. Who wasn’t drafted in 2019. And had played 14 career snaps. All in

garbage time. Guess what? Bosa vs. Yosh Nijman resembled Hammer vs. Nail. Rodgers walked off the field following the Packers’ first drive, which ended in a field goal, shaking his head in frustration after Bosa manhandled Nijman on three straight plays: He beat him inside to bat a pass, he bulled him to force Rodgers out of the pocket and drew a 15-yard facemask penalty and, finally, he tossed Nijman aside to drop running

back Aaron Jones for a 4-yard loss. Bosa’s destruction forced a 3rd-and-33. And the Packers surrendered by tossing a quick screen to wide receiver Davante Adams for a 2-yard gain. However, after Bosa spent the first quarter rag-dolling his opponent, the Packers gave their left tackle help on pass plays by having skill position players take a whack at Bosa before he could reach Nijman. In the second quarter, for example, tight end Robert Tonyan lined up in the slot to Bosa’s right and planted him on

his back with a blindside block. In the second half, Tonyan and fellow tight ends Josiah Deguara and Marcedes Lewis all took turns hitting Bosa before going out on their routes. Finally, on the Packers’ game-winning drive, which began with them trailing 28-27 with the ball at their 25-yard line, with 37 seconds left, they ensured Bosa didn’t prevent Rodgers from locating Adams. First, on Rodgers’ 25-yard completion to Adams, Tonyan hit Bosa before going out on his

route. Three plays later, on Rodgers’ 17-yard dart to Adams that set up their walk-off, game-winning field goal, running back Jones took a shot at Bosa, belting him backward. As a result, Bosa jumped futilely around the line of scrimmage – nowhere near Rodgers – on the play that set up Mason Crosby’s field goal. Other observations from the loss to Green Bay:

• The attention the Packers paid to Bosa worked. He had four tackles, no sacks and one QB hit. The more concerning part for the 49ers, who had one sack and

Mustangs stampede to 6-3 tennis win over Vacaville Daily Republic staff

Toby Rhodes/Tarleton Athletic Communications

Vacaville High graduate Daniel Wright Jr. has made a big splash with the Tarleton State University football team

since transferring from Weber State, rushing for more than 100 yards in two of the Texans’ first four games.

Daniel Wright Jr. ran for 115 yards in the Tarleton State University football team’s 54-7 win over Fort Lewis on Sept. 11. It was a big splash made in his second game with the Texans (2-2) by the transfer from Weber State, who’s a Vacaville High graduate and lists Fairfield as his hometown. But was it a fluke? Not by a long shot. In Saturday’s 40-21 thumping of New Mexico Highlands, Wright scored the Texans’ first two touchdowns on 1and 7-yard runs en route

to rushing for 142 yards on 15 carries, a nifty average of 9.5 yards per attempt. He also caught two passes for 29 yards. Through four games, Wright has run for a teamhigh 294 yards, closing in on the 303 yards he had in six games in the spring with Weber State. San Diego (0-4, 0-1 PFL) is still looking for its first win, but Muhindo Kapapa (Armijo) was in winning form last week, recording 12 tackles, seven solo, in the Toreros’ 28-16 loss to Davidson. Amir Wallace (Fairfield resident, De La Salle) also had two tackles for USD. Jake Levengood

(Vacaville) started on the offensive line in Oregon State’s 45-27 thumping of USC. It was the Beavers’ first road win over the Trojans since 1960, their first win in a Pac-12 opener and first time scoring 40 points in three straight games since 2013, first threegame winning streak since 2014, and most points they ever scored against USC. En route to accomplishing all that, Oregon State (3-1), rushed for 213 yards and four touchdowns, passed for 324 yards and two TDs, amassing 537 total yards. Arizona (0-4, 0-1 Pac-12) hung with Oregon through three

quarters, trailing just 24-19 entering the fourth before being swamped 41-19. Tayvian Cunningham (Wood) caught two passes for 9 yards, averaging 19 yards on five kickoff returns with a long of 27. Minot State (0-4, 0-4 NSIC) was mauled by Minnesota StateMankato, 68-10, with Emmett Espino (Armijo) getting an assisted tackle for the Beavers. Minnesota-Morris got past Crown, 24-18, with Mondo Calderon (Fairfield) making two solo tackles for the Cougars (1-3). See Alumni, Page B10

Draymond Green misses Warriors’ first practice, plus more takeaways Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — Andrew Wiggins was present for the Warriors’ first official day of training camp Tuesday, but Draymond Green’s absence continued into a second day. Green, who also missed media day Monday and was spotted at the Rams’ game in Los Angeles on Sunday, has a hall pass for now, according to coach Steve Kerr, who said the team has been in contact with Green over the past week. “He’s got an excused absence until he’s ready to come up,” Kerr said following the Warriors’ first practice of training camp. “Because of the nature of what’s going on, certain things always take precedence over basketball.”

Wiggins’ vaccination status is the question of the week. If unvaccinated, he could be forced to miss every Warriors home game under San Francisco rules that take effect Oct. 13. Kerr did not have an update regarding Wiggins’ potential eligibility, but said he was a full participant in practice. For now, the Warriors are preparing as if Wiggins will be their starting small forward, Kerr said. “If you tried to get ready for every contingency, you’d be running around in circles,” Kerr said. “Andrew’s practicing. He looks great. He’s in good spirits. His teammates love him. His coaches love him. We’re happy that he’s in the building. We’re all just working and getting ready

for the season, and we’ll adapt accordingly.” ‘Old Klay’ back at practice, wins shooting competition Klay Thompson apparently gave an accurate assessment of his progress in rehabbing his right Achilles tendon on Monday. “I can make a lot of jumpshots,” Thompson told reporters. On Tuesday, he paired with newly signed backcourt mate Avery Bradley to win the shooting competition in practice. The prize? A WWE-style belt. Thompson, who is still recovering from the Achilles injury, was not limited at all in practice Tuesday, Kerr said. When the Warriors scrimmage for the first time See Warriors, Page B2

FAIRFIELD — The Rodriguez High girls tennis team earned all its victories in straight sets and had two of its three defeats go the distance in earning a 6-3 Monticello Empire League victory over Vacaville, Tuesday. Singles winners for the Mustangs were Riley Mark at No. 2 (6-0, 7-5), Kayla Lee at No. 3 (6-4, 6-4), Hannah Pierleoni at No. 5 (6-1, 6-1) and Giana Anselmo at No. 6 (6-4, 6-1). Prevailing in doubles were Julianna Roxas and Shayla Prasad at No. 1 (6-4, 6-2) and Brianna Jahner and Sophia Jahner at No. 2 (6-2, 6-4). Vacaville’s Nia Macay earned a 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 1, but at No. 4, Victoria rallied to defeat Danielle Murphy (6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-3) and at No. 3 doubles, Paige Witte and Ava Sheppard outlasted Courtney Brown and Maya Shamieh, 6-1, 4-6, 10-8.

Vanden 9, Wood 0: At Vacaville, the first-place Vikings (10-1) dropped just three games in the seven matches contested.

Winning in singles for Vanden were Maya Khanna at No. 1 (6-0, 6-0), Sasha Smith at No. 2 (6-0, 6-0), Maritza Garcia at No. 3 (6-0, 6-0), Danali Hardwick at No. 4 (6-1, 6-0), Hailey Lam at No. 5 (6-1, 6-1) and Kaylani Payne at No. 6 (6-0, 6-0). Kamsi Onwuazombe and Kalyse Payne won at No. 1 doubles (6-0, 6-0), with Kailyn Kang and Kailey Payne at No. 2, and Althea Yabut and Alexa Rodriguez at No. 3 winning by default.

Details of NHL’s investigations into Sharks’ Evander Kane come to light Tribune Content Agency SAN JOSE — Specific details about the NHL’s inquiry into Evander Kane have come to light, with the league saying there are two investigations underway into the San Jose Sharks forward. The NHL’s initial statement about Kane on Sept. 22, when it cleared him of allegations that he gambled on league games, said only that additional unrelated claims “involving potential wrongdoing by Mr. Kane” had been brought to their attention. The NHL at the time did not specify what the new allegations were. But the league has now stated that one “involves

serious accusations” related to his past behavior toward his estranged wife, and the other involves “allegations of inappropriate behavior potentially jeopardizing the health and safety of Club members.” Last week, Anna Kane leveled accusations of domestic violence and sexual assault against the Sharks player in a restraining order application filed in Santa Clara County Family Court. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman on Tuesday, the second investigation centers around a possible violation of See Kane, Page B2

Wednesday, however, Thompson will sit out. “He was shooting the lights out,” Kerr said. “He was smiling, laughing, joking around. It was really fun to see the old Klay back.” BRADLEY’S BACKCOURT CHANCES Bradley may have partnered with him to claim the shooting competition belt, but it’s his defense that most excites Kerr. “Avery’s been a pro for a long time, and he’s one of the best on-ball defenders in the league,”

Kerr said following Tuesday’s practice. Bradley, while an unlikely candidate to win the starting shooting guard role in Thompson’s stead, is one of the players battling for the final spot on the roster. Golden State inked the 30-yearold Tacoma, Washington, native to a contract following a workout last month as the team searches for depth in its backcourt. Since being drafted by the Celtics in 2010, Bradley has bounced around the league. “It’s cool to be on the other side with these guys, learning how they play and learning the tricks of how to create shot opportunities for yourself,” Bradley said Tuesday.

49ers: Garoppolo still having troubles From Page B1 two QB hits? No other defensive linemen made Green Bay pay for fielding an inexperienced offensive line that featured four starters who arrived with fewer than three career starts. Two years after harassing Rodger s, the 49er s have unproven Javon Kinlaw instead of All-Pro defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. And they still have Dee Ford, but their Pro Bowl pass rusher is coming off his third major back injury. On Sunday, Ford didn’t register a stat while playing 20 snaps and didn’t come particularly close to Rodgers on a pass rush while matched up against right tackle Billy Turner. • Jimmy Garoppolo: King of the Flat-Footed Flick. OK, Garoppolo isn’t one of the NFL’s top 10 QBs, but there can’t be many better at a specific highdegree-of-difficulty throw, which he unleashed twice in the second half on clutch 3rd-and-long completions. On the go-ahead drive, facing 3rdand-10 from Green Bay’s 36 with just under two minutes left, Garoppolo fired his flat-footed flick as he was getting drilled by defensive linemen Kenny Clark at the 45-yard line. The result: A 12-yard completion to Deebo Samuel — who was blanketed by All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander — that traveled 21 yards in the air. In the third quarter, Garoppolo sustained another touchdown drive by converting a 3rd-and-9 from the Packers’ 24. That time, he torqued his body to whip a 16-yard completion to Samuel, who was in between a group of defenders, on pass that traveled 26 yards in the air. • Why isn’t Garoppolo a top-10 QB, you ask? Exhibit A: First quarter, 3rdand-1 from the 49ers’ 34. Tight end George Kittle was wide open for a first down on a short crossing route. Garoppolo threw off his back foot — this was not a flat-footed flick! — and his high pass clanked off the hands of linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, who probably dropped a pick-six. Exhibit B: Fourth quarter, 2ndand-10 from the Packers’ 44. Green Bay 24, 49ers 21. As he was being sacked by Campbell, Garoppolo fired the ball behind him and the fumble was recovered by the Packers. The turnover led to three points in a game the 49ers lost by two. • Why did Shanahan choose to punt on 4th-and-1 from Green Bay’s 49 with five minutes left in the second quarter and the 49ers trailing 10-0? “That’s one I regret a ton,” Shanahan said Monday.

From Page B1 the NHL’s Covid protocols. It is unclear what these alleged violations were or when they may have occurred. Sharks coach Bob Boughner declined to comment Tuesday when about Sportsnet’s report that Kane violated Covid protocols. Requests for comment from general manager Doug Wilson, made through a team spokesman, were not immediately answered.

Shanahan explained that he thought running back Trey Sermon had lost a yard on 3rdand-1 on the previous play, so he punted on what he figured was 4thand-2. This leads to the obvious question: Why didn’t Shanahan notice where the ball was spotted on fourth down? It could have been because he was arguing with an official about the previous play, when it appeared the Packers jumped offside. Said NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth before the 49ers punted: “ Kyle Shanahan is red hot.” • The NFL’s highest-paid offensive lineman is human. Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams had breakdowns on two plays that resulted in Garoppolo getting walloped.

First, on 2nd-and-goal from the 1 near the end of the second quarter, pass rusher Preston Smith beat Williams with an outside move and dumped Garoppolo, who was fortunate not to be called for intentional grounding on his throwaway behind the line of scrimmage. Then, after the 49ers had scored two straight touchdowns and forced a three-and-out, they had a 3rdand-3 at their 35-yard line late in the third quarter trailing 17-14. However, the play was wrecked when Williams moved to his right, leaving Smith unblocked and allowing him to drill Garoppolo in the back in mid-throw, forcing an incompletion. “That was on Trent,” Shanahan said. “He got confused with where the center was going and the center was

Left (Smith) unblocked.” • Williams took out his frustration on the next play on cornerback Eric Stokes after he was beaten on 2nd-and-goal. On QB Trey Lance’s 1-yard scoring run, Williams pulled left and blocked the 194-pound rookie into Rocklin, prompting Lance to give him the ball to spike. However, the most critical block on the play came from center Alex Mack. He had to sprint laterally down the line and reach unblocked safety Adrian Amos, no easy feat for a 35-year-old playing in his 182nd career game. But the 13-year veteran got enough of Amos, who dove futilely at Lance’s feet as he cruised untouched into the left corner.

Investment in community colleges remains vital to our state

I

magine a teeming nerve center focused on fighting income inequality, educating the next generation of scientists, teachers and civil rights leaders, registering voters, vaccinating people against Covid19, battling hunger and sheltering those fleeing climate change-induced disasters. In cities and towns across California and online, 116 community colleges do all of this and more. They are our state’s primary point of access to higher education and have lifted millions of Californians into the middle class and beyond. They are the heart of their communities and the engines fueling California’s workforce. Too many community college students, however, have been forced by the pandemic to pause their college dreams and focus instead on staying Daisy Gonzales afloat in uncertain times. Many of them have been thrust into roles as primary income earners in their multigenerational home, full-time employment deemed “essential.” And many more are facing hunger and homelessness, which was already much too common for our students, even before Covid-19 struck. Since the start of the pandemic, community colleges have remained hard at work, modeling the agile learning we teach our students every day. Thanks to historic updates and investments in our colleges and students by the governor and state Legislature, vital work is well underway. For a system that has refused to stop fighting poverty, the greatest lessons have become clearer as our students, faculty and staff continue to be disproportionately affected by the pandemic. With poverty comes hunger, homelessness and the erosion of potential. Student financial assistance is the air that allows education to breathe. I know this closely as a former foster youth and first-generation college student. We need to own up to the total cost of success for community college students. While important structural reforms have been approved for the Cal Grant system this year, more changes and additional investment is needed to make it better and fairer. Assembly Bill 1456 authored by Democratic Assembly members Jose Medina of Riverside and Kevin McCarty of Sacramento and state Sen. Connie Leyva, a Democrat from Chino, would do this. The legislation deserves Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature. This investment will be a critical down payment on the #TotalCostOfSuccess for community college students. The pandemic amplified the need to expand agile teaching and learning modalities. Competency-based education and credit for prior learning will help us reach adult learners where they are and streamline clear pathways from program to career placement. Diversity, equity and inclusion are central to serving every Californian. We need to understand the complexities of poverty and become equity centered educators and lead anti-racist institutions. Partnerships with employers and regional coordination is critical to California’s recovery. Community colleges will help regional and state industry leaders innovate, incubate and lay the foundation of our future economy. Lastly, community colleges often serve as the final lifeline in state emergencies, housing those displaced, feeding those who are hungry, and becoming a center of coordination and basic community information. Community colleges must continue to be supported. The pandemic is far from over, and we will continue to learn. As our system continues to be on the front lines, we ask for your support to continue our mission to lift up Californians. All hands on deck are needed to unravel and counter the real and lasting effects of poverty on enrollment, retention and student success. Join us on the front lines by sharing your community college success story, encourage students to enroll, ask the governor to sign AB 1456 and support continued investment in our students, especially in ways that modernize and humanize financial assistance. If we work together, we will recover and realize a future where our state remains a powerhouse in the global economy and a catalyst for social and economic mobility at home.

Wildfires changing California forever, making it harder to see a future here By K endra Atleework

Special to The Washington Post

I

leave instructions for my dad whenever I go out of town. If there’s an evacuation, I tell him, take the contents of these drawers, the ones I’ve marked with yellow Post-its. Take an armload of clothes from the closet. Take my flute, my good winter coat, my letters from mom. When my friend goes out of town, she loads her guitar, computers and documents and drives them to her boyfriend’s parents’ house an hour away. Just in case, she says. In August, not too far from her cottage, a wildfire raged. Charred possessions floated downstream. Singed papers drifted onto neighbors’ porches: children’s drawings. Bible pages. A deed to a house. We are rural Californians: I live in the high desert town of Bishop, at the eastern foot of the Sierra Nevada. My friend lives in the dense woods across this range. For us, like many people in the West, the threat of fire has become part of life, a fact that is changing the mythology of our state and driving some of us away. In 2018, when I was in my late 20s, I moved back to my hometown. It was the right decision. I felt as if a missing sense had been restored. The smell of pastures in summer, fresh-cut grass at the Tri-County Fair, the evening sun a familiar pink glow behind the silhouette of the Sierra Nevada. I hiked mountain meadows with my dad, and I rejoiced in my home. That first summer, there was a little smoke from wildfires. The second summer, there was a little more. The third, we sweated in our houses to avoid the mottled air outside; the sunshine in the morning looked ill, and the mail carrier came

to the door in a respirator. “The apparent flattery the East Coast pays California is that the future begins here,” wrote Richard Rodriguez, a Californian. Settlers, he wrote, “damned the waters, leveled mountains, broke their backs to build our regret.” The siege against land and First Peoples began as long ago as the missions, then in earnest with the Gold Rush, and ever since the people selling something in this state have beckoned and promised the sun and moon. But a brutal shift will scuff even a golden myth. The 2010s saw the state’s lowest population growth in recorded history, and 2020 brought the first recorded net population loss. In September 2020, California’s higher-than-ever median home price was $712,430: nearly two times the national median. I grew up too scorpion-stung, too sun-blistered to fall completely for the myth of California, but I embraced it enough to believe I could make a home in the place I love. To believe I might stay here, alongside my family, in a town full of people who feel the way I feel about our valley, alongside the Nuumu, who loved this place before it was California. In 2015, I sifted ash with my neighbors after a freak winter wildfire burned our small community. We cried together, and I knew things were changing. Yet I never believed it would happen so fast. I never thought I would see so many days in September push past 100 degrees. Never thought I’d hear my friends across California talk of leaving. Summer 2020 saw the unprecedented closure of every national forest in the state. In 2021, the forests closed again. In mid-August, the Dixie Fire climbed the Sierra Nevada, stormed the crest and

descended the eastern flank to burn the valley below. A wildfire crossing that behemoth? Unheard of. Two weeks later, the Caldor Fire did the same thing. I talk on the phone to a fire ecologist who models wildfire behavior. After evacuating their Northern California town twice in August, she and her husband are considering whether a long-term future in the place they thought was home is really viable. Conversations in her industry are different this year. The word “unprecedented” is starting to sound cliché. Wildfires now grow so huge suppression tactics aren’t working. We talk of diversifying investments, of individual risk tolerance, and then there’s a silence. We are people who love our homes. Beneath our pragmatism runs an enormous grief. In time, some of us will say goodbye to the garden, to the backyard oak tree, to the skyline and the river. In time, our home will come to mean different things to outsiders, more frightening things than computers and Hollywood and beaches and whatever else the world dreams when it dreams of California. The smoke of our state will be seen from far away. It will tarnish the silver sea. But on good days – and still there are good days – the air is clear. I can see the stone wall of the mountains, and no fire reaches over the crest. I can see all the way to Nevada; I can smell autumn coming. On the good days, the sky above the mountains gleams. These are the days I’ll remember, when I’m an old woman in a world I cannot imagine. Kendra Atleework is the author of “Miracle Country: A Memoir of a Family and a Landscape” and lives in Bishop.

The music industry coddled R. Kelly; television took him down

Crossword

Lorraine Ali

Los Angeles Times

B

efore his conviction in New York on Monday by a federal jury on charges that he used his celebrity status to procure, then mentally and sexually abuse, girls and young women over a 25-year period, singer R. Kelly often seemed invincible. Much like the record business that profited off the superstar’s talent, Kelly, 54, appeared up until this week to be immune to the reckoning that toppled Hollywood titans like Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein. Now he’s the highest-profile musician unseated by the #MeToo movement and one of only a few artists held accountable in an industry rife with abusers and enablers. From famous performers to promoters and power brokers, the music business is still sheltering its abusers like it’s 1999. Despite Kelly’s marriage to a 15-year-old when he was 27, the videotape circulated of him urinating on a 14-year-old girl during a sex act, and year after year of underage survivors alleging rape, imprisonment and worse against the artist, he continued to sell millions of albums, fill arenas, garner Grammy nominations and work with contemporaries like Lady Gaga, Chance the Rapper and Celine Dion. So it makes sense that television, not the music biz, finally took Kelly down. The 2019 Lifetime docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly” and its follow-up, 2020’s “Surviving R. Kelly Part II: The Reckoning” marked the end to years of Kelly operating with impunity. Together they made a case against the artist largely off the power of firsthand accounts from his accusers, many of whom hadn’t told their stories publicly before appearing on the production. The fallout from the documentary was swift. RCA Records finally dropped Kelly, and within weeks a grand jury in Cook County, Illinois, indicted him on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Nine of those counts identified the victims as 13 to 16 years old. Gayle King’s explosive interview with Kelly was the next blow. Airing over several days in early March 2019, the “CBS This Morning” segments showed the anchor sitting calmly while the singer erupted over questions about the accusations and his legal troubles: “Y’all trying to kill me,” he screamed, jumping up out of his chair and pounding his chest. The manipulative and then threatening personality so many of his accusers had described was in full play on-screen. His actions only furthered interest in the

R. Kelly appears during a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse in Chicago, Sept. 17, 2019. allegations raised by the Lifetime documentary, and before 2019 ended he would also face sex-related charges in the New York case and in Minnesota, pleading not guilty to all. (Legal proceedings in Illinois and Minnesota are ongoing.) “Surviving R. Kelly” chronicled decades of serial abuse – mental and physical – by stringing together the accounts of women who said they were Kelly’s targets. Though many of them did not know one another, collectively their accounts established a pattern: Kelly groomed girls and young women, some as young as 13, using his celebrity to lure them into his inner circle, then sexually abused them. He and his handlers used various forms of intimidation to silence them if they made accusations. Individually, their harrowing stories are devastating and hard to watch. Lizzette Martinez recalled that she met Kelly at the Florida mall where he’d often seek out girls. She was a teen when he flew her to Chicago and put her up in a hotel room, where he kept her confined for days. He demanded she call him Daddy, required she ask permission to use the bathroom and made her perform sex acts on him in front of his friends. Dominique Gardner was one of the alleged survivors of Kelly’s abuse who spoke in the 2020 installment of the Lifetime series. She lived with Kelly up until 2019 in a cult-like compound with multiple women. Her account illustrated he was still preying on young women of color despite the scrutiny brought about by years of accusations. As one of his victims said: “People will say, ‘Well, why didn’t anyone notice?’ The answer is we all noticed. No one cared because we were Black girls.” A double standard of empathy and accountability weighted by racial disparity made it easy for Kelly to target women of color. No one was

looking out for them, and he had power and influence on his side. Enablers throughout his inner circle were critical players in his scheme to net vulnerable victims: The racketeering conviction handed down Monday is based upon the involvement of the singer’s entourage, which helped him procure women and girls and played an active role in silencing his victims. The music industry offered the perfect playground in which to operate. Kelly was insulated by the adoration of zealous fans, critical accolades and public apathy. Debauchery is part and parcel of pop stardom, right? It’s a culture that music reporter Jim DeRogatis found frustrating when he broke story after story about Kelly’s crimes, starting as far back as 2000. His reports should have been bombshells that ended Kelly’s career, but the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer continued to soar – until the #MeToo movement and documentary television forced the music industry to reckon with the monster it had nurtured and fed. Given this track record, perhaps it should be no surprise that it took stars like Mandy Moore and Evan Rachel Wood speaking out to bring attention to allegations of sexual misconduct against Ryan Adams and Marilyn Manson, respectively. Jerhonda Pace was one of the brave women who appeared in the “Surviving R. Kelly” series. She also testified at his trial. “Today my voice was heard,” she wrote Monday on Instagram. “For years, I was trolled for speaking out about the abuse that I suffered at the hands of that predator. People called me a liar and said I had no proof. Some even said I was speaking out for money. Speaking out about abuse is not easy, especially when your abuser is high-profile.” Television doesn’t make speaking out any easier, of course. But in Kelly’s case, as Monday’s conviction shows, it was instrumental in making voices like Pace’s come through loud and clear.

Spears retracts statement calling conservatorship documentary untruthful Los Angeles Times Part of a recent Instagram post from Britney Spears initially claimed that “a lot of” the information included in a new documentary about the pop musician “is not true.” That portion of the singer’s Monday statement has since been deleted, sending already skeptical fans into yet another frenzy over the mystery that is Spears’ Instagram account. “It’s really crazy guys,” the Grammy winner’s latest Instagram caption read. “I watched a little bit of the last documentary and I hate to inform you but a lot of what you heard is not true !!! I really try to disassociate myself from the drama !!!” By Tuesday morning, however, the text had been tweaked: “It’s really crazy guys,” the post now reads. “I watched a little bit of the last documentary and I must say I scratched my head a couple of times . . . I really try to disassociate myself from the drama !!!” It’s unclear – from either version of the statement – exactly which documentary the “Lucky” artist is criticizing, considering there are three new ones all released in the last week. Citing sources, reports from TMZ and Page Six have linked her remarks to the CNN special “Toxic: Britney Spears’ Battle for Freedom,” which aired Sunday night. The CNN program contained multiple revelations about the entertainer’s longrunning conservatorship, outlining the severe extent to which Spears’ team has allegedly monitored and limited her personal choices and activities over the past 13 years. Also released last week was “Controlling Britney Spears” – the buzzy sequel to FX’s bombshell documentary “Framing Britney Spears” – which included damning testimonials

Britney Spears, left, and Sam Asghari arrive at the premiere of “One Upon A Time. . . In Hollywood” at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, July 22, 2019. from a former member of the performer’s security team. Throughout “Controlling Britney Spears,” the ex-employee alleged that Spears’ conservators often spied on her private conversations with her children, boyfriend and lawyer by bugging her bedroom and tapping her phone. Spears hasn’t participated in the recent documentaries about her life, and she’s been vocal about her distaste for them. In March, she posted on Instagram that she was “embarrassed” and “cried for two weeks” after “Framing Britney Spears” premiered in February. The confusion around her latest condemnation has prompted many fans to question who is really behind the pop star’s Instagram account. A popular conspiracy theory among #FreeBritney advocates posits that someone involved in the “. . .Baby One More Time” hit-maker’s conservatorship has control over Spears’ social media and has been using the platform to shape the narrative surrounding her personal life. “Number one . . . that’s the past !!!” Monday’s edited Instagram post continues. “Number two . . . can the dialogue get any classier ??? Number three . . . wow they used the most beautiful footage of me in the world !!! What can I say . . the EFFORT on their part !!! Wow . . .”

Any information obtained may be used for that purpose. 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) 758-8052 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.Xome.com - for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 145525. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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) 758-8052 for information regarding the trustee's sale, or visit this internet website www.Xome.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case Ts# 145525 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.

SECURITY PUBLIC STORAGE 606 Parker Rd, Fairfield, CA 94553 Pub Dates 09/29/2021 & 10/06/2021 DR#00049800 Published: Sept. 29, Oct. 6, 2021 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FINANCE AUTHORITY COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2021-16 (CITY OF FAIRFIELD – MONTE VERDE) The Board of Directors (“Board”) of the California Municipal Finance Authority is considering the formation of a community facilities district (the “CFD”) under the authority of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, to fund certain public facilities related to new development within the City of Fairfield, and to incur bonded indebtedness of the CFD. This Notice contains a brief summary of the proposal, but you are referred to the Board's Resolution of Intention (Resolution No. 21-241, adopted September 17, 2021) and its Resolution of Intention to Incur Bonded Indebtedness (Resolution No. 21-244, adopted September 17, 2021) for details of the proposal. The proposal is to subject the property within the CFD to a special tax which will be used to pay for authorized facilities for the CFD, including paying principal and interest on bonds used to pay for authorized facilities. The proceeds of the bonds will be used to pay for the facilities and other expenses set forth in the resolutions referred to above. A map showing the land proposed to be included in the CFD is on file with the Board. As set forth below, the Board will hold a public hearing on the establishment of the CFD, the facilities to be financed by the CFD, and the levy of the special tax within the CFD. The proposal also includes authority to issue up to $11,500,000 in bonds for the CFD, to be repaid by the special tax levied in the CFD. Neither the Board nor any person outside the CFD has any liability for the special tax or the bonds. The security for the bonds issued for the CFD is limited to the property subject to the special tax within the CFD. In order to confer the authority upon the Board to levy the special tax and to issue the bonds, a public hearing must be held on the proposal, then the Board will decide whether to form the CFD, and finally the qualified electors within the CFD must approve the proposal by a two-thirds vote. Where the CFD is uninhabited (as is the case here) the qualified electors are, pursuant to law, the owners of property within the CFD. This is the notice of the public hearing. The public hearing will be held during the Board meeting on Friday, October 29, 2021, at the hour of 10:00 a.m. or as soon as possible thereafter, at 2111 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 320, Carlsbad, CA 92011 and 13838 Meadow Lane, Lytle Creek, CA 92358 (Posted Only; Dial in below to Participate); Telephonic Meeting Only (Dial in Number: (669) 900-6833 Access Code: 84671819008#). At the hearing, the testimony of all interested persons or potential special taxpayers for or against the formation of the CFD, the authorization to levy the special tax within the CFD, and the authorization to issue the bonds for the will be heard. If written protests against the proposed CFD are delivered to the Board at or before the time set for the hearing by either registered voters residing within, or the owners of property within, the proposed CFD, they will be counted toward a possible majority protest. Such protests by a majority of the registered voters residing within the CFD or by the owners of a majority of the land area within the CFD which is or will be subject to the special tax, if not withdrawn prior to the close of the hearing so as to reduce the value of the protests to less than a majority, will require the proposed CFD to be eliminated from immediate consideration, and prevent its being included in a subsequent proceedings for at least one year. If the Board, after the public hearing, determines that a majority protest under Section 53324 of the California Government Code was not made at the hearing, the Board may conduct an election by mailed ballot to levy a special tax within the CFD. A request for disability-related modification or accommodation, including auxiliary aids or services, may be made by any person with a disability who requires a modification or accommodation in order to participate in the public hearing by contacting Katrina Dair, Senior Accountant, (760) 795-9187, kdair@cmfa-ca.com, 2111 Palomar Airport Rd, Suite 320, Carlsbad, CA 92011. 9/29/21 CNS-3514016# THE DAILY REPUBLIC DR#00049704 Published: Sept. 29, 2021 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. CA-19-874687-CL Order No.: DS730019007166 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 2/21/2006.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Daniel Jerome Hutcherson, a single man Recorded: 2/24/2006 as Instrument No. 200600023791 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SOLANO County, California; Date of Sale: 12/1/2021 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: $333,402.27 The purported property address is: 1850 BLOSSOM AVENUE 117, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533 Assessor's Parcel No.: 0037-401-180 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-19-874687-CL. 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 800-2802832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-19-874687-CL 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.

Red Cross: Donors needed Man jailed after standoff to end ‘emergency’ shortage in August appears in court Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Blood and platelet inventories – described as an emergency – are at their lowest levels in six years, the American Red Cross reported. All blood types – especially type O – are needed, and area residents are encouraged to make an appointment to give blood by going to www.redcrossblood.org. “Fall is typically a time when the blood supply rebounds as donors are more available to give

than during the busy summer months, but this year has presented a unique and serious challenge,” Dr. Pampee Young, chief medical officer for the Red Cross, said in a statement. “While it’s clear the pandemic continues to weigh heavily on our minds, the Red Cross asks the public to remember donating blood and platelets is essential to the many patients that rely on lifesaving transfusions every day.” Anyone who donates through Thursday will receive a limited-edition football-inspired T-shirt

while supplies last, plus a coupon for a free haircut via email from Sport Clips Haircuts. All those who come to donate in October will receive a link by email to claim a free Zaxby’s Signature Sandwich reward or get a $5 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice, the American Red Cross said in a press release. Details about the giveaways are available on the Red Cross website. A blood drive is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at First Baptist Church Vallejo, 2025 Sonoma Blvd.

FAIRFIELD — A 31-year-old Fairfield man arrested in August on suspicion of attempted murder made a court appearance Monday where a readiness conference and preliminary hearing were set. Carlos Gomez-Jauregui will be back in court Nov. 5 in Department 15, Room 207, of the Justice Center in Fairfield before Judge Robert Bowers. G omez-Jauregui was arrested Aug. 23

after a two-hour standoff with Fairfield police at 361 Santa Maria Drive ended peacefully with him being arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Details of the incident were withheld by police at the time. Officers responded to the location shortly before 9:40 a.m., secured a search warrant based on the belief a domestic violence incident had occurred, then waited for the crisis negotiation team to resolve the matter.

Gomez-Jauregui continues to be held in Solano County jail on suspicion of attempted murder; torture; false imprisonment; assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily injury; corporal injury to a spouse, cohabitant or date; and a for a suspected probation violation that led to a rearrest and revoked probation, according to jail records. Gomez-Jauregui was originally held without bail, which has since been reduced to $725,500.

FBI stats: Rise in California homicides echoes the nation Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGLES — California’s 31% jump in homicides in 2020 reflected a national trend that saw the largest one-year increase since the FBI began collecting numbers in the 1960s, the bureau said Monday. The national increase was 29.4%, according to FBI statistics. The numbers also showed an increase in fatal gun violence. Nationwide, guns accounted for 76% of the weapons used in slayings last year, up from 73% in 2019, according to the FBI report. too, echoed That, DepartCalifornia’s ment of Justice numbers released in July that showed gun fatalities in 2020 accounted

for nearly 3 out of 4 of 2,202 homicides in the state compared with 69% the year before. “What is really striking is that this was a universal increase from the big cities to the smaller communities,” said Richard Rosenfeld, a criminologist at the University of Missouri St. Louis. “When you see it . . . everywhere in the U.S. that isn’t a local phenomenon.” The fact that California and the rest of the nation behaved similarly when it comes to more homicides, he said, would seem to suggest that “all the ideas that red states differ from blue states are nonsense.” Rosenfeld said more universal explanations and the most obvious are how the coronavirus pandemic affected society

and how the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police set off widespread unrest. National research he and others conducted on the pandemic’s effects on the criminal justice system showed that homicides climbed following the Floyd protests. There are a number of explanations, Rosenfeld said. In many cities officers were diverted from normal patrols to protest duty, and the pandemic sidelined large chunks of departments because of illness or quarantine. Rosenfeld said the increasing use of guns in violent crime reflected in the FBI data also goes hand in hand with a much higher rate of police detaining people carrying firearms in 2020.

USPS changes may slow some deliveries, will boost prices Tribune Content Agency Folks dropping letters in the mail starting Friday may want to add a few extra days for transit if their missives are going cross-country. Likewise, anyone sending packages and cards around the holiday season will want to have a smidge of extra cash on hand to pay the postage piper. The U.S. Postal Service is tweaking its delivery standards in changes set to take effect Friday. Local mail will still take two days, but mail traveling farther could take one or two days longer

than the previous threeday guarantee, the USPS said last week. The changes are negligible and might not be glaring, but their effects may be felt. “Most first-class mail (61%) and periodicals (93%) will be unaffected by the new service standard changes,” the USPS said in its statement and accompanying fact sheet. “Standards for single-piece first-class mail traveling within a local area will continue to be two days.” The overall goal is to increase reliability and reduce inefficiency, the USPS said, imbuing more

than 70% of first-class mail volume with a delivery standard of three days. “The Postal Service will increase time-in-transit standards by one or two days for certain mail that is traveling longer distances,” the USPS said. “By doing so, the Postal Service can entrust its ground network to deliver more first-class mail, which will lead to greater consistency, reliability, and efficiency that benefits its customers.” Part of the changes stem from the increased reliability of ground shipping over air, USPS spokeswoman Kim Frum said.
