FAIRFIELD — The California Biomanufacturing Center is building a workforce training program for its emerging industries and asked the Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday to support it with pandemic relief funds. Matt Gardner, chief executive of the center, said the organization will be back with a formal request when the time is right, but laid out the foundation for the training program. He said half the entry level positions would require nothing

more than a high school diploma, and provide an opportunity for displaced workers from hospitality and retail industries to get a fresh start. “We recognize there is a tremendous workforce displaced,”

Gardner said. He said in California alone, 900,000 to 1 million workers in the restaurant industry lost their jobs due to the Covid-19 shutdown, while nationally, there are 7 million retail workers out of jobs as well. James “Jim” DeKloe, one of the creators of the biotech program at Solano Community College, told the supervisors the American Rescue Plan Act also would benefit the academic goals of the college. He said the college program would work hand-in-hand with See Relief, Page A9

Supervisors add pandemic relief funds to infrastructure, premium pay ‘buckets’ Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors did not want to send a message that they would not support using federal Covid relief funds for infrastructure projects or premium pay options. So the board on Tuesday added a little more than $2 million to each of those categories, leaving about $2 million of unallocated dollars from the first $43 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds the county has received. Supervisor Jim Spering said he was “disappointed” that the staff left unfunded completely the infrastructure category, feeling that at least three board members had

supported putting some level of support in that “bucket.” In fact, he said he believed a board majority supported his position that all seven categories adopted by the board should get some level of funding. “I think we sent out a wrong message,” said Spering, who added it put the supervisors in a “tough position.” Supervisor Mitch Mashburn reiterated his support for premium pay to those frontline workers who risked so much when Covid-19 first hit and there were no vaccines to protect them. His comments seemed to focus on law enforcement, but the board also heard

tasked with uncovering what led to the melee by a pro-Trump mob that contributed to five deaths, injured scores of police officers and delayed the certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral victory. The panel has sought testimony and records from a broad array of former Trump administration officials, including Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign and served briefly in the White House but was a private citizen in the run-up to the riot. “The plain fact here is that Mr. Bannon has no legal right to ignore the committee’s lawful subpoena,” said Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., vice chair of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. In refusing to cooperate, Bannon may be seeking to shield Trump, Cheney added. “Mr. See Bannon, Page A9

WASHINGTON — A congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol is expected to vote Tuesday night to hold former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon in contempt for not cooperating with its inquiry, a significant escalation in its efforts to get answers about the insurrection from the firebrand political operative. The vote comes as the House panel is running into stiff resistance from former President Donald Trump, who has told allies and associates not to cooperate with the inquiry. On Monday, Trump launched a legal battle to stop the committee from obtaining records from his time in the White House, arguing in a federal lawsuit that the House committee is on a “vexatious, illegal fishing expedition.” The special House committee has been

WASHINGTON — The White House reiterated Tuesday its guidance to Americans not to visit Haiti, noting that a State Department warning against travel to the Caribbean nation is at its highest level as U.S. law enforcement grapples with a hostage crisis there involving 16 Americans. Gang members who abducted the American missionaries and one Canadian national over the weekend outside Port-au-Prince are demanding $1 million for the release of each hostage, three sources, including a high-ranking Haitian police official, told the Miami Herald. The request by the gang 400 Mawozo isn’t unusual. Kidnapping gangs in Haiti usually start by requesting high

ransom amounts and negotiate down, often demanding payments in U.S. currency. The abducted group worked for Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries. In a statement released Tuesday, the group said the ages of the adults being held captive range from 18 to 48, while the youngest victim is an 8-month-old baby. The remaining children are ages 3, 6, 13 and 15. The group continued to request prayers, saying many people, including the charity’s management, and Haitian and U.S. authorities, “are working diligently to bring our loved ones home safely.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Tuesday that the Biden administration would decline to discuss

crayon (I couldn’t read it, so she translated) her plans for “a fancy birthday tea party.” When she saw the look on my face, she patted my hand and said, “No worry, Mama. I help.” And help she did, with every detail, flowers, tablecloth, cake decorations, teacups (from her tea set) and even what she and I would wear. Her brothers could wear what they wanted, she said, but they had to take a bath. It was quite a wingding, the first of many to come. She did the planning. I followed orders. In high school, she celebrated birthdays by going out with her friends. But we still celebrated as a family with dinner and cake, laughter and love. Why does time fly when you’re having fun? She’s all grown up now, incredibly busy teaching school and being a mom. She makes sure her little guy’s birthdays are wingdings, but she doesn’t have time (or

energy) to plan a celebration for herself. So I will plan it for her. She never forgets my birthday. And I will always remember hers. I was there the day she was born. I had kept her to myself for almost 10 months, before delivering her into the world. Then I held her in my arms, looked into her lake-blue eyes and whispered in her ear: “I’m your mama. You’re my girl. We are going to have a good time.” And with that, the celebrations began. Not just birthdays and special occasions. But any time we’re together. Some times are more fun than others. And there’ve been a few that we would rather not repeat. Raising children is like raking leaves in the wind. You try to move them where you want them to go. But children and leaves have minds of their own. They love to fly on the wind. One day, the wind will stop,

and they will settle wherever they land. For the child, that is called growing up. For the parent, it’s called letting go. For the leaves, it’s just called mulch. One of life’s greatest gifts is getting to share, in good times or bad, your heart and soul and very last dime with a child you adore – to see that baby, that toddler, that middle schooler, that teenager (who aged you by several decades) grow up to be a beautiful, capable, caring adult. We’ll celebrate my daughter’s birthday with dinner and cake, laughter and love. She doesn’t want it to be a “big deal.” But I am her mama. And she is my girl. And we are going to have a good time.

Zoo funding helps vaccine effort for monkeys that were once on the verge of extinction Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — As humans across the planet are being immunized against Covid-19, a little-known and very different vaccination campaign is underway in the lowland Atlantic Forest of Brazil. About 60 miles northeast of Rio de Janeiro is the home of the golden lion tamarin, a squirrel-size monkey with a billowy orange mane that was once on the verge of extinction in the wild. In the early 1970s, it was estimated that only several hundred were still alive in their native habitat. But a decadeslong global effort turned the dire situation for the tiny primate into a success story. And the Philadelphia Zoo has played an important role through funding and breeding. By 2014, the years of work on behalf of golden lion tamarins appeared to have paid off with a thenestimated 3,700 reported in the wild. But then the monkeys were devastated by an outbreak of yellow fever. Nearly a third of the still fragile population is believed to have died. In a race against the viral disease, researchers in Brazil came up with a vaccine. So far, 180 monkeys have been inoculated – though the

effort has been hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic. The goal is at least 500, and with only a small group of people doing the work, the vaccinations will take several years. Andrew J. Baker, the Philadelphia Zoo’s recently retired chief operating officer, had previously spent years studying the monkey. In 2010, the zoo committed $500,000 over 10 years to Associação Mico-LeãoDourado, which translates as “ Golden Lion Tamarin Association.” The small nonprofit in Brazil has been leading the effort to bring its namesake species back from the brink. The 10-year grant ran its course, but the zoo is continuing to send $50,000 a year to AMLD. Baker said the funding is being renewed on a yearto-year basis. Luís Paulo Ferraz, executive director of the association, said the financial support from Philadelphia has been “essential,” allowing the nonprofit “to be able to identify the [yellow fever] problem, negotiate with different partners and finally develop, test, and vaccinate the animals.” When the extinction alarm was sounded for golden lion tamarins, their habitat had shrunk dramatically due to deforestation caused by encroachment from

humans, particularly through timber production, cattle ranching, and urban expansion. The global pet trade dating back centuries also took its toll. Madame de Pompadour, an influential mistress to King Louis XV of France, was known for keeping a golden lion tamarin. Coordinated conservation efforts led to a remarkable solution: sending captive-bred monkeys back to their ancestral home. From 1984 to 2000, zoos around the world provided 146 golden lion tamarins that were reintroduced to Brazil. Moreover, the zoos agreed that the Brazilian government would have legal ownership over the primates that remained in captivity. “We’re all just looking out for the good of the species,” said Michael Stern, curator of primates and small mammals at the Philadelphia Zoo. The monkey’s triumphant resurgence – it is depicted on Brazilian currency as a symbol of the nation’s commitment to conservation – soon came to a halt. In late 2016, an outbreak of yellow fever, which is transmitted by mosquitoes, occurred in the human population in southeastern Brazil. The first death of a golden lion tamarin from the

disease was documented in May 2018. AMLD estimated that more than 1,000 were killed, according to a scientific article published in 2019. An effective vaccine was available for humans, but none existed for nonhuman primates. So a Brazilian virologist and AMLD board member, Marcos da Silva Freire, helped to develop one. After successful testing and government approvals, AMLD began to vaccinate the wild popula-

tion in October 2020. The monkeys are captured, brought back to AMLD’s headquarters to be vaccinated, then returned to the forest. The goal is to inoculate enough monkeys to establish herd immunity, said James Dietz, a conservation biologist and vice president of Save the Golden Lion Tamarins, a U.S.-based nonprofit that coordinates with AMLD. Dietz said most of the deaths occurred among preexisting populations

located in the best intact forests. Reintroduced monkeys and some that were internally transferred were placed in smaller forest fragments, so it was likely more difficult for the virus to spread. “It’s safe to say, I believe, that if that work hadn’t been done between 1984 and 2000 — that’s when the reintroductions were done – that we would not have golden lion tamarins in the wild today,” Dietz said.

FAIRFIELD — The Covid-19 update Monday was a mixed collection of numbers, with hospitalizations and the number of disease-related deaths up while disease rates are still falling in Solano County. The Public Health Division reported that with three new Covidrelated deaths, the total in the county climbed to 315, and hospitalizations were up to 47 (from 40 Friday). It was not known Monday evening how many individuals are in intensive care units. However, the 10-day daily case average dropped to 28.4% (from 39.7%) and the sevenday positivity testing rate – while weekends tend to show lower

numbers with fewer being tested – was at 3%, which was the lowest it has been since mid-June. were There 148 new coronavirus cases reported since Friday’s update, taking the total to 45,258. It was not immediately clear if all the new cases were since Friday’s report, or if reporting delays explain some of the numbers. The county has raised concerns about another surge with the upcoming holidays – pointing toward Thanksgiving into Christmas and New Year’s – but retail and other reports indicate more people are expected to celebrate Halloween this year as well. rates Vaccination among residents 12 or older held at 68% for those who are fully vaccinated, and 79% for those

who have received at least one shot. The county has yet to report the number of booster shots it has administered. Vallejo had the most new cases since Friday, with 49, taking its full pandemic total to 13,278. Fairfield added 33 cases for a new count of 12,126. Vacaville is at 11,881 with 32 new cases, the county reported. The only other doubledigit increase reported was in Benicia, with 11, taking the city’s total over 1,500 to 1,507, the county said. Suisun City (3,203) added nine new cases, and Dixon (2,525) and Rio Vista (599) each added seven. There were no new cases to add to the 139 in the unincorporated area of the county.

MARE ISLAND — Touro University California’s mobile vaccination program has vaccinated 2,500 people across 55 different clinics, the university announced Tuesday. And those number continue to rise. The vaccinations come via Touro Cares MVP, a mobile vaccination program that brings together Touro pharmacists, student pharmacists and their nursing and medicine counterparts. The university reports in a press release that while pharmacists and student pharmacists have played a pivotal role, Cares MVP “has been a true team effort” with 809 volunteers serving nearly 3,300 volunteer hours and assisting nearly 3,000 people as well as providing educational interventions and sharing resource. “Pharmacists play an important role in increasing access to vaccines,” Fatima Hernandez, Pharmacist Project manager, said in the press release. “Many cultures see pharmacists as a trusted vaccine provider. Having pharmacy students at our clinics also ensures that future pharmacists are getting firsthand experience on how to become a trusted source of reliable information, as well.” The mobile clinics started small but grew quickly not only due to the efforts of Touro volunteers but thanks largely to a series of grants issued by East Bay Community Foundation, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and Partnership HealthPlan of California. With one grant still pending, the total funding through these groups for Cares MVP is expected to top $450,000, according to the press release. “We have made a significant impact in Solano County (and) this is only the

City schedules sessions related to new compost requirements Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The city has scheduled two town hall meetings next month to explain new composting requirements for businesses and apartment complexes. A campaign called Fairfield Goes Green will over the final two months of the year will seek to both “educate and inform” the public about the requirements of Senate Bill 1383 that take effect Jan. 1, according to a city press release. SB 1383 was signed into law in September 2016 and requires statewide reductions of organic waste going to dumps by mandating that these materials be composted, and that edible food be donated wherever possible. The city’s campaign will focus on the what city officials describe in a press release as “the importance of organic

waste recycling” as city residents, businesses and multifamily housing complexes prepare for the implementation of the state’s organic waste disposal requirements. City officials ask resident to complete an online survey at www.fairfield. ca.gov/green. The results of the survey will help the city tailor the campaign to meet the community’s needs, according to the press release. Republic Services and the city will host the two town hall sessions to kick of the campaign. A session from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 1 targets business owners. A session at the same times Nov. 8 is for multifamily housing property managers. Both sessions will take place in the council chamber at City Hall, 1000 Webster St. Both meetings are open to the public.

What Colin Powell’s death tells us about Covid vaccines Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — The death of Colin Powell from complications of Covid-19, despite being fully vaccinated, represents a rare but potential tragedy that can occur when the coronavirus infects someone with a severely compromised immune system, experts say. Before developing Covid-19, the 84-year-old former four-star general and secretary of State was suffering from an acute cancer of the blood, known as multiple myeloma. Not only can that cancer lead to a weaker immune system, but treatments can sap it further. “People who are immunocompromised don’t get the full benefit from vaccines,” said Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, chair of UC San Francisco’s Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. officials estimate Federal people with compromised immune systems account for 3% of the population nationwide. Experts say Powell’s death should not be interpreted as a failure of Covid-19 vaccines in the broader population. “This, to me, is not a story of the vaccines not working,” Bibbins-Domingo said. For Powell, “the vaccines were never going to work as well as they might’ve in a healthy person because of his immunocompromised state.” One piece of misinformation widely circulated by those who oppose the Covid-19 vaccine is that the shots are not effective in reducing the risk of transmission. That idea is false, Bibbins-Domingo said, adding that the Covid-19 vaccine is considered highly effective when compared with other vaccines. Still, any vaccine works better with a healthy immune system, according to Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, a UC San Francisco infectious diseases expert. “When you give a vaccine, you have to have an active and agile immune system to respond,” Chin-Hong said. But the kind of blood cancer Powell had is particularly dastardly: It targets the cells needed to make antibodies, and it’s the antibodies that are a key part of the immune system’s response to a future coronavirus infection. As a result, Powell’s health was likely hit with a “triple whammy” –

Christina Ponce, a public health nurse for Contra Costa County, fills syringes with the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. Covid-19 vaccines remain highly effective for most people. Among adults without compromised immune systems, effectiveness against hospitalizations ranges from 93% to 71%, depending on the vaccine manufacturer. an immune system weakened not only by cancer, but also probably from cancer treatments and his age, said Dr. Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla. Covid-19 vaccines remain highly effective for most people. Among adults without compromised immune systems, effectiveness against Covid-19 hospitalizations between March and August was 93% for the Moderna vaccine, 88% for the Pfizer-BioNTech shots and 71% for the shot made by Johnson & Johnson, according to a report published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But concern has been growing over the immunity of immunocompromised and elderly people. The CDC in August recommended that people with moderately and severely compromised immune systems who have received the two-dose Pfizer or Moderna vaccinations get a third dose at least 28 days after their second shot. Last month, the CDC recommended that seniors 65 and over, those 50 to 64 with underlying medical conditions and residents of long-term care settings get a Pfizer booster shot at least six months after receiving their initial twodose series. Also eligible for the booster are younger adults with underlying medical conditions and those who live or work in settings that may place them at higher risk for exposure to the virus, such as

Former President Donald Trump Tuesday derided Gen. Colin Powell in death as a turncoat who “made plenty of mistakes.” Breaking with a near-unanimous chorus of praise for the trailblazing soldier and diplomat, Trump slammed Powell as a “classic RINO,” or Republican in name only, “if even that.” “He was....always the first to attack other Republicans,” Trump said in an email message. “He

made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!” As he often does, Trump sought to turn Powell’s death from complications of Covid-19 into an attack on his own critics. He sarcastically noted that it was “wonderful” to see the media treat Powell with reverence despite his missteps, especially his checkered role in the launching of the second war with Iraq. “Hope that happens to me someday,” Trump wrote. Trump’s classless remarks stood

out in stark contrast to the praise for Powell that crossed ideological, racial and political fault lines. Former Republican President George W. Bush offered fulsome praise for Powell as did former President Barack Obama and President Biden. Powell, 84, died Monday of Covid despite being fully vaccinated. He was battling multiple myeloma, a blood plasma cancer that can cripple the immune system, leaving him vulnerable to the deadly virus.

hospitals, schools or grocery stores. An aide for Powell told the New York Times the former secretary of State received his second Pfizer dose in February and had been scheduled to get a third dose last week, before he got sick. “Data indicates that boosters will extend and enhance protection against Covid-19,” U.S. Surgeon Gen. Dr. Vivek Murthy said last month. “This is especially important for those who are at increased risk of bad outcomes with Covid.” Fully vaccinated patients who require hospitalization for Covid-19 are generally 80 or older or have compromised immune systems, Chin-Hong said. Of people hospitalized primarily because of Covid-19 in Los Angeles County’s massive public hospital system between mid-June and late September, 92% were not fully vaccinated. As of mid-September, there has been only one death of someone who was fully vaccinated and suffered a breakthrough coronavirus infection. The patient was 67 and was taking multiple immunosuppressive medications because of a serious underlying medical condition, L.A. County Health Services Director Dr. Christina Ghaly told the Board of Supervisors in September. “So while technically fully vaccinated, this individual was simply not able to mount an immune response from the vaccine,” Ghaly said.

World’s view of America is rebounding under Biden Tribune Content Agency Global approval of U.S. leadership rebounded to match a record during the first year of Joe Biden’s presidency, snapping back from all-time lows hit in 2020, according to Gallup’s newest Rating World Leaders report. Median approval of U.S. leadership surged to 49%, matching the high set in 2009, the Gallup survey across 46 countries and territories showed. That’s a 19 percentage point jump from last year. Ratings improved most significantly among European Union members, while only three countries reported a decrease : Russia, Serbia and Benin. Portugal, the Netherlands, and Sweden reported an approval increase of more than 40 percentage points. Scores from France and the U.K. also jumped, but remain below Obama-era levels. the lowest Russia delivered

Median approval of U.S. leadership during President Joe Biden’s first year surged to 49%, matching the high set in 2009, a Gallup survey showed. approval of any country at 13%. Croatia and Latvia were also among those with the lowest opinions of U.S. leadership. Gallup notes that polling wrapped up before the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which damaged Biden’s domestic approval ratings and could also knock international views. Still, “substantial gains across so many countries halfway through 2021 make it unlikely that the final rating for Biden’s first year in office could retreat to Trump-administration levels,” the report said. Of the 46 countries and territories surveyed, 30 are in Europe. Polling will continue through the rest of the year. The 2020 survey included 108 countries. Final 2021 numbers will be released early next year.

Garamendi introduces new Wildfires Act Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Rep. John Garamendi introduced the “Military Support for Fighting Wildfires Act” on Tuesday with Reps. Sara Jacobs (D-San Diego) and Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) as original co-sponsors. House Resolution 5560 would improve the U.S. military’s support for emergency response and provide congressional authorization for the California Air National Guard’s “FireGuard” program in partnership with the U.S. Air Force and the National GeospatialIntelligence Agency. Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, serves as chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, which oversees the National Guard and all joint training activities like FireGuard. His 3rd Congressional District includes Travis Air Force Base locally and Beale Air

Force Base near Marysville. “The American military has incredible capabilities for observation, which can and should be used to improve civilian emergency response to wildfires and other natural disasters with the appropriate safeguards for privacy,” Garamendi said in a press release. The legislation, if approved and signed into law, would: n Require the Department of Defense to reimburse states for reasonable costs incurred fighting fires caused by military activities on state land leased or otherwise used by the DOD, including National Guard installations. This reimbursement is only optional under current law, at the Defense Department’s discretion. n Provide congressional authorization for the “FireGuard” program between the California Air National Guard and the Defense Department, which was recently extended by the U.S. Air Force. This explicit congressional authorization

would allow the program to operate on an ongoing basis. n Require the Defense Department to include an accounting of costs for wildfire response in the annual budget request to Congress, including military support for states like California and FEMA/federal land management agencies. Current law requires the Defense Department to account for climate adaptation and mitigation costs on U.S. military installations in the president’s annual budget request. This accounting is needed, Garamendi said in the press release, to gauge how much military support for emergency response for wildfires is provided on a year-to-year basis. n Specify that National Guard training for emergency response for wildfires must also incorporate best practices and recommendations by the National Interagency Fire Center, not just the National Guard Bureau under current law.

n Allow the Defense Department to spend the funding necessary to reconfigure excess Coast Guard HC-130H aircraft for wildfire suppression, required by Congress to be transferred to the U.S. Forest Service or the state of California. Specify that reconfigured excess Coast Guard HC-130H aircraft transferred may also be used for search and rescue, not just “wildfire suppression purposes” as stipulated under current law. n Remove the cap (now seven) on the number of excess military aircraft that Defense Department may transfer at no cost to FEMA or the U.S. Forest Service for firefighting. Current law only allows the Defense Department to transfer excess military aircraft suitable for emergency response by civilian agencies. n Require the Defense Department to review existing authorities for using Air Force and Air National Guard modular airborne firefighting systems

and other Department of Defense assets to fight wildfires. n Preclude the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency from charging or requiring reimbursements by civilian agencies for satellite time used in emergency response for wildfires. From fiscal years 20112018, FEMA paid approximately $764,000 in total reimbursement to the National GeospatialIntelligence Agency. n Require the Defense Department to issue new guidance that provides a more streamlined approval process/ expedited review of requests for the use of unmanned aircraft systems by the National Guard for emergency operations, search and rescues, and other wildfire detection/support activities. n Direct the Defense Department to implement its own recommendations on improving use of unmanned aircraft systems by the National Guard, from congressionally directed review/report.

Survey shows Americans expect Vallejo Police announce new to spend $10B for Halloween safety grant Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Costumes are likely to be the single largest expense – followed closely by candy – for those celebrating Halloween later this month. Americans are expected to spend $10.14 billion on Halloween in 2021, according to a survey released by Well Kept Wallet, citing the National Retail Federation numbers as reported in USA Today. That is up from $8.05 billion in 2020, the Retail Federation reported. “An estimated 65% of Americans intend to celebrate Halloween or participate in Halloween activities this year, up from 58% in 2020 and comparable with 68% in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic,” the federation noted. “Households with children are much more likely to celebrate Halloween (82%) than those without (55%). The top ways consumers are planning to celebrate include handing out candy (66%), decorating their home or yard (52%), dressing in costumes (46%), carving a pumpkin (44%) and hosting or attending a party (25%),” the federation noted. The Well Kept Wallet survey asked what that money would be spent on this year. The results showed that 21% of the responders believe costumes will be their biggest expense, while 19% said candy, followed by 18% reporting equally between food and drink and house decorations, and 7% said pumpkins.

Halloween decorations are displayed near a driveway along Rockville Road in Fairfield on Monday. Americans are expected to spend $10.41 billion on Halloween in 2021. The Retail Federation reported that $3.32 billion is expected to be spent on costumes alone. One in five consumers expect to buy costumes for their pets. Spending on decorations is expected to climb to $3.17 billion. More than 1.8 million children plan to dress as Spiderman, more than 1.6 million as their favorite princess, more than 1.2 million as Batman and more than 1.2 million will dress as one of their other favorite superheroes, the Retail Federation reported. Of the adults planning to dress up for Halloween, more than 4.6 million plan to dress like a witch, more than 1.6 million as a vampire, more than 1.4 million as a ghost, more than 1.1 million as a cat and another 1.1 million as a pirate. The most popular pet costumes are pumpkin (10%), hot dog (5%), superhero or cat (each tied at 4%) and bumblebee (3%).

“We broke our data out by area and age group to show trending. For the age group 33 to 40 years old, they tend to spend on costumes. You can make the assumption that most in this age group have small children. Alternately, our 69 and older population tends to spend on candy,” the Well Kept Wallet survey results stated. Another 17% said they would not spend anything on the holiday, the survey revealed. The largest share of responders, 39%, indicated they would spend up to $25 on candy; 27% indicated they would spend between $26 and $50; 15% said they would not spend anything on candy; 10% said $100 or more; and 9% indicated between $51 and $99, the survey reported. “As for costumes, we found half our readers spent $25 or less. This includes people who do not spend money on costumes at all. On the other hand, 28% spent $50 or more,

and 22% spent $26 to $50. Based on the information, it seems our readers are either all in or out on costumes,” the survey reported. The Retail Federation reported, “On average consumers plan to spend $102.74 on costumes, candy, decorations and greeting cards – $10 more than they planned to spend last year. Households with children are estimated to spend more than twice the amount than households without children ($149.69 compared with $73.57) on Halloween items.” Perhaps a bit surprising, the survey found that 74% of the respondents said they would not visit area pumpkin farms, or if they do, they would spend very little money there. The survey shows that 41% would not spend anything; 23% between $1 and $25; 18% between $26 and $50; 10% between $50 and $99; and 8% stated they would spend $100 or more.

VALLEJO — The Police Department will soon roll out a six-figure police traffic services program to deter dangerous and illegal driving behaviors that increase the risk of crashes in the community. “Impairment, speeding and other dangerous driving behaviors jeopardize the safety of other people on the road,” Police Chief Shawny K. Williams said Tuesday in a press release. “This funding allows us to provide necessary traffic enforcement measures with the goal of reducing serious injury and fatal crashes on our roads.” The $102,000 grant will pay for additional enforcement measures that include: n DUI checkpoints and patrols specifically focused on suspected impaired drivers. n Enforcement operations focused on suspected distracted drivers in violation of California’s hands-free cellphone law. n Bicycle and pedes-

trian safety enforcement operations focused on driver behaviors that put vulnerable road users at risk. n Enforcement operations focused on top violations that cause crashes, such as speeding, failure to yield, stop sign and/or red-light running, and improper turning or lane changes. n Community education presentations on traffic safety issues such as distracted driving, DUI, speeding, and bicycle and pedestrian safety. n Collaborative enforcement efforts with neighboring agencies. n Officer training and/or recertification in the Standard Field Sobriety Test, Advanced Impaired Roadside Driving Enforcement and Drug Recognition Expert programs. The grant program will run through September 2022. Funding was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Gibson to star in ‘John Wick’ prequel series Tribune Content Agency Mel Gibson is headed back to his television roots for his next gig. The Oscar (and Golden Raspberry Award) winner has been tapped to star in “The Continental,” described as the prequel to Keanu Reeves’ blockbuster “John Wick” film series. Exploring the origin behind the titular hotel-for-international assassins from the “John Wick” universe, “The Continental” will be presented as a three-night special-event TV series produced for Starz by Lionsgate Television, according to Deadline. Set 40 years before the events of the film series, the project will

center on the young version of Winston Scott, who is pulled back into a world of his past and takes on a harrowing attempt to seize control of the property. Gibson will reportedly play a character named Cormac. Other details are not known. “The Continental” marks the “Lethal Weapon” star’s first small screen role since 2004’s “Complete Savages.” Gibson executive produced the ABC sitcom, which ran for one season. “Menace II Society” director Albert Hughes has been tapped to helm “The Continental,” which has been in development since 2018.

Thank goodness he left when he did! It’s been 33 years. My daughter and I are close; I have a great life and career. But I’m weighing in because of the queasiness I read here on this subject; just like you’d tell a friend that she has spinach in her teeth or toilet paper on her shoe, for heaven’s sake, give her a heads up if you’re certain that her spouse repeatedly acts single when she’s not around. To answer an unspoken question, I never felt angry at my friends. Enough time was already wasted. — The Truth Set Me Free Dear Truth: It sounds like you made great steps toward creating a wonderful life without your husband. Thank you for your letter.

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder We have a hug in bridge. It occurred in today’s deal. Do you see where? The auction was textbook two-overone. North responded one no-trump forcing, showing 6-9 points with fewer than three spades or 10-12 points and at most three spades. South, with a minimum balanced hand, rebid in his lower-ranking three-card minor. North raised to show a maximum with, usually, five-card support and definitely denying three spades. South did well to pass because three no-trump would have failed after a heart lead. Against three clubs, West led his fourth-highest heart. South took East’s queen with his ace and erred badly by not cashing dummy’s two top trumps. Then he could have turned to spades, where East would have had to follow four times. Declarer could have discarded three red-suit losers from the board and collected an overtrick. Instead, South started spades immediately, and when West ruffed the third with the club 10, declarer ditched dummy’s heart loser. What did West do now? That fan of Yogi and Boo-Boo shifted to the diamond jack. He had South’s 10 in a bear hug between his jack and nine. However declarer struggled, he had to lose two clubs and three diamonds to go down one. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Bannon and Mr. Trump’s privilege arguments do, however, appear to reveal one thing,” she said. “They suggest that President Trump was personally involved in the planning and execution of Jan. 6, and this committee will get to the bottom of that.” The unanimous contempt vote stemmed from Bannon’s decision to defy the committee’s subpoena seeking records and a deposition scheduled for last week. Bannon’s attorney, Robert Costello, said in a letter to the committee that Bannon would not comply with the subpoena until lawmakers reached an agreement with Trump or until a court rules on the matter. Costello cited a letter he received from Trump’s attorney requesting that Bannon assert executive privilege, a legal doctrine that has allowed presidents to withhold certain confidential communications from public disclosure. Costello did not respond Tuesday to an email seeking comment on the committee’s vote. The committee voted on a resolution, which it released Monday, that recommended the House hold Bannon in contempt of Congress for defying its subpoena. If the full House votes to endorse the resolution, Bannon will be referred to the Justice Department for possible prosecution. That vote could come as early as this week. The resolution asserted that Bannon “had multiple roles relevant to this investigation, including his role in constructing and participating in the ‘stop the steal’ public relations effort that motivated the attack, (and) his efforts to plan political and other activity in advance of

from a public health nurse who believed they, too, have earned a bonus for what they have done during the pandemic. Kay Brown, who works for Solano County Public Health, noted that some businesses and other counties have taken steps to reward those frontline employees. County is Solano scheduled to get about $86.95 million, the second

January 6th.” It noted that Bannon urged Trump supporters to “take dramatic action” and said on his podcast on Jan. 5 that “all hell is going to break loose tomorrow.” Bannon was right. The next day, hundreds of Trump supporters swarmed into the Capitol, beat police officers, and chanted, “Hang Mike Pence!” after Trump called out his vice president for refusing to try to overturn the electoral vote. The rioters forced lawmakers to evacuate both chambers of Congress. The resolution also argued that Bannon, who held no government role in January, had no legal basis to ignore the committee’s subpoena. It noted that it is not seeking information related to official government matters but rather “efforts to overturn legitimate election results and an attack on our democratic institutions.” “It’s shocking to me, shocking that anyone would not do anything in their power to assist our investigation,” committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said before the nine-member panel voted on the resolution. “So it’s a shame that Mr. Bannon has put us in this position, but we won’t

take no for an answer.” In a statement, Rep. Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., a committee member, said “Bannon’s unwillingness to cooperate with our committee leaves us no choice but to hold him in criminal contempt.” While the committee aims to hold Bannon in criminal contempt, it has been negotiating with other former Trump advisers to obtain their records and testimony. Among those it is seeking to question are former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former Pentagon aide Kashyap Patel and Dan Scavino, a White House aide who was close to Trump. It is also seeking records from Jeffrey Clark, a former top Justice Department official. A report by the Senate Judiciary Committee alleged that Clark was involved in efforts to help Trump overturn the election results. Legal experts said Bannon does not have much of a case. It seems more likely, they said, that he is hoping to delay proceedings, perhaps until Republicans potentially take over the House after the midterm election next year. If that were to happen, the committee’s investigation would almost surely end. They

also noted that Bannon may be seeking to curry favor with Trump’s most die-hard supporters. “His defiance may end up with him getting a fine or a jail sentence, but it will also enhance his credibility” among Trump’s supporters, said Norman Eisen, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who represented the House Judiciary Committee during Trump’s first impeachment proceeding. “He is playing to the peanut gallery while also hoping for a delay.” It is not clear if the Justice Department would prosecute Bannon. He could face a $100,000 fine and a year in jail if convicted of obstructing Congress. It would not be the first time Bannon ended up in federal prosecutors’ crosshairs. He was charged in August 2020 with federal fraud and money laundering in an alleged scheme to defraud supporters of the president’s U.S.-Mexico border wall. Trump, in the last hours of his presidency, pardoned Bannon. Ross Garber, an adjunct professor at Tulane Law School, said prosecuting Bannon could prove to be difficult because the Justice Department would have to show he willfully obstructed Congress. Bannon could argue he was following legal advice and was respecting the request of a former president, Garber said. “A prosecution of Bannon is not a slam dunk,” he added. Biden said Friday he hopes “the committee goes after them and holds them accountable,” referring to Bannon and others who might defy congressional subpoenas. Biden added that he believed federal prosecutors should seek to try those who defy the subpoenas.

is not the case.” Saturday’s mass kidnapping has brought Haiti’s security crisis to a boil, with general strikes launched by the country’s transport sector and business community against surging crime there entering a second day Tuesday. The FBI is leading the U.S. effort to free the hostages, and has a team on the ground in Haiti alongside State Department officials working toward their release with the Haitian National Police. They are in touch with the gang responsible.

The missionaries entered their third day in captivity Tuesday. They are part of the Mennonite community, and many recently arrived in Haiti. When they were kidnapped, the group was returning from a visit to an orphanage that receives support from Christian Aid Ministries. “Before the kidnapping, their work throughout Haiti included supporting thousands of needy school children, distributing Bibles and Christian literature, supplying medicines for numerous clinics, teach-

ing Haitian pastors, and providing food for the elderly and vulnerable,” Christian Aid Ministries said. “In recent months, they were actively involved in coordinating a rebuilding project for those who lost their homes in the August 2021 earthquake.” Founded in 1981, Christian Aid Ministries is based in Millersburg, Ohio, and serves the Amish, Mennonite and other conservative Anabaptist groups and individuals, according to its website.

lot of support for the county to join and help fund a regional homeless response strategy being worked on by five Solano County cities, representatives from three of which spoke to the board Tuesday. A key part of that plan would be the development of navigation centers. The concept has strong support from Supervisor Mitch Mashburn, but Supervisor Jim Spering is concerned it would duplicate the efforts of the Community Action Partnership of Solano, also

known as CAP Solano. Supporting small and grassroots nonprofits also was re-emphasized from the special board meeting Oct. 12, including efforts to streamline the procedures for requesting funds. Ian Goldberg, the county budget officer, said a county team has been formed to look into that issue. Among the interests that stepped forward Tuesday were representatives from organizations that work to prevent the proliferation of the feral cat population,

which those speakers said has exploded during the pandemic. What had been an annual haul of 300 to 400 cats being trapped, neutered/spayed and released – or adopted – had blown up to 850 cats in 2020. Cindy MacDonald and Kris Cushing asked for county support to pay for the surgical services needed to get the problem in check, that primarily being the cost of paying for veterinarian tech personnel to do the procedures.

half of which is expected to arrive in May 2022. The initial conceptual plan presented allocated $10 million each – or about 23% of the $43 million – toward negative economic impacts, services to communities disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, and revenue replacement for losses incurred by the county. The rest of the initial allocations are $3 million to Public Health, representing 7%, and $4 million, or 9%, toward county administrative costs for running

programs, which were described as going to be “significant.” The limit is 10% for administrative costs. for Except $250,000 that went to the Solano County Superior Court’s Legal Access Center, none of the funds have been specifically allocated, and the board has made it clear it can shift funding as it sees fit. The board also reviewed and made some changes to a public survey that will be launched in the near future, seeking public input on how Covid-19 affected

their lives. A question about educational losses was added to the survey, and the county will also post a Spanish-language version. “We are very Anglofocused, which is unfortunate,” said Supervisor Erin Hannigan, who wants the county to seek input from across the demographic spectrum. The county has until Dec. 31, 2024, to obligate the funds, and all of the money must be spent by the end of 2026.

DeSantis won’t say if he’ll get vaccine booster Tribune Content Agency

Antonio Perez/Chicago Tribune/TNS

Air travelers line up at O’Hare International Airport’s United Terminal in Chicago, Friday, Sept. 17.

New policy bars foreign survivors with just 1 shot Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The new U.S. travel policy will block entry to foreign nationals who have recovered from Covid-19 and then gotten one dose of two-dose vaccines – a standard that France and the European Commission consider full vaccination. The U.S. announced on Friday that it would open its borders to vaccinated travelers beginning Nov. 8, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that would include “any combination of two doses” from twoshot vaccines. An agency spokeswoman confirmed that people with just one dose would be excluded, regardless of whether they’ve also recovered from Covid-19. That distinction could hobble travel plans across Europe, where people who’ve recovered and gotten one shot are considered fully vaccinated by some countries, at least for now. That standard is also one of the eligible sce-

narios for the EU digital Covid-19 certificate. The U.S. has never considered recovery from Covid-19 in its domestic definition of vaccination. U.S. residents are required to have both shots of a twodose vaccine or Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot vaccine to be deemed fully vaccinated, regardless of whether they’ve contracted the virus. The Biden administration’s plan to reject foreign travelers who’ve recovered but haven’t received two shots, regardless of whether their home country considers them vaccinated, may become a fresh point of tension in the relationship between Washington and Europe – and with France in particular. Ties were strained last month by Australia’s announcement that it would abandon a deal to purchase French diesel-powered submarines to enter into a partnership with the U.S. and U.K. to acquire

nuclear-powered subs. U.S. President Joe Biden spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron on Sept. 22 to try and move past the eruption, pledging to “open a process of in-depth consultations, aimed at creating the conditions for ensuring confidence and proposing concrete measures toward common objectives.” Abroad, the definition of “fully vaccinated” varies. France and Norway each consider someone fully vaccinated after recovering from Covid-19 and receiving a single dose of a two-dose vaccine. Macron is among the resid In Greece, people who get a first dose within six months of recovering from Covid-19 are considered fully vaccinated. In Austria, people who’ve recovered from Covid-19 and then received one shot can wait a year for their second shot and still be considered vaccinated in the interim.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not saying whether he will get a booster shot for the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine he received in the spring, a spokesperson said. It’s also unknown whether the Republican governor will hold any events at vaccination sites to promote the boosters. “Gov. DeSantis chose to get the Covid-19 vaccine several months ago, after his age group became eligible,” spokesperson Christina Pushaw said. “As he has said, he made that choice because of evidence that getting vaccinated lowers an individual’s risk of becoming seriously ill from the virus. But the right choice for him, or even for most people, is not necessarily the right choice for everyone.” Pushaw added, “I do not have any details to share about the governor’s personal medical decisions. “As the governor has said, each person should be able to make his or her own informed choices,” she said. “Anyone who has questions or concerns about Covid-19 vaccination or booster shots should consult with a health care provider.” Last week, an advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration recommended emergency use authorization for booster shots for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The FDA also recommended a third Pfizer shot for the elderly and immunocompromised in September, and approval for a Moderna booster could be days away. DeSantis received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which required only one shot for initial effectiveness, in early April. He did not publicize his shot as other governors and officeholders did, instead announcing it after the fact. Since his blitz of events at vaccination sites promoting the shots over the winter and early spring, DeSantis has not held a vaccine-specific event since expanding eligibility to the vaccine to all ages in April. DeSantis later sharply criticized the FDA’s decision to pause Johnson & Johnson shots in mid-April due to a possible risk of blood clotting in young women. “I don’t think people should be freak-

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not announcing if he will get the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine booster. ing out,” he said on April 13. “I got J&J. I think my arm was sore for 45 minutes. And then that was that. So I think the track record thus far in Florida has been good.” The next month, DeSantis was even more critical, saying that the decision caused people to question the effectiveness of the vaccine. “The way the federal government’s handled the Johnson & Johnson has been a total disaster,” he said in May. “It scared a lot of people unnecessarily.” Since then, though, DeSantis himself has begun to downplay the vaccines’ effectiveness, saying at a Regeneron clinic opening in Orlando in August that “the vaccines are helping to reduce severe outcomes, [but] not protecting against transmission to the extent that we had hoped.” He also has made opposition to vaccine mandates a primary focus, backing a new law that allows the state to levy or threaten fines for local governments, agencies or businesses that require “vaccine passports.” DeSantis also chose Joseph Ladapo as the state’s new surgeon general. Ladapo has written several op-eds in The Wall Street Journal, including “Are Covid Vaccines Riskier Than Advertised?,” “Vaccine Mandates Can’t Stop Covid’s Spread” and “An American Epidemic of ‘Covid Mania.’” The shift in rhetoric comes as antivaccination sentiment has become increasingly vocal among a segment of Republican voters DeSantis would likely need if he runs for president in 2024. Polls have shown Republicans are among the largest demographics who say they’re either skeptical or refuse to get the vaccine

After fires, parts of state might catch a break Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — After suffering through a devastating summer of wildfires, Californians may catch a break this month as a series of expected storms could effectively end the fire season in the northern and central parts of the state, experts say. Although it’s not yet clear exactly how much precipitation will fall, weather models are showing a fairly high likeAl Seib/Los Angeles Times/TNS lihood that a series of wet storms could There were overcast skies over Tarantula drop multiple feet of snow at higher ele- Mountain in Thousand Oaks Monday vations up north through Halloween. morning.

By Monday evening, the Lake Tahoe Authorities were warning those living area had already seen about 3 to 4 inches near and downstream of the burned of rain within the preceding 24 hours, areas to stay alert ahead of the rain. with higher elevations recording up to With another storm expected to roll in Wednesday, crews tasked with mitigation 8 inches, officials said. The storms are expected to be fairly efforts were “trying to prioritize areas

that we can easily access now and safely access now,” Ontiveros said. The risk of flooding and debris flows is particularly high since there has been virtually no transition period between severe fire season and intense precipitation, Swain said. Research he has performed, some of which hasn’t yet been published, suggests the state is likely to see these types of dramatic swings more frequently going forward. “This is sort of that notion of increasing precipitation whiplash we keep talking about in California in a warming climate, where we get these drier conditions overall but more intense precipitation when it is raining and a sharper transition between those wet and dry periods,” he said. In lower-elevation northern areas like the Bay Area and San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, 1 to 2 inches of precipitation over a week would promote a flush of green vegetation that offsets the flammable dead and brown material, reducing fire danger, said Brent Wachter, predictive services meteorologist with the National Interagency Fire Center’s Northern California Operations. Wachter writes the agency’s monthly significant fire potential outlook for the region and most recently forecast abovenormal fire danger for the area west of the Sierra crest. “But if we get the moisture that we’re hopeful to get in the next seven to 10 days and we get that green-up going into November, then I’ll be able to knock everything down to normal

for November and then normal beyond that,” he said. The picture is different for Southern California, which doesn’t usually see as much autumn precipitation and is not expected to get as much moisture with this event. Even if a significant amount of rain were to fall, there’s still plenty of time for Santa Ana winds, which typically start in the fall and can persist into January. The hot, gusty winds can sap the landscape of moisture and fan large, damaging fires. For now, wildfire season in Southern California is “absolutely not” over, said Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Sean Ferguson. “You know it’s bad when the best scientists can do is say, ‘Well, I have my fingers crossed too,’ but that’s kind of where we are,” said David Schimel, senior research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “We’re hoping for more rainfall to end the Southern California fire season.” Two years of drought have parched vegetation to the point where it’s primed to ignite at the drop of an ember. A sprinkling of moisture, like what Southern Californians woke up to Monday morning, provides only momentary relief. All told, weather officials estimated the light drizzle that dampened grounds in the region amounted to about five-hundredths of an inch of rain. By afternoon, the sun peeked out from behind cloud cover and began drying out the residual moisture.

Drought-stricken state cuts water use by 5% in August Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — Californians used 5% less water statewide in August than during the same month last year, an improvement in conservation that state regulators said they hope to see redoubled to address one of the most severe droughts on record. People saved more water in cities and towns across the state during August than in July, when they used just 1.8% less than the previous year. The monthly water conservation figures, which were

released Tuesday during a meeting of the State Water Resources Control Board, showed parts of the state already meeting or approaching Gov. Gavin Newsom’s call for Californians to voluntarily reduce water use by 15%. Water use decreased 18.3% in August in the North Coast region, and was down 9.9% in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the South Coast region of Southern California, which is home to more than half the state’s population, people used 3.1% less water in August than they did in the same month

in 2020. While still far from Newsom’s target, that was significantly better than in July, when the region’s water use was down a minuscule 0.1%. “It is encouraging and heartening to see an over-doubling of the conservation effort from July to August, really demonstrating that it does take time for… the message to spread, and for really the response to be seen,” said Joaquin Esquivel, chair of the state water board. “We’re seeing good signs, but we need to continue to ensure we’re conserving.” The unrelenting dryness

over the past year, which was compounded by extreme heat, ranks among the most severe droughts in more than a century of records in California. Based on statewide precipitation totals, the water year that ended Sept. 30 was the second driest on record, surpassed only by 1924. State officials say the past two water years have been the driest on record for a two-year period, surpassing the drought of 1976-77. Scientific research has shown that the heating of the planet with the burning of fossil fuels is making droughts more

intense in the West and reducing the flows of rivers beyond the decreases they would have seen without global warming. Major reservoirs in Northern California, from Shasta Lake to Folsom Lake, have dropped to low levels. The federal government has declared a shortage on the Colorado River for the first time, which is forcing substantial cuts in water supplies for Arizona, Nevada and Mexico. Because California faces the potential for another dry winter, Esquivel said, it will be especially important for people to do more to conserve.

NL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Eighth-inning uprising lifts Dodgers past Braves in Game 3 The Washington Post LOS ANGELES — If you didn’t know better, you might think the Los Angeles Dodgers’ power button is hidden away somewhere, stuck in a corner where they can push it only when they find themselves completely backed in, all options exhausted.

Because it wasn’t until they were trailing by three runs in the eighth inning of Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday night, six outs from falling into a three-game deficit, that their offense regained consciousness in time to grab a 6-5 win over the Atlanta Braves. It was then, as the sun

set on Dodger Stadium and maybe their season if they didn’t intervene, that Will Smith poked a single up the first base line to give the Dodgers a tiny bit of life. AJ Pollock’s groundball sneaked up the middle, just out of the shortstop’s reach, to give the Dodgers a reallife rally. And it was then, just as

the lights started to take effect, that Cody Bellinger swung through two pitches as if he were trying to hit them to the moon. On the third swing, he shortened things up, a little less motion, and less became more. He hit a fastball high and out of the zone to deep right See Dodgers, Page B3

AHS grad Muhindo Kapapa gets 3 sacks in leading USD to win Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

Nothing disrupts an opposing football team’s attempt to rally than a good pass rush. For the University of San Diego against Drake on Saturday, Muhindo Kapapa provided that good pass rush. The Armijo High graduate recorded three sacks, including two on back-to-back plays on Drake’s final possession, to help lift the Toreros to a 13-10 win, their third straight victory after opening the season 0-4. Kapapa’s first sack of Drake quarterback Sean Cooney came in the first quarter, a 4-yard loss on the Bulldogs’ third offensive play of the game. He kept up the pressure in the second quarter with a quarterback hurry that resulted in an intentional grounding penalty. San Diego, which trailed most of the game, took the lead for good with a 44-yard Brandon Eickert

field goal with 9:50 left in the game. Kapapa helped the Toreros keep that lead with sacks of Cooney resulting in losses of 9 and 8 yards, respectively. Two plays after the second sack, Cassius Johnson sealed the victory with an interception with 33 seconds to go. KAPAPA Kapapa finished with six tackles, four of them solo. For the season, the 6-foot-2, 275-pound redshirt senior has 33 tackles, 17 of the solo, and is third on the team with five tackles for loss. He’s also tied for the team lead with 3 1/2 sacks and is tops with five quarterback hurries. Meanwhile twins Amir and Zamir Wallace (Fairfield residents, De La Salle) each had a tackle for USD. Brandon Talton (Vacaville) put Nevada ahead to stay at 20-17 with 55 seconds to go in the first half with a 45-yard field goal in an eventual 34-17 victory over Hawaii. Talton had an earlier 23-yard field goal

and added four extra points. Carson Strong (Wood) completed 34-of54 passes for 395 yards and two touchdowns for the Wolf Pack (5-1, 2-0 MWC). Tayvian Cunningham (Wood) played for Arizona (0-6, 0-3 Pac-12) in a 34-0 shutout by Colorado Southern Utah (1-6, 0-4 Big Sky), coached by former Fairfield player Demario Warren, dropped a 59-35 decision to Northern Arizona. Zion Booker (Fairfield resident/ St. Patrick-St. Vincent) and Wyatt Rech (Vacaville) played for the Pacific Boxers (3-2, 2-1 NWC) in a 52-23 loss to Linfield. Emmett Espino (Armijo) had a tackle for Minot State (0-7, 0-7 NSIC) as the Beavers had a late field goal attempt blocked and fell 36-35 to Northern State.

Sharks’ sizzling top line paves way to impressive 5-0 road win Tribune Content Agency MONTREAL — The Sharks have only played two games but already it feels like they’re a different team than they’ve been the last two seasons. Better on the forecheck and quicker to pucks all over the ice. More organized defensively, a deeper forward group, and improved in goal. Playing their first game in Canada since

Feb. 2020, the Sharks used all those attributes to earn a 5-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday at Bell Centre. Timo Meier had a goal and two assists, Jonathan Dahlen scored his first two NHL goals and Logan Couture added two assists in a dominating performance by the Sharks’ top line. Erik Karlsson and Kevin Labanc also scored and goalie Adin Hill

made zz saves, including 11 in the second period, as the Sharks won the first two games of the season for the first two games of the season. The game was also the first for the Sharks since the NHL announced a 21-game suspension for forward Evander Kane for 21 games for violating the league’s Covid protocols. Kane will not be eligible to play again until Nov. 30 in New Jersey.

Here are the takeaways from Tuesday’s game. SIZZLING TOP LINE: Dahlen, playing just his second NHL game, struck for two goals in the first 3:36 of the first period. His first goal came on a double-redirection, as a shot from the point by Brent Burns went off Meier’s stick, then off of him before it got past See Sharks, Page B2

Our serve receive, passing, tough serving and defense put us up in the match.” Kailyn Kaiser led the way with 19 digs, serving 13-13 with an ace; Sammy Brown added 17 digs, serving 18-18 with three aces; Anaya Rodriguez chipped in 15 digs, 24 assist and serving 18-19; Dani Rydjord added 13 digs, led with 15 kills; Chris Ridney Cruz added seven kills and four blocks; Gina Garlick added seven

kills and two blocks; Sarah Elledge added two kills on zero errors; and Jeryn Baldonado had 16 assist, two kills and two aces Solano improved to 13-11 overall. “We served much better as a team, 96%,” Williams added. “On offense we struggled a bit, but Dani, Gina and Chris kept us afloat.

NBA agent Jeff Schwartz blasts Kings for ‘mismanagement’ of Marvin Bagley III The Sacramento Bee The ill-fated relationship between Marvin Bagley III and the Kings took another ugly turn Tuesday when his agent ripped the organization for mismanaging his client a day after the team declined to offer him a rookie-scale contract extension. Jeff Schwartz, Bagley’s agent at Excel Sports Management, released a strongly-worded statement 24 hours after the deadline for Bagley’s rookie extension passed without even a whisper of a new deal. Schwartz revealed the Kings have told Bagley he will not be part of coach Luke Walton’s rotation when they open the season on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Schwartz also said the Kings passed on potential trades involving Bagley

over the past seven months because they weren’t satisfied with the returns. “Sacramento has informed Marvin Bagley he is not in the opening night rotation, which is completely baffling,” Schwartz said. “It’s clear they have no plans for him in the future, and yet, passed on potential deals at last year’s deadline and this summer based on ‘value.’ Instead, they chose to bring him back but not play him, a move completely contradictory to their ‘value’ argument. This is a case study in mismanagement by the Kings organization.” Bagley, 22, is entering the fourth season of a star-crossed career that hasn’t gone as planned. The Kings selected Bagley out of Duke with the No. 2 pick See Bagley, Page B12

Sharks From Page B1 Canadiens goalie Jake Allen just 82 seconds into the first period. Then on his second goal, Dahlen followed up Couture’s shot on Allen as he got behind the Canadiens’ defense and tapped the puck past Allen at the 3:36 mark of the first. Couture was flying all night. Besides his two helpers and work on the backcheck and in the defensive end, he won nine of 12 faceoffs in the first 47 minutes of the game. Meier, too, continued his strong start to the season, and again showed why he loves playing against the Canadiens. He came into Tuesday with four goals in five career games against Montreal besides his two helpers on Dahlen’s goals, beat Allen 38 seconds into the second period as the Sharks scored their third power play goal of the season. HILL STEADY: Hill gave the Sharks another solid performance, but a nod must be given to the skaters around him as well. Hill made 20 saves in the Sharks’ season-opening 4-3 win over Winnipeg on Saturday, but the Jets only managed 13 shots over the final 40 minutes. Tuesday, the Sharks held the Canadiens to just three shots in the first period, and four through the first 15 minutes of the third. ANOTHER SPECIAL NIGHT: Besides the power-play goals by Meier and Labanc, the Sharks also killed a delay of game – puck over glass call on Jasper Weatherby in the second period and a holding call on Lane Peterson in the third. ROAD DOGS: The Sharks were looking for their first 2-0 start to a season since the 201617. That year, the Sharks also had their first game at home, a win vs. Los Angeles, before they started a five-game trip

Alumni: Gonsolin gets win on 2 pitches From Page B1 Marine as the Mariners (6-0, 3-0 NEWMAC) remained unbeaten after a 56-34 sinking of MIT. In Weber State’s 13-7 loss to Montana State, Jemaurri Bailey (Vanden) made a tackle for the Wildcats (2-4, 1-2 Big Sky). Minnesota-Morris (4-3, 3-0 UMAC) earned its second victory of the season with a 42-35 win during which Mondo Calderon (Fairfield) had four tackles, two solo with one for loss. Running back Daniel Wright Jr. (Vacaville) made more on impact as a receiver with a 32-yard touchdown catch in Tarleton State’s 41-20 win over Dixie State. Wright also rushed for 8 yards on four carries for the Texans (3-3, 1-1 WAC).

MLB Talk about being economical – and in the right place at the right time. After throwing just two pitches, Tony Gonsolin (Vacaville) was the winning pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series, Tuesday. The right-hander was called on to pitch with two on and two out in the top of the eighth inning. With the Atlanta Braves leading 5-2, the Dodgers couldn’t afford to give up any more runs and on his second pitch Gonsolin got Ozzie Albies to hit a line drive to right center on which centerfielder Chris Taylor made a sliding catch to end the threat. The Dodgers then rallied for four runs in the bottom of the eighth, during which Gonsolin was pinch hit for, to take a 6-5 lead with Kenley Jansen struck out the side in the top of the

ninth to save the former Bulldogs’ win. Gonsolin also pitched 1 2/3 innings in Game 1 of the NLCS in an eventual 3-2 loss to the Braves. Gonsolin gave up two hits, including a solo home run to Austin Riley, with one strikeout and was saddled with a blown save as Riley’s homer in the bottom of the fourth tied the score at 2-2. Gonsolin, who was predominantly at outfielder with Saint Mary’s, made the most of a chance to bat, getting an infield single.

Volleyball Former Vacaville High teammates clashed when Libby Christensen and Montana State (9-10, 5-3 Big Sky) defeated Michelle Taynton and Sacramento State (8-10, 3-5 Big Sky), 3-1.

Dodgers: Rallied From Page B1 center and tied a game that his team spent in some combination of haze and quicksand until he lifted it out, surgically repaired right shoulder and all. “We were dead in the water,” Manager Dave Roberts said. “[Bellinger’s homer] flipped everything.” That swing seemed to lift a weight off his team’s shoulders, one Mookie Betts picked up and hurled out of the stadium when he hit an RBI double that scored Chris Taylor to give Los Angeles the lead a few batters later. What had looked certain to be a 3-0 Atlanta lead in the series was suddenly a 2-1 difference – utterly surmountable for these Dodgers, who came back from a 2-0 deficit against this team in this round just last year. Then, as now, they seemed to need the pressure. Then, as now, they came alive. Perhaps it could only have been Bellinger who saved the Dodgers. The 2019 NL MVP is one of just a few Dodgers to find offensive revival, instead of regression, this October. After a miserable season spent trying to regain strength in the shoulder he hurt last postseason, after he hit .165 and drove in just 36 runs, Bellinger has driven in six runs in the Dodgers’ nine playoff games. His swing was the Dodgers’ third hit with runners in scoring position all series. They needed every one of them. But that eighth-inning swing was different, not the same all-or-nothing type that caused him

to struggle with velocity this season. It wasn’t the same big swing he took at breaking balls in the dirt all year. It wasn’t meant to slug. It was meant to single. “For him to be able to get to a ball out of the zone at the top is incredible,” Dodgers hitting coach Brant Brown said. “All the kudos go to him for his diligent work. It’s been tough for him.” Putting the barrel on the ball became Bellinger’s more limited goal late in the season, after a year of long swings and big misses yielded a season so unproductive it strained credulity from a former MVP. He and the Dodgers’ hitting coaches lowered his hands, trying to cut the loop out of his swing and go directly to the ball. He did drills to help him hit velocity, and he learned to let breaking balls go in exchange for being able to hit fastballs up. Adjustments are hard to make on the fly, but Bellinger had no choice. “When you hit rock bottom,” Roberts said, “there’s a lot of opportunity for openness and change.” Atlanta reliever Luke Jackson said later he would throw the same pitch again in the same situation. It was up and out of the zone at 96 mph. Those aren’t supposed to be hittable - particularly for a hitter like Bellinger, who struggled to meet velocity with the barrel all season. “Probably in years past, not having gone through the struggles, he might not have made that adjustment,” said Roberts, who admitted that at times this See Dodgers, Page B12

10 scary movies to watch this Halloween Tribune Content Agency For those who love the deliciously unsettling, tightness-in-the-stomach, hey-wait-what-was-that-noiseoutside feeling that a scary movie can bring – here are 10 recommendations from the current century, all of which scared me silly (or made me giggle). Happy Halloween! “The Babadook” (2014): Like so many great horror films, Australian director Jennifer Kent’s masterfully creepy debut calls to mind Henry James’ “The Turn of the Screw” (and the excellent 1961 horror film made from it, “The Innocents”): a dark house, a haunted child, a young woman who may or may not be succumbing to madness. Somebody please turn the lights on. (Streaming on Amazon Prime, Vudu) “The Conjuring” (2013): It’s just a haunted-house movie – but oh, what a house. James Wan, known for the “Saw” franchise, here shows he can craft an impeccable old-school “Amityville Horror”-meets-”The Exorcist” horror flick, in which a family moves into a remote farmhouse and terrible things promptly happen. (Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, Vudu) “Crimson Peak” (2015): If you, like me, like your thrillers with a touch of Gothic, feast your eyes on this red-underlined dream from Guillermo del Toro, where the ghosts seem to be made of equal parts smoke and black lace. Set in a crumbling mansion more than a century ago, it’s a movie both delicate and wildly overthe-top – as if a classic Gothic horror film exploded, leaving blood on the floor. (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Vudu) “Get Out” (2017): You proba-

Daily Cryptoquotes

bly saw Jordan Peele’s wickedly smart debut when it came out a few years ago, but “Get Out” is the sort of movie that rewards re-watching – the better to ponder its layers. This story of a young Black man visiting his white girlfriend’s very strange family will scare you, make you laugh and, in its examination of race, make you uncomfortable – but trust me, you won’t want to get out, not until the final frame. (Amazon Prime, Vudu) “The Invitation” (2016): Karyn Kusama’s film is a haunted-house movie – but the house is a smart modern pile in the Hollywood Hills, and the ghosts aren’t exactly bumpin-the-night sorts. Watch as a dinner party goes horribly wrong, and as Kusama ratchets up the tension so expertly that suddenly everything seems like an evil omen. You might wish you could leave before dessert. (Amazon Prime, Vudu) “The Orphanage” (2007): This gorgeously creeped-out thriller from Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona is another haunted-house tale, but this time the house is a former orphanage, and the child at its center is a frail little boy with imaginary friends. It’s a movie that understands the terror behind the idea of a child who never grows up – and, in Belen Rueda’s remarkable performance, the enormity of a mother’s grief. (Starz, Amazon Prime, Vudu) “Shaun of the Dead” (2004): I’ve rewatched this zom-romcom many a time, and it never fails to hit its mark – a wonderfully deadpan blend of dark comedy and zombie horror. Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a regular London bloke, and what makes Edgar Wright’s film work so well is how it treats

a zombie invasion as just one more thing Shaun needs to deal with in a life full of obstacles. Watch for a scene-stealing performance by Penelope Wilton (better known now as Cousin Isobel on “Downton Abbey”) as Shaun’s sandwich-making mum. (Amazon Prime, Vudu) “Them” (2007): No one paid much attention when it came out, possibly because of the very generic title. But I remember having the daylights scared out of me by this short, snappy thriller from French filmmakers David Moreau and Xavier Palud, in which a couple moves to a remote country house where it soon becomes clear that someone – or something – is stalking them. How do you say “brrrrr” in French? (Amazon Prime, Vudu) “Under the Skin” (2014): Horror or science fiction? Jonathan Grazer’s film expertly straddles both genres, leaving its viewer both intrigued and chilled. Scarlett Johansson plays a bloodthirsty alien who looks like, well, Scarlett Johansson, luring unsuspecting men to violent ends. It’s an eerie, disorienting film, complete with screechy violins on the soundtrack and an overwhelming sense of utter darkness. (Showtime, Amazon Prime, Vudu) “What We Do in the Shadows” (2015): Let’s wind this list up with some laughs, shall we? Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement directed and star in this mockumentary that’s basically a reality show in which vampires complain about their flatmates – an inspired idea that’s now an FX series. “Just leave me alone to do my dark bidding on the internet!” Clement’s character pouts. Indeed. (Amazon Prime, Vudu)

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder West leads the heart king? North, knowing they could have 26 combined points, invited game. He had to go via Stayman because an immediate two-no-trump response would have been a minor-suit transfer. If North had had four spades, he would have rebid two spades, natural and game-invitational but nonforcing. West’s hearts were so strong that he did not worry about South’s rebid, but he was pleased to see the 10 on the board. South had only four top tricks. He needed luck. To start, declarer held up his heart ace until the third round, East discarding a club. A spade to the jack was followed by a diamond to the 10. When that held, South continued with the spade king. West took the trick and cashed his heart nine: spade eight, club four, heart four. West shifted to the club 10, dummy’s jack winning the trick. Now declarer played a club to his king and a club to the ace; then he led the diamond queen. When East played low, South put up his ace and went down in his contract. Why didn’t declarer finesse again in diamonds? I have no idea! If West had the diamond king, he would have won trick five to guarantee the defeat of the contract. The robot should not turn pro!

Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for Politicon/TNS file (2018)

Dan Bongino speaks onstage during Politicon 2018 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Oct. 21, 2018.

Talk-show host Dan Bongino threatens to quit over Cumulus vaccine mandate Tribune Content Agency ATLANTA — Dan Bongino, a rising star in the conservative talk show world on 300 stations nationwide, told his listeners Monday that he is threatening to bolt if his employer, Atlanta-based Cumulus Media, doesn’t change its coronavirus vaccine mandate. Chief executive Mary Berner gave employees until Sept. 27 to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 before returning to the office and wrote in a memo that “it would neither be fair nor do we have the bandwidth to make exceptions based on individual preferences,” according to industry publication Inside Radio. Some employees who can work remotely full time are exempted. But Cumulus Media corporate said no to most staff who requested exemptions, including those who applied based on religious beliefs and for medical conditions, Inside Radio said. Bongino is vaccinated because he has Hodgkin lymphoma but is protesting the mandate on behalf of other employees who don’t want to get vaccinated. “I’m not really happy with the company I work with right here,” Bongino said on the radio Monday. “I believe these vaccine mandates are unethical. I believe they’re immoral. I believe they don’t take into account the science of natural immunity due to a prior infection. I believe they’re broad-based and

don’t take into account an individual circumstances of why they may or may not want to take a vaccine. And they’re antithetical to everything I believe in.” “So, I’ll say again, I’m not going to let this go,” Bongino continued. “Cumulus is going to have to make a decision with me – if they want to continue this partnership or they don’t. But I’m talking to you on their airwaves. They don’t have to let that happen. And I wouldn’t mind if they didn’t. Because it’s really unfortunate that people with a lower profile than me, who don’t have 300-plus stations, have been summarily either shown the door or been put in really untenable circumstances because they simply want to make a medical decision by themselves.” Cumulus has declined to comment. Bongino’s radio show also airs on the streaming service Fox Nation and he hosts a weekend show on Fox News. Westwood One also distributes well-known conservative talk-show hosts such as Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Chris Plante. None of the network’s major hosts have left Cumulus though a few talk-show hosts in specific markets have departed or been let go for not getting vaccinated. Cumulus owns 413 stations nationwide in 86 markets, making it the second largest radio company behind only iHeartMedia.

DR#00050209 Published: Oct. 15, 20, 2021 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING CITY OF RIO VISTA PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Rio Vista will consider an amendment to the Brann Ranch Development Agreement to extend the term of the previously approved Development Agreement by and between the City of Rio Vista and Encore Liberty II LLC for the Brann Ranch at its Regular Meeting on November 2, 2021, at 6:00 p.m., to be held via Zoom at Weblink: https://zoom.us/j/98631154749, Dial by Location: +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose), Meeting ID: 986 3115 4749. Project Title: Brann Ranch Development Agreement Amendment Lead Agency Name and Address: City of Rio Vista 1 Main Street Rio Vista, Ca 94571 Contact Person and Phone Number: Rob Hickey, City Manager (707) 374-6451 Ext. 1101 Project Location: 31 Richard Brann Road, Rio Vista, CA 94571 (APN: 0178-230-100) Project Sponsor's Name and Address: Glen Martin 1600 South Main Street Walnut Creek, CA 94596 General Plan Designation: Neighborhood Residential (NR) and Neighborhood Service/Mixed Use (NS/MXD) Zoning: Residential Low Density (R-1) Planning Commission Recommendation: On October 13, 2021 the Rio Vista Planning Commission considered the Brann Ranch Development Agreement Amendment and, following discussion and public comment, recommended City Council approval of the Development Agreement Amendment by a vote of 7-0. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The California Environmental Quality Act (Section 21000, et seq. of the California Public Resources Code, hereafter "CEQA") requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary "projects." The project was previously analyzed in an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") certified by the City Council on April 19, 1990, and also subsequently analyzed in the City's 2001 General Plan EIR. Once an EIR has been prepared for a project, a supplemental or subsequent EIR is only required when new information or changes to the project will cause new significant impacts. (See Pub. Resources Code, § 21166.) An upto two-year extension of the Development Agreement without changing any terms or conditions of the actual construction and development plans does not meet that threshold, therefore, no further CEQA review is needed. NOTE TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES: This meeting will be held via teleconference only pursuant to Government Code section 54953(e) to protect attendee health and safety. All requisite opportunities for and protections to public access and public comment shall be provided, as required by that section and the Brown Act, Government Code section 54950 et seq.

Notice of Public Hearing And Summary of Proposed Ordinance AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SUISUN CITY, CALIFORNIA, REPLACING EXISTING CHAPTER 8.10 (RECYCLABLE MATERIALS) OF TITLE 8 (HEALTH AND SAFETY) OF THE SUISUN CITY MUNICIPAL CODE, WITH A NEW CHAPTER 8.10 ENTITLED “SPECIFIC REGULATIONS FOR ORGANIC WASTE DISPOSAL REDUCTION, RECYCLING, AND SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING PROGRAMS,” TO ENACT REGULATIONS IN COMPLIANCE WITH SENATE BILL (SB) 1383 FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FOOD AND ORGANICS RECYCLING AND RELATED SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING PROCESSING AND REPORTING; ADOPTION OF AN EXEMPTION FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Suisun City, will hold a public hearing to conduct the first reading of a proposed ordinance replacing Chapter 8.10, currently titled Recyclable Materials, of Title 10 (Health and Safety) with a new Chapter 8.10, titled Specific Regulations For Organic Waste Disposal Reduction, Recycling, And Solid Waste Collection. The public hearing will take place at a regular meeting of the City Council on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, at 6:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard, at the Suisun City Council Chambers, 701 Civic Center Boulevard, Suisun City, California. (Based on the current state of emergency, and in accordance with Government Code Section 54953, subdivision (b), and SB 361 (2021), this hearing may be held wholly or partially over Zoom; in the event the meeting is held over Zoom, instructions on participating will be provided in the meeting agenda notification). SUMMARY The City Council of the City of Suisun City will consider and may take action to waive the first reading, and introduce by title only, the proposed ordinance. SB 1383, the Shortlived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016, requires the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (“CalRecycle”) to develop regulations to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane. As adopted by CalRecycle, these SB 1383 regulations (“SB 1383 Regulations”) place requirements on multiple entities including the City of Suisun City, residential households, commercial businesses and business owners, commercial edible food generators, haulers, self-haulers, food recovery organizations, and food recovery services to support achievement of statewide organic waste disposal reduction targets. SB 1383 Regulations require the City to adopt and enforce an ordinance or other enforceable mechanism to implement relevant provisions of the SB 1383 Regulations, and to reduce community food insecurity by requiring commercial edible food generators to arrange to have the maximum amount of their edible food, that would otherwise be disposed, be recovered for human consumption. All interested persons are invited to attend the public hearing and comment upon any proposed action, express opinions, or submit evidence for or against the matter as outlined above. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge any of the above actions in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or included in written correspondence delivered to the City Clerk, 701 Civic Center Blvd., Suisun City, California, 94585, prior to, the public hearing. If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter or wish to review the full text of the proposed ordinance, please contact the City Clerk at (707) 421-7300 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, or email clerk@suisun.com.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, October 20, 2021 B9

‘It will only intensify’: Inflation spikes lead to rising voter concerns. Will Biden be blamed? Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Democrats and Republicans alike have long expected next year’s midterm elections to hinge on the state of the coronavirus pandemic, the job market and former President Donald Trump’s influence on the GOP. Now, they see a new potential top issue emerging: inflation. strategists Political from both parties are closely watching the price of everyday goods, which continue to rise at higher-than-expected rates, preparing to grapple with a pocketbook issue that could resonate with voters in a way it hasn’t in decades. Republicans in particular see the issue as a potent one for the upcoming midterm campaign, putting increasingly rising inflation rates at the heart of their attacks on the economic policies of President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress. “I believe the economic challenges the country faces, with inflation leading them, will be the single biggest concern to voters this cycle,” said Don Conston, president of the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC with ties to House Republican leadership. “It’s already there, and likely that it will only intensify further going forward.” Not everyone is so certain. Economists say they don’t know if prices will continue to increase, and even if they do, political operatives say it’s unclear whether voters will blame the president. But veteran Democrats concede that it’s an issue

they are now watching closely for the first time since the rampant inflation of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the latest in a string of challenges facing the Biden White House and the party. “It’s like an old nightmare girlfriend from 40 years ago who shows up on your front steps,” said James Carville, chief strategist for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign. Carville labeled the political threat of inflation “not an emergency” but a “matter of some concern.” The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently released data showing that prices have risen 5.4% over the last year, according to the consumer price index, which tracks the cost of housing, food, energy and other items. It was the largest yearover-year rise in 13 years, well above the Federal Reserve’s target of a 2% rate of increase. That has led to growing fears in economic and political circles that inflation could continue into 2022. The data was also released the same week that concerns about supply-chain disruptions at the nation’s ports crested, with the Biden administration announcing that the Port of Los Angeles would operate 24 hours a day to help relieve the logjam there. White House officials have for months fended off questions about their concern over inflation, saying the price increases are only temporary and mostly a consequence of the economy returning to normal after the worst of the pandemic. But polling has shown

that voters are worried about rising prices. A Pew Research Center survey from late last month found that 63% of Americans said they were “very concerned” about rising prices for food and consumer goods, topping the other economic issues they were asked about. And according to a Fox News poll from midSeptember, 82% of voters said they were concerned about inflation and higher prices, more than any other issue, including the pandemic and situation in Afghanistan. Republican operatives argue that the longer inflation remains a concern, the more likely voters are to naturally blame the party in power in Washington. They say that will especially be the case if Biden’s job performance rating on the economy as a whole remains low. Less than 40% of voters approved of Biden’s handling of the economy in a new Quinnipiac University poll, while twothirds of voters said the economy was going in the wrong direction in the latest Politico/Morning Consult survey. “If inflation continues to rise, I think it’s very problematic for Democrats. It’s something we haven’t seen in 40 years,” said Glen Bolger, a veteran Republican pollster. “The longer this goes on, the more it impacts the economy and the mood of voters. Voters are nervous.” Republicans have heavily criticized Biden and the Democrats on a variety of fronts over the past nine months, ranging from immigration to crime to Afghanistan. But

President Joe Biden speaks at the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 324 in Howell, Michigan, Oct. 5. inflation has been among the most prominently featured issues in their early paid media campaigns. The NRCC, CLF, and its associated nonprofit group, American Action Network, have all aired TV or digital ads over the last three months blaming vulnerable House Democrats and their policies for rising prices. Officials with those groups say they expect that messaging to continue heading into the election year. “This is going to be an issue all the way through to the midterms,” NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer said in an interview. “This will come back to bite them at the ballot box in 2022.” While Republicans say inflation could have particular resonance with independents, suburbanites and seniors, they argue the issue is uniquely consequential because it directly affects Ameri-

cans across the board. “You’ll hear candidates talking about it over and over and over again, because it’s a way to make the consequences of failed leadership real to average voters,” said John Ashbrook, a Republican strategist and former aide to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Some Democratic pollsters say they are now asking voters about inflation for the first time in recent memory, while other operatives say the issue comes up organically in focus groups. And they acknowledge that average voters are noticing the rising prices and are concerned about them. But Democrats also say that if the rate of inflation starts to decrease over the next several months, the issue could become a moot one for the public by November 2022. And even if it does continue to increase, they argue that Biden and congressional Democrats aren’t neces-

sarily going to receive the brunt of the blame. According to the recent Fox poll, of the 49% of voters who disapproved of Biden’s overall job performance, just 3% cited inflation as the specific reason. “Taxes going up is a very simple thing to understand, and something people can see in their property tax bill,” said Anna Greenberg, a longtime Democratic pollster. “It’s harder for them to see how government policies lead to inflation.” Ultimately, Democrats still say that their party’s fate in the midterm elections is likely to be more tied to the trajectory of the pandemic. “It’s out there, but I’m not sure the general public is so focused on it right now,” Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt said of inflation. “I still think the overriding issue here for Biden and the Democrats is Covid.”

White House doubles down on executive action as Democrats weigh trimming Hill climate plan The Washington Post WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is working to salvage its credibility on climate change by shoring up key provisions in a troubled tax-and-spending bill and demonstrating its ability to cut greenhouse gas emissions without the help of Congress. The rush to write climate legislation as part of a massive budget bill comes ahead of critical United Nations climate talks in Glasgow, Scotland, starting Oct. 31, where Biden and his team plan to push other nations to cut their own emissions. Failure to enact an ambitious set of policies could undermine Biden’s ability to broker a deal aimed at averting catastrophic warming. Biden’s climate agenda suffered a major blow after a key Democratic senator, Joe Manchin, W.Va., expressed opposition to a program to reward electric utilities for switching to renewable energy - and penalize those that don’t. The Clean Electricity Performance Program, or CEPP, aims to accelerate power plants’ transition away from fossil fuels, including coal mined in Manchin’s home state. Now, White House officials and some of their key allies in the Senate are arguing that the United States can still meet its commitment under the Paris agreement to cut the nation’s carbon output in half by the end of the decade, compared to 2005 levels, through a combination of

other executive and legislative action. “We’re just going to have to work hard on a continuing basis to achieve that goal in this package and what the administration can do,” said Sen. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass.) in an interview. Biden hopes to use the U.S. pledge to secure more ambitious targets from other major emitters at the U.N. summit, which aims to keep the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) compared to preindustrial levels. The planet has already warmed by 1.2 degrees Celsius. “The unspoken consensus surrounding the U.N. climate summit is that the Biden administration needs to get its infrastructure bills through Congress unhindered to keep the 1.5 degrees target on the table,” said Chris Venables, head of politics at Green Alliance, a London-based think tank. “Without the U.S. showing it is deadly serious about investing in the clean economy, the diplomatic background music will be critically weakened.” Frans Berkhout, professor of environment, society and climate at King’s College London, said in an interview that while European officials might be more understanding of the domestic political constraints that Biden faces, Russia and China would probably use any legislative failings to their advantage. “My view is the international climate policy depends on the relationship and balance

between China and the United States,” Berkhout said, adding that Chinese officials could leverage Biden’s struggle back home for “one-upmanship.” Markey, who spearheaded a climate bill through the House more than a decade ago only to watch it later die in the Democrat-controlled Senate, is hoping to avoid a similar fate this time. “We just have to make sure emissions reductions, jobs and justice are at the heart of any package we pass.” A new analysis published Tuesday by the Rhodium Group suggests that the nation can achieve that level of emissions reductions without the new power plant proposal - but it will require sweeping executive action by not only the Biden administration but state governments as well. Congress would still have to enact the other clean energy provisions in the budget bill, the economic research firm said, including the extension of tax breaks for renewable generation, tax credits for electric vehicles and grants for clean energy. “The U.S. can meet its climate targets without the CEPP,” said Ben King, a senior analyst at the firm. “But it’s pretty difficult.” Preparing for the possible defeat of the clean electricity program, the White House is also emphasizing there is more than one way to meet Biden’s climate goal. “The good news is there are a range of good ideas and proposals out there from members of Congress,”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Monday. Already during Biden’s first nine months in office, she noted, the Environmental Protection Agency has moved to tighten tailpipe emissions from new cars and curb the use of super-polluting chemicals in refrigerators and air conditioners. Biden, she said, “has not waited for legislation.” And the EPA is days away from issuing a major new rule to plug the leaking of methane, a greenhouse gas more powerful than carbon dioxide, from new and existing oil and gas operations. “We need to lean in and set a very aggressive standard so that the industry understands what the rules of engagement are and what the expectations are,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in an interview with The Post this month. “Methane is such a potent pollutant, it’s important that we understand what the contribution is from this industry.” But some of the biggest potential reductions in U.S. emissions lie in the nation’s power sector. Environmental advocates hope the administration will use the Clean Air Act to cut carbon emissions from power plants, even without the help of Congress. The EPA is poised to soon bolster that existing authority by restoring the legal foundation for curbing coal plants’ mercury emissions, which was undone under the Trump administra-

tion. Limiting mercury, a dangerous neurotoxin, can also cut down on climate pollution released alongside it. “EPA legally does have many tools” to cut power-plant emissions, said Natural Resources Defense Council senior attorney Emily Davis. She added that the mercury rule, “once we see it, could be one of those tools.” But it’s a tricky task, given that the Supreme Court once blocked an Obama-era plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions under a Clean Air Act rule. Even without sweeping regulation, hundreds of U.S. coal plants have shut down over the past decade, due to stiff competition from cheaper natural gas, wind and solar generation. More recently, the United States has slipped. With tighter gas supplies during the coronavirus pandemic, the use of coal for electricity in the United States is actually expected this year to increase for the first time since 2014, according to a report this week from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The most significant remaining climate policy in the reconciliation package is a suite of tax credits to build solar and wind projects and consumers to buy electric vehicles. “The Finance Committee proposal, which got full support on our side, was always the linchpin of the carbon agenda,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who is shepherding the tax package as chair of the Senate

Finance Committee. Yet if the climate provisions get watered down even further, some liberal senators warn they may pull their support. With a razor-thin majorities in both the House and Senate, Democrats can’t afford to lose many votes in their caucus. “I can’t support a reconciliation bill that doesn’t have a strong climate title, and I think there are a lot of folks who share that belief in the Senate,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said, without specifying his bottom line. “I know the administration has been talking more about the potential for executive action to be significantly impactful,” he added. “My current belief is without legislative changes we’re not going to come anywhere close to our Paris agreement [commitment]. But I’m eager to see something from the administration that suggests otherwise.” Some Democrats have floated the idea of replacing the clean electricity program with a tax on carbon dioxide pollution. But while popular among economists, some Democrats view it as politically explosive. “I’m not a big fan of the carbon tax,” Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., told reporters Tuesday. “I just don’t think it works in the way it was explained to me.” Many Democrats and environmental advocates remain intent on forging a deal, given that this may represent the best shot in a generation to pass meaningful climate legislation.

Despite promises to lift some Trump sanctions, Biden leaves Cuba in deep freeze Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON — One of Cuba’s most senior diplomats switches from Spanish to English when he describes the pace at which many Cubans expected a new President Joe Biden to ease restrictions on the island nation. “Swiftly,” Carlos Fernández de Cossío said. Biden had campaigned with the vow of a fast rollback of many of the toughest policies imposed on Cuba by President Donald Trump. But nearly nine months into the Biden administration, little has changed. To punish Cuba and win political points in Florida, Trump took steps to reverse the diplomatic thaw started by President Barack Obama. Trump suspended remittances, the money Cuban Americans and others send to relatives and friends on the island; made drastic cuts in travel by U.S. citizens to Cuba; blocked some oil shipments to the country; and, on one of the last days of his administration, placed Cuba on the very short list of countries that sponsor terrorism. Far from lifting the sanctions, however, the Biden administration tightened them in July after Cuban authorities’ violent crackdown on rare anti-government demonstrations and the arrest of hundreds. Despite promises early in Biden’s presidency that limits on remittances – long a key source of income for many Cubans – would be eased, the State Department now says only that it has studied the issue and has

sent recommendations to the White House. A senior State Department official in an interview declined to detail the recommendations but said the goal was to get remittances to ordinary people and not into the hands of the Cuban government or military. At the National Security Council, the official in charge of Latin America, Juan Gonzalez, declined through a spokeswoman to speak to The Times. People familiar with the State Department review said the recommendations include solid ideas, such as the use of electronic wallets, that would satisfy the stated goals. But some observers suspect the administration remains internally at odds over what to do about remittances and broader Cuba policy. “There is no excuse for the Biden administration not to have done something on remittances,” said Ted Henken, a professor of Latin American studies at Baruch College who has written extensively on U.S. policy regarding Cuba. “They are more afraid of acting and making a mistake than acting.” By easing sanctions, Biden could face political fallout among conservative Cuban Americans who make up a large voting bloc in the battleground state of Florida, as well as from lawmakers like Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Cubans, from government officials to ordinary

U.S. officials argue that part of the remittance money is skimmed off by the Cuban government, a concern Havana says is overblown. Fernández de Cossío, who heads the section of the Cuban Foreign Ministry dedicated to U.S. affairs, claimed that coverage of the protest crackdowns, which included images and video of demonstrators being beaten, was exaggerated. He argued that the Biden administration is paralyzed by fear of domestic political reprisals. “They can’t do anything and remain popular with those in Miami,” he said in an interview on the margins of last month’s United Nations General Assembly meeting. “This administration has not been able to find its voice for what it wants to do with Cuba.” Southern and central Florida are home to thousands of people who fled communist or leftist governments in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua

Renewed focus on North Korean military after sub-launched missile test Tribune Content Agency SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea’s latest military provocation is said to be a submarinelaunched ballistic missile, South Korea’s general staff said on Tuesday. The South Korean military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said one missile was fired from near Sinpo on North Korea’s eastern coast into the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan. The JCS said the launch was detected at 10:17 am (0117 GMT), South Korean news agency Yonhap reported. No casualties or damage were reported and the missiles appeared to have already splashed down, a government spokesman cited by Japan’s Kyodo news agency said. Citing informed sources, Yonhap also reported that the missile traveled a distance of up to 450 kilometers at a maximum altitude of 60 kilometers. Experts believe the leadership in Pyongyang is putting more focus on militarizing the country after a recent resurgence in weapons testing. The missile launch was recorded by both South Korea and Japan on Tuesday morning, with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida speaking of two ballistic missiles. The timing of the weapons test is probably no coincidence: It was only on Monday that envoys from the South Korean and US governments met in Washington to discuss North Korea’s nuclear program.

and elsewhere. In the 2020 presidential campaign, Trump capitalized on their dread of the left by falsely portraying Biden and other Democrats as socialists. Trump won the state. Biden’s lack of action on Cuba, which sits just 90 miles south of the U.S., has served as another example for a small but growing group of foreign policy experts who argue that many of the president’s policies are not so different from Trump’s. Some Cuban Americans say the slow pace on remittances is doing less harm to the communist government or military than to average Cubans on the island. Those trying to get money to relatives and friends in Cuba must jump through hoops and work through third parties, and even then are often unsuccessful. “There is no direct way to do it, and the process is intricate, expensive and cumbersome,” said María Isabel Alfonso, a Cuban American who teaches Cuban culture at St. Joseph’s College in

New York. She works with a group that advocates engagement with Cuba but does not support the government. Citizens facing acute shortages of food, medicine and fuel are suffering the most, she said. But Javier Larrondo – who, as president of Prisoners Defenders, has advocated for scores of political prisoners detained in Cuba – said Biden was wise to take his time addressing the problem, because circumventing Cuban government efforts to take a cut of incoming monies is difficult. “He needs to find a balance, how not to directly harm the people while diminishing the power of the dictatorship,” Larrondo said. State Department officials in July put together a task force with representatives from the Treasury Department and other agencies, who consulted with outside experts for recommendations on remittances. The goal is “to support the Cuban people while holding the regime to accountability,” the State official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, in keeping with government protocol. One area in which the administration appears likely to move more quickly is repopulating the U.S. Embassy in Havana. Obama reopened the embassy in 2015, a major step in ending half a century of Cold War tensions. But the staff shrank in part because of Trump’s decision to freeze relations. Then, U.S. personnel were withdrawn after diplomats

and others reported unexplained medical problems; the mysterious affliction, which has harmed U.S. diplomats around the world, is now known as Havana syndrome. In the coming weeks, the U.S. will send more diplomats to Havana and will allow them to bring spouses, a reversal of Trump-era rules. Without a full embassy staff, Cuban citizens cannot obtain U.S. visas without traveling to a third country. The administration is also insisting on uncensored access to the internet for Cuban citizens, who report frequent cuts in service that many think is aimed at silencing dissidents. The Cuban government blames a weak system and electrical outages. For some 60 years, since the Cuban Revolution carried Fidel Castro to power, successive U.S. administrations have, in varying degrees, sought changes in Havana, almost always unsuccessfully. U.S. sanctions complicate efforts by other countries to trade and deal with Cuba, because those governments risk falling afoul of Washington. Fernández de Cossío said Cubans are especially aggrieved at being placed on the list of state sponsors of terrorism, along with North Korea, Iran and Syria. Putting Cuba in that club, he said, is unfair and not supported by facts. Biden and others criticized the move, which Trump made eight days before he left office. But the new administration has yet to take action to reverse it.

A man watches a television report showing a news broadcast with file footage of a North Korean missile test, at a railway station in Seoul, on Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2021, after the South’s military said a North Korean weapons test was believed to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile. In addition, according to Yonhap, the intelligence chiefs of the United States, South Korea and Japan are to hold talks in the South Korean capital Seoul on Tuesday, with Pyongyang’s nuclear threat also on the agenda. North Korea, which is subject to international sanctions because of its nuclear weapons program, has repeatedly tested missiles in recent months. Most recently, a new anti-aircraft missile was tested in early October, and in September a hypersonic missile that is to intercept difficult because of its great speed. “North Korea’s renewed testing of ballistic missiles suggests the worst of domestic hardship between summer 2020-2021 could be over,” Chad O’Carroll, founder of the Seoul-based trade publication NK News, wrote on Twitter. “Pyongyang tends to focus on one big strategic issue at a time, so the renewed testing could suggest military – later foreign policy – now priority,” he wrote.

The launch came after North Korea and South Korea earlier this month restored their direct communications lines. The telephone and fax lines are central to communication between the two countries, who technically have never ceased hostilities from the Korean War and who do not have embassies in each other’s capital cities, Pyongyang and Seoul. Seoul earlier this month expressed hope for the resumption of interKorean dialogue, while North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the lines were being restored as part of efforts to improve relations and build peace on the Korean Peninsula. UN resolutions prohibit North Korea from testing ballistic missiles, which, depending on their design, can also carry a nuclear warhead. Negotiations between North Korea and the United States have not made any progress since Kim’s failed summit with then-US president Donald Trump in Vietnam in February 2019.

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

t’s difficult to understand why any rational person would want to be mayor of Los Angeles, California’s largest and in many ways most troubled city. As the city’s economic and social woes mount – especially a horrendous homelessness crisis – the mayor for the past eight years, Eric Garcetti, is trying to get away by becoming ambassador to India. Meanwhile, Los Angeles’ overabundance of ambitious professional politicians is generating a field of would-be successors for the 2022 election. The early contenders include City Councilmen Joe Buscaino Dan Walters and Kevin de León and City Attorney Mike Feuer. However, when Rep. Karen Bass, who surfaced last year as one of Joe Biden’s potential running mates, announced her candidacy, she immediately became the putative frontrunner. How bad are conditions in the city they hope to manage? As he endorsed Bass last week, Garcetti’s predecessor as mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, said, “I have lived here my entire life. I have never seen this city so dirty, so rudderless. Homeless everywhere, crime going up, and there just seems to a be a lack of urgency, a lack of any kind of all-hands-on-deck approach to these crises.” That appraisal is on the mark, as far as it goes. Villaraigosa could have added that the Los Angeles metropolitan area has the highest unemployment rate of any major region and is the most poverty-ridden locale in California, which itself has the nation’s highest poverty rate. The city’s massive school district is another civic embarrassment. Although it is independent of city government, Villaraigosa attempted to reform the system’s huge financial and educational shortcomings, but managed only to alienate the powerful teachers’ union. Los Angeles’ woes are compounded by a snakepit political culture. The city council’s 15 members – half of them, like de León, former state legislators – squabble incessantly as they plot career moves or engage in what might be called side hustles. Just last week, one of them, Mark Ridley-Thomas, was indicted on federal charges of taking bribes from a University of Southern California dean in exchange for getting millions of dollars in public funds during Ridley-Thomas’ previous stint on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The scheme, prosecutors said, was aimed at securing a full-tuition scholarship and paid professorship for Ridley-Thomas’ son, Sebastian, himself a former state legislator. However, the charges against Ridley-Thomas are just the latest scandal to hit the city council. Former Councilman Jose Huizar is awaiting trial on racketeering, bribery, money laundering and other charges. Former Councilman Mitchell Englander is serving a 14-month prison sentence for lying to federal authorities about cash and other gifts he received in casinos in Las Vegas and near Palm Springs. Again, why would any rational person aspire to become the mayor of this hot mess? Bass, the most likely next Los Angeles mayor, says she can succeed where others have failed, particularly on the city’s most visible crisis, the countless thousands of homeless people living on the streets and in the parks. Bass wants to expand the experimental statefederal programs called Project Homekey, which buys up hotels and motels to house the homeless, and Project Roomkey, which provides temporary housing. “Homelessness has been decades in the making. It didn’t just fall from the sky,” Bass said. “But we can’t wait decades to solve it. It’s up to us to solve it right now. If you elect me as mayor, the status quo on homelessness will not stand.” However, even if Bass can put roofs over the heads of the homeless – which is unlikely – it doesn’t solve the underlying socioeconomic maladies that permeate the nation’s second largest city.

I left my business card with the police officer, and went on my way. The sound of spinning tires reminded me, not long after, that a splash of rain had hit overnight, and with all blessings, more of the wet stuff will come soon and often. It also means it is a good time for commuters, and other drivers alike, to check their tires, their brakes, their windshield wipers and their speedometers. Not everyone is going to run into a police vehicle, but those who don’t slow down when the roads are wet are quite likely to be visited by one.

Dodgers From Page B3 season Bellinger wondered whether he would ever get a hit again. His most recent one bailed out Walker Buehler, who is usually the one to bail out the Dodgers in October times of need. And while Tuesday was not technically an elimination game for the Dodgers, it did represent their last chance to give themselves margin for error. Overcoming a 3-0 deficit requires perfection. Overcoming a 2-1 deficit is less daunting. Buehler and the Dodgers led until the fourth. Corey Seager hit a two-run shot in the first to give the Dodgers a quick lead, but it should have been bigger.

starter Charlie Morton walked four men in that inning. The Dodgers couldn’t come up with the big hit they needed. By that time, Los Angeles was 2-for-19 with runners in scoring position and had left 20 runners on base in 19 innings. In the second, that number grew to 21 in 20. What the Dodgers couldn’t do in that first inning, Atlanta did to Buehler in the fourth. They took advantage of every Dodgers miscue, a dropped flyball at the wall by Gavin Lux, a ball that bounced off Seager’s glove. Former Dodger Joc Pederson drove in a run. Adam Duvall tied the score. Seager couldn’t handle Dansby Swanson’s hard groundball to deep short, giving Atlanta the lead. Then Buehler walked

Eddie Rosario on four pitches to give the Braves another run, and Roberts came out to get him. Buehler, the steadying influence in so many Dodgers series – the stopper – had imploded. His team seemed to be doing the same. By the fifth inning, Atlanta had double the number of hits with runners in scoring position Tuesday (four) as the Dodgers did all series. Trea Turner and Justin Turner had all but disappeared offensively. Betts’s best efforts – two walks and a single before that key eighth-inning double – did not appear to be enough to will the Dodgers’ offense to life. For all their history of rejuvenation, these Dodgers looked like a group that was falling flat, one that couldn’t revive itself when it mattered most.

“It’s impossible not to be aware of it,” Betts said of the Dodgers possible looking at a 3-0 series deficit. “. . . All it takes is a hit or two and you get some energy and you forget.” Brown has been telling these Dodgers to single teams to death all postseason, but it hasn’t always materialized. He pointed to Smith’s and Pollock’s singles in that eighth inning as the foundation of the comeback. But, of course, those singles wouldn’t have been much consolation without Bellinger’s big swing - the big swing that was actually a short swing, which is precisely why it worked. “When Belli comes through there in the eighth, it’s kind of a sigh of relief, like we finally did it,” Betts said. “Now it becomes contagious.”

throughout the match. I’m very proud of this group of players. They stay focused and worked hard throughout a match. I’m looking forward to taking them to the playoffs and seeing how we match up.” Spencer Sumerlyn also had a big night for the Vikings, going 14-for-17 from the service line, 14-for-21 in serve receive, tacking on two kills and seven digs. Layren Whyte was the kill leader with seven, while Soleil Sands and Jada Cuffie had six apiece and Anaya Thrower added five. Vanden improved

Briscoe played strong all-around defense with blocking , serving, digs, and 18 assists. Leading with six kills each were Coryn Hundley and Briana Davisson for the Mustangs. Davisson added 4 aces. Jhezerel Prado added six digs and Khaycee Jamias-Cardenas recorded five. Rodriguez won the junior varsity match 25-3, 25-19, 15-9. Akiah Watson was 7-for-8 serving with

From Page B1 in the 2018 NBA draft, passing on the likes of Luka Doncic and Trae Young because the organization, under former general manager Vlade Divac, believed so strongly in Bagley’s talent. Bagley was an NBA All-Rookie First Team selection after averaging 14.9 points and 7.6 rebounds in 201819. He appeared in 62 games as a rookie, but he was limited to 13 games in 2019-20 and 43 games in 2020-21 due to a variety of injuries. Making matters worse, Bagley’s father has routinely trolled the team on social media, even issuing a public trade request on Twitter. Bagley is headed for free agency this summer after the team let Monday’s deadline pass without signing him to a rookie-scale contract extension. The Kings had until 3 p.m. to sign Bagley to an extension, but that deadline passed with no new deal in place, adding to the uncertainty over Bagley’s future in Sacramento. Under rules of the collective bargaining agreement, Bagley will be eligible for a qualifying offer of either $14.8 million or $7.2 million, depending on whether he meets “starter criteria.” To meet the criteria, a player must start at least 41 games or play at least 2,000 minutes in the previous season, or as an average of the previous two seasons. Bagley started 42 games last season. He would have to start a minimum of 40 games to hit the two-year average of 41 or log 2,000 minutes

this season to reach the criteria for the full qualifying offer. That seems highly unlikely if Bagley isn’t even in Walton’s rotation. The qualifying offer for a top-14 pick who does not meet “starter criteria” cannot exceed the qualifying offer for the 15th pick in the same draft class, according to Larry Coon’s NBA Salary Cap FAQ. Troy Brown Jr., the No. 15 pick in 2018, will have a qualifying offer of $7.2 million, according to various estimates. Bagley’s qualifying offer could drop by more than $7 million if he doesn’t reach the criteria, representing what could be a huge hit to his career earnings. This stalemate sets up a number of possible scenarios for the Kings. They could trade Bagley this season, re-sign him this summer as a restricted or unrestricted free agent, or simply let him walk away, ending a rocky relationship that began when the Kings chose Bagley in the 2018 draft. If the Kings extend a qualifying offer this summer, Bagley would become a restricted free agent and Sacramento would have the right to match any offers he receives. If they don’t extend a qualifying offer, Bagley would become an unrestricted free agent. Walton on Monday told The Sacramento Bee contract talks are between players and the front office, but he said he had every expectation Bagley would remain focused and committed to his team as he plays out the final year of his rookie deal in Sacramento.
