House holds Bannon in contempt for defying order Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday voted 229-202 to hold former White House adviser Stephen Bannon in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The vote was largely along party lines, but nine Republicans did vote in favor of the resolution, H.Res. 730. They are: Reps. Peter Meijer and Fred Upton, both of Michigan, John Katko of New York, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington, as well as Jan. 6 select committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney of Wyoming and her colleague on the panel, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois. Indiana GOP Rep. Greg Pence, whose brother, former Vice President Mike Pence faced death threats on Jan. 6, and was with him that day as the Capitol was breached, did not vote. Only two Republicans – Cheney and Kinzinger – voted in favor of the creation of the Jan. 6 select committee in June. That resolution passed 222-190. See Bannon, Page A8

Democrats nudge AG on Congress decision Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee used an oversight hearing Thursday to nudge Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on a pivotal upcoming decision – whether the Justice Department will pursue prosecution of former White House adviser Stephen Bannon for contempt of Congress. When the hearing started, the House hadn’t officially voted to hold Bannon in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House select panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The chamber later voted 229-202 to adopt the contempt resolution. The next step would be for the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia, part of the Justice Department, to decide whether to prosecute the misdemeanor See Democrats, Page A8

VACAVILLE — Lt. Gen. John F. Gonge built an illustrious career first as a military pilot and commander through three wars and later as a businessman helping to build what is today Travis Credit Union. Friends and colleagues will honor the man Friday in recognition of his upcoming 100th birthday. The celebration will occur from 6 to 8 p.m. at Travis Credit Union, One Travis Way, in appropriately, the Lt. Gen. John F. Gonge Community Room. It is a black tie affair for a man who is fitting of such a tribute. His career not only spanned the globe but also had an important local role in serving the Travis Air Force Base and Travis Credit Union

Sgt. John G.

Gonge was born Nov. 5, 1921, in Ansley, Nebraska. By 1938 he was graduating high school and joining the U.S. Army Air Corps as an aviation cadet. Gonge began his career by ferrying aircraft all over the world. He had to be a quick study as Courtesy Photo he took B-24s, B-17s, B-26s and Lt. Gen John F. Gonge, in flight school.

Moderna, J&J gain backing from CDC Commission OKs winery, distillery project advisory panel Tribune Content Agency U.S. public health advisers voted unanimously to recommended Covid-19 booster shots from Moderna Inc. and Johnson & Johnson, clearing the way for a widespread campaign hoped to stave off a resurgence of the virus. In two votes, the 15-member Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory committee Thursday supported the additional shots in certain populations, following the outlines of U.S. regulators who cleared the shots Wednesday. Boosters are becoming more widely available at a crucial time when the U.S. is still fighting the summer surge of infections driven by the highly contagious delta variant of Covid. Health officials are keen to

protect those most vulnerable to the disease as the winter months approach, bringing the added threat of a potentially harsh flu season. While the unvaccinated account for the vast majority of the most seriously ill in the current outbreak, breakthrough infections among the vaccinated have fueled concerns that the shots’ efficacy wanes over time. Moderna and J&J both presented evidence at Thursday’s meeting that their boosters restore infection-fighting power. The recommendation from CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices echoes the clearance granted to the boosters by the Food and Drug Administration.

The inverted drop on the roller coaster was fabulous. Being shot out of a shed at 160 mph – surprised I still have skin left. However, the bad part was when I was about to get on a ride I’d been on at least 10 times here at Discovery Kingdom and was asked, “How old are you?” I proudly announced “I’m 67 years old!” Then came the bomb: “Sorry, no ride for you. You are too old!” The age limit was 60. I went to a bench, cried a little and then did the math in preparation for having to lie when asked again and say I was only 59! The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park really hit me. Until I went there I hadn’t understood that the bomb didn’t land, but was detonated at an elevation above ground.

Many Americans really want to travel into space in future Tribune Content Agency Is space tourism ready for lift-off? Research shows there is definite interest in traveling to space, but prohibitive price points make space experiences too far out of this world for most. The space race between VirginGalactic, SpaceX and Blue Origins has definitely boosted interest, new research from ValuePenguin found. A recent survey of more than 2,000 Americans conducted by ValuePigeon showed that almost half want to travel to space. However, just 19% are willing to fork over the Benjamins for the hefty $100,000-plus price tag. The research also showed that men are more likely than women to want to travel to space, and older people are less likely to want to leave Earth’s orbit than their younger counterparts. Fiftysix percent of men versus 44% of women would like to travel to space, and 63% of Gen-Z’ers would want to visit space versus 38% of baby boomers. The price tag makes space travel nearly unobtainable for most people.

Of those consumers who want to travel to space, just 19% would shell out $100,000 or more to make it happen. That wouldn’t even buy one seat on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, however. Prices are estimated to start at $250,000 per person. Probably not recommended by a financial adviser, but the research showed that 28% of both men and GenZers would choose a free trip to space over being debt free. Among all consumers, 23% opted for a trip to space rather than the ability to wipe out their debt. Hopefully, consumer pressure will lead to lower prices. Sixty percent of Americans agree that space travel should be accessible for everyone, not just those who can afford the exorbitant costs. Some think that traveling to space is unethical and that billionaires shouldn’t be spending money on it. According to ValuePenguin, even some scientists believe that it could further harm the earth’s atmosphere, harming the environment through a high rate of emissions-per-passenger.

The news was heralded in the Daily Republic. I wanted to learn her language and in her limited spare time at night she created a handmade Japanese phrasebook for me. Using pages from the notebooks she brought for homework, she handwrote about five pages of phrases in Japanese and English, then bound them together with glue and decorated the outside with origami paper she brought from Japan. I was absolutely blown away when she presented it to me! Her phrasebook was quickly included in my Japanese studies and I was thrilled when, during the next year’s summer student exchange, I was able to stay with her and her family in Nirasaki for three weeks. Even now, I am in communication with her family and I’ll never forget their kindness (I also still have her phrasebook!). These precious person-to-person connections are made possible by sister city programs – one of many reasons such relationships are so important.

entire country had been put on notice to take care of and teach the travelers from Northern California. Our whole tour was a project-based learning experience of a lifetime. Math? Yen conversions. Language? Every day all day. Why did we hear more foreign languages in Hiroshima than Japanese? Because we were living a social science class with the world called “Never Again.” We hope. At the 21-day mark our class was “dismissed.” Leaving our host families was the most difficult part. Home certainly is where the heart is and part of our hearts are now solidly in Nirasaki. Arletta Cortright: I had been told that we would need lots of gifts to exchange with the people we would meet in Japan, as gift-giving is an important part of the culture. In addition to our two suitcases for the three-week stay, I had one suitcase full of gifts: See’s candy, city of Fairfield swag, Jelly Bellys, etc. When we arrived at Nirasaki, our host families were all there to take the members of the group home with them.

We suffered our first embarrassment of the trip when we saw the Akiyamas’ car – a VW bug. They couldn’t fit even one of our suitcases in it. Kenji had to ask a city employee to bring our luggage to their home in his truck. Mostly, though, it was the best experience we could imagine. I was a ceramics student in high school and college, and always admired Japanese ceramics. The Akiyamas took us to a ceramics museum in the mountains where we saw exquisite items that were hundreds of years old. We were taken to the pottery workshop of a friend of theirs who gave us a tour then sat me down at a pottery wheel with a lump of clay to make my own bowls! I hadn’t been in front of a wheel in years, but it came back. About a month after we got home, we received a package containing the glazed and fired end results of my efforts at the wheel. Every day of our trip provided another example of the kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness of the people we met. We have stayed with the Akiyamas many times since then and they have been our guests in Fairfield, too. “Life-changing” might be a hackneyed expression, but it was absolutely true for us with our visit to our sister city.

Crowd at vaccination forum raises concerns about mandates

Covid case rates continue drop; county expects holiday surge

Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE – Organizers of the Avoid the Noise forum on mandated Covid-19 vaccinations in schools billed the event as nonpolitical and asked for people to come with an open mind. They got a crowd of more than 120 people, plus those who watched virtually, who were clearly concerned if not outright against the proposed state mandate to vaccinate students. Several admitted to being angry when the idea was prompted by one of the presenters. While there are a lot of unknowns still to be worked out, the earliest the mandate would likely be implemented – for seventh through 12th grades – is July 1, and later for the lower grades. “I’m not afraid of the vaccines, but this feels very disconcerting to me because I feel my rights are being taken away,” Anna Eaton, who moderated the event along with Tracee Stacy. Eaton accentuated the point by telling the group that she and her family had escaped from a communist country, though she did not identify which country. But she also emphasized the forum was not organized to change anyone’s mind, only to provide information and the opportunity to ask questions, which were submitted by texting them. The forum was held Wednesday at Journey Downtown on Main Street. Those attending were told by the two physicians on the dias that the Covid vaccines are largely safe for their children, at least those who are 12 or older for which data is available. “What we know, particularly with vaccines as it (applies) to the (12 to 17) age group, we have had a very good response,” said Dr. Jeffrey L. Gaborko, a Vacaville pediatrician. He said there is less information about the vaccines for the 5 to 11 age group, largely because they have not been exposed to the vaccines. “But the thing we do know is teenagers have tolerated the vaccine very well,” Gaborko said. There is never no risk, he added, but it is minimal. However, the real issue that became apparent at the forum was not about the safety of the vaccine, but rather parental choice, and whether the state should mandate vaccines. None of the speakers at the forum supported the vaccine mandate, and late into the forum, raised the potential for a very serious problem for schools if there was a mass exodus of students. Teacher availability is also an unknown that could cripple the districts. The panelists were Gaborko, Dr. Bela Matyas,

Speakers, from left to right, Dr. Bela Matyas, Solano County Public Health Officer, Dr. Jeffrey Gaborko and Solano Supervisor Mitch Mashburn participate in an event called Above the Noise at Journey Theater, Wednesday. Not pictured but also speaking at the event were Jared Austin, executive director for Kairos Public Schools, Matt Beaudraeu, president of Acton Academy and Ed Santopadre, Vacaville School District’s associate superintendent of educational services. the Solano County public health officer, county Supervisor Mitch Mashburn, Ed Santopadre, associate superintendent of Educational Services for Vacaville School District, Jared Austin, executive director of the Kairos Public Charter School, and Matt Beaudreau, president of Action Academy. Matyas defined the issue from the outset. “Our job is to make vaccines available; it’s your job to decide whether to get vaccinated,” Matyas told the gathering. But he said those decisions are being made less on the medical data that is available as they are according to individuals’ tolerance for the risk of what happens if not vaccinated. And that risk, he added, is greater for older residents than school-aged children, who even when infected, tended to have less troubling outcomes. Matyas reported there have been no one in Solano County 18 or younger who has died of the disease, while 63 children have been hospitalized. “So I can tell you 63 children (have been) hospitalized and you say that’s nothing,” Matyas said. “Or you can say, this (disease) is new and I don’t want to see any children hospitalized.” Matyas said if the harm from the disease outweighed the benefits of the vaccine, he would have no problem mandating vaccines. “It’s a hard question to answer because we don’t make that decision based on data,” Matyas said. Gaborko said he is not against mandates, and noted that a lot of lives have been saved because the state requires anyone in a vehicle to wear a seatbelt. “It was unlikely to see that change if it wasn’t mandated,” Gaborko said. He also made it clear he supports many medical mandates, but tempered that by saying he is proud to be the pediatrician for families who are willing to be vaccinated against

Covid-19, and to those families who choose not to be vaccinated. His position is based largely on the fact the virus has been very “gentle” with children. Santopadre said one of the things he loves about the Vacaville community is the host of educational choices that are available, from public schools, to public charters, to private schools to independent study and home-schooling options. He said the pandemic has thrown a wrinkle into the mix, and mandated vaccinations would put parents into the position of making a decision on the best educational choice for their children based on something other than educational priorities. Austin, whose school opened in October 2020 under guidelines provided by the county Public Health Division, has not had any Covid outbreaks on campus. He said his governing board opposes the mandates, and the school’s success operational through the worst of the pandemic, shows they are not needed. Beaudreau emphasized there are many independent school options open to parents and none will prevent their children from going on to college or being successful in life. He put a lot of that responsibility on the shoulders of the parents themselves. But he also noted that as he understands the state mandates, they apply to any school – public, private or otherwise – that is registered as a school with the state. He said is organization does not file as schools with the state. Mashburn was asked if he knew of any movement to create sanctuary counties or sanctuary cities to stand against the state mandate. The supervisor said he is not aware of any such movement, but cau-

tioned that even if a city or a county were to take that position, they have no authority over the schools. Moreover, he said the state carries the big hammer, which is to hold back funding if the schools do not adhere to the regulation – or if the Legislature acts on the mandate – the law. Mashburn was joined by others to encourage parents to be advocates for their children, no matter their position, and to contact their state representatives. It was announced that Assemblyman Jim Frazier, D-Fairfield, has scheduled on Oct. 29 to meet with area school district superintendents to discuss the issue.

FAIRFIELD — Covid-19 case rates in Solano County continue to drop and hospitalizations have stabilized in the past week after sharp declines in the prior several weeks. The Public Health Division reported 70 new coronavirus cases Wednesday Monday’s since update – 61 of those actually over that two-day period – for an adjusted total of 45,309. That includes 19 cases being removed as duplicates. The 10-day daily case average was 19.8%, down from 28.4% reported Monday, the county said. “My impression is things are going quite

well,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview. However, he does expect the county will experience another spike in cases with the holiday season. How bad the surge might be is largely due to vaccination levels and unvaccinated residents using other safety protocols. Matyas also reported he has had no reports of flu cases so far this year, but would not expect to see those reports out of hospitals and long-term care facilities this early in the fall. The county is looking for the flu virus in its Covid testing of individuals in long-term care facilities as well as See Cases, Page A4

STA nets $400,000 for work Bay Trail Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — A $400,000 grant was awarded to the Solano Transportation Authority for work on the Bay Area Trail Gap Closure Project in Vallejo. The funds will be used to help close the gap on the Vallejo section of the San Francisco Bay Trail, which includes connections to the Vallejo waterfront and the Napa Valley Vine Trail. “We are excited about this funding and want to

thank the San Francisco Bay Trail for partnering with the STA on this project,” Vacaville Mayor Ron Rowlett, chairman of the Solano Transportation Authority board, said in a statement. “This new connection will ensure a high quality, environmentally friendly, active transportation connection between lowincome neighborhoods and regional and local transit facilities, such as the San Francisco Bay Ferry, SolanoExpress and SolTrans, which provide reliable and equitable

transit services for older adults, students and essential workers.” The grant was awarded by the San Francisco Bay Trail Steering Committee and is provided through Proposition 68: the Parks, Environment and Water Bond Act of 2019. “In addition to the many benefits that The Bay Trail-Vine Trail Project brings to the residents of Vallejo, this project also creates an inviting recreational activity,” Vallejo Mayor Robert McConnell, the Solano Transportation

Authority board vice chairman, said in the statement. “Once completed, this project will provide great access to our waterfront.” The Bay Trail is a planned 500 mile, multiple-use trail administered by the Association of Bay Area Governments, with the goal of encircling the San Francisco Bay and linking the shorelines of 47 cities and nine counties.

FAIRFIELD — The Travis School District’s governing board this week approved the broad outline for how to spend more than $1.3 million in pandemic relief funds. Sue Brothers, assistant superintendent of Educational Services, gave a presentation Tuesday night on the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III

funding plan, and sought the board’s approval. School districts, county offices of education or charter schools, collectively known as Local Education Agencies, that receive these pandemic relief funds under the American Rescue Plan Act, are required to develop a plan for how they will use their funds. A Local Education Agency in its plan must explain how it intends to use its funds to address

Driver held on suspicion of murder FAIRFIELD — A 53-year-old man was killed around 7 p.m. Tuesday evening in a hit-andrun incident involving a vehicle and bicyclist. The man suspected of driving the vehicle was jailed several hours later. The Solano County Coroner’s Office was working Wednesday to notify the victim’s family and was not able to release his name. Fairfield police got the calls of an incident at North Texas and Wisconsin streets. The cyclist was dead when officers arrived on the scene. Witnesses played a key role in the investigation, Lt. Jausiah Jacobsen said. They described the vehicle and the direction it headed. Police tracked down the vehicle to a business it stopped at before the collision, he said. Investigators then reviewed surveillance video at the business and were able to identify

platform was authorized by the City Council in October 2020. The online permitting portal gives people the opportunity to learn how to deal with zoning, business and residential needs, along with planning for special events. The portal is available at vacaville. opencounter.com. “It’s a way to learn project information from the comfort of home or office,” Enault said. “It’s intended to add to

the existing amount of resources that are already available for customers.” The portal allows people to check available property zoning areas, calculate building permits, research zoning codes, study the overall process of pulling permits, and how to request a location for a special event. Enault pointed out that most permitting projects will require calls to the city when being finalized and the filling out of

paperwork there. He said the portal is just a way to enhance the education and preparedness of people before heading into the process and estimate any potential costs. The portal will be especially helpful, Enault said, for people like homeowners making improvements, contracprofessional tors and architects, real estate agents and event organizers.

SUISUN CITY — Residents strongly urged the City Council on Tuesday night to reconsider eliminating two Fairfield and Suisun Transit routes and a local reduced taxi program with the start of 2022. Many were impassioned pleas noting that impact would fall on the disabled, senior citizens and students. “It’s a very bad mistake,” said Gloria Burton. “Fairfield and Suisun should work something out. This has to be reconsidered.” “We need to do a better job of promoting the system that’s coming,”

Councilman Mike Hudson said, adding the proposed system is an improvement. The details for transporting student is still being worked out. Fairfield and Suisun Transit, known locally as FaST, is operated by the city of Fairfield. Suisun City has partnered with Fairfield since 1990 to provide local transit services linking Fairfield and Suisun City. Suisun City has historically utilized its annual allocation of the Transportation Development Act dollars to fund FaST services. The City Council voted Aug. 17 to reallocate the use of its annual Transportation Development Act funding and discontinue funding of the

The City Council proposes to partner with the Solano Transportation Authority to participate in the First/Last Mile Lyft Program that will be available to residents traveling within Suisun City. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission notified FaST that Suisun City’s fiscal year 2019-20 Transportation Development Act total was reduced by $72,885 due to insufficient sales tax generation. This resulted in FaST initially covering these expenses on Suisun City’s behalf. Since Suisun City does not have a surplus from prior year Transportation Development Act alloca-

tions, this $72,885 needs to be repaid to Fairfield from Suisun City’s 2021-22 fiscal year allocation. “The service is not going away because we owe Fairfield money,” Mayor Lori Wilson said.

The bulk of the commission did agree. Community Development Director Erin Morris said a good way to begin would be by discussing a housing element subcommittee. She did emphasis that decisions are finalized by the City Council, but such a committee would help the commission gain more insight on housing issues moving forward. It was concluded that Morris would bring to the commissioners next meeting a potential plan for a housing element subcommittee to study

Travis school board OKs goal change Travis School District trustees accepted the reworded Tuesday of the district’s No. 1 goal. The previous language reads, “Focus on instructional excellence to increase achievement for every student using support systems to improve student learning and to close achievement gaps in order to prepare students for college and career.” The reworked language is, “Focus on instructional and institutional excellence to promote equity for all, close the achievement gap, and improve student learning in prep-

aration for opportunities beyond high school including college and career.” The board had previously approved language for goals two through four, which state: n Ensure a safe and productive environment using support systems to maintain calm classrooms focused on learning and to enhance student social and emotional wellness. n Enhance constructive communication within and outside of the school community with a special focus on involving parents as active partners in their child’s education. n Provide basic services and manage responsibly resources while maintaining the collaborative budget process. Enhance, create, and modernize facilities that support lifelong educational programs.

Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As you march ever-forward, you’ll see the scenery shift. What’s less apparent is the ways you are transforming with it. There is no better or worse way to develop. Accept change as the only constant in life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The ego is a fanciful child who can make a person believe any number of false things. Vigilance against its narcissism is the habit of champions. You’re guided by thoughtfulness and restraint. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Theoretically, it would seem the simplest way to wisdom is to cling to solitude. The wise hermit on the hill is a trope to span the centuries, and yet, in reality, the more social you are, the sager you will become. CANCER (June 22-J uly 22). You will mentally project yourself all around a problem, eventually perching in a place that allows you to see much of it at once. You’ll help others by sharing your broad view. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you always say “yes,” then agreement is not really a decision; it’s a default. This is why people take “yes” for granted. Throw in a “no.” You grow more in touch with your

Daily Cryptoquotes

Dear Man-child: It sounds like your friends are experiencing a shift in priorities. Having a family doesn’t mean giving up what makes you happy, but it is about compromise and putting others’ needs above your own. Perhaps it’s time to reexamine your priorities, too. As a father of almost three, you should put being a good role model and taking care of yourself to better support your family at the top of the list. Commit to balancing boys time out with more boys time at home with your sons, and girls time with your wife and daughter when she arrives. Partying hard is not good for your health, anyway, and it doesn’t set a good example for your kids; they need their father around. Spend time and hang out with your old friends, of course, but give the toned-down activities they’re into these days a shot. You said it best: Things are changing. With the start of this new chapter, expect there will be more shifts, but treasure all there is to be excited about at home, not just on the edge. Your family will surely appreciate your presence and support. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

You would think that this would be a strength of the robots at Bridge Base Online, but watch how this deal panned out. In the auction, North’s two-club response as a passed hand was Drury, showing three or more spades and a maximum pass. The robot’s jump to game was optimistic. West led the diamond ace and shifted to a low club. East won with his king and returned a club to his partner’s ace. West shifted to a low heart, dummy’s eight winning the trick. Declarer, needing the rest, had to find the spade queen. Taking that suit in isolation, you should cash the king and finesse twice (if necessary) through East. However, the robot played low to his ace and ran the jack through West, going down one when East produced the queen. Mathematically that was inferior, but why was South wrong on this deal specifically? West had already shown 11 points. (East would have covered dummy’s heart eight at trick four if he could have.) With the spade queen, West would have opened the bidding. If something is niggling you about the defense, tune in tomorrow. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Carrie Fisher remembered by Mark Hamill Tribune Content Agency A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, actors Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill forever changed the way the world sees science fiction with their starring roles in the 1977 classic “Star Wars.” On Thursday – what would have been Fisher’s 65th birthday – Hamill remembered the woman who played Princess Leia Organa as a friend and co-star who was, at the very least, tolerant. “Happy Birthday to a very special someone who was never not fun & always highly tolerant of my juvenile on-set high jinks . . . even when she

wasn’t in the mood,” he wrote on Twitter. That memorial included a photo of Hamill playing with Fisher’s hair on set along with the caption “#CarrieOnForever.” Fisher died in December 2016 following a life of extraordinary highs and lows that included movie stardom, substance abuse, psychological struggles and a well-documented sense of humor. That year, she also released her memoir “The Princess Diarist” in which she revealed she had a fling with her and Hamill’s “Star Wars” co-star Harrison Ford. Fisher was 60 at the time of her death.

Booster: Backed From Page One na’s additional shot for people 65 and older along with other adults at high risk of severe Covid because of health conditions or work at least six months after their initial inoculation. The agency also cleared J&J boosters for people 18 and older who got the singleshot vaccine at least two months ago. Several committee members made it clear they were voting for the recommendation in the interests of making a clear message to the public that wouldn’t conflict with the earlier recommendation for the vaccine from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE. Many committee members also voiced support for mixing and matching of the three cleared boosters. Those who received J&J’s single dose vaccine must wait two months before taking any other booster, while those whose primary vaccination was an mRNA

vaccine should wait at least six months before getting any additional shot, including J&J’s. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky must sign off on the committee’s recommendations before doctors, drugstores and other sites can begin giving shots. The recommendation for the shot, Pfizer-BioNTech which was cleared by the FDA last month, is for older people and adults at high risk, including teachers, nurses and others who risk infection from contact with the public through their jobs. Last time the CDC’s advisers met to discuss boosters, they determined these front-line workers may be at greater risk of infection, but not for developing severe Covid. While the advisers didn’t recommend boosters for this group, Walensky overruled them, broadening out the booster ruling to include those at risk because of their jobs.

From Page One Force pilot who could fly anything,” Evalle said. The skills he learned there led him to fly more than 1,000 hours over “The Hump” during World War II between the campaigns in China, Burma and India, transporting supplies to American and Chinese forces. More than 500 aircraft and 1,500 personnel were lost over the 42-month operation. Gonge flew B-24s, tankers and cargo, through challenging weather and Japanese attacks. Gonge was assigned in 1953 to Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii as special projects officer in the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Pacific. He later became administrative assistant to the commander. His time at Travis came in July 1969 as vice command of the 60th Military Airlift Wing. Gonge would later serve as commander of the 22nd Military Airlift Command from August 1972 to August 1977. He also served in other roles in bases around the world. One of the proudest moments of Gonge’s career came in 1973 during Operation Homecoming. It was his aircraft that brought home 591 prisoners of war from Vietnam back to Travis. There is a famous story with the first C-141 en route to pick up the first group of prisoners. Gonge had “talking birds” over the Pacific Ocean to relay communi-

cation that all Air Force command was listening in on, along with the Pentagon and the president of the United States. As the plane neared Hanoi, communication was lost for a time with the airfield. Gonge told the pilot to go around again. As he did, the Vietnamese Tower came on and gave them permission to land and told them to take a different approach with just five minutes to spare. Gonge got on the microphone and told the pilot to put the “damn plane on the ground.” The White House controller would later comment, “If I ever saw command and control, I have seen it now.” “From joining the Army Air Corps, to becoming a gifted pilot, to participating in a significant event flying supplies in treacherous territory, that was the first real demonstration of air mobility, he is a real Air Force legend,” Evalle said. “He’s always been a straightshooter. He doesn’t care what the rank, he’ll tell you what he thinks.” Gonge is a recipient of the Order of the Sword, the 10th man to receive that honor from the noncommissioned officer corps. Among his many other citations is a Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal with oak cluster, Army Commendation Medal and Distinguished Unit Citation Emblem. Shortly after he retired in

Project: From Page One The 79.29-acre property is located at 4286 Suisun Valley Road, 1 mile southwest of Fairfield. The project received a great deal of praise and support, including several testimonials from residents of San Francisco, Marin and Sacramento who said they believed the project will lift Solano County’s status as a destination location. However, there were also concerns expressed by neighbors. Ron and Diane Zimmerman, who live on the property east of the site, said they were not opposed to the project, but thought the county needs to better address issues of traffic, noise and possibly flooding issues. “We are happy to see the use,” Ron Zimmerman said. “I’m just a little concerned about the number of events.” The plans call for up to 45 events each year with up to 400 people allowed. Zimmerman also wondered how all the non-agricultural buildings were ever allowed to be built on property

under a Williamson Act contract, and thought the county needs to look at what place event centers have under those provisions since by definition they are not agricultural uses but are getting the tax breaks. More than studying those issues as they pertain to this specific project, the Zimmermans believed the county needs to start considering the cumulative impact of having what will now be seven event centers on Suisun Valley Road, all with late-week events that basically start and end at the same time. The county staff indicated in its analysis of the project that it will not significantly add to any of those issues raised by the Zimmermans. The commission approved the project, without comment, on a 4-0 vote with Commissioner Loretta Gaddies absent. In other action, the commission: n Approved a minor use permit for a 3,200-square-foot outdoor pavilion with an associated kitchen, located at 4211 Green Valley Road.

John F. Gonge, photographed while ranked lieutenant general. 1977, at age 56, Gonge became the general manager at Travis Federal Credit Union, which is now Travis Credit Union. He was offered the job just days after his retirement and went on to serve as general manager and president until 1994. Retired Chief Master Sgt. Anthony Anderson served with him in the military and at the credit union. “He was always great to work with and really cared about his people,” Anderson said. “If he wanted something done right and it wasn’t done right, he’d tell you. He really was the true definition of a leader. He once told me, ‘Be like me, whatever decisions you make, always strive to take your boss’s job.”

Elmira brewpub project decision remains on hold Todd R. Hansen FAIRFIELD — The Solano County zoning administrator on Thursday delayed his decision on a minor use permit application for a brewpub and taproom project in Elmira until the Board of Supervisors considers the rezoning petition for the property. The board is expected to take up the issue Tuesday. The county Planning Commission in early September recommended the Board of Supervisors approve the rezoning petition for two parcels, totaling 0.48 acres, from Residential Traditional Community to Residential Traditional Community Mixed Use.

The Diversity Beer Company is looking to convert the existing on-site structures, including the singlefamily home, into the brewpub, taproom and offices. It is located at 6077 and 6081 California Pacific Road, the one-time home of The Cabin saloon. The county planning staff has recommended approving the use permit. Allan Calder, the planning manager who sits as the zoning administrator, will reconsider that application Nov. 18. In other action, Calder approved the application by Norcal Properties Management LLC to subdivide 22.97 acres into four lots, each at least 5 acres, at 7061 Steiger Hill Road.

Ron Smith said the project is for family use only, and his sister, Sharon Walker, noted large family gatherings are a tradition that have been lost with the loss of

their mother in 2012. Commission Kay Cayler said she was “envious” of the reunion plans. n Voted to extend allowing virtual meetings through November.

Bannon: House holds him in contempt From Page One Cheney, Kinzinger, Katko, Upton, Meijer, Gonzalez and Herrera Beutler make up seven of the 10 GOP members who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump following the insurrection. “Madam Speaker, voting on a criminal contempt resolution is not the position we hoped to be in, but Steve Bannon went out of his way to earn this resolution before us and

now we must approve it,” Kinzinger said on the House floor. Select committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., noted Tuesday that Bannon “stands alone in his complete defiance of our subpoena.” Others subpoenaed by the panel have been at a minimum engaging with the panel. The U.S. attorney’s office in the District of Columbia is now tasked with determining whether to convene a grand jury. Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor crime

that could result in a fine and up to a year in jail. Bannon is withholding information “critical” to the select committee's investigation, the panel said in its report recommending contempt to the full House, which was unanimously approved 9-0 on Tuesday. It notes that Bannon reportedly spoke to Trump leading up to the insurrection, promulgated the event and said on his Jan. 5 podcast: “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow.”

Democrats: Nudge attorney general From Page One charge that carries a penalty of up to a year in jail and a fine. That federal prosecutor’s office has declined to prosecute in recent referrals for contempt of Congress. But those referrals were for current government officials who were in the same administration. The political pressure Garland faces around a decision on Bannon, a private citizen who was once part of the

Trump administration, was already apparent at the committee. Democrats knew better than to ask Garland what he would do, and instead nodded to the greater issues in the case about congressional power to investigate. And Garland largely stuck to his script, which was to not even hint at what the Justice Department might do. “The Department of Justice will do what it always does in such circumstances; we’ll apply the facts in the law

and make a decision, consistent with the principles of prosecution,” Garland said. California Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren used her questioning to walk Garland through a series of court decisions and filings that would cut against claims from President Donald Trump and Bannon that documents are protected. That included a 1974 ruling that the executive privilege only covered communications between a president and close advisers only

on official government matters. “I think the Supreme Court’s opinion is still good law, until it’s reversed, and I see no sign that it’s going to be reversed,” Garland replied. And Lofgren pointed to a recent Justice Department filing that stated that conspiring to prevent the lawful certification of the 2020 election and inciting the riot at the Capitol would “plainly fall outside the scope of employment of an officer or employee of the United States of America.”

In brief

Probation receives grant to help monitor Solano DUI offenders FAIRFIELD — A $287,125 grant will help the Solano County Probation Department keep closer tabs on impaired driving offenders. “Our monitoring pr o g r a m helps probationers stay on track with treatment and other cour tordered m e a Hansen sures,” Christopher Hansen, chief probation officer, said in a statement announcing the grant. “The goal is that with additional guidance and help, it will reduce the number of probationers who are arrested or cited again for DUI.” The California Office of Traffic Safety awarded the grant with funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. “The funds will go toward check-ins with probationers to make sure they are following courtordered terms of their probation,” the statement said, “and will also pay for warrant operations targeting probation violations and/or DUI suspects who

do not appear in court, alcohol testing, officer training in standard field sobriety testing and collaborating with courts and prosecutors to establish probation orders.” For more information, visit www.SolanoCounty. com/Depts/Probation or call 784-7600.

Texas urges Supreme Court to reject new challenge to its strict abortion law Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Questioning whether a “right to abortion exists” in this country, Texas state lawyers urged the Supreme Court on Thursday to reject the Biden administration’s plea to suspend a new state law that makes it illegal for doctors to perform abortions after about six weeks of a pregnancy. In a filing with the court, they said the federal government has no authority to intervene in the Texas dispute. The Justice Department “lacks standing because it has not been injured by SB 8,” they wrote, referring to the Texas law. “The federal government cannot get an abortion, and the Constitution does not assign it any special role to protect any putative right to abortion.” Moreover, “if a right to abortion exists, it is a private right,” they said, and disputes may be resolved through lawsuits “between private parties – not the state,” they said. This refers to the novel bounty-hunter provision in the Texas Heartbeat Act, which outlaws abortions after a fetal heartbeat can

The filing said doctors who performed illegal abortions were subject to private lawsuits, but state officials were not charged with enforcing it. The justices now must decide whether to intervene in the Texas case, either to temporarily block the law, or to review its constitutional status on a fast-track basis, or do both. In early September, the court by a 5-4 vote refused to stop the Texas law from taking effect, citing “complex and novel . . . procedural questions.” A week later, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland

I-80 closures in Vallejo set for Nov. 3-5 Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — Westbound Interstate 80, between Interstate 780 and Highway 37, will be closed from 11 p.m. Nov. 3 to 4 a.m. Nov. 4, and eastbound I-80 will be closed in the same location from 11:59 p.m. Nov. 4 to 5 a.m. Nov. 5, the state Department of Transporta-

tion announced. The closures are due to the ongoing I-80 Six Bridges Project, and specifically raising the Benicia Road overcrossing. Westbound traffic on Nov. 3 will need to take Highway 37 to Highway 29 to I-780 and back to westbound I-80. Eastbound traffic on Nov. 4 will need to access I-780 to Highway

29 to Highway 37 and back to eastbound I-80. A 24-hour shuttle service will be available for pedestrians and bicyclists who need to safely cross Benicia Road overcrossing. For more information about the project, call 510-286-5620. Information also is available at i80sixbridgesvallejo.com.

announced the Justice Department was suing Texas for violating the constitutional rights of pregnant women. For nearly 50 years, the high court had said women had a right to choose abortion, he said, and Texas had no authority to defy the Constitution. But earlier this month, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 decision kept the Texas law

in effect, and the Justice Department then filed an emergency appeal to the high court on Monday. The appeal asked the court to put the Texas law on hold because it was clearly unconstitutional. The acting U.S. solicitor general said the court should also consider granting review of the case to decide the constitutional and procedural questions raised by the Texas law. Citing that request, the Texas attorneys said they would welcome an opportunity to argue for overturning Roe vs. Wade and the right to abortion. “There will always be states who seek to protect unborn life through their laws, and there will be those who seek to challenge such laws, unless and until this court returns the question of abortion to where it belongs – the states,” they wrote.

Newsom aims to ban oil drilling within 3,200 feet of schools, homes under draft rule Los Angeles Times

The Caldor fire is reflected off Caples Lake near the Kirkwood ski resort in Lake Tahoe, Sept. 1.

2 months after threatening Tahoe Basin, Caldor fire is 100% contained Tribune Content Agency SAN JOSE — More than two months after it broke out and threatened the iconic Lake Tahoe region, the Caldor fire was 100% contained as of Thursday, fire officials said. The fire – which ultimately burned 221,835 acres across three counties – captured international attention after it emerged Aug. 14 in El Dorado County and raced toward the northeast, blowing past hopeful containment lines, throwing flames into the Tahoe Basin and forcing the evacuation of thousands from the lake’s shoreline. Three days after it started, the fire exploded into the town of Grizzly Flats, razing entire streets in the 1,200-person com-

munity and prompting Cal Fire to request hundreds more sought-after firefighters – many of whom arrived, exhausted, from weeks on the front lines of the massive Dixie fire. Over the next week, high winds stirred the flames to the northeast and forced the indefinite closure of Highway 50. By Aug. 30, the 50,000-some people living in the South Lake area were ordered to evacuated, causing a massive traffic jam and a “nightmare scenario” for those who never expected to flee their homes. Along the way, the fire managed to tear past key stops where fire officials hoped to contain it: first crossing Highway 50, then the ski resort Sierraat-Tahoe, and finally the granite rock face of Echo Summit.

But throughout the first week of September, a shift toward gentler weather conditions allowed crews to start gaining sizable containment of the fire, corralling both its western and eastern edges and evoking cautious optimism for the first time. Thousands of residents began heading back home. As of Thursday, officials said, the fire was not completely put out, with some smoldering and isolated burning expected to continue into the winter months. But with more than 400 miles of containment lines around its perimeter, the blaze was no longer expected to expand outward. California’s ongoing drought has contributed to a brutal fire season this summer, with nearly 2.5 million total acres

burned, three fatalities and about 3,600 structures destroyed or damaged, according to Cal Fire. The Caldor fire alone destroyed more than 1,000 structures, with damage assessments still ongoing. Starting late this week, an influx of rainy weather was expected to lessen fire danger throughout Northern California – but not end it completely. In the Santa Cruz Mountains, a controlled Cal Fire burn near Watsonville jumped past containment lines over the weekend, forcing a retired fire chief and his son to battle the blaze on their own property. That blaze, named the Estrada fire, was 100% contained as of Wednesday, officials said.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration would ban new oil wells within 3,200 feet of schools, homes, hospitals, nursing homes and other community locations deemed under a “sensitive” proposed regulation unveiled Thursday. The proposal would also require new retrofits to minimize pollution for existing wells within the 3,200 setback area in an effort to reduce harmful effects of oil drilling, which has been linked in studies to health problems including birth defects and cancer. Although the rule wouldn’t require existing wells to close, California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot said he thinks the proposal would still have a significant impact. “No new wells will mean that, over years, thousands of wells that would be approved aren’t approved,” he said on a call with reporters. He also added that the administration believes some oil well operators will choose to decommission their wells within the setback area rather than pay for costly retrofits required under the draft rule. Many other oil producing states, including Texas and Pennsylvania, already have setback rules, although the one proposed by California

would be the largest in the country. The proposal could be altered significantly before it becomes an official rule, a process that could take more than a year. The administration had originally planned to release a draft rule on so-called oil drilling setbacks nearly a year ago, but that timeline was pushed back, the Associated Press has reported. The announcement Thursday comes in the wake of a high-profile oil spill off the Orange County coast, in which at least 25,000 gallons of crude oil leaked from a damaged offshore pipeline, killing wildlife and fouling beaches. “Extracting oil is a dirty business and it’s had an impact on Californians,” Environmental Protection Secretary Jared Blumenfeld said, adding that the proposed rule would help protect the health of people in low-income neighborhoods, where oil drilling is more common. “This is really about helping communities and community health.” Newsom’s senior climate adviser Lauren Sanchez said the proposed rule would work in conjunction with Newsom’s other environmental policies, including his previous executive order calling for the state to phase out sales of new gas-powered cars by 2035, to reduce the state’s use of oil.

Braves can’t finish NLCS in L.A., return home for Game 6 vs. Dodgers Gabriel Burns

THE ATLANTA JOURNALCONSTITUTION

LOS ANGELES — The National League Championship Series is headed back to Atlanta, where the Braves need one win to secure a World Series spot - and avoid the same outcome as last season. The Braves couldn’t close the series in Los Angeles, losing Game 5 to the Dodgers 11-2 on Thursday. The Braves maintain a 3-2 advantage in the NLCS and will try to close it Saturday. If they can’t, they’ll host a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday. Most of the series has highly favored the Braves. Before Thursday, they dominated, losing only one game, on an eighth-inning rally. This one was a clunker. The Braves took a first-inning lead when first baseman Freddie Freeman launched a two-run homer off

Dodgers opener Joe Kelly, but it unraveled from there. The Dodgers took the lead an inning later. AJ Pollock belted a solo shot off Braves ace Max Fried. Chris Taylor’s two-run blast put the home team ahead. Los Angeles added its fourth run in the third with a trio of singles off Fried. Fried was far from sharp, giving up four runs on eight hits in 4-2/3 innings. He walked two and surrendered two homers. Manager Brian Snitker removed Fried after he issued a two-out walk to Albert Pujols in the fifth, which marked the third time Pujols reached base against the southpaw. Veteran Chris Martin followed Fried and surrendered a homer to Taylor. The Dodgers scored 11 consecutive runs after Freeman’s See NLCS, Page B3

He’s bigger, stronger and physically, mentally and emotionally more mature. “I feel like, just as a person and as a player, my game has matured a lot,” said Fox, who will turn 24 in December. “Obviously, I’m still working on the defensive side of the ball and shooting the ball, but I feel like I’ve come a long way from just coming in and running fast. I feel like I’m a totally different player from then.” Fox is entering the first year of a new five-year, $163 million max contract with clauses to reach the $195.6 million super

Will physical transformation help Fox lift Kings to playoffs? THE SACRAMENTO BEE

Friends joked that Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox would get called in for a random drug test three weeks before training camp when he posted an Instagram photo of himself powering through singleleg lunges with a pair of 100-pound dumbbells. The next day, Fox received a text message from an NBA doping control officer, summoning him for immediate testing under the league’s offseason anti-doping program. “He’s out there in these pictures and he looks like the Hulk or something,” teammate Tyrese Haliburton said.

Fox has undergone a striking physical transformation since he entered the league as a skinny 19-year-old kid from Kentucky, where he electrified audiences with his speed and quickness in one season with the Wildcats. Fox weighed 169.6 pounds at the NBA combine before the Kings selected him with the No. 5 pick in the 2017 draft. He has packed on nearly 30 pounds since then, adding strength and muscle that serve him well every time he attacks the paint. His chest is bigger. His shoulders are broader. His arms, legs and neck have all gotten thicker. Fox feels different now as he begins his fifth year with the Kings, who open

max. If he improves his free-throw and 3-point shooting, this could be the year he becomes an NBA All-Star. If he begins to reach his potential as a defender, and if others follow suit, Fox could be the one who finally leads the Kings back to the playoffs, ending a record-tying 15-year playoff drought. He has felt the weight of these expectations since the Kings drafted him. Fox has embraced the challenge, famously vowing to fight for the fans who fought to save the team when the Kings were on the verge of relocation. Fox isn’t just talking the talk. He’s putting See Fox, Page B10

Week 10 prep football capsules Armijo (1-7, 0-3) vs. Vanden (6-2, 2-1)

When: Today, 7:30 p.m. Where: George A. Gammon Field, Vanden High Series: Vanden leads 10-8 Last meeting: In the spring, Vanden won 49-0 Last week: Armijo lost to Wood, 27-14; Vanden lost to Vacaville, 35-17 Of note: The Vikings look to bounce back from another disappointing defeat at the hands of Vacaville when they host the Royals for homecoming. The 35-17 loss to the Bulldogs likely erases hopes of an MEL title, but makes preparing for the upcoming postseason the priority. Maxpreps.com playoff predictions have the Vikings seeded second in Division IV with the possibility of a first round bye and up to two home games. . . .For Armijo, last week was another case of “what if.” In fact, the Royals arguably played their best game of the season against Wood, holding the Wildcats scoreless in the first half and coming within two long completions called back by penalties of possibly pulling the upset. . . . Vanden gave up 467 total yards, including 260 rushing, to Vacaville last week, while Armijo had one of its better balanced efforts, including 100 yards on 14 carries by RB David Singleton. However, QB Eddie Concepcion spent much of the night running for his life from Wood’s ferocious pass rush. The Vikings figure to make things difficult for him Friday night as well. . . . Vanden was shutout in the second half by Vacaville last week, but don’t look for a repeat this week. Armijo’s defense was stellar in keeping Wood off the scoreboard in the first half but wound up surrendering 27 points in the second half. . . . Vanden has won the last seven meetings with Armijo by an average score of 42-4 Prediction: Vanden 42, Armijo 6

Fairfield (0-7, 0-3) vs. Wood (6-2, 2-1) When: Today, 7:30 p.m. Where: Wildcat Stadium, Wood High Series: Fairfield leads 15-11 Last meeting: 2019, Wood won 43-0 Last week: Fairfield lost to Rodriguez, 44-0; Wood defeated Armijo, 27-14 Of note: Against the Falcons, who are riding a 26-game losing streak, look for Wood to get some mileage out of someone other than QB Baxter Ken Tilford and RB Jayjay Olaes. The former was limited to one carry against Rodriguez two weeks ago because of an injury but ran for 105 yards – his fourth 100-yard game of the season – on 15 crucial carries last week. The latter has rushed 38 and 34 times his last two games, respectively nearly matching the 74 carries he had in his first five outings combined.

The Wildcats needed every one of his 373 yards and six TDs. . . . The Falcons are looking for their first offensive points of the season, their two TDs coming via kickoff return. . . . Wood has won the last five meetings by an average score of 38-7, though three of the last four have been shutouts by a combined 128-0. . . . The Wildcats are predicted to be the No. 8 seed in Division IV with Placer of Auburn at No. 9. Prediction: Wood 44, Fairfield 0

Rodriguez (7-1, 2-1) vs. Vacaville (6-2, 3-0) When: Today, 7:30 p.m. Where: Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium, Rodriguez High Series: Vacaville leads 13-0 Last meeting: In the spring, Vacaville won 63-8 Last week: Vacaville defeated Vanden, 35-17; Rodriguez defeated Fairfield, 44-0 Of note: The Mustangs have already assured themselves of having the Fairfield-Suisun School District’s first winning season since RHS went 6-5 in 2010 and will likely be its first playoff team since Rodriguez in 2011. The Mustangs’ seven wins are their most since going 9-3 in 2008, firstyear head coach Myles King’s junior season. What Rodriguez has never done is beat Vacaville. The Mustangs are 0-13 against the Bulldogs, their worst showing against any opponent with their troubles with Wood close behind at 2-13. They’ve lost to Vacaville every season starting with a 49-42 instant classic in 2008 when King was their starting quarterback and went 16-of28 for 320 yards and four touchdowns in the game. Vacaville went 0-for-5 through the air that night but rushed for 401 yards and seven touchdowns. . . . After scoring 141 points in the first five games with Vacaville, Rodriguez has managed just 56 in the last eight. The Bulldogs scored 416 points in that span. . . .Vacaville QB Ryan Vaughan and RB Darian Leon-Guerrero were a devastating 1-2 punch last week, the former completing 9-of-16 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 116 yards and one TD on 14 carries. Leon-Guerrero nearly had 100 yards both rushing and receiving, getting 95 yards and one TD on the ground and his two catches both going for touchdowns and combined for 94 yards. Timothy Plowman also had a touchdown reception of 63 yards. All told, the Bulldogs piled up 467 total yards. . . . As with all teams that play Fairfield this season, it’s hard to quantify Rodriguez’s performance last week. They led 36-0 at the half against a team that has yet to score an offensive touchdown this season. . . . Vacaville is predicted by Maxpreps.com to be the No. 4 seed in Division II, which would mean a first round bye. Meanwhile, Rodriguez is predicted to be the No. 9 seed in Division III with a first round game at No. 8 Yuba City. Prediction: Vacaville 52, Rodriguez 20

Rio Vista (2-4, 0-2) vs. Highlands (1-6, 1-3)

When: Today, 7 p.m. Where: Rio Vista High Series: Rio Vista leads 6-4 (since 2000) Last meeting: 2019, Highlands won 42-7 Last week: Rio Vista had a bye; Highlands lost to Golden Sierra, 30-26 Of note: Rio Vista’s game with St. Patrick-St. Vincent last week never materialized, while Highlands lost to Golden Sierra, which was playing just its second game of the season. Scots QB Covon Wheeler ran 21 times for 151 yards and completed 3-of-7 passes – all to Michael Agustus – for 36 yards. RB Mekhi Salahuddin ran for 114 yards, 101 more than he had the week before against Vacaville Christian, and four TDs on 14 carries. . . . Rio Vista, which is predicted by Maxpreps.com, to be the No. 7 seed in Division VII and play at No. 2 Woodland Christian, has played once since Sept. 17, a 22-7 loss to Vacaville Christian on Oct. 1. Prediction: Rio Vista 40, Highlands 12

Vacaville Christian (6-1, 2-1) vs. Esparto (4-2, 3-1) When: Today, 7 p.m. Where: Vacaville Christian High Series: First meeting Last week: San Juan forfeited to Vacaville Christian; Esparto lost to Linden, 28-14 Of note: Last week’s game with San Juan was forfeited to the Falcons, but they get a real opponent in Esparto for homecoming on Friday. The Spartans are having a solid season, including last week’s 28-14 loss to Linden which was tied at 14-14 entering the fourth quarter. Esparto completed just 2-of-14 passes for 50 yards with one TD and an interception, but ran for 207 yards led by Silas Umbay with 60 yards and Nate Arismendez with 59 yards and one TD. The Spartans are averaging 325.7 yards on the ground per game despite having no one with more than 413 yards. Six players have at least 200 yards on the season. . . . Vacaville Christian is predicted by Maxpreps.com to be the top seed in Division VII with a first round home game with Foresthill, while Esparto is predicted to be fifth with a road game at Delta of Clarksburg. Prediction: Vacaville Christian 24, Esparto 20 Last week’s prediction record: 3-0; Season record: 38-13 — Paul Farmer

The USA’s Shaun White takes first place during the Snowboarding Men’s Halfpipe Finals at Pheonix Snow

Park on Feb. 14, 2018, during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang-gun, South Korea.

Shaun White chasing spot on 5th Olympic team at age 35 Mark Zeigler

THE SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

SAN DIEGO — Snowboarder Shaun White recently invested in Shelf Engine, a company that uses computer optimization to reduce food waste by more efficiently stocking grocery stores with perishable goods. One thing that’s not on the shelf yet: him. White confirmed this month what was widely expected, that the 35-year-old from Carlsbad will try to qualify for a fifth U.S. Olympic team and win a fourth gold medal in snowboarding’s halfpipe. Qualifying begins in December. The 2022 Winter Games open Feb. 4 in Beijing. “I’m feeling a little seasoned at this age but hanging in there,” White told a virtual media summit for U.S. Olympic athletes on Tuesday. “I will admit, you know, it is getting harder – just the day in, day out, the grind of doing these tricks. . . . Everything with patience and time.” White had the perfect walk-into-thesunset moment at the 2018 Olympics in South Korea, winning his third gold by landing a pair of cab double cork 1440s (two head-over-heels inverted spins while performing two 360-degree rotations) . . . on the final run of the competition . . . for the first time in his career. Most expected him to retire from snowboarding but not from the Olympics, trying to make the U.S. team in his first love of skateboarding and become only the

49ers From Page B1 or tight end with more than 10 catches in their first five games, might need to lean on their rushing attack in their attempt to snap a threegame losing streak. The Colts own a sturdier run defense (11th in the NFL) than pass defense (20th), and their starting free safety, Julian Blackmon, suffered a torn Achilles in practice Wednesday. Still, given the anticipated bad weather and the oft-injured Garoppolo’s health situation, the fewer dropbacks might be for the better. Garoppolo’s Pro Bowl blindside protector, left tackle Trent Williams, is day-to-day with a sprained ankle and practice-squad QB Nate Sudfeld is poised to serve as his backup with Trey Lance (knee) likely sidelined. The 49ers rank 12th in the NFL in rushing and 14th in passing, and Sunday could be an opportune time to see if a strong ground game can

second person to win gold medals in Winter and Summer Games. That dream ended in March 2020, either because (the cynical version) he never recaptured his childhood form and was too far behind in qualifying or (his version) he rekindled his passion for performing flips on snow. “Obviously I had my sights set on the Summer Olympics,” said White, who signed his first snowboarding endorsement deal at 7 and turned pro at 13. “But with the pandemic that struck and the really tough decision of, am I really ready to walk away from snowboarding yet, I just wasn’t. I switched gears and switched focus back to the winter sports.” White has kept a relatively low profile over the last 18 months, which, considering the previous few years, is probably a good thing. His victory in Pyeongchang was tainted by his description of a lawsuit (ultimately settled) with a female drummer in his rock band that included graphic sexual harassment allegations as “gossip and stuff.” About the time he withdrew from Summer Olympic contention, White began dating Nina Dobrev, a Bulgarianborn, Canadian-raised actress best known for her role in “The Vampire Diaries.” Their relationship reveal came in the form of a social media photo of Dobrev trimming White’s famed red locks during quarantine. They also painted the

exterior of Dobrev’s West Hollywood home, covering the mustard yellow in – what else? – white. “It took forever,” Dobrev told Architectural Digest. “Let’s just say on day one or two, we were really excited, then by day three or four and into the first month, I was like, ‘What have I gotten myself into?’ But it turned out beautiful, so I’m happy I did it.” Said White: “Nina is incredible. What an influence on my life. She runs her own show and her own world and companies she’s involved in and things she’s producing, all this stuff going on, and holds me to the same high standard, which is so wonderful to have in a partner.” He speaks of the “stillness” of life’s slower pace during the pandemic, of being “forced out of that churn of daily obligations,” of being “really content where I’m at,” of “operating on a level of appreciation just to be back here at this.” He’ll need it. The sport continues to evolve at a torrid pace, skewing younger and more athletic. When White won his first gold in 2006, he landed a pair of 1080s (three revolutions). In 2010, his signature trick was a double McTwist 1260 (3½ revolutions). In the weeks before the 2018 Games, no one had cleanly landed two 1440s in the same run; by the end of the competition, two had. One was White, age 31. The other was silver medalist Auyumu Hirano of Japan, age 19. Ten

of the 12 finalists were 23 or under. “I’ve been the youngest competitor as long as I can remember, but I wear it now as somewhat of a badge of honor in a sense,” White said. “To be on top of a sport that’s everchanging and for this amount of time, it’s been a challenge. . . . I took a really bad crash a couple of days ago. I remember I would just kind of like bounce back up and feel great but I’m like, ‘Ooh, might need a couple more days’ rest before I get back out there.’” White hasn’t laid down a competitive halfpipe run since the 2018 Olympics, withdrawing from the 2021 Winter X Games in Aspen last winter with a knee injury. The winner was Japan’s Yuto Totsuka, whose runs regularly include the previously unthinkable combination of frontside double cork 1440, cab double cork 1260 and switch backside double cork 1080. He just turned 20. Or put another way: Totsuka was 4 when White won his first gold. Or another: No one 35 has ever competed in the harrowing event of halfpipe at an Olympics. So is this it for the Flying Tomato? “I always say it might be (the last Olympics) just because that’s how it feels,” White said. “And then time keeps moving on and I’m thinking, ‘Gosh, I’m feeling pretty good, I’m motivated, I’m excited,’ and then boom – I’m at the next one. So I wouldn’t count the next one out.”

again form their offensive identity. “There’s definitely been some ups and there’s been some downs,” fullback Kyle Juszczyk said of the run game. “We’ve struggled to find some consistency.” Students of Kyle Shanahan know he’s had his most success when he’s had a dominant attack with multiple players doing the heavy lifting. Shanahan has been to the playoffs three times in his 14-season career as an offensive coordinator or head coach. And each team – 2012 in Washington, the 2016 Falcons and 2019 49ers – ranked in the top five in rushing yards per game with a multipronged attack. In Washington, with an offense heavy on zone reads, running back Alfred Morris had 1,613 yards and quarterback Robert Griffin III added 815. In Atlanta, it was Devonta Freeman (1,079 yards) and Tevin Coleman (520). And the 49ers used Raheem Mostert (772), Matt Breida (623) and Coleman

(544) en route to the Super Bowl two season ago. Before the season, Shanahan repeated what’s he’s said throughout his five-season tenure: “It’s very important to us to run the ball around here.” Since then, however, the 49ers have lost their best running back, Mostert, to a season-ending injury in Week 1, marking the third time in four years he’s ended the year on injured reserve. The 49ers prepared for such a scenario in the spring when they drafted two running backs, Sermon (third round) and Mitchell (sixth), for the first time since 1991. However, since Mostert was injured, Shanahan has shown no desire to see if his rookies can form his latest backfield tandem. In Week 2, in a win at Philadelphia, Mitchell had 17 carries and Sermon’s lone carry, on which he suffered a concussion, came with less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter. In Week 5, when Mitchell returned from a twogame absence in a loss at Arizona, Lance had

16 carries, Mitchell had nine and Sermon’s lone carry came with less than five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Sermon has had an uneven start to his debut season, but his absence from the game plan against the Cardinals was surprising. The previous week, in his final fill-in start for Mitchell, Sermon was noticeably more decisive while rushing for 89 yards and averaging 4.7 yards a carry. Shanahan often aims to have 30 carries a game. And Mitchell, who suffered a shoulder injury in his first career start and doesn’t have workhorse frame (5-foot-10, 200 pounds), won’t have Lance to share the load Sunday. That is, the 49ers might be forced to give more touches to Sermon and Hasty. If Shanahan’s history is any indication, the 49ers won’t reach the postseason if they don’t get more from their rushing attack. And at some point, perhaps starting Sunday, it will require a group effort.

Briscoe paced Rodriguez with 168 assists, tied for second with 37 block assists and was third with 48 total blocks. Also on the first team is Armijo’s Daniela Heredia. Honorable mention by school: Armijo – Kaylie Reyes, Diya Patel; Fairfield – Jaya Davison, Jailynn Bermudez; Rodriguez – Khaycee Jamais-Cadenas; Vacaville – Alexa Simmons, Mea Todd, Kyra Gossett, Reese Rogers; Vanden – Audrey Alexander, Lauren Whyte, Breanna Davis; Wood – Julia Meek, Cristina Collazo, Hannah Del Rio, Jaiden Austin.

Guzman, Morales each net 2 goals as SCC wins, 6-0 ROCKVILLE — Fatima Guzman and Amber Morales each netted two goals and Dakota Marin added one in the final minutes as Solano Community College cruised to a 6-0 Bay Valley Conference victory over Mendocino, Tuesday. Guzman put the Falcons (7-5-1, 6-1-1 BVC) on the board in the 10th minute off a pass from Ximena

Rodriguez, adding her second goal in the 35th minute with an assist from Savannah Crews. Both of Morales’ goals were unassisted, the first coming in the 14th minute, the second on the 43rd to make it 4-0 at the half. Marin scored her goal in the 88th minute off a pass from Rodriguez with the Falcons adding an own goal as time expired. Solano has a key match on Friday at Los Medanos of Pittsburgh, the only team to defeat the Falcons in BVC play this season .

Middle school flag football

Bandy’s four TDs propel Grange to 25-0 victory FAIRFIELD — Savion Bandy ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more to power the Grange Middle School flag football team to a 25-0 victory over Matt Garcia Career and College Academy, Wednesday. Jordan Lamppkin caught both TD passes for the Grizzlies (5-0), who also got solid defensive play from Angelo Pineda. Grange will play the winner of the K-8 league next week.

Sharks: Get win From Page B1 ice had been out there for over 90 seconds. The Sharks then went out and killed the Burns penalty, with Couture winning a defensive zone faceoff to start. San Jose then limited the Senators to one shot on goal. The Sharks were 4-for-4 on the penalty kill Thursday and are now 9-for-9 on the season. With Reimer making three saves. He also made seven saves during 4-on-4 play. MORE BELIEF: The Sharks were 8-17-3 last season when they allowed the first goal and 3-16-2 when they trailed after the first period. Now, the Sharks are 2-0-0 on both fronts after Ottawa opened the scoring at the 10:06 mark of the first period with a wrist shot from the right circle that got through Reimer. OVERTURNED GOAL: Labanc scored what appeared to be his second of the season with just over six minutes left in the first period as he fired a wrist shot past Senators goalie Matt Murray. But after a coaches challenge by Ottawa, it was determined that Nick Bonino was offside. HAPPY RETURN: Thursday’s game marked the third time Karlsson had been back in Ottawa to play the Senators since he was acquired by the Sharks in a blockbuster Sept. 2018 deal. The Sharks were hammered by the Senators by a combined score of 11-4 in visits in Dec. 2018 and Oct. 2019, with Karlsson earning no points in and being saddled with a plus/minus rating of -6. “It’s important to him (to play well),” Sharks coach Bob Boughner said Thursday morning. “It’s important for us to keep going as a team, sort of getting that monkey off his back or off our back.”

Karlsson now has five points this season and is one of five Sharks players to register a point in all three Sharks games so far. GOALIE WORK: Reimer was solid in the preseason with 1-0-1 record, a .915 save percentage, and a 2.18 goals-against average. Adin Hill was solid in the first two games with a .932 save percentage, and entering Thursday, his 21-save performance Tuesday in the Sharks’ 5-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens marked the lone shutout for any goalie in the NHL so far this season. Part of the credit for the Sharks’ success in their first two games was their shot suppression and overall defensive structure. They allowed only 44 shots in the first two games, and per Natural Stat Trick, had allowed just nine high-danger chances against in that time. The Senators dictated the play at times Thursday as they had 13 shots in the second period and 11 more in the first 17 minutes of the third. Reimer said the Sharks’ compete right now is what’s making the biggest difference. “I think it’s that second effort,” Reimer said. “That willingness to get in a lane, that willingness to put pressure on guys and not take a shift off. That’s what has been really encouraging to see. “More than anything, that really pays off in your own end.” Coming into Thursday, Reimer, in 16 career games in Ottawa, had a 9-6-1 record and a .929 save percentage. He was especially dominant at Canadian Tire Centre in the first half of his career when he was with the Toronto Maple Leafs. “It dates back a long time, obviously, the fun rivalry between the Leafs and the Sens back in the day,” Reimer said. “So it’s always was a lot of fun coming here.”

NLCS: Not over From Page B1 blast. Their offense produced 10 hits over the first five innings after having four hits total against the Braves’ bullpen game Wednesday. They had 17 hits overall. Like outfielder Eddie Rosario’s herculean effort in Game 4, Taylor was remarkable in Game 5. His four-hit night included three homers, the last of which came off lefty Dylan Lee, who covered two innings for the Braves. Taylor had six RBIs. Per MLB statistician Sarah Langs: Taylor’s 13 total bases are the most by a player in

an elimination game in postseason history. The previous high was 11, achieved by John Valentin in 1999. After Freeman’s home run, the Braves managed just three more hits, two of which came from Rosario. Dodgers reliever Brusdar Graterol required 14 pitches to record six outs in the middle of the contest. The Braves didn’t draw a walk against seven Dodgers pitchers. Slugger Jorge Soler was activated from the Covid-19 list before the game. He pinch hit in the eighth inning, See NLCS, Page B10

‘Eternals’ has the MCU’s first deaf superhero. Her deafness is one of her superpowers

Crossword

Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Lauren Ridloff is eager for audiences to meet her groundbreaking “Eternals” character, Makkari. In the comics, Makkari is known primarily for her superhuman speed, which allows her to spin cyclones, run on water and defy gravity. In Marvel Studios’ forthcoming adaptation, Makkari is also deaf – a key asset that distinguishes her from her fellow celestial protectors. “Let’s just say Makkari would not be as fast as she is if it wasn’t for her deafness,” Ridloff told the Los Angeles Times at Monday’s world premiere of “Eternals” in Hollywood. “I can’t wait for people to see the movie and be able to finally talk about it.” “Eternals” follows a coalition of cosmic beings tasked with saving humanity from monstrous forces known as the Deviants. Directed by Oscar winner Chloe Zhao, the film boasts the most diverse cast in MCU history – including Ridloff, a Black and Mexican American deaf actor who plays the franchise’s first deaf superhero. “When I came to the process, Marvel already had a treatment, and these characters were written in the treatment, so I was very impressed by their fight for diversity,” Zhao told the L.A. Times at the premiere. “Not just in terms of gender, race. Different types of diversity. That’s one of the reasons why I was drawn to the project.” The Disney tentpole is also the first MCU installment helmed by a woman of color: Zhao, who is Chinese and made history when she won an Academy Award this year for directing “Nomadland.” “Just to know that I was working with a director like Chloe, I felt very safe,” Ridloff said. “We went through this whole new path as the first deaf superhero in the MCU, but under her direction, I knew that she would do me justice. And I knew that . . . authentic representation really is important to her.” Throughout the production process, Ridloff and Zhao engaged in many conversations about portraying Makkari authentically in an effort to defy stereotypes surrounding the deaf community. “I kept wanting to check in about how we would actually reveal my deafness in the storyline, and we finally got to a point where I felt like we could actually show Makkari as having a deaf benefit or a deaf gain,” Ridloff said. “That’s a word that we use within the community” – as opposed to “hearing loss” – “to

Actress Lauren Ridloff arrives for the world premiere of Marvel Studios’ “Eternals” at the Dolby theatre in Los Angeles, Monday, Oct. 18. show the idea that being deaf can actually be a good thing too, and we show that in the movie.” The crowded “Eternals” ensemble represents a variety of abilities, ethnicities, genders, ages and sexualities. Though there are a whopping 10 Eternals in the main cast, the president of Marvel Studios has said that, if there’s a lead in the film, it’s Gemma Chan’s Sersi. That would make Chan the first woman of Asian descent to headline a Marvel movie. “We are so different – each of us, from each other – our backgrounds, our cultural heritage,” Chan told the L.A. Times at Monday’s premiere. “But we kind of became like one big, dysfunctional family, and it was about being supportive of each other and celebrating our differences.” “Eternals,” which opens in theaters Nov. 5, also introduces the franchise’s first gay superhero in Brian Tyree Henry’s Phastos. And Haaz Sleiman, who plays Phastos’ mortal husband, said he “couldn’t be luckier to be a part of” the inclusive project. “This is the world that we live in,” Sleiman said. “It is diverse. We are all these different kinds of people. That’s what makes us beautiful.” Marvel producer Nate Moore – who has also worked on the “Captain America” movies, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “Black Panther” – cited the success of “Black Panther,” “Captain Marvel” and “Shang-Chi” as evidence that inclusivity attracts moviegoers. “For a long time, there seemed to be an unspoken rule that diverse casts wouldn’t draw people to theaters, and I don’t think that’s true,” Moore said. “Hopefully, this is just another brick in the wall that

proves that hypothesis is wrong and encourages other studios to take chances on big movies with diverse casts. “Chloe is a woman of color,” he added. “She also just happens to be a fantastic filmmaker, and I think that’s the most important thing. It’s not her gender, not her nationality. It’s that she’s got a great eye and wants to tell a great story.” In addition to being diverse, the cast of “Eternals” is also star-studded. Rounding out the titular team of godlike saviors are Salma Hayek as Ajak, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Barry Keoghan as Druig, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lia McHugh as Sprite and Angelina Jolie as Thena. “I feel so fortunate to be in such good company and to be working with such amazing people,” Chan said. “In particular, Angie and Salma I’ve admired for a long time. They’re such powerful women. The guys aren’t bad as well, I should say . . . I feel very lucky.” Ridloff was also a big fan of Jolie and Hayek before acting alongside them in “Eternals,” while 14-year-old McHugh had a “freak-out little girl moment” upon meeting Madden – aka Prince Charming himself from her generation’s version of “Cinderella.” “I was so surprised about how warm, kind and caring [Jolie] was as a person,” Ridloff said. “Angie is very collaborative. She actually looks out for the best of all of us . . . “And I really look up to Salma,” she added. “I remember when I first saw her – in the movie ‘Desperado’ when I was in college – I was already in love. And to work with her? I mean, wow.”

The West hand was strong enough to open one heart. Edgar Kaplan and Jeff Rubens rate it at 13.4 points. If you interchange a low heart and the diamond ace, the hand’s value soars to 15.5 points. North’s two-club response, Drury, showed a maximum pass with spade support. South overbid slightly in jumping to game. West leads the diamond ace, not denying the king. When the queen appears in the dummy, East, who thinks his partner also has the diamond king, will usually give a count signal. But what does West have in diamonds? The bare ace, ace-king-third or ace-king-fourth. (With ace-kingdoubleton, he would have led the king. With ace-doubleton, he would have led another suit.) Will a count signal from East help? Only if he has a doubleton and can ruff the third round of diamonds. Unlikely, but not impossible. So, East should play his diamond two.

“Dune” has the vast scope, large-scale effects and spectacular visuals of an installation that takes up a couple floors of a museum. It also has about as much narrative momentum. Director Denis Villeneuve, whose last epic was the similarly story-challenged and humorless “Blade Runner 2049,” knows how to suck us into cinematic worlds where every detail convinces us we’re in a new dimension. (Although I suspect this will not work as well if you choose to watch “Dune” at home instead of on the huge screens for which it was created.) The look of “Dune” owes a bit to the “Star Wars” movies, on which “Dune” novelist Frank Herbert was obviously an influence, and to the dusty “Road Warrior” movies. But it still feels like its own thing, with Brutalist spacecraft and helicopters whose wings flutter like dragonflies, images that help situate us in the war-torn year of 10191. Timothee Chalamet is at the center of the action as Paul, who may be “The One” to save his people from destroying one another in an already ravaged world. The scion of the house of Atreides (there’s a whiff of Greek tragedy here), Paul is learning to harness a power called “the way.” Yep, it’s kinda like “the force.” It could help him broker peace between warring houses, especially since Paul’s mysteriously gifted mother (Rebecca Ferguson) believes he possesses “a mind powerful enough to bridge space and time, past and future.” There’s a lot happening in “Dune,” which also finds a little room for Javier Bardem as a menacing possible ally for Paul and Zendaya as a warrior who’s too gorgeous not to be a Paul love interest if future “Dune” movies get made. Villeneuve, who has

HH (out of four) said he hopes to make a sequel, tries to cram so many tantalizing bits into the movie that it feels like a precis of itself, with characters popping in and out so quickly that they barely have time to make an impact. I’m thinking in particular of Charlotte Rampling as a compassionless mentor who helps start Paul’s heroic journey. But then I’d argue that every movie needs more Charlotte Rampling than it has. The result is a movie that seems to move both too quickly (Wait. What are the ramifications of that last conflict?) and too slowly (When are we going to get to the why of all of this?). With so much at stake and so many potentially intriguing diversions, “Dune” probably would have worked better as a big, expensive miniseries like “Game of Thrones,” where we’d have time to know the enormous cast and explore many worlds. Although there’s clearly more story to tell, the good news is that “Dune” does feel like a whole movie. Unlike, say, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I,” it has an ending, even if it’s one that makes you suspect that when a character shouts, “I thought we had more time,” he’s speaking for his director, too.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 9390772 or visit this Internet Website at www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case 17-00926A. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 17-00926A to find the date on which the trusteeʼs sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trusteeʼs sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trusteeʼs sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Will the big changes shape up schools?

ig things are obviously happening in California’s public school system these days and they will certainly affect not only the lives of nearly 6 million K-12 students but the state’s economic and social well-being for decades to come. Unfortunately, however, it’s unclear how they intertwine and whether the long-term effects will be positive or negative. To begin, schools are being flooded with many billions of new dollars, much of it from a bumper crop of sales and income taxes, plus another big injection of federal pandemic recovery cash. The 2021-22 state budget appropriates $123.9 billion in state and local funds for K-12 education. That translates into a record $21,555 per pupil, about Dan Walters double what it was a decade ago, and now in the upper ranks of states. Conversely, however, many school districts, particularly those in urban areas, are experiencing financial distress because their enrollments have been dropping. A long-term enrollment slide caused by declining birth and immigration rates is compounded by pandemicrelated effects. Some parents refuse to send their children to school due to Covid-19 fears and others because they oppose mandatory vaccination. Enrollment is down by more than 160,000 this year and the state Department of Finance projects a 700,000-student decline from pre-pandemic levels by 2031. While school district revenues are determined largely by enrollment, the state froze those formulas as the pandemic erupted and schools were shuttered last year. It protected districts from calamitous revenue losses in the short run and school officials are pressing Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislators to protect them from longer-term declines by modifying enrollment-based financing. Speaking of which, for nearly a decade, much state school aid has been allocated not on enrollment alone, but by demographic characteristics. Districts with substantial numbers of poor and English-learner students have received extra per-pupil grants with the expectation that the money will close the “achievement gap” between them and their more privileged classmates. About 60% of K-12 students are considered “high needs.” Former Gov. Jerry Brown championed the Local Control Funding Formula but refused to have the state monitor whether the billions of extra dollars were being spent on educating the targeted children and whether it was, indeed, improving their academic achievement. He said he trusted local school officials to do the right thing. In the absence of state oversight, the Local Control Funding Formula’s efficacy has never been evaluated – until now. This month, the Public Policy Institute of California produced a comprehensive overview, packed with data and analysis. The oversimplified bottom line is that just over half of the extra money is being spent on schools whose students generated it and so far, it appears to have had a marginally positive impact. The new state budget doubles down on the Local Control Funding Formula on the official presumption that it works but the Public Policy Institute of California study indicates that effectiveness hinges on its funds being concentrated and spent wisely on children who need help the most. It also indicates that if we move away from enrollment-based financing as local officials seek, tightening up the Local Control Funding Formula to truly narrow the achievement gap must be one factor. Finally, Newsom recently signed Assembly Bill 599, which puts new teeth into a landmark 2004 court case that ordered local districts to ensure that their low-performing schools are in good repair and have up-to-date instructional materials and properly certificated teachers. By defining them, it establishes a list of 2,000 schools that must be inspected for compliance. Will more money, more insight and more oversight raise California’s shamefully poor academic performance vis-à-vis those of other states – even arch-rival Texas? Our future depends on it.

their actions with the intent to reduce, change or eliminate the bad behavior. If the behavior continues, then the consequences should be escalated until the behavior changes. There is no precise formula for all. Each individual responds differently to different forms of discipline. For example: You’re the counselor for a group home. Two youths in your facility break curfew. The consequence for both of them is to deny the privilege of video games for one week. Well, one youth is a gamer and the other is not. That consequence may be enough to be effective for the youth who is a gamer but not for the other one. As a parent or youth worker, it helps to study the habits, behaviors and activities of the youth you are working with in order to understand what they value. With this knowledge, the discipline that you provide will be specific to them and more effective. Discipline and consequences should be applied just as diligently and precisely as when a doctor prescribes medicine. The doctor provides a specific amount of dosage to treat the illness for that patient, but too much could be fatal. Deon D. Price is an author and youth life skills coach who lives in Fairfield.

try to move through each day with authenticity. Stay woke. Keep it real. Those rallying cries encourage the striver to remain on the offensive. To fight. To never back down. Personal authenticity is sometimes so highly weaponized that it’s akin to an explosive device that detonates under pressure, leaving everyone bloodied and scarred. Remembering where you came from is not just about what you take with you as you move forward. It’s not just about one’s obligations to the future. It’s also a reassurance that there’s always something you can come home to. It’s a statement about solace. It’s a reminder that you have a soft place to land when you stumble. Because everyone stumbles. And barrier-breakers are sure to get knocked around and screw up. The terrible mistake that haunted Powell were his words justifying the U.S. war in Iraq – notably his speech before the U.N. Security Council in 2003 warning about weapons of mass destruction. He later acknowledged that the speech would forever be a stain on his record. There are those for whom his contribution to the war in Iraq will be the totality of his legacy. But regret is also part of his Iraq story. And regret is a rarity. But if you are keenly aware of where you came from and you are secure in the knowledge that that is a place of enduring welcome, then admitting to one’s own failures comes with a safety net. It doesn’t feel so much like plummeting to the bottom of a lonely abyss. The folks back where you came from may not go easy on you. They will not coddle you. But they will let you come home. Powell was a historic figure. He was a Republican; he was democratic. He flew high; he committed a grave sin. He was a Black man. And he never forgot.

Fox: 25.2 points per game last season From Page B1 in the work required to take his game and the Kings organization to another level. “His leadership, his work ethic, his consistency continues to grow, (and) the commitment,” Kings coach Luke Walton said. “His body is continuing to change and get stronger. He’s growing into that, and I think he’s made nice progress each year.”

Leaps and bounds Fox averaged 11.6 points, 4.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds as a rookie, but he shot just 41.2% from the field and 30.7% from 3-point range. He made significant leaps in his second, third and fourth seasons, emerging as one of the most dynamic young scorers in the league. Fox averaged 17.3 points in 2018-19 and 21.1 points in 2019-20. He had another breakthrough last season, averaging a career-high 25.2 points, 7.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals. Fox shot 47.7% from the field, but he hit just 32.2% from 3-point range and 71.9% at the free-throw line, two areas where he is still striving for improvement. Fox finished ninth in the NBA with 7.2 freethrow attempts per game last season. The Kings felt that number should have been higher, arguing he

was not getting the benefit of many calls around the basket. “He wanted to put on weight to make sure his body can withstand the fouls – let’s call it what it is – the fouls he takes every single time he drives to the basket,” Kings forward Harrison Barnes said. “I think he’s in great shape to have a big season for us.” Fox’s scoring average would have been more than a half-point higher if he were an 80% free-throw shooter and nearly another half-point higher if he had shot 35% from 3-point range. Fox believes increased strength will help him become a more consistent and efficient shooter. “Going into the offseason, it was really about being stronger. That’s kind of always a focus, and then a big emphasis on shooting the ball off the dribble,” Fox said. “That’s where a lot of my shots have come from, so just being able to be more efficient off the dribble.” Fox’s increased strength has already helped him improve his finishing ability around the rim. His field-goal percentage inside of 3 feet jumped from 65.5% to 76.3% last season. “He was already one of the best finishers in the league, but I think now it makes him even better around the rim,” Kings forward Maurice Har-

Walton said Fox’s improving strength will benefit him at both ends of the floor. “It helps getting over screens (on defense),” Walton said. “So much of today’s NBA is 100 pick and rolls a night. If you’re a guard, you’ve got to be able to take that contact, so it will help fighting through screens and getting into people. And on the other end, finishing as well when he gets into the paint and being able to absorb that contact.” Fox agreed, acknowledging his individual defense needs to improve. “That’s something I know I needed to step up coming into this year, being a better defender,” Fox said. “Not just for spurts, but for a long period of the game, and for that it’s really just getting through screens and things like that. You’re going to take punishment, especially playing the guard spot, so just being able to stay fresh throughout the game, being able to guard throughout the whole 48 minutes. “Added muscle defi-

nitely helps. Physically, whenever you’re guarding someone one-on-one, you’re going to take hits. And then, fighting through ball screens, bigs are going to come and hit you, so the stronger you are, the more you can push up on your guy, getting through the screens. I think strength definitely helps a lot. For the most part, the guys in the league who are good defenders are usually pretty strong.” Fox is gaining that reputation, too. He isn’t done growing his game and developing his frame, but he believes he’s in a good place as he enters another new season in Sacramento. “At some point in my career, I would like to play over 200 (pounds), something like that,” Fox said. “I’m at like 197 right now, so I’m almost 30 pounds up from where I was at the combine. As I’ve gotten stronger, I feel like I’ve gotten faster, more explosive, things like that, so it’s nothing that’s ever weighed me down. “It has made shooting the ball a lot easier, just being stronger, but a lot of it just came with time. I’ve always been strong for my weight, but putting the weight on was kind of difficult. As I’ve gotten older, it’s been easier for me to put weight on, so I’m probably not where I want to be, but at 23 years old, this is good for me right now.”

striking out against Corey Knebel. While the Braves squandered their 3-1 advantage over the Dodgers during the 2020 NLCS, one of many distinct differences this time: The Braves will be playing at home for Game 6 and – if it reaches that point – Game 7. The Braves earned home-field advantage as a division champion, despite their 88 wins falling well short of the Dodgers’ 106 victories.

The Giants won the NL West with 107 wins. The homefield element looms large now. The Braves and Dodgers will play Game 6 on Saturday at Truist Park, where the Braves won Games 1 and 2. Neither team has announced its starter, but it will likely be Braves righthander Ian Anderson against Dodgers co-ace Max Scherzer, who will be fully rested after having to carry a heavier load throughout the postseason.
