FAIRFIELD — Solano County is doing its fair share to reach the projected 3.7 million centenarians living across the globe in 2050. The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday recognized 43 who have made it to the century mark. The 15th annual event, held virtually for the second consecutive year due to Covid-19 concerns, featured a slide show of the honorees, two of them who have celebrated their 106th birthdays: Hazel Booher of Fairfield and Dorothy Pennycott of Vacaville. Booher made note at the October event in 2015 that she wasn’t hitting the century mark until Nov. 3. (Anyone celebrating their 100th birthday within the calendar year is eligible for

the commemoration.) The Minnesota native was a military wife who had two children and played the organ at her church. “You did this last year,” Pennycott told Supervisor John Vasquez in 2018. “I want to come next year if I can,” she said. “I hope you are here next year,” she told Vasquez. Both have been part of the annual event ever since. Pennycott shook the hand of Charles Lindbergh once. She plays Bingo weekly at the McBride Senior Center in Vacaville. Jennalee Dawson oversaw the event. She makes an annual appeal for Solano County centenarians and finds many in local residential facilities with which she works. Frances McCullough has lived

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Supervisor Jim Spering called the new state law mandating recycling organic waste “heavy-handed,” but facing state fines if out of compliance, joined the other board members in Tuesday introducing the ordinance. That fine could be as much as spering $10,000 a day if the county does not have the law on its books by the start of the new year. Mitch Supervisor Mashburn also expressed his concerns about “the unfunded state mandate,” and how the costs of implementing the law will force restaurants and grocery stores to

Pfizer’s Covid vaccine for younger kids wins FDA panel’s backing The benefits of a Covid-19 vaccine for young children made by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE exceed its risks, according to a panel of U.S. experts, putting a shot for the

youngest school-age children on track for a likely clearance. The Food and Drug Ad m i n ist rat ion’s vaccines advisory committee voted 17-0, with one abstention, to back the immunization, which is intended for children

from 5 to 11 years old and is one-third the dose currently given to people age 12 and older. Making a vaccine available to children in elementary school would mark a major milestone in the pandemic. Though kids generally don’t get

as sick from Covid-19 as adults, schools have been at the center of public debate over U.S. virus policy, and providing children with a shield against infection is likely to be welcomed by

FAIRFIELD — Seven roads were closed and every city in Solano County experienced at least some level of flooding from Sunday’s storm, which dropped 6 inches of rain over a 24-hour period in some areas. Public Works crews were out Tuesday assessing possible damage to bridges and culverts, while other crews were looking at areas where possible landslides or

A dogwood tree fell on top of a restroom at Lake Solano Park, which also lost an old oak tree that fell and blocked part of the campground area. There were other minor issues at some of the other county parks, the Board of Supervisors was told at its Tuesday meeting. Having a week or so See Flood, Page A10

There were also concerns about vermin and other pests being attracted to the food waste. But Supervisor Erin Hannigan said she did not think the law will be that much of a burden, and County Administrator Birgitta Corsello said similar recycling programs exist across the country, including what she described as a “robust program” in Las Vegas.

and interpretation of peer reviewed and empirically rigorous research studies. It is important to note that what counts as “research” is generally much narrower than commonly believed or understood by school stakeholders and the general public. I’ve had graduate students who actually tried to argue that their thesis citation of a Wikipedia article or a commentary in Education Week was in fact “research.” While both sources may contain interesting and even relevant information, they are not peer reviewed primary research publications based on empirically supportable methodologies. One problem with authentic academic research is that it is often ladled with arcane descriptions of methodological processes and complicated data analyses to be of much use to educational practitioners. Moreover, researchers often present their findings in a conservative light and are hesitant to make sweeping

generalizations about the relevance of their findings. There is also a huge difference in quantitative (statistical) versus qualitative (descriptive) research and their comparative relevance to education policymaking and practice. Without wading any deeper into the enormous complexities and nuances of educational research, my point is that high quality research is more likely to “infiltrate” school classrooms in bits and pieces. The application of research findings in school classrooms will vary considerably based on local policies and politics, management philosophies, school culture, student characteristics, teacher skills and available resources. Finally, in the immensely complicated arenas of education policymaking and reform, academic research is often a bit player. What eventually tumbles out of the political process must first survive a brutal gantlet of horse-trading, power plays, influence peddling and sym-

bolic activities. It must also have mass public appeal, which often means the fundamental principles of a particular policy might just as easily be built around popular notions (and even myths) about what good education is, or ought to be. Research can, and often does contribute to policy development, but it is often used to shore up the partisan ideological positions of its supporters. Moreover, many policymakers lack the professional or academic expertise in education to understand it deeply and accurately. The reality is that high quality research-based practices are unevenly acquired and applied in America’s classrooms. Nevertheless, a huge base of credible education knowledge exists. The challenge is how to harvest it effectively. Stephen Davis is a career educator who writes a column that publishes every other Wednesday in the Daily Republic.

I loved hearing her stories. And my grandchildren seem to love hearing mine. Even the ones they’ve heard before. “Tell it again, Nana!” they say. So I do, and they start laughing before I get to the funny part. Recently, after they were done splashing each other in our hot tub, Randy, 11, Wiley, 8, and Eleanor, 6, wrapped in towels and begged to hear a Halloween story – one I’ve told them (and you) countless times. Here it is: Once upon a time, when I was 10, my mother told me to make costumes from nothing and take my brothers treat-or-treating. Denton was 4. He looked like a monkey. All he needed was a banana. Joe was 6, and totally blind. I threw a sheet over his head, but forgot to tell him he was a ghost. I made myself a tinfoil crown and off we went. I wish you could’ve seen us. Denton ate his banana, but kept the peel. Joe kept tripping on the sheet. We knocked on the first door and waited. Joe

said, “I hope she’s got candy. I don’t want no sorry apple.” Then the door flew open and we all shouted, “Trick-or-treat!” Mrs. Fisher patted Joe’s head through the sheet and said, “What a cute little ghost!” And Joe yelled, “I ain’t a ghost! I’m a mattress!” True story, I swear, with only a few minor embellishments. My grandkids love it. They beg me tell it again and again. I’ve told them lots of stories. I hope to tell them

more as they, and I, grow older. I want them to know and remember me and the big, crazy family I grew up in – all those storytellers that I knew and loved – people the kids may never have met, but who are, in fact, their family, too. Stories are the unbreakable threads that bind generations together, that show us our roots, tell us who we are, and give us hope for all that we can be. Tell your stories. Write them or record them or set them to music. Do it now for yourself, for your

children and your grandchildren and all the children you will never meet. My grandkids have never met their “Great Uncle Joe,” but they won’t soon forget him. To them, he will always be, not a ghost, but a very lovable – if somewhat cantankerous – mattress. Sharon Randall is the author of “The World and Then Some.” She can be reached at P.O.

Supes increase contract funding for redistricting consultant Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday approved a $21,000 contract amendment with Redistricting Partners to provide additional meetings on the census redistricting effort. That takes the full contract to $94,500, which started April 6 and goes through the completion of the final districting map to be approved by the Board of Supervisors. The board will hold its next public meeting at 6 p.m. Nov. 17. The early input from residents has been for the county to try not to divide their communities – particularly in more rural areas such as Green Valley and Dixon, but also places such as Cordelia Villages and Benicia. Cordelia residents, however, indicated they would rather be aligned with Green Valley

than Fairfield. The county, by law, is supposed to try to keep the districts as evenly populated as possible, but also take into consideration what are termed “communities of interest” that may have common demographics that should not be separated. The 21-page RedisAdvisory tricting Committee report shows a 2020 Census population of 447,857, an 8.3% increase from the 413,483 counted residents in 2010. The deadline to have a final map is Dec. 15, but in reality, that decision has to be finalized by Dec. 7 so the material can be published. The board’s final meeting on the matter is slated Dec. 7.

Covid numbers continue downward trend; still above pre-surge level Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Public Health Division reported 115 new coronavirus cases Monday – continuing the downward trend of recent weeks. However, the numbers still have not lowered to the level experienced prior to the surge that started around July 4. “Nothing surprising, really just a continuation of the trend we’ve been experiencing,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview. Of the 115 cases, only 87 were since Friday’s update, making the three-day average 29 cases per day. The 10-day daily case average was 32.3%, down from Friday’s report of 34.8%, the county reported. The seven-day positivity testing rate also dipped, going from 5.5% Friday to 4.5% Monday. The additional cases take the Solano total for the pandemic to 45,503,

were hospitalized with Covid-19 on Monday was 36, a notch down from Friday’s 37. The number of patients in the intensive

care units was 12, which is the same as Friday, the county reported. Vaccination levels remained the same, with 69% of residents 12 or older having been fully vaccinated and 79% of that population having received at least one shot. The number of booster shots administered was up to 18,000. Fairfield added a county-high 35 cases to take its total to 12,198. Vallejo was at 13,336 after 28 new reports. Vacaville added 33 cases to its count, which now stands at 11,950, the county reported. Suisun City (3,223) added eight new cases; Dixon (2,531) added two cases; Benicia (1,522) added three; Rio Vista (603) added five; and one more case in the unincorporated area of the county took that total to 140, the county reported. Solano County does not report case updates on Tuesdays. The next update is scheduled late Wednesday afternoon.

Supes to seek injunction against homeowners for ‘illegal tourist home’ Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors voted in closed session Tuesday to seek an injunction against property owners who have been using their Green Valley home as a

short-term vacation rental without the required county permit. The vote was 5-0, County Counsel Bernadette Curry announced. Gerald Heyman and Amanda Rothstein had been using their house at 4376 Edinburg Court

as a tourist home prior to seeking the permit, the application for which was effectively denied by a deadlocked Planning Commission and then denied 4-1 by the Board of Supervisors. Neighbors of the house complained about noise,

traffic, risk of fire and other issues related to the use. The county planning staff believed the owners had addressed those issues and recommended approval of the permit. But the Planning Commission was divided, 2-2, with those against the use

arguing it was the wrong fit for the makeup of the neighborhood. Apparently, however, Heyman and Rothstein continued to rent out the house, which was recently vandalized with a subtle threat of retaliation if the homeowners contin-

ued to use the property as a vacation home. The people who were renting the house, unaware of the history of bad feelings in the neighborhood, also had all four tires on their rental van slashed.

Linda M. Miner, 96, passed away on Sept. 29, 2021, surrounded by her family, after a short hospital stay. Linda was born in Fulton, New York, to dairy farmers Vernon and Eva Stowell. Her love of the outdoors comes from all the time she spent working on the farm in her youth. She loved to nurture nature and care for plants and vegetation, watching them grow.

Local calls now require 707 area code in Solano to launch US suicide hotline Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County residents must now dial the 707 area code when making calls on land lines due to the transition nationally to a 988 Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The change was effective starting Sunday. A news release from

the Federal Communications Commission said the agency adopted rules to establish 988 as the new, nationwide, three-digit phone number for Americans in crisis. The rules require phone service providers to direct all 988 calls to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by July 16, 2022.

Because of this, certain parts of the country will need to transition to 10-digit dialing. For area codes like 707, anyone that wants to complete all local nonmobile calls will need to dial the area code plus the telephone number. This applies to all calls within area codes that are cur-

rently dialed with seven digits and have 988 as the first three digits, the release said. This does not affect mobile callers as mobile calls already require 10-digit dialing. Area codes directly affected by this in

FAIRFIELD — Elmira has not had a bar since The Cabin closed in 2013. “There’s still a lot of work to do if you have seen the buildings,” Roger Duham, a partner with Jeremy Mason and Billy Merritt in Diversity Beer, told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. The board, with Supervisor Erin Hannigan absent for the afternoon session, unanimously approved the rezoning application for 0.48 acres, from Residential Traditional Community to Residential Traditional Community Mixed Use at 6077 and 6081 California Pacific Road.

Pickup truck crashes into building, sends 1 to hospital Daily Republic Staff

ROCKVILLE — One person was sent to the hospital after a threevehicle crash that sent a pickup crashing into a vacant business. The crash happened around 1:45 p.m. Monday on Suisun Valley Road near Rockville Road. A California Highway Patrol officer at the scene said a pickup truck and a Lexus sedan were moving in opposite directions after it appears that one of the drivers ran a red light at the intersection and the pickup truck collided with the Lexus, sending the Lexus into a parked vehicle and the pickup into the building. The CHP was investigating to determine if a driver ran a red light and if so, which driver did so.

Man who abused child over 7 years faces life in prison Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — A child molester who abused his victim over seven years now faces a life sentence in prison. A Solano County Superior Court jury last week found Vinctonivish D. Lee, 30, of Vallejo, guilty of four counts of having sex with a child 10 or younger, aggravated sexual assault of a child, rape of a child younger than 14, three counts of forcible rape, three counts of forcible oral copulation, three counts of forcible lewd acts, one count of an attempted lewd act and one count of

furnishing marijuana to a minor older than 14. “Over a period of seven years from 2010 to 2017, (Lee), who was entrusted with the care of a young child, committed the unthinkable crimes against her while living in Contra Costa County and Solano County,” the Solano County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. “As a young child, the victim was threatened with discipline if she reported the abuse. As the sexual abuse continued, (Lee) would have the victim’s siblings go in their rooms and close the door while he sexually assaulted the victim.”

The victim’s mother became aware of the abuse in December 2018 when she found her daughter’s diary, which documented the abuse, the District Attorney’s Office reported. Lee was arrested by the Vallejo police on Jan. 30, 2019. “The child came forward and courageously spoke to law enforcement and courageously testified at trial regarding the abuse she suffered from the age of 8 years old to 15 years old,” the statement said. The jury also was presented physical evidence See Prison, Page A6

FAIRFIELD — A day with partly sunny skies greeted Solano County residents Monday after a series of storms dropped more than 5 inches of rain on Fairfield and the surrounding area over the course of the weekend. The National Weather reports that Service

5.7 inches of rainfall was recorded at Travis Air Force Base between Friday and 11 a.m. Monday, with traces of rainfall recorded throughout Monday afternoon. A total of 5.8 inches of rainfall was recorded at the Napa Airport, with trace rainfall Monday afternoon. A total of 4.66 inches was recorded at Sacramento International Airport, the weather service reports, while 6.34 inches was recorded

at Sacramento Executive Airport in the city. The weather station at the Nut Tree Airport in Vacaville did not record rainfall totals throughout much of the weekend during times when the station reported moderate to heavy rainfall, the National Weather Service reports. The water level at Lake Berryessa rose nearly 3 feet during the storm, from 401.2 feet Friday to 404.1 feet Monday, the Solano County Water

Agency reports. The storm added 43,015.8 acre-feet of water to the lake – enough water to cover that number of acres in a foot of water. An acre-foot of water equals approximately 326,000 gallons – enough to cover a football field in a foot of water. The Water Education Foundation reports that an average California household uses between one-half and one acre-foot of water per year for indoor and outdoor use.

VACAVILLE — Christopher Diaz will present “Vacaville’s Forgotten Japanese Community” at the next meeting of the Solano County Genealogical Society. The virtual presentation begins at 11 a.m. Nov. 6. Vacaville once had one of the largest populations of Japanese residents in California. The Japanese community in Vacaville, before internments during World War II, was a thriving presence that helped make the town a prosperous agricultural hub, the genealogical society reports. A Central Valley newspaper even dubbed Vacaville the “Tokyo of the West.” However, after internment ended, former Japanese residents of Vacaville were not welcomed back and most never returned.

VACAVILLE — The Solano County Office of Education invites the community to celebrate neurodiversity at the redcarpet film premiere for the short film, “Tales from the Grave.” The premiere will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Sun Rise Event Center, 620 Orange Drive. The young adults who helped make the film will arrive in limousines, dressed in gowns and tuxedos for a walk down the red carpet. More

than 300 Solano community members will be joining the celebration in person. The event will also be broadcast live for those who prefer to view from home. The Solano County Office of Education, in partnership with North Bay Regional Center, hosts film camps through Inclusion Films at no cost to any student. Founded by filmmaker Joey Travolta, Inclusion Films’ film camp teaches the principles of filmmaking to young adults with developmental differences,

ages 18 to 23. Campers within the two-week session develop a script, act and record their film with professional filmmaking support and equipment. The idea for the film being debuted was developed this summer by young adults who attended the camp. The 2020 film camp was canceled due to the pandemic. The Solano County Office of Education workforce development department rallied in 2021 to make film camp a reality See Film, Page A7

Record rains transform parched state, but ending drought remains elusive Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — The drought-dried shores of Folsom Lake were damp this week after what officials called the first big storm of the season. The water level at Lake Oroville, which receded so much this summer that officials had to close its hydroelectric power plant for the first time, rose by more than 16 feet. And the Russian River – recently reduced to something more like a trickle – flowed with more ease after the atmospheric river dumped record-breaking amounts of rain across California, replenishing dwindled reservoirs and rehydrating cracked terrain. Despite the mayhem the atmospheric river caused for some residents, the historic storm marked a welcome change for a parched California after a year of heat and drought with so little rain. “If we could have designed a storm it would have been this one,” said Emma Detwiler, a spokeswoman for the Marin Municipal Water District, which saw its depleted reservoirs grow from 32% capacity to 43% during the storm. “It’s a great step in the right direction.” But while the massive plume of moisture helped, experts said it will take much more than one storm to make a dent in the drought. The 2021 Winter Outlook recently released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that dry conditions are likely to

Lund, director of the UC Davis Center for Watershed Science. “One storm does not end that kind of a drought.” The fast-moving storm shattered several records as it moved through the state Sunday and Monday. Downtown Sacramento saw a record 24-hour rainfall total of 5.44 inches, surpassing a mark set in 1880, the National Weather Service said. City officials said the precipitation totals represented even more than a “200-year storm level,” which occurs at 4.6 inches and has only a 0.5% chance of occurring in any given year. Placer County’s Blue Canyon received 10.4 inches of rain – breaking its previ-

ous record from 1964. And in the San Francisco Bay Area, the 4.02 inches of rain that fell Sunday marked the wettest October day in downtown San Francisco, and the city’s fourth-wettest day in recorded history. The storm was “unusual for this time of year in terms of its strength,” David Sweet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said Monday. “It’s a very, very powerful storm.” Crucially, the heavy rains helped revive some of Northern California’s depleted water storage reservoirs. Between Saturday and Sunday, water flowing into Lake Oroville – a key part of the State Water Project – increased nearly 12 times, to 39,839 cubic feet per second. Inflow into Folsom Reservoir increased eight times, and water streaming into

Shasta tripled. Prior to the storms, all three reservoirs were a quarter full or less. “It definitely puts a new deposit into the bank account that was about to be overdrafted,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. “It really is going to help some of these smaller water districts along the coast that were really struggling, not tied into the state water system, and thinking about emergency contingency plans.” One of those districts is Marin County, which has been faced with one of the state’s more challenging water crises because of its hyperlocal supply system. Most of Marin’s water comes from its reservoirs, and about 25% comes from the Russian River watershed via the Sonoma County Water Agency, Detwiler said.

The reservoirs received nearly 11 inches of rain during the storm – an “unheard of” amount so early in the season, she said. But it’s not enough to call the crisis averted, as 43% capacity is still far from the 67% that is normal for this time of year. “Even with this 10½ inches in 24 hours, we didn’t reach our average level of storage,” she said. “If we could have a couple more of these [storms], we could potentially see our reservoir storage back up to average.” But big storms can also present challenges for residents as they move through the state – particularly in areas near recent burn scars, which are becoming more common as wildfires sear through more acres each year. Residents near the recent Alisal fire in Santa Barbara County were ordered to shelter-inplace on Monday amid flash flood warnings as soil and debris – freshly untethered from burnt terrain – slipped and slid into roadways, jamming traffic and creating dangerous hazards. Sunday night, many roads in Sacramento’s downtown area were inches-deep in water, backing up traffic and leaving cars precariously passing through water that reached halfway up their tires. Creeks overflowed near the American River, where many homeless camps are located, prompting officials to open emergency shelters. By Monday morning, See Rains, Page A8

Manchin: IRS bank reporting proposal to be dropped from budget package Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — A plan to beef up tax enforcement by requiring banks to report new data on accounts to the IRS is unlikely to survive in a compromise budget reconciliation package, Sen. Joe Manchin III said Tuesday. The West Virginia Democrat, a key negotiator on the partisan spending and tax package, said during an Economic Club of Washington discussion that President Joe Biden agreed with his assessment that the bank reporting plan would be overly intrusive and unworkable. Recounting a conversation he had with Biden at a breakfast meeting Sunday, Manchin said he told the president: “I don’t know what happened. This cannot happen. It’s screwed up. . . . And so he says, ‘I think Joe’s right on that,’” Manchin said. “So I think that one’s going to be gone.” Manchin’s position would poke another $250 billion roughly revenue hole in the bill’s offset package, on top of some $950 billion that’s already likely out of the picture due to opposition to tax rate increases from Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., another critical swing vote. Top Democrats were trying to wrap up negotiations Tuesday on the reconciliation bill in order to have at least a “framework” in hand they could sell to House progressives so they wouldn’t block a separate Senatepassed infrastructure bill later this week. Democrats want to clear that measure before a temporary extension of surface transportation programs lapses Oct. 31. “There’s not that much more time,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters Tuesday. “We have to have decisions largely today, a little bit into tomorrow, so we can proceed.” Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md., separately told reporters that progressives also want assurances that the Senate will be able to pass legislation that emerges out of the reconciliation framework, without changes. “I think they’re going to need to have a framework and expression that gives them confidence that in fact the framework . . . passed by the House will also be passed by the Senate,” Hoyer said. As part of an effort to pay for the massive package designed to expand the social safety net and tackle climate change, lawmakers proposed cracking down on tax compliance through more extensive reporting by banks. The Treasury Department initially proposed reporting on all accounts with at least $600 flowing through them. That threshold was later raised to $10,000 on top of wages, salaries and federal benefits after a storm of

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., speaks at a news conference outside his office on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Oct. 6. protests from business and banking interests. So under the new structure if an individual is paid a salary of $60,000, for example, and then receives an extra $5,000 in income from another source and spends all of it, that account would meet the “gross flows” threshold and need to be reported to the IRS. But Manchin said even a $10,000 threshold would be too intrusive. And business and banking groups echoed that view in a letter to Biden this week. “We strongly urge the Administration to withdraw this reporting regime and consider how the IRS can use its existing authorities to directly focus on those taxpayers suspected of evading their taxes instead of casting such a wide net,” said the letter, which was signed by groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business, and the National Bankers Association. But doing away with the bank reporting provision would crimp efforts at tax enforcement. The bank reporting rule was expected to raise about $200 billion to $250 billion in new revenue over a decade, according to a recent letter from the Treasury Department to House Ways and Means Chair Richard E. Neal, D-Mass. That’s down from $462 billion in the earlier proposal from Treasury, though pieces of that plan imposing new broker reporting rules on cryptocurrency transactions estimated to raise $28 billion were pulled out and included in the separate bipartisan infrastructure bill that’s being readied for a vote this week. But Neal and other top Democrats were nonetheless relying on the bank reporting proposal to make up for lost revenue to pay for the broader package. “I think that it ought to continue being under discussion,” he said Tuesday. But Neal acknowledged Manchin’s key role in the negotiations and seemed to recognize the possibility they may need to drop the bank reporting proposal. “If Sen. Manchin is going to go over the goal line with us, I think we should be listening to some of what he has to say,” Neal said. being blown over by the storm. Nearby crews and homeowners tended to downed branches in the streets, leaf-clogged street gutters and toppled basketball hoops. But while clean-up crews may not appreciate the damage the most recent storm left behind, its net effect should be beneficial, Swain said.

Students at LA high school allegedly assault girl, circulate video of attack Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — A Hamilton High female student was allegedly sexually assaulted last week in a restroom by at least one male student – a reported attack partially captured on video and circulated to others, law enforcement officials and school district sources said Tuesday. The report is being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department. Officials with the Los Angeles Unified School District declined to discuss specifics of what happened, citing the ongoing investigation and the privacy of students. “An alleged incident occurred on the campus of Hamilton High School last week potentially involving several students in the boys restroom,” the district said in a statement. “The school administration immediately and proactively began coordinating with the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Unified School Police to investigate the issue. Our school crisis team was also activated and students were given an opportunity to speak to counselors about their concerns.” Information about the alleged attack was provided by the LAPD, school district sources with knowledge of the investigation and by a school police union representative. According to sources familiar with the investigation, a parent of the victim reported the alleged attack to school administration and said a video of it was being shared at the campus. “I know that the video got to other schools,” said Gil Gamez, president of the Los Angeles School Police Association. Gamez said he has not seen the video and cannot describe what is on it, but he understands that school administrators were able to identify the alleged victim from the video. He said he doesn’t know if others can be identified based

Exterior of Hamilton High School, where there is a report of a possible sexual assault in the boys bathroom that has prompted an ongoing investigation, Tuesday. on the video. L.A. police Det. Brent Hopkins confirmed that the girl reported last Thursday that she had been sexually assaulted the day before in a boys’ restroom near the basketball gymnasium. He described the girl as an older teen. “There was one female student and a group of males in the bathroom. It is not clear how many were involved, but one had sexual contact with her,” Hopkins said. Gamez and another L.A. Unified source with knowledge of the investigation said the girl told administrators she had been pulled into the restroom. At least part of the incident was recorded by another student. “We have received a copy of that,” Hopkins said. “The school has been very helpful and is working with us.” The alleged victim said she knows some of the boys present, according to Hopkins. Efforts are also being made to get the video off the internet and out of circulation. Hopkins added that no student has been detained at this point and that before taking action detectives are working to determine how many boys were involved in the alleged assault. The incident comes on the heels of a video becoming public of a fight

outside the school last month involving three students. As fists fly, what appears to be a handgun falls to the ground from the waistband of one of the students. Gamez said he’s not aware of any arrests arising from the incident. His understanding is that a student picked up the fallen weapon and ran away. The school district had no immediate comment. A school board majority last year approved budget cuts and new policies for dealing with problems on campus in response to calls by student activists to defund the police. As with other incidents this year, defenders of the school police cited the latest episode as evidence of diminished safety and increased liability resulting from deep cuts to the school police department. “These brazen and outrageous incidents on school grounds are of deep concern,” said Robert Taylor, president of Los Angeles School Police Management Assn. “Having a police officer on campus not only serves as a deterrent, but also creates a calming environment and provides peace of mind for parents.” Gamez said that the alleged bathroom assault happened near the former office of the full-time campus safety officer. He added that there have been 52 calls for

service to Hamilton since the start of the school year. These include routine calls for service as a preventive measure to make sure that students were being well supervised and that no incident would erupt. Under prior practice, each high school had one assigned officer as well as assistance from patrols to help with safe passage of students to and from campus before and after school. Under the new board policy, officers in the smaller force remain off campus and are limited to patrol duties over a wider span of territory. Attrition has reduced the size of the school police force to levels even below what the board authorized. Student and adult activists have asserted that the presence of police on campus is traumatizing to students – especially Black students – and results in students being treated like suspects in what begins to feel more like a prison than school. In place of officers, schools have hired climate coaches and further developed restorativejustice practices, which rely on counseling and on having students take responsibility for their actions that affect others. Such methods hold the best promise for nurturing safe campus environments, proponents say.

Revolutionary comic Sahl dies at 94 Tribune Content Agency Mort Sahl, who revolutionized stand-up comedy in the mid-1950s with his insightful political and social satire, has died at his home in Mill Valley at 94. Sahl, whose on- and off-stage preoccupation with a conspiracy theory on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy slowed his career in the late 1960s, died Tuesday, a family friend overseeing his affairs told The New York Times. At a time when brash comics in suits and tuxedos typically were telling jokes about their wives and mothers-in-law, Sahl shattered the standup stereotype, beginning at the hungry i, a small, brick-walled basement that snow won’t be falling onto bone-dry earth. “It’s a limited silver lining,” Swain said. “I’m optimistic that it takes some of the worst-case drought scenarios for next season off the table, but it by no means ends the drought.” Despite the torrent of hazards it unleashed, the storm was also slated to sweep through Southern California fairly quickly, and sunny and dry skies

Wearing a V-neck sweater and an open-collared shirt – and clutching a rolled-up newspaper – the dark-haired University of Southern California were forecast for Southern California on Tuesday.

graduate with hooded eyes and a wolfish grin fearlessly zeroed in on Cold War-era targets such as President Dwight Eisenhower, Sen. Joseph McCarthy and the notorious House Un-American Activities Committee. His casual, conversational style would influence a generation of comedians, from Lenny Bruce to Dave Chappelle. Sahl, who frequently punctuated his punch lines with a dry, staccato laugh, spoke in a language that a writer for the New Yorker magazine in 1957 described as “a unique cross between a philosophy paper and the argot of modern jazz.” Indeed, Sahl might leaven his monologues with allusions to the Oedipus complex or references to monotheism and

then preface a new target by saying, “Dig this” – or, more often, “Onward!” A 1960 New Yorker profile of Sahl enumerated the “persons, places, objects, institutions, and ideas” he disparaged during a 45-minute monologue, beginning with Charles de Gaulle and followed by Eisenhower, segregation, comedian Shelley Berman, trade unions, the film “Marty,” jazz, New York City, Berkeley, playwright Samuel Beckett, newspapers, coffeehouses, sandals, J.D. Salinger, soiled raincoats – and 62 other subjects. “I don’t tell jokes, I give little lectures,” Sahl would tell his audiences. He’d generally conclude his shows by asking, “Are there any groups I haven’t offended?”

nia, “prospects for any drought improvement are slim,” said NOAA meteorologist Brad Pugh. The northern part of the state may fare better, with Northern California likely to see some improvement in its drought conditions. But California’s weather is often unpredictable, and the pendulum between extreme events seems to be swinging faster.

Experts have said the whiplash between drought and rain – or fire and flood – is becoming more common as the effects of climate change take hold. Sacramento, for example, broke its record for the greatest number of consecutive dry days in history just last week, the National Weather Service said – only to see its wettest-ever 24-hour period arrive by the weekend.

Flood From Page One to prepare for this latest downpour did help the county and the cities avoid bigger problems, the supervisors were told, including keeping high waters from inundating the courthouse and other buildings that have had flooding issues in the past. “The buildings came through with minimal damage,” said Megan Greve, director of General Services. Ed King, the county agriculture commissioner, said there is some concern for walnut growers who were still harvesting when the storm hit, so there were nuts still on the trees and

some on the ground. “There will be some extra costs . . . with drying,” King said. The good news is that the tomato harvest had been completed, and overall, there was very little damage. “Talking to growers (Monday), everyone fared pretty well,” King said. The county Emergency Operations Center was activated during the storm, said Don Ryan, the Office of Emergency Services manager. Benicia also activated

The consensus was that the county was fortunate that the storm came in October and not in February when the ground would not as likely been able to absorb the volume of water as quickly. “Now our ground is saturated,” said Ryan, adding that makes it essential that everyone is prepared for the next storm. “This is an eyeopener for the winter storms,” Supervisor John Vasquez said.

McCullough said. The county’s oldest citizen, Reta Wills, died earlier this year, just shy of her 110th birthday. “It’s not the same as in past years,” Supervisor Erin Hannigan said in reference to the virtual presentation. “There will be no Reta Wills singing this year.” Vasquez introduced the centenarian celebration after his first-grade teacher celebrated her 100th birthday. In the past decade-and-a-half, he’s also celebrated the 100th birthday of his second-grade teacher and a woman who was present when he was born. For the second consecutive year, a commemorative yearbook was made and

will be given, along with other gifts and proclamations, to the centenarians. The supervisors also got a copy of the book, which can be viewed at www.facebook. com/countyofsolano. There viewers can read some secrets to longevity such as “Never go see a doctor,” volunteered by Mildred Healy, and Theodore Mertz’s thought on what it felt like to hit the century mark. “Alive,” was his reply. The supervisors hope the event can return to inperson next year.

facilities with an on-site food facility. Examples of Tier 2 generators include Texas Roadhouse, Paradise Valley Estates and Fairfield High School. “Californians send 11.2 billion pounds of food to landfills each year, some of which was still fresh enough to have been recovered to feed people in need,” according to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. “In 2018, 4.3 million Californians (10.8% of California’s population) didn’t have enough to eat. By May 2020, that number had doubled, surging to 9.2 million Californians (23% of California’s population) who didn’t know where their next meal would come from during the Covid-19 economic crisis,” CalReycle reported, citing a Covid

Impact Survey. The new edible food recovery law goes into effect Jan. 1 for Tier 1 generators and Jan. 1, 2024, for Tier 2 generators. They are mandated to “arrange hannigan to recover the maximum amount of edible food that would otherwise be disposed; contract with, or enter into a written agreement with, food recovery organizations or food recovery services for the collection of edible food for food recovery; and keep records of the amount and location of recovered food and report to the city.” Another part of the law, however, focuses on removing food waste from the landfill, similarly to how paper, plastics and other recy-

clable materials are removed now. Residents will get a separate container in which to put the waste, or they can dispose of it with their green waste. The county reported, as of 2019, that 75% of the waste deposited at each of the two landfills in Solano County comes from outside the county. That tonnage will not count against Solano’s requirements, with the idea that the recyclable material will be taken out of the waste flow before it comes into the county. Both landfills also have methane recovery systems, but the state is looking to eliminate the cause before it ever gets into the dumps.

From Page One in Solano County for almost 25 years. She’s known some of the centenarians over the years but was at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting to represent her friend, Xanthia Warren, who turned 100 on June 9. McCullough started transporting Warren to their sorority meetings five years ago. Now, Warren often tells her she doesn’t feel like going places. “I’m 80 and I’m beginning to understand,” McCullough said. Warren attended President Barack Obama’s first inaugural parade, which honored Tuskegee Airmen. Her late husband, Lt. Col. James Warren, was one of the first Tuskegee Airmen. He died in 2014 at the age of 90. When Xanthia Warren celebrated her 100th birthday, about 60 members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority stood outside her residence to honor her. Warren’s birthday was celebrated by her sorority sisters annually for the past 10 years,

Board From Page One the cities to establish an Edible Food Recovery Program for commercial edible food generators, which are categorized under two tiers. Tier 1 edible food generators include supermarkets and grocery stores with a total facility size greater than square feet, 10,000 and food distributors. Local examples of a Tier 1 generator include Costco, Food Maxx and Producers Dairy Foods. Tier 2 generators include restaurants with a facility size equal to or greater than 5,000 square feet, health facilities with an on-site food facility and 100 or more beds, and local education agency

Vasquez also suggested that the county should consider using some of its American Rescue Plan Act funds to develop a countywide strategic flood plan. Supervisor Mitch Mashburn said the state is looking at a statewide flood plan, so if Solano can put together a comprehensive plan, it could put the county at the front of the line for project funding. Supervisor Monica Brown said something has to be done because the issue has not been addressed for a couple of decades or more. “We can’t keep doing this over and over again,” Brown said, her comments more specific to the localized flooding that occurs in the Cordelia area.

Idaho mall shooter dies in hospital

Biden to nominate Rosenworcel as first female FCC 2 victims he fatally shot are identified chair in US Tribune Content Agency

Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced he will nominate Jessica Rosenworcel, the acting leader of the Federal Communications Commission, to become the first woman to serve as permanent chair of the agency. Biden also announced his intent to nominate Gigi Sohn, a former FCC official, to serve as a commissioner and give Democratic appointees a majority at the agency for the first time in his term. The appointments, which need Senate approval, would break a partisan split on the commission and clear the way for the agency to fulfill Democratic priorities. Those include restoring net neutrality rules that bar unfair practices by broadband providers, bolstering broadband subsidies and making mobile broadband networks more reliable. Rosenworcel, 50, has advocated for spreading broadband service to more people, with an emphasis on connecting schools, and has supported net neutrality rules and limits on broadcast ownership. She would be the first woman to have a regular term as chair; earlier, a woman served as acting chair. Rosenworcel “has worked to promote greater opportunity, accessibility, and affordability in our com-

She has been a commissioner since 2012 with an interruption between terms in 2017. She has a law degree from New York University and an economics degree from Wesleyan University. Sohn is a critic of media consolidation and an advocate of broadband regulation. The White House in its statement called her “one of the nation’s leading public advocates for open, affordable, and democratic communications networks.” Sohn would be the FCC’s first openly LGBTIQ+ commissioner, the White House said. Sohn is a distinguished fellow at the Georgetown Law Institute for Technology Law & Policy. Earlier, she served as counsel to a Democratic FCC chairman.

BOISE, Idaho — The suspect in a Monday afternoon shooting at the Boise Towne Square mall that left two people dead has died at a hospital and was identified Tuesday as Jacob Bergquist, according to the Boise Police Department. According to police, Bergquist fired 18 rounds inside the mall before exiting, where an exchange of gunfire ensued with police on North Milwaukee Street. Four people were injured, including a police officer. The two deceased victims were identified by the Ada County Coroner’s Office on Tuesday as Roberto Padilla Arguelles, 49, of Rupert, and Joseph Acker, 26, of Caldwell. Family members earlier in the day confirmed the death of Acker, a military veteran who identified as a transgender woman. Acker’s social media profile asks that people “(please) call me Jo.” Bergquist, 27, was a Boise resident. Two people who were injured during the shooting inside the mall Monday were identified as a 52-year-old woman and a 23-year-old woman. Both have non-life-threatening injuries, according to a Tuesday news release. A third injured victim, a 68-year-old woman, was shot inside her vehicle on Milwaukee Street but also has non-life-threatening injuries, police said. In the Tuesday release, police said that a Boise officer who responded to the shooting was shot at through the window of his patrol car. “At this time, evi-

He was identified by police as Jacob Bergquist. dence indicates the hat he was wearing was struck by gunfire and shards of glass from the window struck the officer,” the release said. The officer was released from the hospital after treatment on Monday evening. At around 1:50 p.m. Mountain time on Monday, Ada County dispatchers began receiving reports of a white adult male dressed in black who was “in possession of guns” and firing shots inside the mall, the release said. “Evidence indicates the suspect was contacted by a security officer on the first floor of the building near a department store on the west side of the building,” the release said. “The suspect shot the security officer, who died at the scene.” Police said the suspect fired more shots, hitting a second person who died at the scene. Two women were injured after the suspect fired “rounds into the floor,” the release added. A man injured by a fall sustained while evacuating the mall was driven to a hospital in a private vehicle and treated. Police officers arrived at the mall three minutes after the initial reports of gunshots, at around

1:53 p.m., according to the release. The officers saw a suspect who matched the reported description “running from the area” and confronted him “behind a business on the 500 block of N. Milwaukee.” At least one police

officer exchanged fire with the suspect at around 1:54 p.m. Police said the suspect was facing the street, away from the mall. The 68-year-old woman shot inside her vehicle was on North Milwaukee Street. After a preliminary investigation, police said the suspect had multiple guns and ammunition while at the mall. Police found 18 used shell casings inside the building. Police searched a residence on Fry Street in Boise on Tuesday as part of the investigation. According to police, a “multistate effort” is ongoing to gather facts about the suspect, who acted alone, officials said.

As the 2021 World Series gets underway with neither the Giants nor Dodgers, we here at the Ol' Bag present a distraction: your questions about the Giants' too-soon offseason, our ReluctantTM answers and/or best guesses. The Postmaster – Postmistress? Postperson? – is, as always, happy to take some stabs in the dark, but remember, there are no

guarantees when it comes to free-agent and trade possibilities. Good teams zig when others zag, and the moves you don't see coming are sometimes the best. LaMonte Wade Jr., anyone? Thanks for your many excellent topics, we'll try to get to as many as possible, so shorter answers, action packed more than usual: All of the above are the most important questions of the winter for the Giants. Getting Buster

Posey on a longer-term deal is certainly on the team's wish list; his $22 million option assuredly will be picked up within a few days of the World Series. The team needs to fill four rotation spots, and re-signing Kevin Gausman and/ or Alex Wood and Anthony DeSclafani will be priorities, too. If a new labor agreement isn't in place Dec. 2, there is a strong chance there will be a lockout. Player signings would be

suspended during any lockout, so expect teams to try to come to terms with their own players they'd like back and any reasonably priced free-agents before then — big-ticket items might stay on the shelf until there is a new CBA. Just reading between the lines of the post-playoffs news conference, it sounded as if the Giants front office would like to bring back many of the team's own free agents, and the chatter

about Belt was particularly enthusiastic. President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and manager Gabe Kapler were highly complimentary about Bryant, too, but Zaidi was clear that the team believes the 2016 NL MVP will be highly sought after. Translation: They'd like him back but they're not going to break the bank to do it. It's almost a given that the new CBA will include a universal DH. San Francisco, with so

many flexible players, is well-suited to such a development – Darin Ruf and Tommy La Stella are among those who could be good options depending on the opposing starter, and it's not a bad way to get Buster Posey into the lineup when not catching. The Giants want to maximize his rest, but he'd certainly be a frequent DH. Maybe he'd even wind up qualifying for the batting title should he do See Giants, Page B12

FAIRFIELD — Vanden High School's volleyball team opened the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs with a 25-10, 25-15, 25-20 win over visiting Pioneer. Spencer Summerlyn was 18-for-20 serving while Audrey Alexander was perfect on 12 services and Breanna Davis was 16-for-16. Alexander was tops in serve receive by converting 15-of-18. Summerlyn had 13-for-16 for another strong effort.

Alexander was the Vikings' big leader with 15 kills. Elina Rodriguez knocked down 5 and Lauren Whyte had six. Alexander was also the dig leader with 18. She also had two assists. Rodriguez added 16 assists and Jada Cuffie had 12. "We had a change up on our lineup," Vanden head coach Cindy Scolavino said. The girls that were out on the court did extremely well and I'm very proud of them. We are looking forward to our next match in our

gym. We know we are going to be faced with big hitters, but we will be bringing our own big game as well."

Rodriguez golf rolls FAIRFIELD – Nikki Chindavong fired a 66 and Darla May De La Torre ha a 69 as the Rodriguez High School girls golf team finished second in Monday's Sac-Joaquin Section Division III Tournament at Paradise Valley Golf Course. The Mustangs shot a team score of 387 and fin-

ished six strokes back of Christian Brothers (381). Rodriguez will advance as a team to the Masters Tournament next Monday at The Reserve at Spanos Park in Stockton. Erica Villegas finished with a 72 for Rodriguez. Noelle Concepcion had an 87, Tristiane Soto finished with a 93 and Destiny Rose Mendiola had a 94. The top five rounds appear in the team score. Alison Oliveria and Hannah Stouder each shot 73s to lead Christian Brothers.

O K L A H O M A CITY — Something clicked once Otto Porter Jr. subbed in for Andrew Wiggins late in the third quarter. The Warriors had gone more than 33 minutes without leading the winless Thunder for a second, but in the 2:47 until the end-of-quarter buzzer sounded, Golden State pulled ahead by 5 and never looked back, buoyed by two big 3-pointers by Porter. With the 106-96 win, Golden State extended its unbeaten start to the season to four games. Porter’s contributions helped key the comeback, but Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins and Damion Lee kept the Warriors in the game. Curry led Golden State with 23 points, followed by 21 from Wiggins and 20 from Lee. A lackadaisical effort made it look like Golden State could be headed for its first loss. Warriors coach Steve Kerr seemingly tried every lineup combination he could think of, but little was effective in slowing down the

Sharks’ late push falls short to Predators Tribune Content Agency

Shanahan: Playing Trey Lance would mean 49ers are giving up on season Tribune Content Agency Kyle Shanahan on Monday, hours after the 49ers dropped their fourth straight game, announced Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to remain the team's starting quarterback this week against the Chicago Bears. He also indicated handing over the keys to rookie Trey Lance would be a form of "giving up" on the season. "I get all the questions," Shanahan said on a conference call with reporters. "But it's way too early to start thinking about just getting guys experience and giving up the year that way. I'm trying to do what's best for our team – and also what's best for those players. Not just Trey but other guys. Getting experience just to get it isn't always beneficial." That is one of the most telling

statements Shanahan has made about the quarterback situation this year. He implied he was unlikely to make Lance the starter over a healthy Garoppolo just to get him experience until the 49ers were to be eliminated from postseason contention. "When you're playing people just to get them experience, you start to do that when you're completely eliminated from playoffs," he said. "If you're doing it for other reasons, then you do that when you feel a person's ready. Our record's 2-4 and we lost four in a row, so I get why I'm getting questions like that, but we're 2-4. You get two games in a row and you're right back to .500 and you got a chance." It comes on the heels of another uninspiring performance from Garoppolo on Sunday night in which he turned the ball over three times while running an offense that

netted just two first downs over seven scoreless possessions in the middle of the game. Shanahan's offense went 1-of-11 on third down. Indianapolis won, 30-18, on the back of San Francisco's poor offensive showing and the 49ers' defense giving up big plays and three long pass interference penalties leading to Colts touchdowns. "We didn't go into that game thinking that Jimmy was one bad game away from losing his job or anything like that," Shanahan said. "Jimmy didn't play as good as he could, which he knows that. I know that. . . . We know Trey is the future here and we're trying to get do what's best for him and for our team." The 49ers are 5-6 in Garoppolo's last 11 starts dating back to last season since the Super Bowl. He See QBs, Page B2

Thunder or warming up the Warriors until Porter’s infusion late in the third. Curry shook his head as he waited to sub in late in the first half. Aleksej Pokusevski had just soared past a lackadaisical Warriors defense for an easy dunk that put the Thunder up, 48-33, what amounted to be their largest lead of the game. Gary Payton II was the first player off the bench for the second straight game, but this time he spelled Curry midway through the first quarter, instead of Jordan Poole. Soon after Chris Chiozza saw his first meaningful minutes of the season. Kerr tried to spark a run at the end of the first half with a lineup that featured 6-foot-7 Wiggins as its tallest player. But this was no “death lineup.” Oklahoma City’s ninepoint lead only grew to 11 with Wiggins, Curry, Andre Iguodala, Damion Lee and Draymond Green on the floor for the final 3:29 of the half. Oklahoma City lost its first three games.

The San Jose Sharks on Tuesday were unable to finish their first long road trip of the season on a positive note. Playing their fifth game in eight days, the Sharks were down a goal after the first 80 seconds of the opening period and were forced to chase the game from there in a 3-1 loss to the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena. Timo Meier scored his fourth goal of the season at the 11:54 mark of the third period to cut the Predators’ lead to one. But the Sharks were unable to get a second goal against Predators goalie Juuse Saros, who had 28 saves to improve to 5-2-1 in eight career games against San Jose. Six of Saros’ saves came on the penalty kill, as the Sharks are now 1-for-11 on the

man advantage over the last four games after they were 4-for-9 in their first two. Filip Forsberg also scored for Nashville on goalie James Reimer as the Sharks finished the five-game road trip with a 3-2-0 record. San Jose started the trip with a regulation-time win over Montreal last Tuesday, followed by back-to-back victories over Ottawa and Toronto on Thursday and Friday, respectively,beforelosing to Boston on Sunday. The Sharks were down 1-0 early in the first period. With Nick Bonino serving a tripping penalty, Predators center Matt Duchene came through the neutral zone with speed, took a pass from Roman Josi, and fired a shot past Reimer at the 1:20 mark for his second goal of the season.

SANTA CLARA — It’s been a bad, bad six games for San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers are suddenly 2-4 to start 2021, losers of four straight, without the excuses of injuries they could credibly use last year, or a lack of continuity, or a new coach growing on the job. No, San Francisco is in the fifth season of Shanahan’s tenure. He and his team came in with high expectations – perhaps expectations of getting back to a Super Bowl or at least getting into the playoffs – and now they’re left searching for answers following a dismal 30-18 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, who came to Levi’s Stadium sporting a 2-4 record. Does Shanahan deserve scrutiny? “Yeah, you lose four games in a row, I’m the head coach of this team. I expect it and I deserve it,” Shanahan said after Sunday night’s rain-soaked game in front of a national audience on NBC. Poor choices leave 49ers in a hole There have been a host of decisions gone awry for Shanahan and general manager John Lynch that have gotten them to this point. Some of it is bad circumstance or a product of simple hindsight. But much of it is their own doing. Namely, their quarterback situation is season-defining contradiction, which is bleeding into their ability to win games. Shanahan has said Jimmy Garoppolo gives the team its best chance to win. Fair enough. But it comes on the heels of investing three first-round draft picks, and a 2022 third-rounder, in Trey Lance to be Garoppolo’s replacement. So Shanahan’s rationale is Lance is good enough to replace Garoppolo, eventually, just

Tribune Content Agency SAN JOSE — Domestic violence restraining orders previously filed against one another by suspended Sharks forward Evander Kane and his estranged wife, Anna, have been withdrawn and the pair are moving forward with other issues related to their pending divorce, according to court documents. In a brief filed Oct. 13 in Santa Clara County Superior Court, the parties agreed to dismiss the orders and maintain a “respectful distance from one

another whenever possible and shall minimize their situations of closer physical proximity.” They also agreed to communicate exclusively through email on matters only concerning their children, unless it’s an emergency. A hearing scheduled for Tuesday was vacated. Dennis J. Luca, Anna Kane’s attorney, said the parties are now working with a private mediator to settle other issues such as custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, and attorney fees. Evander Kane denied abusing his wife.

49ers’ 2-4 start squarely on Shanahan’s shoulders Chris Biderman

analysis not yet. All the while Lance has spent the season as the backup quarterback – which means not getting much-needed practice reps to develop – while Garoppolo’s sputtering on the field has played a significant role in the team’s losing. And when Lance did play, Shanahan clearly didn’t have enough trust in him to run a normal version of the offense. That was evident by the reliance on Lance’s legs. He led the team with 16 carries (nine designed runs, seven scrambles) for 89 yards in his lone start in Arizona, which came because of Garoppolo’s calf injury. Lance came out of the game with a sprained knee, which prevented him from practicing or working out last week and during the bye, or even being available Sunday night while Garoppolo was returning from his calf injury, which he said he continued to feel during the Colts game. “I definitely felt it at times. But it sort of is what it is,” Garoppolo said of his calf. “I think all the guys out there, we’re all playing with something right now.” Having Lance would at least have been an option for Shanahan while the offense went 1-of-11 on third down. But he was hurt. So Shanahan’s reluctance to give Lance practice reps led to Lance’s run-centric game plan, which would logically lend to a quarterback needing some time in the training room given the hits he was subject to in Arizona. The game plan wasn’t to let running backs carry the load and help Lance; it was to make Lance the centerpiece of the running game. That’s an odd way to integrate the future face of the franchise who will have to win with his right arm. ing toward be part of the solution.

returned Sunday night from a calf injury he suffered Oct. 3 against the Seahawks. He leads the NFL in committing turnover worthy plays on 6.1% of his drop backs, according to Pro Football Focus. The scouting service also says Garoppolo has 156 yards on throws going 20 yards or more beyond the line of scrimmage, ranking 32nd among quarterbacks responsible for at least 20% of their team's passes. Lance is also coming off an injury. He was unavailable at practice last week because of a left knee sprain suffered before the bye in his first career start in Arizona Oct. 10. Shanahan said he's "on pace" to return to practice Wednesday, but would likely do so in limited fashion. So it would seem unlikely Lance would be ready to replace Garoppolo in Chicago, anyway. But Shanahan's words speak to a broader point about the rest of the season beyond the Bears game. He clearly doesn't have faith in the quarterback he invested three firstround picks to draft last spring. And he remains staunch in his unwillingness to give Lance more reps during practice because those will go to the starting quarterback in order to get ready for the upcoming game. Shanahan on Monday was asked if he thought about giving Lance more practice time once his knee is healed. "I haven't decided that yet. I got to see where he is," he said. "But odds are, when it comes to the game plan and stuff, and what we're doing, you're not just going to start rotating quarterbacks because it's not an open competition right now." Shanahan has avoided the "open competition" label since training camp began. But that appears to be window dressing for the fact he doesn't believe Lance is ready. There won't be opportunities for Lance to get on the practice field until Shanahan changes his mind or Garoppolo gets hurt.

Steelers’ Tomlin crushes college job whispers Tribune Content Agency PITTSBURGH — It’s not exactly newsworthy that Mike Tomlin spiked speculation about him leaving the Steelers for another coaching job. He did the same just two years ago, when the rumor mill got churning that Washington owner Dan Snyder had interest in Tomlin after firing Jay Gruden five weeks into the 2019 season. On that October Tuesday, Tomlin firmly but calmly stated he was not listening to any of that outside noise. “I’m not worried about that, to be quite honest with you. . . . Guys, I’m the head coach of a 1-4 football team that’s going

on the road to play a Hall of Fame-caliber quarterback with my third quarterback,” Tomlin said Oct. 8, 2019. “You think I’m worried about anything this week other than that?” About the only thing that was the same this Tuesday, when Tomlin was asked about prominent alumni linking his name to openings at LSU and USC, was that it was the final exchange of his weekly news conference. If Tomlin didn’t quite say “no” to a question about another NFL vacancy, he torched the idea that he’d ever leave the Steelers for the college level. And by the time he was done with his 38-second answer, he actually sounded offended that

it was even posed to him in that setting. “Hey guys, I don’t have time for that speculation,” Tomlin began, mildly enough. Then, he hit the hole like Najee Harris. “I mean, that’s a joke to me. I’ve got one of the best jobs in all of professional sport. Why would I have any interest in coaching college football? That’ll be the last time I address it. And not only today, but moving forward. Never say never, but, never. OK? Anybody else got any questions about any college jobs? There’s not a booster with a big enough blank check.” As is custom, a Steelers spokesperson prompted reporters for any further ques-

tions, doubtful as that seemed. But then Tomlin broke out another stiff-arm. “Thank you,” he said, tonguein-cheek. And still, he wasn’t quite ready to leave the podium just yet. “Anybody asking Sean Payton about that?” Tomlin sneered. “Anybody asking Andy Reid about stuff like that?” It’s likely not a coincidence that Tomlin mentioned two men whose careers have been so similar. Both Payton and Reid have 15-plus years in the head coaching game. Both have won one Super Bowl, like Tomlin. But neither have been posited as candidates during this latest hiring cycle for two power pro-

grams in the SEC and Pac-12. Tomlin even considering those opportunities was first bandied about last week by Doug Whaley, who worked in the Steelers front office from 2000-10, on the 93.7 The Fan morning show. Whaley last worked for an NFL team in 2017, but he was fired by the Bills after four seasons as their general manager. Tomlin does have two sons, Dino and Mason, currently playing college ball at Maryland and Columbia, respectively. But he also has a daughter who’s still in high school, and he hasn’t been in the college ranks since 2000 when he was defensive backs coach at Cincinnati.

Bucs fan gave back Brady’s milestone ball Tribune Content Agency

Hilary Knight (21) of the United States in action against Canada in the 2021 IIHF Women’s World Championship

gold medal game played at WinSport Arena in Calgary, Canada, Aug. 21.

Hilary Knight not ready to say good night to her hockey career Tribune Content Agency She was once the youngest, but at age 32, Hilary Knight, a veteran of three Olympic teams, is now the oldest player on the U.S. women’s ice hockey national team roster. Still, Knight, who grew up in California and went to Choate prep in Wallingford, Conn., is not exactly thinking in terms of her last Olympic Games or retiring or anything like that just yet. “Who knows?” Knight said. “I don’t know. We’ll see. We got to that world stage [in 2018]. Winning the last Olympics was outstanding, incredible. You kind of feed off that and you want to go do it again.” The U.S. women won the Olympic gold medal in 2018 in South Korea, beating their archrivals, the Canadians, 3-2 in a shootout after finishing second to Canada in 2014 and 2010. They will play Canada on Monday at the XL Center (7 p.m.) as part of the “My Why” Tour, as a pre-Olympic buildup. The 2022 Games will take place Feb. 4-20 in Beijing.

Team USA lost to Canada on Friday night in the first game of the tour in Allentown, Pa., 3-1. This summer, Knight became the leader in career goals at the women’s world championships when she scored her 45th goal, against Russia. The U.S. lost to Canada 3-2 in overtime in the final. Knight is just happy to be back together with the national team after the pandemic shut down the sport for a while. She was also sidelined 10 weeks in the winter after foot surgery. And she’s happy to be back in Connecticut, where she has fond memories of Choate, from which she graduated in 2007. “I have to give that experience so much credit for who I am as a person, for preparing me to succeed,” she said. She also played for the Polar Bears, an elite girls hockey team in Connecticut. Knight went on to play at the University of Wisconsin, where she helped the Badgers go to the

Frozen Four four times and win two NCAA titles. In 2010, she took a year off from college to play in the Olympics, and at age 20, she was the youngest member of the U.S. team. In 2018, the Americans finally were able to hold off the Canadians on the biggest stage and win their first gold medal since the U.S. won the inaugural Olympic women’s ice hockey competition in 1998, “When Maddie [Rooney] stopped the puck that was inching its way closer to the goal line on that last shootout attempt was when it sunk in that we were going to win,” Knight said. “But it wasn’t until we kind of got back [to the U.S.] that it was like, ‘Oh. We won.’ We forget – we’re over there, it was just us. Our families get to come over, so there’s a little bit bigger circle, but then there’s a bigger circle of everyone who comes up to you when you’re doing random things in your life, and they’re like, ‘I stayed up till 2 a.m., 3 a.m., watching you guys.’ ”

TAMPA, Fla. — Tom Brady threw his 600th touchdown pass Sunday. Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan Byron Kennedy might have thrown away $500,000 at the same game. Kennedy was sitting in the front row behind the end zone at Raymond James Stadium when receiver Mike Evans caught the pass that made Brady the only NFL quarterback to reach that milestone. Evans spotted Kennedy wearing his No. 13 jersey and gifted him the ball. Neither of them realized the significance of the ball at the time. The Buccaneers knew, though, and sent a team official to try to get the ball back for Brady. It has been estimated that Kennedy could have auctioned off the ball for at least $500,000. Instead, the internal medicine resident gave it back out of the kindness of his heart. “What am I gonna do, say no to Tom Brady?” Kennedy told the Tampa Bay Times. What a nice gesture. Surely, Brady – whose estimated worth is $250 million and is married to someone with an estimated worth higher

than that – wouldn’t mock Kennedy about it on national TV, would he? “Byron realized he lost all his leverage once he gave the ball away,” Brady joked on Peyton and Eli Manning’s “Monday Night Football” simulcast the next night. “He should have held it to get as much leverage as possible.” Brady did mention that he’s giving Kennedy a bitcoin (currently worth more than $62,000) through FTX, a cryptocurrency firm in which he and his wife, Gisele Bündchen, have an equity stake. Kennedy will also receive two autographed jerseys and a helmet from Brady, an autographed jersey and game-worn cleats from Evans and season tickets through the end of the 2022 season and $1,000 credit toward the team store from the Buccaneers. All cool stuff that Kennedy couldn’t have dreamed he’d be getting when he showed up to watch the Bucs play the Chicago Bears that day. Still not close to being worth half a million dollars. Offered a hypothetical chance by NFL Network to renegotiate the deal, the apparently super cool and laid-back Kennedy declined.

Yankees have work to do on team rotation (again) Tribune Content Agency The Yankees went into the 2021 season with a rotation of Gerrit Cole and a lot of questions. They signed two-time Cy Young Corey Kluber off two seasons cut short by injuries. They traded for Jameson Taillon, who was coming back from his second Tommy John surgery. Luis Severino hadn’t pitched a full season since 2018 and was also coming back from Tommy John. Domingo German had not been around the team since Sept. 19, 2019 serving a domestic violence suspension that cost him the end of that season and all of the coronavirus-abbreviated 2020 season. And Jordan Montgomery was also coming off an inconsistent comeback from Tommy John. In 2021, the Yankees got solid

Gerrit Cole (45) of the Yankees hands the ball to manager Aaron Boone (17) after being removed in the sixth inning against the Indians at Yankee Stadium, Sept. 19. starts from Montgomery and a surprise in Nestor Cortes Jr., who was their most consistent starter in the second half. Still, going into 2022, the Yankees have more questions about their rotation than answers, yet again. Sure, the Yankees have an

idea that they have an ace in Cole, but his inconsistency down the stretch – and after MLB cracked down on pitchers using illegal sticky substances – has to be fixed. Taillon will have offseason surgery to repair the partially torn tendon in his right ankle, which forced him to leave a start in the second inning of a game in September. Taillon is expected to be out five months, but will be ready in time for Opening Day. That, however, would be without any setbacks at all, so the Yankees have to be a little concerned about his comeback timeline. They also have to be at least a little concerned about Severino and German, who were both limited by injuries in 2021. German, coming off missing an entire year of pitching to big leaguers because of the suspension, pitched 98.1 innings

for the Yankees (102.1 in minor league appearances) because of a shoulder issue that lingered much longer than expected. Severino, who was expected back from March 2020 Tommy John surgery in mid-summer, was set back by a hamstring injury and then shoulder tightness. He did not make his season debut until Sept. 21. It’s been clear for a few years, particularly with the Yankees, that a team is going to need about 10 starters to get through a season and compete for a championship. So the Yankees have some work to do this winter to solidify that rotation. That work can come from Luis Gil, Clarke Schmidt and Deivi Garcia, who are grinding this winter to get better and force their way into consideration at spring training. Gil had a spectacular run to make his major league debut

this year, but also showed he’s still learning and growing. After a taste of the big leagues, he should be driven to get back there. Schmidt lost most of his season to the elbow strain he suffered the first day of throwing in spring training. His confidence, however, was not affected and he suggested after rehab starts he would be ready to pitch in the big leagues. He needs to show it. Garcia has to rediscover himself. The Yankees spent a lot of time last year – after he had a solid major league rookie season – and early this year talking about changing his delivery to be less “rotational.” It didn’t go well. Garcia had a disastrous season in the minors and needs to figure out a delivery that works for him.

The Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’ album returns to top of charts Tribune Content Agency More than five decades after its initial release, The Beatles’ final studio album has made a major comeback to the music charts. “Let It Be,” which became No. 1 on the Billboard 200 upon its May 1970 release, has returned to the coveted chart (at No. 5) after a deluxe special edition reissue went on sale Oct. 15. The “50th Anniversary Edition” of the acclaimed album – yielding the singles “Get Back,” “The Long and Winding Road” and the iconic title track – also hit the top spot on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. According to Billboard’s MRC Data, the

12-track reissue earned 55,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 21. The Fab Four’s 12th studio album spent four weeks atop the Billboard 200 (from June 13 to July 4, 1970-dated charts) and is one of a record 19 No. 1 albums for the groundbreaking English rock band. Produced by Phil Spector, “Let It Be” last ranked on the Billboard 200 in 2010, when it reached at No. 120. The reissue arrives on the heels of triple Oscar winning filmmaker Peter Jackson’s upcoming documentary series “The Beatles: Get Back,” set to premiere Nov. 25, 26 and 27 exclusively on Disney+.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s pressure to show your work before you know if it’s ready. The urgency here is manufactured. Honor your feelings on the matter. Know why you’re doing a thing before you do it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s said that nothing is inherently boring except the mind that would deem it so. However, you have abundant inner resources and still, if you’re being honest, the scene fails to stimulate their usage. An exit will remedy all. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your quick reflexes and talent for catching and handling problems in their infancy state will make people dependent on you. To avoid the constant pressure of adapting to life’s exigencies, don’t be so readily available. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Others might mistake your humble reserve for shyness, but in fact you do not lack confidence at all.

want to give up, as they are my children. — Lost Dad in Massachusetts Dear Lost Dad: Your sons are not taking any responsibility for their actions. Instead of thanking you for calling the police, and hopefully helping them clean up their act, they are blaming you for the night spent in jail. It was your son who committed the assault, not you. The anger they feel might be old anger they felt toward you for the divorce or other things when they were young. But now that they are adults, they must take responsibility for their actions. They are acting very entitled. As for your daughter, just continue to love and appreciate her. Hopefully, your son will get into treatment for his drinking, and once he is sober, he will realize that what you did was for his own good. Continue to tell both sons how much you love them, even if they push you away. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

generate tricks. Given that subtle(!) hint, in this deal, how should South play in six spades? West leads the heart jack. Declarer ruffs and draws trumps in three rounds, East discarding a heart. North had an uncomfortable bid over West’s pre-emptive raise to four hearts, but five clubs, despite only 6 high-card points, could hardly be criticized. (His alternative, if unwilling to pass, was four no-trump, showing length in both minors. But that would be preferable with 5-5.) Then South bid what he thought he could make. At first glance, it looks as though declarer should cash the two top clubs. If the queen drops, he is home with an overtrick. If she doesn’t, he needs to find East with a royal singleton or doubleton in diamonds. However, there is a much better line. At trick five, lead the club 10 and put on dummy’s jack.

Newsom glosses Commuter travel, time travel ... a crossroads to be sure over state’s sluggish economic recovery

s he fended off a campaign to recall him this year, Gov. Gavin Newsom adopted the slogan “California Comeback” to describe what he said was a robust recovery from the severe recession triggered by Covid-19 shutdowns. Ever since, as the federal government released its monthly reports on employment and unemployment, Newsom – or, more likely, his staff – would cherry-pick the data to buttress his claim of a massive surge of economic activity. He did it again last week as job numbers for September were released, saying, “Our economic recovery continues to make promisDan Walters ing progress, with 812,000 new jobs this year and regaining over 63% of those jobs we lost to the pandemic. As we continue averaging record job creation, our work is more important than ever to get more Californians back on the job and support those hardest hit by the pandemic.” What he didn’t say was that California is still more than a million jobs short of regaining the 2-plus million jobs that were erased during the recession and that our unemployment rate of 7.5% is tied with Nevada’s for the highest in the nation. It’s 50% higher than the national rate of 4.8% and nearly four times as high as the 2% rate in Nebraska, the nation’s lowest. Arch-rival Texas had a 5.6% rate in September. Data from the state Employment Development Department show the dramatic change in the job picture since March 2020, just before the pandemic changed everything. In that month, the state counted 19.5 million Californians in the labor force with 18.8 million of them working and unemployment at a record-low 3.9%. In September,the state’s labor force was just 19 million, only 17.6 million were employed and the jobless rate was 7.5%. The state’s overall population is virtually unchanged, but a half-million fewer Californians count themselves as workers and 1.2 million fewer are working. Morever, California now accounts for a whopping 31% of the nation’s new unemployment claims, with more than 80,000 residents filing claims for the week ending Oct. 16, the federal data report revealed. Simply put, the nation as a whole has snapped back from the Covid-19 recession and other states are seeing record low unemployment rates, but recovery has been, to put it mildly, sluggish in California. Michael Bernick, a former director of the state Employment Development Department and an attorney at Duane Morris,told CalMatters’ Emily Hoeven: “The explanations previously given for California lagging behind the national economy are no longer convincing. California’s Covid rates are below other states, schools have reopened and child care is coming back. The small-business economy in California remains decimated, limiting job openings. However, employers who do have job openings . . . report few applicants.” We may be seeing not just a slow recovery from recession but a fundamental and worrisome economic dilemma of low labor force participation, high unemployment and jobs going unfilled for a lack of workers. If so, one would think that the governor would be defining it as a crisis that needs to be addressed. Instead, Newsom continues to paint the misleading picture of a vigorous recovery. One might understand his pollyannaish posture during the recall campaign, but he easily won last month’s election. Continuing to ignore California’s employment dilemma serves neither him nor the state well. Newsom – or the Legislature if he’s unwilling – should commission a vigorous investigation into why California’s recovery is lagging and what needs to be done to match legions of unemployed or underemployed California with the jobs that are going unfilled.

Any time I meet with veterans, I travel back into my family’s history and remember those who served, including my uncle, who was in the submarine service during the Korean War and spent time at Mare Island. My dad also served in the Navy during Korea, on the USS Iowa, and the family cares for a number of gravesites for those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and for others who served and are since gone. One of those was my brother-in-law, Gary Case, who served his time in the Coast Guard. Even went nose-to-nose – or is that bow-to-bow – with a Soviet battleship over a fishing dispute in American waters near Alaska. He died of lung cancer about a decade ago, so spending a little time travel remembering him in recent weeks brought back a lot of smiles, and a close-to-home reminder to thank him and all the veterans for their service to this country.

Both parties are viewed more negatively than positively: Republicans have a net unfavorable rating of four points, compared with 11 points for Democrats. Asked to choose between two statements, 50% said the fall of Afghanistan was because of Biden’s incompetence, and 41% said there was no way for the withdrawal to go smoothly given the plan Biden inherited from Trump. Trump remains the elephant in the room. Democratic operatives predict that the ex-president will continue to be toxic, especially as he keeps the door open to a 2024 run, and they hope that gun control, health care, climate change and voting rights will keep most suburban voters in the Democratic fold. Privately, many Republican leaders still blame Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud for depressing turnout and costing them both U.S. Senate seats in Georgia’s January runoffs. Scott, who voted to reject Pennsylvania’s electors on Jan. 6, recalled that Democrats spent millions on ads linking him to Trump when he challenged Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson in 2018, but that he narrowly won anyway. “You have to go convince people that it’s an election about you,” he said. “That’s what I had to do. And then you’ve got to give people a reason to vote for you.” Easier said than done. Next week’s election in Virginia will show whether education might help Republicans do just that.

letter to the editor

Don’t let Fairfield Forward 2050 steamroll Suisun agriculture After attending the Fairfield Forward 2050 Workshop on Oct. 16, and the General Plan Advisory Committee meeting on Oct. 21, it is now abundantly clear that there is a major deficiency in the three development alternatives to be considered by Fairfield Planning Commission and City Council as the basis for selecting a preferred alternative for evaluation under CEQA. Irrespective of whether the three current alternatives include some desirable elements that could be incorporated into a preferred alternative, all three alternatives include

major urban expansion onto agricultural land in Suisun Valley. This is in conflict with the city’s former urban growth boundary, and a significant departure from past city policy to protect Suisun Valley and support local commercial agriculture. Further – in doing so, these alternatives are inconsistent with orderly growth principles and policies in the 2008 Solano County General Plan. A fourth alternative is needed to show a proposed land use pattern that meets future 2050 needs while excluding residential, industrial or commercial development on agricultural land in Suisun Valley. Such a plan could include desirable elements from the other alternatives, but would be consistent with the FF2050 Guiding Principle of “limited outward expansion” and “preserve agricultural

surroundings.” I urge the city to defer formulation and selection of a preferred alternative until a fourth alternative is developed to show what is possible without encroachment on agricultural land in Suisun Valley. Such a plan is necessary to provide the public, the Planning Commission and City Council with a vision of what is possible without heading down the slippery slope that leads to the destruction of local agriculture. If you care about preserving local Suisun Valley agriculture, show up Wednesday at the Planning Commission meeting and Tuesday at the City Council meeting and ask the city to add a fourth alternative to the General Plan update process.

With Vicky Krieps on ascent, where to find her recent work K atie Walsh

Tribune News Service

uxembourgian star Vicky Krieps grabbed America by the throat with her stunning breakout performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s romantic psychological fashion thriller “Phantom Thread” back in 2017. As the intrepid Alma, she held her own against a formidable Daniel Day-Lewis, and made us collectively rethink the mushroom omelet as the secret to a happy partnership (of sorts). 2021 has also been a banner year for Krieps, with her co-starring turn in M. Night Shyamalan’s horror flick “Old” and in the English-language debut film of French director Mia HansenLove, “Bergman Island.” “Bergman Island” hit theaters Oct. 15 and is now available for a premium VOD rental price on all digital platforms ($6.99). Krieps stars as Chris, a writer and filmmaker who travels to Faro Island in Sweden with her filmmaker husband Tony (Tim Roth), where the legendary Ingmar Bergman made his home. This thoughtful exploration of partnership, identity, creativity, motherhood, and storytelling is classic Hansen-Love: an absolute joy to watch, as deeper themes and existential questions emerge from just below the surface. Much of the ease and joyfulness of “Bergman Island” is thanks to Krieps, in a preternaturally present and lived-in performance as the independent and free-spirited Chris. Her explorations through the beautiful Faro Island and the places where Bergman lived and worked could perhaps inspire, or quench, feelings of wanderlust in the viewer. Throughout the film Chris describes to Tony a

Looking for a

script she’s writing, and these cinematic fantasy sequences starring Mia Wasikowska and Anders Danielsen Lie are incredibly sexy, romantic and poignant, but also allow Hansen-Love to collapse the layers of storytelling into itself, crafting an incredibly rich meta-textual experiment in storytelling. “Bergman Island” is not to be missed, so do seek it out. It’s available for a $6.99 rental wherever you rent your movies online. For more Krieps, also indeed check out “Old,” a very entertaining and well-crafted horror film that uses an outlandish concept (“the beach that makes you old”) to offer a truly touching comment on living in the present moment, however long that might be. Krieps is fantastic opposite Gael Garcia Bernal, and of course, there’s a twist. “Old” is on all streaming platforms for $5.99. “Phantom Thread” is also incredibly rewatchable, from Krieps and Day-Lewis sparring in the high-stakes world of custom couture, to Lesley Manville’s crisp supporting turn. The costumes, the score by Jonny Greenwood and the breakfasts alone make this film a stonecold classic. “Phantom Thread” is available on all platforms for $3.99 For another Krieps turn, the 2020 film “The Last Vermeer” co-starring Guy Pearce and Claes Bang depicts the incredible true-life World War II tale about art forgeries in the Netherlands used to swindle Nazi art collectors. While it’s not as spectacular as some of the other Krieps selections, it’s an interesting watch, especially for its incredible true origins. “The Last Vermeer” is on Starz, Direct TV and Spectrum on Demand or available to purchase for $12.99 on all streaming platforms.

Dressing your dog for Halloween? A parade veteran offers pointers The Washington Post By now, kids across the United States are deciding one of the most important questions of the year: what to wear for Halloween. In New York City, hundreds of kids and adults are figuring out how to dress their dogs for the 31st annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade in New York City. This year the parade will take place Saturday in-person after 2020’s went online due to the coronavirus pandemic. Jennifer-Jo Moyer has participated for years. The retired elementary school teacher also runs PupScouts, an organization that raises money for dog charities. This year, Moyer is looking forward to hosting the parade, which is also a competition for best costumes. She’ll dress one of her four toy poodles, 11-year-old Sassy, and carry her in a sling so the dog doesn’t get too tired from all the activity. Her other dogs are Meteor and Beanie (both age 14), and FiFiGiGi (13). “Sassy told me she wanted to be a mini-dragon, like in (the TV show) ‘Game of Thrones,’ so I’m going to go in a medieval, Renaissance-looking (dress) to complement her,” says Moyer. Moyer has had lots of favorite costumes from past parades. For instance, one year she dressed Meteor and FiFiGiGi as Snoopy/the Red Baron and Woodstock from the Peanuts comic and pulled them in a wooden biplane that

her husband had built. “FiFiGiGi was all in yellow, and Meteor had a leather hat and goggles,” she says. Another favorite was the Chihuahuas that dressed as “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” after a Beatles album by the same name. On the album cover, the four band members are dressed in brightly colored military uniforms like those of the early 20th century. Unfortunately, says Moyer, “they arrived after the judging was over, but that was pretty amazing.” Moyer has tips for dressing your pet pooch. To start, “try out the pieces in advance, so you know what has to change before you get there,” she says.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Backward logic is still logic. Your mind is working on multiple levels at once, and your ideas may not braid together into conventional or immediate sense, and yet there’s something to it. Trust yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes, the inventor is the last one to know exactly what’s been created. Being too close to the work causes a loss of perspective. You’ll be in such a position. It’s too early to comment on what you’ve made. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll classify and label an experience in hopes of managing the full intensity of feeling it came with. Not everything will fit into a neat definition. At some point, it will be easier, and weirdly wonderful, to accept the mess. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re afraid to take a chance, and your fear is part of what makes it a risk worth taking. This is the cost of a thrilling, full life. So have faith. Whatever happens, you can work with it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The activity you love will transport you to a zone of freedom. You will return to the placeless place in your mind where the past and the future are gathered and the dance is happening now in com-

Daily Cryptoquotes

“That’s a big thing people don’t do. Then they get to the parade and realize their dog can’t wear a hat or won’t walk in a costume or they forgot to leave a pee hole.” Materials can vary, depending on what your dog can handle. “One year there was a pug dressed as (“Gone With the Wind” character) Scarlett O’Hara in a green velvet curtain, and she was propped on a stand,” Moyer says. “I wouldn’t have thought heavy velvet would work with a dog, but there she was.” Having a float or something else for your dog to ride in is important, she says. It keeps smaller dogs from getting underneath people’s feet. And it ensures that any dog can get around no matter how stiff or awkward their costume might be. “It also makes a bigger impression,” she says. Dog-andkid combo costumes – your dog is a bus, say, and you are a bus stop – “are always going to win any contest.” You also need to keep your dog safe. “Watch out for chocolate on the ground!” Moyer cautions. (Chocolate is bad for dogs’ hearts.) And keep your pet comfortable. “If it’s hot out, bring water. If it’s cold out, bring a sweater. Sassy might have to wear a T-shirt under her dragon costume.” Most important, says Moyer, is for you and your dog to have fun. “Be aware of your dog, and if they’re not feeling it, don’t force them. That may be heartbreaking for the amount of work you put into the costume. But don’t make them stay because you want to.”

ALWAYS ASSUME A BAD BREAK G.K. Chesterton wrote, “A good novel tells us the truth about its hero, but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.” A good trump split often makes life easy for the deal’s hero, the declarer; but a bad split tells us the truth about the declarer’s skill level. In today’s deal, how should South

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder play in four spades? West leads the club ace, under which East plays the queen, showing the jack as well. (Here, he could not have a singleton.) West continues with the club king and another club. South’s two-club opening was strong, artificial and forcing. North’s three-club rebid was the double negative showing a very bad hand. Regardless, South wasn’t going to stay out of game with one of the best hands he had ever held. “I did warn you, partner,” said the dummy as he tabled his cards. After ruffing the third club, the declarer could have entered the dummy and taken a trump finesse, but he saw that there was little advantage in this play. It would be of benefit only if East had king-doubleton. A greater risk was a bad trump break. South led the spade queen from his hand at trick four. If East had won with his king and played his last club, declarer would have ruffed with dummy’s spade eight. Therefore, East ducked. But now South entered the dummy with a heart to the jack and took a trump finesse. When it won, he cashed the spade ace. The king didn’t drop, but declarer claimed, stating that he would play his red-suit winners until East opted to ruff. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Giants: Mailbag From Page B1

Tom Pennington/Getty Images/TNS/File2020

Jake Turner (10) of the Los Angeles Dodgers and his wife Kourtney Pogue, hold the Commissioners Trophy after the team’s 3-1 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays in Game Six to win the 2020 MLB World Series at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Oct. 27, 2020.

The parade that never was: Lament of the 2020 Dodgers Tribune Content Agency On the Thursday after the AllStar game, the Greyhound Bar in Highland Park was throwing a party. The pandemic had deprived Los Angeles of the communal joy of celebrating the 2020 World Series championship, so the bar advertised a watch party to watch the clinching game: “Hug. Scream. Cry. Pound champagne. Count the outs. This time, as a family.” On the day before the All-Star game, I asked Justin Turner what he thought about that. “That’s pretty cool,” he said. “That’s a great idea.” That was not the particular celebration Turner had in mind, though. “We’re still holding out hope that we’ll be able to have a parade,” he said. In the minutes after the last out of the 2020 World Series, Mayor Eric Garcetti had promised some sort of celebration, if not a parade. The celebration never happened. The 2021 World Series is here, the Dodgers are not in it, and the time for a parade has passed. In Los Angeles, the hurt from not making this year’s World Series will heal quickly. For the millions who devote their hearts, evenings and dollars to the Dodgers every summer, the hurt from not celebrating last year’s World Series will endure.

Weather

For the Dodgers themselves too. They weaved the lure of a parade into their motivation to repeat. “We want to do it again,” manager Dave Roberts said in spring training, “to ultimately enjoy all the fruits of winning a championship.” The parade would have been such fun. The last one was. On parade day in 1988, the movie theaters along Broadway saluted the team on their marquees. At the Orpheum: GO DODGERS At the Palace: IT TAKES HEARTS HATCHER HERSHISER At the Los Angeles: BULLDOG NO WAY JOSE Bulldog was Orel Hershiser’s nickname. Jose was Canseco, a mighty slugger on a mighty Oakland Athletics team the Dodgers supposedly had no chance to beat. Mickey Hatcher was the leader of the Stunt Men, the Dodgers’ bench players. In the regular season, Canseco outhomered Hatcher, 42-1. In the World Series, Hatcher outhomered Canseco, 2-1. Beneath the movie marquees, and sometimes above them, Angelenos crowded together to cheer their Dodgers. They cheered from the sidewalks and the streets, and from stairwells and windowsills stories high above the street.

Floats proclaimed the Dodgers as World Series champions. The marching band and drill team from Wilson High in Hacienda Heights heralded the champions. Jim Hill stood along Broadway, setting the scene for television viewers. He was everywhere 33 years ago, just as he is today. In the lead car, a vintage Chrysler Imperial convertible: Mayor Tom Bradley, Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda and Dodgers owner Peter O’Malley. Atop the lead float: Hershiser, the most valuable player of the World Series, and shortstop Alfredo Griffin, holding the championship trophy high, and toward fans in every direction. The parade proceeded north along Broadway, to a rally at City Hall. The city anticipated such a crush of fans there, The Times reported, that “workers painted big white numbers on the trees on the City Hall lawn so that officials could quickly be dispatched to the appropriate one in case fans fell to the ground.” The Dodgers spoke from a podium, with the trophy on an adjacent table, for all the fans to see. Said Hershiser, dressed in a festive Cosby sweater: “We thank God for the ability, and we thank God for you fans, and we hope we can come back in ‘89 and do the same thing.

so often enough. The interesting question will be if the roster configuration changes much. Drop a pitcher to add another position player with a DH needed each night? Or with the need for fewer pinch hitters, stand pat? You'd think most potential contenders would talk to Kershaw — but the smart money has him returning to Los Angeles. It's hard to imagine otherwise, but hey, it's worth a call or two to find out and that's what I'd expect the Giants to do. Max Scherzer is the Dodgers' free agent I'd go all in on, even with his age (37); if the team splurges, it will be in the rotation, I'd think, and wow is it hard to argue with his track record. @bayarealuke; Everyone is talking about marquee FA's, but I'm more interested in the typical diamond-in-therough FA's that Farhan loves (a la Gausman, Wood, Ruf, etc.). Are there any possible "Farhan Free Agents" that you either think could be good options or are hearing some buzz about? I hate to shut you down, but I'll be writing on this very topic later in the week. Stay tuned! I don't think there's any doubt about it, based on the secondhalf roster decisions and the face Dubón wasn't on the postseason taxi squad. I would think Estrada has a good shot at a roster spot next season if the team doesn't re-sign Donovan Solano. And Dubón could be a trade candidate. I'm not sure anyone

has a real handle on this. Certainly Bart showed some big improvements this year with his work behind the plate, and it's clear he can hit, but he's probably not quite an everyday bigleague catcher yet, and another Giants minorleaguer, Patrick Bailey, is well regarded and might be the better option from a catching standpoint. Bailey could stand to cut down his strikeouts, Bart to up his walks and both have good arms. This is going to be an interesting decision down the line. @foosiesdad' Would love to be a fly on the wall in Farhan & Scott Harris' office. I could easily ask 20 questions – so I'll start with this "What will the S.F. Giants' 2022 payroll be?" I tried to get an answer to this during the post-playoff news conference but didn't get one. Some of this, of course, will depend on the CBA, but it's a safe bet that the payroll will be close to the $165 million-ish the team wound up spending in 2021. We'd all expected before this season that the team would have a lot of money coming off the books, but with Brandon Crawford's extension, the Posey option or extension and a possible new deal for Belt, Johnny Cueto's $22 million option, which will not be picked up, might be the only major savings and even that includes a $5 million buyout. Plus, the team needs four starters. So even with under $100 million in current commitments, including arbitration estimates and anticipated options exercised, it's pretty easy to imagine the payroll being in the $140-$150 million range.
