County releases draft district boundary maps Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County on Thursday released three draft census redistricting maps and plans for public review. “Each of the three proposed boundary maps show the suggested changes that would be made to supervisorial districts based on data from the 2020 Census and input from the community,” a statement released by the county said. If the county were to be divided evenly by population, with a 2020 Census total of 447,857, each district would have about 89,571 residents. However, there are other factors that go into the mapping, including geography and a required effort not to divide what is termed “communities of interest.”

Plan A Plan A would add 1,449 residents to the 1st District, with a proposed population of 91,020; add

970 residents to the 2nd District with a proposed population of 90.541; take 775 residents from the 3rd District for a proposed population of 88,796; add 1,207 residents to the 4th District for a proposed population of 90,778; and take 2,849 from the 5th District for a proposed population of 86,722. The voting age populations for each district would be 60,7074 in the 1st District; 63,262 in the 2nd District; 56,381 in the 3rd District; 66,862 in the 4th District; and 59,576 in the 5th District 5. “This plan reflects minimal changes to existing supervisorial district boundaries with a focus on minor adjustments between Districts 4 and 5 to close the gap in the overall population . . . and bring their populations closer to ideal population size of 89,571. This is primarily accomplished by shifting a small area of southeast Vacaville from District 5 to District 4,” according to information provided by the county. See Maps, Page A8

VALLEJO — A 31-year-old Vallejo man was found dead early Thursday in the area of Meadows Drive near Sonoma Boulevard. The Police Department said he had been fatally shot. His identity was not released. “The motive and circumstances involving this shooting are under investigation at this time,” the department said in a statement released Thursday. That

includes the actual time of the shooting. The Fire Department received the initial call about 3:10 a.m. This is Vallejo’s 15th reported homicide of 2021, with one other suspicious death investigation from August still to determine if that is also a homicide, the police said. It is also the second reported homicide this month. A 35-year-old Vallejo man was found shot to death at approximately See Victim, Page A8

FAIRFIELD — It’s Spooky Season once again. Decorations are up, costumes may have been chosen and get ready to eat more candy than you should because Halloween is upon us. While the Covid-19 pandemic may still put a bit of a damper on the holiday once again this year, hopefully, many people, especially those with children, will be able to celebrate. SmartAsset crunched the numbers to identify and rank the

best cities in America for Halloween (though unfortunately, SmartAsset couldn’t confirm how many houses hand out full-size candy bars vs. how many handout raisins). To find the best cities to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve, SmartAsset compared 210 cities across metrics that include the percentage of children in the population, housing affordability, internet access, crime rates, Covid-19 infection rates, weather, number of costume shops and number of candy stores. California snags four of the spookiest spots. The Golden State

I was way more afraid of actually talking to a girl than I would be fighting the Thing, the Hulk, Sub-Mariner and Thor simultaneously.

Suddenly three men appeared from under the carport and started yelling at us. “Hey, you kids! Come here!” Then they started coming up the hill.

Their questions, dripping with anger, came at me rapid fire. n “What’s the matter with you?” n “Are you guys stupid or something? There are little kids playing down there!” n “Do you live around here?” n “What’s your address?” n “What’s your parents’ names?” n “Who were those kids with you who ran away?” To my horror, a persona whom I thought I had left in Virginia reared his fragile, timid head: Crybaby Anthony. I had been bullied back in Virginia and part of my reinvention on the West Coast was to go by the name my family called me, Tony, and leave Anthony and his cruel descriptor back on the East Coast. But he was suddenly back and I couldn’t control the scared tears that spilled out onto my cheeks. Now, I knew the Kid’s Code of Silence. We practiced it at home when me and my brothers would have huge household wars when our parents weren’t home. We’d battle all day, but when they returned, we all followed the rule that “nobody tells on nobody.”

Snitches didn’t get stitches, but we did get whuppins from our dad’s belt. So we kept the Kid’s Code. But at that moment on the hill my fear trumped the code and I proceeded to spill my guts. I quickly gave up my name, my brother’s and Brian’s name, our addresses, our respective phone numbers, where we went to school, and I would’ve gladly thrown in our favorite colors if they’d asked. I apologized between blubbers and said we had no idea there were kids playing down there. The biggest guy who was shirtless and had more hair than some less verbal primates, said that our parents would be getting a call soon. I went home and when Brian and Ken caught up with me they were furious that I had squealed like a stuck pig. For some reason the men never did contact our parents. At first I figured that maybe they were able to see how contrite I was and decided to drop it. But maybe it was because my dad outranked them.

County passes 300,000 vaccination milestone Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — More than 301,000 Solano County residents who are 12 or older have received at least one vaccination Covid-19 shot – representing 80% of the eligible population. “Isn’t that great?” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview Wednesday. “Eighty percent for one shot is so much higher than we would have thought.” The county reported 301,137 residents have received at least one shot, and 261,479 of those have been fully vaccinated – or 69% of the eligible population. “And that’s definitely

working its way up,” Matyas said about the full vaccination number. The county Wednesday did not update the number of booster shots that have been administered. Matyas was equally happy to see the case rate decline, with only 56 new coronavirus cases reported since Monday’s update, and only 44 of those over the past two days. That puts the two-day average at 22 cases, while the 10-day daily average dropped from 32.3 Monday to 30.8 Wednesday, the county reported. The total number of cases is at 45,559. Matyas said there were no new Covid-related

deaths to report and he does not have any reports to review, either – a strong indication that the worst of the latest surge is over. The pandemic total for C o v i d - r e l a t e d matyas deaths is 315. The number of residents hospitalized with the disease Wednesday was 33, down from 36 Monday, with 10 residents in intensive care units, down from 12. Fairfield added 14 new cases since Monday, taking its total to 12,212. Vallejo added 15 cases to raise its count to 13,351. The city also extended for six weeks its mask mandate

Vallejo extends mask mandate Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — The City Council has extended the mandate requiring Covidprotective masks be worn in indoor public locations regardless of vaccination status. The vote Tuesday was unanimous. “Regardless of vaccination status, residents, workers and visitors must wear masks (face coverings) while indoors or in enclosed public spaces in the city of Vallejo,” a statement released by the city said. The city contends that Covid-19 cases have “significantly increases in Solano County in the past few months,” and not specifically the more contagious Delta variant. The city also notes that the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sonoma and the city of Berkeley have the same mask mandate in place. The Benicia City Council on Nov. 16 will consider whether to extend its mandate as well. No other jurisdiction in Solano County has the same requirement.

Vacaville council hears update Relief on shelter services for homeless From Page A3

K aty St. Clair katy@dailyrepublic.com

VACAVILLE — The organization that provides services to the city’s homeless population has helped hundreds of people this year while providing thousands of meals and respite from the cold. City Council members heard an annual report Tuesday from Colleen Berumen, executive director of Vacaville Solano Corporation, Services which oversees Opportunity House, a shelter for unhoused residents that also provides services and support. Berumen began with a broad overview, reporting that her agency had served 478 individuals over the past year, provided 11,686 sheltered bed nights and gave 33,657 meals to hungry people. Opportunity House currently provides shelter for 91 individuals, 29 of whom are children, she said. The largest population they serve are single women, of

which there are currently 30 staying with them, followed by single men, single mothers, single fathers and then couples with children. Berumen said that Vacaville’s Warming Shelter has drawn people not only from town but from other areas in the county, providing not only an escape from the cold but 6,978 meals, 1,229 showers and 2,807 sheltered bed nights. She highlighted positive outcomes that the shelter has seen, such as two individuals moved into stable housing, 10 people reunited with family, 13 placed in transitional housing or substance abuse programs, 10 people connected to county benefits, and nine people who were able to become stabilized on medication. The Youth Rising Outreach is also a part of the Solano Services Corporation umbrella. The program assists youth who are homeless or at risk of being home-

The board did require, however, that all county employees working in Benicia and Vallejo must follow the mandates enacted by those cities, even if working in county buildings. Vallejo’s extension is good for six weeks. The council will re-evaluate the need at that time. Other jurisdictions

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. After graduating high school at the age of 16, she traveled across county with a girlfriend, who married a solider going off to war. Returning to New York, she worked at the local Nestle chocolate plant during WWII, becoming a ‘Rosie Riveter’. She returned to California in 1965, settling in Fairfield and began working at Mare Island as a computer operator. She continued with that vocation working at Travis AFB and the City of Fairfield. She had a very strong work ethic, sometimes working two jobs at once. She retired in 1992 to become full-time grandma to her three grandchildren. Retirement also gave her more time to devote to her church, Grace Episcopal Church. She served several terms on the vestry, served

as Junior Warden, Verger, and was a member of the Episcopal Church Women. She was also a member of the Women of the Moose local chapter 1379. Linda is survived by her three children, Brian Miner (Mercy) of Vacaville, California, Carol Miner Allen (Don) of Fairfield, California, and Dean Miner (Kathy) of Dixon, California; three grandchildren, Carlton Trey Allen (Theresa) of Roseville, California, Julie Miner of Dixon, California, and Jeffrey Miner (Samantha) of Dixon, California; along with a sister and brother and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by five of her eight siblings. Viewing will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2021, at Bryan-Braker Funeral Home, 1850 W. Texas St., Fairfield, California. Funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021, at Grace Episcopal Church, 1405 Kentucky St., Fairfield, California.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, October 29, 2021 A5

Suisun Valley residents give thumbs-down to any development there in General Plan discussions K aty St. Clair

katy@dailyrepublic.com

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield Planning Commission heard a lot of pushback Wednesday evening for proposed changes to the city’s General Plan that would affect the agri-community of Suisun Valley. The city is currently in the early stages of updating its General Plan, alternately referred to as Fairfield Forward 2050, which will have long-lasting impacts on growth, housing, the economy, infrastructure and the environment in Fairfield.

A general plan is a community’s blueprint for growth. At issue are three suggestions proffered by the city, known as the “alternatives.” These are concepts for land use in Fairfield, all of which can be “mixed and matched” as well, but stand as a starting point for discussion. All three alternative plans vary but share these same characteristics: improving the Linear Park Trail, expanding industrial land, expanding the city’s boundaries between Cordelia and central

Fairfield, and more development under the Heart of Fairfield and Train Station specific plans. Each alternative is broken down in general ways. n Alternative 1: New neighborhoods, flyway connection, knowledge hub, more single-family development. n Alternative 2: Smart train in Cordelia, transit-oriented development near corridors, a jobs corridor, and the “greatest balance of single-family and multifamily” housing, according to the city. n Alternative 3: Com-

munity centers, Travis Air Force Base train connection, an “agrihood” concept, and “the greatest amount of multifamily” housing. Public comment about the General Plan discussion was entirely focused on Suisun Valley and residents or farmers there who do not want to see it in any way urbanized. “Going after Suisun Valley is a declaration of war on the community,” said resident and Solano Valley College instructor Jim DeKloe. He brought up what others had also shared during

public comment, the idea of creating an “Alternative 4” with zero annexation. Supervisor Monica Brown, who lives in the Cordelia Villages are of the city, brown urged the commission to “pause” a bit and come up with another alternative plan that does not take away agriculture or open space in the area. “The open space is what makes us unique,” she said, adding that “we will be stuck with whatever we put in the

General Plan for decades to come.” Brown said that even if housing were to go into the area, it would not be affordable and would be a bad trade for “taking away our open spaces.” “There is no hurry,” she said. Others came forward and said they had worked hard over the years to make the valley a fun, natural tourist destination with wineries and pretty scenery. Some See Valley, Page A9

Airport program to support chances for disadvantaged firms, individuals Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County this week kept itself in line for more than $250,000 in federal Airport Improvement Program grant funds by approving an Airport Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program at Nut Tree Airport. Leno, the Dustin former airport manager recently promoted to assistant director of General Services, said the goal is to use disadvantaged businesses as primary or subcontractors on airport

projects that receive federal funding. Those businesses often are minority- or womenowned firms that may not have had the same opportunities to win contracts in the past. Leno said the $900,000 taxi lane pavement project expected to begin in the spring would be an example. And even if the primary contractor is not a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise company, it could receive incentives to use DBE firms as subcontractors. “The baseline Airport DBE program will be used to establish per-

centage goals and be updated every three years. Next steps include a consultation meeting with (the) county Disadvantaged Business Enterprise liaison officer and certified DBE companies within the local area to discuss any upcoming Nut Tree Airport federal (airport improvement) projects and possible DBE opportunities,” the staff report to the Board of Supervisors states. The program falls under the umbrella of General Services. Department Director Megan Greve has been designated as the

liaison officer. Leno said a three-year plan with specific goals will be developed after the community meeting. “By adopting this resolution, future Nut Tree Airport projects will support socially and economically disadvantaged individuals within our community,” the staff report states. It is expected to cost the county $19,914 to complete the Nut Tree Airport DBE Program, which will come from the Professional Services unit of the Airport Operating Budget.

Thompson co-authors Social Security 2100 Act that aims to shore up program Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — Rep. Mike Thompson announced this week that he was among the co-authors of Connecticut Rep. John Larson’s recently introduced Social Security 2100: A Sacred Trust Act. This legislation expands on the previous versions of the Social Security 2100 Act to better strengthen and protect the Social Security program, according to a press release. “Social Security is the bedrock of retirement security for millions of seniors across the nation, ensuring they can retire with the dignity they deserve,” Thompson, D-St. Helena, said in a press release issued Tuesday. “In our district alone, 144,623 Social Security beneficiaries receive $218 million each month to help them continue their retirement and stay happy and

healthy in old age. That money is spent in our district, helping to boost our local economy.” The Social Security 2100 Act increases and expands benefits, including improving the cost of living adjustment, so it reflects the inflation actually experienced by seniors, improving benefits for long-serving, low-wage workers, and improving benefits for widows and widowers from two-income households, Thompson’s office reports. The bill provides a tax cut for middleincome beneficiaries by raising the thresholds for taxation of Social Security benefits to $35,000 for single people and $50,000 for those who are married, Thompson’s office reports. The bill permanently improves Social Security’s longterm financing, extending the trust fund reserve depletion date by four years and closing more

than half of the program’s 75-year shortfall. It also repeals the Elimination Windfall Provision and Government Pension Offset that currently penalize many public servants by reducing the amount of Social Security benefits they may receive in addition to their public pensions. “This bill ensures the future of the Social Security program for generations and increases and expands benefits for beneficiaries across the board,” Thompson said in the press release. “We must pass this important bill to support our nation’s seniors.” A fact sheet provided by Thompson’s office notes that the expanded benefits would be accomplished in three ways. n Payroll taxes are not collected on wages over $142,800. This legislation would apply the payroll tax to wages above $400,000. Doing so would affect the top 0.4%

of wage earners. n It would extend the depletion date (when a 20% cut to benefits would occur) to 2038. The extension gives Congress more time to ensure long-term solvency of the Trust Funds. n A Social Security Trust Fund is established. Social Security provides all-in-one retirement, survivor and disability benefits funded through the dedicated FICA contribution paid by workers. There are technically two trust funds, Old-Age and Survivors and Disability Insurance, usually referred to as the Social Security Trust Fund. This provision combines the OASI and DI trust funds into one Social Security Trust Fund, to ensure that all benefits are paid. Thompson represents the state’s 5th Congressional District with Vallejo and Benicia among the cities.

For those still struggling, we offer “disclosing tablets.” These are little tablets which, when chewed and swished around the mouth, stain the bacteria (plaque) in the mouth a pinkish color. The child can plainly see this and is instructed to brush until the stains are gone.

Alec Baldwin appears to deflect blame on shooting Tribune Content Agency Alec Baldwin retweeted a news article about “Rust” assistant director Dave Halls telling officials he “should have checked” all the rounds during a gun inspection on the movie’s set. The article, which was published by the New York Times, referenced a search warrant affidavit released Wednesday, less than a week after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally wounded by a shot from a prop firearm that was being handled by Baldwin. In the affidavit, investigators say Halls told officials he “could only remember seeing three rounds” when he

inspected the gun. “He advised he should have checked them all, but didn’t, and couldn’t recall if (armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed) had spun the gun,” reads the document, which was released by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office. Baldwin was rehearsing a scene for the Western movie in which he drew a gun and pointed it toward a camera when the incident occurred last Thursday, the film’s director, Joel Souza, told investigators last week. Halls told authorities he didn’t realize the gun was loaded, and described the situation as “not a deliberate act.” No one has been ruled out from facing charges.

Balloons From Page One and many cities across Northern California, it is still legal to smoke or vape in apartment buildings and public spaces, even though this exposes neighbors and other residents to dozens of cancer-causing chemicals. Centers for The Disease Control and Prevention reports that 41,000 people die each year from secondhand smoke, 7,333 get lung cancer and 33,951 suffer heart disease. Burris said that unlike private homeowners, apartment residents have little to no protection from the secondhand smoke that filters in from a neighbor’s units through ventilation shafts, walls and balconies. Children and seniors can also be exposed every time they visit the park or walk past a smoker outside of a local business, she said. Burris pointed out that Fairfield, like many cities throughout the state, received a grade

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, October 29, 2021 A9

Newsom, Buttigieg announce $5 billion Soroptimist awards, cash available for in loans for California’s clogged ports Tribune Content Agency Not content to wait for Congress to pass a big infrastructure spending bill, Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg moved on Thursday to inject $5 billion in loan money to help modernize California’s seaports. The money won’t help unclog the severe congestion that’s creating seaport chaos at present, but the two say that modernizing the ports and the truck and rail systems that serve them can prevent logistics nightmares in the future. “Our supply chains are being put to the test, with unprecedented consumer demand and pandemic-driven disruptions combining with the results of decades-long underinvestment in our

Valley From Page A5 commenters questioned paving over the area’s rich soil, which they said is becoming extinct in America and should be treasured and cultivated. Many people mentioned the area’s flooding and traffic woes, which they said would be exacerbated if the area is built up. All in all, more than 30 people spoke out against doing anything with the valley. As Planning Manager David Feinstein said, the evening’s discussion was just that – a discussion of options leading to a more focused plan down the line. The next step is what’s known as the Preferred Plan, which is a

infrastructure,” Buttigieg, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, said in a prepared statement. “Today’s announcement marks an innovative partnership with California that will help modernize our infrastructure, confront climate change, speed the movement of goods and grow our economy.” What the money would be spent on remains vague. The California State Transportation Agency, also known as CalSTA, listed port upgrades, more freight rail capacity, increased warehouse storage, truck and rail electrification, highway upgrades and other general categories as possibilities. At a press conference Thursday, John Pocari, President Biden’s point person for addressing supply chain

problems, and CalSTA Secretary David S. Kim each likened the program to “a hunting license.” The loan money would come from existing U.S. Department of Transportation programs that offer easy terms, including low rates of interest, loan guarantees, and long payback periods, as well as some state money and public-private financing. CalSTA said on Thursday that the agreement “allows California to expedite work on a network of related projects – rather than using a piecemeal approach – that collectively will help grow the economy, improve the environment, facilitate the movement of imports and exports, and strengthen supply chain resilience throughout the U.S. and California’s critical trade

corridors, including around San Pedro Bay and the Inland Empire.” No details were offered on what constitutes that network, nor was it clear how the loans will be dispersed, or to whom. Earlier this month, Gov. Newsom ordered state agencies to develop longer-term proposals to support ports operations and movement of goods, to be considered for his January 2022 budget proposal. This year, the state budget included includes $250 million for ports, $280 million for infrastructure projects at and around the Port of Oakland, and $1.3 billion over three years for zero-emission transit buses, school buses and trucks, including more than 1,000 port drayage trucks.

synthesizing of previous ideas and suggestions into a more refined document which is itself only a precursor to a finalized General Plan. “I hope what goes forward takes into account the comments this evening,” said Commissioner Shawn Smith, who grew up in Suisun Valley. “We have a lot of work to do and we’re going to go through this piece by piece.” No one from the public or over Zoom spoke about the other areas of Fairfield that would be affected by an updated General Plan, as several commissioners pointed out. Commissioner Tina Werblen noted that the pandemic may have affected people’s ability to respond to surveys or public meetings and said she’d like to see a lot more outreach before any deci-

sions are made. The regions listed in the updated General Plan are: n Cordelia Junction (34% of those surveyed preferred Alternative 3) n Interstate 80 north to Rockville Road (40% chose Alternative 3). n I-80 south to the Suisun Marsh (40% chose Alternative 3). n North Texas Street (44% chose Alternative 2). n Solano Town Center (42% chose Alternative 1). n Supplementing downtown (28% chose Alternative 2, with 26% choosing Alternative 3). n New neighborhoods such as Nelson Hill, Rancho Solano and the sphere of influence west of Cordelia (very few responses to survey, but four people want to keep open space in Nelson Hill). n Gold Hill Road to the proposed Pacific Flyway

Center (“some support” for road redesign). n Travis Air Force Base connection (the General Plan Advisory Committee supports it). Commissioner Lerecia Evans agreed that everything must be done to reach more people in each of these regions to keep collecting their feedback. There were no official votes Wednesday from the commission related to Fairfield Forward 2050, just discussion, comments and opinions from the body for the city Planning Department to take into consideration. The Fairfield City Council on Tuesday will also look at the latest alternative plans for Fairfield Forward 2050.

Criminal charges filed in Albany against Cuomo Tribune Content Agency Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was charged Thursday with a misdemeanor sex offense related to allegations that he groped a staffer at the Executive Mansion in Albany last year. The summons, filed by the Albany County Sheriff’s Office, accuses the governor of reaching under the blouse of a woman and grabbing her left breast on Dec. 7 of last year. Investigator Amy Kowalski wrote that Cuomo “knowingly and intentionally” committed the crime of forcible touching, a class A misdemeanor that carries a sentence of up to a year in jail and is bail eligible. “Andrew M. Cuomo did intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly place his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim and onto her intimate body part,” the complaint reads. According to the sheriff’s office, Cuomo is due to appear in court on Nov. 17. Complicating matters, the Albany Times Union reported that Cuomo’s accuser had not yet consented to press charges and the summons was erroneously filed in error after investigators met with court officials. “Like the rest of the public, we were surprised

Facebook changes name to Meta Tribune Content Agency The name change is the most definitive signal so far of the company’s intention to stake its future on a new computing platform – the metaverse, an idea born in the imaginations of sci-fi novelists. In Meta’s vision, people will congregate and communicate by entering virtual environments, whether they’re talking with colleagues in a boardroom or hanging out with friends in far-flung corners of the world. The new name won’t affect how the company uses or shares data, and the corporate structure isn’t changing. Apps including the flagship social network, Instagram and WhatsApp will also keep their monikers. The company said its stock will start trading under a new ticker, MVRS, on Dec. 1. The erstwhile Facebook is hoping to parlay its social-media user base, comprising more than 3 billion people globally, into an audience that will embrace immersive digital experiences through devices powered by augmented and virtual reality software, a business already being aggressively pursued by Meta and its rivals.

to learn today that a criminal complaint was filed,” Albany County District Attorney David Soares said in a statement. Rita Glavin, Cuomo’s personal attorney, said in cuomo a statement that the ex-pol has “never assaulted anyone.” She went on to accuse Albany Sheriff Craig Apple of playing politics, saying his “motives here are patently improper.” “Sheriff Apple didn’t even tell the District Attorney what he was doing,” Glavin said. “This is not professional law enforcement; this is politics.” While the victim’s name is redacted in the filing, former Cuomo executive assistant Brittany Commisso has publicly accused the exgovernor of groping her at his official residence late last year and filed

a criminal complaint in August with the Sheriff’s Office in Albany. Commisso revealed her identity following the release of a damning report from Attorney General Letitia James’ office detailing multiple sexual harassment claims against the 63-year-old Democrat. The allegations outlined in the report, from 11 women, including Commisso and several other young staffers, led to Cuomo’s resignation on Aug. 10. However, Cuomo has forcefully denied the claims against him and his lawyers have contested Commisso’s account, arguing that dates in the attorney general’s report didn’t add up and that pictures show the executive assistant welcomed and even initiated physical

contact with Cuomo. “I would never on my own get up and initiate a hug with the governor,” Commisso said during an August interview with “CBS This Morning.” “He came back to me and that’s when he put his hand up my blouse and cupped my breast over my bra,” Commisso said.” “I exactly remember looking down, seeing his hand, which is a large hand, thinking to myself, ‘Oh, my God. This is happening.’” Commisso said it was as if Cuomo was “in a sexually aggressive state of mind. I really don’t know how to explain the moment. It was, it was – I don’t have the words. I don’t have the words.” Commisso told independent investigators working under James that Cuomo groped her and grabbed her breast while the two were alone in his office at the Execu-

tive Mansion last year. A November date is noted in a footnote in the report. In addition to the harassment claims, investigators determined the Cuomo administration was a “hostile work environment” that was “rife with fear and intimidation.” Glavin has made nearweekly public appearances attempting to discredit Cuomo’s accusers and accusing James, who is in the process of launching her own campaign for governor, of interfering in the

investigation. James said the charges against Cuomo back up the finding of the investigation her office oversaw. “From the moment my office received the referral to investigate allegations that former Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, we proceeded without fear or favor,” she said. “The criminal charges brought today against Mr. Cuomo for forcible touching further validate the findings in our report.”

Melvin leaves A’s, signs 3-year deal with SD Tribune Content Agency The Oakland A’s will be on the hunt for a new manager after news dropped that Bob Melvin agreed to a threeyear deal with the San Diego Padres, sources confirmed to this news organization. Melvin, 60, is a Bay Area native who managed the A’s for 11 seasons and opted into his contract option this spring with the A’s. His contract in Oakland would

have been up after the 2022 season, and there was little indication the A’s would re-sign him with the payroll expected to drop significantly. The A’s granted Melvin permission to discuss the opening with the Padres – who parted ways with manager Jayce Tingler after the season – reportedly without any compensation. But the hire came as a shock. Melvin was reportedly being considered to fill the vacant New

York Mets managerial job, but those rumors died when longtime A’s executive Billy Beane removed his name for consideration for the Mets vice president of baseball operations position. The Padres were rumored to have interest in Atlanta Braves third base coach Ron Washington, currently competing in the World Series — but there had been no indication the Padres had their sights set on Melvin. Melvin passed Tony LaRussa and became

the winningest manager in Oakland team history this season, and guided the team to the playoff six times, winning the AL West three times. The A’s missed the playoffs following three straight postseason berths. Players he managed spoke highly of Melvin’s ability to handle difficult discussions and help bring out the best in them. A’s pitcher Chris Bassitt has said he credits Melvin, among others, for helping his career blossom. “At the end of the day, Bo

ALUMNI UPDATE

Mel means way more to me than just the game of baseball,” Bassitt said in a text message. “I wish him nothing but the very best no matter where he is.” The A’s went 853-764 under Melvin after he took over for Bob Geren in the middle of the 2011 season. Overall, his managerial record is 1,346-1,272 with Seattle, Arizona and the A’s. Melvin’s departure could signal dark offseasons to come for the A’s. Their $89,650,598 payroll

ranked 21st in baseball is expected to be reduced for the 2022 season. While the organization is making strides towards building a new ballpark development at Howard Terminal, ownership has slashed costs internally and doubled season ticket prices since the pandemic began. With 10 players arbitration eligible, 10 free agents and two with club options, the A’s 2021 roster could look a lot different in 2022 outside of the manager’s spot.

Vanden grad Kris Negrón named Triple-A West Manager of the Year Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

As someone who played everywhere on the field except pitcher and catcher in the major leagues, Kristopher Negrón learned a lot by playing. And as a super utility player who rarely started, the Vanden High graduate also, as Yogi Berra might have said, “observed a lot by watching.” Negrón put that knowledge to use in his first year as manager, leading the Tacoma Rainiers to the Triple-A West championship with a 78-52 record and was voted TripleA West Manager of the Year. He became the first Tacoma manager

to win the award since Dan Rohn in 2004 and 2005. A release by the Rainiers announcing the award said the following: “Negrón, 35, was an active player as recently as 2019, splitting that season between Tacoma, the Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Negrón brought a 14-year professional playing career as a versatile INF/OF to his first season as manager, including 170 career Major League games between 2012 and 2019 with Cincinnati, Arizona, Seattle and L.A. His award is all the more impressive considering 2021 was his first season as a manager or

coach at any professional level. Negrón turned pro in 2006, as a seventh round draft selection of the Boston Red Sox. His playing career spanned over 1,600 professional games. “While Negrón led the Rainiers to the pinnacle in their league, his guidance has also been crucial for development of Seattle Mariners top prospects in Tacoma. Under his watch, the Rainiers committed the fewest errors in their league, the pitching staff walked the fewest batters of all Triple-A West clubs, and Tacoma batters drew the most walks in all of TriSee Alumni, Page B2

Week 11 prep football capsules Armijo (1-8, 0-4) vs. Fairfield (0-8, 0-4)

When: Today, 7:30 p.m. Where: Brownlee Field, Armijo High Series: Fairfield leads 32-20-2 Last meeting: 2019, Armijo won 63-0 Last week: Armijo lost to Vanden, 67-6; Armijo lost to Wood, 70-0 Of note: Armijo’s won four straight in the Rivalry Without A Name, its longest streak since winning five in a row from 2002 to 2006. The Royals figure to make it five as the Falcons, who have lost 27 straight and been outscored 343-13, have yet to score a point on offense this season. Look for outgoing seniors Eddie Concepcion and Dameion Regalado, Armijo’s quarterback and standout receiver, to go out with a bang. . . . The last time the teams played, Armijo rolled to a 63-0 victory in the 2019 season finale, the biggest shutout win and biggest margin of victory in school history. . . . Should the Falcons score they would snap their school record of six straight shutout losses. Before this season, the record was three straight, set four times, most recently in 2018 and 2019. They also failed to score in three straight games in 1968, though one was a scoreless tie with Vacaville. . . . Making it to this

point in the season is a victory of sorts for Fairfield, whose coaching staff insisted on keeping the bulk of its sophomores on the JV team to build for the future. Whether the move pays off down the road remains to be seen, but the JV team has enjoyed more success than it’s had in years. Prediction: Armijo 54, Fairfield 0

Rodriguez (7-2, 2-2) vs. Vanden (7-2, 3-1) When: Today, 7:30 p.m. Where: George A. Gammon Field, Vanden High Series: Vanden leads 9-5 Last meeting: In the spring, Vanden won 47-6 Last week: Vanden defeated Armijo, 67-6; Rodriguez lost to Vacaville, 42-6 Of note: Since going 2-3 in the spring, Rodriguez has improved immensely and will likely make the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs regardless of the outcome of Friday’s game. They would like to validate their 6-0 start, best in school history, by capping the regular season with a victory over the Vikings, something they haven’t achieved in more than a decade. Vanden has won the last six in the

series, the last five by an average score of 47-4. . . . After throwing for 337 yards in last week’s win over Armijo, Vanden quarterback Tre Dimes has 1,792 yards on the season, which ranks seventh on the school’s all-time single season list, and needs 208 to achieve the fifth 2,000-yard season in Vikings history, three of which belong to Ben Scott (2009-11). He also has 23 touchdown passes, which currently ranks fourth. . . . Rodriguez quarterback Miles Meadows attempted 37 passes last week against Vacaville, the most since Jacob Hurt’s school-record 40 attempts against Encinal of Alameda in 2013, completing 13 for 216 yards with one TD and three interceptions. . . . Should Vanden win and Wood upset Vacaville, the Vikings, Wildcats and Bulldogs would finish in a three-way tie for first in the Monticello Empire League at 4-1. Should Rodriguez upset Vanden and Vacaville top Wood, the Mustangs, Vikings and Wildcats would finish in a three-way tie for second at 3-2. The latest maxpreps.com Sac-Joaquin Section playoff rankings have Vanden seeded second in Division IV with a first-round bye and Rodriguez seeded 10th in Division III with a first round game at Patterson.

Season ends for Vanden; Vaca, VCS advance to semis FAIRFIELD — The Vanden High volleyball team saw its season come to an end with a tough 25-18, 26-24, 25-23 loss to Central Catholic of Modesto in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III quarterfinals at Jim Boyd Gym, Thursday. The Vikings (20-8) entered the match seeded No. 4, the Raiders (18-8) seeded fifth. “Tonight was a hard fight match,” Vanden coach Cindy Scolavino said. “The scores don’t do justice to how close it really was.

I am extremely proud of this team and all they have accomplished this year. Our ground coverage was solid. Our blocks were well placed and effective. We struck the ball aggressively and left it all in a court tonight.” For the Vikings, Anaya Thrower had eight kills and three blocks; Audrey Alexander was 7-of-7 on serves with one ace, 13-of-19 on serve receive and had 20 digs and two assists; Breanna Davis was 19-of-20 on serves with two aces, 11 digs and 23 assists; Francesca King was 8-of-10 on serves with three digs and 14 assists; Jada Cuffie had five kills and two digs; Lauren Whyte had nine kills and two blocks; Soleil Sands had 13 kills and four blocks; and Sumerlyn Spencer was 15-of-16 on serves with one aces, 16-of-28 on serve receive and added six kills, eight digs See Local, Page B10

Seven 2021 Rainiers (including top prospects Logan Gilbert, Jarred Kelenic, Cal Raleigh and Darren McCaughan) made their Major League debut this season with the tutelage of Negrón, helping the Mariners remain in the American League Wild Card race into the season’s final weekend.” Not a bad first season by the former Viking. Tony Gonsolin (Vacaville) pitched in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, allowing four runs on three hits with three strikeouts and one walk over the final two innings of a 9-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Gonsolin made three postseason appearances, going 1-0 with an 11.25 earned run average, allowing five runs on five hits with four strikeouts and one walk in four innings. During the regular season, which was interrupted by injuries, Gonsolin had a 4-1 record with a 3.23 ERA in 15 appearances, 13 of them starts. Over 55 2/3 innings, he had 65 strikeouts and 34 walks with 41 hits allowed. NFL Mykal Walker (Vacaville) played for the Atlanta Falcons in a thrilling 30-28 victory over the Miami Dolphins.

In the Wolf Pack’s 34-32 loss to Fresno State, Strong completed a school-record 49 passes in 61 attempts for a career-high 476 yards and four touchdowns with one interception. He completed a 12-yard TD toss to Cole Turner with 2 seconds left, but a 2-point conversion pass failed when the receiver caught Strong’s pass beyond the end zone. Nevada (5-2, 2-1 MWC) also got field goals of 32 and 38 yards as well as two extra points from Brandon Talton (Vacaville).

Will state’s auditor remain independent?

riticizing the California Legislature is, to use an old saying, as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. The Legislature wastes too much time on trendy trivia, is too influenced by narrow interests such as public employee unions, and fails to grasp the economic and social megatrends affecting Californians’ lives. That said, the Legislature’s less than stellar tendencies are at least partially offset by its maintenance of two invaluable agencies that give lawmakers and the larger public independent information and advice, the Legislative Analyst’s Office and the State Auditor. The LAO dives into the state budget’s ever-increasing scope Dan Walters and complexity, and presents its findings and advice in plain language. It’s a counterweight to the Department of Finance, which shapes the budget to the political priorities of the governor, and to outside interest groups. The state auditor, meanwhile, delves into specific areas of concern, particularly failings of state agencies and their programs, and the resulting reports of managerial shortcomings are often embarrassing to the governor. Additionally, the auditor keeps an eye on local governments, particularly the financial problems of cities, and also monitors big trends with long-term negative impacts on the state. Once appointed, the civil servants who head the two agencies operate independently, if not autonomously, and they tend to remain in their positions for relatively long periods, sometimes decades. Gabe Petek, the current legislative analyst, is only the sixth person to hold the position in the 80 years since his office was created. That longevity testifies to the Legislature’s hands-off attitude toward both agencies and allows them to take long views of issues, rather than bend to the prevailing political winds. Periodically, of course, the agencies’ top executives retire, giving the Capitol’s politicians an opportunity to appoint successors. When that happens those who rely on their independent research and advice wonder whether the tradition will continue, or whether politicians will seize control. Petek’s appointment in 2018 continued the tradition of independence but a new test of the tradition looms because Elaine Howle, the state auditor for the past 21 years, quietly announced this week that she will retire at the end of the year. While Howle has performed admirably from the onset of her tenure, the past few years have been particularly fruitful as she and her staff delved into some major managerial failures. One was an almost unblemished record of failures in the implementation of expensive information technology projects. But the most spectacular was a meltdown in the Employment Development Department as it confronted a tidal wave of applications for unemployment insurance benefits due to the Covid-19-fueled recession. Not only were applications for life-sustaining benefits from suddenly jobless workers delayed for weeks and even months, but the department paid out tens of billions of dollars in fraudulent claims, some of them to state prison inmates. Ironically, or fittingly, as Howle’s retirement was announced Monday, she appeared before a legislative committee for a hearing into EDD’s failures – a hearing that had been postponed several times, apparently to avoid embarrassing Gov. Gavin Newsom as he faced a recall election. Howle reminded legislators that her office had spotted EDD’s shortcomings during the 2007-09 recession and recommended improvements but nothing was done and the operational problems popped up again, although much, much worse. The Legislature will create a pool of three potential successors to Howle and Newsom will make the final choice. Here’s hoping that they will select a worthy successor who will maintain the office’s tradition of telling it like it is, not like politicians wish it to be.

The FBI, according to the Horowitz report, concluded that the claims weren’t true; Cohen has emphatically denied them. Pressed on the FBI’s conclusions, Steele told Stephanopoulos: “I don’t know to what extent they were able to look into it. I don’t know what evidence they gathered.

So, from my point of view, I think it’s still an open question.” On the one hand, we have Steele’s sources; on the other, we have the FBI. “I stand by the work we did, the sources that we had and the professionalism which we applied to it,” said Steele in his ABC News interview. That unwillingness to admit fault and to correct the record was popular among some news outlets – McClatchy, MSNBC and CNN, to name some of the most prominent – that had hyped the dossier before it was exposed as a fraud. Perhaps they, too, are waiting for confirming details to emerge from the haze. We’ll check back at the dossier’s 10th anniversary.

Anderson’s ‘French Dispatch’ is amusing, very Anderson-y Chris Hewitt

Star Tribune, (TNS)

’m worried Wes Anderson is turning into Woody Allen – not personally, but professionally. Like Allen, Anderson does something specific that gets more specific with each film. You can identify his movies by glancing at their suitable-for framing images – deadpan actors are artificially posed within the symmetrical composition and someone is bound to be wearing orange with turquoise – but I worry that’s dooming him to gradually smaller audiences of devotees. Anderson’s latest contraption begins with a rarefied subject – “The French Dispatch” is about a high-toned magazine so similar to the New Yorker that the movie is dedicated to the weekly publication’s staffers – and gets more idiosyncratic from there. It’s in three ornate parts, posing as three stories from the magazine, joined by scenes of the editor (Bill Murray, avuncular and calm) haggling over budgets and space. If you like Anderson movies such as “The Royal Tenenbaums” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” you’ll like “French Dispatch,” which he wrote and directed. I did. But the jokes are so Anderson-ish that you may have to already love his work to appreciate them. There’s a scene, for instance, in which three people sit at a table for four and, as the camera angle shifts, so does the way they’re arranged. What we’re being shown, the joke says, is impossible. Many of the jokes are similarly movie-aware. “French” parodies a kind of ennui-laden foreign film that was popular in the middle of the last century, when it seems to

HHH (out of four) be set. (Timothee Chalamet, as a revolutionary, is particularly adept at turning big passion into big laughs.) Many of the sets depicting the fictional town of Ennui-surBlase are styled to look fake, like dioramas. And one bit makes fun of the cinematic convention in which an older actor replaces the younger version of a character we’ve been following. When an artist played by Tony Revolori (from “Grand Budapest”) gives way to the older version, now played by Benicio Del Toro, he places his necklace around Del Toro’s neck, so we know they’re supposed to be the same guy. The story is labyrinthine and beside the point. The central joke is that, whatever they’re supposed to be reporting on, the writers – Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Jeffrey Wright – make their stories about themselves, and the actors dig into their larger-

than-life characters with gusto. McDormand’s snarly seriousness is so specific that even an unfunny-on-paper line such as “Exactly!” is hilarious in her hands. Swinton’s garish (orange, of course) gown and enthusiastic telling of Del Toro’s story also are amusing, especially if you’ve read the kind of going-on-long-about-alittle story she tells. Most of the humor is of the sort that makes you think, “Yes, that’s clever,” rather than laughing out loud. That’s where the danger of insularity comes in. When he’s willing to go there, Anderson can create emotionally engaging characters – del Toro’s gruff brand of sweetness is quite poignant, for instance – and his comedy taste extends to a couple of visual gags that would be at home in a Buster Keaton movie. But he seems more comfortable with parody than sincerity. Anderson’s love of the elaborately fake worlds created by movies is clear in every frame of every film he’s made. It makes sense that “French Dispatch” affectionately salutes writers who insist on doing their own thing, since that’s what he does, too. As a fan, I hope audiences keep paying attention.

Today’s deal was played at two tables in a Canadian tournament many years ago. The auction was the same at both tables. The first declarer won the club-queen lead in the dummy, played a diamond to his king and led a spade to the king and ace. East returned his remaining club, declarer ducking and winning the next round. Now a low spade to dummy’s nine kept West off play and established nine tricks: two spades, two hearts, three diamonds and two clubs. At the other table, the play began in identical fashion: club queen to the king, diamond to the king, spade to the king. But here Michael Passell (East) dropped his jack under the king! Not unnaturally, declarer returned to hand with a diamond and led a spade to the queen. Passell pounced with the ace and returned his second club, establishing his partner’s suit while West still had the spade 10 as an entry. When the diamonds weren’t 3-3, declarer could take only eight tricks. You never play the jack? What, never? No, never! What, never? Hardly ever! COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

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

Pursuant to Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the general prevailing wage rates in the county, or counties, in which the work is to be done have been determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. These wages are set forth in the General Prevailing Wage Rates for this project, available at City of Suisun City and available from the California Department of Industrial Relationsʼ Internet web site at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD.

Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in the bid book. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. The City of Suisun City will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes "helper" (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations.
