FAIRFIELD — The condition of the unincorporated roads in Solano County have been rated as “very good,” but streets in Vallejo were listed as “poor” and those in Benicia, Suisun City and Rio Vista were considered to be “at-risk.”

Fairfield’s roads were rated as “fair,” as were Dixon’s, while Vacaville’s streets received an assessment of “good.”

The ratings are part of the annual Pavement Condition of Bay Area Jurisdictions report for

“But the new scores illustrate how big a challenge it is to bring our roads . . . to a state of good repair,” Pedroza said in the statement. “Local streets and roads money from the SB 1 transportation package is helping counties and cities hold the line against deterioration, but our goal at MTC is to raise the region’s average PCI score into the mid-80s.

Community sends message to Fairfield council: Don’t mess with Suisun Valley K aty St. Clair

katy@dailyrepublic.com

FAIRFIELD — A series of speakers made clear Tuesday night their position that the city should seek to preserve the Suisun Valley, not bring it into the city for development.

The City Council chamber was mostly packed with people fearful that the new, updated General Plan, called “Fairfield

Dozens of people expressed their opposition to doing anything with the area whatsoever.

Thousands line up for ‘stinky feet’ odor of blooming corpse plant Tribune Content Agency SAN DIEGO — By 12:30 p.m. Monday, the long, snaking line of visitors outside the San Diego Botanic Garden had grown to nearly 200 people, at least one of whom admitted to driving from Texas overnight just to see the ephemeral bloom of the rare Amorphophallus titanum plant.

Only a handful of public gardens in the United States have these exotic Sumatran jungle plants that are better known as the “corpse plant,” thanks to their enormous flowers, which at peak bloom emit a putrid and pulsing odor of rotting flesh. After a monthlong growth cycle, the spathe, or the petal-like sheath around the flower’s spadix (a beige, fleshy spike), began folding back around 3 p.m. Sunday.

Horticulture Manager John Clements was one of several garden employees who stayed overnight Sunday to photograph, measure, study and handpollinate the flowers at the base of the spadix. The bloom lasts just 48 hours and the plant is unlikely

to bloom again for three to four years.

Clements said the plant’s scent is designed by nature to attract carrion beetles and flesh flies from miles away to help with the pollinating process. The scent peaks during the nighttime hours of 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., when the air is still and the aroma can travel more easily.

He said that on Sunday night, the plant’s odor grew stronger and more toxic-smelling as midnight approached. Garden workers experienced sore throats, burning eyes and a metallic taste in their mouths. The chemical reaction that creates the acidic aroma also heats up the flower’s spadix in a process known as thermogenesis. In the hours after the flower opened on Halloween, Clements said they measured the spadix’s temperature rising from 75 to 97 degrees at peak bloom and smell.

“It started out like a good French cheese, stinky but delightful,” Clements said of the smell.

“Then it moved on to adolescent boys’ socks.

Then it was junior high

school gymnasium, followed by full-on rotten fish. Finally, it moved all the way to a rotting corpse smell that was so thick and heavy you could cut it with a knife.”

By Monday morning, the 6-foot-tall flower remained in full, glorious bloom with its blood-red petal spathe slowly darkening to a deep maroon, but its smell was more muted. Every few minutes, a wave of odor would drift from the plant. The reduced scent didn’t seem to bother the garden visitors who began queuing up to see the plant around 8:30 a.m. Monday.

One man from Texas read about the plant’s bloom on Sunday afternoon and drove out to see it by noon Monday. He wouldn’t give his name because he was “playing hooky” from work, but he said it was worth the drive.

Those who got a brief whiff of the plant described it variously as a dirty diaper, a pile of unwashed laundry, spoiled hamburger meat or “eau de dog poop.”

The Hutchinson family of Oceanside were more interested in the look

of the bloom than its smell. Retirees Robert and Maria Hutchinson were so fascinated by the corpse plant that they recently bought a year-round garden membership so they could visit the plant several times.

On Monday morning, they

Call For Your

returned with their adult son, Rob, who said he was fascinated by the look and size of the flower.

Another corpse plant that’s a sibling to the one now in bloom, is just starting its flower-growing process and should bloom around the end of Novem-

ber. The Richardsons plan to come back again for that one, too.

“All I can say is the amazing petals are an unbelievable color,” Robert Huchinson said. “I want to come back and see this again.”

Kaiser ready to move forward with child vaccinations Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — Kaiser Permanente will soon offer the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine to children ages 5 to 11 after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its recent recommendations.

The Food and Drug Administration also has determined the vaccine has met the criteria for emergency use authorization for children in this age range, finding that the known and potential benefits of the PfizerBioNTech Covid-19 vaccine in children outweigh the known and potential risks.

“I am very confident that this vaccine is safe for children,” Dr. Nicola Klein said by video in a Zoom press conference. “I strongly recommend that all parents get their children vaccinated as soon as possible.”

Klein is the director of the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center, a research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, and the principal investigator for the Pfizer pediatric vaccine trial in Northern California.

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children is administered as a two-dose primary series, three weeks apart, but at a lower dose (10 micrograms) than that used for individuals 12 years of age and older (30 micrograms).

Dr. Keedra McNeill is a Kaiser Permanente NapaSolano pediatrician and works at the Fairfield Medical Center.

Alyssa Jeske of Medic Ambulance gives a Covid-19 vaccine shot to Joshua McDaniel, 13, at McDonald’s on North Texas Street in Fairfield, June 24.

She is a mom of two daughters, ages 6 and 8. She also put her stamp of approval behind the vaccine during the Zoom conference.

“I’m a parent,” McNeill said.

“I’ll take my white coat off and put on my mom hat. I wouldn’t recommend something for my patients that I wouldn’t do myself as a mother.”

According to statistics provided by Kaiser Permanente, Covid-19 cases in the United

States for children ages 5 to 11 make up 39% of the cases in individuals younger than 18 years of age. More than 1.9 million 5- to 11-yearolds have been infected by Covid-19 during the pandemic and 8,300 have been hospitalized.

As of Oct. 17, 691 deaths from Covid-19 have been reported in the U.S. in individuals younger 18 years of age, with 146 deaths in the 5 through

11 year age group, Kaiser Permanente reported.

The vaccine’s safety was studied during a clinical trial

by Kaiser Permanente with approximately 3,100 children ages 5 through 11. They received the vaccine and no serious side effects have been detected at this point in the ongoing study. The vaccine generated immune responses in these children comparable to those of individuals 16 through

NorthBay Healthcare to offer child vaccinations next week Sutter Health will begin taking appointments soon Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — NorthBay Healthcare is reaching out to parents of its pediatric patients, age 5 to 11, to encourage them to schedule an appointment for a Covid-19 immunization.

“With schools reopening, we are happy to finally be able to offer the vaccine to our young patients, providing further protection for them, their families and for our community,” said NorthBay Chief Medical Officer Dr. Seth Kaufman in a press release.

“The Covid-19 vaccines for kids have been

thoroughly tested and are a lower dose of the already-approved adult vaccine,” said pediatrician Dr. Michael Ginsberg in the same release. “The vaccine is safe and effective and can protect your kids from this dangerous virus.”

NorthBay has received interest from hundreds of parents so far, according to the press release, and has already scheduled the first appointments, which will begin next week.

“At this time, we are only taking appointment requests through our online signup form, which is being sent to parents of our Primary Care pediatric patients,” Rachelle

Hunter, primary care manager, said in the release.

“To express interest in your child the receiving Covid-19 vaccine, please visit www.

N o r t h B a y. o r g / pedscv19 and we KAUFMAN will call you to schedule an appointment.”

P f i z e r - B i o NT e c h Covid-19 vaccines for children will be available at all three NorthBay Center for Primary Care locations, two in Fairfield and one in Vacaville.

“We always want to be tender and caring with pediatric patients, especially when we are administering a vaccine,”

Hunter said in the release. “Sometimes they’re fearful, but once they see a familiar, smiling face it puts them at ease.

Those interactions are important.”

Meanwhile, for Sutter Health patients, a company representative said, “Sutter Health anticipates that we will begin scheduling appointments soon. Parents and guardians should monitor our website for the latest information.”

The Sutter Health website is sutter health.org.

25 years of age, the clinical trial displayed.

The vaccine was found to be 90.7% effective in preventing Covid-19 in children, according to the trial. Study data also show that the vaccine reduces the risk of symptomatic Covid-19 in children if they do become infected.

“The side effects had a similar reaction to adults: mild fatigue, muscle aches and headaches,” Klein said. “We’ve been giving out millions of doses globally of this vaccine and have more experience on it than many others. It has shown to be very safe for children.”

Kaiser Permanente will begin administering the PfizerBioNTech vaccine to this age group as soon as it receives supply from the state and the CDC issues clinical guidance.

“We get those little arms the protection they need,” McNeill said. “We are looking to book appointments as early as (Thursday) and start the process of immunization as early as Monday.”

For children who are 11, the doctors recommend that the smaller, children’s dose is used first to get the protection they need right away.

Fair Haven Commons is being built at 1695 Sunset Ave. with 72 units of affordable housing and half of those units

set aside to assist homeless and near-homeless. The goal for completion is early 2023.

Work begins on Fair Haven Commons affordable housing project in Fairfield Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The vacant lot at 1695 Sunset Ave. in Fairfield is being graded and full construction will soon begin on the affordable housing project known as Fair Haven Commons.

The project has been in the works since 2018.

MidPen Housing of Foster City, a nonprofit developer, has taken the lead.

MidPen’s mission statement is to “provide safe, affordable housing of high quality to those in need and to establish stability and opportunity in the lives of our residents.”

“All construction financing is in place,” confirmed project manager Jesus Morales, senior housing project manager for the city of Fairfield.

“Affordable housing is challenging. It takes a lot of different sources of money. This project has eight different layers of financing.”

The 3.5-acre site currently sits off a small access road from Sunset Avenue and is adjacent to Dover Park. It will consist of 71 affordable apartments, with one unrestricted manager unit, and offer living

space that targets people who earn between 20% and 60% of the area median income.

“In and of itself, it will not solve the affordable housing program,” Morales said. “But it will go a long way in helping to fulfill the need. We’re making great strides in getting this property built.”

The project will consist of six studio units, 30 one-bedroom units, 30 two-bedroom units and six three-bedroom units.

Fifty-one Project Based Vouchers will be provided.

There will be 36 Project Based Voucher units targeted for extremely low- and very low-income households that are either near or experiencing homelessness.

The site layout consists of seven two- and three-story, walk-up residential buildings and one community building.

The residential buildings are wood frame construction, with slab on grade foundation, fiber cement siding and asphalt shingle roofing.

The community building will be wood frame construction, slab on grade with fiber cement siding, and a single-ply roofing. There will be a

total of 80 surface parking stalls, including five van and standard accessible parking spaces.

The community building will include a community room with kitchen, activity room, consultation room, conference room, property management office, services offices, laundry facilities and restrooms.

Other amenities at the site will include two trash enclosures, maintenance shop, secure bike parking shed, active and passive recreation areas (play area and quiet sitting areas), picnic tables with barbecue grill, bike racks, pet relief area, large central landscaped open space with seating/gathering space and space for exercise, and walkways winding throughout the site.

The bike parking structure and the maintenance shop will be concrete masonry unit wall construction with wood-framed roof joists and single-ply roofing.

The project is made possible due to the provision of the 51 Project Based Vouchers by the Fairfield Housing Authority, a donation of the land, $2.2 million in low to moderate area funds,

$1 million in fee credits from the city of Fairfield, and funding from Solano County via No Place Like Home state funds.

Mogavero Architects of Sacramento and Deacon Construction of Citrus Heights are working on the project.

The full list of financiers noted in signage at the site includes the city of Fairfield, the Fairfield Housing Authority, Wells Fargo Bank, California Community Reinvestment Corporation, California Department of Housing and Community Development, Solano County, the Community Action Partnership of Solano JPA, Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee.

Grading began in midOctober with an expected completion date in early 2023.

“It’s great to have a chance to make it happen,” Morales said. “It’s difficult to close on these projects.

It’s almost a Catch 22.

One source of money may not want to commit until another source of money has committed. It’s a lot of money coming from a lot of different sources.”

Council to consider options to rehab tennis courts at Allan Witt Park K aty St. Clair katy@dailyrepublic.com

FAIRFIELD — Tennis and pickleball were on the minds of city residents and City Council members alike Tuesday night.

Assistant Public Works Director Ryan Panganiban gave a presentation about proposed rehabilitation of the tennis courts at Allan Witt Community Park.

Panganiban showed

pictures of the state of the courts, and they are torn up and in need of repair. He presented two options to the council: fix the holes ($156,000) or completely resurface new courts ($1.6 million).

Public comment about the proposed new courts was robust, with the majority of people hoping that Fairfield could bolster its pickleball courts at the same time.

What is pickleball?

The racquet sport is an amalgamation of tennis, ping-pong and badminton. Players use a paddle to lob a light ball similar to a wiffle ball.

Speakers said that it has many fans in Fairfield, with folks waiting in line to play due to limited space availability. Two pickleball courts fit into the space of one tennis court, one resident said,

Ignacio Eleno Padilla ‘Nacho’ Nov. 26, 1956 — Oct. 14, 2021

Nacho passed away unexpectedly Oct. 14, 2021.

He was born in a church in Mexico on Nov 26, 1956.

His family later moved to California, where he played football in Rio Vista and later graduated from Armijo High school.

He married his wife Karen of 40 years and had three children. He worked for cable, Daily Republic and then the school district for many years.

He then retired to become a full-time babysitter for his grandchildren.

Nacho made friends everywhere he went. He loved talking to people, hanging out with his family in his backyard, listening to music and taking cruises all over town.

We were blessed to have him in our lives, he will be missed every

day and never forgotten.

He is survived by his wife, Karen Padilla; children, Sonia (Brandon), William and Ana Padilla; grandchildren, Gabriel, Abraham and Elleana Padilla; father, Francisco Padilla; brothers and sisters, Martha, Joe, James, Rachel and Roberto Padilla; nephews and nieces, Karl Farr, Aleia Falcon, Shannon Guinn, Israel and Daniel Padilla Fuentes; great-nephew, Jose Retiz and many other cousins and family.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Ignacia Padilla; and sisters, Sonia and Susana Padilla.

No service will be held at this time. But Nacho would not want people to cry for him, but to rejoice because he is now with our lord and savior.

The council was open to improving both the tennis courts and making room for the pickleball people as well. Panganiban and City Manager Stefan Chatwin agreed to create a funding proposal for both ideas – the repair option or the total re-do, and bring it back to council.

‘Steele dossier’ source charged with lying to FBI A Russian source who provided information for the so-called “Steele dossier” of questionable evidence about former President Donald Trump’s cozy ties to Russia has been charged with lying to federal investigators.

Igor Danchenko, a Russian citizen who lives in Virginia, is accused of five counts of lying to investigators working for special counsel Robert Durham, who is investigating whether the probe into Trump campaign collusion with the Russians was justified.

Danchenko was expected to appear in federal court later Thursday.

Environmental groups are demanding that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency investigate a noxious

smell emanating from the Dominguez Channel in Carson.

The smells have led to headaches and nausea.

Groups call on EPA to take lead in Carson stench investigation Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — A rotten egg odor continues to hang in the air along the Dominguez Channel in Carson, but measurements from air-quality monitors show the levels of hydrogen sulfide gas have diminished since the noxious stench suddenly emerged last month.

Officials with the South Coast Air Quality Management District said they are continuing to investigate potential sources of the stink along the channel.

“Since the beginning, we have been evaluating petroleum refineries, treatment wastewater facilities, nearby landfills and other types of industrial facilities,” said Terrence Mann, AQMD’s deputy executive officer for compliance and enforcement. He said they are also investigating whether the stinky gas erupted naturally from the channel itself, or whether it might have occurred in combination with other factors.

“We are continuing to work every day to identify and potentially rule out potential sources,” Mann said.

The air agency has been working with officials from Los Angeles County and other agencies, including the federal

Environmental Protection Agency. residents Some have grown concerned, however, insisting that the investigation has failed to get to the bottom of the environmental mystery.

Members of the Wilmington-based Coalition For A Safe Environment held a news conference in Carson on Wednesday calling for federal officials to step up their involvement to pinpoint the origin of the hydrogen sulfide.

“We are all here because there is a crisis going on in the city of Carson,” said Jesse Marquez, the group’s executive director.

Marquez said his organization was compelled to act because citizens in Carson and surrounding South Bay cities have suffered adverse health effects.

“Our concern now is the fact that it’s been four to five weeks,” Marquez said.

He and other members of the group spoke between two homes by the Dominguez Channel, saying it’s time the EPA takes over the investigation, which is currently headed by county agencies.

They held the news conference exactly one

month after residents complained to the South Coast Air Quality Management District of noxious smells that have led to headaches, nausea and other symptoms.

Marquez said he’s not convinced by the theory proposed by county officials that decaying organic material in the channel may be to blame.

“The problem with that is that it takes tons and tons of decaying organic matter and it must also be in a confined space,” Marquez said.

Marquez said three key things need to be investigated: the origin of the hydrogen sulfide in the Dominguez Channel, the possible effects of oil refineries and whether a September earthquake played a role in the smell.

Some steps in the investigation, laid out by Marquez, should include reviewing nearby refineries, checking for corrosion and leaks of toxic chemicals and inspecting abandoned wells.

In the last few weeks, county officials have said the colorless gas would not likely cause long-term or severe health effects, but acknowledged shortterm issues like watery eyes and nausea.

Jill Johnston, University of Southern California assistant pro-

fessor of population and public health sciences, said more health issues are possible.

“Hydrogen sulfide is known to have adverse effects as well as chronic effects” with even shortterm exposure, she said.

Johnston said that along with eye, ear and throat irritation, other reactions can include wheezing, asthmatic and allergic reactions and elevated blood pressure.

Steven Leonido-John, director of the EPA field office in Los Angeles, said his agency has been involved in investigating the smell since about Oct. 18, following requests by Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-San Pedro) and the Carson city government. He said he has participated in daily calls with officials from other agencies and has provided input on the investigation and how to address the odor.

“It’s very, very typical in a situation like this that the local authority, be it the county or a city or the state, would take the lead,” Leonido-John said.

“And that EPA would be there in an advisory role, to provide expertise, to bring in technical experts as necessary.”

“On a daily basis, we are providing input to the See Stench, Page A9

Hutchins’ husband hires LA law firm specializing in wrongful death suits Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — Halyna Hutchins’ husband has hired an L.A.-based law firm that specializes in personal injury and wrongful death suits.

Matthew Hutchins, husband of the late “Rust” cinematographer, has enlisted the legal counsel of Panish Shea Boyle Ravipudi, with Brian Panish acting as lead lawyer, a spokesperson for the family told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday, adding that Hutchins “remains focused on taking care of his son and processing his grief.”

A spokesman for the law firm confirmed that it had been retained by the Hutchins family but declined to comment on any plans to file suit.

“Respecting Mr. Hutchins’ request for privacy as the family grieves the loss of Halyna Hutchins, the firm will not be making any statements at this time,” the firm said.

Matthew Hutchins is himself a lawyer, working in corporate law out of the L.A. office of Latham & Watkins. He previously worked in entertainment law, according to Reuters.

He has a 9-year-old son, Andros.

As the Santa Fe

County Sheriff’s Office and district attorney continue their investigation into the “Rust” production in New Mexico, no criminal charges have yet been filed.

The attorney for Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer responsible for all guns on the “Rust” set, released a statement late Wednesday defending his client’s actions Oct. 21, when a gun held by actor Alec Baldwin was fired during rehearsal of a scene.

“Never in a million years did Hannah think that live rounds could have been in the ‘dummy’ Round box,” said Gutierrez Reed’s attorney,

Jason Bowles. “Who put those in there and why is the central question.”

The statement added that Gutierrez Reed handed the firearm to assistant director Dave Halls, “spinning the cylinder and showing him all of the rounds and then handing him the firearm.”

The new statement followed appearances on morning news programs in which Gutierrez Reed’s attorneys floated the possibility of sabotage and suggested that someone intentionally smuggled live rounds of ammunition into a box of dummy rounds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You hate to think of yourself as complicated, but there’s no getting around it: All humans are. Any time you spend figuring out your partic-

ular needs will save you from wasting time on what cannot fulfill you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

In some instances, keeping the sacredness of your inner life to yourself is healthy for a relationship, and sometimes it’s not.

Caring enough to cautiously consider what is best to share is, in itself, a sign of love.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio and Sagittarius are zodiac neighbors who share a certain boldness.

Gifted with abundant courage, they inspire each other to fly, make change happen, see the world and pursue ambitious goals. They also have the potential to get into meaningless and dangerous games of “chicken” with foolish stakes from which neither wants to back down.

This weekend, they’ll stay productive and fall in love over it.

“You seem to want to encroach,” said resident Jan Hewett. “You have a tourist attraction and you have very fertile land that you can’t replace.”

Many people mentioned the quality of the soil in the valley and the importance of preserving it.

“We need a fourth alternative, please,” said resident Chris Engel, to applause from the audience.

the valley.

“Not one of us would do housing in Suisun Valley,” said Councilwoman Catherine Moy. “We need to slow the roll. We need to take another look at this consultant and see how we can adjust things.”

Councilman Rick Vaccaro agreed.

“The misconception that we actually want to do this is crazy,” he said.

“I know I never said it . . . obviously we need to look at another alternative.”

Discussion of the new General Plan and Suisun Valley was merely a public hearing. No action was taken, though council members agreed that many more people from the city – especially the inner city – need to be heard before any action is taken with Fairfield Forward.

A city’s general plan is its blueprint for future growth.

From Page One measure to a close.

Democrats ultimately did not achieve the Thursday vote that they had initially hoped to hold.

But they still ended the long day on track to bring the $1.75 trillion bill to the House floor as soon as Friday. The timetable would allow them to turn next to a separate, parallel bill to improve the nation’s infrastructure, which they also hope to adopt before the end of the week.

The marathon stretch of legislating began with Pelosi striking a positive note, stressing to reporters that Democrats had made significant progress in resolving some of the thorny policy battles that have long divided them. Months of internecine bickering among the party’s liberal and moderate ranks had produced a newly retooled $1.75 trillion measure, which Pelosi and her top aides believed could come soon to the House floor.

To bring it closer to that vote, however, Pelosi and her fellow Democratic leaders still had to navigate a slew of unresolved issues, some of which have plagued the party for months. Some lawmakers remained uncomfortable with the bill over the way it handles certain policy issues, including immigration, and they huddled privately with the speaker on the House floor and in her office try to hammer out a resolution.

A handful of moderates, meanwhile, requested more time to study its budgetary impact and address roadblocks potential that the bill might later encounter in the Senate.

With some suggesting they were not yet ready to vote for the measure, Pelosi presented them with data showing the bill would not add to the deficit.

By late Thursday, the sum total of Democrats’ efforts appeared to put them on the verge of a breakthrough. Writing her caucus, Pelosi said that they were nearing a final version of the bill with the imminent goal of taking a critical, first procedural step toward bringing it to the floor.

Roads From Page One how old a lot of our pavement is, too.”

The overall conditions on the Bay Area’s nearly 44,000 lane-miles of local streets and roads had a 2020 Pavement Condition Index score of 67 – categorized as “fair” – with Cupertino having the highest rating of 85, followed by Dublin and Palo Alto at 84 apiece, the report states.

The Bay Area as whole had a score of 67 for the prior two years as well.

Pavement Condition Index scores of 80 to

Court From Page One filed against a third person arrested Monday in connection with Beauchamp’s death.

Airman 1st Class Juan E. Parra-Peralta, 20, of Fairfield, serves with the 60th Aerial Port Squadron at Travis Air Force Base. He was taken into custody shortly after 8:35 a.m. Monday at the headquarters for the 60th Air Mobility Wing at the base and was booked into the county jail on suspicion of being an accessory to a murder.

Maj. Amanda Farr,

The developments came not a moment too soon for some Democrats, who had grown exasperated by the slog of the debate in recent days.

“I’m ready to go – most people are ready to go,” said Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J. “If we wait until absolutely everybody is in agreement at precisely the same moment, I worry that we’re going to be waiting forever.”

The renewed legislative frenzy reflected Democrats’ new vigor for adopting Biden’s agenda in the wake of an adverse gubernatorial election in Virginia and a too-closefor-comfort victory in New Jersey. Some say Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe might have prevailed in Virginia’s race if only he could have pointed to his party’s accomplishments in Washington, especially the passage of infrastructure legislation.

Speaking to reporters earlier in the day, Pelosi said she could not assess whether inaction on Capitol Hill had soured the party in the eyes of voters. But, she stressed: “Getting the job done, producing results for the American people, is always very positive.”

The Senate on Thursday also pledged to accelerate its efforts.

Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., opened debate on the chamber floor by noting his hope that lawmakers can complete work on Biden’s spending agenda “before Thanksgiving.”

“We are going to keep pushing to get these great policies over the finish line,” he said.

First, however, the House needed to finalize its work on the $1.75 trillion bill, sorting through a wide array of simmering policy disputes, including unease among Democrats over how to handle immigration. The newly revised bill would allow the government to “parole” undocumented immigrants by giving them five-year work permits that shield them from deportation.

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus mounted a late attempt to secure a pathway for those immigrants to obtain citizenship, much as Democrats had proposed in their original spending legislation. Lawmakers

including Reps. Jesús “Chuy” García, Henry Gomez and Adriano Espaillat huddled late Thursday night for more than an hour with Pelosi, after which Garcia said they would not seek to rewrite the immigration section.

House leaders earlier had told the bloc of lawmakers that there would be no more changes to that portion of the bill, as the debate prepares to shift to the Senate, where the future of its immigration provisions remains at the mercy of the chamber’s parliamentarian.

Because Democrats are trying to pass the bill under a special budget process that prevents the legislation from being filibustered, it can only contain provisions that primarily affect government spending or tax policy. The parliamentarian has already said an earlier immigration proposal did not comply with these rules.

“This is just the battle.

This isn’t the end of the war when it comes to immigration,” said Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif., on Thursday.

“There are so many things in this bill that will benefit immigrant families that we just can’t lose it all because of this one issue.”

A separate skirmish arose over a plan to lift a cap on the state and local tax deduction. Democrats representing high-costs cities and states, including California and New Jersey, have pushed most for the policy – troubling other party lawmakers who see it as a tax cut that chiefly would benefit the wealthy.

By Thursday night, Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and others pushing to rethink the policy known as SALT had not yet resolved the dispute in a way that might satisfy critics across the Capitol, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who this week put forward a more limited proposal. But Gottheimer and other advocates, including Rep. Tom Suozzi, did agree to a new proposal that would raise the SALT deduction cap to $80,000 until 2031, after which it would be reimposed at $10,000, according to two people familiar with the plan who requested anonymity to describe the private talks.

And Democrats further agreed to tweaks to satisfy moderates including Rep. Scott Peters, D-Calif., on the contentious issue of drug pricing reform. The new agreement essentially delayed the ability of Medicare to negotiate prices on some category of drugs by another year, the two sources said.

Resolving these and other policy fights is critical, since any delay in bringing the measure before the House would further stall a second, separate effort to improve the nation’s roads, bridges, pipes, ports and Internet connections. The $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill has been stuck in the House since it passed the Senate in August, as liberals have held up its adoption while they seek to negotiate the rest of Biden’s spending priorities with centrists including Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va. The left-leaning bloc has said both bills must move in tandem to win their critical support, a position Pelosi appeared to affirm Thursday.

Asked if she would move infrastructure alone, she replied: “No.” But the speaker’s approach also rankled some moderates within her own caucus. Roughly a dozen centrists told party leaders in recent days they needed more time to study the revised $1.75 trillion bill, evaluate its budgetary impact, address policy issues including immigration and ensure the full package actually can pass the Senate, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of requested anonymity to describe private talks.

The sources cautioned the situation is rapidly changing, and moderates’ reasons for concern appear to vary. Many members do not appear opposed to the spending initiative, people familiar with their thinking said, they just want more time to process its implications.

Some of the data that may assuage centrists arrived Thursday: An official score released by the Joint Committee on Taxation, which analyzes the revenue effects of legislation on Capitol Hill, found that the bill would raise about $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years.

89 place a jurisdiction’s roads in the very good category. Solano County scored an 80, which was down from the 81 received the previous two years.

Solano County, when all 3,652 lane-miles of local roads and streets are calculated, had a score of 68, which rates as “fair” and ties with Alameda County as the fifth highest score among the nine Bay Area counties, the report states.

Solano’s score was 68 in 2018 and 67 in 2019, the report states.

The lowest-scoring county was Sonoma with a 55 (at-risk), while the lowest-scoring single jurisdiction was Pacifica

(42), which is considered “poor.” Vallejo’s score was 49, down from 52 for the two previous years, the report states.

“Roadways with PCI scores of 50 to 59 are deemed ‘at-risk,’ while those with PCI scores of 25 to 49 are considered ‘poor.’ These roads require major rehabilitation or reconstruction,” the report states.

Vacaville (697.2 miles) scored a 70, up from 68 in 2018 and 69 in 2019; Fairfield (772.3 miles) scored a 69, down from 71 in 2018 and 72 in 2019; Dixon (143.6 miles) scored a 64, down from 66 in 2018 and 65 in 2019; Rio Vista (46 miles) scored a 59, down from

61 in 2018 and 63 in 2019; Suisun City (153.6 miles) scored a 59, down from 62 in 2018 and 61 in 2019; and Benicia (198 miles) scored a 51, down from 64 in 2018 and 52 from 2019, the report states.

a spokeswoman for the base, said Tuesday that Parra-Peralta posted bail Monday, was released to his first sergeant and is back on duty pending criminal proceedings in the case.

Parra-Peralta came to the U.S. from Colombia in 2014 when he was 13 years old, according to information previously release by the base.

Fairfield police took a missing persons report Saturday evening concerning Beauchamp, who was last seen early that morning at a Halloween party in Sacramento.

Beauchamp is reported to have left with two men, both active duty Air Force members

living in a residence on Cascade Lane in Fairfield, according to a police press release.

Fairfield police officers and members of the Travis Air Force Base’s Office of Special Investigation worked together and determined a homicide occurred at the residence on Cascade Lane, according to the press release.

Fairfield detectives also worked with the Monterey County Sheriff’s Department and found Beauchamp’s remains in a rural area between Monterey and Salinas.

Police confirmed Tuesday afternoon that Jessica and Marco Quintanilla are brother

and sister.

Parra-Peralta lives at the Cascade Lane address with another airman. The name of that airman was not released because he is not involved in the investigation, police report.

Beauchamp’s death is Fairfield’s eighth reported homicide of 2021.

Beauchamp’s Facebook page shows her hometown as Sacramento and that she studied at Monterey Peninsula College.

Those who have not been contacted by a detective and have information about this case are asked to call the Investigations Bureau at 707-428-7600.

Justice Department sues Texas to block portions of new voting, elections law Tribune Content Agency AUSTIN, Texas — The U.S. Department of Justice sued Texas in federal court Thursday to block several portions of the state’s sweeping voting and elections law known as Senate Bill 1.

The challenged provisions – setting identification requirements for mail-in voting and limiting polling place help for voters with disabilities or those with limited English proficiency – “will disenfranchise eligible Texas citizens who seek to exercise their right to vote,” the lawsuit argued.

“These vulnerable voters already confront barriers to the ballot box, and SB 1 will exacerbate the challenges they face in exercising their fundamental right to vote,” the lawsuit said.

SB 1, signed into law

by Abbott on Sept. 7, will take effect Dec. 2.

The Republicandrafted legislation was the focus of some of the most intensely partisan battles in the Legislature this year, prompting House Democrats to walk out on two occasions to break quorum and deny passage.

Republicans insisted SB 1’s provisions were required to bolster confidence in election results, while Democrats said the bill was unnecessarily restrictive, setting burdens to voting that were inspired by lies that fraud led to Donald Trump’s defeat in 2020.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Antonio, took issue with two sections of the bill:

Stench From Page A5 interagency group that is looking at this,” he added.

The levels of hydrogen sulfide measured by the flood-control channel last month were unprecedented, said Jason Low, head of AQMD’s air monitoring division.

“Once we found out where the largest area of hydrogen sulfide emissions was for this incident, we had placed a hydrogen sulfide monitor nearby that location.”

On Oct. 14, Low said that location was at 213th and Chico streets in Carson.

The highest hourly average measured was about 7,000 parts per billion overnight on Oct. 16 and 17, Low said.

“For context, that’s about 230 times the nuisance standard established for California,” Low said.

It’s also far above the highest levels that have been measured in recent years at the Salton Sea – about 250 parts per billion. Hydrogen sulfide sometimes fills the air near the shrinking lake as decaying algae and other matter on the lake bottom are disturbed by winds.

One such event in 2012 sent the odor of rotten eggs wafting across much of Southern California.

The highest level measured during that event, which was dubbed the “big stink,” was about 150 parts per billion, Low said. The levels in Carson were much higher, albeit in a smaller area.

The levels tend to rise at night and decrease in the day, Low said. Since mid-October, the concentrations have been declining. On Wednes-

n First, SB 1 requires those who provide help to voters with disabilities or limited understanding of English to sign an oath, under penalty of perjury, stating that the voter was eligible for assistance and that the helper did not answer questions from the voter or pressure the voter into seeking their help.

“SB 1 prohibits assistors from answering voter’s questions, a explaining the voting process, paraphrasing complex language, and providing other forms of voting assistance that some qualified voters require to cast an informed and effective vote,” the lawsuit said. n Second, the lawsuit challenged SB 1’s requirement that voters provide a driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number as identification.

The Texas law requires voting clerks to reject applications for a mail-in ballot that contain identification numbers that do not match what was provided on a voter application, sometimes years earlier.

The new law also requires the identification number on a mail-in ballot’s envelope to match the number provided on a voter’s registration.

The lawsuit seeks a court order invalidating the voter-assistant provision as a violation of the Voting Rights Act, which protects a voter’s right to assistance “by reason of blindness, disability or inability to read or write.”

day evening, the hourly level by the Dominguez Channel had dropped to below 60 parts per billion.

The AQMD has other air-quality monitors in surrounding communities, and nearby oil refineries also have monitors at their fences. ”What we’ve seen is that the levels, as you go away from that central area in Carson at the Dominguez Channel, really decrease a lot,” Low said. “And that’s both within the nearby community monitors as well as some of the fence-line monitors that are at the refineries.”

The agency’s officials have also measured the air for volatile organic compounds and other toxic pollutants associated with oil-related air pollution. They said their findings thus far don’t indicate elevated levels of those pollutants.

“We haven’t 100% ruled out any of the nearby sources,” Mann said. “We are continuing to look

Leukemia-causing benzene found in underarm sprays Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Antiperspirant and deodorant body sprays have been found to contain elevated levels of the carcinogen benzene and should be recalled, an independent testing lab said in a petition filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration late Wednesday.

The sprays are the latest in a string of aerosol products found to contain the cancercausing chemical, including sunscreens and antifungals. Earlier this year, Johnson & Johnson recalled certain aerosol sunscreen sprays under the brands Neutrogena and Aveeno. Beiersdorf AG recalled some Coppertone sunscreen sprays in September. The next month, Bayer AG pulled certain Lotrimin and Tinactin sprays used for athlete’s foot and jock itch after tests showed some samples contained benzene.

The efforts to get the contaminated products off of shelves came after Valisure, an independent testing lab in New Haven, Connecticut, alerted the FDA to its findings of benzene in sun care products in May. Valisure followed up in recent months by testing 108 batches of antiperspirant and deodorant sprays from 30 brands and detected benzene in 59 batches at levels as much as triple the amount it found in sunscreens and detailed in the petition to the FDA. Antiperspirant sprays from Procter & Gamble Co. brands Old Spice and Secret contained the highest levels of benzene. An antiperspirant spray from Walmart Inc.’s Equate brand and under every rock and consider every possible potential other source, or if not a source, contributing factor to the incident.”

County public works officials have said the hydrogen sulfide gas likely was created by organic material clogging the channel. They have been spraying the channel with a biodegradable neutralizer.

The decreasing levels of hydrogen sulfide indicate that these efforts are having a positive impact, said Leonido-John of the EPA. Local officials have also been receiving fewer odor complaints.

“Everything that I have seen, that they have shown us, definitely points to the issue being directly related to the Dominguez Channel,” Leonido-John said.

Factors might include things like leaves that have collected in the canal, along with stormwater runoff from streets in the industrial area, washing material into the waterway.

Antiperspirant sprays from Procter & Gamble Co. brands Old Spice and Secret were found to contain the highest levels of benzene among contaminated aerosol products from various manufacturers in a petition filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration late Wednesday. one from Unilever PLC’s Suave were also high on the list. Most of the sprays that Valisure found to contain benzene were meant only for underarms, though the lab did find some benzene in a Victoria’s Secret & Co. spray deodorant meant to be used all over the body and a Summer’s Eve spray from Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. meant for the vaginal area.

The companies and the FDA didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. P&G fell 0.7% at 9:43 a.m. in New York trading, and Unilever dropped 1.1% in London.

Valisure found that products that contained butane were most likely to have elevated benzene levels. Those that used alcohol as a propellant instead were least likely to be contaminated with the carcinogen.

David Light, chief executive officer of Valisure, said he’s concerned the contamination may be coming from the raw materials companies use as propellants, such as butane and propane that are petroleum dis-

tillates produced by refining crude oil.

“Butane is lighter fluid,” Light said.

“Propane is the same thing you use to light your grill. These gases come out of the ground, as benzene does as well.

Benzene is a known contaminant of these products. It seems likely these propellants are the source.”

It’s difficult to track and ensure the purity of raw materials even in pharmaceutical products.

Consumer goods, meanwhile, are more lightly regulated by the FDA. The pharmaceutical industry has been dealing with its own contamination problem related to probable carcinogens called nitrosamines and mutagenic impurities called azidos that have been found in drugs over the last few years stemming from side chemical reactions that are sometimes the result of raw materials that aren’t properly purified.

The FDA doesn’t have a clear benzene threshold in products. Its guidance for drugs is that benzene

levels can reach up to 2 parts per million only if its use in manufacturing is unavoidable for a product that represents a significant therapeutic advance. Valisure has asked the FDA to set clear benzene guidance.

Valisure found benzene levels up to almost 18 parts per million in the antiperspirant and deodorant sprays. Yale University’s Chemical and Biophysical Instrumentation Center confirmed the presence of benzene in a sampling of the sprays through separate tests. Valisure also found spray products that didn’t contain any detectable benzene, including a deodorant from Sanofi’s Gold Bond and antiperspirants from Unilever’s Axe and Degree.

Valisure first detected benzene in consumer products in March when it tested hand sanitizers. The benzene levels were particularly high in those that came on the market to fill a gap when supplies of the cleansers ran low at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It’s possible the benzene in hand sanitizers may have been introduced during the manufacturing process when germ-killing alcohol is purified.

Alcohol is also sometimes used as a propellant in aerosols.

Artnaturals contained the highest levels of benzene Valisure found in hand sanitizers. The FDA said last month it tested Artnaturals hand sanitizers and also found benzene as well as other contaminants. The agency advised consumers in early October not to use any Artnaturals products.

Judge questions Trump push to block records from Jan. 6 panel Tribune Content Agency A federal judge sounded skeptical Thursday of former President Donald Trump’s request to halt a House select committee from getting most of the White House records it has requested in an investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by his supporters.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington heard arguments from lawyers for Trump, the Justice Department and the House as she weighs the former president’s lawsuit to stop the transmission of documents from the National Archives and Records Administration, or NARA. NARA said it would turn over the first batch on Nov. 12 absent a court order. Chutkan said Thursday that she would rule quickly on Trump’s motion for an injunction.

The House Jan. 6 panel requested records related to dozens of people, both in and out of the Trump administration.

That includes Trump and his family members, as well as “any documents and communications involving White House personnel and any Member of Congress” related to the Jan. 6 attack or the validity of the presidential election.

Chutkan raised con-

Death toll in Lagos building collapse rises LAGOS, Nigeria — The death toll from a collapse of a high-rise building in Nigeria’s commercial capital Lagos has risen to at least 36, after more bodies were pulled from the piles of concrete and mangled steel.

The death toll had stood at 22 on Wednesday and no further survivors were found in the rubble in the past day.

Nine people have been rescued alive since the accident on Monday afternoon in the Lagos luxury district of Ikoyi, said Ibrahim Farinloye, acting Coordinator of the SouthWest National Emergency Management Agency.

Pope names woman to lead governorate ROME — Pope Francis has for the first time appointed a woman to a high office in the state administration of Vatican City.

Sister Raffaella Petrini was named secretary-general of the governorate of Vatican City, the Holy See announced Thursday.

She is the first woman to hold the second-highest office in governorate, which oversees the Vatican Museums and other Vatican State services such as the mint and stamp office and the motor pool.

Members of the House select committee investigating the deadly pro-Trump invasion of the U.S. Capitol meet in a room ahead of the first hearing in the Cannon House Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., July 27. cerns to the House about the scope of some of the committee’s requests, such as certain polling data and documents from 40 people that stretch back as far as April 2020, which she called “unbelievably broad.”

These communications could be about unrelated things, including conversations with foreign

leaders or about national security, Chutkan said.

House General Counsel Doug Letter told Chutkan that the requests are broad, but the scope of an investigation is for Congress to decide. “It would be startling for you to tell Congress, ‘I know better than you what you need, you don’t need that,’” Letter said.

The committee wants to know how much of an effort to discredit the results of the 2020 election came from inside the White House, or from members of Congress, or from outside groups such as the Proud Boys, Letter said.

“How broad was this whole problem we now face? Where did it come from?” Letter said. “We want to make sure this never happens again and that means going way before Jan. 6 itself.”

And Letter underscored that President Joe Biden, who as holder of the office of the president has the power to determine what should be covered by executive privilege, has told NARA to turn over the records to the committee.

Trump has asserted executive privilege over some of the documents, as well as a protective assertion of executive

privilege over any additional materials that the Jan. 6 panel requests.

Letter said that if Trump wants to raise concerns about executive privilege of documents, he can do so with Biden, “but that’s not a question here for this court.”

Chutkan said she “would be on stronger footing” to limit the scope of the committee’s request if Biden had disagreed with Congress on the executive privilege claims.

The judge had sharper questions for Trump’s lawyer, Justin Clark, who said there were constitutional questions in the case — the first lawsuit in which a former president has disagreed with a current president about executive privilege claims.

Clark told Chutkan that she should do a documentby-document review of the privilege claims and

that allowing the request to go forward would “open the door to partisanship of document requests and blow a hole in executive privilege.” Not blocking the release of records now would mean damage that couldn’t be undone if Trump has the better of that question, Clark said.

But the judge said that while that is a dispute between a former and current president, she didn’t see a separationof-powers issue for her to weigh in on because the executive and legislative branches agree on this request.

Chutkan also said she didn’t see any language in a law or any case that convinces her that courts are required to get involved in this situation and do a document-by-document review. decision Chutkan’s likely won’t be the last word since the losing side could appeal.

The San Francisco Giants’ Buster Posey follows through on a swing for a two-run home run during the first inning against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park, Oct. 8, in San Francisco. Posey announced his retirement in a press conference, Thursday.

Buster Posey was at Oracle Park’s club level Thursday afternoon to announce his retirement as a baseball player.

The 34-year-old, who helped the Giants win three World Series titles, is coming off his seventh All-Star season after opting out in 2020 to care for his family. Posey and his wife, Kristen, had

adopted twin baby girls, Ada and Livvi, born prematurely during the pandemic. The couple has another set of twins, Lee and Addison, who are 10.

Here’s what Posey said at Thursday’s news conference: “As you know,” he began, “I’m here today announcing that I’m retiring.”

Appearing at the dais with his wife

and Giants executives Farhan Zaidi, Larry Baer and Greg Johnson, Posey read from an extensive statement and at first spoke about Kristen and recalled her cheering in the crowd during baseball games at Lee County High School in Georgia.

“First I’d like to thank the woman sitting up here with me today, Kristen,” Posey said. “Most impor-

tantly, thank you for being an amazing mom to our kids, thank you for the love and support from the first game to the last.

“Thanks for being there with me to celebrate all the great moments. I think even more importantly thanks for being there on some of the lower ones.

Mustangs make return to SJS playoffs after 10-year drought Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — While Rodriguez High has been playing varsity football for just 20 years, it’s been around long enough to have a “back in the day.”

Back in the day, when first year coach Myles King was a starting quarterback, making the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs was a given.

The Mustangs won Solano County Athletic Conference titles in 2006 and 2008, finishing second in 2007 before going on that year to win the FairfieldSuisun School District’s first section football title since Armijo won a Central Section crown in 1936.

Rodriguez went on to make the SJS playoffs in 2009, ’10 and ’11, altogether a string of six straight postseason appearances.

Then the drought hit, the postseason rain dried up. None of the five coaches over the next nine years could

manage a winning season or come close to gaining a playoff berth.

But with the 2021 Mustangs getting off to a best-ever 6-0 start and eventually finishing 7-3, they’re back in the dance, seeded 10th in Division III and playing Friday at No. 7 Christian Brothers of Sacramento (6-4).

Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

“It feels like the drought is over and a big weight lifted off of our back,” Myles said.

“We know we have to continue to work and stay locked in because the tournament is just beginning.”

King, who quarterbacked the Mustangs to their last playoff win in 2008 and returned to coach the Rodriguez JV team before being named varsity coach this year, gives the credit to his players for this year’s success.

“They worked extremely hard and bought into the system and plan that our staff See Mustangs, Page B10

Armijo, Mr. Kenny, used to read stories to the class. He read one story that was riddled with “the N word.” I can’t imagine a teacher reading such a story today. The characters, the story, the context and the themes wouldn’t matter.

All that would matter is one word. You see this eggshell walking and hand-wringing in the Virginia gubernatorial race, where the Republican candidate is terrified that Toni Morrison’s book “Beloved” will reach teenage eyes. In Texas, the GOP is fear-mongering over LGBTQ books. We need to stop being afraid of words.

Of course, too often people who lament political correctness just want to be able to indulge their bigotry and hateful remarks with no consequence. I’m not down for that. But in many cases, we’ve gone too far in our pursuit of being sensitive. We’ve bled away context and made words bad. No need in understanding the context when we can just cancel the words themselves, right?

This isn’t making for a more understanding society. It’s just sowing verbal landmines and setting up conflict. For what?

Context matters. Peace.

Millions of dollars are already being spent by the sponsors of the four measures and they’ve commenced hostilities with dueling public relations campaigns in advance of what promises to be a tsunami of television and online advertising to persuade voters to choose one over the others.

It would surprise no one if hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on the campaigns next year, because the millions would be pocket lint compared to the billions of wagering dollars that would flow through the hands of whichever interests can claim legal authority.

That said, it’s also possible that the campaigns will be short-circuited by a political deal. Those who sponsor ballot measures can remove them from the ballot if their demands are met by legislation.

Given the years of legislative stalemate on the issue, it’s difficult to see the competing interests agreeing to divvy up the pie, but it’s not impossible.

Hanks battles the elements alone.

Didn’t he do this in ‘Cast Away’?

Yes, but now it’s the apocalypse!

Crossword

Nina Metz

Chicago Tribune

A

surprisingly upbeat apocalyptic tale, “Finch” stars Tom Hanks in the title role as a man who, sensing his days are numbered, builds an android to look after his dog.

Judging by the barren landscape empty of life (human or otherwise) and his own wheezing and coughing, Finch’s last breath probably isn’t too far off.

But until then, it’s Tom Hanks versus the elements – including his own frazzled psyche – and if that sounds familiar, like a dystopian version of “Cast Away,” well, the film itself doesn’t offer many counterpoints in this solo survival story of a man who manages to retain a modicum of humor and ingenuity even as he stares down his own mortality.

Set in the near future (the abandoned cars and dusty landscape look recognizably now-ish), the Earth – or at least St. Louis, where the story initially takes place – has become uninhabitable thanks to a deteriorating ozone layer no longer offering protection from the sun’s UV radiation. There’s not another soul around, only a robotics engineer (Hanks in amiable Hanksian mode) who spends his days driving around singing along to “American Pie” and donning a kind of space suit and helmet that allows him to venture out safely into the sunlight. He goes from empty storefront to empty storefront, scrounging for any remaining food and supplies, stopping to spray paint “cleared” on the outside of each building after rifling through its contents. Then he heads back to his warehouse bunker, where he lives with his scruffy dog, Goodyear.

Finch’s setup looks pretty decent, all (dire) things considered. He apparently has access to fresh water and a power source that keeps the lights on and the fridge running. A turntable plays records while he tinkers over a bipedal robot (CGI and voiced by Caleb Landry Jones) that he has built for a specific purpose: To care for and feed Goodyear after Finch is dead and gone. Yes, this is the movie’s plot. I suppose there have been worse.

Originally scheduled for a theatrical release last year, the pandemic complicated those plans so much so that Universal finally threw up its hands and sold the film to Apple TV+.

Director Miguel Sapochnik (known primarily for his Emmy-winning work on “Game of Thrones”) hasn’t found a visually distinctive look for the film, nor has he shaped the narrative into an arc that hits you in the gut at key moments.

Tom Hanks stars as one of the last humans on earth in “Finch,” a apocalyptical drama about a man, his dog and the robot he builds (voiced by Caleb Landry Jones) to care for his mutt once he’s dead and gone.

Review ‘Finch’ Rated PG-13 115 minutes

(out of four)

he’s a pro at this sort of thing, more or less conversing with himself in a cranky-avuncular fashion, but the story is as thin as that disappearing ozone layer of the premise: Finch envisions no endgame beyond ensuring there’s someone to open a can of food every day for his dog.

Bad weather means Finch & Co. are forced to seek out a more hospitable locale, so they climb into a souped-up RV and hit the road, and even though there’s a humanoid along for the ride, Finch doesn’t seem particularly sucked into the illusion that he now has a friend in Jeff to commune with. We know this because he’s a self-proclaimed loner and says things like, “You have one job: Take care of this dog. It’s the only reason I made you, it’s the only reason you exist. I don’t need companionship, I don’t need a friend – I need you to do your job.” But he has equipped Jeff with the kind of artificial intelligence that allows him to not only intuit and experience human emotions, but to do very humanlike things like gesture or flinch or look down when he hears something sad. That this android would be sentient and actually register Finch’s annoyance and anger seems like an incredibly sophisticated if pointless technological achievement, considering Jeff’s existence is intended for no other purpose than doggy day care.

Though not originally produced with streaming in mind, “Finch” absolutely feels like it was designed by algorithm. A chatty Tom Hanks on his own against the odds?

Check. A cute dog as his loyal companion? Check. An anthro-

pomorphic robot that grows up, Pinocchio-style, to become a real boy? Check. A sci-fi facade for a story that turns out to be little more than prepper hagiography? Check. And I’m sure a company like Boston Dynamics is more than happy to see Hollywood portray robots of this type as sweet and childlike – a pal to man and dog alike – rather than potentially violent tools of the state.

Jeff is naif-like and eager to please and this forever exasperates his maker – “I know you were born yesterday, but it’s time for you to grow up!” Finch barks – but at least screenwriters Craig Luck and Ivor Powell gave Jeff a personality. Goodyear is simply: Dog. Likes to chase after a tossed ball and fall asleep in Finch’s arms and he’s a nice enough presence but generically so, with no discernible personality of his own.

Take that in for a moment: The only creature Finch has had around for company – whose very existence inspired all of these exhaustive efforts – isn’t a character so much as a plot device.

This is consistent with most American TV and film, where there’s often a staged quality to the interactions between humans and dogs, as if you could sense the animal handler coaching from off-camera. This is not how domesticated animals move through and experience the world, no matter how well-behaved. Am I more interested in the dog than whatever else “Finch” is doing?

Yes, because when a filmmaker gets it right, it can feel so unexpected and remarkably moving. We’re supposed to be wrapped up in this man’s love for his dog, but we never get a sense of their relationship beyond a few games of fetch.

Anyone who has pets knows they are more than just blank, cuddly bodies of fur. They wander at will and have curiosities and desires and emotions all their own.

I suspect even an apocalypse wouldn’t change that.

Bridge

DOES THE GAMBLER WIN OR LOSE? Ambrose Bierce, in “The Devil’s Dictionary,” claims: “The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling.”

In bridge, we have an opening bid with the word “gambling” in its name.

Look at the South hand in today’s diagram. After a pass on your right, what would you do?

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder At Bridge Base Online, 12 players bid one diamond. One began with two diamonds, presumably trying for a spot in Guinness World Records for the strongest-ever suit for a weak two-bid.

Another opened three diamonds, perhaps also hoping for a Guinness listing. Only two of us started with a Gambling Three No-trump. Our bid showed a completely solid seven- or eight-card minor and no side ace, king or void.

North then had to decide if she wished to gamble by passing. The contract might be anything from overtricks to down several. The low road is a response of four clubs, which partner passes with clubs or corrects to four diamonds.

My intrepid partner and wife characteristically passed.

How should the defense have gone?

At the time, West led the heart six. I imagined I was going down, when unexpectedly I took the first trick with my heart queen! While I ran my diamonds, both defenders discarded a spade, so I ended with 12 tricks and a top.

The textbook recommends leading an ace (even if unsupported) against this opening bid, giving you a look at the dummy. Here, West shifts to the club eight. Then the defenders can take two hearts and five clubs for down three – only six tricks better!

Kurt Iswarienko/Showtime/TNS

Michael C. Hall is back as the Robin Hood killer in “Dexter: New Blood” premiering on Showtime Sunday.

Why ‘Dexter’ needed to kill again Tribune Content Agency Dexter Morgan wants a do-over. You can’t blame him. Even diehard fans despised the supposed end of his adventures in 2013, especially that parting shot in which we learned that TV’s most ethical serial killer had ended up as a lumberjack.

Now comes “Dexter: New Blood,” a 10-episode series debuting Sunday on Showtime that’s as much of an apology as it is a new chapter.

“I think the way the series ended has a great deal to do with why we’re revisiting the show and the character,” said lead actor Michael C. Hall, who has earned five Emmy nominations for playing the title role. “The show did not end in a way that was definitive for people or gave anybody a sense of closure. We didn’t hear from Dexter. He didn’t say anything to us when the show ended. I think it left audiences, if nothing else, in a sense of suspended animation. I think a big part of our motivation was to definitively answer the question: ‘What happened to this guy?’”

Here’s what: After chopping wood in Oregon, he’s set down roots in a small New York town that couldn’t be more different from his former home in Miami. Instead of cruising the Atlantic Ocean in his fishing boat, he’s feeding goats.

His Mayberry lifestyle includes a new girlfriend – the local chief of police – and visits from his sister’s ghost, who helps keep him from answering his inner demons.

But Morgan can only be a good boy for so long.

“Of course, this is Dexter. People are going to die,” said original showrunner Clyde Phillips, who has returned for the revival. “He will find himself struggling

with the urge, struggling with his dark passenger, struggling with the fact that he was born in blood, and finally give in to that struggle. But the whole point is to put him in this tiny town so that everybody he passes is a potential victim. He’s really got to do the work to find who deserves a stab, as we would say.”

In addition to temptation, Morgan has to deal with the sudden appearance of his son, Harrison, whom he abandoned when the boy was just 5 years old.

“Dexter has a lot of work to do to win his son back and prove that he’s a good father,” Phillips said during a virtual news conference with cast members.

Persuading Hall to return to his most famous character also took some work. Not that the actor had ever abandoned the idea.

“Occasionally he would be interviewed somewhere, and somebody would ask about ‘Dexter’ coming back, and he wouldn’t deny it,” Phillips said. “I would see it and call him and we would talk about a couple of things. But the timing was never right for Michael.And it had to be. It had to be right for Michael, Michael’s psyche, Mike’s character, Michael as an actor, as a man.”

Hall, who spent part of the past eight years doing the Broadway musical “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” said he entertained all kinds of pitches. His mom even floated the idea that the character would be in a monastery, meditating 10 hours a day.

“Honestly, I think from the day the show ended until we started this revisitation, it’s been percolating,” Hall said. It’s been somewhat of a conscious, maybe unconscious, preoccupation. There’s been a sense of it being unfinished business.”

Google strikes deal with CME as exchange moves to cloud Tribune Content Agency CME Group and Alphabet Inc.’s Google struck a deal to help the derivatives exchange operator with its technology needs and a plan to move all of its operations to the cloud.

As part of the agreement, Google also made a $1 billion equity investment in a new series of non-voting convertible preferred stock of CME Group, the companies said Thursday in a statement.

The 10-year partnership will allow CME to first move its data and clearing services to Google Cloud, then eventually its trading and other markets.

“This partnership will enable CME Group to bring new products and services to market faster,” CME Chief Executive Officer Terry Duffy said in the statement. Google Cloud will help CME increase access for more market participants and provide news tools for developing algorithms and risk management.

Chicago-based CME appointed Ken Vroman to a new role as chief transformation officer to help with the transition. The two companies said they will explore ways to work together on innovations for CME Group’s customers.

The move is the latest among the exchange businesses including Nasdaq Inc. and Cboe Global Markets Inc. that have started to expand into cloud-based software and

data analytics.

“Exchanges are moving towards data and other recurring revenue streams, rather than just relying upon trading revenue, and getting those tools in a quicker, more efficient manner is an important step,” Kevin Heal an analyst at Argus Research Corp., said in an interview.

Industry Changes Exchanges offer services including price quotes and trades that occur over milliseconds.

CME and others have expanded to offer data, portfolio management and other services that help investors make more informed decisions. CME allows its customers to trade futures, options, cash and over-the-counter markets.

Cloud computing, which allows companies to outsource computer processing and data storage to the big tech firms rather than operating the systems in-house, has been one of the fastest-growing areas of the technology industry. But Google’s cloud business lags behind market leader Amazon.com Inc. as well as Microsoft Corp. and China’s Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. In its earnings report last week, CEO Sundar Pichai said Google Cloud has “continued momentum,” but the unit fell short of revenue expectations in the third quarter.

Workers for larger firms must be vaccinated by Jan. 4 Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — People who work for companies with 100 or more employees must be fully vaccinated by Jan. 4 or undergo weekly testing for Covid-19, according to final rules announced Thursday by the Biden administration.

The rule is expected to impact 84 million workers nationwide, the White House estimates.

Workers will be considered fully vaccinated when they’ve received either two doses of Pfizer or Moderna or one dose of Johnson & Johnson.

The federal rule will not require businesses to provide or pay for tests for workers who choose not to get vaccinated, though employers may be required to pay for testing because of “other laws” or collective bargaining agreements, according to a White House fact sheet.

Businesses will be required to provide paid time off for employees to get vaccinated and to recover if they get sick from a vaccine shot.

Unvaccinated employees won’t be allowed to work if they test positive for the virus and will be required to wear a mask while at work even if they test negative.

“Higher vaccination rates protect our workers, reduce hospitalizations and deaths,” a senior administration official told reporters Wednesday night. “This is good for workers, and, importantly, this is good for the economy.”

There will be a 30-day

President Joe Biden receives a booster vaccination shot for Covid-19 in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House Complex in Washington, D.C., Sept. 27. window for employers to implement the policy once the final rule is published in the Federal Register later this week.

The rule for large businesses, issued by the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, will align with a similar rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services that requires workers at health care facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid to be fully vaccinated. The White House estimates the rule will impact 17 million workers at around 76,000 health care facilities around the country.

The administration is also moving the deadline for federal contractors from Dec. 8 to Jan. 4 to align with the other rules to simplify the transition for companies that have employees falling under multiple rules, the officials said.

OSHA will enforce the vaccine-or-test mandate by targeting efforts on

workplaces that have received complaints and will also have planned inspections to make sure businesses are complying, officials said, which is similar to how the agency enforces other rules.

Any penalties would depend on the scope and severity of non-compliance, the officials said.

For example, a standard penalty for a single violation would be nearly $14,000. For a “willful violation” of the rules, the amount would jump to nearly $137,000.

Attorneys general from 18 states filed three lawsuits last week against the vaccine mandate for federal contractors and asked a federal judge to block the implementation of the rule. Multiple states have also pledged to challenge the rule for large businesses when it is issued.

Administration officials argued Wednesday evening that the Department of Labor has “broad” authority to issue the mandate under safety

rules that allow the agency to issue new standards in emergencies when workers are “subjected to a grave danger.”

“A virus that has killed more than 745,000 Americans, with more than 70,000 new cases per day currently, is clearly a health hazard that poses a grave danger to workers,” another administration official told reporters.

Many Republicans in Congress have also argued that President Joe Biden is overstepping his authority by issuing the mandate, including Rep. John Moolenaar of Midland, who sits on the powerful House Appropriations Committee.

Moolenaar introduced a bill on Tuesday that would bar the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education from using federal funds to administer Covid-19 vaccine requirements. The bill is co-sponsored by 17 Republicans on the committee. simply “There’s nothing in the Constitution that allows the federal government to impose this mandate on private businesses and my bill will cut off funding for the Department of Labor to enforce it,” Moolenaar said in a statement.

“Businesses are struggling with supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and higher costs for gas and electricity. The last thing businesses need is the federal government burdening them with more costs and making it harder for them to retain and hire workers.”

Mustangs: To play From Page B1 laid out for them,” the coach said. “By no means has it been perfect, but I wouldn’t trade this special season for anything.”

King is hoping this “special season” leads to others – and to making the postseason an annual event.

“I think the postseason experience will be huge for all of the underclassmen going into the offseason, now understanding the new standard set by this amazing senior class,” King said.

The coach also knows his team is at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to playoff experience as the Falcons have made the postseason nine straight seasons, though they haven’t won in the playoffs since 2017.

“Of course, any coach would love to have a team full of playoff experience in a perfect world, but at the end of the day all you can ask for is a ticket to the tournament,” King said.

“Us as a coaching staff

have constantly reminded the kids that football is football, it’s going to come down to execution at the end of the day.”

King knows little about the Falcons, other than what he’s seen on a screen, and with no common opponents, it’s hard to make comparisons.

“From what I see, they’re a well-coached and disciplined team who does a great job of getting their athletes in space,” King said. “And they also score a lot of points, so it’s definitely going to be a tough challenge for us.”

But one King, his staff and team are ready to undertake. Keeping mistakes, which at times have been devastating, to a minimum is crucial.

“We’re going to have to play four quarters of Mustang Football, limit their opportunities on offense, and convert on third downs,” King said.

“I truly believe whoever wins the turnover battle will always give themselves a chance at the end of the game.”
