FAIRFIELD — A 19-year-old Antioch man and two teenagers who police suspect robbed a jewelry store Wednesday afternoon at the Solano Town Center on Travis Boulevard were arrested Thursday. Police originally said six to seven males entered from the north side of the mall at 1350 Travis Boulevard from two vehicles at 2:10 p.m. Wednesday. The males entered the mall, went into Daniel’s Jewelers, broke the glass counters with hammers and bats and stole various items. They fled the scene and no one was injured. Sgt. John Divine of the Fairfield Police Department said the robbery matched a similar one that occurred Tuesday in Concord. The Fairfield Police Department’s Investigation Division responded and took over the case. A suspect vehicle was located in Antioch. Dominick Desouza, 19, of Antioch, was arrested and booked

The males entered the mall, went into Daniel’s Jewelers, broke the glass counters with hammers and bats and stole various items. They fled the scene and no one was injured. into the Solano County jail on suspicion of robbery and possession of stolen property, both felony allegations. A 16-year-old male and 17 year-old male were also booked into Solano County Juvenile Hall. Their names were not released because of their ages. Desouza is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Friday in Solano County Superior Court. He was still listed online late Thursday afternoon as an inmate in jail with a bail set at $98,333. Investigators were able to recover $50,000 worth of stolen jewelry, police report. Other participants in the robbery are still considered at-large, police said. The case remains under investigation.

News of the arrests came the same day the Buy Safe America Coalition released a report on amount of merchandise lost to retail thefts prior to the pandemic. The report, “The Impact of Organized Retail Crime and Product Theft in the United States,” details how retail theft ballooned to more than $68 billion in 2019 as organized retail crime spawned massive criminal enterprises online and more brazen attacks in stores, according to a press release to announce the report. California ranked third per capita nationally with the theft of $13.76 billion worth of goods. The Buy Safe America Coalition in the press release estimates that the thefts resulted in more than $19 billion in lost economic activity and some 94,400 jobs that pay more than $6 billion in wages and benefits to workers. Anyone with information about the Daniel’s Jewelers case, who has not already spoken to a detective, is asked to call the Fairfield Police Department’s Investigations Bureau at 707-428-7600.

BENICIA — A former Benicia police officer who struck and killed a pedestrian with his patrol car has been cleared by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office of any criminal wrongdoing. “While the loss of Mr. Hamers’ life is tragic, we find no criminal liability on behalf of Officer (James) Franklin as a result,” states a letter from the District Attorney’s Office to Benicia police Chief Mike Greene. Scott Hamers, 48, of Richmond, was stuck about 2 a.m. on Nov. 11, 2020, on the 1900 block of East Second Street, north of Interstate 780, where the road goes under the overpass, the CHP reported at the time.

Now, I later went to see numerous bands live, including Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio and others. And I should mention they were not all hard rock/ heavy metal shows. I have seen Cameo, Run-DMC, Bob Seger, Chaka Khan, Ledisi, Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder, among others. Heck, this rock ‘n’ roll rebel who sprinted away from the church at 17 has even seen and enjoyed Christian artist Amy Grant multiple times. But decades later, the only concert shirt that I still had was the one I bought at that first Def Leppard concert. It featured a picture of the band: singer Joe Elliott, bassist Rick Savage, lead

guitarist Steve “Steamin’ ” Clark and guitarist Pete Willis, who was booted out in 1982 due to his drinking. But the most interesting thing to me is that the only band member’s arm that is visible is the right one belonging to drummer Rick Allen, who would lose his left one in a horrific car crash in 1984. He remarkably learned to drum with one arm and a modified drum kit. Having a one-armed drummer sounds kinda like the joke about a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest, but Allen continues to rock. Over the decades, I evidently took the Leppard hit song “Pour Some Sugar on Me” to heart and doubled in weight like I was living on Jupiter or something. That T-shirt was tucked away in a closet with ironically, the Armijo basketball sweater I wore to the 1981 show. To think

that I could ever wear either of them again was a dream. Use them as napkins? Absolutely. Clothing? Uh, no way. But, as I have detailed in this column, I changed my lifestyle, lost a good sized human’s worth of weight and can now comfortably wear them both. Slipping on the threadbare Def Leppard shirt transports me right back to that mesmerizing and life-changing concert and those days of convention-abandoning freedom. Now, these days I don’t drink or smoke and if I saw Def Leppard again, I would definitely wear ear plugs, but I’m still glad I can wear the shirt.

Covid-related deaths climb to 318 with 3 more charted from recent surge Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County health officials on Wednesday reported three more Covid-related deaths, each falling into a familiar profile of older, ill and unvaccinated. Two women, one older than 65 and one between 50 and 65, as well as one man, older than 65, became ill during the most recent surge that started just after July 4. All lived at home, had significant underlying health issues and all three were unvaccinated, the county reported. The deaths bring the total to 318, of which 61 are from the latest surge, with 48 of those being unvaccinated, the county reported. The county reported 99 new coronavirus cases, 79 since Monday’s report, taking the pandemic total to 46,499. There were 24 residents who were hospitalized with the disease, of which 11 are in intensive care units, Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview. Both those numbers are down from Monday when the report was 31 in the hospitals and 15 in ICUs. “So we are running lower for the hospitalizations and ICU, which is good to see,” Matyas said. However, Matyas said he remains concerned with the upcoming Thanksgiving and winter holidays, which prompted the worst of the county surges last year. Matyas reported that 3,173 children between 5 and 11 have been vaccinated, about 8.5% of the 37,125 county residents in that age group. He said he is concerned the reports of some Bay Area children getting ill after receiving adult doses of the vaccines at Sutter Health facilities will deter parents from having their children vaccinated.

Vacaville seeks input on ARPA spending Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — The city invites the community to participate in an interactive online budget simulation to gather input on prioritizing the use of the city’s pandemic relief funding. The American Rescue Plan Act was signed into law in March by President Joe Biden in response to the negative economic and public health impacts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The county reported 81% of residents 12 or older have received at least one shot, and 71% are fully vaccinated. There have been 46,839 booster shots administered, 1,498 more than reported Monday. Active cases climbed, taking the 10-day daily average to 35.2, while the seven-day positivity testing rate went from 4.6% Monday to 5.2% Wednesday, the county reported. Fairfield added 20 cases to take its total to 12,449.

Vacaville’s total allocation of pandemic relief funding is nearly $12.7 million and can be used for expenses in the following categories: n Support public health responses related to the Covid-19 pandemic. n Address negative economic impacts caused by the pandemic. n Replace public sector revenue loss. n Provide premium pay for essential workers. n Invest in necessary improvements to water, Vallejo is at 13,568 cases after 28 new reports. With a county-high 32 new cases, Vacaville’s count is at 12,241, the county reported. Suisun City (3,285) and Benicia (1,567) each added seven new cases, while Dixon (2,569) and Rio Vista (627) each added two cases. One new case in the unincorporated area of the county took that total to 143, the county reported. Solano County does not report case updates

The survey can be found on the city’s website, cityofvacaville. com, or directly at h t t p s : // v a c a v i l l e . abalancingact.com/arpa. on Thursdays. The next update is scheduled late Friday afternoon.

VACAVILLE — The Planning Commission voted unanimously Tuesday night to make a recommendation to the City Council to approve the Allison Apartments affordable housing project. The recommendation included two modifications: the number of parking stalls and that the deed be recorded as use for affordable housing for the next 55 years. The $65 million project is expected to go to the council in December. The developer is CFY Development Inc. of Sacramento. If approved by the council, CFY would try to finalize financing – through a loan with the city and available affordable housing money – in February with construction to begin from 2023-24 and leasing to begin in 2025, if all moves according to plan. “It’s a good location and a good looking project,” Planning Commission Chairman Robert Macauley said. “It addresses an important need for the city.” The project proposal is to construct a 187-unit affordable apartments complex with Phase One on a vacant 3.65acre site, located at the southeast corner of

Allison Drive and Nut Tree Parkway. It would consist of one six-story building with two elevators, and a leasing office on the ground floor. Phase Two would be a commercial development to be addressed at a later time. The site plan now includes 130 on-site parking spaces in a gated setting. A children’s playground, picnic area and a dog park, with primary access on Allison Drive, are included. There will also be ample parking for bicycles, acording to a staff report for the project. The project includes 30 studio units, 112 one-bedroom units and 45 two-bedroom units, with floor areas ranging from 460 square feet to 984 square feet. All units would be available to low-income households with incomes that are 80% or less of the area median income, with the exception of two manager units. The application also includes a density bonus request to increase the allowable density from 24 units per acre to approximately 70 units per acre. “I feel this project is extremely important to Vacaville and something we need,” Commissioner Jan Aldrich said. “This company fills all the boxes. I’m very much in favor of this project.” See Project, Page A4

SUISUN CITY — Christmas at the Waterfront returns Dec. 4. The event will include the public art unveiling at 1:45 p.m. at the new Solano Transporation Authority building on Main Street. It will also be the last year for the community Christmas tree. Mayor Lori Wilson shared at the City Council meeting Tuesday that the tree is dying and can’t be saved.

Project From Page A3 The commissioners did have concern for the amount of parking. There are only 130 stalls targeted with 187 units. The developer, John Cicerone, did say that the ratio meets the state requirements and said the majority of affordable housing residents do not have cars. The project is also located right next to a transit center, and restaurants and shopping areas are within walking distance. Personal space is limited, – the units do not have balconies – but there are walking areas nearby with some space in common areas. “The demand for affordable housing in Vacaville is high, and this project will help with that supply,” Commissioner Michael Fortney said. “A major component is the health of our community and this will help build a

Congress last updated the FMC’s authority to regulate the global ocean shipping industry during the “Ocean Shipping Reform Act” of 1998, according to the press release from Garamendi’s office. The People’s Republic of China was granted permanent normal trade relations with the United States, so-called “mostfavored nation” status in December 2001 after the country’s admission to the World Trade Organization. The Federal Maritime Commission announced “Fact

Finding No. 29” in late April 2020 to investigate congestion, bottlenecks and fees at the ports. The commission in November 2020 expanded this investigation (Fact Finding No. 29) to include reports of ocean carriers declining to ship American exports. The FMC launched a new audit program July 20, 2021, to assess ocean carriers’ compliance with federal regulations on detention and demurrage and increase the agency’s monitoring of the marketplace for ocean cargo services. This action underscores the need for legislation, according to the press release from Garamendi’s office. Garamendi represents the 3rd Congressional District, which includes all of Solano County east of Benicia and Vallejo and extends east into Winters in neighboring Yolo County.

Sacramento counties. “We are honored to have been selected by the Day 1 Families Fund to support our community by providing a meaningful philanthropic investment,” John Eckstrom, CEO of Shelter Inc., said in the press release “The San Francisco Bay Area has always been a wonderful, but expensive, place to live, but post-pandemic our lowest income neigh-

bors continue to struggle with housing. This generous grant will help vulnerable families with dependent children establish a major foundational component of generational economic growth: safe and stable housing.” This one-time grant will allow Shelter Inc. to provide long-term rental subsidies to families who have lost their housing along with the wraparound services to build

new skills, habits and beliefs to help them remain stably housed, according to the press release. Seventy percent of the participants in Shelter Inc. programs are what are knows as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color), low-income and often marginalized. A portion of the Day 1 Families Fund grant will be leveraged to increase the housing stock for target populations.

Shelter Inc. was selected as a Day 1 Families Fund grant recipient by an independent advisory board comprised of homelessness experts with experience in policy, advocacy, racial equity, child welfare and housing and service delivery, as well as firsthand experience in homelessness, according to the press release.

Valero agrees to pay $191,500 for pollution violations in Benicia Settlement comes on heels of Tesoro’s $2.23M payment for incidents at Martinez plant Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

BENICIA — The Bay Area Air Quality Management District announced this week that it has settled 14 notices of violation with Valero Refining Co. for $191,500 for violations at its Benicia oil refinery. The notices of violation were issued to the company for noncompliance with air quality regulations at its Benicia facility in 2017. “Any air quality violation at a Bay Area refinery is taken extremely seriously by the air district,” said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the air district, in a press release. “This settlement helps to ensure that Valero takes responsibility for compliance with all local, state and federal air quality regulations, and does not put public health or local air quality at risk.” The violations addressed in this settlement include: n Two violations for excessive visible emissions. n Four violations for a tank leak, a valve leak, a leak on a heat exchanger and a gap on a tank. n One violation for oil on a tank roof. n One violation for valve checks with the incorrect analyzer. n One violation for a seal gap. n One violation for failure to conduct daily inspections. n Two violations for a total of 13 open-ended lines. n One violation for exceeding nitrogen oxide/nitrogen dioxide limits. n One violation for exceeding carbon monoxide limits. All violations that led to this settlement have been corrected, the air district reports. The Valero settlement was the second in as many months involving

The Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company agreed to pay nearly $2.23 million in late September to settle air quality violations at its Golden Eagle Refinery in Martinez. The settlement covered 58 notices of violation from 2014 to 2018. All the violations that led to the settlement were corrected, the air district reported at the time. The violations addressed in that settlement included: n The 2014 turnaround flaring event, where there was continuous flaring during Tesoro’s 55-day turnaround, in violation of multiple air district and federal regulations, causing significant volatile organic compounds, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and methane emissions. n Various permitting violations. n Various excess emissions violations that include crude unit vapor leaks causing excess volatile organic compound emissions, gas turbine and furnace nitrogen

oxide emission control issues, failed source tests, tank seal gaps and other leaks, sulfur dioxide control violations, and visible emissions. n Recordkeeping, monitoring and reporting violations. The air district issues notices of violation when facilities violate a specific air quality regulation or rule. Violators are generally required to respond to the notice within 10 days and submit a description of the actions they will take to correct the problem. These actions can include shutting down certain operations immediately or changing operations or equipment to come into compliance. All settlement funds will be used to fund air district activities such as the inspection and enforcement activities that led to this settlement. The air district includes all or parts of the nine Bay Area counties, including the Fairfield-Suisun City and Vallejo-Benicia areas of Solano County.

Dodd: Policing an area that needs reform Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Sen. Bill Dodd held a virtual Town Hall session Tuesday night about police reform and racial injustice and said some were accusing him of being anti-police even before the session began. “The fact of the matter is that by pursuing the dodd necessary reform for law enforcement, it is supporting them and the community they serve,” Dodd said, “because that is the only way to build the trust and fairness that will make our communities safer. Ignoring the problem is a disservice

to everyone, including the police.” Dodd, D-Napa, made it clear as he continued that many officers are dedicated to protecting the public and entered the profession for good reasons. And there are many officers who are not racist or violent. “But if a bad cop is identified, we need to be able to get that cop out,” he said. Dodd did mention the police shooting in Vallejo that killed 22-year-old Sean Monterrosa, soon after the national reaction to the George Floyd killing in Minnesota. Dodd said that Monterrosa had no gun and was “actually on

his knees.” “It was just one of a string of police shootings in Vallejo, and it breeds fear, apprehension and animosity between communities and law enforcement,” he said. “Bad training and institutional bias, along with incidents of overt misconduct and criminal activity, all require significant reform.” Dodd was joined at the town hall by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, fellow Sen. Steven Bradford, D-Gardena, and UC Davis School of Law Dean Kevin R. Johnson. Weber and Bradford, both African-American, have been able to advance legislation to help with police reform and racial injustice. Weber was able

to advance Assembly Bill 932, which relates to the use of deadly force. “The only time you should decide to use deadly force is when your life is being threatened, someone else’s life is being threatened, or this person has the capacity to do more harm,” Weber said. “If that is not the case, you should use other methods.” Bradford help push Senate Bill 2 to build open transparency to get rid of bad officers through decertification. It’s a way of finding out why stops and certain actions were taken. “The majority of men and women who put on the uniform do so in an See Dodd, Page A9

Council meeting includes tour of SWAT vehicles Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — Members of the City Council took a tour Tuesday of SWAT vehicles outside City Hall as part of their meeting. A brief overview of the program was offered, with some statistics. The Solano County

SWAT team in the past five years has been called out nine times by Suisun City police. Forty-four percent of the calls involved barricades. The remaining were for high-risk search warrants. The presentation showed how beneficial it would be to have the SWAT team, Vice Mayor Alma Hernandez said.

“How does the public learn more,” she asked. Solano County Sheriff’s Deputy Mike Waller said the SWAT team takes advantage of chances to show off their equipment at public gatherings. The city would have to pay for training a SWAT officer. “Every time you’re called out, chances are

you are saving a life,” said Steve Olry. “It’s just a cost we have to bear.” “It’s a great idea,” Councilman Mike Hudson said. The council took no action. “It’s not something we can afford without strategic partners,” Mayor Lori Wilson said of SWAT capabilities in the city.

Double shows exactly four cards in an unbid major and four or more cards in an unbid minor. Nowadays, most experts treat two of all four suits as natural. One no-trump is also natural, showing 16-18 or even 19 high-card points. A jump to two no-trump is unusual, promising at least 5-5 in the unbid suits.

Rittenhouse judge bars MSNBC from courtroom The Washington Post KENOSHA, Wis. — The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial banned MSNBC from the Kenosha County Courthouse on Thursday after police reported that a man working for the cable news network – or a corporate sibling – was pulled over for a traffic violation Wednesday and suspected of following the jury transport van. The development came as the trial’s 12 jurors

continued to deliberate, ending their third day without a verdict. Judge Bruce Schroeder said the man identified himself to police as “James J. Morrison” and claimed to be a producer for MSNBC acting on instructions from a New York-based producer to follow the bus. Jurors are ferried to and from the courthouse each day in a bus Schroeder described as “sealed” to prevent them from seeing signs or protesters on either side

From Page One provides a road map for further investigation. Worobey has played an influential role. He was one of 18 scientists whose objections to a WHO report on the coronavirus’ origins reignited investigation into the possibility that it might have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Their letter was published in Science after the WHO declared it “likely to very likely” that the virus jumped to humans from animals, and “extremely unlikely” that it escaped from the government lab. Noting that the two theories “were not given balanced consideration,” the group called for “a proper investigation” to resolve the issue. Worobey said at the time that “both” explanations “remain on the table for me.” But his new work leans heavily to the “animal spillover” explanation. Worobey’s effort is meeting with mixed reviews. “I don’t think this advances in a major way our collective understanding of what really happened,” said Dr. David Relman, the Stanford microbiologist who organized the Science letter. Since Worobey’s new narrative is constructed mainly of “third- and fourth-hand information,” it is fragmentary, inconsistent and unreliable, potentially Relman said. But Scripps Institution microbiologist Kristian Andersen, who has long argued that an animal spillover was more likely than a lab leak, lauded Worobey’s research for “uncovering several new key insights.” The collective evidence “clearly points to the Huanan Market as a very likely source of the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic,” Andersen said. Worobey’s account calls into question the date and location of the earliest reported case of the mysterious type of pneumonia that was later recognized as Covid-19.

or intended to contact the jurors during deliberations, and never photographed or intended to photograph them,” the network spokesperson said. “We regret the incident and will fully cooperate with the authorities on any investigation.” Schroeder has been critical of some of the media coverage of the trial and said no one with the network would be allowed in the courthouse for the duration of deliberations, which began Tuesday. His research suggests it was not – as has been widely reported – a 41-year-old accountant with no connection to the Huanan Market, but a seafood vendor who worked there. (A Chinese investigative reporter would discover that the accountant’s Dec. 8 fever was due to an infection after dental surgery to remove retained baby teeth. The accountant would go on to develop another fever eight days later that was a sign of Covid-19.) A full 11 days before Chinese authorities focused their attention on the Huanan Market as the common link in the mysterious infections, doctors at two Wuhan hospitals had already identified 14 cases of the unexplained pneumonia. Eight of those patients had spent time at the market, where live raccoon dogs, a species known to carry SARS-like coronaviruses, were sold. The significance of such minute details would not be evident to casual followers of the origin debate. But they matter enormously. Those arguing that China has covered up an accidental lab leak or the intentional release of an engineered pathogen have seized upon this finding in the WHO report: Only 33% of 168 patients who developed the unexplained pneumonia early in the outbreak had a direct link to the Huanan Market. They add that even that number is likely inflated by doctors who went looking for links to the market after Chinese authorities designated the site as the likely source. They’ve also made much of the now-disputed report that the earliest known patient (the 41-year-old accountant) lived nearly 20 miles south of the Huanan Market and had never been there, yet he showed up sick in a hospital close to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Dr. Marc Suchard, A University of California, Los Angeles researcher who uses genetic sequences to study the spread of disease, said Worobey’s reconstruction

“I don’t know what the ultimate truth of it is, but it would go without much thinking that someone who is following a jury bus, that is a very serious matter and will be referred to the proper authorities for further action,” Schroeder said. The NBC News spokesperson has not yet responded to an inquiry about whether MSNBC and NBC News plan to challenge the courtroom ban issued Thursday. “There was no breach

of security regarding the jury, nor were there any photographs obtained,” Kenosha police said in a statement via social media. “This investigation remains active and open, no further information.” A spokesperson for the department did not immediately respond to requests for further comment. Shaquille Brewster, an NBC News correspondent, read the network’s statement about the incident on MSNBC’s air.

makes clear that “most early cases occur near the market, identifying it as an early epicenter.” Suchard said he expects to work with Worobey on the next phase of this research. China insists the SARS-CoV-2 virus arose from a spillover event. Authorities there said they responded promptly to reports of an unexplained illness in Wuhan, quickly tracing it to the Huanan Market and activating a national warning system. They dismiss the possibility that the virus escaped from the Wuhan virology lab. But they’ve been unwilling to share their records with WHO investigators. And because the government has covered up missteps in past disasters, skepticism of its claims has been widespread. Worobey did not acknowledge the politically charged debate over the virus’s origins. But he made clear his reconstruction of events points strongly toward a spillover explanation. For instance, by his accounting, 10 of the 19 earliest cases identified – 53% – had a link to the market. That number could not have been inflated by doctors’ following the government’s lead, he said, because they were all identified before authorities made any announcement. “There was a genuine preponderance of early Covid-19 cases associated with Huanan Market,” Worobey wrote. He also wrote that, given what is now known about the SARSCoV-2 virus, it should be no surprise that many of the early patients had no connection to the Huanan Market. The virus is easily spread by people with few or no symptoms. It takes close to two weeks for an infection to progress to severe illness, and no more than 7% of those infected end up hospitalized. That means by the time people began to land in Wuhan’s hospitals, the virus had probably been circulating locally for weeks – and at least 93% of infected people were out and about, able to spread it in a city

of 11 million. Among patients with no direct link to the market, most lived close by. That “is notable and provides compelling evidence that community transmission started at the market,” Worobey wrote. Those facts also suggest that the pandemic’s “patient zero” will likely never be found. Sometime in late November or early December, that person might have been eating lunch next to infected raccoon dogs in their cages at the Huanan Market. He or she might have been one of the nearly 50% of people who don’t feel very sick but are still quite effective at passing SARS-CoV-2 on. The animal that incubated the virus is even less likely to be found. Chinese researchers told WHO investigators they took samples from 188 animals from 18 species at the market, and all tested negative. And since the market was closed and disinfected on Jan. 1, 2020, there’s no way to look further. So researchers will have to keep collecting epidemiological data and sorting through the telling details to create the fullest picture possible of the virus’s birth. sequencGenetic ing data can also help, Worobey said. As the virus moves from person to person, its genetic signature changes just enough to reveal the order in which infections occurred. When epidemiologists and geneticists pool their data, they’re better able to create a family tree of infections. As they cross-check genetic signatures with patients’ accounts of their contacts and whereabout, they may be able to timestamp some infections and discern the spatial patterns of the virus’s earliest transmissions. That should get them closer to the root of the family tree – maybe not patient zero, but close. “Conclusive evidence of a Huanan Market origin from infected wildlife may nonetheless be obtainable,” Worobey wrote. “Preventing future pandemics depends on this effort.”

Dodd From Page A5 honorable way,” Bradford said, “but it’s the bad actors who leave such a level of distrust. It’s often said, especially in the communities of color, that they hate the police. It’s not true. They fear the police, the stops, harassment, physical abuse and, unfortunately, death.” Johnson said the biggest problem in the criminal justice system is the disproportionate amount of arrests and incarcerations of A fr ican-A mer icans and Latinos. “California has systemic racism in the criminal justice system,” Johnson said. “It’s not just a California problem. It’s a national problem. The solutions come from the political process and not from the courts.” Johnson said the problem is racial profiling in traffic stops, and that there are many issues of bias among judges, jurors and prosecutors, and bias in trials and sentencing. “We need to face up to this, instead of ducking and covering, as citizens,” Johnson said. Weber also talked about voter suppression and how California has been one of the more open states in allowing its citizens to cast ballots. She said that no fraud was found in California in recent elections and that 88.5% of the eligible population is now able to vote, though the goal is 100%. “If you are a citizen, you should have the ability to choose who represents you and have a voice,” Weber said. “We have tried to open it up

as widely as possible to every Californian who is a citizen. The only citizens that can’t vote are those in a prison in California.” The town hall was conducted by KSVY in Sonoma and made available on social media channels. Dodd represents the state’s 3rd Senate District, which includes all of Solano County.

Fairfield police remind residents of ‘safe’ zones to complete online transactions Reminder comes 2 weeks after fatal shooting Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Police Department reminded people this week that the city offers a Community Safe Exchange Zone for residents to make online purchases and exchange transactions in a monitored area. The reminder comes not only as the holidays approach but also two weeks after a 19-yearold Benicia man was found dead with blood coming out of his mouth at approximately 12:20 p.m. Nov. 4 on the 1000 block of Tyler Street. Police suspect he was shot while taking part in a vehicle purchase transaction that was initiated online, and that his suspected killer, Kamaria I. Strange, 24, of San Pablo, shot the Benicia man while attempting to rob

him of the cash he brought to a meeting to complete the purchase. Strange, who is charged with murder, is jail without bail and is scheduled to return to court Friday in Fairfield for further arraignment before Judge Carlos R. Gutierrez. The Police Department recommends that sales and purchases of items from a private individual be made in a public place. The Safe Exchange Zone is in the parking lot adjacent to the police station on Kentucky and Jackson streets. There are two designated parking spaces under 24-hour surveillance. When using the Safe Exchange Zones, the Police Department offers these reminders: n Fairfield police or city personnel will not be

present or assist with any transactions. n The exchange of drugs, weapons, alcohol and other illegal items is not permitted. n The Safe Exchange Zone is meant for personto-person transactions. n Sellers are required to take their property with them if the buyer does not show up. n The Police Department encourages the use of Safe Exchange Zones for buyers and sellers of OfferUp, CraigsList, LetGo and other e-commerce apps. The location is monitored by the Police Department. If there is an emergency, dial 9-1-1 or for an issue that is not an emergency, call 707-428-7300. Safety tips offered by the Police Department include: n Only conduct transactions with local

buyers/sellers. n If it’s a high-priced transaction, do it at a bank. n Insist on meeting in a public place. n Do not invite strangers into your home, and do not go to theirs. n Take a cellphone with you. n If you are selling a large piece of furniture, move the piece to an open garage or front porch. n Tell a friend or family member about your intentions. Tell them when and where and with whom you are meeting. If possible, bring them with you. Complete the n transaction during daylight hours. n Be extra cautious in buying/selling valuable items. n Only use cash or money orders. n Trust your instincts and be cautious of scams.

Fairfield council hears about proposed relocation of NorCal parole unit to city K aty St. Clair

katy@dailyrepublic.com

FAIRFIELD — Police Chief Deanna Cantrell spoke to the City Council on Tuesday night about a proposal to move the Woodland parole unit, which represents Yolo, Sutter and Colusa counties, into Fairfield by December. Cantrell opposes the move, as do law enforcement administrators in Yolo County, she said. An “emergency” meeting has been called by the Board of Supervisors as well as a meeting between Councilman Chuck Timm, Mayor Harry Price, Cantrell and state Attorney General Rob Bonta. Cantrell in her presentation said that the current location in Woodland is losing its lease, so will be moving to the “closest parole office,” which is on Courage Drive in Fairfield. At issue for the chief is what she says is an already overburdened

city, with 380 homelessrelated calls per month and 288 registered sex offenders, 43 of which are homeless. Woodland currently has a 400-person parolee caseload with 80 unhoused people and 30 sex registrants. “We are tapped out on that workload (already),” the chief said. Cantrell listed her department’s concerns, including whether or not future parolees could move to Fairfield, whether

or not the city is equipped to handle that many cases, and the fact that Woodland has “a large number” of parolees on lifetime parole with severe mental health issues and cantrell limited life skills. She added that “multiple” parolees there show up twice a month in person to receive injectable psychotropic medications. “We really don’t

know what the impact would be,” Cantrell said. “It could be significant for us.” Both Councilwoman Catherine Moy and Timm voiced their concern about the relocation. “It’s not good at all,” Timm, a retired Fairfield police officer, said. Cantrell said she would “keep working on it” and report back to the council.

Eradication efforts continue to rid Vacaville area of sharpshooter pest Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County administration on Wednesday reported no agricultural operation has been negatively affected by the glassy-winged sharpshooter infestation in a Browns Valley neighborhood of Vacaville. County and the state agriculture officials continue their eradication efforts that started in October. “We need and appreciate the community’s ongoing help in eradicating this pest,” Ed King, Solano County agricul-

USDA Agricultural Research Service

Glassy-winged sharpshooter. tural commissioner, said in a statement. “Browns Valley residents have graciously allowed our staff to come onto their properties to post and monitor traps, and in some instances, implement targeted insecticide treatments, helping us limit the extent of the infestation.” A glassy-winged sharpshooter was identified in

the nursery of a Lowe’s garden section as part of a routine inspection, and five more were found in a residential area along Browns Valley Road, in the Centennial Park area of Vacaville, King said at the time. He said he believed it to be a breeding population, and how they arrived in the county is part of the investigation. The state, according to the latest county statement, apparently issued “a proclamation of emergency” after the pest had been detected back in October. King told the Board of Supervisors at that

time that the situation was being investigated to determine if a quarantine was needed. There is no indication in the latest statement that one has been initiated. King could not be reached Wednesday for comment. The primary concern of an infestation is that the insect can transmit Pierce’s disease, which can kill grapevines. However, the insect is known to feed off 70 plant species, among them citrus trees, almonds, stone fruit and oleanders, according to published sources.

Council green lights apartments study K aty St. Clair

katy@dailyrepublic.com

FAIRFIELD — The City Council got an earful from Green Valley area residents at Tuesday night’s meeting about a proposed high-density apartment complex that would require rezoning, among other things, in order to be approved. Developer A.G. Spanos wants to build a high-density, multiple-level apartment complex – known as Green Valley III – in an area of Green Valley/Cordelia that is currently not zoned for it. The council was asked to approve or deny kicking off a study into the feasibility of the project, such as traffic, population density concerns and environmental impacts. The study would be paid

for by the developers. Council members unanimously approved the study. Council members Doriss Panduro, Pam Bertani, Scott Tonnesen and Chuck Timm said that they heard what everyone had to say against the idea but would like to at least get information from the study. “At the end of the day we would all feel better about our decision if we have some data that we can look at and go through together,” Bertani said. “We have to have some kind of rational basis to make this decision on.” “Not to do the study is to base decisions on something that you don’t know much about,” Mayor Harry Price said. Members of the audience were unhappy with the vote and Price had to

call “order” a few times. One angry constituent warned that project opponents were “gonna pack this place next time we come.” When the project came before the Planning Commission last month, the body heard from dozens of residents over two hours who said they were alarmed at the idea of the apartments going up on the site, which would be built within the Green Valley Corporate Park. The commission voted 5-1 to table the item and so it came before the council in what was essentially an appeal to the Planning Commission’s decision. Twenty-one more residents people spoke out against the development on Tuesday. The biggest concern people have is traffic, which they say is already

a “nightmare” in that area of the city. Others are concerned about fire and earthquake safety, especially if evacuations are necessary. The area’s lack of infrastructure and nearly packed public schools are also an issue. Most of the people who spoke said they live in the valley and enjoy the rural aspects of their lives and do not want to see more tall buildings go up or more human “footprints.” One speaker addressed the council in support of the apartments. Debi Tavey of the Fairfield-Suisun Chamber of Commerce spoke in favor of the residential complex, which she said will bring people into the community who will then give employers people to hire. “It’s good for the community,” she said.

W’s wake up in dominant 4th quarter to beat Cavs Tribune Content Agency CLEVELAND — The Warriors have made their mark in the third quarter this season but waited until the fourth to jostle control away from the shorthanded Cavaliers Thursday night at Rocket Mortgage Arena. Playing against a Cleveland team missing four of its top six scorers, Golden State trailed by 10 entering the final period but was able to pull away for a 104-89 win. The Warriors held Cleveland to eight points in the fourth quarter, a mark exceeded individually by Stephen

Curry and Damion Lee. Curry and Lee fueled a fourth-quarter burst that was driven by Golden State’s suffocating defense, providing the separation the Warriors were seeking all night. The two guards combined for 29 points – 20 by Curry, nine from Lee – in the fourth quarter as the Warriors erased an 81-71 deficit entering the final period. Curry finished with a gamehigh 40 points, complemented by Draymond Green’s seasonhigh 12 assists. But the majority of the game was dominated by a patchwork

of Cavaliers. The Warriors used two runs with big contributions off the bench to eke out a win. It was Lee and Curry who stepped up in the fourth quarter, but Gary Payton II and Nemanja Bjelica provided the spark to pull the Warriors out of an initial 10-0 hole. In one of his best games since joining the Warriors, Bjelica scored 14 points, and Golden State outscored Cleveland by 22 with him on the floor, bested only by Lee’s plus-28. See W’s, Page B9

Vanden hosts Vista del Lago in Sac-Joaquin Divison IV semis PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — And then there was one. After Vacaville and Vacaville Christian suffered painful home losses in games that went to the final horn, and Will C. Wood and Rio Vista put up valiant battles against top seeds in their divisions, the only area high school football team still going is Vanden’s. The Vikings (9-2), who “survived” with a 61-0 quarterfinal demolition of Dixon,

are seeded second and host No. 3 Vista del Lago of Folsom, a 36-21 winner over Placer of Auburn last week, in the SacJoaquin Section Division IV semifinals on Friday at George A. Gammon Field at 7 p.m. It’s the third meeting, the teams splitting the previous two which also took place in the playoffs, both in the first round and decided by a combined five points, Vanden winning 39-37 in 2013, Vista del Lago prevailing 49-46 in 2016.

They throw the ball well, they run the ball well, their offense is pretty potent and they’re solid as well on defense, so it’s going to be a great game.” Vista del Lago quarterback Jacob Hollinghaus has thrown for an average of 223.2 yards per game with 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, while running back Tyler Petersen has rushed for 1,598 yards and 14 TDs. All of which gives Murphy, See Vanden, Page B10

What: Semifinals, Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV playoffs When: Today, 7 p.m. Where: George A. Gammon Field, Vanden High Series: Tied 1-1 Last meeting: 2016, Vista del Lago won 49-46 in the first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III playoffs Last week: Vanden defeated Dixon, 61-0; Vista del Lago defeated Placer, 36-21 Of note: The Vikings have made the Sac-Joaquin Section semifinals at least once a decade since the playoffs began in the 1970s and have reached this round for the ninth time. They are 3-5 in their previous appearances and went on to win section titles after their three semifinal victories in 1975, 1984 and 1995. Their last trip was in 2018 when they lost to Casa Roble, 38-22, part of the playoffs that were delayed a week because of poor air quality caused by the Camp Fire. . . . Vista del Lago, runner-up in the Capital Athletic League, is in the semifinals for the second time, having advanced to the Division III title game in 2012. . . . Both previous meetings between Vanden and Vista del Lago were in the playoffs and decided by a combined five points, the Vikings winning 39-37 at home in 2013, the Eagles prevailing 49-46 in Folsom in 2016. . . . Both teams have dynamic offenses, the Eagles averaging 39.8 points and 445.4 total yards per game, 206.0 of it rushing, 239.4 of it passing, the Vikings averaging 43.5

points and 378.0 total yards, 172.4 of it rushing, 205.6 of it passing, according to maxpreps.com. There is a significant difference in the defensive numbers, however. While yardage averages aren’t available – vanquished teams often fail to update their stats on maxpreps.com – the Eagles have given up more than twice as many points per game, 35.2 to 15.6. . . . Individually, Vista del Lago is led by QB Jacob Hollingshaus, who’s thrown for 2,455 yards (223.2 per game) with 28 TDs and 11 interceptions; RB Tyler Petersen, who’s rushing 1,598 yards (145.3 per game) with 14 TDs and nine 100-yard games; and WR Matt Long, who’s caught 68 passes for 864 yards and 11 TDs. In last week’s win over Placer, Hollingshaus completed 12-of21 passes for 220 yards with three TDs and two interceptions, Petersen ran 25 times for 121 yards and 1 TD, and RJ Wyrick caught five passes for 98 yards. . . . Vanden QB Tre Dimes keeps moving up the school’s single-season and career passing leaders lists. His 2,264 yards are the thirdmost for a single season, topped only by the 2,961 by Jadon Brisendine in 2013 and the 2,804 by Ben Scott in 2011. His 3,460 career yards rank fourth behind Scott (7,154, 2009-11), Brisendine (6,056, 2012-14) and Chad Hurst (4,403, 2006-08). This season he’s thrown for 31 TDs with seven interceptions, his touchdown total ranking third behind Brisendine’s 44 in 2013 and Scott’s 34 in 2011. . . . . RB Cameron Fisherman is Vanden’s top rusher with 510 yards, the second-lowest for a team rushing leader since 1993, and nine TDs, yet while his yardage total is roughly a third of Petersen’s, he’s averaging 6.5 yards per carry to the latter’s 6.1. Michael Belk is Vanden’s top receiver with 35 catches for 702 yards, seventh-most

Brandon Crawford had the best all-around season of his career amid a historic year for the Giants. Matt Olson stood among the American League’s most productive hitters to anchor the A’s lineup. Each was his team’s top finisher in Most Valuable Player voting. Crawford placed fourth in the NL MVP race, with the Phillies’ Bryce Harper claiming his second MVP award. Olson finished eighth in American League MVP balloting, with the Angels’ Shohei Ohtani voted the unanimous winner. Crawford’s fourth-place finish is the highest by a Giants player since 2012, when Buster Posey won the award. Crawford received more first-place votes (four) than the Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. (two), who finished third, but Tatis appeared in the top three on 22 ballots compared to seven for Crawford. Juan Soto of the Nationals finished

all-time, and 10 TDs, followed by Brayden Chavez (29-496, 5) and Jamai East (15-404, 8). Last week against Dixon, Dimes completed 11-of-14 passes for 215 yards and four TDs, Fisherman ran seven times for 75 yards and two TDs, and Belk caught two passes for 55 yards and one TD, Chavez caught three for 37 and Konor McLeod caught two for 47. . . . Before last week, Vanden’s last shutout in a playoff game was a 27-0 win over Golden Sierra in 1995. The other shutouts were 14-0 over Folsom in 1984, 37-0 over Mariposa in 1980, 24-0 over Bret Harte and 36-0 over Mariposa in 1975. The 61-0 romp was the biggest shutout win in school history, topping the 59-0 win over St. Helena by the 1995 squad. The 61-point margin of victory tied an earlier 67-6 win over Armijo for second-biggest in school history, topped only by a 69-6 win over Mira Loma in 1998. The previous record for margin of victory in the playoffs was 42 points in the Vikings’ last two playoff appearances, 54-12 over Cordova of Rancho Cordova in 2018 and 56-14 over Nevada Union of Grass Valley in 2019. The 56 points was also the previous record for most points in a postseason game. . . . The Vikings look to become the fifth team in school history to record 10 wins. The previous squads to pull it off were in 1975 (10-1), 1984 (12-0) 1995 (13-0), 2001 (10-2) and 2009 (10-2). Three other Vanden teams were stopped at nine wins: 1996 (9-3), 1997 (9-2) and 2008 (9-2). Prediction: Vanden 49, Vista del Lago 46 Last week’s prediction record: 2-3; Season record: 49-16 — Paul Farmer

Free safety Jimmie Ward is one of three remaining 49ers’ draft picks made by former general manager Trent Baalke, who now has the same role with the Jaguars. On Sunday, Ward, the No. 30 pick in 2014, could reconnect with Baalke when the 49ers visit Jacksonville. Ward indicated he hadn’t communicated with Baalke since the former 49ers GM was fired after the 2016 season. “I haven’t kept in touch, but I’d like to thank him again for drafting me,” Ward said. “Drafted me in the first round. I don’t know what his options were – the 30th pick. I appreciate the opportunity. I’m still here. And no one else that was a GM drafted me earlier than that. So got to give him credit. Got to love him up.” In December 2015, See 49ers, Page B10

second and garnered six first-place votes. Crawford, 34, posted career-bests in offensive categories including average (.298), OPS (.895) and home runs (24). He led the Giants in runs (79) and RBIs (90) as the club won a franchiserecord 107 games and a division title. That offensive outbreak accompanied a defensive bounce-back as well, as Crawford also won his fourth Gold Glove award – his first since 2017. In 2019, Crawford tied for last in defensive runs saved among qualified majorleague shortstops, according to FanGraphs. In 2021, Crawford ranked seventh overall and third among NL shortstops. This marked Crawford’s second season receiving MVP votes, as he finished 12th in 2016. Other Giants to receive votes this year were Posey, LaMonte Wade Jr. and Kevin Gausman, who each received one 10thplace vote. Olson, the A’s first baseman, rebounded from struggles in the short 2020 campaign to compile his best season yet. A first-time All-Star, Olson posted career-highs with a .271 batting average, 39 homers, 111 RBIs, 101 runs scored and a .371 on-base percentage. Olson ranked fifth in the AL in OPS (.911). He finished tied for fifth in homers and RBIs, sixth in slugging and OBP and tied for ninth in runs. The only other AL player top-10 in all those categories was the Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who finished second in the MVP race, receiving 29 of 30 first-place votes. Ohtani’s historic season, in which he starred as a pitcher and hitter, made him the 11th AL player voted unanimous MVP, and the first since his teammate Mike Trout did so in 2014. Ohtani is also the second player born in Japan to win MVP, joining Ichiro Suzuki. Marcus Semien, the former Oakland shortstop who hit 45 homers for Toronto this year to set a new record for a second baseman, finished third

(as he did with the A’s in 2019), receiving 24 of 30 third-place votes. Olson became one of eight players in Oakland history to score and drive in at least 100 runs in a season and the first since Miguel Tejada in 2002. He was also a Gold

Glove finalist at first base, recording a .995 fielding percentage, though the award went to Houston’s Yuli Gurriel. One historic note to Olson’s season: His 22 homers against left-handed pitchers matched Stan Musial in

1949 for most by a left-handed hitter in major-league history, per Elias Sports Bureau. Olson has hit the most home runs by a first baseman in the majors over the last five seasons with 142.

Biden’s, Harris’ popularity falls

t’s hard to screw up being vice president. George H.W. Bush famously said he attended so many funerals that the job description might as well be: “You die, I fly.” But after just 10 months in office, Kamala Harris has managed to make herself the least popular vice president at this point in at least 50 years. President Joe Biden’s approval has plummeted to just 36% in the recent Quinnipiac poll – which puts his approval lower than Donald Trump’s all-time low in the RealClearPolitics average. But Harris’s popularity is even worse. In a recent Suffolk University-USA Today poll that put Biden’s popularity at a measly 37.8%, Harris ran 10 points lower at 27.8%. Those are depths of unpopularity even Trump never plumbed. Marc Thiessen Usually, a vice president’s poll numbers don’t matter that much. But with Biden struggling in the polls, Harris is supposed to be the Democrats’ backup plan for 2024. Already, nearly two-thirds of Americans, according to the Suffolk University-USA Today poll, say they don’t want Biden to run for a second term – and they increasingly believe he is not physically or mentally up to the job. A new Politico-Morning Consult poll finds half the country does not believe that Biden is in good health – a massive 29-point shift from October 2020, when voters believed he was healthy by a 19-point margin. And a 48% plurality say he is not mentally fit to be president. Last October, voters believed he was mentally fit by a 21-point margin. If this many Americans have lost confidence in the president’s cognitive abilities after just 10 months of watching him in action, imagine what it will be like in three years when he has to stand for reelection? So, the jockeying to replace Biden has already begun. And that means the knives have come out for Harris, with rivals and their supporters planting hit pieces on her in the media. CNN recently reported: “Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff – deciding there simply isn’t time to deal with them right now.” Harris’s camp, in turn, is publicly grousing that she’s been set up for failure, assigned to manage Biden’s self-inflicted crisis at the southern border, and charged with passing a partisan federal election law that is highly popular with the base but has zero chance of being enacted. The problem for Democrats is there are no good alternatives to Biden. Ask yourself: Why did Democrats nominate Biden in the first place? He is the oldest man ever elected president – older on the day he took office than Ronald Reagan was on the day he left office. He won by hiding in his basement and ceding the public stage to Trump, who alienated enough Americans to give Democrats the White House. Democrats spent the entire 2020 primary season searching for an acceptable alternative to Biden and could not find one. They ultimately settled on him because he was the “least bad” choice – an inoffensive, genial moderate who was least likely to drive away swing voters tired of Trump but wary of the Democrats’ leftward turn. Well, less than a year into his presidency, Biden’s popularity is in free fall, his vice president and presumed heir is less popular than he is, and there are still no viable alternatives. Most of the potential 2024 candidates being discussed are 2020 also-rans who failed to connect with voters in the Democratic primaries. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is trying to raise his profile by taking false credit for the Biden administration’s one popular achievement – passage of a bipartisan infrastructure bill. But Buttigieg had literally no role in negotiating the infrastructure bill. None. He was absent on the job. And he has also presided over the worst supply chain crisis in memory. Grocery stores sold out of turkeys at Thanksgiving and empty store shelves at Christmas are not on a winning path to the presidency. But Buttigieg may be on to something. The bipartisan infrastructure bill is indeed popular – supported by 81% of Democrats, 63% of independents and 46% of Republicans, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll. That’s because it represents exactly what Biden promised voters in 2020 but failed to deliver – normalcy, compromise, unity and bipartisanship. If Democrats want to dig themselves out of the political hole they are in, maybe they should turn to the two leaders in their party who did not run in 2020 and are actually responsible for the bill’s passage? Joe Manchin-Kyrsten Sinema 2024 – now that’s a Democratic ticket. Marc Thiessen writes a twice-weekly column for The Washington Post on foreign and domestic policy.

The syndrome is not confined to USC.

At Cal State East Bay, in Hayward, which costs about $11,000 a year to attend, students who earn a bachelor’s degree in construction management can bank on making about $80,000.” Meanwhile, the men and women who opted out of college to become skilled workers such as plumbers, mechanics or electricians find themselves in demand and earn much more than college-educated contemporaries who are drowning in student debt.

James Stewart as George Bailey, hugs actor Karolyn Grimes, who plays his daughter Zuzu, in a still from “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

For 2 living actors of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ the film’s magic still resonates Tribune Content Agency “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Frank Capra’s story about redemption and a life fulfilled, bombed at the box office when it was released in early 1947. The Christmas movie that year that became the classic of its time? “Miracle on 34th Street.” For decades, “It’s a Wonderful Life” was largely forgotten until 1974 when Republic Pictures failed to renew its copyright protection. The film lapsed into the public domain, meaning anyone could show the film without obtaining permission or paying royalties. Its ubiquity on broadcast TV over the next two decades fueled its popularity and gave the film a second life. Since 1994, NBC has had exclusive broadcast rights to the film after Republic Pictures proved it owned the original story and the music. “It’s a Wonderful Life” will air on Dec. 4 and 24, both at 8 p.m. ET. Now it’s hard to imagine American life without the film. It was ranked No. 20 of the 100 greatest films in 2007 by the American Film Institute. Capra and stars Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart in interviews said it was their favorite film they ever worked on. It’s also a treasure that keeps on giving for living cast members of that film Jimmy Hawkins, who played 4-yearold Tommy Bailey, and Karolyn Grimes, the 6-year-old Zuzu Bailey, who uttered the famous line, “Look, Daddy. Teacher says, ‘Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.’” The movie, though, was just a footnote in their lives until the late 1970s. “I started hearing more about it then,” said Hawkins in a recent Zoom interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution to promote the 75th anniversary

Blu-Ray DVD release, which came out Nov. 16. “People were holding trivia parties. I thought, ‘Wow! This suddenly got big!’” He remained an actor in the 1950s and 1960s and worked with Reed on “The Donna Reed Show” from 1958 to 1966. Grimes got out of show business in her teens after her mother died from early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and her father was killed in a car accident. Her life was suffused with tragedy. Her first husband died in a hunting accident. One of her children committed suicide. And her second husband died of cancer. She didn’t even see “It’s a Wonderful Life” until she was 40 years old. “I was enthralled with the messages from that movie when I first saw it,” Grimes said. “I knew then why it was very special and I could understand why I started getting fan mail and people wanted to have interviews with me.” Back in 1980, she had no idea how journalists even tracked her down because her name had changed and there was no Google back in the day. But the publicity enabled her to reunite with Stewart and Reed, and Grimes became the unofficial ambassador of the movie. Over the past four decades, she has attended countless screenings, benefits and conventions. She helped create a museum for the film and returns each December to Seneca Falls, New York, the model for the movie’s smalltown Bedford Falls, for the “It’s a Wonderful Life” Festival. For Grimes, the film’s message is timeless: “How each person’s life touches another and we’re given an opportunity to make a difference. That’s so important.” She even likes the colorized version, which is available on the DVD. “You can see so much more

in the background you can’t see in the black-and-white version,” she said. “Paramount makes it really crisp and beautiful.” “Some people don’t like black-and-white so whatever it takes to get the message out, that’s fine,” Hawkins added. Hawkins said people have come up to both of them and said watching the film kept them from killing themselves. And even at age 79, he said he feels like he’s four all over again when he thinks about the movie. “When people ask us questions about being on the set, you click back into it,” Hawkins said. “It’s so vivid. It seems like a million years ago or just yesterday.” He said when he joined “The Donna Reed Show,” Reed told him crew members on the set of “It’s a Wonderful Life” had a nickname for him: Rip Van Winkle. “With all this commotion going on, lights, cameras, I’d fall asleep,” he said. “When it was time to shoot, they’d wake me up and I’d be all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!” Hawkins also bragged years later that he had won the watermelon eating contest at the wrap party. His secret? Swallowing the watermelon seeds whole. “Spitting out seeds takes time,” Hawkins said. “I just kept going!” The evidence was captured on film and shown years later. The movie itself is pretty dark on multiple levels and Grimes thinks people, coming out of World War II, weren’t quite ready for it yet. Stewart himself wasn’t sure he wanted to even act again after flying naval planes over Germany but, as Hawkins said, actor Lionel Barrymore, who plays the miserly Mr. Potter in the film, convinced Stewart to do it. “The film is like the cream in the coffee,” Hawkins said. “It just rises to the top.”

On the deal in the diagram, West was Picabo Petersen, who did not need to peekaboo, her bridge game being almost as beautiful as she. Her fiance, Biggles Blinkerton, sat East. The auction was exciting. Biggles opted to bid his five-card major immediately, North cue-bid two hearts to show a good hand with spade support, and Picabo loved to double her opponents. Picabo led the club king and shifted to the heart four, East winning with the ace. Thinking his partner had led her singleton at trick one, Biggles returned the club four, hoping for a diamond ruff in return.

Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin wants all you cool cats and kittens to know that the sophomore season of “Tiger King” is “primarily nothing more than a rehash of the first season with a few misleading additions.” In a lengthy statement provided Thursday to the Los Angeles Times, Baskin and third husband Howard Baskin slammed the second chapter of the hit Netflix documentary series and tripled down on the assertion that she did not kill her missing second husband, Don Lewis. “Season 2, as expected and indicated in the Trailer, continues to do everything they can to falsely convince the viewer that Carole was involved in Don Lewis disappearance,” the Baskins said. “Consistent with their prior lack of ethics, the producers continued with the technique they used in Season 1 of having accusatory statements about Carole followed by images or video of her chosen to intentionally reinforce and magnify the accusations. The result, predictably, has been a new surge of social media hate directed at Carole the day of the release.” The couple’s scathing response comes weeks after the Baskins sued the streaming giant for using footage of them in Season 2 of “Tiger King.” A Florida judge promptly denied the big cat sanctuary owners’ emergency motion for a temporary restraining order against “Tiger King” distributor Netflix and producer Royal Goode Productions, but did not make an immediate decision regarding their unauthorized appearance in the latest installment. During a news conference Thursday Tampa, Florida, in regarding Lewis’ disappearance, Cpl. Moises Garcia of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said investigators have made at least three attempts to interview Carole Baskin, who has repeatedly refused to speak with them. Garcia identified

Baskin as a “high-profile person of interest” in the case. Asked about Baskin’s silence, Garcia said, “Most missing persons’ . . . family members, wives, spouses – they cooperate with law enforcement. They want to know what happened to their loved one, and they cooperate however possible.” Carole Baskin also took aim Thursday at her arch nemesis Joe Exotic, former owner of the roadside G.W. Zoo, who is in prison for organizing a murder-for-hire scheme against his rival as well as for animal abuse. In the second season of “Tiger King,” Exotic claims his former business partners Jeff and Lauren Lowe, Allen Glover and James Garretson framed him for the attempted murder of Carole Baskin. The “Tiger King” producers “continued to allow Joe Exotic to make false statements without contradiction leaving the implication they are true,” the Baskins continued Thursday. “With all the talk about Joe Exotic being ‘set up’ and witnesses recanting, the producers again fail to point out that it was Joe’s own words from the recorded conversations that played a key role in his conviction.” Their statement also addresses a handful of other Season 2 moments, including an excerpt from Carole Baskin’s diary in which she recalls ordering Lewis to “get off the property” and threatening him with arrest after he allegedly said he would kill the cats. She insists her writing was taken out of context and that she “was telling him not to come back until he had been examined for Alzheimer’s, which had been under discussion because of his deteriorating behavior.” Netflix did not immediately respond Thursday to the L.A. Times’ request for comment. The Baskins concluded their rebuke with a message to “everyone who still wants to believe that Carole killed Don” and a plug for her forthcoming Discovery+ series.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, November 19, 2021 B9

Warner says big contract has weighed on him, ‘but I’m past it’ Tribune Content Agency Money isn’t at the root of all Fred Warner’s struggles this season. Just some. At the least that’s the assessment of the 49ers inside linebacker, who said Wednesday that the life-changing contract extension he signed in July led to unwelcome changes. Some players relax after cashing in. But Warner, who often talks earnestly about his pursuit of perfection, hasn’t done less. Rather, the big money has caused him to try to do more after a do-everything season that earned him first-team All-Pro honors. Warner was a wildly overachieving thirdround pick for his first three NFL seasons. Then, suddenly, he was the $95 million man. He was set for life, but, given his mentality, he was also set up to feel an inordinate amount of pressure. As Warner’s fiance, Sydney Hightower, said before the season: “Fred is very hard on himself.” “Going into this year, it was kind of a little piece of it in the back of my mind,” Warner said. “Like, ‘OK, I’ve got to show up. I’ve got to show out. I’ve got to do more. Do this. Do that.’ It probably hindered me a little bit, but I’m past it.” To be clear, the All-Pro hasn’t been awful. Warner is averaging 9.1 tackles a game, which ranks eighth in the NFL and is more than his per-game average in his first three seasons (7.6). However, Warner, who has wanted to create

Tribune Content Agency

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner tackles Detroit Lions wide receiver Tyrell Williams during the more game-changing plays, has fallen short in that department: He doesn’t have an interception, forced fumble, sack or quarterback hit in 578 snaps. The three-time team captain has been more revealing in interviews this season. Perhaps it’s because he’s wanted to set an example of accountability during a 4-5 start. Whatever the case, Warner was unguarded Wednesday when asked about the impact of his contract and this open-ended question: How is he playing this season? “I could give a very detailed answer,” Warner said. “I could go on and on about that. I think the short answer is: I could be better. And I always

look back to, ‘Are you getting better or getting worse?’ Last year, I was playing at a high level, obviously. All-Pro. Pro Bowl. Am I doing that right this second? I wouldn’t say so. “I’d say we have eight games left that I can prove that I can be a better player for this team, for myself. So, yeah, I’m looking forward to just putting my head down and grinding these last eight games.” Last year, Warner was the superglue that held a fifth-ranked defense together when the 49ers had three Pro Bowl players – cornerback Richard Sherman and pass rushers Nick Bosa and Dee Ford – combine to miss 40 games. This season, the 49ers’ eight-

first half at Ford Field in Detroit, Sept. 12, 2021. Warner is averaging 9.1 tackles per game, eighth in the NFL. ranked defense has had a few poor performances in which Warner has been part of the problem. In a 31-17 loss to the Cardinals on Nov. 7, for example, Warner overran plays and was out of position on two touchdowns by running back James Conner, a 1-yard run and a 45-yard reception. On Conner’s first touchdown – a 13-yard run – Warner was cleared out by right tackle Kelvin Beachum. “It’s one of the most frustrating things in the world because you think that you’re putting in more work (and) you’re being more detailed in what you do,” Warner said. “And for some reason, the results just don’t show up for you. That’s just what it’s

been. Not that I’m not (working). I’m putting that work out there. I’m doing what I think I need to be doing.” However, at times, Warner has tried to do too much. Last week, defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans didn’t mention Warner’s contract when assessing his uneven season, but he indicated some of his problems stemmed from self-applied pressure. “He doesn’t need to press and feel like he has to do something special or extraordinary,” Ryans said. “Fred just has to be Fred and go play like he’s always played. He doesn’t have to put extra on his back and do more because we don’t have this guy or that guy. He just has to go.”

W’s: Win From Page B1 The tall ball Cavs exposed some flaws in the small ball Warriors, even in a losing effort. Cleveland outrebounded the Warriors 56-38 and by 13-5 on the offensive glass. Golden State fell into a 10-0 hole and only regained momentum enough to briefly pull ahead before allowing the Cavs to climb back and take a 54-51 lead into halftime. Cleveland was rarely missing and cleaning up the glass when it did. The Warriors were being nearly doubled up on the board, 31-16, at halftime. Cleveland got second chances on seven possessions and converted them into 12 points. The Cavs shot 52.6% from the field in the first quarter but only went downhill from there, culminating in a fourth quarter in which they were limited to 2-of-14 (14.3%) and outscored by 28 points. It was only the third time in franchise history the Warriors have outscored an opponent by at least 28 points in a quarter. The Cavs’ eight-point output was the lowest of any team in the NBA during any quarter this season. Simply, they started missing, stopped getting the rebound when they did, and that allowed the Warriors to take control, at last, in the final quarter.

49ers: Elijah Mitchell remains sidelined TV: Listings From Page B1 near the end of Jim Tomsula’s one-season tenure as a head coach, Baalke periodically began giving Ward and safety Jaquiski Tartt, then a rookie, coaching tips during practice. “That’s never good,” Ward said Thursday. “When the GM comes down there, something’s going on. And we saw what happened.” After leaving the 49ers, Baalke, 57, spent three seasons working for the NFL as an operations consultant. He joined the Jaguars last year as their director of player personnel

before he became their interim general manager when Dave Caldwell was fired during the season. Ward, Tartt and defensive lineman Arik Armstead are the remaining draft picks made by Baalke on the 49ers’ roster. Baalke, of course, was replaced by John Lynch, a Hall of Fame safety who had a 15-season NFL career. It was noted to Ward that the 49ers’ current GM also has offered him some coaching pointers. “Trent never played, right?” Ward said of Baalke, who was a linebacker at Bemidji State University. “John played

sidelined two days after he had surgery in which a pin was inserted in a broken finger on his right hand. Mitchell, whose hand was protected by a bandage, wore a con-contact jersey while stretching on the side at the start of practice. Running back JaMycal Hasty (ankle) also didn’t practice. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shin), cornerback Josh Norman (rib) and offensive tackle Jaylon Moore (knee) were limited. Samuel said he would play Sunday: “Just had a shin contusion, so just taking it slow. But we’ll be ready.”

and has a gold jacket. You can’t keep John off the field. John, probably, still wants to play. (But) he doesn’t say too much.” Warm greeting: Ward is coming off a twointerception performance in Monday’s 31-10 win over the Rams, returning one of those picks for a 27-yard touchdown. He was asked about the postgame message he received from Lynch. “He gave me a nice handshake with a hug,” Ward said. “That must mean I did something right. John doesn’t hug after handshakes often.” Injury report: Rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (finger) remained

Vanden: Both teams have solid offenses From Page B1 and his defensive coordinator, Larry Hogue, plenty to worry about. “I think for us it’s mostly about trying to take away what they want to do the most,” Murphy said. “We’re kind of gameplanning around the best parts of their offense. I think coach Hogue has a pretty solid game plan. Our student-athletes are going to have to execute. . . . We really need to take away their run game. We want to force them to throw.” On offense, the Vikings

Vikings are 2-2 at home in the semis, 1-3 on the road. The Eagles won in their previous semifinal appearance in 2012. Murphy likes the fact it’s the Eagles who will be making the 63-mile drive to the game and not his Vikings. “I think its huge to play at home, it’s always a big plus, especially in the playoffs, not to have to make that drive up there, stick to your normal routine for the whole day,” Murphy said. “I think its a big advantage.”

play disciplined football. We can’t afford some of the silly mental mistakes we’ve had recently,” the coach said. “It’s the kind of game you can fall behind the sticks and continually be chasing yards given up on penalties. We have to be more disciplined than we’ve been the last few weeks, take care of football. I think the turnover battle is going to be huge.” Vanden is making its ninth appearance in the semifinals, though only its third since winning the last of its three SJS titles in 1995. The
